In mid-October we already told you that the Sony Xperia Z could start to receive the official update to 4.3 Android Jelly Bean from end of november. The eleventh month of the year ended more than a week and a half ago and, despite the delay, it seems that the Japanese company is continuing with its plans to upgrade to what was the flagship of the firm until the appearance of the Xperia Z Ultra o X. In fact, The new firmware with Android 4.3 has been leaked for the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL that the Japanese firm could begin to distribute in the coming weeks.
Yes, it is true that we have already shown you Sony Xperia Z running 4.4 Android KitKat, but in that case it was a Custom ROM and what the guys from xda-developers offer us today with the build number 10.4.B.0.569 for Sony Xperia Z - C6603 - Y Xperia ZL - C6503 -, has all the ballots to be the official update of the aforementioned devices to 4.3 Android Jelly Bean or, in the case of not being one, it will not be very far. The user who has released this new software package has labeled it as a version “commercial and for journalists”, So it seems like it goes a step beyond being simple test firmware.
Download and install firmware 10.4.B.0.569 with Android 4.3 for your Xperia Z or Xperia ZL
While we wait for confirmation whether or not it is the new official update to Android 4.3, we offer you a little below the links that will allow you to access the download of the two software packages. In the case of Sony Xperia Z, the new firmware weighs 790,39 megabytes and, as you have seen in the image that accompanies these lines, it seems to work perfectly.
Regarding the Xperia ZL and as you can see in the thread created for this purpose in xda-developers, there are already several users who confirm that the new software works perfectly and also, the operation of the device has gained considerably in speed and fluidity. In the same way, the arrival of new functionalities is also praised.
In both cases the recommendation is to do a 'clean' installation, so it will be necessary to do a full wipe before updating our smartphone with this new firmware. By the way, to install it it will be necessary to have Flash Tool on the computer from which we want to carry out the action.

good night, a question, I don't need to be rooted or anything to use the flashtool? I mean ... I can download the FW and with flashtool and I don't need anything else? (I haven't used android for years)
does it work for the C6502?
It's amazing! I have installed it for a few days in the xperia z and it improves a lot, the mobile is lightning, super fluid and practically improves in everything, It does not require root or anything similar for the installation, only the file and flashtools! Sony has made an impressive update this time improving and demonstrating that the zo zl has good hardware
