I read about it in the forums a while ago and I believe so, but a few weeks after the newer Xperia phones get the update. (I read that from somewhere, but not sure if it is true.
EDIT:
From another user's forum, I guess the Ion might not get it after all. Shame on AT&T. Here is the original forum.

Yea just ATT said they will not update it but I bet they know we can flash the other ftf's as well. This could be a good thing as maybe Sony will give us a unlock soon. I would think we should see a JB for Ion soon as its starting to roll out to the first ones in line.

Rogers will be last I imagine haha sloowww

[Q] Spoof Xperia S as Xperia Z?

There is an offer for Xperia Z owners that gives them a 25€ voucher for SEN services (this includes PSN, which is what interests me the most). Is there some way to spoof our device to make the app think it's an Xperia Z? I'd really enjoy a free game off PSN.

You must edit build.prop.

I figured as much, but with google, I only find edits to spoof as samsung or nexus. Also, what do I need to edit for the spoof to work, exactly?
Can I get a full guide on how to do this, with all the data needed from the Xperia Z?

Ok, I have the Xperia Z build.prop right here (got it from some rom I grabbed on the XZ forum), which lines do I need to change exactly?

Nevermind, I did it.

Changing the build.prop to pose as another device should work nearly the same on all Android phones, be it Samsung or Sony. So did you get the voucher?

Yes, it worked. I used it on PSN and I'm currently downloading a game. Hopefully it's not illegal. I don't feel too bad about it because I own a ton of sony devices, so I probably deserve it too even though I don't have the XZ.
I'd like if this thread was deleted ASAP if I somehow broke any rule.

As of today the promotion is on hold due to to many people claiming the £20 vouchers, and seeing as I only just spoofed my sxs I just missed out lol. The message from sony does say it will start again and the promotion runs until halfway through June so hopefully I will get a chance to claim the voucher code.

Couldn you tell us how you did it?
Thanks

For anyone not with an Xperia Z, but still have an Android phone you must first be rooted, and download build.prop editor. Back up first, then set the settings to this:
ro.product.device=C6603
ro.product.model=C6603
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=C6603_1272-8629
ro.product.board=MSM8960
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony
ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C6603_1272-8629/C6603:4.1.2/10.1.A.1.350/ofp_rw:user/release-keys
The offer is now working again but Sony have updated the app to block spoofed phones well at least the sxs.

Bell C6506 bootloader question

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways.
I have an Xperia ZL that was purchased from bell. I know it has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked through the official Sony tool, so i'm wondering if it can be unlocked with the flashtool posted elsewhere in the ZL forums?
If so that would be awesome.
If not, I'll be supremely unimpressed with Sony.
Thanks in advance!

Calm down folks. The update is in testing phase if the update got rejected it can take months to release in it.

Yes i think you made a good point here, if the update has gone to vodafone than i think it has gone to check and include some carrier specific changes. So i think the update is near

Well, still good, at least 4.3 update, pitty it's not 4.4 but there will always be custom roms

Well obviously the update Vodafone AU is testing will only go to those with Vodafone AU. However, I do trust this is an indication of other carriers (be it Australian or not, I'm not sure) to be testing the Android 4.3 update as well.
