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.

Those who got update notification,
Take a backup of all important data like contacts, call logs, SMSs, apps, APN and other settings before proceeding further. You may have to perform a clean install of your OS. While for all practical purposes, using Flashtool is safe but there is a very very remote chance of damaging your phone and don’t blame me should it happen.
For flashtool-Link
1. Install Sony PC Companion and/or SEUS. This will copy the necessary drivers to your PC. Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled and allow your PC to install the necessary drivers.
2. Connect your phone and update or repair your phone with the latest firmware version (right now 14.1.G.1.534). If you update/upgrade, your data will be preserved. If you repair, all data may be lost. So backup everything. Now, your phone is updated with the latest firmware. Keep it aside. We don’t need your phone anymore to create the ftf file.
3. Go toC:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and look for the biggest three files. The folder “blob_fs” may be located in a different place depending on whether you used PC Companion or SEUS. Perform a search for that folder if you can’t find it. Once you are inside the folder, sort by size and see the 3 largest files were just created (when you updated/repaired your phone). Copy them to somewhere else like D:\firmware.
4. Install Flashtool and open it.
5. Click Advanced > Decrypt Files.
6. Select all the three files and click the right arrow to send them to the right side and click OK. In a moment, you will see a Flashtool pop up window that shows all the decrypted files. Select all and click the right arrow button.
7. Type in the device name next to Device, firmware version number next to Version, and branding next to Branding and click OK.
8. In the Device Selection window that appears, select xperia Z1 and click OK.
9. In a moment, your ftf file will be there in the default Flashtool folder C:\Flashtool\Firmwares
10. Upload it and post the link so that everyone can use it..

Correct, I have downloaded the supposed new version using Sony PC Companion, but is the old one, not 108.
Ok, i tested 108, from thread starter,and is really nice update overall.
Nice score in antutu, apps opening noticeably quicker,1-2 new apps for camera, wifi delay no longer exists.
Totally recommend to flash this.

Make sure you are on .108 FW before flashing this
Also, you mean FTF not TFT
It stands for (F)lash(T)ool (F)ile
Silly question perhaps, but I'm still relatively new to the Android world and FTF flashing - I current have EURO-LTE_14.3.A.0.757 stock unbranded Central Europe on my Xperia Z1 C6903 (flashed back in April). Customization per secret menu shows R2C (1276-0875-R2C).
I see there are some ftfs up here for R1C and R3C but none for R2C - all Central Europe, so what is the difference between zone 1, 2 and 3?
Can I flash R1C to my phone, or do I have to wait for the rollout to reach me for the latest version? PCC is showing that I'm up to date, and I'm a bit scared to flash at the moment as PCC is acting up and refusing to create a backup of my phone...?? I don't muck about without a backup, ever.
I'm not rooted, bootloaded not unlocked (I'm still in warranty so won't be doing any of that until after my warranty expires) but I have flashed an unbranded stock rom to replace my branded rom (my service provider is a good 2-3 months behind with updates, very frustrating, nevermind the bloatware!)
Central europe 1 (1276-4318) is factory installed on devices for PL, CS and SK

Is there any benefit of returning to your original model? I have a D6653 and been using the D6603 lollipop firmmwares since they came out....

I would say that if you have no issues with the version you're using right now, it shouldn't be much different if you switch. In fact, if you're happy with the way things are currently, you should be more worried about accidentally breaking something (if it's not broken, don't fix it and all that)). Then again, you can always flash back to your back-up if things go awry.
Anyway, I dirty flashed this over my previous installation and it looks like everything's as it should be, except for the screen off animation. Or is there really not supposed to be one? I was using Gravity Box for CRT off before but it seems like it had fade before that. Now my screen just... winks out.

That's good then. I was worried something that it was a very minor nit in an otherwise perfect flash.
I'll just have to wait until we have Xposed/Gravity Box again for CRT Off/Fade (and quick unlocK).
Hi mates, Currently my version is 23.0.1.A.5.77 (D6653) and under 4.4.4 newly owned z3 2 days ago, just want to ask if safe to root? I have read about the DRM keys issue. If rooted, warranty will be voided?

Hi
An hour ago I flashed the downloaded Customized PH. 726 from XperiFirm. My fault actually that I just visited XDA and checked out your post after I updated my Z3 D6653. How will I be able to install a recovery on this? I know the works and all but what I'm not certain is, is there a way to install recovery and root the device by not downgrading the OS? Because seriously that's a lot of work starting from downloading everything and flashing files afterwards. I'll wait for your response sir. Thanks and God Bless.

The thing is, there is no exploit yet to get root directly on lollipop. The only working exploit for root is by using giefroot, and sad to say, you need to downgrade your firmware for that.
That's so sad. I actually planned to root my Z3 yesterday while still on KitKat but suddenly Lollipop arrived at XperiFirm and I being excited to see what this version offers just jumped on the idea of updating mY device. Is there a link you can direct me to so I could root this thing? Seriously, finding some ways on Google is wearing me down these days.

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.

Thanks for the info.
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.

TWRP did the trick. Rocking a dual recovery, rooted fresh install of .264 now.

Thnx, added it.
.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
