so what is the right way to update the phone software
You need to flash back to a clean firmware, fully stock, no mods to be able to use OTA update. Use flashtool or Sony companion app. Or check one of the builds here on XDA.

Hi all,
i have a d6502 (xperia z2) and i wanted to install custom ROMs i was on 5.1.1 updated via ota first i downgraded to 5.0.2 to root and install recovery i used kingroot for rooting and root checker to verify then i installed XZR recovery app on my phone to install the recovery, the app installed the recoveries successfully when i boot into recovery (TWRP or Philz touch) and try to install a custom rom i get an error says this rom is for D6502.. and your device is leo(Z3) so the recovery says my device is Z3 but its Z2 D6502 how is that possible.
After that i tries to root an kitkat and try so i flashed KITKAT 4.4.2 stock and root via root kit on windows and the root worked then i tried to install XZ dual recovery via my PC so i pluged in my z2 and installed the recoveries reboot into recovery and tried to install the same custom rom i tried on lollipop this time it says my device is Z1 how is this happening please help any advises are welcome.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

You can't update OTA if you have modified your phone. Use Flashtool (you WILL loose root)
To start used this thread to root with no problems here
Then realized needed to flash and root with Magisk to be able play pogo, so removed root and put phone back to default os with Sony companion and tried to flash Magisk but every time i do the phone wont boot and I just get a flashing red led when i try

Magisk need to be patched in order to work on stock ROM, use THIS.
I have Sony Xperia F5122 model.
Phone has TWRP and it's rooted. It has Magisk 14.0 for hidden root. I don't remember if I installed a kernel.
It's curently running build 34.2.A.2.69. version. Now xperia system update is getting all up in my nortification bar to update the software to 34.A.0.228. When I try to update it trough the phone it fails every time. I assume this is because I have TWRP not original recovery. How do I update without losing my data? I was thinking of flashtool but I don't know which boxes to tick for wipe and exclude. I have original firmware from xperifirm and compiled with flashtool.

you can use flashtool, exclude fotakernel so you'll keep twrp. After flashing rom use magisk app to get root or create and flash a rooted kernel

I realized that I can't or don't know how to get into fastboot because I have TWRP.
Ok now I remembered how to get into fastboot. Now I don't have root. Twrp asks for a decryption password which I don't know. Installing supersu from flash didn't do anything.
Hello,
I have a sony z2 D6503 android 6.0.1 (flash the 6.0.1 so i can force it to update) bootloader unlocked and previusly install xzdualrecovery (for the 6.0.1 force update),
now the after i year from when i install the 6.0.1 i didn't need to access recovery mode, until 1 week ago when i wanted to flash with resurrection remix 7.1.2 nougat, so i try first to access to twrp by hardware button, nothing happen (neither the led notification light turn pink so i can't access to recovery).
Then i try to flash again twrp or any different recovery from adb, and i try again either from adb and manually to access to recovery, and nothing again.
So i install kingroot, root the phone and use quick boot or other app so i can access to recovery from them, and nothing again.
So after that i factory reset the phone (to 6.0.1 because is the only available on my phone since the time that i flash it) and did again evey single step that i mention before.
I read every thread, post forum for everything, adb problem , bootloader, twrp, recovery and other but neither of them help.
In the end i was force to open a thread here so maybe you can help me.

Flash elite kernel version 3(it is important that it should be version 3) it gas a built-in recovery and it is compatible with stock based rom
And if you want to flash RR rom you should flash boot.img from rom zip and provided recovery in dsired fourm
