ok I installed superSU and it says I do not have root :(

I went back and re-read this:

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904

Seems to me that it says (on step #5) that we need to repack the kernel with TWRP integrated into it....and by saying "no" to TWRP during the script run, I did not integrate TWRP into the kernel.

Am I getting this correct so far?

(on step #5)---

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

First, thanks a lot for helping out, I really appreciate it.

so I installed TWRP's app from their website (apk). Then I downloaded the img. However the TWRP's app says that the phone is not rooted so it cannot do anything.

I confirmed that by superSU also.

What do I do next?

I am wondering if I missed a step :(

I do have the bootloader unlocked, confirmed that in the service menu.
[Xperia Z1 General] rajdude:
I just wanted to add my two cents....

No matter how much I tried........I was never able to successfully root my Z1c using the instructions in the original post in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904

The script was never able to incorporate TWRP successfully, it says it did , no errors......but the resulting image is not bootable as confirmed by "superuser" here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75736359&postcount=120

Eventually, I just used another method to root, and posted about it here

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75741082&postcount=128

BTW, TWRP is still not there on my phone........that project is still ongoing.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

I had the same issue with recovery.

I believe u are rooted successfully. In that case to install recovery here's the process I followed.

Are you able to mount system via root? If so than I got good news for you.

Install flash fire from playstore download nut dual recovery.

And flash via flash fire. U only need root for flash fire to work. It works for me.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bishop72:
I have been out of the root custom rom scene. Just got my Nexus 6p and I remember when I added custom roms in the past there was this app that was added that you could swipe in from the left/right of the screen and it would give you options to go home, move back or forward in screen, bring up a certain app, etc. With a phone like the Nexus 6p that would be great to have. Not sure if current/future ROMS will have this. I think this was called PIE control

Hi everybody, I'm the guy who did this post:

Yesturday, I did an OTA update but my p8000 keep looping. I can't do anything.

Flashtool doesn't seem to work (tried on windows 8 / windows 10) but maybe I did something wrong.

And I didn't check the "enable oem ****" for flashboot. on the setting developper menu.

So, I'll be very happy if someone could help me. I really don't know how to have my phone working again.

Least thing I wan't is to send it to Geekbuying. I don't really trust these guys.

(don't know why)

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I had the same problem flashing visi0nary's kernel. Do you have access to the recovery ? If yes, did you try to factory reset and flash the ROM over ? If yes, and that was my case, maybe your partitions are ****ed up, and you'll have to fix it (I can help you with that).
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
I don't have any recovery. Just the "elephone recovery"... And I don't think there is something like "factory reset"...

Maybe I'm wrong? I'll look.

Oh, okay that's not really convenient ... Maybe you should just try with Flashtool ?

I tried, but it doesn't seem to work.

How do you use it? You just plug the phone? Should it be off (or charge?)? on ? In any mode maybe?

Clearly I'm not the only one who finds this whole tale of yours a bit much to swallow. In some jurisdictions, what you are asking for is illegal, so I can't imagine anyone risking xda-dev over a song and dance about wanting an application for an unspecified class which is "a bit long story to tell".

As has been posted, the instructions for doing what you want are all over and if this is for a "class" then try doing your own homework - but I don't personally believe that story for a minute.

Hi all

Ever since the android 6 update I have noticed that Google play services is always top of my battery drain stats.

Also the mobile radio active figure is always going up and up!

I do have a android wear device synced but I always have and never noticed this is lollipop.

Anyone know what could be causing this? I don't have Google now or location services on

Thanks

Same problem as OP

I am having the same problem as OP mentioned where GP services, Android OS and System are ending up on top of my battery usage stats. I tried various solutions like GServiceFix from the play store, and other solutions from other threads regarding battery drain, but none of them have been consistent so far. Should we just wait for the 6.1 update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exninja:
I just got a Wear device (ZenWatch 2). I was hoping that since I wouldn't have to use the phone as much I'd get better battery life, but this is causing the opposite :S I hope they fix it soon!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
So I just got my phone and am having an issue. When on call pulling the phone away from my face doesn't turn screen on. That might be my glass screen protector. But hitting the power button doesn't wake it either and volume during call doesn't work. I can't hang up or anything until the call disconnects. Anyone have a clue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatboypup:
Yup your screen protector is blocking the proximity sensor take it off problem solved
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
But then why doesn't the power button wake the phone or be able to adjust volume?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splifff:
Because the phone thinks it is next to your ear. Why would you need to turn the phone on when it's next to your ear.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatboypup:
Check the accessory section there's a whole thread about screen protectors that work and Dont work
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
I don't have an answer about the volume buttons but I know that when the proximity sensor is activated during a call, nothing will turn on the screen. Not even the power button.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
Your ambient display is borked with it on too. Take it off if you want the phone to work properly. I had the same issues.

.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
Ambient display is off and I still have the issue. I have always been able to turn the screen on by the power button on every phone I had. How can I turn off the face proximity sensor for call so I can use the power.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
Ambient display isn't related to the function of the proximity sensor while in a call, and I don't know of any way to disable the sensor. If your screen protector covers the proximity sensor, the best I can tell you is to take it off and find one with a cut out for the sensor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
This i understand and I will do it. I just never had an android phone that doesn't turn on during a call by hitting the power button. And I have had android since the original g1.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
You've probably never had a screen protector with a manufacturing defect either. This is actually the first phone I've ever heard of having messed up screen protectors.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie.slayer:
Go to accessibility options and check power button ends call to mitigate the issue if you don't wanna remove the protector
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
Actually my galaxy 3 was the first to have this issue. But I could use the power button. I ordered another protector I will change it out when i get it. Thanks for the advice though.

I'm mostly interested in good battery life, little to no lag, a good camer and a decent/good screen (not that interested in 4K).

All in all, it sounds like the Z5 is a very good choice.

What do you guys think?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwliew:
Xperia Z5 hasn't been too good of an experience for me. It gets pretty warm even during light web browsing, battery life isn't up to par for me, and the display and the camera is definitely worse (in most areas) than the Galaxy S6. I'd say keep your Galaxy S6.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisftlse:
All the inverse for me...

Xz5 is a killer.

Better manufacture quality

More true color display and photo

Plus PSN synchro

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
The other thing to keep in mind is when you come to forums like this you usually only see posts about people with problems so it never paints a good picture the same can be said of any device, is it worth £100 more than your s6 not sure but defo worth considering

I don't think i can wait till next year, as I have a first gen Moto G:rolleyes:

Jumped from sammie i9205

used s6 and z5 or a week.

Winner - Z5

why? i like the design and battery.

You will read alot about problems with z5 but...

well i was samsung fan for many years.

Always was like" bleah wthell" when i was looking at xperia menu buttons.

- it turns out its not a waste of space -

its rly well designed and the buttons desaphere when they should and pop up back when they are needed. 3rd week - used it for games, browsing, google drive and office things, movies.

Its easier to hold z5 in 2 hands w/o pressing anything accidently. The space between screen and edge of phone is perfect for thumbs and the cam button - dmn i love it.

I always rooted / used roms for sammie phones. in Z5 - i unlocked it but than... well i stopped.

Yee yee u loose low light cam quality a little bit. i rly dont notice it. yea it piss me off that i lost some things from system ( even if i dont use them ).

Fingerprint scan is in a dmn good place. Took few days before i got used to new buttons locations.

Screen wont leave u with " hey mr pixel i see u there!" bad taste.

other things like specs and tests etc - are all over the place so i skip thatXD

( sorry for my bad eng :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneflatwhite:
I'm also at the same boat as you, I currently using s6 edge for abt 3 monts now and I just received my Z5 dual 2 days ago. Just fyi I also have LG G4 which I use for ard 5 months. So my opinion will be based ard those 3 devices.

Well, I like the way Z5 handles, it feels balanced and easy to use one-handed, which strangely enough even my smaller s6edge is harder to use as my palm sometimes accidentally tap on the edge screen, and also the capacitive keys, where I believe both problems will not exist on regular s6.

I have a photography hobby, I use full-frame Nikon DSLR, but as they say, the best camera is the one in your pocket, which is my smartphone 99% of the time and the only thing holding me back is the camera quality on z5, when u compare side-by-size, then u zoomed in on the photos u will really notice how bad the image processing on the Z5, too many artifacts and the edges of the object is like its over sharpened, the result is quite similar to G4 but worse. S6 is much much better camera overall, clean pictures with minimal noise and great sharpness.

The worse part is it tends to affect people photos quite badly, which I use my smartphone to take pictures of most of the time, taking those precious moments of my 3yo, even when standing still the details is loss on z5, on the other hand G4 gets most details with most noise but S6 gets almost as much details as G4 without all the noise.

One more thing worth mentioning is that the time when u hit the shutter button until it actually captures the photos is quite slow, even in bright sunlight, I'm not sure whats happening there but I might try a factory reset to see if that helps. S6 is almost instant, while G4 is as fast as s6 in good light but when its not that bright it the worst of the three, it could take a full 2 seconds just to capture the photos.

I read from xda and some other sites that sony is planning on releasing new camera software with new UI, that is my last hope tbh, if that fixes the issue I'm having then I will definetely keep my Z5 as my primary phone. It doesnt have to get s6-quality but at least not this bad.

I'm using Rev.3 unit (stated on the box), some ppl get Rev.4 already which I also dont know what has improved. I'm also using the latest software which is 5.1.1 build no 32.0.A.6.152 model no E6683 (dual sim)

Tbh I will choose Z5 over s6 any day, I like everything about the Z5 over my s6edge / LG G4, well almost everything, the only single thing that holding me back is the picture quality, as I love photography and this is a huge compromise for me if I would choose the Z5.

Hope that helps your decision.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
:cowboy:Keep experiences coming! Threads useful for somebody deciding between the S6 and Z5 also.

If only the 810 didnt ruin this years phones.

And if only the S6 had good battery.

Hows one handed use with the Z5? From dummy models the S6 would seem more comfortable, due to Z5's height.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiborprogmed:
I am on the same boat. I am just thinking of to jump to the Z5 from s6.

But I had a z3+ and that was very underperforming, hot, laggy Snap 810.

And I am afraid of this hot 810 again. I know, the z5 have pipes to drive away the heat. But dunno.....

S6 camera is awesome, and I have never met a person who could say the z5 is better regarding the whole camera. And this is a shame .

Also I have to notice, the Z3's 6.0 concept sw is very good. BUT that would be nice if we could test it on z5. It could help us to make our best choice.

S6's fast charging is awesome too, and I love S6's health app. Booting speed is fastest in android era.

I am not sure about Sony. Will they keep their phone business, and if NO, will they stop SW upgrades ?

S6's big disappointment is the LAGGY interface, wrong multitasking becouse of bad ram management, battery life is terrible. But I have to notice, z3+ had ALL this wrong things too, and that was 810 SNAPPY too.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
If you don't mind my asking, what version of the S6 did you have?

From what I can tell I have one of the worst possible versions, the AT&T version. Signed bootloader and extremely slow updates (Oct we finally received 5.1.1). At this point I think any phone I get would be better lol.
