After flashing the last german rom 6.0.1 with xperifirm, I am not able to enter the recovery mode. I followed all the tutorials, all possible combinations with the keys, all programs (with and without root), etc.
Any ideas?
As far as I know, you flashed with ftf rom, which wiped thoroughly custom recovery. You need to revert to 4.4 kitkat, root it, get custom recovery, than flash it with android 6.0, but only using flashable prerooted rom in zip file with custom recovery

Use build number 314. It is available on XperiFirm. Use XZDR .21 to install the Xperia Z Dual Recovery. It will temporarily root with TowelRoot to be able to installa the recovery. After the installation the phone will reboot; now you have 2 choices: Install the SuperSU .zip to keep root on KitKat or directly install a Marshmallow ROM

Hello.
I have updated my Xperia Tablet Z2 LTE (SGP521) to version 5.0.2 (Lollipop) [23.1.A.0.690].
I have never done the root on my Xperia Tablet Z2.
But now I want to do the root on my tablet, what should I do to make the root?
Thanks in advance.
You have to downgrade to KitKat, root it, install custom recovery, then flash a pre-rooted Lollipop ROM zip using custom recovery.

Where is to find "custom recovery"?
Read my post here. It is for SGP511, so you will have to use other firmware and recovery files, but it should be the same method.
Sorry if this question was asked before but i wanna know if there is a methot to root sony Xperia z ultra 5.0 lollipop,model C6833 with firmware 14.5.A.0.242. If anyone knows a good way to root it please post it here. TThanks in advace!
I'm afraid that we don't have "one click root" right now.
You would have to downgrade back to 4.4.4 (with root and custom recovery) and flash a pre-rooted 5.0
This guide worked for me.
Thanks but the thing is that i am allready in 5.0 and i don't have a rooted device....so...how can i di that downgrade in order to root it?

There is a section there when you are already on 5.0.
I too was already on 5.0 and no root but following this guide, I now have a rooted 5.0.1.
Basically, the steps are:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Download 4.4.4 FTF and use Flash Tool to downgrade your phone
3) Root and install custom recovery on your downgraded phone (you should already be on 4.4.4 by this time)
4) Download 5.0.1 FTF and create a pre-rooted flashable 5.0 using prefCreator
5) Flash your pre-rooted 5.0
Read the guide, you can never get lost.
Thanks a lot!!

I don't remember if you need UB to flash ftf
Flash kitkat ftf
Use easy root guide
Install recovery
You can flash an official Sony ROM via recovery and it comes pre rooted
Hey guys!
Ive been trying to figure out how to go about rooting my tablet but since I am new at this stuff I just want to make sure I dont **** up
My questions are:
1. My tablet is 5.0.2 atm, as far as I know I have to downgrade to be able to root?
2. If I need to downgrade I believe I need a FTF file, I have a LTE version which is bought in sweden. Do I need a specifik FTF file for my country or can I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741233to downgrade my tablet?
3. Can i still use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792056 to root my device after I downgraded the firmware or is it outdated? If its outdated is there any updated guide I can use?
Any help is appreciated!

1. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461. But it ain´t give proper root and there is also some security concerns with it but your decision.
2. Yes. You need FTF file which is 4.4.2 firmware for you device. Latest rootable is 17.1.2.A.0.314. Here is download link for SGP 521 if you want. https://mega.co.nz/#!cN5ykLrL!0w38j4lWIHFm1rZdwexScG9Cpz2BghrSZPpLRkyTcL8 . However your link should work also. If you only use it for rooting it don´t have to be for your region.
3. Your link would work for rooting properly. However there is other methods too.
4. After you achieved root just install custom recovery for you device and flash latest prerooted firmware for your device with it and you are good.

There is no need to unlock bootloader if you just want to root your device. Bootloader unlocking is needed if you want to try custom kernels or roms that use custom kernels. And yes this work for your device also.

OK so with a locked bootloader I can downgrade to 4.4.2 for my region model root using kingroot..? Then install a custom recovery without having an unlocked bootloader then flash Pre rooted ftf lollipop ROM build. Is the updated kernel and firmware in the Pre rooted stock ROMs? Thanks.

Yes you can downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware with locked bootloader. After that you don´t need kingroot to root your device because @[NUT]´s dualrecovery pc installer can root your device before it install custom recovery. After that you can flash prerooted firmware (= .zip file) with custom recovery. Usually prerooted stock roms has whole firmware including kernel. Their also include SuperSu and custom recovery. And there is no need to unlock your bootloader in any step for this unless you want to do that.
OK so I flashed a ftf file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3061431 I don't think its right as its for HK etc. A 4.4.2 ftf. 17.1.a.2.402 HK/sa/as/kw.
I was on 23.1.A.1.28 in the UK as O2 UK being the 4g network. But according to that thread the 23.1.a.1.28 I was on is generic HK so I'm confused. How can I get back to my original then? Thanks

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though. I'm currently now rooted and all fine but what I want to do is have a Pre rooted flashable zip of my ftf I've made so it is my actual stock ROM I'm running. I've looked into the prfcreator but don't wanna do it and run the risk of bricking my z2 tab. Have you used prfcreator? I guess all I need is my ftf file to use. The most update supersu zip I want. And then I need to somehow have the xzdualrecovery.zip but not sure if that's all I need or if I need the current Sony signed kernel or what. Thanks

Depending what you want but if you include everything else but signing you end up to fully functional prerooted firmware.

No need to be sorry. You don't need to sign your zip because TWRP can handle unsigned zip files just fine. There is nothing wrong to sign your zip file but some times it can cause problems. Your choice.
Hey guys So i've been trying to root my xperia z2 for 2 days now but I have some difficulties. Android version is 5.1.1 and build number is 23.4.A.1.264. I tried to root with easy root app and kingroot but it just does not work.I'll be really thankful if you give me some advice
it seems you cannot root with the current rom , you need to flash a pre-rooted ftf rom using flashtool .

You need to downgrade to a different version to root. Try the search button, there are a lot of threads here about rooting because is people like yourself.

No need to use kingroot. Downgrading to 4.4.2 (build 314) will allow the XZDR to temporarily root and install the recovery and when the phone reboots you install the prerooted package and its done.
Hi,
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 with Android 4.4.4 KK already rooted.
Now I would like to upgrade my Android to the latest available stock Rom without losing root, DualRecovery or my data, in order to be able to use Magisk.
Could you tell me the best way to do that?? I assume I have to create a pre-rooted Firmware and upgrade through DualRecovery. How would I do that??
Thanks so much for your help in adavnce!
You can download the firmware you want from this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-z2-d6503-customised-tur-23-5-t3442058/page10

There is no need to flash anything else just download the the customization you want(like Mena Arabic for persian language)and there is almost zero different between them
And flash it through recovery and there is no need for fix many times but if you got stuck in bootloop just flash the bootloop fix : https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
Okay thanks so much, this is what I thought. Download the zip, install via Recovery and thats it. Perfect
How did you root kitkat 4.4.4? Do you have pre root firmware for 4.4.4?
