    • If You are on .108 firmware, simply run the install.bat in "Root kernel .157.zip>rootkitXperia_20140719.zip".
    • If not, then flash the .108 kernel ftf via flashtool, and then run the install.bat .
  2. Install Locked bootloader Dual Recovery by NUT from here. Use Z1C-lockeddualrecoveryX.X.XX-RELEASE.installer.zip.

Thanks for the new prerooted stock. When making a clean install I noticed that a number of google services and receivers were disabled (especially google play services and google services framework). What is strange is that when I try to enable those with any app like DisableService, MyAndroidTools, AutorunManager etc, they get disabled by themselves in a short period of time. My problem is that GooglePlayServices and GoogleMaps are causing a huge ammount of wakelocks. I thought it might be related to the disabled services.

Can anyone confirm that it is rather caused by the latest firmware update and not by this customized build?

I'm still experimenting with google services and receivers (they seem to be behaving differently compared to Kitkat and even Lollipop 5.0.X). At present I'm loosing 1%-1.2% of battery per hour when the phone is idle (in the first place it was 3%-4%).
As for the wakelocks caused by Maps ("net_scheduler"), the only solution I have found so far is to kill Maps process in a task manager when not using it (closing the app and removing it from the tray didn't help). When getting those wakelocks caused by Maps I noticed "OfflineRegionManagementService" running in the background though I'm not sure that it is responsible for the wakelocks.

Make sure system is rw - use terminal and type 'mount -o remount,rw /system', and/or do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony...ition-t3226957, then try your apps again.

Very strange - and you have a '#' in terminal, not a '$', right? I guess you could check /system/xbin/su file and see if permissions are set to 755. I'm not sure why you would get that message if you have root and su. Anyway, you could also use file manager in recovery and delete any system files you want...

It's good to update if you get update notification from Supersu app. Then, try to so it through normal method in app. If it doesn't work, (installation failed), then download 2.78 zip from Chainfire site, and flash in recovery.
