https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B51NBUj0yr7Fd2E4SHVmZFVDMU0/edit?usp=docslist_api
My c6802 is unlocked bootloader and running Cm11.
I have not much experience flashing Rom with ZU so could i use flashtool to flash this ftf file directly? Or i have to relock bootloader then flash ftf file?
Thanks.

No need to relock the bootloader just fire up the flashtool and flash it directly .............
ahhhh one more thing you have to use flashtool v 0.9.15.0 any older version will not work ..............

wait a minute....you can't run Cyanogen 11 because is not working with C6802....it gives bootloop. So how come you running Cyanogen Mod 11?

My mistake, my c6802 is running AOSP Liquid Smooth 3.0 not CM11.
I will try cm11 right now.

I think I can't unlock the boot loader (service menu says: Bootloader unlock allowed: No), so it seems I'm stuck until someone finds a way to keep root with 681...
Hey guys. I recently rooted my unlocked Z2 using the downgrade root method and custom rom. Today I got the Lollipop update notice (Sweden). I download it and then when I try to install it it just reboots the device.
Will I have to flash to a stock Rom before doing the ota update? And will it break root?
Thanks
download flashtool and a lollipop ftf and flash it
just exclude data
Thanks. Will look into it. Not to be rude though but that didn't answer my question.
you would have to folow the same method to root lollipop
to upgrade using sonys OTA app you wl have to flash a fully stock firmware
or you can just upgrade using flashtool and a lollipop FTF

There's the answer i was looking for =) Thanks man.
Hello,
I'm Yazan and I'm new to this developing stuff. I had an old Samsung that I used to play with and rooted it but moving to the Xperia z2 was a big upgrade. I have very low experience and would love to root my Xperia z2. I have updated it to the generic lollipop update and would like to know if there is a way to root it. And also could I downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat root it and install a rooted 5.0 stock ROM?
Thanks for the help. I'll be waiting. :fingers-crossed:
You need to downgrade it to 4.4.2 Kitkat, root it, install Dualrecovery, and then flash a prerooted lollipop firmware via recovery.
Please search the forum for how to do it..

... So I could flash (downgrade) a stock 4.4.2 ROM directly from 5.0.2 using flashtool, then root it and install dual recovery then flash the 5.0 pre rooted rom using the recovery? And btw my bootloader is locked should I unlock it first.

No need to unlock bootloader... Just do as you said...
The intention of downgrading firmware is to gain root without unlocking bootloader.

Haha, thanks I'm sort of new... Thanks though. and which ROM should I choose... 17.1.2.A.0.314 or 17.1.1.A.0.402. My device is D6503
You may use 17.1.2.A.0.314 to downgrade.

If your ROM is stock LB you can just flash the 4.4.4 ftf file using flashtool.

For rooting, you can use any customization. By the way, why don't you downgrade to Kitkat?
It's quite easy. After rooting and installing recovery, you can upgrade to your desired MM pre-rooted firmware.

Yeah as long as it's Kitkat, it should be easy to root.
To simplify: Downgrade firmware, Root, Install Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP, or both), Download pre-rooted flashable zips (OR you can prepare your own pre-rooted package via PRFCreator), and finally flash your pre-rooted MM.
I'm currently using pre-rooted MM 23.5.A.0.570 though.
