@ravdo is correct. The final beta build was 570. And later Sony released it as Official FW as it is stable enough..!!

have you ever seen a beta firmware shown in XperiFirm? It's also rolling through PC companion normally. If it was Beta, PC companion would have stated that..!!

Ok, it works with root! :D
I'm not responsable for any damage of your phone. Make a TWRP-backup first.
Here are the steps for install with LB:

First I don't know if it's needed but I've installed busybox from Playstore for the last beta.

1. Download the latest MM for US via Flashtool and XperiFirm or any other .570 ftf for D6503.
2. Download the 3 files from here.
3. Then make a prerooted zip with the ftf and the SU Beta, include all data in the zip (tick all boxes for include) but without any recovery. Here a prerooted zip made with prf creator 0.5. It's US 570.
4. Install the prerooted zip then the byeselinux_flashable.zip and the RICDefeat.zip.
5. Reboot, after that you can install the latest recovery from here.

I didn't wipe any data and I came from the Beta .486

Root and recovery are working perfectly! I will test if there are any bugs.

I didn't test other scenario like UB or install the prerooted zip on Lollipop.

The Bluetooth music bug is gone. :victory:
The WiFi signal is good. I think that SONY made a good job.

    If signal bars are not relevant to the real signal quality, why we need them on the status bar? If the system won't affect the signal the phone gets, why my phone sometimes loses 4G LTE signal with 6.0.1 but never does that with 5.1.1? In both situations, I put my phone at home and it's near the base station. Actually I can see the antennas on the building across the street.

    Signal bars are only relevant to the fact that a phone manufacturer can decide what 4 bars or 3 bars or whatever stands for. The signal strength is measured in dBm and it can be checked in Settings/About phone/Status/SIM status. It is a negative number and thus a higher negative value is worse than a lower one. The maximum (best) value is around -60dBM and at around -110...-112dBm the phone loses signal.

    The manufacturer can decide how many bars are shown at what level. I did a quick check and my phone shows full four bars at -89dBm, which is decent, but IMO not worth the full bars. IMO it should switch to 3 bars at -80dBm, 2 bars at -90, and 1 bar at -100 or so.

    OTOH, the WiFi indicator has gone the other way. It shows less bars now than before (at the same dBm). It switches from 4 bars to 3 bars at -55dBm, from 3 bars to 2 bars at -70dBm, 2 bars to 1 bar at -75dBm.


    Everything in between: It is up to the software to decode the received signal. That I do grant you. If the error correction software etc isn't working correctly, the phone may lose 'signal' earlier than before. There can also be differences in the Tx signal (transmission from the phone). If the cell tower cannot decode your signal, you're dropped.


    EDIT:
    The received signal strength is always the same. If you are, say, in a "-80 area", the signal strength is -80. No matter what the software version is.
