1) My headphone issue is a software problem. Playing music with the official Sony Music app and DSEE HX enabled gives me a perfect sound, but playing songs trough e.g youtube is aweful.

2) The only things I have to do is unlocking my bootloader and change the kernel to TWRP. I can create a preerooted firmware with this tool (http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904), Ive done this with my Z1C and it was working.

Here is a link to my Z1C installation instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62902914&postcount=88), I think that will also work with the Z5.

Hello,

i was hearing from new king root version. Many People rooting with this all last Android versions on z1 compact(include last 5.1.1),i think its almost the same as z5,can this works perhaps for all z5??

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gamer649:
Kingroot cannot be used to root the Xperia Z5. The firmware on the Z1C differs greatly from the firmware on the Z5.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] karlchen68:
OK, I thought, The most important point is the android version and not the hardware.because most exploits work on different hardware, but on the same Android version excellent.

The android version is one of the most important things with rooting, however just because two (or more) devices from the same company it doesn't mean that the firmware (software) is built the same.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hebbe:
as you're german, in the case of warranty you have to differ between warranty given by law ("gewährleistung") and warranty given by manufacturer ("[hersteller]garantie").

as far as i understood the articles i've read so far, warranty given by law ist NOT lost, unless the manufacturer/seller can prove that unlocking the bootloader is the cause for the demage/failure. e. g. if the bootloader is unlocked, and the headphone jack is worn out, they can't deny warranty -> why should unlocking the bootloader (software) demage the hardware of the jack?

Actually yes it does but that's because of the oxdex rom. You can find on google a tutorial how to make the camera works again (Actually I found it once and never found it again, and not for the Z5)

So indeed it mess the camera but that can be fixed idk how. If you can't resolve it you'll still be able to remove Xposed :/

That would be the obvious starting point, as if Sony left a weakness in one 5.1 ROM, the same weakness may be in the Z5 ROM.

Very short guide

What you need:

-LP stock ROM for your region

-MM stock ROM for your region

-Flashtool with drivers

-ADB drivers

-AndroPlus kernel

-iovyroot

-latest TWRP

-latest SuperSU beta

-drmrestore.zip

1. If you are on MM then you have to flash LP 32.0.A.6.152 or 32.0.A.6.200

2. After flash boot your phone, do basic settings, enable developer options, USB debugging ON, Enable OEM unlock in developer options

3. Do TAbackup using iovyroot follow guide http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597

4. Unlock bootloader (flashtool), flash MM ROM (flashtool), flash AndroPlus kernel (flashtool or ADB), flash latest recovery (flashtool or ADB), flash root (TWRP), flash DRM restore keys (TWRP) all do following this guide http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-sony-xperia-z5-unlock-root-tweaks-t3298224

5. Now your device is rooted with latest MM ROM and with nice kernel, offcourse you can flash other rom or kernel (if present).

6. If You want relock bootloader and backup TApartition, flash stock MM ROM (flashtool or ADB), use tarestore.bat from iovyroot - follow instructions in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66141410&postcount=2

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Falenone:
Might sound stupid but why do I have to oem unlock before the TAbackup? Isn't oem unlock removing ta keys?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zate27:
OEM unlock is just a setting the real thing is the actual unlock process (where you input your unlock code etc) and I think that's when you lose your DRM keys. So don't worry about checking that setting as long as you don't go any further but if you check that setting your "FindMyPhone" functions won't work until you uncheck it.

Ok, Samsung has integrated recording of UHD video for quite some time now, but I've looked everywhere for an app that will allow me to edit a UHD video, even if I want to convert the video to a lower resolution so if someone doesn't have the ability to play back UHD video, at least I could down convert it to HD so I can send the video to others to watch.

I have looked everywhere, and have yet found a video editing app that will allow me to edit UHD videos. Has anyone run across an app that works, with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, or any Android device for that matter, which will allow someone to edit/downscale, etc UHD videos on their device? I'm not trying to find a fully functional video editing application, just one that will at least recognize the type of video it is and possibly allow me to downconvert the video or trim it. If anyone knows of any Android video editing application that works with UHD videos, I would really appreciate a couple of suggestions, unless I'm correct and none exist. Thanks.

I have always been able to perform screen mirroring from my Android phone to Chromecast without WiFi. The initial setup required a second phone, but after that all I had to do was to enable WiFi hotspot in my cell phone, open Chromecast APP and activate screen mirroring. A few days ago Google released a new version of Chromecast APP that checks if WiFi is connected before enabling screen mirroring. This new APP made my setup not work anymore. Does anyone have a solution, other than keeping the APP in the previous version? Thanks in advance!

Hey thorosso, i never had a Chromecast. but I need .

I wanna know if with chromecast I can use my phone as a hotspot , and connect the chromecast it without a third device?

Or if necessary the third device will only make the primary configuration and leave saved or will always need a third device ?

My only function would be to mirror the screen.

I saw the Miracast , but say it is very slow compared to chromecast 2.0.
[Google Chromecast] thorosso:
Yes, you can use it as a Hotspot and mirror your screen simultaneously. First time you will need a second device to setup your chromecast: enable Hotspot in your primary phone and configure chromecast through your second device. That's it! The problem is that after Google updated the chromecast app, it no longer works, because the app disables WiFi before mirroring. So you will have to install previous versions from chromecast app via apk (any version with old icon) and disable auto update.
[Google Chromecast] xxspookyxx:
this is a big **** :(

The old version will work with a Chromecast 2?

I think are bad idea bought the chromecast 2 because this update.

In old version the changes settings were saved? or i always need a third device to make setup?

[Google Chromecast] thorosso:
It will only work in the previous version of the Chromecast app (the one I posted the link). First time you will need a second device to setup your chromecast: enable Hotspot in your primary phone (the one you want to do the screen mirroring) and configure chromecast through your second device (open Chromecast app and configure the device to use your first device hotspot connection). Keep your hotspot turned on. Open Chromecast app in your first device and through the menu, select "Cast screen". That's it!

Don't forget to disable the auto update in chromecast app. Good luck!

I recently went from Motorola Droid to a BlackBerry Z-10 to the kick ass Motorola Droid Turbo... With the BB 10 I can log into Google play and download all the apps that I had and even apps that I didn't have (as long as they weren't apps that were made by Google). So in a sense I had the best of both worlds (being able to run Android apps and BB 10 apps). Does any one know if this can be done on my Turbo as I have some great apps that I purchased from BB? The apps that I would like to retrieve is one that allows me to use my cell as a mouse for my lap top via Bluetooth and the other is kinda the same, but used in AutoCAD and other design softwares.

Also I would like to ask if anyone knows how to utilize both Radios on my Turbo at the same time? Here is an example; I have a GoPro Hero 3 Black and with my Z-10 I could run the camera wirelessly via the WiFi while using my regular network to surf the net. My Turbo will only connect to my camera when the Wifi is selected they I have no internet to check mail or get picture messages ect like I could on the Z-10.. I'm not knocking the Turbo, but just miss a few things..

Watch was working great for a month, until this evening. Went to charge it, kept getting the white "Sorry, Android Wear has stopped" message. Pressed and held side button (while on charging dock) to reboot. Now it won't get past spinning color screen (After the Huawei brand screen). Is there a way to factory reset it while booting?
[Huawei Watch] brizey:
If you have an adb/fastboot set up, boot into fastboot:

Press and hold the side button until it reboots. After the reboot, keep holding the side button until you feel the first vibration. Then quickly release and press it again. You will go immediately into fastboot mode.

You can try:

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

fastboot reboot

This should be the same thing as doing a factory reset. This is based on the assumption that the watch acts like a Nexus device with fastboot commands.

[Huawei Watch] brizey:
Open up file explorer and go to the directory with the image files.

In the Windows start menu, go to Windows System, then right click on Command Prompt and choose run as administrator. Click though the UAC prompt.

Attach your phone via usb to the PC. Most folks recommend using a motherboard USB port rather than a front port or daughter board port.

It sound like your drivers are OK since it can recognize the phone.

Reboot to fastboot. (Turn the watch off, then turn it on, but continue to hold the button. After the first vibration, quickly release then press the button again.)

Use the cd command in the command window to change to the directory where your images are.

ASSUMING YOU HAVE FASTBOOT EXECUTABLE INSTALLED AND IN YOUR PATH VARIABLE:

Type fastboot devices. If you get a device listed you are good to go.

Execute the revised steps in skin1980's thread to flash the images. If you are in the directory where the images are stored, you can just cut and paste skin1980's commands into the command window.

If you need to install fastboot, search XDA. There are threads with minimal fastboot/adb installs. I have not used it, but THIS thread looks pretty good.
