I can go get it to fastboot or flashmode but as i said there is no display, nothing, not even the Sony logo. I have used flashtool to flash 108 ftf but its the same. No display just the backlight turns on, the touch works though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] WildBit:
Sounds Luke hw issues, shame
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] makfreeman:
Yeah, i'm trying to make sure its hardware related and not a software issue. But having done a hard-reset and flashing ftf using flashtool i am losing hope of a software issue. Ah well time to look for tutorials to open this behemoth up.

Really disappointed with QA on sony's part though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Sup guys!

So I had to reinstall my 118 ROM so instead decided to try this GPE one for kicks. I am actually very surprised and impressed how smooth it is. Also digging the notification and overlook and feel of this ROM.

Its a shame that there will never be Small Apps for GPE based roms as I use them too often so it normally forces me to go back but I am going to hold on for a while and try alternatives to my needs for small apps because I do like this one too much. An Overclock kernel would be nice too for my OCing addiction of course :D

Thanks for the great job.

PS. My DK30 works just fine as I saw someone asking about issues with the dock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] syckman:
I was able to boot up until lock screen, then enter password and then screen goes black, except for status bar. Sounds like your issue is slightly different.

Does the x-reality for mobile really have an effect? I have an unlocked bootloader, is that the reason I can't seem to notice any difference? Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bappy004:
Hi guys,

Thanks for the suggestions, but they dont work either. My phone is a C6833, but in the Settings it shows as C6806. Not sure whether it related to this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cyvr1:
Hi,

C6806 is the XZU Google Play Edition. Since this is a GPe port the C6833 identifies itself as C6806. But this should not be the cause of the issue because I had the same. Calls worked fine but no internet connection though the correct APN had been selected.

First check whether an APN has been selected at all. Also check all settings for that APN. I looked up the configuration for my provider (o2 Germany) on the internet and found that for some reason MVNO-Type and MVNO-Value (last two in the APN settings) have been set on the phone whereas the configuration I found online showed no values for that. After removing the preset values the phone instantly connected to the internet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Guys I cannot find in Security (as it with other ROMS) how to disable that google check when restoring apps from Tibu which is annoying. Anyone please? :)

How to screenshot?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:
Volume- and power buton hold them in same time
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Additionaly, check if mobile data is enabled by pressing the connection icon after pulling down the notification bar. Commonly, mobile data is disabled if the APN is misconfigured (had the same issue with Telco O2 / DeutschlandSIM here in Germany).

This ROM is stock GPE and hence will not work with CM12 recovery! Initially, I had the same issue wherein it used to get stuck at the Language selection screen. Follow the below steps

1. Flash 108 Stock Rom ftf through flashtool.

2. Copy Scrubber GPE Zip to Internal Sdcard

3. Fastboot Jackie's kernel to achieve Root & CWM recovery (Link: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7226)

4. Boot into recovery; format data/system/cache.

5. Flash Scrubber GPE.zip & wipe cache/dalvik cache.

6. Done:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CosmoDroid:
I did exactly what you asked and the same thing's happening. Bootloops after the screen goes dark. Left for 10-20 minutes. Reboot goes to starting apps where it gets stuck. Another guy was having the same issue. And I have no idea what's causing this 'cause I tried every other way. CM-12 rom booted fine, though.

Superb. Throughout the entire night I'd only lose 1% battery at the most...

I get around 4 hours on screen time with medium brightness, no power saving mode.

That said, using dim/complete dark brightness and power saving mode should give you just over 5 hours on screen time...

hello guys

thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wtfhax:
If you are on stock and dual recovery, you can boot into your recovery and flash the rom via your internal or sdcard. If you do not have dual recovery, get the installer from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and use the 3rd option if you do not have root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jamaljmys:
thank you

i flashed the rom after full wipe and system format used touchfliz CWM, all done and when reboot the system got no boot and black screen with nothing shown.

could you help please to return to the stock or get this rom boot? since i couldnt see anything on the screen how to enter fastboot or flash mode? device vibrate when press power button and computer recognize the device when connect to USB.

- i backed up stock system by touchwiz.

thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wtfhax:
Download a suitable FTF for your device here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/ftf-depository-sony-firmware-releases-t2829387. Don't forget the flashtool too, the link in the same thread.

Use the flashtool to flash the ftf to your device via flashmode. To get into flash mode make sure your device is off, in your situation pressing vol+ and pwr button together to power off. Then while holding down vol- plug in the usb cable you'll be in flashmode to be used to flash the ftf via flashtool.

cuestion???

this rom sony brings apps (walkman, album, etc.) ???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Flavio:
I have a strange problem.

My ZU started freezing and I could not figure out the cause.

When I wiped the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache it refused to reboot but kept hanging at the swirling coloured dots.

Short of a factory reset, which I do not want to do, I thought that reflashing the ROM would perhaps work.

I reflashed the ROM and the ZU now boots and recognizes my WiFi network so I think nothing was wiped, it only upgraded 88 Apps but those are part of the ROM I guess.

But it now takes ages to continue booting, first it takes a very long time for "Checking Connection" and when it finally has passed that it stays at "Software update - Checking for updates" and there is no way to skip this. It hasn't frozen because I can still go back a step.

Any tips would be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] texaspledge:
No matter what I have done this rom starts freezing for me after a few days of use. Only a reset wipe fixes it and it always comes back. I've tried flashing with cwm/twrp and still the same. I had to shift to cm12 and it's ok but not quite as fast or not quote as good battery life in my opinion. If we get a port of 5.0.2 from gpe when it's released maybe it will not have those issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Flavio:
I think I know why my ZU did not boot. I fixed permissions in TWRP and apparently this i not something you should do with Lollipop.

I did a factory reset and luckily there was a recent Google backup so I had my ZU up and running again quite quickly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Yes, all three and more!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sjesudasan:
My experiences with this rom for four days

I bought this phone only two months ago, I was ready to forgo ten months of warranty by unlocking the phone because I was so much in love with lollipop for its animations and expected under the hood enhancements.

Pros:

Beautiful animations.

Slight improvement in battery life.

slight improvement in speed.

Cons:

Screen became dull and lifeless - Brightness level dropped, sharpness dropped too.

watching movies were'nt fun anymore. In outdoor, watching movies became impossible.

Had issues Connecting to bluetooth devices.

Once Connected to a call, it wasn't possible to make anymore menu selections using keypad.

Felt my phone heating up, i never had felt my phone heating in stockrom (even when playing asphalt 8 while running utorrent in the background)

I'm back to stock rom now after locking my bootloader.

Sony already released all 5.1 binaries for AOSP so customed ROM is very possible now without any port. It's going to be exciting for upcoming Z Ultra developments!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Any chance of Scrubber updating the GPE 5.0 port to 5.1 or 5.2?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vincentallen2:
I don't think so, since Sony/Google hasn't release a 5.0.2 or 5.1 update to the real GPE Z Ultra. Scrubber's port is literally a port from the actual GPE Z Ultra model.

What you may be wanting/looking for is an AOSP build ROM, which is slightly different from a GPE ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
I currently have and use an AOSP rom. However, battery life is very poor compared with Scrubbers port.

Current AOSP builds are very fast and offer great customization/themes. however, battery drain is on the high side compared to scrubbers port
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
and in my experience that battery drain has gotten horrendous in the most recent builds. Now that xposed is available (in alpha form, but very usable), I'm finding all of the customization for 5.0 that I need with the gpe port and xposed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Yeah. I keep reading that the upcoming update from google should fix major issues including memory leaks and battery drains.

This should be addressed in Android 5.0.1. However, we are still eargerly waiting for this update!

So far, the very latest Kitkat was the best for battery. Previously on Kitkat I'd charge my phone twice a week with little use.

Now with Lollipop I'm charging every day or two at the most...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dandyqb:
Even Lollipop 5.1 has memory leak

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] squall_20042001:
I heard somewhere that rom can use on locked bootloader. Can be?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
No, only the KitKat port can, sorry.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Whilst this port for appears to use a little more battery than its KitKat equivalent, it's still less than the AOSP/CM ROMs, and much, much less than the latest builds off those ROMs, as I was losing upwards of 10% of my battery per hour with them (previous builds were nowhere near as harsh).

Anyway, as gravitybox provides for 99% of my customization needs, I have no need to mess around with them for the time being.

It has been fixed in 5.1.1

You said it right. Zombie kernel will only work for AOSP based lollipop roms...

However, you can still use Slim Kernel which I highly recommend.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DarkSandmaN:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Unfortunately Slim Kernel is only compatible for Cyanogen Mod and other custom AOSP roms. :(

The only way to use an alternative kernel would be by using a custom rom at this time.

Otherwise you can downgrade to Kitkat and use Zombie Kernel which is what I'm doing...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] caspianprince33:
tried almost all the kitkat roms....for some reason or another couldn't stay at one rom for long...........and some roms i liked quite much but they didn't have exfat driver support so i couldn't use my 64gb microsd.............so now looking for perfect lollipop rom......all the aosp based lollipop roms have a problem...that is mx player can't use hw+ decoder in them......but due to being stock rom scrubber lp allows hw+ decoder to be used somehow....... :(

So what kitkat rom are you using???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
I'm using StoneUI HD 4.4.4 Kitkat rom:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-stoneui-hd-118-t2952024

For those who have been experiencing freezes or crashes with this ROM.

I noticed when the screen freezes you can still access the settings page via swiping down from the notification panel

and when I go to Settings->Apps->Running->Show Cached Processes

You'd see a very large 'Google App' cached suggesting a memory leak.

If you close this cached process, my screen would unfreeze and the launcher would restart.

The memory leak bug fix is now available through xposed framework for lollipop, this seems to have fixed the crashing for me.

Without having to wait for Lollipop 5.1, who knows when we're getting that if at all.
