Nice work :)
[Sony Xperia M5] icstm:
Thanks for you hard work, look forward to trying this soon.
[Sony Xperia M5] DavidEsp:
Thank you very much for this amazing work. I tried it yesterday and worked perfect!!!:):):):):)
[Sony Xperia M5] D1kiy:
I tried and it works good! But I have one question: will it be possible update to android 6 by using this tool?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
As long as the newer firmwares don't include protections at kernel level, like dm-verity, yes, you can use this tool with any future upate...
[Sony Xperia M5] icstm:
got my phone back from Sony, they did not change anything, even though it appears the front camera has a fixed focus. When you are at that distance the picture is razor sharp, else it is poor.

So anyway, given I have to live with it, I thought I would finally get around to rooting and getting a more up-to-date firmware than available in the UK. So used this and now on .55 on generic Spain.
[Sony Xperia M5] chikrron:
Perfect!! Only we need recovery :)
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Some good (and bad) news: first the good news, Sony started rolling out 30.2.A.0.100 firmware for single SIM variants, the long-awaited Marshmallow update, and it should come soon to dual SIM variants too (probably under 30.2.B.0.100 if Sony keeps the same naming scheme of previous updates). And now the bad news, from a preliminary look I did in the boot image of the update, it now have dm-verity enabled on the kernel, and so, by using dd Flasher Minimal to update to a Marshmallow-based firmware while maintaining root access, the phone will refuse to boot unless you unlock the boot loader and flash a modified kernel with dm-verity disabled...
[Sony Xperia M5] aidfarh:
That really is bad news that dm-verity is enabled on the kernel. Have you actually tested it yet? I don't suppose there's a chance that Sony complies with Google's requirement that the user must be notified of verification failure and given the option of continuing to boot despite the failure?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
I haven't actually flashed the update because it's not available yet for my variant (E5643) and at the moment I want to avoid cross flashing because it's my main phone (and I had issues with cross flashing it on the past).

What I did was downloading the update for E5603 and then taking a look on the RAM Disk of the kernel image; the verity keystore is present and it's also present in the fstab, so, dm-verity is definitely enabled. Also, from the dm-verity issues in recent Xperia flagships regarding root (Z3+/Z4, Z5, Z5c, Z5p) I really don't believe Sony just set dm-verity in "warning" mode rather than enforcing it, making the phone refuse to boot if the system partition was tampered...

In other words, permanently locked bootloader owners are currently screwed if they want root in Marshmallow update for Xperia M5 series :(
[Sony Xperia M5] chikrron:
Do you have UB your M5?
[Sony Xperia M5] Bennybtc:
Rootability news for marshmallow?
[Sony Xperia M5] knight84:
Silly idea : just disable the dm-verity?

Else have to unlock bootloader... Is that even work?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
You need an unlocked bootloader to do that.
[Sony Xperia M5] SimonZ:
Just curiosity, i know that it will not work but i don't know why...

What prevent unzip ftf and to change boot.img with one dm_verity off ?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Nothing. But locked bootloader devices only accepts kernels signed by Sony, modify a single byte on the boot image and the signature is not valid anymore. In other words, a bootloader locked phone would refuse to boot with a modified boot image.
[Sony Xperia M5] SimonZ:
Clear! I read something now in Wikipedia.
[Sony Xperia M5] ZtanOfficial:
I have an idea. But I am not an expert, so I am not sure about this.

I think, we can downgrade the firmware with Flash Tools. Then, we can gain root access with kingroot. We can get a backup of TA partition and drm keys and then we will unlock the bootloader, change the dm-verity thing and use this dd flasher to keep root access with mm update. So If we have root again, we can lock the bootloader and restore the drm keys.

Am I correct about this idea. Can it be successful?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
As soon as you restore your TA backup (thus relocking the bootloader) the phone would refuse to boot the modified image. Like I said before, only signed boot images can be loaded with a locked bootloader (modify the image to disable dm-verity => its signature is not valid anymore). Also, even if it worked, it would be of no use for users with permanently locked bootloader (e.g. devices bought through carriers)...
[Sony Xperia M5] ZtanOfficial:
So the only option we have is a system exploit to gain root access on our devices... It's not cool. :(
[Sony Xperia M5] darkmoonmonster:
Tried this method with 5.1.1 rooted update to 6.0.1. Failed and have soft brick with stuck logo. Have to use Xperia Companion to repair. Now having 6.0.1 with no root. T_T
[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:
Use flashtool for downgrade the phone. [emoji106]

I have no service at work so I have to rely on WiFi to send messages. I've tested this at home where I can turn my phone on airplane mode with WiFi and send and receive mms fine. At work while I'm on WiFi I get the message that my mms can't be retrieved and to check my apn and click the message to retry. I've been missing pictures and sometimes I'm not getting group messages since they come from mms. Anyone else have this issue? https://imgur.com/JXnTaHt

Hi - I've just ordered a new back housing for my Mate 7, but I cannot remove the old fingerprint sensor so I can attach it to the new one. It seems to be glued in place, rather annoyingly.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] chazall1:
I am still using my N5. And have been wanting to upgrade. Been wanting for something with the SD 820. This would fit the bill and unlocked. With the roomers that HTC could be offering a Nexus this year has me waiting a bit longer. Not offering this with AT&T and only the 32gb version here in the US, 32 is all that I need. I believe that the HTC 10 could have a Nexus variant here in the US with 64gb. I know that HTC has issues financialy and if google wants to make HTC viable again, a Nexus device would make sense???? Maybe just wish full thinking.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] s1dest3pnate:
I'm wondering the same. Wait or not to wait. I've almost had it with my bootloader, no-update-getting, T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z3

I wish it had on-screen buttons and Sony's Xperia Z5 fingerprint scanner (on the side, integrated into power button). That would be amazing!

I have a n5 and and I wondered the same thing you, and i decide to buy a htc 10, my reasons:

unlock and root htc phones is nearly easy as nexus

help with 1 more purchase a company that gave me my best phone in the past (htc one x)

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Decision has been easy for me. Placed my order on the HTC 10 already and to be honest I wouldn't wait for the Nexus, as I prefer Sense with Bilnkfeed in comparison to Google's stock launcher. And unless anybody can port it sooner or later I'd terribly miss this launcher on a Nexus device.

Waiting for Nexus 2016 to get in your hands is like 6-9 months away. HTC 10 has everything I want in a phone. This phone would be a great upgrade from M7. Its actually the upgrade I have been clamouring for. HTC finally delivered the promisedland. So, I pre-ordered...:)

guys HTC 10 I call it HTC Nexus cuz the OS it's very clean like Nexus also the apps HTC support all Google apps

I agree with this, plus expandable storage that can be converted to internal storage! Win win for me. Smaller screen was a bit of a sticking point for me, I am now used to a 5.7" but there is so much I like about the 10, I went ahead for it.

Me too. Had HD2, One X and M7 so this is the next step I've been waiting for...!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] s-lps3:
I have been thinking about this since I pre ordered my 10's and after reading and watching all if not most reviews. Nexus 6p 128gb can purchased for $599 now and $50 gift card from online retailer. without tax and free shipping. Saving me money . Also HTC drop the ball on not including the Hi-Res ear buds. which was one of the main reason I wanted this device. Now I have to shell out another $200 + on some Hi-Res ear buds What do you all think? 10 or 6P
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Sorry your train of those eludes me. Seems like you are trying to justify buying the 6P.

Those ear buds that HTC was believed to give with the unit cost like $50 iic. How do you get $200+ if you don't get them you have to buy. Seems like you wouldn't have bought them anyway since you got them. Why bother with the more expensive ones if you would have been satisfied if you thought they were going to be free?

This isn't a troll or anything. I just can't see your rationality
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] RemnantKing2:
I actually currently own the 6P and I've placed my pre-order on the 10. I loved the M8 when I had it and my only problem at the time with was the really bad camera and the battery life.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nitramus:
One thing you can count on is nexus never has xsd storage. In this case 128gb internal is the minimum I need with my usage.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
So many mixed messages. Some sites says US won't be whether unlocked or branded. Some say unlocked should come with them, but not branded.

http://goo.gl/GK8uL4 says we would but then later got clarification that it would not. Sad but I don't think I would have used them.

Ok I have two firesticks, one I bought for myself and one I recently bought for a friend as a house warming present. I set mine up loaded kodi installed apollo build etc. And everything works fine apart from occasionally it closing on me. I went to do the same thing I did before but on my friends firestick and nothing would work. I can install a custom build fine but I couldn't stream anything, so I've cleared all the data from kodi and tarted fresh, this time I've not loaded any custom build I just downloaded the fusion repo and installed one add on in this case exodus. I go into exodus and I click on latest movies and nothing opens.

I've tried various different add ons and nothing will load anything. Has anyone got any clue why this is happening or what I'm doing wrong? It's driving me mad.

[X Style (Pure) General] skinnykinney:
Finally figured this out and it helped a couple people in the trupure thread so i figured I'd share it here in case anyone else is annoyed by this as well.

Apparently when the power and volume up buttons are pushed together, it creates a bug report and notification. Another user (forgot your username) pointed out that it also removes the reboot menu in the power menu (if you have it enabled through gravity box) until you restart the phone.

To fix this, I froze the app "com.Motorola.Bug2go" in titanium backup, and I had also renamed the bug2go and bug report files in /system/bin to include ".Bak" at the end, which I'm not sure if that is necessary or not since right after I did that I froze that app in titanium backup. There are also bug2go files in system/etc

Since doing this I havent had a single bug report pop up (basically every time I took my phone out of my pocket) and my reboot menu finally stays. So if these reports bug you too (:p) try this and hopefully it helps

Hi, i can not flash my phone back to stock rom (Nexus 6P). I tried to flash the stock rom using the flash-all.bat as well as flashing it manually, i've updated my adb and fastboot version and scoured the web looking for answers. The problem seems to be when i try flashing the system.img, i get an error saying the system.img is too big for the system partition on my phone??? If anyone knows the fix, or has run into this issue before please send me some help!!!

I'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem of typing while I'm on the phone. For example, if I get a call, and need to type out a new appointment, I'll start typing on the built-in keyboard and instead of letters, I'm getting some numbers and symbols instead.

I'm sure this has something to do with the phone app, but it's a real pain to have to peck things out on the screen keyboard.

Does anyone know if there's a way around this?
