[Root] [Recovery] [Wipe-optional] 4.4.4 KitKat SGP311/312 10.5.1.A.0.283 VMo US, EU1

Xperia Tablet Z 4.4.4 KitKat Rom - Pre-rooted - Includes Recovery
For SGP311 and SGP312 - Wiping is optional​
** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **​
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.15.0 or higher
Rooted SGP31X (on any other previous Android version) with custom recovery (i.e. XZDualRecovery) installed.
Previous firmwares up to 4.4.2 can be rooted with towelroot.
If your current Rom doesn't have recovery, follow step 10 of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53063218&postcount=14 with tablet in USB debugging mode (step 4 of the same post).
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.
This ROM is pre-rooted and comes with recovery. Other than that it is identical to stock rom.

Use the link that matches your tablet model. You only need the zip and ftf files. The txt file is just the checksum if you want to verify that your download is error-free.
Instructions:
0- Backup before you start messing with your tablet!
1- Put system.flashable.zip in /sdcard of your tablet.
2- Keep SGP31X_10.5.1.A.0.283_VMo US_CA_PR_NoSystem.ftf on your PC.
3- Disconnect any USB cable that may be attached to your tablet.
4- Reboot to recovery. Preferably to TWRP, but you can make CWM work too.
5- Do not wipe anything.
6- Once in recovery, flash system.flashable.zip.
7- It is important to TURN OFF the tablet after this step.
8- Find and use the Power Off option in the recovery and turn your tablet off. In CWM based PhilZ Touch it is under "Power Options" -> "Power Off". In TWRP it is under "Reboot" -> "Power Off". If you see your tablet rebooting, force it to turn off by pushing the power and volume up keys simultaneously (or however else you can!)
9- Open Flashtool 0.9.15.0 (or higher) and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
10- Navigate to where you have saved SGP31X_10.5.1.A.0.283_VMo US_CA_PR_NoSystem.ftf
11- If you do not want your any of your current data to be wiped uncheck all the items under the "wipe" section. My recommendation however is to wipe.
12- Now flash this ftf with your tablet in flash mode. To put your tablet in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
13- Reboot. You are now on rooted 4.4.4.

Can I flash this on SGP312?

Kindly request if you could make also a flashable zip with any European rom

You can and it is not going to break your tablet but there are small differences between the two fimwares. I added a link for SPG312 too.

Flashed and works good on SGP312
Thanks!

It worked perfect !
Thank you very much !

I wasn't going to update to 4.4.4 until you offered this solution. Swapping kernels,etc., re-rooting, reinstalling recovery was just more work than it was worth and had the potential to brick the device. Your approach is brilliant! Thank you very much.
However, I am not able to boot into recovery.

Thank you very much for the easy-to-follow instructions.
It worked perfectly on my SGP312. Fully rooted 4.4.4 Kitkat.

How is it performing for you compared to omni rom?

I wouldn't be able to compare it to Omni as I haven't used it. Actually, I havent used any AOSP 4.4.4 version. But I can say that 4.4.4 stock so far it has worked pretty well.
There's no lag anymore in the options menu.
Battery seems to last as much as it did on 4.4.2, but I'll update this info after some more testing.
Stock launcher feels smoother, although I use Nova Launcher Prime.
I haven't noticed any bugs for now. Perhaps the only thing is a quite short, recurrent distortion in the sound when playing music, but I had that issue in 4.4.2 as well. Haven't found any info on that.
I'll try to report more as I continue using it.

Tanks man for the feedback. Will you be re-locking the boot loader for the DRM xperia engine, is that possible?
I am really glad that we have this option available to us now

yep! it's possble with BackupTA.

I'm surprised to hear there is occasional static sound with a stock ROM from Sony. Can you pleas elaborate as to the problem?
Also, if I follow this tutorial will it automatically relock my boot loader? I'd prefer to keep an unlocked boot loader until I have had opportunity to test drive.
I'm very pleased with my Omnirom ATM. Am curious to try though.
Thanks

Not completely related to the OP, but this is the first time I've upgraded a device that I had encrypted. Following all the steps, my device is now stuck in a bootloop. TWRP is unable to mount the encrypted partition w/ the passphrase I had set.
Anyone else experience this, or better yet have experience with this in general?

I got my stock 4.4.4 rooted, but unfortunately not with this ROM. Below are my thoughts on what the problem may be.
system.flashable.zip only includes TWRP 2.6.*, which apparently has issues mounting encrypted partitions. These issues are solved in TWRP 2.7; can the OP update system.flashable.zip to include 2.7?
For those who still want to use this ROM, after flashing system.flashable.zip, I'd immediately install dual recovery before rebooting. I've not tested it myself but it's my theory for what will work.

[Q] HELP! Xposed Not WORKING!

help, xposed not working
Hi.
i cant download the Xposed framework.
i have slimsaber running on a OnePlus One.
i can't share a logcat, because when i reboot after flashing the zip, i get a popup: unfortunately, com.google.android is stopped.....
what can i do?
my phone is not even rebooting normally (i get infinity number of pop-ups)!!
and my adb drivers are all fine, when i restore from backup via TWRP, everything is fine and the adb is working...
PLEASE HELP I NEED XPOSED SO BAD.

@rovo89 maybe u can help!

If you can't live without xposed then change roms. Other than that your post makes no sense.

its alpha, he said flash if you want to risk bootloops..
hopefully you used recovery to backup your rom & data, because you're most likely going to have to flash your rom again.

i did a backup.
everything is fine now, but i want xposed.
the .jar file is a must?
because i didnt install it.
maybe it's the reason that its not working?

probably nothing, it isnt working on my lg g3 either, others reported its working for them on the same device, so i'm in the same boat as you... BUT i understand it's the first release for lollipop, its expected to have issues & i'm patient enough to wait for more advanced releases before i start asking why it isnt working for me.
at this point of time, you're spamming.
.jar for is for module developers.
btw, some modules work for some roms but not for others, so it may be your rom, might be my problem too, but ee have to wait for a better than alpha release.

[DISCUSSION] Xposed for LG 6.0 phones not working

Affected devices:
- G4 all versions
- ? (More LG phones updated to 6.0 comming)
Affected ROMs
- Stock 6.0
It seems that some deodexed ROMs have Xposed working
We'd like to know how users can help on this, We can provide you with stock files so you, developers, can work.
Typical case:
Yakandu said:
Xposed SDK 23 for LG G4 is not working, the phone gets stuck in bootlogo. Lot of people is reporting this
"More info:"
Stock LG G4 6.0 ROM, international 20A variant. (The common one), Rooted and Bootloader unlocked.
xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64.zip isntalled with TWRP after flashing the firmware.
After flashing and wiping cache and dalvik, the phone boots and gets stuck on the bootlogo (LG logo shining and LED pulsating).
So i rebooted to TWRP and flashed "unistall Xposed" by rovo and it booted again.
Here you have people with the same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593/page43
Maybe LG did the same as samsung and touched ARM or ODEX files?

Hell yeah! Good idea to start a thread I have exactly the same problems (Stuck on LG-Logo Screen with LED flashing blue).
Didn't even try the uninstaller zip from rovo89 (restored backup within twrp). Would be so nice if somebody found a solution or a workaround until rovo maybe fixes it. Would be nice if help is gathered here

I don't own a G4 to test, but you guys tried this?

Ok thank you. Good to know. I think we might just need to wait for another version of the xposed.zip. Maybe the next one will work for us. Just be patient But if somebody finds a way I wouldn't say no to it

The only working version i've seen so far is this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649
I backed up and then dirty installed over my previous stock MM 20a
I had some memories app force closing but other than that it seems to work well

Hey. Just stumbled over this thread. Maybe this works for you? I'm too scared to try it myself Don't wanna brick it. But I think I'll try it later. I'll report if it's working or not. Cheers
EDIT: Flashed it, but had many fc's like bluetooth not working, several apps and smart notice and restored backup. Think I'll wait until official version is running on our phones. But anybody who wants to try it - go ahead! In the thread there are several posts about how to get everything to work I just don't want to mess up things and will wait for the official part

so it is the odex files... not good for us

Z1 compact 5.1.1 xposed bug? And a question.

Hi guys! I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact phone. So my story begins when I installed a stock Android 5.1.1 on it, and I tried to install the original Xposed, but after booting it showed the SystemUI/everything fine for a sec, then it all got black. However, I could uninstall it, and install an unofficial Xposed by romracer. Anyway, that was a couple months ago, and now I saw it there is a version 79.1/80 and I'm asking that if his version worked with my phone, would this Samsung version one could work with mine? I can't find any Xposed frameworks by romracer anymore. I have v74 by the way (20150911).
So, what do you guys suggest?
Oh, and on android 5.0.2 the official Xposed worked fine. Maybe Sony changed some things since then...
And I don't know what was the problem with the original one, I couldn't do anything on my phone. (No logcat or anything.)
Or maybe the new original version would work?
Thanks in advance guys!

Use the latest official Xposed version from rovo89 (v80, SDK22) instead of any romracer versions (which are outdated by now).

^yeah I know they're outdated. Then should I take the risk, and try to flash the original version? Like I said, my whole phone went black with the original one back in September (the screen was on though)

Yeah, there have been lots of improvements since September. Make a complete backup in recovery, flash the latest official Xposed framework and wipe cache/dalvik afterwards.

[ROM] Stripped G530AZ Cricket/AIO/TU (285mb)

base rom is the deodex posted earlier
debloated everything you can get from the playstore, then removed much much more., too much to even try to list.
cherry picked and scavenged pieces and parts from various roms. even resampled a few ringtones, to bring you the smallest, simplest, most lightweight rom I possibly could....well over 800mb of free ram!
i dont think i broke any menu options, but if you find any issues let me know and ill see what i can do
Install via flashfire and wipe everythig including third party apps
Initial startup is only around 2-3 minutes
DOWNLOAD LINK
If for whatever reason you want to go back to stock i put together a prerooted zip you can find here
(or go back to stock via kies/odin)
Enjoy
-D

Crap, I guess I broke the camera somehow...I'll try for a fix later on today

Which Lollipop you used? If it's 5.1.1, it shouldn't have problems, but if it's 5.0.2, of course it wouldn't work, because 5.1.1 and 5.0.2 have different sdk, if that's the problem, try search xposed samsung odexed at xda.

Yea I got it thanks tho... It's 5.1. 1....im not sure why but I for some reason thought a deodexed Rom would use regular xposed and not need the Wanam... I went and installed that version and everything is working great... Anyone having luck with the Bootloader on this?

If I flash the prerooted stock will the custom status be shown? Thanks

Tested on Sm-g530h xxu (sounds crazy)
I wanted a smooth and small rom so i tested this one , i flashed it then i booted ,but i was stuck on cricket logo for about 12min then i rebooted to recovery (twrp)and restored "boot" from my stock backup then it booted .
system ui has stopped shows up every 2 sec, phone stops too , camera if focused the flash doesnt turn off even after closing camera and no status bar , everything was missed up . its a small question but is there a chance to make a mini rom for this model(most used model)?

recovery problem
hi, is there a custom recovery specifically for this model?, cause i want to flash this rom, but whenever i use flashify it reboots on the stock recovery and nothing happens.

Is it necessary to wipe everything after flashing?
Also, will flashing this remove root and/or Xposed?
