my phone is on .376 and rooted

I already wiped System, Data, Dalvik, Cache and flashed .376

but i don't know why my z5c battery is so bad

In bettery setting, it says 17hrs, but if i turn music on, it's going down so fast

Also battery charge is so slow too

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] firdyRAY:
So let me clarify before i proceed:

(No SuperSU and Busybox)

1. Flash FTF with FlashTool

2. Flash boot.img with FlashTool (where to get boot.img? You provide zip file)

3. Install superuser from Google play?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
The links are pointing to different boot.img zips.

boot.img are flashed with fastboot (which are delivered by flashtools, But I'll do it via cmd.. ) - There are many hints how to do that.

I didn't install supersu with the newly createt boot.img... I'll do a battery perftest first. And perhaps tomorrow or at thursday, I'll do a test with supersu or some equivalent.

Which will be flashed via twrp,

But important: If you don't know what to do with ftf & img files. Please inform you before. Because if you start here from scratch, I don't know if it comes the correct way.

I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] firdyRAY:
I did a trial and error and it works.

1. Flash ftf with FlashTool

2. Extract boot_sc.376_no_su....zip and retrieve the image file

3. Flash boot.img via fastboot on FlashTool

I was able to go to TWRP. Just wondering since SuperSU drains the battery, have you tested with superuser instead?

So currently the boot.img without superSU have no root access?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
nope.. not testet with superuser instead.

as I told.. first testing battery perf without root now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] firdyRAY:
Alright will wait for your result. Thank you for your effort.

Flashed it with flash tool (AU version) and didnt even wipe anything. Runs like a charm. So far I do not see very big changes from the last version that was pulled. I was hoping for 7.1.1 - since it took them so long. But maybe I am too naive.

I had the fingerprint hardware failure with the last version and so far this did not come up anymore.

In the camera app you can now set HDR and manual ISO with 20MP resolution. I am not sure, but I think that was not possible in the past. Can anyone confirm?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] niotio910:
I see that I can restart/turn off the phone from lockscreen by long pressing the power button. Not sure if this was in MM before. How can I disable it?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pep086:
so if i flash nougat , i can't go back to my twrp backup? this is getting worst than ever...

i wanna try it :S :eek:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
You are right, in MM i get no power menu by pressing ppwer button when screen is locked.

Why shouldn't you? Of course you can go back. I did it myself this way.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
perftest seems back to normal without supersu in boot.img.

wow.. did right now a search for superuser there are

superuser / chainsdd

superuser / clockworkmod

SuperSu /Chainfire

Superuser (ROOT Manager)

which did is the one replacing supersu?

Because of that I'll do it via flash supersu. then the problem should also dissapear, what I read.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
The recommended one can be downloaded here: http://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip (contains the su binary files)

Flash via TWRP

Also you have to install this one too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser ( App to manage root permisions)

Tested by myself and worked, however i didn't test battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] KOala888:
I got huge drain with superSU, without it it is back to normal, too soon to compare it to 6.0. Anyway, nougat is wayyy smoother and faster, camera opens almost instantly.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] firdyRAY:
Can you confirm that it's working? I read from the forum that some got bootloop and some lost their twrp after using phh's superuser

I have flashed the twrp without busybox and superSU.

Flashed the superuser.zip but there were 3 lines of errors before it was successful. Now trying to boot and see if it works..

update: root works. Tried with titanium backup. But i still can't clear cache/dalvik cache without having 3 lines of error.

update: tried removing bloatware from TB but after restart bloatware is still there. Not sure if it's working correctly..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
??? Yes, like i said
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] firdyRAY:
You managed to remove bloatwares using TB or any root explorer?

You can clear cache/dalvik cache from TWRP?

Did you encounter 3 lines of error in red?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
Just had it running for some testing, didn't took the time for bloat wars. Back at 5.11 for now.

Don't know if i tried. But what i did went without problems as far as i remember.

Don't think so. Try another TWRP, maybe mounting problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
With SuperSu flashed via TWRP it seems working mostly ok

Red error Lines I had also

Uninstalled FileCommander via Titanium did work
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sopur:
I now have flashed the tft and the boot.img (without supersu). But now, my twrp seems gone? is this possible?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] youvedone:
Depends on which boot.img the one from me should work.

I had more difficulties than before to enter twrp. It felt like pressing to fast and to intense trying entering to twrp.

Next try I "slowly" pressed up and down at amber light and it worked.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
Did you press Vol Up or Down?

Up is TWRP from Kernel, should work with youvedone's kernel

Down would be recovery from FOTA-Kernel if you had installed. That would be gone since you flashed new .ftf except you excluded the FOTA-partition. If you mean that, you can reflash via fastboot
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sopur:
It now worked, had to press up and down!

Finally for E5823 it's on XperiCheck too.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
Also got the OTA-Notification here. I don't think this was wise from sony.

With .372 they did the right thing and stopped the rollout because of 2 mayor bugs. Now with .376 one mayor bug is still present for some people and they roll it out anyway?

I think this will get many of the normal users(with no backup or flashtool) through the z5-line really pissed. At least this will raise the pressure on sony to fix nougat:laugh:

I also got my N(.376) via OTA updating now (im also not happy with last MM(.11) update so not much to lose) also pretty much low speakers.. and buggy chrage optimization made it worse

ill might downgrade to the version b4 charge optimization (if it will be much worse)

you can disable charge optimisation if i'm not mistaken

you are right, but i have a bug the switch dosnt turned off.. even after upgrade to android N(7)

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ciopik:
This option should be disabled?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
its limiting the charge , to prevent overcharge

PROS: save battery life, : in the long run

CONS: about less 10% less every charge

if you dont leave your phone everynight plugin to the wall charger you dont need it

(usually i pull out the cable when the LED become green (90%) even 80%

so i dont need it
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
Some Screenshots,

battery drain 3% over 8hr (only 3G) avarage of 2 nights
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] gazw68:
Turning it on has no real cons

The optimization learns when you leave your phone on charge for long periods and unplug it.

So overnight it will stop charging at 90% then resume charging 60-90 minutes before you normally unplug it so that the battery is full.

If the phone is charging in the optimized mode there will be a notification that you can dismiss to disable and charge normally.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
hmm really? weird didn't happen so far. it always "stuck on 90%" (maybe because i played with the switch too much)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lethien:
Hi guys,

I just want to update to this firmware 32.3.0.376 and I would like to know if it's possible to root it easily (more easily than before with the MM fw) ?

Which guide should i use too root the 32.3.0.376 ? Thanks you
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] PeppeBove:
Install it via flashtool and than flash zak's kernel, this should be all
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lethien:
Thanks PeppeBove, should I back up DRM Keys, TA Partition ? sorry it may be stupid but your method seems to be very easy and fast to do it, btw my bootloader is locked
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] PeppeBove:
Ok... No, things are easy, but, gradually, if you have never unlock your bootloader (you are on stock Sony Original rom, and you've never got root permissions), You can make DRM TA Partition backup. And you should do it.

After that, you can unlock bootloader and than you can do as i say you before (but this TA backup is still not necessary with "my mod way")
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bv90andy:
I've been reading through this forum before I upgrade, and some people are still having problems which worries me (my Z5 Compact is my main device ).

Can anyone confirm that if the device is locked/unrooted everything stock, then there are no problems? Do those who have 3rd party app sound problems, battery problems etc, have rooted or stock?

Thank you
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevjs1982:
Grr, every update EE manage to break WiFi Calling even more - fails after a couple of hours to the next reboot - and also doesn't connect to WiFi properly - shows a stale list of access points at time (e.g. the pub's WiFi network once you have got home).

Toggling AirPlane mode fixes the WiFi but not WiFi calling.

Can't really comment on the battery drain, but so far it's not worse than Marshmellow (77% charge on day 1, would normally be around 75% at this time of day).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zymbal:
kevjs1982, so you can actually make some calls with wifi-calling before it fails?

Mine hangs up immediately when i hit the dial button. Wifi connection works fine though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mickael91210:
Hello,

zach's kernel includes DRM fix and root?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
You shouldn't worry about other people's problems. Ok, it's nice from you, but regarding to all of this, it's mostly irrelevant.

"Can anyone confirm that if the device is locked/unrooted everything stock, then there are no problems?"

-->> No, like you've probably noticed, some people experience some problems with stock rom.

It doesn't mean that you are gonna have these problems. Rule number 1: make a full backup. You can do that with TWRP. If you experience any problems, it takes 10 minutes and 1 reboot to go back to where you came from.

"Do those who have 3rd party app sound problems, battery problems etc, have rooted or stock?"

-->> Rooted or not has nothing to do with battery problems. Rooted means: access to (e.g.) / and /system. Battery problems can be caused my a (large) number of things. One cause of battery issues is doing a dirty flash. The simple way to avoid this: wipe everything before you install Nougat, and install your apps from scratch.

My battery life is ****, mainly because I didn't apply optimizations I had in Marshmellow. In MM, I heavily debloated my device, and my system was tweaked with Amplify, Greenify and My Android Tools. Without Xposed, I don't know yet how I gonna do it, so at the moment I'm back to plugging in the cable every night.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Martin546:
Is it safe to restore backups between major versions (6 to 7)? I assume a new kernel was also flashed when the ROM was upgraded, so is that replaced when restoring the TWRP backup?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
Yes. Your phone has no clue. If you fully restore a backup, everything you changed after you made that backup will be forgotten, like it never existed.

Restoring a partial backup (e.g. restore data partition from android 6 when your system is android 7) can cause crashes and reduce overall performance.

Yes.

A normal (full) TWRP-backup = (roughly)

1) boot: this is the boot image + kernel [+ root (or not)]

2) system: = android OS (like the windows-partition in PC's) + system apps

3) data: userapps + user data

So if you restore an old backup you get exactly what you had before, minus recovery image, minus cache, minus TA partition. And minus some things I have completely no idea what it is, but it's not in a backup and you don't have to worry about it.

A dirty firmware install = (roughly)

1) new boot partition

2) new system partition

3) new/empty cache partition

4) old data partition

A clean firmware install = (roughly)

1) new boot partition

2) new system partition

3) new/empty data partion

4) new/empty cache partition

notes:

boot partition + system partition always have to be compatible.

root = modified boot partition
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Martin546:
Thanks for clarifying that.

I just tried restoring a backup I made just before upgrading to 376 using the standard TWRP settings (boot, system, data) and it would not boot. I would load up to the first start screen, then reboot and go back to TWRP.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
No, you should first make a backup of your current ROM so you have something to go back to if anything goes wrong.

Then you should start with a clean install. So when you flash, tick everything in sin > wipe.

found few more new things 1.horizon mode on home page(helpful sometimes),2.new emoji s (same as whatsapp) 3.alarm clock tunes

Yes (if you've already unlock and root) you should just make that.

also dirty install is ok, not suggested, but seems to work anyway.

Hello and thanks for first informations...

I flashed .376 and the Zach's kernel but I have no Root.

Can you tell me what I have to do to have root?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] PeppeBove:
Zach let you choose your root methods, so, after flashed kernel (or updated it with twrp recovery), you should install your root patch in recovery.

Try "supersu" or "phh's superuser" (now suggest the second), and than install their app by playstore.

Ps: before you ask me, search phh superuser on xda forum

You should try Xperia Home Beta, it had horizon mode on Marshmallow already. Now it has custom grid size and lots of other features.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
It's hard to help you, when you don't know which Guide you used or even which Kernel. So we don't really know what you did exactly, I'll try it anyway.

Kernel with version 41 sounds to me a lot like Andropluskernel. However, if this would be the case, you picked the wrong one.

for .376 you should use ver43. https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html

But my suggestion would be that you use the patched stock kernel instead. You can make one yourself with the rootkernel tool or use a shared one. The one with "no supersu" from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/32-3-0-376-pushed-t3553477/post71022719#post71022719

should work just fine.

Flash kernel and Recovery through fastboot.

You have to install SuperSu or phh's superuser through flashing zip from TWRP afterwards.

The way to boot into recovery has changed. Latest TWRP and how you boot into can be found here:

You have Z5c, right? Did you take all the right files? TWRP-Suzuran.
