You need stock kernel, stock recovery and absolutely no changes in /system partition including root.
Oh, just to be precise - you can actually receive an update if you´re not fully stock but you won´t be able to apply it.
Edit: Philz recovery and root can be actually in place, tested that today.

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.

Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?

I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.

Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?

I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338
It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

A Little Testing - FrankenPop

IF YOU UPGRADED TO 5.1 ALREADY THIS IS NOT FOR YOU
EDIT: See the post by firstEncounter! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61749727&postcount=6

tldr;
If Lollipop can run without Lollipop bootloader/partition table then you can have rooted Lollipop and keep ability to downgrade.

Second?
Edit: So we actually tried this but Mofo didn't like the unrooted Lollipop image. We were able to upgrade and downgrade the things FirstEncounter was able to. Perhaps JulesJam's image would work.
After reflashing ComputerFreek's image my phone is 100% back to normal.

Someone is always willing lol, but in this case I sold my immediate backup phone so I'll be waiting. Thank you very much Matt for jumping in.

waiting to see if thermonuclear war breaks out or these two just get rooted lollipop. lol

I've been able to upgrade and downgrade boot, recovery, fsg, and modem. I haven't tested radio, but 5.1 works fine with the existing radio so far.
I'm currently uploading my modem.img that was patched with the OTA files (since it didn't come in the 5.1 image), along with the rest of the files needed to upgrade to 5.1.
EDIT: Images + instructions posted in this thread.

I tried with both stock and a rooted one, works great so far.

It's a shame I jumped ship and took the OTA early. Looks like I may be needing a warranty replacement soon.

This is the unrooted ext4 image I made from the sparsechunks. If FirstEncounter's rooted image works then there is no need for me to root this one. I am not sure mine is the right size or not.

[Latest][5.1.1][BUGFIX][Prerooted][23.4.A.0.570][Z2 Wifi Tablet][SGP511]

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.

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)

I'm rooted and on TWRP recovery. Tried flashing stock recovery and installing the ota but the ota fails :S
Can anyone tell me how to extract the ota files from cache ? All I see there is a 4mb zip file which when I try to flash I get an error.

ota wont work with root, exposed and such. BL unlocked is ok. This ota has been problematic there are instructions on how to take it.
In my case I just flashed from scratch Lolipop 5.1 for moto x 1058 rogers, then took OTA . Then twrp ,root...

I'm kinda trying to avoid losing everything every time motorola pushes an update.
I wouldn't need to be rooted if they fixed their ****ty bugs like the cell services taking 40% of the battery...

I hear you man. You are on point, I noticed this Ota fixed my non ability to hang up calls

Flash service ROM native to your existing verison, but take only four partitions: system, kernel, recovery, modem (very important to have all 4 genuinly intact), and OTA will install easily. Use mfastboot to flash partition files.

But I wouldn't recommend to receive OTA. On unlocked bootloader you can install any custom ROM with vulnerability patched already.
Don't mix official, and non-official way to treat smartphone - kinda general advice. Latest OTA can break the security zone, and you'll loose ability to play with ROMs.

Advice on which ROM to try? Only thing I care about is the active display thing. So the must haves is active display or similar, and the ability to update without losing all my data. I'm not big on having to re-do everything, including my android wear settings/apps.

Check this topic, or you can try experimental ROM (baked by Crash][), version for TWRP install. Both variants are stock based, so incompatibility should be minimal.
Cache wipe can be done freely, but don't wipe data or internal storage - you'll loose your information. Make a full TWRP backup first, and save it on external media
