Z5 e6883 root - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
I've been watching the forum for years now and I admit there are plenty of nice guides ( I even rooted my z3 dual first try using the guides)
Now I have purchased Z5 premium dual e6883 model and it's been sitting in the box for almost 2 months now, waiting on a root guide
Most of the guides are either for different models like e6853 or for experts who are into testing and experiencing options
I know there are successful attempt to root this model so I ask if there is any comprehensive (complete) guide on how to get the root for this device?
I would appreciate if anyone can refer to a post or even a guide that I can follow
Model 6883
Android 5.1.1
Build 332.0.A.6.170
Karnel 3.10.49-perf-g9a3c9a8-04532-g75e6207
Many thanks for all the support

Any help please?

I think the first thing that you want to know is, currently you can't root without your bootloader unlocked.
(Please Google search for more details regarding the "side effects" of the unlocked bootloader Sony smartphones, though tobias.waldvogel has created the DRM functions restoration mod.)
My advice, why don't you wait until Android 6 rolls out? Maybe more developers would focus on the latest ROM and bring out various ROOT methods (for unlocked bootloader and locked bootloader maybe?)
I wanted to ROOT my Z5 premium dual since the first day I bought it, but it is a sad thing to lose the DRM keys (my opinion), and unless the DRM functions restoration mod becomes "better", I will not unlock my bootloader just yet...

keep waiting.. I received 6.0.1 ota on an amazon z5p e6883. The phone worked famously.. .loved it.
Some compulsive and sick part of me wanted to root the phone.. no good reason.. the phone worked perfectly.
I didn't research enough to know that unlocking the bootloader wipes drm keys.. (my hastiness there, no one to blam)
I unlocked the bootloader -
Followed a few guides on this site (full of some knowledgeable folks, but most are tards.. including the site designer who decided to fill the site with shockwave flash ads..WTF)
I can safely say, NONE of the guides worked on this model.
So I've got no rooted phone, but lost DRM keys, so lost phone functionality.
Here's my understanding of the procedure, asuming the obvious.. you have fastboot, flashtool and adb all working
1. unlock bootloader
2. get modified 'premissive' kernel (there are a couple flying around.. I tried both Z5PDual_AndroPlusKernel_v5b.zip, and E6883_MM_ROOTABLE_PERMISSIVE_boot.img during different attempts..
3. get twrp (I tried both twrp-2.8.7.0-E6883-20151130_material.img and twrp-3.0.2-0-E6653-20160504.img. on different runs)
4. flash boot with permissive or andro plus
6. flash recovery with 2.8 or 3.0 twrps
7 reboot and watch You'll see the sony banner then yellow led... Press and hold vol down during yellow led)..
8. Blam. you're in twrp.. All good right.. time to install su.zip or su and drm repair zip...
gravy right..
not for me..
my phone doesn't boot at any point after this point. The OS starts, but I get either a continuous animated 'sony waves' banner OR Android is Starting.. starting apps. (I've waited a long time for this to progress but did not make it to OS..
My recovery..
Flash tool 9.0.22
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium(E6883). FW release : 32.2.A.0.224_R6C. Customization : India Generic_1299-6238
After this, I'm back in business, but without unlocked bootloader and no DRM keys or patch..
during debugging I tried several combinations and found that the OS will not boot after these two modified kernels are pushed
AND twrp won't install without the modified kernel
Would be appreciate if someone could guide me through this, without saying "did you unlock your boot loader..?"
Otherwise, I'd suggest taking that phone out of the box and using it stock.. it's a great phone.

I'm going to side with Giz on this one. Take the phone out of the box and use it without trying to unlock the bootloader. It is a nice phone and the camera is pretty awesome as long as your DRM keys are intact. I'd love to unlock my bootloader too so I could root the phone but I'm not willing to loose some functionality to do so. One thing that really annoys me is those 2 worthless SIM card icons in the tray. They are worthless. All we need are the signal icons. Anyway that's my .02.

Pardon the pun, but I think I found the "root" of the problem ... at least for myself anyway..
this is for those who *HAVE* unlocked the boot loader.
I couldn't get my 6.0.1 phone (32.2.A.0.224) rooted. I've got the E6883 Dual Sim.
To recap:
I've Unlocked
I've downloaded E6883 MM Permissive Kernel
I've Downloaded E6533 TWRP
What happens after this is that my phone will not ever boot. It just hangs on the animated xperia waves screen.
My Fix is to reflash with flashtool
During Flash AFTER installing the permissive kernel I noticed that the flash tool detected a .163 build number. I thought this was odd because I just flashed to .224
I believe the issue is that the 6883MM permissive boot loader (required to install twrp) was built from a 163 kernel AND the boot loader is not compatible with the system flash that loads up.
I believe all that is required for root on 6.0.1 is a new 6883MM permissive (built using a .224 parent).
Does any of this theory hold any water?

This thread has helped me for E6853 http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/32-1-1-185-stock-modified-kernel-t3355369

I haven't unlocked my bootloader or attempted to root the phone so I don't have any experience to go on for this particular phone. I do know that sometimes you have to do a factory reset even though you have just flashed a new kernel and/or system image. If you haven't done so you might try that. Also keep in mind after a factory data reset the phone usually takes considerably longer to boot up than normal the first time so be patient. There is a thread that contains a modified .224 kernel so make sure you are using that one and not the .163. After flashing everything and BEFORE first boot perform a factory data reset in recovery and see if that makes a difference.

@Novioo i tried downgrading but could not find right version for E6833. Malaysian version kept crashing.
later i found stock modified roms for E6833 so i made deal with the devil and gave up my DRM KEYS by unlocking the boot loader,,,, but since the stock modified kernal has DRM Stimulation it works fine...
in my views, sooner or later, with or without DRM KEYS restored, you will be unlocking your boot loader anyway!
Z5 deserve to be FREED

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time for the response.
I did try the factory reset, then let the phone sit overnight on one occasion, but to no avail.
It turns out that there was a parallel thread using the modified 224 kernel that got me much futher along, but I had other issues with is, so I ended up rolling back to the 163 build on 6.0.0 with root and drmfix. I'll look again once in a few weeks I think. I took the time to get my phone set up again, at least this time I have root and the luxury of running titanium.. such a pain to get everything manually installed and configured.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader Xperia Play question

I bought a few weeks ago an Xperia Play locked on the 3 Network of UK. I removed the sim locked through one of the many sites that offer this service (htccode to be exact) and debranded it through wotanserver.com.
The problem I have is that I tried unlocking the bootlader of the device to no avail since I just can't enter fastboot mode no matter how many times I try (the blue light just doesn't light up). I've read quite a few other posts on this forum and a few other sites but I just can't find a clear answer as to why this is happening. I mean I unlocked the sim lock, I changed the firmware with a "clean one" and still it refuses to enter fastboot mode.
I tried rooting my phone through Gingerbreak or Superoneclick but they didn't work either. Is there any method (preferably an easy one) to root my phone? It's on Android 2.3.3.
Just a quick update to inform you that after a little more tinkering I managed to root my phone, and I might as well share with you how I did it.
Basically again using the wotanclient I returned my FW to 2.3.2 and tried Gingerbreak again. This time it worked like a charm! I also discovered that in 2.3.2 the 3g that didn't work on 2.3.3 now works like a charm so I might stuck with this FW for a while longer (maybe I will try 2.3.4 at some point as well).
Your bootloader is locked by your provider and it won't help unlocking the sim nor debrand it with flashing another FW. That's why it didn't help doing the stuff you did.
Look at this thread for unlocking the bootloader and accessing fastboot (it'll cost some money though, not much afaik):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232050
Further more gingerbreak/superoneclick etc. only works on gingerbread 2.3.2 as the loophole got patched in the higher builds. So if you want to retain root when updating do it by OTA or if you get fastboot going you can do it via CWM (clockworkmod) with a flashable .zip.

or you can flash doomkernel (which has many advantages, but again, need to enable fastboot mode on your phone, to then unlock bootloader before you can flash the kernel)
i highly recomend using alejandrissimo's service. i did, and i've never looked back

Yes there is mate. I take you have a R800i.
Go to the dev section and find a FTF file of FW build 2.3.2. Then grab flashtool 0.2.9.1 beta. Flash the FTF file and there you go. Downgraded and ready to root.
There's an easier way to root now, i take that's why you want to downgrade, just use the zergRush to do it. That works on any FW build. Check out the dev section for a thread about 'rooting with zergRush'.
Regards Dousan...
I forgot about the zergRush post cuz I bookmarked it but didn't read it that well. Are their bugs for doing it on the higher fw tho?

[Q] Frustrated Xperia Z1C T-Mobile UK owner.

Hi,
I have the CDA 1280-7858 Sony Xperia Z1 Compact model. I have yet not been able to upgrade my phone to latest lollipop, since T-mobile UK have not released it yet.
My phone is carrier unlocked, but bootloader CANNOT be unlocked, this leaves no possible way for me to add a custom rom , right?
What are my options here? Sit and wait forever or just get a new phone?
As you can see in the attachment, only T-mobile remains on the 14.4.A.0.157 release in the UK carriers.
You can always flash stock or custom stock based lollipop from some other region. You don't need unlocked bootloader for that. There are a couple of them prerooted+dual recovery in general z1c forum.

Ok, but this would erase my phone completely right? i would use flashtool to upgrade?
Is t here any reason why its taking so long to get the OTA update? I mean, optimally, i want that one and not really need to bother to reset the phone entirely for this update.
You can always make a backup in recovery (I'm thinking you have a recovery already) just in case you don't like lollipop (I didn't). You lose any app installed and preferences (for sms u can backup those and contacts you can sync with Google account) so you will have to reinstall those. If you want root for your phone you need one of those prerooted ones and those are flashed from recovery usually. Best thing is to read the instructions in those threads.
I don't have recovery mode i think. Since this comes with unlocking bootloader, which i CANNOT on my phone.. (its not possible, not even paid with jinx13).
You don't need unlocked bootloader for recovery. Just go here http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and browse to XZDualRecovery > XZDualRecovery 2.8.15 > Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip and install that from your PC (with the phone connected to your PC via USB). I think you need to enable USB debugging before doing this and you definitely have to be rooted. You should read around how to install stuff there are some guides and resource threads in General forum.
Edit: Also get the flashable version and store it somewhere safe on your phone. Anytime you flash a new ROM you need to also flash the recovery else you have to connect phone to PC and do the install version and that takes longer.
Thanks templeka, I have been unsuccessful in any attempt to root this phone also.. What would be the best way? it just seems to be locked in all ways possible for me to get this done.
edit: i tried the towelroot selection 3 from file you suggested.. it just stopped after libdvm opened (loljavasucks), and after reboot, i was unable to enter recovery mode. (pressed volume up or down, and there was no light on any diode, at any time)
You need to flash a stock .108 rom, root and install dual recovery.
Towelroot will not work on v157. Follow the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2977774
In short you need to flash v108 kernel, root and flash v157 kernel back with Flashtool. Be sure to install the necesary drivers after installing Flashtool (they are in the folder where you installed it).
Sorry for being noob still.. But how do i enter flash mode now? I mean reboot and holding volume down will only enter Safe Mode of the phone. (i think its because i have the wrong kernel?)
Just when i was about to give up.. 14.5.A.0.270 just released on t-mobile.. FINALLY!

[Q] BL locked on Xperia ZL. 4.4.4 - 0.292 - What are my options?

Hello,
I have a Xperia ZL C6506 with a locked bootloader. I would like to unlock it, or at least root the phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Android 4.4.4
Kernel version: 3.4.0-perfg1bb39c2
Build Number: 10.5.1A.0.292
Country: Canada
Flashtool will not root the phone, even trying Towelroot V3.
Seems like every answer I find on XDA says something about my phone is always stopping me. Either 4.4.4 is a problem, or BL locked, or 0.292, I can't root... What am I missing?
Do I have to flash a new kernel or rom? Is it even safe to flash anything, even if it is stock, on a phone with a locked bootloader? I do not want to brick.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I found this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/help/rooting-xperia-zl-t2994781
But,
I read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092 it says: "Newroot work with all kitkat firmwares but doesn't work with latest kitkat *after 108) .133, .157... firmware or with old JB firmwares!!!"
This is the only thing that I have found that I have not tried, but I am hesitant to try and flash an old kernel on a phone with a locked bootloader. Is it safe to flash anything on a locked bootloader?

Yes, it is safe, as long as you know what you are doing. Put it this way: flashing the downgraded kernel will not screw you up, but doing things the wrong way might.
1. Download this. It's NOT a flashable zip! Just unzip it, and use FTF files to flash the appropriate kernels.
2. Read my post that you linked. It gives you all the steps of the process. Installing recovery is optional, but highly recommended (very useful). Use the kernels you downloaded from my link above.
That's it! A couple of notes...
- I am assuming you know how to use the FlashTool. Not the original one from Sony, but the the one by Androxide. Make sure you are familiar with it before flashing!
- Newroot DOES work with .230 kernel. I have done it many times while playing with different ROM versions, works perfectly. Make sure you enable USB debugging, and watch your phone for prompts to grant access. Your phone should reboot after successful rooting. If for some reason it doesn't work, just try again.
- When you flash .230 kernel, you may have some weird issues with your phone. You will lose WiFi. Your phone may start vibrating for no reason (mine did). Maybe something else, I dunno... Don't worry, it's only temporary. Everything will get back to normal once you flash .292 kernel after rooting. Again, tried and proven fully working many times.
- If you decide to upgrade to LP afterwards, this will also be your procedure to recover, if you screw something up in the process (been there, done that). Just flash your .292 stock ROM, then repeat the rooting process, then start with LP over again.
Happy rooting!
Thanks so much. It is crystal clear now. Always good to get some advice from someone who has done it before on the same phone.
Trying to flash and I got this error (attached pic)
I am running the newest flashtool. I didn't have any problem with the older flashtool in the past when I used to flash my older phones. Also, the older one installed completely in one folder, this one installs in 2 folders, one in C: and the other in C:/users/Me for some reason.
I installed the V1.5 driver package. Not sure what else is wrong. I unzipped the zip file, put the kernel.only.ftf into the firmwares folder, I clicked flash, selected the .ftf file and connected the phone in flashmode. No dice.
Ok, tried it again, this time it didn't get a red error, I got a different one, and my build number is still 10.5.1.A.0292...
Installed recoveries.
Pic is attached.
Okay!
So, after the first flash, the build number didn't change, but the kernel was applied. I just tried using newroot and it worked, superuser is there. Just like you said, the wifi stopped working with the new kernel. I flashed the 0.292 kernel and the wifi came back, and the phone is still rooted.
Thanks for you help kt-Froggy!

American Z1s c6916 development

So I've just about had it with the leaky 5.0.2 lollipop firmware we got stuck with. Bootloader is hopelessly locked for no good reason meaning only Sony signed firmwares/kernels are flashable. A kind gentleman in one of the other subforums gave me instructions to install nuts recovery and that worked (I had rooted previously using kingroot).
He also packages up a flahable zip from a preroted c6903 5.1.1 official firmware (minus the modem files so my american tmo modem stayed in tact. I was trying to do a clean flash). Theoretically this should work right? Nope. Left my phone soft bricked over several attempts. I ended up getting the 4.4.4 ftf and flashing that back and honestly I'm happy with it.
But then I find out that my new vehicle in getting, which will support Android auto in a march update, requires lollipop or better. Son of biscuit eating bulldog!! I dont want to go back to the broken 5.0.2 firmware Sony and Tmo left us with. It was terrible.
Surely there has to be a way to trick the system into thinking we are flashing a stock 5.1.1 firmware to circumvent the locked bootloader right??? I was flashing customized ROMs back when my little brother had a Motorola Defy with a locked bootloader that all we needed to do was install recovery and "restore" a backup of said customized ROM and voila.
Any ideas?
Oh, another thought popped into my head. As far as I was aware, Xposed didnt work on our devices (well, the Z1s c6916 specifically). Can anyone confirm whether xposed works on the Z1s or not on 5.0.2? There is a module for xposed that claims to fix the memory leak issue so that could be another work around.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Follow the instructions to install xposed.

Reverting from custom ROM to stock causes bootloops

Hi guys,
I have a problem I need some advice for. A year ago, I purchased my Amami for the purpose of GPS-navigation on my bicycle. It always worked fine and I was able to charge it with my dynohub without any issues. The charging is giving me a headache now though, and all troubleshooting points at the phone being the problem.
Now, a couple months ago I decided to ditch 4.4 and go for a custom ROM (I've tried Oreo and Pie) which worked fine, but the phone doesn't charge as well as it used to on my bike. I'd like to go back to stock to see if that's what is causing the issue and used the Xperia Flashtool to revert to a stock image, but the ones that used to work on the phone now give me bootloops after I've flashed TWRP and ResurrectionRemix and Lineage OS.
Is there anything I need to know before I flash a stock firmware with the tool? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like to have not updated to Lolipop and therefore you do not have real recovery. Is your bootloader unlocked? Then you can try EMMA to update to Lollipop.

My bootloader is unlocked, I have TWRP installed and am currently running Lineage OS (Android 8). It doesn't matter if I flash Sony's original Kitkat or Lollipop; both will have bootloops. No offense, but I'm not sure you understood my original post: I'd like to go back to an old stock ROM, because 4.4 is the one that I'm sure have me no trouble with charging on my bike.
Proper BL relock:

If you use twrp in fotakernel partition maybe necassary to write back original fotakernel.sin (inside stock.ftf) before relock with flashtool. Remember! After relock with flastool the new BL unlock key here: DEVICESERIAL \ unlock.txt
