I live in the UK and I'm on 3 network with unlimited tethering. When I try to connect something off the phone, the other device does connect but can't access Internet. I had no issues whatsoever when I was on kitkat. I haven't messed around with the rom either so it's defo rom related/bug as I'm not the only one. Just because of this now I have to downgrade!! I'm loosing hope on Sony devices day by day...

As mentioned in the OP ,TB doesn't work atm.(Tried myself and got a bootloop,twice).

Right now i ve set the rom up and everything works like a charm.

The question i have is,has anyone tried Helium to see if that works?

Instead of TB.

I would try myself, but right now im on the go and i don't have time for testing.

I just want to let people now that I installed this from TWRP from complete wipe and everything is working. Even titanium backup. Didn't do anything extra, no bugs no nothing. Root 100%.

How?

- Reboot device into recovery.

- Wipe all (factory reset).

- Flash nuts dual recovery.

- Flash the Rom.

- Wipe cache and dalvic.

- Reboot.

- Enjoy ?

Anyhow. This works for me a 100%. Don't forget to apply the SuperSU fix mentioned in OP.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] pr0jesse:
So you have a recovery on lollipop?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chawlasrijan:
Hi all

It seems some of you are facing Root issues or R/W Mount issues or Titanium Backup issues

To be very clear all of them work like a charm

Note: Don't install xposed, it causes bootloops after 2nd or 3rd reboot & i can confirm that (already tried like 10 times with different xposed modules)

Note: RECOVERY DOES NOT WORK

Follow these steps & maybe everything will work out for you too (UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY)

1. Flash a custom KK kernel with recovery (I used Abricot Kernel v6 http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/orig-development/kernel-abricot-kernel-v3-t2965480)

2. Wipe everything (DATA+CACHE+DALVIK CACHE+SYSTEM)

3. Flash this rom

4. Flash the XZDualRecovery 2.8.3 Advanced Stock Kernel for lolipop (http://nut.xperia-files.com/)

This kernel seems to fix R/W Mount issues

5. Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache

6. Reboot

Everything worked for me using this method even the bloatware deletion from Titanium Backup

AGAIN THERE IS NO RECOVERY & DO NOT FLASH XPOSED

Note: If you dont have R/W Privileges than your titanium backup will give you errors or simply wont work at all
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nomaj:
My Backup Pro - works just fine ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wickedmx:
Simple install means stable result

NOTE: THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOT LOADERS ONLY!!!!

I've been playing with this ROM for the last few days, and I've experienced many of the issues being reported in this thread. However, I now have a stable, fully rooted installation that has been running on my phone smooth as silk, even after at least half a dozen test reboots.

My first pieces of advice are as follows:

1) Don't try and install Xposed. This is still in very early build stages and is highly unstable. Lollipop is pretty cool without it, but if you really want to get into that area of customisation, wait until it's been more thoroughly tested if you don't want your phone to break.

2) As was noted in some earlier posts, make sure you're coming from a stable stock based build, even if it is not rooted. Try installing the .314 firmware with Flashtool first and then install [Nut]'s Dual Recovery using option 3 from the "installer" version.

3) Using Titanium Backup when switching ROM versions can be risky, so don't try and use Titanium to backup/restore everything. Only backup the apps that you really need to restore, excluding any system apps such as SMS, Phone, Settings, etc.

From there, this is what I did to get a stable install once I had a working recovery(which bear in mind was not rooted as this is not required to proceed):

1) From the stock install, just click through the initial start up settings screens so you can activate Developer mode and USB Debugging.

2) Copy this ROM to your internal sdcard.

3) Head over to http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and go to the "XZDualRecovery Kernel" section. Follow the prompts to download the pre infused Kernel/Recovery for the "23.1.A.0.690" firmware. Copy this to your internal sdcard.

4) Head over to http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU and download the lates SuperSu update. Copy this to your internal sdcard.

5) Boot into your recovery and perform an advanced wipe (data/dalvik/cache/system)

6) Flash ROM, flash SuperSu zip, flash Kernel/Reoovery

7) Reboot your phone and you should be good to go.

At the end of this, I ended up with a completely stable, fully rooted install, including having a fully working Dual Recovery.

Remember, if you're going to restore any data using Titanium Backup, only restore apps you've downloaded from the Play Store. Don't try and restore any settings, SMS, call logs, etc, as these have caused problems. The settings options are quite different in Lollipop anyway, so best you start from scratch.

I hope this helps a few get this working. As always, Sony has done a great job on only customising this ROM to give it the "Sony" feel. A lot of this ROM is still very Google Stock, so it really only warrants minor customisations, which can come when Xposed is more solid.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
Create a system update.zip from titanium backup and flash that. There is no issues with TB!! Only it wont restore system apps maybe, but that has been an old issue.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Edwrib:
I don't have TB issues too, everything fine.

Could you point me what zip you used for supersu?

You can try es file explorer to see if he can acquire root?

I read about ric and pie, idk if my issue is any of this two, since I don't flashed any 'fix'.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aaserodio:

Guys, How do I know if i have R/W permissions?

I am trying to delete bloatware with es file explorer or titanium backup but it fails.

also i tried to copy a file into system folder without sucess.

what can I do to have full acess to system? it's rooted of course using the flashable zip from this topic.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wickedmx:
So after a couple of reboots, I lost the ability to boot into recovery. However, the recoveries are still there as both NUT Tools and TWRP Manager report them as being installed and available. So there must be something with the boot hook that loads recovery. Hopefully NUT or TWRP will find a way around this.

Root and ROM however are working with no issues whatsoever, and I've had this running for just on 24 hours now.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] deepongi:
nailed it. what is giving your release [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], R/W permissions on /system is the XZDR kernel. dunno if are aware of it or not. i flashed a modified build of yours without XZDRKernel2.8.3, i wasnt able to get r/w access on /system .. i flashed D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip, and voilá.. i had r/w access.

Did a clean flash, since I've done dirty flash before, from 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4, and since there are some bugs reported around here, I went with clean flash and all works fine - I have root access, no bootloops, and... no recovery. xD

All good, though! Will see if AdAway works. If so, I'll be more than happy to wait until Xposed works on LP/ART, and Z2 gets a working recovery. :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] benjmiester:
V4a needs a permissive kernel, i would assume that stock kernel is enforcing (NOT permissive). I had V4a working fine on 5.0 lp Roms before, if it won't let you install drivers, and just wants to try to install then eagain every time you open the app then kernel is still enforcing and won't allow v4a yet. You can try downloading an app called 'Selinux Mode Changer' and switch it to permissive (requires root) and then install viper audio drivers in the V4a app. If that doesn't work, we must have to wait for kernel.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MrCatalyst:
Reporting again: clean flash works flawlessly. Root stayed, AdAway works (need to change an option in preferenes of the app), DPI change works (and it doesn't scale the phone nor calculator weirdly; unlike Xperia Home).

No bugs apart from that, really. Network works well, phone works smoothly, and I have Lollipop. What's not to like?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adyscorpius:
Small fix.

If you have titanium backup and use external sd for backing up data, the rom currently doesnt allow that. It mounts external sd as read only for some apps, including titanium backup.

https://mega.co.nz/#!Y4MhQLpK!qqTc8C-EVL4zLDuBIJ0Yi-PwyQjYDMV1sSdD7rKjR9s

This fixes it. Flash in recovery. Or extract the platform.xml file and push to /system/etc/permissions and set permissions as 644.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Arvis20:
For me v4a works normally, just need to play around in order to work... If you set selinux to permissive mode it wont allow to install v4a driver's, so first you need to set selinux to enforced mode, install driver's, set v4a to compatible mode and reboot. After that change selinux mode to permisisve, and make sure you not using dsee hx engine. It worked for me ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:

RW on system isn't related to kernel with this rom since included kernel is stock.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] deepongi:
if you are flashing XZDR 2.8.3 (which is on the ROM zip and checking the updater-script also and which is a boot.img if you open the zip file), stock kernel gets replaced with the one from XZDR...

correct me if i am wrong.

like i said, i tried all the "suggestions" posted here, with your release without XZDR, and couldnt get rw access on system. i flashed the XZDR and i had rw access..

even more, i flashed the NCB ftf, didnt had rw access on system, and after flashing XZDR, i had rw access.

so, take your own conclusions .. ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
I am thinking that you are talking about something else. The recovery zip inside the rom zip isn't the kernel version of dual recovery but the classic one.

If you are opening the rom zip, you will see boot.elf who is Sony stock kernel.

If you are opening dualrecovery.zip, you won't find any other boot.img, also the recovery updater script isn't flashing any kernel neither.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Borz93:
I think that [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] refers is flash a D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip, no Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer.zip, which is what you insert into your ROM.

I also flash D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip and and have full root.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] deepongi:
ok, but the XZDR kernel zip version is doing something, because i can get rw access with it even on stock ftf, and without it i can't. your release i had rw access even without flashing it, just had to disable the option on supersu and reboot., but.. after a few days i lost access when i was trying to figure it out.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Indeed the Recovery is related, some files of the recovery are needed to have full root.

Stock ftf and supersu.zip only are not enough.

;)

Anyway, something totally different, you are doing an amazing work with rom build from source like CM and AOSP, thanks for that ;)

Guys, i have a D6502 and I created a prerooted 23.1.A.0.690 Baltic Generic[for 6503] zip package and added Nut's dual recovery too to the zip package, which obviously didn't work. After flashing the zip in twrp recovery, i immediately flashed 6502_Baseband_V2.zp too (fix for d6502 modem files) . Now i have sim card signal, but my wifi is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting which is pretty unusable in this state (it reconnects almost every 5 seconds), so it's like it is constantly dropping out and then trying to reconnect. What can i do to fix this? any suggestions would be appreciated. btw, i'm on locked bootloader so i can't fastboot or flash the baseband_v2 fix again.

edit**** the funny thing is even when i don't flash d6502 patch and thus i have no signal the same thing happens to wifi (dropping out constantly), so i guess my phone can't be upgraded to lollipo?:( i reverted back to 4.4.2 and the wifi is functioning normally again.

ps. i even flashed niaboc79's pre rooted stock rom zip and the results is the same.

pss. sry if my question doesn't belong in here, thought more users gonna see this. thanks in advance.
