Hi There,
I'm running a rooted version of KitKat 4.4.4 on my Z2 (23.0.1.A.0.167) and I was just wondering about the process of upgrading to a rooted version of Lollipop. Can I just upgrade using the standard method (from the settings menu) and retain root access? Or will I have to flash an entirely new Lollipop ROM onto the device and then root that separately?
I'm in no rush for Lollipop so I'm happy to wait for the official upgrade, but if it won't be possible or will mess up my device then I'd rather just do whatever it takes to get it flashed.

I guess your bootloader is still intact, if so you're good to go. You will will only lose root when you update to lollipop through OTA.
On the other hand, if you've unlocked your bootloader and probably have a custom kernel, then I'm afraid ota will not work.
Hope this helps.

If the desired outcome is root on lollipop, don't do ota.
Install recovery (if you don't have one) and flash a rooted lollipop zip through recovery.
@o0 Matt 0o, you've made your point but I guess quoting me wasn't necessary.
Thanks for the replies, a couple of questions still though:

I think I have recovery, though I can't remember to be honest. I followed a guide here when I rooted my Z2.
If I flash a rooted L zip does this mean I'll lose all my apps/data? I remember that I did when I rooted 4.4.4 but the process was such a headache that I can't remember which parts required wiping everything from my phone.
Also, is there a ROM version you'd recommend? Is the current one stable or should I wait a little while longer for a better one?
Google recovery and Xperia to see videos of how to get into recovery to find out if you have it.
You don't 'need' to wipe, but it's always advised. Before I flash I do a nandroid backup and wipe and recovery specific app data with nandroid manager.
Have a look at the dev section, there is a rooted stock lollipop room there. lollipop is stable and awesome.

Is it worth waiting for a Lollipop 5.1 ROM or would this ROM update to 5.1 without needing to be flashed? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6503-23-1-0-690-bal-rooted-t3057150/ (I presume this is the ROM you were talking about?)
Thanks, turns out I do have recovery. I followed this guide all the way through: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/how-to-root-23-0-1-0-167-fw-sony-xperia-t2928591/
So seeing as I have CWM recovery on there. Does this mean I can just use flashtool to put the lollipop ROM onto CWM Recovery and then do 'install from zip' and all should be good?
What would happen if I flashed without wiping the data? I'm more inclined to wipe too, but I wondered if it's possible to do it without wiping.

Yea that's what I was referring to. Once 5.1 comes out you'll need to do the same thing to keep root so it's up to you if you do it once or twice.

No. No flashtool needed just get the zip into the phone (either download it on the phone or use a usb cable to copy it over) then go to install zip.

What would happen depends on what you've done:
Best case nothing happens
Medium case apps misbehave
Worst case bootloop
It is possible and give it a go. Make sure you do a backup first and copy the backup to your computer just in case. If bad things happen, recovery the backup and try again another way.

Okay perfect, thanks for that. One last question though, in that thread with the Lollipop ROM someone mentioned that you could lose your recovery if you install it (I guess because of a bug or something). Will this affect me if I want to install 5.1 later on?
Not really. You'll just need to get back to a ROM with recovery for locked bootloader or wait until they get recovery working on locked bootloader on 5.0

Yes my bootloader is unlocked, I used the Sony method. I didn't think I could flash a rooted ROM without it to be honest.
Hmm, I think I'm confusing recovery with Bootloader though here. I thought Recovery was part of the bootloader unlocking process and was separate from the ROM. Kind of like a small management interface to flash new ROMs and manage the device from the boot partition.
Does anyone have an answer to the above? I'm just trying to make sense of the process here.
What do you want to know? What the bootloader is?

I'd really like to know what 'recovery' is exactly and how it differs from either a ROM or a bootloader. I understand the Xperia Z2 stock rooted Lollipop ROM has no recovery, so I want to know what exactly that means and what the implications are in the event I choose to upgrade to 5.1 in the future.
Hi i have a Z ultra that was given to me and rooted to 4.4.2 Kitkat GPE and has the model number of C6806. The original model number is C6833 and i wish to return it back to stock software but i do not know what is suppose to be done . Anyone can help me with this? Also i cannot boot into bootloader. It just stuck there and i need to press the reset switch to start up my phone.

There is a short "return to stock" section towards bottom of first post in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/general/guide-everything-root-4-4-4-t2938098
Unless there is a copy of the TA partition backup somewhere on your device you will not be able to restore it to completely stock as it is device specific. The TA partition effects some Sony proprietary functions.
Actually after typing this I remembered the 4.4.2 GPe port was available for locked Bootloaders so your TA may be intact as unlocking is what causes loss of TA.
I do not know where to find the TA backup or if there is any in the phone.

Maybe try the search function from a file explorer. If you type this *#*#7378423#*#* into the phone dialer then select service info then configuration you can check your bootloader status. Copy and paste will also work. The status will be "not allowed" if it is locked and is not unlockable "allowed" if it is locked and able to be unlocked and "unlocked" if it has been unlocked.Regardless you can return to stock but without the TA but xreality, bravia and some other things will not work. There is also a thread in the cross device section for a work around to restore those functions without TA.
did what u say and found out that the bootloader is unlock. What do i need to do now? i dont mind living without all the sony apps just wanna get update from sony. Thanks

Well ota should.install fine if it shows as available on your phone. If not you could.try finding the lollipop ftf, or see if Sony's PC Companion program will work.
Thanks alot! =)
Hi all,
Marshmallow is giving me all sorts of problems, but the major one is that people can't hear me while on the phone after the latest OTA update. Battery life was also significantly better on LP, and the phone felt snappier in general than it does on MM, so I would like to go back.
My phone was sold in Norway and was not locked to a carrier, but I have no idea which ROM version is used - I assume Nordic Combined.
I have been able to download 32.0.A.6.200 Customized SG and Customized AU, but the R*G numbers are different from the one available for Nordic Combined - does this make a difference? Can I use one or the other of the ones I already have downloaded and just make things work?
If I need the Nordic Combined Customized NOBA version, I'd be delighted if someone has a copy stored somewhere and would be willing to offer a download link.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, found this thread through google. Is this the official Z5C 32.0.A.6.200 version? I'm looking to upgrade to last lollipop before MM and this is what I found. I also would like the Nordic one but I want the stock rom so that I can just upgrade like it was an OTA. I don't need any add ons or root or anything like that. Have I come to the right place?

Hi Anthraxiousness,
Did you follow the guide on xperiablog, linked to above, in full? Have you installed all of the drivers as described there? And have you enabled 'USB debugging' on your phone? IIRC you must enable developer mode on your phone by tapping 'build number' 7 times in the 'about phone' settings. USB debugging is then available under 'developer mode' settings.

Hey, yes of course. One thing that stood out was when I installed Z5C drivers from flashtools. One of the Sony ones had a message "Not needed (no device connected)" or something. I tried twice but same nessage. Still ticked green tho. Could that be it?
Everything else was just as the guide said.
EDIT: Here's the one driver that didn't install:
Sony Net (03/19/2015 6.0.6000.16511) Not needed (No device for update present)
As I said, it was still ticked green alongside the other Z5C driver. Also installed Flashmode and Fastmode drivers.

According to this the device should be in flash mode and LED should be green. Mine stays orange (like it's just charging) and it says "Safe Mode" on the bottom left of the screen. How do I get into flash mode if not with Vol Down + USB? Tried several times but same result. Is there something that needs to be enabled in the phone?
Yes, you should enable 'USB Debugging' under Developer options

Okay, finally getting around to doing this after the phone was in for service after the microphone problem got worse and worse, to the point where nobody could hear me.
So, do I add everything from the .7z file into the .ftf I create in Flashtool, or should I exclude the .ta files?

Hi,
I currently have .570 fw installed with root, dualrecovery, xposed,... and wonder how to update to .575 w/o losing them. Can I just create flashable zip and that's it, or should I use the original guide that I used to update from LP to MM ([Stock][Z2(D6503) 6.0.1 Marshmallow][.570][Prerooted+ TWRP + Xposed][LB])?
//UPDATE: If you want to upgrade too, then grab files from this post and follow "nurps" guide here.
//UPDATE 2 (To avoid misunderstanding):
1. Make sure you download both files from here
2. In PRF Creator, insert your FTF as FTF File, dummy_flashable.zip as SuperSU and RecRootV4_combined.zip as Recovery.
3. Flash in recovery, if you want xposed, flash it separately afterwards.
4. Wipe cache
5. Reboot and that should be it.
//UPDATE 3
Also works for .291!
Well and without losing recovery would be important too. I'm ready with PRF Creator, but where do I get that TWRP Recovery zip from that works with MM?

I'm not sure that we are having the same issue... I am already on MM, with recovery, etc. And want to update to newer version of MM.
btw if you just want dual recovery for MM you can visit the guide I mentioned earlier. You won't get .zip, since it's flashed by adb, but it works just the same.
Yes and when you reflash you have to reflash a rooted image and also recovery, or its gone.

I see.. Now I know what you mean... The thing is... I would assume that you would just flash it the same way you did from LP to MM.. flash ROM (w/o recovery), then flash SuperSU, boot Android and use the adb recovery flasher... But i don't really want to spend hours getting things to normal if that doesn't work. So I'm hoping someone braver already done this and will shed some light on how it really is...
Actually I dont remember how it went, but now that you mention it, than a prerooted firmware should be enough, maybe I'll try tomorrow. Of course a flashable backup would make it easier if anything happens.

Yeah... The problem was, after flashing MM and SuperSU, you had to pray that when Android boots up, you will have root permissions. If not, then it was game over, as you no longer had dual recovery...
Anyway... If you'll try, let me know how it went. I would really appreciate it!

It's annoying, but at least you won't lose anything, as long as you have that backup... Now, you will have to downgrade to LP, root, flash back to MM, get recovery, flash your backup and done (if you want root back, that is of course, which I would strongly recommend for MM, as there are some things that would really bother me, if I didn't have root).
It's not the best solution, as it takes quite the time, but at least you have backup... could have been worse, take it that way...
Sorry my bad, I Was looking for the ftf now I'm downloading it with xperifirm,, now I'm looking for the recovery and supersu files to try,,

Thats a bit overcomplicated. I wasted some hours to find a rootable FTF though, 3rd I tried (D6503_17.1.A.2.69) worked, then it's just nuts dual recovery (with its own root exploit included) and restore.
For the other stuff I should have kept up, apparently for MM you include dummy_flashable for root not supersu and RecRootV4_combined is actually available as flashable recovery.

Just download the official fastboot ROM and flash via fastboot mode. It'll wipe all your data and start your device a new including locking your bootloader.

Thanks !
Is it possible too, to flash with TWRP, or just the fastboot-method is possible ?

Fastboot will restore your phone back to factory settings and I guess that's what you want. You can't restore to factory settings in TWRP as it requires unlocked bootloader. Just download the ROM and flash via fastboot

Ok, so if i had downloaded the fastboot-rom 9.6.25.0,- could i flash it with the mi-flash-tool from here too, to do that all (lock bootloader and completely go back to stock):

As i never did that before... - Is that simple or do i need a little "how-to" guide...
I was searching a bit here on xda, but didn´t found a little guide for that...

It's quite simple. I did it myself a few days ago. The tool does everything itself. But you should still read the thread if you are new to MIUI like me. But keep in mind the phone will format including the internal storage. I suggest you backup everything.

Ok, i think, if i would go back to stock, i would take the tool, if it is that simple (all automatical).
Thanks
