Audio/Volume bug - they've pulled the releases to fix.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Born to Die:
Z5 Compact, E5823 Australian version.

Loved the update until I figured out that the speaker volume after half a second of being loud, goes down to a painfully low level. Ended up clean installing 32.2.A.5.11 and am very disappointed to find that the problem still exists. Did a couple of clean installs for both 32.2.A.5.11 and 32.3.A.0.372. The volume randomly gets louder for a few seconds but then goes back to being low.

Anyone who experienced this and figured out a solution? Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tobi@s:
I'll stay with Nougat, I don't listen to music using my phone, so thats not a problem.

If anyone wants to upgrade, I uploaded a ftf of the australian Nougat release (will take some time till its synced) : https://syncandshare.lrz.de/dl/fiJ4..._32.3.A.0.372_R2D_Customized_AU_1298-7260.ftf
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Nu11u5:
Guess I lucked out - no issues with audio volume, just Bluetooth track info not showing.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] xmsxms:
Upgraded from 32.2.A.0.305-R9C (1298-7315) to Nougat 32.3.A.0.372-R2D (1298-7260).

The phone is definitely running a lot hotter, draining the batter faster and a bit laggy at times. I haven't tested the audio.

I hope the problem they identified and are fixing is a performance issue causing the heat/lag. And I hope it gets rolled out as an update to people that have already updated.

I do it yourself with the help of this tool: XDA

Setting:

- Transfer the kernel and SuperSU on your device.

- Turn off the device and flash the kernel to version rekaveri 6

- Download to rekaveri and flash the kernel and superpowers. (Loaded with the device 2 times)

Confirmed this Working. It's made with this tool. DRM fix & RIC off & ADB debugging enabled.

Turn your Device to fastboot mode apply this code

Code:

fastboot boot <your_marshmallow_TWRP_boot.img>

(You could use your own boot.img or the one above by Gewiz)

Boot into TWRP.

Then flash the attached zip file with TWRP.

After this flash the latest SuperSU.zip.

Reboot into system.

...So I'm really looking forward to the Z5 developers who made TWRP in Nougat working as FOTA Kernel. This might come to this device soon :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] przem16325:
drm fix works fine, root to :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
No need to wait pal, TWRP is working also for nougat. At least i got it running, as i tested the .372 firmware(I'm back at 5.11 for the moment , because of the lack of xposed).

But i saw also in another thread, there is some missunderstanding about it, so i thought i try to make things clear for everybody:

Until now, nobody found a way to integrate TWRP into a patched kernel for the nougat firmware, so that we could flash it along with the boot.img.

But like already said, it's possible to flash the recovery to the FOTA-Partition of the device, where normally are the files we need to install an OTA-update.

But with tools like Flashtool and Xperifirm and because flashing is fun, do we really need OTA-updates? No! What we need is TWRP.

So go to this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66232457&postcount=160

Grab the file, and leave a thanks to [MENTION=6300794]Joeisgood99[/MENTION] for sharing.

Flash it to your device with fastboot: "fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]"

And now here comes the clue. On bootup there will be no LED indicating when you have to press Vol-button to enter recovery, instead do this:

Turn the device off

Hold Vol down and press Power until it vibrates as sign of turning on.

Now only release Power and hold Vol down until you are in TWRP-recovery

I hope it works for all of you. If i talked sh*t anywhere, feel free to comment

How to refresh XperiFirm to get Nougat?

I would like to know how to get Nougat (Android 7) for Sony Z5C via XperiFirm? I just downloaded XperiFirm, but it does not list Nougat. It shows E5823 -> Australia Customized AU 32.2.A.5.11 / R6C instead of Nougat.

Few questions:

1. Can i flash the Nougat ftf from FlashTool and then install the boot.img through FlashTool Fastboot option instead?

2. Is the TWRP permanent or temporary?

3. Is DRM fix included?

4. Your google drive link is not wokring
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mele80:
Thanks for the compiled kernel for [MENTION=7861286]Gewiz[/MENTION] :). All seems to be working. DRM-keys working, root working after flashed SU, twrp working.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

1. You can flash Nougat tft with flashtool, i guess it should not matter if you use Flashtool or fastboot when flashing kernel

2. TWRP should work as always

3. DRM is working

4. Drive link worked for me
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ric69:
+1 for all

Thanks a lot [MENTION=7861286]Gewiz[/MENTION], coming from MM, no wipe, everything is working as it should... Can't wait for xposed now lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
1. Should do the exactly same. Also fastboot comes with flashtool in the x10flasher_lib directory if you don't want to download it separately

2. Permanent. However for me there is a small bug at the moment with mount internal sdcard. But you can get there through \data\media\0. Maybe the other TWRP for FOTA, which i mentioned the post before works better. I didn't tested so far.

3. It should. This is always hard to tell for me because i have fully restored my DRM-Keys. But it looks like it's working for everybody else, so i would say yes.

4. I had a look into it and couldn't find a problem. Also it seems to work for everyone else here. Maybe it was a temporary problem of google. Please try again!

Yeah, me too. Unfortunately it seems that we have to wait a little bit longer:( https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70773752&postcount=41

locked my phone...

I had it working, 7.0, root, drm fix. Somehow I have locked my phone... :crying:

Fastboot does not accept flashing (on 2 computers) no more boot.img flashing for me...

The only thing that does work is flashing ftf files.

Flashtool says it is unlocked. It can act as if it locks again, and unlocks...

Sonyunlock website can still give me the unlock code, but Fastboot oem unlock does not work also.

Here a screenshot of the service menu. In attachment.

Of course I looked all over xda etc for info, but as I said Flashtool unlock and Fastboot unlock don't work anymore. USB debugging is on. Oem unlock setting is on in developer options I tried several ftf files, if it might fix this, one old one gave me bootloops, but recent ftf files do work. (can't find my ta files either of this device)

I did not lock it before this happened, it was unlocked of course.

It seems I can from now on only flash the ftf's unless anyone has a solution.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zegovernator:
May I ask what kind of modify you where doing, so that others might not get trapped in locking their bootloaders forever?

I found myself facing this issue after trying to flash the deodex.zip.

P.s.: Not everybody has made a TA backup, and I highly recommend doing this to anyone before unlocking/deodexing/rooting or flashing nougat on any device.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

:confused: I'm interested too ... Last news was that it will take a while for it to get xposed running on Nougat.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ric69:
Deodex.zip could be the reason (because I flashed it) and because I'm quite sure I didn't tick anything in Flashtool. Or it could be something with new boot.img with twrp / nougat

When I bought this phone, there was not much thread with TAbackup and I lost partition 1 hour after I received it to root it:laugh:

Now I think I will sell z5c to my provider :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Doe.it:
I wasn't doing any modify, I was just flashing last stock MM firmware over a previous ROM (I don't remember which one, maybe CM) and when I was uploading it using Flashtool I simply checked all the options to wipe (including the ones inside the "Misc TA" section: CUST-RESET; MASTER-RESET; SIMLOCK). I fixed the problem only by flashing the TA backup I did previously!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] theevilsite:
Just finished the update this method. Flashtool showed the process has completed successfully. Devise is now stuck on Sony Logo. As previously I have experienced slow boot after a fw update I will give it some more time..

Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix it ?

the solution was to downgrad to lollipop und restore my TA partition. after that everything went back normal.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ric69:
So the option to change bootloader allowed "yes" to "no" is in TA partition

AFAIK, it's impossible to backup TA with bootloader allowed "no" (I couldn't do it - but it was already erased in my case)

Is TWRP backup TA partition ? (umm, even if I lost TWRP backup in the battle too ...)

Hi guys. I Just want to share my thoughts about N. Ive installed that tft version from Xperifirm website.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Faz196:
thanks, i installed using your link. i really appretiate it. i have it rooted aswell now thanks to 'mhaha'.

my personal view for my device is as follows,

- i feel the battery life has increased compared to the version prior to this,

on standby it doesnt drain as fast

- very quick to install apps. doesnt take as long

bad point is

when you end the call it doesnt give you option to call back/send message immeditaly. you have to wait until you get to call log screen then press the conact then press send message. little things but it matters when your driving.

p.s handsfree on dashboard.

iv not realy found any other problems with the UI yet. its a big change but its a good change except the bad point mentioned above. im happy overalll, best release yet. ( my point of view, yours may be different)
