Got a demo-used Sony Tab Z2 sgp511 a couple of days ago.
It had stock 4.4.2 ROM on it. Was going to update but the battery was to low so i rooted it first. Everything works great.
Charged the Tab, upgraded to the latest stock 4.4.4 ROM, and i still got root, so no problem so far.
Now my binary need to update, but this fails, and i have no TWRP or CWM.
Any good ideas about what could be the problem??
See if this script will do the update:

My bad. The tab is not so rooted as I thought..
Apps gets root (super su shows a toast saying that root is given), but the root don't work.
This is probably why the binary update don't work..
Aarrgghhh...
Any idea how to root the 4.4.4 (.167)??

All versions after release of 4.4 has binary changed so hard to reply on one specific method to get root.
Download Root Master su, root master or iroot.
Select root
Reboot.
You can see kinguser app installed.

I took the OTA last night. I lost root access, but have fixed that and I have root back. It appears that VooDoo Root Keeper no longer is working. Is there another app out there that people are using??
Thank you
No one has any info on this??
Micromods tool will root and install recovery on kk.
Weird. I was rooted, took the ota, and not one thing was affected.
Still rooted as before.
I should clarify also. I was/am completely stock but rooted.

Yeah it doesn't seem to remove root.
I definitely lost root with the OTA. Got it back afterwards with IORoot25.
Hey all!
I'm eager to upgrade my Sony Xperia Z1 to the latest and obviously greatest Android 4.4.4, but I've recently installed so many apps, both root and non-root that I do not want to do this over again. I finally got Timeshift Video working (took me longer than it should have, I'll admit) and I just don't want to go through the process again. So the question is: is there a way to update while keeping all data from apps intact, and will all root apps from 4.4.2 even work on 4.4.4 still?
Thanks in advance!

In order to keep your apps just do not select data before flashing. Now for the root I rooted my phone with a very strange way. I flashed the .108 ftf and then with adb i flashed the doomkernel(v21) to my phone. Then I booted up my phone and enter one of the recoveries (TWRP) select reboot and before rebooting it will give you the option to install super user. After this i powered off my phone (in recoveries reboot options) and connected my phone in flash mode to my computer. With flashtool i went to flash the .108 ftf BUT I didnt wipe anything and i excluded everything exept the kernel. When this finished I booted up my phone and it was rooted.
I just say what i did do not blame me for anything as if you follow my way you do it with your responsibility.(press thanks button if i helped :angel: )
India got This OTA ,
1) should i go for it?
2) will i loose root ( towel root) , ( earlier i lost root when my device upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.1.3, and have to wait too long for east root (thanks to towel root))
3) & do 4.4.2 really worth ?
1.- Why not? it's good
2.- I updated to 10.5.A.0.230 and then used towelroot and I have root, so yeah it's working.
3.- I can't really tell; got my phone less than a week ago so I didn't tried any of the older FW/Android versions. The first thing I did was update to the latest FW
I would say go for it and update it. It's working perfect for me and Inmersive Mode is amazing!

Yes, but since I made a clean install/wipe everything, I lost root. However, on kitkat I just downloaded towelroot and now I have root.
Can i do ota update on rooted .101 firmware. Has any one done it.
Sent from my C5502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Have the VZW G2 rooted on the previous OTA update, now starting to see the nag screen to update again.
Last time, I reverted to stock and had to set up everything again from scratch. I needed root so did that but now at the same point again.
Is there an easier way to update, without having to wipe everything and start over again?
TIA
I was rooted and just installed the update. Went through fine and kept root. All my had to do was install/update xposed framework and reboot to get my modules working again. Aside from xposed I had no modified system files and stock recovery. I had not uninstalled any pre-installed apps, just have a few frozen with titanium.
How did you install the update? I tried the OTA path and it gave some hex error after the reboot

Other than root, are you stock? If so, should be able to take ota with non issue. If you modded wifi hotspot, need to change it back for ota. Did you also install custom recovery?

I didn't have any errors but I have no system files modded.
Thanks mhirsh, you nailed it. I had to restore the stock wifi hotspot app, do OTA update, then do the steps for wifi hotspot again.
It's actually the only root feature I've used for quite a while now. The root uninstallers I've tried have all failed to remove bloatware. I'll be looking at other root benefits to get more use out of it.
And to think I spent days restoring my phone from scratch last update ... lol.

I tired this with no success. So i didnt delete my stock wifi hotspots (apk and odex) just renamed them. I removed my modded one and switched back to original names, rebooted, downloaded ota and it errored when it tried to install. Am i missing a step? Thanks in advance

I couldn't get the OTA update to work until I went back to stock and unrooted. I was rooted with stock except I had performed the audio mod and the tethering mod which modified system files. Once I unrooted and factory reset to stock everything updated fine. haven't rooted again yet kind of waiting for stock lollipop OTA update to show up soon.

You should never attempt OTA unless you are stock (having only root will be ok).
Yeah i had forgotten i had performed those mods after i rooted. Initially i thought i was just stock and rooted. Thankfully pretty easy to go back to stock.
I got this phone today and it did an OTA update. I'm now on 5.1.1. Is it possible to root this phone? I'm don't think Kingroot will work and not sure I want to use it anyway.

If you root you won't be able to install updates anymore
You can root with Droid tool or King root 4.0
If you know how to, do a 100% backup with SP Flash tool
Before you try anything.
Thanks. I read on the Kingroot thread that its not working on 5.1.1. I'm a superuser kinda guy anyway, and not sure I want to use Kingroot. I'll google Droid tool to see how it works.

I can confirm kingroot works.
infinix hot 2 5.1.1
I have the same problem with the same device and king root keeps failing any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've tried the OTA and pc versions.
The update with the November security patch can't be rooted for now. I have tried all rooting softwares I know of (apks & PC) and none worked. perhaps a little more patience?
if you wish to root,
flash twrp
flash superuser zip
I'm presently rooted on 11-03 build
