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.

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..

@airlessproject, Do I have to check any box under MiscTA Exclude (by default SIMLOCK is checked) before flashing ?? I'm not sure what this does..

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.

Rooting 28.0.A.8.266 Single Sim Version
Hi all,
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.

23.4.A.1.264 rolling out, stagefright fixed :)

I have been using US customized firmware without any issue with Hangouts dialer. But after I flashed to Nordic's latest, it stop working with error msg 'phone calling not available temp something...'. So I wonder some countries' firmware might have impact on that...

Update now available here in Austria.
Do u guys think I can simply OTA Update my rooted 256 fw? The Update is only 19.8 mb in size.

Thanks for the Feedback! Figures I lost it anyways (and the Recovery with it) even though I made and flashed a pre-rooted firmware from recovery as always. Whatever happened there. Gonna have to roll back to KK tonight, get Recovery up and running and then finally retry flashing the a newly created pre-rooted FW from my FTF file.
Really quite annoyed at this right now. Could have just OTA`d and the result would have been the same. Hopefully no big Security holes for some time. Not big on wasting several hours, just to get my phone running the way I want it to run.

.264 error power off
after upgraded to .264, my phone was down, cannot power on. any one faced this problem

So I ran the OTA and after it installed, all the apps that I had moved to the SD card were no longer on my homescreens, and I cannot even search for them in the Google Now launcher app. They are still in the app drawer but I have to manually scroll down and find them. I can't just type in their name?? Anyone else have this issue? I am totally stock, no root or anything.

I had something similar. With all apps on the sd card initially being unavailable. After maybe 5 minutes the phone rebooted itself and now all apps appear to have been restored to where they were prior to the update and are once more able to be used

[WARNING] IVY/IVY_DSDS POTENTIAL Encrypted Bootloader in OTA

OKay @MotexT have been looking at the ota package 32.1.A.1.185
I will be quoting heavily from hangout
MotexT
Wow, this is really strange. Looks like new algorithm for OTA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm, clarify ?
MotexT
We all know how it works - we have updater-script which contain the algorithm of flashing files, right? Here, if I really got it, we don't have a classical scenario for that, which seems like new way to flash OTA updates

and that's not an exaggeration either

MotexT
Yeah, I remember ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah there appears to be hashing functions in the kernel commandline as well
tell me this bootloader is encrypted?
MotexT
New one will be - there are certificates for all version and revisions, and looks like it encrypts the new bootloader after flashing
Checked out the files and yes - it will encrypt bootloader with SHA256 keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you post that in a thread please?
MotexT
This file is for the first bootloader version
And it flashes some security into it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
okay so does this really read as encrypted or signed?
This one is encrypted and checks if encryption was successful
It encrypts
Okay yeah let's upgrade that proposed thread to a warning.
i'm going to quote this hangout heavily so can you leave all those screens accessible?
MotexT
Yep, use them. Also highlight the lines where it's written, hope someone will do deeper research of all that stuff. Also I will add boot folder with all that files
Also it's strange at all - looks like this changes will be applied just after OTA - one guy has flashed new TFT an then he installed your kernel and my recovery and for him everything works well
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

So, I have uploaded the whole folder with this files to my Drive. For everyone who flashed the new version via Flashtool, don't flash any OTAs from Sony cause as @moonbutt74 have described in OP, there is some valuable changes. And yeah, they will still popping-up even if you have the newest version on board.

I don't quite understand what this means actually. I installed via flashtool, then kernel also via flashtool, then TWRP and everything seems fine so far. Anything I shouldn't or can't do now? And should others not update or what? What's going on?
Thanks for you work though!

In short, don't flash the ota. The ftf seems fine though with flashtool. and then if i have it right , only flash system .?
For anyone who is intersted in picking up development for this device I am attaching the kernel defconfig extracted from the kernel.elf/sin from the aforementioned firmware release. Linux/arm64 3.10.84

What exactly are the consequences when updating with ota?

Sorry I know that was a little harsh, but the joke was there, I had to go for it. Kudos on having a sense of humor! :good:
I've done some unbelievably stupid things myself! :silly:
The best one/ top of the list was that the first kernel build and resulting boot.img i ever managed to pack right went wrong when
i edited the updater script in the zip package to write to mmcblk0. Instant brick. xD

sorry noobish question, ive purchased my Xperia Z4 E6553 from second hand (used), and its already upgraded to MM fw.163, i did upgrade from flashtool to fw .185 and the chargind time its very slow,
how i can fix that ?

Perhaps you have Find My Xperia ON! You need to turn it off in order to unlock bootloader I had the same problem, give it a try after you disable it, restart the phone and the you go to service menu to see if it allow to unlock the bootloader.

I can't see a specific reply to this question by fayer3.
Can anyone spell out the consequences and rollback options for anyone flashing the OTA?
Is this likely to affect ALL future versions from Sony? In that case we should find ways to turn off OTA updates, to minimize the risk.

Hi xda users,
I am very pleased to present OLD NOUGAT FTFs Google Drive Mirror + Patched Kernels.
I spend lots of time and bandwidth for you, so please hit Thanks :fingers-crossed: button and comment below..
Read First
This in NOT Backup TA Partition or Bootloader Unlock thread.
FTFs on this thread are original STOCK rom files.
If your device BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, you can use Patched Kernel if you want.
If your device BOOTLOADER LOCKED, you can NOT use Patched Kernel.
You do NOT have to USE patched kernel, just flash FTF. Use like a stock ROM.
I build Patched Kernels for ROOT, TWRP, MAGISK users.
:fingers-crossed:
Thread Updated : LATEST
Thread has so many questions and answers, so I will not delete this thread.

Did you try?

Awesome work here! Everything feels smoother and battery life is *thank goodness* better.
Anyway, I noticed I cannot uninstall/remove apps thru uninstaller. What could be the problem?

Suppose I flash E6633 32.3.A.0.378 in my E6683 does it support VoLTE in India? Also does it support fingerprint?

DISCONNECT internet. Updated apps must be uninstalled twice (2 times). Once uninstall update, then original app. Uninstall "sony software update apk" then uninstall others.. You have to ROOT your device first..

Yes, E6633. No official update for E6683 yet E6633 works well. I dont know VoLTE support, sorry :/
You have to try and notify me. If you have LOCKED device Fingerprint might work.

@ sceryavuz some users reported bad battery on nougat, and offered solutions so i asked, if u know about this. Nevermind tried it ot for myself
So i managed to install it with flashtool but i did not get supersu to install binaries, reflashed 4 times, it just did not stick. (no su binaries)
I followed procedure and used files from the link.
So i tried rom for two days without root and it is very very smooth and polished, battery is great, waiting for weekend so i can repeat all once more.
Can i please make request to you if you can build flashable rooted.zip rom it makes life easier for users like me i would apreciate it
Greetings

What is the TWRP output(error) when you try to flash? SuperSU zip file works well for me. If you cant figured out. I can make supersu patched kernel for you!?

I will try couple of times this weekend and atach error outputs.
So you can see what happened.
If this helps, su binaries was installed combined with androplus kernel_v43 but then i had no cell signall. Your kernel works, but no su binaries.
If you made custom kernel for me it would be awesome, but first it is up to me to break some eggs

Hello,

All is fine but my bluetooth drain the battery, it use 41% of the total, which is not normal, i don't have that with the other version, does someone have this bug also ?
Thanks

Thank you, oh, you have no idea howmuch this made my free evening on saturday... now it is all about missing xposed...
As far as supersu, now i know for next time, it makes sense if you repack kernel with supersu then there is no need to push it
Maybe i should mention that busybox pro settled after first reboot, now it shows it is installed.
Still, i need some files in /system, i will se how this goes. :highfive:

I have the stock rom without any modifications. Its a ittle (cosmetic?) bug. My Bluetooth uses more mAh than die battery has

@sceryavuz
Bu sürümün .376 dan farkı nedir?
