How to root (SGP561) Z2 Tablet Verizon, new update 23.0.1.E.0.208 (4.4.4) - Xperia Z2 Tablet General

Hi guys, finally I've found a way to get the latest update 23.0.1.E.0.208 (4.4.4) without losing root on this tablet.
The method is the same as the method here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155), but we will use the files for Xperia Z2 Tablet Verizon instead of files for Xperia Z2.
First, you MUST BE on an older version (17.1.D.0.437) with root and XZDualRecovery
You need these files:
1. New 23.0.1.E.0.208 update FTF file (you can use XperiFirm to get it)
2. PRFCreator v0.5.zip (I tried the later version v0.8 but it didn't work, so better to use v0.5)
3. Latest stable SuperSU update package
4. XZDualRecovery flashable patched version (in the attachment) (note that the original version from [NUT] will not allow you to mount system rw)
Then follows step 4 to 11 in the instructions in the above thread for Xperia Z2 and replace all the files for Xperia Z2 with the files you've just got.
Good luck!

thanks for this, will try it this week...
noticed any issues with this update on the verizon tab?

Is it possible to flash back to 4.4.2, to root? Sadly, mine came with the newest update.

Worked like a charm! Thank you for posting this.

How come this cannot be posted as a flashable zip? Why do we need to create our own file? Just curious.

My internet connection sucks. It takes long to upload large files.

Trying to do this, however it seems we need a custom recovery already installed. Trying to install the XZDualRecovery from the installer file I downloaded but it just hangs at libdvm opened. Any other way to install a custom recovery so I can follow the rest of the guide to get my replacement tab rooted?

Sounds to me like you need to flash the old ftf first, then root and then install the custom recovery. Root only works on the older firmware linked above.

Thanks, I thought you had to have a recovery already installed for that. Downloaded everything I need plus old FTF file, can't seem to get it to work right. Think I am having driver problems even tho it works fine in fastboot mode through ADB. Can't get Sony PC companion to work either even tho I've downloaded pretty much every driver I can find for it. I'm on Windows 8.1

I never managed to get it to work on windows 8.1 by had a windows 7 laptop laying around and that worked fine. I would recommend finding a non 8.1 computer. Good luck.

Got it working. I didn't know I had to have the unknown sources checked. Also I didn't realize I was plugged into a 3.0 port in the back of my PC, so that didn't help.
Now that I'm on the old version and rooted, I saw some people had success with updating to the newest update for VZW and keeping root. Can anyone else confirm this? I have TWRP and everything on my HTC, but my tablet I would rather not mess with it as much. The steps in this guide are pretty involved.

My camera doesn't work after updating. Every time I hit the capture button it just freezes. I'd like to just wipe and do a clean install. Can I just do it in TRWP? Will I lose root?

[Q] Stock Unrooted Flashable ROM

Does anyone know of a stock flashable ROM without Root and Busybox?
I'm aware of the thread guiding people on going back to factory but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to just flash a Rooted ROM if I want one and flash back to standard unrooted if I want using TWRP.
My reason behind this that I spend a lot of time on the train at the minute so decided to get Sky Go. Unfortunately it detects that the device is rooted and won't run.
There are a few threads around the net with scripts and suggestions but nothing seems to work for me.
I don't think there are any..... Hmmm.

You can flash the stock ROM with fastboot but not from within recovery. Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I could make one I suppose, wouldn't take long at all...

If you could do that it would be great.
I was just looking at the tutorial to bake it myself but having issues with Cygwin. Much quicker and easier if you did it.
Owe you one.
I use Linux so it won't take long. You literally want a flashable stock ROM, no changes whatsoever?

Exactly. I use a standard stock rooted ROM usually.
Just realised I don't actually use root for anything at the minute but likely will do in the future.
Thanks again.
I'll try and do it this afternoon but if not this evening once back at home
Uploading at the mo, it's literally the stock ROM dumped into the kitchen and cooked out with no change whatsoever

Very cool that you've done this, but I should give a word of caution: there are some problems that wiping via fastboot will fix, but installing a flashable stock .zip won't fix. For example, when a 16GB phone thinks it's only 8GB. (I have reason to believe that there are other problems that can only be fixed in this way, but I can't prove it. :silly
That's not something the OP cared about, he just needed to 'unroot' to use a TV app that checks for root access
He should give this app a try

I tried that.
I tried a script that was published on the net to remove root and busybox.
I tried removing root and busybox manually.
I tried flashing stock kernal
I tried several other apps.
A flashable stock rom was my last resort as I was under the impression that I'd need to wipe and I didn't want to do that. I just tried it without wiping on the off chance that it worked and it did, so problem solved.
None of my Apps were using Root so I thought I'd get rid of it completely but wanted the option to flash CM10.1 once Bluetooth MAP profile is fixed and working without having to go through putting TWRP on again.
It's all in the OP and posts following that.
EddyOS saw what I was after and offered to help. He's a great dude.
Just for learning purposes, how come no one has made a flashable stock zip until now? Wouldn't it just be like any custom rom but instead its just stock?

[Q] Updating via OTA works with TWRP?

Have you tested it?, I am not sure if it could be possible since TWRP is OpenScriptRecovery so the system should be able to just get the OTA update to flash like nothing is wrong or anything.
I can restore the stock recovery using the Nexus Toolkit.

Even though that is for a different device and a completely different OTA set up. Being fully stock is always the best bet. Like I said I never do OTA and on a nexus it is almost completely pointless as the 4.3 update will be available in a flashable zip file with in a matter of hours in not less.

So the OTA update would just work?, all well I have the stock recovery flashed at the moment anyway so when the OTA updates stop I will flash the recovery back and then install a custom rom with 4G and USB Host supported also having all the good tweaks like the camera tweak.

I had CWM on my rooted Nexus 4, and the OTA for android 4.3 came along, and worked fine! Android asked to reboot to install the update, so I agreed, and the reboot loaded CWM which flashed the update. I lost root however, but it was easy to put back.
Has anyone done the OTA to 4.3 while having TWRP recovery? I wonder which of the two recoveries is better at handling OTA updates ... some folks say never attempt OTA with a custom recovery, but CWM has always handled it fine on my Nexus 4 (I've done different over-the-air updates around 3 times now).

I am also interested about doing an update to 4.3 with everything stock except for TWRP, and am waiting to hear other people experiences before I try it.

From what I am reading now, it's going to work. You will loose root and might loose TWRP, but if you have unlocked bootloader you can flash them both again. I'd say go ahead and let us know if you lost both root and TWRP or just root.

Actually, what I am reading now from a lot of people is that it is not necessary to download the file, and just do the OTA, as there is no difference. If I were to lose TWRP it is an easy enough process to get it back. As far as rooting, I am waiting for Koush to upgrade his superuser app, as I switched from SuperSU a while back (Both developers are having a tough time with 4.3). I am also waiting for things to settle down with all the 4.3 bugs and app upgrades. Maybe in a few weeks; there is just way too many issues.

No need to wait, you can switch back to SuperSU, the latest version (1.51) has been working perfectly with 4.3 for me.
BTW I just installed BootUnlocker for nexus devices, a great app that can lock/unlock your boot loader from within android without wiping your data!

***need help rooting***

What's up everyone, i'm new to the site and i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me root my galaxy note 3. I've tried rooting in the past and failed terribly. I tried on a sprint gs3 and a verizon note 2, and i almost bricked both of them. So if someone with a lot of experience would help root my phone and install a custom rom, it would be greatly appreciated. As far as the type of rom, i could careless about appearance...i'm all about performance and battery life. So basically, i want a rom that "overclocks" my processor and removes bloatware and unnecessary apps. I'll take instructions on how to do it but i'd rather someone remotely control my pc [teamviewer] to help. I'll even paypal you like $5 for helping me. Thanks in advance!
I *would* help you, but I'm having issues rooting as well. I'm no where near new to it, been doing it since my HTC Fuze way back when. There are a couple of ways to root, Vroot, will pretty much root anything android and there is Kingo. I would give you links to both, but its not allowed, but you can do a quick google search and find them and info about them. If you're on the MJE build, I was successful with both methods, but I managed to cause a few issues when I was rooted with Kingo and had to Odin back to stock.
You need kingo 1.1.8 and safestrap. Both are one button operations. I rooted and had the safestrap installed and the modified twrp recovery in less than 3 minutes. Kingo 1.2 had a faulty script and causing errors.

Obviously since the bootloader is locked down tight, if you want a custom rom, you need to use safestrap.
You need to download safestrap apk file from hashcode's website, open it, grant root permission, and install recovery.
Once you install recovery you can reboot to recovery right from the safestrap app, then create and activate rom-slot-1
Once active, you can flash/install your ROM.zip file (I would recommend Hyperdrive or Jelly Beans) and reboot...that's pretty much it in a nutshell, its relatively easy
Needing some help with rooting as well. Instead of making a new thread I figured I'd hijack this one
I just tried to root with Kingo, it failed to root. I have a S3 SCH-I535. Where do I go from here to successfully root my phone? I used Kingo 1.2.0.1876. I could not find version 1.1.8.

Thanks, finally got the download. All 1.1.8 links were leading to 1.2 download, had to use a mirror download to get 1.1.8.
Starting root now, hope it doesnt brick! Before I start...I guess I should ask, will rooting and going to a custom ROM fix my battery drain issues? Since the 4.3 update I get about 6 hours of battery life while not using my phone at except to turn the screen on for 10 sec to check the battery level.

I honestly don't know what to tell you. I have a note 3 and 1.1.8 worked for me.
Are you sure it's 1.1.8? I tried many times and downloaded 1.2even thoughit said1.1.8 and finally found 1.1.8 from a user on xda. If you need I can upload the correct version. But as previously stated you can find the most up to date safe strap on the note 3 board. Install the app press install recovery and every time your phone boots it will ask continue or recovery. Make a backup of stock and restore to any slot you want If you want to do stock rooted or select any slot and flash any rom (make sure it's for the Verizon note 3 because with a locked bootloader you cannot flash kernels) I'm currently running neon rom and with moderate usage I'm getting almost 3 days on a single charge. I find wifi downloading I can destroy 40 percent battery in about 2 hours though. Any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

You have to make sure you turn off antivirus. For me that meant turning off avg, Windows Defender and some other stuff I found it. Make sure you have developer options on USB debugging, screen stay on, and for some reason it seems like it helped to turn on unknown sources in your security settings on your phone. Sometimes it took me unplugging the USB and plugging it back in a few times in order for it to work but I just did it myself last week and making sure I did those things allowed me to do this pretty easily and reliably

[ROM][STOCK] Modded Stock ROM

Hello guys. I know people have been wanting custom ROMs for this device. I cannot give that, but I can give a modded stock ROM with Shaky156's kernel and touchscreen fix for android 4.4.2.

Install Instructions:
Boot into Recovery(TWRP/CWM)
Do a Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Reboot and Profit

Hope this will work with P1988W (a.k.a the .LTE-ready version). Shaky156's kernel won't seem to work with it.

2.5 years to late to the party mate, it didnt work anyway
Has anyone still got this rom thats available online. If it could be uploaded it would be much appreciated. I got one of these devices running stock 5.1 and its painfully slow so could really do with something that works
Many thanks

Android 7.0 for SM-T817W is out

The latest Android 7 Nougat firmware for SM-T817w, a Canadian version of the Tab S2, is out.
I did an OTA yesterday morning and it is now on firmware T817WVLU3CQDA. There was an update right after and now it is on NRD90M.T817WVLU3CQDA.DM.
I odined the TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t810_13317.tar) and twrp flashed the SuperSU (SuperSU-2.79-201612051815.aip) right after. It has TRWP recovery and root without even a glitch.
It probably takes a few week before Sammobile posts this official firmware.
Is this compatible with the T817T T-Mobile version?
I don't think so. You have to wait till that for t817t is released.
Hey man can you post a nandroid backup so us other users can try to go this route until the OTA is posted?
thanks
Sure, here it is, a link to the nandroid backup for those who need it. Restore it with TWRP.

Thanks, running good n sexy

How does one install this?
I have TWRP, Rooted - installed rom manager, nandroid manager, busy box, all the dependencies - booted into recovery and when I click on restore, regardless of where it is (internal sd, external sd, external usb) no files are shown.. i've unzipped it to a folder etc..
Do I have to wipe out twrp and install clockwork mod instead?

Just extract the directory and restore from TWRP.

Do this if you have room and time. This way you will know what to put where and how:
Do a backup in TWRP then look at the folder it created and you will have an epiphany

Lol thanks.. yes.. makes a bit of sense which is better than no sense.. who knew it had to be in TWRP/[long string of random numbers]/Backups
Its working now, except for a few things - I cannot transfer any files to the tablet via USB, there doesn't seem to be a developers option anywhere, I've lost the unified storage (damnit samsung..) and seems to have lost root.
Other than that, we're all good.
I flashed Magisk to root and you get dev option the same way... Just tap build 5 times. It is in a sub menu this time... Thank Samsung

Really! I also have a T-817w (here in Canada)... and I still haven't got the update. I'm full stock / never rooted, eh.
Any idea why I'm not seeing it, even when manually checking for the update? (Sammobile still doesn't have the update either.)
On Rogers still no Nougat as of today

I gave it a day and battery life is similar to MM during sleep. Screen on is more demanding though. No noticeable lag. So far so good.
