[Xperia Z5 General] j1paque:
I can confirm this also worked for me. Followed steps 1-14 but kept all wipe options unchecked and all seems to be working as it was.

Thanks for this guide!
[Xperia Z5 General] j1paque:
I am looking to go beyond step 14 now, mainly for TWRP. What is the difference between 3.0.2 and 3.1.0? When "no SDCARD" for 3.1.0, does this mean it won't see my external SD card? Or something else?
[Xperia Z5 General] Frank J:
Same issue, did anyone manage to pass safetynet as yet?
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
Hi there,

I created my own 32.3.A.2.33 FTF just before I found yours, and I noticed that they are 3 Kbytes different. By examining them more closely I noticed that yours contains the .TA files while mine doesn't.

In this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-how-to-backup-drm-unlock-rootfor-t3373312

it mentioned the following: IMPORTANT DO NOT TRANSFER THE FILES WITH A .TA FILE EXTENSION IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Can I ask how come you include the .TA files? Can I include them, or would they brick the device?

Thanks,

MW
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
No, they will not brick your device. Only simlock.ta is LOCK your device forever, otherwise others are safe.
[Xperia Z5 General] Frank J:
Hi there

Regarding my earlier post i managed to get safetynet passed by following the guide and flashing phh superuser and then magisk.

The problem I'm facing now is with the drm fix. The fix doesn't seem to working as there is no post-processing done on images when I select x-reality or super vivid. As well as when taking pictures there is clearly no white noise reduction, this points to the drm fix not working. Is it possible that maybe magisk is affecting this? Any possible workarounds for this?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes, there is an option for that on Magisk. Magisk is not bugless for Sony devices.. Developers trying to fix..
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
FTF contains simlock.ta file that locks device forever

Then, if you've known that "simlock.ta" would LOCK your device forever as you said, why did you still include it in your FTF? I wonder how many people's devices got locked forever because of that!
[Xperia Z5 General] Frank J:
Okay I see, so far what I've done is as follows:

Flash stock ftf

Flash boot kernel with 3.0.2 TWRP

Flash phh superuser in recovery

Flash magisk in recovery

Install magisk manager app

Now from here do I go into the magisk manager app and then under the install tab click on keep DM Verity and then install and reboot?

Or do I need to start the entire process from the start? Please provide steps to follow as I'm uncertain.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Please stop spamming this thread. Flashtool DID NOT LET to flash simlock.ta, if you did not use please stop. I provide COMPLETE STOCK FTF.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
No need to flash ftf. Uninstall magisk from app or this uninstaller zip. Flash patched kernel, then just flash this latest magisk. Latest magisk has phh superuser, no need to flash phh separately.
[Xperia Z5 General] Frank J:
Okay will do that now, so just to confirm, if I follow these steps I should end up with root and magisk as well as the DRM fix being active?

Thanks again
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes, click dm-verity option on magisk for precaution.

You can check the status of security.

Open dial-pad then type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service tests > Security, you should see [Key OK][Active]

You can also check on Settings -> Display -> Image enhancement and click image swipe for others see the differences.
[Xperia Z5 General] Frank J:
Okay cool I've tested it and its working, in service menu for MARLIN, WIDEVINE and CKB it says [Key OK][Active]

though for FIDO_KEYS is says Not provisioned, provision failed

What does that mean and what is that related to?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
FIDO_KEYS is not important, it means your device is decrypted. If you flash your TA.img backup it turns to Provisioned.
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
I have no idea what you mean except the last statement. So, if this is the complete FTF, did you provide a disclaimer or warning to users that simlock.ta bricks devices forever?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
PLEASE stop! Flashtool DO NOT FLASH simlock.ta, so NO device will brick. Kapish?

[Xperia Z5 General] deconfrost:
ok not a problem with the rom, have it on both my z5's UB with patched kernel, one z5 has drm backed up and restored so all perfect there, the other, very funny thing, it has been about 9 months it couldnt pickup a network indoors, only some places outdoor, after flashing this, when first booted in, I had full lte signal for a minute, then no network, it seems that its a software issue rather than hardware, anybody here got any idea? 5 different version of MM made no difference but N did, atleast for a minute everytime I restart the phone so that gotta route out the hardware issue
[Xperia Z5 General] njvrensburg:
I seem to have a similar problem. Sligjhtly different though... Since the last two ROM upgrades, I have very poor network signal, indoors and outdoors. Only when I'm very close to a tower, I have signal and then the strength varies as well. My house is about 400 meters from a tower, yet I have poor signal. I was under the impression it was hardware related, as my S4 mini, on the same network, has excellent reception where ever I go. But now I have second thoughts.
[Xperia Z5 General] deconfrost:
I hope its a glitch somewhere in our phone, it doesn't make sense for hardware issue to suddenly get full signal where I normally have no service after flashing this firmware, I try to set baseband but only USA showing, is there a way to select the baseband other than USA, or can I get the EU or UK baseband somewhere to flash it?
[Xperia Z5 General] njvrensburg:
Sorry mate, got no idea how to set or select basebands or where to get it.
[Xperia Z5 General] deconfrost:
hope somebody here know and see it :)
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
What is your customized version? If different from my version, try to flash original modem.sin.

I am facing signal issue with my z5 on N. Always 0-1-2 on N, MM is much better than N.
[Xperia Z5 General] deconfrost:
It was 3irl but they haven't release 32.3.A.2.33 yet, would it be OK to try modem from. 376.

Also I've tried original firmware on that z5 already it didn't make any difference until I try this version, it's first time in 9 months I see full signal on LTE, when first booted in homescreen, hasn't had a signal till yesterday.

Hi.

Is it possible make a patched kernel but without root,twrp, phh,busybox

Only this:

DM-Verity disabled

Sony RIC disabled

DRM fix installed

I need this because my comapny's MDM software detects su binaries and set OS as compromised.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] Elysiumx:
Hi, do u try to flash suhide? For me works on app that detect root
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:

[Xperia Z5 General] sloniu82:
Thanks, after flash no_TWRP version everything works fine.

At least Mobile Iron is not complaining about compromised OS ;)

EDIT:

Sorry but after a while MDM blocks enterprise apps with Compromised OS status.

Administrator told me that MDM detects /bin/su binary.

[MENTION=5813612]sceryavuz[/MENTION], I remember that you made kernel without root for older release (.376 I think) and it was working fine.

Could you please made once again same thing?

[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
If you have TA backup, just restore TA backup no need to flash patched kernel. Flash stock ftf then flash ta backup, just like original. All sony features will work.

You installed nougat before so device reboot.

You have to install with_TWRP boot img.

After first reboot release keys then wait you will see yellow led, then press wolume up button led turns to orange, you can access TWRP.

[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
If you want to BL Unlock and to continue 15-30, yes use this tool.

If you want to just update or upgrade your stock rom, apply steps 1-14. No need to backup DRM keys.
[Xperia Z5 General] k3mikal:
Thank you! By the way, do I still need to unlock the BL (steps 1-14) if in the phone's developer options I can enable 'OEM unlocking - allow bootloader to be unlocked'?

Hi,

Thanks for your hard work!

I have the E6653 with German variant 32.3.A.2.33 up and running already but recently unlocked the bootloader.

Can I just flash 'boot_E6653_no_TWRP.img' to get the DRM fix? Or do I need reset and flash ftf first?

cheers.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes you can use my patched kernel, it is fixed. If you want to root your phone try with_TWRP then flash magisk.
[Xperia Z5 General] jamesdroid85:
Hi,

Sorry I just want to clarify:)

with out flashing anything else I simply from fastboot run

fastboot.exe flash boot boot_E6653_with_TWRP.img to get twrp and then let it boot up?

cheers
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Again, YES! If you want to try first use this command fastboot.exe boot boot_E6653_with_TWRP.img

If booted up without error, then flash fastboot.exe flash boot boot_E6653_with_TWRP.img
[Xperia Z5 General] jamesdroid85:
Great, all works now. Thank you.

The one thing I noticed is one app I have, does not work with developer mode on. Even though I turn it off, it still thinks it's on.
[Xperia Z5 General] afifth:
So it mean that I have to flash whole 2.33 firmware first before I patch this kernel?

I cant ota from phone or pc companion because my phone unlocked bootloader already.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes. If you want to flash exact version for your phone, first download FTF with XperiFirm OR flash my ftfs then flash patched kernel..
[Xperia Z5 General] afifth:
i see,

ok thank you
[Xperia Z5 General] p1e9t9e2r:
