Since I am on 4.3 rooted, do I have to go back to 4.1 ?

not necessary, you can flash it from .569 with recovery.

You mean only step 11-14 to Update a rooted 4.3?

 

[pisti7204]

not necessary, you can flash it from .569 with recovery.

I can confirm that! If you are on rooted 10.4.B.0.569 version, you can update to this latest version following the guide in OP, start with point 11!

Came back to rooted stock from CM11 as too many apps don't play nicely.

Simple procedure. Copy flashable zip to SD, save FTF somewhere on computer, save chainfire supersu flashable installer to SD also.

Reboot to recovery, wipe all, flash rom zip, flash supersu. Power down from recovery and reboot to flashmode, flash stripped ftf.

Reboot again , profit

The zip has maxed out connections on Drive. Can you host somewhere else?


OR

maybe someone who already has the file can mirror somewhere?

Hi guys.

I have sony tablet z with 10.4.1.b.0.101 unrooted.
Will the whole procedure make me loose my app data etc?

yep, you have to flash 4.1.2 android then root, flash 4.3...

 

[kenshinio]

Thanks for the answer. It's not a good news...

Any chance that in the near future there will be a way to root B.101 without loosing the data?

 

[heretic]

Can this be flashed on a SGP312?

 

[DooshPastesh]

No.
