Hi!
I've recently received a demo unit of Xperia XZ (F8331) which I have to write a review on. I must return it to the carrier within three weeks. The problem is that the phone is stuck on a very old version of marshmallow, specifically version 39.0.A.1.213 and July 2016 security patch. When I check for updates in settings or with Sony's phone Companion, there aren't any updates found. I'd really like to get the official nougat running on the device, but I mustn't void the warranty or leave any traces of software changing since I have to return it. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Flash nougat ftf with flashtool, here a guides to follow.

Carriers usually controls the availability of the update (they have to approve the new SW, etc).. this sometimes can be the reason of a delayed update.
However, other common issues with update is that your device came with unlocked bootloader and/or it's rooted or even it's a device with special SW for review units.
If you check in the Xperia Firm, there are 3 units stuck at this version (see screenshot).
If you are allowed to flash your device, I do recommend you do it manually.

Hi!
Just a little update. I did upgrade it by following the tutorial found on xda. I flashed the official nougat firmware for my country (Slovenia, if anyone is interested... There is only one official firmware for it on XperiFirm) all went through smoothly. The warranty is still there (checked in settings) and everything works better. I am guessing it was a pre-released version of software installed on it which had blocked updates because of the old July 2016 security patch. The bootloader was and still is untouched (checked that). I hope they don't notice, but if they do, I guess I'll just to buy my first Xperia hahah What do you guys think - have I made a mistake?
Thanks for help, everyone!
Hey there,
I own a Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 (1288-4394 variant), and it looks like Sony forgot to release the 23.5.A.1.291 firmware update for this variant, which is kind of a bummer since they don't answer my emails.
My phone isn't rooted, and I was wondering if there's a way I can update my firmware without wiping my phone clean.
Thanks!
I own a D6605 with that firmware through OTA update.
Have you searched/selected the correct model at the Sony Support site?
I would recommend to look for it, and maybe specify my model number, and download it yourself.
At the supportsite theres also a tool which has to option to install this update (flash) without wiping your phone. Search this forum for details, as i'm writing this down from memory. They used this method on Z(1) and Z2 before.

What's so special about that TW build? Bands?
Any of the other .291 don't match: https://xpericheck.com/device/D6653 ?
When will the Xperia XA Ultra get the nougat update?
My Friend got an Xperia XA which had nougat in the box and I'm curious why my phone hasn't had any OTA updates.

Ask the manufacturer, XDA has nothing to do with when your device gets a stock update.
Also, updates are controlled by your carrier. Do you and your friend have service with the same mobile carrier? If your network is different than his then it means his carrier has the update but yours doesnt.

I guessing it must have been the New XA-1 which ur friend got which comes with Nougat, Cause old XA is yet to receive Nougat. I Am using the same Old XA and waiting too :crying: And best guess it's gonna roll in June, like 60% sure it'll be in Early or Mid June, cause i had Xperia M4 aqua last year, it was supposed to receive Marshmellow in March but it landed in June so guessing it's kinda the same case here too.. everyone was expecting it in March no news yet.
I attempted to flash my Sony Xperia XZ Premium F8332 Dual Sim with the Androxyde Sony Mobile Flasher to upgrade to Android 9, but it failed. I attempted to use the Android 9 ROM for the dual sim model G8142, release 47.2.A.10.107.
There does not seem to be any compatible "official" ROMs that will allow me to upgrade to Android 9 with this method. I'm also open to custom ROMs, TWRP, etc. I prefer to use Android 9 over 8 (minus bloatware) if possible, but close to stock.
Is there a technical reason that the firmware for Sony XZ Premium model G8142, release 47.2.A.10.107, would not work for this model?
I apologize in advance if this issue has already been addressed, but I did not find another thread that addresses this specifically. Thank you.

Well, in the first sentence you said you have an xz premium, but gave the xz model number.
The XZ never got a pie update, the XZ premium did.

Oh lord. I'm sorry. When I originally looked it up, it was shown as an xz premium.
