You don't even have to switch launchers. If you launch the unlocker it will say "thanks for buying" and give you the option to hide the unlocker from your launcher.

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Why are you disabling your data connection when connected to WiFi? You're just making your life more complicated. Leave data on while on WiFi and the phone will automatically switch to data when it can't do something over WiFi (your texts).

My vibration is strong like others have mentioned.

PowerAmp unlocker hides itself once you launch it 1 time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JulesMarcus1234:
love it :p

Too much vodka there in polland i guess? He doesn't feel the vibration anymore :laugh: (no pun intended)

I really love the s7 even the battery life, but then I must say that I came from a Huawei Ascend P7 so it's quite the improvement. Amazing camera and everytime I unlock my screen I fall in love with the colors :good::good:

I am having a tough time getting LG UP to recognize my phone on Windows 10. Even running the app in Windows 7 compatibility mode doesn't help. I have gone into Device Manager and forced the VZW drivers on the phone, USB Debugging is on, and still no connection. I tried the pull the battery with the phone connected via USB and LGUP running and still no joy. Might be a Windows 10 thing.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
For those who didn't know already: yes, there's a way to root Z5 compact with MM. Bootloader needs to be unlocked.

(1) Install Marshmallow. I did it with flashtool. (I used E5823_32.1.A.1.163_1299-0270_R7C)

--> Clean install, if not, you'll get Google Play Store and Google Play Service to be forced to close.

(2) Install another kernel over here. It's AndroPlus kernel, and I choose the latest version (v20).

--> extract boot.img

-->> (in fastboot mode: power down + press vol up + insert USB) fastboot flash boot boot.img

Edit 20/03/2016: Don't use this version of TWRP. It won't work.

(3) Install TWRP over here, like found in this threat. It's TWRP 3.0.0

--> rename recovery.img

-->> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(4) Flash SuperSU like you can find here. I flashed v2.65

You can reboot, your Z5 compact will be on Android 6.0 with Root Access.

By the way, read this before you try to install Xposed.

It's possible to install Xposed. I used v80-sdk23-arm64.zip (framework to flash) and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk as installer.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] toxic_garden:
thanks for the summary. It might be worth mentioning that there's a way to keep the DRM functionalities with unlocked bootloader, even when the keys are erased. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/sony-credentials-restore-unlocking-t3296383

Didn't try it for myself, but according to the replys, it looks very promising. :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
Won't hurt you to mention its for Unlocked Bootloader (UB)...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Kallu609:
Thanks for the guide, I'll try this once I get home. :)

E: Clean install means I should wipe my userdata?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
You're 100% right. I didn't think about that, because my bootloader was already unlocked.

Clean install = you need to wipe userdata (not SD card)

Dirty install = you flash new ROM without changing existing userdata.

So indeed, you need to start on a blank canvas and reinstall your apps.

--> If you're using a password manager, like LastPass or something else, it's way easier to start off from a clean system. If you're not using a password manager yet, maybe it's time to reconsider using one.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
for me a big point to mention here: sdcard is not workin gat the moment..

so you do have to place all things you need to flash on internal storage.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
Weird...

For me, having root access didn't change anything to SD card performance. Which means (for me):

- no problem to install/flash SuperSU using my external SD card.

- no difference after root was installed. I still can flash anything from SD Card.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Helleren:
does it have to be E5823_32.1.A.1.163_1299-0270_R7C?

I'm currently on 32.1.A.1.163_1298_7782_R9C.

should i flash the R7C one?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
I only wanted to share the way *I* did it. ;) (because different people mentioned there's no root for Z5C)

I guess it will work with

any

E5823_32.1.A.* and. it. could also work with other/newer kernels/TWRP/superSU... but I didn't test anything else than this device and this setup. + I know for me it didn't work with TWRP 2.8.7.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] vibo2013:
The solution to restore drm functions is already included in the Andropluskernel ;)

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
Anybody knows if this could work on a E5803 model?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
I don't really understand the Kernel stuff. But would this just be a workaround to get root for now?

Is it stable?

Would you recommend waiting for a future release?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Thorstenk:
For me scared is working to! I also did not wipe my user data. I just flashed the german vodafone firmware over my existing LP 5.0.2 using flashtool, which kept all my apps. The rest was done as described in the first post. The only app which caused trouble was spotify, I just reinstalled it and everything was fine ...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
No, nothing about this is stable.

-- Dirty flash of MM could mean that certain apps or parts of the system become unstable.

-- TWRP 3.0 is only released a few days ago. Could contain bugs, who knows...

-- AndroPlus kernel is work in progress. Literally "status: testing". And for more info about that kernel, you can always read/ask in that threat ;) (I don't know the ins and outs of kernels at all)

-- Xposed + it's modules: all work in progress. Some could be stable, some could be buggy.

For now, this is a way to get root. Maybe other developers come with different methods to root, maybe not. But getting root access means: f*ck*ng around with your system on the deepest possible level and breaking some "stability" sony intended to give us. If you would like to take advantage of what root access can give you: give it a try. If you're afraid to break anything: stay away from it or be prepared that you'll have to start over from scratch.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
Yes forgot that to clear. Sdcard is working in running system, but not in twrp. Thats no big deal, only nice to know...

And I've tried it german customied did work.. Schud not make any difference as long as it the same version number...

Drm restoration I couldnt check until now.

Nice that I now can restore my app data with titanium backup

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

I'll think I have to try again. Perhaps the first boot something was going wrong.. But I couldn't access sdcard and flash supersu from the card with twrp. SoI booted, copied supersu to internal "sdcard" and from there it worked.. I also tried to mount sdcard.. No reaction (but also only at first boot)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
Thanks for the reply, i can't stand lollipop anymore so i'll give it a try ! I'll update once done!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
If you can't stand lollipop then you won't stand marshmallow either, it's almost the same thing, no big differences. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
The thing I couldn't stand was the lag.. I've done a dirty upgrade and everything is working perfectly with root!

I have some 3rd party apps that used to be able to write to SD card using the patch "SDFix" I now can't get them to write to anywhere on the SD card.. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Helleren:
Everything seems to be working on the Nordic combined:)

Dirty flashed boot.img and recovery.img, booted into TWRP and flashed superSU:)

No problems with Google play store:)

Thanks for the guide! :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DanielMalmgren:
Just wondering... could this be simply because there are remains of Lollipop apps still in the phone? Did anyone try to do a dirty install and then afterwards simply flash a MM gapps? Or maybe remove all upgrades to store and services?

I haven't done the upgrade at all yet, thought I'd try to avoid doing the wipe :p

/Daniel
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Helleren:
nothing happened with Google play when I flashed recovery and kernel...

I did however get those errors when i moved from LP to MM without wipe.... just had to update both apps, then all was good :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DanielMalmgren:
Now it's getting interesting... You updated them how?

/Daniel
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] do_salah:
Can TA be backed up?

Its not fear holding me back. its just... its just... argh (Vegeta) lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Helleren:
Thats a good question! I wasn't paying attention to what exactly happened... i was too thrilled to finally get MM!:P

I think after a few minutes running MM I got a notification saying google play services had stopped, and i had to update Google play store and services for it to work. when i closed the notification i was automaticly directed to what i think was play store with only option to update Google play services.... This happened 2 or 3 times, but after that i have had no problem:)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DanielMalmgren:
That's the way they discovered penicillin, you know... One day they just did something and there it was :D

I guess the broken play services still has the capability to upgrade itself into something that is not broken then. Guess I'll just have to try it out for myself. Worst thing that could happen would be me being without play store in which case I can just do a factory reset then...

/Daniel
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DanielMalmgren:
Ok... Did a dirty upgrade and Play Store seems to work without any problem. I didn't do anything to get it working, it just did :)

Anyway, I've got another problem. I flashed supersu and it seemed to work. And I can start the supersu app. But the app just says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.". Anyone knows what could cause that? I used the supersu linked in this op, I guess it should be MM compatible?

/Daniel

edit: Tried both 2.65 and 2.68 now with same result. :(

edit 2: Fixed it. Installed another twrp. I first used the one from androplus (which was downloadable from the same place as the kernel, but now mysteriously gone, maybe because it was broken?), now I used the one in this op. Sorry for deviating from the guide :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
How can I boot into twrp without actually flashing it to my device? I want to use computer to boot into recovery then flash supersu and thats it. I just want to install supersu in MM. Is this possible? Or do I have to install androplus kernel, twrp and then flash it? I really don't want to mess up with the kernel. :/

edit: i just tried to boot into twrp without flashing it, using fastboot commands but it didn't work, it didn't boot into twrp just got stuck at sony logo. Now I'm curious if it will work if I flash it.

Also.. Has someone tried this method to root a e5803 model? does it work?

EDIT: OMG! I can't believe it!!! I just followed the steps from OP hoping it would work on my E5803 Model and it did!!!! Finally!! I have rooted MM!!! Woohoo!! I'm so excited right now! :D

HI jenana,

If i follow your instructions and i wanna go back to my Lollipop backup of TWRP, i can flash it on recovery to go back?

i can't wait to try MM, thank youu.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] goeland86:
Weird, I'm getting different behavior and root doesn't work for me.

Phone is E5823 flashed with MM Custom CH (where I live)

TWRP sees SD card but not internal storage.

I flash the SuperSU 2.65 linked from first post, and SuperSu app shows up in apps list, but no root access. When I try to open up SuperSu message is "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot intall it. This a problem!" (oh really? Hadn't noticed that bit!)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DanielMalmgren:
I recognize both those problems.

First the SD card. It's the same here, I can only reach external SD from twrp. I don't see it as a problem though, as long as some area where I can put files are visible ;)

About the second one... Did you flash the twrp linked in the op? I got exactly that behaviour when I used another twrp (which I downloaded from androplus.org). It seems the supersu didn't flash correctly from that twrp. When using the twrp in this thread everything works perfect for me.

/Daniel
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] goeland86:
I used the twrp 3.0.0 linked in the first post... Will try again to flash a fresh twrp tomorrow.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
So this means that we can get root on Marshmallow without any problems as far as the DRM keys are concerned? It's totally safe to do or not? I was on rooted Z1 Compact but with TA Partition backed up so it felt a bit safer.

N.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] goeland86:
Ok I apparently had flashed the wrong recovery - I'd downloaded twrp 3.0.0 from the same google drive as the kernel image - flashed the recovery from the thread linked in the original post and now it works. Also, using original recovery I have access to both internal and SD storage. :good:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] michaelbrender:
Even encryption works

Thanks for the guide. Everything works as it should, xposed, the camera (without replacing the apk), and finally even encryption - which wasnt possible with lollipop.

Anyway it is important that (after flashing the ftf, androkernel and TWRP 3.0) the device is booted and encrypted (otherwise you will end up in an encryption bootloop).

Then you can flash SuperSu via recovery.

There will be some errors when executing the script, but SuperSu will work and apps will prompt for root access.

q[MENTION=6614818]--jenana--[/MENTION], thanx for this guide! i've got an E5803 model & was able to successfully root the MM build with TWRP-3.0 recovery.. a common issue is unable to mount sdcard thru recovery,the same goes to usb-otg wc is not mountable atm.. but everything's cool. however, i noticed 1 thing that's bit annoying(see screenshot):

i'd like to know if anybody's got the same issue as mine that when i press the recents button, the bar ontop of navbar goes behind the nav bar(makes sense?)..with or without xposed installed, & this i noticed after rooting(???)..hmmm... :what:

There are a ton of things that could have gone wrong...

Over here you can find a more complete guide on how to root z5 compact. I assume your device just wasn't in a bootloader-connection at the moment.

You can check that with command "fastboot devices". It should list your connected device. If not, I hope that guide gives you the inspiration about where to look at.

(like: drivers properly installed)

Hi, Need help please, My phone just boots in to TWRP. wont go to system. any ideas? thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DayMK:
Nothing appears when i type "fastboot devices" something pops up and the immediately disappear, no error messages though....

The only things that work is "adb reboot bootloader" and " fastboot reboot" you might just be right about the driver issue, if so i don't know what to do......:-S

Edit: i think i found what was the problem. Sorry ? if my post was unapropriate for this thread.

Anyway, nice guide
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
I don't think anybody would be able to help you on a description this vague/short ;) I hope you realize you didn't provide any information about what you were doing, and what you used to do so?

If you can't boot into your system, first thing should be to check if you used the right firmware for your phone. If you can flash it and you can boot into system, go to the next step: flash the custom kernel. Try to reboot and check if you can boot your system. Next step: flash the right TWRP-recovery. This doesn't mess with your system, so you should still be able to boot into your system.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] do_salah:
Hey sorry i shouldve edited the post. Got it working. Had to flash everything through ADB Command prompt. Xposed working fine. Camera works fine without modifying anything. DRM Restoration works fine as well.
