Here are the links to the flashable zip and the ftf for the 23.1.A.0.690 NOBA Lollipop Stock. There is no recovery yet for lollipop stock based Z3TC ROMs, so the zip comes without one.

After installing and gaining root, to get system R/W access you need to run my script which will enable RICDefeat on the device and allow R/W of the system partition. Just extract SGP621-RICDefeat.zip and run the install batch file. It should also work for other devices, but as I have not personally tested it on anything else than my SGP621 and Z2, I cannot guarantee for it. So if this makes your cat explode, it is not my fault.

I tested the zip and used it to upgrade mine and it works. And as the zip was generated using the ftf (which I did not test on its own) I assume it also works

No recovery for stock based lollipop ATM. I updated the post with that Info now. Also I do not think exposed works with lollipop, or does it? The installer at least told me that it is not compatible at the moment.

Hi, thanks for your work. I make my own zip with ftf and supueruser zip file. The Rom is working perfect and root works, but I can not mount /sytem as RW, every time I tried (as root) I get an "operation not permitted" is there anything I can try to write in system?
Thanks!

just updated my sgp621 with your flashable zip and used your script. works like a charm! thanks a lot.
again thanks lowtraxx you are awesome I've try it and it works very good only SGP621 without a problem but. I needed exposed for some feature that some modules give me and I went back to 4. 4. 4 I guess I'll just have to wait for a little bit longer till exposed is working for lollipop and TWRP too. but again thanks a bunch lowtraxx
Noob question, sorry >.<
Hi, @lowtraxx. I'm kind of new to Sony devices, so I'm not confident with rooting yet.
Anyway, my Z3TC (SGP621) is still on stock 4.4.4. So to get rooted 5.0.2, do I need to follow your guide:
"[How-To] Rooted Stock or CM12 with Locked Bootloader for SGP621 using giefroot" from numbers 1 to 37 (with rooted stock)
then flash the prerooted lollipop zip via TWRP? Then the updated RICDefeat? No need to use the lollipop ftf?
Thank you so much for all your work!

I was able to install 5.0.2 using flashtool, but because I can't get into recovery, I can't flash this prerooted zip file.
I'm a bit of a noob in regards to Sony devices, but is it possible to flash this file using flashtool..?

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.

Hi
Here are flasable zip files wich installs latest ROM 23.1.A.0.726 which is LolliPop and region this time is customized TW, latest stable SuperSu v2.46 and latest fully working Dualrecovery 2.8.10 (2.8.14 in SGP511 .zip) for Tablet Z2 with read and write acces to system.
Make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file via custom recovery. TWRP recommend.
Factory reset is recommend if you came from KK. If you already have LP installed this is small update to 23.1.A.0.690 so you be just fine by dirty flashing but dalvik and cache wipes are recommend.
Here are the links

Is Lollipop supposed to give back the write to SD card which was taken away in KK?

You are welcome. About your question. LP sort of fixed the thing with external sd cards by giving developers away to add their apps installation file new permission to have read, write and delete access to chosen directory also other than apps own directory. So LP fix this but developers have to update their apps to use this new method.

Thanks again kulvertti for doing this for us! Can anyone comment on the bugs/glitches with this rom? Sounds like lots of stuff was wrong with 690. I tried the cm12 lollipop and that had problems with having too. So far, cannot see a reason to upgrade to lollipop from rooted 4.4.4.

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...

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

Yeah, check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
In short, what you will have to do:
1. Go back to kitkat.
2. Root and install recovery.
3. Create a flashable zip with prfcreator (tutorial in the link).
4. Paste the flashable zip to your sd card and flash it via recovery.
The process is not so hard, just follow the instructions. If you want, I can make you a flashable zip and post a download link, but I won't be able to to it before tonight when I get home :/
Ok, thanks
This seems rather complicated. I also have a xperia zr, on that i just flashed the recovery via flashtool and then flashed the superSu zip via recovery, that gave me root.
Isn't there any other simpler way for xperia z2.

You may try this: http://techjeep.com/2015/04/04/how-...xperia-z2-running-lollipop-locked-bootloader/
Im not sure if it's going to work, I have not tried it yet.
I have also heard of another way with an app called Kingroot or something, but rumor has it that this method sends your IMEI to a company in China or Japan or something.
The safest way is to downgrade to KitKat, root + install recovery and then upgrade to rooted lollipop from recovery. (Tutorial in my last post and again, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155)
Hmm....ok.
Looks like i need to do some read and try the previous method. It seems safe for the device.
I used to run CM12 though, can i flash the zip from that itself or is it necessary i go back to kit-kat.

The zip file has to be flashed from recovery. If you have recovery at the moment, you can flash the zip. If you are running CM12 at your device now, you do have recovery, so just do a backup of your data, flash the zip file created with prfcreator and wipe cache/dalvik.
If you don't have recovery, you have to downgrade to Kitkat in order to install recovery.

What's important is step number 6 in the tutorial: "6. Uncheck all the Include options [ ], we don't need them, we will flash them with Flashtool after the update. I think it's still safer to flash kernel, baseband, boot and other system critical parts of the firmware from Flashtool.
(But if you want to include them anyway then you can skip part 11 and start your phone normally.)"
If you are at CM12, and choose to NOT include the options he is talking about in step 6, you HAVE to do step 11 aswell.
If you choose to include them, then you skip step 11 and reboot phone normally

The zip file has to be flashed from recovery. If you have recovery at the moment, you can flash the zip. If you are running CM12 at your device now, you do have recovery, so just do a backup of your data, flash the zip file created with prfcreator and wipe cache/dalvik.
If you don't have recovery, you have to downgrade to Kitkat in order to install recovery.

I have tested the Xposed one and its working fine with the Dirty flash variant!
Well done and thanks for charing with us.
For the user who will use the xposed version I can suggest the modules from my screen.
P.S. Greetings from Unna ☺
P.P.S. Maybe you can upload the zips to your google drive if you have got enough space free.

Thanks and my google drive is empty ;D
So i can upload it to drive, i will update the Link(s) when its done.
Sorry to all who have tried downloading from Google Drive, I have not yet used Drive and therefore not realize that the files were not public, I have changed that now! (I hope so) :/
Dirty flashed the Xposed version. All looks fine. :good:
Can I dirty flash this on 4.4.4 Stock Rom, rooted with custom recovery? Or do i need to be on 5.0.1?
I think there should be no problems, its just like any other ota update

If I do a backup of 4.4.4 I can restore it? No need to downgrade or anything?

Backups can be restored on any version, cause in the backup is everything from the system (anyone correct me if I am wrong ;D)
Have to say, after a very long boot animation and app upgrade, nearly 20 mins, the dirty upgrade with the xposed firmware, worked a treat. Had to restart a few times after updating apps and tweeking xposed, as I had it installed before this update. Everything is working brilliantly and its running fast and smooth, with little overheating and looking like decent battery life, compared to rooted 4.4.4 that I was on. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

If you use xposed and want a bit more battery life install mobile active radio fix for xposed.
