Sorry for my english, google translator

So, I have to flash the ftf of germany? Does this kernel have the fingerprint sensor? I want to recover the fingerprint sensor, but I do not want to lose the drm keys I also do not want to lose root, any help? I use an e6603, with the ftf of latin america, but with the kernel of usa, is there any way to enable the fingerprint sensor?

thanks: 3

thank you sir for your work..but twrp still looping after flashing it>>>what shall i do(the phone stocked on twrp )

i did wipe cache and again mounted the system and flashed supersu>>>>>>but unfortunately.....didnot worked ...any suggestions???

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
Where did you flash it? And what model do you use?
[Xperia Z5 General] amer78:
i flashed rooted kernel via flash tool (fastboot)

then flashed twrp (same method)

then flashed supersu as always

my model is E6633 (dual sim z5)
[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
Are you sure you flashed the right firmware? With ".TA" removed? Try to flash the firmware and make sure it's the right model and build number using flashtool. Also check the img file if it's the right model too.
[Xperia Z5 General] amer78:
i did it all as mentioned but .....no hope...still stocked at twrp..and hone refuse to boot normaly..

i did wipe cahe ..fixing permissions...everything...n chance
[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
Try to flash ftf (firmware without the boot.img and twrp.img) also I might recommend to download the ftf via Xperifirm and not the one provided by the OP. Use the customised version.
[Xperia Z5 General] amer78:
i think the problem comes from twrp.....

its not compatible with my device

is there any other method to root?

1000 steps to root this junk

I hate SELinux, I prefer Symbian phones after all these more or less failed procedures. I got this phone occassionnally.

1) PREFFERED

I would actually send you this phone via post office to your country and you could root it, I could pay you a 40$ (i like btw in poor country, haven had no job for around 6 months or something, so could not offer more, but its always something) even for this (after success). Anyway you can give now your Paypal details or any service you use for dotations and payments.

2)

This rooting procedure is trip to hell for me (harder than programming itself). I'm sure it's after the procedure get Hard bricked so where in case I would buy memory chips to resolder?

Anyway this is my environment

MODEL E66xx E6653 (1 september)

8994-FAAAANAZQ-00065-37

Kernel 3.10.84-perf-g99119bc

BUILD 32.4.A.1.54

Alternate (easier methods) to check

Method 1 old?

Method 2

I need a root method as simple as possible offering super-root (twrp, so sadly no oneclicks for me...) and root. The errors, lags, slow battery life, camera problems, no fingerprints, no drm is no problem for me. I just need a kernel that actually works. I actually have rooted xperia z1 and it was working until it hard-bricked someday without reason (probably bad sectors, this mobile had over 5 years).

I attach report of all problems related to this thread.

What I need from rooting?

System which is like windows somehow, has good UI (XPOSED EDGE), lasts more (FREEZING APPS), no audio focus.

Xposed...

How to install in case of nice bootloop on stock LineageOS in this environment?

Help appreciated

Ok, I agree. So it will be 18:00 for me (UTC +1). I propose Friday 20:00 then. I use TeamView 9 and Brosix (skype not supported) on mac and Teamview 11 on Windows. Do I need to install linux for manual root procedure and patching on my hardware (I have total 4 windows partitions on second pc)? If yes then what distribution I should use. Currently I have Ubuntu 13.04 present on my VT program (newest available for Mac Os X 10.7.5 Mac Pro 2007). I have had rooting in past LG E610 via oneclickroot and it worked well with mac vt program, but virtualbox have problems with recognising usb devices such as usb 3.0 pendrive, external drives. Already installed all flashtool drivers (z5 device), generic drivers, universal adb driver, platform tool (along with adb) system-wide copy in system32 and Android Studio. System which I use for rooting is raw Windows 7 x86_x32. Attached device info (Arm64).

The rooting procedures:

1. Backup of everything:

Stock recovery

System, boot, ext-sd partition and bios,

TA partition and internal memory conf files

2. The patching of kernel if its needed

3. Whole flash procedure with camera view of usb ports in my PC

4. Granting super-root access to SuperSU device (system RW, fetchable bootable-from-system twrp)

5. Installing LineageOS if xposed wont work with SuperSU

6. App2SD configuration, linking AdAway to host file

Edit: My Teamview username is AnonA2 and Brosix is anona.

:silly: I literally have bricked my Nokia 5130 XM recently (SIM slot break) so I would rather NOT to do anything with rom myself.....lol

And how am I going to unlock my bootloader? Is it even necessary to unlock my bootloader just to get root?

My device says "bootloader unlock allowed: yes"

What does this mean exactly and what do I have to so now?
[Xperia Z5 General] Dirrtydog:
You unlock your bootloader following Sony's tutorial. Google it. You only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to install custom ROMs on your device. If your bootloader is locked, then you can run only official stock ROMs.

If that string states "yes" then you can unlock your bootloader using the tutorial in this (general) forum site or the one mentioned above. Also, I suggest researching (beforehand) what actually unlocking the bootloader means and implies (in terms of DRM key, etc) and don't just do it blindly. Learn the differences between root and unlocking the bootloader - it will help you understand more easily what you are doing and why you are doing that.

To get root, just follow precisely the tutorial on the 1st page.

[Xperia Z5 General] superyin:
I nearly bricked my Z5 due to lack of experience to flash Xperia device. Just learned

1. Unlock bootloader will lost DRM and such BionZ / X-Reality features are all gone

2. flash TWRP recovery but without flash a patched kernel is impossible for stock ROM. I stuck in this stage a whole day until I found this guide.

Excellent step-to-step guide, my E6683 Z5 Dual flashed flawlessly and back to normal. Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 General] Scooterthedude:
To all with the command issues on Step 21. I have figured out the issue. I messed with it for a couple hours and noticed in the Flashtool if you clicked "Unlock BootLoader" even though i opened the Bootloader in Developer tools didn't mean it was unlocked. Well once you run that unlock bootloader it will ask for a code. Well click on the link to go to the Sony site and select your phone, then, put your IMEI that Flashtool gave you. Youll get a code and go back to Flashtool and throw it in there. Wala phone will restart and wipe data. If you look in developer options now it wont even give you an option to turn it off and it will say bootloader unlocked. Now do Step 21 and your off with your rooted phone!
[Xperia Z5 General] ShamblerDK:
Does anything like this exist for Z5 Premium (E6853)? I am running stock firmware, which is probably more than 3 years old now, and I really want to just try a dirty flash now.

If there's no guide like this for the E6853, I may just keep running the old ****ty software.

rooting fails to work

I am following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/ftf-e66xx-patched-kernels-google-drive-t3688365 but it fails to identify my device, and it's not in the "Device Selector" screen, even thought the Compact and Premium versions are. Which makes no sense, since the Premium just has an extra SIM socket.

Flashtool log gives me: 'cannot identify your device.' and warns: "close() called when useCnt is already zero"

I realize this isn't too much to go on, but it's all I got.

Thanks, I was trying to unlock bootloader as I posted, but I can't get the drivers to work. Won't recognise my phone.

Once the bootloader is unlocked I can do twrp recovery and root. Should I flash the kernel or just stay with what I have?
[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
If you're having issues with the driver, firstly, use Windows 7 below, Windows 8 and 10 are crap in getting Xperia Z5 drivers, install Sony Suite on their website, you'll get the drivers there automatically, restart PC after installing them. Make sure you have the correct ADB program, and the phone's permission for Bootloader unlocking and enable Android debugging (Developer options)

If you unlocked the bootloader, you will lose DRM functionality. Means you will lose warranty, some image, music (audio/video) and camera features. This kernel fixes it. Now the advantages of unlocked bootloader is yes you can get a custom recovery (TWRP) and you will be able to flash root (SuperSU or MAGISK), same concept as Xposed.
