We hear you re: JB 4.3 for #Xperia T, TX, V, SP – we’re making final preps & will start rolling from end Jan / early Feb

— Sony Xperia News (@SonyMobileNews) January 16, 2014

A few days back we saw Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware getting certified on PTCRB and then later a new Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.256 firmware was certified on PTCRb but now it is removed which keeps us in dark that which android 4.3 firmware will be actually rolled out.

If you still want to taste the android 4.3 flavor on Xperia SP, then you can install the leaked Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.256 firmware ROM which only works for unlocked bootloader phone.

After a few days we saw a new 9.2.A.1.131 firmware build getting leaked for Xperia TX which is android 4.3 version and same 9.2.A.1.131 firmware was also leaked for Xperia V which arises the doubt that which firmware build will be finally rolled on Xperia SP, Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V is still unknown.

How do you fells guys on this pathetic behavior of Sony regarding rolling updates for older devices and flagships , drop your comments below.

Xperia V LT25i Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware ROM Leaked – Install on Unlocked Bootloader devices

When it comes to leaks either leaked handsets, their benchmark scores or leaked firmware before officially release, it never stops for Xperia handsets no matter how hard Sony tries to stop it. Just now EXR Team has come up with so claimed Xperia V LT25i Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware leaked ROM which is exact the same build number leaked for Xperia TX LT29i from them, a few days ago.

Something is wrong here, we saw Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware getting certified for Xperia T and Xperia V on PTCRB but the same 9.2.A.0.278 firmware was leaked for Xperia T but interesting for Xperia TX and Xperia V a different Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware has been leaked, so is it the latest version which Xperia T, TX and V users will get or it is some future version, doubt prevails.

Xperia V LT25i Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware ROM Leaked

Leaked ROM of Xperia V LT25i Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware is available for download and you can install it on your Xperia V LT25i, remember it works on unlocked bootloader only.

Download EXR.MN-Ming.V.9.2.A.1.131.zip | 739 MB

Xperia V LT25i Android 4.3 9.2.A.1.131 firmware Screenshots

By seeing screenshots it is visible that Xperia V will also get the new white UI, new Sony smart camera app and downloadable Xperia Themes as what Sony rolled on to other devices getting android 4.3.

All Xperia V users who are willing to test it, keep in mind you need to unlock your bootloader for it as firmware ftf is still not available.

Do let us know Xperia V users, do you like android 4.3 flavor, like the white UI. Drop your comments below.

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware certified for Xperia T and Xperia V again

Only 4 devcies are left without android 4.3 update as mentioned by Sony viz. Xperia SP, Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V. A while ago we saw new android 4.3 12.1.A.0.256 firmware Certified for Xperia SP again, previous build certified was 12.1.A.0.253. On 31st December we saw Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware getting certified for Xperia T and Xperia V and nothing for Xperia TX yet. But there has been revision to previous certified build for Xperia T and Xperia V.

We just spotted new Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware certified for Xperia T and Xperia V and nothing for Xperia TX yet on PTCRB website. It seems this revised build is a bug fixing update of previous build and should come soon anytime now. Have a look at the certification below.

[ UPDATE – 9 JAN ]

Xperia T LT30p Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware Screenshots Leaked

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware certified for both Xperia T variants LT30p and LT30a.

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware certified for Xperia V LT25i

As today only Xperia T, V and SP got revised firmware certification it seems Sony is planning to release all 3 at the same time and we hope we see soon android 4.3 firmware certification for Xperia TX also.

What issues you are facing now Xperia T and Xperia V users on present android 4.1.2 firmware, drop your comments below.

Xperia T and Xperia V Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware Certified

Finally a happy news for Sony Xperia T and Xperia V users who were asking again and again when android 4.3 update will come to their devices, just now we spotted PTCRB has certified Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware for both Xperia T and Xperia V. At present Xperia T and Xperia V are on android 4.1.2 9.1.A.1.145 firmware.

9.2.A.0.276 firmware changes the build from 9.1.A.X.XXX to 9.2.A.X.XXX which clearly indicates a significant major update i.e. Android 4.3 as promised by Sony. To our surprise no android4.3 firmware is certified for Xperia TX yet on PTCRB website.

[ UPDATE – 9 JAN ]

Xperia T LT30p Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.278 firmware Screenshots Leaked

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware certified by PTCRB for Xperia V LT25i.

Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware certified by PTCRB for Xperia T

Both Xperia T versions LT30p and LT30a will be getting similar Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware update.

We expect Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware soon will also be certified for Xperia TX.

It is speculated that Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V will get the same UI as which other Xperia Z family members got in their android 4.3 update recently and if it not comes then surely it would be a disappointment for the users who are eagerly waiting for it.

Android 4.3 firmware isn’t released for Xperia SP yet so we expect it should comes anytime now and as far as Xperia T, TX and V are concerned it may be rolled after 1st week of Jan 2014. What do you think Xperia T, TX and V users ? Are you happy now…Drop your comments below.
