Jelly Bean developer build for Sony Xperia P leaked

Old phones hardly ever get updated to the latest versions of their operating system, and the onus is often passed on to developers to get the device up to speed. Some industrious developers from the XDA Developers forums have leaked the latest build for Sony’s old Xperia P. The firmware, numbered at 6.2.A.0.399, is a build of Jelly Bean.It was originally intended to be for internal testing purposes only before it got leaked. You can grab the ROM from its thread on XDA. You need to be running on an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM or the official ICS to be able to flash the ROM to your phone. Simply dump it in your phone, boot it into recovery, flash the ROM and you’re good to go. Considering the fact that this is a leaked developer build, however, be advised that the ROM isn’t meant to be a daily driver and you should make backups of your current ROM before trying this one on.As of yet, there’s no word from Sony about an official release of Jelly Bean for the Xperia P, but the presence of this leaked ROM points to the possibility that the update may be released this year itself.
