Simply install the FTF package through Xperia Flashtool like any other firmware. Install the latest version of Flashtool and don’t apply the FSC script when you’re prompted by the utility.
Up till now all Marshmallow’s features, UI elements and stock apps seem to be working smoothly. The only drawback is that Sony hasn’t included some features like double tap to wake, STAMINA mode and quick unlock in this build.
