This is my first Sony Xperia phone ever. I got it from my Vodafone Upgrade, but i noticed that it says ''Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No.'' So even if i do root it can i install CM and what not? Or must it be unlocked if so i will sell this handset and buy another one with an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 General] sharingspider:
U can't install custom ROM's unless it allows u to be flashed on locked bootloaders which are hardly any. Also if u want to unlock the boot loader we can do of this very handset as well mate ;) - No need to return it

I tried this method but don't work. In the install.batch window I read "error patching tr.apk. MD5 does not match". Then in folder file I didn't find tr.apk file.

Update

Try to download tr1.apk and rename it to tr.apk. Just type in towelroot's address and add /tr1.apk in the end. Also try different easyroot versions. There is tr1,tr2 and tr3 on towelroots page. Tr1.apk was OK for me with easyroot v7 but keep trying different combinations until it works. SuperSU Pro from playstore works peefectly for me. I hope it helps...

Update: Don't forget to check the screen on the phone to confirm connection with PC, and also press Make It Rain once it pops up on your phone...

Patching Fail

So I created a clean XP machine not AV software, copied on the bspatch files and tr patch file. Downloaded tr1.apk, tr2.apk and tr3.apk. Tried to patch all three versions and do not get the same MD5 as the install.bat file. What else should I try?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 General] AdunAton:
Lywyn - Try easyroot v7, v6, v5, etc...
[Xperia Z2 General] lywyn:
I've tried v7 and v8. Looking at the patch file it's identical in both and the install.bat has same dm5 checksum test. I'll try v5 as a few people seem to have success when using that.

phone isn't supported?

So, using ERT v5 and towelroot v2 I have rooted two Z2 D6503s running .402. One had to be returned under warranty and the other I gave to my wife. I received my replacement D6503 and immediately updated the firmware to .402. I ran the same versions of ERT and towelroot to root and everything runs fine until I try to make it ra1n. It immediately says my phone isn't supported. Does anyone know of a solution. I tried to use ERT v8 and the newer version of towelroot but only get the does not match error (even after uninstalling my antivirus application and disabling the firewall)
[Xperia Z2 General] riane9:
Finally got it.

Here's what I did. I downloaded sony xperia drivers and then signed the tr.apk in v9 of ERT. Then root my device using the v7 of the ERT. My device is now rooted.
[Xperia Z2 General] chetly968:
When you say you signed the tr.apk in v9 of ERT, how do you do that? Regardless I still fear that I'll get the "your phone isn't supported yet" message. Are there certain Z2s that are not able to be rooted? I have a D6503 with .402 firmware. Again any help would be appreciated.

Newbie to android world just changed over from iphone.

Now my question surrounding the rooting of the sony experia z2 is at the beginning of this thread it asks you to save the tr.apk into folder/files and I am somewhat confused if this is to be done on the pc or the phone and do you have to create the folder ?

If someone can help me out that would be great

Many thanks

I m trying to root my z2 .402 but is saying it can't find my device.

Any tips on that ? I m a noob.

Edited:

I managed. So guys be sure you have dev tools on from settings and adb drivers.

I could not succeed doing it over windows but I managed on a VM under linux, worked like charm.

One more question:

Can I do the following if my bootloader is locked ?

- Donate to the people involved

- Install SuperSU by Chainfire

- Install dualrecovery by [NUT]

- Backup TA partition

[Google Chromecast] sidhantirc@gmail.com:
Hi,

I was asked to post my question here instead of the chromecast help forum.

I recently installed Linux Mint 16 (cinnamon), Google Chrome (along with the Chromecast plugin) 64 bit version on my machine. The cast tab, feature doesn't work well. There is a severe lag when browsing pages and online video streaming (I would say it looks like a slide show). When I cast a local video file (.avi for example), some times the video is good but the sound comes out of my laptop instead of the TV.

I know the cast worked well in my previous Linux Mint 13 version which was 32 bit. I installed a Linux Mint 16 (32 bit) version to confirm that Mint 16 didn't introduce any issue and it worked like normal.

Since I knew it was working fine on my 32 bit versions, I tried installing a 32 bit chrome along side my existing 64 bit version. After much tinkering with libraries and firefox dependencies, I got it to work like normal. But recently I started to encounter the same issues (on the 32 bit version) that I see on the 64 bit version. I am not sure what needs to be done. Youtube casting works fine from the 64 & 32 bit chrome version. I want to keep Mint 16 64 bit and want to find a solution to this.

Casting a tab works very well on my wives Windows 8 machine, via iPad and iPhone.

OS: Linux Mint 16 (cinnamon) 64 bit

Router: Belkin

TV: Sony Bravia

Looking forward to your comments.

[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
Tab casting is for chumps. Install Plex or there is a chrome app. Forget what its called but search for it yourself. Either one will give much Better results than tab casting.

Dear Friends,

I am thinking about upgrading from the S4 to the S5. I wanted to ask you guys what your experiences are when coming from the S4. Is the S5 really noticeably faster ? Where do you feel the difference? Would you recommend the upgrade ?

I am quite upset that the S5 is stuck on 2GB Ram - I expected an upgrade here i must say that I am a bit jealous of the Xperia Z2 because it has 3 GB. Does it make a difference in terms of Performance for everyday use?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johan81:
In a lot of reviews it is said that 2GB or 3GB makes no difference, the phones do not even use more than 2GB RAM for some reason, though that might change in the future of course (with new Android versions).

I cannot answer the part about getting the S5 over the S4, as I came from an S3 and that difference is huge, but no comparison against the S4 of course!

In order to get it installed (and re-gain root), do this:

- Reboot

- Install 9.2.A.2.5 OTA update

- Let it stabilize for a few minutes

- Gain root by running towelroot apk (see above)

- Re-install superSU 1.99r4

I could not get the OTA update to install, even after Full Unroot in SuperSU. It would abort 1/4th of the way on the 2nd progress bar in the update process, and after reboot would give a message that the update couldn't install. So I updated via PC Companion and re-rooted succsessfully.

Maybe this is why the OTA didn't work(?): I had Superuser (from ChainsDD) installed from a previous root I did on ICS with Easy Root Toolkit, so I had to uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU to be able to unroot.

It is a genuine charger and I tested it for a few seconds, it charges, but it takes a few seconds for the phone to say "Charging" from when I plug it in. Should I be concerned? Also the output voltage is 0.2V higher than the normal 5.0V USB charging voltage.
