[ROM][UB/LB][4.4.4][.283][Pre-Rooted] Xperia Z (C6603) 10.5.1.A.0.283 Generic

[luala]

Hi Friends,

This is pre-rooted flashable stock ROM created from the FTF file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2872440 with @zxz0O0 's PRFCreator tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

Features:

1. Based on stock ROM 10.5.1.A.0.283 Generic SG version
2. Pre-rooted
3. Latest SuperSU and dualrecovery are included

All I did is just download the firmware, create FTF file and then use PRFCreator tool to create this flashable ROM, apart from that I didn't touch anything in this ROM.

Information:
I compared with other stock version from other country, difference are in useless application, such as:
1. France version has one Diagnostics tool but this does not have
2. The 4G icon is 4G in Franch version, but this is LTE
3. The options for Mobile Mode is different, this version has 4 options (WCDMAonly+GSM only+WCDMA/GSM+LTE/WCDMA/GSM), and France version only have 3 options (4G/3G/2G+3G only+3G/2G)


NOTE: Unlocked bootloader works. I did not tested on locked bootloader, but someone tested it on locked bootloader

Installation:

1. Download this ROM and transfer to you Xperia Z
2. Reboot into your recovery and do clean (clean cache, data, system) installation
3. (Should not needed) In case you lost recovery after flash this ROM, just enable debugging and then on Windows/Linux use NUT's recovery installer (XZ-lockeddualrecovery-<version>.installer.zip) to install recovery.

Screenshoot:

Download:

MEGA
GoogleDrive

ROMs created with PRFCreator should work on locked bootloader without any problems

 

[Kariharri]

I can't boot to recovery. Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT:
It seems that XZDualRecovery files are absent from /system/bin

i just tested this. flashed over a locked bootloader

and it works. booted up.

BE2 works as well.
-------------------

EDIT: apparently there's an image bug (nothing major) on the caller picture during a phone call (they have lines with the images)
so it was not clear.

EDIT2: seems like this bug only exists IF the user chooses to manually crop a photo through the album.
if it was sync-ed/edited with google accounts, the lines are gone.
(tested it by changing photos of one of my contacts with 2 different photos and then reverted back, no lines)

EDIT3: for the sdcard transfer, i was able to fix it via this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/fix-t2759826
(this fix is system level and not 3rd party apps via play store)

i was able to transfer files IN & OUT via wifi file transfer with this fix.
just follow the instructions

not sure if this is an issue on all 4.4.4

Deodexed?

nope. odexed.

Was also a problem with the non-prepared stock ROM(s) of 4.4.2, have had to implement that fix before :silly:

Also, it appears you lose Recovery when installing this one (since it's not included in the ROM I guess?)

Otherwise works like a charm here up until now! (Unlocked Bootloader)

The Recovery XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA is already included in this ROM.

By default, volume down is TWR and Volume up is Philz recovery.

Wipe data cache and system?

yeap. the sdcard fix was needed as its an important fix.
luckily there are files for us to do a self-fix.

The Recovery XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA is already included in this ROM.

its weird because your rom is not the first stock rom that has lost its recovery by not being able to access through the volume buttons upon boot
BUT it can be accessed through NDRUtils app from play store.

but i am able to fix it by reinstalling a dual recovery version and i was able to access recovery via volume buttons.
so no worries there as it can be overwritten even by older versions (i prefer 2.6.3 as its a stable one)

Yes full wipe data and cache...
I have a kernel 4.4.4 with KMA rom.
It's Bad ?

 

[DionKS]

Works on LB Thx for the post

 

[leongzxc]

@luala

maybe you can consider to change your title that LB works as well

Lol, completely screwed my system up by trying to do it by hand, then flashing wrong firmware to fix problem, etc.

Now, after half a nights work last night, finally up and running again [emoji12]


On another subject: another thing that seems to have improved, for me at least is the GSM signal strength! Had hardly no signal with 4.4.2 in the subway here in rotterdam (NL), but now signal seems almost twice as strong!
