While Nexus and Google Play Edition devices are receiving Android 4.4
KitKat updates, OEM-skinned devices always take too long to receive
these updates. Though the Xperia Z (C6603) and Xperia ZL (C6503) will
receive the Android 4.4 update in 2014, a leaked version of the Android
4.3 update meant for these devices has been posted online in the form of
an ftf file which can be easily flashed via FlashTool.
The build number for both the leaks is 10.4.B.0.569 and the firmware
has been tested by users on XDA forums. Most users have reported a
significant increase in the device’s performance without any bugs. Since
this is an unofficial leak, there is a possibility that the official
version that will be rolled out Over The Air (OTA) might carry a
different build number.
It is important to note that flashing this on your device will not void the warranty as it is a Sony-certified firmware. Also, flashing this firmware will revoke root access in case your device is already rooted but it will not affect the bootloader status.
Should you face any issues while flashing, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll be glad to help you.
