I did an over the air update so I don't have any usb save. I don't think the marshmallow update is worth any great excitement or anticipation. The interface is a bit quicker and that's the only difference really.

But I am sure the loading screen must be completely different

Hi Guys. I have the the February updated saved my self as I updated it on the first day and it worked perfectly fine on my KD-43X8307 2015 TV.

To be honest their is no point in me putting a link up from my Google Drive just wait a few more days and Sony will upload the newer marshmallow MK3 firmware.

To update it now to February edition and then do it all over agian in s few days time not worth it unless you realy want me to.

For me their was a decent amount of change and preformance agian even with the February edition of the update.

I still have some bugs but generally TV works whole lot better and layout is far better.

It worked for me but you are taking a risk as it seems the February edition of the update seems to be very random on how well it preforms from TV to TV.

Just my 2 cents... I updated my KDL-55W807C with a USB on the day after it's release and have had no problems at all. It felt a little bit snappier, but I also did a factory reset after the update, so that might be the reason.

It has solved the lip sync issue with Chromecast and Youtube, 95% of the times, and that was one of our biggest issues with the TV, so that's great. I don't know if the EPG problems has been solved, because we're now using our TV providers set top box so, but I do hope it's solved because it was not a good experience.

The TV does crash and reboot itself occasionally but not very often.

I upgraded my KD-55X8509C and have had constant issues with crashing and slow performance ever since. HDMI ARC has been even worse than before also.

Hoping an imminent release will solve these as at times the TV is so slow you can barely use it.

Fingers crossed for this imminent release.
