[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I can only think that your backup is corrupt. Also, instead of booting into Android and performing a factory reset that way, just go into the advanced wipe section of TWRP and wipe only data. Maybe you'll just need to flash the factory images to get the phone booting up fresh again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathSentinels:
That's where it gets interesting, I've flashed the factory 6.0.1 image, then flashed twrp, created the back up again, did the advanced wipe as you said, did the restore again, and same result, at around 39% of the recovery the phone reboots and the back up gets corrupt. My main goal is to make sure this back up absolutely works before I root and start playing around with flashing xposed modules, but I'm unable to do a successful restore for the life of me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I'm stumped, I really don't know why it wouldn't be working if you're performing the backup the way you say you are. Sorry I can't be more helpful. If it's any consolation, a backup probably isn't strictly necessary because you can always get back to stock by flashing the factory images.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathSentinels:
I'm stumped too, I've been able to do this effortlessly in the past with this phone, my Nexus 9 and m8 GPE, it wasn't until I upgraded to N and reverted back to 6.0.1 this started to happen. I've even gone as far as trying different versions of twrp, but have had the same result.

I'm just worried in a worst case scenario I'm away from a comp, something crashes and I can't do a restore via twrp, I could be SOL until I get to a comp with adb.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAC.IT:
i had a similiar problem , but when i got into the stock image , i went into settings and did a factory reset from there , no worries your BL stays unlocked , once thats done get whatever apps you want back , disable fingerprint /security junk , then boot into bl just like the guide says , youll be able to fastboot install recovery , (boot back into bl, then scroll to recovery and start a gain) then make your backups yor OG & EFS , then reboot , get su reboot into recovery install and yould be be fine , i think you can also try fastboot format userdata , as well
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Just keep a ROM zip + gapps on your phone at all times, if you run into trouble you can flash that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAC.IT:
That definitely makes sense , i always dk that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] c30t04:
Just something come up in my mind for S7 Edge. Is it possible to use heart rate sensor as 2nd fingerprint sensor (other than home button)? Perhaps someone could come up with an app ?Thanks. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lambstone:
Spoken like someone who has no knowledge about how a heart rate sensor or fingerprint sensors work.

No it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bazzar1206:
But what if...

The fingerprint will only unlock your phone if it senses a heart beat on the heart rate sensor as well. To the normal person, if they have chopped your finger off, still wont think to also put their finger on the heart monitor. Genius idea!

Yeap totally no idea about it anyway thanks for the info :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Which means any living person could unlock your phone.

The heart rate sensor can't read your fingerprint. It's not designed for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bazzar1206:
I don't think you understand what I said. True the sensor only reads the heartbeat and not the print. But the phone would have to have a heart beat AND a your chopped off finger at the same time to unlock the phone. No one would think of this unlock method and the adult photos on your phone would be safe for another day!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lambstone:
But now that you've put this out there. Its pointless. People can cut off your finger and use their pulse to unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lvalice:
Except the finger print scanners on phones require the same thing that makes capacities touch screens work. Conductivity between the surface and the item pressing on the surface. Conductivity is the reason why a gloved finger doesn't work on a smart phone, why a common pen or pencil doesn't work either, or why a wet or submerged screen also wont work. The finger print scanner is the same way, not working when wet because it needs something that a non-severed alive finger print could only provide, conductivity. Even if we lived in a fantasy world where someone did make security that required an authorized finger print with a working pulse, would be pointless because the scanner itself wouldn't work with a severed finger, so what would the heart-rate sensor accomplish. And even if that WAS the case, engineers would have just made the much simpler route of integrating the heart rate sensor and finger print scanner together as one surface.

HOWEVER keep in mind that people do have different heartbeats, but any heart rate monitor on a phone shouldn't be sophisticated enough to detect minute details like that.

But all of this, doesn't even take into consideration that Android's best and brightest security measures are still being undermined by hundreds of people every day through internet tutorials. Theres no need for a fingerprint, when there are routes you can take that go completely around the requirement of fingerprint. Like 75% of XDA in the last 10 years has practically been JUST about getting around the securities of people's phones just for customizing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bazzar1206:
Okay. If you're holding the severed finger with your fingers, surly that's keeping the circuit? What about if you also have to keep the phone at a certain angle, also blow into the microphone at a certain level AND rotate the phone 360 degrees. Now that's security that no one can crack! You may look a little silly on the underground unlocking your phone but it's worth it so no one can find out that you have the latest Kardashian game installed.

Introduction:

@myself5 and I were in need for a custom stock kernel to mess with. Since all the available Options were not fitting our needs, or gave us bad experience on some aspects, and we knew about Zombie Kernel from Tom, we decided to start working on that. So I brought up support for the Z5, we ported Kexec to it, updated it to 224 and added various things. Since the kernel gave us very good experiences, we decided to make it accessible to the public.

About:

This Kernel is based on @Tommy-Geenexus Zombie Kernel. He was ok with us continuing/porting his projects, so myself5 and I started to create the "oshmoun Myself5 Zombie Kernel" aka OM5Z Kernel.

Features and Commit History:

Check 2nd Post!

Installation Instruction:

THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!

You can either flash the provided boot.img via fastboot, or flash the zip in recovery.

Additional Information:

The Kernel is underclocked by default. Both Cluster are underclocked to 1,344/1,536 GHz respectively, resulting into HUGE Temperature improvements. However, due to public demand, V2 features the ability to disable the underclock (in case you need to make some baked Eggs real quick, whatever). All you need to do is run this code after boot (Kernel Adiutor has the abilty to execute scripts at startup, just a reminder).

echo "0:4294967295 1:4294967295 2:4294967295 3:4294967295 4:4294967295 5:4294967295 6:4294967295 7:4294967295" > /sys/module/msm_performance/parameters/max_cpu_freq

What it effectively does, is resetting the max clock limit for each core to the default (unset) values, allowing you to set whatever frequency (from the ones available ofc) you want.

Thanks a lot to those who have donated!​

Additional Information:

Some stock kernels require different Recovery Images than AOSP Kernels. We set an end too this, and fixed init_sony, rather than using some very outdated software which somehow works. This means, you might need to use a different recovery with this kernel if you're currently on a "stock" recovery. We're hoping that other stock kernel devs adapt our solution, so we can set an end to the old scripts.

Not sure what you mean with stock recovery though.

Thanks for your great work. I ran into an issue with root acting weird after kernel install. It actually messed up binary folders. I have no idea how but apps were getting root denial with this awesome kernel.

Intsallation went ok with twrp 3.0.2.0. So no issues there.

Have you guys noticed this kind of behaviuor with the kernel?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Deleted member 4819888:
ok sorry about that. I think I should update the recovery thread to mention that it's not maintained anymore.

Yes there is a device check, but usually if that fails then it would tell you what it was expecting (in this case that'd be suzuran, E5823, E5803).

Could you please try the multirom recovery. It's basically TWRP only with multirom additions. The multirom recovery works pretty well regardless if you have multirom installed or not.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] ninestarkoko:
Good to see another kernel in the panorama! As soon as i get the latest MM update, i'll surely test it.

However i'm interested in the standby consumption during night, did you test it? every stock based kernel-rom combination seems to be plagued by high drainage even in offline mode without particular wakelocks
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] fridlack:
After installing the multi recovery ( via fastboot, zip file had the same problem) I install zip kernel without problems, thanks so much!

But now I have a new problem, can not update supersu binaries, got an error, I tried to install stable and beta supersu and same result with both, anyone with the same problem?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Mmmiku:
Yep. I have exact the same issue. Su wants to update binary without success. It doesn't matter which su I use.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Yes this is an issue of the ramdisk. I simply couldn't get supersu to work any other way but using the ramdisk from XPower, which seems to cause this issue. Don't worry though, supersu will work regardless.

The XPower ramdisk also includes drm fix, so you don't need to flash that again.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] fridlack:
Hi

Anyone know if this kernel include the patch that fix the battery drain from the 5beta version from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3301605?

Thanks! Found it in the Xpower thread. I'll compare ramdisks and see if he's done anything new that affects battery life.

EDIT: ramdisk has some changes to the way drmfix is done, and how supersu is installed. Also some changes to the place TWRP but definitely no changes that affect battery :(

Whatever fix for the battery drain he did, it's not there, but he says he simply repacked stock kernel so that's weird o.O
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] mele80:
Kernel in xpower thread is patched kernel from betav5 that fixes flashing for xpower. It should be the same as beta5 but with fixes for xpower rom. Not sure why, but you could not flash beta5 with xpower.

I just to have about 8-10% battery drain over night. Yesterday i lost 0% in 8hr. It is of course early days and we will see in few days how it works

V2 is out, go get it!

OM5Z V2 is now ready to be downloaded from dl.myself5.de

Please refer to changelog in 2nd post for what's new.

Perhaps I'm being dumb but I don't see the file in the download link. Is there a direct link to the V2 kernel?

EDIT:

Ok they appear to be here... https://dl.myself5.de/sumire/OM5Z Kernel/

Which one do I need to DL? Either of the V2 ones that aren't labelled dsds (since i dont have that model)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Frontier3:
Attempted to flash what I downloaded on two different versions of .253 both with unlocked bootloader... both times the phone sort of acts like it's booted up but the screen only shows black.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
what? no don't flash files from sumire folder! Those are for the Z5!

sumire = Z5

suzuran = Z5C

so download from here
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Frontier3:
Ah, yes that would be a good reason why it didn't work.

I am using the rootkernel version for 253 right now, if it seems to still have the battery drain I'll try this again.

Did it say somewhere which folder I should be downloading from? It seemed very confusing.

Excuse me [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION]? I'm just wondering: What is the difference between boot_sumire_dsds_OM5Z_V2.0_253.img and OM5Z-Kernel-V2.0-M-sumire_dsds.zip

Which of them should be use for Z5 Dual running .253 firmware?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
That'd be sumire_dsds.

Just for info:there's a thread for OM5Z in the Z5 forum.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] sirdoha:
So both of them could be use for 253 firmware?

And the difference is .zip is for TWRP and .IMG is for fastboot?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Yes that's the difference between zip and img in this case
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] sirdoha:
Is this Kernel deodexed yet? I mean Can I install Xposed Framework on this Kernel with Stock 253 Firmware? :)

The kernel has nothing to do with odex/deodex.

To answer your question though, yes. Xposed works on stock 253 firmware.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Please flash v1 in this case. Hopefully xpower will be updated soon
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] dkorst:
How do I use this kernel and be rooted? Do I run the .img through rootkernel? Thanks.

Edit: I was able to get the kernel to allow root access via the use of rootkernel, but after struggling with TWRP on it for hours I gave up and reverted back to the stock patched kernel. If anyone knows how to get TWRP to work with this kernel, I would much appreciate it. Rootkernel couldn't install TWRP on it, and although I installed TWRP through the app store, I could not boot to TWRP recovery. It would just boot right back into the android OS. I am hesitant to flash anything over adb because I'm not sure how I would recover my phone without TWRP.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Solution is pretty simple. Flash a separate recovery.img!

Rootkernel patches boot.img and adds twrp ramdisk there. This won't work with OM5Z as the ramdisk is a bit different.

You can flash the multirom recovery found in the multirom thread. Then you'll have a running TWRP version with OM5Z.

And about supersu, you can simply flash if from twrp once you can access it, no need for rootkernel.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] jensema:
Hi there, using version 2. I have great battery life.
