This thread has been for a while, but here's mine anyways ... still rocking V40 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32920528142.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d249Swn Super cheap, 3 or 4 times slipped from my hand and falls pretty hard, yet still survives without any damage. The case protrudes a...

My VS995 sensors are all not working as if it doesn't exist. And my camera too. Do I miss any important step here or do I need to copy all of those stock hw files on /system/bin/hw/ ? EDIT: nevermind ... both camera and all the sensors are actually working perfectly now.

To update the TWRP, simply just boot into bootloader mode (I assume you already know how to :)), open terminal and type in fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (or whatever the .img file name is) TWRP 3.2.1-0 for V20: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-0-0-t3714539...

Mine boots like normal, but the screen is completely blocked by some kind of long horizontal bars across the screen. I can tap on the screen, on the Setup Wizard of course. But these bars still there. Tho it's still possible to go back to LGUP or LGFlashTool to reflash everything back to the...

Woa ? ok... Thank you Is there any way to install LGBackup on lineage OS?

I don't know why, but my screen now looks shorter. Installed the LineageOS with 2nd screen & this kernel. Does this support verizon variant already? imgur.com/a/yEXUD6f

Open Phone app and type *#06#. See if your IMEI shows up. Otherwise try LineageOS https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B51rjK5Hd_P5NmpwY1o4VmlyaUk And the Gamma kernel for second screen https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78599929&postcount=750

Ah I see .. thank you :) I will try Lineage then. ---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ---------- Even though there's clear steps, usually it is not that easy to the newbies. I mean what's wrong with asking? That is the purpose of a "forum" anyway ...

To be honest with you, I still want to keep the second screen, because I use it most of the time :laugh:, usually for screen capturing or just a quick launch of my frequently used apps. I want a custom ROM only if any of them can support the second screen, otherwise I might be forcing myself to...

My VS995 still failing at 4%. I once saw my internal storage's name on TWRP mount "US996" Edit: ... Nevermind ... LGUP flashing just saved the day

How do I install new ROM? Is it possible to install KDZ roms from TWRP? And won't it remove the ds exploit if I just flash the latest one?

I have the VS995, downgraded to Nougat 12A (before the DS exploit patch), and followed the steps. Now it doesn't seem to finish the boot process at all & I'm stuck at the loading screen. Flashed the boot2 image and still no success. Edit 2: I've managed to boot into TWRP and flashed Magisk, but...

VS995 already got the update 1 or 2 days ago, still it is too late already

Hi, I found (with hard effort, kinda, cus it kept popping up) that in App info there is two of them, Second Screen provider & Second Screen settings. Tried to quickly force close & clear data both of them but the Second Screen is crashing still. Plus, I don't want to factory reset.

is DRM keys in LG works the same as the Xperia devices? I'm talking about the stock functionalities that requires the original DRM key

Of course, I'm asking how to backup that key while I'm still locked

Is there any way to backup the DRM keys yet? I don't want to lose any kinds of DRM features possible (If that's the case since I haven't tried it yet).

My bootloader cannot be officially unlocked, but I can access flashmode and fastboot mode (and the SIM is already unlocked), I once flashed the customized noba stock ROM for my Z5 SOV32, since it was packed with many of the Japanese Xperia bloatwares So can I still be able to unlock it?

Is the "my Xperia" app safe to be uninstalled?

So sad that SOV32 forced the Bootloader to be locked, gonna sell this phone asap and get XZ...

What a bummer... I may likely to RMA or sell this phone and go for XZ, the global version ofc

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/bootloader-unlock-allowed-able-to-boot-t3715524 So, in the end, I decided to flash the customized E6653 NOBA ROM for my Z5 Later, I was thinking... if I can go to the Flashmode & Fastboot mode, can I continue to unlock the bootloader, even though...

I have SOV32 and the Bootloader is not unlockable, but I can go into fastboot / flashmode. Is it possible to flash TWRP

Thanks, just to make sure first before doing anything to it, and indeed it works flawlessly

Just as the title says... I have Xperia Z5 SOV32 It has Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, but somehow I can go into fastboot mode Some people said that they cannot get into fastboot mode since they can't unlock their bootloader If I continued to flash a stock (or a region customized stock) FTF...

I also have SOV32, did yours says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes"? If so, how? Because I'm pretty much stuck with a locked bootloader and non-rootable Z5

Since AU modified the device, the model number is not really E6653 anymore, but it probably be possible if you flash the global rom. What about following this thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904 Is it bootloader unlock allowed?

Is there such a way that I can set the Bootloader Unlock Allowed to yes by myself?

Is Xperia Z4 (The non tablet one) and Xperia Z3+ the same phone? Cus the Z4 doesn't even get MM update... I want Nougat already

In my opinion, it has to be LineageOS, it's predecessor was CyanogenMod, and I already used CM since Android ICS was still new, but since there is no official CM ROM for Z3, RR is currently the better option

The thing is that when you got a phone that says No for Bootloader Unlock Allowed... :eek:

Does this will be applicable to the X Performance too?

Is it possible to flash a custom ROM with this TWRP on LB?

Okay, thanks Just to make sure :) Since my ZF5 really has had it's day... (Many things got damaged like the camera, emmc chip, and etc...), I decided to buy the Z3 and currently in shipping :p

Do both GPS and NFC are working?

Okay then, thanks :)

Will this method work for Docomo / AU / SoftBank Xperias? I'm still in deciding of either buying those Xperia Z3+ Docomo (or AU) and what I know is that japan phones are mostly forced LB

Does the GPS work?

Does the GPS work?

oh... by the way, flashing the root add-on doesn't work for me, still no root Try to clean-up or wipe your internal storage first, and move some of non-system data to your microsd

Still not really a total pain for me anyway, since I still have M5 and Z2 with me

Is there still an on-going fix for the GPS? I honestly can't wait for it and especially for your Oreo 8.0 update :good::good:

Good to know... :) I've never tried Magisk tho, but I might try that soon :p

Here u go ;) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/general/flashtool-0-9-23-2-t3550026/post72209975#post72209975

Yes, I've managed to root and restore the original DRM keys, you can take a look at my screenshots in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/general/flashtool-0-9-23-2-t3550026/post71892673#post71892673

Here are the steps (More details from step 1 to 6 are available on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/development/kernel-stock-marshmallow-kernel-root-t3453072/post68483911#post68483911) 1. Downgrade to Lollipop 2. Backup TA partition on Lollipop 3. Unlock bootloader 4...

ok I flashed the recovery but it seems that I can't go to the recovery itself, i tried it with a reboot app too (BootDroid) but no it just skips and goes to normal boot rightaway nevermind, it seems to work only with the manual method

OK, now at last I've successfully managed to restore my DRM keys, and root it with the kernel fix :D

The thing is about Xperia M5 is the enabled dm-verity, if you modify a single bit of it it will refuse to boot, which will ended up hard-bricked (You will see a RED Led constantly turns on, when you charge the phone, on the top left corner. No success of trying all the methods and combinations...

This is "quite" an old thread but nevertheless.... TRXTeam did a Nougat ROM Porting for the Xperia M5, variants are unknown until now since the thread has been closed Here is the original thread...
