Hey Guys, sorry for asking this but seriously I cant find any tutorial on how to root this phone or how to flash a ROM from this forums. Can someone explain this please? I only want root access, but I would install a custom rom too if that is necessary. Thanks!
• Bootloader unlock, voids warranty in most cases
• Fastboot flash twrp
• Recovery mode twrp
• Factory reset
• Sideload supersu binary
• Wipe cache
• Reboot
• Respond "no" if twrp says supersu hasn't been detected and prompts you to install it, it's lying to you
• ?????????
• Profit
There are plenty of guides online on how to unlock the Bootloader for Motorola devices, as well as where to find the supersu binary, the twrp image, and how to flash a new recovery. The above is the gist of it, I think, but don't quote me on that because 4 in the morning and I've had 3 hours of sleep. I'll get back to you again once I get some coffee. A place you can look as well is here in XDA in ROM threads for the Moto Z. There should be instructions on how to at least unlock and flash twrp if the dev included it.

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my z2 the easiest way using a thread I found and TWRP 2. I have some basic experience flashing roms but it has always involved carefully following instructions.
I recently downloaded Cyanogenmod for Sirius but when I try and use TRWP to flash the zip it tells me I have the wrong rom, presumably because TWRP is designed for the Z3 and it thinks I'm trying to do something silly.
I have Rom Manager and have tried to install Clockworkmod bit it has trouble recognising my device and always boots into TWRP instead. I've had problems using ADB software in the past so would like to find a "phone-based" fix if possible.
Any help would be much appreciated xox
1. Root and backup TA (optional)
2. Unlock your bootloader
3. Flash kernel and recovery
4. Through recovery flash CM12.1 (or any older versions of choice)
Need i explain in more detail.
Read the part about flashing boot.img using fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/twrp-phone-t3178773/post62332549#post62332549
Then you should be able to flash your CM.
So I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP, i knew that unlocking it would wipe the data but what happened to me was that after trying to reboot into the system and install SuperSU it would always return to recovery and now it says no OS detected. So now i have to flash a completely stock image and i dont have one. Can anyone help???
EDIT: Used the restore tool(cant remember who by) and it worked fine.
Official twrp does not support squashfs which the new system is in, here is an unofficial build from the twrp forum on the lg g watch

Hello alI, I need some help and advice. I have rooted my Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 (5.1.1) using Kingroot. I have installed SuperSU and it requires a TWRP or CWM recovery to update the binary. Where can I find the right one for my phone? The ROM manager app can`t find one. Also a tutorial would be helpful on how to install it. Now, my next question is: can I flash ROMs, install themes, enjoy all the other things of a rooted phone without a CWM recovery? Could you also guide me through my next steps after rooting? Any suggestions will be helpful and appreciated.
Super su doesn't require recovery to update the binaries... There is an option (when the su app says that the binaries need to be updated) that allows you to try and install the binaries via installing them and then simply rebooting your phone.
Additionally, search for some sort of recovery as 99,99% of the ROMs are meant to be installed via recoveries.
If you want to do something more than just rooting your phone you have to use a recovery.
Hello,
I have a sony z2 D6503 android 6.0.1 (flash the 6.0.1 so i can force it to update) bootloader unlocked and previusly install xzdualrecovery (for the 6.0.1 force update),
now the after i year from when i install the 6.0.1 i didn't need to access recovery mode, until 1 week ago when i wanted to flash with resurrection remix 7.1.2 nougat, so i try first to access to twrp by hardware button, nothing happen (neither the led notification light turn pink so i can't access to recovery).
Then i try to flash again twrp or any different recovery from adb, and i try again either from adb and manually to access to recovery, and nothing again.
So i install kingroot, root the phone and use quick boot or other app so i can access to recovery from them, and nothing again.
So after that i factory reset the phone (to 6.0.1 because is the only available on my phone since the time that i flash it) and did again evey single step that i mention before.
I read every thread, post forum for everything, adb problem , bootloader, twrp, recovery and other but neither of them help.
In the end i was force to open a thread here so maybe you can help me.

Flash elite kernel version 3(it is important that it should be version 3) it gas a built-in recovery and it is compatible with stock based rom
And if you want to flash RR rom you should flash boot.img from rom zip and provided recovery in dsired fourm

Hi, today I was more than seven hours on PCr and tried this....unsuccessfully... I'm really desperate
I have:
-Xperia Z2 (D6503)
-Android 6.0.1
-newest firmware 23.5.A.1.291
-UNlocked bootloader
I am trying to install root, twrp recovery and custom ROM ( specifically this ROM ). But i cannot enter to the recovery mode...
Official twrp-3.0.2-0 succesfully flashed in fastboot but when i try command "fastboot reboot recovery" the mobile only load android and turns on normally... the combination hardware buttons also do not work.
The next question is, What is a kernel ? I have successfully installed this kernel .... Could this be the reason why I can't load the recover mode?
Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore :crying: all I want is root and custom rom
EDIT: okay, i successfully root phone and finally i have access to recovery mode (TWRP 3.0.2-0) by THIS TUTORIAL now i need help with installing the custom ROM step-by-step because if I turn something wrong and phone will be bricked again, I guess I'll kill myself xD so What is next step for install custom ROM please ? Can I just download THIS, install the zip in TWRP and that´s all ???
Yup you can install it by recovery steps:

before you do this you should backup all your important data
1-wipe data factory reset
2- wipe cache
3- install zip rom
4- download google apps and install it by recovery it should be a zip file
5-repot system and enjoy
the recovery is like twrp or cwm it's not a kernel
there is 2 type of kernel :
1-kernel itself
2-kernel with merged recovery
about the kernel and recovery, there is deference the kernel is very important for system to work it connects between the hardware and the software and every operating system has its own kernel but here in android they sometimes merge kernel with recovery but when you flash-kernel or recovery every one replace each other be careful and know that, don't worry you won't brick something in the near future when you will install custom ROMs you will notice that.
if you need any help you can ask me
