I used this guide to upgrade to Lollipop. This method of upgrading seems a bit more complicated than the other procedures, but the other ways gave me bootloops.

Latest version on xperifirm downloader Xperia Z2 Tablet LTE (SGP561) 23.1.D.0.509 US Verizon (Internal) – Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
Now the native screen cast is in the pull-down bar and works without dropping audio.
..note..
Trying different upgrademethods left a few inconsistencies in the system.
IMO System seems to run best using the following method.
back up data with Titanium to sdcard1. (anything on sdcard0 will be wiped doing this)
Wiped device, installed clean stock 4.4.2, tft. Using flashtool.
Rooted using flashtool, followed update instructions.
Restored data with titanium
Visited playstore and updated apps, enjoyed new free themes...
**note 2.. Before trying this it is important to know how to read the LED and work the volume button in order to access the dualboot recovery.
