ok, i've got a .570 MM with root...but can't install or enter(?) recovery....i'm trying to install recovery using odin
but can't enter download mode required for Odin either, tried installing recovery through TWRP app but it gives
me some sort of error
i'm trying to update my phone to .575 and cant enter recovery, anyone knows if i'm doing something wrong???
thank you in advance
Odin is for Samsung. There is no Download mode in Sony and you can't root Marshmallow, at least not permanently. My favorite method involves downgrading to 4.4.2 and using the Xperia Z Dual Recovery (XZDR) which temporarily roots to install a recovery. After that you can install a prerooted .zip
PS Sony is NOT Samsung!

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

Yeah. I tried that on my SM-A300F too but if your device isnt running on the same built id*KTU84P.A300FXXU1ANL1 then it wouldn't work. I just hope CF will update the new CF-Auto root.

Wait.. I am not sure what to do here.
1.I go to download mode, flash the cfautoroot.zip for 4.4.4 eventhough I am 5.0.2 right?
2.then you say flash the recovery.img from 5.0.2 StockRom file.
this is the part I don't quite get it. Cause you said dont reboot.
Do I flash it when my phone is turned on or should I put it in download mode to flash???
EDIT: OK ignore the all of the above. I got it now. I was stupid and blind. lol

but when I shut it down it also automatically goes into recovery. Even if I choose power down in the stock recovery it stills reboots into recovery. I can boot it back up perfectly tho but now I just can't fully shut my phone down.
How did you manage to shut your phone down?
I shut down my phone via option from holding power button.
did you shutdown your phone by holding the power button for a period of time or you choose from the option from holding the power button for a few seconds??
Edit: I got it. I went to download mode via terminal emulator and then shutdown from there.

Thank you very much for your instructions and I was able to upgrade my firmware to ********BOD9 (Russia). I did not feel any lagginess and the upgrade is smooth and stable from 4.4.4 to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 ********BOD9 (Russia). After I updraded the firmware, I root my phone using CFRoot 4.4.4, followed your instructions carefully. I did extra work to make sure the system is clear so that there will be no lagginess. After flashify the recovery.img and boot.img rebooted the phone by flashify it went back to the recovery. Then I wipe data cache and wipe cahe. Go to bootloader mode and again install ********BOD9 using ODIN V 3.10.6 and root and copy the recovery.img and boot.img of ******BOD9 to external SD Card. Next flashify the recovery.img and boot.img and reboot. Then the problem of recovery still exist. I off my phone for 2 minutes. Turn on my phone again, do restart and the problem of going to recovery was gone. Take note that flashify will be used for 3 flashing per day. If you consume the 3 flashing don't reboot your phone, patiently wait for 1 day and flashify the recovery and boot.img then reboot using flashify. It will bring you to the bad recovery and reboot system. Now my phone is updated to Android 5.0.2, no lagginess & no stuttering and no recovery problem. The only problem problem is I cannot backup my rom. Still waiting for CWM Recovery for SM-A300F.
Thx this helped but after rooting it, when I turn off the screen, after a while, it reboots and I don't know how to stop it. Any help please?

"Flash" means installing something to the internal memory.
You need to go back to a "rootable" version and after having your terminal rooted you can flash the latest rooted ROM.
Following the instructions on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...lipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821 I suggest you:
Flash the Lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 firmware with Flashtool;
Unlock the bootloader (not sure it is strictly needed but better avoid potential issues) with Flashtool (use the Sony website to get the unlock code as the automatic retrieval of Flashtool did not work for me);
Root using the script mentioned in the thread;
Flash the custom recovery;
Flash the rooted 6.0.1 ROM.

You cant make the root with the flashtool! Copy the SuperSu (download newest zip) on your tablet (anywhere) and proceed with this: "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer" you already downloaded from the tutorial. when you launch the "install.bat", the tablet will be rooted and twrp installed it auto-boot into twrp and now you can isntall your copied supersu zip then you can proceed with the tutorial
Got it fixed. In my first CWM Backup from the Dualrecovery Package (installer) was a working boot.img All fine now!
