I got that yesterday too. However, today it updated no problem. The only problem I now have is no root
Guys, my build number is 23.1.A.0.690. I noticed that most other z2 D6503 has gotten their 23.1.a.0.726 update two weeks ago. I tried plugging my phone in the pc companion and no update has appeared for almost two weeks. Is there something wrong with my phone?
Probably not....since a few days .726 update stopped rolling out. and recently sony blog posted certification of .740 firmware. So maybe you will be getting .740 directly.. It is based on your customization no. Check your customization no and then run xperifirm, you will immediately know if .726 has been released for your phone
Hi!, I have difficutly in the docomo z2 tab firmware I feel not really comfortable with the bloatware, and docomo stuffs. Should I stay in 4.4 or upgrade to 5.0 or maybe change to global version?
the bloatware from Sony are present in all firmwares, the only difference is that in EU/US versions it's only Sony stuff, in japanese it's also operators apps. All Sony Xperia devices for Japan made specifically with locked bootloader, so you can't use custom clean firmware here, maybe it's possible to delete apps but you need to get root, which is possible with some work even on locked bootloader. But i prefer to just disable maximum as possible, i don't need to use devices for super sensitive information yet, so for now i tolerate presense of some bloatware.
Considering updating, japanese Sony devices can be easily updated to latest global versions (local japanese firmwares sometimes behind global for many Sony devices, in Xperia Z2 tablet the last version for Japan is only Lollipop, but the global is Marshmallow many years already).
You can easily update to Marshmallow official firmware by Flashtool from any country version (except few - like Verizon USA are not flashing), but there's some things which you loose if flashing EU Marshmallow version:
1. NFC - in japanese Sony devices it's different chip or something than in european version.
2. Tethering - global versions of this Z2 tablet with 32Gb is only Wi-fi models - you can flash them easily but there's no tethering at all (because Wi-fi models with no SIM slot), there's no even bluetooth internet sharing, this function are removed from Wi-fi only firmwares.
3. 32Gb - as mentioned above - only Wi-fi models with 32Gb, others are only 16Gb, you are loosing serious amount of space - i tested that and really regretted after month using esp. with big video files like movies and etc., 16Gb is very small for normal use.
So, there's a way to get above this problems but you need to flash your device with flashtool 2 times with different firmwares.
1. To get Marshmallow with 32Gb and NFC - flash fully the latest firmware for SGP512 (USA version) - it's 32Gb and NFC works, but because it's Wi-fi model - to preserve storage size and receive Tethering and SIM card functions do step 2. Install it, activate as usual welcome screen. Turn off and ready to flash again.
2. Take any global firmware for SGP521 and flash it with ONLY such parts – system, kernel and cache (apps_logs and userdata - choose wipe), if it asks for FSC - choose NO. Do not choose other parts.
So in result you will get a combined SGP521 firmware - with NFC, 32Gb, SIM, so like fully working Marshmallow on japanese Xperia. This solution do not require any hacking, it's very easy.
This solution works for all other firmwares, for example if you want to obtain 5.1.1 Lollipop the only available version left is for Ireland (i forgot the number, will write later), there's nowhere else this verison, japanese are only 5.0, but to have a working NFC and 32Gb - you need to flash japanese 5.0 and flash again EU 5.1.1 (only system and kernel again) = you will get fully working 5.1.1 which is rarest on this device.
In addition to my reply:
the original Kitkat 4.4.2 17.1.1.C.1.45 can be upgraded by system & kernel of SGP521 model O2 IE 23.0.1.A.0.167 to Kitkat 4.4.4 (rare on this device)
the original japanese 23.1.G.2.151 Lollipop 5.0.2 by system and kernel of SGP521 model VMo LAM 23.4.A.1.232 to Lollipop 5.1.1 (rare on this device)
the SGP512 VMo US/CA/PR (Wi-fi 32 Gb) 23.5.A.1.291 with system and kernel SGP521 model Customized CE1 23.5.A.1.291 to sim/tethering functionality
excluding all parts of firmware except system and kernel, bootloader kept locked

As i know the last one official Android on locked Japanese Z2 tablets is only Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's the only way to update it to version 6, i used Windows 7 and much older flashtool like 0.9.20 - 0.9.23, the most last one version is something changed there it's crushing/not working, old one very stable.
Getting Nougat there (which will bring better battery and multitasking) on locked bootloader which Sony never unlock in Japan - only possible if someone repack old Nougat Developer Preview made for Xperia z3 smartphone i think (which is very good and stable on smartphone). I want to try that but for now stuck with hackintosh of tuning-up Mojave MacOS on my Toshiba Dynabook.
How can I install AICP Pie 9.0 ROM on docomo Xperia Z2 tablet?

did you get problems with the LTE network bar always up and down?
Hello,
i had a Xperia z5 Compact from my dad which was an 501SO in Android 6.0 but it had some issues so i thought it may would help to flash it with flashtool on firmware:
Generic Global 32.3.A.0.376 which is Android 7
After flashing Sim was not working i think its because of the missing IMEI now.
Now i wanted to root it for restoring my IMEI.
First of all i wanted to unlock the Bootloader but my Menu shows that its not Unlockable...
Because of this i wanted to use maybe some tool like Iovyroot but i dont understand the tool or its not running.
If i am running the adb.exe a console just runns through?
Currently the phone is running on the Android 7 Generic Global 32.3.A.0.376 firmware.
How can i root it now? Do i need to flash it back to Android 6 or 5 for an temporary root?
