Late March / early April for arc S, neo V, ray.
Late April / early May for arc, PLAY, neo, mini, mini pro, pro, active, Live with Walkman.
With our unlocked bootloader, I'm sure someone will make a CWM package for arc out of the arc S update.
On-topic: I'm definitely going to try bringing arconium to this version once I can grab the .ftf files.

Can u please link to firmware.
my phone doesn't show any available update

It's not out yet. It's only certified yesterday, so probably will take few weeks before this firmware appears in the SEUS or PC Companion.

its for both device

Just downloaded it from SE PC Companion , first view....i think it left more free memory than usual, it lefts about 220-230MB free after clean installation ,usually on previous versions 180-200 MB free, i think it has less bloatware, will see it better later to find what has changed

Upload it mate ..

Is it really out?
My phone doesn't show any updates...

1254-2250_r5d

If it si out on the market the .69 firmware and certified for Arc and Arc S(see wotan), where to download for Arc or how to update OTA? It is a must to have a 62 generic Germany and after update OTA? It is a good ideea?
maybe .69 can be rooted normally.
Thankx.

It seems that the Light Sensor (if that was every working as supposed to!) is no longer auto-updating the screen brightness:
In the previous fw when clicking the low/auto brightness widget icon it resulted in either lowest value or an automatically determined one (based on environmental light?).
Now it only goes from lowest to the value set in the Display->Brightness->Slider Value Setting....
Anyone else facing this?

Nordic Combined firmware is firmware made for Sweden/Denmark/Norway. It works fine on all C6903 devices and is the cleanest customization there is. No branding, no bloatware.

Just different names, I think Customized NCB might be the correct name for the Z1, but whatever, all it means is that this is the ROM that people in the Nordics (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland) get on their phones if they buy them from a non-carrier source. It is unbranded and contains no bloat.

has anyone tried that after this update, unlocking bootloader will crash camera?

Yes and yes, no bloat from carriers, contains all Sony software, can be flashed on literally any C6903, just like I said in OP.
It might potentially not contain APNs for your carrier, as it only guarantees correct settings for the nordics, but your carrier should push those out to your phone automatically if not, and you can always enter them yourself.

Ohhh yeahhhh. I have flashed this on a german z1 with flashtool. I have an unlocked bootloader with broken camera.

Website for Japanese Xperia's FTF

I created a Website to gather FTF for Japanese version Xperia since Japanese models generally doesn't have xda thread or other websites to share FTF.
http://ftf.xn--l8je9byecb9a3syb.xn--q9jyb4c/
At the moment there are only few models and versions since I couldn't find others...
If someone has FTF not listed on the Website, please post here.
I'll add it on the Website.
Devices on the Website (7/31):
Xperia acro IS11S
Xperia SX SO-05D
Xperia VL SOL21
Xperia Z SO-02E
Xperia UL SOL22
Xperia Tablet Z SO-03E
Xperia A SO-04E
Xperia Z1 SO-01F
Xperia Z1 SOL23
Xperia Z Ultra SOL24
Xperia Z1 f SO-02F
Xperia Z2 SO-03F
Xperia A2 SO-04F
Xperia ZL2 SOL25

thank you so much ! this is helpful site

Incredibly appreciated! Hopefully some of the international exploits will be found to be effective on these firmwares as well. Following the 2ch threads on root, and it seems like the biggest breakthrough has still been the restoration of DRM functions after unlock, but no actual root with a locked bootloader yet.
If we could just get that TA partition backup we'd be in the clear to flash...

That's a very neat site! 　ありがとう！

thank you so much ! for sol25 zl2

If you want the system apps you can flash only the system portion of the ftf file. If you want the kernel, you'll brick your phone.

I know it's not the thing you want to hear, but consider installing latest MM .185 Customized IT downloading with Xperifirm and installing with Flashtool.
Also consider that, if you like custom kernels, TWRP,... the developer community has already moved to MM.

You should really REALLY update to MM. It's day/life change in terms of UI smoothness. Wether Sony's work or Google's one, it's definetly a worth upgrade from my experience.
Apart from that, you can find all the main MM bugs in a thread here or in the Z5 forums and on sonymobile forums.
