Just a question now,

Should I now try again flashing the prerooted flashable zip, wipe dalvik/cache and restart? Because the last time I did it, I waited for like 5 minutes or more and the flag just kept rolling so I thought it was stuck and flashed the bootloop fix which ****edup the phone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kokesh:
Close Flashtool, open Task manager and kill all ADB.EXE(32bit) tasks and try Flashtool again.

EDIT: I see you fixed it already.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Curtis7990:
Coming from Existenz v7, wiped everything in recovery, flashed ROM, root files and fix. Stucked in Sony logo. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Had the same problem.

Do not flash the root fix. Flash stock rom using flashtool, root and I hope you've the twrp backup.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Curtis7990:
That's what I'm doing right now. I can't boot in recovery anymore after the stuck, so it was the only solution. Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
Yes u can im using on d6502 but you will have to flash d6502 patch which was posted few pages before.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jijishthomas:

Did you install MM using this patch??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] MHN.1515:
Yes

Test, likely will result

Good luck

How can i get back root access?:confused:

I really would like to know the way to get root access after installing MM. I've looked, but haven't found it yet. The steps in the first post of this thread didn't work for me.

How can you get root access after flashing MM? I loose root acces after flashing, but don't know how to get root acces after that.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raaz13:
Flash 3 files after flashing Mm rom, then clear cache, if ur bootloader is locked then u have to repeat process as there is no way to root on locked bootloader once rom is flashed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Thieuke:

Hi guys,

I've UB, and I've flashed MM beta and BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip through the recovery on Lollipop 23.4.A.1.264 but I've got only MM without the root and I've lost the recovery too..

How can I get the root?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Thieuke:
You can put a recovery on the phone through fastboot. Then you should be able to install superuser I guess
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] IbRa7aM:
I've tried to put a recovery but it doesn't work.. and I had to reflash the Lollipop and then flash MM again :(

Have you solved your problem in post #423 ? I think we have the same problem.. What are the 3 files for UB?

Use locked bootloader method, it works on unlocked bootloader too, no need to flash any custom kernel.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sercangogercin:
Open the device in fastboot mode than use this command

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

then close the device.

-------------------------

For opening the recovery: press and hold the power and volume down button. When the device vibrates, release the power and keep holding volume down button and just wait ;)

Recovery link for the new bootloader (which has the recovery partition) : Download Here

Note: I don't know why but couldn't find the maker and the link of that recovery. I upload from my adb folder.

Sorry about that.

For sure they can do better with the 3200mah battery..

I used 4.4.2 kitkat for a day before upgrading to MM and it's a big difference in battery life..Up to 7hours on that firmware. Maybe the reason is because it's beta but I doubt they will repair it when official comes out.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Thieuke:
I did both methods, first UB method (got bootloop) and then LB method..... no root, what I got was a working ROM. That's something.

Since the rom is working, i'll go ask my questions in the other ROM.

By the way Niaboc, did a good job again on the ROM. Thank you very much!

I have install this rom 2 days now and works ok for me with LB. I'm facing some issue with the wfii(disconnect/reconnect) but not always.

Is there someone who has installed the recovery in this ROM version?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 5ageman:
The colored statusbar is app dependant, Sony did not include it in MM system apps, this may change in the final release. Most third party apps have colored statusbar, so it works, its just not enabled in system apps, for now I hope.

I got cca. 6h 30m of SOT in MM today with heavy use. Battery is OK, still miss stamina tho. Note that I have assertive display v1.3 enabled. Your usage may have been different, updating apps, system files, building cache. Let it settle and disable x reality if you watch a lot of videos and wifi scanning in bg.

BTW did anyone try to get SDFix to work? Because I can't seem to use TB to backup(not restore).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] hery.chemo:
To get sd card working in titanium backup and MM, you need to select the external sd as the default storage device,

Enough to just go to titanium backup preferences,

Backups location,

Select storage provider and document storage provider (Android 5.0 +),

In the new window, search the option show sdcard in menu,

After this select your sdcard on the left menu and press select,

Now just find your backups folder

Recovery with Unlocked Bootloader (only CLEAN flash)

So .. I found a way.

You need to flash the latest official Firmware (.264) via flashtool and delete userdata usw.

Than flash twrp to recovery ...

and than you can flash MM

after that you have recovery

Bootable with Power+Vol- pressed (and after the phone vibrates release power)

BTW. adb reboot recovery does not work with this recovery !

edit:

No ! Normal Recovery (FOTAKernel) Does not work
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] freaky2xd:
Nope. It doesn`t i in the video i tried but you this doesnt work. it worked without flashing any things after the BETA Zip!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DimitrijeDk:
Does the 5.1.1 FTF file contain recovery? Or does it only come with the flashable zip?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 5ageman:
It replaces the function of adaptive brightness toggle with assertive display function. When you enable adaptive brightness you have enabled assertive display.

Recovery for unlocked bootloader (TUT)

Be aware, that you can NOT flash the recovery without loosing your DATA.

Step1: Download XperiFirm

Step2: Download 23.4.A.1.264 firmware

Step3: Download flashtool (also download the patch and install those files)

Step4: flash the .264 firmware

Step5: reboot to bootloader

Step6: Download TWRP for UBL

Step7: fastboot flash Recovery

Step8: reboot and shutdown

Step9: hold volume down and power, until phone vibrates and then let go of the power button and keep pressing the vol down Button, till you're in recovery

step10: wipe and install MM-Beta

Now you have the latest MM Rom with Recovery
