I really appreciate your reply, but I am a complete noob and all this is extremely overwhelming.

"PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module" - this alone gives me terrors :)

I know nothing about these things but I understand you, it's just everyday business for you coz you are a developer. I tried reading your guides and there are so many things I don't understand. I also was traumatized by rooting my S10, which I sold and got Xperia 5 instead. I read here people said I will permanently lose DRM keys after rooting. This is my biggest problem. With S10 I knew I could go back to stock and not worry. Here, if I go all the way and deGoogle my Xperia and it doesn't work the way it should I won't be able to go back and on top of that selling it will be harder and I will lose money since not everyone is willing to buy a phone which can't get Netflix and other DMR-dependent garbage.

Maybe I could sponsor you to help me flashing all the stuff. I just don't know if it's a crazy idea. Also, asking you to rewrite your guides for idiots like me is asking too much, given how busy you are.

If you have some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BuyXRPnow!:
Thank you! You are a hero. I will be waiting for your updated guides and possibly a video for noobs. Appreciate your time!

I'm about unlocking my new Xperia 5.

Now I wonder, if I should upgrade it to the last fw before unlocking, or is it better to unlock it out of the box (it is still maiden :p)?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :good:

Edit:

First of all, updated/upgraded to the current fw (...3.149), then unlocked the bootloader. Right after that, I've installed the corresponding patched_boot.img provided in this thread, rebooted into system and installed Magisk Manager. As I want to modify system (e.g. debloating), I had to patch the boot.img again with dm-verity disabled, ofc (I took the boot.img of my fw for that).

[MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION]

Is it mandatory to flash the patched_boot.img on both slots a and b?

Btw, many thanks for this thread, your efforts and providing your work for the community - very appreciated :svetius:
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
You're welcome Mate, think actually is that at least something i can do for our Community. (Since TWRP is struggling with Android 10)

And Yes, it is mandatory since You can end up with Bootloops or an unroot Situtation in some Cases (Eg. with updating Magisk or GSIs).
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] maaakn:
Flashed 55.1.A.8.1 and tried via magisk to patch boot image just in the description. But it just bootloops.

fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
Did you patch it before updating the firmware?

If you provide us the boot_X-FLASH-blabla.sin, we could patch it for you ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] maaakn:
Thanks! https://gofile.io/d/4QZYgd (fw 55.1.A.8.1)
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
I have sent you a pm :D

Edit:

I presume that you've already unlocked the bootloader of your device, otherwise it will never work ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] maaakn:
Help me flashing this. With .149 i followed the first post and I had a magisk manager pre installed

I just dl the patch team match end ran the fast boot commands.

Rebooted and phone rooted.

With the new firmware it just bootloops. Yes I have a patched firmware from another member.

Don't understand why it bootloops? 1. Magisk manager. Should I install it afterwards? Help me ..this is my 5th Sony..maybe it is a newbie question.. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Haha. Yes I have. Lol.

Sent you PM's btw.

I had root with .149 but with newest firmware it loops
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
Well, maybe you gave me the wrong boot.img. The boot.img has to be from the same fw version you've installed...
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] maaakn:
No I'm sure I took it from latest..should I do anything else? Rooted .149 without problem

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

I try again
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
As we don't have a recovery for this device yet, I'd suggest it would be the best, if you install the whole fw again (also userdata).

Good luck!

In addition, this is not really related to this thread; therefore we shouldn't spam it. If you need further help, please use the search function. If you find no solution, it's the best to open your own thread ;)

[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsatan:
On my xperia xz1, I just flashed twrp after an android update then ran the magisk zip in twrp and it would patch my boot.img. No special kernel or update needed. Wonder if that could work.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Could You specify what You mean? (:
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsatan:
So for a while on my XZ1 we need a kernel to get root. Eventually though Sony stopped gutting the features so you didn't really need a kernel. I figured out that I could just update to the latest security update. Flash twrp.img as recovery via adb. Let android boot so it creates it all. Then reboot to twrp and install magisk from the zip and it patched the boot.img to have root. It is honestly one of the easiest rooting ways I have ever seen on a Sony unit. I know my XZ1 has an A/B partition scheme but the Xperia 5 might be different. Either way it is worth a shot to try.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MiMoHo:
[MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION] Thank you for providing this service! You uploaded a PixelExperience variant yesterday but the Xperia 5's Magisk-patched stock firmware kernel is still from July. Could you keep them up to date with every new firmware release? Would be much appreciated!
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
[MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION]

Here's the boot_X-FLASH-ALL-A2CD.img for the J9210_Customized EU_1320-0801_55.1.A.9.101_R12B firmware, dual sim version (September security patch).

As your last post in your thread here was in July, I hope you don't mind, if I provide the magisk_patched.img for the afforementioned 9.101 firmware (both "Preserve force encryption" and "Preserve AVD 2.0/dm-verity" are set to active, ofc ;)).

Please let me know, if I should remove the magisk patched image again!
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Since I have a lack of Time these Days, thanks for sharing! Would just be also good to know from which firmware it is. I will add it to Google Drive once I know it (:

Btw. It would be nice if more People would contribute Kernels from various firmwares to Me. I really appreciate that as long as it's done with the latest Magisk Managers and kept dm-verity and forced encryption. Community and so... :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
I've edited the post above yours and added the exact designation of the firmware.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Magissia:
Are you doing something specific ? Can we patch it ourselves ?

Patching it from magisk manager and flashing it should be enough ?
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
No, nothing specific; it's patched with "Preserve force encryption" and "Preserve AVD 2.0/dm-verity" set to active, nothing else. Yes, you can patch it by yourself, but it's only possible, if your device is alsredy rooted, ofc.

For example, if you're on a previous firmware, download the current firmware via FlashTool, convert the boot_X-blabla.sin to boot_X-blabla.img, then move/copy it to the internal or external sd of your device, then patch it with MagiskManager. Right after that, move/copy the created magisk_patched.img onto your pc. Now flash the appropriate firmware with newflasher. Once done, you can flash the magisk_patched.img with the commands from the op. Done!

Great job with this guide ! Thank you Miustone ! I ve just offered you a beer for your great gift to the community :)

Now that I am root I will enjoy a real chroot on my phone instead of proot ( https://xdaforums.com/t/termux-on-my-xperia-5-tripled-the-speed-of-this-12yo-laptop.4254035/ ), so that I can, for example, enjoy watching videos from my jellyfin server onto my old weak laptop thanks to debian vivaldi installed on my xperia :) ...

(vivaldi in a debian proot in termux will crash if I connect to my jellyfin server, but it will work fine in a debian chroot (linuxdeploy) ... )

PS :

rooting went smoothly for me :) ... only at step "26 Press and hold now the Volume UP Button while connecting to USB to enable the fastboot Mode (You're in fastboot if You can see the BLUE LED on Your Xperia) (before flashing magisk)" my Xperia 5 didn't go immediately into fastboot ... I had to kind of touch some buttons (sorry I don't remember them ... )
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shizuku:
hi,

Although i'm fairly new to the Xperia 5 when it comes to rooting, i'm familiar with rooting phones like the Samsungs.

I read on the Sony page for unlocking the bootloader that the phone wil do a hard reset, so i'm searching for a way to backup my stuff, apps with data and so on. Does anyone of you know how to back up everything before going down the rooting path? thnx.

edit: got the backup sorted out and went on succesfully rooting my phone, except for a minor sound problem which i described in de Mars Som thread.

[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fafauznn:
Sorry i'm new to sony and i found it's super complicated just to root this thing

So the first step to get the patched magisk file is i need to download the phone firmware first (after unlock the bootloader), but i have no idea which version i must use since i bought this phone third-hand and the second owner doesn't have any idea about it , from the box it says SI 1321-2108 , is that number my phone CID? If that true then i can't continue to next step since it isn't available in Xperifirm , my guess is i can download the Southeast version (CID 1320-6293) since it written "Made in Thailand" on the box, or can i Download any version freely ??
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
You have to open the settings of your device, then look for the file "About the phone"; there you will find the model name, e.g. "J9210" ;)

[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
You don't need to use the outdated Kernel from him. Just use the one from the latest Firmware. I also recommend the Pixel Expierence GSIs from here:

Releases · ponces/treble_build_pe

Script and patches for building PHH-Treble Pixel Experience - ponces/treble_build_pe

github.com

They work overall better, have more Features and are always up-to-date besides beeing more securely since you don't need to edit vbmeta...
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyamarthaa:
can i switch to GSI directly without flashing stock firmware?

I'm worried about my bootloader if flashing to stock firmware because I opened it via S1 Tools.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
You can use GSIs with any Firmware since Android 9. You need just to replace/flash the System Part.

Have fun!

I can NOT enter recovery mode on this phone at all. I have tried every combination, re-installed firmware done several factory resets. I have all the correct drivers installed and can not get the phone recognized for anything other that normal file transfers.

Is it possible that this phone does not have a recovery installed ?

Hey,

Another HP iPQS 614c question - I've set the default input method to T9. However, what I'm seeing is that this only applies to certain text boxes. It generally works okay for SMSs, but, it doesn't work when entering information into Internet Explorer.

Is this the behaviour other people see?

Does anyone know how to make the default actually be the default for all entry places?

yes, all this does is change the system setting. nothing more.

the problem is that the system setting, the "default", well its only a default for certain types of input box.

try setting it to T9, then load internet explorer and click in the address bar. you won't be on T9.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] madphone:
I think the most annoying bug is the gesture on the home screen. Unlike the gestures within an app or on homescreens of iPhones or pixel phones, the phone doesn't react directly with fading out the home screen. You have to perform the gesture, and then the cards pop in. Since Samsung is forced to implement Google's gestures, and it behaves different here, I consider this as a bug. Although it is still present in new phones like a51.
