What about root? loose it?
This is the untouched Sony FTF so if you flash with this, it will give you latest build by wiping your phone so root is lost. I created the zip file and stripped FTF for this firmware but didn't upload it. Let me know if you want it, Ill try uploading again... last time dev host was being a bit** about it.

Yes, I want. It will be very nice, if you can upload it.
Simpy flashing with the Falshingtool and uncheck the wipes?

Thank you very much

No, on 4.3 it doesn't work like that.

1 - You need to flash back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 firmware with flashtool, 1 that will let you root your tablet with a 1 click root method from DoomLord.
2 - Install Recovery once rooted
3 - Upload the zip file to your SDCard and flash the zip from CWM or TWRP
4 - Power Off WITHOUT rebooting
5 - Flash with Flashtool the the stripped FTF

Boot and you will be rooted on the latest firmware.

Its the same way as in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588442 )except you will be using the latest files/firmware.

I'll upload the files later for whoever wants them ... getting off work in a few hours.

Did you previously have root and simply updated or just update without root without wiping?
Previously had root and kept root after update.

Just follow these steps:

1) copy zip to SDcard
2) go into recovery and install zip (without wiping anything)
3) turn off phone
4) flash kernel via flashtool

done.

Two quick questions... One why is there a part one and two??? Doesn't flash tool only let you select one zip.

Second if I'm fully stock I can still flash with flash tool no root needed.???


May sound stupid but I was told ftf files can be flashed without root via flashtool

The package (FTF stripped and Zip for Root) is splited in two parts. Just download both parts, and decompress them with 7Zip, WinRar etc

I created the ZIP and Stripped FTF 4.4 yesterday for my Xperia ZL phone. Has it also been released for the tablet?
I don't have PCC installed on the laptop I'm currently on...
root and pcc update is possible only for lte version . for stock 4.4 update and flashable zip for wifi version you have to wait
