Maybe using a hair dryer to warm and soften up the plastic might help????

Not sure if it will work....just a thought

Thanks for the tip, but won't it affect the LCD? I mean all that hot air?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] Fstylemusix:
Dont blow directly at the screen...do it at an angle and at 8-12 inches away.

It shouldnt take more than a minute

Thanks. Worked very well, after it softened I stuck a bit of Scotch tape and peeled it out. (y)

Is there any modified STOCK KERNAL for Z5 (dual)? or anything similar which contains TWRP recovery? I've been searching a lot of threads but I can't seem to find any. Thanks for the reply.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] konstantinos3:
In which step are the DRM keys recovered/restored?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
at the end you can restor DRM KEYS using same tool

https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases

however the Kernels by [MENTION=5410058]KbaB.BroS[/MENTION] already have DRM Stimulation so as of now even if you don't restore keys, it will be just fine. however keeping them SAFE for any future situation would be RECOMENDED

Knows someone who can I Root mijn Sony Xperia Z5 premium dual sim? Please help!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] konstantinos3:
In case I don't want simulation, will the keys be restored normally onto these Kernels?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] -DM-:
Use iovyroot, that other backup TA is a bit old last update was 2014...

When you backup with iovyroot using tabackup.bat you'll have TA-(numbers).img file (keep it safe somewhere as this is your unique and personnel backup)

To fully restore your keys on an unlocked bootloader, copy your TA partition backup to the rootkernel folder...command prompt to the rootkernel folder and type:

flash_dk TA-(numbers).img restore-drm-keys.ftf

You'll get a file called restore-drm-keys.ftf

Now use flashtool to flash it and all your keys will be restored (including fido)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] konstantinos3:
"rootkernel folder" is where i have saved the kernel on my pc?

Thanx a lot for the instructions and excuse me if i make "silly" questions :angel::angel::angel:
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] -DM-:
The rootkernel folder from tobias tool, right click in that folder to open a command prompt...

Edit: if you go to the iovyroot thread, read the the 1st and 2nd post to understand what you're doing... In the 2nd post there is a link that will explain in details the all process, just adapt it to your own device...

To find out if your keys are re-enabled after you flashed them go to the services menu and under test/security you should see the 3 keys on top "active" and the fido key "provisioned"...that means that all your keys are back, if the fido key is not provisioned then your keys are only emulated...hope that it's a bit more clear now ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
the kernal made by [MENTION=5410058]KbaB.BroS[/MENTION] has DRM Stimulation enabled,

if you are making your own modified stock kernel then don't enable DRM Stimulation.

however modifying kernel is risky. be extra careful!

Mr [MENTION=5613633]YasuHamed[/MENTION] after 2 days rooting ,,, my google play store disconnected from the internet why ? how can i solve this problem i can't connect to the play store and everytime Check Connection
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
is this problem

1. with play store only ?

2. how about rest of the apps? (chrome / viper / whatsAPP)

3. or are u facing connectivity issue globally?

you mentioned first two days after rooting this means initially it was working just fine... what apps you installed and allowed root access via superSU ?

please specify....

my WILD guess is that you might be having DNS issues (but that was OLD time issue in Cynogenmod (build in Gingerbread) that you have to specify DNS in settings globally....
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] kofta2020:
Yes with google play store only and the other apps working normally ... Iam using only xmod with root permision .. I dont know why play store only disconnected from the internet how can i solve it
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
check if

1. google play services in the apps is running or not.

2. select playstore from apps and clear the data and restore factory version. restart device and try.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] kofta2020:
1- how can i check if play services running or not ?

2- Cleared data and cache and nothing happen same problem

How to flash E6883__rootkernel_Nougat_boot_and_drmfix_flashable .zip

After flash stock firmare .376 by flashtool, I do not know how to flash "E6883__rootkernel_Nougat_boot_and_drmfix_flashable.zip". Please help me the way to flash this zip file! I use windows.

Thanks for all.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
waisay actually i never had battery drain issues! lakin yes i am also on Superuser now!

for that you must flash kernel and system from flashtool! if you wana keep the app data you can keep! but if you keep apps data, superSU files will not be removed! so YES you have perform CLEAN WIPE all over again!

as we speak! the new script 5.22 is out! , repack your kernel with that one! and my suggestion don't patch superuser via script! FLASH it as zip from twrp!

i remember! your kernel which patched don't have either supersu or superuser! so you should be okay if you reflash that kernel after clean install/flashing of .376.tft
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
you don't have to simply flash that file! it was for drm fix when script was not able to patch kernel! ignore

what is your device? E6883? if yes then download

extract and patch your kernel yourself!

i understand its a bit stretch! so send me your kernel.sin file from .376.ftf (use 7zip) and i will flash it for u
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] atif_afzal:
Thanks brother today i will do this and let you know. One thing this time i will flash superuser not superSU. So after flash the superuser what version of superuser i have to install from play store or there is no need to install.

I figure out whats the problem for battery draining wih me. May be i am wrong but now battery draining gone. Every time after follow all steps i also flash DK.FTF (TA BACKUP) with flash tool. This time i did not flash my DK.FTF and battery drain resolved. Its very strange thing on MM flashing DK.FTF improve battery timing and on N start draining battery i am very much surprised why it happened. Its my TA backup.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
yess bro! you SHOULD NOT restore ta backup file since DRM fix is in place! it raises conflict

if you wana do that ! i will make another kernel for you with

- Install DRM fix? [Y/n] N

so that you must restore your original TA.img and DRM KEYS!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] atif_afzal:
Thanks brother
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] atif_afzal:

If i want to restore my original TA.backup should i disable both belows lines

1-dm-verity is enabled. Disable? (Say yes if you modify /system) [Y/n] N

2-Install DRM fix? [Y/n] N

Or i should have to only disable this

Install DRM fix? [Y/n] N

@yasuHamed:

Dear brother i know that which i am going to ask you its a offtopic quetion but if you want then i will make s new thread in answer question.

In old xperia models there is one topic about a list of blotwares applications. Is it possible that you will let us know list of preinstall list which we can remove and there is no effect of these application on system or any sort of script which will remove all that blotwares. I removed some preinstalled app and disable some apps it helps me to make phone faster and also helps to increase the battery time. I belive there are more apps which i need your help to remove that if it is possible.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] YasuHamed:
DM- VARITY is google security patch running since android 6.x (mostly) ( but on miui 8, its active on android 5x) . if you don't disable this one, the device will never boot and sony logo will let to take into bootloops. YOU MUST disable this one at any case.

however since you have drm keys and ta backups, you can skip

Install DRM fix? [Y/n] N

now for restoring

1. https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases has script that simply REINSTATE TA BACKUPS ( please read the log)

however atif bro, some time back i saw this post

2. https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/sony-drm-fix-poc-fantastic-news-t3555097

it says that once you have that modified kernel ready with drm fix NO, put it in that script with your TA backups . the READ ME section says that this tool modify boot.img file further by making it believe that bootloader was never unlocked with YOUR xperias original TRIM AREA details (TA).

again i never tried 1 nor 2

if i were u, i would have tried 2 butttt i am afraid it may brick my device!

so carefully speaking try no1. your xperia is not a lab rat ;)

Hi!

First of all, this is not a DRM fix! This makes things much like a real locked bootloader device!
Tool patch your kernel and mounts TA.img to an loop device on an unlocked bootloader device
and makes your android the same like having never unlocked bootloader! Things is apsolutly
the same and real like your never unlocked bootloader!

How to use: Put your trim area backup (TA.img) overwriting TA.img
in our archive since I have included TA.img as an example!
Do the same with kernels since kernels!

ONLY NOUGAT & MARHMALOW STOCK KERNELS CURENTLY TESTED.
DOUBLECLICKME_NOUGAT is for nougat android only!
DOUBLECLICKME_MM is for marchmalow android only!
DOUBLECLICKME_JB is for all androids before marchmallow!

Supported kernel image formats: sin, elf, img, which mean almost all.

I have included some spaces in my tool for everybody who need to add something
to the ramdisk, in our case tool search for script.bat (in case windows)
or script.sh (in case linux), if tool found script tool executes that script,
which mean you can add your own things for your needs!

Enjoy!

about bloatware.

-it varies from devices to devices, regions to region, build to build and versions to version. All four combinations given at a time and location.

- for example Jellybean build on xperia Ion in Pakistan may have some sony Ericsson apps which is not required (2012)

- Kitkat build 4.4.4 for xperia z ( C6602 / C6603 ) Saudia arabia had playstation, and deejee dating app which can be removed.

- if we are talking about unrooted sony phones, sony in xperia allows many apps to be DISABLED if you don't want to use; which is clear indicator that device can work just fine even if you disable them. it won't allow you to disable WHATS NEW , LOUNGE PASS, MY XPERIA, XPERIA MOBILE TRANSFER etc. and in my personal xperience, with rooted fone you can disable and remove and phone will work fine.

- i even once disable software update and it worked just fine.

- in general , process, starting with COM.SONYERICSSON.xxxxx SHOULD NEVER BE TOUCHED.

for xperia z5p i may start a separate post about my experience in changing apps atleast in android N

how did u do that? i mean in miui you can toggle between thumbnails (context) and icons only in recent app tray. but i am still looking / searching option to toggle between xperia!

you are using icon only mode when toggling between apps! so the context inside is missing in order to save memory.

the only reference so far i found is that in miui under battery optimization you can restrict apps and if you do that miui force icons over context thumbnails....

still searching for xperia!
