Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before or asked a million times before.
I have just bought a Z2 and have got it on the latest version of Marshmallow (via Sony Companion) but I heard you can root these and put custom roms on them.
I don't know where to start.
Could someone provide links on how to root the Z2 and how to put a decent custom ROM on there please
Thanks in advance

Try lineage os 14.1. Been using for sometime and it's working flawless.

Another question.. cyanogenmod vs original lollipop? What to choose?

If you have to ask, wait for stock Lollipop.
Still interested ? Spend some time reading to see what you are getting into.
Custom ROMs require compromises/.
CM12 runs very stable on my Z2 Castor Windy.
I'm wondering the same thing and more, myself. I do hope somebody with more knowledge than I will chime in and advise. This z2 I have really is an impressive device. Do you know what frequency and type the 3gigs of ram are? It doesn't seem to be DDR 3 since it only seems to be able to do one or two things at the same time. For example, if cutting and pasting a file from one folder to another, then pasting another file from the pc orchestrating everything, if you try anything else, you get some "busy toast" message. Maybe I don't understand all I think I know about it.

I've read quite a bit and I'm not sure why it is a hard question for an expert to answer if to root a stock spg512 with the latest "unrootable" build before or after it gets OTA to Lollipop. One of the things that may escape you is that the various threads on these devices are often unclear if they are discussing the phone or the tablet, both named Z2, and most of them discussing the tablet speak directly to spg511.
I suppose I should simply do whatever needs done to put some form of L on it and do from there. I'm not worried about warranty and such. Otherwise, your answer was not very helpful and I can only assume you were bored when you typed it.

Really ?
I take time here and there to try and help someone on a thread, and that's your response ?
Hey guys,I have a little question..
I´m on stock 5.1.1 and I want to do root,I found a thread where the download link (of XZDualrecovey) is from a beta,I can use the lastest stable version for the Z2?
And about Flashtool,the download link is for 0.9.18.3,can I use the lastest? (0.9.19.8).
And (Sorry for too many questions guys haha) Does mind if I use the .402? I found a .314 but it´s from UK but IDK if deletes my baseband or something (I was from LG before)

I am looking for *ANY* Marshmallow or Lollipop custom ROM for sony Tablet S. Anybody know where I can find one?
I did find a couple of links which took me to some survey which just led to another survey, and never seemed to send me to the real download link. If anyone could please download it and upload it to a cloud I would be extremely greatfull

There are no custom roms for this tablet as the bootloader is unlockable and there is no custom recovery

Hi Guys,
Am new to this forum.
I just received my brand new Lenovo zuk z2 from china. The play store wasnt working due to the customer rom install by the vendor (common problem with most zuk z2) The only way to fix this was to install a stable rom using a flashed twrp. I have never done this before and some how i managed to wipe and delete everything off the phone even the os. Now am stuck here and need help.
I would really appreciate any help i can get.
Many thanks,
