In (3) i mean to flash the downloaded rom from the link i gave, witch is a zip file.
Yes you can change language and read the menus.
Here is a detailed guide but for another rom file.

Most appreciated subwrc

Please delete it.. wrong section..

Is this for C5302 or C5303?
Also, do you have to "wipe data" or can you keep your data so when you start the phone after completing the installation, all your apps still remain?

It's for C5303.
I think you can keep your data partition but haven't tried though. Do a backup first.

You have to do everything from the beginning as described in the first post. Root, install recovery and flash rom.

Thank you for the kernel itself. My C5303 (Central Europe) now works flawlessly with ROOT. DooMLoRD kernel had problems with RAM.

I bit the bullet and done this upgrade (from android v4.12 to now android v4.3) and it went well
So now i have android 4.3 on my xperia sp and i also have my data intact too as i chose not to 'wipe data' before flashing, however i did clear dalvik cache and wipe cache.
Most important though, is that i can now use three (3 uk) 4g (LTE), which i couldnt use without upgrading to android v4.3
For the curious this is what I used (and i followed the instruction here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51654818&postcount=1) -
- pre-rooted.C5303_12.1.A.1.201_Generic GR_1272-4887.zip - (the rom in this thread using the link provided by the OP in the 1st post in this thread)
- UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip - (using the link provided by the OP in the 1st post in this thread)
- recoverys_signed_040414_162006.zip --- (my new recovery - for more see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50359355&postcount=1)
Now that i am happy with the upgrade, my question to those who have upgraded to android v4.3 is this -
(1). for security i used to use LBE Security Guard in v4.12 and it worked okay, however the version i have does not seem to be working properly on android v4.3, especially the blocking of apps from using the internet (4g/LTE) ...any known solutions with regards to this app?
(2). Likewise for security i used to use Xprivacy on android 4.12 but however it too does not seem to be working properly all the time now and i suspect that its because i still have installed the version i had before upgrading to v4.3, any suggestions as to the version of Xprivacy that anyone on v4.3 are now using please?

correction
just realised no wifi after upgrade
wifi does turn on but no router shows up and i am surrounded with routers and even if i manually add a router or access point, it does not do anything when i click on the newly created access point.
Anyone having this issue and any suggestion pls?

Actually the problem has been traced back to the ROM, something to do with symlink, see here for fix after upgrade -

[Update][Latest][6.0.1][Prerooted][23.5.A.1.291][Z2 tablet][SGP511][SGP512]

Hi
Here are flashable zip file wich installs latest Sony stock 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM 23.5.A.1.291_R3D (VMo AU-NZ), SuperSu v2.76 and latest TWRP 3.0.20 with read and write acces to system. Because device is Wi-Fi only region doesn´t matter. Only difference is bloatware. Since Sony hasn´t push update to SGP511 I use SGP512 firmware which is working fine on my device. If you want you can edit build.prop file in /system -folder to correct model number as shown in screenshot.
Here is the link for new 6.0.1 firmware:
https://mega.nz/#!VcxGyRZK!U4NqLOSeg1X_3KNC1_xXm2WnH4_i2OoZ6NwuyaIR6Hw
MD5 is: D3B78445485765AB7BD3A163F2A6C4BD
Make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file via custom recovery. TWRP recommend. If coming from .570 or .575 firmware dirty flash with art/dalvik cache wipe is okay.
If coming from older firmware factory reset is most likely necessary with cache and dalvik/art cache wipes but anyhow recommend. If you want you can restore your data with TWRP after installation and reboot. This install compatible busybox. If you install incompatible busybox you may loose acces to TWRP.
After flashing .zip file if you are getting bootloop you have atleast two choises.
- With pc and Flashtool use your firmware original ftf -file and flash it by excluding "FOTAKernel", "Partition" and "System". In other words in "exclude section" tick these and don´t wipe anything. (Credits @AlanDS)
- Or download "bootloop fix" from here: https://mega.nz/#!BUxFxSAR!bPVEEDnsPz962JQ1uA2PKJv9tYLKA47N0fhA80ltEvw
(Credits @niaboc79 and @machao44) and flash it with TWRP
Here is the old 23.1.A.1.28 (Customized NCB) FTF -file link:
For SGP511: https://mega.nz/#!sVIn1IJI!Ywqoksuej83vNkc__nNrBy-im6tfLjWr_mbonMd6PPk
MD5 is: aab7e5728dccb59d44d5ebe38c34c8da
This version of firmware should be rootable. For instructions and download go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-how-to-root-5-0-lollipop-t3212108

Nope. Only difference between devices is memory size and your device regognize correct size even if you use this. Only thing is your device shows as SGP511 but you can chance that in build.prop file if you like.

Er... on my Z2 Tablet with .726 firmware there is no "Ultra Stamina" mode... or am I missing something?
Or is "Ultra Stamina" introduced only with this new firmware version??

Thanks, I just noticed this version was offered as a 21 MB system update on my current ROM (23.1.A.0.690 NCB). But this is much better :good:

You are right. Chancelog is copy/pasted from universal source so there is device specific differencies and because this device is wifi only there is no ultra stamina mode.

For to be safe I recommend to make nandroid backup including kernel, system and data. However if something go wrong system backup with kernel might be enough to bring your device back.
This ain't wipe your internal sd on it's own so it is your choice.

Thanks man, you're always so fast! We should be getting 5.1 next month I read somewhere

Nope. Double tap to wake work fine here.

Factory reset coming from KK, everything working perfectly, including root/SU and double tap to wake.
In case anyone has similar issues, I couldn't download from Mega directly to device (it kept disconnecting at around 10%), had to download using PC and transfer using SD card.
Thanks Kulvertti for all the work you do for our device, it is much appreciated! :good:

This will keep your root. About OTA, maybe with small updates but haven't tested it with latest update.

hey man,
I just spent like 2 hours trying to get CWM installed for castor windy. finally ended up using a combo of ADB "fastboot reboot-bootloader" reboot-boot <lightning-bolt-symbol/fastboot mode/select kernal to flash> and put in an extracted boot.img for CWM (nightly build). i then did "fastboot reboot" and rapidly pressed the volume up button. it worked and im now in CWM. I put your zip on my sd card before, and I navigated to that <apply update/choose from sdcard1/flashablesomeupdatedetailsidontwanttocopy.zip> (strangly I noticed that there were 2 identical "choose from sdcard1" options)
cwm paused for a second, then outputted

First: Thanks to Kulvertti for all his work.
I am still confused. Do I need to root my device on forehand?
What I have understood so far:
You don't have to have root to flash NUT's [TABZ2][TWRP][PhilZ Touch][CWM] XZDualRecovery (It won't bring you root either).
So you can flash this recovery as long as you are on unrooted but rootable stock firmware (e.g. 17.1.2.A.0.314).
Then can flash this pre-rooted stock Lollipop ROM 23.1.A.1.28 and you will have root.
So only 3 steps to go from unrooted stock Lollipop to to this pre-rooted Lollipop?
1) flash rootable firmware (from PC, using flashtool).
2) flash "NUT's" recovery (from PC, using NUT's installer).
3) flash this pre-rooted stock Lollipop ROM (from sdcard1, using TWRP recovery)
Is this correct??

@Siddharth Mahendran You should have a Recovery installed on your phone before flashing a Pre-Rooted firmware...
Use Xperia [Nut]'s Dual recovery installer for Xperia Z1: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=162303ad4b67ec4f7c00159b1de0e18807279c4a
If the Procedure hasn't changed(Becoz its been long since I used it), It should have .bat file or some kind of command line script. Have USB debugging and unknown sources enabled on your device. Connect your phone to ur PC and execute the bat file. It should search for the device and it will install the Dual Recovery.
Then, Copy the pre-rooted firmware that you downloaded from here into your phone. Reboot your phone, while booting the notification LED will light up, and then press Volume Down/Up button, based on the recovery you want. Then, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache using the option like wipe/format based on the recovery you are using. Then, Choose install->search for the Pre-rooted Firmware you copied,select it and Confirm installation. Once Completed, Reboot device.
Remember That, First boot will take a long time, be patient...
Backup all data before, trying anything on XDA!!!!
I am not responsible, if you do anything wrong or something went wrong in the Procedure!!!

Just use the latest Flashtool, it should solve all the problems with the fsc script... To recover your device from softbrick, don't exclude anything, make sure all wipes are checked and you are good to go. hope that helps.

I think the system isn't getting mounted as rw, and since xposed installer writes to system, it is failing to install. Kindly tell me how to mount system as rw since even after deodexing it isn't getting mounted.

This is the zip file that needs to be flashed using Customer Recovery,
There are various post on how you can have custom recovery on your phone,
but make sure which is the exact model of Z1 you have first there are various types in it am using Z1 C6902 varient.
1. i used Kingroot to root my device
2. installed BusyBox
3. Backup DRM Keys using TA Backup tool and fallow the instructions
4. Unlock Bootloader
5. Flash Custom Recovery like TWRP/CWM/Philz.

as i havent found a suitable ftf for my c6902 yet so is flashing this zip different from flashing ftf in flashtool? can i flash it from lineage os 14? thanks

Hard Bricked, No powering on, No charging up, Not detectable in PC
Hi there,
I have hard-bricked my Sony Xperia Z1 C6902. Now I am not able to do anything with the set. I have tried to enter into emergency mode by using Testpoint and s1tool. It is successfully installed the drivers but when I tried flashing the firmware. I am getting an error "A device attached to this system is not functioning".
Does anyone have any idea of how to unbrick the set using testpoint and s1tool?? or any other alternate methods to bring the phone back into life??
Any help is much appreciated.

I need BR
My phone gets bricked everytime I use non-brazilian ftf's, can you please help me finding it?
P.S.: There's a post around, but the file is undownloadable...

I excluded the loader.sin and the *.ta files, they are not necessary.

Hi. Thanks for the flashable ZIP.
I've flashed it, but now I have no root and no recovery...
Is there a way to fix this?
Update: after few tries of updating the SU Binary and phone resets root started to work (still Binary is not up to date - "#" is being displayed over time)
How should I reinstall TWRP 3.0.2? There is no version for D6603...

Hi,
From my experience: No. You have to return to LP and to start over again with rooting etc.
On my personal device (D6603) none of the prerooted ROMs since the first LP variants provided here keeps Root and Recocery. Don't know why... I helped myself always with flashing:
1) ROM
2) SuperSU
3) Recovery
4) xPosed
over again one directly after the other. Of course you will need a rooted ROM with recovery for this, but it's much easier to get with older ROMs.
I think same will be here: Get the ROM, get Wolfbreak's RecRoot. Then flash both from a recovery one after the other, clear cache and Dalvik cache and reboot. That's it...
Cheers

Did you used a dummy file instead of SuperSu.zip? Wolfbreaks RecRoot has SuperSu built in...

I flashed exaclty this rom to my phone and i got root + Recovery.
It should work :/

Please upload it somewhere else where I don't have to wait 6 hours for downloading. And what is the difference between these two parts?
