Generic? Is it official? Downgrade to kitkat and flash a 502 stock ROM tweaked.

I unlocked the bootloader following Sony's tutorial and now im just stuck on how to root it. From what i can tell 23.0.1.A.4.30 isn't rootable, am I able to downgrade my firmware then root?
Sorry, only just got the Tab
I'm in the same boat.
Need root for this latest firmware, preferably without having to unlock the bootloader.

I've managed to do it. It was quite straight forward in the end.
You need to flash a 4.4.2 FTF file with Flashtool, then root that with EasyRoot and install DualRecovery. Then you can flash the latest 4.4.4 pre-rooted zip and voila! :good:

*EDIT* found what I needed in kulvertti's thread
"Just received my new Xperia Z2 today. It comes with 4.4.4 already (23.0.1.A.4.30)...can you please post link to download the earlier 4.4.2 FTF file? I can't find it on Sony's site. Thanks! :good:"
Is there an optimal ftf for running cm11/12. Also, what is the best way to find out what firmware you are running? Is it displayed somewhere?

To find out your firmware, go to Settings, About Tablet, then scroll down to your "Build number"....this is your firmware version. Don't know the answer to your first question, since I'm on STOCK (rooted) and not CM. sorry....

Can you link me to the stuff you used? I've tried searching for a FTF but I cant find any for mine, which is the SGP512. Can I just flash a SGP511 since they're both WiFi?

See if there's a firmware update for your phone. If not search xda for a way to install recovery on locked bootloader. Then flash a stock lollipop rom. You should just unlock your bootloader it makes life easier.

You can flash stock (sony) Roms on locked boot loader. If you unlock you can flash any ROM.

As far as i know you can put this rom over RR. But i´ve never tryed.
I was on soak test 5.0.2 before going to 5.1.1 custom ROMs... I restored to stock 4.4.4, and got the 5.1 notification...
MY QUESTION IS:
IS IT SAFE TO ACCEPT THE OTA? Will it brick my device?

Yeah ni Brick happens maybe,
AFAIK bootloader upgraded in 5.0.2 big update, so cant tell what happens, and if u used custom ROMs, then u cant live with Stock ROM anymore. Im sure you will restore that backup after trying Stock rom, IMHO wait for twrp backup of FINAL OTA and try that, not make any drastic steps now bcoz the device is year older so we have no Warranty now.. ...

Hey thanks bro, but I restored to 4.4.4 yesterday, got the OTA.... And guess what!!!!
I am running official 5.1 on my phone now... No brick has occurred, everything is smooth.
I have never taken such a serious and risky step before in my life! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
But I can guarantee you and other fellow XDA members
Don't be afraid to install 5.1 OTA after restoring to stock 4.4.4 from 5.0.2
It actually works, since it Motorola has made it official.
Two things to note though....
The bootloader has been updated
The partition tables have been updated
The recovery is no longer the Kitkat one (as seen in 5.0.2 soaks)
Oh and BTW, if someone wants to get back to 4.4.4 for some reason, then he CAN, by flashing all the firmware files of 4.4.4 EXCEPT the bootloader and the partition. He will also get the OTA and install it fine. Just tried it tomorrow.
Peace!

I have made the backup, ready to be flashed....
Here are two things to do prior to installing
Do a backup of the previous ROM
Wipe Everything
Now install, and as soon as it completes setup, DO A FACTORY RESET (it gave bootloops, so I am requesting).
And another interesting thing, if you change the language to English US, the new Boot animation appears
I will definitely upload by tomorrow...

I had already made a back up just before rooting and after that I rooted,installed xposed etc.....When I got the stock recovery today I tried to restore the back up I had taken but same thing happened to me ....it didn't boot......stopped at android is starting then I forced switch off and rebooted to twrp and did a factory reset and then it booted ........
Initially it was showing the old animation (I had selected English (india) as language) but when I flashed the stock recovery , the animation changed to new one and I checked the bootanimation file is the same but I got the new one.....now when I flashed twrp again bootanimation stays as new one
Thanks for the upload again

Hi,
I initially installed update 15.1630.1902.90 to my phone and after that it ruined the perspective control of my ROG while using the mobile desktop dock. I tried installing the previous version via sideload but to no avail.
Can anyone share the step by step on how to install stock ROM to our phone? or downgrade from the previous version of the firmware?
Thank you.
Just place the firmware in the Root Directory of your phone & reboot, this is given that your not rooted & have a locked bootloader.
