Wow, this is so cool, I got these three working together:

EliteKernel + Systemless Root + Systemless Xposed

Download the 4 prerequisite files from the links below.

(Of course you have EliteKernel already installed)

Uninstall 'Official Xposed Installer'

'Full unroot' via SuperSU menu,

flash 'Official Xposed Framework Uninstaller',

flash 'Phh's Superuser-r242'

flash 'Romracers Xposed Systemless'

no wipes, reboot to system,

Install 'Phh's superuser' app from Play Store,

Install 'Material Design Xposed Installer'

So, what's the deal with systemless ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
The root method is OpenSource software, unlike closed sourced SuperSU, which belongs to JJWorld (Beijing) Network Technology Co., LTD.

As with anything, there are advantages and disadvantages to gaining root access with the systemless method.

The systemless root method is cleaner, since it doesn’t add or modify files in the /system partition.

There are certain services and apps, that simply won’t work on system rooted devices.

Hi Robot76, Thank you for your reply. It's actually you that brought me here. I'm also Slimm user. I'm not convinced yet to go the extra step.

Also 'considering' your post about the systemless root. Also, not quite sure yet. For example, how about the Slimm updates, etc,....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yessss![emoji3]

I know what you mean..

No one can suggest one way or the other...

Unlocking the bootloader is some serious choice, that only you can decide on. I was in the anti unlock group before, but at the present moment, things have improved to be about a 50/50 decision, and slightly tipping a little. But if you're staying on locked, keep rocking the locked, until who knows...

[emoji7]

SLiMM updates are the same, everything's the same, except flashing DRM restore zip. Or using this kernel, but apart from this, there is no difference with installing updates etc.

Personally it was some scary stuff, as it's permanent, [emoji23]

**In the future it's always good to backup your TA partition, before attempting serious stuff like unlocking, and place your DRM keys at more than one external location, I've heard people accidentally deleting their keys...

Hey,

I seem to have a physical problem with my phone. its still on warranty so I want to send it for repairs.

I don't want to send it in with an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel. So before I do that I want to factory reset it.

Few questions; How do I factory reset a phone with a custom kernel? I assume I need to re-lock my bootloader? what is the easiest way to do so?

If I create a full TWRP recovery of my system, will I be able to flash it in on a stock MM with root? or will I have to reinstall everything again?

Are you talking about this one? http://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709

Really confusing thread...

Downloaded a file named 'ARISE Sound Systems Numbers 3.5.zip '

Is this the one I should flash? (Yes,I'll keep Nandroid backup of course)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yes, that one...

-Updated-

(Method is the same as with Numbers)

It is the best, but the instructions are huge, but luckily Deuteronomy is easy...

Here's how:

Download the Arise Deuteronomy zip from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66865734

Sound mods don't mix, so if you have an existing sound mod, Flash SLiMM dirty first, no wipes. (This will only clean your system, so no data will be lost)

1. Flash Deuteronomy

2. Flash Dolby Atmos for Deuteronomy by Ahrion (located at the same place of Deuteronomy downloads)

Boot to system

3. Create a directory in SDcard ViPER4Android if not there already (/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android)

4. Copy all the Profiles folders (eg. Audiophile X folder), DDC folders, and Kernel folders files from the zip (ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy.zip/extras/post-install user activities/ViPER4Android Profiles

Play music with Sony Music Player or the provided Esira Player

5. Open ViPER4Arise FX app, and from the settings menu, UI setting, Expert.

From the settings menu, Load Effect Profile, Audiophile X (The default profile)

(If convolver is checked, re-select the impulse response profile displayed)

(Also in headphones, enable DDC if you can find your headphones in the list)

(Electronic music favours 60Hz, 8db in Viper Bass section. Rock, heavy metal etc. Default 40Hz, 13db)

**In rare cases, make sure enable - re-enable storage permissions for all Dolby and ViPER4Arise FX

6. Enjoy!!! And give your thanks to the Arise thread...

***The Arise thread has active helpers, and an active telegram group with live help...

[emoji7]

To save battery usage remember to turn off both ViPER4Arise and Dolby Atmos when not in use.

Convolver also uses more power...

Thanks. I attempted to perform an OTA update in preparation of following that tut now I'm stuck in some killer bootloop. I went from slimm 3.3 ->3.6 with the OTA, it attempted to optimize apps, rebooted and now it's stuck. I thought maybe it was conflict with elite kernel so I re-flashed and still no luck. Also tried the xposed uninstaller. Thought maybe it was all the phh/systemless xposed boot image changes so I restored an untouched version from recovery but still won't boot to completion. Anything to try so I don't loose the data or just give up and do full restore/install?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:

Flash SLiMM full, no wipes (This will only wipe /System/ your apps and data will remain), then OTA, then flash EliteKernel, boot into system and start again.

Heh I was in a rush earlier so I just went with a full restore. For next time though, if I were going from 3.3 -> 3.6, you recommend flashing full 3.3 image then 3.6 OTA? Now that I have magisk installed, you always have to uninstall it before an OTA?

Also I went ahead with your directions on magisk/phh, and it looks like you have to choose between systemless xposed being enabled and safetynet check bypass? Was hoping for something that would allow both, not even sure what the point of having magisk is now if I can't conceal xposed at will (without reboot). Looks like we don't even need magisk for concealing phh superuser as it already is hidden so what's the point of having it? :(

I moved your discussion to the Kernel thread.. And even if you finished it actually I want to say some words to this topic because I was in the same situation as fjompah - And guess - He is right!

Flashing EliteKernel installes automaticly an strange and outdated version of busybox (and several symlinks) to sbin folder.

Here you will find also that an SU-symlink links to busybox... Why? Don't know... Make no sence for me actually...

But this is what we have: An file called SU (even if its not THE SU binary) and Root checkers (try Root Validator - with this I was able to see that I had two SU's installed...) as well as my Banking-App are finding this false alarm! Costs me some hours to find out why flashing EliterKernel leads into security issues - even if it's actually an false alarm :)

For me I de- and repacked the boot.img and replaced the existing busybox with new busybox (1.25) which does not install this su-symlink...

Or you can make an ini.t script deleting this su symlink on each reboot....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
This only happens when Su is not unrooted properly:

I believe people are installing Su twice, because they did not unroot SuperSU properly.

Consider using UnSU by Osmosis.

Others are using Phh.superuser app, but are actually using Su from SuperSU...

I unrooted successfully so I do not have two SU's

[emoji7]

EliteKernel does not contain Su

A.R.I.S.E Z3C SLiMM EliteKernel Phh.superuser Systemless Substratum
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
First I have to correct myself: It was folder vendor/bin (and not sbin) were this symlink ("su to busbox") showed up.

And this is the folder were EliteKernel is installing his busybox (with all that other "normal" symlicks) to...

Actually I cannot reproduce it anymore why this symlink shown up. Today after normal unrooting and reflashing (the EliteKernel just for test) this su symlik is not there! But last time it was! And on each reboot again - even if it was deleted by me manually.

That was the reason why I tounght that the busybox of EliteKernel is making that symlink. I and I do not mean the real SU binary - Just a symlink!

I used UnSU for month alerady - But if you look closer in installer code you'll see that this do not check vendor/bin - Actually there is no reason to do so....

Main if is that su (not the real binary) can show up "somewere" else and could limt other apps from starting.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fjompah:
The busybox supplied is built with su, so running busybox --install would create a su symlink to busybox.

I just tried by flashing the boot.elf from SlimmRom and then elitekernel, and there is

/vendor/bin/su -> /vendor/bin/busybox

Are you sure you didn't reflash your repacked version of elitekernel?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
I'm sure... ? because I checked BB version afterwards.. It was 1.23... mine is with 1.25
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fjompah:
Hehe, ok [emoji14]

Well i get a symlink to su, and I'm guessing that's enough to trip safetynet.

Flashing hidesu removes it tho.
