Hey, I followed this guide on my Z5P (cant copy the link, search it in google - twigstechtips blogspo sony z5-compact root without losing ta) until the last stage (not included) and everything succeed.
Now I have mm with root, so I tried to install RomAur, I copied the files (kernel and rom) to ex sd but I couldn't got access to TWRP I use adb command and power off the device and press plus/minus button but still without success.
Later I tried to flash with cmd the img file of the TWRP, the process succeed but still I couldn't get access to it.
Another question, I saved my DRM key, can I integrate it with Aur-Kernel-V3.0? cause I couldn't understand how I should do it on modified kernel.
Sorry for my English..

let me help you out as i have spend a few hours trying to solve this issue with my E6853.
1. DL Z5P_AndroPlusKernel_v4a.zip & twrp-2.8.7.0-E6853-20151122_material.img
(if your phone is a dual version,then DL the dual kernel and recovery.Pay attention to the model number,flashing a different one may brick your phone)
2. make sure you have ADB(fastboot) and all the relevant drivers installed(you can google them or find them in xda)
3.extract the kernel and you will get the image file.place them in the same folder as where you installed your adb (aka fastboot)
4. place your phone in fastboot mode.
5. using adb command,flash the kernel img and then the recovery img to your phone.
6.reboot and press vol up to enter into recovery.
i was not able to get twrp 3.02 working so i am using the old 2.8 version.if you can get the lastest one working,let me know how.

Hey,
Thank you very much for the explanation, but I figured it out and I am running twrp 3.02, I flashing the stock modified kernel [UB] [32.1.A.1.185] [E6833/E6853/E6883] [16-04-2016] by KbaB.BroS using the adb and it's works.
For my second question maybe you can help me, I saved my drm keys(MY TA FILE) and after I flash the stock modified kernel I flash romaur using recovery.
My question is now can I restore the my drm key?

you can flash your TA keys by following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605).
basically you need to "convert" your TA.img to the .ftf file and then flash using flashtool.
e.g: flash_dk ta.img DK.ftf
the author of this program have already stated Flashing this file with flashtool will write your device key to an alternative unit, from where the drmfix library will pick it up. and Nevertheless be prepared for problems if the custom kernel does not match your Android version.
its pretty straightforward. if your kernel is using the same program i mentioned,then the drmfix should be included,therefore u just need to flash your own TA keys using flashtool and you shld be ok.
if memory serves me well, your fido keys shld be showing ok if the drmfix libaries picked up your own devices' TA keys instead of the fix.

the adb (fastboot)command is flash_dk ta.img DK.ftf
(this does not flash anything to your phone while using fastboot,it will convert your ta.img file to .ftf file and you will need to use flashtool to flash it.)
fido keys is part of your TA backup.it will show up if you do a security check.
again, you need to read through the guide and the posts there.

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.
Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

I have downloaded latest Flash tool and able to take the backup of my D5316 model (not yet done root or recovery). Not sure we can flash it back to device after trying to unlock bootloader or root the device (in case unlock/root fails).
I dont see the the rooting procedure for device D5316. They are talking of TA Backup prior any rooting or Unlocking BL. When taking the complete FTF, doesn't it retain the DRM keys? I am less confident risking going for rooting for this device without confirmed backup of TA
Emma don't support Xperia T2 Ultra but you can use other Flash tool
To restore the original firmware go to xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/55-sony-xperia-t2-ultra-d5303
download the tool and the firmware of Xperia t2 ultra (D5303/D5316/D5306/XM50t) <- same model
Check you put your phone on flash mode (volume down), not fastboot (volume up).

Flashtool you need to get from http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Stock Sony firmware you can download using another nice tool: XperiFirm ~ Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker.
Using Flashtool you will need to convert stock firmware into flashable D5316_4.4.2_Sony.ftf , then you need to put your phone in flashmode mode by connecting USB cable to a computer while pushing Vol down (or up). Flashtool should recognize this mode.
Then you can chose what do you want to flash and what to skip.
It worked well for me and hope will help others.
Good luck!
I'm stuck on the android screen after flashing my T2 with a FXP ASOP Build. Will this same method to get me back to stock?
Download your device stock ftf file. And then flash through flashtool
Done and I'm back up and running. Appreciate the help. Now I need to cook my own ASOP rom. One last question, when I reflashed, SuperSu and other apps said they didnt have root access but when I got to unlock the phone again. It says its already unlocked. What am I missing here?

Using this method, you don't have to flash .230 kernels or use towel root.
For Unlocked bootloader only.
for unlocking any xperia device bootloader, check this link.
Requirements
Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde
C650x Superuser Mod
Advanced stock kernel for KK 10.5.1.A.0.283
Install all necessary drivers for xperia zl like flashtool drivers and adb drivers.
Steps
Open "Sony mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
Connect the device to the system using fastboot mode. For this, turn off the device and connect it to the system using USB cable while pressing the volume up button.
Now in "Sony Mobile Flasher", click the flash button on the top left corner and select fastboot mode.
Now click "Select kernal to flash" button.
Next, browse for the "Advance_stock_kernel_for_KK_10.5.A.0.283" image file. For getting the image file, you need to extract the zip file you have downloaded.
And now click OK. The flashing will be finished in seconds.
Now you have a custom recovery for the Xperia ZL.
Next, copy the "C6506_10.5.1.A.0.283_Superuser_Mod.zip" into your Xperia ZL and reboot the device to recovery.
In recovery, Select the "Install" option and find the "C6506_10.5.1.A.0.283_Superuser_Mod.zip" file and flash it.
Now reboot your device, And you are rooted!
For "Sony Mobile Flasher" screenshots, Check this link.

Yes, as long as you keep one important thing in mind: this method is for unlocked BL only. Downgrading a kernel works for both locked and unlocked BL.

It's very simple to get the boot.img file from the .zip file. Just right click the file named "Advanced_stock kernel_for_KK_10.5.1.A.0.283.zip", and select the following option "7 - zip -> Extract here". Now you can find your .img file in the extracted location.

For rebooting your xperia device to recovery, First turn off the device, and then turn it on while repeatedly pressing the Volume up button until the recovery mode appears. I'm not sure about what kind of permissions you are talking about. Feel free to ask any doubts.

When I turn off and after turn on with pressing Volume UP my Xperia run normally, like just pressed only power button.
thank you for time and patience!

Sorry, but I`m not understand anything, because, for install Busybox, or clockwordmod I need to be rooted my device, but for root I need to be recovery?! last year I rooted my other phone, Xperia S and I not have this complication. So. Let´s see.
I make the flashtool steps, now for recovery I need to have intall de clockwordmod, but for recover or for appears the blue light I need to do like the link you send. Right, for make that steps I need to be rooted.
sorry I´m can´t understand. It is not verry complicated system, but I don´t know where or why I can´t.
thank you for time and patience...
You are great guys.

For having a custom recovery mode, your phone doesn't need to be rooted. For Recovery, flash the
"Advance_stock_kernel_for_KK_10.5.A.0.283" image file given in the main thread. Using "Flash tool by Androxyde" (Check main thread).
The screenshots for installation are given in main thread. After installing the recovery, Proceed with the rooting process.
If you can't follow the above method, try this method.
does this method work with build number 10.5.1.A.0.292?

After a year of hard work, @steadfasterX has finally unlocked our device! Hopefully we'll get some new roms soon. Full thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Edit: We are currently able to run any custom rom for H811 on our device! One thing is that we must do the modem flash in TWRP that steadfaster mentions in his FAQ.
Edit 2: Currently only stock Lollipop or stock Marshmallow will run on VS986 with everything working. AOSCP and other custom roms will boot but you will not pull the correct APN for Verizon and therefore will have data but no cell service including MMS or voice calls. You must have the stock MM bootloader stack flashed after you go through the UsU process for everything to work correctly and the stock MM modem.
@fates13,
I know you're trying to get Nougat working on your VS986 and it's not 100% working yet.
I suggest people wait until you get things resolved if they rely on their VS986 as their daily phone.
Please post an update here once you think everything is working. The other thread has a lot of posts since it covers other G4 models too.
Thank you
@fates13,
Were you able to get your VS986 to the point of everything worked after UsU unlock and ROM installation?

Yes but only stock MM works properly with data and cell. This can probably be fixed by a proper rom developer for our phone. Advanced calling also doesn't work properly so just waiting until @steadfasterX has time to make a UsU patched kernel for stock MM.

Are you able to boot to twrp.
If your still stuck on boot.img go to your salt back ups is located in the home folder and right click in the folder and click open in terminal put your phone in fastboot mode type in terminal "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that "fastboot reboot" and see if your phone boots up if you don't have the salt backup let me know

How exactly did you install TWRP? Or if you solely used magisk, how did you flash the patched_boot.img?
I was asking you about TWRP to see if you installed it. You flash all the files in fastboot. You get into fastboot by unplugging the battery wait 4 seconds plug it back in hold volume down and plug your phone in to your computer you should be in fastboot mode. You can download TWRP from the unlock Page. I will upload the pach boot.img and paste the link for TWRP later because I'm not at my computer right now. Be careful NOT to flash the aboot.img you should only flash the boot.img (once I upload it) and the recovery.img right now

Ah, different person than you were talking to before. The way I read your post, it sounded like maybe you figured out a way to sideload (if that is the correct term) the patched boot image that magisk makes without the part of the UsU method that causes "Once you go this way - there is no way back! SERIOUSLY. The only way to make the device exactly like before is replacing the mainboard. If you're scared: good." Maybe something like this: ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Was just looking into my options for if I should wait until a method comes out that doesn't make a permanent alteration or if I should just go ahead and take the plunge with UsU. Your thoughts on whether that change that is made could affect me badly in the long run?

sorry about that the only way to root the latest FW is to unlock the bootloader. as long as you flow the guide and read carefully you shud be fine and if it's too scary just downgraded to LP and root that way (look on xda Verizon G4 general tab)
Has any one got calling and texting working on any costum rom for vs986?
Probably a dumb question, but I'm on 13b rooted. I read through the unlock thread and it mentions MM is required and anti rollback <=2. My ARB value is currently 2. Can I just use LGUP to flash stock MM? Will this preserve my ARB value?
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone using the first method (flashing patched boot on A and B).
The problem is that magisk disappeared from my phone and i was wondering how can i remove root and have the original firmware again.
I am currently on the august patch.
You can check @BubuXP's reply here it might help you out.
Solved?

I flashed original boot img but OTA still doesn't apply.
The only solution might be to flash stock rom 9.4.0 (July) using MI flash tool but i'm afraid that It isn't possible to do it
Installed org boot with A/B?
Did u modify system partition? Like build.prop OR something?
If nothing works you must try using MI Flash tool with the stock ROM

Do you think flashing an older version 9.4 causes problems ?
Now i'm running on version 9.6

I would like to keep data
Connect the Phone to the pc via USB in the flash tool must say "refresh" once you click refresh must apear your device with de adb/fastboot id. Then click select, choose the folder you've downloadwd, then click flash. Now wait until the flash tool says "flashed".
After that your Phone must have stock ROM ready for OTA. If you want to keep magisk i'll recomend you to follow BubuXp guide to install magisk with proper support for OTA's

Thank you very much, i will do it tomorrow.
One lady question, i saw that the rom is 9.4 while my device is running 9.6.
Is this a problem ?
There's no problem it will flash everything a leave the device with stock ROM, i recomend you to use the first way, you will lose the data, but I think is better, anyway i think both methods will lock the bootloader, so anyway you will lose the data, make backup and If u need something tell me.
Good luck, LB
