Alright but how is it different that what I came from? I came from 5.1.1 with recovery and all that razzmataz, flashing MM, bootfix and those 3 'root files' from the other thread.

I didnt indeed just try to flash the recovery in fastboot, didn't change anything.

Just wanna make sure before I go ahead and wipe my phone again..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raolleel:
Its very easy. Normally the Recovery on the Z2 is stored in the FOTAKernel as part of a Kernel and it's ramdisk. This needs to be done, because Sony did not implement a recovery-partition. But this does not work with the MM-beta (at least until now).

Sony made a new bootloader (with recovery partition) and supplied it with the release of the .264-firmware.

But if you install the .264 via twrp the bootloader will not be updated.

So you need to flash it via flashtool

If you flashed the new bootloader, you can install a recovery to the recovery partition via fastboot.

This partition will not be touched if you install new roms (like on most phones).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Kocane:
Ah, good to know. I just did the MM install according to your guide and it works a charm, thanks bro :)

http://dl.myself5.de/sirius/Recovery/ here it is. There is TWRP_MR_new_BL.img. It is the only one recovery that is working for me good in recovery partition. If you have new bootloader just flash it to recovery partition if no flash .264 and then to recovery partition. Hope it helps :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chawlasrijan:
Hii

Can you please tell me how to flash the recovery in the recovery partition, I've tried using flashtool to fastboot it as a kernel, is it that what i'm supposed to do !?

Thanks

EDIT: Got it working, was just tapping the Vol Down button, apparently, we have to keep it pressed :)

Thank You man, Your method worked for me too :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Thieuke:
Cool, so it is possible. Nice. I'm happy for now without recovery. Will put the recovery there when flashing the RC (if there will be one) or the final version.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] dodomanhia:
Problem loading

After flashing xposed, my phone keeps "updating apps" what should I do?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
So I have to flash the new BL twrp while being on 264 then flash the MM or flash it being on MM? in order to have the recovery?

Sorry I didn't quite understand it. Also if I do this will I lose all my data?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raolleel:
Yes you need to flash it while beeing on 264 (but only if you installed 264 via flashtool). You will lose your data, when installing 264 via flashtool.

Keep in mind this only works with unlocked bootloader!

Guys please share super user mod for the mm beta,I need that.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mikey94:
Installed the zip from first post and thought "uuuh marshmallow". After booting up, i thought... wtf it is 100% like LP... After 1 hour i saw, that im not on MM but on LP :eek:

Flashed MM Beta now and everything is working fine for me.

- Recovery is working mit M5 TWRP for new BL (You have to keep volume down pressed)

- Double tap 2 wake is working fine with M5 Settings App. (I think it's just a permission problem for the settings app, cause M5 Settings needs root to work.)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Oh I haven't installed 264 via flashtool. Installed it from the prerooted flashable file.

There's no way to have recovery with LB?

Re-install whatsapp maybe? I have whatsapp and profile pictures work just fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
I have MM perfectly installed with root and xposed framework, some old data was causing few problems so I did a factory reset.

Now the thing is that snapchat won't login as xposed framework is present.

My question is that can I flash xposed uninstaller/installer.zip through some root software i.e FlashFire?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vchiotelis:
Can you post here the link for the recovery that you use and the version of the recovery?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] napyaninja:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Shady_BlackSn0w:
Yes but you need D6502 patch
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Noshirwaan:
What is the procedure for that ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] o0 Matt 0o:
I dint have recovery so;

1. I downloaded the correct xposed,

2. read the install script,

3. Copied files to correct location that the script would do,

4. Set the permissions of the file that the script would do.

Reboot and xposed is installed and works.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Can you please explain a bit more with the link of xposed?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] napyaninja:
recover from http://dl.myself5.de/sirius/Recovery/TWRP_MR_new_BL.img worked for me !! just flashed from fastboot . To go into recovery mode power off the phone then press power+vol down untill sony logo appears then release power button with volume down pressed ..

can you please elaborate about the process for installing xposed ? flashing zip is just giving me update binary errors
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
It worked because maybe you have unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] napyaninja:
yes i have UBL ...do i have to be in LB to install xposed ? O.o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
No, no.

Now as you've the recovery

Just simply

Reboot -> into TWRP -> Flash:

1/ xposed-v80-sdk23-arm.zip

( http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....zip?key=gB0TeS8GtH9kBGDAaNmJIw&ts=1458799904 )

Exit TWRP

Boot into MM 6.0.1, it will take some time as it'll optimize applications,

2/ install file XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk to use Xpose

( http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....apk?key=JLUWm8_-w9Yf2CZyWvjMiQ&ts=1458800003 )
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] napyaninja:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jijishthomas:
anybody tried this with z2 D6502 ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] o0 Matt 0o:
Below is the relevant portion of the script:

Just extract the files from the zip, copy to the correct location and set the correct permission.

Explained:

This line:

install_nobackup /system/xposed.prop 0 0 0644

Copies xposed.prop file from the zip to /system and sets 0644 permission

This line:

install_nobackup /system/framework/XposedBridge.jar 0 0 0644

Copies XposedBridge.jar file from the zip to /system/framework/ and sets 0644 permission

This line:

install_and_link /system/bin/app_process32 0 2000 0755

Copies app_process32 file from the zip to /system/bin/ and sets 0755 permission.

Continue the process for all files. Copy file and set permission. This process bypasses the if statements in the zip so make sure you have the right file. What's the worst that can happen? Bootloop.

Update:

Ignore this line, not relevant for us:

also just got the old kernel, so it seems Sony is not delivering the actual one at the moment.

AOSP is on 3.10, so are it's derivates. Well, actually not ALL derivates, assuming Sony's ROM also is based on AOSP.

I am not sure, what new things got introduced with 3.10, often it is really better to stay with old stable kernel.

Now as we got this release, could we all list out what are the pros and cons of this build compared to last 5.1.1 264 build please?

I could gather following cons by reading these posts :

1) No root and recovery for locked bootloaders

2) WiFi is weaker than 5.1.1

3) Problems in Double touch to wakeup

4) Themes are not working

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Milind Sidhu:
actually i flashed the lollipop ftf file given at first. so there is no service providers option in mobile network.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptmaniac:
I did the same and no problems, flashed .264 ftf with full wipes, rooted, installed xzdr, reboot to recovery, full wipes, install MM beta as described in op.

Absolutely no problems here, network search is working fine too, check screenshot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Same here, I got the bootloop and had to repeat the whole process and flashed framework before rebooting to system from recovery.

After the instalation of a few modules when I restarted, it automatically restarted twice and then booted successfully but now it says no framework present
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] o0 Matt 0o:
Unzipped the zip to /system so you'll have /system/system then changes permissions then moved files then reboot. Don't reboot until you have moved all the files.

If you do it correctly it works. That's all the zip file does
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
So I have extracted the zip to /system

Then moved the META INF Folder to

/ (the main directory)

System files:

(Bin to /system/bin)

(Framework to /system/framework)

(lib to /system/lib)

And have replaced them.

Rebooted but nothing

What am I missing here?

EDIT: Tried doing it again but in the process got bootloop, maybe permissions issue?

EDIT: I tried it again with root explorer, placed/replaced and set the permissions file by file and step by step. As soon as I came to /system/lib files, bootloop. Help please.

ReEdit:

So basically, I got myself stuck in bootloop for about 4 to 5 times and at last in the end, with the help of you people, finally installed the framework manually.

1) I unzipped the zip file to /system/System(creating a new folder inside system)

2) Changed the permissions using root explorer of each file as explained above in this

install_nobackup /system/xposed.prop 0 0 0644

install_nobackup /system/framework/XposedBridge.jar 0 0 0644

install_and_link /system/bin/app_process32 0 2000 0755 ubject_r:zygote_exec:s0

install_overwrite /system/bin/dex2oat 0 2000 0755 ubject_r:dex2oat_exec:s0

install_overwrite /system/bin/oatdump 0 2000 0755

install_overwrite /system/bin/patchoat 0 2000 0755 ubject_r:dex2oat_exec:s0

install_overwrite /system/lib/libart.so 0 0 0644

install_overwrite /system/lib/libart-compiler.so 0 0 0644

install_overwrite /system/lib/libart-disassembler.so 0 0 0644

install_overwrite /system/lib/libsigchain.so 0 0 0644

install_overwrite /system/lib/libxposed_art.so 0 0 0644

3) Moved/Placed/Replaced the files, firstly of

i)xposed.prop in /system

ii)xposedbridge in /system/framework

iii)bin files in /system/bin

iv)selected both app_process32 and app_process32_exposed and changed their permissions (making a link)

v)finally replaced lib files EXCLUDING libart.so

vi)in the end, replace the libart.so.

Open xposed, it'll say 'framework is installed but not active' - Just reboot and all done :)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Milind Sidhu:
D6502 i think because the flashtool shows so,but in the device after flashing rom it shows D6503. I'll try flashing baseband via recovery but i can't find the baseband for mm version. And i'm from India.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ptmaniac:
omg why don't you guys read the threads before attempting to flash your phones??? the ftf and mm beta rom posted in the OP are for D6503 not for D6502 :| and why didn't you mentioned your phone model before too? since you flashed d6503 rom it's normal your phone now shows d6503 in system info.

The mm beta rom works with D6502 but you need to flash the D6502 baseband fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65891352&postcount=354

If you have a recovery working just flash the zip, if you don't have recovery start the process all over again (use a d6502 lp ftf from your region) and flash the fix immediately after flashing the mm zip...

No problem, thankfully sony's phones don't brick easily and are not hard to recover or you could have ended with a brick.

Always be sure of your phone model and software before attempting to flash, will save you a lot of problems later.

The z2 has a little "plastic flap" under the microsd card with the device model and some more info, if you didn't know you can check it there too.

See this picture if you can't locate it.
