Hey there,
Could someone plz tell me if there is anyway to flash Stock recovery on my z2 ? I want to install the OTA update but having custome recovery means the process gonna fail.
To avoid that problem I downloaded the latest firmware through XperiFirm but unfortunately unpacking was aborted for some unknown reason ... Tried to unpack again then a message of "missing files " appears" . Now I can't download it through XperiFirm again as my connection is slow right now and the only option is the OTA which is much smaller by 1 gb ( XperiFirm files =1.3 gb,,,, OTA=~260 mb).
Any help ?

my xperia Z2 D6503, has build number 17.1.A.2.69, unlocked bootloader, and rooted
im planning to update it to .314, how can i do this? is it ok to update (.314) at sony pc companion? i know my root will be lost, so i should re-root again, no problem for me. but updating in pc companion with my rooted .69, should there be no problems at all?
i have a backed up rom (.69) with nut dual recovery, if any problems can i boot again in recovery? im thinking because root will be lost, recovery should also be lost.
or
can i flash new roms here like aroma? or any modded roms, i believe this roms are from build .314, from stock .69?
i read about flashing this customs rom, but other requires that the base roms should be .314
im so sorry if i have lots of questions, and im reading all the facts here in forum about Z2, im just careful enough not to mess up my Z2. i had xperia Z before and done lots of flashing new roms and root, but just to be careful with my Z2..
thanks in advance for any kind of info/replies.

the easiest way to do this is to use flashtool and a FTF
just simply exclude Data
i dont think you can flash across stock based rom versions without data wipe, it hasnt worked any time i tried, i used flashtool instead
- do i need to explain how to do this?

a million thanks
thank you very much.. this is a big info on me..
If you are rooted & bootloader unlocked then OTA update & PC companion updates will fail with modified software error message.
Like Envious_Data said you would need to use FlashTool & untick data in the wipe options to keep your data, you will lose root & the dual recoveries but you can easily use EasyRoot to root again then use the installer version of [NUT] dual recoveries.
I had some issues with SuperUser with data wipe unticked so ended up doing full wipe in FlashTool.
Good luck
use flashtool is very fast...
cant see the firmware on flashtool
i had downloaded the stock rom .314 RU, from the given list of Stock Roms on that page, the file is in Zip, when i moved the zip file on flashtool/firmware i cant see the ftf file. all i see is Device: X10, Version: V1, Branding: BLRelock
am i doing wrong?
If the FTF file is in a zip or rar archive file then you will need to extract it first, open the zip file & if there is one file in it with FTF extension then drag it from the zip to the firmwares folder in flashtool.
eg if you have installed flashtool to program files directory in windows open the zip file then browse to the flashtool\firmwares folder & then drag the zip file to the firmwares folder, it should then appear in flashtool when you click the flash button, just make sure you select the firmware FTF file & NOT the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf file.
Thanks for the Help Guys
Thank you very much
Im now updated to .314 and searching for an update to .402
the one i downloaded zip file has no ftf extension, i think its a stock rom in rar file and is installable in recovery mode, so i search and find a file w/c is in unbranded-Australia with ftf extension
im now rooted in .314 and searches for a good ROM for my Z2
Again. Thanks for the help Guys... You're all the best. :good: :good:
Trying to update to 23.4.A.0.546 from 23.1.A.1.28,
Am I gonna have my /data overwrite? (All included (/userdata.sin) ftf FW).
OTA goes wrong on my D6503 when I finish downloading OTA update file, says "could not verify".

Not necessarily, when flashing the .546 FTF remove the three ticks under the Wipe Box in Flash tool. All your data should be saved after flashing.
I would suggest a clean wipe though, when moving to a new version. Just my opinion

Yes, I also repeatedly failed the final check verification when trying to update via OTA my rooted 5.0.2 Z2 with Nuts dual recovery, but I was able to update to 5.1.1 using Sony PC Companion. Word of caution, however, this will remove root and custom recovery, and there is no root exploit yet for 5.1.1 on our Xperia phones. Therefore, I would suggest you download a pre-rooted 5.1.1 rom flashable .zip file and flash it in your current recovery to get updated; backup your current ROM before attempting. There are multiple versions for different regions and countries to choose from.
Thanks guys. I am newbie for Sony. I success flash back to 4.4 and upgrade to6.11 from pre-rooted ROM. FYI, the king root does no work on 5.0.2/5.1.1 for my D6503.

Hey guys
I can't flash some home launchers and zip files and also failed to apply signature verification in the package manager by LUCKY PATCHER .
These errors were no found on my former 5.0 firmware but on current 5.1.1 C5563 dual sim.
I did BLU method to root and used flashtool to upgrade 5.1.1 .
As a doubt , i found error while flashing 5.1.1 firmware as a failure in system flashing but it completed any way and my phone just upgraded.
Please guide me to enable this signature verification application.
Thanks .
