When i get L update in my xperia z2 in india
till now it is only available in Nordic and Baltic regions and on D6503 only.
No user has got it yet on D6502 yet, when will it come ? No ETA yet.
Hi I may sound like a noob since I'm new to Sony phones and rooting it is quite a task. What I want to ask here is how to flash the zip file. My phone does not start in flashmode using the hardware combinations(Power+Volume keys) neither does the ADB method work. My Bootloader is unlocked.
Any help is really appreciated!
Can i flash this prerooted zip in a Xperia z2 with custom recovery and locked bootloader?
Yes you can, make sure to back up the content first, wiping full data would be good.
Go if you are one lte version of handset, if on hspa version then it is your choice.
Why the dual ricovery don't work on locked bootloader?
Mega asks me for a decryption code to download. What's the code?

does it fully work for D6502 ?? :( :(
Hello Anurag, i have flashed D6503 on D6502. i came to see two issues. 1. No Signal
2. Its taking time to shut and this is seen in case of 4.4.4 version time also.
Please post a solution for this.
No signal ? did you do full wipe of phone data while flashing ?
Have you tried removing and then inserting again your SIM or changing mobile networks ?
Shutting down time should resolve I guess after one/two boots.
This firmware have included a custom recovery?
recovery is included but not working right now as reported by the original developer at xda.
Why I can't mount System in rw? I have a root :(
