Xperia Z Ultra GPE 5.0 update
My first install of the OTA update resulted in an error, so I did some research and found out that my phone can't be rooted. So after unrooting through superuser and doing a factory reset, i finally received the OTA update again today, yet i still get the same error. The phone will reboot to install the update and the status bar will stop and the screen will show the android on his back and say error, then i have to force shutdown to boot my phone back up.
So I started out with a Galaxy S4. Which was easy to do anything and everything with a simple Google (GOOGLE FAHTAGAN!!!!) search. Now I have a Sony Z Ultra GPE, and I love it, but doing things is exceedingly more difficult due to its relative obscurity. Also, I am a truck driver. I work at night hauling 2 28" trailers for FedEx, so I am a dabbler not an expert by any means. My one great skill is I can follow directions! So, the groundwork having been laid:
Is there a step by step thread someplace on how I can gain root access? I have Android Lollipop 5.0 on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra GPE. I just want to fix the sdcard thingy and make the Archer Pirate Virus my loading animation. :fingers-crossed::good:

If you are on 5 already and haven't rooted and backed up the TA partition on 4.4.4 the you are buggered if you want to keep a working camera
So, yes I had rooted 4.4.4. I unrooted, backed up my TA partition, the used ADB to sideload stock 5.0. So now my question is how do I reroot? So far I've used Geohot's towelroot. So what do I do now?

Unlock the bootloader if it is locked (you didn't have to restore the TA/lock the bootloader to OTA to 5.0)
then either
Hotboot DooMLoRD's V2 kernel [fastboot boot <path_to_boot.img>]
Boot into temp recovery
Flash superSU from recovery
or
Fastboot DooMLoRD's rooted system/boot/etc .img in the dev section (I've not tested this)
[fastboot flash <partition_name> <partition.img>]
I hope that makes sense
5.1
maybe in this post?

OK, here are a few thoughts that can help you....
1. Are you aware of Knox? If yes, then good. Because installing custom recovery on your device will trip the Knox security fuse on your shiny new phone. If no, please read the thread entitled something along the lines of "survey for those who tripped Knox," and the thread devoted to rooting and not tripping Knox.
2. What is your software version? Please show your about phone screen (settings, general, about device). If you're not on the latest firmware, we'll get you there.
3. Your general trajectory of things once on the latest firmware version NC5 and you're OK with tripping Knox, which your question implies, should be...
-->Install recovery (TWRP or PhilZ CWM), latest versions can be found in the original development forum and Android development forum, respectively. Both are outstanding, none is best, neither is cross-compatible. Pick your poison.
-->Install a pre-rooted rom or just root your phone.
-->Have a blast
In closing, I highly recommend choosing a TouchWiz based rom before you flash any AOSP based variant, mostly because these will give you the closest to familiar feel without losing features.
There is no best except that which you like most.
Please report back with the info requested herein and we can block and tackle this, with the incredible resources hewn and stored here on xda.
No reason to depart from these fine forums to do that which is rightly done and freely available only here.

I would suggest as micmars has said you do a little reading on KNOX first. Then to get your feet wet, if you decide to go ahead and root your device. I would go with rooting the stock rom in your phone first, then add a custom recovery ( TWRP or PHILZ CWM ) . I run PHILZ CWM works great and its easy to use. Now once its rooted you can disable KNOX and remove the extra apps that you are not using that clog up the operating system ( OS ) of you device. This is called BLOATWARE go to this XDA site to get lists of safe to remove apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 . Once you have done that now make a backup of your slimmed down De-Bloated OS. Now your ready to go and start installing custom roms, and if doesn't work out you can always recover your backup and get back to square one. Then try a another rom till you find one you like !!! :fingers-crossed:

OK so is it not recommended to use the all in one than and what is the latest version on these devices. Are there the same recurring issues with these as the n2 where once you update to the latest version bootloader you can't go back I.e. on n2 you couldn't downgrade to mk4 once you booted into the ne2 bootloader

thank you...
this is better than 10b im assuming?? was originally on 10b but didnt want to go to 11c because didnt want to get stuck and not to be able to roll back in case i didnt like it.,.. im on liquid smooth had a nandroid backup but wheni formatted my internal i accidentaly erased my nandroid backup couldnt get into download mode to use kdz/tot im hoping this rom or the 10b rom will let me use twrp to go back to stock because the 4k recording doesnt work that good with liquid smooth.. Thank you for all your work you hopefully save me alot of headaches from deleting my nandroid backup..
Other than the deodex, what's different between rooting on a 10b build and taking the OTA? Assuming you've rooted such that it carries over ... which it seems is possible.

1: no unlocking required if you use the locked bootloader variant. Sometimes Sony repair centers can throw a fit when they discover root on their phones, but usually it means they just reflash (and wipe!) your mobile and see if that fixes the issues. If it doesn't they will most likely fix the issues but charge you a examination fee for the need to flash and wipe your mobile. That's how I understand it but can vary across various regions.
2: OTA updates fail most of the time, but you can probably find recovery flashable update packages or you can create your own..
I do not understand the sense of the dual-recovery. I think one is enough

Here's the output of command screen.
hope for the solutions....
You can use TWRP on your Z3tc full screen.
for ex.
go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584
1.Download TWRP theme for 1200x1920 of your choice and rename it to "ui.zip".
2.On SD card (if device has internal and external storage, use the internal) open TWRP folder and create a folder called "theme", without capital letters.
3.Copy ui.zip to theme folder.
4.Restart to recovery.
TWRP opening is wrong, but after can use full screen!
Hi,
will this recovery work with cm12?
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact LTE mit Tapatalk
Just wanted to ask if this will work on SGP 612 soon, or if it may work and is just untested.
Back-light
Thank you Nut
I updated to XZDR 2.8.2.
But, can not control Back-light brightness on TWRP.
Is there a working TWRP for the z3tc with cm12.1?
SGP612
I installed it on mine and it booted into it first time. However, it took me a couple of tries to get back to the tablet itself, I have not yet managed to get it to go back into TWRP - the green light is on for a split second - perhaps I am just missing it or perhaps it will need to be installed again...
Hello! I have a SGP611 and I installed XZDualRecovery on it. Everything works fine except one thing. When I try to flash the official CM 12.1 made for my device, scorpion windy, it says that I actually have a scorpion device and that I need a ROM for that device. I am pretty sure that my device is scorpion windy so that means that I installed XZDualRecovery made for scorpion. Is there a variant of XZDualRecovery made for windy? or can I install a scorpion ROM on scorpion windy without issue?
Thank you for your time!

You are right about the kernel. Now I see that it is actually made for an older firmware. Is there any way to return to lollipop stock kernel without loosing the ROM that I have now (CM 12.1 nightly)? Or does installing a custom ROM bring a new kernel by itself?
Also where should I post my problem with the recovery so that it has higher chances to reach the dev? XZDualRecovery has a ton of threads.

Years ago I had a Tablet Z from Sony. I sold it right away, as I couldn't find any mods for it. It was like Fort Knox - locked down.
It was time when I wanted to cook roms, flash, make mods, root etc.... I got Nexus 7.
But recently, I'm not into modding anymore, and buying Z3 Compact Tablet was a way to prevent myself from flashing - I was aware there is no modding community around Sony Tablets(..almost none). It's enough for me I have root, and recovery. But as I was a flashoholic, this tablet is perfect to keep away from the addiction
So, why I'm saying this? Change the device if you want to get full taste of modding., cm, custom kernels and so on..
Stay with Sony if you wanna stay stock.

To the one thay asked about putting Lollipop on the Metro s5 You Can definitely flash the Lollipop tar on a metro s5 But that will make your firmware completely Tmobile based.

I recently flashed this yesterday with odin. Everything is working great, love it. only issue I have been experiencing isnt really much of an issue but rather just annoying. For some reason I am unable to change any text notification sounds. No matter what I do it is stuck on the whistle notification. Ive even booted back into recovery and tried to wipe cache again and that doesnt seem to work either. I already performed a factory reset in recovery before first boot. So idk. anyone know what the issue could be?

If you are on non lollipop version, better wipe appslog, cache & data. And, its a stock rom. So, whatever sony added/removed will stay untouched. Bootloader will be remain locked. And yes, Xreality works.

but I'm running .28 already but when I try to add recovery mode from TWRP I always get the error telling me only PIE is supported (I am beyond new to this, just started researching last night and started working today). I follow the guide exactly as it told me to but I still can't get the recovery to work.
I have an Xperia Z2 running LP 5.0.2 with AT&T as my carrier.

Download recovery installer from here. And install it manually.

z2 17.1.2.A.0.314 4.4.2 with root and recovery
excuse me for my bad english.
Anyone have any problems with their facebook contact pics in the contacts app being blurry? Got it only after I upgrading and resetting my phone to this firmware.
any idea about my questions?
Why not just upgrade using PC companion? Your data will not be lost too, but you can back up just in case. After which, you can follow the thread here to root .28 firmware.

Battery is charging slowly
Hi i used this Rom over the .314 4.4.2 Kitkat without wiping the data - only dalvik cache, everything is normal exept the high usage of Android OS draining the battery (im using v 27 of Facebook app - without messanger and viber 5.2.1 - tha last version not showing the names of the contacts you dont have in contacts list). And When i plug the AC charger (im using the original cable and charger) - when i use something heavy - it shows that the battery is draining faster than it charges. Is there any fix or patch for this?
Thanks in advance
