[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
I did the flashtool route of upgrading to 5.1.1 as I have in the past using this guide http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155

It goes through optimizing apps, then reboots, and repeats this process. I can get into the regular recovery menu with the options to reboots and factory reset by holding volume down, but can't seem to get into TWRP from ZXDualRecovery so I can restore the backup that I made.

Any help would be appreciated. Just want my tablet back up and running.

Where did u find 5.1.1 for spg561? Sorry for not having an answer
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
Xperifirm. I got an email from Sony saying it was available.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Care to link me?I can't find it anywhere. My tablet won't pull it and the Verizon update software says it's up to date.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
May be best to wait. That update borked my tablet, but Xperifirm is software that you use to download it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
I've used xperitool,tried to ota,used verizon/Sony upgrade tool, got the same email from Sony, and Googled the hell out of this with no results. I'm convinced there is no 5.1.1 update for this tablet and it was confused with the 5.0.2 update going from verizon internal testing to official ota. The z3 phone and this tablet shared the build name. I don't believe it. With that in mind I think you flashed phone firmware and that's why you are bootlooping.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
No it's there. Spent some time with the tablet today, got it back up and running, and it's on 5.1.1.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Xperifirm finally showed it on my end. Fails flashing the last part. Tablet boots to a screen that says software update failed. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
Try re downloading and remaking the FTF, also make sure your on the latest version of Flashtool.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Tried on 3 different pc's using 4 different cables. Same result. Flashed back to the leaked 5.0.2. Guess I'll wait for an ota...:(

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Thanks for sharing that.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
Your welcome. Did it work?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dex9mm:
OK if your using flashtool to to update then it's likely you are overwriting the custom recovery with the stock one from the ftf so you should flash twrp again after flashing a ota then I would recommend flashing a prerooted firmware from the general section
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platynumx:
Yes it did.first try. Thanks again
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cammy253:
Did this file end up working for you? I was on the 5.1.1 and then rooted and later ended up bricking my tablet...the only ftf file I can find is the 5.0.2 internal version and the 4.4.4 kit kat. I've tried making ftf files but whatever I get off xperifirm never shows in the available files box when I'm trying to decrypt. Do you by chance have a stock official 5.1.1 ftf file that is ready to flash? I'm going insane here lol I wish I could make my own files
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
Yes, and for the user above your post that I shared it for.

[Wear OS General] RngrYogi:
Hi everyone!

I wanted to check in and see if anyone knows that it may be possible to get Play Music on our speaker sporting watches at least with All Access streaming as now we have all the tools to do so including wifi and speaker support and would love to be able to stop having to sync specific albums to the storage all the time to use it. This would be a pretty popular app and I would definitely pay for one like this.

Anyone else think they would enjoy a mod or app like this to play music. I think spotify can do this on the watch but I don't have a subscription to spotify and wanna stick with my google play music. :highfive:

I am currently on a Huawei Watch.
[Wear OS General] lekofraggle:
So, a quick off the cuff maybe may be in order...

Here is why...

First, those of us without speakers may not miss out on this either what with full Bluetooth support already here. :) ...

Second, we can already install apps using adb. We can also install those appsm to specific folders. This is easier with watches thatmplkug in through USB, but all wear watches support adb so installing the Google software is possible. We can probably install play music directly.

Third, though our watches do not all have native direct wifi support, many do, and I am guessing it is going to be supported by the 1.4 OS. However, even if it is not, if you install an app in your /system folder, it can access wifi directly as it needs.

Fourth, and here is where the good news ends... Google play music is not a stand alone app. It relies on Google play services, and they are to say the least, complicated. We have them on the watch to communicate to the phone, but not the full version. So, I have no idea how well the app will install, let alone work. Likewise, Google only allows developers to access certain libraries and play music has not released any (to my knowledge) for Wear other than the typical hooks for controlling your music.

So, all of this adds up to a maybe...

Hello,

I was trying to upgrade my phone to CM 13 and made a backup on TWRP. When the upgrade failed, I tried to restore the system to that backup but it is now stuck on a bootloop. When pressing the power and volume up button, it doesn't go into TWRP but rather directly into the cyanogenmod startup screen where it is stuck. (Unlike this thread: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/help-zenfone-2-stuck-bootloop-to-resolve-t3191035)

Is it safe to do the recent OTA update with a rooted Studio Energy 2?
[Blu Studio 5] lopestom:
Maybe....

If you have backups by your ROM.... So only you decide if you want update or no update.

Very users have brick with ROOTed device. So...UNROOT and you decide.
[Blu Studio 5] Vinotas:
Will this update that you posted here work with a rooted Blu Studio Energy 2?
[Blu Studio 5] lopestom:
I think no. Very users cannot update with ROOTed phone and/or have problems after update phone with ROOTed phone.

So is better make process to UNROOT and you decide if you want update.

That file is official bcoz was removed directly sdcard after download Wireless Update Fota application. The file wasn't modified.
[Blu Studio 5] AdelixLeingod:
I'm trying to get my BLU Studio Energy 2 to install the new wireless update after having rooted my phone using the guide here. In an attempt to get the update installed, I did a full unroot in SuperSU, flashed the original recovery ROM you posted, ran the "root integrity check" from the bootloader successfully, and wiped the cache. When I reboot my phone and try to do the wireless update, I still get the "Your system is damaged, wireless update is disabled" message. I even tried copying the original V12 update zip you posted to my phone and told it to do a local update. It behaved as though it was installing fine, but upon rebooting my phone, now in the wireless update screen, it shows my current version to be V05. Is there something else I'm missing?
[Blu Studio 5] lopestom:
My Energy 2 has V08 and not V05.

So rooted phones has files that change or modify the original files and update process know when users have ROOT!

When The users flash custom recoveries not backup stock ROM. The users go to ROOT immediately and it's "damaged" stock ROM.

If you not modify/delete any files from stock ROM so should ROOT process that not go update to V12!!
[Blu Studio 5] manueleduardo0320:
Stock ROM

Whenever you can upload the stock ROM, please do. I bricked my phone and need it. Thanks.

edit: To flash the stock recovery with SPFT don't I need a scatter file?
[Blu Studio 5] lopestom:
Good.

I have family and no excellent internet for upload that file!!

So.... Or you wait or you wail!

If you read my post so you read the link to Thread for TWRP that have scatter file!!
[Blu Studio 5] manueleduardo0320:
Ok, sorry for the rush. The link for the TWRP recovery is dead.

I found another scatter file for a custom recovery image. Can i use the one i found to flash the stock recovery to the device?
[Blu Studio 5] lopestom:
Okay. I'm looking for new link to TWRP.

Yes you can use the scatter file from ROOT thread!

Edit 04-07-2016: NEW file with backups (boot and system - without ROOT) for restore stock ROM using TWRP. Look on the post BACKUP made by Custom recoveries.
[Blu Studio 5] manueleduardo0320:
THANK YOU for the upload, but the link for TWRP is still down, need it for the ROM. Please update.

Also can you upload the preloader.bin file (about 100kb) for the Energy 2? I need it too.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VladPiero10:
Hello everyone, first of all I should point out that I am not only a newbie but also not very tech savvy!...

So, I have an Xperia Z2! (D6503) and I had it for 2 years but until a week ago, I had no problems at all with it, I was very happy with it.

But then, my battery started to drain extremely fast, in fact, with very very low usage, it would drain entirely within 5-8 hours.

So a friend recommended that I root my device so I can get rid of bloatware and other apps that might be doing the damage.

So doing some little research, I heard of Kingroot which I downloaded from this very website.

And everything was great, I used kingroot to stop over 258 autostart apps that I had!!! (and I had no idea they were doing that).

Then afterwards, from the same video tutorial that I used to install the kingroot app, it recommended that I install TITANIUM BACKUP!

Which I proceeded to install. And then I followed the video instructions, USB debugging was already turned on from installing Kingroot, so I went to backup/restore tab...

then as recommended in the video, I chose "Backup all user apps + system data". After the backup process, which took about 20-25 minutes...

and then when it was done, mostly everything was gone....

my wall paper was gone...everything was in dark, some of the applications were gone...all of my contacts, videos, photos, etc...mostly everything was gone...

When I opened some of the few apps that remained, it asked me to install it (the app)...

So I immediately panicked ....I went back to the app and chose the "restore option" and the first time I chose the "Restore missing apps plus all system data"

it then asked me to install one by one...every app and system data...But it still did not work...

So after it took me over 3 hours of doing that...I did all the other options (restore missing apps with data, restore all apps with data, and restore all system data) one by one...(doing app by app...system data by system data) and I should also mention that while doing this "installations" lots and lots of apps and system data failed to install...WHY? I have no idea obviously...apps and system data such as : WFD Service, Warrantytime Service, VPN Dialogs, USB Connectivity, Overheat Control, etc...etc...etc... over 100 of these things failed to install (which I have no idea what they are but if someone feels it would help if I mentioned them all...I will list them all)

I then proceeded to try the restore option using the Sony PC companion software...but after it did the "restore" and it asked me to restart the phone...

Everything was the same....all the same missing apps, video, etc... :(

So I spent all day doing this...and still I can't figure out how to recover my stuff ...Please if someone knows what can I do to fix it...please let me know... I can't afford to buy another phone...but most importantly...I want my stuff back like photos etc... :'/

Thank you and I am sorry for making this so long....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcoremildred:
OK, a few steps.

First, can you connect your phone to your pc in data mode to browse your sd-card? To recover your photos. Normally, they are located in a subfolder of DCIM on intern SD-card. (Also you may consider to back up your photos in the future or use a cloud service like Google Foto or Mega to backup them. Phones get lost or sometimes stolen too...)

Second thing is just a bit of information: the free version of titanium backup always askes you for every app you restore, this is normal. You have to pay 5$ or so to get the pro app which doesn't ask for every app.

When you succeed in restoring / backing up your photos and stuff (the backups from titanium-backup!!) you may just want to install a new rom / ftf firmware.

This can easily wipe your complete phone, so be sure to have everything backed up to your pc/cloud.

Search in the forum for the newest stock ftf (.264) and install it via flash tool. You will then have a stock Z2 with actual firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2759934

There are also pre-rooted stock firmwares available.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/ftf-cutomized-23-1-0-726-cda-1281-9809-t3082166

If you want to install a custom rom, you definitely want to try stock -based Roms first, so you don't have to play with your bootloader /DRM-keys. Some examples are SLiM-Rom, eXistenz Roms, Purex, Google-Style, Moonwalker Epidemic, Mr. SL rom ... (Be aware that slim-rom, contrary to SLiM-rom, is NOT stuck-based, it will soft brick your phone if you install it with bootloader locked.)

The only thing you then want to restore via titanium backup is probably your SMS and phone call history, they are in a seperate color like green.

For future use, there are apps like "sms backup and restore" which are less problematic than titanium backup in my opinion.

Titanium has some goodies like the possibility to create update.zip files and encryption of backups, but this is more like a pro feature, you sound like you don't really need titanium backup.
