[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurl:
no not quite, as I said I want to update the custom rom, but I can't flash another rom because my bootloader has been locked and I can't unlock it again.

the escape plan would be to flash stock rom back onto it, but I'd like to keep supersu if possible.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufece:
Did you try to unlock it again?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurl:
no, the site that provides the guide and key to unlock the bootloader specifically says I can't unlock it if the status says unlocked allowed: no

are you saying I should try anyway? other forums says there is no way around it if unlocked allowed is no.

the reason I haven't tried is the threat of having my data wiped without actually unlocking it
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufece:
If you can enter recovery then make a full backup

lock and unlock your bootloader as many times as u want by FLASHTOOL. just keep the key with you

or even if you lost the key! request new from sony website.

I have the T-Mobile wing and I know registry and know my way around the phone and WM6 but I was curious of how to put a new ROM on my phone is it hard? can I screw up my phone? and were do I get ROMs? and can someone provide me with some instructions on how to do it?

I am not an expert but I think I made mistake, the correct name is Safety Net.

Some check done by google, if device is rooted or modded, it will block some apps from running especially payment related stuff.

It appears that magisk is the workaround as it is sysyemless and the root can be disabled

Oficial twrp its working ok. You need to format data first.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chawlasrijan:
I know official works, just the new one he uploaded didn't, but then he fixed it with another one.

Also, format data for mounting issue ?

If I Format data to remove encryption, the device doesn't boot to OS & a message is popped up saying your device is corrupted, press the power button to turn off.

Then I have to start from scratch, flash MM then relock, then Update to N using OTA
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] auras76:
Witch the oficial i can get root, but by flashing anything to system not working.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] karrouma:
try selinux when installing into system you can change the mount and you can flash to system

same as 4.4.4 to android 5 (now 6to7)

You can change the Selinux status manualy with a terminal from playstore.

Type "su" in it and press enter (for root premision)

Type "getinforce" and press enter. (you see which selinux status you have)

Type "setenforce 0" and press enter to get premissive status

And type "setenforce 1" and press enter to get enforce status back again

Could anyone guide us the "right" way of upgrading to Nougat with UL BL from marshmallow?

Could I just flash the nougat FW without wiping data, afterward flash kernel and it should work?

Edit: Nevermind, flashtool isn't capable of handling nougat yet.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hospital349:
This was my method.

Disclaimer: I had to wipe.

1. Relock Bootloader.

2. Flash old Marshmallow firmware, via Flashtool. (Make sure it's for one, that already has a Nougat update - I have a CE1 Marshmallow firmware download. If you're struggling to locate, an older version, I can share it).

3. Boot phone and wait for initial setup screen.

3. Upgrade to Nougat, after initial setup. (Skip through the setup, as you'll need to wipe userdata anyway.)

4. Unlock bootloader, via Flashtool.

5. After unlocking bootloader, enter Fastboot Mode, by holding volume up, whilst connecting your phone to the PC.

6. Whilst in Fastboot Mode, Flash AndroPlusKernel v17 DRM fix version, by [MENTION=5733862]BlackSoulxxx[/MENTION] using Command Prompt and the following command line: Fastboot flash boot bootname.img (making sure that you replace bootname.img, with the actual filename, followed by .img - Also, you should navigate to the files location, on your hard drive, via Command Prompt - eg. cd c:/android SDK (enter) and then Fastboot flash boot bootname.img, once you're in the correct location, of the file. (I'm a Windows user, so I'm not sure what the methodology, would be for Linux)

6. When booting up for the first time, you'll probably find a password screen. If/when you do, you'll need to do the following:

Download a Nougat Firmware, of your choice, Via Flashtool's XperiFirm and then bundle the newly downloaded firmware, via Flashtool. You'll only need to bundle, userdata.sin, as it is this which will help us to bypass the password issue.

7. After bundling, enter Flashmode, navigate to C:\Users\username\.flashTool\firmwares and select your firmware, from the list. You should only see userdata.sin, as your main content. Make sure that you select to wipe userdata and then FLASH. This will wipe and newly flash userdata.sin.

8. Now, boot up your phone, with Nougat & AndroPlusKernel installed.

***As an addition, you can bundle other bits, in Flashtool, as long is you don't flash System.sin (as it's causing the errors). I downloaded a UK firmware (as I live in the UK) and flashed the modem.sins - just in case they support different bands to the original Central Europe Marshmallow firmware, that I originally flashed***

Hope this helps! :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Nilleiz:
Wow thanks a lot!

Actually I managed it myself just half an hour ago.

Did mainly what you described.

Relock bl

Flash stock mm with all wipes ticked in flash tool

Ota upgraded to nougat.

Unlocked bl.

Flashed kernel and recovery.

Then had the problem with password what I solved by wiping data in twrp.

Then booted nougat and installed supersu.

And now everything's working as it should. :cool:

Thank you again anyway!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hospital349:
Sweet! So between your explanation and mine, users can now upgrade, quite confidently. :)

Thanks for clarifying the TWRP method. I've become so used to using fastboot, that I forgot all about it! :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fatguy666:
Hey, where did you get the Marshmallow firmware, and can you share if possible? Can only seem to find the 3 branded one, but I'm on EE - left 3 because they didn't do the XZ!

Cheers.

EDIT - It's cool, found it. Search for "F8331 39.0.A.3.30 Central Europe 1" and it should be the top hit. Now back to the drawing board!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nolihowell:
Yes I have finally be able to flash the latest nougat f8332 twrp recovery without issues because I'd prefer to used the suggested androplus kernel with drm fix.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Venom71:
That's sony's image enhancement's delay, not DRM fix's fault.

After TWRP-3.0.2-3-kagura.img Phone not starting

IÂ´ve installed the newest Nougat Firmware 39.2.A.0.327 (German) with the latest Flashtool. The Xperia XZ works perfect :) But then I flash TWRP-3.0.2-3-kagura.img and now the phone is not starting. After flashing with Flashtool again, the phone works, all apps and datas are here. WhatÂ´s wrong with the recovery, or did i make a mistake? Must I flash the XZ_AndroPlusKernel_v17 before? Is this all possible without lost of data and Apps? And last questions: Did the XZ_AndroPlusKernel_v17 had the DRM Fix included for the XZ?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nolihowell:
Yes if you unlocked your bootloader you supposed to flash a custom kernel for your firmware and flash the suggested twrp version. The current nougat twrp recovery doesnt support a stock kernel in this case on your nougat. Stock kernel comes prebuilt in the stock firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] spike7701:
Ok thanks. Then i hope there is a new Version from TWRP for the lates Nougat Firmware on the way. But flashing AndroPlus Kernel AND TWRP (in this order) is right? I do this after waiting for complete Nougat Support to my Firmware included the DRM Fix. Thanks for your great work guys!
