[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
actually i agree with you. "Played" a bit with Lollypop in Nexus 6 and 9 devices. Yes, it's nice, but i didn't feel that it's revolution as was advertised. There are new features of course, but seems that majority of them are interface design (material) changes.

So in general it seems an evolution to KitKat, like iOS 8 to iOS 7. But KitKat with xposed framework and a few other mods&tweaks, i reckon it can be as functional as Lollipop.

So no extra passion to get lollipop to tabz as soon as possible.

I agree as well, it seems Sony has decided to customise AOSP very minimally, so don't expect many differences between the Nexus 7 and the sony software

Do you realize you ressurected many different several month old threads?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] reptile64:
Xperia Tablet Z forum is almost dead... nobody is craving for lollipop :P

So, WHERE IS OUR LOLLIPOP?????
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SickBeast:
Do you guys know if we can install the ota lollipop update if we have root? Or do we have to flash the full rom using emma?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Jonfensu:
Just wait for a Pre Rooted ROM
[Xperia Tablet Z General] AsgardCurse:
I guess we have to wait and see.

However, seeing that the OTA fails on rooted Nexus devices since 5.0.1 , I highly doubt you can OTA update other rooted devices above 5.0.1 either. So it'll probably be the good'ol "unroot, update, re-root"

But hey. I might be wrong.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Dzhedaj:
As far as I can remember, there was no OTA for any of the previous versions for the Tablet Z. You have to update via their PC software, so it just sort of "dirty flashes" the system on top, overwriting your kernel and removing root that way.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] giosal:
So far I can see that Z3, Z3 compact, Z2, Z1 and Z1 compact got the update, so we're next ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] reptile64:

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

There is no Custom TW For sgp312. I'm flashing the custom tw for sgp311 even though I have the sgp312... hopefully i will have no issues as the only difference is storage space (hope it doesn't ruin partitions).:good:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] monivan:
I have SGP321 over there!! I guess u'll get it later!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] InteliDroid:
Dude, I flashed the TW Custom region and I still can't see the OTA update... can you capture it and allow us to flash it. And please show proof cause I have flashed other regions before to get updates earlier on my samsung but it's weird you have it but i am yet to get the update.

Oh... ok lol, now I see... can I flash the SGP321 on mine hehe?

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Darkimmortal:
For comparison here is CM12 ('official' CM12 nightly not the unofficial CM12.1 build)

Drilling into the numbers it seems Sony's lollipop is a tiny bit slower, though the difference in storage speed is interesting. My tablet is a SGP311 (wifi only 16GB), but I can't see that making any difference

I'll be installing Sony official lollipop as soon as it is released for my variant and will report back with a subjective comparison. CM12 (with DS Battery Saver to replace Stamina Mode) is certainly better than any previous Sony firmware
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tonylee2000:
Ok, so I downloaded the HK version from Xperifirm and tried to flash onto a UK Generic tablet this afternoon and for reasons that I cannot fathom, the Wifi does not work. Not as in keeps dropping off the network or will not connect to a network but I cannot physically turn Wifi on. The tablet will not let me. Will try flashing again later but if anyone has any clues or experiences same please let me know.

Thanks

[Xperia Tablet Z General] reptile64:
In a few minutes I will install it and I will let you know.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tonylee2000:
OK so further to my previous post, a factory reset did fix the wifi not switching on issue. I did notice that the boot animation stuttered a bit though. However, I am having issues with the SD card not mounting properly and also I cannot get SkyGo to download episodes of my favourite TV show. Prior to flashing the HK lollipop, I had 6 episodes downloaded onto my XTZ. Post flashing, I get an error message saying not enough memory to download. Also some basic things like keyboard language dictionaries failing to download.

Will attempt to flash back to KK tonight and hoping that when the native version arrives in UK, I will not experience these issues.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] reptile64:
I had no issues with SD or dictionaries, only the boot screen has some lag, not something important though, maybe you should wait for another version or try to repair it via PC companion!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
it will work, but will reformat your internal storage to 16GB.

Do I get the update OTA if my XTZ is rooted or do I have to unroot first? Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tonylee2000:
Quick update on this. Today I flashed the Nordic version from Xperifirm and it all seems fine now. Even the lag on the start animation seems better.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Darkimmortal:
So as promised, a subjective comparison between this and CM12:

Longer standby battery life with Stamina Mode than with DS Battery Saver, plus far better app whitelisting. CM12 rarely managed longer than 2-3 weeks (or barely 1 week without DS Battery Saver), whereas Stamina Mode seems to be just as effective as it was on Sony's KitKat firmware and allows standby of 6-8+ weeks.

Very slightly less responsive than CM12, but not enough to be a deal breaker. Animations are equally smooth.

More free RAM than CM12 - without any debloating other than using a different keyboard and launcher, with no apps running it is ~200-300MB used, while CM12 was 400+MB.

Less free storage than CM12 - Sony firmwares are much larger

I'll be sticking with Sony's Lollipop, mainly due to the battery life and bravia engine/clearaudio+ (as my primary use for the tablet is watching video content)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] me4tux:
is it worth the upgrade ?

Looks like the date for the US XTZ wifi is noted as 2015/05/29 .

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiatabletzwifi/software/

You may already have the latest software, depending on the date of purchase. Software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device.

Android version: Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Latest available software: 10.6.A.0.454

Release started: 2015-05-29

Anyone in the USA getting this OTA yet?

And, it's still not clear to me if the upgrade is worth it compared to 4.3 ? 4.3's battery life is amazing, but I really would like the feature that can transfer content over to the SD card. I wish we can backport that feature from Lollipop over to 4.3. Anyone here know how to do that?

I have a US SGP311 on stock rooted 4.4.4 with TWRP. What would be the best way to upgrade to Lollipop? I am assuming I can't just use the PC tool to upgrade since I'm rooted, but I can't really find a stock unrooted image to flash.

Edit: nevermind, forgot about this - http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

[Xperia Tablet Z General] DdcCabuslay:
I've been having trouble flashing the Generic US firmware onto my XTZ. The loader.sin seems to be corrupt and won't flash. I've downloaded the firmware via XperiFirm twice. Anyone else have similar issues?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SickBeast:
What about root? Can you flash lollipop with root? Can we protect the root?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SickBeast:
I just tried installing the OTA update directly on the tablet and it failed. It downloaded fine but then it put itself into recovery mode and the blue bar graph barely moved. After that the tablet rebooted itself back into KitKat.

From there I tried doing it using the Sony PC Companion software. It seems to have updated itself beautifully. The tablet stayed completely dark with the screen off throughout the process, but when it was finished I just unplugged the USB cable and powered it on. Right now it's doing its initial boot into Lollipop. I will report back soon if I still have root.

I did not have TWRP or any custom recovery installed if that makes any difference to you. All I had was root. Also, my bootloader is locked.

I'm surprised no one else has posted this information yet. I hope some of you find it useful.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

Ok so as an update to what I just said, I have lost root access after upgrading to Lollipop. I have to say, though, that I really like the new interface. Browsing in Chrome seems much more fluid and responsive as well. Thanks Sony!

Figured I'd follow up as well. The official sony flashtool was detecting my device as the UK version (which doesn't have LP yet) for some reason. So instead I used XperiFirm to download the US firmware and flashtool to create and flash an FTF for it. Up and running with LP now!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] AsgardCurse:
I got the OTA a few hours after writing that I didn't have it on Orange Spain yet.

So in the 2 days I've used Lollipop on the Z tab, I can only say that everything is smoother. Games that used to lag doesn't lag, stuff starts faster and so on. If it's because it's a new install(a newly installed computer always run better then the 2 year old install) or if Lollipop just is so much better on my tablet, I don't know. Yet..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjgasca:
Hi, I recently got a I9195 and started to have some setup problems at the time of saving the apn settings. It seems that the radio doesn't work, since it randomly disconnects the 3G connection and I have to restart the phone to make it work again. Recently I discovered that I can't make any phone calls when it disconnects mobile data.

I think that switching on-off wi-fi and mobile data is the action that freezes the application.

The original Android version 4.2.2 was updated to 4.4.2 to check if this was solving the problem.

Bandbase: I9195XXUCNE6

Your Phone is NOT bricked

Hello there,

I think i have a solution to your problem and the answer is ( just follow what i say)

1) Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool from here.

2) Then install it on your PC , later install Fastboot and Flashtool Drivers (the .exe file will be there in c:\flashtool\flashtool drivers,u need not download separately) , as u are using Sony Xperia M , Check Flashtool drivers , Fastboot Drivers and Drivers for Xperia P,S when prompted.

3) Download the .FTF file of your Phone. Google it u"ll find it in no time

4)Then open Flashtool and Connect your Phone in Flashmode Mode ( by holding Volume Down button ,check for ur phone )

5) Search for the .FTFfile u"ve downloaded , Do check Wipe cache and data checkboxes and then click Flash, plz wait for the Flashtool to detect and prepare your files for Flashing

That's it , Now your Phone will work like never before

Plz tell me if it worked or not coz it worked for me and i am sure it will work for u too. i use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004

Some minutes ago Sony wrote in his blog that all the Z phone series will get the new Android. And it's while it has not said about other phones like T2 Ultra, C3 and other 2014 phones.

But the good point is even Xperia Z, made in 2011, will receive this update.

And the first rolling update will be for Z2 and Z3 in the early 2015, and then with a late, others like Z1, Z1C, Z1S, Z T-mobile, etc will get this update.

But Sony did not mention the Japanese and Chinese versions of Z phones.
