[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
hey sorry for the noob question or if its been asked before but didnt see it in the specific instructions.

im on .314 existenz with locked bootloader. Do i still need to flash the .167 kernel through flashtool after (or anything else)? (i know this was required with the older roms but not sure if we found a way to include it now for locked bootloaders).

thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] waynekirby:
ExistenZ is based on .314, so not until you upgrade to .167 FW or a .167 based ROM. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
bro im obviously talking about when upgrading to this rom as i said im ALREADY ON EXISTENZ (hence why i asked if i need to flash kernel AFTER THIS), this is why i posted it in THIS roms thread and not in existenz... common sense...

and that still didnt even answer my question... do i need to flash kernel and baseband .167 via flashtool after flashing THIS ROM? It is not stated in the instructions.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
No just flash my friend [MENTION=5289020]BULL3TPROOF[/MENTION]

The kernel is also in this zip what is working on locked bl also, so no flashtool needed ;)

That is true about instructions, always unclear in threads like this one for new people !!!

Is that it?

Many thanks

Its possible to flash another Kernel like apricot O3 V6?

Hi! Im new on this device and stay already on this rom. It is possible to flash another Kernel to get an overcklocking option? I wanna try the apricot V6 Kernel. My Z2 is rooted and Bootloader is free.....First try to flash another Kernel via TWRP wont work, recovery says flashing ok, but at the reboot the Display stay at a black Screen and won't boot already ;-(, i figured out that the device are already at flashmode.....so i must flash this Rom again.....any suggestions?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
use flashtool and then use fastboot or try with cmw recovery and not with twrp because that recovery give sometime an error but use flashtool and fastboot, i did that also with my old XP always !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] meckipower:

Hi the mighty Niaboc :D

I have a question. I barely faced a problem that I could not connect my Ipega Controller 9021 to my D6503. My handset is currently running on your prerooted firmware. But somewhat, right now, the controller is able to connect. Well, just now. It had been unconnected since the day I ran on your prerooted firmware.

Is there something missed out? Maybe it was caused by bugs? I have already flashed the fix game by the way.

Just really curious to know what the problem source is :rolleyes:

TWRP Recovery gives sometimes an error, give it a shot to CWM Recovery and look if that works if not then mount system before flash ;)

I use by myself always CWM and never had an issue with it ^^
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Isley_:
Yes I reinstalled everything and bow I'm on your ROM but can't sing in into CWM. NDR app doesn't recognize the script
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Hmm okay i see well dont use the NDR app if you have already flashed the recovery, that app i never use and is totally useless for me if i have already recovery.

Try to reflash the rom again or the recovery zip or go to [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] his webpage and download install recovery for your pc and re install it by connecting your Z2 with your usb cable, that should work.

-Downgrade to 4.4.2

-Root with any methood

-Install nut dual recovery (latest version).

-Copy rom files to your EXTERNAL sd card, (fix and rom)

-Go to recovery (philz) and wipe evereything (internal sd, data, cache, dalvik cache and system).

-Flash rom.

-Restart phone

-Let it settle

-Go to recovery and flash fix

-Restart

-Let it settle

Optional:

-Go to recovery

-Re flash the nut's recovery latest version

-Restart

-Enjoy.

I perfomed the process using this steps and the phone works fine.

You should not wipe the system it will give you sysmlink error thing, if that happens donot reboot, restore backup and reflash again or just try and reflash the rom. Oh well this wont help anyways since you need to use flashtool now to revive your phone

Yeah...coming from htc so wipe system was must.

No prob...phone running agaij, just need to reroot and install recovery again at home :)
