I had to revert back to my odexed OC2 backup because I kept getting "unfortunately settings/contacts has stopped working". It would happen when I was in the phone app and if I tried to press the soft key to the left of the home button at the bottom of the phone or in settings and pressing the same button.
I tried booting into safe mode and still had the error. I also tried completely wiping the data and cache partitions then installing the rim again. Everything I tried resulted in having the same problem. I searched online and the only thing I could find is that it could be a permissions issue when the rom was being compiled. I also tried going into applications and wiping the individual app caches.
Same problem here.

Look at op. Download and install NC2 Flasher. Make sure you also download the OC1 Kernel Installer.zip as well. Open NC2 flasher, press "flash", then press "reboot" and your phone will reboot into safestrap. After doing your thing in safestrap, install the OC1 kernEl and reboot to system. DON'T REBOOT BEFORE INSTALLING THE OC1 KERNEL OR YOU WILL NEED ODIN TO GET BACK TO SAFESTRAP.

You don't have to factory reset. I did it after having problems after the first install.
ah, I see. I still dont understand why my phone refuses to boot, it has been sitting on the ATT logo for 40 minutes now with the notification light slowly glowing.
Hold down the power button and turn off your phone. It should reboot by itself. That might help. If not, go back to safestrap and wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, then install the rom again.

After spending two whole days trying to flash my Galaxy S2 with MIUI 2.1.6 (also tried the latest Cyanogenmod and DarkyROM) and with nothing to show for it, it's time to ask for help.
My main goal is to install MIUI 2.1.6. The starting point is stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 (XXKI3). This is what I did:
- flashed stock 2.3.5 (XXKI3) via Odin
- rooted XXKI3 with CF-Root
- copied MIUI 2.1.6 on SD card (the zip file)
After that comes the part where I have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and that's where the troubles start. My phone comes with 3e recovery which gives me the "failed to verify whole file signature" error after I try to flash CWM via the ROM Manager.
After browsing XDA forums, a lot of reading and trying both methods of overriding that bloody signature check (Untermensch's script method and Existenz's method of placing the Recovery file in /system/bin), none of them worked for me.
Untermensch's script method starts doing its thing but at one point it gives me an error message and suggests that my phone isn't rooted (which it definitely is, as I'm able to use Superuser, Root Explorer, AdBlock and every other root-only app).
Existenz's method of manually putting the Recovery file in /system/bin swaps the 3e recovery with CWM (orange letters, if I recall correctly), but after doing all the neccessary wipes and installing MIUI (or Cyanogenmod) from a zip file on my SD card, all I get is a boot loop. DarkyROM won't install at all, it simply gives me an error at the very beginning of the installation process.
At this moment I'm running stock Gingerbread 2.3.5, rooted by CF-Root and flashed with SpeedMod kernel. When I try to enter recovery, I'm getting CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 (blue letters). However, if I try to wipe the phone and install MIUI from zip, all I get is another boot loop. And I'm back on 3e recovery.
Perhaps it's also worth mentioning my 3e recovery menu has no "reinstall packages" option which was mentioned in several threads on this forum that were vaguely related to my issue.
Anything I'm missing? Any ideas at all?
Thanks in advance and kind regards!

Try the MIUI forums for support.
1) Flash CF-root
2) Copy the Miui zip into the sdcard
3) flash the Miui zip twice
4) reboot into CWM recovery
5) Flash the miui zip again
6) wipe cache/data
7) reboot into miui

The thing is, I'd ultimately like to be able to install any custom ROM, not just MIUI. So far none of them worked (MIUI, Cyanogenmod, DarkyROM), I'm guessing due to that nasty 3e recovery (nothing else comes to mind)

Nope, that didn't work. After flashing with MIUI twice via CWM and powering the phone off, I'm unable to enter recovery to flash MIUI for the third time, as the phone goes into boot loop.
Any other ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance!
Your not using rom manager are you?
Maybe its a bad miui download, where did you get the zip from?
Nope, I'm flashing the zip via CWM recovery, so after turning the phone off and doing the three-key thingy. I got the MIUI zip from MIUIAndroid.com and downloaded it three times, just to be sure there's not an issue with the zip.

I have no clue then, it should work
Maybe you could try galnet miui?
Have you tried flashing other custom roms, eg hyperdroid or checkrom?
I did try to flash CyanogenMod (ended up with a boot loop, just like MIUI), as well as DarkyROM (got an error shorty after the start of the installation, can't remember what it was anymore). Seems my SGS2 simply isn't up for anything but stock ROMs. Bastard.

CM7 does need doubleflashing, so when you go into CWM double flash the zip before wiping/rebooting.
And what was the error on the stock rom? Have you tried others.
Try this.
Its the resurrection edition of darkyrom. Its something to fall back on when other roms failI, it completely repartions your phone and should replace 3e with CWM and you'll have a nice darky custom rom
Make sure you follow the instruction to the letter

Just tried to doubleflash CM7 and then do the wipe. Ended up in yet another boot loop (and unable to get into recovery). Then I restored the stock 2.3.5, rooted with CF-Root and tried to flash DarkyROM (via CWM recovery, of course). This is the message that it gives me:

So now I'm back on stock 2.3.5 once again. Blimey.

Yeah I noticed cause it was darky 10.2.2 which I remember from my s1 days of flashing.. I was wondering why the 0 was there. Very lucky its not bricked
Let us.know how you go with the darkyrom HD resurrection.. darkyrom HD is for galaxy s 2 just in case you wanted to update in future and so you don't get confused
Feeling like a bit of a dumbass right about now. And just when I thought I tripple checked everything... Okay, that explains the DarkyROM issue, however still no clue what's wrong with MIUI and/or CM7. I'm sure I downloaded correct versions of those
I'm downloading the ROM from your link at this very moment, trying it shortly.

All good. Its not hard to get mixed up. I remember how overwhelming it was when I first started learning to flash
Bit scary for a while til I learnt more and understood things better
Hmm I'm not to sure about the miui issue or cm7
Never used them, except for cm9 cause I like the aosp ICS..
Let us know how darkyrom HD goes for ya
Well, that worked. Had to flash twice to get it to work, though (got stuck on step #14 for 10 scary minutes and then just turned the phone off an reflashed)
I'll give DarkyROM a go. I do have one more question though. If I decide to try to flash MIUI once again, would it be enough to boot into CWM recovery and try to install it from zip (so, without doing anything to my DarkyROM installation) or do I have to go back to stock ROM for that?
Thanks a ton for your help guys, my SGS2 can run custom ROMs after all! Horray!
(Sorry if you guys don't like me using the term soft brick :S)
Phone version: Samsung Galaxy S II I9100
Problem: Rooted phone using [galaxys2root's method] (Odin + Jeboo Kernel + Clockworkmod) and then installed CyanogenMod using [WiredMash's method] (sorry can't post youtube links)
Followed the procedure and everything was working perfectly. Afterwards, I messed a few settings up so I thought it would be easy to simply do the process above again to start with a clean slate.
I don't particularly remember the order in which I messed things up, but I went back to Clockworkmod, cleared literally everything (including the internal SD, meaning I lost CyanogenMod) and then went back to Odin and tried to flash Jeboo Kernal on again.
Current Status of Phone:
Stuck at the Loading Screen with the Yellow Exclamation Mark.
Downloading mode states I've done Binary Flash 8 times (woops)
CyanogenMod no longer initiates.
Still able to access CWM, but can't flash any Zips on because there's nothing on the memory
What should I do? Would this simply be fixed by popping down to the store to grab a MicroSD and going on my computer, putting CyanogenMod on it and then flashing it using CWM?
If it works, would I have screwed up anything? Would I have to clear some stuff using CWM? Would it be like nothing happened? (I have a weird obsession that requires everything to be perfect)
Ok....it's not *really* a brick....it's not even a bootloop.....it's (as you said) a lack of os.
You have an accessible CWM, which basically puts you in the clear.
You suggested your solution.....buying a microSD card, copying a rom to it and using cwm to flash it.
I basically was in the same situation as you, and if I'd had a microSD card that my laptop recognised, that is the solution I'd have used. My issue was that my XP laptop doesn't like high capacity memory cards (mine is 32Gb)....if you are running XP, it might be a good idea to get a (maximum) 4Gb card.
The above method will also require you to flash GApps as well......

No need to buy an external sd-card. Your phone has an internal storage which can be accessed / mounted via CWM. Just boot the phone in recovery mode (ClockworkMod) and head over to 'mounts and storage > mount USB storage'. Now use your cable to connect your device to your computer. It should only take a few seconds until your phone pops up in Windows Explorer. Then you're able to put your ROM .zip file onto the card. Choose to 'unmount USB storage' and install the ROM. Don't forget to wipe before Much luck,

Dude...you learn something new every day.....if I'd have known that when I had my issue (similar to the OP) I wouldn't have had to f**t around with odin installing a firmware in order to get at least *something* back on my phone to get it to boot again.....thanks for the share....gonna have to remember this tip

Why should he go to stock if he desires his phone to run a custom ROM? Sounds like he accidentally formatted the system partition plus the internal storage. As soon as he flashes the CM zip file his phone has a working system directory and he should be able to. boot it up again

I guess the only reason for your inappropriate posts is to push your post count to its limit. Well done, sir.

So I''ve done the USB storage method, shoving CyanogenMod, SuperSU and GApps onto the internal. I installed SuperSU and now I'm trying to install CyanogenMod and I'm getting the (Status 7, Installation Aborted) message. Am I missing anything required?
Re download the ROM, the files might be corrupted.

No need to copy over SuperSU. There's a superuser app coming with CM Alternatives are in Google Play Store
Well, you're running Jeboo kernel. Stock based kernels sometimes cause errors when you try to install a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, CM comes with its own kernel anyways, but there's still the chance that the installation fails like in your case. To solve your problem flash a custom kernel (I'd choose dorimanx - you can grab a copy here: dorimanx.shine.sk <- 8.x is for stock based ROMs, 9.x is for custom ROMs) So pick 9.35 and flash it. Then reboot the phone in recovery mode again. You've got a different Recovery system now. This time it will allow you to install CM followed by GApps
Edit: Don't forget that Dorimanx will be overwritten by CM kernel as soon as you flash CM. But if you're new to CM I recommend this kernel anyways

Hmm I seem to be getting the Status 7, Installation aborted problem with Dorimanx too :S I even tried 9.34 and redownloading 9.35
EDIT: Managed to get back to CyanogenMod. Thank you
Nice one mate. ...now if you want to go back to stock there's a handy little app called Mobile Odin. ...look for the thread here on XDA......

READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY. THIS IS NOT JUST FLASHING ANOTHER ROM
This Rom has been tested by many people but if you do not follow the instructions correctly or then go on to flash an incompatible TWRP you can brick yourself.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER PRIME RECOVERY WHILE USING THE NEW HAIRYBEAN 2.31 (4.2.1) BOOTLOADER, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT THE MOMENT, THE ONE BUILT IN IS MODDED. USE THE DOWNGRADE ZIP TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF YOU NEED IT.
By downloading and installing the below you are in agreement that you understand the risk associated with doing this which in a worse case scenario could result in a bricked Transformer Prime. Therefore we are not responsible or liable for any issues you encounter although we will do our best to TRY to help you resolve them.
Thank you.
Battery above 20 percent.
An Unlocked Transformer Prime with a custom recovery.
A Micro SD to copy install files to as the Internal Storage will be wiped during install.
All valuable files removed from your Transformer Prime.
The files from the Download section below.
NVflash installed if you want to go back to any other ROM not built on official JB. This is more a recommendation rather than a requirement and the ROM will install without NVflash just fine.
....and finally the ability to read. Honestly this is this biggest mistake people make is they do not read things correctly so read, read and READ again just to be sure.
NOTE** You MUST be on the new Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader to be able to flash this new version which is available in the next section.**
Download "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip" & "Hairybean 2.31.zip" from the links below and copy to Micro SD.
Boot into recovery and flash "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip" from Micro SD card.
Click restart after completion and on restart LET THE BLUE LINE FILL ALL THE WAY, WHEN IT IS FINISHED IT WILL RESTART ITSELF BACK INTO TWRP OR INTO OS.
If the Tablet does not boot back into TWRP or OS then hold down Power and VOLUME DOWN for 10 seconds until it restarts and the icons appear. Then select RCK manually.
Go into TWRP and Wipe options and select Advanced Wipe. Select Dalvik Cache, System, Cache and Data and swipe to wipe. (Data2SD users also select SD-Ext)
Go to Install options and flash "Hairybean 2.31.zip" from Micro SD card.
When install is completed restart and allow 30-60 mins for the system to cache itself and then restart again upon which time you should now have a nice smooth TP.
Enjoy!

Everytime I go to flash Hairybean 2.3.zip I get a "Unable to open zip file." error. I've followed the instructions exactly and even went step by step with the video. I'm coming from a offical CM 10.2 nightly. Am I missing any steps?

Stuck while installing...
Hi everyone,
i am trying to install this new version over my 2.2 version, but i've got some problems:
i first installed the new TRWP : OK
i wiped as said : OK
then i installed the 2.3 zip file : OK
i reboot and then i can see the orange line with the "androwook" logo but the process stops and the tf201 reboots
then i can see the androwook logo with the orange line again for some seconds and i got a message telling me "android is updating", "optimizing apps 3 of 3" and "os is rebooting". The tab reboots (with androwook logo), reboots again, but the process never ends.
MD5 is ok, i tried several times and the result is always the same.
Any ideas?
Thx in advance.

Try wiping everything..
You shouldn't need to do this and none of the team has had this so I would suggest wiping everything before install in TWRP and then trying again.

Introduction
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Lg G3. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, once they are ported to that device. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable
You can also watch a video which shows it in action.
Warning!
It _is_ dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector, but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again. Make backups. Always.
Installation
Manual installation
Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those, big thanks to all who made them. There is also an awesome article on Linux Journal.
Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).
MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:
MultiROM (multirom-YYYYMMDD-vXX-d851.zip) - download the ZIP file from second post and flash it in recovery.
Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom_d851_YYYYMMDD.img) - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot or Flashify app to flash it.
Patched kernel - You can use either one of the stock ones in second post or third-party kernels which include the patch, you can see list in the second post. Download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
You current rom will not be erased by the installation.
Download links are in the second post.
Adding ROMs
1. Android
Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of stock 4.2 after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes 676mb of space.
Using USB drive
During installation, recovery lets you select install location. Plug in the USB drive, wait a while and press "refresh" so that it shows partitions on the USB drive. You just select the location (extX, NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported) and proceed with the installation.
If you wanna use other than default FAT32 partition, just format it in PC. If you don't know how/don't know where to find out how, you probably should not try installing MultiROM.
If you are installing to NTFS or FAT32 partition, recovery asks you to set image size for all the partitions - this cannot be easilly changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem, I can do nothing about that.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images, so installation of Ubuntu to 4Gb image on my pretty fast USB drive takes about 20 minutes.
Enumerating USB drive can take a while in MultiROM menu, so when you press the "USB" button in MultiROM, wait a while (max. 30-45s) until it searches the USB drive. It does it by itself, no need to press something, just wait.
Updating/changing ROMs
1. Primary ROM (Internal)
Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM in recovery and do Inject curr. boot sector.
2. Secondary Android ROMs
If you want to change the ROM, delete it and add new one. To update ROM, follow these steps:
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.

Credits: @tassadar for the awesome work; @invisiblek and @savoca @patrik.KT for them help
@Tectas cause i used his ( awesome) source code for building the kernel
And sure... tnx to @HPTesla and the other guy ( sorry i deleted for error the messages) for testing this!
...and all the people that now i forget
reservedPLEASE READ THE MULTIROM WIKI TO UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING
IMPORTANT: Need to be with a Kitkat stock Rom ( if you use my kernel ) or with a rom that have a kernel with the kexec hardboot patch.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1- reboot in recovery and flash the new TWRP with Multirom support; --> HERE
2- reboot the recovery;
3- flash the kernel with the kexec hardboot patch HERE
4- flash the multirom zip; ---> HERE
5- install every Rom you want ( advanced--> multirom --> add rom )
6- reboot and choose the rom you want to boot.
You can also use a Cyanogenmod or similar with the wonderful Rin Kernel by @Tectas --> DOWNLOAD FOLDER
If you want show me your love for this you can consider a small DONATION
Issues:
1- On boot the touch need some seconds to work in multirom menu, you can use the volume keys to move and the power button to select.
You are awesome man. Flashed and installed with no issues. Currently running BarRin and a backup of Dirty Unicorns. I was kinda stressing on setting this up but it was way easier then I imagined it would be.
You will have a donation coming your way as soon as I get paid.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It's so exciting to see how far the G3 is coming along and I love it! Thank you! I will definitely be testing this in the future (just not right now) :good::good::good::good:
I remember this. Also safestrap. These are sweet. Thanks.

this sounds incredible....so is it possible to run barrin and a lolipop rom?
If I flash the modified twrp in the op so I can use this ROM, would I need to re flash a different twrp if I didn't want to use multirom anymore? Or is the twrp in the op good for any rom?

I've been testing this since a few days ago. Once properly installed and set up, when my phone boots I have the choice of stock and 6 other roms to choose from. It's the best, really. Since BarRin is modified stock, you can use it as your primary as long as you use the included kernel from this post. Also, rin kernel which is included with BarRin will be getting a kexec-hardboot patch shortly. I'm sure engine will start using it once I build it.

I was able to restore my nandroid made with the original bump twrp just fine. If you do it the classic way thru twrp you will lose multirom boot bc it restored my old kernel but yes. You can restore old backups in this twrp just fine from my tests.
I cant for the life of me get my BarRin backups to restore, either as primary or secondary roms, I took two for safe measure, one to my internal and one to a USB OTG, both say when being Restored: "Unable to find file system (first period)." when it first moves to restore then finally fails completely with the same error followed by "Unknown restore method for '/rpm'
Now I have two questions:
I created this backup using the original non-multirom twrp and am trying to restore it with the multirom twrp, could this be the issue?
Is it as simple as with the N7 multirom to just flash the original twrp, restore, and restart the process?
I can confirm I can flash both CM12 and BarRin fresh to the Primary partition and both boot without error.
EDIT: Color me even more confused.. Flashed back to 2.8.40 twrp, got the same errors when restoring but phone booted just fine, Truly stumped

Yeah i have no idea. I made a nandroid of zv4 stock, installed everything then made another nandroid after. I never wiped anything, until I went to test nandroids. But ultimately I just kept stock as primary and multiple aosp as secondaries. I restored both nandroids thru twrp fine, but didn't try to add backups via multirom advanced option in twrp.....
Like I said I have no clue, Works currently though and thats what matters BarRin Primary and CM12 Secondary, Now to try the other lovelies!, Thanks for this!
I'm using barin now and I have a backup of it. I don't have the full barin zip downloaded. Can I restore my barin backup as my primary rom as long as I use the kernel in the op? I don't want to download barin unless I have to. Slow speeds where I'm at today.

I believe so. Restore your backup and reflash the kernel. If that doesn't bring back up the multirom boot, go back into twrp and reflash the third zip, the multirom scripts. But hopefully you only need the kernel.

Man I appreciate the help. Hopefully this last question will clarify all of it for me.
As I said, I'm on barin now. If I flash all 3 items in the op in order, will my current rom then be known as my "primary rom"? Then I can flash secondary roms, right?

Yeah, that's what I did. I restored my stock zv4 nandroid(since BarRin is stock based you're good) then flashed the kernel, twrp and multirom. I rebooted after each(kernel I rebooted system to make sure kernel was OK, twrp, I rebooted back into recovery to make sure twrp was updated then flashed multirom and rebooted system again). Then under advanced->multirom in twrp I added roms from flashable zips and under list roms I flashed gapps for each.
As for the help, anytime, it's what this community should be all about. Just pay it forward man.
I keep getting kernel crash and unable to load my 2nd rom...my default rom...cm12 runs fine...I installed the rin kernel for that...and I.tried using the kernel in post 2 for the 2nd rom which is barin...I tried with and without the kernel...
edit: ok...got 2 cm roms working as multi boot...but still can't get cm 12 and barrin working..kernel crash right after the lg screen when trying to load barrin as secondary rom

Fantastic thanks a lot guys
Using the AOSP kernel provided in 2nd post, I'm not getting any MultiROM features in TWRP. Do I need to flash the stock-based kernel on install and then overwrite with AOSP? Thx!

I have a theme in my current TWRP 2.8.3 and that's what reboots. Same 2.8.3 as before. No MULTIROM options in Advanced. I've been per the OP. I guess my question is, can this be initiated from an AOSP system? All flashes and reboots are successful, but nothing changes... Thanks for the help @Pump Ac7i0n. Your builds make my g3 rock like it oughta.
im new to xperia Z2
and i want to understand some concepts i been reading around
Rom
Boot
Recovery
STOCK FIRMWARES
its all for rooting phone but i want to understand what are they about and what they are doing
thanks in advance
A custom ROM is basically a different operating system for your smartphone / tablet. I's still Android, but the developer has included his own options/themes/settings. In short: A modified firmware. ROMs for the Z2 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/#romList
Boot is when you boot you device I think You might be thinking of a bootloader. The bootloader loads the actual Android operating system. You can "unlock" your bootloader, witch let's you run modified firmware (witch is not based on stock firmware) on your device.
Recovery can be started before the actual boot process of the Android operating system by pressing a certain key combination. It contains reset options for the smartphone and also the option to clear the cache, provide a backup, restore, among a bunch of other useful features. With a custom recovery, you can also create or install new version of custom ROMs, by flashing zip files.
Stock Firmwares is a unmodified firmware, like the one your device was sold with. You should always have a stock firmware(can also be called a stock ROM) for your device on your computer, in case you get in a bootloop(where your phone boots and then shuts down again, and then turns on and so on). You can then flash the stock firmware and maybe resolve the problem. Stock firmwares can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
Hope this explains
so let me check if i get this right
i need to have unlocked boot-loader if i want to flash my phone with custom Rom
OR
i can have custom recovery to be able to install custom Rom but from the phone it self
either way i must have unlocked boot-loader to be able to install the custom Rom by flashing the phone or by using custom recovery
am i getting this right?

You can flash a custom rom with locked bootloader, but then the rom has to be based on stock firmware. Roms like Cyanogenmod, witch is not based on a stock firmware, requires unlocked bootloader.
Here is a Screenshot of the Rom "Existenz Y"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can see it says "based on stock" that means you can flash it with locked bootloader

Well, I have not heard that story, and neither have I experienced it. I can use my phone with mobile data activated for 2 days without charging (stamina mode activated). However, I am now using the eXistenz ROM (lollipop ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-existenz-y-1-0-0-preparing-thread-t3113649 KitKat ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-existenz-ultimate-1-0-5-light-dark-t2835196), witch automaticly deactivates mobile data when my phone connects to a wifi network, and then activates it again when I disconnect from the wifi network. The battery holds for a very long time with this ROM aswell.
You have to experiment, and experience for yourself what is best for your daily use of you phone
so if i want to install this Rom i do these steps
From Stock Sony Lollipop:
Backup your datas.
Reboot in recovery.
Flash the rom.
If something went wrong, do a fresh install.
but how to reboot in recover dos stock Rom have recovery
also what about Fresh installation:
LOCKED & UNLOCKED Bootloaders
Flash latest rootable Sony's rom with flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2162907)
Root
Install NUT dual recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2261606) or the recovery of your choice.
Reboot in recovery, Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache.
Flash the rom.
1- what is rootable Sony's rom
2-what dos he mean with Root
3-what is NUT dual recovery
4- will this steps make my phone boot-loader unlocked?

First, let me say sory for the slow reply, I was working
1. The latest rootable rom(or rootable firmware) is the last firmware you can root. At this time, root for Lollipop can only be done by downgrading to KitKat, root, install recovery and then flash either a Custom ROM, or a Lollipop zip file. So the latest rootable ROM for sony xperia z2 is now KitKat, buildnumber 17.1.2.A.0.314.
2. Root itself is just a user with elevated permissions, who can do anything to any file or folder in the system.
3. NUTS dual recovery is a set of two recoveries, TWRP and ClockworkMod. These are just two different recoveries, and can do pretty much the same, however someone likes TWRP over ClockworkmMod, and opposite. Stock ROM(Or Stock firmware) does NOT have recovery installed. To get recovery on Lollipop, you have to downgrade to KitKat, root, and install recovery.
4. No, this steps will NOT unlock your bootloader. To unlock your bootloader, you have to go to Sony's website, type in your device' IMEI, your email and get a code. Flashing a Custom ROM will NOT unlock your bootloader. (If you want to unlock your bootloader, here is the link to Sony's webisite: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/).
A fresh insallation is when you wipe all data, and your whole phone. (Pretty much a factory reset) and then flash the rom. The ClockworkMod recovery even has an option who says "Clean to install a New ROM." witch is a fresh installation
Stock firmwares for Lollipop and KitKat can be forund here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
Don't be afraid to ask if there are anything else you are curious about!

If you have recovery now, you can flash it right away, but if you do not have recovery, that is your steps!

Turn of your phone, and then boot it again, If it vibrates and the led lights up, you have recovery.

well i can't writ to my SD card
i can't save office files to it
i can't you use file commander to move files from internal memory to sd card
my camera make unknown error when i try to record video and select SD card as storage
how can i be able to writ to my sd card and save files to it
Use a PC or something similar (card reader, spare phone etc). Be careful though, make sure you don't wipe he system if you can't read the memory card, it's ok to factory reset, but if you wipe the system partition and you can't access the ROM files on your memory card from recovery, you won't be able to use your phone until you can get one that reads (or phone repaired). a factory reset option is all you need from recovery for most things though, so only "wipe to install a new rom" if your card definitely works! Worst comes to worst and something did happen, flashtool should have your back anyway
how can i let office get Editing access to files on SD Card

You have to be rooted. Then you download sdfix for kitkat (works on lollipop too) from play store, run it and you're done.
