Hi, is it okay if I didn't do the install.bat with busybox? I weren't able to do the install.bat because cmd says "'adb is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file"

So far I couldn't go into MSC mode but MTP is okay.

*EDIT*

Nvm, I found the solution. Just some windows error, and everything is working in order. Thanks for this.

[Xperia Z2 General] kanej2006:
I have one annoying bug so far. ''Update Google Play Services'' keeps popping up and displaying a triangle on the upper left hand corner.

Any way to solve or disable the message?

Lastly, is there any available sound mod for Marshmallow to increase the sound? Otherwise what paths must I change in the ''Mixer Paths'' to increase speaker and mic volume?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] adop40:
Normally if you click on the triangle you can install the latest Google Play services in Google Play.

The only sound mod I've found is this one in Android development section.

[Xperia Z2 General] kanej2006:
Clicking on the triangle made no difference. However, I solved the issue by reformatting, wiping dalvic/cache and re-flashing the rom from scratch.

With regards to the sound mod you pointed out, it may have increased headphone volume but not the loudspeaker volume. :(

When playing movies, music or games the volume has to be turned almost to the max to get decent enough sound...

I was looking for a mod that boosts all volume. There are many for Kitkat & Lollipop but sadly none I could find for Marshmallow.

Thanks anyway for the help.
[Xperia Z2 General] adop40:
Good to hear that you solved it.

I hope that some of the devs who make usually those sound mods will release a version for MM to increase the speaker sound also.

Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 General] kanej2006:
It'll happen soon, just a matter of time! However, it seems not that simple since I manually edited many settings in the mixer_paths with no result. :(

That said, I have emailed several other modders requesting for a Marshmallow compatible sound mod that we may flash via recovery.

Previously on Lollipop 5.1.1 I was using ''Project PXBA 2.0'' sound mod which was FANTASTIC! Playing movies, music and games sounded great on the stereo speakers, loud and clear. I can only hope they release a Marshmallow update!

@ adop40, I have one more question, something I did before but forgot how!

Using Titanium backup, I'm attempting to remove bloatware such as Email, File Commander, Music, Video, etc...

As normal I'm able to disable them. However, they are taking space for nothing and I'm never going to use them. When removing the above apps, they do not go and even when rebooting they remain on the phone.

How do I fully remove bloat using Titanium backup without them reappearing?

Thanks bro.

But I got a question related to the xposed, MM 6.0 and 1 module.

I know it is a bit of an offtopic, but still 6.0 related.

I had gem xperia launcher module to configure the dock to have 7 columns instead of the default 5.

There is no working version for 6.0 and I am wondering if there is any other workaround (buldin or not) to get the 7 columns again (without changing dpi) ?

I'd try it out and see if that works. Make sure you also have the fix. I just did mine using [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] dual recovery. TWRP was 2.8.7.0. I flashed the Rom, rebooted and got bootloop so I flashed the fix and everything is peachy. Will add the apps I need tomorrow.
[Xperia Z2 General] fertsch:
You have the D6503 right? So it should work cause thats the .ftf the whole guide is based on(im using it myself and it works perfectly + its sonys official rom with nothing costumized) use a flashtool tutorial to make sure you dont make anything wrong :)

It'll work because the flashable.zip includes the whole .ftf + supersu root but dont forget to flash the bootloopfix.zip
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
OP, do you experience any bootloops at all at this point? And eventually what xposed modes are you using? My observations so far is that most of the bootloops I had were related to a little outdated but supposed to work xposed mods. I am currently flashing again and will continue testing.
[Xperia Z2 General] fertsch:
I havn't experienced ANY bootloops yet, but I don't use many Xposed apps either....

My Xposed apps (currently) are: Lucky Patcher, Amplify, Youtube AdAway

EDIT: [MENTION=4496149]hexanova[/MENTION] which do you use, so I can check if the bootloops occure on my phone too
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
Those which I use and seems to be safe for now are Gravity Box [MM], Greenify Xposed features and Chrome Pie.

Everything related to trying forcing immersive mode in games resulted on either the mods not working or bootloops.

The last mod which bootlooped me was Immersive Mode Forcer - Xposed

Also as I mentioned before, if you have any solution on working customizeable immersive mod for specific apps I will love you forever ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] fertsch:
AFAIK "Immersive Mode Forcer - Xposed" doesn't work correctly on MM.

I think there is a Gravity Box feature that toggles it :)
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
Thank for the clarification that it does not work.

Gravity box expand desktop seems not doing anything for me unfortunately. The damn soft keys are there in games or similar scenarios no matter what options i select. It works only in "Album" that way and it is the stock way. Used to work the same way in games for me on stock LP 5.1.1 .234 :(

I am sorry, I am going kinda offtopic here.
[Xperia Z2 General] fertsch:
It's Okay. This answer is probably the one you have to accept for now :/

Maybe there is an app right now which can enable immersive mode on mm w/o problems who knows, we just have to find it.

Recovery

For some reason I'm not able to reboot to recovery. I successfully flashed .570 firmware and obtained root. Everything works without the issue except recovery. After installing Z2_MM_Recovery its goes to recovery, but after system reboot I cannot boot to recovery again. QuickBoot app does not work either.

Can you help please?
[Xperia Z2 General] jcobreros:
No recovery

I might have done something wrong.

I followed the tutorial and flashed everything. I have Marshmallow working and I have root, but no recovery.

The first time I running install.bat from Z2_MM_TWRP_Recovery I had not fully installed BusyBox so it failed. I installed busybox after that, and install.bat copied lots of files, but I still have no recovery.

I've tried one more time and most lines report "File exists", except at the end I get a few errors:

[Xperia Z2 General] fertsch:
Did you install busybox like I said in the guide?
[Xperia Z2 General] jcobreros:
It just worked! I feel really stupid now. This is what happened.

First time, after flashing everything I went to the Play Store and installed BusyBox, but I didn't open it or anything. So the script failed, obviously.

Next, I opened BusyBox and let it do the Smart Install. Then tried the script again and I got the errors that I wrote about earlier.

What I've done now is open BusyBox and hit Install (instead of waiting for Smart Install to complete). This time the script has worked great!

I feel stupid but I hope this helps anyone with the same problem. So they don't repeat my mistake.

Thanks for everything!
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
Don't feel stupid, that way you gain knowledge. I flashed so many times and f***d up so many times during the past month that now I feel like a genius haha!

Forwarding to all, be really careful what xposed modes are you getting and if they are at least semi-supported by MM, otherwise you will get bootloops.

Also if you end in such situation, before deciding to wipe it all and start all over, try to first go into recovery and use the xposed uninstaller again, then boot normally (it should work most of the times, or at least it did for me) and uninstall the xposed module which you think crashed your system. Then reboot into recovery again and flash the xposed installer so you reactivate it.
[Xperia Z2 General] MrKaon:
I had the same problem TWRP didn't stick then I flashed latest Beta SuperSU 2.71 while I was on TWRP.

5. enable USB debugging and Unknown sources

6. SuperSu works fine, install BusyBoxPro 1.24.1 to /system/xbin (BusyBox Checker can see it there too)

7. connect the phone to PC and hit install.bat from Z2_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr

It goes to twrp but after I reboot to system again I cant boot to twrp anymore. QuickBoot does not reboot to twrp either.

When i check BusyBox now it shows older 1.22.1 version for some reason.

Please can you guys help me with this issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
Post is an answer to: petrmelis

The question might be super stupid, but I encountered this as I was used to dual recovery.

When selecting to boot into recovery it is not working for me as well, it just restarts the phone.

My question is, when you boot and try to enter.. Are you pressing volume up or volume down? :) because twrp is entered with volume down (I way used to volume up)

I used volume down and power, but I also tried install QuickBoot and other recovere boot apps, but its just restart the phone instead of going to recovery.

Installation of recovery also shows some errors of creating some folders etc. fails. I cant post it here because I'm running 5.1.1. for now.

Maybe have to wait for flashable recovery version for MM. Also SD card permission cant be change as easy as it was on KK and LL by editing platform.xml so I just wait.
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
I am guessing blindly, but may be it is possible to reinstall your adb drivers? I had similar issues before because of that, as I was doing things to so many phones on my own PC that in the end adb and sdk libraries were completely messed, could not even use flashtool because of that. If you have another PC in hand, and want to give this exact flash another try... try it. :)
