Could you upload your modded version?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rocker00:
yes you can get root by flashing the same files in z3 thread its valid for z2 also.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ChobbyNS:
And how to flash ?

Because recovery is lost after flashing mm beta.

Can we flash immediately after flashing mm beta?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bojan1986819:
Did flash it over Lp without wipe. Also flashed 3 files for root. Everything is working perfectly. Even root is absolute ok. I am on locked bootloader.

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Yes you have to flash root files right after flashing MM without rebooting.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] soulaiman:
Honestly I don't know what you guys do when flashing to have all those issues.

I Have an unlocked Z2 D6503 with an unlocked bootloader. I had CM12.1 on the device and just wiped everything, flashed the zip from Twrp and everything went absolutely fine. Until now no crashes whatsoever just a weird graphical glitch when I ended a call.

Before I was running a custom rom I installed all the Ota Updates till 5.1.1

Edit: can it be that some of you guys are running some incompatible bootloader or baseband from another region? I know for sure that the Mm zip works with the baseband that is used here in Belgium because the Op and myself have Belgian Devices.

So after using flashtool 5 times today to go to 4.4.2 and gain root, flashing the zipps in many ways I give up...:(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jamesbdx:
Well that's good news... I'll flash myself a rooted zip tomorrow, that way when I'll get the next beta update prompt (yes, for those that haven't followed I'm one of the real beta testers) I'll be able to extract the updater.bin again and hand it to Niaboc79 to let him work his magic; unroot before another update comes out again (if Sony do others) and we'll keep doing this until the official rollout for everyone begins. Now that niaboc79 knows the steps to follow, I suppose the rooted zips he'll make will arrive quicker too ?

So, it shows how impatient some can be when you read the thread in the general section...

I just hope Sony can't see my phone getting rooted evetytime and blacklist my imei from the beta program ? They obviously can monitor alot of things just by looking at how only people from the countries they announced (me living in Spain and having a spanish Z2 got me into the program), that had asked for the invites to the beta program, managed to get the update originally. Please Sony, be kind with me...

One question [MENTION=1976871]jamesbdx[/MENTION] does adb pull /data/media/0/recovery/*.bin will work without root ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jamesbdx:
No it doesn't, which is why I'm going to flash the rooted zip tomorrow. Then I'll just download the update (like I did from 5.1.1) when Sony sends it to me and pull it with adb, unroot and install the update.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:

there are much roms which ends in a bootloop, after restarting from recovery.

turn off your z2 with the red powerbutton.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

Requesting you to have a look on this bootloop issue as soon as the OS finishes boot. We cannot go beyond lockscreen. While I am on lockscreen, pull down works (it shows notification toggles) but if I press any toggle, phone restarts. If I long press power button, Power menu is shown. But if I press anything on that power menu like Power Off etc, phone restarts.

If installation with wipe, then First time setup screen is shown for language selection. As soon as I press language selection dropdown box or the checkbox below that, phone goes to bootloop. So basically if I press any UI element, phone goes into bootloop.

One more thing, if charger or USB is connected while phone is booting then phone directly goes to bootloop without showing any screen. No mobile network at all.

EDIT :

Came to know from a Chinese member that a flashable zip is being distributed for their devices which fixes this bootloop problem for some extent. That flashable zip basically has a boot.img and baseband files. Can we get a flashable zip of baseband files from working devices please?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] LAKAME_MAN:
Isn't there a .zip file you have to flash to get Xposed? Do we have a working recovery for MM now, or are you guys flashing Xposed right after flashing this MM beta before rebooting?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dilesh Perera:
yes correct .

i have flashed MM ROM and RICDefeat , byeselinux_flashable , BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-systemroot and xposed-v80-sdk23-arm
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] linkazoid:
Flash all zips before exiting recovery. For the time being, it isn't possible to enter recovery again after updating.

Based on how quickly they've achieved root, I doubt recovery will be very far away.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zevzek:
I think there's no working recovery yet, and yes, they are flashing xposed after flashing beta without a reboot
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
1. Installed Spanish stock 5.1.1 rom

2. Did root with latest kingroot.

3. installed xzdual recovery.

4. Then installed mm 6.0.1 beta zip

5. Then installed Z2 6.0.1fix.zip without reboot.

6. Then Reboot.

7. Done ;) :)

Can i flash straight the mmzip after wipe all?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
Yes. Its working perfectly.. I didn't counter any bug yet.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AlanDS:
Yes you can proceed directly. However, if your phone is not from Europe then you may get bootloop (like we got). In that case, you need to flash FIX zip soon after flashing MM zip before rebooting device.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] soulaiman:
Now that all is sorted we can hopefully work on getting Twrp booting :)

A little question: we don't have recovery so how are we supposed to flash the zip when a new version comes out?

With this fix it works as advertised. Battery life seems worse and there are deep sleep issues. Double tap to wake does not work when device is in deep sleep but works otherwise. Also camera preview is tottaly blacked out when you wake up the camera with shutter key when in deep slip but it take a photo when shutter is pressed. Its fast but not faster than 5.1. Camera has new 2.0 interface a bit confusing if you ask me. Animations are set to be faster. Everything else seem to be working fine. No stamina. No autorotate on homescreen. Video stabilisation seems to be a bit weaker and in 30 fps it looks a bit jerky. If you activate system tuner and then turn it off there is no bat percentage, you can bring it back only by activating sys tuner again. Looking forward to fixing these deep sleep issues, overall its better to stay on 5.1 for now if youre into rock solid stability.

Edit, found a camera bug fix, you need to exclude the camera app from battery optimisation in battery optimisation settings and camera works fine afterwards. Still waiting for double tap to wake fix.

It is clearly stated in the OP that Recovery is still not working with MM on LB, if you want your recovery back you have to stay with Lollipop at the mean time, so you have re-flash Lollipop firmware .ftf , re root and Install recovery.

I fear that camera raw would reveal the flaws in the sensor and that it could be the main reason for Sony not to include it.
