Hello everyone , As Sony has release the Lollipop Android 5.0.2 for Sony Xperia Z3 , Z3 Compact and Xperia Z2 .

As many people are not getting the OTA updates / cannot update to Lollipop on their Sony Xperia Z2, so here I am posting a newbie friendly tutorial on getting the official Android Lollipop 5.0.2

This tutorial is only for Sony Xperia Z2 ( D6502, D6503, D6506 ) . Do no flash this on any other phone except Z2



Disclaimer : I am not responsible if you brick your phone or if u make any other damage to your phone 


Step 1 : First of all download this ftf File from here - DOWNLOAD LINK 1   OR    DOWNLOAD LINK 2
                                                             
Step 2 :

  • Download Flashtool from the official website - http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
  • Install it on your PC using onscreen instructions. It will create a folder "Flashtool" in your drive (C:\Flashtool)
  • Now go to C\Flastool\drivers\flastool-drivers.exe and click on it and install it after marking/checking "Flashmode drivers and Xperia Z2 Device Driver"
  • Restart your PC



Note: Make sure you have USB debugging on. If not goto setting>developer options> and check USB debugging on

 
Step 3 : Now place the downloaded ftf ( from Step 1 ) file to C:/Flashtool/firmwares/

Step 4 : Now open Flashtool from the Start Menu

Step 5 : Now click on the FLASH icon of the flashtool which is on the left side of the iconic tab(below the 'file' option-it's like a lightning sign).a window will be opened Mode Selector. Check "FlashMode" and press "ok" button.









Step 6 : Now Select the Firware file which you had placed in C:/Flashtool/firmwares/ in Step 3

Step 7 : A Dialogue Box will appear just click on OK

Step 8 : Now the flashtool will prepare files for flashing and then you will be prompted to connect phone in flashmode.

Step 9 : 

  • Now Power Off your phone and wait for 5 Seconds, then Connect your phone to PC using USB cable while pressing volume down button (-) (Make sure you dont release Volume down button until flashtool starts flashing) 
  • Flashtool will start flashing firmware it may take some time. ( Now u can release the volume down button )
  • After flashing flashtool will prompt you to disconnect you phone. Discconet it and power on your phone (It may take some time for the first boot).
  • Enjoy the Official Lollipop Android 5.0.2 on your Xperia Z2

It is a firmware for the D6503 because you say you that is compatible for D6502? Now you tested?
