[Lasantha]

so no need for full ftf? if full ftf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55082588&postcount=1 might help root

I also created a FTF for this 14.4.A.0.157 Nordic Combined Base firmware with XperiFirm (independently from the original poster).

changes pls?

changes pls?

I haven't noticed anything different in terms of user interface so far. However, that is a new kernel and a new baseband so probably a few under-the-hood fixes from Qualcomm. On initial impressions it seems very fast and responsive (though previous firmware was also fast and responsive so that could just be placebo).

thanks a lot for this. I do prefer the nordic firmware because the signal icon and he data(4G) icon are separated

Just flashed this over the 2nd edition russian 14.4.A.0.108, and I don't see any visible changes to the UI. But for some reason(or maybe the absence of doomkernel and xposed modules) I feel that my phone feels more responsive like what paul5425 stated.

BTW, easyroottool does not work, so no root as of now?

Does that mean we lose our root for now?
I can update my Amami too, but if there is no root now, then I will wait

Maybe someone could make a pre-rooted and odexed .zip?
That would be great.

 

[CoolDevelopment]

It might fix the exploit used by towelroot

 

[Pakman123]

i got it rooted by using .108 kernel and rooting it newroot and then flashing .157 kernel

 

[mosespl]

please share :good:

Yes, please. So when I flash the deodex zip the bloatware will be removed? I probably also wouldn't be using the bloatware, but could you name what app you removed? I am a bit new with deodexing, I have tried and failed, so could you also tell me which recovery you used? Have You also tried if Xposed is working? With rooting I will be using newroot as I have understood, since it's not as easy? I know it's a lot of question, but thx in advance..
