Will this work on a Locked Bootloader??... i cant even update my damn phone via pc companion due to no usb 2.0 in my pc haha its saying i cant do it with a usb 3.0 port and so my last resort is to either wait for update via air or flash via FlashTool
Does this work for locked bootloaders?
Also, from which FTF did you create this?

Its just like installing a custom rom yet its not a custom rom just stock with pre root access. if you have rooted before and have twmp or philz touch whiz recovery just install it from the recovery option wiping Dalvik and Cache and then installing this zip then reboot system and you're good to go. shouldn't be hard follow some guides on youtube if you don't know.
what if i have never rooted before?? because ive got a locked bootloader with 100% stock rom and havent flashed any custom stuff... all i did was get the phone from vodafone and then i flashed the uk firmware (same as the one you have minus the root)

Well i downgraded mine back to kitkat then root you could try root from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230
i had to flash 17.1.A.2.55 then run the rootkit from doomlord and then flash your rom via recovery and then voilah xD... lets see how it goes as im just starting the process now
EDIT: installed wrong version haha
Nice work with the Flashable zip.
Apart from the inclusion of the 'clear all recents' button what else is improved upon, or not forgotten, in comparison to the earlier Lollipop updates?
My Z2 is still showing V 23.1.A.0.726 ready for downloading but so far I've resisted this so-called upgrade, its too half-baked. I'm still on KitKat until I get more feedback on this being a better attempt at an upgrade.
What are your impressions so far?

Well since ive been using it daily I found that the battery has been draining fast soon as I take it off charge its down to 98 percent already I have lollipop ? on my moto g doesn't drain this fast. I was getting issues with keyboard on z2. This seems to fix that bug. Haven't noticed any other changes so far just seems to be minor bug fixes.

thx for the zip
So, as I understand
move the zip to my sd card,
flash from recovery( my Z2 is 17.1.1.a.0.402 root with dual recovery) the zip and that is?????
nothing else?
Do I need flashtool or everything else?
i am asking bcause I saw other guides that said at the end to flash with flashtool the ftf fimware:
like step 11 at following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
"Never exclude = never check (x) kernel. It is the main reason we're flashing this."

I've noticed when i was using the stock rom (1000000% uk stock with no extras) i could get around 3/4 days battery life which includes having the bluetooth on all day connected to my helmet and sbh52 and after i installed this im getting half that xD....
So the increased battery consumption is another reason to stay away from this. I get plenty of usage on KitKat, thats with BT and Wifi on nearly all of the time.
From all the negative aspects I've read about Lollipop on the Z2 it seems like its anything but an upgrade.

You can try and post your results for others. I am not running this. I just tested to make sure my ftf functions properly.
I'll give it a shot later and see, just have to figure which files to exclude after getting root. I'll let everyone know.
what the difference? from the first release? any notation given by TMO?
Can someone test if this rootkit work on 10.3.1.E.0.191?
It uses master key exploit (bug 9950697) and if Sony didn't fix it we can root .191 without flashing old kernel.

It likely wouldn't work, but it might. The baseband on the 6602 is very similar, but not exactly the same. If you used flashtool and SKIPPED baseband and kernel, it MIGHT work on the 6603 and 6602, but there is a risk of brick from what I understand. This phone is my daily and I haven't backed it up yet, but I might try it - with a locked bootloader you can't REALLY kill it, it's relatively safe (emergency recovery?) I have a 6603, and I've flashed 6606 baseband only in the past. The phone boots but once it initializes the radio, crashes. (likely because the kernel drivers for the radio are different then what baseband expects.)
This also may have been covered before and I would like to know if my above statement is true.

so from what i understand, i can't/or should not install this on my c6602 as well? because if so, then i would like to know if you know of any alternatives, because i have an international phone and would like to keep using it with t-mobile, problem is their coverage is ridiculous and i love this phone so much i can not bring my self to get rid of it without getting the Z2 at least. i found the Wi-Fi calling feature is perfect for my situation, but its only on t-mobile phones and im hoping its on t-mobile ROMs as well. can anyone guide me towards the light? i'd really appreciate the help :fingers-crossed:

If of you have experience with flash tool I will suggest skipping the TMo update and selecting a 4.4.2 kit kat ROM that will work for you.

I am rooted but I have found a way to do so in a rather abnormal way.
I use xz recovery app to get to twrp. I have rooted the phone using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33
This method I use works 100% all the time.
I have a locked bootloader so this routine I use seems to be the only method to work.
WHen I need, I use flashtool to restore everything to stock.
I think the newest update with ftf would be the next best step for be to acquire.
I dont like trying to flash kernels. Too much involved. This particular phone has posed a huge troublesome step by step method to get it where it is now.
To go and learn new methods would be a daunting task.

Download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3243769&d=1428103729, unzip it on your pc and run the .bat file.
Phone will reboot and you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down when the phone starts.
Is there any benefit of returning to your original model? I have a D6653 and been using the D6603 lollipop firmmwares since they came out....

I would say that if you have no issues with the version you're using right now, it shouldn't be much different if you switch. In fact, if you're happy with the way things are currently, you should be more worried about accidentally breaking something (if it's not broken, don't fix it and all that)). Then again, you can always flash back to your back-up if things go awry.
Anyway, I dirty flashed this over my previous installation and it looks like everything's as it should be, except for the screen off animation. Or is there really not supposed to be one? I was using Gravity Box for CRT off before but it seems like it had fade before that. Now my screen just... winks out.
Why dont u use recovery 2.8.10?

My firmware now works better than my previous (D6603) and I can tell the changes. With my new D6653 firmware, my issues were resolved:

- X-Reality automatically turns off
- Service Menu is crashing

Yeah, I thought so. It would have been unusual to just arbitrarily pick this region, haha.
What screen-off animation came with the firmware? Fade or no animation?

No animation, even when I used D6603 firmware before. There should be a mod for that, I don't know just how, yet

That's good then. I was worried something that it was a very minor nit in an otherwise perfect flash.
I'll just have to wait until we have Xposed/Gravity Box again for CRT Off/Fade (and quick unlocK).
Hi mates, Currently my version is 23.0.1.A.5.77 (D6653) and under 4.4.4 newly owned z3 2 days ago, just want to ask if safe to root? I have read about the DRM keys issue. If rooted, warranty will be voided?

Hi
An hour ago I flashed the downloaded Customized PH. 726 from XperiFirm. My fault actually that I just visited XDA and checked out your post after I updated my Z3 D6653. How will I be able to install a recovery on this? I know the works and all but what I'm not certain is, is there a way to install recovery and root the device by not downgrading the OS? Because seriously that's a lot of work starting from downloading everything and flashing files afterwards. I'll wait for your response sir. Thanks and God Bless.

The thing is, there is no exploit yet to get root directly on lollipop. The only working exploit for root is by using giefroot, and sad to say, you need to downgrade your firmware for that.
That's so sad. I actually planned to root my Z3 yesterday while still on KitKat but suddenly Lollipop arrived at XperiFirm and I being excited to see what this version offers just jumped on the idea of updating mY device. Is there a link you can direct me to so I could root this thing? Seriously, finding some ways on Google is wearing me down these days.

Not sure if you can do it that way but what i would do is downgrade back to kitkat and root using TowelRoot. Then flash this lollipop pre root using philz recovery.
Thanks for confirming, thought that might be the case.

Cheers for this works fine apart from every music app gets killed when the screen is off for a few mins. I've turned off stamina, added exceptions to stamina mode etc but nothing has fixed it. Any ideas? Bit of a bugger when driving/ listening to music. Only started since flashing this.
Edit: sorted was Greenify. Must be a bit more efficient with the new os version as nothing was different from before
should I "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or something else?
My phone is running Carbon Rom 5.1.1 kernel 3.4.0 and it get stuck on sony logo when I've tried to flash this trough recovery
I've already restore it via flashboot flash recovery twrp.img restore a previous backup and reflash boot.img but as I'm experiencing camera issues (Couldn't connect to camera) want to try an stock kernel.

Well, I flashed it with Flashtool after customize all the apps already installed prompt me for a lot of permissions of some apps, then after about 10 min of working normally or good, suddenly it restarted and now it restarts just when it try to load apps...
Does you recommend me anything? erase anything?
Thanks
EDIT:
Just solved erasing with all this options marked:
I installed the Brazil vers, it's like something that is in my world instead of chinese vers.
Anyone know how to root this version? E6533 (Dual)
Thanks for diving in guys any word on the change log. Also is how is it with english selected ?
Would the modified kernels of previous fw 251 work on this?
Now the firmware was delivery to arabic market. I guess in this week its Will be avaliable to anothers countries
Sent from my E6533 using XDA Free mobile app

This firmware is also available for single sim variant (E6553) now.. Customized Singapore, US and Vietnam.. To those running on .266 firmware, are there any noticeable difference compared to .251 firmware ?? Considering on flashing here if there are any..

Just flashed .266 Customized SG and restored apps etc..; no noticeable improvement whatsoever but no regressions either.. this said only from updating and installing apps, entering passwords, one should probably notice something within some days of usage.
Surely won't hurt if you flash it, esp. if you want to keep up to date.

I see.. Thank you for the feedback.. Did you flash using the latest version of Flashtool (0.9.19.8) ?? I read somewhere in Z3+ forum a while ago that some people have trouble flashing firmware on this phone.. It's been a while since I used flashtool (last used when I was using Xperia Z 6-7 months back).. Just want to make sure it's the same process for this phone..

Yes and I also applied the 0.9.19.10 patch.. the process is basically the same, while this new version will ask you if you'd like to use a flash script it has for our phone.. I did use it and it went all well. Also when it starts flashing it will ask you about TA skipping, just hit 'yes'.

Yes but mostly because I hadn't wiped data for a long time.. You could get along well with dirty flash if you have too much to restore.. If you have any problems afterwards, you can always do a factory reset.

I think I'll do a full wipe.. How do I make the downloaded file into a .ftf file ?? Automatically unpack or manually ??

Automatically unpack in Xperifirm, then in flashtool go to Tools->Bundles->Create, select the folder where you extracted the fw, add all the files to the right column, enter info about phone, customization, version - create.. Then flash the created ftf it in flash mode (it will show up in Flashtool when you hit 'flash')

Thanks a lot.. I'll surely give it a go when I have some free time.. I just checked xperifirm and it seems like the firmware is rolling out to more regions now.. I wonder if Sony will push an OTA update anytime soon..
@airlessproject, Do I have to check any box under MiscTA Exclude (by default SIMLOCK is checked) before flashing ?? I'm not sure what this does..

Leave the default checked, all else unchecked.

I see.. I have to check all the boxes under WIPE if I want to clean install right ??
One thing that is changed at least for me I have the apn settings download feature again in mobile network settings. Don't know why the last build was missing it anyhow.
I'm from Spain this Update is available in my country by OTA way. I have got an Z3+ Dual Sim version.
Rooting 28.0.A.8.266 Single Sim Version
Hi all,
Have installed the above update for UK and wondering if anyone could help with rooting it. I have tried using the .251 rooting files but obviously different version so hasn't worked out. Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the info.
I have been using US customized firmware without any issue with Hangouts dialer. But after I flashed to Nordic's latest, it stop working with error msg 'phone calling not available temp something...'. So I wonder some countries' firmware might have impact on that...
Update now available here in Austria.
Do u guys think I can simply OTA Update my rooted 256 fw? The Update is only 19.8 mb in size.

Thanks for the Feedback! Figures I lost it anyways (and the Recovery with it) even though I made and flashed a pre-rooted firmware from recovery as always. Whatever happened there. Gonna have to roll back to KK tonight, get Recovery up and running and then finally retry flashing the a newly created pre-rooted FW from my FTF file.
Really quite annoyed at this right now. Could have just OTA`d and the result would have been the same. Hopefully no big Security holes for some time. Not big on wasting several hours, just to get my phone running the way I want it to run.

TWRP did the trick. Rocking a dual recovery, rooted fresh install of .264 now.

Thnx, added it.
.264 error power off
after upgraded to .264, my phone was down, cannot power on. any one faced this problem
So I ran the OTA and after it installed, all the apps that I had moved to the SD card were no longer on my homescreens, and I cannot even search for them in the Google Now launcher app. They are still in the app drawer but I have to manually scroll down and find them. I can't just type in their name?? Anyone else have this issue? I am totally stock, no root or anything.
I had something similar. With all apps on the sd card initially being unavailable. After maybe 5 minutes the phone rebooted itself and now all apps appear to have been restored to where they were prior to the update and are once more able to be used
