Hi-
I have rooted my device. Bootloader unlocked. Now my doubt is:
1. If I will still receive Kitkat update from Sony?
2. Can I be able to just download the same and install?
3. If yes, what will happen to my root?
Regards

Yes you will get a notification that an update is available, but your phone wont be able to install it (since bootloader is unlocked).
Thus, to apply the update, you need flash the stock firmware via flashtool.
And yeah, you'll lose root access once you flash the firmware. Just flash su binary via recovery to get it back.
Hope this helps.

Thanks @sohailferdous.... but I have few doubts - 1. I know the process of flashing a firmware via flashtool....but for that your need the ftf file...so is there a way to get the stock ftf file? Because .253 ftf india is still not available. The one present is AUS version
2. When you say SU binary I take it that its the SU zip file which is present in Doomlord's root update.

1. The AUS version should work on all phones.
2. Yup, the SU zip file on Doomlord's root update will work fine.

Hi,
I have a T2 Ultra Dual (Chinese Version ... XM50h) flashed it with the Australian firmware. Works great and shows now as D5322. Today I read about Kitkat Update - I'd connected the phone to the PC Companion - Companion started to download the Kitkat Update but when it shutdown the phone to install the upgrade I got the message that there is a modified software on the phone - update can not continue (Error2003)
Is it possible to get a flashable file out of PC Companion?

No, u cant use pc companion until n unless you relock your bootloader, try flashtool as an alternative.

Strange - bootloader should be locked - how can I check if it is locked/unlocked?
When I try to flash 4.4.2 unbranded firmware from Ashwin - flashtool stops after the bootcode and nothing happens. Flash failed (so says the phone after rebooting. PC Companion repair does not work.
Reflash of the Australian 4.3 works - phone is up and running after 4.3 flash ...
Strange ...
Found a solution by myself!
Downloaded recent Flashtool (0.9.16)
Clicked on BLU
relocked bootloader (I had forgotten that it was unlocked)
Rebooted the phone
Started PC Companion
Update to 4.4.2

How can i update versions?
please help.

Boot to recovery it should detect & install the update automatically
If not then update it ur self via recovery
Make sure it ur model rom with same sku
Sent from my ASUS_Z008D using XDA Free mobile app
i will try,
but i tried from the recevory and adb and it didnt work.
the install said eror becuase it is not the same sku you CN sku but in my phone there is allready WW frimwere
which firmware version u have installed & which one r u trying to install
u should update firmware sequentially(the next form ur current firmware then the next till the latest)
i have bulid number:
WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.13.40.13
I tried to the next one and stil dosnt work the full frimwere from asus and also only the ota from asus-zenfone.com
try this
4) Changing CN version to WW version
UL-Z00A-WW-2.18.40.12-user.zip to UL-Z00A-CN-2.18.40.12-user.zip
taken from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
Changing WW version to CN version in ur case
the full frimwere from ASUS or the ota only?
try ota first
dosnt recognize after restert...
what exactly have u done ?
download the ota---put the ota zip ( change the WW to CN) file in intenal storage----- connect the phone the pc---- restert
same with asus original frimwere
u should always detach ur usb cable after copying update to phones internal memory
see here http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1158&extra=page%3D1
sure i detached it and also try to do restert...
hmm strange i dont know what to do then maybe flash everthing via fastboot, but be careful not to flash the wrong partition
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
go to 3.2) Flashing Zenfone 2 do as posted there
If this doesnt work then i dont know what will
I tried few time every time i had an error and the error said wrong sku..
I tried to change the file name and still same problem..

I'm trying to install the TWRP img files (here https://dl.twrp.me/h815/) and none of them seem to work. after adb'ing to recovery, i only get an android icon with a " ! " on it. i've been installing TWRPs with my other phones and they work fine except for my H815
i'm on v20a, bootloader is unlocked, marshmallow. i'm using h815, vd2 (vodafone germany)
is there something wrong that i'm doing?

When you flash the recovery.IMG , the file has to be saved on your computer and phone.

i can now type in adb reboot recovery and TWRP works!
now, my next problem is.. how do you do the button command when powered off to go to TWRP? the usual recovery buttons still go to the stock ones (where you factory reset everything)
To cut it short; let me describe what i've done to my victim RIO-L01
1- I was on RIO-L01B321C185D005 (6.0.1) (Middle East CUST version)
2- I used Firmware Finder application to update to RIO-L01B330C185D005 (OTA, 505 Megabytes) and it was updated successfully.
3- I found another B340C185D005 (OTA, about 167 Megabytes) and i installed it successfully.
4- Next, i thought to do a refresh to my phone by installing B330 again (Full Package, 1.3 GB) but it wasn't successful (i guess because it is a downgrade)
5- I flashed (using fastboot Boot.img, Recovery.img, System.img Successfully) B321C185D005 again and i said let's start from the beginning! And here is when i messed things up.
6- The B340 Updated the CUST version, but when i flashed the B321 didn't update the CUST so now i cannot receive any OTA updates or even use the Stock UPDATE.APP and Stock Recovery to restore any version.
Now, what i need is to restore everything back to it's original state.
Stock ROM (I'll Accept any version )
Stock Recovery
Stock CUST
Here is my current System with ProjectMenu:
Hardware Version: HL1RIOL01M
Bootloader Version: RIO-L01C185B321_APPSBOOT
Kernel Version: RIO-L01C185B321_KERNEL
AP Version: RIO-L01C185B321_SYSTEM
CP Version: RIO-L01C185B340_AMSS
Parameter Version: CVersion: C185, DVersion: D003!
this's my problem too
hope to find solution

I had the same issue with yours, but a little different.
I've installed C636B320 and forgot to create a backup then I've installed a custom rom and since no backup was created for the stock rom, I cannot go back to it's original state and manually flashing C636B10 works with some hiccups.
Here's what I did.
I went to the bootloader/fastboot section of the device and erased my system, recovery, boot, and userdata partitions and took my phone to a service center. I got my board replaced for free since it's under warranty.
Board replacement is only applicable if they will not be able to revive your phone by reinstalling any stock rom that they have. Don't worry they will not find out that you've unlocked your bootloader since they cannot access it via Volume Down+Power Key, it's not working for MM roms.
It sounds like a big hasssle, but it works!
Unfortunately, I've completed my warranty period. This means that i'll pay a lot to change the board. I think I only have 2 last hopes... First, is to get a new official update, which will be a higher version of the current CUST. Second, is to get an image of a similar phone with original cust and replace mine..

I installed the Turkish version of A520FXXU2BQJ6 with november patch and all working great!
In Europe latest firmware's are locked so you can't flash TWRP via Odin.
But countries like India, Turkey etc.... there isn't any problem.

I want to ask, if we are using ROM XID (indonesia) and paired with a botloader from the Brazil ROM, will it work or not ??
