I was on soak test 5.0.2 before going to 5.1.1 custom ROMs... I restored to stock 4.4.4, and got the 5.1 notification...
MY QUESTION IS:
IS IT SAFE TO ACCEPT THE OTA? Will it brick my device?

Yeah ni Brick happens maybe,
AFAIK bootloader upgraded in 5.0.2 big update, so cant tell what happens, and if u used custom ROMs, then u cant live with Stock ROM anymore. Im sure you will restore that backup after trying Stock rom, IMHO wait for twrp backup of FINAL OTA and try that, not make any drastic steps now bcoz the device is year older so we have no Warranty now.. ...

Hey thanks bro, but I restored to 4.4.4 yesterday, got the OTA.... And guess what!!!!
I am running official 5.1 on my phone now... No brick has occurred, everything is smooth.
I have never taken such a serious and risky step before in my life! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
But I can guarantee you and other fellow XDA members
Don't be afraid to install 5.1 OTA after restoring to stock 4.4.4 from 5.0.2
It actually works, since it Motorola has made it official.
Two things to note though....
The bootloader has been updated
The partition tables have been updated
The recovery is no longer the Kitkat one (as seen in 5.0.2 soaks)
Oh and BTW, if someone wants to get back to 4.4.4 for some reason, then he CAN, by flashing all the firmware files of 4.4.4 EXCEPT the bootloader and the partition. He will also get the OTA and install it fine. Just tried it tomorrow.
Peace!

Don't worry, I won't be hanging out for too lomg in this "featureless ROM" :laugh:
Nevertheless, I think, it is good to get a taste of the Official ROM.
I have rooted it via TWRP, haven't tried kingroot!

Why do you want the TWRP backup, you can just revert to stock and get the OTA.

I have made the backup, ready to be flashed....
Here are two things to do prior to installing
Do a backup of the previous ROM
Wipe Everything
Now install, and as soon as it completes setup, DO A FACTORY RESET (it gave bootloops, so I am requesting).
And another interesting thing, if you change the language to English US, the new Boot animation appears
I will definitely upload by tomorrow...
Thanks for the patience

Thanks to you bro
I had already made a back up just before rooting and after that I rooted,installed xposed etc.....When I got the stock recovery today I tried to restore the back up I had taken but same thing happened to me ....it didn't boot......stopped at android is starting then I forced switch off and rebooted to twrp and did a factory reset and then it booted ........
Initially it was showing the old animation (I had selected English (india) as language) but when I flashed the stock recovery , the animation changed to new one and I checked the bootanimation file is the same but I got the new one.....now when I flashed twrp again bootanimation stays as new one
Thanks for the upload again
I bet you both will back to Custom ROM again sooon, you all wasting time [emoji14]

Hey guys im back after smashing my beloved xperia z (which i had mastered the ins and outs of) and reluctantly replacing it with a HTC ONE m7 which was the most terrible phone i have ever used in my life.... i have plonked a good bit of cash on a z2 and I AM LOVING IT
I had updated to the latest version of KK but i am hearing mixed reports that a root is not available for this version.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be fabulous.
Thank you in advance

Hello
I see you are totally green on this.
Well, im kinda green too, but I have had a lot of help from @xda and now I can manage to do some stuff with my telephone.
The first thing you have to do is BACKUP!!! This is always important.
Well, then lets get to it.
The XPERIA Z2 has a locked bootloader. This means that it cannot flash any roms, custom or other without being unlocked. When you unlock the bootloader, you delete all files on the phone, (don’t ask me how, it just does) and also deletes a partition called TA. The TA-partition contains DRM-keys, to explain that, @Envious_Data might help.
Anyway, when you have root, you can backup the TA, BEFORE you flash any custom ROM, or the ROM with ROOT. That way you will always be able to go back to scratch. Without ROOT on 4.4.4 you need to downgrade to 4.4.3, ROOT and backup the TA-partition before you even start thinking about unlocking bootloader.
(search the XDA, Google (use XDA in the end for XDA results) XDA-TV and you will find tons and tons of stuff. Once you understand some, it will come fast to you.)
I have gathered some threads here for you to read, and I hope this will work for you too.
Start off by reading this
When done, notify me.
All the best

What rom do you have?? is it 8GB or 4GB version? I would really thank you if you have european rom and you can share it.
For deodexing, an easy way is downloading androidtweaker2 from playstore. It´s got a deodexing tool.

Not customs roms as long as I know.
At forum.china-iphone.ru there´s a threat about this phone with a tutorial to install CWM. (didnt try yet, dont know if it works properly).
---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
take care because all roms avaliable are for china version (1/4 GB) and it seems are not totally compatible with 1/8 gb versions ( at least an user reported camera not working after installing w969.6.1.6 to an 1/8 gb bougth in sudafrica, same version than european).

There is no custom roms available at the moment, towelroot works good in rooting your phone. I accidentally wiped my phone and flashed the chinese rom W969.6.1.6 and my main camera is not working anymore, the rom also contained malware (funweather) that was a struggle to delete. My phone was bought in South Africa I havent gone back to the shop to go check what version software the phone is suppose to run, but there is not much available online.
My advice dont go further than rooting your phone. It will be appreciated if you can backup and share your rom.:good:

Hi EGcrasher,
can you tell me the exact steps i have to do to backup my ROM ? I need to use an app or I can do all by connecting the mobile to the computer?
I want a backup of my rom also to be sure to be able to come back at the original status.
I think that to have a perfect backup of my rom i need first to do a factory data reset.
Than what i have to do ???? I'm sorry but i need a basic guide... can I ask also you what you have uninstalled after rooted the phone?
Anyway my phone kernel version is 3.4.0 and the software version is W1002.6.03.00.EU00 and my total space is 6.11 GB
To root i go to website towelroot... and only install the apk and nothing else, right?
Thanks!

Looking at your build number, that is probably what my phone was running, I use to have a samsung phone and support was readily available hence I never bothered to backup a rom. I will find out how to do it practice on my phone and get back to you.

I finally got my phone back to normal with camera working
Hi
I current have 5.1 rooted 7840 and wanted to know if I can go back to 5.02. After 5.1 I'm having issues with audio, crackling sound while playing games and typing touch keyboard; so, I want to go back to 5.02 if possible. I've tried to restore to kitkat nandroid backup that I've download from the fourm but it gives me "Error while flashing boot image!" I'm guessing I cannot go back to kitkat while I'm on lollipop. If someone can show me how to go back to 5.02 or even kitkat (both had no audio issue) I'd appreciate it.
Thank you

If the crackling sound is your only concern, try to disable the MaxxAudio app and reboot. At least it works for me.
Disabling Maxxaudio does not work for me.

Flash developer packages with flash tool. Last week i downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.02.
Make sure before u do back up 5.1 first.
Hi,
Are you all affected by this crackling sound after the update to 5.1 or is this only affecting some of the users?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Hi,
Can you help me to downgrade the tablet? I have used the flash tool from intel and flashed the 5.02 file (1-502_droidboot_and_firmware) but tablet is still 5.1, any ideas?
The crackling is very annoying.
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Do I need to unlock the bootloader in developer options?
Will it wipe the tablet?

i completely wiped and re-installed 5.0.1 on my tab a few days ago. Worked perfectly with the procedure described in the link. Just be sure that fastboot AND adb-drivers are installed beforehand.
From what I gathered there is no system image file...so how does it downgrade based on a 25 meg file? Do I need to flash the other zips as well or just the one listed?

you're right, but xBIGREDDx provided a dump of system.img some time ago, which i'm really glad for. If you stick to this thread you should have no problems reverting back to 5.0.1. But it's really not the easiest way when you're used to other vendors where you just need to flash something on your custom recovery of choice.
Ive messed up 5.1 system so i needed to flash clean rom and i did as in post above. Now im having Android 5.0.2 and i cannot update to Android 5.1....OTA file gives me Error 0.
Any solution? Thanks

If you can go to TWRP recovery then use flashable stock rom to recover your phone.Or try flashing boot.img from the stock rom also.This should work.

Use custom rom to make your phone working again.OR the better tips is use flashtool to flash stock rom.This never fails

How can I flash stock rom? you have a link for a tutorial or something?
important think to know is that i make a backup by the twrp. Afterthat I put this backup on my pc, deleteme data/system/cache (not delete, swipe I think) and after that I put the backup in the phone again and use it to backup...
I'm going totry this tomorrow cause it's very late here and I'm working early

Ok, Thank you so much for your help but I find the problem (it was the update of twrp, it was in 3.02 and I downgrade it to 3.01) and now, my phone works again!! but do you think it's a good idea to get my phone in emui 4.0 with this rom?

Yes you can try this rom.Looks fresh to me but can't guarantee it will not contain any bugs or issues.And be sure this rom only made for your device.

If you face any problem and need to improve or add new features in the rom just comment in the Rom's thread or PM that Rom Developer because he is the one who build rom for your device.Here me or anyone can't help you with this. And always use stable build.Don't try too fast to try Recently developing Alpha,beta or nightly rom.It contains too many issues and bugs.but if you want to help developer and you know how to handle your phone in such bad situation you can go for those builds and provide Dev log to develpoer.
I mean is there any possible way to root this device? I tried flashing SuperSU, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the systemmode SuperSU, got stuck in the bootloader warning text. I also tried some pre rooted Roms from the forum.. and they just won't boot. What am I missing here..??

I didn't. I had no clue what it was. I just flash recovery n install the SuperSU file with it on other phones.
Now I'll try rooting it once the nougat arrives.

Nougat could introduce more issues (e.g. Xposed doesn't work with Nougat as of today... Magisk & SuperSU... who knows?) but in theory steps should be the same...
More: this is unknown to most (and I don't have a clear explanation for it... only some hypothesis...) but even TWRP could have issues...
On another phone I've found (only one time to be honest... ) that an updated firmware required an updated TWRP to have it working (older one simply doesn't booted anymore even if reflashed...)

Damn! I'll root it tomorrow then. Meanwhile I hope someone is working on an AOSP/CM14. The development for this phone is so scary :crying:

I don't like OTAs at all... I'll prefer going with flashing full images by fastboot (if stock images) or TWRP (if custom ROMs or zip flashable version of stock images...).
They are safer and cleaner than OTAs...

@enetec
Are you able to restore all the changes you made to /system, to successfully install the next OTA-update?
Or you just reflash the whole stock image before the next ota?

As I said elsewhere, I don't like OTAs at all...
Probably it could be possible to restore all as stock from my backups, but I will surely update (when I'll decide to...) using fastload or TWRP (depending of image formats...) as you said...
