[FTF][OLD Nougat][32.4.A.0.160] E6603/33/53/83 Google Drive + Patched Kernels

[sceryavuz]

Hi xda users,
I am very pleased to present VERY OLD NOUGAT FTFs Google Drive Mirror + Patched Kernels.

I spend lots of time and bandwidth for you, so please hit Thanks :fingers-crossed: button and comment below..

Read First
This in NOT Backup TA Partition or Bootloader Unlock thread.
FTFs on this thread are original STOCK rom files.
If your device BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, you can use Patched Kernel if you want.
If your device BOOTLOADER LOCKED, you can NOT use Patched Kernel.
You do NOT have to USE patched kernel, just flash FTF. Use like a stock ROM.
I build Patched Kernels for ROOT, TWRP, MAGISK users.

:fingers-crossed:

after installing the update, when I try to install TWRP I type "adb devices" into PowerShell and my device doesn't show up. Any ideas?

"adb devices" only works when device power-up and you must give the usb debugging permission under developer settings.

you should try "fastboot devices" into fastboot mode.

I'm dumb, I have already flashed the bootimg and TWRP but I didnt know how to enter recovery since in the older version you were supposed to press the volume down after the Sony logo appeared. All done now, HUGE THANKS!

Maybe tools you used are incompatible with 7.1.1?

Did you tried Fulmics Deodexer or Tickle My Android?

Because of my comapny's MDM I need a patched E6653 kernel but without root,twrp, phh,busybox
Only this:
DM-Verity disabled
Sony RIC disabled
DRM fix installed
Unfortunately MDM software detects su and busybox binaries and set OS as compromised.
Thanks!

Anyone having sound issues? Like being louder than usual and overvolumed. This happened last night when I was chatting on whatsapp when suddenly the sounds were clearly over the limit. A restart fixed it.. for now.
