hello

i did back to stock 416 then root dual recovery flash PA than flash dual recovery again and working good but in installation info : i need to flash boot.img i dont know how :( i try via flash tool but always bootloop , why i have to flash it ? and how can any1 help me please :( im noob with z2
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
You need to flash boot.img inside the ROM zip file in order to have a recovery. As been said in dual recovery thread, the recovery will only work on sony stock kernel. That might be the reason why you ended up in a bootloop. To fix it, install any kernel with a recovery built in by fastboot-ing it, then install the ROM with that recovery. Then go back to bootloader mode and fastboot the kernel in the ROM file.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mila4me:
ty but i dont know how to flash boot.img :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Power off your phone, connect your usb cable from PC into the phone then quickly hold volume up button. This brings you to bootloader mode. The LED light will turn blue.

Open command prompt / terminal, cd to the directory that you keep the boot.img. Type in:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

(In case if you don't have adb & fastboot tool you can google around and get one)

After you see a success message, reboot your phone.

fastboot reboot

Thank you man just did few min ago found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752270

sorry lol and Ty again for your help

Maybe u know any good camera and Z2 alnum movie mod ? cause camera is not that good in CM11 :(
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Sony's album and movie requires sony frameworks to work, and I don't think it's possible to make them work on AOSP based ROMs.

On the camera, you wont expect the same quality as sony's, and that's what it is on all AOSP ROMs. But it's not too bad, it still gets the job done. I'm using oneplus one camera app btw.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mila4me:
ty man found album but no movie or walkman :)

Just flashed this rom yesterday loving it btw. One problem i found is when i make calls i cant hear anything and apparently the microphone isnt working either unless i use speakerphone or a headset of some sort... Just wondering if others had similar issues i tried searching for the problem but turned up nothing on the forums Sorry if im a noob haha
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] drup88:
i just downloaded the latest sirius cm nightly and flashed it via fastboot

http://i.imgur.com/RrrNLuY.png

Now im stuck @ Sony Boot logo.

If i flash the boot.img that came in ROM link (http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/sirius) the issue still exists. Any solutions?

p.s - speaker works fine - but theres no sound if im using the handset.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] _heisenberg:
I've flashed boot.img but when i try to boot into recovery, my LED only turns orange and my screen stays black.

First time rooting Z2.

I've rooted phones before but namely only Samsung Galaxy's, Just wondered if someone could verify for me!

I am rooted with superSU, on stock .314 and have installed multi-recovery. Is it necessary to push the boot.img via fastboot? or can i simply install ROM from zip (with wipe...) ?

Not used to Sony's strange inbuilt boot things!

Cheers for any replies, tis much appriciated :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] waynekirby:
Do you have your bootloader unlocked? If you haven't then you can't install this.

But if you have, then simply wiping data and caches then installing should be fine, but if not make sure you have the boot.img ready in case you need to flash it manually (fastboot.) :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Bassbase:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah, bootloader is unlocked. I will hopefully be giving this a shot tomorrow! Thanks again - hate feelin' like a noob! haha
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] waynekirby:
Doesn't matter, it's natural to be more skeptical when using other OEM's phones.

Make sure you make a backup first too! :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Vogie:
There is any link to download last KitKat PA version ?!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] tomgus1:
You can find our KK builds here :)

We're busy adding in a lot of the missing features from the KK days to Lollipop which should be here soon enough.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] :
OP link is Lollipop Build

Your Link is Broken

Where can i get the Kitkat Build of AOSPA?

I'm not in AOSPAL team anymore. I moved to PA-Legacy.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] furrypotato:
Very nice, made me ditch stock ROM only 2 days after going back to it from CM :)

Now def need some custom kernels for Z2 to start implementing s2w etc
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Reb0rn:
How do I actually change like pie settings. Holo. And app settings?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
There are no more pie settings and app settings in PA 4. Most features are presented inside the frameworks itself.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Reb0rn:
And that means?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Not all features are given as an option in the settings, pie is now hardcoded, there's nothing that can be changed except for changing the positions. App settings is not implemented yet, and to me maybe the chance for getting it is too narrow.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Reb0rn:
Great. Thanks for info :) haven't used pa since my note 1 and 2 years.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] starbury:
How do you actually use that Kernal that you have posted in post 1? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Mr.R™:
If you already have recovery ignore the bit about the kernel and just full wipe and flash and all is good, it's really only for people that don't have a recovery to initially install the rom :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:
Hows the camera quality of this ROM? Coz CM11 is really bad
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mtl171:
Rom works fantastically. However, my phone seems lock up and reboot whenever charged with pogo pins. Works fine with micro usb.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
That could be a CM bug.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
I have only been using the pins and haven't had such issues.. Not a CM issue. Must be the charger or something else!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mtl171:
It is possible. Haven't seen anything regarding the pogo pins in the cyanogen mod thread. Are you using the dock (dk36) or are you using a cable?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Using an aftermarket cable. Make sure the pins arent shorting anywhere..
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] starbury:
Thank you for clarifying that. I understand now :D
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Devzz:
Would I be able to flash the Sony Cybershot .apk from the cross development forums or does that require a stock Sony kernel? I'm assuming it does require stock. Would love to flash the ROM but don't want to lose the camera and noise cancelling features :(

I flashed everything as instructed by the OP but my phone isnt receiving any signal reception, and IMEI shows up as unknown. Did i miss something or do anything wrong?

P.S. Phone model is D6502

Anyway to flash z2 camera.apk with all sides apps(timeshift burts, 4k vídeo...)?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Sony frameworks and tweaks is needed, which is not present in all AOSP based roms.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] furrypotato:
New build seems to be up.

I'd recommend the app CyanDelta , they recently added PA to it and I can confirm it works.( It only downloads anything that's new in zip compared to previous zip so this update was just 13mb, and it flashes it for u in cwm )

NFC wont work in latest rom, before it works...

Can it be from that idont wipe anything, only install rom and gapps...
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Yes. Clean wipe if coming from another ROM.

Wipe system and both cache when updating to a newer versions.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Devzz:
Hey OP, thanks for the ROM! Been looking forward to it for months but the Sony framework is too good to drop :( there's a guide however on the cross-platform section on porting the framework over to CM11. Since this ROM has a cm11 base/kernel would you mind having a look to see if you could work something out?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] rintala@hakunila.com:
No luck still.. i cant even choose NFC and android beam states, they are gray

and wont go on...

i Just update
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] S M G:
It "appears" to be a CM issue with the XZ2. My NFC worked perfectly up until NIGHTLY 20140810, then it suddenly stopped working and i cant activate it either, hoping they fix it soon...

On Topic:

I am currently on the latest CM11 NIGHTLY 20140813 and i am rather content with it - camera quality, and above mentioned NFC issues considering. What other features are/aren't working in this ROM ? I'm considering jumping on the PA boat but don't want have to much things "not working" any input ?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] waynekirby:
It has the same 'bugs' as CM11 when I last used this ROM mate.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] S M G:
Not what i wanted to hear, but thanks :good: mate. Can't makeup my mind if i should go the PA route or not.

Edit:

Just downloaded the

pa_sirius-4.5-BETA2-20140813.zip

file and Chrome warned me that its a malicious file, however my AV (ESET) disagrees. Anyone know why the hell Chrome would say its a malicious file ?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] mtl171:
Glad to hear I'm not the only way with this problem. Was wondering if NFC antennae was disconnected. Additionally, NFC services seems to be wakelocking and it refuses to forcestop :(
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Mr.R™:
Because Google is starting to go the way of apple and treat all its users as if they are incompetent retards that don't know what they are doing, open the downloads tab, click recover file or keep this file or whatever it is and all is good, it also shouldn't do it again
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] furrypotato:
Yep NFC causing battery drain :
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] S M G:
Latest NIGHTLY(20140815) is up and supposedly "fixes" the NFC issue.

Nope, the headsets themselves do but the noise cancelling doesn't. Nothing that requires Sony framework works on this ROM.

Just a few questions if anyone can answer them:

1) Can you set the camera to use the full 20.7MP

2) Can you update nightly and/or stable builds via OTA

3) Can you control the notification LED for custom colors and frequency/duration?

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:
Thanks for the info. How would you compare the camera quality of stock and CM11? I used CM11 few weeks back and its just bad :( the photo even on 20mp isnt as sharp as stock.

Can you confirm that it has been updated recently? Anyhow the only thing that keeps me out of using CM based ROM is the image quality. Other than that, all good.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] S M G:
Unfortunately that is my ONLY gripe with CM/PA the camera quality on my Xperia Z2 was horrendous. Stock Xperia IQ is by far superior. What i find strange is that my brother-in-law had the same nightly build on his Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the image quality taken of the exact same thing was better than that of my Xperia Z2,both running CM. So image quality seems to be better on some device than others,so this tells me that the CM/PA could potentially fix this issue in the future but when,remains a mystery. At this time the image quality is still stupendous and i wouldn't recommend anyone who values good image quality to install CM/PA.

To be realistic, i doubt that this issue is going to be resolved in the foreseeable future,i hope i am wrong though.

PS i recently got myself a OnePlus One which as you probably know comes with CM11s officially and the image quality is fantastic.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] heorung:
The low quality camera issue happen when you unlock your Bootloader , Sony has its private image processing algorithm which only be used with lock bootloader , and you cannot use that processing algorithm with Unlock Bootloader , even with stock rom (unlocked bootloader)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] S M G:
Interesting, i'll re-lock my boot-loader & re-install stock to confirm. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] heorung:
SMG , remember to take some pics before you relock your bootloader and compare it with locked bootloader pics.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:
I beg to disagree. I went back to stock w/o relocking my bootloader and I still got perfect image quality same as if I haven't unlocked my z2.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] gautampw:
+1

I tried myself and can tell bootloader unlocking does not affect camera quality. I tested on stock BL and Bu. The difference is because of difference in environment while taking the shot.

It looks more like a placebo.

I say that thread is a perfect example of mass hysteria, nothing happens, but the fear of losing camera quality made many people feel that's actually the case
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Bootloader unlocking caused X reality not to work which was later patched in custom roms. So the difference that people saw wasnt in the picture but in the screen rendering. The base pic is exactly the same between LB and UB.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:
Not true. X-reality still works on my UL-BL z2. And Im not using any custom rom atm. im using stock .314.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] heorung:
All you guys have to test the camera in the low light environment , i have xperia Z before i own Z2 , and both of them lack of noise processing algorithm from sony , the pics in low light shot always have random green , red dot in the dark area which don't appear in the locked bootloader pics.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:
Slo-Mo is a Sony stock feature app and it needs Sony's framework to work, so to answer your question, this feature will be removed unless someone from CM will build a slo-mo app.

Booting into TWRP

@OP

I hope I can pose this issue. I find that after flashing the boot image, and having already done the dd command to place TWRP (latest version) in the fotakernel partition, I can't power up and trigger TWRP.

It's only when I carry out a fastboot flash (fastboot flash boot stock-17.1.1.A.0.402-sirius-repack.img) via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2772879, then I could get into TWRP (latest version). All I want to do is to not just flash the ROM etc which I alrady did, but do a nandroid. In this case, I played safe by flashing PA and Gapps once more, without wiping cache etc (to keep my stuff intact), and then do the nandroid.

So can you please advise me:

1. the boot image from the PA ROM - I expect it to bring up CWM, right?

2. if I'd like TWRP, is it possible to provide 2 separate boot.img files or links, one for CWM and one for TWRP? (I think it's just a one time effort, since the subsequent flashing of the ROM will have the latest boot image. Alternatively, I presume PA OTA would update automatically without rebooting into recovery, hopefully)

Thank you very much.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Battery drain fix was merged just after the update has released.

If you want to apply the fix without waiting for the new update just simply edit init.qcom.rc file in "/" directory in the phone and put the word "on" in front of "property:service.bootanim.exit=1" code then reboot. That should do the trick.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] zantekk:
