This post shows you how to upgrade your system to lollipop 5.1.1 and optionally have root privileges. This is tested on C6833 model. For other models see the troubleshooting section near the end of the post.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.18.6. or 0.9.19.6 or higher Important: Do not use Flashtool 0.9.19.0.
If you want to root the phone: Rooted XZU on Android version 5.0.2 or Kitkat with custom recovery installed.
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.
Download link for upgrade only:
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf (unmodified Customized DE):
https://mega.nz/#!khF1nILD!C5D70e-BjCKVBCuOurjFOLcIMZDcldYVeIDnFiR-PGM
Download link for upgrade and root:
5.1.1-system.zip:
https://mega.nz/#!YoFgCSjA!Zh8t_4jeXcAEWhOYePA40uQLI7vw4-CnxohjBdMbpz0
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf
https://mega.nz/#!l4dllSTT!R393EG4W3CwOZp1OLOzfUzpHF0IlvsmfW04BrGOggXc
Instructions for upgrading without root:
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf
3- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
4- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
5- Reboot.
Instructions for upgrading with root:
0- If your existing system is rooted using Kingroot read the troubleshooting section below before continuing.
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and 5.1.1_system.zip.
3- Copy 5.1.1-system.zip to your phone's internal SDcard.
4- Reboot to recovery and install 5.1.1-system.zip.
5- If you are coming from Kitkat just Turn the phone off. If you are coming from 5.0.2, reboot the phone and let it work through the boot animation which will take a while. Then it will show force closing messages and possibly reboots itself. At this point turn it off by holding down the power and volume-up keys for a few seconds. The phone will vibrate 3 times and turns off.
6- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
8- Reboot.
Troubleshooting, etc.
This procedure works only if you follow every step carefully. When you are done you can easily test your root status in a terminal emulator or via adb. Please see the attached image.
If you have used Kingroot to root your existing system flashing this ROM may not work and it may leave your system with a partially updated file system that may be broken. The reason is that Kingroot (which in my opinion is malware) makes some of your system files immutable which means they cannot be removed during a software upgrade. To proceed, you should either find a way to replace this horrendous piece of code with SuperSU or downgrade to Kitkat and root with XZDualRecovery before trying this guide. Read the second part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62936808&postcount=22.
If during the procedure for root the flashing of the ftf in step 7 fails, repeat step 7 with C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf or any other 14.6.A.0.368 ftf but exclude the system partition in the flashtool dialog window. If you don't exclude the system partition you will not get root.
If you have root after the procedure but something else doesn't work, try a factory reset.
Note that flashtool 0.9.19.0 was specifically released to support the new sin format on new devices and some of its features don't work with older devices. So to avoid taking any chances I used version 18.
I don't know if this works for C6802 or C6806. Some users reported success on 6806, like this one and this. For that model you follow this guide and use the zip file posted here. The only difference is that instead of flashing the ftf posted here in the next step, use the stock 14.6.A.0.368 ftf for your phone and exclude system.
Will this C6833 FTF work on a C6806 USA phone?, because I can't find a C6806 FTF anywhere...
Can this system zip be used with other customized versions of c6833 ftf.

You probably didn't exclude the system partition in this step:
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_Customized+DE_14.6.A.0.368.ftf.*Exclude system partition*and flash this ftf.
Out of curiosity, what is wrong with the latest flashtool?

Customized DE just means it is the German version of the ROM. I used that because I bought the phone in Germany. But the menus and keyboard and everything is in English so you would not even notice the difference.
This method will not touch your bootloader status so if you are locked you remain locked.
If you are already on 5.1.1 through OTA this will not work for you. You need to start from rooted 5.0.2 with recovery installed.

I think you can still do it straight from kitkat but if you are following the instructions with root in step 5 instead of rebooting just turn the phone off.
Let me know if that works.
so my ZU used to be rooted with Lollipop 5.0.2, but i removed Kinguser/chinese root app and no longer have root access. I've also previously installed recovery but don't know if it will still work ? i forgot how to boot into recovery to see if it even works.. any helpers?
Power on the phone and when u see the led notification start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times to make your phone boot into recovery mode

I am not able to instal 5.1.1-system.zip on rooted Sony Xperia Z Ultra c6833 with Android 5.0.2. The instalation is aborted
Had 5.1.1 lollipop installed, downgraded to 4.4.4 kitkat and rooted with kingroot successfully- installed xzu dual recovery and rebooted into recovery mode.
Flashed 5.1.1 zip and turned off. Flashed 5.1.1 Saudi Arabia ftf with flashtool (wipe everything - ticking to exclude system partition) with phone off and connected z ultra in flash mode and flashed successfully. Disconnected and booted.. took a while on wave animation and started fresh but no supersu and not rooted in 5.1.1?? any help thanks
I know that some people are having some issues working with the flash tool and downgrading their firmware to get root. There IS an easier way. The way I rooted the last time was to:
1) download one of the prerooted flashables (I chose one of the lollipop ones) and put it on my SD card,
2) use Kingroot on the .44 firmware to get temp root
3) install the dual recovery.
4) Once dual recovery installed and booted to TWRP for the first time I did a wipe (may not be necessary) and flashed the pre-rooted .zip
5) wiped cache/dalvik (again, maybe not necessary) and rebooted to rooted lollipop with supersu.
6) If kinguser is still installed (I don't believe it was for me) just uninstall it.
Do you know why after I am flashing pre-rooted.zip files, my phone stuck at Verzion boot logo forever
Can you please help?

How long is "forever"? It's been noted that it can be at the VZ screen for 15 or so minutes.
If ever in doubt, go back into TWRP, wipe everything but your internal/external storage and flash again. If that doesn't work, your prerooted .zip is likely funked up.
it won't bootup for the whole night
I fresh downloaded the same version and it still not work
Anything else I could try?

How to install dual recovery? Anyone has a step by step guide?
Finally Kingroot worked and I'm rooted with recovery on lollipop.
I spent the day trying all the other instructions and finally looked at this thread. Got it and rooted with 5.02 installed and dual recovery. Yahoo!. I first installed 5.02 without root and was having some trouble with intermittent smartwear connectivity. Once I decided to downgrade to kitkat and root I also thought it was best to wipe the phone and am glad I did this time although reinstalling and configuring the phone will take some time. It solved my Bluetooth connection problem. Thanks for recommending kingroot. This is much easier imo. These are the procedures I used:
Using Windows 10 x64
Notes:
A: I was content with non-root 5.02 but Bluetooth connectivity was acting up with my Sony Smartband Talk.
B: Driver signing seems to be an issue with Windows 7 and 8.1 from other’s comments but not on Windows 10.
C: These procedures are for getting back to 4.4.4 from a non-rooted 5.02 phone so that root can be obtained. For just obtaining root on 4.4.4 and then upgrading to rooted 5.02, skip the first two steps.
Files and procedures:
1. Installed Flashtool 09.18.6 from here https://userscloud.com/kb6tr3bcuecr
2. From non-rooted 5.02, I used this version of Flashtool to pull the KitKat 4.4.4 version and installed to phone wiping cache, data and app settings
3. Files to install on SD card:
a. Prerooted lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/...ment/5-0-2-sony-xperia-z3v-prerooted-t3214182
b. Dual Recovery TWRP: Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip from: http://nut.xperia-files.com/
c. SuperUser from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
4. Install Java SE Development Kit 8u65 Windows x64 to system from here | http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
5. Install Windows version of Kingroot from here to obtain temporary root on 4.4.4 | http://www.kingroot.net/
6. Install Dual Recovery TWRP v: Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Note: This version you run from Windows to obtain the first recovery after successull Kingroot and is why I installed the Java SE kit
7. Reboot phone and it comes up in recovery
8. Wipe Dalvik and Cache
9. Use the Install function in TWRP to install the Super User and Dual Recovery zip files and then the Pre-rooted lollipop. Reboot
10. Done. Old/New rooted phone. F$ck Verizon
11. Delete the flash files from SD card included in step 3 above.

Just wanted to make sure. Are you flashing the zip from the internal memory or an SD card? Whichever way you are doing it try the opposite. Move it from your PC to the internal/external and flash it. It seems as if that zip is corrupted somehow. I just don't know why.

Confused
Somebody say root 4.4.4 which I know it is already working
And you say 5.0.2, we can gain root without flash pre-rooted ROM

I don't know how you gain root without going back to 4.4.4 first unless I've missed something. That would have saved me a big headache.
Hey guys after my initial failure at trying to upgrade to 575 at the weekend, I didn't realize 575 was a MM upgrade so that was partly the problem the rest was the wrong SU and recovery in my PRF flash file.
Problem I have now is i've read that many forum posts im not 100% sure what files and steps I need to take , every 575 flash instructions Ive read seem to have slightly different ways of doing it.
Im coming from 23.4.A.1.264 (LL) What i need help is to clarify exactly what i need to make a successful prf upgrade.
Im assuming Recroot is one in the recovery section of PRF?
So called dummy file in SU section of PRF?
What about bootloop.zip and RIC.zip I hear about , are they required as well?
I know xposed needs to be uninstalled as well.
LOCKED bootloader
Thx for any help/links or clarification on steps you can provide.
edit:- Sorry mods this is in wrong section, wasnt paying attention , Sorry could someone move to QA section ? thx

...went through this two days ago:
(from this post, that helped me):
prerequisities: 5.1.1 stock, rooted, with NUT Dual recovery
put all ZIPs to your MicroSD card and flash in this order.
0: do you currently have xposed? If yes, get the xposed uninstaller (google it, easy to find) and flash uninstaller first.
0. Factory reset from within current recovery (Dalvik, data, cache...)
1. flashablemm.zip
2. byeselinux.zip
3. ricdefeat.zip
4. bootloopfix.zip (FOR .575, important to get this version)
5. xposed installer.zip
6. reboot
7. INSTALL BUSYBOX (get app in PlayStore and use it to install it)
8. enable unknown sources and usb debugging
9. then connect your phone to the PC and run the install.bat from the Z2_MM_Recovery folder (Accept any prompt popping up on your phone)
5. Phone will reboot into recovery when successfull, then you're done
ZIP files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/z2-pre-rooted-twrp-3-0-0-2-xposed-t3390498
RECOVERY INSTALL: from here https://mega.nz/#!UlxGBQaD!HObJIHr9vq4VDRNI97Ni1cIiAn6iVxwE4qlPa89CGbY - Remember: only install the recovery from this file, everything else from the thread above.
NOTE: I had big problems when flashing TWRP 3.0.x IMG file from this thread. Instead get the recovery downloaded in this ZIP and install it form your PC, as described in the steps above.
One more note: I've waited for about 15minutes after finishing the flashing proces (step6). I had the startup animation going on, normally it should take maybe 5-10minutes. I got fed up after nothing was happening and restarted the phone - press the red button beside SIM flap and than power on the phone. After that it started normally.
thx i'll look into this

So, my end goal is to have Resurrection remix marshmallow running on my D6503 Z2. I guess I made the mistake of updating the phone to the stock Marshmallow ROM from sony so I can not find a way to root the phone. So is there a step by step guide on how I could possibly root and add a recovery tool?

Have you got an unlocked bootloader?
If so, flash a custom kernel with a recovery and install your chosen rom?
If you have a locked bootloader you can't run a custom rom, like resurrection remix.

I do not have a unlocked bootloader but the issue is all the tutorials assume you have the lolipop version of android on the Z2 running with root. If I can't find out how to root on 6.0.1 on the Z2 then its kinda pointless..
To root mm, downgrade to lollipop or kitkat and follow a guide. If you don't want to downgrade, unlock you bootloader.
They are your options. This had been asked. This has been answered. Use the search.

All you have to do is downgrade to 23.1.A.1.28 using flash tool, there are many threads on how to use it, have a search!
And use this thread which can be found
Here that will allow you to root your phone!
After that install XZDualrecovery,backup your ROM and flash resurrection remix!

IS your bootloader unlocked?
Hey guys!
I have created a TWRP flashable zip of latest Stock MM Rom for G4c.
ONLY FOR H525N
FIX FOR c90n -> c90
Requirements:
(1) Unlocked Bootloader
(2) TWRP
Steps:
(1) Download the ZIP here.
(2) Copy it to your phone.
(3) Reboot into TWRP.
(4) Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Cache. Swipe to Wipe.
(5) Select "Install". Select the zip file you downloaded in the first step.
(6) Swipe to flash. Wait for it to flash. It might take some time. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after you flash to avoid bootloops.
(7) Select Reboot.
You have successfully flashed MM!
If you want root, download SuperSu Flashable Zip. Reboot into TWRP. Select the SuperSu flashable zip. You have successfully rooted!
I will keep updating the ZIP as and when LG releases a new ROM or patch.
Hold on guys. Don't flash it for now, we need to modify the file. Update will come soon.

Yep guy. You can root with supersu and it survives reboot.
First, unlock your phone by flashing the aboot (it works fine now, but only if you are under lollipop n10f).
This kdz works fine, to flash with LGUp
https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=3354
Then install TWRP from the official thread.
You know what? I'm going to make it. I need to be on v10f to unlock bootloader and install twrp?

Lol, I was editing my answer. See above.
Once you have TWRP installed, you can flash the MM zip and supersu.
The rom works pretty smoothly once debloated.
Just one thing, this MM zip has a MM specific patched aboot and TWRP.
Indeed, on our phone, the LP and MM structures are completely different. So the LP patched aboot does not work on MM.
For TWRP, under LP, the phone is named c90n and in MM, it's c90. So it changes this.

Hi guys.
I just want to tell you that, thanks to you, I have been able to resuscitate my device. My LG G4c has the bootloader unlocked, it is rooted and it runs with MM. Thanks to all and, especially, to @ahmed.al, for guiding me, to @Anghirrim, for his good indications, and to @pvineeth97, for his magnificent work.
Thank you very much.

I'm about to flash a G4c in the next few days, at the moment I'm reading through the topics to do things right.
There are only some things that make me unsure of the process. One of it ist mentionend above by user @Dr4In. Maybe @Anghirrim or @pvineeth97 can say something about this problem?
The problem is also described here in the last post:

Personally i didnt find any fix for the notification red led which was 24/24 open so i went back to stock rom, the only advice i can give you is, if you install LOS make sure not to do Factory Reset from the settings, because after that the phone only booting to TWRP and if you install the rom from TWRP it wont boot its just booting into the TWRP, the only way to brake this loop is by flashing stock rom with LGUP.
In the link you mention it was my mistake about LGUP and i figure it out later.

The led problem have been solved at least in AEX. Don't remember for LOS 14.1.
There is a turnaround as well in order to completely disable the led. I can find it back.
