More than likely it will brick your phone because the GPE Z Ultra has a completely different partition layout than the standard Z Ultra.
Its best just to flash Scrubbers GPE port ROM to your regular Z Ultra because it's an complete port. Your going to have the exact same experience as would if you had a GPE Z Ultra.
Huh?
I think he just wants to flash a gpe rom on his Sony Xperia z ultra in that case make sure you're rooted, bootloader is unlocked and you're on 4.4.4 firmware update

Download the Scrubber Port GPE, full GPE Experience on a non GPE Device, but I like more Cyanogenmod, it is very smooth and fast
Xperia Z Ultra:
Self Made Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM
Cyanogenmod 12 5.0.2
Stock 4.4.4

Nothing will happen. You will only lose Baseband and will have no Cell Signal.
I made that mistake lol. I thought I bought a gpe togari and rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed Candy5 for GPe....I reset the phone and had no Baseband.
In reality I bought a reg togari... Nothing happened just ftf stick and for everything back. Now in on Resurrection ROM. [emoji2]
onto the NEXT one
Now what if I accidentally flash an .ftf of an LTE/GPe official firmware to non-LTE mode, will it brick the device?

BUT DO NOT FLASH GPE FIRMARE ON A NON GPE DEVICE
THAT HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Hi, so the curiosity got the best of me and I rooted my Ultra and flashed PAC MAN Rom, only to find out I acually prefered the stock rom. Noob as I am, I'm not sure now how to proceed in getting it back. I'd like to go back to 14.2.A.1.136 stock rom. How does one go on about that? Is it ok to use flashtool and flash 14.2.A.1.136 "Generic GM" ROM that I found online back in? /I'm in UK, but couldn't find any other european version than GM - Germany/. I'm on Z Ultra C6833, rooted with unlocked boot loader. Thanks for advice!

yep just flash a FTF. Then when that is done flash a kernel with recovery (using flashtool) Jackies one is good, this will allow you to flash SuperSu update from recovery to get root back.

Cool thanks! I've read somewhere that after I unlocked the bootloader there will be no bravia engine not even after flashing the original firmware back again? Is that true? Thanks!

4.4.4

I believe people are busy updating the kernels to support 4.4.4, so just wait a day or two until Doomkernel has been updated.
Hi Guys,
just got c6806. rooted and bootloader unlocked. what are the steps to convert it to gpe? can i just fastboot system/boot/FOTA from DooMLoRD'4.4.4 thread? or must flash a ported rom?
thanks

Just use the ported ROM, a lot safer.
The GPe has a very different partition layout, different bootloader etc so it's not a matter of just flashing the .img files

I have a question related to this topic. Will I be able to run the official Lolipop which was released to day as a FOTA for Xperia Z Ultra GPE through this method?
Or, in other words does this make my 6833 into a stock GPE version update-able to lolipop?

No you will need to wait for the 5.0 port.
Did someone who converted his Z Ultra non-GPe to have a dedicated recovery partition tried to flash the GPe native image yet?
I mean after getting the dedicated recovery partition, ZU and ZU GPe should almost be the same or not?
I'm on Scrubber's GPe port right now, but getting the updates without the need to port them would be great.
Thanks
Sorry OP, but this is not development. Moved to Q&A.
As blueether said, use the ported rom. Despite being the same and looking the same, the Non-GPe and the gpe variants do have differences under the hood.
There are two rules in life for being successful:
1. Never reveal everything you know;
2.
thought i'd ask here instead of adding clutter to that thread.
i'm on 4.4.2 (GPe) at the moment.
would i need to flash a newer FTF first or just flash the boot.img from the rom and then wipe/flash?

Has your phone ever been on the .108 firmware version of stock 4.4.4? If not I would say you would need to flash that FTF.

That FTF should work, it is a carrier release numbered 118 everyone else got 108 but I think thy are about equal.
For the dual recovery newest is 2.8.3 from here.

this might be a Question most Moto E users will have when they want to flash a new ROM.
i want to flash cm14/lineage OS. i want to know that can i directly flash the new ROM using TWRP? will it brick my phone?
i have a rooted Moto E xt1022 with stock ROM 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.

so can i flash my stock 4.4.4 android to fully unroot, and then update to 5.1 lollipop with the OTA, and then root and directly flash the lineage rom? i heard that one needs to update to lollipop to update one's bootloader...
that would be the correct and safe process right?

Well for starters and device specific https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/warning-downgrading-information-moto-e-t3062859

Do you mean we can't downgrade the ROMs, 7.1 to 5.0 directly, so do we have to go 7.1 to 7.0 to 6.0 and then 5.1 and then 5.0?
No we can downgrade directly. But be careful, we shouldn't go to 4.4.2 we can go to lollipop or 4.4.4. I have tried it myself and went back to lineage too
