Hi [MENTION=5613633]YasuHamed[/MENTION] I just bought Z5 Premium Dual and I want to root it, I unlocked the bootloader from fastboot mode but I don't know what to do next please give me the right fastboot commands to flash the kernel and how to reboot into recovery.

Also, when I switch into download mode and run `Emma` flashtool it lists 3 services as the picture below, what are these services? and what I will get from them.

hello sir

i wanna know if there is a supported version from xposed to nougat , i have done everything my phone is successfully rooteed but i cant install the modules for xposed " perhaps i have an older version" ...any updates for xposed for this version of firmware ??
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] -DM-:
There is no Xposed for SDK 24 (Nougat) yet...if you want to know more read this
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
please state what is your build number its its .376 , i have given link in the Opening thread to download MODIFIED kernels, download kernel of your variant. + superuser-r69 and superuser.apk (but superuser files in sd card)

i never used Emma. , download the latest version of flashtool from www.flashtool net. download stockrom from xperifirm under SATSUKI project ( z5p has project name satsuki) E68xx and close xperifirm. the flashtool will make ftf file for you to flash. ( if you are not on .376 ) flash your device by connecting in to the fastboot mode

you attached foto of EMMA tool is not showing you the latest build! that Sep2015 internel build running on android 5.1.

from FASTBOOT mode, you can send the modified kernel of your variant (link given in the first post) using flashtool

it has twrp embeded, goto twrp, flash the superuser-r259 and then reboot and install superuser.apk ( which SHOULD be in your sd card before you even start anything)

hey, i have a problem, i flashed the rom .378 a couple of weeks ago and installed magisk and rooted and so on, it works fine but now i cant get into twrp anymore, the led gets orange at boot and just stays that way and the phone gets hot any tips on what to do without flashing again? tried downloading twrp from playstore and pressing reboot to twrp through there to and it didnt work either

Hello my dear , i wanna know how to upgrade my firmware to the latest without losing the root , apps and data ??

My firmware is 32.3.A.0.376

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual E6833
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] yabasha:
[MENTION=5613633]YasuHamed[/MENTION] thank you very much for your work, I updated and rooted my E6833 to the latest version,,,,,,, cheers
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
you are always welcome :)

I am glad that i was help
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
any major update and/or factory reset will void rooting. because it

- ROOTING is changing /system folders setting so that superSU can access

- unrooting is simply restoring the /system settings to ORIGINAL thus supersu looses control

I have put the modified folder for E6833 in the opening thread for latest update 32.3.A.2.33.

put SUPERUSER.zip + PHH SuperUser.APK in your sdcard

re-flash your device to the new update and flash the kernel.

goto TWRP (on sony logo toggle volume buttons) --> install from zip and flash the zip file from your sdcard. REBOOT and install the apk file.

DONE , you will have rooted 32.3.A.233

about data!

if you flash via flashtool keep wipe user data UNCHECKED......or.... if you just upgrade via OTA you will not loses data. only rooting will be void

however it is my personal experience that any OTA causes battery drainage so i always start my device FRESH whenever new update comes ....
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] sonyalmarshad:

no SD Card

I'm on e6833 MM .253 rooted, about to update to 32.3.A.2.33. My issue is my SD card crapped out on me in the worst possible time. Can I flash SuperSU from the Internal memory? I'm trying it right now by installing/updating SuperSU from my internal memory using TWRP and it seems to have worked, I'm no expert though
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] EMJI79:
Hey YasuHamed,

I need your help:

I flashed stock ROM with Flashtool, then I did a back to factory in the smartphone settings. I thought I could the restore TA to pass my smartphone to a lucky person BUT the i figured out had to have root to restore TA...

So now what should i do? Can you tell me in what order, not necessarly in details, what steps should I follow?

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
there is a method to restore your drmkeys and ta.img via fastboot mode using minimal adb and fastboot command prompt

once your restore the drm keys / ta backups in fastboot mode, you can later flash rom in flash mode.

there is NO direct way of restoring such keys directly via flashtool.

also please note that! there is one more sad part is that FIDO KEYS can never be either backedup or restored ( thank you sony)

Can you help me please revert my Xperia z5 Premium

I want to root my device with this method, because I purchased this phone with 32.3.A.0.376 firmware, but first I'm trying to revert my experia z5 premium (E6853)to lolipop kernel in order to back up my TA partition and DRM keys with iovyroot - (temp) root tool, and here is the problem begin. When I download a firmware with XperiFirm and enter the phone according to instructions in flash mode the flash tool issue the following error in the attached pic [IMG="1"]https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/1/1/0/8/0/9/DSC_0018.jpg?key=UGZGJFYeGZQnwMjFbnkuXQ&ts=1492072385[/IMG] my boot loader is locked.

Thank you in advance :)

Edit The problem was solved. The wrong drivers.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] zacharias.maladroit:
Thanks for those !

which of those files is using the DRM fix ?

there are kernel .img files with a hyphen (-) and those with underline (_) in their name,

I guess those with (_) are the files we want ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
1. please make sure you have all the drivers installed. in the c:\.flashtool\drivers there is a setup to install common flashmode and fastbood drivers along with z5 /z5c / Z5p drivers.

2. please make sure your flashtool is of latest version 0.9.23.2 -- when flashtool is downloaded it comes with 0.9.23.1 version. replace the x10flasher.jar files in c\flashtool from the following one and restart the flashtool, it will be updated

http://www.flashtool.net/torrents/pa...x10flasher.jar

3. of course your device's boot is locked and i believe you are connecting your device while its switched on. it will give error that root access denied since its not rooted.

4. if your device is any variant from Z5 ( E66xx) please download and install and restart pc from

https://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...ria-z5-driver/

if your device is any variant from Z5P ( E68xx) then please install driver and /restart pc from

https://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...remium-driver/
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
they all have drmfix

hyphens or underscore, both are used to segregate two words.

after hyphens or underscore , Variant numbers are given E6833 / E6853 or E6883 ,

what is your device? ,

use that variants kernel
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Vishnarov:
Thank you very much for your support. The first advise resoved the problem.

Can I ask you something. Because i backed up the TA partition..... can I do a restore of my backed up TA with your kernel to merge somehow :)

I know that you have putted some DRM fix and we have a some Sony functionality back again, but can we use the own one ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
I am glad i was help sir

the kernel attached already have DRMFIX so if you try reinstating drmkeys and TA.img the device will go in to bootloops

you must CREATE your OWN kernel using the script via command prompt. by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71175804&postcount=2236 (put your ta.img files in same folder) (read the log carefully) if device gets bricked hold power+volUP for 15 seconds and device will Jerk thrice--- on second jerk RELEASE fingers IMMEDIATELY and the device will shutdown for you to connect in flash/fastboot mode to flash roms in order to boot device again

there are tools to reinstate ta.img / drm keys , i explained that in this post (scroll down) https://xdaforums.com/z5-premium/development/rooting-xperia-z5-z5p-variants-drm-keys-t3437902

however in my personal xperiance keep the keys as goodwill for future. when device is indicating via kernel that keys are there. you may not have to reinstate them. ( this is just my personal opinion)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Vishnarov:
Thank you sir :)

You are right probably. One more question. I have read that this fix is not substitute completly the original DRM keys and some functionallity is not present in the device after unlock the bootloader and installed the fix. Is so important this functions ? Because for that I want to install my own TA. If is not so important I can live without my TA :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
sir i have read the following about DRM keys / TA partitions

1. original keys can never be re-instated properly

2. some functionality may also lagging even after instating real keys and proper TA.img / partition info

i read meany info on this topic on xda and found that

1. once bootloader is unlocked there is always one part of kernel keep reporting that even drmkeys are placed back but the bootloader is unlocked

2. this drmfix only indicates kernel to report false availibility of drmkey and ta backups so that any sony's propriety software to work fully

however once rootkernel script offcial 5.23 (drmfix NO) / boot.img has been created.

you can use that boot.img to patch it further via this tool

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/sony-drm-fix-poc-fantastic-news-t3555097

please read carefully.

I HAVE NEVER TRIED THESE TOOLS BECAUSE I UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER VERY EARLY DAYS OF Z5P AND THAT TIME NO EXTRACTION TOOL WAS AVAILABLE.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Vishnarov:
I have owned Sony xperia z3 in which in the same way like you I have never backed up the TA partition, but it was because I does not knew for that partition at all :)

In this phone I was prepared for that.

And now I have back up of TA but see that the phone is working good without the original one.

Can I use some other roms ? May be I must to unlock the boot loader again and flash recovery first through fastboot command after that, if the rom is rooted to flash DRM partitition. Are you used some other rom except the stock one ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
in my Opinion Z3/Z3+ was two one very popular and powerful devices with better screen brightness and sound quality. however z5/5p lacks in few areas.

- with bootloader LOCKED you can only flash original stockroms

- once bootloader unlocked you can instal slimX , Miui and Lineage OS. (slimX is xda fellow member rom and its prerooted.); lineage is also rooted, you just need to flash one module (enabling superSU option under developer option) -- Miui is good sleak chinese rom but i didn't sit on it for long because I felt the touch on miui is not captive.

- All other roms DONT need DRM keys because they don't use Sony's software

- all above rom has their own recovery (slimx can also be installed via twrp)

Thank you. I have appreciated your support :) and hope with this you are helping and other people

[Samsung Gear S3] Swifti:
I can use the Gear App on my S7 Edge to see the watch battery state. Can I use the watch to see the phone battery state?

After all, the phone is usually on my wrist, where I can see the watch battery level. The phone is in a zipped up pocket, often under a heavy waxed jacket.

I use the Glympse app on the S7 to broadcast my location when walking "off-piste" in forests. If the phone battery gets low, I can switch Glympse into low energy mode, but that means fishing around in my outdoor gear to get to the phone in a zipped up trouser pocket.
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
I think it depends on the watch face if Iv not mistaken...
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
There is a glimpse app for the watch you could use.
[Samsung Gear S3] Swifti:
Ah... I love the default watch face on the S3, and wouldn't want to change it. I first saw it on an advertisement on the back of the Christmas edition of the New Scientist magazine. I almost bought an S3 on the spot. (but had to wait a few weeks for funds)

Perhaps I need an app on the S7 to send audible warnings as the battery level drops.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
There are dozens of watch faces that show the phone's battery state.
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
Yeah lots of faces but they dont update very regulary... like my watch is still showing my phone as having 35 percent battery but its at 63 right now... so dont know why it doesny update that well..
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
I've noticed that with the watchmaster faces. I have noticed though that the faces I've tried seem to take a lot more of my battery life.
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
Iv been using Facer....not tried watchmaster... will give it a shot...i actually charge watch everyday...but my shealth and sleep tracking is also on...though the display is set to motion..
[Samsung Gear S3] Swifti:
It's a little self defeating if the watch faces depletes my battery while I'm looking to see if I need to worry about my battery state.

Ah, but perhaps it's the watch battery that gets depleted?

I think I'll just get used to looking at the phone, but in the meantime I've installed Battery Notifier Pro on the phone so I get notifications when the battery is down to 25%

I just need to see if I can get the notifications from Battery Notifier Pro to show/sound on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
Any good apps worth downloading? Since I dont have uber or spotify and everytime I need to download from US market remove sim reset apps etc etc its a pain... so if anyone suggests apps ill just write em all down an do it once...
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
Watchmaster is still under review in Samsung Store so the only way to load it on the phone is by building the Watchmaker app in Tizen Studio and pushing it to the phone, all in all a small pain in the butt. I've noticed that on any of the Watchmaster faces my watch face usage is over 30% of my battery usage. There are many more faces available than with Facer but at a cost. I've found the best all around way to get faces is on Google+ in the Watch Face Pros community. All those are GWD faces easily loaded with Gear Watch Designer.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Couldn't you just load up a VPN and log in to Samsung Store with a US IP?
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
Actually watchmaster is in appstore.. tried earlier it wasnt but it is..Just downloaded it... but collection of free is too small...

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Nope you cant... it checks for simcard and detects using that....

Great recomendation on the google + groups ... is it easy loading gwd? Ill be downloading the app on my pc now...

Please keep giving recommendations on apps also... would be great!!!!
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
You will need a Samsung Account ID to get an author and distributor certificate before you can build one of the downloaded watch faces. Both certificates can be obtained from with GWD and are free. Make sure you use a password for the certificates you can remember because you need it entered into GWD when you build a project. You can also copy the two certificates into the GWD directory to make it easier for GWD to find them.

After you get those, just download a watch face, change the extension of the downloaded face from .zip to .gwd, load the project in GWD, build it, and run it on the phone, all from within GWD. There are pretty good directions online. Also remember to have your watch wifi set to always on and debugging turned on in the watch. If you don't do that, then GWD can't find the watch.

EDIT

LOL, forget everything I said when mentioning Watchmaster, I meant Watchmaker. My auto correct was changing it every time and I didn't notice.
[Samsung Gear S3] aapanju:
Connecting gear s3 to wifi than from xommand prompt startinf server.. but always fails...[emoji19]
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
You have debugging on in the watch and using the correct watch ip address plus the port# ex. 192.168.1.243:26011

Thanks sooo much... got ny first watch face running.. albeit abit cumbersome but amazing once done.. thanks soooo much.

You're welcome. You can edit some of the colors on those faces like the digital display color.

I love the Hublots tagheur and yellow ferrari... damn im addicted to this now... need more watch faces lol
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
WatchMaker is coming to Gear in a week or so - there will be many new faces available and developers will create new ones, so options are going to expand.

For some reason I love using the .gwd files... seems better than having an app... also ppl complain about battery drain using facer etc.. need more repo for .gwd files...
