[MENTION=5732563]TicoVillas[/MENTION] i've changed the mixer_paths.xml to my own taste. (changing the proper values)

I'll never install this "mods" in my phone but thanks for the tip :good: (read -fancy named things that does exactly what i can changing the right things- )

Before brazilian update i had DE ROM in my Z2.

Felt exaclty the same speed when i rolled back to the brazilian ROM.

And now, on R6A, fell it even better.

Antutu increased from 34000+ to 35000+. (benchmarks mean nothing on day-by-day use but, something has been improved)

Updated version gives me this value.

What do you think about to change from the note 3 to the xperia z2? It's will be a good choice? Or no compense? (Leiam em português rs)

Xperia Z2 is better, hands down, period.
[Xperia Z2 General] subzerobr:
Hello everyone, I'm about to receive in the mail an Xperia Z2, and I've searched all the forums beforehand trying to confirm some information. I don't know what will be the firmware on it, all I know is that it will be unlocked and unbranded.

My main question, is there (as of september 2014) a method for me to backup the TA partition on this specific build in our country, right out of the box, BEFORE anything else changes the TA partition or DRM information stored? I'll be safer messing with it and installing new cfw, if possible, and I didn't really find some info about our Brazilian model. On the regular model searches, I've read that in .402 firmware it was patched and you can't do it before wiping/changing the original DRM information, but you can do it on older firmwares, like .55 and .69, is that true?
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
No.

You can just root without unlock your bootloader and make a backup of yout TA.

Search for Easy Root Tool.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
In any attempt, device, firmware or whatever, you will need to root your device in order to perform the backup of your TA partition.

Keep in mind that rooting is NOT the same unlocking the bootloader. You can easily gain root access without touching the TA partition (which you'll only lose - along with everything in it, including DRM information - IF and only IF you unlock your Z2's bootloader).

There are different methods to gain root and you can find them all in the Cross-Device Development Section - all of them pretty easy, one click and that's it.

After (and only after) you gain root access you can backup the TA partition, along with your DRM keys and everything else, and if you really want to, unlock your bootloader.

Update alert after flash

Hello,

After I successfully flash the version 17.1.2.A.0.314 Generic from the link listed on the first page of this post, I am receiving the notification to update to the very same version.

My phone was bought from Claro.

Is this normal? If I perform the update, will the Claro brand return?

Thanks,

Roberto.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
Which revision did you flash, R5A or R6A? If you flashed the R5A, it is normal to get the update notification (it will update to R6A, a minor revision update). If you don't have any mods or if you are not rooted, it is OK to do the update.

And no, if you update, Claro brand will not return.
[Xperia Z2 General] beto_:
You got it! Was all about the revision.

Thanks!!!

Hi!

I'm thinking of buying the z2.

is anyone having overheating issues?
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
Nope, none, never even once since I bought it in late June... Never recorded any videos in 4K, though (don't really see the point in doing so)...
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
I'm on my third Z2 (14W34 unit this time) and there's no overheat even with 4k.

Tested it and got 16:32 min before memory goes full but nothing about camera stop due to it's temperature. (just got warm, as any device)
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
Why the third? Problems with the first 2?
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
No problems! I buy with very good discount and sell it for a normal price.

Sorry for the doubt, but I come from a motorola x, and there things seemed simpler. I Bought a xperia z2 in Vivo, I can flash a retail rom without customization carrier? I looked for a tutorial but not found. If anyone can help me and send the link'm grateful.

Thanks...

According to the first post in this thread, it seems it is possible.

Take a look at Flashtools and download the latest unbranded .ftf of our country.

Android 4.4.4

Seems like we'll go back to 6503 pretty soon:

http://androidcommunity.com/xperia-z2-and-z2-tablet-android-4-4-4-update-gets-certified-20141007/

http://www.android.gs/sony-xperia-z2-and-xperia-z2-tablet-android-4-4-4-update-certified/

As you guys can see the Z2 4.4.4 update will be based on the Z3 so, new UI and hopefully new tricks like Ps4 remote play. :victory:

I guess that it will take long until our 6543 get this update if it ever, so, goodbye DTV!

Are you guys excited? Because i am!
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
If your device is without linkages of operators will be launching some three weeks after the global update. This is the expectation
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Well,

I really don't trust in Br Sony since they just jumped from .55 straight to .314 and since all you lose is DTV wicth i never used, really, never, i don't care much if my phone is "6503" or "6543"

Let's just wait and see, but i'm definitely upgrading to 4.4.4 as soon as "6503" stock comes out.

Nope, nothing here.
[Xperia Z2 General] victormartins:
Yes, very poor volume in calls. The person talking to me also complains that it's hard to listen to me.
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
So far I have not had serious problems with the call, sometimes the person does not listen to what I say, but just put the phone closer to the face than listen.

Tell me you would know, after it is released (if not already) to update android 4.4.4 via OTA, how long it will take to get here on the Brazilian model (D6543)?
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
There isn't a official deadline for it to be released here in Brazil, it all depends on Sony Mobile and Sony Brasil (and, in case of the carrier-branded firmwares, the carriers themselves).

It may take a while, it may be in the very same day, hell, it can be even before everyone else (this happened once with the Xperia ZQ/ZL). We don't have any way of knowing it until it is actually released.
[Xperia Z2 General] Rick Poldo:
Any news on when the Sony BR will update 4.4.4 for our model? D6543

Thank you!
[Xperia Z2 General] pride_kr:
Yup.... I got G3, S5 and 5s this year.... this Z2 have got a damn poor quality call.... people also complain that can't hear anything..... but camera is amazing!

Looking forward for Note 4... My data plan at Vivo give me Note 4 for R$1290,00....

Since there's no solution for the call quality, as soon I get Note 4 I'll put on selling this Z2.....
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
Z2 with poor call quality is a defective unit.

You should send it to repair center.

They'll solve it fast. (will return a new one)

Do you know if these other rooms have some kind of optimizations for the network of the country? What is really difference between the countries?
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
There is no difference between our country and others with regards to network compatibility. This is because the current modem microchip is compatible with all commercially available networks (including GSM, 2G, 3G, LTE and cellular network).

The only difference between our model and the international model is that the international model (D6503) includes all LTE Bands our model includes plus Bands 13, 17 and 20, which our model dos not. This means you can forget using the 700 MHz spectrum when it becomes available to us (which should still take a couple more years at least).

Since the "drivers" for the remaining Bands are the very same, our model works just fine with an international ROMs when it comes to network connection. Flashing a D6503 firmware will not, however, unlock the remaining bands (there is a theory that such unlock is possible, but it needs to mess with the modem's embedded code, which is extremelly dangerous.

I think someone should start a pool: "who really uses the Digital TV feature?". - I don't know how to start a pool.

Besides, my TV only works with antenna (that awful 10 cm piece of crap that maybe I'll loose anywhere) because of poor digital signal in my town (and I just want to connect the TV when I am not having the antenna, because of some live news, etc... useless).

So be happy, my answer to the pool should be "I don't use"

I just take some look here sometimes in that case the ROM being available (ok, it's nice to say the people "my phone has TV...")

I am now using the D6503 4.4.4 ROM (Customized US), LB, rooted.

So Sony, may your delay be forever and lose some costumers here in Brazil. My phone becomes more "exclusive"..... :cyclops:
[Xperia Z2 General] Sayid_the_Lost:
Usually DTV models have their development linked to the japanese version (Brazil is the only country to have DTV models because Sony is japanese and Brazil use their DTV technology), but Sony and Carries may only release versions after Anatel approval, and this takes a while. That's another reason why Brazilian Sony usually skips minor updates.

Update to 23.0.1.A.0.167

As promised, here is the link to the 23.0.1.A.0.167 update FTF.

And here is the link to the flashable.zip for updating and keeping root. Keep in mind that I followed the very same steps mentioned by [MENTION=838895]norti[/MENTION] in this thread, so you'll need both the zip and the FTF file to update. And make sure you thank [MENTION=838895]norti[/MENTION] for his hard work, he deserves it.

This does not needs to be said, but I'm gonna say it anyway: DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED, YOU ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. So make sure you check [MENTION=838895]norti[/MENTION]'s thread and get familiarized with the process of updating with a pre-rooted flashable package.

I'm updating the OP as well. I'll need to delete some of the old FTF files to upload new ones in the future, so if you want any of those old files, make sure you download them now.

By the way, excellent topic with a perfect english.

[Xperia Z2 General] Alex.K:
Let me know if I understand...

First of all I'll need to roll back to 4.4.2 to be able to 1st root and 2nd install custom recovery.

After that I jump to norti's thread step 8.

Am I right ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
I think you'll need to instal the patched version of recovery using the "normal" and then do the rest.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
That is correct... You'll need to be using the .314 firmware, install XZDualRecovery (doesn't need to be the patched version, it can be the original one - and you can root and install XZDR on one go, using [NUT]'s installer - check out his thread on the Cross-Device Development section if you have any doubts).

Then, after installing XZDR, you just go straight to step 8 of norti's thread and follow those instructions.

Virus in Sony App

Hello Guys,

Sorry, I´m using a google translator.

I have a Sony Xperia Z2 (D6543) and today was Sony application update "Diversão RA" and the anti-virus kaspersky identified an Exploit. I wonder if somebody else complained of this problem ?? I ignore false-positive? :confused::confused:

Can't help you there, buddy. That is one of those apps that I always delete after flashing a new firmware and getting root access.

Hi guys! My last experience on rooting, modding and installing roms was a long, long time ago on a Motorola Milestone 1.

Said that, its easy to notice that i have no ideia on what i need to do with my Z2.

At first, my intention is to have the newest updates from Sony installing the unbranded rom. Actually my device has the Vivo rom 17.1.2.A.0.314 and there's no mention when it will be updated (despiste the eternity to release).

Questions before trying to do stupid things:

- Installing the unbranded rom, i'll have the newest updates automatically?

- Root and unlock bootloader are not required as said in OP, right? (just checking)

- What programs i need to install the generic rom? None? Just the default recovery and the FTF file?

Thanks for the patience.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tiu Fiu:
First of all, welcome

Now, as for the questions:

- An unbranded ROM will surely receive the latest updates than branded ROMs, since the release of updates on unbranded ROMs depends only on Sony, while branded firmwares depend also on the carriers themselves;

- You don't need to unlock your bootloader in order to get root, but you will need to get yourself familiarized with the process (remember, if you screw up, it is your fault and yours alone);

- If you only want to install a firmware and not root it, you'll only need Flashtool and the FTF file posted on the OP. You can find the Flashtool thread on the Cross-Device Development section. If you want to update and root your device, specially to the newest firmware, you'll need to follow the steps posted a few pages back.

Remember, READ!!! Get yourself familiarized with the processes first before trying anything.

Now the waiting for the brazillian model's update begins. Let's hope that it won't take too long like the 4.4. I really don't want to use the international firmware, even though I rarelly use the DTV (wich apparently is the only sgnificant difference). Maybe im patriotic about my firmwares. heheh.

[Xperia Z2 General] zeehkaev:
Pretty good

I've been used it for 2 days here is what I can tell:

It works fine on the Brazilian model as exoected but without any chances of keeping DTV.

The speed is overall good but it seens slighty more laggy than kit kat and the battery life was significantly reduced unfortunately (:/)

I am not sure if I actually enjoyied material design, it certainly is pretty, but not sure if it is usefull, sometimes I miss the old way to do stuff, but everything is still there is just different.

Overall: Its good to go, just keep in mind you will lose the DTV the rest seens fine.
