Downloaded dual-recovery, installed, fortunately worked :D

Flashed Super-SU Fix, wiped cache, restarted.. . Will tell you the progress once my device cools down :p

EDIT: Awesome!!! Some of the root is working lol :p
Pimp my Z1 is working but GameGuardian is not.. . Somehow little weird but anyhow..
And yeah, even Xposed Framework tried to run itself and root functions are okay uptil now.. .

Hi OP I just wanna share what I did too.

What I had before updating to LP:

1. A backup of my LB and UB TA partion (via TWRP, for quick switching) from @[NUT] 's guide

2. My Flashtool unlocks my bootloader without losing my data. How? by these steps:
a. Take note of your SERIAL NO. and UNLOCK CODE via sony.
b. Paste your unlock code to a .txt file and name it to "ulcode.txt"
c. Paste the ulcode.txt to flashtool's directory.
C:\FlashTool\registeredDevices\YOUR SERIAL NO.\ or
C:\Users\YOURACCOUNT\.flashTool\registeredDevices\YOUR SERIAL NO.\

3. Stock Lollipop 14.5.A.0.242 ftf.

What I did to gain root access:

1. From stock Lollipop 14.5.A.0.242, I unlocked my bootloader and flash @cocafe's kernel via Flashtool to have TWRP pre-installed.

2. Boot into TWRP and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to have root access.

3. Flash [NUT]'s Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.12-RELEASE.installer.zip to retain TWRP access after I flash stock kernel and lock bootloader.

4. Flash KERNEL ONLY from my STOCK ftf via Flashtool.

5. Reboot into TWRP and locked bootloader by restoring my TA partition from before.

6. Enjoy rooted LP. Thank you great DEVS!

Hello, I had the same problem, I ran the following command in a terminal and got the problem fixed:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

The following links explain the problem and the fix:
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=899
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/twrp-0-mb-internal-storage-mount-data-t2880124

I think that maybe the problem started when busybox was auto-updated via Google Play.

I hope this help you.

Best Regards,
Robert

Something goes every time wrong...

I flashed successfully the ROM and recovery. Booting up and do the settings.

But why is my internal memory not recognized? In FileCommander I didn't see any files on internal memory and can't copy anything on it. Can't save any screenshots, nothing.

When I take a look with RootBrowser I get:
/sdcard -» empty
/sdcard1 -» this is my external SD card
/storage:
- emulated
- 0 -» empty
- legacy -» empty
- remote -» empty
- sdcard0 -» empty
- sdcard1 -» my external SD card
- usbdisk -» empty

My BIG question is:
Where is my internal memory?

What's going wrong?

Well, this was nice. I flashed it and got a black boot-loop. When pressing the power button my phone just vibrates, then nothing. Holding the power button just makes the phone vibrate again and again and again.

Hello,

Wanted to go back to a standard stock ROM (Currently running RockZ1L 3.3) but the Mega link is broken? Was going to just downgrade to a rootable ROM I have on computer, using Flashtool, reroot & custom recovery and flash this. Does anyone have a working link please?
