Yes please, Im using the sony concept on my z3 compact phone and its amazing, its amazingly fast, and the feature I am waiting so much is adoptive storage, I have a 64gb micro sd on my tablet but since the 16gb internal fill up so much its pretty much useless to have a micro sd, on my phone on the other hand with android 6.0, it takes the micro sd and the internal storage as one partition, so I dont have to worry about moving any file, and as far as android goes, I have 70gb of storage :D, I NEED THIS ON MY TABLET NOW!!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] leo72793:
Means id have 130.2gb :D:D:D:D
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Ukbondraider:
Yep only thing im intetested in with marshmallow is the storage improvement. I have a 128gb and 200 gb card waiting but suspect the 128gb is the max for this device.

dudes i have PERFECT results as concern speed and battery with stock KK and this fully debloating script http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/kk-debloating-script-xperia-phones-t3192846.I have more than 10 hours screen on time with browsing internet.I am not an expert but from what i read about android 6,i don't believe that it will be more stable from KK.Basically i believe no-one OS till now is better from KK.And don't forget that 34% from all android devices run KK.Also if you have root like me,you can easilly customize your rom to add android M features :)

Anybody test if the new beta is aviable for our device? I can't because I have KK, like the guy above say the battery in KK is the best!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sveintore:
Doesn't look like the Tablet gets the beta.

Just have to wait :(

(But it works great on lollipop too, maybe better on kitkat, but I never used it on KK).

On the Z5 on the other hand, lollipop was lollipoo.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] stryyker:
Its ridiculous we almost at April and we still dont have MM on Z3tc...

I have some bugs on my device probably fixed with 6.0.... Sony is the worst to release updates. =/
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dnnz:
I know it supersucks because we and the z2 tablet are the only ones who don't have MM, z5 have it and Z3 and z2 users have the concept since December and now the beta... But us NOTHING, The Z3 line all have the same processor, the EXACT model, is that hard to make available the concept for us??.... .....
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] stryyker:
The whole Sony tablet phone is not bad to the ones are not super into especific stuff, but about updates and that Sony sucks a lot.

For me is the last thing Sony I will buy tablet or phone atm
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] guybrush2099:
what will you do more with MM?

This tablet runs better than every MM tablet ...

Anyway I have Samusng and Sony smartphones and they get MM togheter in march :) but for example Nexus got MM before: it crashed, drained battery and it seemed a crash test of the new Android version...I prefer a better device with a better software, also if the software is older labeled but play more things than newer :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] GigaSPX:

Marshmallow certified on PTCRB
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] zuz242:
Is it? I fail to read relevant information from that site. Does mentioned SW version 23.5.A.0.570 mean Marshmallow? Even it is MM it says nothing about the date it will reach us :( But hope is up ;)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] wulfiss:
yes, it is! its the same number of MM build for Z3, Z3c and Z2. For the release we just have to wait.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] raytheblacksmith:
My body (and tablet) is ready. Although I must admit I'm not exactly in a hurry, Lollipop works perfectly for me. It's just my "I like new and shiny" part that wants it. :)

Wh is everyone so eager for the update? 5.1.1 is perfect.

We dont get adoptable storage so marshmallow is pointless. I have been using M on my Z4 tablet and it feels worse. I'd rather keep 5.1.1 on my Z3 tablet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] StephanSch:
Just my points after using mm daily over half a year

- security updates

- much better permissions

- much better share menu

- much better copy menu (include and pop over app results of the marked words)

1 year for Android N (IF)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] stryyker:
Lol I doubt we get android n.

Sony delivers mm after 3/6 months on almost every device we will not expect see android n until the end of the year or 2017 xD shame.

i know that, but dreaming is free. :laugh: jaajajaja
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dnnz:
Yes the Z3 series will receive android N, and that includes the Z3 Tablet, the thing is that we'll have to wait 1 year or more...

Hi Wulfiss

I have rooted Andorid 5.1.1 using giefroot. and dualrecovery installed using the batch file from nut.

I have ben looking around and i am not sure how to root the mm or wich recovery to flash i the mm.

If you got it working how did you do it, hope you will share the information.

Thanks in advance.

Torben5247
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] wulfiss:
non problem, It is difficult for me to express myself in English.(sorry for that) but i will try my best.

and I do not make me responsible for what might happen, it worked on my tablet.

what I did was create a pre rooted ROM with this files:

-BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-SystemMode.zip=supersu

-RecRootV3_combined z3tab.zip=recovery

and and after I followed the normal process to create a prerooted rom with the PRFCreator_v1.3. once I obtained the rom, I proceed to flash it and woalaa. its work. jajaja

I hope you understand.

PD: the RecRootV3_combined z3tab.zip I just replace the recovery for the tablet. nothing more. All credit to the creators of files.

PD: to access the "recovery" have to press "vol -" when you start the tab

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dnnz:
Using prerooted MM I installed busybox, layers, and a theme for layers, now the tablet is in bootloop, but i can't access the recovery... there is a way of solve this without installing official firmware in Flashtool, if i do that i have to do all the process of going to 5.1.1 to use kingroot, etc.

How do you install that? you need a recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nCuXaPaA:
Yes you need recovery,i flashed via flashtool 23.4.A.1.232 rooted whit the last kingroot and installed recovery made by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] this version i used its stable 2.8.21-RELEASE.Its really important to flash the prerooted MM before you reboot to system or you will lose root and recovery and you will have to installed again(on the 1st boot in recovery flash my prerooted MM and wipe cache and dalvik).good luck

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dnnz:
If you flash a prerooted rom after that you have to wipe dalvik cache and cache to have the recovery. Check if you have the recovery if you don't you can download RecRootV3 and install from the PC.

Marshmallow Update sent to my device (SGP612) last night, cant install as i'm rooted with custom recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ludovicien:
Nothing in Belgium yet (SGP611). I'm hoping this might help battery life a bit but am I right in thinking this won't do anything about the irritating storage full warning? No option to integrate internal and external memory.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Frankie1588:
What do you plan to do? It still wasn't send to my device and I thought it may be because I am rooted with a custom recovery as well.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sudman:
dont have much option really, if I want to keep root then I'll have to wait till a zip is available or if want to upgrade now then I'll have to remove root & custom recovery. I think I'll wait.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] zhuanyi:
Why don't you guys use the pre-rooted package a few pages back? You can flash it from recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sudman:

I flashed my own prerooted zip with TWRP to my SGP612 and all is working. But there is one issue: If you update busybox with one of the apps from Play Store, TWRP is no longer able to mount /system. Then you have to reinstall RecRootV3 and stay with the included busybox.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] CrazyPeter:
OK, so looking into doing this myself. Have worked out some of the steps for my LOCKED (but rooted) SGP611.

Download and install Xperia Flashtool

Run it up and click the XperiFirm downloader, find your device, then check all, pick your device ID (or something close, I used Nordic Combined NCB), click the not very obvious download links on the r/h pane (e.g. 23.5.A.570/ R2D). Let it download and then close XperiFirm

Flashtool with then do some stuff and create a FTF and for reasons unknown to me, a Torrent file...

What now?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] glimmling:
To create a prerooted flashable zip, download PRFCreator and the 2 attachments from #54. See the attached picture, how to use PRFCreator. When you click the 'Create' button, it will build your zip.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nupi:
Flashed the Nordic Combined FTF in Flashtool, any obvious way to get TWRP running now?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] glimmling:
You need root for a custom recovery. I think, rooting MM directly is not possible yet. So if you want root and custom recovery, you have to go back to a rootable firmware, root it, install XZDualRecovery and from there you can flash a prepared prerooted flashable MM zip with recovery.

Yes I have received the update a couple of days ago, but as stated I have not installed as I'm rooted and running a custom recovery. Currently building my own zip using the instructions previously posted in order to flash Marshmallow to it.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] moneybanks14:
not sure why im waiting then still to be honest!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] JLowe:
And if you go further to create your own Rom without bloatware ( extracting system.ext4 & debloating). I have then the system and META-Inf folder and dualrecovery.zip and supersu.zip. How do I manage the META-INF (updater-script) and the other necessary files like kernel and boot.img?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nupi:
That's what I feared. So I flashed one of the supposedly pre rooted FTF but no luck... Ah, how much simpler life is on the Nexus side...

Ok so I have flashed boot.img from CM12.1 and that was good enough to flash a prerooted image.

I have put it on Google Drive if anyone cares (SGP611, based on Nordic Combined, SuperSU 2.71 and RecRootV3 providing TWRP3.0.2): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1NDfh-nEU0dT3R6bGhrOWdIRVE
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] glimmling:
FTF files can't be prerooted, as far as I know. You must prepare them first with PRFCreator to get a flashable zip.

I had a Nexus 7 before I got the X3TC and I'm much happier with the Sony device. I'm not a fan of custom roms, I mostly prefer the rooted stock firmware. It has not much bloatware and you can freeze the apps, which you don't like. It has many useful enlargements builtin, where I had to fiddle around on the Nexus side (mount samba shares, dualshock controller support, sdcard support, .....). And the performance is much much better, as with the N7.
