You have to downgrade to an earlier version of Android before trying to root...
The best will be an old one like 17.1.2.A.0.314, simply installed using http://www.flashtool.net
Thanks!!!!! everything is working ok! although I don't know what are the changes!!
Hey I'm currently on android 5.0.2 23.1A.0.690 rooted stock firmware with dual recovery, if I do a wipe on twrp and then install this rom, do I have to install dual recovery again?
And do this rom work with xposed 5.1 port or not?
Sorry if I ask bit of noobish questions but I haven't followed things so closely lately so I have kinda fallen out of the loop.

DualRecovery is included in this flashable firmware.
Does someone know a soundmod for this configuration. ..i mean....when you flashed this zip? The soundlevel is really poor on the z2 in general. Its not loud at all.
Thnx in advance

I haven't flashed this yet but doesn't viper4android work with this?
At least with 4.4.2 (galaxy s5) 5.0.2 (xperia z2 tablet lte) viper has given me almost the same experience as my old gt-i9300 galaxy s3 3g with boeffla kernel give.
Viper let's you boost volumes without too much distortion and it works with speakers or headphones.
I'm not sure if viper works with 5.1 yet, if not then sorry as I'm still on 4.4.2 and 5.0.2 I haven't really looked if it works with 5.1 yet.
Edit: it seems that at least for 5.1 aosp roms are supported so at least you could give viper4android a try.

HELP !!!!!
i wanted to update my tablet and wanted to update it with this prerooted rom ( i tried viper4android in my earlier post on "old" ROM).
So i went into (dual) recovery....philz.
i cleared cache,dalvik and (media)data.
wanted to flash the zip from this thread.....but downloaded it onto sdcard......so that was gone due to the data format. I donloaded it again on external sd card.
Now it comes:
i wanted to reboot the device again into recovery........but it didnt react at all after the format...so i used a hard reset (pin on red square next to sim)
Now when i power it on...it only gets to SONY logo.........there is no vibration to get into recovery !!! The device doesnt even show the charge logo when connected to usb/charger...and the PC doesnt recognize the device (off course...because it doenst boot at all!!!).
What have i done and what can i do about it ????

Can you save your device by flasing new firmware using flashtool application.
https://youtu.be/ctqKNAzrKpQ
This is different sony xperia device BUT core principal stays the same, after you have installed stock firmware to it you can just install custom recovery again and try this firmware again

Do you have a link with correct drivers....because i dont seem to have the correct ones when i put the device in flash mode. I would very much appreciate it.
UPDATE
I got it working again!!!!
Did it with flashtool indeed. Had to flash kitkat ftf in order to get root and flash dual recovery.
Thnx for the tip mate
amazing job yet again @Bird40, ROM works flawlessly.
Your work here is greatly appreciated!
Anybody tried a "dirty" flash yet? (saving Data/media)
Edit: dirty flashed wiping cache and dalvic. Seems to be OK but need to reinstall a couple apps like viper4android.
Please I want a copy ftf

I was able to install 5.0.2 using flashtool, but because I can't get into recovery, I can't flash this prerooted zip file.
I'm a bit of a noob in regards to Sony devices, but is it possible to flash this file using flashtool..?

Simple answer....no
The recoveries were really only working properly on 4.4.4, and that was only if you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a dual recovery+boot.img. For some reason, flashing a recovery to the normal "recovery" partition, even though successfully flashed, wouldn't allow access to it. Only the "FotaKernel" flashing (dual recovery) was working somewhat.
Theoretically, under 4.4.4, you could get to recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img", but it was ify-ify if the recovery would show on the display. I had to do it numerous times.
Once you've upgraded to 5.0.2, the only option is
a. Wait for a dev to make a compatible recovery (probably fotakernel type, or one that can be booted using "fastboot boot recovery.img"
b. Wait for somebody to create a modified boot.img which will allow adb push (to push superSu using up to date binary). I can do this, but right now am busy at work, and won't get around to doing it until sometime this weekend.
Either way, I suspect it's going to require an unlocked bootloader. But I wouldn't reccommend that until you learn the disadvantages and back up your DRM keys.
You could probably roll back a couple versions to an earlier OS (ftf flashing) and try with what recoveries we have now.
I'm still on 4.4.4 (unlocked bootloader and backed up DRM keys, not that you really need them for most folks), so will be working on it this weekend.
Thank you for the elaborated answer! I have unlocked my bootloader, and was rooted on 4.4.2 but was unsuccessful in rooting 4.4.4.
I will wait until a modified recovery is released and hopefully be able to root then. Thanks again for the explanation.

Click to collapse
So frustrating.. No matter what I do, I can't get into the recovery..
Required:
- Flashtool in the latest version from: http://flashtool.net
- DualRecovery by NUT as installer.zip: http://nut.xperia-files.com (Download the correct one for your device and at least version 2.8.7+!)
- Root on 23.0.F.1.74 (Download) for example with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598
Featurelist:
- SuperSU integrated
- DualRecovery by NUT integrated (2.8.7)
Can be used on locked and unlocked bootloader.
Firmware File:
- D6633_23.1.1.E.0.1_Customized-MEA.flashable.zip
The Flashable.zip i've created with the mighty tool PRFCreator by zxz0O0.
Installation/Update (short) guide:
0. Downgrade to the firmware 23.0.F.1.74 and root it (with giefroot)
0.1. Install the LockedDualRecovery by NUT with the installer.zip (install.bat)
1. Put the downloaded update file (ROM.zip) on your device. I recommend you to put it directly on the device.
2. Boot into the recovery (While rebooting -> when the info LED flashs -> press shortly the VOL button for the Recovery you prefer)
(On Recovery you may create a twrp/cwm backup of your device if you get any issues on updating process!)
3. Flash the ROM update file (.zip) with "install zip".
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (perhaps under advanced).
5. Reboot to system.
You may have to wait some minutes on the first boot because of initializing system for first time (optimizing apps etc.).
Special Thanks to:
[NUT] (DualRecovery and his efforts!)
zxz0O0 (giefroot rooting tool, PRFCreator and his efforts!)

Thank you @waleedsq81 for providing this firmware!
But please advice me.... I'm already on rooted 23.0.F.1.74 with LOCKED bootloader :good: and I want to flash the 5.0.2 lollipop firmware you're providing or a supposedly 'prerooted' russian customized version I downloaded yesterday, but my question is that if I had to upgrade to .96 kitkat firmware prior to flash this one or can I flash it directly from the .74 one?? ............ and secondly: do you know if by installing your firmware (or the russian one) will the flashing operation open or unlock the bootleader inadvertently?? (I don't want to, of course).
Thank you in advance, cheers :fingers-crossed:

yes you can flash it directly from the .74

Booting into recovery using NDR Utils is fine though.

Nothing happens even if I repeat the process and press volume up instead of volume down button.
What seems the problem ?

Thank you very much @waleedsq81 you're the man!.... and I can safely confirm to all: if anyone is already on rooted kitkat .74 firmware, you can simply and straight go ahead and flash via recovery this pre-rooted MEA firmware... root is maintained as well as the bootloader locked in this latest lollipop build, just follow to the letter the given instructions.
Is it possible to upgrade from .96 to save the time going back to .74? I am already rooted just need to add recovery.

Great firmware update and working nicely. I didn't do a clean wipe, just cleaned the cach and dalvik. I have been using it regularly and no problems. Camera is working, but I haven't tested other camera functions. All in all this is great.

You can install TWRP with ODIN and TWRP will ask you to install SuperSu
After reboot Supersu will update its binary. And you'll have root.

As you already said. Fist of all you need root permission on your device. But because you already installed 5.1.1 via OTA I'm afraid your device is "locked down". If KingRoot isn't able to root 5.1.1, then there is no easy way to get root on your device. In this case you have to downgrade first via Flashtool. Or you could unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel which has twrp integrated. But keep in mind that you will loose your drm keys this way.
BTW: I wouldn't use KingRoot even if it is able to root your device, because I don't trust this app....
Thnx mate for your reply
OK I will downgrade my tablet to 5.0.2
But I need you plz to point where I get my previous Android
And if I flashed it with flashtool all my data will be gone?!
Then I will root my tablet again then flashed this stock in this thread, am I right?!
And btw, why you didn't trust kingroot app, it's working with my tablet just fine! ?

Try this FTF:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...ny-xperia-tablet-z.457524/page-3#post-7918151
After that, use XZDR (TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Use Option 3 from Installer, which will use an root-exploit, that is still available in .230 Firmware.
In newer Firmwares this option isn't working anymore and you need to root by your own first.
And finally flash this PreRooted Image via TWRP or CWM

And if I flashed it with flashtool all my data will be gone?!

Depends on which Options you use to flash. If you exclude Data-Partition, then Data will be still there. But booting KitKat-Firmware with Lollipop-Data will not work or at least will screw up everything. So in the end you would need to wipe data anyway. (Be aware that flashing FTF including Data-Partition will also wipe internal storage / internal sdcard)

And btw, why you didn't trust kingroot app, it's working with my tablet just fine!

Well, there are mainly two things:
1. It needs a internet connection for rooting (who knows which data is send to them ...)
2. It isn't always providing a full working root, which is not very nice for devolpers and users, because their apps/packages maybe don't work properly...
Thank you Mcbane87
Well,I already downgraded my TabZ SGP321 and flashed kitkat 4.4.4 with build number 10.5.1.A.0.283 via flashtool like you said, even I got many failed steps at the beginning but I did it
Then I rooted my tablet using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/development/root-sp321-ftf-10-5-1-0-283-t2873377
So what to do next?! and I had another couple of questions please:
1- I am from Egypt so when looked into this firmware I didn't find Arabic language, is that Normal and how I get Arabic language
2- why I feel that kitkat is much better than lollipop and much easier and battery life is much better while I am playing my game with charger connected still battery going low slowly ?
Note: I am using root only to use Xmod for playing Clash Of Clans :laugh:!
I flashed it, seemed all ok, but:
no root, no recovery? no SuperSu in my Apps, I failed to enter recovery. What did I do wrong? what to do now?

you must reflash a rooted Firm(like 230) with flashtool.
Starting enable debuging and install nuts recovery 2.870 with option 1.
Then reboot and hold volume down when the green light on and you are only in TRWP mode.
Flash the 5.1 from sd1 and all was good.

It's faster to flash .230 .ftf stock unrooted, install recovery with option 3 and after that flash what you need from TWRP.
Well it's an easy, I flashed this stock via twrp and I used root checker to be sure that's my tab is rooted but I didn't find supersu!
Is this normal or i did something wrong?!!!

if SuperSu is incorporated into a ROM, it can sometimes be hidden in Developer Options. Failing that, just install it from the Play Store.
Yes i downloaded it form Google play and all set, thanks bro
xposed framework
Mr.ironhide said:
Sry bro um not that expert in this,
Can you please brief me what is this xposed firmware and what its relation with rootting my tablet
And plz how to install it in my tablet
Sry again :crying:

In short xposed framework is just an addition to the in-built framework of your ROM. It helps you to customize your ROM for personalization and adding extra features to your device. Try googling xposed framework and keep working on it to get deeper knowledge about its modules and stuff.
But, make sure you know how to recover your device from bootloop and softbrick before installing the xposed framework. :good:

I wrote that already. Install XZDR then install this ROM.
But looks like you already managed it yourself
Mr.ironhide said:

Could be possible, because this is ROM was created from Sony for Germany. Maybe they didn't integrated Arabic language and letters.

Didn't made that much comparison with TabZ, but on my Z1c I can confirm that some things are better with KitKat like bluetooth (only 5.02...didn't testet 5.1.1 till now) and other things like touchscreen response (phantom touching) is better in lollipop. Concerning batterylife I didn't saw any difference.
Well and the design / functions of lollipop are a question of personal liking. I personally hate the new LockScreen and its notification behaviour.
I would be happy finding a xposed module which would bring back old lockscreen on Lollipop, but I'm afraid this isn't that easy....
Well, I am big fan of Sony, I got Sony Xperia Z and I love lollipop in it and btw I have installed stock firmware prerooted as well
But frankly I am preferring kitkat in my tablet it's looks much better and easier
Anyway thank you for your helping bro

Did you try Gravity Box LP and Serajr Xperia™ Xposed (LP)? They will definitely help to change the look of Sony LP. Work good on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1
Hi
SM-G900F
Sorry but im still a bit of a noob with phones so bare with me.
I use to be with EE network but have now had my phone unlocked and using on another network. I have also rooted my S5 so can not update via settings and software update as get error "the OS on your system has been modified"
I know i can put a custom rom on but just out of interest, can i stick on any stock network rom onto my S5 as i see that Vodafone are the first to have released marshmallow update for there sold S5.
Have hooked my phone up to laptop and ran Samsung kies 3 and it says i have the latest update even though im still on lollypop.
Do i have to unroot my phone before i can get marshmallow update?
Cheers

No, ODIN doesn't wipe the phone, it just upgrades it, it will remove anything custom like root or recovery though

Yep, but use TWRP 3.0.0.0 recovery with ODIN instead (Much more powerful too)
Then flash SuperSU 2.71 beta from TWRP

Thanks for the advise.
I managed to find some time to have a play and have successfully upgraded to Marshmallow :good:
Next step installing TWRP as you recommended, can you point me in the right direct where to download the correct version of TWRP for my S5 as only seem to be finding S4 version or for kitkat?
Also do i need to make sure its rooted before i do this?
Cheers for all your help so far

Nice job, I get my TWRP from here
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
.tar version and flash with ODIN
3.0.0.0 seems to be the last stable version atm, not sure if the newer ones are bug free yet
That root you used might cause problems, the 2.71 beta systemless is the one for MM ROMs atm, the others either don't work fully or overheat the phone with constant high CPU usage
If you have problems, flash this one from TWRP
