I have downloaded and created a pre-rooted firmware flashable over XZDualRecovery for the firmware version (23.4.A.1.200). The firmware is based on the UK region and contains the SuperSU (v2.46) and XZDualRecovery (v2.8.21) along with BetterBatteryStats apk.
I have tested this firmware with my Xperia Z3TC (German model) and works fine. Few things I have observed,
On installing this firmware, I saw a freeing of more than 500 MB from my internal storage.
On the first boot it updated the NFC firmware
There were two unnecessary apps installed - Kobo books and NeoReader, but those can easily be uninstalled.
Battery life remains the same as I saw in the .546 and .570 release. It is fine for me.
Download: https://copy.com/bf6N0w2CFr63lfl2
I also have a 23.4.A.1.232_R1C firmware based on the Benelux region in the shared folder. However, I am yet to test it out. I have created this flashable zip in the same way as the .200 release, so it should be fine. Please proceed with caution.
Note: Your warranty maybe void after flashing this firmware. I am not responsible for any possible damages to your device on installing this firmware.
Thanks and credits to the authors of following applications, which made the whole process extremely easy

It´s working very well on my SGP611CE/W AE1.
Thank you for your good job.
Yes, I flashed it day before yesterday and in my opinion it is working beteer than the .200_R4C release. Some of the stage fright critical vulnerabilities are fixed, but not all.

If you rooted stock rom with XZDual recovery, then you won't lose DRM keys. You will lose DRM keys only when you unlock bootloader.

I have it 100% stock with the lastest firmware 5.1.1, if i follow these instructions for install that recovery
Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
download XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com
Windows:
unpack at C: or somewhere you will remember!
navigate to the resulting directory and look for install.bat, double click it to run;
Linux:
unpack in your home folder with 'unzip XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.installer.zip'
navigate to the resulting directory and 'chmod +x install.sh', then execute it, follow instructions.
Your phone WILL reboot when installation has completed and it will go into the default recovery for the first boot.
Reboot to system from recovery to allow the installer to clean up after installation (it is safe to skip this step).
Enjoy DUAL RECOVERY!

Hi
Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.0.1.A.4.30 which this time is customized UK, latest stable SuperSu v2.37 and latest beta Dualrecovery .154 for Tablet Z2 with read/write acces to system.
This is tested and works just fine though make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file with custom recovery. Wipes aren´t necessary but good practise.

Just want to say thanks. I'm going to flash this tomorrow . Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Is the the lollipop update or just a smaller one? If so what is changed?
Did a bit of research. Looks like it fixed smart cover bug and removes the non functional ultra stamina mode

Thanks guys for your kind word. This is still KitKat update. Haven´t seen chancelog but atleast Sony´s own cover works again as supposed and touchscreen seems to be more responsive.
Just wanted to add that I had to manually install the dual recovery. Installed fine but thought I'd mention it.

You need working custom recovery (TWRP) to flash this. So answer to your question is no.

So you have working custom recovery? What exactly do you mean that you lost your root? Partial root or something else? If you have working custom recovery why not just flash latest SuperSu from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/636/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip
And then about encrytpion keys. Do you mean that you have encrypted your device or perhaps DRM keys? Flashing prerooted firmware have no effects to your device DRM keys if you mean that.

I had root and lost it in the ota... superuser says such not installed... I just went in and tried recovery and it did not come up, so I am assuming it flashed me back to stock in more ways then one... I am now looking at your zip to get root back if I can get dual recovery back on the tablet.

You are welcome.
You need Flashtool and correctly installed drivers for it and rootable firmware in ftf format. If I remember correctly latest was 17.1.2.A.0.314. If you want to I believe you can use this one: https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 It is for SGP511 but memory size is only difference between devices. Or you can find one from general forum.

I want to have a stock rooted feel.
Download ftf from sony for stock through sony pc companion(save this in case...)
Run prf creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904) and add root and recovery
use flashtool to put on Nordic with root and custom recovery
use the recovery from nordic to flash the rooted stock firmware.
I should be golden then right?
Last questions though. Do I need to be unlocked to do this and will my DRM keys stay good?

Thank you. Short answer is that as long you have root access you can install prerooted firmwares so basically same way you do with this prerooted firmware. Credits how to make prerooted firmwares are in op. Some point there is no method to root newer firmwares without unlocking your bootloader so I did that too but because backed up TA partition I´m back with rooted device and locked bootloader.

No you do NOT have to unlock your bootloader (because it is not a custom ROM) but you can only flash it if you already have an open recovery (TWRP, Philz Touch Recovery etc.)

Yes I'm already rooted on 4.4.2 and I've TWRP recovery.
Should I flash it directly using recovery? I don't have a SD card. Can I put it on Internal memory or external USB flash memory and install it?
I'm sorry I'm kinda a beginner. I know a lot about iOS but I'm new to Android.
Would this work for any Z2 in all regions? I brought my Z2 from expansys and apparently mine is based in Germany by Vodafone.
I have a TWRP backup if something goes wrong but I like to know if there will be any other complications that my 4.4.4 stock backup can't fix. Thanks in advance.

You just have to ensure that your phone is D6503, not D6502.
And as far as I know, recovery isn't working on Lollipop yet. So once you flash this, you won't be able to easily restore your KitKat backup, unless you downgrade to KitKat ROM and go through the process of rooting and installing recovery.
would you be so kind to detail what you did in order to achieve dual recovery? did you use prf creator?
I think it only shows that the NDR Utils app works, but you can't enter or reboot into the actual Recovery yet.

Fyi if you want to get back to 4.4 and you have an unlocked bootloader all you need to do is flash the 4.4 boot.img (with recovery), boot into recovery and restore your backup.
Obviously the phone will bootloop if you try and boot it.
Has anyone else tried using Link2SD with this firmware (I'm talking about the application not the built-in feature in the OS) and encountered the following error: "Mount script error Mount script cannot be created. mount: Operation not permitted". I've recreated the second partition of the SD card and have made sure that Link2SD has the appropriate rights in the SuperSU. The issue still persists. Had no similar problems with Link2SD in KitKat.

I have released a small 2.6MB patch based on the latest 23.4.A.0.580 Stock ROM for rooted users that are already on the v5.1.1 stock 23.4.A.0.546 Sony ROM and wish to fix this Stagefright Vulnerability.
(Non-Rooted users have no other choice than to update their ROM again)

Hi,
My Z3C is on Android 5.0.2 now (23.1.A.1.28) with locked bootloader, root (superSU) and dualrecovery. Can i just flash this zip in the recovery mode and get rooted 23.4.A.0.580? Will i lose my personal data?
I'd also like to know if there are any locks or apps because of the Vodafone brand.
Sorry if my questions are silly, i am a newbie, just want to update my phone without breaking anything.

it's an FTF correct? if so.. according to this and most users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706
you can't just flash it on recovery if you're on a different version.. in this case.. that poster is on 5.0.2.

i did read the stickies.. where do you think that link i posted came from.. also from the posts in those stickies.. people have said to use flashtool since flashing via recovery will not completely install everything like kernels. again.. i may be wrong, but that's what i've always read.. from those same stickies.

Hi, how to flash this with flashtool. Im actually flashed .216 after a unsuccessful root dry but with the .216 what i have flashed with flashtool; i got a real hot camera so i decided to flash this rom. How to do with flashtool ? any advice please what to exclude in flashtool. got no root and no open bootloader. thank you.
Does anyone know if this is the official update that adds recovery partition support? If anyone is on stock kernel, could you verify whether fastboot flashing a recovery and booting it with POW+Vol Down button boots into recovery?

If you don't wipe your data in recovery or flashtool than you won't loose anything.

I am running 5.0.2.
I tried in the past to flash, through recovery, the last firmware that was released before this. I downloaded a zip from one of the threads, and installed it through recovery, but after rebooting, I was still on 5.0.2.
If I download this and flash it in recovery, should it update my phone to this firmware. Or would it be better to flash through the flashtool? (to not delete the data, not to check the data in the wipe window?)
Thanks

Would the stock OTA update cause any issues for UK 3 Branded phones?
The official update for us is going to be a while I think.
TIA ?
Would warranty still be intact as well?
Thank you and me

You should try it.I don't think it will affect your warranty because it is an official ota zip.This zip only checks if your phone is marshmallow or not, if it is mm, then it should flash properly.

I had to use SuperSU 2.79 to get proper (systemless) root, maybe this helps anyone. 2.78 got me rooted but my SIM didn't work with it.

The update is probably detecting the 3 version as a different rom so it wont install . If you flash to S048 row rom , let it update to S062 then you should receive the OTA update to nougat
wzedlare could you change your post to tell people to rename the stock rom from - P2a42_S062_170117_ROW_TO_P2a42_S232_170320_ROW_WC00AFB1F4.zip to UPDATE.zip
It will save lots of people saying it wont flash

If you flash any of the stock ROMs, will it affect a bootloader unlock timer that is in progress with Lenovo? Will it get reset or fail to activate in some way?

When you apply to unlock the bootloader the phone contacts Lenovo over the internet , so the countdown timer runs from their end . so your safe to reset , upgrade etc
