[Xperia Z General] chissene:
hi there, finally i decided to updgrade my xperia, since a long time, so i tried to flash this one, but first of all i have to admit that im still on unlocked supersu rooted c6603 android 4.3 build 10.4.1.b.0.101 with latest stephen busybox and XZDR 2.8.21.

I also read in comments that flashing by recovery works under twrp, but i don't know why i can quite always only enter in cwm recovery, and that's it, if i try that for flashing it takes 2 second and nothing happens.

I also tried "instal zip" with philz, install takes longer, android reboot and takes 62 optimization steps, but yet still nothing changes.

So i tried to use the fix, but using option 1, it stops at "waiting for device, connect device now", no way to recognize the plugged device (but i can normally use it in windows.

Not proud of myself i'm going to ask help ^^

//ok, i finally understood how to enter twrp recovery, now trying to installing zip . .

. . it ends in a success !

but, nobloat don't works anymore, (it opens but it does not rly disable nor delete apps), cannot install XPOSED, it says it's supported for this build and sscoolingengine+ does not work anymore, battery go down very fast with just wifi and . . cannot enter anymore in recovery, the fix states:
