I have the Samsung Galaxy Relay for T-Mobile. Our last supported version of Android was 4.2.2. I have 5.0.2 on it now and it runs far better with it. Rooting is ridiculously useful, and breaks none of my banking or streaming apps.
[BlackBerry Priv] taiber2000:
rooting is great, but i will admit that i won't necessary need it in this device. but like any other device if someone will want to, they can crack it. it's a matter of time and will.
[BlackBerry Priv] dcwiker05:
What banking and streaming apps did root break for you? The only app I've had issues with is Android pay, which is to be expected. I haven't even had to cloak my banking app, or Xfinity streaming they all work with root fully exposed. There was a launcher of all things a long time ago, that didn't like root, I cloaked it, problem solved. I'm really curious what apps you've found that don't like root.

Sky Go, Barclays Banking and Barclaycard all fail to open on rooted devices. They specifically come up with an error message that your device is rooted and that they wont function on rooted devices. I did try apps such as Hidemyroot but these failed more often than they worked for Sky Go, and never worked for the banking apps.

Never heard of these apps. All my banking apps work on my rooted phones.

Just received my v10 from ATT. Any way to root or install TWRP on it? I see that T-Mobiles version has a unlocked boot loader. Any way to unlock the ATT version's boot loader?

Also anyone notice any differences from the ATT model and the T-Mobile model?

I also noticed that i cant enter a recover mode like on the G2 where you hold down the power and volume down buttons to do a factory restore

Anyone else find the stock USB-C cable difficult to unplug from the phone? One handed removal is not possible for me. This is my first experience with USB-C , so I didn't know if this is normal for the C standard or if anyone else is finding the same thing.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacquestrapp:
The stock cable is a tight fit. I've only used one other USB-C cable with the phone and that one (by Techmatte) is not as tight, it's easier to connect and disconnect. So I think it's the stock cable, and not the phone's port, that's causing the problem.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubcjack:
I found the best way of removing USB-C cable is a direct pull. I had a habit to pull my microUSB cable with a little shaking left and right and I found if you do that with USB-C cable, it actually gets harder to be removed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] JackOfOwls:
Even after a completely fresh install of KitKat 4.4.4 on my Nexus 7 2013, when my tablet goes to sleep, the wifi will not turn off, continuing to merrily drain my battery. Had no such issues under Lollipop. Yes, I have the appropriate setting of Never in WifI settings/advanced. What could be the issue? I use the older android os because I want maximum compatibility with older apps and games.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jago25_98:
My battery doesn't last a day, and when it does run out everything gets wiped.

Is there anything that can be done about this? I install things to an external card but it is still a problem.

Seems a shame. Makes the whole thing useless to me, yet the device can almost do everything I need.

I can't even fix it into my car because that would either drain the car battery or it will run out of power itself.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] LGSilva:
Is your "beam" disabled? That can drain the battery very quickly.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cyberjak:
If your running the original release rom , check to see if your provider released any newer versions. Orange, O2 , and T-mobile all released newer roms that improoved both battery life and bluetooth stability. Also as suggested above, turn off anything your not using directly and turn them on as you need them then back off when your done. Ie: Bluetooth , Ir beam, Wireless. as all are power hungry. Also there are alrger capacity batteries for the BA 3rd party. Another consideration is to keep a watch maybe with a battery meter, PLENTY of frebies out there just google search pocket PC freeware. and watch the internal battery as the ONLY reason you would loose everything when your external battery went flat is if the internal battery got drained or was faulty. as it retains the info while you change batteries or till you can put it on charge and usually the BA will refuse to stay on if it's low.

Another thought just occured too. SPB backup or similar and tell it to Backup the WHOLE thing to your storage card internally if it's not full OR preferrably and SD card if you loose things while your out you can literally restore the BA from the storage card as the backup file is an executable and will fully restore your BA and all it's installed programs kinda like Norton Ghost does for a PC.

It's commercial software but works really good.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Georgepuli:
My two year contract with Verizon expired last week and I'm yet to sign up for a new plan. So currently I'm on the same data plan but on the month to month pricing.

Within 24 hours of my contract expiring, I noticed I can't connect to 4g/lte.I can however get a 3g signal and WiFi is fine. I tried flashing a couple of roms, reflashed bootstacks, and tried playing around with APN settings, but I still haven't been able to get a LTE signal. And it's not the location. I've had no success within a 20 mile radius from my home location.

I don't know if coming out of contract has anything to do with it, buy the timing of it seems to be too much of a coincidence to not consider it.

Any suggestions /tips are much appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaluna00:
I am having the same problem on my VS980. I have tried a 39A ... KDZ flash.. and still in 3g on the stock rom.

before the KDZ i tried Slim Saber, Cloudy 2.2, Extreme.

Could it be the sim card?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

KDZ back to 24A and 4G is back. I will step it back upto 39A and then get back to XDABBEB's rom. Hope this helps.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Georgepuli:
Thanks for the update. Glad it worked out for you.

I replaced the Sim card today and no luck. Tried the Sim in another phone and got LTE. So it's not my account. Even tried switching to another 39a bootstack.

Will update after trying 24a tomorrow. Thanks again
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaluna00:
Still working great. I didn't try just flashing the boot stack I did a full CSE KDZ flash of the 24A firmware.

If just flashing the bootstack and modem work for you that would be great and you wouldn't have to copy all your files to the computer before wiping the phone. Good luck.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Georgepuli:
I finally got it working. Ended up flashing the 39a kdz and got 4g back. Lg_root and the 39a freedom tool got me back to flashing roms. Thanks for the direction on going the kdz route.

What I noticed is that if I flashed my TiBu update.zip file to get all my apps back, it puts me in the same situation. I lose 4g. And I have to do the whole thing over again. Ended up downloading all my apps and restoring data from TiBu individually.

all you have to do is to wait, pray and hope for cm13 to come.

they cant make a rom that looks like IOS, besides they only port the rom to our device.

if you want it, try installing custom launcher?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny95:
A Galaxy Grand 2 developer released a CM13 ROM for that device, and as we know, that device has same hardware specs as ours, so we have to wait a few days until a developer of our device release that ROM, maybe somebody is working in it right now.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikitoGR:
CM13 is WIP, and rox I think is working on it. IOS like? Use themes, you gotta be kidding me. And why this hype of the CM13? It's just Lollipop with some aesthetic additions I'd say. Minor changes have been made. Believe me, there's no need to ask these kind of things. Devs are a step ahead of yours, and they know what they want/have to do. Imagine a dev working only for you. Nuh mate, you can just hire someone instead :)

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antox97:

If you want a ROM with the stability of CyanogenMod and the look of iOS just download MIUI!

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
Thanks goes to [MENTION=811738]nilezon[/MENTION] for giving me the rundown, as it is all from his repos, save for a couple of things to make it work for the Z5 instead.

(Yes, your bootloader has to be unlocked)

Kernel is based on firmware version 32.0.A.6.152

There is two versions of the kernel: one with a recovery script, and one without.

The one with the recovery script will allow you to boot into recovery during your phone's startup process.

To enter recovery:

Boot up your phone like normal. Wait for the LED status light to turn amber. Once that happens, start pressing the volume buttons a few times. This will take you into the recovery menu.

The one without the recovery script does not have this option. This means that your phone will boot up a few seconds faster than the one with it.

Xposed: The Camera 2.0.apk plays nicely with Xposed now. No need to deoxed it manually!

Anyways:

TWRP

https://goo.gl/k9PiFV - TWRP 2.8.7.0

KERNELS

https://goo.gl/wzUAv4 - With recovery script, flashable zip file

https://goo.gl/8LTc9l - No recovery script, .img file that must be flashed through fastboot

For the recovery:

fastboot boot recovery.img

to just boot into it to flash a zip

OR

fastboot flash recovery.img

to flash it (although, you will need to do fastboot boot recovery the first time to get into it)

Kernel:

fastboot flash boot z5_stock_fixed_fixed.img

- For the .img file

The blues are oranges instead, like his, but it is kinda cute.

Have fun.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Snaqejack:
For unlocked bootloaders?

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
Yes.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Ben36:
Technically you can flash the boot.img in the recovery ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nilezon:
It's fairly easy to make it bootable.

Modify your boot.img ramdisk using this code and instructions:

https://github.com/jackfagner/twrp-sony-recovery-boot-script

Then just flash the recovery with fastboot.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
I saw that at the bottom of your post right afterwards :p I'll modify it in a bit here, but I wanted to make sure it was going first. Thanks for making that script!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] yannik~:
Thanks, bazhip.

Can you provide the modified source and a quick run through on how to compile it on github?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
The kernel or TWRP? I'm kinda busy though so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. If you want, look at the dirty ROOT thread for nizelion and my posts. I was pretty vocal about the process and what I was doing, as it was my first time ever doing it. You should be able to follow it, I think.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zwliew:
Were the only changes you made disabling SONY_SECURITY_RIC and DM_VERITY in the defconfig?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
That, and ro.secure disabled and ro.debuggable enabled. As close to stock as possible.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] winkhant:
Can it be use on E6683

Build no - 32.0.A.6.152
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
It's built for the 6653, but I think it should work for the 6683. Give it a shot. If it doesn't, just flash back the stock kernel.sin from the ftf.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] magadaner:
I've applied this on my E6683. All looks good :good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
Awesome! That's what I figured, but good to have confirmation. I'll edit accordingly.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
Is there anything that needs to be changed with the recovery script to work on the Z5? I threw it into my kernel and followed the directions to a tee and I get a bootloop. I saw [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] made a kernel too using your script, so I flashed it to see if it worked and it was fine. I unpacked his boot.img and looked at it and the structure was the exact same. After hitting my head against a wall for a while, I tried repacking his just to make sure I wasn't crazy. The file size between his initial boot.img and the repacked one was a few KB different, and when I repack his, it bootloops too. So then I made sure mkboot tools were working fine and I unpacked/repacked my initial kernel, and it boots just fine.

Then I tried breaking it down:

I took my kernel, unpacked/repacked and it was fine. Then I copied over the bootrec folder, repacked, and it was fine. Then I made sure the symlink was working, so I:

mv init init.real
ln -s init.real init

and it booted just fine.

Then I did the final

rm init
ln -s /bootrec/init.sh init

and repacked, and it bootloops forever :( Any ideas about what is happening?

The only thing I can think of is that I messed up the symlink some how, but I dont know why AndroPlus's works before repacking and not after. Bleh :/

EDIT: **** everything. I ended up using SuperRs kitchen instead. That worked just fine. Noooo idea why mkbootimg_tools failed me.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _Dennis_:
Once I get my Z5 dual (E6683) in I may try to build a kernel specifically for the E6683's. I need to figure out how much I'll lose from losing the DRM keys.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
In the kernel or TWRP?

EDIT: My bad, I spaced on the variants. I thought the 6683 was the baseband variant, not the dual sim. Yeah, I wouldn't roll with this on there.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MeX_DK:
And this is confirmed as working on the Z5 ?. because I have waited for root for this for some time now, and if it works I will be a happy man.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
This is not an exploit, if that is what you are asking. As stated in OP, you need to unlock your bootloader first. The kernel is merely the stock kernel with the security features disabled, which allows you to be able to flash SuperSU. But yes, it works.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MeX_DK:
Trying to follow this and it wont flash the corrected boot. It just keeps saying waiting on device while I am stuck on the recovery screen :/

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Slight warning, I managed to root, but phone decided to vomit all data away, but can someone please make a flashable version of the recovery, since I don't know how to :)?. And is there any timeframe on adding External SD card support?.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] abrahamjones:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Fekajo:
I tried on my E6633, no sim work and sd card too, anybody can build a simple kernel for this device ? Where can i see i tutorial ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whitetrefoil:
By looking into Sony's README file, (like this one: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_kernel_sony_msm8994/blob/sony_sources/README_Xperia), the Dual version has different configuration with single SIM version.

My one is E6683 so I'm waiting for the same kernel as you. But unlike you, I can't even boot with the latest bazhip's build (the previous one can boot but no SD card). And because I have only one SIM card by now so I can't test whether the dual mode work or not.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Fekajo:
I had already seen, I try to do in a week for the E6633 and E6683.

Creates a simple kernel I think I can do it.

These are the changes that will ask me problem.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] bazhip:
Does TWRP work okay? I will build one for the dual sim, but I don't know if I need to rebuild twrp or not.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Fekajo:

Or is there any problem(e.g. NC prob, BE prob, lo light function prob) after unlocking it?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] chrisftlse:
At the time being DRM are lost forever ?

But be confident on Dev.

Marshmallow will probably change current situation.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ianrobbie:
Just thought I'd throw in my experience.

My phone has it's bootloader unlocked and rooting, using OP's instructions, went fine. Xposed is up and running and after a few bootloops is working as it should with my usual suite of apps running in the background.

All good!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] abrahamjones:
Same here, did you guys find a way for better camera pictures?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ianrobbie:
I get a force close whenever I try to use the official Sony camera app. I've had to install a different app to use the camera. Quite impressed with the camera so far, though.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Fekajo:
Hey,

Nobody has succeeded to make a build of the kernel for the dual sim version?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whitetrefoil:
According to the README file, it's should be just a single parameter different to single SIM version. But I guess the reason we cannot get such one is simply because only few people have that device.

I have tried to learn how to build a kernel by looking on AndroPlus' Github repo. But soon I just realized that my skill level isn't even close.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

I've unlocked my BL but hasn't get a root yet. My feeling is that only the image quality in low-light condition will be effect by losing DRM. More specifically, now I got much more color noise compare to before.

Pictures in daylight seem just as good as before.

I saw somebody's said the part lost with DRM is the de-noise functionality, and I've got the same result.

To me it won't be a quite big problem because for some reason I usually have my camera with me.
