Sweet, running lollipop. Seems nice so far.

Is it an in-place upgrade or does it delete all your stuff?

 

[poffle]

Ya bugger it, i'll do the manual upgrade, hate waiting

You have the option to keep all your data when you flash, thats what I did. All my stuff is still there

*downloads firmware upgrade during work hours, mwahahhahaha rebel*

People gonna hate me, anyway better than waiting 2 hours at home to download it

Quite excited about this. jman, is there any battery improvement or to soon to tell?

Awesome, got Lollipop up and running. As mentioned, flashed with no root or unlocked boot loader. Took a little while, but everything is running perfectly and smoothly. And now that I flashed the Nordic version, I don't have any Vodacom crapware, so I'm happy. Would recommend it to anyone, it's fairly simple

Did you download this Flashtool?

That's what I did I can't comment yet on any battery improvements. Don't want the placebo to cloud my judgement

What is the difference between the Baltic and Nordic versions?

I'm downloading the Nordic one as I see that's the one you flashed.

I don't think there's any difference. I chose it randomly, and works well. I just followed that guide step by step

Cool. I'm gonna give it a go. It's downloading now but I'll only be able to do it at about 21:00 tonight as I'm working till then.

When flashing there is a check box to wipe data... uncheck that. I used the Xperia blog article posted earlier to do it.

Was I correct in downloading the Nordic Combined firmware? I don't see Generic Nordic.

Lollipop running on my Z3 compact. Thanks for the info jman.

Nevermind the error. My own stupid mistake.

I used Nordic combined too. Cool, is it still flashing or are you done? Mine took about 20-30 minutes, and then about 10 to optimise all the apps when you turn the phone on

Nope, everything done. It took a while yes. But so far it's running smooth. Will test it later when I'm done working.

That's strange, worked for me and I used a mac! Have you installed the pc companion application?
