Very good.
I was looking for a Stock Rom with PreRooted for my tablet SGP521 through Flasthool (.ftf)
Rather it was Llollipop instead of 4.4.4 and would be for Spain.
What do you recommend me to download? Which of the available work well on my device and country.
Thanks and regards.
PS: Sorry for the translation.

Incase you missed it
Thank you for your help.
My problem is I just bought the tablet and it came with Android 4.4.4 and Locked Bootloader and Root am not currently nor I have Recovery, so I can not install any Zip
Greetings.
You gotta flash 4.2 Jellybean on it using an official FTF (Basically a firmware file from Sony). Then you root it, install recovery and then you can flash Lollipop
Ok.
Thanks again.
I'll see then if back to 4.2 to make Root and Recovery.
You could also spend 4.2 from Lollipop? (incidentally, always talking about having the Closed Bootloader).
A greeting.

Hey Folks,
I Googled, I really did, so don't get angry at me...
As many others, I updated my phone to ICS, and found it really disappointing. Laggy, choppy, and the UI was messed up in few places(like getting to favorites in phonebook). Not to mention the annoying notification LED issue.
So, I went and installed CM 9.1 and tried also the CM 7.2.
Didn't like it, decided to go back to latest stock Gingerbread.
What is the latest OFFICIAL GB?
I've seen a thead about 4.0.2.a.62 on XDA forums, but the link to rapidshare wasn't working. I tired one I found on shady site(yeah, I know, stupid), but it had issues with physical qwerty, and I just didn't trust the software of a random site.
Currently, I'm running 4.0.2.a.58, but I'm receiving notification about an update to .62 via the update center in the phone, but it fails to install. (probably cause I put in a boot.img from CM 9.1 package) Also, the notification is annoying as hell. Any way to remove it?
Can someone please point me to the latest, RELIABLE GB rom? Also, is there a way to put back the original recovery image? (working download links and step by step instructions for a noob would be very appreciated)
To sum it up, how do I get my phone to be like a regular, stock phone from SE with the latest 2.3.4 android?
And no, there is no Sony service point in my country, and the vendor previously refused to honor the warranty and roll back official ICS to GB.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please post all your question threads here in Q&A in future.
Also normally common questions can be answered by reading the sticky threads at the top of General like this one as they normally cover all the basics.
Thanks

Of course you can't do an over the air update on unlocked boot loader, this can brick your phone!
The latest official firmware is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and for Germany (only?) .69 that you can download as a flashable zip
There is no recovery image, xperia devices don't have a stock recovery
You could flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread (e.g. rage kernel), boot in cwm and flash .69 :good:

Thank you for the information
Now, is there a tested and working .62 image laying around? I've found one, but it messes with my qwerty, and I don't know where it came from and if someone put in bits that shouldn't be there....
The ones shown here in the forums is 4.0.2.A.0.42... (I have the sk17i model)
Is there a way to root my Xperia Z2 (4.4.4) without unlock its bootloader?
Or else better, is there a way to back-up the bootloader before the unlock?
I ask because I want to root it without set a custom Rom.
Thanks in advance.
There is. You've got to downgrade to for example 4.4.2, root your phone, create a pre-rooted version of 4.4.4 and then flash that. There is a much more detailed guide around here, so I recommend that you check that out
To back up your ta partition you will need root first.
In stead of creating a rooted rom you can also find some prerooted here in the development forum.
-Use flashtool to downgrade to 4.4.2
-Root and install recovery with one of the available root methods (towelroot for example)
-Use recovery to flash a rooted 4.4.4 zip, recovery (again) and SU (again)
-Reboot
-Test network connection, if 4g is not working, use flashtool to flash a local 4.4.4 baseband
That's all.
I heard that for rooting it's required to have unlocked bootloader. Is that true?
(I have seen the root guide in forum, but I don't think that it mentions the bootloader)
My problem is that I want to upgrade the phone without errors (when sony has updates). I say that because a friend of mine has a rooted Nexus 5 with unlocked bootloader and he can't install the last update.It gives him a bootloop and returns to the previous. This is something I don't want.
Thanks in advance.
Unlucking is not needed.
Official updates should work if you're on a 100% stock rom, but updates are generally available as flashable rooted zip, here in the forums, long before you get an official update available from Sony.
So that should be no problem.
Biggest issue here that people dont search howto root on locked bl, that is possible, search and read then you will have it, example like the installations steps of a modded stock rom

Hi guys i have the xperia Z2 D6543 with a stock 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.232 with locked bootloader and without root .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/miui-7-sony-z2-relesed-t3188688
But i don't know what i really need to do, i was looking on the internet and i found many posts saiyng that i need to downgrade my rom to 5.0.2 and root than i should upgrade it using flashtool.
If that is a easiest way to root and change my rom that you guys can show me i would be pleasuread.
Thank you!
Download the prerooted firmware you want to use. Then downgrade to 4.4.2, build number 314. Then install the XZDR. That will give you a fully functional recovery. Get into TWRP (volume -) and install the prerooted firmware and reboot. The phone will reboot with full root and recovery.
There is another way but still need a downgrade to 5.0.2, use a rooting tool to install the recovery; if you downgrade to 4.4.2 is just one step.
Hi Ya'll and Happy New Year,
I need some help in rooting my Z C833. Before I tell you my ordeal here is the system details:
OS 5.1.1
Build 14.6.A.1.236
Bootloader: Unlocked via sony
Now i am not a advanced user when it comes to android stuff, I am still learning. All the talks and guides about rolling back and going to kitkat and flashing and recovering TA partion is kinda making me confused. I have seen many guides, i tried to roll back via flashtools, use king root to acheive root, install dual recovery then flash super user. This is the extent of my knowledge.
When i try to either ftf a pre rooted file to a 5.0.x fw i LOSE ROOT, every single time. Can someone help me out. What am i doing wrong?
For example I roll backed to (C6833_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_HK) installed King root, pushed (ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined) flashed (BETA-SuperSU-v2.49) and then went back to flashtools to ftf (C6833_14.6.A.0.368_Generic Telenor Norway) and i LOSE ROOT (ahhhhhhhhh):silly:
If there is no option for me to update to stock rooted rom, can i install a custom rom with a update fw?
Ideally, stock or custom, i just want to utilize the sound and screen mods on this forum for the z ultra, for that i need custom recovery, for that i need root :S
I know the answer might be very simple, but like i said i m out of ideas.................
Thanks in advance for your help.
anyone???
Flash kitkat ftf, root, flash pre rooted 5.1.1
Did you read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/ub-14-6-1-236-stock-ftf-root-t3270850

Thank you once again.
Hello to the forum,
I'd like to root my Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet (SGP771). When I bought it on eBay, it had firmware Android 7.1.1 (SGP771_32.4.A.1.54_1295-6955_Customized-DE), so I have to downgrade it to Lollipop or Marshmallow to use the "Dirty Cow" exploit, being able to backup my TA-partition.
I tried several Stock ROM's (Android 5.0.2, Andoid 6.0.1) which had another customization than DE. And after flashing the keeps rebooting in the "Starting Apps" sequence (just after showing the "Android"-logo). And I don't know, what causes this behaviour because I used only stock ROM's and the Bootloader is locked and haven't been unlocked before (DRM keys are still intact). And when reflashing the Android 7.1.1 firmware this strange behaviour is gone...
So I think I really have to downgrade to a Customized-DE Lollipop-/Marshmallow-firmware to be able to backup my TA-partition.
So can someone provide my with a download link of a SGP771_28.0.A.8.260_1295-6955_Customized-DE (or as alternative: SGP771_32.1.A.1.301_1295-6955_Customized-DE) stock ROM?
Thanks in advance and regards
