Hi all
Just got my new Sony Xperia Z5 Premium today
I am wondering if there are any ways to root this phone as the DPI is pretty large for my liking and if there will be Cyanogenmod for it in the near future ?
Thanks
You can change DPI without root using ADB.

Just got mine today as well, and coming from the z ultra..... We really need all of it's 5.5 inches. I adjusted the settings on mine, font size and app size both set to small helps the terribly large dpi. Inside "display" with In settings, and long press on home screen for icon/app size.
Ok so the only way I can root and install recovery is using ADB to root ?

This is not about rooting, it's about security and malware!!!
Will they ever release Cyanogenmod for the sony xperia z5 Premium ?

And what do we need to root on a locked bootloader? Security holes. It's an interesting issue, but I doubt it can be used to gain root on the most recent firmwares (with dm-verity and such).

I can't imagine it not getting CM13...Sony let's you unlock the bootloader and also released binaries for AOSP support...developers should have AOSP based ROMS for this phone in no time...personally, I'm going to use Sony's stock ROM for a few months before unlocking it.
So I got my device and unlocked the bootloader. Now PC Companion refuses to update and when trying to register for Emma it claims to have sent a confirmation e-mail, yet I've never received it. No matter how many times I try.
Please somebody ease my pain and tell there's a way to at least root this now?

No chance that they will find a root for this FW at all?
I had to send my phone in for repairs. And they upgraded it to the latest version, even after I specifically asked not to update it
I just bought a second hand SO-02E that's already on the 343 update. I love the phone but I want to have root capabilities for various apps, is there no way to downgrade te firmware? This is my first Sony smartphone and apparently only Samsung phones can be easily downgraded.

Even if they find it, I think they'll hide them until the 4.2 update.

I'm sure it can but I don't see why you'd want to - the 10.1.D.0.343 is full of docomo bloatware. You'd be better off w/10.1.1.A.1.307.

It was through PCC mate. I had my tablet connected this morning with no update, so it's obviously only been out for an hour or so.
Just installed, and I'm actually rather enjoying it! Alot better than what screenshots have shown.

Thanks. I'll try Emma again soon. Ironic really - Emma is a Sony developer tool which is meant to give updates a bit sooner than the usual methods
For those of us that are on Cyanogen, is there any way of finding out if the FTF has any important firmware updates in there?
I can rename the .370 FTF to ZIP and see all the sin files, but the vast majority I am unsure about.
Otherwise, I can always nandroid and do it that way

Relock your BL or wait for a ftf.
The problem is not using a custom rom and update with pcc (the rom doesn't matter but the kernel yes), it's when your bl is unlocked you can't update via SUS/PCC no more.

Once the FTF is out and about is there a way of knowing what we need to flash (and perhaps how) to not affect our existing custom setup?

When you flash a ftf file with flashtool, deselect DATA in the wipe section (box in top right corner). That will preserve your data when you flash.

Ok, sounds like a good compromise
When someone uses PCC to download the firmware, is a local copy stored?
Just wondering what the chances of getting this file are!
I like everything is this update, except the recent apps tray. Swiping away should always be 'swipe across' not 'swipe up or down'.
Few new features might have been nice, but can't complain. At least it's arrived!
It also has the thumb keyboard!

Make sure you read the service information of the update and make sure it says 10.3.1.C.0.136. If it doesn't then its not 4.2.2.

What if we made a collection, for example, $0.5 times to 100 people for DooMLoRD that he did Easy Root toolkit for firmware 201 I do not know if that's true, but I read that DooMLoRD ended development Xperia SP. So this could be a kind of motivation for the recovery of the partial support of this model.
Maybe $0.5 is small, maybe $1 will be better. Everything is about discussion.

Since this is the last Official firmware update for SP, confirmed by Sony, I don't know why/if DooM has said he won't support the SP anymore. I'm sure he can acquire the necessary files easily enough and get a fix out. How long did it take him to do the last one?
Confirmed?
The development of a rooting toolkit doesn't depend on how much money is put on the table but rather if there is a vulnerability in the .201 kernel that can be exploited to gain root access.

Guys, Sony has NOT confirmed anything about future updates or end of life status..
Well, they have sort of: unfortunately that post on that french forum was made on april 1st so there is no confirmation if this was either a joke or if it was real
Guys,
Doomlord has stated on his twitter that there will be no Rooting methode for 4.3 (201 build).. This is because Sony has patched older exploits and according to Doomlord there is no exploit in the kernel whatsoever that can be used to root the device.
So you can collect all you want but without an exploit it is just not possible..

They're not bringing 4.4 KitKat to SP, that tells me that they don't plan on updating the device further. We might get 4.3 patches, but nothing else.

Actually I think 4.4 will not come from Sony for SP, but still is not confirmed, until that, would be nice not confuse ppl about that
Why would you need to collect for doomlord?.
he already had this device a collection was made and he got it hence why we have root available in the first place

RLY? Xperiablog is not a official site from Sony (as u can read at the bottom of the site), actually, a lot of post from their web redirect here to XDA.....
And nobody knows who is that guy that post that thing (actually, I just remembered, I see that post first here then Xperiablog).... not to mention was posted on 1st april, and is not an official announcement
If I'm serious, I think Sony will no give us 4.4.... but still is not confirmed, so NO
Okay two things:
1: Sony has noting confirmed on their OWN blog! XperiaBlog is one made by fans!
2: For discussion about wheter we get the update or not: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516663
Another pointless thread.
So your all complaining that the latest firmware is laggy and still has issues, why do you expect that there will be another firmware?
You all moaned tirelessly "When is 4.3 coming out?" now you have it and its no good.
And now you want to root the crappy buggy firmware, and you MUST HAVE 4.4 on your sp!!!
I have stayed on 4.1.2 rooted it and put up with crappy wifi signals
I WILL NOT be buying another Sony mobile as they are no good at maintaining their phones firmware wise.
Every Sony firmware has bugs, and I for one am fed up with it
but downgrading and then upgrading is time consuming...you may have good internet connection but not everyone has it!! ONLY IF there was an availble tool to root .201 fw directly then it would be great for all the non rooted and LB xsp usrs

There isnt any exploit so you cant do this other way. Make this with downgrading... or... Unlock BL - simple.

Well as you can see, many Zenfone 2 Intel users are frustated for the delayed response of just a simple update(i meant MM Final), that already has been using by many other 2014 Smartphone variants since May(eg: Galaxy S5, Xperia Z3).
I'll be lying if i say i'm not waiting for MM update. but when i think that i had this phone for 15 months and or works really fine with lollipop and i know for a fact that they will release MM for it i know for sure that I'll keep using out for another year.

Hi,
I have my Zenfone 2 rooted, with xposed installed and bootloader unlocked with TWRP (3.0) installed. I know that I have to uninstall xposed framework, and root, but I never had my bootloader unlocked with stock ROM, and I'd like to update. I can't seem to find an answer in the forum, so I'm asking here. Will it work directly from the notification if xposed and root are removed ? If not can i sideload it from adb into the twrp adb sideload ? If not can I just fastboot flash the recovery to be able to install it ? I don't really need to be unlocked on this phone anymore but I don't want to flash the raw firmware, because it's going to take a long time to reinstall everything and set everything up properly. So how am I supposed to do it ? Thanks

It's weird. I am rooted and I took the OTA update. It gave an error when installing but it said it reverted to original configuration. Now when I check for updates, it shows no updates and I am still on 184. How can I take the OTA update again? I don't see the OTA update in the /cache folder either. Thank you.

I read that i needed to edit the script file for TWRP to install it, do I still have to do it ? Thanks for the answer

So, I bought my X compact 5 days ago and it was on Android 6. The sound output was simply amazingand the volume really, really high. I decided to install all the OTA updates and now the volume has been reduced noticeably. Is there anyone else who has noticed it? Any solutions to it?
Thanks in advance.
I bought my XC last week that came with marshmallow and then I updated to Nougat. I can't say I experienced the same problem. It was always kind of meh.

Well there isn't and probably never will be again as security gets tighter and tighter.

Then, can you please give me a site where I can search for the latest Marshmallow available, since PTCRB hasn't listed the X Compact's firmwares? Thanks for replying!

Here is my personal .198 ftf, it took me a few days of searching on the web to find this one when I bought mine. Xposed is more than worth it to be on MM anyways.

XperiFirm still hosts a MM .198.ftf knowing that we need it, or see the post by kekistaneerefugee.

Depends on your skill set and willingness to learn how to mod one apk to do what you need multiple modules to do, and how concerned with security you are.

Thank you both guys. Two last guestions. Is .198 the latest Marshmallow (before our phone upgraded to Android 7). Also, when I dial the code for secret menu,under software info, the Active Customization number is my SI, right?

Mine is 1304-8441_R3D. I'm not sure if it was the last one, I only used it in order to be able to backup my TA partition then unlocked my BL, used POC to create a kernel that uses my TA partition to restore DRM functionality. Then I flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and used SuperSU to root.

And you're on Marshmallow now?
I'm just not feeling like going for Marshmallow due to a bug at 7.1.1, since our devices will get more updates as the time goes by, which means there are chances we're seeing it fixed.

No, I'm using the latest 7.1.1, .228 rooted Nougat. When I come to sell my X Compact in the next week or so when the XZ1 Compact drops I'll downgrade to MM again to unroot and relock my BL then update back to N.

You're the boss haha. I'm afraid to void my warranty for now. I'll just wait for Android 8 to make my volume output good again. In case it doesn't I'll give Marshmallow a try

Ha, I'm just experienced with Xperias. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, Arc, Ray, Sony Xperia Z, Z1 Compact, Z3 Tablet, X Compact, everyone rooted or had it's bootloader unlocked and never had an issue with any that required a warranty repair.
Not saying it can't happen as I have seen a few instances over the years when others have had to, but it's a small percentage and doesn't warrant being so overly cautious during, imo of course.

Always happy to try and help. I don't use the headphones at all but the speaker volume was an issue before I increased the mixerpaths xml, it's perfect now though.

I'm on the opposite side of you. I mostly use my headphones and I'm just fine with the speaker's volume.
