Backup your images and videos, then just flash ftf, select all wipe options to clean and smooth installation.

If your bootloader unlocked, then flash patched kernel otherwise not flash kernel..
[Xperia Z5 General] ohlif:
Ok thank you so mutch! i'll try and give a feedback to you. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
No need :D I know it works :highfive:
[Xperia Z5 General] ohlif:
can you send me a link to download flashtool? i want to install the most recent.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Download, install, then replace the jar file to latest.

http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php

If you are on Windows 8,8.1,10

First you need to disable driver sign. to install all drivers, google it.

Drivers exe is in C:\Flashtool\drivers..

Select first 2 options and Z5 common.
[Xperia Z5 General] ohlif:
Sorry to bother again, but every time I start the firmware flash, the phone starts. And does not complete the process.

I press volume less and I insert the cable. But it happens.
[Xperia Z5 General] pdaemon:
Hi,

When using the video function on the Sony Camera the video is lagging even in the preview...When I switch to VGA mode (not FullHD 30 or 60) it is quicker, but still not smooth...Also turning off "Steadyshot" seems to make a difference.

Has anyone else seen this? I have also tried disabling and enabling the camera and this doesn't seem to make a difference.

Should I just reflash the ftf file with flashtool or is there something else I can do?

Cheers pdaemon
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Use USB 2.0 port.

Try without Flashtool.

Press VOL DOWN, INSERT CABLE.

Led GREEN you are in flash mod.

Press VOL UP, INSERT CABLE.

Led BLUE you are in fastboot mod.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Did you check ALL WIPE options? Dirty flash cause that.

Little lag exist, but not affect video. Video still smooth when watching..
[Xperia Z5 General] pdaemon:
Hi,

I think I didn't tick SD, but ticked all others.

I will try another flash with all options ticked and give feedback.

Thanks for you help!

Cheers pdaemon
[Xperia Z5 General] vincent-h:
Is it safe to flash this is I'm from a different region (canada), but my phone is sim unlocked.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes, it is safe and works without any issue.

Flashtool will not tick simlock.ta anyway, so do not worry about that.

[Xperia Z5 General] vincent-h:
If my phone is completely stock can i use this?

eg: i havent' ever rooted it, I haven't unlocked a bootloader, it's literally been stock and carrier settings at the moment
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Answered thousand times..

Yes, just flash FTF, and select all WIPE options to clean install.

FIRST backup all images and videos to SD card or to PC.

Search on youtube how to flash FTF with Flashtool.
[Xperia Z5 General] vincent-h:
Even if I do not plan to flash the kernel I can use the FTF correct? My bootloader is not unlockable, so I guess I can't flash the kernel.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes, true. Patched kernel only for BL Unlocked devices.

If you plan to do that for ROOT, first BACKUP your TA.img.

BL Unlock delete all drm keys..
[Xperia Z5 General] vincent-h:
If my BL cannot be unlocked (meaning I can't flash a kernel). any benefit of flashing your FTF still?

Thanks

Installing on [32.3.A.0.378]?

I just received the latest Nougat [32.3.A.0.378] FTF the other day on my 6653 single sim after having flashed the Australian Nougat [32.3.A.0.376] FTF about two weeks earlier using Flashtool. My question is, could I just flash the patched kernel and not have to re-install the old firmware. To be honest I haven't noticed any differences between these two FTFs and I wouldn't mind going back to the previous one but I don't want to have to install all my apps and all that stuff again. So my questions are:

1. Can I flash just the patched kernel on my current [32.3.A.0.378]?

2. Can I make a back-up of my current files and then install that backup on the older FTF? How?

Also, I am going to install it anyway because being rooted + having TWRP on Nougat on a more-than-a-year-old Sony device is something that I could have only dreamed about. I thought that the rooting process on Sony devices was way more complicated, having to unlock the bootloader and stuff (I didn't do it before or after flashing [32.3.A.0.378]. Is installing the FTF and the patch kernel the only thing I have to do? I am aware that I have to install an app afterwards but that's it?

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me, thanks! :)
[Xperia Z5 General] barjawid:
Flash done

Patch kernel already flash OK

But my z5 dual e6683 won't boot only vibrate 1 times

Won't start up if any I missinging the step
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Flash FTF with all wipe options selected.

Boot-up first and setup for first use.

Then flash boot.img via fastboot.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
For ROOT and TWRP, you must have BL Unlocked device.

If you have 376 and want to upgrade 378, you can do with flashtool or OTA update (locked bootloader).

In this thread, I only provide 376 patched kernel. You can't use this kernel for 378.

Backup DRM keys, BL unlock, Flash FTF, then Flash patched kernel for ROOT and TWRP.

Flashing FTF for locked bootloader is always good.
[Xperia Z5 General] barjawid:
stil wont boot up only red blink
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
If you flash FTF and it wont boot, your device broken.

[Xperia Z5 General] kevin.kvik:
Hi,

can I flash custom kernel in stock rom? And after flashing kernel can I flash SuperSU or I need flash ssh´s Superuser? I flashed AndroPlus v43 and I can not go to the TWRP recovery. At the start don´t shine LED.

Thank you
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
This is not AndroPlus kernel thread.

If you use my patched kernel, you have to use phh app. No need flash anything.

You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antaresone.quickreboot to boot TWRP.

Remove Spotify from System Apps

Fast question, does anyone can modify the E6683_32.3.A.0.376_Customized MY.ftf and remove the Spotify from systems apps?

I know that I can remove with the System app remover, but... If I do all the procurement to do a root access I lose my MobileIron and checkpoint business access. :/

Can anyone help me on this? Or do you have any documentation how to eliminate Spotify app from system apps without root process??

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Without root, not possible to delete system app. Just can be disabled. Open debug options and hide spotify with adb.

If you dont know how to do it, Google it.

adb shell pm hide PACKAGE_NAME

Am I correct in assuming that theres no extra steps I need to take, aside from a backup, before I flash this via Flashtool? I still have the USB driver installed on my PC from the last time.

Just want to be sure I'm not missing something critical here! :o
[Xperia Z5 General] hackerjj22:

I need to delete Spotify from the tfl file. Because I need to install another version fo this application, and if there's any version installed on my phone I can´t install another one...

Hi, I am just curious, will everything in the patched kernel work if I flash the ftf to Locked Bootloader device?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
FTFs on this thread are original STOCK rom files.

If your device BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, you can use Patched Kernel if you want.

If your device BOOTLOADER LOCKED, you can NOT use Patched Kernel.

You do NOT have to USE patched kernel, just flash FTF. Use like a stock ROM.

[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
[MENTION=6499674]agentehule[/MENTION]

We are not facing this problem before, you mean completely gone?

You are bootloader unlocked and drm partition not restored before?

If you are bootloader unlocked, when you flash the ftf x-reality, camera fix, fingerprint etc. will not work after you use Patched Kernel which include DRM Fix.

After flashed Patched Kernel everything should work.

Note: please do not quote original thread.
[Xperia Z5 General] agentehule:

I can see that you emphasize on "DO NOT USER SUPERSU" any other solution to fix this?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:

If you want to use SuperSU or others you have to use SuperSU.zip when kernel patched.

What you can do is drain the battery so it turns off, once its off, hold down the volume down button and connect the phone to your computer, this should get you into fastboot, after this you can use something like DC-Phoenix to get it booting up again.

Hi guys !

I bought a used K3 Note,guy said the system is unstable,apps stopping and random reboots from time to time,so i thought a flash will fix that. Damn i was wrong.. :)

Flashed a bunch of roms,stock,custom,even did the stupid format all thingie with the SP Flash tool,so ended up with IMEI errors and NVRAM error. That doesnt bother me so much. What bothers me is that,the phone works,sometimes for hours,in standby or using,then apps start to " not respond" or " force close",if i leave it a bit it works again,or just freezes and reboots. No rules with the behaviour. I did a Memory test in SP Flash,and got a Brom Error : DEDICATED PATTERN ERROR (0xC1B), and i cant find anything about that. Is there any help,a fix,anything that i could try,or should i hammer a rusty nail through it ? :D

Thanks in Advance !
