Hi, and welcome to the xperia z corner.
As far as i can see it theres a small problem with win8 and the drivers ( see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 ->tutorial part 2)
Additionaly, this thread might be helpfull too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283673
can't guarantee any of it though as i'm still on rooted fw .434 (doomlords exploit, as mentioned in the second thread) and wait for the ota update to show up in my area (unbranded, germany).
hope i could help, and have fun with your new XZ.

thank you for ur help...windows 8 was driving me nuts so i tired flashing with win7 laptop & it worked like a charm......now it seems i have a new question... i am on the 350 firmware & rooted & custom recovery installed can i now install the 434 update via ota or do i have to flash through flashtools

That's actually the exact same way i ended up with FW .434, by getting the ota update after rooting the previous one with doomlords method.
I DID install another app called Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper (just in case) that is supposed to ensure that the system stays rooted even after an ota update.
If you're using SuperSU there's also an option called "survival mode" which should do the same thing as the rootkeeper app.
i'm not sure if that rootkeeper stuff is really neccessary, but i guess it can't hurt

i just ran into another snag.... i just flashed pureXaudio & now my recovery doesnt start...i had cwm recovery for locked bootloader.... i tried reinstalling it but it says recovery already installed & quits
installed dual recovery & tried to do a restore from a backup i created before the purexaudio but after the restore was done i tried to format cache & it was stuck there for like 10min....did a reset by holding power & volume up & after that my phone is stuck at bootanimation.....it doesnt go into a bootloop its just stuck at the animation....i tried to go back into recovery & wipe dalvik cache which was successful & then i tried to format cache but the same thing happened & now i cant get into recovery at all & its still stuck at bootanimation.......i am currently downloading a global .350 firmware for c6602 to flash through flashtool.....its gonna take 3hrs.....in the meantime... if anyone has a solution i will be very grateful.....this is freaking me out....i hope i didnt brick it or something

[Q] Problem installing latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569)

Hi, I would like to post a request of solution to a problem faced by a number of Xperia Z series devices users out there. For the latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569) from SONY, the OTA update could not be installed despite being able to be downloaded successfully. The file size is 318MB for my ZL. Once completed the download the phone will reboot itself into its recovery and soon after a few seconds it reboots itself and give an undismissable notification of "could not install". As reconfirmed with other users, root does not seem to be the problem. No official comment was given and close to none from XDA. Could anyone please help with poor users affected by this issue?

I'm not sure, but I think it's the CWM or TWRP, perhaps it's the boot.img ... don't know.... To update to newest FW follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850

Am using stock recovery...….so don't think it is related to the recovery...

u said u did it ota so umm have u tried via pc companion to update ure phone ?
if youre not rooted may i suggest using pc companion or flashing the ftf via sony ericson flasher (sony rom ) required to update the phone

Beside you can also use EMMA, but think this will reset your phone to factory defaults.
For my phone it installed an older build (0.244) and then I was able to get the latest FW by OTA.

[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.
Download links:
SGP311 US_CA_PR https://mega.co.nz/#F!dhMBkRpC!qAsRR7WXJlKwsUwBuv1vig
SGP311 EU1 https://mega.co.nz/#F!p4FzQaqQ!o88OJPX4SyAYOUM3PMb5_A
SGP312 US_CA_PR https://mega.co.nz/#F!El8QnQxC!BlkadNT5FWGF3dLfCbD4mA
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.
Credits:
I only put the files together. All the credit should go to XDA's [NUT] and DooMLoRD and many others...

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] Root Xperia-Z C6603 4.4.4 [Locked Bootloader]

Hello there, iam finally on 4.4.4 and i want to root the phone now, and so far iam quite aware of the process, atleast i think that iam, but check it for
yourself:
1) Getting lastest Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php ( 0.9.18.2)
Btw. i dont get this : "Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only."
What do i really need to flash kernel .233 andn reflashing the .283 afterwards? 0.9.13 or the latest one? dont really get that one, and wouldn't like to hardbrick my C6603 neather...
Do i need the seperate "Flashtool-Driver"-Package or is that included in normal Flashtool-Package?
2) Getting rather the the "Kernel only" or a Stock-FTF .233 and uncheck everything except the Kernel.
3) Getting "Easy-Root" and enabling USB-Debugging on the Z, running Easy-Root and connecting the Z to the PC when Easy-Root says so...
Waiting... Reboot and Checking root-access via root-checker.
4) Getting stock-ftf or Kernel-only for .283, reflashing it.
5)Installing SuperSu, and be happy(?)
Further Questions:
6) Do i need an internet-connection when running Easy-Root on the HOST (aka PC)?
7) Could i theoretically remove root-access again after i modified Android to my like? (Removing Bloatware and installing Adwall/Adaware/Xprivacy) or woudn't this work out? E.g. No root, no more root-apps?
Thank you for your time and help!

Hey thank you for the reply but i've read this thread before, but it doesnt really answer the few questions that stayed unanswered to me
Like:
1) Which version of Flashtool do i need? Does it have to be 0.9.13 or can i download and use the latest variant available (see the Quote regarding 0.9.13)
2) Do i need an internet-connection on my PC to run the "Easyroot-Exploit"?
3) After removing the bloatware and installing some stuff that needs root (Adwall,Adaway,Xprivacy) can i remove root again(SuperSu Unroot) without losing the functionality of this previously installed root-apps?
Thats basically all that is still open to me, other than that everything is pretty clear
Thank you!

1. Use the latest version, which is currently 0.9.18.2. I linked to the Flashtool thread in my guide for a reason.
2. I don't believe so. Just use the built in root tool in Flashtool instead if you like.
3. No. You cannot unroot if you want to continue using apps that need root.

Thank you, that clears up a lot
I thought once you've granted them (Root Apps) permission they keep them, even if you unroot right after.
I guess there are no Questions left :highfive:

I rooted my device yesterday with kingroot successfully, but I reverted it and think I will root it this evening with the old known method. I read, that there could be a method to uninstall kingroot after succesfull rooting, and you can install super su over playstore and nuts dualrecovery over pc. Maybe you can try it and say if it works
I have a Problem with kingroot, cause it installs a chinese app, that I dont understand, cause I cannot read chinese. So I reversed root and deinstalled everything from kingroot.
But I think here in xda dev the trust kingroot. I have problems, cause I dont understand chinese I prefer the classical method to root.

latest dual recovery .17 not working properly LP..
I tried the latest dualrecovery on LP on xperia zr c5502.
And i tried to take backup by both recoveries:
1. twrp :- in this recovery ,its not able to detect the system and then obviously failed to take backup.
2 cwm :- in this recovery, it takes the backup properly but not able to restore it.
Tried both process 2 or 3 times with proper installation.
