hi benchmaker,

Good day. Im currently on stock 4.4.4 oit of the box. Ung instruction ba sa part na "(if you are/ after on kitkat+rooted+dual recovery)" before i start with that process do i have to be rooted first or just begin following the instructions right away without root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iamVhox:
My advice to you, update your firmware to latest build and from there you can root it using kingroot, simple as that as you don't have to undergo this tedious process.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] darkbring24:
thank you sir.

Thanks po sir iamvhox. Sureball po yan? And one more thing, locked bootloader po b after the whole process? Ayaw ko po kasi sana maunlock ung bootloader. Saka anong version po ng kingroot ang gagamitin? The latest? Thanks po sa recent answer and tia n din po.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iamVhox:
Kingroot v4.5 do the whole thing for me. Mine rebooted on 16% and when I run it again it gave me root failed message but I pressed try again and finally it worked. I still have my bootloader locked, root is all I needed to remove or integrate system apps.

So you used latest king root method on 5.0.2 and it worked without a pc??? Good,I just bought a z ultra and I don't have a pc. I was hoping there was a one click method out there. And can we flash twrp once root is achieved??? Then rom it up???

I have 1 problems with this method in 5.0.2, my camera freeze when taking pic, do you have this problem in 5.1?

thx
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
No. So far all working fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] harley1rocker:
Yes but from what vague answers I get from the devs and people that know what to do,kingroot is not the way to go.

My bootloader is unlocked. 5.0. And after some idiot told me I could use kingroot,a real dev spoke up and said no if u use kingroot your totally f'd... So yeah u can achieve root with kingroot but your screwed if u do cuz then u cant use any tool to load a custom kernel to gain recovery to rom it up.

They say read through 6 and a half million post. Call in sick cuz you will need to read read read. And then what??? Read some more.... Then it still fails cuz there's another 6 and a half million ways to do it....

Pick one....oh and good luck reading through very vague information
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vaibhavrox:
Glad it worked. I'm thinking of wiping everything and making a clean installation with 5.1.1 firmware. Will it work

My PC doesnot have Java installed. So after the step of Adding ZU dual recovery, it said could not execute java therefore I think Zip Sign step would not have worked. SHOULD i flash it??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
From what i know the important thing is to flash recovery so you can flash .zip. The step is get root access, flash recovery then you can flash pre root rom. In lates update, zu installing patch to remove dual recovery before asking to update rom, but not remove the root access. make sure you check it and reintalling recovery before flash if it change.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I followed the instructions to use PRFCreator, and took the Customised UK FTF downloaded with FlashTool, added the custom recovery and SuperSU, and got a new FTF

But FlashTool simply ignored the pre-rooted FTF for no reason I can see. It sees other FTFs in the firmwares directory but not that one.

I tried twice, but no joy.

Please can someone tell me what I did wrong?

thanks

Paul
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] benchmarker:
Hi Paul,

If you Followed this Instruction You Will get pre-Rooted Flashable Zip Not FTF....

Install That Zip using Recovery Mode...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
1. Download your rom using flashtool then decrypt it

2. Create your .tft file using flashtool

3. Create your flsah .zip file using PRFCreator you need .tft file, zulockedduallrecovery flashable zip and supeSU flashable zip

4. Put your pre root .zip on your sd card.

5. Flash it from your recovery.

Note. I assume your zu already rooted.

Helps pls

Tried 4 times and it has no root on 5.1.1...

step 1 - install kit kat, dual recovery and super user

step 2 - volume up when booting to enter PhilZ Touch

step 3 - wipe dalvik/ art cache ,wipe cache , wipe user media, clean to install a new rom, factory reset

step 4 - flash pre rooted 5.1.1 from sd card

when i install pre rooted 5.1.1 from recovery, there is no root when phone turns on....

I don't know what I am doing wrong , should i click ''clean to install new rom'' in PhilZ Touch or not ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
Try go to recovery and install root flash from fecovery. But make sure you still have root by installing root checker
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Megafrend:
i am doing it from recovery, but when i flash 5.1.1 i lose dual recovery and root
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
Hummm.....oke can you get back to kitkat and get rooted. Then re create your 5.1.1. I believe someting missed when you flash 5.1.1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Megafrend:

2. Opened PRF creator and loaded FTF SU and recovery

3. Check/tick Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modern, LTA label and Sign zip - on the upper right corner (i didnt check Legacy mode)

4. Click create and ive got zip file with name flashable-prerooted.zip
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
Oke, you on the right track. i would suggest you to download your rom using flashtool then create your own .tft it self. Maybe its work.

I follow this step to create my own .tft file

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Megafrend:
Thanks for the help man !

Let me get this straight

1.Make my own .ftf using XperiFirm

2.Open PRF creator and use .ftf ive made to make prerooted zip file

3.Flash it from recovery

is that all ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tnthd2:
Try at least version 2.8.22 (use both the installer as well as the flashable zip) from the Beta directory since there have been many bug fixes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zole:
Correct, also use the lates one as told above. Hope you can get your root back

Hello XDAers, I'm not sure whether it's allowed to ask for an app, but now that you know I'm asking for one... It's about the famous website crowdin.com,which is nearly an essential stop station for those who make new applications and want to translate it to many locale languages.

It gets quite hard to translate stuff from my browser on phone when I'm not home, which makes the process slow and boring, so I thought that if there was an "official, maybe" application for the thing, it would be absolutely better and more convenient.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigperm71:
I got my Moto X in October 2014, and at the time I thought it was the best phone ever. It did everything perfectly, no issues with the car bluetooth, hands-free, etc. Just great all the time.

In November, the Lollipop update came, and since then, it's been non-stop issues. I know there are memory leaks and people report problems, but just wondering if it's this bad for everyone. By the way, I did a factory reset a couple of months ago, but didn't see much improvement.

Here's a list of things that came with the Lollipop update.

A few times per day, I get this message: "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped". It happens with all sorts of apps. After that, I can't tell what is actually broken, if anything.

Sometimes (maybe once every two weeks) when the phone rings, I get the vibration/ringer, but I can't actually answer it until I unlock the phone.

Not all apps sync to my Moto 360, even after doing a "resync". This could of course be an issue with the 360.

Also on the 360, sometimes notifications just stop, but the "Offline" indicator isn't present.

Google Play Music and Pocket Casts are especially problematic.

Lag. Just starting an application, there is always that half-second delay.

So my questions...

1. Is it possible to revert to KitKat? I haven't seen ROM images available. I used adb plenty of times with my HTC One, but the phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I felt safer doing it.

2. Is there any info on when 5.1 (or 5.0x) will become available for the Verizon model?

3. Do you think Verizon would take the phone back, just based on my general complaint that the phone has been essentially broken for 5 out of the 6 months I've had it?

Thanks for any help.
