A: You can backup it using Backup and Restore app in your phone/or used PC Companion to backup
Backup and Restore app in your phone will not work with the backups you have made on 4.1.2 once you get 4.3 . I had the leak 4.3 installed and it said those backups are not compatible. The PC Companion backup worked fine.

In your OP, the last query..you said that you'll lose root once you update your phone...it usually depends on the way how you updated your phone, i mean thru OTA or PCC? If thru PCC you will definitely lose root, in OTA there is a way to keep root though. Tried it on my SP and works flawlessly:good:

You kept crashing on sony logo coz doom's method to root will not work on .266 anymore because the system in .266 is android 4.3 and the kernel on .254 was of android 4.1.2 hence that kernel dint managed to boot up the system of .266 and kept crashing on sony logo.
Hi
Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.0.1.A.4.30 which this time is customized UK, latest stable SuperSu v2.37 and latest beta Dualrecovery .154 for Tablet Z2 with read/write acces to system.
This is tested and works just fine though make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file with custom recovery. Wipes aren´t necessary but good practise.

Just want to say thanks. I'm going to flash this tomorrow . Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Is the the lollipop update or just a smaller one? If so what is changed?
Did a bit of research. Looks like it fixed smart cover bug and removes the non functional ultra stamina mode

Thanks guys for your kind word. This is still KitKat update. Haven´t seen chancelog but atleast Sony´s own cover works again as supposed and touchscreen seems to be more responsive.
Just wanted to add that I had to manually install the dual recovery. Installed fine but thought I'd mention it.

You need working custom recovery (TWRP) to flash this. So answer to your question is no.

Shoot.. I really am slipping.... I must have unlocked it at some point then because I do have nut's dual recovery onboard..
I should be able to flash over the top then... my only questions are if I do flash, will I have issues with the encryption keys, and how do I change the localization to us? ?

So you have working custom recovery? What exactly do you mean that you lost your root? Partial root or something else? If you have working custom recovery why not just flash latest SuperSu from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/636/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip
And then about encrytpion keys. Do you mean that you have encrypted your device or perhaps DRM keys? Flashing prerooted firmware have no effects to your device DRM keys if you mean that.

I had root and lost it in the ota... superuser says such not installed... I just went in and tried recovery and it did not come up, so I am assuming it flashed me back to stock in more ways then one... I am now looking at your zip to get root back if I can get dual recovery back on the tablet.

You are welcome.
You need Flashtool and correctly installed drivers for it and rootable firmware in ftf format. If I remember correctly latest was 17.1.2.A.0.314. If you want to I believe you can use this one: https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 It is for SGP511 but memory size is only difference between devices. Or you can find one from general forum.
You can find one instruction how to use flashtool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187952&postcount=2

I want to have a stock rooted feel.
Download ftf from sony for stock through sony pc companion(save this in case...)
Run prf creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904) and add root and recovery
use flashtool to put on Nordic with root and custom recovery
use the recovery from nordic to flash the rooted stock firmware.
I should be golden then right?
Last questions though. Do I need to be unlocked to do this and will my DRM keys stay good?

Thank you. Short answer is that as long you have root access you can install prerooted firmwares so basically same way you do with this prerooted firmware. Credits how to make prerooted firmwares are in op. Some point there is no method to root newer firmwares without unlocking your bootloader so I did that too but because backed up TA partition I´m back with rooted device and locked bootloader.

No you do NOT have to unlock your bootloader (because it is not a custom ROM) but you can only flash it if you already have an open recovery (TWRP, Philz Touch Recovery etc.)
btw you can install any input language on android

Yes I'm already rooted on 4.4.2 and I've TWRP recovery.
Should I flash it directly using recovery? I don't have a SD card. Can I put it on Internal memory or external USB flash memory and install it?
I'm sorry I'm kinda a beginner. I know a lot about iOS but I'm new to Android.
Would this work for any Z2 in all regions? I brought my Z2 from expansys and apparently mine is based in Germany by Vodafone.
I have a TWRP backup if something goes wrong but I like to know if there will be any other complications that my 4.4.4 stock backup can't fix. Thanks in advance.

You just have to ensure that your phone is D6503, not D6502.
And as far as I know, recovery isn't working on Lollipop yet. So once you flash this, you won't be able to easily restore your KitKat backup, unless you downgrade to KitKat ROM and go through the process of rooting and installing recovery.
would you be so kind to detail what you did in order to achieve dual recovery? did you use prf creator?
I think it only shows that the NDR Utils app works, but you can't enter or reboot into the actual Recovery yet.

Fyi if you want to get back to 4.4 and you have an unlocked bootloader all you need to do is flash the 4.4 boot.img (with recovery), boot into recovery and restore your backup.
Obviously the phone will bootloop if you try and boot it.
Has anyone else tried using Link2SD with this firmware (I'm talking about the application not the built-in feature in the OS) and encountered the following error: "Mount script error Mount script cannot be created. mount: Operation not permitted". I've recreated the second partition of the SD card and have made sure that Link2SD has the appropriate rights in the SuperSU. The issue still persists. Had no similar problems with Link2SD in KitKat.

TBH if you don't have time to look it up, you probably haven't got time to fix it when **** happens, so take a chill pill and wait until you have got time or it all gets sorted.

Hi
Here are flasable zip files wich installs latest ROM 23.1.A.0.726 which is LolliPop and region this time is customized TW, latest stable SuperSu v2.46 and latest fully working Dualrecovery 2.8.10 (2.8.14 in SGP511 .zip) for Tablet Z2 with read and write acces to system.
Make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file via custom recovery. TWRP recommend.
Factory reset is recommend if you came from KK. If you already have LP installed this is small update to 23.1.A.0.690 so you be just fine by dirty flashing but dalvik and cache wipes are recommend.

Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.1.A.0.726 which is LolliPop and region this time is customized TW, latest stable SuperSu v2.46 and latest fully working Dualrecovery 2.8.10 for Tablet Z2 with read and write acces to system.
Make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file via custom recovery. TWRP recommend.
Factory reset is recommend if you came from KK. If you already have LP installed this is small update to 23.1.A.0.690 so you be just fine by dirty flashing but dalvik and cache wipes are recommend.

Thanks, downloaded, flashed and tested with a dirty flash, except the writing to SD Card problem which was easily fixed by running the SDFIX app, everything works nicely.
Is Lollipop supposed to give back the write to SD card which was taken away in KK?

You are welcome. About your question. LP sort of fixed the thing with external sd cards by giving developers away to add their apps installation file new permission to have read, write and delete access to chosen directory also other than apps own directory. So LP fix this but developers have to update their apps to use this new method.
Kulverti, can you pm me a FTF download link, or put it in your OP? Thnx!

Op updated. I added prerooted SGP521 zip file for users wiht that device. I don´t have that device but @KimUyLong have helped me to test it. Thanks.
Thanks again kulvertti for doing this for us! Can anyone comment on the bugs/glitches with this rom? Sounds like lots of stuff was wrong with 690. I tried the cm12 lollipop and that had problems with having too. So far, cannot see a reason to upgrade to lollipop from rooted 4.4.4.
Thanks.
So do I update using the 2nd method in your other thread? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/lollypop-t3057435 since im coming from your original Lollipop rom with no Recovery?

You need root and custom recovery to flash this so yes, that is one way to do it.
Anybody got an issue with storage display !? After get lollipop by flashing .690 update (and 726 too), memory mapping app and stock storage app display I have 3,73Gb free. But, when connect to PC, I only have 2,73 Gb free. Any idea !?
Question:
Is there an app that will give me an... X ....to close all the "recent apps" with one click??

Thnx Kulverti for the quick attn.
I actually was noobish when asking this question, shortly after I pushed the 'submit button' I had a clear moment of inspiration on the fact that XperiFirm would have done the same trick. (d'oh) :angel:
Just wondering if this can be flashed on 512 tablet? Thanks in advance

Hi, how to flash this with flashtool. Im actually flashed .216 after a unsuccessful root dry but with the .216 what i have flashed with flashtool; i got a real hot camera so i decided to flash this rom. How to do with flashtool ? any advice please what to exclude in flashtool. got no root and no open bootloader. thank you.
Does anyone know if this is the official update that adds recovery partition support? If anyone is on stock kernel, could you verify whether fastboot flashing a recovery and booting it with POW+Vol Down button boots into recovery?

If you don't wipe your data in recovery or flashtool than you won't loose anything.

I am running 5.0.2.
I tried in the past to flash, through recovery, the last firmware that was released before this. I downloaded a zip from one of the threads, and installed it through recovery, but after rebooting, I was still on 5.0.2.
If I download this and flash it in recovery, should it update my phone to this firmware. Or would it be better to flash through the flashtool? (to not delete the data, not to check the data in the wipe window?)
Thanks
