flashed .438 ftf from bell, gained root/recovery then flashed your prerooted zip.
everything is as it should be, thank you for these updates
Hi,
Did try to flash this...
Nothing to do : only a black screen on reboot.
Probably because I use the DoomLord Kernel and not DualRecovery...
Soft reboot and then FlashTool... here I come !
Regards.
Sorry for the noob question but if I do this will I get root access on my Z2 tablet without needing it to be rooted first ?

You first need to get root and recovery on .314 or .401 version firmware, for example, by this, and then follow the instructions in the OP.

That guide worked perfectly for me before, but it doesnt work for 4.4.4 build 23.01.A.3.9 so I am unable to get root access to do anything.
Guess ill have to wait 7 million years for the official 5.0 release to hit my tablet and hope it addresses the inabilty to write or install to SD

Done ! Downgraded, rooted, then flashed a Zip file for the UK pre-rooted version that another kind member compiled for me.
Its working perfectly with all LTE functionality and full root access.
Finally got there !
Thanks

Hi there,
Can you please supply a link for the 312 pre-rooted UK version.
:fingers-crossed:
I have a question. Will the tablet remain its warranty or will it replace also bootloader? And can I use it for 511?

The ROM won't unlock your bootloader
you can not use it for your 511 (you need a ROM for 511 or 512)

Both work with Doomlord, once it is rooted you should use rootkeeper otherwise OTA will remove your root.
You can update using OTA using WiFi under settings -> about phone
Otherwise you can use the Sony Bridge Software to update your phone but it will delete root and there is not root for later versions of the software.
The latest version out now is 4.2.2 build 10.31.B.0.224

If you install root keeper you should be OK with OTA update. Updating the phone with the PC software will remove root.

Hi
Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.0.1.A.4.30 which this time is customized UK, latest stable SuperSu v2.37 and latest beta Dualrecovery .154 for Tablet Z2 with read/write acces to system.
This is tested and works just fine though make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file with custom recovery. Wipes aren´t necessary but good practise.

So you have working custom recovery? What exactly do you mean that you lost your root? Partial root or something else? If you have working custom recovery why not just flash latest SuperSu from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/636/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip
And then about encrytpion keys. Do you mean that you have encrypted your device or perhaps DRM keys? Flashing prerooted firmware have no effects to your device DRM keys if you mean that.

I had root and lost it in the ota... superuser says such not installed... I just went in and tried recovery and it did not come up, so I am assuming it flashed me back to stock in more ways then one... I am now looking at your zip to get root back if I can get dual recovery back on the tablet.

You need Flashtool and correctly installed drivers for it and rootable firmware in ftf format. If I remember correctly latest was 17.1.2.A.0.314. If you want to I believe you can use this one: https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 It is for SGP511 but memory size is only difference between devices.

Run prf creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904) and add root and recovery
use flashtool to put on Nordic with root and custom recovery
use the recovery from nordic to flash the rooted stock firmware.
I should be golden then right?
Last questions though. Do I need to be unlocked to do this and will my DRM keys stay good?

Thank you. Short answer is that as long you have root access you can install prerooted firmwares so basically same way you do with this prerooted firmware. Credits how to make prerooted firmwares are in op. Some point there is no method to root newer firmwares without unlocking your bootloader so I did that too but because backed up TA partition I´m back with rooted device and locked bootloader.

Simple answer....no
The recoveries were really only working properly on 4.4.4, and that was only if you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a dual recovery+boot.img. For some reason, flashing a recovery to the normal "recovery" partition, even though successfully flashed, wouldn't allow access to it. Only the "FotaKernel" flashing (dual recovery) was working somewhat.
Theoretically, under 4.4.4, you could get to recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img", but it was ify-ify if the recovery would show on the display. I had to do it numerous times.
Once you've upgraded to 5.0.2, the only option is
a. Wait for a dev to make a compatible recovery (probably fotakernel type, or one that can be booted using "fastboot boot recovery.img"
b. Wait for somebody to create a modified boot.img which will allow adb push (to push superSu using up to date binary). I can do this, but right now am busy at work, and won't get around to doing it until sometime this weekend.
Either way, I suspect it's going to require an unlocked bootloader. But I wouldn't reccommend that until you learn the disadvantages and back up your DRM keys.
You could probably roll back a couple versions to an earlier OS (ftf flashing) and try with what recoveries we have now.
I'm still on 4.4.4 (unlocked bootloader and backed up DRM keys, not that you really need them for most folks), so will be working on it this weekend.
Thank you for the elaborated answer! I have unlocked my bootloader, and was rooted on 4.4.2 but was unsuccessful in rooting 4.4.4.
I will wait until a modified recovery is released and hopefully be able to root then. Thanks again for the explanation.

I've tested it myself. Runs like a charm.
Does it come with 2g toggle and without nfc icon, close all button ?
where can i get the old 14.4.A.0.108 ftf? It's not available in xpirirfirm.
Is there a guide how to install NUTs dual Recovery?
Edit: found the old tft
Is there a way to flash a sony stock based 5.0 Rom (like this) in cwm?? I have cwm and i'm on slimkat 4.4 at the moment...thanks! (bootloader unlocked, root aviable)
Regards
I got it.
root is available, what is reallly nice
60fps Video is available
Now i have a annoying sound when the phone boots, further booting time is very long.
No closing all button.
I hope i'll get Xposed working so i can fix these issues and turn off the LED signals
Edit: the boot sound can be disabled
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60078591 This version had kill all button,flashed it without root. Nordic version through PC companion don't have. Weird differences between versions. Don't know if I have the energy trying to root the damn thing again today,yesterday rooted three times trying different versions of rooted Lollipops and failed every time

done - all working find... now we have to wait for the additional tweaks
Is it possible to make pre-rooted FTF file so we don't have to downgrade to KK and upgrade again to LP??
Is there's a way to root LP already?
Thanks All

You can't make an FTF file due to Sony's encryption. Best way for pre-rooted xperia firmware is thru Flashable PRF.
Soon enough there will be a 1 click easy root tool for lollipop for xperia phones so stick with stock unrooted for the meantime
(seriously it's been just a few days since the fw was released)
There are ways but only with unlocking the bootloader (no one click or whatsoever) so in the end the one above seems to be the easiest way... and it´s not that much time consuming to downgrade to .108 and upgrade afterwards...

Thank you for your reply, I don't think I can wait until a root method comes out, there are many features in KK that I miss, and a couple of annoying ones in LP I guess I'll just go with the downgrading method...

You do not need root. Simply flash .108, root and flash back 157. It is really very easy and takes only several minutes.

As you already said. Fist of all you need root permission on your device. But because you already installed 5.1.1 via OTA I'm afraid your device is "locked down". If KingRoot isn't able to root 5.1.1, then there is no easy way to get root on your device. In this case you have to downgrade first via Flashtool. Or you could unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel which has twrp integrated. But keep in mind that you will loose your drm keys this way.
BTW: I wouldn't use KingRoot even if it is able to root your device, because I don't trust this app....
Thnx mate for your reply
OK I will downgrade my tablet to 5.0.2
But I need you plz to point where I get my previous Android
And if I flashed it with flashtool all my data will be gone?!
Then I will root my tablet again then flashed this stock in this thread, am I right?!
And btw, why you didn't trust kingroot app, it's working with my tablet just fine! ?
I'm using Official Xposed for LP v.74 and it's working good on 5.1.1.

Try this FTF:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...ny-xperia-tablet-z.457524/page-3#post-7918151
After that, use XZDR (TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Use Option 3 from Installer, which will use an root-exploit, that is still available in .230 Firmware.
In newer Firmwares this option isn't working anymore and you need to root by your own first.
And finally flash this PreRooted Image via TWRP or CWM

Depends on which Options you use to flash. If you exclude Data-Partition, then Data will be still there. But booting KitKat-Firmware with Lollipop-Data will not work or at least will screw up everything. So in the end you would need to wipe data anyway. (Be aware that flashing FTF including Data-Partition will also wipe internal storage / internal sdcard)

Well, there are mainly two things:
1. It needs a internet connection for rooting (who knows which data is send to them ...)
2. It isn't always providing a full working root, which is not very nice for devolpers and users, because their apps/packages maybe don't work properly...
Thank you Mcbane87
Well,I already downgraded my TabZ SGP321 and flashed kitkat 4.4.4 with build number 10.5.1.A.0.283 via flashtool like you said, even I got many failed steps at the beginning but I did it
Then I rooted my tablet using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/development/root-sp321-ftf-10-5-1-0-283-t2873377
So what to do next?! and I had another couple of questions please:
1- I am from Egypt so when looked into this firmware I didn't find Arabic language, is that Normal and how I get Arabic language
2- why I feel that kitkat is much better than lollipop and much easier and battery life is much better while I am playing my game with charger connected still battery going low slowly ?
Note: I am using root only to use Xmod for playing Clash Of Clans :laugh:!
I flashed it, seemed all ok, but:
no root, no recovery? no SuperSu in my Apps, I failed to enter recovery. What did I do wrong? what to do now?

you must reflash a rooted Firm(like 230) with flashtool.
Starting enable debuging and install nuts recovery 2.870 with option 1.
Then reboot and hold volume down when the green light on and you are only in TRWP mode.
Flash the 5.1 from sd1 and all was good.

It's faster to flash .230 .ftf stock unrooted, install recovery with option 3 and after that flash what you need from TWRP.
Well it's an easy, I flashed this stock via twrp and I used root checker to be sure that's my tab is rooted but I didn't find supersu!
Is this normal or i did something wrong?!!!

if SuperSu is incorporated into a ROM, it can sometimes be hidden in Developer Options. Failing that, just install it from the Play Store.
Yes i downloaded it form Google play and all set, thanks bro

In short xposed framework is just an addition to the in-built framework of your ROM. It helps you to customize your ROM for personalization and adding extra features to your device. Try googling xposed framework and keep working on it to get deeper knowledge about its modules and stuff.
But, make sure you know how to recover your device from bootloop and softbrick before installing the xposed framework. :good:

I wrote that already. Install XZDR then install this ROM.
But looks like you already managed it yourself

Could be possible, because this is ROM was created from Sony for Germany. Maybe they didn't integrated Arabic language and letters.

Didn't made that much comparison with TabZ, but on my Z1c I can confirm that some things are better with KitKat like bluetooth (only 5.02...didn't testet 5.1.1 till now) and other things like touchscreen response (phantom touching) is better in lollipop. Concerning batterylife I didn't saw any difference.
Well and the design / functions of lollipop are a question of personal liking. I personally hate the new LockScreen and its notification behaviour.
I would be happy finding a xposed module which would bring back old lockscreen on Lollipop, but I'm afraid this isn't that easy....
Well, I am big fan of Sony, I got Sony Xperia Z and I love lollipop in it and btw I have installed stock firmware prerooted as well
But frankly I am preferring kitkat in my tablet it's looks much better and easier
Anyway thank you for your helping bro

Did you try Gravity Box LP and Serajr Xperia™ Xposed (LP)? They will definitely help to change the look of Sony LP. Work good on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1
