Hi guys! I made a video tutorial recently because a lot of people asked for it! Please let me know if you would like to see some other video's! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZnb3DhRA3Q
Please correct me if i'm wrong..
This method you(side load) is for locked bootloaders
If the devices has an unlocked bootloader you can flash the imgs (bootloader,radio,boot,etc) vie fastboot right?

Well those two methods can both be done when your bootloader is locked. This method i showed was sideloading an ota update. You won't lose your data this way. Flashing the full system images wipes your phone.

you're right, but you can just flash the bootloader, radio, and the firmware without wiping the user data.

Sideloading the OTA will work for both locked and unlocked bootloaders. Flashing the factory image requires an unlocked bootloader. You can flash the images individually as you described, or modify the batch file (remove the -w flag near the end) to keep user date from being wiped as well.

Well that clears things up! Thanks man!
Thanks a lot man! This was very useful! I was able to sideload 6.0.1!
Quick question, and I suspect I know the answer. While not your method, if I have a unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and a kernel with no forced encryption/verity, would I be able to sideload OTA updates via custom recovery or will they simply fail?

not entirelly sure but i suspect you need a stock recovery to flash an ota
Is there a way to accomplish this without ADB? I can wait and get this done, but I've got the OTA zip sitting on my internal storage (just no option in the stock recovery to install from internal storage)...

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.

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.
If.I helped don't forget to hit thanks [emoji14]

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.
Multiple Tool Flash Recovery Check and unlock Bootloader
Download unzip somewhere inside PC and run with double click the Recovery-Tool.bat .
Follow instructions and check Bootloader Unlock *flash TWRP or Stock Recovery etc. Try it with your own responsibility.
Alternative you can put new TWRPS inside phone and Flash them through there as image files.

Because I realized that you don't know.. so...with check bootloader tool you find out if your bootloader is locked or unlocked and you could proceed with safety to flash custom recovery to have the full abilities of this phone at your hands. Because if you try to flash any other Rom with locked bootloader you can have a full brick. And the second is that you have the power to choose between 2 recovery's or to flash back with 2 click's the official Stock recovery to have it if and when some Nougat or else Rom came out.
Doesn't work

Nothing is wrong. You just have locked your bootloader without permission to unlock. Did you put 26s with TWRP? THAT'S WHY. You must have stock locked allowed bootloader for unlock.

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

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.

It's very simple, and the script does most of the work. All you have to do is hit Enter a few times, and let it run.
Back up your data to be safe, and worse case scenario, there is an MSM tool available that will restore the phone to stock.

Use Google Drive backup, but you should first temporarily turn off your password/fingerprint authentication. That's the only way to ensure a complete backup is run. That's been an issue with Google device backup as a whole since 9.0 began enforcing encryption on backups.
You can turn it back on as soon as the backup completes.
One thing I've noticed already on this update is idle battery drain with 5G enabled (connected or not) has improved dramatically.
I would suggest that anyone who re-roots after makes sure to use a freshly patched kernel pulled after the update.

Why you can't just unlock it again? Do you have the the T-Mobile version?
The bootloader is encrypted and OnePlus's token just gives you the private to match the public encryption that keeps the bootloader from being edited. In theory if you can discover what file type one plus's token is in and eextract that and somehow dump your bootloader you could possibly manually decrypt it.
Do you have access to a Personal Computer? I could offer some links to a few programs that may be worth trying. I doubt it could hurt trying.
I could use teamviewer to try to use my tools to force your bootloader to unlock also if you happen to not find a solution.

1st: Jayram1408, for being a senior member I'm really surprised you'd laugh at me for asking a question or not knowing something. Usually this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and receive feedback that's positive and informative. I don't know if you think others will laugh at me with you but I doubt it
2nd: I don't know what is funny in the first place, pre-rooted GSI for DSU Sideloading purposes do exist and that's a fact. It makes it so you can use Partitions Backup & Restore properly when the GSI is loaded. Please read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-boot-image-and-making-your-backups.4499447/
Hopefully that catches you up with the rest of us and hopefully in the future you are but more helpful then hurtful to members within the community.
Hey All,
I am trying to root my Nord N20, but am getting a bootloop when trying to boot boot_a after flashing a magisk25210canary patched boot_b image over boot_a. I am flashing a patched boot_b image over boot_a because I am too scared to flash magisk patched boot_b over boot_b (which contains the working OS). My version information is:
