This guide leaded me to brick my Z5, he is using a wrong kernel.

Thanks to [MENTION=811738]nilezon[/MENTION] he made a fixed Z5 kernel image and helped me to fix my phone.

I do have root now, and I believe [MENTION=811738]nilezon[/MENTION] will write a how-to guide.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
I'm not entirely sure if this works or not (whether the command is for nexus devices only or not), but according to Android documentation you can 'disable' dm-verity via fastboot with the command "fastboot flashing unlock". I don't know what the differences between that command and fastboot oem unlock are, all I do know is that flashing unlock wipes user data. I do not know if fastboot flashing unlock will wipe DRM keys either so please don't ask.

Also, the official line from cmd when I run 'fastboot' is "flashing unlock unlocks the device. Allows the user to flash any partition except the ones the are related to the bootloader."

Hopefully this helps someone work towards a viable locked bootloader root method.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knux14:
Impossible for now. Maybe never, no the real thing to do is fix xposed which is vital
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilezon:
I got Xposed partly working. Some apps FC, but no reboot.

I think Xposed would work fine if we deodex the ROM, but I couldn't get my deodexed ROM to boot.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knux14:
How did you installed xposed ? I tried the old unofficial zip for arm64 (maybe that's why, I through it was one) from romracer
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimDawg:
Is anyone that has unlocked their bootloader able to tell those that haven't any negative effects they've had since doing it.

I'm really keen to root my phone but am currently reluctant to as I don't know what features I'm going to lose.

I'm not too fussed about the camera but I've read that the PS4 direct play is also effected. Anyone able to confirm this.

Also, people are saying xposed isn't fully working. What exactly doesn't work. Xposed is the main thing I want to root my phone for but if it's not working then I'll hold fire.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knux14:
Damn what do you not understand ? You loose BionZ (Enhancement for low light camera), sound is less high, ps4 controller can't be used anymore and no more screen mirror.

For Xposed I haven't installed it yet, looping after booting for me

Won't BackupTA eventually work for Z5 allowing us to unlock BL to get root and relock it afterwards then backing up TA partition?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
Not sure if you're familiar with how backup TA works or not. But in simple terms, unless we get locked bootloader access backup TA won't ever work as it needs root to run and after unlocking the bootloader you don't have your DRM keys (what are in the TA partition).
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkmasterchilla:
Got it thanks mate ! Sony is making it real hard. James Bond certainly needs a rooted phone in order to install custom MI-6 safe ROM and all the spy apps. Would he therefore have unlocked his bootloader and lost drm ? Hum..
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilezon:
Lower sound levels - is that really confirmed?

Screen mirroring (at least Miracast) can be fixed on unlocked BL, I have heard (but not confirmed yet).

Xposed is working now for me. You need to let the phone bootloop twice and it will then work :)

Some Sony apps seem to FC though.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knux14:
On the Z5 I have no clue but on my friend "Z" it feels really low.

Screen Mirroring woud be nice yeah, since it's an Android feature I would think this would be recoverable...

Xposed is not working for me even after letting him bootloop :(

Btw when you uninstall Sony's apps with Titanium backup, they auto-reinstall.. Any clue why?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azdian:
which xposed file you flashed? I can't get it to work.

Z3+ and later has /oem dir and Sony puts some apps (aka bloatware...) in it.

Maybe they are located in some dir of /oem.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knux14:
Mmh actually I don't think they are stored on the device, because the first time I connected them to internet they auto-downloaded..

In /oem there is only the deletables apps, which are already removed.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azdian:
The Camera keeps Force-closing after installing Xposed.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilezon:
Setting SELinux to permissive will most likely solve that, but it has to be done at boot time, and therefor requires a special kernel.

I've talked with jimRnror, the OP of DRM function restore for Z-Z3 UB. They are working on making the mod functional for latest fws. As he said, chances are slim and there is no ETA (yet), so maybe you smart guys can pick in on that to come with a solution for 64x xperias. :)

Everyone with already unlocked BL would love to have DRM functionality back, especially the advanced camera functions (I know I did when I unlocked my XZ).

Anyway it's just an idea, you guys know better. Your work really made my life easier, so thanks a lot, I hope I can be of assistance on further testing. :D

Hey there after i tried to debrand my Z5 i noticed the following message in Flashtool:

Apart from the fact, that after trying to dump TA parition 1 the flash has been somehow canceled - this wouldn't be a way of getting the drm-keys out so that they can be backed up?

Sorry if this idea sounds silly, but sometimes the silly ideas are the greatest :P
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
As far as I'm aware it isn't possible to backup the TA partition via flashtool in the method described. I've never heard of flashtool being able to make a TA dump either. I will look into this a little bit more later on tonight.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seelbreaker:
thx.

Just a notice on this part - i had to revice my Z5 with the Sony PC Companion because this way of flash somehow softbricked my Z5 (created the firmware via xperifirm in the flashtool and let it do its job).

Alright... I've tried both AndroPlus' & bazhip's root and here's the result (since I'm a newbie and has no permission to reply in original posts):

My device:

Xperia Z5 Dual - E6683 - 32.0.A.5.19 - from Hongkong.

Has enabled encryption (phone only, external SDCard excluded)

Has only 1 SIM.

I tried bazhip's recovery. I could boot into it, but the password always "wrong". Sideload was not working either.

I haven't tried AndroPlus' recovery.

Since I couldn't install zips in recovery, I tried the `fastboot flash boot xxx.img` way.

First I tried AndroPlus' v3, then I got a bootloop after the lock animation, before the password screen.

Then I tried v2, same result.

Then I tried bazhip's kernel. The result is that I got a successful boot, but the system can no longer recognize my external SDCard. I've tried to pull it out and plug it again many times and reboot many times, no luck.

Now I'm trying to recover to stock kernel to get my SDCard back. I cannot found 32.0.A.5.19 ftf for E6683, only 32.0.A.5.19 for E6633 & 32.0.A.6.152 for E6683.

I extracted the kernel.sin from the 32.0.A.6.152 ftf, but it could be flashed by neither flashtool nor fastboot, said "not a bootable image".

I tried to use flashtool to flash the whole 32.0.A.6.152 FTF, and failed by the same message.

So... I'm now stuck here...

EDIT: I've upgraded to 32.0.A.6.152 via XperiFirm, and tried the kernels again. Nothing different...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitetrefoil:
Continuing on feedback...

My device is still the "Xperia Z5 Dual - E6683" from Hongkong. But I've already reset my phone to disable the encryption.

I've tried AndroPlus' v4 kernel today. I can boot into system, but no SD card still.

I've tried bazhip's 2015-11-17 version, this time, I've got a bootloop... After the SONY logo, screen turned off (no backlight), the red LED flashed for a few times, then keep on for 1-2 seconds, then the backlight on (screen is still blank) for 1-2 seconds, then power off.

The previous version of bazhip's kernel has no this problem but has one same as AndroPlus' one, no SD card.

i dont know why samsung devices once released they get root and all the good stuff without all this nonsense of drm keys and TA and other things, my quetsion how long in average does it take for root for locked bootlader does it usually take

i am not happy to root that i have to unlock the bootloader
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Could be months, years, who knows
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitetrefoil:
I guess the reason is quite simple - SONY just won't risk leaking most important technics (like Bravia, camera de-noise, PS related) by allowing them appearing on unlocked or rooted devices.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xajel:
^^^ This is true, but these TA backups has already been done successfully with older Z phones.. and peoples had these files ( including DRM keys ).. but nothing happens...

The problem is Sony does not understand that peoples wants to enjoy rooting/unlocking the bootloader.. but they don't want to miss Sony experience they originally wanted by having this phone... and most peoples actually does not care about DRM keys as long as these won't affect Sony's experience...

and 50% of these peoples actually only wants root... and later at the end of the phone life, they might unlock the bootloader

If Sony can do like dual security, something that can't be accessed even with root and unlocked boot loader ( like it needs special hardware ) and save their TA stuff there so peoples can do what ever they want...

AFAIK Sony is the only manufacturer that will make you loose features by unlocking the bootloader... and they pretend to be developer friendly !!

Agree... When I got my Z5Dual, I went to unlock it directly. I know it will cost some lacks of features. I do care about some of those features (e.g. de-noise). But it simply just won't match the desire for root at all.

Hi,

I am new on XdaDevelopers. I have moto g2 xt1064 (single sim). Currently i am running 5.0.2.

I didn't used 3G on this phone for almost a year after buying it.. few months back i tried to use 3G services on it, i installed network settings provided by my service provider and my area had 3G coverage but network type remained as EDGE.. i didn't bothered it at that time..

last week i rooted this phone (unlocked boot loader etc) because i had some battery drainage issues. I Finally made my mind to use 3G services. I installed network settings for 3G. Checked preferred network type as 3G but still i ended up on EDGE. I am not getting H or H+ sign instead i only see e sign with signal bars.. i know its not an issue of 3G coverage because at same place i put the same sim card in moto g 1st gen and it instantly showed H sign..

Also in About phone>> Status>> Cellular Network Type is showing EDGE.

I checked APN settings it was OK..

My baseband version is : MSM8626BP_1032.3112.97.00R RETYSA_AWS_CUST
