guys i'm using easyroot tool v7 for macbook to root my xperia z2, followed all instructions but when i click install.bat i get a msg says 'There is no application set to open the document “install.bat”., whats wrong have i done, SORRY for dumb question was an iphone user for 7 yrs, thanx
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
You can't execute .bat on a Mac without terminal

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Yes! for the Mac(version 10 or higher), you’ll need to make sure that you edit your batch file’s permissions so it is executable. ;)

So for example, if your batch file is named batch file, one way to change its permissions is to right-click on it, click on “Show Info”, and then change the permissions under “Permissions” to show 755. What 755 does is to give permissions of 7 to you, 5 to your user group, and 5 to everyone else. With a permission of 7, you can write to the file and execute it. With a permission of 5, you can execute the file but not write to it.

Another way is for you to change permissions of the file is to go into Terminal, and enter this command that changes its permissions. You’ll need to be in the directory that batch-script is in for the following command to work (or you’ll need to specify its full path) chmod 755 batchscript Now to run your batch file, you just need to either specify the full path to the batch file, or if you are already in the directory where it is located, you can type: ./batchscript Note that you have to put the “./” in front of your file name, in order to tell Terminal to look for the file in the current directory.

And with that, you’ll have a working batch file in Mac OSX!: :o

[Xperia Z2 General] pdash79:
Any updates on .438 release for D6502 ye or will it even be released?

I just noticed .438 update for D6503. I do not think it can be applied on D6502, may result in a brick?

Any advice?

Thanks,

[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
4.4.4 coming next week confirmed by a dev cheers !!
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
It will be released or just a certification?
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
Will be released. Certification happened long back
[Xperia Z2 General] pdash79:
Thanks for the great news.

Cheers!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
Lol, no false. That was an unreleased 4.4.2 update.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
I have read that from auras76, he said his new rom is based on 438 and new app from 4.4.4.

I think Sony devs are busy of making 4.4.4 for Z1, Z1c and Z1 Ultra. They left us for a while. D6502 in my region has not received 402.
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
Yeah Z2 would be at last I recon :(

.402 is out almost everywhere

this version is certifiyed and hope will be relase in 2 days
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Is there any proof for this?
[Xperia Z2 General] karrouma:
coming update

today i got UPDATES when connected to PC via USB. No notification on phone. Already on latest firmware as of page 1. Checked for update on phone also said latest software. Can you guys have it too ? Now downloading update. PC Companion said "a phone/tablet update is available" i am on 17.1.1.A.402
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Screenshots please.
[Xperia Z2 General] mishooo:
Ok kind of a noob question but new to sony.

If i flash one of these without unlocking my bootloader will that void the DRM ?

And the other one is there some kind of a changelog somewhere ?
[Xperia Z2 General] twistedddx:
The most important thing anyone wants to know when a new update is found is what customization number, this allows people to know exactly what region/carrier has this update on offer. Once the customization number is known we will all be able to get that update and post it for all!

Please post you customization number which can be got be dialing:

*#*#service#*#* aka *#*#7378423#*#*

Customization number: 1281-5460

[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Official changlog you can find in Sony Mobile website.

You don't have to UB to flash a FTF. It like you update through PC Companion or Sony Update Service.
[Xperia Z2 General] mishooo:
Yes but the problem is mine is branded and i want to use the unbranded software ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
This is a tutorial how to debrand you handset.

You can flash any unbranded FTF (D6503) at first page.
[Xperia Z2 General] mishooo:
Yeah did that allready - i was just worried about the TA but aftrall decided who cares :P
[Xperia Z2 General] norti:
Debranding doesn't change your TA partition, only unlocking the bootloader. You can flash back the original firmware with working flashmode any time you want and it will revert to factory state (if you have it... or you can change back the customization number in build.prop - for this you'll need at least a temporary root - and SUS will repair/reinstall the firmware associated with the customization number).
[Xperia Z2 General] hitsukun:
I have a doubt. when we create our own .ftf files, the tutorial is to remove the .ta files

some .ftf files from this topic have the .TA files included and others don't.

which one is the right to flash? with .ta files included or not?

or isn't it a problem at all?

[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I dont think 4.4.4 is coming to XZ2 anyways, it would generaly be a waste of time

Note- does anyone happen to have a Global Generic LTE 438 firmware, preferably Euro
[Xperia Z2 General] SovietKitsch:
The Singapore 438 firmware helped my phone a lot. I noticed it was a lot snappier than the stock Taiwan firmware that came with the phone, and oddly enough copy and paste seems to work a lot better as well. Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
I think we'll get one more update before 5.0.

It would be too long to wait autumn for L.

We didn't get 4.4.4 because they ate working on camera...

Also, I'm pretty sure Sony already found and fixed camera problem ... They would never admit there was a camera problem if they haven't already fixed it...

We could get update very, very soon :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
I gots a question, my apologies if this has been covered, I couldn't find anything on Google about it.

Having an unbranded device, will there be any ill effects from flashing the branded singapore firmware? Sim lock, unwanted bloat, or connection issues?

I'm on the Z2 D6503 Canadian Unbranded. Still stuck at .55

I know how to FTF and all that, just not sure if flashing a branded FTF will cause issues for me.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Or you may try unbranded 402 FTF.

Bloatware will always in the FTF, it depends on every region. You can remove it if you want.

I saw many D6503 owners have flashed 438 and everything is fine.
[Xperia Z2 General] pena_leve:
Hi all.

I'm newbie on android, so go easy.

I've a Z2, carrier unlock. Is rooted using geot's app.

Firm is on the 55.

I've read all the 24 pages of the thread.

And i need to know how to identify the customization number.

Mine is: 1279-0989_R3A

What does this means?!

I want to flash the newest firm (you guys think 402 or diret to 438??)

I'm in Portugal. So Euro zone.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Each region has each customization number. You live in Portugal so maybe 1279-0989_R3A will represent for Portugal.

I can try flashing any unbranded d6503 ftf.
[Xperia Z2 General] pena_leve:
Thanks. But nevertheless someone can explain me how to really know what my number stands for?

And for now, wich version should i pick? How do i chosse?

Thanks for any reply oi this.

[Xperia Z2 General] hendriksan:
Previously I have flashed .402, and then I flashed to Singapore .438 and I can see changes on the phone, some bloatware which can be uninstalled, and screen colour become more white, but and then I flashed back to .402.

Last night, I tried to flash .438 again but this time I don't see the bloatware which I already removed last time, and the screen colour remain same, doesn't look any more white.

Does anyone know the reason for this?

It seems there is no change happen with .438 for second time flash.
[Xperia Z2 General] cYbOrG5:
it would be great if these 1Gig + ftf files can be downloaded in torrent or multiple files. its really challenging downloading such big file in places like mine where the connection is very poor.
[Xperia Z2 General] jerdog:
That Torrent link is actually "D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_Euro%20Lte-unbranded-1281-4640.ftf.torrent" not the .69 firmware
[Xperia Z2 General] s4kel:
I got this phone from Hong Kong so, it has 17.1.1.A.0.402, 1281-5473. I am using it in Canada and reception is so bad that I always get red x. Any chance on flashing to another ftf will improve the reception? If so which version should I use? Much thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
Is there any way to flash Stock Firmware 402 in CWM or TWRP ?
[Xperia Z2 General] norti:
No, although stock kernels could be written in the past to the appropriate partition via update.zips, I don't know if this still works for KitKat fw :confused:

Yes, the direct torrent link is for the .402 firmware but the magnet link is correct btw ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] s4kel:

Not sure what's the difference between my version and the one found in first thread.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Build number is your Firmware version

Customization number is what apps and differences your version has from the global generic
[Xperia Z2 General] mariotme:
Much appreciated buddy! Thank you.

[Xperia Z2 General] norti:
Just exclude them and you're safe (they don't do any harm if you erase your data too, just some customization or partition reset). Simlock.ta is always ignored in flashtool if you have an unlocked phone, but you can exclude this too, if you fear that your phone will be locked to that operator's fw ;)

[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
I sure hope that's true. I Emailed Sony Canada two times with 2 different accounts asking why Canadian Z2 is a couple updates behind the rest of the world. They gave me the same blah blah excuse, updates are different per region and cannot say when an update will arrive.

So I got my fingers crossed. I really don't want to de-virginize my Sony Z2, as I bought the 2 year Sony Care warranty and I'm not sure if flashing a stock FTF would void this warranty.

This may be a bit off topic here but my friend recently bought a Z2 in the UK and set it up with me a few days ago. When she was going through the setup guide, she got an option to use tap to pay services which I didn't get when setting up my phone. Is this something that has been included in a more recent update? The phone initially came with .55 firmware but I did a software upgrade to .402 then turned it off without bothering to do the setup.

Restoring Z2

Hi,

I flashed another rom and i want to go back to stock.

But heres the problem. i didnt backup any rominfo :o

I'm from the netherlands and got the phone with a Vodafone sunscription.

I tried downloding the original stuff named D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_CE.ftf and flashed it with nothing excluded.

But when i connect my phone and start Sony Update Service (SUS) it says i'm using customized software and it's not supported.

When i installed a new rom i unlocked the bootloader, installed doomlords kernel, rooted, and installed cwm.

After flashing D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_CE.ftf i think everything restored to normal exept the unlocked bootloader ofc.

Phone now has this after flashing:

D6503

4.4.2

kernel: 3.4.9-perf-gb772cca

BNumber: 17-1-1-A.0.402

I wonder if i installed the wrong software or that i need to lock the bootloader again to use SUS. Or something else?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
