I'm not understanding that thread. Does it affect the z5c as well? I've been unable to flash anything .200 to my phone from twrp and even the flash tool won't work to update either, this could be why.

hello all.
all the info out there is really confuse me.
some one please give me a valid links to here.
please correct me if im wrong somewhere in my understanding:
i own xperia Z2. my version is 5.1.1 stock.
the sound is crazy low ( after i put the max db at setting-sound...), so i searched what can i do about it, i've found there is a mod that fix this. as i understand, for that mod i should have recovery and rooted device, so i thought to myself "hey, if im gonna do root and install a recovery ill also will flash a nice rom"...
so i tried to follow some guides here but they are realy confused me.
at the links it says the root won't work for any device...
also it says it is gonna work for lockboot or something...
more over there is many methods and i dont know what is the simplest one.
there is more info that realy confused me and i want to be 100% sure im doing the correct steps...
I know i need to root and install a recovery, then i i need to pick some rom and flash it ( right?)
so please give me a links to here for what i need to flash a rom for my sony xperia z2 device ( v 5.1.1 stock).
ty for helping.
1.
The way i'd root my device on a locked bootloader is
- download flashtool and a older Firmware FTF
- FLASH the older firmware to my device and on the older firmware use a root tool to root my device
- I can now use root access to install recovery (XZdualrecovery)
- Download PRFcreator and a newer FTF with a superSU flashable zip
- Use prfcreator to make a flashable zip out of the new FW( include kernel and and all )
- copy it to device and flash it and be sure to wipe caches and data per big flash (e.g heavy FW changes)
- also google around for some things and make sure it all matches your device
(FTFs and xz recovery)
Also search for TA backup it may be useful for before you unlock your bootloader if you do
2/1. Use xda search tools to search Z2 section for root tool scripts
2. FTFs can be found in general section
3. You may want to add xz recovery to your upgrade flashable zip
4. Feel free to ask any aditional questions if you need more direction or detail
5. Unlocking your bootloader voids your warrenty (and wipes TA) if you restore your TA sony cant tell if you have unlocked your bootloader or not
(it also relocks your BL upon restoreing so be on a stock kernel)
what is FTF? is it the android version i have?
why i need an older one? i cant flash with 5.1.1?
about the steps:

is that root guide good for me?

FTF
I dont know its definition but its a full Firmware with included partitions so its essentially a factory firmware package
Kindof
Ita FW version and android verson
- Android rootkits use security exploits which google or sony may patch respectively
Rootkits dont work with newer FWs you will have to try 4.4.2 or the 55FWs
That guide looks good
After flashing if be sure to download a Newer FTF that matches your ROM version and be sure you flash only kernel
(exclude all) (some roms may not include a kernel)
To flash a rom after that one you can reboot into recovery and flash any stock based rom (and stock kernel to match Fw Version if it changes heavily)
Rootkits dont work with newer FWs you will have to try 4.4.2 or the 55FWs

55fws i ment the last numbers of a build number
The bugs that rootkits exploit are mostly fixed on newer Firmware versions (fw for short)
You need to downgrade to 55 or 402 fw to use some of the rootkits
i following those steps:
Flash official Sony's 4.4.2 17.1.2.A.0.314 with flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2162907)
Root using any method
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 Cache.
Flash the rom.
Follow AROMA Installer.
so i went to do step 1:
but there- it is written:
With this release, before unlocking first time, root your device
so? i need to do step2 first, then step1?
That comment is about unlocking you bootloader. So no step 1 then step 2.

ok thx ill try it
So i recently updated to Marshmallow with root (using this guide hxxp://twigstechtips.blogspot.co.il/2016/04/sony-z5-compact-root-without-losing-ta.html)
And now i want to update to 32.2.A.0.224 (.....without wiping data......), but i'm not sure what exactly to do..
Here are my thoughts :
Download latest 32.2.A.0.224 FTF , extract the kernel from it and patch it (using hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605)
Download latest SuperSU, then create flashable zip (using hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904)
flash it , and then flash the patched kernel (maybe to reflash drm keys after? )
so i'm not quite sure that's the optimized method.. if you guys can share some light on it that would be great!
(ps : sorry about the links, not sure what are the exact rules on them)
I came here for this exact question as well.

Hi. I decided to go for it because TWRP was there to revert any mistake. I just followed Twig's guide again using the 32.2.A.0.224 firmware and newest version of tools and now happily running 6.0.1 with root.

I already have this version . But it's can't read rom files
I wouldn't know about what you are doing, but version 9.18 worked for me when newer versions didn't. Maybe give it a try.

For flash tool, the ROM file needed is .ftf format. To flash .img ROM you need to use Command line to flash

If you have rooted with Magisk then stock ramdisk will be backeup and is present in device only just uninstall magisk and flash stock ramdisk it will unroot your device.
Did you manage to find the stock firmware ?
Maybe a fix.
You can try flashing the attached file.
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk col_al10_magisk.img
Let me know if I was able to help you!
*Warning* : Please flash at your own risk. I will not be responsible for any damage to your device.
I have searched but most gb roms are either dead ( no downloads ) or the firmware files dont work....
You mean to stock gingerbread? (I have an St27i which is running LineageOS Android 7 I think, but I forgot how I did it exactly.)
Im guessing you will need Xperia Flashtool to flash an ftf firmware file to that phone.
I searched here for firmware , but I'm not sure that build version (6.2.A.0.400) corresponds to which Android version.
Also, if you are using adb to communicate with that phone and you are getting errors, you might need an older version of platform-tools which contains an older version of adb.

I'm using flash tool but I can't find firmware that the flash tool can read.. Every single one I used displayed nothing in the firmwares list, I tried samsony one from this forum and that's it and yes I'm trying to flash stock cause of the poor performance of 4.1.2..

I figured it out, I needed to use a old version of flash tool, a samsony ftf file and install the drivers and prepare the flashmode thing before plugging it in.
So you got it running Gingerbread now?
