1. Making new kernel called new_kernel.img then flashing kernel_x.img???

2. rootkernel tools is for Z5, script said no twrp for ivy

Update:

1. Change script from kernel_x.img to new_kernel.img flash OK

2. New rootkernel 4.4 twrp OK but not rooted

Update again:

2. Seems to partial rooted on rootkernel 4.31. Partially means sometimes root sometimes not after reboot. Just copy ivy twrp folder from 4.4.

Update 3:

1. Change rootkernel kernel.elf new_kernel.elf

2. Rooted with beta su 2.71.

3. I think it should be 6th step flash DK.ftf created in flash_dk TA.img DK.ftf with flashtool.

4. Xposed with xposed-v84-sdk23-arm64.

Many thanks to nica_ro for paving up the way.

Changed guide based on minor misunderstandings. rootkernel is now v 4.50, with fixed adb and mtp file access in TWRP for 32.2.A.0.224. All one needs now is to wait for 32.2.A.0.224 (32.2.A.0.224 Algerika DZ and Customized Malayesia are already available for download).

You said you need fastboot? how to achieve that,, when i click fastboot text in your post it takes me to ftf.266 google drive page ??

Will you please explain a little bit more too me ??
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nica_ro:
Updated the links. Also added the rooted kernel I made. Fastboot command was missing from the adb folder, so I added it.

UPDATE: Managed to root using the same method the lastest 32.2.A.0.224.

Might there be a difference with z3 plus one sim edition?

Do you think there's any difference or a chance that it might not work if done this way with the z3+ E6553?

I'm thinkin' on rooting my device but i wanna be sure before doing anything to it... specially i don't want to lose the DRM keys ...

Stumped for upgrading ROM

Either my eyes and brain are getting tired from days of reading, or I'm getting old, or I only root every couple of years (ever since the W810i), so I may be out of practice, but I'm embarrassingly stumped. I understand everything from post#5 but I'm stuck at choosing the proper ROM for flashing and extracting the kernel.

Z3+ Dual (E6533)

The phone came with 28.0.A.8.251, did OTA update to 28.0.A.8.266 to do the TA backup (worked). I've included two screenshots of the before and after [.251 --> .266]:

Now I need to pick the proper updated ROM before I proceed. OTA wants to install 32.1.A.1.163, Xperia Companion is showing 32.2.A.0.253 as well as XperiFirm. The closest match on XperiFirm, I think, is cda 1295-0980? Ukraine? Also, on the box it shows a cda of 1293-8962, Russia?. In the past when I have rooted there has always been a North America Generic so it was an easy pick. On XperiFirm there are numerous Generics other than North America. I'm in North America (Canada), English. What's your advice on the proper ROM to use for my rooting adventures?

Thanks.

And you didn't lose the DRM keys? Could you succesfully restore them?

This is my BIGGEST question and worry, i wanna root my z3+ (e6553) but I just want to be sure about not losing DRM keys and with that camera functions and display engine, etc. So I ask you, by following this steps you managed to root it? Without losing anything important?

nica_ro, or anyone, which version of rootkernel did you use? I keep getting an error "Skipping TWRP recovery. No kernel modules for 3.10.49-perf-g3363e96 available" when running the script (attached below). I tried 4.51 and 5.0_rc4 on three different versions of firmware:

Also where did you get your 32.1.A.1.185 as there are many different builds, which one specifically did you use (cda,market,ect)?

Get your update hot and fresh!

-edit- Finished installing via LG Bridge. Took 30-40 min for download and installation. Appears to be running a tad smoother in areas. Interestingly though, just after the phone was up and running again it became hot to the touch, but after a few minutes, the temperature subsided. Can confirm the addition of video calling and a working fingerprint sensor with a case. I have the Spigen Slim Armor if that makes a difference. I will update as changes of note appear.

[LG V10 General] chernabog88008:
Just did the LG Bridge, took about 40 minutes to download and then install. Can verify fingerprint scanner works 1000% better with a case on it than before. Root and TWRP are completely gone. Doesn't clear any of your installed apps though. Now we just need a SuperSU and TWRP update for it. Will update tomorrow. Going over to Juarez to collect money, and it's a 4 mile roundtrip, so going to see if Bluetooth and battery life improve noticeably. No issue with using a charging pad right now, and I'm using a Samsung Iron Man regular charge and a Samsung fast charge pad.

Beside waiting 30 mins on computer what i did was connect phone, open lg bridge and check for updates ; when it says downloading (which was very slow of course) i did disconnect my phone ; later after an hour ( you dont have to wait to long but i had to go out in between) i saw it says phone not found and try again. I did connect phone again and hit try again and it worked.

I have the international unlocked exynos variant of the Galaxy s7 Edge running on AT&T in the U.S. I am also running the Renovate Release 1 ROM. Every time I check my battery usage, it reports cell standby has used the most of my battery, with screen coming in second place with much lower battery consumption. Is there any steps I can take to reduce this consumption?? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
If you don't use your phone much then Cell Standby will be #1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] swordstrength:
I really use my phone a lot during the day though. I seem to get battery drain of about 4% per hour when my phone isn't being used. I have no rogue apps ruining in the background or anything and "cell standby" always seems to be the only major battery drainer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] termdj:
I have basically the same issue. I loose 2-4% per hour when not using the phone. AOD is running, so I know I will loose some battery life, but the cell standby is 45% , android 20% and google 17%. I have turned off most of the google stuff, so I will monitor that...I do have my phone on 4g, so I know it will eat more battery.....I still do get at least 26 hours out of a full charge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] swordstrength:
It's funny because I have AOD turned off at all times... I don't get what is wrong. I mean the battery life is still much better than most any other phone for me but it could be even better.

I usually have strong signal in most areas, but there are areas I have spotty signal. However, at work my phone gets great reception but I will pick it up after idle for many hours and have loads of cell standby drain. Is there an issue with VoLTE or something since ATT versions give an option to turn it off, but international models do not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
I would doubt itd issues with volte since the exynos simply doesn't have it, maybe your missing some LTE bands in your area, did u have this issue when u were on stock ROM?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hybucket1:
Can't believe this is the only recent posting about this problem. I have a Galaxy 5 and since the last update, the Cell Standby problem has made my phone practically useless. I read older posts about this problem, and this previous post solved it. I called AT&T and asked about it, but they had no clue. Thanks for the tip...it worked. Cell Standby doesn't even appear on the battery page after having the phone on for 6 hours.

Newbie here! Hi! My question is. Had a desire s sitting in a drawer for ages because the battery wasn't holding a charge. Bought a new battery, but its running really slow even after i did a factory reset. Are there any new updates i could download for it please? Its currently running android 4.0.4 TIA for all and any help! :)
[HTC Desire S] ChristianFerrer:
Look at the Desire S Android Development. There are a lot of good ROM choices. Just need to be S-Off or have an unlocked bootloader plus a Custom Recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If you do then you can choose between the ROMs available. There are a ton of it. Just need to try which one fits the best for you.

I'm currently using Sagasation V2.0. I just removed the Samsung stuffs in the ROM even the Launcher and installed Nova. I also did some CPU Overclocking. I can say this is the best ROM I've ever tried. Really fast and can stand to be a daily driver. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 by the way.

Hi guys , i am new to this , i already spent 2 days on this stuff , i read a lot , i think i did my homework but i still can't install any custom roms on this phone so i need some help pls.

So , the phone is the Verizon HTC One MaXX and i recently moved in Canada to the Videotron GSM LTE network , the phone works ok with the stock verizon Rom in GSM but only in 3g network but is kinda slow so i need to change that .

So , i used sunshine to unlock bootloader & S-OFF , then i flashed the latest recovery with Verizon TWRP 3.0.2-0-t6vzv and then i rooted with Supersu , everything is checked and confirmed as installed.

I try to install 5 different popular International Roms (first i wiped cache, dalvik , system,etc) in both lollypop and kitkat but either they stop in the middle of install or they completely install but at reboot they get stuck after the Htc welcome screen or they just keep rebooting the startup screen after installed or get stuck on the white boot HTC screen , i followed very precise steps from printed tutorials and stuff but with no result.

The only way to make the phone work again is to flash back my original backup Rom from Verizon, the phone works ok with this rom.

So , my question is , how to flash the Verizon One maxx with a custom Rom in order to work in LTE\4G GSM network . My TWRP recovery is Verizon 3.0.2.

Thank you for your time and help.

[Lenovo Vibe X3 Questions & Answers] valp88:
Hey guys, I recently bought this Lenovo Vibe A7010 phone. I'm really liking it, but noticed that the Gyroscope and Accelerometer are not working properly.

I'm not sure if it's a software/rom issue, since I updated the phone immediately after getting it, or hardware. If it's hardware I'll take it to tech support to repairs.

Thing is, I've seem some people around complaining about the issue and talking that it might be a bug from the newest updates...

What happens is that gyroscope/accelerometer are always tilting towards one direction (to the right and randomly down and left in my case): 360º Youtube videos are unwatchable. Google maps accuses me of spinning around in my position.

I was eager to test the Google Cardboard with this, but it seems like it will be impossible.

I entered Engineer menu through a code and there is a calibration option, but it doesn't work properly. It makes some adjustments but nothing changes.

There's another menu that is accessible through a reboot with power+volUp, but it all in chinese.

Here are some pics and videos of the bugged sensors:
