Deodexed is possible, pre-rooted only if your bootloader is unlocked.

new baseband? uh what band is that? that might cause some people phone not to work with their carrier

Link added, enjoy and report if it works

pre-rooted rom it's only for unlocked bootloader or only this firmware at the moment isn't rootable for locked?

It's a flashable zip, you need to install it via recovery, cwm or twrp and most likely it will only work on unlocked bootloaders.

[LolliPop][Prerooted flashable zip][23.1.A.0.726][Z2 tablet][SGP511][SGP521][SGP512)

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

Thanks, downloaded, flashed and tested with a dirty flash, except the writing to SD Card problem which was easily fixed by running the SDFIX app, everything works nicely.
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.

Kulverti, can you pm me a FTF download link, or put it in your OP? Thnx!

Op updated. I added prerooted SGP521 zip file for users wiht that device. I don´t have that device but @KimUyLong have helped me to test it. Thanks.

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.
Thanks.

So do I update using the 2nd method in your other thread? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/lollypop-t3057435 since im coming from your original Lollipop rom with no Recovery?

You need root and custom recovery to flash this so yes, that is one way to do it.

Anybody got an issue with storage display !? After get lollipop by flashing .690 update (and 726 too), memory mapping app and stock storage app display I have 3,73Gb free. But, when connect to PC, I only have 2,73 Gb free. Any idea !?

Probably doesn't matter. It's mostly for locked bootloader since it's the only way to get root so far. If you have unlocked bootloader flashing a custom kernel might be a better option.

modules vs updating software
hi,
I have some xperia modules, for example Xperia Xposed, 20MP SuperiorAuto, Link2sd and custom bootanimation. Will I have to do something more to successfully update my software using your pr-rooted rom? Or your general instruction will be enough?
Ps. What can I restore from full recovery backup? Is this backup restore all applications with data? ( I now it isn't a question connected with this post, but I hope it isn't a problem to answer it)
Thanks for all help

1. It's highly recommended to do a factory reset (if you didn't, your phone will be laggy and battery will drain)
BUT, if you don't want to do a factory reset, uninstall the xposed framework and modules before you flash the firmware and install them again after flashing.
2. via TWRP recovery you can back up :
TA"Trim Area", System, Data, Boot"Kernel"and Cache
So you can restore all apps with data.

I just went through this ordeal. There is a lollipop version of dual recovery here . You need to flash the flashable version of it through recovery and it will give you write access. You are probably using a Kit Kat version of dual recovery that doesn't disable lollipop simlock.

many thanks for the quick response. can I get this recovery "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip" for the sgp512 simple flash or something else must take place only before ... thanks:good:

You want 2.8.22 zip file. Flash in recovery. Done.

how did you get TWRP on your spg512? On their page in doesn't support Xperia z2 Tablets. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Good fit
This installed just perfectly. I like all the Sony apps and having root is a great bonus. Thanks Rusty!

Not sure what version of firmware you are on, but you might need to downgrade to an older version, run NUTs or another method to flash a new recovery. I went back to a 17.x version and skipped all the setups at firstboot, enabled Developer tools,then USB debugging, allow apps to be installed, and all that nonsense, then I ran locked recovery install.bat.
