[LolliPop][Prerooted flashable zip][23.1.A.0.690][Z2 tablet SGP511]

[kulvertti]

Hi

Here is flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.1.A.0.690 which is LolliPop and region is customized NCB, latest stable SuperSu v2.46 and latest fully working Dualrecovery 2.89 for Tablet Z2 with read and write acces to system.

Make nandroid backup before flashing.
Install it by flashing whole zip file with custom recovery TWRP recommend.
Factory reset is to recommend.
Here is the link:

If you allready are in LolliPop firmware without working recovery you need to downgrade you firmware first to rootable firmware.
1. Download rootable .314 firmware here: https://mega.nz/#!ZdoklTKD!i8Go-UqaVVt-RIEaRsi5p2ploLPUWaagYirEJJAqKKg and flash it via Flashtool.
2. Root your device with tool you choose. (Dualrecovery installer option 3, Easy Root Tool, Giefroot or other).
3. Install SuperSu to your device from Play store if your root tool don´t do it.
4. Install Dualrecovery with installer if you haven´t allready.
5. Resume your KitKat nandroid backup with custom recovery.
6. Flash prerooted .690 firmware with custom recovery.
7. Before booting up wipe cache/dalvik cache.
8. Boot your device and you are done.

Here we go. First you have to download firmware from Sony servers. There are multiple way to do that. For example you can do it by official way using Sony Pc Companion or community tools like Flashtool or quite genious XperiFirm. Downloaded firmware is encrypted and it must be decrypt first. for this you can use Flashtool but if you download with XperiFirm it can do for you automaticly. Next thing to do is make .ftf which can be flashed via Flashtool. To do that use Flashtool. To make it prerooted, I know two methods. There is great quide by @[NUT] in Sony Cross-Device Development General section which explain the whole thing and then there is tool cold PRFCreator which basicly do the work for you if it succeed. With newest Sony firmware there is lastly one problem to figured out which is that you have to disable Sonyric to have write acces to system. Dualrecovery do it for you but as @[NUT] haven´t yet updated latest firmwares to it you have add your device version number manualy to dualrecovery installation file tmp folder file called "installdisableric.sh". Or find other way to disable Sonyric for example adding it Sonyric disabler seperately to the flashable.zip. At the moment though this isn´t enough to make write acces to system and we have to wait that dualrecovery is fixed or figure out some other way to do it.

Yeah, thanks a lot, i know everything about xperifirm, making a ftf and stuff, what i really needed to know was the prfcreator tool name (i heard about it months a go and i didn't remember), and if there was anything special to do to make it work, like some manual editing on the install script, or what you mentioned about RIC service and dualrecovery.

Thanks again!

I'm so addicted to @[NUT] 's dual recovery, I've forgotten what it's like to be without it. If I flash your (THANK YOU, by the way!) zip, what will be the steps once NUT updates the dual recovery? Just flash it, or will enabling rw be more complicated?

We will see. I will update the thread when we have solution to this.

is there a compatible version of xposed for this release. I heard it was working on android 5.0 but i got an error when i tried to install the framework. i am aware this release is 5.02 but i cant find any info on what specific versions xposed is compatible with.

 

[GalaxyWhy]

Looks awesome! You said the zip comes with the latest dual recovery but it doesnt work? How would i flash my old nandroid backup then?
Or does it mean I should flash a different recovery like: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2-tabl...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676 then I'd have a working recovery on Lollipop?

EDIT: Also can I dirty flash this? I would rather keep all my homescreens, apps n such

Well on my OnePlus One I had to flash the framework in TWRP after I installed the apk, so maybe its the same

Correct version of Xposed should work at least with this trick http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58974714&postcount=2318. But as mentioned you have hard time to install it without working recovery.

Nandroid backup is quite handy when something goes wrong. I have already have bootloops when trying something and have to wipe everything, go back to firmware version .314, root it, install custom recovery, flash my backup and again this rom, without loosing any of my data. So, make nandroid backup. I don´t think that version of custom recovery that you are linking work either without update. @[NUT] is working on this and I´m sure we soon have working recovery.

Yes you can.

You've had bootloops on Lollipop?
I think i'll just wait for [NUT] to get the recovery working first Thanks for the reply though!

Lol. No I don't have bootloops on normal use of LP and yes I have bootloops when trying something experimential [emoji6] which is quite normal with any firmware. Nothing to worry about mate.

Ah ok awesome!
So if i flashed it now, would I be able to get a recovery working for it later or should i just wait to get the package all in one?

 

[T-junk]

Answering your question, no you have pre-rooted flashed so aslong as you dont break that part it will be possible to flash NUT's recovery through the -installer.zip version instead of the -flashable.zip version which you probably do now to update the recovery in most efficient way. No need to hesitate

Happy flashing

 

[kulvertti]

As said I don't see any reasons to wait. As long you have nandroid backup of your kk firmware and rootable version of your device firmware no matter what happen with recovery you don't loose anything and are able to try what ever you decide.
Here is link to .314 firmware (ftf) which is rootable. https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0
