Hello.

I've installed this and it's working great, but I can't have write-access to my SD Card, and some patches to Android from Lucky Patcher aren't working (Such as the ability to overwrite apps with older versions).

Is there any fix for this? Are there problems with the root access?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] suleiman.aql:
Same problem.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mervluk:
Same problem. The answer posted on the Z3 forum worked for me: using the alpha 5.1.1 Xposed and SD card write module enabled TB to backup apps to the SD card, and other apps to save to the SD card. The PlayStore SD write apps didn't work. Don't think Lucky Patcher is supported on these forums so doubt you'll get an answer there!

This will help you!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kunaltyagii:
Navigate to the /system/etc/permissions/ folder and look for the platform.xml.

Copy the platform.xml file into the same location as platform.xml.bak file.

Open the platform.xml file with any text editor on your device and search for the following line:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

you need to add a 3rd GID (Group ID): <group gid="media_rw" /> below <group gid="sdcard_rw" />. Reboot. It should fix the SD card problem

Hi guys, i had to send my device to service and when it came back they upgraded the phone so i've lost root. now using 23.4.A.0.546. I've downloaded some roms, one was UK - 17.1.2.A.0.314. completed flashing but when the device boots and when the stripes comes out ; device starts to sound "beep" , hangs and resets. . I had to use sony pc companion to restore. So i've tried some other .314 roms aswell but the result was the same. What do i miss here? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Do a full wipe while flashing .314 ftf. That means, dont check/uncheck anything while flashing via flashtool.

Ty so much :) Turns out that i forgot to enable "unknown sources" on phone and in flash tool flashing options was coming "un ticked" for wiping options.. i've ticked them all and voila :D /hugs

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Are you sure you did wiped the data, system, cache and appdata and didn't uncheck those options in the flashtool while flashing?

I had bootloop too because I hadn't wiped them all, I tried again checking them options and it worked.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] r0nz3y:
pretty sure. the new flashtool asks you what items to "exclude" I selected none. For items to include I checked all of them...

you're right me dumb dumb thanks mang
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Zaki Jamalullail:
Thank you. Everything works fine. No problem at all. But, there's one thing. Since it's downgrade to 4.4.2, The splashscreen got replaced to the old one. When I upgrade to 5.1.1, The splashscreen still the old one. Is there a way to get the new Splashscreen? Thanks :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
It's not that you're dumb or whatever, you actually aren't. Just try it with any other stock firmware. It isn't important that you flash it with .314 only. Even 5.0.1 can be rooted using kingroot and recovery can be installed using xzrecovery in a single tap. That guide is also available here in xperia z2's section.

Download the 3.0 alpha xposed version first and install it then flash the v74 sdk22 arm from recovery. It'll just take some seconds.

.232 pre rooted only or with dual recovery installed?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] feuer-kampfer:
.232 is pre-rooted with dual recovery, but it has bloatware
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
it is stock.. Didn't you read the title? Or don't know the meaning for Stock?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] feuer-kampfer:
I did, but this has more boat than normal, like an app named akazoo, line, one named qoo10 or something, and one about stock exchange, I uninstall'em, and every time I restart the phone are installed again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
When I was making d6503 zip, I used Malaysia customization.. I din't find any fw released for 6503.. (i.e. US,UK, Aus etc..) So, i made zip with that Malaysia fw.. The bloatwares you found are all depends the customization..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ferdroyd:
Hi,

Thanks [MENTION=5939668]arul20be[/MENTION] for the zip file. I have been waiting for ".232".

Is it true that even if you uninstalled some pre-installed apps like qoo10, it will be installed again once you restarted?

I haven't experienced anything like that before. Even system apps that I uninstalled, they never got installed again when I restarted for older firmware like ".546".

Kindly advise.

/f
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
I don't know about that.. Coz, I'm a d6502 user.. And don't worry.. I've uploaded the US customization for D6503 version..

[MENTION=6493472]feuer-kampfer[/MENTION] bro, if you can, install the US version..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jmwreck:
I can confirm that both akazoo and qoo10 will re-install once restarted.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ferdroyd:
Thanks [MENTION=5939668]arul20be[/MENTION]. I will flash US firmware this weekend. Will post here on how it went.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] feuer-kampfer:
I did flash the US version, works great, and has little to none new apps, though, I find myself the issue of deleting the apps and when the phone is restarted the app is still there quite annoying, but now is just one (LinkedIn)... I can work with that :)

thank you.

I have just flashed this and uninstalled some of the user apps. However, I noticed since I have flash the D6503_flashable_23.4.A.1.232 yesterday, it seems that my root was gone (sorry for the lack of word). I can't uninstall the system apps.

If you are running Windows 10 and trying to flash your Z2, just be sure to “Disable driver signature enforcement” on your Windows 10 and everything will work normally.

Here is how to do this in Windows 10:

This is needed so that the drivers for FlashTool can be installed properly, otherwise you will run into errors during FTF firmware flashing.

I didn´t really get what is the difference between one and the other...

I have the 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.200 on a D6503, which one should I use? the 1st or one of the files inside the 2nd link?

Nevermind, the second link is just the sum of all the options :D I just need the 1st :D

Question about rooting (XZDualRecovery,Flashtool,TFT

Hey guys,I have a little question..

I´m on stock 5.1.1 and I want to do root, the download link (of XZDualrecovey) is from a beta,I can use the lastest stable version for the Z2?

And about Flashtool,the download link is for 0.9.18.3,can I use the lastest? (0.9.19.8).

And (Sorry for too many questions guys haha) Does mind if I use the .402? I found a .314 it´s from UK but IDK if deletes my baseband or something (I was from LG before)

Thank you guys,I wait for your response.:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Yes you can use that beta version.. If anything goes wrong use the given recovery.

If you want to flash .314 then use the given flashtool version(i.e. 0.9.18.3). Otherwise you can't flash.

If it is possible to root with .402, yes you can use it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] milister31:
Well Arul,I was trying to say that the link of this post downloads a beta version of the Flashtool,the one I ask if can use is the lastest stable version
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Quote Me!! Or else I won't get notified.

If you are flashing the .314 ftf, then use the given one. Do not use the latest one.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] milister31:
Ok,thanks,I will try in few days because my memory arrives in one week,currently I only have a 1gb micro sd so I can´t put the pre-rooted zip on the sd card,or can I power on the phone (after intalling recovery and enters on it) to transfer the zip? I knew if I don´t clean internal memory on recovery the files like music and that will be not deleted so I think that I can do that right? (I come from LG,IDK if Sony do that things different or something)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
You can use OTG drives. Or, enter into recovery and connect the USB. Then copy the zip to desired path and begin to flash.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] milister31:
Really? I have a usb OTG,sure TWRP supports it? Sorry if I'm too annoying man,it's just that I'm a little confused about Sony and their a bit harder rooting methods
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Yeah TWRP supports it. After connecting OTG drive, just change the Drive to OTG. That's all!!

And, no worries man, I don't mind. I was also a beginner once.

@arul20be whats the difference between D6503_flashable_23.4.A.0.232_[5.1.1]_US.zip and D6503_flashable_23.4.A.1.232_[5.1.1].zip ? my phone is unbranded
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Yeah same method. If you already have root access, just flash the desired zip.

The one contains US in suffix is US branded and the other one is Malaysian FW. The Malaysian one contains some extra bloatwares than the other one. Better go with US one.

Cannot send and receive SMS

Brother your update was working flawlessly in Xperia D6502 until i came to know that the SMS is not working. I cannot send and receive SMS.

Anybody got this problem?

I previously used KK 4.4.2 (The ROM what you provided) and i am rooted.

Now uprading to Lollipop 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.232 with your guidance for already rooted users.

I installed nut dual recovery and copied the flashable zip of 5.1.1 (Build 232) to memory card.

Then installed through recovery.

Everything works fine. Except the SMS.

Any solution. :)

Note :

1. ROMs i used are all from your links. Thanks

2. Used my present SIM in other phone. It is working good.

3. I reinstalled the flashable zip again from recovery. But no changes.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Did you wipe dalvik/cache after flashing the zip?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cineraja:
Yes i did wiping cache after the install was over. I see an option to wipe in the recovery.

After it said "Done" i rebooted the system.

see the screenshot showing "Could not send" in SMS. Attachment
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
Wired.. Its not at all related to 5.1.1. Check the SMS center number..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cineraja:
Bro, that is why i tried the SIM in another phone. The same SIM sends SMS and receives well.

I contacted customer care. They asked me to change the message center number and they gave a number..

Here is the problem. I cannot change the number. And the number present in the phone is the same number customer care gave me.

Finally i made a full reset except the SD card.

SMS is now working.

But i dont know what is the problem.

Thanks for all ur replies.. :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manman1:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but after the upgrade I'll have stock Android right; does this mean I won't have the various photo 'modes' that come with the phone (The AR stuff, timeburst etc)? If so- are these just apps I can re-download (or maybe I won't need to- it sounded like some people said your data/apps should all remain). I just wasn't sure what the case is if those apps are part of the OS or something... Thanks!

One other question- My main purpose for upgrading is to have a version of Android where you can put apps on the SD card again. I've heard that's the case with Lollipop, but I also read it makes general changes to how the SD card is used (on the dev side). Does this mean that only apps where developers have also made certain changes on the app side can be saved/run from SD card, or should I be able to put/run any apps from SD card once I upgrade (or 3rd option- what I heard was totally wrong, and I can't run apps from SD card at all)?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] arul20be:
All your current apps are untouched, if you update. All the AR effect and all are the part of the stock ROM.

You can run apps from your SD card. And actually all the apps can't be moved. But, its worth it. Try!!
