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 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

hi guys i'm new here and in android world ! i have a sony Xperia TX ....a bliss !
how can i flash custom roms ( suggest me the best actually ). and guide me through !
i'm not familliar with android terminology lol
i am running 9.2.A.1.215 , rooted, recovery installed
thanks
I'm using CM11 m9 based on 4.4.4. I use ART environment, not dalvik.
It's as stable as stock or even better; seems to be as good in terms of battery life as stock rom as well.
The only thing I miss from Sony stock rom in Cyanogen is Sony camera app. All efforts to port it to CM have failed so far.

There is no lollipop ROM for xperia e1.
There is only Falcon ROM for xperia e1 dual.
U can check all developments for xperia e1 here :- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/development
There is no 5.0 for E1 yet
Any prevision on when it will come out?
Probably never. Sony does not sell this phone in the USA
And It does not have AOSP support. Vendor files are not communicating with other Android ROMs, so we are stuck.
hi
my friend gave me his sp to flash a stable mm rom.. is there any for this device?
thank you
There are many stable ROMs now for XSP .. But the most updated one is the official CM13 by Adrian
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3347677
You can also check the XSP marshmallow hub for other mm ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3367779
PS. If you still have stock ROM installed then you need to unlock your phone boot loader first and also install custom recovery to be able to flash MM ROMs.
Good luck [emoji6]

mokee is probably what your looking for

Hello everybody,
I can't find any rom based on Marshmallow for my Xperia Z C6603 Yuga with a locked bootloader .
I'm on 10.7.A.0.228 and it was quite hard to root it and install recovery without semi-brick !
I searched in these forums and on the web and can't find anything ...
Thanks for your suggestions and have a good day !
You won't find one. Marshmallow is not officially released for the Z so there is no signed Kernel by Sony.
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Ok ,thanks !
So ,if I understand well ,the Xperia Z will only have 5.1.1 max. in the future for locked bootloader ?I understood Sony wouldn't update it anymore .
I've got a last question ,does anyone knows a 5.1.1 rom for locked bootloader wich can be more customisable than the stock one ?
I know it's not the good thread but it's not to open a new one and solve my "problem" !
that's easy, my friend
you can search it in Xperia Z Android Development section
for example: eXistenZ Premium 4.0.0 or XRom
cm13 for locked bootloader:
https://logout.hu/bejegyzes/hd5570/sony_xperia_z_cm13_zart_bootloaderre.html
Thanks again !
I just flashed the existenZ : it's just what I was looking for !
I'll wait a little to try the CM 13 .I thought all CM based needed unlocked bootloaders .
Thanks again to you both .
DId anyone test this rom?
Thanks, and sorry for refresh of this post. :/
i've tested it a few months ago. it was fine but after 3-4 weeks it was laggy as hell, i couldn't use my phone as daily driver because of it.
Can you recommend any rom for blocked bootloader?
i'm using eXistenZ 5.1.1 now, but i'm searching for a good lbl rom too.
I am using experienZ 5.1.1 for xperia zr and facing no issues ,its a good rom but looks like it freezes many times when xposed is enabled although it has very good features.I need a Marshmallow custom rom can be stock ported but i need the stock modified custom rom something like Xosp which btw is in development. Need help here. Thanks. It shoud be MM and Stock modified would be great.
