Xperia Z3+ System Dump Available from Lollipop firmware

Sony launched Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z3+ Dual a few days back only and now Xperia Z3+ system dump is available from its running Lollipop firmware. On Xperia Z3+ hands-on video it was spotted that Sony introduced many new elements like new Xperia themes, wallpapers, boot animations etc.

Keep in mind that system dump is not a ftf file so it can’t be installed on any Xperia device. Apps taken just out of the system dump can’t be installed on non-rooted devices unless they are ported.
