Keeping SuperSU seperate is not a option? Personally I prefer to flash it in the recovery. But since this is a all in one solution maybe this is not possible
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] KbaB.BroS:
Ok, will exclude it
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] swejuggalo:
Ah, great :) Less work for you if SuperSU starts to update more often ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] KbaB.BroS:
Update

Removed SuperSU and modified kernel with beta8 tool. Should give us better battery life according to many others.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] swejuggalo:
Works great with manual SuperSu upgrades now :)

Some screenflicker in recovery though (low refresh rate perhaps). But that is a very minor issue

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] swejuggalo:
Download the latest flashable zip from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23427715 and flash it within the recovery.

You can enter recovery with pressing volym up when the led turns on during phone just starting to boot up.

download latest stable SuperSU zip from the XDA thread. Fastboot the new kernel. Flash the SuperSU zip you downloaded before in TWRP. Now you have latest stable SuperSU
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
[MENTION=5327840]karrouma[/MENTION]

uninstall the supersu which playstore has installed/updated... , since the apk file is in place.

reboot in recovery and flash the latest zip file, with SIGNATURE VERIFICATION option enabled. it will re write the partition information and binaries will be updated.

please help me , where can i download the FTF file for 32.2.A.0.258

i am trying searching it on google

also you have update E6833 boot image for .254 , is it build by beta9 or later?

because your last update (img) for .224 of E6833 build on beta9 is awsome. you removed supersu and the battery life is v good

please confirm
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] KbaB.BroS:
Download with Flashtool and Xperifirm the latest FTF for your device.

The latest FW is 32.2.A.0.253 which is this new kernel I just updated. The headline for this thread shows the FW version.

Like I wrote before it's been modified with beta10, so yes this is a later version than beta9. It should be as battery friendly like beta9.

I found a new option in Settings > Display since the .253 update, it's says Mobile Bravia Engine 2.

Can anyone with TA backups or locked bootloader confirm if the enhancement works? I can't see any difference on my end, I didn't have a TA backup.

Best kernel for z5p
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
are the modified kernel/twrp recovery posted in the OP for the Stock Lollipop or Stock Marshmellow ROM? I have the option to update to Marshmellow, received the option for official update option from Sony, but have held off on it for months now because I don't want to lose the option to root if 6.0 isn't rootable.

Also I assume this method requires unlocked bootloader, is there any way to root with a locked bootloader at the moment?

Thank you for your work and your guys help on this in advance :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] KbaB.BroS:
Kernels are for Marshmallow. In the headline I write which firmware the latest kernels are for and as of right now 32.2.A.0.253 is the latest firmware, which is indeed Marshmallow.

No way to permanently root without unlocking bootloader. When having locked bootloader dm-verity won't allow modifications to the kernel and the system partition. If you modify any of these you'll be in a bootloop. Even if you come around dm-verity there's RIC which mounts the system partition as read only.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
Awesome thank you for the swift reply, just the answers I was looking for. I figured it was 6.0 just wanted to be extra sure. So I can just update via settings > About phone > Software update to 6.0 then follow this guide to root correct?

Thanks has been given ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
If you haven't unlocked yet, you should downgrade to a Lollipop firmware which is compatible with your device to temporally root with iovyroot, so you can backup your TA just in case you need to relock in the future and also you can restore your drm keys even on an unlocked bootloader by flashing restore-drm-keys.ftf

Know that if you don't backup your TA, your drm keys will be lost forever with no way to get them back once you unlock...

Once you've done that you can update to the last MM firmware unlock then proceed to root...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
what do you mean by unlock? Like unlocking the firmware? Is this different than rooting? This is my first Sony Android phone please bear with me :(
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
By unlocking, I mean unlocking your bootloader....by doing so you will lose your drm keys forever (used for low light camera, display settings and more)...drm keys are stored in the TA (trim area) partition which is wiped once you unlock, but we now have the possibility to backup the TA with iovyroot (link from my previous post) so you can restore it in the case that you have to relock your bootloader for warranty issues, but you can also fully restore your drm keys after flashing a custom rootable kernel, most of those kernels have a drm emulation to restore some of the functions lost from unlocking, like the one in this thread, so a full restore of the keys is an added bonus....

But the only way to backup your TA is to downgrade to a Lollipop firmware compatible with iovyroot to temporally root because you need root to do the backup....for full permanent root you need to unlock your bootloader which wipe the TA, so that is why you need to downgrade to Lollipop first...

Hope I made things a bit more clear for you and not more confusing ;)

There are threads (this one would be a good start for you) in this forum that will show you how to do all this, it's good to have an understanding of things before you start, so my advice to you, would be to read/understand about getting root on your device, that will make things easier...

Happy reading ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
restoring keys are long process and i got lazy when i found that this kernel has DRM simulator enabled which is given in rootkernal v5.0 onwards

however if some one whats to keep the keys safe

then yes! you are right! must flash the android 5.1 for his device.

under xperifirm if you select your device , and instead of COUNTRY select "INTERNAL" it will have the version on which the phone left the sony factory.

5.1 is rootable by KINGROOT and hence one rooted, DRM keys can be extracted

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
rootkernel tool or any custom kernel with drm emulation will only restore parts of your credentials though and correct your device will work as intended but FIDO keys are not provisioned, only TA backup and then flash_dk will get you to reactivate all keys on an unlocked bootloader...but I think the most important part for some people might be that they will be out of luck if they have to send their phone back to Sony for repair as unlocking void the warranty, but restoring your TA will relock your bootloader and your warranty is back to normal...so that's worth the extra step for some

Never used Kingroot and I'm not a fan of it either because of less than clear practices like sending your IMEI number to a server in China, installing crap apps and its on SU manager... ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
Okay I understand fairly well now thank you guys. Lol I have to say, surprised Sony makes it a lot harder than every manufacturer of Android I have owned, and mind you I have owned probably a dozen android devices since the first one ever, the HTC G1.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

So last question: Do KINGROOT and Iovyroot provide the exact same temp root, but are just different methods??

Luckily I am on Lollipop already and my FW version is supported by Iovyroot so I do not have to downgrade which is nice :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
I don't know about kingroot, but I won't use it if I was you...see my previous post about that or do a search about it here on xda and you'll decide for yourself

Backup your TA with iovyroot, then update to MM, unlock your bootloader, flash the kernel from this thread (it got a recovery baked in) then flash superSU from recovery...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
Awesome, thanks given ;)

So does the DRM emulation provided by this kernel give the same features as if I were to restore my TA backup?

I guess my question is: does my TA backup really only need to be restored if I want to relock my BL and restore my device to factory settings to keep my warranty etc?

Thanks a ton man you've been very helpful.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
Let's put it this way drm emulation is partial but functional, if you backup your TA you can reactivate your keys fully by flashing a ftf file... You can check under service menu/services test/security if your keys are active (with the emulation the keys are active except for the fido one)

Restoring your drm keys is also different from restoring your TA...the keys are stored in the partition, if you restore your TA partition that will relock your bootloader...some people get confused with that part....

Read this and you'll understand a bit more about it...

And this thread will guide you through the all process, you can just forget the repacking kernel part in that thread if you're going to flash the kernel from this one here... But everything else in there applies to your case...

Happy rooting ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] iwilltouchthesky:
Ahh okay so I think I get it now: You only restore your TA partition if you want to unroot/lock your BL, and if you just want to restore your DRM keys you use flash_dk.cmd script to prepare a .ftf that you flash to restore DRM keys like it says in Step 7 in that guide you linked me to in the above post.

Thanks again for all of your help man, thanks given again for last post. You've been super helpful and have made something very complicated much simpler. I had no idea rooting Sony devices was this complicated, this is my first Sony device.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
bro [MENTION=3336974]-DM-[/MENTION]

i also have my old xperia with me C6602, rooted by kingroot, (locked bootloader

i just EXTRACTED FULL TA keys by using

https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases

now can these keys be used in my z5p ? (filsize is 1.6MB)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
Yup you got it...

Well given fact that if you restore a TA from one phone to another one it will brick it...so frankly using the drm keys from one device to a different one wouldn't work either, otherwise this would have been done a long time ago and there would be no point of all this tools....everybody would be using the same keys then
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
this means I should try finding z5p keys ONLY .....
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
No I meant you can only use your own device keys...look I'm no expert on this or anything else for that matter, but I never heard or read anywhere that it is possible
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] KbaB.BroS:
You can only use your own TA keys for your device. Every TA key is unique. It's like trying to open a door with a key that belongs to another door, but in this case imagine the door locking down itself permanently because you used a different key.

If you haven't backed up your keys don't bother using others, only yours will work and those are gone forever.

hi

Im, almost proudly, WiFI Companon user. IMHO program is quite nice and helpful, but I've got a problem with one. The thing is - on the main screen there is buton Network Available - it gives me a list of available networks, also networks I was connected before. I can chose network I wont, connect etc. And it works simply and fine ...till I (or itselfs after e.g. 60sek) turn off (sleep). After waking up it program couldn't connect and list of networks is empty although searching and trying etc. There are networks available for sure but WiFI Companion couldn't "wake up" and work corectly and show it. After ordinery reset everything is good again, but it takes some time (windows loadnig) and its quite annoying. What's wrong with this software? Is it problem with one, or my new rom (1.17.707 10G pdaviet), or maybe me... Or someboudy could recomend me similar (maybe better) software?
[Networking] Rudegar:
have you tried closed the program in settings memory running programs and restarting it?
[Networking] tejot:
thanks for rapid answer :)

of corse I've tried it... No results.... Btw. it's quite impossible to completely close it because its quite deep integrated with system - I can't see it in running programes list when it's closed... It seems that software just don't wake up corectly... Also I've tried few versions - no difference...

A BIG FAT "F"

Length of time for upgrade to reach current flagship: 65 days (51.6/60 points)

Length of time for upgrade to reach previous-gen flagship: 74 days for the unlocked model -- though with all U.S. carrier models abandoned (0/30 points)

Communication: Poor (0/10 points)

An Android manufacturer has never fallen as fast and hard as what we've seen with Motorola these past couple years. In a matter of months, Moto went from being the shining example of what an Android device-maker should be to being a bitter disappointment Android fans won't soon forgive. (So much for that "nothing will change" transition in ownership, right?)

Following last year's 65% "D" grade for Android upgrades, the Lenovo-owned Motorola gets a big fat embarrassing "F" for the mess it made of this year's Marshmallow rollout. While it did do a reasonably decent (though nowhere near the standard it had maintained in the past) job at getting Android 6.0 out to its current and previous-gen flagships, it did so with one major asterisk: the outright abandonment of all U.S. carrier models of its barely-one-year-old 2014 device.

Worse yet, Motorola stayed insultingly silent on the subject, without so much as an explanation -- let alone any sort of attempt to make things right with customers who had bought into its "ongoing reliable upgrades" message. It was a slap in the face to those who trusted the company, and even if Motorola recovers and manages to do decently well moving forward, it's an incident smartphone shoppers would be wise to remember.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Metfanant:
They were excellent when it came to 2013 devices...but those were before the Lenovo takeover if I remember correctly
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tuzky:
In the past days the MOTO always says the Verzion Carrier test so long a time,just like droid1/2/3/4 and xt910/926/1030 and so on..

Now its becoming a department of lenovo, i dont think there are still enough development guys who can work with Verzion ones...

So i doubt the 6.0 would finally come with a final-final day or never come out
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] veloct:
I really think we won't see it, like the Moto X Play 2014. We'll just get an out-of-the-blue message saying "SORRY". My next phone will be a Nexus, i'm done with Motonovo

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Metfanant:
In some cases it may be VZW holding things up...but the 2013 Droids received their updates faster than any phones outside of the Nexus devices...

That was in the Google days, and when Moto first started using the near Vanilla builds of Android...

They are still as close to Vanilla as you can get, but what has changed is Lenovo...

So you do the math
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tuzky:
i think the lenovo has make every dev-guys to run their VIBE rom project，their 2014 device named k3note has already update to mm。
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alex_is_the_1:
I think people need to realize it's not motos fault! Talk to Verizon about your updates because Verizon does in fact add their bloat apps which in turn takes longer. Google has in fact release the source code for mm. Just disappoints me to see people hating on moto over something they have little to no control over.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] someguyatx:
No, both are equally at fault. If it were only on Verizon then the non Turbo branded quark devices would already be updated.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Metfanant:
VZW had no problem pushing the updates for the 2013 Droids...they were the first non-nexus phones to get updates...

Wanna know what the difference was? Those phones were made when Google owned Motorola...our phones are under the control of Lenovo...

I have no love for VZW...and while they may slow things down in many cases, the fact remains...if a quality update is delivered to them, they will push it out...
