(Q) Android is upgrading problem

Whatever i reboot my phone, it will stuck in bootlogo and boot again...a way to reboot normally is to wipe dalvic cache and cache...but by doing that, it will always do a Android is Upgrading and will load about 5 to 10 minutes until it's finished...so it's a long time to wait for me to use my phone for every reboot...
I constantly changing my Sim card, so a reboot is necessary....this problem never occur to me before...i have flashes new rom evertime but the problem still persis....but i always dirty flashes every one of them...i also do a restore system and kernel image but not data..but still the same....i have to many apps and setting to do a clean flash...is their any other way beside that.
I'm in Xperia Z Ultra, Custom stock rom Lollipop 5.0.2 .242....
Any replies is appreciated....thanks[emoji4]

If this is not appropriate place to post, please mod to place it in a right one...

I found this when searching for a fix...
After gapps is flashed into my Galaxy S4, I kept getting "Android is Upgrading" on every reboot.Following steps had helped me to get rid of it.*
Open */system/framework*folder with Root Explorer*delete*com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar and*com.google.widevine.software.drm.odes delete*com.google.widevine.software.drm.xml*in*system/etc/permissions Now , reboot your device.
Will their be consequences when deleting these files...

Yes...but i always use it before but no problem....it only occur now...
And the custom rom is pre-installed with xposed...you think maybe some of the mod is the culprit or the whole xposed is at fault...

If you upgraded from 4.4 KitKat to 5.0 Lollipop you should update Xposed. Flash the newest Xposed, which fix bootloop problems and write if this was helpful.

If you were making your flashable prerooted .zip, you should use xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Or, if you can, write how did you make your .zip or how did you upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop.

Thanks for the advise on clean install...
I did however manage to solve the problem when flash the latest xposed alpha 4...so the culprit is xposed all along...but the funny thing is, its seems superuser mod is unable to stick in my rom...some of the quick setting, and themes is stock even though i have used a mod themes....

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! ?

I'm using Official Xposed for LP v.74 and it's working good on 5.1.1.

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

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)

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

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

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

Oreo ROM - root

Hey guys
Soon I'm planning to upgrade my nougat to the beta build which you can find here. Does anyone have a good method to root the system afterwards? I'll try simply flashing SuperSU zip, but I doubt it will work, because it didn't even work on the older 7.1 OS.
Any suggestions or good advice with the upgrade & root process?
Thanks

If you use the TWRP backup that has magisk pre-installed you just need to install magisk manager and reflash magisk and you're good to go.

You don't need to install custom recovery to update magisk. Read OperKirin page, there's a manual, how to install magisk.
I don't think exposed would work on omnirom. twrp installs, but there's no point having it.
