ABOUT MOBILE DATA / MMS

For me also not working, call your cell operator or google APN settings and insert them manualy, you have to do this for MMS to.

Developer has nothing to do with that :)

P.s.: Is is possible to ad some CPU governors manualy and will they work as with custom kernel?... O yeah is there some custom kernel yet?

No twrp jus simple patched kernel.

Then flashed the twrp

Then flashed magisk no Xposed be used it gets in bootloop.everything is fine now
[Xperia Z5 General] filjusz:
Flashed latest update .54 on monday, phone running very well, battery keeps better, seems to be snapier now. Dirty flash via flashtool, everything seems to be fine
[Xperia Z5 General] dave457:
I installed this ROM and the kernel and then Magisk 15.3 Everything OK but I can't find a working version of Viper4Android to work with this setup.

Has anyone managed this or any ideas?

Hi I flashed kernel but I lost fingerprint. Any solution?
[Xperia Z5 General] asgz:
* I just like to root my device and install recovery. Can I do that without unlock bootloader ?

* I followed your steps one by one but during trying flash in fastboot mod kernel and recovery it says ' FAILED (remote : command not allowed) '. what could it cause ?

https://i.hizliresim.com/gO4V20.jpg
[Xperia Z5 General] Devo7v:
You need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash non-stock files through fastboot. That's the only way you can flash a modified kernel and TWRP.
[Xperia Z5 General] asgz:
Thank you for reply.

I found in flash tool root tools. Are these tools works ? Anyone tried ?
[Xperia Z5 General] Devo7v:
You need to unlock your bootloader to root. Then you can flash TWRP, then you can root with whatever method you choose (Magisk, SuperSU, PHH Superuser, etc.).
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
You have to use "Command Prompt" not Power Shell.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
You have to change SELinux for viper4.

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-selinux-permissive-script-t3577549
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I changed my device (mi5s plus). 32.4.A.1.54 is the last update, so i will not release any stock rom. I strongly recommend you to download your stock ROM via xperifirm before deleting update files.
[Xperia Z5 General] dave457:
So how would I change SELinux to permissive inside of TWRP (ready to flash V4A) as I thought it reset on every re-boot?

I did find an older version of V4A with the SELinux option in the Aroma installer and it seemed to work, but would prefer the later version.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
You can use magisk module, then flash SELinux tool. After that flash viper and try again. You have to use busybox as well.
[Xperia Z5 General] dave457:
Sounds like you have it working on the Z5. Do you a link to the SELinux tool you used?

Thanks

Edit: Forget that. I got it working. Dirty flashed Rom then kernel, then TWRP, then Magisk, then VP4A for Magisk 15 (module) and it worked fine without SELinux change. Must have been permissive to start with.

Thanks for your help

Hi everyone

Any chance to have a root method needless to flash the phone?!

After some Googling, I found this:

https://drfone.wondershare.com/root/xperia-z5-root.html

Is it safe?! Does it even work?
[Xperia Z5 General] Praetoriani:
Just a quick question:

Do I have to use your E6633_32.4.A.1.54_1307-1380_R2E.ftf

or can I use 32.4.A.1.54_1309-3895_R1E.ftf (downloaded with XperiFirm).

Or is your patched Kernel 32.4.A.1.54_E6633.img only for the Firmware you are using?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I used 1307-1380 kernel.sin file, so it will be better if you use 1307-1380.

It will work with your firmware 1309-3895, fingerprint may not work..
[Xperia Z5 General] Praetoriani:
I don't know if this works. Could be. But: I do not trust such One-Click-Root-Applications. I do not know what they're doing. I rooted several phones and I always beleived in the xda-community. I am not a pro but I can understand the guides here on xda. But if someone offers me an application which "simply" does all the magic I will not use it. I like to do it by my own. Because than I can be sure what happens and I can be sure that nothing else will be flashed/installed to my phone.

Well, ... I followed your Guide just with the small difference that I flashed my downloaded E6633_32.4.A.1.54_1309-3895_R1E_Customized_DE.ftf. What shall I say .... it works like a charme :D ... even the fingerprint ;)

I'm not a pro, but it looks like that there's no (or not such a big) difference regarding the kernels os 1307-1380 and 1309-3895

The only thing that makes me confused is, that I cannot open SuperSU App :eek:

Well, ... unfortunately I can open it. But I always get the Message SU Binary occupied when I open the SuperSU App.

And somehow I can't solve it.

As I said, I did everything (steps 1 to 30) like in your Guide. At the End I flashed SuperSU, did a reboot, then booted into recovery again, flashed Magisk and booted into System again. My System is definitely rooted. But I am not able to open SuperSU App :(

Does this "Error" occure because of flashing Magisk?

If I remove Magisk with the official Uninstaller, do I have to flash SuperSU again??

Edit: Is there a way I can patch th kernel.sin of my downloaded firmware? Some kind of a tutorial/guide would be great ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I plaster the 28th step, so you have to use only one SuperSU, Magisk or phh.

Magisk&SuperSU or Magisk&phh does not work together anymore..

Please do clean rom install & kernel, then only use latest Magisk.
[Xperia Z5 General] Praetoriani:
Damn it :eek:

Thanks to make it clear to me now ;).

There was this moment when I looked at the 28th step ant thought:

Does this mean I can either use SuperSU or Magisk?!.

Then I thought: I gonna flash them both!.

Well, ... I think I try to uninstall Magisk first. If this doesn't fix my issue I definitely have to do a clean ROM & Kernel Installation. In the best case I save at least one hour of flashing/(re-)booting and so on. And in the worst case ... you know the rest ;) :p
[Xperia Z5 General] Røøki:
Hello Praetoriani,

can you share a link for the file, please.

Thx
[Xperia Z5 General] Praetoriani:
I downloaded this file via XperiFirm (which is a part of Flashtool). So I actually do not have a link to share.

You can download Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

After Installation, run Flashtool and click on the XperiFirm-Icon (should be the last icon with XF on it)

In XperiFirm search for Sony Xperia Z5 Sumire. Then choose E6633 dual

Now have a look for German in the Market-Column.

When you click on that line, you will see two different Firmwares on the right side of XperiFirm:

32.4.A.1.54 / R1E and 32.2.A.5.11 / R1C

Click on the 32.4.A.1.54 / R1E-Button. You'll get a popup with the details of the Firmware:

Device: Xperia Z5 dual (E6633)

CDA: 1309-3895

Market: Germany

Operator: Customized DE

Network: GENERIC

Version: 32.4.A.1.54 / R1E

Size: 2,65 GB

Simply hit the Download-Button in the Popup-Window and wait until download has been finished.

If the Firmware has been downloaded and extracted, close all the opened windows (including the XperiFirm-Window) and return to Flashtool

Now, Flashtool will do the magic for you and creates the FTF for you.

It is important that all other windows are closed (except Flashtool). Otherwise Flashtool will not create the FTF for you.

That's it ;)

Hope this helps you getting your Firmware ;)

If you have any problems or questions, let me know.

In the worst case I will upload the file for you.

Fla**** this trough Flashtools will I get my Z5 rooted?

I'm not a root user actually and I'm on Nougat 7.1.1

An answer will be much appreciated!

I'm getting trouble trying to install another spotify version, cracked one to be honest.; and I can't uninstall the one pre-installed with the system.

Is there a way to do it properly?

Tried ES File ROOT, System safe uninstaller, and nothing is working.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Do this..

1.Install Termux on Play Store.

2.Write "su" command and give root access.

3.Then write this

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

4.Lastly write this

busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

5.Re-try uninstall spotify with system app remover or use root explorer and delete spotify folder in system apps.

Sir, how to root z5 E6683 (LB) N 7.1.1..?
[Xperia Z5 General] Noobwanttoroot246:
Help me please

I tried to root my Z5 E6653. I was always encountered the error with the fastboot.exe command. When i tried to do fastboot TWRP and the 32.A.4.1.54_E6653.img, CDM said the command is not allowed but available under \fastboot.exe, and i tried that and the result is always saying that Failed (remote: command not allowed). Step 1 to step 14 were fine, device OEM was unlock, Bootloader enable, flashtool recognise my device in all three states, I have tried with other pc but it still happened. So if you guys have any idea about what happening, please guide me. Thanks a lot :crying::crying:

If you want to root device, you have to unlock bootloader and you have to use patched kernel. If you want to use stock again, you can flash stock ftf then restore drm..

I am trying to get Magisk working on my Z4 Tablet, which I think is very similar to the Z5 series, they have the same SOC and even share kernel versions (latest is 32.4.A.1.54). Since Magisk version 13 it boot loops in the boot animation (red led blinks then reboots). Magisk seems to install fine, no error messages while flashing.

I have used the latest rootkernel tool to patch the kernel.

I would be very thankful for any ideas how to solve this.

[Xperia Z5 General] RizRise:
Thanks a lot for the guide!!!

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for creating such an amazing and detailed guide. It worked perfectly for me.

I have a question though....

I have been facing the issue like thousands of other with my fingerprint scanner. Even after flashing this ROM, Patched Kernal and Rooting my device, I could not find finger print scanner.

It used to work perfectly before I updated to Android 7.1.1.

My Question is...

Is it possible to have only a flash able zip file dedicated to fingerprint only where I don't have to install the whole ROM again because I'm very happy with the .ftf file you provided.

Is there any possibility that I could flash only a small fraction of software that include FingerPrint functionality for my Xperia Z5?

Thank You

For your Time.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I dont know the reason to lose fingerprint, so If you want to try, flash your stock version via XperiFirm then send to me kernel.sin file, then I will patch your kernel for you..
[Xperia Z5 General] dape16:
Do you use the Root Kernel script when patching the kernels? Or do you use a script that you made yourself?

Thanks.

Please help. I am stuck at step 21. From 1 to 20 worked fine. But step 21 i get message FAILED (remote : command not allowed

I have boot unlocked, oem unlocked,...

Did command in cmd...

But still no luck..
[Xperia Z5 General] RizRise:
Thank you so much. It sounds so over whelming and honestly speaking I'm not that much of an expert. So If there is any pre-existing kernel which can be used on Xperia Z% or if there is any other way to flash only that fraction of software which can make my finger print work.

Because even in the stock firmware the fingerprint completely disappeared after updating to 7.0 / 7.1 after marshmallow.

Anyway thanks for the help. Do let me know if there is any other way...

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Hi From Step 18 it also didn't work for me and I don't know the reason why?

But here are the steps which I took to run those commands in step 21.

1- Run "Command Prompt" from start menu as an administrator.

2- put the below command:

cd (space) C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib and press enter.

2.1 It basically is another way to access the directory. The only difference is that instead of going in the directory and opening the command promt with Shift + rightclick, you will go to command prompt to open the directory.

3- Once the directory is open use the commands mentioned in step 21 one by one.

First put the below command and press enter.

fastboot.exe flash boot 32.4.A.1.54_E66xx.img

Then put the 2nd command below and press enter.

fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp_recovery.img

You're done!

You can continue with the rest of the procedure.

Thanks

Good day OP can I use your kernel on the latest nougat but Malaysian region? I used the kernel, I flashed this via fastboot but cannot acquire root via supersu(says I'm unrooted) I tried superuser as well it stays on sony logo upon boot. Tried the other supersu but ends up unrooted. I think the patched kernel works since I have drm fix working. Im on dual sim z5
[Xperia Z5 General] infinitylook:
Got it to working

I just used the kernel that I downloaded from Xperifirm to create a modified and patched one. i think the issue was that on my android 6.0 version I didn't used a systemless root method and it wasn't possible anymore in nougat. It conflicted with the systemless method of root.

Hello guys. I am in trouble with my device. It is e6603, at least it was. I am sure it was e6603 but when I try to flash apropriate ftf with flashtool, it says bundles dont match. Flashtool thinks my phone is e6653. I checked phone settings, it writes model number: e6653. I think it is associated with roms that I flash. Most of them says rom is compatible with both e6603and 53. I tried flashing different roms and then flash ftf with flashtool but I had no luck. It says opening ta partition, reading device, reads as e6653, says error: bundles dont match. Aborts flashing.

What happens if I flash e6653 to my device? As far as I know the only difference is modem. Does **53 modem compatible with **03 ? Please help me.
