hey ladies and gentleman - best regards from germany
im wasted. and it would be nice if you can help me. because of a ****ty microphone quality, i´ve installed this in version 3.15:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-existenz-ultimate-1-0-5-light-dark-t2835196
But the quality wasnt better, though. imo it was the existenz rom so i tried a different one.
yesterday i have installed a cm11 version in which some functions of my z2 wont work. :crying:
so i have seen that there is a 4.0 version of existenz, downloaded it, put it on my sd and started in recovery.
but my twrp was gone and cwm was installed
what the..? okay, tried to flash it anyway but it was stucked before AROMA was started.
copied the .zip from sdcard to internal to provide that there was an issue with rights or something.
but no chance.meanwhile my cm11 is working, but even PLAY-Store Apps like goomanager or RASHR and TWRP itself wont install
twrp. im using a windows 8 pc and have some trouble to use adb or odin.
when i try to boot into dl or rec mode, the led stucks either orange or blue.
do you have a clue what i can do? pleaaaase :crying:
Ok first.
Disable driver signature autetification on win8/8.1
Install Sony flash drivers
Install flashtool
Reflash with stock rom
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
You obviously have unlocked bootloader so...
If you still have recovery, just install another kernel with twrp, like Doomlords Kernel. This is a stock kernel with cmw, philz and twrp. Once this kernel is installed cm won't boot anyone, but it will allow you to install a eXistenZ.
If you don't have recovery download Doomlords kernel and flash the boot.img ( i think it's)
Code:
adb fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reverting back to stock 4.4.2 to fix your issue is a waste of time.
Okay, at first thanks electrash for showing me how to use flashtool on windows 8.
Has worked so far, im running on stock rom but cant reach the bootloader or recovery.
the LED is not blinking and i have no chance to reach the recovery mode.
is it possible to flash this with flashtool,too?

does this not require the ability to get to download mode?

When you say download mode do you mean fastboot mode? Plugging in the Usb and holding volume up when the phone is off? If so yes.
The light should remain blue and, assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed, you can flash things.
hey guys! my phone is workiiiiing
you´re the best ,seriously!

Hello
I have been reading through the threads here but can't seem to find a rooting method for Z2 on 5.1.1 546. Bootloader is unlocked. If this has been discussed somewhere already please kindly point me to the relevant page. Thank you
If you already are on 5.1.1, unrooted, you'll have to either flash a kernel with recovery and then flash superSU(since you bootloader is unlocked) or you'll have to downgrade to 4.4.2, root and install recovery and then make a rootable 5.1.1 zip file and flash it.
Flashable zipfile can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/ftf-cutomized-23-1-0-726-cda-1281-9809-t3082166.

Thanks. I will try that. I was hoping I wouldn't need to downgrade though. :good:

Hey, sorry to be a bother. My problem is I also can't get into recovery. I have used samsung all my life this is my first non-samsung device so it's vexing me a little. I used fastboot to flash twrp, cwm, philz but each time I can't get into recovery. sometimes I get purple led but it doesn't progress from there. got any ideas?

You press the volume button down when the purple light shows, right?
Norwegian
Du trykker på volum knappen nedover et par ganger når lyset lyser lilla, ikke sant?
Same for me here. Flashed 5.1 via flashtool and unlocked the bootloader then. But none of the recoverys boot. And no purple light either.
Worked this Morning, when i was on 5.0
go download twrp from their site
go into fastboot mode
fastboot flash recovery [twrp recovery image name].img
Now you should be able to access recovery by pressing vol up multiple times on boot (if it doesn't work, try vol down, or the power button) , you won't see any purple light as that is related to Androplus kernel I think

for me twrp is the most unresponsive of all the recoveries I tried. it gets stuck on the Sony start up screen
Just an update on my case, I have had a breakthrough (somewhat) with recovery. I flashed extracted the boot.img from the kernel on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 and fastboot flashed it as per instructions on the post. I was then able to boot into twrp but couldn't boot into the system due to bootloop. tried to flash a pre tooted stock zip didn't work either so I had to flash CM12. Since I had always wanted to try cm12 I can do so while I'm still trying to find my way back to stock lol. Root works now though, which way my major issue.
Hi, is there a way to root for locked bl?

U need a custom kernel from 5.0.2 then flash recovery. Turn on ur phone and when u see the led colour press volume down
I had a locked bootloader and 5.1.1 on my Xperia Z2. I downloaded an original firmware 5.0.2, flashed it with FlashTools and then applied root without any problem. Also I installed a recovery, so I can now enter by keeping pressed vol-down from first vibration on start until it vibrates many times.
can you please tell me how did you come back to 5.0.2 because whenever i am flashing 5.0.2 my cell phone stuck in booting screen and restarting
please help urgently :'(
i have flashed system UI mod which seems to be corrupted
phone gave a message of system UI error
so in recovery ..i went to advanced format then formatted system and cache etc
pressed reboot and message of are you sure to reboot ..no OS
i rebooted and screen stuck at the first black screen and could not shut down or restart :'(
good day,
If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery via fastboot mode and in recovery flash a rom of your choice. If bootloader locked you'll have to go the flashtool way and if I may ask why did you reboot a systemless phone?

forgive me as i'm a newbie
i rebooted it while it is systemless cause i'm reckless
where can i got the recovery to flash
my mobile is z2 6503
Ok check under Xperia Z2 General for FTF Z2 stock firmwares and download one of them. After that download and install the latest flashtool, which will assist you with installing the FTF firmware.
You can use Xperia Companion app on your computer to perform a software repair. Install the latest version of Xperia companion app from the Sony site. Once it's installed, open it and click software repair. It will ask you to connect the phone in flash mode in due time; at that point connect to your PC with a USB cable while pressing the Volume Down button. The Companion app will download the stock rom and flash it on its own. You just have to wait until the process is over. This will delete all the data on your device though.
Hello,
I started on a quest last week to try and make my long forgotten Xperia tablet z LTE SGP321 more user friendly.
I stopped using it after being frustrated by the bloatware and its lack of customisation.
So I thought flashing a custom rom might help and wanted a bit of a technological challenge. Boy do I feel like I've got one.
I used kingroot, which worked fine. I tried to install SuperSu but it wont update the binaries.
I've managed to unlock the bootloader (forgot to do the backup TA woops!).
I downloaded TWRP app, flashed pollux_windy to recovery. Now there doesn't seem to be a combination of keys that I can find to boot the sony xperia tablet Z into recovery?? Power and volume up or down or jamming both keys...nothing seems to work. I've found one forum post suggesting it isnt possible and that I need to flash a kernel which is where I'm getting stuck.
SO this is where I am now and was wondering if I should use CWM instead or if there is another way to open recovery?
My main aim is to completely clear the tablet hard drive and start again with a custom rom.
Thanks!
>>>>>>
NEW info
So i've managed to use the ADB to reboot into the boatloader. All that happens is a black screen. I want to try and flash CWM or TWRM but it doesnt seem to work.
Im beginning to think there's something strange about the sony xperia tablet z in that it doesnt have a bootloader in its stock firmware. i've seen something about using a Kernel approach but the guides are unclear.
Any help on flashing a CWM or TWRM into recovery would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for your help. I thought I'd start simple and just try and flash TWRP to recovery.
i downloaded the latest TWRP pollux windy img and then used the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It says FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
adb fastboot devices displays my tablet
(by the way in configuration in service info it says bootloader unlocked: Yes)
>>>>>>UPDATE
so i managed to flash a cyanogenmod img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
The device then soft bricked and went into a boot loop. Is this because I used the wrong version of cyanogenmod?? Any other I can try that work?
I panicked a bit, mamanged to get the tablet into fastboot somehow andthen flashed a TWRM img to the boot using the same command above which now loads TWRM.
fastboot reboot now caused the device to go into TWRP but its in recovery mood
How can i undo that step i did when I flashed the boot img of the cyanogen mod. I want to put the old boot.img back!

also can I ask another quick question of you, what do you do to boot into recovery on your xperia tablet Z device?
Thanks!
Sorry about all the updates.
I decided to see what you had installed on your signature and tried resurrection remix. Version 5.8 caused Error 7??
So i went for version 6.9 which i installed successfully.
Only way i know how to get into recovery is to use adb terminal command "adb reboot recovery"
Also before I installed resurrection remix would you recommend a complete wipe of everything or does it not really matter?
Thanks and hopefully that's me all sorted!
Use VOL+ or VOL- on boot to enter recovery.

2 way for me:
- usually you can set an "advanced reboot menu" under developer option or the ROM customization panel (depends on which ROM do you use)
- turn off your tablet, now push the power button until your screen just turn on, leave the power button and start pressing vol+ and vol- alternately until you boot into recovery

The device boots fine (no longer infinite bootloop), but once it has powered up, the touchscreen doesn't work.
I have rebooted several times and no help.
In TWRP even the touch works.

Upgrade from 7.0
Hi,
quick question:
I am on 7.0 with root and DRM fix comming from here: "[Guide] Nougat with DRM fix, root and TWRP* (SGP771)".
Can I simply flash kernel and TWRP as you described on top of these or do I have to restart with any TFT's on 7.11?
Thanks a lot and best regards

If you're using SGP712 you need to flash the proper recovery for that device, the one in OP is for SGP771
This one is the correct one (also linked 3 posts above): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298956222
Well .. actually OP and your´s in 3rd post and here are all 3 the same
Like said tried these here, from androPlus thread, etc etc ...
Flash via fastboot is working but cannot enter recovery after flashing
Tried to access via Power button, volume button, adb command, ... i dont even have a led signal at power on

oh, didn't notice, although I'm pretty sure the one in OP was different
It's booting on my device, but the first time I tried it didn't. I think it booted when I accidentally flashed it on the boot partition instead of the recovery one maybe you can try that.
but before, try hot booting it with:
Code:
fastboot boot ~/Downloads/TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin_windy-20170520.img
Hotboot endet in an Bootloop but flashing recovery to Boot helped! Many many Thanks
€dit: Ok my bad didnt work ....
Hotboot didnt work
Flashing recovery to boot did boot up Twrp - Wiped cache/dalvik, flashed SU, Tablet constanty reboot into TWRP instead of system
Flashed Kernel/Boot to Boot - Tab boots into system but no root
Tried to reboot into recovery - no luck
