I saw that Xperia M2's Android version is Jelly Bean, but can be upgraded to Lollipop.
I want to buy a new Xperia M2 (don't ask me why), but I fear that since Xperia M2 is an old model, I still can't upgrade it to Lollipop (officially) anymore.
So, can I still upgrade the Android version of Xperia M2 if I buy a new one nowadays?
Thank you!

hey. i am a phone collector and i have a xperia m2. it comes with android 4.3 but can be upgraded to 5.1. important stuff: you have to flash the phone to upgrade it, since the servers are dead and i would not recomend using the phone on 5.1 since it uses up most of the phones space. my xperia m2 runs android 4.4 via cyanogenmod 11 smoothly, maybe even smoother than my main device. you can get the phone to work good via a android 5 rom but i would not recomend buying this phone as your main device.

I hear rumous say Xperia Z1 become 1st non-Nexus Smartphone to get Android 4.4, KitKat. Thats true?

They do, they don't, they change their mind. Until it comes out, what some customer service rep on a phone says, or someone monitoring a facebook page says, it does not speak for Sony as a whole, so I don't believe any of them until it comes out.
Hello all,
As brand new user of Xperia E3 I would like to ask you if you know about any source of Android 4.1-4.3 for Xperia E3. Is it possible to download that version (especially 4.3) at this moment? Xperia E3 it's quite new model (placed on the market in Q3 2014) and therefore (after reviewing of a couple of forums) no software is available for now excepts Android 4.4.2 (+upgrade) installation file.
To me it would be quite good to have Andr ver. 4.3(JB) on a device with 1GB RAM to obtain better performance and to have onlocked some options that are blocked on E3 with Andr4.4.2 :/
Am I right that there is no possiblity to install some general 4.3. version for Xperia E series and it must be a version designed for E3 only? Is it possible that there will be no other version available than 4.4.2 for that model??
Thanks in advance for any relpy and help on my issue
BEST wishes to all members!
No.. There's no other firmware for xperia e3 based on JB.. We are on the first firmware based on KK. There's no way to downgrade. You cannot flash any other model's firmware on your e3.. But you can give it a try by porting the firmware of any other xperia having same processor.Btw there are no performance issues.. It's great on kk and according to my experience kk is better compared to jb. And e3 might get 4.4.4 in near future but can't say..lollipop might also roll :good: :cyclops:
I'm living in Turkey and my Xperia M2 Dual device still running Jelly Bean 4.3
Today, Android 4.4.4 released for both devices (M2 & M2 Dual) most country and why we should force use 4.3 ? Why no update for "Dual" devices in these countries ?
I'm feeling bad about this. I'd pay same cost for M2 Dual as like M2 LTE.
What can I do?
you should look into flashing the phone manually for yourself. you can find the latest firmware for the D2302 and instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762296

There's a hope my friend. Recently i got this when i was going through over the net searching for Xperia E3 Lollipop update. This is what i found. Just follow the link. Maybe we need to keep on checking through software update or PC companion.

anyway... I think the Android 6.0 Marshmallow can be true :highfive:
I think we will need to build Android 5.1 since we have only 4GB of internal memory. Xperia M2 got LP 5.1 version and android system takes 3GB. LP is not that huge, but after Sony put all their stuffs it is. Thats the only reason why I am worried about update. Of course on some sites you can find that we will get marshmallow since we got developer preview. Xperia M2 also got developer preview for 6.0 and M2 users now have 5.1.
I have an idea how to fix camera and mobile data on 5.1, but I am not sure will it work and how long it will be until we get nice custom ROM.
According to jerpelea Sony is still working on this phone. So we can only wait for official or we can start making ROM and I am 100% sure that they will help us.

But they are not working on non lte variants
I am sure if you start learing now how to port it shouldnt be problem to port fully working ROM on other variants.

How To Port??? Tell Me. I will try to port cm12.1 to my non lte variant. Is there any step by step method available???
Sorry to give you the bad news guys, but here it goes: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/
My dad has an E3 so I guess he will remain on 4.4.4
Actually it's not that bad, since 5.0 made everything worse for Samsung and LG
Guys, the wait is useless now. See Sony official decision about no further updates on Xperia E3

E3 died.

You should learn a lot about Android before moving on to install custom ROMs (there are Nougat custom ROMs for Z3).
Unlocking Bootloader and rooting should be an easy one to achieve for you. If not, Google those things or search on XDA. If you rather just jump in and flash anything you think is good, you will end up with a near-dead device.

Not sure if trolling or serious.....
There's loads of Z3 Nougat AOSP and CAF ROMs now here in the forums....
Just take the time to read about unlocking bootloader and the effect this will have on your camera quality and warranty (which I don't think anyone has now).
They are worth taking the time to learn about.
But as said if you just dive into it you will almost certainly brick your phone and not know how to repair the software.
Do so at your own risk.
