If you install New rom yep lost but Just install kernel dont lost
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] bakachan0:
I am only interested in rooting with minimal changes so I can backup my z5 premium phone (the worst phone I have ever owned) and migrate to a different one.

What do you think I will lose in that scenario ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] ouzqan:
You must just kernel
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ash.Ahamed:
every step worked until the last step where I installed SuperSU which shows as successful but when i rebooted the phone got stuck in the sony xperia logo.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] wicozani:
If I remember right, you must reboot first after flashing without SuperSU, let it settle, then re-enter TWRP and flash SuperSU and then reboot again. Worked for me.

If rooting, follow the instructions exactly. I was already on the latest version of the stock ROM that would work with this method, so I skipped flashing the new ROM. Meant I kept all my personal apps/data/settings when done. If you must flash the ROM, and wish to keep your data, deselect "USERDATA" in the Wipe/Sin box. Good luck!

Hello. I've done every step until 21, but when I type the command .\fastboot.exe flash boot 32.4.A.1.54_E6853.img in the prompt command, I get the following error, what can I do?

PS C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib> .\fastboot.exe flash boot 32.4.A.1.54_E6853.img

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] wicozani:
Copy code exactly as it appears...

You need to copy the code just as it appears. There should be no period (.) nor backwards slash (\) before the command.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] bluocra:
Thank you for answering, in such an old post I didn't think someone noticed my message. I put "./" before the code because the prompt command itself gave me an error when I typed the code without it and suggested me to put "./".

By the way, is it possible to do this step using flash tool?

When I have a bit of free time I'll try again without ./ and I'll let you know.

Thanks for the upload

Many thanks for sharing, I have my now device Z5P E6833 rooted with the help of this link.

For the below step, i was havig trouble so I tried and copied the files 32.4.A.1.54_E68XX.img and twrp_recovery.img to C:\platform-tools

instead

17-) Copy 32.4.A.1.54_E68XX.img and twrp_recovery.img file into "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"

18-) Open "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" folder

:good:

Can flash cusrom like LOS from this Rom ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Gorjab:
I can't access twrp mode because I changed the screen and it displays only once the phone has booted into Android. How can I root the phone ? Maybe with Flashtool ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] akitomartin:
The screen does not turn on until the Android logo ?. How weird. You can try flashing it with a prerooted FTF via flashtool.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] wicozani:
Yes, after using this pre-rooted FTF for a few months, I was able to install LOS 14.1 right over the top of it. No problems.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Lost149ers:
I already bought a redmi note 4x, ?, cos i need a smartphone to play Mobile Legend

But thanks for the reply, been waiting this kinda respond, n yes i will straight flash LOS once i got time.

The camera modul need replacement but LOS still have camera bug right, so i will use z5p as a second phone for communicating purpose only.

Well i did not backup my DRM key before i flash this patched Rom, i afraid it will bring issue someday when it got bricked, but screw it ?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
I got a non-working G4 (H815) from a friend - it doesn't start at all. He said it was bootlooping for some time and then it died completely. It is not in warranty anymore and it has SN starting with 505.

When I connect it to the PC, it appears as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or qhsusb_bulk in device manager. It doesn't start even in download mode or recovery, screen is not showing anything.

The only thing that helped was putting the phone to the freezer for a few hours - then Android started up to the welcome screen, but it froze a few seconds later and stopped working again.

Is there any chance that the phone can be fixed somehow by e.g. disabling big cores or baking the mainboard in the oven etc?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
http://tinyurl.com/g4fixitlist

9008 is the last step on the bootloop way to death. Check the above for temporary solutions and the one real fix.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
So I managed to get the phone working. I tried heating it up using hair dryer - witout any effect. Then I removed the mainboard and baked it in the oven (actually I have only halogen convection oven but it was enough) on 250°C for about 10 minutes, put some old thermal paste (over 10 years old cheap paste with quite poor thermal transfer) on CPU and eMMC chip (actually somebody obviously tried to repair that phone already in the past - there was some dried out white thermal paste on CPU already - and then sold it before it crashed again), I also put alluminium foil on top of the CPU and eMMC (to ensure that CPU is touching the heatsink and to increase the pressure on the chip - heatsink thermal tape would be better), assembled all back into the phone and it works. I was able to enter download mode, flashed Lollipop KDZ firmware using LGUP, it was bootlooping then, but after flashing TOT file to disable big cores it started to work properly (although very slowly). I was not happy with having just Lollipop, so I flashed Marshmallow KDZ using LGUP, followed by corresponding TOT file to disable big cores, unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, SuperSU, unlocked all 4 little cores and so far everything runs smooth, let's see how long it will last :)

My AnTuTu score with 4 cores is still 54500.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guillefs:
yesterday I passed the same thing to my LG G4 H815 Taiwan.

In my case with 1 hour in the freezer revived. And now it is working normally temporarily.

Mio is series 507 of the year 2015.

Lolipop 5.1 root, blocked bootloader.

Is it possible to disable big cores using the kernel auditor (root)?

I need my phone to continue working for two more weeks until I can get a new one.

edit:

kernel auditor root:

disable big core 5 , but not big core 6.

big core 6 reduced to max 966 mhz

litle cores 1,2,3 and 4 reduce to 966 mhz.

work.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
I think freezer has much shorter effect than heat/baking - for me freezing helped only for a few seconds. But hopefully you will have more luck.

You can disable big cores in kernel adiutor, but it won't help you with bootloop - kernel adiutor activates its settings after booting, which is too late. You better flash TOT file (you don't need root or bootloader unlock for that as you do it in LGUP tool, for you it should be LGH815AT-00-V10g-GLOBAL-COM-NOV-18-2015+0_RECOVERY_5.1.tot) that disables all cores except one and then re-enable 3 little cores. I also saw some modified boot+recovery images for specific ROMs in the forum that could work too.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guillefs:
I have 12 hours of operation since the bootloop and for now everything works perfect.

current operating temperature 30 degrees Celsius for cores, and 26 degrees Celsius for battery.

If I start to have bootloop again I will place the tot with a single core. and finally the method of heating.

PD:

link for LGH815AT-00-V10g-GLOBAL-COM-NOV-18-2015+0_RECOVERY_5.1.tot , please !!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
You can get the TOT files and guide here under the video (chapter SERVICE REPAIR):

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guillefs:
My H815 is definitely dead.

I worked well for 20 hours of low use, as soon as I armed it with the microsim and started to make calls came back the bootloop and then twice more that reboot never turned on again but despite having disabled the cores by of the recovery tot V10G.

next and last step:

Heating the motherboard.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
So good luck with baking...let us know your result :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Well the result is known..

1) You will release toxic fumes so better never use the oven again afterwards

2) it may work for another while which can be 1 month or even half a year.

3) this is still a temporary solution and so it will happen again

This is all documented already and summed in my bootloop fix list..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
Which kind of toxic fumes get released and can they be cleaned?

After the phone dies after some time, will the baking help again?

I remember I baked my graphic card a few years ago and it did well after baking :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
there is no "guarantee" that it really releases toxics but it can.. If so they will survive multiple cycles and no one knows when its safe again to use it for food. I mean you will not die the next day but i wouldnt take the health risks for a crappy manufactured phone.

so basically you can have luck and it will work for long but this all depends how good/bad your current soldering is.

sfX
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Exactly. Mine died for good after I baked it the 2nd time. That was back in June 2016 IIRC. My device's production date was within the supposed bad batch period. Kudos to OP for including my warning message and actually caring for the users here.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
How long did it work after the 1st baking?

About the toxic fumes, I doub't it will be affecting someone's length of life...we have toxic chemicals in many things these days :) If it is about mercury, it would be more toxical to breath it than eat it, so it would be good to at least exchange air in the room after the baking.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
2 days.

Never play down safety concerns. If you warn people you do that with many possibilities taken into account. While according to you these fumes shouldn't harm the average person, many of us have family and friends with weakened immune systems. This includes older people, pregnant women, infants, people with weakened immune response due to sickness and so on.

My point stands. You have been warned. Never use the same oven you bake electronics in for food preparation. In fact, stop baking electronics. It almost never works.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
2 days only? Hmm, really quite short time...mine works for a week already (with 2 big cores disabled).

Yes, I agree that it is good to warn people against possible risks. However I am still curious about some proof and description of which fumes are released (tin and lead like during normal soldering, mercury, etc.?), but never mind...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Core disabling wasn't a thing back then.

Here's a nice PDF from Techni-Tool, a company supplying the electronic production industry with soldering stuff, chemicals, tools and what not. It's not necessarily a paper from a scientific institution but I'd still take their word for it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
Well, so my baked G4 died today, after almost a week of working. I will try baking it again, but it seems it is really just short term solution :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
I'm sorry to hear that but its what 80% of other users reported as well.

.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapist:
Yes, unluckily....I tried to bake it again, but I guess I overbaked it - tiny round component (probably a capacitor) exploded and a small power management IC falled off and I didn't manage to solder it in again, so I give it up with this phone, it won't turn on at all :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
yea and better do not use that oven for food again :eek:
[Touch Cruise General] DennisMoore:
Hello guys,

I've just received my TC and couldn't wait to set it up and install all applications I need.

During this procedure I recognized that the screen flickers whenever there is activity on screen.

Doesn't matter if the device is looking for WLAN or GSM Network, filling up a progressbar during restore of my SMS Messages with PPC PIM Backup or just navigating around in TomTom.

Found out that flickering stops if I hide the progress-bar filling application by opening the Programs-tab in startmenu and if the device is idle and nothing happens on screen (no animation or screen change) it wouldn't flicker at all.

This flicker-thing is quite annoying. Anyone else got that?

Maybe it is an effect of the video-driver problem. Don't know.

Maybe the device is just "broken" in some way and I have to return it to my dealer.

EDIT: Just saw that the screen even flickers slightly when the cursor is blinking in the SMS-Editor :(
[Touch Cruise General] psargent:
Never seen this problem on my TC. Had it for nearly 2 months. I would return it and get a new one.
[Touch Cruise General] DennisMoore:
OK, now I'm quite sure that it is a device error.

Woke up this morning and the flicker-effect has gone.

The I "navigated" to work (just for fun). And when I arrived (50 Minutes est.) the flicker was back again. Seems to happen when the device works hard for a couple of minutes.

Anyway, I'll stop investigation and send it back to the dealer.

BTW: Thanks for the comment !

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] noncomjd:
I've been mucking around with Android for a while but basically stay with a ROM and what it comes packaged (or recommended) with.

Recently I've been looking around at Custom Kernels and I see they offer different options and functionality, but I lack some basic information:

I am guessing that the Kernel and ROM have to be compatible?

Is, for example a Kernel like Blu Spark or Lighting (all for OP5 and Nougat) compatible with all OP5 Nougat ROMs or is it ROM by ROM?

I looked over the pages for both Kernels and also for xXx Freedom OS and didn't see any information concerning compatible ROMs or compatible Kernels, is there any place/list that shows the compatibility of ROMs and Kernels?

Any information, or guidance to where I can find it would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
Very simple.

There are 2 types of kernels. One which only works on an OOS based (custom) Rom, and one which will only work on a LOS or AOSP based Rom. Most custom kernels will work on every LOS or AOSP based ROM. But... There's one negative thing about flashing custom or OOS based Kernels. You will never know how the Kernel and/or ROM will behave. There's no 100 percent guarantee if a custom Kernel or ROM are made for each other. Even if a Kernel which comes with the ROM is no guarantee for working properly. There's no such thing as "Stable" even with ROMs. Because stable doesn't exist in a Dev World. It will always be a never ending story.

Long story short, search for yourself an satisfying combination. If you found one combination you like, stick with it and motivate the Custom ROM Developer and or Kernel Developer. :cool:

Edit: as you can read i cannot give a proper answer to your questions. The reason why a Custom ROM Dev doesn't show a list in their OP for working Custom Kernels, is mainly based on the fact that they don't like if a user flash another Kernel that didn't came with their ROM. Mostly to avoid non related ROM issues. Besides that, if you made a decision to flash a Different kernel, along with their ROM, you're on your own.

Sorry for being off-topic.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zombie:
Each kernel needs to be build for each rom. Well not each rom. Each rom based on the top three. OOS, AOSP, and LOS. As each has their own kernel.

If you use LOS 14.1 or RR, then youll need a los kernel. If you run stock OOS. Freedom or xXx, youll need an oos based kernel

Not all devs build their kernels for los or aosp. Me as an example. I only have mine built for OOS and It wont work on los or aosp (well it may but you are 99.999% likely to run into a lot of problems)

I hope that clears it up a tad bit
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] noncomjd:
[MENTION=7976298]lekiaM[/MENTION] You provided a great answer and thank you. I did notice that some developers (xXx NoLimits) provide the option to select various Kernel during the install. I pretty much expected that matching a Rom to Kernel was a crap shoot to certain degree. I am going to try a few out and see how it goes.

One final question, if a Kernel offers functionality that is not offered in the original Kernel, how do you go about taking advantage of the added functionality?

Will the Kernel add those selection to the settings or will I need a different app to access them? I was thinking in particular of the don't wake on plug/unplug. I utilized some ROMs (CM) that had this feature in the setting, I use Freedom OS now and don't see that in the setting, but I see that the Blu Spark Kernel offers access to that function.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] noncomjd:
It does thanks. Prior to selecting some ROMs to try, I read that AOSP required a specific ROM so I steered away from it, for now. Until I am able to become a little more familiar with the entire subject.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zombie:
An aosp based rom will install and run like any other rom you decide to flash. It comes with the stock kernel built in

Each rom has their advantages and disadvantages. Currently Im running xXx 4.0 which is OOS based with extra features and then of course my own kernel for better performance and battery
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
[MENTION=4309766]noncomjd[/MENTION] Good question. And honestly I've been wondering that too (most of the time) i could gave you a simple answer on that, but i wont.

A Kernel can interfere with the ROMs behavior (for example manipulate the vibration, sounds, led light strength, button behavior and so on.) But a Kernel has their limits too and also the Kernel Dev in question. Besides that , i did saw some very strange things a Kernel Dev can do to manipulate a ROMs behavior. But i wont go further in that.

Answer to your question:

Yes. A good kernel dev can overwrite or add some tweaks in the ROM itself (you won't see it while flashing, but believe me after that, some things in settings are missing or added in the build.prop) . But as i earlier said it has their limits. A good Kernel Dev is aware of their capabilities. And they mostly play save. If a kernel Dev mentioned or added a feature or something in their changelog, than the feature is there. But to enable or disable that feature, you mostly need an 3rd party app(like a Kernel Manager) to activate or deactivate their added feature.

:)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
You need a kernel tweaking app in order to change kernel settings.

You can change those settings even if you run the stock kernel, but it won't offer as much features.

There are many kernel tweaking apps available and some kernels even provide their own apps.
