Hello Im new in this device...and I want to install cm12.1...but I read a lot and I cant find/undertand the correct cm12.1 or AOSP 5.1 rom to use. I only see roms for sgp511 or sgp521....Im wondering if I can use the 511 rom in a 512? (I dont know if its Castor or windy or other codename).
Anyone can tell me how to install cm12.1 in a 512 z2?
My z2 tablet is a sgp512 with unlocked bootloader and android 5.0.2.
Thanks in advance.
cheers
And there is an app for IR blaster in cm12.1 or aosp? and the last question can I update using OTA if I have unlocked bootloader?

SGP 511/512 are the same devices, just with 16GB/32GB of memory. So ROMs for the SGP 511 also work on SGP 512. It's called Castor_Windy.
The LTE-version is called Castor. AOSP is only available for Castor, not Castor_Windy.
After unlocking the bootloader, OTA updates don't work anymore.
To install CM12, you have to unlock the bootloader and flash a CM11 boot.img via fastboot. Then you can install CM12 from the recovery.

you are required to unlock your bootloader on non stock based roms such as CM11, AOSP or anything alike

I have the latest stock ROM installed. It is rooted and has the dual-boot installed. I cannot install any custom ROM: Castor-Mokee/Carbon or Cyanogen. Philztouch and CWM, report that my machine is a 'Sirius' and not a SGP521!
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be?

that you need to do more english classes this is the Z2 not X2 sector, you can;t use any of those roms
My Tablet is SGP521 and [ROM][UB][4.4.4][SGP5xx] CarbonRom unofficial for Castor, will not install, either. The custom ROMS, that I try to install, say they are for SGP521. Recovery, says my SGP521 needs a 'sirius' ROM.

Locked or unlocked bootloader? You need unlocked bootloader to install CarbonRom.
Unlocked boot-loader.
may have fixed it.

I have the dual-boot recovery. I think this may be the cause. (old thought).
It may be because I was fastbooting the boot.img from the PC, rather than the SD. I'm not used to this way of flashing ROMS.
The problem was: the boot-loader had become re-locked!
I fear that I've just brick my SGP512 Wifi Tablet. TWRP installed with XZDualRecovery told me that I tried to install Castor Windy, that is not compatible with my Tablet Model ...
Nevertheless, it seems that I was not wrong, because SGP512 Wifi Tablet is really a Castor Windy ??
I wiped all previously before installing a new CM11 Rom. And now, my tablet is unusable.

its either you already have a TWRP on the previous version which is KitKat, if not make your phone rooted, unlocked bootloader with recovery before doing or flashing this new version (Lollipop)

I am on the GPe port as well. What steps did you exactly take to flash this Sony ROM?
Did you flash another Recovery or Kernel first or did you flash it from the TWRP which is part of Scrubbers port?
So I've managed to recover root privileges but dual recovery is lost, I've read in dual recovery Q&A that there's some files I have to erase when you don't want it anymore, so I thought just erase and then flash dual recovery again, but since this happened a lot of factory resets ago there are some concerns about this being the right way, do I just flash it without erasing those files? Also is it realy necessary to flash the latest DR or will my old version do?
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.118 on a c6833 with LB.
I would also love it if you could recommend the most stable Nougat or MM 6.0.1 rom, I know there's AOSP Nougat, DU and maybe RR for 6.0.1? What would you flash for a daily driver, I don't care about the camera much, but if Wi-Fi and phone radio are working normally, that should do it for me, thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand with this.

Awesome, just when I thought no one was gonna answer, so what do u think I should do to get DR back? Do I erase those files and reinstall or just reinstall? My OS is so unstable I'm afraid anything will brick my XZU. Do you need me to provide extra info?

may of missed this part but is your CM based????
No, It's Stock KitKat 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.118 with LB. I plan to unlock the bootloader if I get recovery back.

Have you tried to Unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery and root and relock it?
By any chance have you been on official 5.1.1?
No I've never been on any stock LP be it 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, so does it matter if I erase the files in the following howto before reinstalling DR?
How to remove DR:
Delete the following files:
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/charger
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
/system/bin/mr
Also is it better to unlock the bootloader first? I don't want relock it afterwards since I want to flash DU or AOSP Nougat, or RR M and have a recovery.
I read a lot of the forums all the time but I'm still pretty much a noob at this, up until now rooted Kitkat is all I've needed, sorry if I'm asking too much.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
OK so I've been reading, are you suggesting that I unlock the bootloader so when I install DR it stores the recovery on the FOTA kernel partition, instead of /system, so i won't lose DR next time?
I guess that's what I've been looking for if so, last question, is DR compatible with Android M or N roms?
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still a noob, hehe.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you wanna be on a cm or asap rom with DR.
If you plan to use any of those roms, yes unlock the bootloader. From this point you should be able to install DR on top of the current recovery, as long as you've had any type of recovery you can flash with an app. Rashr, twrp manager etc.
I've UB now, do I need the new bootloader? Do I get it if I go directly from my Stock KK to RR Lollipop rom? Can I go directly from stock KK to RR Lollipop without bricking it?
Sorry if I'm asking to much but I'm just trying to make sure I don't end up with a bricked phone.

So I've managed to get DR working again flashed RR Lollipop but now my phone doesn't see my external SDcard, what should I do?, I've read the whole RR L thread down to the last message but the only solution I've found which is to correctly uninstall Nut's DR doesn't work for me since there's no such files in /system/bin

I believe no. I I'm not to familiar on the new bootloader. Prob have to ask one of the rom devs, but im pretty sure you just need twrp 3.0
Thanks RealityFails, you've been of such help, I did learn from your posts, I flashed DR then RR LL rom then with twrp app and flasher I got my recovery for non-stock since I read somewhere that Nut's DR doesn't work with custom roms.
I'm now trying to learn how to read android's logs to see what's up with this ROM not reading my external SDcard, when I go to storage unmount it then mount again, it reads for a few seconds then it's gone, whatever man! he he crazy rom, otherwise is awesome, and everything else works. If I'm not able to fix the SDcard access do you recommend any other LL rom similar to RR?
Anyhow many thanks for helping this Z Ultra stay unbricked, updated and with a decent recovery.

The official LOS comes with built-in recovery. which is quite crippled in what it can flash. If you have TWRP installed it should come with kernel or installed to FOTA partition.
In both cases check, that you're using TWRP 3.2.x.x version.

I ended up flashing the second newest version (3.0.x.x.) and then flashed the latest lineage os and it worked . There is something wrong with the latest TWRP.
