[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] simonali68:
Well, I bought another one. Having said they were readily available, I've since found out that wasn't quite true. I got the last one in the store and they're no longer on sale where I got it (Argos).

I rooted my last one quite simply back in the day and my PC was running Windows 7, but had hours and hours of frustration trying to do this one on W10, as I couldn't find drivers that would play nicely when debugging was switched on! Got there eventually, though. The old one had been dropped once or twice before its terminal fall and the screen refused to rotate even though the accelerometers were all functioning, so it's good to have one that works readily again.

[General Questions and Answers] Phantasmagoriah:
Hello All,

Hopefully you might be able to help me. I flashed Echoed_Rom_G930_Multi-Carrier on my unlocked T-Mobile galaxy S7, currently on the MetroPCS network. Everything looks great, except for the fact that I have no cellular coverage: phone, sms, data, anything. Whoops.

My carrier is MetroPCS but seeing as they use the T-Mobile network I imagine this should work, and I was careful to select the T-Mobile option as I was installing the rom. I also made sure to double check that my APN is configured properly, but that doesn't seem to be affecting this issue at all. :T

Next I went in and tried to search manually for networks. I could see T-Mobile along with several other carriers in my area, but when I tried to select T-Mobile it hung for several minutes and wouldn't acquire a connection to the network.

Do I need to do something within the rom to fix this? Will I need to just flash back to stock and wait for a later update of the rom to patch this activation issue? My expertise lies more in rooting than in troubleshooting roms, so any help would be appreciated. Let me know if there are any screenshots or additional information that I can provide that might help troubleshoot this issue if at all possible.

Thanks.

I just downloaded it via XperiFIRM and then flashed via flashtool.

works nice, no major improvement so far !!

- new boot delivery

- New Kernel module (can be repacked with SuperSU, but not TWRP :( )

- old camera, no improvement.

- sometimes shows "fingerprint hardware not available" error

- Antutu score - 56048 (bench marked right after full wipe flash)

- kinda slow to start heating (maybe improvement via sacrificing performance )

- thats about it, I did not have time for much jerking around with it as Z5 DSDS is my daily driver.

Please share if anything else is there ................

[Xperia Z5 General] ChristianLetti:
Gotta test it...
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
Well, I had some time to play with it a bit more yesterday !!! Here is what happened .....................................

- There was a consistent bug of sudden boot failure with 3 red light blink just after or during the boor process with the previous .253 firmware when used with stock kernel patched with SuperSU and Xposed FX is installed.

- It was not a big issue but certainly made me annoyed.

- As rootkernel v 5.0 doesnt support the latest .305 kernel for patching , I had to do some "renaming" of the kmmodule folder in order for it to recognize the new kernel version.

- As i suspected it worked flawlessly, Patched with superSU, RIC-OFF, DM-Veraty-OFF, BusyBOX Installed , DRM Fix installed (and worked fine after TA flashed) and TWRP .

- then i flashed the Xposed v 86 from TWRP and did all kind of stuffs with it.

- Installed all the modules I used to run , teaks and stuffs

- It never restarted once, nor it perform boot-loops of any kind. Like it was a perfect kernel.

- Then I was really impressed and as the firmware was full with bloatwares and odexed I thought what if I could run my backed up .253 with this new kernel.

- I thought right and it ran properly with all its functions but one, FINGERPRINT

- The error was "fingerprint hardware not available"

- I did every possible combination with it, but nothing fixed it.

- Then after some more combination of flashing stock FTFs , reflashing kernels and patches I gave up and fall back to my backed up .253 deodexed.

I hope you guys will find this helpful in some way or another :)

HOW TO FLASH supersu on 305 firmware e6683

Heating issue gone using e6683 india generec fw

No heat playing asphalt 8 around 20min only feel warm and battery also improved but using everything stock not rooted
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
- Download rootkernel_v_5.0 from XDA (if you already know where to get it then good, if dont then google it )

- Extract it within a folder in C drive

- Download latest SuperSU flashable (google it also if you dont have it already)

- Rename the SuperSU.zip file to exactly SuperSU.zip and put it in the the folder (the rootkernel 5.0 extracted folder that is)

- Extract the kernel.sin from .305 FTF via 7zip or something

- Use flashtool's SIN editor to extract the kernel.elf file from the kernel.sin.

- Copy the ELF file to the rootkernel folder

- now go to "C:\rootkernel_v5.0\Android\twrp_common_kmodules" folder (rootkernel_v5.0 is in my PC, so it will be what ever you named it before)

- You will find different folder with the different names and versions of kernels there.

- Copy the "3.10.84-perf-gf1cfa5f" folder and paste it right there and rename it to "3.10.84-perf-gf38969a"

- Run rootkernel as it was meant to be run (you can find proper instructions from where you downloaded it in the first place)

- You will end up with a patched .305 kernel and you can use it flawlessly with your .305 firmware also.

- Remember just do not integrate the Xposed FX ZIP file into the kernel, it will render the kernel unbootable.

- You can always flash XposedFX from TWRP from the next reboot.

HAVE FUN !!!

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I can and I will ..............

But answer me one thing , why people say with / without someone's TA backup when its come to patched kernel ??

I never found a single way to patch any kernel with any TA partition data or backup , ever !!!!

TA backups are completely separate things than kernels

what we do now with Z5 series is patch the kernel with DRM fix which tells the kernel to look for the TA information somewhere else

and then flashing the "device key" TA backup made as FTF using the ivoryroot tool and rootkernel v 5.0 to flash the original TA partition data to that "new somewhere else" memory location where the DRM fixed patch kernel can look for it and find it.

Thats all .
[Xperia Z5 General] josephnero:
that's what I meant. original TA keys can cause hardbrick not the DRM fix as you said. I meant patch the kernel without TA key please.
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
need to do some testing which is time consuming .....................

but I can certainly point you to the right direction though

which is , in the rootkernel's (v5.0) "android " folder there is a "init" file , which has the following line in it , see for yourself ..........

LED_RED="/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_red"
LED_GREEN="/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_green"
LED_BLUE="/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_blue"
[B][COLOR="Red"]VIBRATE="/sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable"[/COLOR][/B]

this line actually create the instance for vibration from the actual device's vibration class.

there must be something to do about it here to disable it

you can also browse through the TWRP folders for "sh" or other readable files for vibration instances for the TWRP UI and disable it.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

you did not get my point

there is no patching the kernel with TA keys

no one can patch any kernel with any TA keys , ever

First of all , that should not have happened !!! very strange !!!

find out the FTF file that flashtool created from xperifirm , then flash it via flashtool with wiping everything and excluding nothing

then I am pretty certain that your phone will boot up

If it still doesnt , then I guess your downloaded firmware is some how corrupted.

In that case download the FTF I uploaded in Z5 general forum and flash that in above manner. All should be well :)

[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
there details missing!

I am assuming that you have E6683, however can you confirm that? its not E6633? etc

now

tell me what exaclty and how exactly you flashed? if you dont WIPE SIN and MISC TA (as shown in the image), sometimes either Flash fails to complete and device don't boot!

DOWNLOAD ACCURATE VERSION OF FTF and REFLASH IT and wipe all/everything

NOW , try to understand what is happening with your device! actually your device is STUCK in boot, you cannot see, you won have any led and/or power and nor any buttons (volume camera power jog) will responed

this is CALL , A BRICKED PHONE :(

how to fix?

remove battery, wait five mins and attach again........ but wait......... Xperias has no removable battery since 2011 :(

then there is work around which MAY WORK

HOLD VOLUMEUP + POWER button for 5 secs...................... Z5 will VIBRATE 1 time................... release fingers immediately

now again

HOLD VOLUMUP + POWER BUTTON FOR 15 SECONDS................... Z5 WILL VIBRATE 3 TIMES................ while its vibrating 2nd time, IMMEDIATE release fingers........~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- the fone will shutdown.....

now try connecting in flash mode!!

DO NO BOOT unless u flash your device AGAIN accurately

---- i have tested this method with Z1, not sure about z5.. but since the series is same it should work.. ... plz confirm

AND NOW MY Z5 IS BRICKED!!! :,(

Phone won't boot or be detected by my PC. Doesn't respond to any button presses. If I plug it in to a charger or PC, the notification LED flashes red three times, but that's it...

I called Sony support, but apparently my phone is a "Grey Market" device and can only be serviced in Singapore, whose support center is closed on the weekend...

I'm currently leaving the phone charging with the power and volume-down buttons rubber-banded as I read somewhere that it might help...

Dont know how you acccomplished to brick it like that lol.

But dont worry to much, Had it multiple times too while messing with my phone. Usually you just need to make sure your phone charges up to a certain amount and then it usually gets recognized by my PC again.

Keep playing with it a bit, and eventually you will get into fastboot or flashmode.

Where did you download the update by the way? Just curious :p
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
I suppose a combination of lack of sleep, a three-hour power outage coupled with a WiFi tethering emergency, and a hungry cat all played a part in it... ?

Unfortunately, after calling Sony and being told that my Z5 is a '"Grey Market Device" and is only covered by warranty in Singapore, I took the phone to a local repair shop in a blind panic in the hope that they might be able to get it to boot.

Of course, they have no idea what F@©& they're doing, and told me on the phone, at closing time, that they couldn't help me because it must be that because the phone is from Singapore, it's set up to run on 230 volts and not 120 volts... (WTF?), and they're closed on Sundays so I'll only get the phone back on Monday morning...

Once I get it back though I'll try your suggestion and leave it charging on a 2.1A charger for at least a whole day and hope it'll rise from the dead.

As for the update, I got it as an OTA and just let it download and install. In hindsight I probably should have used Xperia Companion or Flashtool instead...

I'm just glad my sister (who generally avoids all updates until I make her install them) didn't install the OTA (she also has a Z5) and at least one of us still has a working phone...
