Hello plz help i flashed the latest 570 build in sony xperia z2 d6502 3G version. version Everything is working fine but camera shutter is not working i am unable to click images plz help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ghostofcain:
OK, a bit more time to play around with things and I have to say all is good. Had issues with Titanium being unable to read SD card, but a little persistence with the settings allows it to read the SD, but couldn't write to original folder but at least I was able to restore my data. A nice tip with adoptable storage is to partition your SD card allowing you to use part of it as adoptable and the other for removable

I'm about to throw away my Z2

Hey there

Sorry if I'm writing my problem in the wrong thread (If it is so, please guide me to the right thread.)

My problem started from 7 months ago; When I flashed my phone for the first time with 4.4.2. (The reason for flashing was that my phone (running lollipop) glitched badly and I couldn't work with it.) Then, I updated my OS to 5.1.1 via PC companion.

After a while, my phone glitched and rebooted itself and got stuck in boot-animation and kept restarting. I thought it was because an app interfering with OS. After a lot of trial and error, I found out that there's something wrong with my external microSD card. I formatted it and that problem didn't occur again (with those exact steps).

Howerver, I can't use Lollipop and Marshmallow ROMs anymore!! Whenever I flash 5.0.2, 5.1.1 or 6.0.1, my D6503 phone can't boot after 2-3 days.

(It's worth mentioning that my phone functions normally with Kitkat).

A few days ago, I decided to install a custom ROM. So, I flashed 4.4.4, rooted my phone with Kingroot (without unlocking my bootloader), installed dual Recovery (TWRP+Philz Touch) and then, installed ExisteZ Marshmallow, hoping this change would solve the issue. But it didn't.

I'm really desperate. The only option I've got left is to flash 4.4.4 and continue using my phone with a kinda obsolete ROM! but I don't want to!

Does anyone have any suggestion to solve this absurd problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 23Six:
Did you restore app/system data? If you haven't I recommend using stock 6.0.1 with only safe apps from the play store. No root apps, xposed modules, system tweaks.

If possible unlock (and optionally relock but no need to) your bootloader in order to totally wipe everything before starting fresh. Before you unlock you may want to back up DRM keys.

1. Unlock BL

2. Flash .314 KK ftf using flashtool

3. Root and recovery using the install.bat file method (as opposed kingroot)

4. Wipe in recovery.

5. Flash .570 MM .zip recovery + bootloop fix in post #1.

Hello OP, can I roll back from official MM to LP with your or any tft?

TIA.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DrCenturio:
Hey everyone...

Did anyone notice RAM issues?! Ever since I installed MM n I can't run more than 3 or 4 apps simultaneously without everytime returning to them in recents menu to get them in foreground, only to have them restart, if it's a chrome page it reloads, if it's fb it gets me to the top again... I tried disabling battery optimization to no avail, also checked ram from running services in developer settings n there don't seem to be any memory leak or overuse by some particular app..

Would much appreciate the help...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 23Six:
Install Kernel Auditor from the Play Store and grant it root access. In the app, go the 'Low Memory Killer' tab and select 'Light' or 'Very 'Light' and enable the settings to auto apply on boot. This will fix multitask issues. Enables me to have several apps run without refresh. If you want the values to be the same as they were in LP, Google 'minfree values z2 xda' and you should find an xda post where one user noted them.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] stamina dims the display, so like u said it should be kernel related things to change, or its like that and sould get down until it work normal.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
It must dim the display, like the battery saver, but it must do a lot more like reduce cpu frequency, turn off bravia engine,...

Actually without the right kernel, it causes more issue than gain. I have been able to disable the kernel related parts inside the stamina code. So we can use the beta rom without issue.

Just received the OTA no change log tho

Changes I noticed till now

March security Patches

Added microphone noise suppression option

Bug with phone app has been fixed (when you call someone and hang up quickly and then re call again this person again it takes a while to understand that you did press call again that has been fixed)

For an update around 200 MB I really don't know what else has been fixed or changed

I really wanted a new boot animation tho

If someone else noticed or found something please share it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] OSI007:
Lol...I'm using the N preview boot animation since Sony wants us to stick with the old animation.

BTW did you update your phone over the ROM on this thread ? because I'm using this rooted zip and the update still pops up on my device.

Can you tell me what the Bootloop fix actually does? There are so many files in there, where I wonder why they are needed ??

Aren't bootloop fixes usualy just small scripts and not 50+MB files ? :D

These are drivers ;)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SE_iCEQB:
And where do they come from? Why do the ones from a freshly created .ftf cause a bootloop?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] niaboc79:
Because this isn't a flash done by a flashtool ;)

I am not forcing you to flash anything.

This is no criticism or anything like that, I just try to gather information :)

In the PRFTool Thread there is one guy that just used the latest FTF + RecRoot and flashed it w/o any problems.

Then there are people who say they had a bootloop and that you have to use this bootloop fix, so I was wodnering why the files inside the TFT cause problems and what this bootloop actually fixes.

Did you wipe your device?

Here is the process from Z3 forum:

Install:

1. Enter TWRP Recovery

2. Backup > Kernel Image, System and Data (optional)

3. Install > ..... filename.....zip

4. Home > Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset (optional, but it is a good practice)

5. Reboot (this might take a while) - If you receive this message: Your device does not appear to be rooted... Press "Do Not Install" buttom

6. Enjoy!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raolleel:
It boots great when coming from stock rom WITH WIPE !

The only problem is, that I haven't worked out how to install a recovery or get "real" root.

It's doable to get temporarily root with Kingoroot, but you can not flash recovery or something more important

So .. its worthless

Tried a couple of times, first no wipe then a couple of installes with wipe, internal wipe and MM installs, tries to update NFC firmware, sometimes succeeds but after 5 to 10 secs phone reboots no matter what I do. When it reboots a couple of times it starts to bootloop until new FTF flash, root recovery and still the same story. Will wait for official OTA, too much hastle for an incremental update. But thanks for your effort guys.

I went back to D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_Customized FR.ftf with flashtool (full wipe) then installed XZDualRecovery 2.8.26 with PC, and then flashed MM ... it's working like a charm now :good:

Also reboot if the phone sets up on charge (on dock or via usb doesnt matter). I'm a bit tired now. Will wait for solution

Thanks [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] for this awesome marshmallow flashable zip! Everything is perfect! (except the little bugs of beta). I use this method to install this firmware:

1) i download marshmallow flashable firmware and spanish prerooted of the thread.

2) i put those on external sd

3) i reboot in twrp recovery and in wipe,advance wipe, i wipe everithing except external sd.

4) i flash spanish prerooted

5) without any reboot, i flahsh marshmallow beta firmware

6) finally i reboot the Phone

The first boot is very slow and after that the Phone is a little slow...but after you configure everithing, is very fast! I think it needs to settle in those moments. And this firmware is awesome! Finally superior auto is fantastic with this update!

I hope my experience help someone. I don't have any freeze...everything is perfect!
