So, my end goal is to have Resurrection remix marshmallow running on my D6503 Z2. I guess I made the mistake of updating the phone to the stock Marshmallow ROM from sony so I can not find a way to root the phone. So is there a step by step guide on how I could possibly root and add a recovery tool?

Have you got an unlocked bootloader?
If so, flash a custom kernel with a recovery and install your chosen rom?
If you have a locked bootloader you can't run a custom rom, like resurrection remix.

I do not have a unlocked bootloader but the issue is all the tutorials assume you have the lolipop version of android on the Z2 running with root. If I can't find out how to root on 6.0.1 on the Z2 then its kinda pointless..
To root mm, downgrade to lollipop or kitkat and follow a guide. If you don't want to downgrade, unlock you bootloader.
They are your options. This had been asked. This has been answered. Use the search.

Sorry for late reply, I didnt install any new build, i was on stock jb build with V20c baseband, thats it,
n u need to be on latest stock jb build for unlocking bootloader,
above method works on almost any baseband

simple one is, (on device)
if u r rooted,
then install teminal emulater
open that
type "sudo"
hit enter
then type " adb reboot oem-unlock "
device will boot into bootloader mode,
press volume up, done

Updated P765 -v20C(Indian Version) to CM11 -Kang by Dhiru
Hi All,
First of all Thank you Droideking for the detailed guide for a noob like me. :good::good:
I have updated my L9 p765 Indian version with baseband version 20c (latest JB Update India) to CM11. I have used the ROM - UnOfficial CyanogenMod 11 [KANG] 11 by dhiru1602. The experience is awesome. The GUI is liquid smooth no lags unlike the stock ROM.:victory:
About the guide I would like to confirm that it worked absolutely fine for my Indian Version p765 with v20c baseband. There were no restarts encountered in fastboot mode. Only thing which happened was that when i was running adb command in the command prompt i got the error on command prompt saying adb is outdated please update. The error was gone when i ran the command prompt with run as admin option in windows. Also i used RomManager instead of GooManager as it was not available on playstore.
One more observation - Droideking, in the guide you have mentioned that install gapps after installing ROM and restarting the phone after completing setup. I followed the same but then i realised that RomManager was done as i did a reset and wiped the cache and done a reset. So had to download the RomManager apk on the sdcard and install to boot into recovery to install the Gapps. So i guess its better to install the Gapps soon after you have installed the rom in the recovery before restart.
Here are some of the screenshots of my p765..
Error during installation
When I choose install update from ext sd card and after that there is a error occur
The error is shown in picture...
Please help...
and when i use my stock rom unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped. is occurred.

Thanks to blueether for His very useful thread
! ATTENTION !
There is a SIMPLE SOLUTION HERE
The C6833 modem works for my C6802 [TESTED]
Thanks to Triflot
Requirements:
*. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THIS WILL DO TO YOUR PHONE
1. Xperia Z Ultra (Absolutely! ) [Tested on XZU with Unlocked Bootloader]
2. FlashTool, Download link & tutorial here
3. Required FTF (NUT's *.532 & *.136)
4. Custom ROM
5. PC running Windows OS
How to get into Flash Mode:
1. Power Off your Z Ultra
2. Press & hold Vol-
3. Plug your phone to your PC (USB driver > read for intallation step here)
How to get into FastBoot Mode:
1. Power Off your Z Ultra
2. Press & hold Vol+
3. Plug your phone to your PC (USB driver > read for intallation step here)
[TRICK] Get Into FastBoot Mode/Flash Mode
If you're having trouble getting into FastBoot Mode/Flash Mode, you can try this trick
1. You have to be on Windows
2. Make sure you opened FlashTool & installed driver for Z Ultra
3. Open Device Manager
4. Show hidden device [Not really necessary, I did this to make sure my Z Ultra driver is installed]
5. Plug your phone while holding Vol+ (FastBoot) OR Vol- (Flash)
6. If it doesn't recognized by Windows, then Scan for hardware changes (this simulate USB Unplug & Replug for me), do this while holding the Volume Rocker
7. Repeat number 6 until you got it connected
For Windows 8/8.1 Only:
When you connected Z Ultra using Flash Mode to your PC, it'll disconnect after a while, to solve this problem, try to prepare your files you want to flash first, then when FlashTool asked to connect your phone, do step 1 to 7, your phone won't disconnect at the time it being flashed
Fresh Install [RECOMMENDED]
Steps:
1. Flash NUT's Modified *.532 STOCK ROM Using FlashTool [Default Settings, Flash Everything]
2. Flash extracted boot.img file from CUSTOM ROM You Want To Install via FastBoot Using FlashTool
3. Boot Into CWM/TW Recovery
4. Flash CUSTOM ROM + GAPPS via Recovery
5. Flash Custom Kernel Here If You Want To Use It, If Not, Then Go To Step 6
6. Reboot Into System You Just Installed [IDK If This Is Necessary]
7. Reboot To Flash Mode
8. Flash ANY *.136 STOCK ROM Using FlashTool
Settings:
[Wipe] Data : Unchecked
[Exclude] Kernel : Checked
[Exclude] System : Checked
9. Reboot, Hopefully IMEI and BASEBAND Will Be Available
Thanks to x1123 for his post here

3. Boot Into CWM/TW Recovery
4. Flash CUSTOM ROM + GAPPS via Recovery [GAPPS Must Be Installed, Otherwise Google Framework Will Crash]

You should't have to. Just get recovery and flash. There does seem to be an issue with the odd c6802.
If you do lose you IMEI just flashing a FTF will restore it

Hi! I've installed CM11 on my phone (C6806) and have lost the IMEI. How do I flash a FTF? I'm new to all this, can you please give me a bit more info? Thanks!

I lost my imei yesterday so i have to go through this process. And since i'm already in a custom rom, so i don't need to flash boot.img via fastboot right? Just flash everything via recovery?
And if i do lost imei again, i just need to restore the backup of my previos rom?
Coming from a nexus, this quite confusing :/

Thank you. So I need to install Flashtool. That should be easy enough. But what FTF should I use? I have a C6806 (GPE). I'm looking at this page - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921. Should I use "STOCK ROM] [FTF] Xperia Z Ultra (C6806) 14.3.A.0.681 "Generic US""?

I don't think you should flash ftf to a gpe z ultra. I've read somewhere it'll brick your device.
Dang! OK, so how do I get my IMEI back then?

give blueether solution a try, because i don't really have many experience with GPe edition of XZU
Does this guide assume you've unlocked bootloader or is that not necessary?
Only asking because it says from stock to custom rom and I read that as completely stock untouched.

so i flash CM m11 over carbon rom, and i got this imei and baseband lost again.
is that mean i have the odd one and i have to do these painful steps to flash a rom?
is there any way to flash a rom, gapps and full wipe just from the recovery without losing imei and baseband?
thanks

i tried this AFTER i unlocked my bootloader, so idk about XZU with locked bootloader, but i think it's safer to unlock your bootloader first, it's to avoid soft brick of the device, many thread says u must unlock your bootloader before you install any custom ROM

i'm afraid idk the other way, if you want to change your rom, then you must follow the fresh install guide, but if ure upgrading [from CM 11 to later CM 11] then follow upgrade guide
I looked at this a bit tonight. There's a c6x02.sh script which is run at the end of flashing ROMs on togari and honami (Z Ultra and Z1), which copies some particular modem firmware files needed for certain device models (C6802 for togari, C6902 for honami) if it detects that the device is one of these. This script is included in CM11, PA, PAC and SlimKat, but not in others, like Carbon and LiquidSmooth (because TARGET_DEVICE is improperly set in rhine-common/releasetools.py). As @wtfhax says here, the problem may be something around this.
Can someone with the lost IMEI problem on an AOSP ROM try flashing the two attached zips and tell us if either one solves the problem? One is with the c6x02 modem files which some ROMs copy over, while the other is with the "normal" files. Extracted from the latest CM11 nightly. Remember to say which device model you use.
Flash the attached c6833-modem.zip file for a workaround.

Thanks, that's great!
Did you try the c6x02 file, too? And it didn't work? I wonder why it's included, then - I guess we should ask CM on their issue tracker. In the meantime, you can just delete the c6x02.sh file from the root of any ROM zip you want to install, and it should use functional modem files. (Or use the above zip, but it may become obsolete in the future.)
Still, this doesn't tell the full story if for example Carbon users have had the IMEI problem, since it doesn't have the script. Have you had reports of that, @blueether? Maybe they were caused by not flashing on top of a compatible stock ROM?
There was one I think. I'm not sure what the cause was though
Well with the fact that i just 'Beginner' in android -developer world i spent two days (read and search) to just know what the right steps to have unofficial rom . So this is not thread from professional it's just what i understand so far . (SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH)
It's some simple Steps :
1) First you need to root your Device to have fully adminstrator . (This make you can execute terminal order from you and the apps)
2)After you get root install flash tool To do Setup 4 . (Rasher or Flashify)
3)You must UNlocked you bootloader . (So the new rom can edit your boot process)
4)Install custom Recovery [CWM]or[PHILZ]or[TWRP]. (This make you can do zip install from external card)
5)Get your rom download and copy to your external card.
NOW YOUR READY
OK Now my guide is for LG G2 MINI (D618)
The custom rom is [ROM][5.1.1][D618/D620] Cyanogenmod 12.1 Stable
And my phone have OFFICIAL android 5.0.2 lollipop
1) ROOT : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/root-root-g2-mini-lollipop-t3123652
If it not success . do factory reset and start the root again but this time (don't setup superSU from store and don't restart your phone and IT's su Not Su) this should success .
2) DOWNLOAD THE FLASH TOOL FROM PLAY STORE AND KEEP IT
3) BOOTLOADER : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (YOU MUST TAKE BACKUP FOR YOUR PHONE FIRST)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-d620-d618-t3127819
4) CUSTOM RECOVERY : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (CWM SUCCESS WITH ME) (JUST FLASH .IMG FILE WITH SETUP NUM (2))
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/recovery-lg-g2-mini-d618-v10c-t2854493
5) DOWNLOAD THE FILE YOU NEED FROM HERE AND COPY TO EXTERNAL CARD AND FOLLOW Installation :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-stable-t3175833
NOW IF THIS SETUP'S SUCCESS THE HARD PART IS OVER.
6) Now reboot into recovery mode (you will find this in Flash tool)
in recovery mode you need just two things (WIPE AND INSTALL)
7)CHOOSE "Wipe" CACHE, DATA and SYSTEM (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND SETTING AND EVERY THING)
8)CHOOSE INSTALL ZIP FROM EXTERNAL CARD AND CHOOSE FIRST KK_BOOTSTACK_D618_1.1.ZIP THEN cm-12.1-20150828-UNOFFICIAL-g2m.ZIP
9) RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL GAPPS (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150824-signed.ZIP)
10) NOW YOU HAVE DONE .. REBOOT YOUR PHONE AND IT WILL DO SOME INSTALL FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTE AND YOU WILL SEE SETTING SETUP ON THE SCREEN
11)F YOU HAVE unstable SIM signal JUST GO TO RECOVERY AND WIPE ONLY CACHE IT WILL BACK TO NORMAL.
THIS IS MY experience ON MY G2 D618 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER PHONE'S
THANK YOU XDA AND XDA-DEVELOPER'S FOR YOUR HARD WORK .
Thank you very very much for this great explanations!!!
Tried to flash custom recovery with Rashr after unlocking bootloader. Tried CWM, Philz and TWRP and always ended up with attached screen.
What do you think the mistake is? And what do you mean with setup Num 2? Do you mean kernel flash in Rashr?
Thank you!

Make sure that Unlock bootloader process success i have this problem to and i Discovered that the unsuccess unlocking bootloader operation the Responsible for this error as i understand.
Flash custom recovery process deleting the original recovery but because of unsuccess unlocking bootloader Rasher Deleting original recovery but he cannot install the new custom recovery so what i do in this case .
1)Download official android lollipop from here (chose your country ) its KDZ File and flash with LG Flashtool 2014 Here
Now do the setup from the First setup .. and setup Num 2 i just mean Flash Custom Recovery File (Dont use TWRP Use CWM with Flashify .. Rasher didn't success with me ) Hope you make it

this is the stock android recovery that means that you didn't or couldn't flash a custom recovery
make sur you extracted the zip file and flashed the recovery.img with flashify
Hmmm, did everything exactly like you've written until flashing recovery. Now I'm stuck with attached screen when entering recovery...
Any idea?

the recovery you tried to flash is corrupt make sur the file isn't corrupted and the that is matching your device
i think your device is d620r and your trying to flash the one from the thread [RECOVERY][CWM][PHILZ][TWRP] G2 Mini D618
if you can boot into system reflash the matching recovery TWRP for your device if you can't connect your phone to pc
use fastboot to flash the recovery

This post shows you how to upgrade your system to lollipop 5.1.1 and optionally have root privileges. This is tested on C6833 model. For other models see the troubleshooting section near the end of the post.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.18.6. or 0.9.19.6 or higher Important: Do not use Flashtool 0.9.19.0.
If you want to root the phone: Rooted XZU on Android version 5.0.2 or Kitkat with custom recovery installed.
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.
Download link for upgrade only:
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf (unmodified Customized DE):
https://mega.nz/#!khF1nILD!C5D70e-BjCKVBCuOurjFOLcIMZDcldYVeIDnFiR-PGM
Download link for upgrade and root:
5.1.1-system.zip:
https://mega.nz/#!YoFgCSjA!Zh8t_4jeXcAEWhOYePA40uQLI7vw4-CnxohjBdMbpz0
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf
https://mega.nz/#!l4dllSTT!R393EG4W3CwOZp1OLOzfUzpHF0IlvsmfW04BrGOggXc
Instructions for upgrading without root:
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf
3- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
4- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
5- Reboot.
Instructions for upgrading with root:
0- If your existing system is rooted using Kingroot read the troubleshooting section below before continuing.
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and 5.1.1_system.zip.
3- Copy 5.1.1-system.zip to your phone's internal SDcard.
4- Reboot to recovery and install 5.1.1-system.zip.
5- If you are coming from Kitkat just Turn the phone off. If you are coming from 5.0.2, reboot the phone and let it work through the boot animation which will take a while. Then it will show force closing messages and possibly reboots itself. At this point turn it off by holding down the power and volume-up keys for a few seconds. The phone will vibrate 3 times and turns off.
6- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
8- Reboot.
Troubleshooting, etc.
This procedure works only if you follow every step carefully. When you are done you can easily test your root status in a terminal emulator or via adb. Please see the attached image.
If you have used Kingroot to root your existing system flashing this ROM may not work and it may leave your system with a partially updated file system that may be broken. The reason is that Kingroot (which in my opinion is malware) makes some of your system files immutable which means they cannot be removed during a software upgrade. To proceed, you should either find a way to replace this horrendous piece of code with SuperSU or downgrade to Kitkat and root with XZDualRecovery before trying this guide. Read the second part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62936808&postcount=22.
If during the procedure for root the flashing of the ftf in step 7 fails, repeat step 7 with C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf or any other 14.6.A.0.368 ftf but exclude the system partition in the flashtool dialog window. If you don't exclude the system partition you will not get root.
If you have root after the procedure but something else doesn't work, try a factory reset.
Note that flashtool 0.9.19.0 was specifically released to support the new sin format on new devices and some of its features don't work with older devices. So to avoid taking any chances I used version 18.
I don't know if this works for C6802 or C6806. Some users reported success on 6806, like this one and this. For that model you follow this guide and use the zip file posted here. The only difference is that instead of flashing the ftf posted here in the next step, use the stock 14.6.A.0.368 ftf for your phone and exclude system.
Will this C6833 FTF work on a C6806 USA phone?, because I can't find a C6806 FTF anywhere...
Can this system zip be used with other customized versions of c6833 ftf.

You probably didn't exclude the system partition in this step:
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_Customized+DE_14.6.A.0.368.ftf.*Exclude system partition*and flash this ftf.
Out of curiosity, what is wrong with the latest flashtool?

Customized DE just means it is the German version of the ROM. I used that because I bought the phone in Germany. But the menus and keyboard and everything is in English so you would not even notice the difference.
This method will not touch your bootloader status so if you are locked you remain locked.
If you are already on 5.1.1 through OTA this will not work for you. You need to start from rooted 5.0.2 with recovery installed.

I think you can still do it straight from kitkat but if you are following the instructions with root in step 5 instead of rebooting just turn the phone off.
Let me know if that works.
so my ZU used to be rooted with Lollipop 5.0.2, but i removed Kinguser/chinese root app and no longer have root access. I've also previously installed recovery but don't know if it will still work ? i forgot how to boot into recovery to see if it even works.. any helpers?
Power on the phone and when u see the led notification start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times to make your phone boot into recovery mode

Hi,
First time posting here. I have a Le MAX 2 x822 with a custom ROM from the Chinese vendor (55.66.001133S (stable) and want to install CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/cm13-max2-s19-umbrellateam-spainteam-t3471863).
I have read the basic steps:
1. install adb driver (which one should I get?)
2. unlock bootloader
3. install TWRP (which one should I get?)
4. flash CM13 rom
I wanted to know if I have to flash a stock ROM before getting CM13 or can I just follow the steps above directly.
Thank you

I wanted to know if I have to flash a stock ROM before getting CM13 or can I just follow the steps above directly.
Thank you

Thank you for the answer!
I've read some places that getting the adb driver on Windows 10 doesn't always work. Do you know where I can get one that works?
Also, which version of TWRP should I get? Can I use the official? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-unofficial-t3443611)
