Yes flash .253 firmware, then RomX v3.0 and then you can start dirty flashing rom updates sslong as the firmware base doesn't change ;)

How is 3.2??
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
Am facing a bit of heating problem, might be the kernel and am swapping between 1.9.14 and 1.9.15 and a bit of battery drain. I didn't face those issue on 3.1.1 with same kernels.

Wi-Fi Issues

Hey dude, Love your ROM, been on it since 3.0 and now on 3.2, only worry is that I've been having Wi-Fi problems through 3.0-3.2, bluetooth works fine and I got a MAC Address in my service menu (Doubt this is hardware related?), tried factory wiping and a few Wi-Fi fixer apps but no dice. I'm using the androsun kernel (I think) if that makes a difference?

Thanks Again!

hi The double tap option to turn off the screen does not appear
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
You are in .305 based kernel. You can enable double tap to wake by running this a script or making a file and both ways are mentioned earlier by a lot of people. Take a look back ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] yoshatabi:
I see that a newer version was released. I uninstalled this rom on 3.1.1 because I was getting music playback issues where every time I listen to music while driving the audio will pause or skip. Hopefully this newer update will fix the problem. Will test it over the weekend.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
I will fix it on 3.3
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Alright guys an update will be available soon but it will stay on 253 until nougat is released. 305 is a pain in the ass, it's buggy and offers no benefit from 253

Flashed 3.1 no camera working flashed 3.2 no camera working and been using your roms since the first version! I'm currently @ 3.0 will it work if I update from 3.0 to 3.2? I can't enjoy your roms cause camera display error and I use a lot my camera and I don't like the Google one

Hello friends a stupid question which rom is better slim x or current. I am a bit lost. Thank you
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
ROMX for features

SlimX for Battery

Any help with that?

Latest release.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Android OS is either wifi or Bluetooth drain.

Just use SlimX if you want battery
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Well another reason not to move to 305

The upside down rotation issue is back
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Is V3.2 good?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
It heats up all by its own whenever i wake up the phone and without playing at all. Just browser or whatsapp.

Heat and battery drain worse than 3.1.1

It works fine for me though what's wrong with your install?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Wess.a:
I dont know :( i flashed it over 3.1.1 and i dont know what to do. I will flash SlimX asap but after installing stock .253 so i can make sure that everything is right and give you a feedback about it. But 3.2 is really going crazy on my phone and battery barley holds for the day. 3-4 hours on screen time on wifi!! I want to thank you after all for your awesome work :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Just for lols

How many of you want Xposed enabled by default?

It breaks safetynet, magisk etc, increases RAM usage and decreases performance(5-10%)

But gives more features
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Does that mean the modules I had before flashing the rom will be there too (I think with dirty flash maybe yes?)

Flashing Xposed framework isnt much work.

But it's a hassle to have to download every module again so if they would be there by default it would be useful to me:p

At the moment, my Z5 keeps randomly rebooting. Does this ROM have these problems? And also what doesn't work on this ROM?...

And is a clean install just resetting the phone and flashing

(Sorry I am a complete noob at this stuff)

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Which ROM and kernel are you on?

Usually random rebooting is a kernel issue, which usually can easily be fixed by flashing a different kernel. I used to use this ROM (RomX) but lately im using Slimx.. So I can't really say if there are things that aren't working in the last couple of versions. From what I can remember when I used RomX v3.1.1 everything was working fine (atleast for me)

A clean flash means wiping data when flashing the ROM.

If you are on 305 firmware, you have to flash stock 253 firmware via flashtool first before flashing RomX, and if you want this rom, you have to flash v3.0 first and then flash the latest version.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you arent sure about anything ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EpicMedz:
I am on stock 224 and Androplus kernel
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Okay, androplus kernel shouldn't have random reboot issues. I havent heard anyone complaining about reboots on androplus kernels.

I would try flashing a newer kernel version to see if the random reboots go away.

But if you want RomX, you can follow instructions from previous post. I don't know if it's best to flash 253 firmware first when coming from 224, but to be sure I would.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EpicMedz:
Okay. Where can I find that flashtool thing? And where can I get the 253 firmware?

P.S. Sorry for asking so many questions ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Google Flashtool and click the first link. (Xperia device flashing).

I don't really have time to give instructions to flashtool right now. How did you get rooted and got androplus kernel? :p using flashtool I would think? Or? :silly:

You can search here on XDA though for guides how to use flashtool. You can download 253 firmware in flashtool :p

Try whats in the brackets (remove the brackets first) in any script manager and tell me. If it fails try "input1" instead of "input2". You will do that everytime you reboot.

For double tap to wake

Phone Won't start

So I just attempted to clean flash XZROM v3.2.1 and the process was going just fine. I made a backup in TWRP and then wiped all the necessary partitions and went ahead and flashed the ROM. The installer came up and I answered the questions; the install seemed to have gone fine. When prompted to reboot I did. The phone turned off and then attempted to turn back on... but it didn't. When I hold the power button, I get a single vibration like usual before the phone boots up. However, that is all that happens. Nothing shows up on the screen and I just get the same vibration every time I try to hold the power button again. I tried to plug in the charger and the LED blinks orange; it seems that the phone tries to boot when plugged in but fails and just endlessly tries again. I'm not sure where to go from here since I cannot plug the phone into my PC. BTW, the phone was not dead, it had about 60% battery left.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Blinking orange? That's something I haven't seen before. Have you tried pressing volume buttons repeatedly when you get the orange led, to boot into twrp?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
Yes, I have used the volume buttons. When I hold power and volume up, nothing happens. (this makes sense since this is the button combo for forced shutdown) When I press power and volume down, the phone just vibrates and then nothing happens. I tried a "simulated battery pull-out" by pressing the little off button in the microSD/sim card slot for 2 minutes., but it didn't help.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Try flashing 3.0 first,then flash 3.2.1
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
Can I do that somehow? I cannot boot the phone at all, this includes the recovery. In all my years rooting and flashing, this is the worst predicament I've ever been in. I would just restore my backup, or flash another ROM, but I cannot get into TWRP. Also, since the phone won't boot to the point where my PC can recognize it, I can't use ADB either.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
ill throw in another idea:

Open flashtool

Disconnect your phone from PC.

When flashtool is open force turn off your phone.

When phone is off, press and hold volume down button and connect your phone and see if it will bring you into flashmode.

If it does, atleast you can try to flash a clean firmware.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
Update on my issue

By holding volume down while plugging the phone into my PC, the phone seems to have booted to some extent. The LED flashed orange and then became a steady green. My PC then installed some driver. Problem is: the phone isn't recognized correctly; it comes up as an unknown device named "S1 Service." My computer makes a noise when I plug the phone in, but the screen still doesn't show anything and it does not boot.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Flashtool is telling me that drivers need to be installed. It doesn't seem to recognize my phone. My phone screen is still blank and there are no signs of booting, only the solid green LED.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Very weird issue you are describing lol.

Can you try now to restart your phone and try to get into twrp and see if that works now?

Or try getting into fastboot now is another option.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
It seems to be weirder. If I hold volume up when plugging in the phone to my PC, I get a blue LED. (I think that indicates fastboot, but "fasboot devices" gives no results)

If I hold volume up as I plug in: blue LED and the device comes up as "S1boot fastboot"

If I hold volume down as I plug in: green LED and the device comes up as "S1 service"

Maybe I need to reinstall some correct drivers? Any sources where I can get these? This is all so bizarre.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Have you looked in flashtool. Does it say connected in fastboot or connected in flashmode when you try these volume button combinations?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
No. It says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device."
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Hmm okay what model is your phone?

Try instal drivers from the driver package in flashtool and see if that changes anything?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
I have a Xperia Z5 E6653. I don't see Z5 in the flashtool drivers; it only goes up to Z3.

Edit:

When I tick both Fastboot and Flashmode drivers, they fail to install. I am running windows 10 if that matters.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Then you don't have the latest flashtool version I think. Latest version should be 0.9.22.3 I think. Google it and install it and try again.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
Thanks, but I actually just checked that. That is the newest version and I already have it. What I cannot figure out is why the general fasboot drivers fail to install.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
What version of Windows are you on? I believe in Windows 8 upto windows 10 you need to boot your pc without driver signature verification. That might be the reason your driver installation fails?

Btw weird though that Z5 is not showing in the flashtool drivers. It definitely should in the latest version.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] P Slim:
You were right about the drivers... I got them installed now.

My phone was successfully recognized by flashtool.

Now I have a question that I am afraid to ask because I'm pretty sure what the answer is:

When I use flashtool to flash a stock firmware, will all the data on the phone's internal storage be erased? If so, is there an alternative now that fastboot and flashmode are working?

Maybe I can move the files to the SD card somehow before flashing with flashtool? I can't access the phone's files by normal means using windows explorer.
