[STOCK][C650X][4.4] Update to 10.5.A.0.230 [Root & XZDR]

[[NUT]]

I'm having trouble downloading the torrent file for c6502 not any peers. Will take forever. The other option I don't understand how it works

Have you viewed this link yet? http://zbigz.com/page-quickstart

It's really easy. You don't have to create an account, but if you do, your download will be kept safe for you to grab for a longer time compared to when downloading as an anonymous user.

If you want to deodex it's mandatory to finish this guide first, inlcuding the FTF (it contains baseband, modem firmware and the kernel). Then after you finish it's setup run the tool to deodex it.

I tried to use the tool to deodex after using this update and got a continuous boot screen. Made a backup first but I remember at the end of the deodex it showed 1 file missing, and I believe it said it was classes.dex. And my final size was 333MB also which I read was smaller than it should have been. But the update worked perfectly on unlocked 6506 w/.101 and 88 user apps + gem, serajr xposed, gravity box and xtheme. No lags, no drain, 1 GB free ram minimum, and the lockscreen pixie dust which was huge on a clean install was tiny like I think it should be with this update flash. Great work.

If you did zipalign when you deodex with kamome tool, please re-deodex without zipalign.
Also please try installing SuperSU or superuser with zip after you flash deodexed zip.
C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip puts superuser.apk to /system/app/, so maybe something breaks it and cause losing root access...

[EDIT]
I should reload before posting:crying:
I'll update kamome tool to save log file.

Here is the kamome tool v5.
kamome tool v5 (mirror)
It will save progress and error to log.txt.

Not blaming you awesome work Nut, I only want know if anyone is getting same error, maybe Sony fault or 4.4 changes.

Anyone getting FC in live wallpapers?

And seems to me that they reload the LWP every time I unlock the phone. Maybe anything related to another wallpaper in lock screen?

If you have a C6506 that's correct: I ran out of space ... created some and it will be online soon.

Created space already?? I have a 6506 also and cant wait to start flashing away. Thanks.

Use zbigz.com then... You might be having issues with bittorrent in general?
