So that says the Z2 is done for.......over. No more major updates. Marshmallow is it. Fini.

Thank you Kulvertti!!

I had a strange bootloop when I first flashed your ROM, but I fixed it with the "bootloop fix" in post 256.

Now it seems to work perfectly on my SPG512.

i just installed this rom and all works well except for my USB ethernet adapter. I dont seem to see a way to activate it. Does this rom support it? (Ether(0))? If so, how do you set it up or are there drivers I am missing?

I have been using your most recent 6.0.1 ROM and it works great. Somehow I just lost recovery and therefore can't access TWRP for flashing ZIPs. Other than that loss, the tablet works just fine. What compatible recovery image do you suggest I use to restablish the recovery capability?

Easiest way is to make sure you don't have any other busybox installed and run RecRoot v4 install bat file via pc.

While it took a little bit to find RecRoot V4, after I did and used it that did it. So, thanks so much for your very timely response to my need.

Hello,
I want to install this ROM. But I need the german language. Is german pre-installed or can I do this after installing this ROM? Thank you for your help.

There is german language in this rom to choose if I remember correctly.

Just a note if anyone else was in my situation. I had the previous rooted firmware installed, I got an update for the .291 ota for my WiFi only device, updating the firmware through ota surprisingly did not break root

I just got a notice on my tablet that an OTA update is available. Version 1.1.A.0.1, 1.3MB. What could this be? Weird version number, very small size. ???

Might be app called memory. At least it have same version number.

Is anyone else experiencing issues when scrolling slowly? Scrolling behaves somehow "jumpy".

The beginning of the video shows this strange behaviour when I slowly swipe up and down the screen. In the last part of the video I quickly flick up and down, and it works smooth.

i am SO sorry to sound like a total noob.. this is my first time so please bear with me here.
how do i install this image on a running cyanogenmod 12.1 system? if i try to install it in recovery mode it tells me
E : Footer is wrong
E : signature verification failed

thank you!

EDIT: sorry i am an idiot... seems, i need TWRP to flash. sadly,TWRP recovery wont' install because my device is not supported? (Xzeria Z2 Tablet - Castor_Windy)

EDIT2: ok, TWRP Recovery DID install, but it is in portrait mode... so i can't even see the buttons on my landscape tablet..
found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/help/twrp-sgp511-t2934620/page2
but it won't install. ADB says "OK" but the tablet just boots to Cyanogenmod Recovery. this is quite the odysseey.

@kulvertti
My xperia z2 tablet is the SGP511... so I installed the flashable 23.5.A.1.291 zip, and its getting a bootloop. If you could upload the correct firmware ill be very grateful ... or the custom 219 kernel so i can make the SGP511 flashable zip. Thanks

To actually fix your bootloop issue I suggest that you follow instructions from post #256.
Firmware from OP works just fine with your device but you ask firmware based on SGP511 and why not. So here are prerooted flashable .291 firmware for you:

Nice to see you are making your own ROMs. To fix bootloop issue download "bootloop fix" from here: https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
(Credits @niaboc79 and @machao44) and flash it with TWRP.

Hi kulvertti, it might be worth putting this link and saying it may be needed in your original post underneath the ROM download link to stop people complaining about it not working and you having to reply. I know that I had to install it on mine to get it to work and it seems lots of others did.

Cheers

I think you might be right so added instructions to OP.

I had wifi issues with marshmallow so I went back to 5.1.1.
