Official Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Available for Xperia Z3 Compact D5833

Even though Sony isn’t yet rolling out the OTA Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Xperia Z3 Compact you can already flash the stock Lollipop firmware on the mentioned device. How is this possible? Well, as you know Sony did released the official Lollipop OS for the D5803 handset, so an update provided by Google and Sony is already out. Well, the same software can now be flashed on the Xperia Z3 Compact, all thanks to those of xda-developers.

So, bottom line, we do have the official Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS for your Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, but the ROM is ported from the D5803 device – those of xda-developers managed to port the firmware on the Compact, so the OS isn’t coming straight from Sony. However, the Lollipop system is still official and you will get only stock and default features, apps and capabilities.

But, in case you are wondering, the same platform can be installed only manually on your smartphone and only by following an update process that is usually used on custom ROMs. Therefore, if you want to update your Sony Xperia Z3 to official Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS, first you will have to root your Sony branded device and then you will have to flash a custom recovery image, such as CWM or TWRP recovery, on your phone.

Also, you should backup your data before considering in applying the update as a hard reset is completed during the update process. Other than that, you should know that the Lollipop firmware is stable and smooth as there aren’t any software problems reported yet.
