I'm confused. Recovery zip - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Z3 COMPACT rooted with TWRP 3.0.2.0 and 23.5.A.1.238 firmware. I want to make preroot the new firmware for Greece 23.5.A.1.291 when it comes. My question is which recovery I should use with PRF CREATOR?
RECROOT V.4.zip or XZDualRecovery_2.8.zip? which is the difference of these two? Thank you please someone help me to keep my Z3 compact rooted.

I have the same problem/question.
Could anyone shed some light on this? To my understanding you'd probably need recRoot for MM and XZDR for LP

use RECROOT V.4.zip which work for mm. I remenber XZDualRecovery always has no updated one, it just is compatiable for LP

Works on LP?
yeah, it would be easier to understand if you would provide more details on what it is for, and why you uploaded it. Is this the fix for current Lollipop issue or what?
???
Does it work on LP or not?
No it does not work on stock LP rom
But I don't understand the opening post then....locked bootloader equals not much custom rom to me...

[Dev only] Porting Concept marshmallows for Xperia Z2

hello everyone. You know Xperia Z3 is chosen by Sony devs to test their concept firmware. And it looks pretty much great. And it have aokp look with it and that makes it more faster and better. Though official one is good too. and Xperia Z2 and z3 has almost the same hardware. So it will be great if we have that concept ROM for our Z2 also. Though it is marshmallows and Z2 don't have any official marshmallows kernel yet. But previously with Xperia sp there was developer who made lock bootloader cm12 for Xperia sp. So hope devs will work or it. And we will finally have that concept ROM on our lovely Z2. Hope devs will work on it and port it for our Z2​
Download the concept marshmallows firmware of Z3 from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetbVNCUGFQbXI4N1k/view
I don't have much knowledge about the kernel build and stuff. So hope kernel developers will work on it. and we will get the rom for lock bootloader. Thanks all.
Are you sure that the provided file is for Z2 as you say? In the title is D6603.

Maybe my words aren't clear enough. the firmware is for Xperia z3 AND IT'S ADDED FOR DEVS TO PORT THE ROM FOR Z2
I personally think that the effort of porting the "closed source" kernel to z2 is too high considering that in about one month official marshmellow gets released by Sony which will most likely work better than some hacky port

I was thinking the same at first, but the official update will be the marshmallow version of the stock sony ui that we have now. The Marshmallow concept is a pure aosp like a nexus ui. Unless Sony's planning on ditching everything sony styled and making the aosp version the stock one? That'd be cool.
It seems be impossible, unless we have MM Z2 kernel, the touch won't work. Look at my video, if I didn't flash Z2 kernel, the touch wouldn't have worked on Z3's firmware, I had to flash Z2 kernel so I can use my phone with single touch only.

It won't work, of course, it's basic knowledge you need to know.
someone have the newest concept build and can upload it?

Mm z3's kernel is made for.Z3. And I don't know why battery life and things look better with z3 concept firmware. That made me think of it. We need kernel devs to create that kernel for us. It have to be for locked bootloader. then everything gonna be OK.

I have try flash 5.1 concept ftf, and Flashtool said cant flash the rpm.sin (kernel?) and install fail
And then I try to flash the ftf without kernel and flash the z2 .264 kernel, but the phone can not turn on, it stuck at SONY logo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didnt try 6.0 concept or maybe it will work?
BUT I dont think you can boot with z2's stock kernel because now we only have 5.1 stock kernel

There's no way that you use custom kernel on lock bootloader

Once it was. But now it's possible.
Take a look custom rom kernel cm11 on lock bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
So it's possible. .

I think it applies to Xperia SP only. Not for the Z series.

I have flashed 6.0 concept and Flashtool cant flash rpm.sin too. When I excluded it, Flashtool flashed successfully but the phone did not boot (the Sony logo and Xperia logo didnt appear). I flashed the .264 kernel and Z2 was stuck at bootloader too. What is rpm.sin?
Sorry for my bad English.

NO
I used to own a xperia sp and i flashed that rom.
the reason of why XSP can use LBL kitkat is you can boot with XSP 4.3 stock kernel
you cant use custom on LBL device or you will brick your phone

It's depend what device and kernel, sometime it work and sometime it dont
i am sure that you cant use z2 stock kernel on z3 concept so it mean no.
or maybe we can wait until sony release stock 6.0 and try 6.0 stock kernel on z3 concept

rpm.sin is the kernel. we cant boot z3 concept rom with z2 5.1 stock kernel.
why we don't flash kernel AOSP 6.0 for Z2, link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951
Sony stock is different than AOSP.
rpm.sin doesnt needed for custom rom, only boot.img and system.img.

Because AOSP kernel cant use on LBL phone and we want port it to LBL phone
Since we now have an official sony kernel for MM and locked bootloader (from the z2 mm beta) would it be possible to boot the z3 concept rom with the z2 mm beta kernel?
Thanks

Should I upgrade my N920k to MM 6.0.1?

So I just realized the MM update for N920k has been officially released, and is available on Sammobile.com, and can be performed via Odin.
What are the pros and cons. Right now I am running stock 5.1.1 with arther97 kernel, with root and xposed. And CWM Recovery. I can make a full back up
Is there a root available?
Is there a kernel that works with MM?
Can I install xposed?
And can I revert back to 5.1.1 if needed?
Is there a root available? : yes,
Is there a kernel that works with MM? at the moment, only hiepgia kernel is available for SLK, but not stable.
Can I install xposed? yes ?
And can I revert back to 5.1.1 if needed? flash Lollipop bootloader via odin then install LL custom roms

thanks for the reply mate,
i already upgraded, and surprisingly none of my apps got deleted, its working just fine, no major differences except for a really strange looking keyboard and settings background, lol
havent had the time to root yet,
as for the root, is the procedure the same, could you possibly link me to a thread for rooting MM
cheers

What's the best Android version for Xperia Z?

Hi all. Now I bought a Xperia Z C6603, tired of my Galaxy S3 GT-i9300.
It's branded and customized by Orange operator, and it's currently running 4.4.4.
I want to debrand the debloat the phone, but I'm wondering about the benefits of upgrading to newer Android versions.
Do the phone get faster? Slower? Do the battery last longer? Or shorter?
I'd appreciate your comments.
Thanks all.
the latest official ROM of Z is Lollipop 5.1.1 .222 or .228 firmware version (in my country is .222) wich in my opinion is the fastest official ROM but not a battery friendly.
If you wanna go higher, just root, unlock your bootloader, install latest TWRP and flash LOS 7.1.2. This ROM is nice.
Don't forget to backup your TA partition before unlocking.
