Hello, XDA.
All smartphones I owned, SONY Xperia Ray (2013-2017), SONY Xperia M2 Aqua (2017-2019) and SONY Xperia XZ Premium (from 2019) I finally modded using XDA forum to extend their life.
SONY Xperia Ray - official 2.3.4 to 4.0.4, then rooted, installed Android 5.1.1 on 64GB microSD card using system dedicated 16 GB partition and the rest 48GB as standard card partition
SONY Xperia M2 Aqua - official 4.4.2 to 5.1.1, then rooted, installed Android 7.1.2
SONY Xperia XZ Premium - official 7.1 to Oreo 8 to Pie 9, unrooted, but using j4nn temp root on Oreo, modified Pie OEM settings to allow VoLTE a VoWiFi for a Vodafone CZ
I decided to give a small piece of a Pie back to the community of what I found and that is why I registered to write down a guide of figured and tested steps to allow VoLTE a VoWiFi for a Vodafone CZ SIM on XZ Premium single SIM on Android Pie.

The XSP will never have the 4.2.2 but will have the 4.3
Good news For Xperia E1 and E1 dual sim .. Also next update will be for M2 and M2 dual sim
Source and Instructions
but only one release of kernel source.
old kernel probably not matching kitkat :crying:
Hoping Lollipop
Hope Sony launch update Lollipop for E1

Nope, they said only the Z-Series is getting Lollipop
Recently I bought a Sony Xperia Z1 that came with Kitkat. It is worth to upgrade to the Lollipop 14.5.A.0.270 or it is better to stay with Kitkat?

In my opinion its better to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom
As long as you don't want to unlock your bootloader you could safely upgrade to .270 and root your phone using kingoroot( then remove it using some scripts and install supersu)
Or just stay at .270...
You can also downgrade it back to KK using Flashtool if you don't like lollipop..
Lollipop has some issues (depends sometimes .... ) but for me its better than KK..
Also we are currently waiting the new official 5.1 rom which will fix most of the issues (I hope so)
Stay with KK
IMO It is better to use KitKat with this phone. You can tweak the hell out of it and play with multiple roms. The stock rom for Lollipop on this phone is a joke. You could quite easily use the same software running on z3 roms on this phone.
But for now I have one recommendation. This is my fave rom for Kitkat.

Hello Guys a long times ago july 14, I made root im my Xperia using this forum..... Now pls I want know if there is a stable marshmallow for SP. My xperia sp is with 4.3 jelly bean... Thanks a lot
I guess you have the ability to search the XSP Forum to get aware about the current status of MarshMallow for XSP.
If my guess is wrong, Here you go
Yeah...there is but cam is bugged...try latest cm13
Hello,
I have an F8132 with the build 41.3.A.2.149 under Android 8.0.0. My bootloader can be unlocked (but is not).
I'm pretty new to xda and I've browse the forum but the latest guide to root this phone are from 2016 and not for this version.
So is there a new way to root this phone available or can you give me a link to root this version of the F8132 ?
With me having past experience with Sony devices. You can't just flash magisk using a recovery of choice and boom. Sadly, Sony thought of this. You will either need a modded version of stock or a custom kernel due stock with rooting unlocked
Existenz Oreo for example has this unlocked and extra customisation
