Android n in z2 problem - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I successfully boot android n preview 3 in our device with flashing ftf from z3 and flashing kernel from xda.But I have 3 problem
-I can't flash recovery after ftf.It says "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)"
-I flashed original baseband from Z2 ftf but still no sim error.
-THERE IS A REALLY ANNOYING POINTER IN SCREEN AND I CANNOT REMOVE IT I NEED TO USE MY FINGER LIKE A MOUSE(i tried developer option show touches etc didn't work)
-Getting camera not found error
After that everything works like a charm(GPS,WiFi,Bluetooth etc.) how can I solve the problems.
Thanks

---I backed up my Phone and wipe everything expect Micro sd---
-First i flashed this ftf https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8cCnBv81XJ0cmZVRlFBQXpYMjQ/view?usp=sharing without flashing rpm.sin
-Then i flashed this kernel from fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-android-n-preview-3-t3439811
-It booted with no problem without sim card

It worked.. and fast too..
If a good dev have time to port, it will be a good rom.
only few bugs there.. like touch, wifi, camera..

Not flash full fw Z3
the ROM needs to be ported to Z2, so will running kernel and recovery
Also give preference in porting Android N Preview 3, people have reported various problems Z3

You cannot even root it without recovery how you think found pointer file if it's really "exist"

Everything that happens in a phone is ALWAYS in it's root folders, otherwise it wouldn't exist. Have you tried rooting or installing twrp using ADB??

EVERYONE. Try deleting the 'pointer_arrow.png' file in system/framework/framework-res.apk/Res/Drawable-mdpi or something. I heard that that annoying pointer file is located there somewhere. Someone please extract the Android N ftf, decompile framework-res.apk, and delete that pointer_arrow.png file. SOLVED. (If it works. XD)

I dont think So..
I think it has something to do with the *.idc files inside /system/usr/idc/
probably need to port *.idc files..
