I really doubt anyone would port the already-dead Windows Mobile 6.5 to an Android Sony Xperia device, let alone the Xperia M.
Memory stuff/swap/tutorials are available throughout the forums, use the search function please.
Hello friends ... I need a help from you in order to understand where I can be changing the ID of my phone. I have an Xperia ZQ (I'm Brazilian) and the last ROM's, he became identified as Xperia ZL. This does not alter the functioning of the cell, being more a cosmetic issue than a relative necessity, but even so, I wonder if I can again change this ID to Xperia ZQ and if possible, teach me how. I've looked at the build.prop file and could not find this identification. Hugs!

Thanks..

There are enough guides already, if you struggle with the existing ones you're not reading them properly.

No professional qualification required, just a little common sense and some grey matter should suffice.

Hi there,
did someone manage to root his phone, with camera etc working ? And how (Kingroot, OneClickRoot, other) ?
Cheers
I did come across this, but am too hesitant to try it myself first lol. Since I can't post links yet try a google search for "genkes How To Root Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Without PC" and it should be the top link
Please be aware before attempting to root your XZ2c. Usually with Sony phones, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first, which will erase your unique DRM keys, which will decrease the usability of certain Sony-specific functionality, such as color-enhancements and camera, which may become totally useless (until a work-around is found).
I'm not saying it's definitely the case with this phone, but I cannot imagine otherwise.

That tutorial use KingRoot/KingoRoot. I would think twice before using a closed source Chinese app that gains access to your system.
does anyone knows a solution for pie ?

Please look into the twrp thread.
somebody knows the procedure to take root permission on xz2c?
thanks
As far as I'm aware, it's not yet possible without losing DRM. You lose DRM, no more access to Sony apps including camera.
It's currently a case of hurry up and wait until someone figures it out
usually how long does it take?
Good evening, I proceeded to unlock the bootloader now I'm without a camera (whatsapp web I can not use it ....)
can the xz2 root procedure be applied to the xz2 compact ???
Thanks and good things to everyone
@mark788 no idea. I'm not a dev so don't understand all the intricacies in it. Seems like there aren't many, if any, devs using this phone so we may never be able to properly root or flash this phone. Sony have released the AOSP code but that still needs dev input.
@deep66it pretty sure you're stuck now. Once the DRM keys are broken, there isn't a way to restore them at present. Hopefully someone else can chime in and correct me.

Unfortunately you had to reed the forum before unlocking the bootloader. The camera broken question was approached... Loss of drm keys and TA partition is a known problem about Sony phones.
Now you have to wait that someone find a drm fix to use your camera again.
Otherwise you can try to install AOSP build if you are motivated : https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/
I will be more optimistic than whiteduck89 about this phone. Xz2 Compact is recognized as a good phone and it will take place like the Z3 Compact in the smartphone world (Z5 Compact get drm fix, TA partition restoration, LineageOs,... and it was not so brilliant).
Sure we have to wait 6 month or one year until this all will be done.

Why so much time for a custom ROM? And also, any safe way to root? To me it's important for backup and many other things.

Regarding root only, as long as you unlock the bootloader of your device (agreeing to the terms of sony): do this, and you're done!
And with this procedure I have no problems? all the programs like the camera etc. work good?

Ofc not, you'll get root only! Root itself won't fix unlocking bootloader related issues, but maybe drmfix!!
Can i ask you When a simple procedure or toolkit will be disclosed to safely run the root? Thank you
you can ask but no-one can reply your question of course.. don't have the crystal ball with me atm
