i installed all drivers still, during flashing there is error messages 2 of them. Everybody telles me to use latest version of Flashtool, and iam afraid to use older version :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Monipeev:
Do not be afraid to try a previous version too. I'm sure that's not a problem to try with an older version 0.9.19.6 for example, because some other problem users receive when using the latter.

See and this topic wih the same error:

hello..could you plz plz plz tell me if anybody has received the update for e2303 in greece via OTA or pcc??? i dont want to flash it..
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JohnTheFarm3r:
No use of uninstalling system apps. :) I don't know, some people get lower, some higher score. First time I did the benchmark, I got 35000, now after few days I did a bench. a few times, and I usually get between 36000-38000. :) When I was on lollipop, the same was for me. On stock rom, I got max 31000-2 , while others got almos 35000. :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sergioslk:
be sure to benchmark when the phone its totally cold
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Gregory1306:
can anybody plz answer to my question????
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] diyar95:
Hahaha tried again it became 33000 ???
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JohnTheFarm3r:
Just be aware that if you try few times one after another, you will only get lower score, because of the higher temperature and lower performance. :)

If i update by flashtool can i do next update by OTA

:confused:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kikooOOoo:
It will probably be a while until the update is officially available in Macedonia. You could try downloading it manually from xperiafirmware and flashing it yourself, there is a guide there and it isn't really difficult. I've done that and everything works fine. If you feel uncomfortable or you've never messed around with a smartphones software than I recommend not doing it or finding someone who can because there is a risk of permanently damaging your phone. Also you can ask at your local operator for any information on when the update will be available. Whatever your choice good luck and I am not responsible for any damage you may or may not cause to your phone. :fingers-crossed: :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Monipeev:
It's not normal, absolutely no. If continue, just swich off your phone and repair with Xperia Companion.

If you flash "update" with FTF firmware Marshmallow and don't have touched system folders( root and etc) after that, yes, you will still receive and do the OTA update for Customization number on the new installed software, if you have Notification for this on the phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] afifandika:
yes i was repair with xperia companion, but still like that. stuck in boot animation, can i downgrade my e2353?

where i can get the ftf file and how? help me:)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Monipeev:
Yes, If everything is fine, there's no reason it can not. You can downgrade, but check Wipe options in Flashtool.

Stock firmwares are here, also and for E2353:

I flashed back to lollipop using flashtool.... Volume and Audio clarity of speakers are excellent... So the problem is with audio libs of MM....
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Vedran Vuk:
Not sure if anyone noticed but 26.3.A.0.131/R3C "Customized DE" has test keys in build.prop unlike release-keys in 5.0.

I was eager to put 6.0.1 on my E2303 but a generic CE version hasn't been released yet and I'm in Croatia so I messed a bit with system.ext4 in this german version just to check if there are any limitations language-wise or anything. I see there's some amazon and other junk on it.

In any case this test-keys property leads me to believe that these releases are either rushed and/or test only and there might even be a newer version available soon coming with other markets.

Just a heads-up.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] krumusainski:
I totally give up flashing firmware with flashtool. Error after error, no success. Ill wait official update here in Spain via OTA. My phone is sim free/unlocked, and with bulgarian number/carrier. I hope l'll be able to update it here when come up.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] FrancoBegbie:
I am on EE in the UK and have had the MM update for over a week. I got the update via plugging the phone into my PC and used the Sony Connect software, I did not get the update OTA. The phone itself kept reporting it was on the latest firmware.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] snopkowsky:
which version have less bloat?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] krumusainski:
Uk vodafone

Tell me what is your phone and which software version of flashtool you use for flashing after the process ok?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] aidy.lucas:
Version's with the least amount of bloatware are usually the customized UK, ect these are what you get on sim free unlocked device's
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] krumusainski:
Come on guys, any word when MM will be availeble in Spain?! ??
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ThatGeekyGuy:
It all depends on carriers... We cant assume the arrival date.. Why dont you simply flash ftf yourself and solved :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] krumusainski:
i bought this phone from Spain is sim unlocked, and i use Bulgarian number/carrier, and dont use mobile data here in Spain. So, ive tryed flashing but i just failed trying! I use few versions of flashtool and different firmware, there is eror after error, '' usb read vallue'' or sonething like that, and YES i installed all drivers! Ive tryed all week and just give up.

I would like to try maka update by flashing tool but I have one warning before update.

"Those data are not in the FSC script and will be skipped:

AUTO-BOOT, OSV RESTRICTION

Do you want continue ? "
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] snowyjesse:
I wouldn't suggest you to flash, unless your phone has no warranty anymore. Btw, the same happened to me with the update, it was just a glitch in companion...

My GF's M4 Aqua Dual is the E2333 with the 1293-7732_R9A customization number.

XperiaCompanion says non update on new version, actually 26.1.B.3.109 is the latest version for this "customization" that is a FR customization.

Even in XperiFirm this is the last (and only) version.

Someone can tell me if read something about why too much delay in Europe M4 Dual customization for a MM release? :confused:

It depends on your CDA... They have to release it, and that can take a very long time, or a short time. Has nothing to do with the actual release in europe, since it's out in the Netherlands already, but my CDA doesn't want to give the update :P...

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Ulysses182:
Anybody here on T-Mobile Croatia (or bonbon. same thing, right?) Did you receive the update?

Looking at XperiCheck I see that we should get the update, but I still haven't got anything.

I'm just not sure if this CDA/Customization number plays a role maybe. XperiCheck says CDA is 1293-9375 for T-Mobile HR, but I have 1294-4815_R5A.

Can anybody tell me what's the deal here?

maybe the only way to make this update is via recovery, flashing an .zip file made with android kitchen

or like here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/noob-tutorial-how-to-create-cwm-t2183077

back again with a question

I made this q in http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/development/rom-6-0-1-xperia-m4-aqua-t3423264/page19#post68189519

why all roms, made/moded ?????, by different members here, need specific system, for rom based on it, installed on phone and do not wipe system in recovery ?

I ask this q because this M4 is my first Sony, and, previous phones I had didnt required this, it didnt mater witch android version you will be flashing and witch one you already had working in the phone, just wipe everything, twice to be sure it is wiped for good, and flash new one from recovery with all inclusive system, data, apps etc.

I moded some stock roms with android kitchen before ( for previous phones I had) and flashed like described above, I also wiped one time my M4 all, including system and reflashed with flashtool, and now that I remeber, i used the blamed version 0.9.19. and worked, well, i had to flash the phone 3 or 4 times, but it worked then and now it doesnt

so why this requirements to have this and that to flash that and this

why ?????????????????
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Rycon33:
[MENTION=4214484]grigtm[/MENTION], aside from HTC, Nexus, and Samsung, I've had several Sony and Sony Ericsson phones(X8, Arc, TX, P, SP and now M4). All of which I unlocked the bootloader and flash many custom ROMs. In my opinion, Sony is next to Nexus in terms of being developer-friendly device(except for US versions for some strange reason). Granted, HTC(from before) and Samsung(until now) has many developers but ONLY because they have the popular devices. And Sony, despite their devices being developer-friendly has very little number of developers. As far as I can remember, only FXP team has been loyal with Sony since like forever. With few individual devs coming and going from time to time.

Now, with M4 Aqua. I see where you are coming from, there's not much ROMs to try. And even a deodexed stock or deodexed stock-based ROMs aren't widely available. And that's the problem, if we have plenty of those then we just need a custom recovery and we can just flash those ROMs to our hearts content. I cannot even see a single Marshmallow deodexed stock rom right now. Maybe we just chose the wrong Sony phone at this time, the Z series would have more ROMs availability I can imagine. Last time, I used to compile ROMs when I had the Xperia SP and the OnePlus One but I also got tired.

For now with M4 Aqua, I guess we just have to be contented with only rooting. Don't be frustrated easily, ROMs will come in due time(hopefully).
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] grigtm:
as I mention before, I moded some stock roms with kitchen ( but it has past about 1 or 2 years from than ), but at deodexing I encountered some problems, not all apps ware deodexed, so, some apps I had to copy them from other deodexed roms, it is a bit hard for me to use all this apps and mediums, and time, to make a deodexed rom, as I am a windows user, not Linux, i do not know if in Linux kitchen works perfect, but in windows it skips some things like deodexing all aps, even using universal deodexer it has skipped some system apps

if someone has the time, it is not science to deodex and mode stock rom, and personaly I do not like xposed

I just wander why failed to flash with flashtool and what if ? flashtool doesnt wipe system, I am trying to flash 6.0.1 over 5.0, error this bundle is not valid, and code byte error, all phone need to be wiped?

maybe I should start deodex the stock rom and root it
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] krumusainski:
Which FTF file from Flashtool is cleaner from blootware and take less space on the Phone?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] borriffick:
Does anyone know how to have the current selected network displayed in the status bar? I can pull down the menu twice and see it there, but not when I press the home button. (Updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1, NOT rooted)

I'm also not sure what the little white circle with the horizontal line through it is. Would be nice to be able to customize it a bit. Not sure if I can unless I root the device. I have Dev options and System IU turned on.

Hi guys, iam currently with UK vodafone FTF file, is this file from Flashtool is really with less bloatware? Or should i use different FTF file, propose me something?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] UnableToResetOldProfile:
unR00T for success.

Haaa hahaha ... I'm going to have the same problem as you, I'm rooted as well, only did this to remove the bloatware from the phone, especially that BS stock file browser they installed.

OK, so with the system as it is, unroot the device and do the update, report back.

Also, unroot then/or do a factory restore to original, then do the system update to 6.0, report back.

So my other question is this to all M4 owners, anyone r00t the 6.0 as of yet, or should I wait a bit longer for a r00t solution?

I really hate the bloat/crap/push/garbage that SONY crams into the phone.
