Yes, I have a D6503. Tried reverting to flashtool 0.9.13.0 but still reboot as soon as I press anything on the welcome screen.

Does this matter? I can't change unknown source or usb debugging if I can't boot properly.

"16/003/2016 11:03:14 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings"

I also tried to update with PC Companion but the phone won't stay connected in flashmode -- it connects then almost instantly disconnects.

CanI flash a recovery image with flash tool? I could try the bootloop fix (released the day I after I originally flashed) or use the twrp backup on my sdcard. I cannot boot into recovery (holding power button and pressing volume up or down many times).

Or make my own ftf and include bootloop fix?

EDIT: I was able to flash an old 5.X ftf I had. There are a lot of files missing in the 6.0 ftf compared to the 5.X ftf.

I had a strange problem with GPS accuracy after flashing this ROM.

Problem: information from GPS/location service did not reach applications (Google Maps and Ingress in my case), although "GPS Status & Toolbox" app can show the exact coordinates in a few seconds (really fast imho). Ingress game shows the map with my location, but it keep saying "Location inaccurate" even if the location was accurate.

I used AppOps before update to control the access of applications to the resources (like media, contacts, storage, location...) and after update, this app mysteriously vanished from the phone...

Solution: I reset the preferences for all apps in Settings - Applications - Reset app preferences and the GPS started to operate normally again!

Hope this helps others with similar issue.

Can I install the DMR Function.zip after the whole process? because i would need to make a 3-wipe(factory reset,cache and dalvik cache)

from 4.4.4->6.0.1 easiest way

Hello all. Sorry for such a long post but have to admit I am a bit confused.

I am now at 23.0.1.A.0.167 (quite old I know...), customization 1282-0218_R1B, TWRP v2.8.3.0, locked BL, root, some apps also using L2SD app, xposed, and want to get to MM now.

I don't care about my data - have TB Pro backup, have done the TWRP backup of kernel, system and data - so want to have a clean MM (+root+TWRP+xposed).

I have understood that it should be ok to flash any .570 customization currently available, e.g. RU or US as currently there is no .570 for my current Easter Europe, correct?

My understanding is also that I need first go LP, right?

Can I use Sony PC companion to upgrade to LP 5.1.1 (which is currently offered in PC companion)? Then probably install more recent TWRP+root...?

Or maybe more general question: What is the correct way to go to MM rooted with TWRP and xposed?

I am a bit lost with the part to get my Z2 (D6503) into the status as required per step 1) of this guide.

Just short guidance will be helpful, I can follow guides, but as I was rooting my Z2 almost year ago I lost track a bit. Any info really appreciated. Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 General] rakeshbro:
Tried the second method with my own flashable rom createdw with FRFC. Root is not working and also recovery is not there. Switching back to 5.1.1. But have to agree mm is fast :p Will try again if anyone release stable root for it. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 General] hexanova:
I got the same question. When I just flash without doing anything else, I got the x-reality/bravia engine working.

So is there any point for trying to flash the DRM restore? I tried to do the following order:

flashable > drm restore > se linux > RICDefeat > bootloop fix > xposed

At this point I have no idea if actually that DRM restore changed anything. Any idea?

(I have unlocked bootloader obviously) :)

The title of the thread says pre-rooted and TWRP, so therefore yes. Backup first tho, it's in your interest.

Same here. I also tried to flash busybox 1.24 while i was in twrp, but still same problem. I think we have to wait until NUT updates his DualRecovery for MM.

Thanks,

I meant if you did include any SuperSu and/or some kind of Recovery flashable file in PRFcreator? When I tried to make my own prerooted zip I included SuperSu 2.71 but after flashing it is not rooted anymore. So I was wondering how did you make yours prerooted flashable.zip?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] petrmelis:
I already tried that, but it did not work for me. Still same issue. twrp is not installed :(
[Xperia Z2 General] freaky2xd:
Hey!

I was only able to accsess to recovery directly after installing it for the first time! now i cannot boot into it and reinstalling it doesnt help! i have busybox pro v1.24.1 in /xbin/ installed! i really need toi get into the twrp because i had to login into snapchat before flashing the v82 xposed framework!

[Xperia Z2 General] medalogii:
no one replied me :confused: , do I have to go through the same steps if I'm already on beta .486 rooted and with twrp ??
[Xperia Z2 General] petrmelis:
working twrp

OK. I found the solution for those who has problem to boot into recovery after flashing prerooted .570

I followed the instruction about uninstalling previous version of recovery from here

and then mount System as RW by following this instruction here

After all this I run install.bat from Z2_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr folder and its all went fine this time without any errors. Now I can finally reboot to TWRP again.

Thanks :good:

Edit: The only way to reboot to TWRP for me is Power+Vol.Down. QuickBoot app or Twrp Manager app does not boot to recovery :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] petrmelis:
Its up to you. Beta is beta. fw .570 is official release.
[Xperia Z2 General] rakeshbro:
At-last on MM with root just did a full wipe, And flashed my own pre-rooted rom.

[Xperia Z2 General] elitephantompro:

didn`t work for me :(

unfortunately the recover doesn´t show up, so i will have to try another flashable zip file!

is there a fix for it ? can Sony csutomer service help me and how much it does cost

im almost the same, but i can flash:

unplug usb, power off device

press (only) volume down, without releasing it, plug in usb
[Xperia Z2 General] petrmelis:
if you are in bootloop you need to unplug usb from your phone, turn phone off by press and hold power and vol.up button until its vibrate and goes off. Than open Flashtool on PC and start the flashing procedur and than on your phone hold vol.down while you plugin usb. You should be in flashmode....good luck.

[Xperia Z2 General] Monipeev:
You don't need to turn on USB Debugging to use Flashtool. Just turn phone off and continue the steps with Flashtool in which the program will guide you.

Hold Volume down and connect USB cable in the same time to the phone, Flashtool will recognise Flashmod and continue with flashing.

Guide on Updating SuperSU

For those of you who wants to update SuperSU (or may have encountered problems such as getting unrooted), here is how to do it:

Reboot into TWRP recovery (Restart+Spam Vol-down when green LED lights up on boot) and go to TWRP recovery terminal (Advanced>Terminal Command). If green LED is not lighted up on boot, it probably means TWRP recovery is not properly installed. See this thread for fix: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/mm-6-0-1-twrp-recovery-t3364871

Select root directory at terminal (Press "Select" when you see the root folder displayed) and type the following command:

echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu

Install the SuperSU zip file as per usual and you're done!

If SuperSU gets remove after doing the steps above, re-install the SuperSU apk with the same version as zip.

Link to latest SuperSU apk: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/chainfire/supersu/

Link to latest SuperSU zip can be found at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
[Xperia Z2 General] theinfernox:
Chainfire's original version install SuperSU in system-less mode by default, while the included SuperSU is modified to install in system mode. System-less mode does not seem to work though, so I included a "guide" above on how to update Chainfire's original SuperSU.

Unfortunately for now, yes.

Edit: You can run it once, so long as you do it at least once after a factory reset. If you do re-encounter a similar error, try typing this command again.

Hello,

My wifi sometimes does not connects automatically.

In the wifi settings, I disabled the "kepp wifi on" setting, because I do not need continouos connection. Bit when I wake up the phone, it ahould connect to the wifi network, sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't. Of course, network is the same home network. In the wifi settings I see the available wifi access points, but I have to click on the network to connect. But sometimes, it connects automatically when I wake up the screen

I have a problem, my Kaiser connects to my WiFi Router which is a Linksys WRT54GR. And then after 10 seconds or (sometimes 30 seconds) I have no datacom. I am still connected though but no data is being sent or received. If I turn the WiFi off and then on again on my kaiser then I am again able to communicate for about 30 seconds and then it stops again. Does anyone recognise the symptoms ?

I have tested the WiFi Kaiser connection with my LinkSys WAG54GS and gives me no problem, works fine...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vanstra:
That's not the experience I have.

I use a Linksys WRT54GL router with Hyper-WRT firmware.

I've no problems at all.

The connection is stable and fast even with the slider totally to the right (max. battery save).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
Well...

I have tryed different channel.

My probblem is still in place when I stand right next to the router and have a full reception

I do not loose the connection it just does not send & receive any data, but the connection is there all right...

Hyper WRT firmware... I once flashed my old (very old) linksys router with one of those things and the router died on me, how safe is it now and do you have any recomendations?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vanstra:
Do you have the DHCP server enabled on your router ?

When disabled you have to enter manually an ip address on your TytnII within the same ip range.

Otherwise you can't send and receive data.

Furthermore this looks like a DNS problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
Vanstra,

I know now that it is a DNS problem... My DHCP is on and now I also set the WiFi on the Kaiser to best performance... I have proper connection now. I did have to reboot my Server as it is the primary DNS in my network. Well so far so good. Strange only that I have 2 laptops one desktop and an XBOX and they all functioned perfectly all the time...
