can you still root it with easy root?

Unfortunately not.

So it's using current kernel sources, or at least they merged this bugfix.

Yes, it's possible to root.
After a full installation, flash only the kernel from 108 (you can use NUT stripped one) and then use EasyRootTool to root your device, then install Recovery + SuperSu.
After that flash only kernel from 133 and it's done

[Prerooted flashable zip][23.0.1.A.4.30][(CustomizedUK) for Z2 tablet SGP511]

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.

Just want to say thanks. I'm going to flash this tomorrow . Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Is the the lollipop update or just a smaller one? If so what is changed?
Did a bit of research. Looks like it fixed smart cover bug and removes the non functional ultra stamina mode

Thanks guys for your kind word. This is still KitKat update. Haven´t seen chancelog but atleast Sony´s own cover works again as supposed and touchscreen seems to be more responsive.
Just wanted to add that I had to manually install the dual recovery. Installed fine but thought I'd mention it.

You need working custom recovery (TWRP) to flash this. So answer to your question is no.

Shoot.. I really am slipping.... I must have unlocked it at some point then because I do have nut's dual recovery onboard..
I should be able to flash over the top then... my only questions are if I do flash, will I have issues with the encryption keys, and how do I change the localization to us? ?

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 are welcome.
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. Or you can find one from general forum.

I think I know what I will do...
I want to have a stock rooted feel.
Download ftf from sony for stock through sony pc companion(save this in case...)
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?

If I understand you correctly you´ll be fine. In Sony servers for SGP512 and SGP511 Nordic region there are only firmware versions of 23.0.1.A.0.167. Not older or newer.

No you don´t need to unlock your bootloader and your DRM keys will be just fine.

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.

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 !

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 ?

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

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

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.

I'd also like to know if there are any locks or apps because of the Vodafone brand.
Sorry if my questions are silly, i am a newbie, just want to update my phone without breaking anything.

Hi,
My Z3C is on Android 5.0.2 now (23.1.A.1.28) with locked bootloader, root (superSU) and dualrecovery. Can i just flash this zip in the recovery mode and get rooted 23.4.A.0.580? Will i lose my personal data?
I'd also like to know if there are any locks or apps because of the Vodafone brand.
Sorry if my questions are silly, i am a newbie, just want to update my phone without breaking anything.
Thanks!

yes its prerooted and untouched (with some vodafone crap) easy to remove when Rooted<-
As for ANY flash, do a backup first! And your data and system will be gone, but SD card will be untouched.
No worries mate im running it now

it's an FTF correct? if so.. according to this and most users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706
you can't just flash it on recovery if you're on a different version.. in this case.. that poster is on 5.0.2.

i did read the stickies.. where do you think that link i posted came from.. also from the posts in those stickies.. people have said to use flashtool since flashing via recovery will not completely install everything like kernels. again.. i may be wrong, but that's what i've always read.. from those same stickies.

Do you have a 32.2.A.5.11 kernel build tool? Thank you
Is there a reason for using sr3 rather than sr5?
Thanks

I have the Xperia Z5 dual E6683 running on android version 6.0.1 and I was wondering if this would be compatible? Also what does "dsds" mean?

Yes of course it is compatible !!
this firmware is particularly for your Z5 model E6683, and which version of Android you are currently running has nothing to do with FTF flashing.
DSDS stands for dual sim dual standby , its a variant marker used by Sony.
Just download the flashtool (google it) and flash the FTF first then the kernel .
before that keep backup of your staffs .

I don't have any personal files on my phone since I just got it, should I still make a backup? And if so, how?

no need to backup then ..............
and for backing up you need to have TWRP .............
for that please do some googling in general ...........
get a overall idea and then get back here in XDA and I think you will fit in just fine ............ we can then help you out with the specifics I think
Hi @chinmoy32y
Is this rom deodexed?

this is the FTF file dude , how can this be deodexed ??? of course this is stock odexed firmware
If I use the XperiFirm software, do I need to do anything special or just download from there and flash from there?
Will my phone be rooted if I use the XperiFirm?
