You can root Lollipop with Kingroot
[Xperia Z General] koimr:
I can confirm that Kingroot does work!

However, I've reflashed and will wait root-less until someone finds a way to get SuperSU working - after using Kingroot I am unable to switch from KingUser to SuperSU (I have a non-unlockable bootloader so no way to flash a zip) and I prefer the latter.

Official LP on C6603 UB

Just finished flashing C6603_10.6.A.0.454_Customized_HK.ftf which I have downloaded using flashtool.

[I have flashed it on top of C6603_10.5.1.A.0.292_Generic_NCB.ftf]

Observations:

> The camera UI speed has greatly improved, it doesn't lag that much anymore whenever I open settings.

> RAM Management is quite great. My Z has 1.2GB free RAM on startup

> X-Loud is nowhere to be seen in the Settings - Sound Menu :confused:

> Temperature seems to be on par with C6603_10.5.1.A.0.292_Generic_NCB.ftf

> There is no significant battery drain so far

Hi guys,

I've read through the whole thread and it's making my head spin :p Different apps, different roms, different FW, different methods...

My question: I've got a very virgin C6603, not rooted, not unlocked, nothing tampered with. What should I do to load a C6603 Lollipop FW update? I'm sure everything has been discussed in other threads, but which should I follow? Is is necessary to unlock and root?

South Africa's service providers are so slow, I doubt that 4.4.4 is available OTA - I've done mine via Sony Companion...

I know there is a kind soul who will be able to assist this n00b... Thanks!

It annoys me very much.

[Xperia Z General] 100rabh7791:
Has the update been released for Nordic countries???
[Xperia Z General] alexvv:
updated it succesfully, here's a quick review: pros: 1) phone definitely feels faster 2) the animations are awesome 3) lockscreen is really practical 4) material design is a step ahead 4) new sony launcher 5) sony's lollipop is even closer to stock than 4.4 6) feature-ish stamina mode 7) apps open faster 8) no lag or battery drain till now, stable rom . cons, unfortunately quite a few: 1) battery is at least 10% worse, probably even more (stamina on) 2) quick notifications are just looks, functionality compared to 4.4 is lost 3) for more advanced users: system app delete works with some bugs, you need 1-2 restarts so that the deleted app is really gone and sadly xposed doesn't work, but that's just lollipop..

Kingroot causes problems and besides it doesn't provide full root. Try THIS

Its based on personal choice. If you are from Asia, then flash Taiwan (makes a small noticeable difference in the network signals) and if you are from Europe/USA, flash the US zip!

But it hardly makes any difference because all are global!

Hello there...

I know this is a stupid question for most of you guys, but forgive me as I'm not really in this phones, roms, flashtools, roots...stuff. I know there are multiple threads here for flashing phones and I'm pretty sure I can follow one of those step-by-step guides and do it right, but here's what's bothering me...

My phone is Xperia Z, of course, (C6603 model) and I've never done anything with it except updating it through PC Sony Companion whenever a new update arrives. If I understood right, there are four stock roms available for us to download and install: Hong Kong, Taiwan, USA and Sweden? As I'm from Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina (eastern or middle Europe, as you wish), I wanna know which one of these four I should use for my phone? I'm not worried if my phone's gonna work properly when we're talking about the Android Lollipop as a system, but my concern is regarding the network and those stuff, will it work well and so on...?

Thanks in advance...
