Would like to test this on my e6533 dual, but stuck with unlocked bootloader on 266 firmware. Any good tutorial how to downgrade to 251 and root, or any new root method for 266?

Very big Thank you for any help.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
What version firmware are you using?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
What do you mean you stuck on the unlock bootloader? And also I am using the 28.A.8.266 at the moment, nothing seems to be wrong, I just basically unlock my bootloader and flash the boot.img to root my phone :highfive:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Ok great news :) I already unlocked my bootloader. I know how to flash boot.img. (using adb...) Just searching a proper one(working) on z3+ e6533 dual 28.A.8.266 firmware.

Can you mention the link where I can get the right boot.img for my phone?

May be a recovery.img too? So I can backup and restore when needed?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
well I will upload mine to the website, I will add a link for you when it is uploaded :p

Forgot to say that unfortunately there still isn't a recovery for dual sim users yet :(

we will just have to wait, if you are scared of anything losing on your phone, once it is rooted, use titanium backup to backup everything first :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Thanks, I have all synced on google. Can wipe the device, no problem.

By the way how is your device? How long are you using it? Does it overheat? Mine become amazingly hot when I'm using Skype(specially Video call). Is it ok, or can be some kernel tweaks done to control this?

Best Regards

Ivan
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Files are uploaded on the first page, well it is my regular used phone, I use it everyday, I don't really get much of a problem while I use it ;)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Ok, got it will test it tonight and will report here with the results.

Thank you:angel:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Okay, please do I want to see if it works for everyone as well, also if you love listening to music, make sure you install a Viper4Android, I uploaded on the first page as well :D
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Ok, will do it too ;)

By the way may be is better to install the newer xposed version: xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64 instead of xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64 ? :)

Can my original boot.img be backuped with adb or fastboot? If im right it is available to do only after root?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] jackielam1997:
sdk23 means Android 6.0

So xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64 doesn't mean newer than xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64

For our Z3+ currently, it has only Android 5.0.2, so we should use sdk21(Android 5.0) instead
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
well you dont really have to backup your original one, mainly because if anything goes wrong, you will have to flash the system.sin or the whole tft file again :/
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Ok so the first results:

Got a root after flashing boot.img.

Installed all software needed and flashed xposed (putted ticks only on wipe cache/ dalvik cache)

After application optimization message phone rebooted. Got red light blink (3-4 times) and already stuck on a loading screen(blue background and moving lines) for more than 10 minutes.

Done switch off by holding power + volume up.

Phone booted after

Camera was not updated and not working. Downloaded and installed 2.0 apk. Works, but standart features like: "Style portrait, AR mask, Face in picture, Sound photo" not working

In Xposed installer says: Xposed not compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (arm64-v8a).

Cant run any xposeed modules...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Well I think you must have done something wrong here, maybe yoy should start all over again, what country firmware are you using? I am using the hk version 266, maybe download the hk ftf file and flash it with flashtool first and start again, also it should work on the xposed as well because I have loop the steps like 10 times in my phone, and everytime xposed is installed on my device, maybe give it a try again, if there is any problem again fell free to ask :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Thanks. I'm using United Kingdom firmware. Will try installing xposed with FlashFire again on the current firmware, but will select in addition to wipe System data and 3rd party apps... Because last time I selected only to wipe Dalvik + cache partition.

If no success this time then will try other firmware with flashtool.

Will reply later with the results :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Okay, hope you with good luck and fingers cross :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
After a loong boot (about 15 min) the wizzard is oppened(language, account, wifi...) I was unable to enable wifi. All apps erased. Eventually I done a factory reset. Now waiting while it finishes. Lets hope WIFI will work again.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Seems cleaning system apps data was not a good idea. I lost my wifi function... Tried uninstall and then install xposed. Same effect-> not supported.

So may be it worth a try to install the new 272 firmware? Will it help recover the wifi? Can I flash firmware straight away from the phone external storage?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
So the latest results:

I downloaded the latest HK 272 firmware. Prepared and flashed it with flash tool.

Got "like a new" phone.

Rooted it with boot.img.

Repeated all steps provided:

Installed xposed installer

Installed FlashFire.

used xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64.zip

wiped cache+dalvik.

After some reboots getting the same "not supported" red color message in Xposed installer(Framework module)

More ideas?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Well you have already tried the 266 version right? Btw when you wipe you wipe system storage as well? I don't think that is necessary, also did you flash the dual version boot.img? Try using just the boot.img and see if it make any difference, i know it is hard and you want to give up on it, but i been though that and now it works for me ☺
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
Hm, I always used "boot. img". Is there any difference between them? What exactly you are using?

My original firmware was 266 same hk.

I am not wiping internal sd storage.

May be because of not right boot image I'm used xposed not install?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] krusir:
I did the following ...

flashtoo to flash 28.0.A.8.272_TW

recovery.twrp.2.8.7.0.img

SuperSU-v2.66.zip

xposed-v79-sdk21-arm64.zip

fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img from dualboot ..)

fastboot boot boot.img

all works a while ... but starting encounter crash during I restore my apps .... ( I use Titanium Backup ) Then it went to status boot looping ....

I am now roll back to zrom-v1.1.zip and all other steps mentioned above. This combination will crash/reboot from time to time too ... but much less frequently. I planning to live with this until we have Marshmallow.

I hope later when Marshmallow update released, DEVs will help to get root and xposed working.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Where did you find the twrp recovery, i think it is only for the single sim users only for now, for dual sim users it is not yet working :/

Also i would say stick with the supersu 2.46 i think because that is what i get after flashing boot.img :/
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
because i don't see anything you done wrong at the previous post, so i am not quite sure whats wrong with your device that xposed is not working, or do you want me to upload the ftf that i am using for you? :(
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] septera:
My be my device is newer and has a little bit different hardware?

Is there any good software to get full and exact phone hardware information?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] krusir:
I have E6553 which is single SIM. twrp works fine ... just little bit tedious that we have to have computer with fastboot/adb access to be able to load it. I missing my Nexus 5 which is complete open to all stuffs.

I think my crash is not related to supersu, it also has crash symptom if I keep 2.46.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
Z-cpu is a good software
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Michael_1020:
I recommend you use another firmware, it will work on the 266 hk version no matter if it is single sim or dual sim users
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hussian:
does this work with E6533_28.0.A.8.272_HK?:confused:

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] bruno$0:
Did You tired the correct sdk zip? You Will need use the correct for 5.0.2 Android version. I think it is 21....

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Yes! The xposed doesn't have a version lock. You Just need choose the propor version for your Android version: sdk 21- 5.0.2. Sdk 22- 5.1.1. Sdk 23- 6.0.1. I hope that i help you.

PS. Install the apk and then the framework You must install with flashable zip in recovery.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hussian:
dual sim version does not have a recovery out yet..how should i flash it then?

i did use flashfire...i got bootloop and the red led turns on and off times...and it overheates.

please help.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] bruno$0:
Sure i help you. Until i know exist a recovery for Z3+. it's not depend if you model its a single or dual sim. I already flash many times a twrp international z2/z1 recovery on my Brazillian model ( aka c6943/d6543) and evething works like a charm.

Please, take a look in this topic:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z4/development/twrp-v2-8-7-0-sony-z3-e6553-ivykitakami-t3198009

Use the 1.1 version and flash it using rashr app program for more convenience.

Please, inform if this solve you problem this recovery, then we works on xposed point.

Kind Regards,

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hussian:
it says

"This recovery image is for the E6553 single SIM Z3+. Do not use it on another model."

im not sure if its a good idea for me to flash it on my E6533
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] bruno$0:
The recovery its a Free version for a specific model. I understood that if you have a E65XX you can flash it. Buuuut, I Will check this directly with twrp dev.

When i got the answer i go post a reply.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] super0dd:
Actually I'm a bit curious that how did you root that E6533... Nothing feasible so far for this model I can find.

I have been wondering whether should root it if such a root solution for E6533 does exist, since I guess I can't recover the DRM contents like E6553....

And more accidentally, I'm in Macau, too.

Hello,

Problem - Device keep on rebooting showing Mi logo (every 2 sec), Does not boot into system

What I did?

exteneded system partition to 1.2 gb - success

flash Marshmellow custom rom - success

misinstalled system ui of theme - system ui stopped

reinstalled clean rom from custom recovery - success

then it does not boot into system - keep on rebooting at mi logo (every 2 sec)

tried fastboot rom - failed (remote size too large)

rebooted into recovery

flash stock partition via adb - success

fastboot flash (with flash all) - success (says miflash - operation compeleted successfully)

Still it does boot into system - keep on rebooting at mi logo (every 2 sec)

Help?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.singh286:
if you can access recovery now then go to recovery and take a backup of current rom. The wipe everything except internal storage and then restore the backup.

maybe it'll fix it because thats what happened to me too after flashing the MM custom rom. Every time i was rebooting the phone kept bootlooping at Mi Logo.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroisgod:
Hmm i ll try but i have to install twrp from adb for backup.

Cwm backup not promising.

You think there ll be problem in hardwere?

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroisgod:
fastboot is accessible.

i've flashed fastboot rom from miui. successfully completed. but it won't boot.

yesterday it booted into system so i was charging the phone, as soon as i removed charger it went the same boot looping.

now,

clicking flash_all_except_storage from fastboot command

it shows one line in every process - 'target reported max size 80909989 '

process goes on and success.

but does not boot into system. same bootloop.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroisgod:
one strange thing is,

when i connect to pc, - just by pressing vol down button i'm entering to fastboot. (even without holding power button)

does this mean there's something wrong with power button which causing cont. reboot? i mean it cont. forcing system to on and off? :s
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.singh286:

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.singh286:
Which MiFlash tool are you using.

I used the 2014.05.09.0 version

Try this one.

And extract the fastboot ROM twice till you get the images folder inside the "cancro_images_V7.0.****" folder. There you'll fill all the files.

Then in miflash click browse and select that images folder.

And in advanced options select the respective files which are there outside the images folder.

you know anything about this?

where do i add this line into bat file?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.singh286:
I made no changes to any files.

I think that line is for selective flashing. If you want to flash certain partition and not all of them.

But its not required if you want pure factory state of partitions.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroisgod:
oh

am not booting into recovery otherwise i'd flash stock partiton script too.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.singh286:
Not required to boot into recovery.

MiFlash can flash stock partitions thats why all those mbn and bat files are required to be selected in advance menu.

That way you can restore everything to default factory state.

without usb cable connected it does not stay stable.

and i reflash but this time boot loop at the starting, didn even boot into system.
