Flash 5.0.1 then 5.6.5.

Never trust outdated and non-official proven videos on 3rd party source.

This ROM is 99.9% working fine.

For more info please consult OP, what you want to ask may have been listed there.

//Don't make me repeat the first statement again?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Bro, I also watched that video and that's what motivated me to root my device. And i guess at that time 5.0.1 was the only latest version so he had installed update in that order. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
"At that time". And not to trust does not mean you cannot follow it's instructions, rather than as a reference as sometimes it can be misleading.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] panzerox123:
Don't trust any instructions on YouTube ... Especially for sony devices... Most are misleading.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Or at least a clear mind on identifying the integrity of the information you are receiving.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] panzerox123:
Yup. Some of the videos lead directly to shady download pages:eek:

Return to stock by flashing FTF through flashtool, UBL, then again flash this ROM.

I need a better guidance ?

I have sony xperia z2(D6502), i wanted to root it, and install this rom on it, i can unlock bootloader, but i dont know much about rooting, i have heard of methods like the super su and all, but im also aware that the kernels and certain fix's are to be done before rooting, installing recovery and also flashing, although your instructions are very clear and informative, i wanted a little detailed way to do it.

Like you said flash sony's latest rootable rom by flashtool...i knw about flash tool but where could i get the rom?

And help me get root access....

I can install recovery, flash the existence rom you provided and also the update files...

I have been using this rom for the last 3 months now maybe a little bit more and tons of problems keep happening for some reason, first the phone keeps crashing on me now and then mostly when I try to load a new app or game or something like that and sometimes even while just opening gallery and music, and almost every time I just navigate throw my phone there is a popup that says "something's not working and crashed" ..it doesn't affect anything but it's annoying

1. There is a mod to bring it back, search the forum.

2. Brightness bar has never disappeared for me, you should have turned it off somewhere.

Seriously? Yeah, Can be it, is there any option to turn it off? Searched for these two things all morning in settings, still no clues.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
This problem appear when gsm data are deleted.

If you didn't make a backup at Google play services in titanium backup you need to flash existenz again.

But in my opinion doesn't worth because is not a big issue, it's just annoying to say: "Something went wrong".

Using Quick Toggle "LTE"

On stock ROM, it does LTE only

In existenz, it does LTE preferred

Can we use LTE only on exiztenz?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] panzerox123:
No. You cannot. But the device shouldn't have problems if your carrier doesn't support 2g or 3g
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Go into Service Menu by typing *#*#7378423#*#* into your Dialer, then in Service Settings, Network mode change to LTE_ONLY.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] albertse2:
I know this, just a little hassle, in my country, sometimes LTE is only 1 bar, but connection is not bad, so LTE only is good choice for data

in quick toggle "2G/3G/LTE" signal works as preferred

so i expect "LTE" toggle works as LTE only, like the stock rom

It is redundant to have it both LTE preferred in my opinion :)

Hi, I using this rom about 2 month it's start to much lag. Can anyone tell me steps how to back to stock. I have backup TA-partition. Do I need to re lock bootloader or it will be automatic re-lock when put TA partition?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
First off, if you have lag, you can clear cache and davik cache to solve it.

Secondly, return to stock doesnt really mean you have to re-lock your BL.

Thirdly, if you really want to relock bootloader, flash latest stock .FTF using flashtool INCLUDE all and EXCLUDE none. After the flashing is complete, you can proceed to restore your TA partition you backed up earlier from the exact same phone, after that you will have stock ROM installed and your BL is locked again.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PRO>KOMP.<:
