Thanks that worked fine for me,
i finally took the kernel only from the customized_de Firmware, don't know if there is any difference between these files.
My Z1C was rootet, then the Update to x.157 came and i couldn't update it via OTA or PCC. So i flashed the new Firmware with the flashtool and my root was gone.
All other Root Tools like towelroot, newroot or easyroottooll didn't work.
So it finally worked with your little instruction. Thanks!
Root is back
Thanks alot. After upgrading to .157 via PC Companion (OTA didn't work) I lost my root. This brought it back, while all other tools failed.
With another firmware
I update myphone to 157 via flashtool but with a BAL firmware, is this solution still working? it doesn't matter if my actual firmware is customized or not?

Done!!! Thanks!!!!
random reboot
Fllowed the steps, used the proper kernel from this thread and I get only Reboots after screen lock appears...
Any ideas?
Is there something new?
It worked perfectly for me
Thank you very much
Thanks for the kernels..
Hi,
I was on 108. Updated to 157 through PC companion, lost root and got root back by following the steps in the OP link with the files provided here. A couple of questions I have:
1. How to get CWM back?
2. Is it safe to apply mods for 108 on this such as the mod for a single screen status bar, dark apps for dialers etc?
Thanks for the work and for any insights.
apv
hard brick?
followed the linked guide, but flashed the 108 kernel for the big z1 on my z1c, and now phone wont boot. Is it possible to fix that?
---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
never mind, managed to fix it with flashtool, even though I probably was REALLY close to a hard brick (no boot, no flash mode, just fastboot (blue led))
worked for me too thanks!
although I couldn't download the files from the OP I got them from Xperifirm..
the OTA wouldn't verify (not deodexed) so had to update from PCC and follow this..
I used the CE1 version from Xperifirm..

Update: Flashed 108 kernel again, verified still rooted, installed CWM following info available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Subsequent to that, flashed 157 kernel again.
Now having the 157 kernel, with root and CWM and have been flashing various mods that were working earlier on 108 with no issues so far (have installed the dark apps mod for clock, dialer, calender etc and the mod for having a single tab notification/status bar with 6 icons in a row).
Been about 5 days since I did this and so far, everything is working fine.
APV..
Worked like a charm. Thank you!

1. this is untested. so use at your own risk. i cannot test it since i dont have a spare device, i only have one which is my daily driver and i dont want to go through the hassle to test this. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. (but this should work, as all the processes went on correctly, as far as my knowledge goes)
2. this ftf file doesnt have the volume bug, screen bug, or whatever bug. so far it's working and i haven't encountered any bugs.
3. this came out of the Philippine update via PCC, just so you know.

What he means is, he got a working phone with no bugs. He took a backup. And shared it here. He has not tested restoring it.
Above is not literal, just giving you example to understand.
By backup I mean he created ftf. By restore I mean he has not yet flashed his own ftf.

Hi
Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.0.1.A.0.167, latest beta SuperSu v2.19 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.
Here is the link:https://mega.co.nz/#!EB4CiJgT!Tvav1NKMqhwnXNGBNU6-iIrRTNv0qJuOvHttGUlGnA0
Deodex patch for above rom to those who want to use modifications which are made only for deodexed rom´s.
This is tested and works just fine but make nandroid backup before flashing.
Warning: this will delete all files from system/app, system/framework and priv-app not just .odex files. That´s include Superuser.apk. So you will loose root if you don´t flash SuperSu after flashing deodex patch.
Install deodex patch by:
- flashing deodex.zip file in custom recovery,
- don´t reboot to system but flash also flashable Super.Su.zip file in custom recovery,
- don´t reboot to system but wipe at least dalvik-cache,
- reboot to system.
Here is the link to deodex patch: https://mega.co.nz/#!0BJyhJZC!LGISUimx7-YQFQrE5cVisS7R-87bRiJLraUAcxGyIIw
If you need to download SuperSu you will find download links
for stable v2.16 here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
for beta v2.19 here: http://download.chainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip

Thanks very much for this. Much better than having to unlock bootloader etc so we get to keep root. Gonna flash it to my sgp512 and report back. Is build.prop the only thing I need to change afterwards to make it look like an sgp512.

Haven´t tested this. As far as I know only difference is memory size.
Yeah it works fine. Way better than an FTF! Sony PC companion and a few other apps report it as SPG511 instead of SGP512 and it annoys me! I need to edit the build.prop to hopefully fix this. And I can confirm I too get the bug where the device won't sleep when you shut the factory case. It wakes it though! I'm sure Sony will release an update to fix it soon.
Just wanted to say thanks and let everybody know that you get a writable system partition with this Rom. The update worked fine and I must still rooted with a locked bootloader.
The only problem with this update is that the screen stays on if I close the case but I guess Sony will fix this some time.

You need to flash everything in that flashable.zip file. Wipes are optional but good practice.
To answer your second question I already made deodex patch for this firmware. Testing it right now and if it´s okey I can share it with you if you want.

Wel two reasons. This is Sony stock firmware just added root and custom recovery. Other reason is that there is report in Q & A section about same problem after OTA update to .167 firmware. If you now something more about this please share.

Ok, I don't knew that it was reported with the fully stock firmware.
I've updated my tab with PC Companion. Maybe it's the reason why I don't have this problem.
Anyway, thanks for the answer and for sharing your work.
I added deodex patch to op for this rom. Anyone who are going to try it should read instructions carefully.

Hi,
here is the flashable *.zip file wich installs latest Sony Bugfix Release of Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM 23.4.A.0.570 (Japan), latest SuperSu v2.49 beta (works stable for me since weeks!) and latest NUT Dualrecovery 2.8.21 with read and write access to system. Because device is Wi-Fi only region doesn´t matter. Only difference is maybe pre installed bloatware by region.
Thx to PRF Creator and Flashtool.
UPDATE - FILE DELETED. Please use Release from kulvertti
Of course i tested the release before uploading on my own Device. So far no errors found after upgrading.
I am not responsible for any damage to your Device or your Data! Be careful and make a Backup before flashing!
Tested now for some hours. Runs very stable.

By the way, do you have the MD5 checksum of this file? I hate to download a corrupted file. Thanks.
No. The Checksum Creation is not needed and only optional at PRF Creator. Never needed it for myself.
I'd also like the MD5. After I download, I'll post it. But if anyone else already has it, please post.
Here's what I show:
d00b36c07fa696f5803eb7671be2c518
Obviously, it could have an error and be corrupted, but I expect it's right. I guess if I flash it OK, then we'll know.
Couldn't the "No service"in the lockscreen be fixed by a module in xposed, like Xperia Xposed? I know the author would have to add it, but there's no harm in suggesting it?

quick question
Sorry for the amateur hour question, but I am 100% new to this rooting bussiness.
Do I need to Root my Z2 tablet before I do this?
Is there anywhere a ELI5 guide for someone who has never rooted a device before and is therefore ignorant about all the terms (Prerooted, ROM, Kernel, Flashing, etc)
my tablet is updated to 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.0.546
Sorry for being a pain, and thanks in advnce for any guidance.
BTW, I already tried using KingRoot and it fails at about 16%

No gurantee. Better pack your own with the Tools from first Post. It's easy.
Just flashed .570 last night and this morning I'm not getting 5gHz Wi-Fi. My dual band router is serving both bands to other devices, so that works; it's successfully serving my SGP511 at 2.4gHz. Anybody else? More importantly, any ideas how to diagnose the problem (I'm stumped)?
Check your Router. No problems here using 2.4 and 5.

You're being misguided here a little bit.
You will not be able to install dual recovery because you will not be able to gain root. Your device is having lollipop, so exploits used to for gaining root will not work in your case.
What you need to do is to downgrade from LP to some kitkat version where the exploits will work. Then you'll be able to install dual recovery and only after that you'll be able to flash pre-rooted lollipop.
To downgrade you need to use FTF from FTF collection (version prior to or equal 17.1.A.0.402)

Good news, seems that the new FW 28.0.A.8.260 is rolling out today! First devices got that update in xperia firm, so lets hope for bugfix and better touch response!
Just downloaded and flashed via flashtool/xperia firm ..... no MM ... minor system update with bugfixes ... nothing new here ... Better performance scrolling, wiping etc. No more lags with nova launcher. Touch also seems better on first sight.
Thank you ! One question, seems that pc companion update is not working today...update check doesn´t work, maybe problems on sony´s side?
It offered me the update here in Austria with Bootloader unlocked Generic German FW .... But i couldn install because of the unlock so i went the flashtool/xperia firmware route ....now i miss the root on the new update -.-

Youre right bro!!! Seems good news....
Fingers crossed hoping a better keyboard touch response and optimized RAM managing.
Edit: After installing it, noticed an smoother screen scrolling and an AWESOME touch response, even with a 0.3mm thick tempered glass screen protector, the keyboard response is Perfect!!!
Good Job Sony.

Or should I first go through .251 to be able to get to 260
I have not yet upgraded to 251 because of the touch issues...
Thanks.

It should be no problem to flash directly to .260 with flashtool if the touch issues are better. Will update my device today with flashtool as pc companion don´t give me that option since yesterday...maybe the servers from sony mobile are not reachable within pc companion but flashtool and/or xperiafirm is the answer

Just downloaded and flashed via flashtool/xperia firm ..... no MM ... minor system update with bugfixes ... nothing new here ... Better performance scrolling, wiping etc. No more lags with nova launcher. Touch also seems better on first sight.

Should you create the ftf file with or without the .ta files?
I tried without but got an errror when flashing my tablet. Some guides says with .ta and some says without.
Thanks!

You should create the ftf file with all the files downloaded with xperiafirm, than everything should work
androplus kernel is working on update, so I really hope that someone will make a flashable -maybe prerooted- image for TWRP.
I finally rooted+recovery after months of waiting, I'm really too lazy to restart from a FTF
One day after update my FW i think i can say it´s an improvement in touch! No problems so far will hope this problem is finally resolved!
Does anyone know if it would be safe to flash another region firmware to my tablet?
Needing this update but hasn't been released to me yet.
Mine has carrier branded firmware, they are infamous for releasing updates VERY slowly, if at all.
If it is safe, which region would you suggest?
I live in Australia.
no problem with WiFi tablet SGP712

Choose any FTF with should work with your preferred character set.
With the LTE versions there could be some differences with enabled radio bands or not. I would try a HK version first.
Head over to xperia cross devices. There you'll find a thread about unlocking all radio bands. Dunno if it works with SGP771.

Thanks for your help.
I am going to flash a HK version today and see how I go.
Is there many differences?
This won't affect having an Australian BKB50 will it?
(Sorry for so many questions, I'm new to this)

So far I have flashed CH, central Europe and DE without any problems to my SGP712.
And this tablet has seen several continents (not AUS).

I am having trouble getting it to boot into flashmode.
Every time I try, it just turns on?
I have reinstalled drivers, completed a factory reset.
It is driving me crazy!
Any ideas?
EDIT: I got it. Ended up holding down volume down while it booted off and it worked.
Thanks for answering all my questions
I appreciate it!

No .260 in the UK yet so I fancy "flashing". Just one question, I understand that I can use firmware from almost anywhere but what does "customized" mean in the Xpreifirm tool? I have an unbranded SGP712 so don't suddenly want to be locked into a vendor's bloatware!
Thanks
A word of caution if flashing an ftf. Make sure MXTP is disabled - especially if you reset after flashing or you will brick your tablet. This because I was stupid and forgot, resulting in my tablet having to go away for repair. Point of note - Sony UK offered to fix it but quoted 7 - 10 days turnaround. O2 did it in 3.

Kingroot doesn't work because of new security patches. We need a new version of Kingroot.
Letter of version just have geographic signification, no ?
Because there is V30B with latest Android path ?
Correct.

Since this is for European D855 model, there should not be any problems flashing on the international G3 right?

I'm in EU, but my G3 is for ARE region (Emirates). I installed V30n and there is warning about region after reboot, but everything works and there is no problems.
Installed it on my T-Mobile DE lg g3
After phone finishes booting up, warning message: current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[26201], subset[FF]
Message goes away if you click any ware on the screen
But still the major wi-fi problems with randoms disconnects and turning itself off when screen is also off, is still not resolved.
