Hey guys, I have an Xperia Z2 D6503 with Android 5.1.1 FW 23.4.A.1.200 non-rooted with LB
I saw this ROM -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-z2-264-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3276227
In the instructions it only says to flash it from recovery and wipe data, and since it's stock based, i was wondering if i needed to root my phone or install a special recovery before flashing this room
Thanks in advance
You don't need to root, but you do need to unlock your boot loader to be able to flash anything that isn't flashed with Sony's own tools and have their signatures.
You migt need to load a different recovery (i.e. twrp or cwm). I can't say for sure.
dont forget to save drm keys first..... I really miss the sony camera, i didnt save the keys and now the camera performance is not as good as before. Tbh u will prefer the stock more.

Did you try using the drm restoration zip?
guys don't mislead. All you need is to downgrade to 23.1.A.1.28, root it via KingRoot and install XZ Dual Recovery. No unlock bootloader required

Last i checked 5.1 was not supported on kingroot, and not many custom roms can be used on locked bootloader. He asked about a new rom.

He asked about a stock rom. He doesn't need to unlock his bootloader. He can simply downgrade and root then install recovery and flash that stock deodexed rom. Only CM and AOSP based roms need unlocked bootloader. All the sony stock based roms can install in a LB..

Follow this instructions
First download 23.1.A.1.28 ftf and flash it using flashtool. Or download any kitkat ftf and flash it via flashtool. Then root it and install NUT dual recovery. Then move the rom u want to flash to ur phone and enter recovery. Wipe data factory reset and flash rom. Then reboot.. Thats it. U don't need to unlock ur bootloader..
If u don't know how to downgrade u can simply see a YouTube video. There is lot of tutorials available in xda or YouTubes.
U can't root 5.1.1 directly if u are on a LB. So follow my method and enjoy a stock deodexed rom..
Here is a rooting method

hi bro,
just one question:
i unlocked my BL but i am on stock ROM (and of course i saved my DRM-keys before )
So relocking my device will bring back the bravia engine etc?
Or is a complete reinstall after relocking needed?

I've searched around and can't seem to find the solution.
I'm on WB5 w/ Doomkernel and I want to go back to 2.1, and try a fresh reinstall of everything, including unlocking my bootloader (which I also don't know how to do, since I'm using doomkernel for locked bootloaders and there's one for unlocked, and I don't want to mess up anything).
Thanks to any who answer
download stock 2.1 ROM..then flash it with Xrecovery.make afull wipe- if u used 2.1 custom ROM i prefer just wipe cache partition-.

You can't flash a whole stock rom with xRecovery, since you can't flash kernels and basebands through it.
You should use flashtool to downgrade your phone.

Alright, I'll try it on the weekend. Thanks for the replies

Im on the new WB 5.00c and want to downgrade to 2.1.A.0.435 Global Generic ROM - Root / JIT v2 / xRecovery - Working WiFi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936462)
it also includes a base band. Should I downgrade from the current 71 based one, after i flash the rom listed? I am as little unsure as I have always upgraded upwards. Was not sure if there was an incompatibility. I should know this by now as I have flashed many roms with xrec and flashtool also. My whole intention is to unlock the bootloader. I dont mind a full down grade since I have found 2 major issues with the wb rom, and may or may not upgrade back to it. Just need a reassurance is all.

Whenever you flash a firmware either upgrading or downgrading, just make sure that you flash the proper/compatible baseband and kernel files. These are generally provided with the firmware in the form of .tft file or the proper kernel is mentioned in the post itself!!
Here is a list of all the firmwares!!
Simply flash using Flashtool. Link is mentioned in the post itself!!
Edit: you can try the firmware mentioned in the link. Just remember to flash the Firmware files using flashtool as mentioned!!

Thanks always helps to have reassurances!

No you can't install a custom ROM without root access...
First root your phone and then flash the custom ROM
PS- instead of downgrading to GB...
You can flash a pre rooted Kernel via flashtool to ROOT your phone...
It will automatically install the recovery too...
For more details about flashing Kernel look in the guides in stickies section

Ok. So I have to put a stock rom, this root stock rom again and then try to install the Rom MoonBreaker.
Two more things: I do not have stock rom JellyBean, but could not find the forum. And most importantly: the kernel installed on my device works on any rom or any rom have to be a specific kernel?
Sorry for many questions.
Annex Photo kernel version.

There's no need for you to downgrade it to .264. Just wipe system, cache, ART cache and data prior flashing when on MM's recovery then you are good to go.
