Why don't buy normal ZU and root/flash to GPE?
Very hard to flash to GPe. Many bricked their phones doing so.Sony XPERIA™ Z Ultra | Official Thread V8, Android 4.4 KitKat Now Available!

QUOTE(Xirality @ May 3 2014, 04:03 PM) Is it? Never flash Sony phone before so I thought procedure is same with other Android phones. I've been toying that idea on my previous C6802 and found just too risky. I sold it cheap. Just last week, found someone selling the GPe and I bought it. Loving it since. No SOD, bugs and faster due to less weird crap apps. Now, 1 problem, KK disabled SD card write for 3rd party apps. On Sony pure ROM, also same issue but Sony apps can write onto SD card under Settings > Storage. |

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ May 3 2014, 04:39 PM) one should not afraid of bricking their phones if they done it right. No use to me since already have official GPe device. EDIT : like what uncle benny said, there is a tweaked GPE ROM that is easy to flash. |

Anyway, not planning to root the GPe because unable to backup TA partition. Otherwise will lose both X-Reality and ClearAudio+.
Waiting for exploit type root. This post has been edited by acbc: May 3 2014, 05:35 PM |

Getting bored with my GPE already. Anyone can recommend some good and stable ROM? I recently flashed my Z1C to Resurrection Remix and found it to be stable and plenty of useful features. Something similar would be nice.

Bad luck. My C6806 GPE stuck at Google screen after updating to 4.4.3 yesterday. Anyone know how to reset back to factory via hardware buttons? I can go into Fastboot but none of the Sony tools will recognize it. I believe these tools are looking for Sony specific ROM IDs.

I converted mine to OnePlus with some CM11S updates. Works great except camera tends to crash from time to time. Planning to shove this phablet into my car permanently.

QUOTE(ahnee92 @ Sep 3 2014, 10:12 AM) lol, i think i guessed right then, so I hv a few questions to ask 1. Yesi) U running stock rom right? current 4.4.4? ii) How u open yr google now launcher? swipe till the most left, or swipe from home button? iii) GPS working? iv) Many apps still incompatible? source tqvm, appreciate it, becoz i'm planning to grab one from lazada, but a lot question that can't seek proper answer even from google  2. Swipe left 3. Yes 4. Plenty of apps not compatible because of build.prop set to odd dpi for screen. Eg. Mailbox. Now, I already flashed CM11 with S upgrades to turn it into a OnePlus One. |

I find the 2013 Nexus 7 much faster than Ultra in many ways despite having an older SOC. Both devices running on CM11 M10. Waiting for CM11 M11. In gaming department, the Ultra troll all except for One+.
