hmm is it normal that some are missing?

I get this:

The other ones show something like this:

I see some stuff is missing, do I need it? I can still flash on a locked bootloader xperia z C6606, running 4.4.2 C6603 version right?

Also the one I created has no option to wipe/format in APPS_LOG and USERDATA

Also no option to exclude cache, does this auto-format cache?
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
It should be fine, I have the same as in picture 1, and ROM is working just fine :)

Always make a backup before, stock sony ROM's are flashable on Locked bootloader for what I know

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Just tried with TWRP v2.8.6.0 as someone mentioned it worked but no luck, after wipe it says no OS installed. Does it mean it only works if we have preinstalled stock 5.0.2 perhaps?
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
Thanks. Are the overheating/battery drain gone. I remember 5.0 being hot,even when on homesreen. I will likely flash this tomorrow night, I need my phone tomorrow.
[Xperia Z General] quangnv:
I was on this C6603_10.6.A.0.454_Customized_HK_Rooted_Xposed_Modules_for_LB.zip
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
I personally didn't have those overheating/battery draining problems on 5.0

After 14+ hours of installation and 30 minutes of watching youtube it got a bit hot (medium brightness and full hd videos), but in regular use it's fine, so I guess no heating for 5.1.1

And battery dropped 2% during night of no use due to wifi being on, and nothing else seem to come up on stock battery usage viewer besides wifi and phone idle if not in use. :)
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
Really? Did you clean flash or upgrade. Mine would drain like 2% a minute or so,when done via upgrade. Hopefully it's not too bad this time.
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
I did clean install, it's a must for me, if you have root just backup your apps and data with titanium and you will be good to go after a clean install
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
It looks like the only thing we're differing is an unlocked bootloader. Mine's locked and I have the same dualrecovery version, no dice.
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
but i have a locked bootloader :confused:

btw i am flashing from eXisten rom.. not sure if this is the cause

[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
1st Thnx for your work Ben, love it.

Just flashed on a brand new Z, ( yes, brand new - 150€ :) ) came from rooted 4.2.2, LB, ended up in a bootloop, clean flash. Will now flash 5.0.2 FTF, root it, install TWRP, will report later.
[Xperia Z General] mathacer:
How about upgrading from exiztenz?

I want flash it but i don't want wipe data, is this ok?
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
yes it is okay as i am also flashing from existenz ;)
[Xperia Z General] armutyus:
Should we deactivate/uninstall xposed modules, before installing this rom? And thank you so much by the way, i will install this night.
[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
Hmm. Installed now from stock 5.0.2, rooted, LB, TWRP, everything went well, now stucks at bootanimation, since 5-6 minutes... Wait?

Edit: could'nt wait, did a hard reset ( 15 sec pressing vol+ and power ), 3 apps were optimized, and - tadaaa - LP 5.1.1, nice, nice. ;)

[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
Flashed fine for me, but my phone is getting warm/hot.

Not sure whether it's me being on 35% battery had anything to do with it, but it was draining like a percent every minute or so.

Was draining too fast and was warm, even with no apps running.
[Xperia Z General] xfire:
No my bootloader is locked.

it was my fault. I solved .

I used Philz Touch, and did not work with .After TWRP, as indicated in the post; it worked.

Thank you.

Found out that recovery doesn't work

Will fix it soon ;)

[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
nope
[Xperia Z General] link_it:
i mean recovery fix, not ROM??
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
you can fix it by replacing the fixed dualrecovery.sh (download mine) with ZR's recovery
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
So after a while phone settled down and now is okay. Any way to root 5.1 yet?

I'm using stock/locked bootloader so I assume it's harder.
[Xperia Z General] trieu1209:
Fix recovery Work
[Xperia Z General] obs3rv:
I have the pre-rooted 10.6.A.0.454 installed with locked bootloader. I tried both TWRP 2.8.7.1 (from XZDualRecovery 2.8.21) and 2.8.6.0 (from XZDualRecovery 2.8.15) and while the OP zip flashed with both of them, it didn't actually upgrade the firmware. Version is still showing as 5.0.2.

I didn't quite understand the instructions involving creating a bundle. I did use FlashTool to create a bundle out of the .sin files, but the bundle would not include the SuperSU.zip nor the Xposed framework, right? So I would lose root and Xposed (which is the whole point of using the zip in the OP) right?
[Xperia Z General] TrueFriend-cz:
Bug: One from 3 zips have error... Error with path. In install file use location on drive E:/....path to install files....
[Xperia Z General] Arvind Jain:
Is it mandatory to wipe data too while flashing this rom??? I dont wanna lose my datas. Am on 5.0.2 rooted with dual recovery and supersu.

Please reply my query. Am ready with everything to flash this rom.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
Yes you can.

Redownload if you have downloaded as I have uploaded a new one with recovery fix.
[Xperia Z General] MafiaManV:
Successfully flashed. I was previously on existenz 2.0 and on unlocked bootloader. Wiped ony dalvin /cache. First i flashed your 5.1.1, afterwards wiped dalvin/cache, and flashed again 5.1.1.

I remember i had troubles in history if i wiped data/cache previously to flashing new firmware.
[Xperia Z General] Arvind Jain:
Thank you very much [MENTION=4931701]Ben Ling[/MENTION].

Can you put this line on the first page about "Recovery Fix". Coz still on that page your Recovery Fix is available to download and there is no mention about your updated ROM along with this fix.

And I have already downloaded the previous ROM along with the Recovery Fix. So my query is instead of downloading this updated ROM once again can I use this recovery fix and then flash the previous ROM?
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
you can only install the recovery fix by using computer

so if you flash the old one you cant use recovery until you fix it with pc
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
[MENTION=4931701]Ben Ling[/MENTION]

This though. Exactly the same situation, I tried installing your fix but it still hasn't worked for me. Redownloading what you newly uploaded so I can test some more. It just keeps going back to 5.0.2 while successfully doing everything in TWRP and giving that same error in Philztouch. Sorry if I'm a bother, I would really prefer not to wipe when going to 5.1.1
[Xperia Z General] landro2:
hey guys.....for me this worked almost at 100% .... I don´t know why but my phone is not rooted and I have no recovery....what can I do to fix that? :(
[Xperia Z General] wurst_wasser:
Hey, sorry for te stupid question but I am still on 4.4.4 and it says in your description that I need to be on 5.0.2 if I want to flash your rom...

Can't I just flash it straight from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1?

Cheers, mate.
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
I am not sure if it works but you may give a try.

And better wipe your data if u are flashing from KitKat.
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
What do you mean ?

If you dont have recovery, how can you flash this ?
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
I only fixed recovery in the new update.

So if you already flashed the old one basically you can only fix the recovery by using pc that I posted on OP.
[Xperia Z General] landro2:
it says that is a pre-rooted rom but I dont have root....how can I get root again?or flash it again?maybe I did something wrong...I Could reflash it but I dont have recovery....
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
Oh, Gotcha. Still no dice for me. :eek: Appreciate the effort though.
[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
I don’t believe it will work, came from 4.2.2 earlier, ended up in a bootloop. 2nd try with 5.0.2, successful...
[Xperia Z General] Roronoa-pt-:
Kinda dumb what I'm about to ask but I simply forgot how to access recovery. I'm sure I have it since currently my Z has LP and Xposed installed. How to access it ?
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
Reboot and wait for sony logo, then watch out for LED, it should become purple or white/yellow (depending of what recovery you have) and then you need to pres volume button up or down few times, and that's all, it will boot into recovery, or download advanced power menu from xposed and set it up so you have choice when going to restart your device for what you want (i think there are few options and recovery is one of them) so it will reboot into recovery by itself.

cheers
[Xperia Z General] Olawarley:
I only have root access. No recovery.

Don't know if I'd lose root by doing OTA update.

Can I install this rom on c6602 by flashtool? And do xposed is installed on this rom?

my devic is c6602 on 5.1.1 not rooted by kingroot !!
[Xperia Z General] cdou2391:
First: as it says,this is for C6603.I wouldn't recommend it four your C6602

If you are looking for a C6602 rom,go here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/lollipop-5-1-1-pre-rooted-flashable-t3196011

Second: Kingroot can't root this yet.

If you want to have root,i would advise you to flash a 5.0.2 firmware,root it with kingroot,install a recovery then flash a pre-rooted rom.This way u'll have root on the 5.1.1 firmware
[Xperia Z General] Olawarley:
Thanks for the fast response but it doesn't seem working on lollipop ? as I read from there.

Could you please give some more details? [emoji6]
[Xperia Z General] cdou2391:
1. Download the dualrecovery installer package(It has to be the installer package for your device and not the flashable

link here : http://nut.xperia-files.com/

2. Since it's a zip file,you have to extract it using winrar or 7Zip

3. The you go to where you extracted everything and click on install.bat

4. a command window will appear,now all you have to do is follow the steps.:D

If the first option doesn't work,try the others too

Hi all,

My device has just soft bricked doing the upgrade to 5.1.1 stock from 5.0.2 stock.

It looks like I am going to have to flash my device from scratch and so I want to know if it possible to flash it to this version from a stock 5.0.2 with stock recovery etc.?

I need to get my phone up and running again ASAP and so all help and advise hugely and gratefully appreciated. If I am able to flash to this from stock 5.0.2 can someone please provide me with some instructions. My phone is currently just restarting over and over.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
When you flash new rom it overrides your recovery and kernel, so if rom has recovery preinstalled it will be there, but try and flash advanced stock kernel for 5.1.1 (it's under android development for xz if im not misstaken) just after you flashed rom, but you can always flash it later with flashtool via pc if you dont have recovery now

Cheers
[Xperia Z General] JtagPabble:
hi guys

Just wanna say thanks for this quick release, however i do have an issue.

I flashed the zip file, wiped cache/dalvic rebooted and got android is updating but when the phone starts its still on 5.0.2 stock?? Locked bootloader also

any help appreciated.
[Xperia Z General] obs3rv:
Have you got an unlocked bootloader?

If your bootloader is locked, you may have to do the following.

You're likely to have to flash the 283 ftf, then put the TowelRoot APK on the internal SD, then flash the 230 kernel only from its ftf (at which point you will have no network -- hence the need to put tr.apk on the internal SD first), then root the ROM with TowelRoot, then flash the 283 kernel again from ftf once rooted, then install SuperSU from Play Store, and finally install XZDualRecovery via PC-based installer/adb. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55437146&postcount=4

Then you'd need to flash the pre-rooted 5.0.2 update zip from recovery and reinstall XZDualRecovery after that. Only then would you be able to flash this 5.1.1 update.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/stock-android-5-0-2-10-6-0-t3115036

Beyond that . . . I've followed OP instructions and not actually managed to make it work. A number of us are trying to go from the 5.0.2 update + root + XZDualRecovery to this by flashing it via TWRP 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0 -- and the update looks like it's flashing for 7-8 minutes -- but when we reboot to system we still only have 5.0.2. I'll wait until someone has a more universally working update.
[Xperia Z General] Arvind Jain:
Same here. Flashed the updated ROM successfully but still on 5.0.2 after phone restart [Root and Dual Recovery are still there what I had previously b4 flashing this ROM. No Changes.]

[MENTION=4931701]Ben Ling[/MENTION] .. Mate! Can u pls look into this issues as why we are unable to update to 5.1.1 as I followed all those instructions given on this post.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] JtagPabble:
well i just tried again and all seems fine but all i have now is a black screen wtf :( having to restore coz luckily i was able to get into recovery. Scratch that, phone is dead, how can i recover it, all i have is the sony logo then a red light and nothing else.
[Xperia Z General] heihei_ivan:
i have unlocked bootloader with twrp 2.8.7.0 and i tried to flash to zip

but it appears that the updater-script was not executed at all :(

anyone has an idea about this? thanks
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
Try flashing advanced sony kernel for 5.1.1 then reboot and flash ROM, I think it's due to dual recovery not working good with new 5.1.1, this kernel has only twrp so it may be that
[Xperia Z General] Arvind Jain:
Mate! Not only TWRP but the same problem persist even when you follow the instructions using CWM or Philz Touch.

There are many post available from different users having the same issues even after trying all types of recoveries.
[Xperia Z General] -CRO-Maher:
Try this, download the kernel i posted link few posts before, wipe everything, flash rom, flash kernel, reboot
[Xperia Z General] blkcr:
I had some issues, so I learned a couple of things. In my case, I have the bootloader unlocked and was using stock 5.0.2 rooted (obviously), I wasn't able to flash it with neither Philz (it's abandoned, some explained the issue in another post, so just don't use it, it won't work) nor TWRP 2.8.7.0, so 1st, I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62736485&postcount=31 and that worked, it flashed just fine.

Next issue: I had no recovery and no root.

Since I have UB, I tried to fastboot the 5.1.1 kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-unlocked-bootloaders-t3114234, well, didn't work... So I had to fastboot it using Flashtool and that worked just fine! After that I flashed the (root) file attached in the same post, then rebooted and flashed the xposed zip.

IF, your device is bricked and your bootloader is locked you might need to download and flash the 5.0.2 tft, root it with kingroot (works just fine), then use the dual recovery from the OP and go from there again.

Good luck!

A reminder -- Advanced Stock Kernel is only for unlocked bootloader -- do not attempt if you have a locked bootloader!

Even though I was successfully able to install your ROM through TWRP recovery, however, I am now facing recovery issues in Touch CWM and TWRP in that I am not even able to make a backup, flash zip etc.

What is the solution for me? I am already on 5.1.1 with this pre-rooted zip.

Many thanks

Recovery zip

Did you installed the recovery zip?
[Xperia Z General] savethequeen019:
5.1.1

HI,

I followed all the instructions step by step, i successfully got 5.1.1 but I'm not rooted anymore,recovery is missing.

Thanks, what to do next?
[Xperia Z General] obs3rv:
I succeeded in getting 5.1.1 + root + recovery + Xposed (on a locked bootloader) by using PRFCreator 1.0 in legacy mode. I think the OP created the zip using PRFCreator in the sinflasher mode, which didn't work for me. I used the program to build an update zip from the Customized IN ftf (obtained via XperiFirm), the latest Xposed framework for Android 5.1, SuperSU and XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 and flashed it via TWRP 2.8.7.0 from XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 (CWM gave me a missing UUID link error).

As a result Xposed Framework is working and I have root as well as recovery. I appear to be able to create a backup using PhilZ.

This PRFCreator thing is pretty cool if one can get it working . . .
[Xperia Z General] armutyus:
Something is wrong but i can't find it. After i install this zip, i got only wallpaper. No apps, no icons, no lock screen, anything but wallpaper. Beside that i can't use my backup too. How can i restore my backup?

Xperia Z C6603, 10.6.a.0.454, rooted, locked bootloader. Used twrp for backup and install zip.
[Xperia Z General] Olawarley:
Flashed successfully with root still intact. Thanks!

Although, I'm not sure if I have Xposed Framework as i can't see Xposed Installer apk..... Are there still some other process I need to follow?
[Xperia Z General] blkcr:
That happened to me, I just reflashed the ROM and rebooted. BUT I had no root and no recovery, I just fastbooted it the Advanced stock kernel (ONLY FOR UB!!!!), then flashed the root file and xposed.
[Xperia Z General] boyq:
Please confirm if you lost recovery after flashing this via TWRP as I'm making a back-up.

My microusb port is already loose so I can't really use the computer for flashing in case i lose recovery.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] Olawarley:
Who's got Xposed after flashing the pre rooted zip? I can't find it!
[Xperia Z General] boanoite:
Xposed

You have to install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk,just download it and install like a normal apk!

---------- Post added at 11:30 ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 ----------

That happened 2 times with me,just had to downgrade to 4.4.4,then root, instal twrp, etc...and flash the room again! Now i am all good!

Dont forget to install the recovery fix zip!

P.S. Do you have recovery? If yes just flash the room again! If recovery doesnt work,flash it via flashtool,then if it gets working install the recovery fix!

Hope it helps!
[Xperia Z General] armutyus:
Yes, i did it already but if i do that i lost my all data. But i don't want to lose my settings, data, or anything. So i just restored my backup and waiting new methods :)

[Xperia Z General] boanoite:
Hi again

I didnt loose my data or settings,just try this.

1st remove all apps from xposed,then reflash the room.

2nd install recovery zip fix from the op,and install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk,then install all your apps from xposed again!

Hope that helps,btw i didnt wipe data or cache before flashing,nor after,so i have all my settings and that!

Ok. I had to start from a stock rooted 5.0.2 w/ TWRP 2.8.7 via latest XZDualRecovery to get this working.

I was previously on stock rooted 4.4.4 w/ an older TWRP version. I don't know which exactly, older ROM or recovery version, is causing the flashing error.
