exactly the way you will flash the generic one
[Xperia Z2 General] wyatt86:
hey guys, i bought my xperia 3 weeks ago in italy. I'm still stucked at .55 version and my Customization Version is 1282-0825. Can someone tell me anything about it? Am i italy no branded / euro no branded or what? Ty all .
[Xperia Z2 General] sarobi:
You bought it in Italy but is your device meant for IT region? You can check on the box, it must be written DE, FR, IT on the box label.

New firmware (17.1.1.A.0.438) certified for Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet

// Xperia Blog

Sony Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet owners can look forward to a new update as firmware build number 17.1.1.A.0.438 has just been certified by the PTCRB. This would update the firmware from the current build of 17.1.1.A.0.402.* We’ll keep you posted when it starts to roll.
[Xperia Z2 General] Parrot of Doom:
Your charger is not powerful enough. Use the official Sony unit.
[Xperia Z2 General] paddylaz:
Is the ISO camera bug still there?

I.e. changing the ISO not showing any difference on screen no matter how high/low you put it.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
It is the official sony psu I'm using, the plug that came in the box.

I've narrowed the problem down but it's seems to be a compound issue nevertheless, I had problems with the official .402 rom anyway so I reflashed, not only that but it seems one of my usb cables is on it's way out so I've replaced that and also occasionally getting a random system app keeping the phone awake increasing power usage.
[Xperia Z2 General] wyatt86:
IT,EN on the box
[Xperia Z2 General] sarobi:
[MENTION=5260303]wyatt86[/MENTION], I believe update will come soon ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] ManicStreetPreacher:
Belgium Mobistar got it

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that I've got the update strangely, after talking 4 times to Sony customer care. It might be just a coincidence, but it was ok anyways.
[Xperia Z2 General] bryanhayn:
How do you rub the heat off with your hands? Doesn't rubbing something create friction and therefore more heat?
[Xperia Z2 General] whiteblazer01:
I more hard wipe than friction-rub. Don't know if it helps, but when I'm not close to a sink or refrigerator, that's what I do.
[Xperia Z2 General] SavCom:
I get the same thing happening when I plug in the usb on my PC. To get round it I used the magnetic charger port at the same time.

Update PL just came.

Edit:

Updated. No problems so far.

However the Tasks bug PERSISTS.

Now I can create task but it's not added to the calendar.

And they are NOT synced.
[Xperia Z2 General] SavCom:
Has anyone noticed poor battery life after updating to 402? My first couple of days were dire even with Stamina mode on. I seem to have fixed it by turning the stamina mode off and on again and re-starting. Certainly my phone has a much better response since doing this.

[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
I just received 402 update and I created ftf.

As soon as I finish uploading I'll share it.

It's t-mobile fw for Croatia.

I found out (I tried all 402 fw on XDA) that 4g wasn't working if I'm using anything except my carrier fw.

So...if anyone needs fw (BiH, Serbia, Croatia) It'll be up soon...

I'll upload 55 as well if someone need it.

BTW - rooting directly 402 is working without any problems...
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
So far my batt life is great, as on .55.

But I always keep my Stamina off.
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
I have noticed more battery drain on .402 than .55 firmwares, they also seem to have changed how stamina mode works, on .55 I just used the quick tile to turn it on to bypass the configure window but they have changed that n .402 Now tapping the quick tile just opens stamina mode page & won't stay on unless you tick extended standy or extended usage options.

On .55 I was getting 2-2 & half days usage but on .402 I'm lucky to get about a day & half.
[Xperia Z2 General] SavCom:
I was lucky to get a day and a night. It's improved now, but still not as good as on .55.
[Xperia Z2 General] stu_tls:
Yup I have noticed more battery drain on mine since I flashed 402 I used to get 3 days on normal usage but only getting 2 now! And I have used it less than usual today

do you say that you could uninstall facebook after the update?

...that you didn't loose the AR effects and had to reinstall them from market?

... that you do not have the heat shut-downs with the camera?
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
Facebook can be uninstalled.

AREffect is not lost.

Overheating - I don't know, I don't record crazy long videos but so far it's great.

Been a few days now but it seems power to me is better managed after a reboot and deteriorates over time - almost as if there is a rogue process that sits there drawing more power the longer it runs.

"user interface is very smooth

themes have the additon to change the colour of the specific theme camera is faster phone feels very fast and smooth in general still uses one speaker when recieving calls and during speaker pnoe but sounds a tad clearer"

rough observations;

1.screen more responsive

3.audio recording APPEARS to record bass notes better(need a second opinion for this). It used to go all $@(@*! with the lower notes, now they seem to be represented more accurately.

[Xperia Z2 General] belloni:
You from the UK?
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalaggi:
Yes. I was tired of waiting for a UK release so I flashed the Generic German. So far so good. I managed to do a 13 minute recording of a 4K video compared to 4 minutes with the UK .55 firmware.

The only thing that's annoying is that it says LTE instead of 4G but I can live with that if it can't be changed.

Ringtones are also louder with this .402 firmware

My phone is 14W16 by the way.

[Xperia Z2 General] raudidroid:
Why is everybody so obsessive about getting the latest firmware?

Normally I'm very reluctant to updating to the newest version on my mobiles (too many times google maps was worse after the update, for example).

But hey it's a brand new phone, I thought, and maybe they are ironing out some errors they had because it had to ship no matter what.

So when Ig got the update (Switzerland, 4 days ago) I updated.

And I even updated the Sony Apps (luckily not File Commander, which seems to have gone pay-for-annual-subscription - do you see why I'm reluctant to updating)

The things I noticed so far:

camera lost AR effects and to get them back you have to download them, but once downloaded they take ages (well ~1 second) to start

videos with AR will somtimes display the heat warning after as little as 15s whilst before the update I never saw the warning at all(Phone in a case)

contrary to what I read Facebook can not be un-installed

more than 50% of my calls were ended/lost since the update (proximity sensor is not working correctly anymore)*

several people complained that I sound like I am in a box*

loading with the dock takes ages (>5h)*

* I can not 100% say that this is due to the update, because I had just a few calls before the update and got the dock just the day before the update

yes there are also positive things to say:

"Tap to wake up" seems to work a tad better

battery usage is same as before (a bit hard to say, because I only had the phone only 4 days before the update)

Is it faster? Well I don't know, it certainly is and was faster than my Xperia S :D

All in all: Would I update if I hadn't? - Absolutely

NO

Is there a way back?
[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
For people interested in this: 4G icon is on .402 TW firmware and LTE icon on .402 German
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
The proximity sensor no longer appears to work when I'm on a call. As such I can't hang up without using the power button, or with the caller hanging up themselves.

That's the only real issue I've found so far, but I'm sure there will be many new surprises. I'd certainly advise people who have only had .402 for a day or two to hold off posting 'It's great. No problems at all' for a bit longer.

I'm in the UK, on a Vodafone Z2. I received the update yesterday. It took about 10 minutes to upgrade itself.

So far, the only improvement I've noticed is a lack of stuttering when scrolling the drawer (I use Apex). But admittedly, I haven't use the phone much lately.

I guess Sony are updating in batches, so hang tight - you'll receive a notification soon enough.

You could always flash back the .69 or .55 FTF if a potential root exploit really would require one of those versions.

[Xperia Z2 General] in_finity:
As far as I know, you simply use Flashtool for that. There are many tutorials available on how to do this -- best thing is: As long as you flash official Sony FTFs (branded or unbranded doesn't matter), you don't even need to unlock your bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 General] stu_tls:
for all those that are on 3 UK...me included

I wouldn't hold your breath for the update anytime soon if the past is to go by!!

when I had my one X they took over 3 months after release date to offer the update to us with all their faffing about added to it!!

I really hope they have booked up their ideas and release it a lot quicker than the one X updates

also you need to be bugging them on facebook for the update too you seem to get a better response there from someone who knows a little more then the phone shops
