[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
The right way to do it was to backup your TA partition using an older Z5 firmware (I downgraded to .152 from .200 if I remember) BEFORE unlocking your bootloader.

You should have a "TA.img" or "DK.ftf" backed up somewhere containing your TA partition/DRM keys if you did it right. You flash that .ftf file using Flashtool to restore your TA parititon once you've upgraded your phone to the latest firmware
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordahari7:
Yes your right, first I downgrade to marshmallo use ivoyroot to backup my TA then unlock my bootloader.

but I didnt understand how should I flash the TA using the flash tool its only for kernels with drm fix, so how I should do it ? and with which version 6.0 or marshmalo?

and I also have taXXXX.img and dk.ftf
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
You MUST downgrade with flashtool (1) to a Lollipop build .200 (iovyroot temporary root works only on that) and then (2) restore TA.img backup you have (your personal backup from YOUR phone) using tarestore.bat from iovyroot .zip you can find here http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597

As said there:

"Flash stock firmware from flashtool (supported by iovyroot) (you are now unrooted)

Use tarestore.bat from iovyroot"

Don't get confused:

dk.ftf (made using TA.img) is for "getting DRM keys" on UNlocked/rooted bootloader with kernel supporting drmfix.

If you want to relock your BL you just need stock Lollipop, TA.img and iovyroot.zip
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordahari7:
Thank you, but I Need to click on tarestore.bat? or to open a command port in the folder? if yes which command I should run
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
- Put TA-XXXXX.img in the same folder with tarestore.bat

- Open a command window from the folder (SHIFT + right click in an empty space of the folder -> open command window)

- connect your device (you should have previously installed correct adb drivers)

- Input:

tarestore TA-XXXXX.img
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordahari7:
Which mode the phone should be? on or in fastboot?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
debug mode on (ADB), phone on
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
This doesn't work for me. It seems like it does, on the comptuer screen it indicates that the process is done, but in the service menu, nothing has changed. I don't get it.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
As this is not your topic, you should explain from the beginning what you "don't get" and what did you do and are trying to accomplish. Noone can help if you are so generic
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Sorry for being vague. I had backed up my TA partition prior to unlocking bootloader by downgrading to lollipop and using iovyroot. So to relock, I downgraded back to lollipop, and then tried the methods here. The text in the tarestore.bat that opens up does a few things, and then indicates that it's done, but my phone was still unlocked.

I then tried this:

adb push "root/iovyroot" "/data/local/tmp/iovyroot"

adb push "root/restore.sh" "/data/local/tmp/restore.sh"

adb push TA-XXXXXXXX.img "/data/local/tmp/TA.img"

adb shell

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/iovyroot

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/restore.sh

/data/local/tmp/iovyroot /data/local/tmp/restore.sh

and that finally worked. It seemed to do the exact same thing in the command prompt. So I don't know why that worked and the other methods didn't.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nown:
My 2 cents: a year ago, I needed to send my Z1 Compact for repair, and I did restore my TA backup as follows: I first restored TA-XXX.img using Backup-TA-9.XX while still using a custom rom with root (CM 12.1 actually). This soft bricked the phone (as I knew it would). Then, I flashed the latest stock firmware with flashtool, wiped everything, and boom, locked bootloader with the latest stock firmware. No need to downgrade! I don't know if it would work with a Z5, though...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acabreram:
You have to flash your firmware after complete the process to relock at least that worked for me.

Firmware that be compatible with iovyroot.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I didn't need to do that. I just needed to use ADB commands to get the whole thing to work. See my post above.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acabreram:
After use adb commands you have to flash the firmware.

But any way it'' your choice
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I didn't need to do that. I downgraded to lollipop, ran the commands, rebooted the phone, and my bootloader was locked. After that I flashed marshmallow because I don't want to be stuck on lollipop obviously, but i did not NEED to flash firmware for the bootloader lock to complete.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acabreram:
Well only like a simple comment I did

Downgrade lollipop

Ran adb commands tarestore TA-XXXXX.img

With flashtool flash lollipop (again)

Boot, activated developers options

Flash marshmallow

Boot and any thing restored bootloader:locked and drm marlin etc etc

And it's not necessary write in mayus I only try to help telling you how it worked for me.

Bye
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
Glad it worked :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duvel999:
So the flashtool can't relock the bootloader of the Z5?

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] vortecks:
Hi Guys,

I managed to brick my P9000 whilst trying to root it.

It doesn't power up at all and even the battery doesn't show when charging (it was at 95% before I broke it).

None of the SP Flash tool versions detect it but it does show up as a MediaTek DA USB VCOM in device manager so it can't be that bad..... can it?

Please help, I've only had the thing for 2 days :o
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Jonny:

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] vortecks:

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] vortecks:
Ok..... I fixed it!

If anyone has the same problem, you have to remove the back cover, take out 4 screws (to gain access to the battery connector), disconnect the battery and plug it back in.

I warn you, it's not easy!

Taking a brand new phone apart when there's zero instruction on how to do it, is rather nerving!
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] nephster:
Having just softbricked my P9000 - phone now completely unresponsive after a successful flash using SP Tools using a stock image - I'd appreciate a litle help :)

How do you start the process of removing the back cover? I can't see anywhere to start prying it up...
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] vortecks:
I used a scalpel and slowly started at one corner (obviously between the case and the back cover).

It does take quite a while and you have to be careful where the power/volume buttons are - the ribbon has some adhesive on it which sticks to the back cover.

What I suggest is work your way around by levering the back off with a scalpel (the point of the blade) until you can see inside but be careful, don't run anything under the cover to make things quicker, you stand a chance of damaging the ribbon cables. When it's free, gently lift the case from the opposite side to the power button and you'll be able to slide something in, to ease the ribbon cable from the case. I can only go by my own experience but yours might not have the adhesive between the ribbon cables and the case.

After the cover is off, it's just a case of removing a few screws and a few bits of plastic and popping the battery connector off and back on again.

All the best with it

Tony

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] nephster:
Thanks a mill Tony, and Vsrookie for the tips in your post.

I've aged ten years. Unplugging the battery alone didn't sort my problem, but I was able to get back to a booting, working phone (in bits!) after a lot of back and forth with SP Tools, META mode and installing drivers at the correct times.

Putting the bloody thing back together was something else, though. Back cover wouldn't fit back on properly at the top (turned out, one bit of the fingerprint assembly's lugs on the left was over rather than under the rim of the phone, keeping the cover from snapping down) . Then, while fiddling with this, the ****ing power button fell out, which led to having to figure out how it worked in order to attempt to put it back in.

Long story short, all sorted out, completely stock and wiped, and can now be returned to Amazon - unfortunately I'm frequently getting the dreaded sim tray errors with the SD and SIM cards and NFC won't work with my transit company's app so won't be keeping it... ho hum.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] vortecks:

Hello Guys,

I need your help.

I was trying to come back and old ROM of my new ELE P9000 for rooting it. I used Flash Tool (FT) and everything went fine; the firm was formatted and reinstalled and FT showed the "okay" message. After that, I tried to switch on the mobile but it does not work, even I can not open the Recovery System. FT does not recognize the Phone and I can not reinstall a firm; I am afraid it died.

I read this useful forum (thank you for sharing) and I switched off the battery as indicated (I think) but after reconnect the yellow cable of the battery and reinstall the screws and fix everything two times, the phone does not switch on, recovery system does not work and FT does not recognize the mobile and I can not reinstall software. Level battery shall be almost 50%.

I would like to attach pics about the surgery I did and I would like to know if it was done right or not, but I do not how to insert it.

Please, advises/instructios for realive the phone.

Thank you in advance
