questions:
- Should I simply flash this zip from recovery over rooted stock LB 108 and I will get rooted 157?
- Does it retain all previous data and settings?
- could I deodex BEFORE to reboot, after I flash the rom, in the same twrp/cwm "session"? (example: flash 157, flash dedodex, reboot system)
Thanks

1- yes
2- Dont wipe data and you will keep previus data. Restore previus data doesnt work with this versión
3- You can try that way.

Will this work on a Locked Bootloader??... i cant even update my damn phone via pc companion due to no usb 2.0 in my pc haha its saying i cant do it with a usb 3.0 port and so my last resort is to either wait for update via air or flash via FlashTool

Does this work for locked bootloaders?
Also, from which FTF did you create this?

Its just like installing a custom rom yet its not a custom rom just stock with pre root access. if you have rooted before and have twmp or philz touch whiz recovery just install it from the recovery option wiping Dalvik and Cache and then installing this zip then reboot system and you're good to go. shouldn't be hard follow some guides on youtube if you don't know.

what if i have never rooted before?? because ive got a locked bootloader with 100% stock rom and havent flashed any custom stuff... all i did was get the phone from vodafone and then i flashed the uk firmware (same as the one you have minus the root)

Well i downgraded mine back to kitkat then root you could try root from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230

i had to flash 17.1.A.2.55 then run the rootkit from doomlord and then flash your rom via recovery and then voilah xD... lets see how it goes as im just starting the process now
EDIT: installed wrong version haha

Nice work with the Flashable zip.
Apart from the inclusion of the 'clear all recents' button what else is improved upon, or not forgotten, in comparison to the earlier Lollipop updates?
My Z2 is still showing V 23.1.A.0.726 ready for downloading but so far I've resisted this so-called upgrade, its too half-baked. I'm still on KitKat until I get more feedback on this being a better attempt at an upgrade.
What are your impressions so far?

Well since ive been using it daily I found that the battery has been draining fast soon as I take it off charge its down to 98 percent already I have lollipop ? on my moto g doesn't drain this fast. I was getting issues with keyboard on z2. This seems to fix that bug. Haven't noticed any other changes so far just seems to be minor bug fixes.

:laugh: good luck

thx for the zip
So, as I understand
move the zip to my sd card,
flash from recovery( my Z2 is 17.1.1.a.0.402 root with dual recovery) the zip and that is?????
nothing else?
Do I need flashtool or everything else?
i am asking bcause I saw other guides that said at the end to flash with flashtool the ftf fimware:
like step 11 at following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
"Never exclude = never check (x) kernel. It is the main reason we're flashing this."

I've noticed when i was using the stock rom (1000000% uk stock with no extras) i could get around 3/4 days battery life which includes having the bluetooth on all day connected to my helmet and sbh52 and after i installed this im getting half that xD....

So the increased battery consumption is another reason to stay away from this. I get plenty of usage on KitKat, thats with BT and Wifi on nearly all of the time.
From all the negative aspects I've read about Lollipop on the Z2 it seems like its anything but an upgrade.

Not sure if you can do it that way but what i would do is downgrade back to kitkat and root using TowelRoot. Then flash this lollipop pre root using philz recovery.

Thanks for confirming, thought that might be the case.

Thanks, working well for me

Cheers for this works fine apart from every music app gets killed when the screen is off for a few mins. I've turned off stamina, added exceptions to stamina mode etc but nothing has fixed it. Any ideas? Bit of a bugger when driving/ listening to music. Only started since flashing this.
Edit: sorted was Greenify. Must be a bit more efficient with the new os version as nothing was different from before

should I "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or something else?
My phone is running Carbon Rom 5.1.1 kernel 3.4.0 and it get stuck on sony logo when I've tried to flash this trough recovery
I've already restore it via flashboot flash recovery twrp.img restore a previous backup and reflash boot.img but as I'm experiencing camera issues (Couldn't connect to camera) want to try an stock kernel.

Oh no not good you could always go back to kitkat and root again. hope you get it sorted.

I flashed this and got a error message set_perm some changes failed.
I rebooted and it had upgraded to 232 but I lost root and custom recovery .
Not going to bother sorting it as my Z5 Premium is on pre order and should be here in a few weeks .

Flashed it over .200 and worked perfectly. Thanks mate!

Wipe the dalvak cache after you flashed the rom? does your phone have a locked bootloader or unlocked? cause this is for locked bootloaders.

You won't be able to update OTA or even with PC Companion. You will get a error message, all because of the modified System.

Hii, can you please upload the latest prerooted flashable firmware for .264
Thank you

Do you know the changelog or something about this firm version? It is only available on China...
If I upgrade there is there any method to get Root?

Well, I flashed it with Flashtool after customize all the apps already installed prompt me for a lot of permissions of some apps, then after about 10 min of working normally or good, suddenly it restarted and now it restarts just when it try to load apps...
Does you recommend me anything? erase anything?
Thanks
EDIT:
Just solved erasing with all this options marked:
I installed the Brazil vers, it's like something that is in my world instead of chinese vers.
Anyone know how to root this version? E6533 (Dual)

Thanks for diving in guys any word on the change log. Also is how is it with english selected ?

Would the modified kernels of previous fw 251 work on this?

Now the firmware was delivery to arabic market. I guess in this week its Will be avaliable to anothers countries

This firmware is also available for single sim variant (E6553) now.. Customized Singapore, US and Vietnam.. To those running on .266 firmware, are there any noticeable difference compared to .251 firmware ?? Considering on flashing here if there are any..

Just flashed .266 Customized SG and restored apps etc..; no noticeable improvement whatsoever but no regressions either.. this said only from updating and installing apps, entering passwords, one should probably notice something within some days of usage.
Surely won't hurt if you flash it, esp. if you want to keep up to date.

I see.. Thank you for the feedback.. Did you flash using the latest version of Flashtool (0.9.19.8) ?? I read somewhere in Z3+ forum a while ago that some people have trouble flashing firmware on this phone.. It's been a while since I used flashtool (last used when I was using Xperia Z 6-7 months back).. Just want to make sure it's the same process for this phone..

Yes and I also applied the 0.9.19.10 patch.. the process is basically the same, while this new version will ask you if you'd like to use a flash script it has for our phone.. I did use it and it went all well. Also when it starts flashing it will ask you about TA skipping, just hit 'yes'.

Yes but mostly because I hadn't wiped data for a long time.. You could get along well with dirty flash if you have too much to restore.. If you have any problems afterwards, you can always do a factory reset.

Automatically unpack in Xperifirm, then in flashtool go to Tools->Bundles->Create, select the folder where you extracted the fw, add all the files to the right column, enter info about phone, customization, version - create.. Then flash the created ftf it in flash mode (it will show up in Flashtool when you hit 'flash')

Thanks a lot.. I'll surely give it a go when I have some free time.. I just checked xperifirm and it seems like the firmware is rolling out to more regions now.. I wonder if Sony will push an OTA update anytime soon..

One thing that is changed at least for me I have the apn settings download feature again in mobile network settings. Don't know why the last build was missing it anyhow.

I'm from Spain this Update is available in my country by OTA way. I have got an Z3+ Dual Sim version.

Have installed the above update for UK and wondering if anyone could help with rooting it. I have tried using the .251 rooting files but obviously different version so hasn't worked out. Thanks for your attention.
