I used the c6833 and it works very well. Thank you

Is anyone having issues with the phone restarting after flashing this? I have done it like 5 times and even using the 6802 file from another link then finishing with the steps here.
The ROM feels very fast and smooth which is a shame for me to be experiencing this.
It seems to happen mostly if not always, when on my magentic sony dock and possible after it is fully charged?! It wont come back from sleep. I tried running without Stamina too and same thing.

Dark Themed Apps / Deodex Patch
(same instructions as post 2, but you get (deodexed) dark themed system apps)
This is a full system patch (not just themed apps) ~ it can be flashed instead of post 2.

Hello iBuzman, I'm currently running a 118 rooted stock rom (odexed), and I just realized I should have chosed this rom as I don't like the stock white interface. Because I spent a lot of time in customizing the current rom, do you think if would be possible to flash your black deodex patch on my 118 rom? In order to minimize side effects, I was thinking about a semcphone.apk replacement only. I don't know much about odex/deodex, so maybe it's not realistic.

EDIT : I see trois options, after having made a recovery of the current system :

1 - Flash a light deodex patch with just semcphone.apk or
2- Flash the whole deodex patch and see what happens
3- Try a dirty flash of your whole rom + dark patch on my current rom.

Bootloop on Dark Theme

Do I need to install @jackie099 kernel before flashing it? BUt the NUT recovery/root already have the ric_kill right? So why im still having bootloop?

Hi All,

I made an ftf for 14.4.A.0.108 Android 4.4.4 for the 6833 (cda# 1275.9426). I think this makes it an unbranded generic rom from Malaysia, anyways, I have confirmed it all works well.

Update: Deodexed Patch (Post 2) also working well.
Update 2: Dark Themed Deodex Patch (Post 3) working even better!

To make the ftf I grabbed a pc companion update and converted it with flashtool.

Titanium backup first as there will be a full wipe. Nandroid probably a good idea too

Flash attached ftf in the latest flashtool (remember, this will wipe everything). Enough guides on how to do this already exist so we don't need another..

Boot and set up. Don't forget to enable usb debugging in developer options after tapping Settings ~ About Phone ~ Build number x6 times.

Root will Easyroot v9 (fixed version) ("customised for Xperia" version of Towelroot - includes ric kill ftw)

Reboot

Load supersu (chainfire version) from play store and update binary when prompted.

Reboot

Install @[NUT] dual recovery. Note: This download seems to annoy chrome and throw up a virus alert ~ use the zip anyway it's safe.

Updated version: http://nut.xperia-files.com/downloa...lY292ZXJ5Mi43LjEzMi1CRVRBLmluc3RhbGxlci56aXA=

You can now flash the deodex patch in Post 2 or Post 3 if you would like

Titanium backup you did earlier should be good for you to restore from.

Remember to refix your sd card via the sdfix app from play store. The rooting tool you used earlier already performs ric kill so root r/w access is ok

a bonus for you:...
(note on screenshots that custom stuff thru xposed is working)

Confirmed as working xposed installer [emoji106] : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0uD0ZLDjONjMVlSVXFTa1EzaEk/edit?usp=docslist_api

14.4.A.0.108

Confirmed TWRP backup after installing dual recovery.

SuperSu

Ndr Utils for rebooting (thx @[NUT]) [installed with dual recovery]

Sorry to bother you ibuzman I know your prob busy but just trying to be sure of somthing before I continue, I am rooted, unlocked bootloader, with dual recovery by nut, with stock .108 just trying to figure out if I can just wipe, flash with twrp OR do I need to flash the ftf via flashtool, reroot, reinstall recovery etc...? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

[iBuzman]

should be ok to just flash over the top in recovery. a better jdea would be ro visit the kanome deodex tool threasd in sony cross development and deodex and own exist installation

Yes you can flash a c6833 FTF or a c6802

 

[ankitsxperiago]

Tell me that it won't brick my z ultra....
Coz the model no. Is different...

 

[blueether]

I answered the question above the first time you asked it, either will work, the phone will just identify as a c6833 while on that firmware and will show LTE option in the settings but they wont do anything

 

[cashif]

I seem to lose IMEI everytime. Do we have to be at specific version before upgrading? Have tried updating from 532 as well as 757 and lost root. Even tried with flashable zip from another thread but I am losing IMEI. Totally out of ideas now, have been flashing continously for past 3 hrs with no luck. Any help will be much appreciated.

just flashing the whole FTF kills the imei?
