No worries. WHenever you can. :)

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Really...GPE_6? That's really odd. I wonder if that's a mistake on Sony's side. THe device shipped with GPE_16 and then bumped to 18, and 26. Odd. Thanks, though!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AccuNeal:
Yup. checked it twice. it's a 6
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] oldblue910:
That's really strange. No number after the 6 huh? OK then! If that's what it says, then that's what it says. I'll archive that. Thank you for the info!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
I haven't got it yet either, but I can probably force it. Stupid question, but is there root for this? I need to tether my laptop, and can't afford to lose root right now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AccuNeal:
No root needed for tether. I am writing this on my Nexus 10 tethered to my non-rooted ZU GPe running today's ota update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooties:
I'm probably going to hold off for root as well. I can't live without my ARliberator app for my car stereo. Great news nonetheless!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
I use T-Mobile, and while I could tether before I rooted KitKat, I couldn't get past the 2Gb tether that T-Mo allowed me. It wasn't until I rooted and installed Wifi Tether Router that I could truly use it unlimited.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Does this have the x-reality engine?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
There is no such thing as a ftf for the gpe, just the recovery flashed zip.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gautam703:

No OTA yet, resorting to adb sideload

I wonder when Sony will release this update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bwp1979:
Anybody else having issues writing to SD card on a non-rooted device? One of the main reasons I was looking forward to lollipop was for the sd card fix.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
I tried the ol' clearing google services framework to force the update, twice today, but it didn't work. They're most certainly doing a staged rollout. All of you people that got the OTA, which countries do you reside in?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
IN New Zealand I didn't get the OTA yet, so had to resort sideloading it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] habibjamil:
I have Model 6833 Non GPe, can I flash it with Lollipop for GPe? If yes, any instructions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
No, you can't. Just wait for a ported ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] habibjamil:
Thanks. I will resort to Patience :o
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
I will resort to Jihad. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
Lol [MENTION=897781]kanej2006[/MENTION] do you that jihad means 'struggle'? :p

don't quite see how you can apply that here :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lalaca:
Also New Zealand here, but I got the OTA yesterday. Can't install it, because my device ain't real GPe.

It's like a carrot on a stick, dangling in front of my face... So close, yet so far...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
Has anyone with a unlocked, rooted GPE got the OTA 5.0 update yet? I really hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't happened considering the train wreck that happens when you unlock your phone with out first backing up your DRM keys.

(Which makes perfect sense, right? DRM Keys go hand it hand with a unlocked phone...and the ability to take video and autofocus)).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
I did...

You want me to put the hammer down?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Was your camera borked on 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, and if so did 5.0 fix it?

Edit...seen your post in other thread.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TravisBean:
I liked the previous android version better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Yup... I was hoping that this would fix it but no dice... Camera360 does work, but I cannot get it to shoot quickly enough (it takes roughly 5 seconds for the camera to take the picture after pressing the shutter button).

I am also seeing something weird with email notifications... they aren't showing up. There are sync errors in the accounts part. Not sure if this might be due to a dirty flash (considering that I was stock before, I would think that this would be ok).

Also seeing a few FC's from things like AndroidUI and even phone from time to time.

No root and no camera makes Jack a dull boy :p

I am rolling back to 4.4.2 I guess... it was worth a shot :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KMyers:
Is anyone else seeing a massive number of random reboots with the Z Ultra GPE once updated? My phone has rebooted at least 10 times today for no reason.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JRT Studio:
When trying to apply the OTA update manually to an unrooted Ultra Z. I get...

Verifying current system...

"/system/tec/permissions/platform.xml" has unexpected contents.

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

I tried wipe data/factory reset , but I still get this message when attempting to apply the update.

UPDATE: After rebooting with the cache blown away, the update now shows for me. Installing as OTA update. Let's hope this works.

Any guesses?

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

:( , The install coming OTA from Google still has this error.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] draiko913:
I had rooted, unlocked the bootloader and flashed roms previsouly, but I had backed up my TA partition so I was able (with some struggles at first) to restore entirely back to stock before updating. Right after the update, I did a factory data reset and then set everything up again. I have not had any FCs, reboots or issues so far. Everything appears to be working as it should. Good performance and battery life so far, although this is only my first full day with it installed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KMyers:
Are you running a completely stock GPE image?

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

I may do a factory reset over the weekend
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JRT Studio:
I forgot that I rooted to apply and SD Card fix when I got the phone. I had to manually back out that fix in order to get the Lollipop OTA update to run. It wasn't that hard, but I feel bad for all the people out there who applied the SD card fix and will now have to manually back out the change just to update to Lollipop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
[MENTION=1007565]egt[/MENTION]hunder1 - I wrote a dinky little camera taking app simply because of the odd ball delay that how's for us that nuked DRM and unlocked. Anyway, it does do much and has auto focus but it takes pictures fast. PM me if you want me to send it your way.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooties:
I got the update.. i said earlier that i was going to wait for root but the update urge was strong with this one. Well, I'm one of the few who unlocked without properly backing up the DRM. Not sure if that's related but I ran the update and it got to bootloader then stopped at the bootloader logo with "no command". Rebooting went to the same screen. I had to plug a usb where it showed me the options to go to bootloader, start, etc. Start booted me back to 4.4.4.

-Just in case this happens to anyone else. Cured my update urge. I'll be fine where I am for now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gidal:
Lucky you.

5.0 OTA is the most junk OTA I've experienced.

It has failed on my N4, N7, and ZU. All are stock (or restored to stock prior to update).

I had to manually flash the full 5.0 image on my N4.

Not too keen on doing it on the N7.

And tonight my ZU GPe picked up OTA and it also failed after reboot.

Everything stock here.

Android after Andrew left, is just not quite up to par, it seems.

Now I have to manually apply 5.0 on my ZU GPe ... this blows.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] oldblue910:
Clearly not. If you are using a 100% stock radio, system, kernel, and recovery, these OTAs do not fail.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fzurita:
I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I had no issues applying the update after restoring to stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rsuperp80:
sorry! im a newbie, I also get the error when I did the OTA update. can you teach me how to manually back out the change??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gidal:
I'll try my best to point you to the right direction -

- thanks to DooMLoRD's post here, you could download right OTA for your ZU GPe, e.g.: LRX21P from KTU84P:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564039

- you should be able to follow the directions posted here to do adb sideload OTA to your phone (no data loss, OTA = zip file)

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...date-a-nexus-without-root-or-custom-recovery/

I think the hardest part is finding the right OTA zip, the rest of the ADB stuff, if you've done it once then you've seen it all.

Good luck
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rsuperp80:
Thank you for the link! Try my best

The update finally showed up for me, I guess I'll install it when I get home. It's going to suck losing root though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alfred0725:
Is there any custom recovery which we can use?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
My update went well. I was stock, rooted, and had no problems. I'm not experiencing any FC's or reboots. Someone asked earlier if the X-Reality engine is still there: yes, it is, as is the Sony audio enhancements. Maybe I'm experiencing a placebo affect, but my internal speaker sounds louder/fuller. The camera/auto focus is also faster, but I haven't been able to test the photo image quality yet.

I've read a lot of complaints about Lollipop trashing the performance of peoples devices, but this phone fly's, and my Nexus 5 does also. You can really experience how buttery smooth this OS is when you push the multitask/recent apps button and flip through the Rolodex of cards that are displayed. All together this was a fantastic update and I'm glad I decided to install it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nightanole:
It seems this adb sideload stuff makes it over complicated...

Download the 400 meg LRX21P image from google using the provided links

pop it on the sd card

power down the phone

hold volume up and plug it into any usb port - this gets you to recovery menu

scroll and select recovery mode

do the super secret "HOLD POWER button and then TAP the VOLUME DOWN" to get into the advanced menu

select update from sd card

Boom dun.

I get as far as "update from sd card"... but I get the error:

E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] draiko913:
I am very comfortable using adb, but what you described above is exactly what I did as well. Very easy to do, you just have to make sure you move the zip file from the internal to external sdcard, otherwise the bootloader can't see it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kamui01:
a flashed device to gpe can not be updated to lolipop

Is there any way to get lolipop for a flashed devide?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JRT Studio:
I got that too. I had to remove a 64 GB card and put in a 16 GB card and the error went away.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dckmastaflex:
clean update

i was unrooted stock and i cleared the framework and got the update. I dont see the lollipop wallpapers or the sony sound options or face unlock any one else not have those?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gidal:
Good luck, either using adb sideload or SD card method.

FYI, I lost the Sony Audio enhancements after the update. Meanwhile, the Xperia display enhancements remain intact.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
How did you back out the SDCard fix?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xdause:
i'm on a stock 6806 with root and installed today no problems. I forgot about root and lost it after update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
Never mind. Got it reverted for the update.

/system/permissions/framework.original* back to framework.xml

Also lost root as well after the update. Not big deal, just time taken from me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nightanole:
I havent rerooted yet, how do we root lollipop? I used towelroot lasttime.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
You will need to flash a rooted image. So far, there is no other way AFAIK. Towelroot will not work.

5.0.1 rolling out to htc gpe devices today. I wonder why Sony didn't hold out for a couple of days. With the server impact and costs, among others, in mind.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] knives of ice:
any insight on how this is done? i want 5.0 but i absolutely must have root
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
I've had 4 update attempts fail.

Tried first on rooted device.

2nd factory reset.

3rd I relocked the bootloader (yeah, don't know what the Fk I'm doing!) and changed back any xposed files I remembered (though factory reset did that...not so)

4th: I reformatted everything (and stupidly wiped for New Rom!)..

No matter: fking error!

Now I have another update sitting.

SO GUYS: what are the exact preconditions for successful OTA?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
Android system needs to be stock. If you've made system changes for whatever reason, the OTA will fail.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RMiskie:
I too am having trouble installing the ota... I don't recall ever touching /system, I assume some xposed module did (no idea).

So, how does one revert all changes to /system?

I've tried downgrading, but I can't find how to get a custom recovery without an unlocked bootloader.

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nightanole:
nuke it from orbit using the red reset button by the sim card? Thats a full factory wipe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Not that I'm aware, that is just a hard reset

Edit:

The long way would be to:

root

backup TA

unlock BL

hotboot DooMKernel v2

flash modified 4.4.2

update to 4.4.4

restore TA

unroot - may not be needed

update to 5.0
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Uninstalling xsposed framework through xsposed installer app was enough to get OTA to work on previous updates. I no longer have the GPe to test as I switched to a Sony ZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newbie101:
I got stock gpe, rooted but bootloader lock, uninstall xsposed framework, OTA lollipop update still fails.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RMiskie:
I was hoping there'd be a quicker/easier option... I'm currently on step 5 of that list... ugh. If I ever get this phone updated, I'm never rooting again. LOL.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
If you can't figure out what changes Xposed made to your system, and undo them, factory reset your phone, and wait for the OTA to show up again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gidal:
I'm sure it's on the back burner already.

I pushed 5.01 on my N7, about the same time I pushed 5.0 to my ZU
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newbie101:
I uncheck all modules installed, reboot, then uninstall xposed then reboot again, redownload the update,,still failed. I don't want to do a factory reset, it might not work. I guess I have to unroot it to work...somehow no easy way to just unroot. Thanks for your help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
No, you don't have to unroot the phone, I was running a completely stock device, but rooted with towelroot. I downloaded the OTA and it installed with zero problems.

The issue you're having is that you or Xposed made a system change to your device, and even though you uninstalled Xposed, it didn't revert the changes it made. It only takes a tiny little change to Android/system to cause the OTA to fail.

I don't understand why you are so against factory resetting your phone, it can be a pain reinstalling your apps, but it doesn't take very long. It's probably the only way you're going to get Lollipop, since you can't figure out how to revert your system to stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] newbie101:
Thanks for your help...maybe when I get more free time...I might have to do it..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nightanole:
Yup, i flashed the ota from my sd card. I was rooted with towelroot, and had xposed set to fast unlock on the pin code. Flashed for me fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Haminjuri:
I received LP OTA last night for my ZU GPE!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lars2206:
I only have 1 official Lollipop wallpaper after the update - the rest are the old ones from KitKat. Shouldn't there be the same wallpapers as on the Nexus 6? I know I can just search and find the images online - just curious.

Using better battery stats to track wake lock should be helpful to identify if its an app or the kernel preventing phone from sleeping

Are you planning on adding any other governors? thanks again for the kernal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] matrixzone:
I personally prefer lean kernel with less features. Adding more option complicates thing and take toll on battery. Battery is more important for most users
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Exactly why I'm loving this kernel, simple not overstuffed.I guess it's personal opinion/preference. I've been running it since it was posted w/o any probs! ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thirdzcee:
Not at this time... Interactive gov seems good enough... I will however change the GPU governor soon to be the same as CPU... It will be interactive in my next build

I like it close to stock... More on upstream patches and code improvements over advanced and extra features... I did add s2w/dt2w before because my home button is getting hard to press and I want to prolong it's life as well as the power button
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Wouldn't mind s2w/dt2w as my home button like, everyones on L builds is still broke. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe U brought us the first OC kernel (separate from ROM) for 5.0 L builds! Either way, RESPECT! :thumbup:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thirdzcee:
Thanks... Be warned though 1.8 gets unstable sometimes, if you do want oc 1.7 is my max tested stable for nom bin CPU's, there's 3 types for our phone, slow, nom and fast, each has its own voltage specifics.. And s2w/dt2w consumes more power since it keeps touch panel powered on, so unless your on a 7k mah battery like me , your gonna have battery troubles with it... [emoji12]
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
Is it just one zip for KK and LP?

And I retract my statement, data wasn't working for a bit there, I'm trying again later when I go back into town... But this kernel benchmarks great, its the only other kernel that I've tried that will hit 19k in Antutu with the clock settings I use.

Hello, I have been testing this kernel for a couple of days now and I am liking it a lot. So far everything is good.

The only thing that would make it better for me is swipe to wake and double tab to wake :) also if its possible, wave to wake.

I didnt even know double tap to wake was possible on S3. If you could do that, it would be much appreciated !

Thank you for the awesome kernel.
