UB, would like to start fresh with Marshmallow - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have unlocked bootloader with cyanogenmod (cm) 12.1 installed. I installed XPosed Framework and things are becoming unstable and I would like to go back to stock android. How to do this?
There is the thread "[Z2] [D6503 Marshmallow] [23.5.A.0.575] PRE-ROOTED + TWRP 3.0.0.2 + Xposed [LB/UB]"
but the requirements I don't have:

I guess I can uninstall XPOSED but does CM count as stock or stock based? I'm not sure. What's best thing to do?

Flash tool should have a built in firmware downloader. I used it to download a UK based stock LP firmware. So should work for you. Sure it uses XperiaFirm.

[Q] is there a rooted 5.1.1 rom???

Is there a rooted 5.1.1 rom for Odin anywhere?

I have a stock rooted ROM here and am working on a deodexed version but I see no benefit/need for creating an Odin version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404
just asking . apparently with this root method of using a permissive kernel, the privacy mode is broken. any idea if that can be fixed and keep root?
benefit is that it's everything in a single package. including bootloader, modem etc.. twrp is good for flashing a different rom of the same version but for upgrades it's better to use odin. imho.

The ROM for 5.1.1 isn't flashable through FlashFire to keep root and Knox 0x0 right?

Correct, you need a custom kernel to root 5.1 which trips the warranty bit any way you flash it.

Botched rooting attempt using AndroPlus Kernel please help!

Just bought my first Sony Android device today (been using Samsung up to now).
Managed to unlock the bootloader.
Then tried to flash the Androplus Kernel but did the wrong one so I killed WIFI (not useable anymore).
Restored back to stock state 28.0.A.8.251 using EMMA/FlashTool (Flashed firmware for WIFI model Nordics)
WIFI working but now I get no update notifications over WIFI/OTA(?!?)
Now trying to find a way to update to 28.0.A.8.260 to attempt flashing AndroPlus Kernel/Custom Recovery again.
Have only been able to find FTF for Argentina market.
-- I want to stay on Lollipop 5.0.2 --
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Use flashtool (not the sony Emma) and Xperifirm (there are many more firmware to download) then create a FTF file and flash it
Or try: http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/categories/xperia-z4-tablet-wi-fi.81/

Thanks for your help, I managed to get the correct firmware (though UK version not Nordic) on the tablet and root it successfully with AndroPlus firmware 14. Also installed Xposed Framework v80 with success, though now Sonys Album app, and the stock Sony Camera force closes after I installed Xposed Framework, and I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this issue. I'd like to be able to use these, but if it's not possible I'll just use some other camera app and album/gallery app.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your response! Though the link you provided didn't clue me in very much as to how to deodex system.
I am running Lollipop 5.0.2 (.260 something firmware). Primarily interested in just getting Album app and Camera app that came with the Z4 tablet to work while having Xposed Framework 0.80 installed and running (avoid force closing)

Well for the reason that I don't know if there is such a thing as an Androplus kernel that will allow me to successfully root the tablet running Mashmallow system software instead. It was enough of a pain to finally get the tablet rooted and working the way I like it for me to want to just stay with what works

Check the AndroPlusKernel thread. There is. You can use Titanium Backup or Helium to backup and restore your apps and settings.
Everybody who's been responding, THANK YOU!
For now I don't feel like I want to mess around with updating to the latest Android version on my tablet and re-rooting etc.
So if someone would be so kind as to explain to me how to get the Sony Album app and Sony Camera app deodexed/running with Xposed Framework v80 installed without force closing I would very much appreciate that. I only want to fix that for now, maybe in the future I will look at re-rooting under Android 6.0 but not right now.

Looks like I will have to bite the bullet here was hoping for some instructions for getting just the Album and Camera running on Android 5.0.2, but if that's not doable I will have to look into getting MM and rooting it again.
Question though is where I can find a suitable FTF file with Android MM 32.1.A.1.163 for the SGP712 (WIFI model)?
Or can/should I just:
1) Update firmware from Sony PC Companion then
2) Flash AndroPlus Kernel v20 and then TWRP 2.8.7.0 Touch fixed v2 using fastboot from Windows
3) Then installing SuperSU/Xposed Framework v80 in TWRP as I did with 5.0.2 when rooting that?
Is there any way for me to update to Android MM 32.1.A.1.163 and ensuring a FULL system reset so I know I will get a fresh start?

Seriously BIG thanks for your help with this! Followed the flashtool/xperifirm tutorial you linked to and then flashing and using the kernel/TWRP and Xposed component (v80 sdk23 arm64) that you recommended. Everything now works like a charm, and I am even back on the "Nordic combined" stock ROM image rather than the U.K one that I had to use for Android 5.0.2! And the Sony camera app and album app both work like a charm with no issues!
I'm VERY happy right now!!

¿How to enter in recovery mode?

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

1). You can't run CM on stock firmware kernel.
2). You didn't specify what version of stock firmware kernel do you need.

The easiest way is to flash stock 5.1.1 with flashtool or restore tablet with pc-companion which will do basically the same.
P.S: Though, if you still need kernel, here it is.

Help upgrading my rooted 4.4.4 D6503 to latest version

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
Thanks, so I download the Firmware from the thread you linked to, Flash it with flashtool and that's it already??

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
