Hello!
This is probably easy but, I can't seem to find Jelly Bean stock Rom for the M2 D2306 model. My Xperia is on 4.4.4 and the boot loader is locked, so I wanted to downgrade to Jelly Bean and use the Towel Root method.
I just can't seem to find any firmware or good tutorials for my model, I've seen a whole ton of firmware/tutorials for D2303. I don't want to brick my phone and have only rooted two phones ever so I'm not very experienced with it.
The tutorial I was following was from naldotech.com for a locked M2 phone.
My Build
18.3.1.C.0.21
Any help would be most appreciated,
thank you!
You don't need to downgrade, you only need kernel ftf which you can find it in tutorial that Miche1asso made. Search M2 forum you'll find rooting methods with out downgrading.
Good Luck!

I think that KingRoot or RootKing can root your Xperia M2.
Good Luck !
You don't need to root via jb now as there's a one click Root tool for 4.4.4. Works great used it myself before is on here in m2 general forum I think

Okay, I haven't been able to find the One Click Root you're talking about yet, do you happen to know the name of it so I can search for it?
All the kernals I've been finding for D2306 have been removed or give a 404. I thought I remember reading RootKing has adware in it and wasn't really a full root, is that true?
Thanks for the help so far!

I can't find a method to root my device, it's always for D2303 or D2305, and when I finally find something, the build number is different.
Xperia M2 D2306 4.4.4
Build number: 18.3.1.C.1.13
Locked bootloader.
Do you have 4.3 kernel for D2306?
If you do, this - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2999665

I found this thread and it has a bunch of firmwares but not for 18.3.1.C.1.13 (which I have). Is there any problem if I flash another one, e.g. 18.0.C.1.17? If there is, can anyone show me the 18.3.1.C.1.13 FW? I'm searching this for quite a time.

Yeah, it's 4.3 jb you only need kernel from that, so, open Flashtool select .17 ftf check everything except kernel, follow Instructions from root thread.
Good Luck.

Even I tried that but failed and also tried SVAdeodexer it doesn't have any errors but it does not deodex properly
Anyone tried to deodex this firmware like Z's firmware?
Here is guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-to-deodex-lollipop-5-1-1-10-7-0-222-t3211797
It doesn't have something to do with the services.odex file Sony have mucked up does it by any chance as rajasthan why xposed doesn't work

Exactly, as @[email protected] said, none of the current deodexing software works for the M2, probably because of corrupted services.odex

I don't think its because of corrupted service.odex because other apps also are not getting deodexed.

True. There's something big happening here. Don't know how, but Sony screwed up the system that much that we can't use Xposed nor deodex it. I can't understand why they did this...

Xposed any developer who can make the case xperia mobile m2 with lollipop, because it is the terminal that gives only bootlop hope someone will take my case, I'd be more than grateful and many users using the same terminal will be too first of all, Thanks :llorando: :cruza los dedos:

Xposed won't work on 5.1 lollipop on Xperia m2 and t2u bootloop is all you will get. deodexing tools won't work either. It's looking like it may never work either of you want Xposed you'll have to go back to kk

Try port deodex z5 style
Hi
Last week i bought a M2Dual for my wife.i rooted its stock 5.1.1 and also wanted to install Xposed on it.
After unsuccessful googelings and too many pages i looked in ,as a friend suggestion i flashed myown Z2 flashable zip(for xposxed fw)on it via TWRP that yielded me nothing but a bootloop!
Anybody ever having Xposed Framework installed on d2302 LP 5.1.1 ,...175 ?
I wonder not even a single thread on Xda talked about this matter!
Help me please
Pordon my bad English
It's well known that xposed will not work on stock 5.1 Sony on m2,t2u and c3 due to Sony screwing up its also why deodexing tools will not work. If you really want to run xposed you'll need to use either gaurav's deodexed Z1c port or linuxct's Z5-STYLE rom both in the m2 android development forum on here
