- August Security patch

According to a commenter on xperiablog.net this is the changelog
- The latest security enhancements included
- All of our latest bug fixes and improvements
- Audio volume enhanced in notifications and ringtones
- Improved handling of Bluetooth connected devices

I'm waiting for OTA.

I would like to fix the battery drain!

"- Improved handling of Bluetooth connected devices"
let's hope they get it right this time.

I'd be curious to see if they backed out the travesty of a battery usage chart introduced last time.

RU firmware have a big icon 4G or default icon?

I just downloaded it via XperiFIRM and then flashed via flashtool.
works nice, no major improvement so far !!
- new boot delivery
- New Kernel module (can be repacked with SuperSU, but not TWRP )
- old camera, no improvement.
- sometimes shows "fingerprint hardware not available" error
- Antutu score - 56048 (bench marked right after full wipe flash)
- kinda slow to start heating (maybe improvement via sacrificing performance )
- thats about it, I did not have time for much jerking around with it as Z5 DSDS is my daily driver.
Please share if anything else is there ................

Which security patch is implemented?

Well, I had some time to play with it a bit more yesterday !!! Here is what happened .....................................
- There was a consistent bug of sudden boot failure with 3 red light blink just after or during the boor process with the previous .253 firmware when used with stock kernel patched with SuperSU and Xposed FX is installed.
- It was not a big issue but certainly made me annoyed.
- As rootkernel v 5.0 doesnt support the latest .305 kernel for patching , I had to do some "renaming" of the kmmodule folder in order for it to recognize the new kernel version.
- As i suspected it worked flawlessly, Patched with superSU, RIC-OFF, DM-Veraty-OFF, BusyBOX Installed , DRM Fix installed (and worked fine after TA flashed) and TWRP .
- then i flashed the Xposed v 86 from TWRP and did all kind of stuffs with it.
- Installed all the modules I used to run , teaks and stuffs
- It never restarted once, nor it perform boot-loops of any kind. Like it was a perfect kernel.
- Then I was really impressed and as the firmware was full with bloatwares and odexed I thought what if I could run my backed up .253 with this new kernel.
- I thought right and it ran properly with all its functions but one, FINGERPRINT
- The error was "fingerprint hardware not available"
- I did every possible combination with it, but nothing fixed it.
- Then after some more combination of flashing stock FTFs , reflashing kernels and patches I gave up and fall back to my backed up .253 deodexed.
I hope you guys will find this helpful in some way or another

- Download rootkernel_v_5.0 from XDA (if you already know where to get it then good, if dont then google it )
- Extract it within a folder in C drive
- Download latest SuperSU flashable (google it also if you dont have it already)
- Rename the SuperSU.zip file to exactly SuperSU.zip and put it in the the folder (the rootkernel 5.0 extracted folder that is)
- Extract the kernel.sin from .305 FTF via 7zip or something
- Use flashtool's SIN editor to extract the kernel.elf file from the kernel.sin.
- Copy the ELF file to the rootkernel folder
- now go to "C:\rootkernel_v5.0\Android\twrp_common_kmodules" folder (rootkernel_v5.0 is in my PC, so it will be what ever you named it before)
- You will find different folder with the different names and versions of kernels there.
- Copy the "3.10.84-perf-gf1cfa5f" folder and paste it right there and rename it to "3.10.84-perf-gf38969a"
- Run rootkernel as it was meant to be run (you can find proper instructions from where you downloaded it in the first place)
- You will end up with a patched .305 kernel and you can use it flawlessly with your .305 firmware also.
- Remember just do not integrate the Xposed FX ZIP file into the kernel, it will render the kernel unbootable.
- You can always flash XposedFX from TWRP from the next reboot.
HAVE FUN !!!

[ROM] (Almost) Stock Debloated 10.1.1.A.1.307 CWM ZIP LB v8

This is the ROM i use myself, but I post it here in case other people also want a clean (almost) stock ROM with root and recovery. It works for me, but I provide no guarantee that it will work for you. That said, these ZIP files and procedures have been tested by myself and a few others and seem to work quite well.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Requirements:
Sony Xperia Z.
Only tested on LB, but should also work on UB.
Ability to flash ZIP files via recovery.
Features:
Based on Xperia Z_10.1.1.A.1.307_Unbranded BE.ftf (file uploaded by Psicao).
Removed bloat and other apps you can download from Google Play.
Installed CWM recovery 6.0.2.8 for locked bootloaders v4.
Odexed and zipaligned.
No reboots when mounting system r/w.
Pre-rooted with Koush's Superuser App.
Busybox v1.20.2 installed.
Call recording.
18 Toggles.
36 dpi softkeys.
Changelog:
v8
Added 18 Toggles.
Switched to 36 dpi softkeys.
v7
Added WeatherWidget back due to popular demand.
More robust and less intrusive way to ensure that mounting system r/w doesn't cause a reboot.
v6
Based on 10.1.1.A.1.307
Removed 18 Toggles since it is not compatible with 1.307 yet.
Delete the ric daemon early in the boot process.
v5
Added 18 Toggles.
Applied a few WiFi tweaks to get a (hopefully) more stable WiFi connection.
v4
Removed duplicate notification sound 'vega' (bug in original ROM).
Increased volume a bit.
v3
Created all symlinks found in the original FTF file.
Changed all file and directory permissions to match those in the original FTF file.
Added a more robust script to stop ric.
v2
Fixed reboot issue when mounting system r/w.
Added Notes and NoteWidget back.
Reodexed and zipaligned.
v1
Initial release.
Installation:
Enter recovery.
Flash C6603_10.1.1.A.1.307_DEBLOAT.zip.
Clear user data OPTIONAL STEP - SEE BELOW.
Reboot.
Reboot again once NFC firmware has been upgraded (only needed if upgrading from 1.434 or earlier).
Note regarding unlocked bootloaders: This ROM is designed for LB. If using this on UB flash the following ZIP after installation to remove the CWM recovery for LB: C6603_10.1.1.A.1.307_UBPATCH.zip
Clear data?
If NFC is not working and you're upgrading from a 1.434 ROM, I recommend that you clear your userdata by flashing C6603_10.1.1.A.1.307_ClearData.zip.
You do NOT need to clear user data if you are already running a ROM based on 1.253 or 1.307 and everything is working fine.
MD5 hashes:
2f8fe013da90987447a04c0e5f405998 (C6603_10.1.1.A.1.253_DEBLOAT.zip)
3bba6ffb3cd9bdf7535c5e4b722223d5 (C6603_10.1.1.A.1.253_ClearData.zip)
b889d474290d9b924acbf011277d58e3 (C6603_10.1.1.A.1.307_UBPATCH.zip)
Upgrade kernel and baseband:
Once the ROM is working you might want to flash kernel and baseband from the original FTF via Flashtool in order to get the full 1.307 experience.
Preventing reboots when mounting /system read-write
This ROM uses my own little utility called RICHunter to prevent reboots when mounting /system read-write. If you want to use it yourself in your own ROM you can download it here:
0c766dc58cc909693f5d669264d78f4a (richunter.zip)
Included in the ZIP file is a README.txt that explains how to use it, but you can also read it here:
RICHunter by Carceri @ XDA
1. What is this?
On the Xperia Z Sony have added a small program called ric which
monitors mount options on filesystems and reboots the system if
they deviate from their default values. This causes the system
to reboot e.g. when the /system partition is mounted read-write.
In short, this programs stops this daemon and replaces it with a
dummy version that doesn't do anything, thereby disabling ric.
2. How do I use it?
Just put the file richunter somewhere on your system, for example
/system/bin/richunter, make it executable (chmod 755) and run it
as the root user. This needs to be done every time the system is
restarted.
This can be achieved by putting the following lines in a file
called /system/etc/install-recovery.sh:
#!/system/bin/sh
exec /system/bin/richunter
Another way is to make a wrapper to /system/bin/ctrlaltdel and
call richunter from there:
#!/system/bin/sh
exec /system/bin/richunter
exec /system/bin/toolbox ctrlaltdel "${1}" "${2}" "${3}" "${4}"
Choose either one, or a 3rd solution to automatically run it.
Remember to make the files executable.
3. How does it work?
On the latest kernel, the ric daemon is restarted whenever it
is killed. Therefore the following steps are taken by this
program to stop it without giving it time to reboot the system:
1) The programs runs as a daemon waiting for up to 60 seconds
for ric to start.
2) It detects which CPU ric was last scheduled on, and forces
ric to always run on that CPU in the future.
3) It forces itself to run on the same CPU as ric and sets its
scheduling priority to real-time. This prevents anything
in that CPU from running, including ric.
4) It mounts the rootfs read-write and replaces ric with a
dummy version that just sleeps forever. Finally it kills
the ric process and remounts rootfs read-only.
5) The daemon now exits. When ric is restarted the dummy
version is started instead.
4. What about unlocked bootloaders and custom kernels?
On custom kernels ric has either been removed or not installed
at all. Therefore this is only needed on locked bootloaders.
5. Can I use it in my own ROM?
Sure. Use it as you want.
6. How do I compile it?
You need to have the Android NDK installed. Then set the
correct paths in the included Makefile and run:
1) make prep
2) make
That's it. When you want to recompile you can skip step 1).
7. What license is this released under?
It is UNLICENSED software. See http://unlicense.org/
Hi, i have not tested this exact zip, but the rom i am using now is based on a previous version you posted in another thread.
There is a little issue with your "debloating", you removed "Notes" app, so when you go to "small apps" drawer and choose notes or voice recording, an error pops out, so you have to remove the icons and forget about stock notes or voice recording as they are apps not available on the market to download separately.
As i said, this happens on the first zip you uploaded, i don't know if this was already solved on newer versions.
If NFC is not working, there is still hope to keep user data intact, just delete /data/usf on your phone, take usf folder from your userdata.tar, and put it in your phone in the same place where the older was with same permissions. This step could also be added to the main flash script, no user data is lost and i think all NFC related problems would be gone
Thanks for sharing your work.

That was actually the first thing I tried and it didn't work for me. It might work for some and if someone is interested I'll be happy to provide a zip file that just restores this directory and keeps everything else under /data intact.

Possibly reboot a second time once NFC firmware has been upgraded.
I had problems with NFC not working if I didn't clear user data the first time I upgraded from a version < 1.253. In order to clear user data follow this step:
Flash C6603_10.1.1.A.1.253_ClearData.zip.
These ZIP files and procedures have been tested by myself and a few others and seem to work. However, some people have also experienced issues, but since I don't know their exact setup it is impossible for me to pinpoint the source of these errors. FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

hello I used your guide and everything works to perfection thanks:laugh:, I invite other people to use this guide to those who want to update your phone with the root installed.:good:
ps. sorry if I use a translator.
ciao ho usato la tua guida e funziona tutto alla perfezzione grazie, invito altri utenti ad usare questa guida per chi vuole aggiornare il telefono con il root installato.
Great, this is the first one deodexed and zipaligned, i am sure a lot of people will be interested.
EDIT: Ok, i didn't read well, it says Re-Odexed
Sorry, i'm a little confused, is this rom odexed or deodexed?

I don't think so. Is that feature available on a normal Xperia Z stock ROM?
I think that the original Gallery app installs the required sync adapter. Also if you have Google+ installed it is replaced by Photo Sync.

[Utility] Android boot Manager APK

Android Boot Manager (ABM), my goal is to make the procedure (Backup, Unpack, Edit, Repack and Flashe boot.img or recovery.img) so easy and accessible to all users without resorting to the command prompt , only a single click to get a quick and successful outcome at the same time .
This is the third version of the program.
Source (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/aToxyD/android_boot_image_manager_apk).
WHAT'S NEW
- Some optimization.
- Add new Text Editor with high syntax.
THANKS
* xiaolu, original author of boot.img tool(GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools).
* Modding.MyMind, for his heavily modification of boot.img tool.
* Tah Wei Hoon, for TextWarrior.
* Dmytro Tarianyk, for Android Floating Action Button.
* Anthony Restaino, for Grant.
IMPORTANT
- Root is only necessary for Unpacking boot patched by "superSu or Magisk" and Backup/Flash Operations, so if you want to unpack stock boot or you have your favorite flasher apk like "Rachr", if so you dont need to check "Root Access" in settings menu.
- Please uninstall any previous version of ABM before installing the newer.
I do not like people to coming here and take what they wanted and leave like a thief , at least leave a comment. . .
This work is for all, so help your self.

This is the second version of the program.
WHAT'S NEW
- Corrected some bugs related to compatibility with Android 6.
- Use xiaolu mkbootimg tools (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools)
TODO
- add support to x86, mips arch.
- add support to put files to unpacked folder.
- add support to combinedboot , in Xperia device recovery ramdisk is combined with system ramdisk.
IMPORTANT
- The apk need root access to work.
- Note that make change by adding files to unpacked folder with root explorer, the owner will be root and the apk will not work, if you do this you must change the owner to ABM apk.
THANKS

[Guide]How to backup DRM, unlock and root(for noobs)

Hey friends! I was looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3354307 and I decided to create my own thread about the same topic, however this thread is much more simplified and is for those people who are new to rooting Xperia smartphones.
So without further ado here are the steps
Part One: downloading prerequisites
in order to flash .ftf firmware files to downgrade your phone to lollipop for TA backup you will need.
1. Java JDK :
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
2. XperiFirm(not neccesary if you plan to stay on LP)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
3. Flashtool

Just a quick note, from my experience with downgrading in the past, you MUST wipe your user data, the phone won't boot else. This happened on multiple Sony phones with multiple different firmware versions.

I just corrected it, thanks for the quick note. Btw my z5 booted with minor issues when downgrading without wiping userdata

Every other Sony phone I've owned (M, Z1 compact, Z2) refused to boot after a downgrade. The main thing to remember when downgrading is to take a backup before doing so to prevent data loss, I've experienced it myself firsthand so I know how stressful it can be.
In the TA backup part you should add a step to make sure the script actually worked and didn't stop with an error, before proceeding on to unlocking BL. I had to reboot my phone & run the script several times before successfully pulling it off.
Hello!
I'm new to the Sony family as you can see in my signature and I wouldn't call myself n00b, but the whole procedure with the extra partitions is so confusing! Thank you for trying to break it down!
the usual 3 step way (1 unlock bootloader, 2 flash recovery, 3 flash SuperSU) is still present but there are some other steps before them.
As i can understand, all the hassle is just for the backup of the TA partition.
I think that we must start with your step 3, just to avoid confusion such as the step 3.4. Please post a direct link to the firmware you suggest, I can't download it because it requires me to register there too.
Also, you should break the part 4 at the step 11. If I'm not mistaken, the order should be 1, 3, 4 (1-10), 2 , 2.5, 4 (11-19).
In the guide, restoring DRM keys also should be added. ?

I did two things to try to fix this:
1: Use the previous version of flashtool (0.9.18.6) instead of the current one
2: Use the Software Repair function of Sony's Xperia Companion application
I don't know which of these helped (it might have been neither, actually) but in the end I was able to flash Lollipop 5.1.1 onto my Z5 and use iovyroot to back up the TA partition.
Hi, this is kind of off-topic but this is the best thread for this question I could find.
I was in a hurry to get rid of the bloated, horrible stock rom, and I did not back up my DRM keys. I did patch my current kernel with the DRM fix from another thread here at XDA. Now my question is:
What kind of functionality did I lose from this, except not being able to restore to stock and relocking bootloader?

Hello, look at this video:
h**ps:.youtube.com/watch?v=dTlosea6SJE
But at first, i installed at my Z5 the latest Kernal v36 and then i installed the TWRP 2.8.7.0, but i think you can install the newest TWRP too.
At last you install the SuperSu with TWRP, than you have full root!
Creating FTF not possible
hej,
i have a problem creating the FTF as described in Part 2.5:
-i downloaded the latest version via xperifirm (E6653_Customized DE_1298-3675_32.2.A.0.253_R3C)
-i deleted the fwinfo.xml & all .TA files from the folder
-flashtool is hanging here now:

05/016/2016 09:16:25 - INFO - Adding Sumire_S1BootConfig_MiscTA.ta to the bundle
-tried it with singapore customized and german customized (&not deleting the .TA-files & manually unselecting all TA files in flashtool)
what could be the issue here or is there another way to get the latest version on the phone after unlocking it?
or is it safe just to install the latest version as described here without deleting the .TA-files? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-sony-xperia-z5-unlock-root-tweaks-t3298224)

How To root and Twrp X compact Docomo so-02j

hello friends, i'm having trouble for my root and twrp because i have so-02j version.
I've followed the guides trying the genesis kernel, but it just makes a stop in the sony logo when booting.
does my device have a chance to root twrp and anymore?
my step was successful until unlock bootloader

Rootkernel is a tool. You can use it to disable built-in Sony security features in stock kernel, so you can modify system, etc. You will need the stock kernel.elf file from your ftf. Default format is .sin, I think, so you need to use Flashtool to dump kernel.sin from ftf, then use sin editor to get kernel.elf. Then you can use rootkernel tool to patch kernel.elf and output boot.img, that you can flash in recovery.

Use 7zip, and go to ftf file and select 'open archive'. Find the file inside called 'kernel.sin', and extract /copy it somewhere. Then open Flashtool. in top dropdown menus, click 'sin editor', and navigate to the kernel.sin file, select it and choose 'extract data'. It will dump a file called 'kernel.elf'. Then download rootkernel tool, and extract to a folder, and put your kernel.elf fokder into the rootkernel folder. Then open a command prompt in the rootkernel directory, and type 'rootkernel kernel.elf boot.img'. If it works, it will create a boot.img that can be rooted.
issues/questions:
- I have only done this on Oreo. Serajr made an unofficial rootkernel specifically for Xperia Oreo. I have no way to know if it will work for a Nougat Docomo device. I know rootkernel has had several versions/releases, and does work on Nougat, but I don't know for sure which one, if any will work for you. Search these links:

2. i extrack the rootkernel tool folder and input the kernel.elf into the rootkernel folder. (here I am having problems, opening cmd or exe does not affect anything2)

Not sure what you mean... If you have rootkernel folder, open command prompt, and 'cd /(whatever)/(whatever)/rootkernel', (meaning navigate to wherever the rootkernel folder is), then type 'rootkernel'. What is output?

- Dm-verity is a security feature which will prevent system mods. You should select 'yes' to disable it
- Sony RIC: ditto
- Not sure about TWRP msg. just leave it 'no'. You can flash TWRP later.
- If you don't have ta backup, you might want drm fix. It theoretically improves camera performance if you're missing ta. Since it says unsupported, maybe if you get bootloop with new kernel, try again with 'no'.
- Why not install busybox? Many or most root apps need it.

Next would be to flash the new boot img, (if you didn't yet). It might be a good idea to clean flash firmware first, but might not be necessary. If you do a clean fw flash first, don't turn on the phone when done flashing. Just unplug, then reconnect in fastboot, and flash boot.img. After you flash the new boot img, if everything boots ok, then flash TWRP, then flash root, (Magisk, e.g.).
Kugo has official TWRP now, but don't know if it will work with Docomo. Seems like it should... Latest version is 3.2.2. There's also unofficial 3.2 versions in the development forum here. If you have any TWRP that has worked on your phone before, maybe just stick with that one for testing.

You can try ta-poc by munjeni. That's the only ta restore I've ever used. Or, if you made a TWRP backup of your rom before unlocking bl, TWRP might do it. I've heard about other methods, but never tried.

I DID NOT CREATE THIS ROM OR THE RECOVERIES OR FLASH TOOLS LINKED, I ONLY MODIFIED THE SYSTEM UI AND SETTINGS AND BUILD PROP ZIPS BELOW.
I am not responsible for any damage (if any) to your device, data, life, job or anything else you'd care to think of.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK IN THE THREAD AS EVERYONE BENEFITS, PM'S WILL MOSTLY BE IGNORED.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER YOU MUST FIRST UNLOCK IT.
Download all files you want/need to your PC/External SD before starting...just saying.
[/CENTER]
​Step One
​
Flash stock firmware for your device that the rom is based off. Readily available from Xperifirm (attached to flashtool - Bonus!), or XDA. Flash via Flashtool or Newflasher. Again, there's plenty of guides on using flashtool and newflasher, i'm not covering that here.
​
Step Two
​
Once flashing has completed, turn the device on and allow it to fully boot. Complete the setup process, and log in to your google account. Move the ROM file you already (hopefully) downloaded to internal storage (IMPORTANT STEP: I had symlink errors flashing the ROM from the External SD Card). I normally disable auto-updates in the Play Store/Whats New apps and then let it rest for 5 minutes.​
Step Three​
Turn your device off, boot into FASTBOOT MODE, and flash TWRP (fastboot flash recovery TWRP/ATWRP.img). If you don't know how to fastboot, see above re: XDA/Google. Unplug your device, wait 10 seconds, then boot into recovery (Hold power and volume down together, release both at at the vibration). Tick the checkbox then swipe right, and the first thing you SHOULD do is go to settings and turn the damn vibration off. :laugh:
​Step Four​
DON'T WIPE ANYTHING!!! You are installing on top of an already clean installation, its pointless. Press Install, select the XPERIA_PIE_XZP_1.0.zip file you downloaded earlier, and swipe right to install that sucker. Don't freak out when it takes 5 to 8 minutes for the recovery screen to change, its doing its thing, trust me. Once you get the all clear and the button down the bottom says reboot, that's pretty much all that's left to do.​
Step Five​
Once the phone reboots, let it settle again for a while, and deny all the requests the Chinese apps throw at you. After a few minutes, go into the root explorer app, allow root permissions when it requests it, then go to system/priv-app and delete any app starting with TG. Unless you really like Chinese bloat, in that case, proceed to set up your phone as usual.
The ROM is pretty basic at the moment but given time and based off the Oreo series, more System UI mods will become available with later versions.​

ADD-ONS​
And now we have a few add-ons. You don't really need any of these, but its XDA and if you've come this far you obviously like flashing stuff so here we go...
The Modified Animation Values zip has one extra setting added in developer options, to the animation duration settings. .25 duration has been added (extra fast). Theres no real point to this other than making things seem quicker, but this zip has the added bonus of having the XZ3 Settings.apk included. (Stock XZ3 settings.zip also supplied) FLASH IN RECOVERY
Modified Settings: https://mega.nz/#!qF4gBazC!R4hoXd_1fEOCxwrrttpXRR0CBCO9A3L8QZq3y3A-NEY
Stock Settings: https://mega.nz/#!HQwSSCAC!T3rPbcPLCCVVcMVCZGk3cDKp6DreHtjVYxEcRer3ORQ
The Rounded Recents zip has a modified SystemUI.apk that has (surprisingly) rounded recents modified into the apk. I have also pushed all the right side status bar icons across a little and shortened the space between the data icon and the battery (stock SystemUI.apk zip supplied). FLASH IN RECOVERY
Modified System UI: https://mega.nz/#!iQ4URIzJ!ssb0Wn7rXfqdU9ll3PWGp6Ba7Qx7rfnzH_QxHocEOV4
Stock System UI: https://mega.nz/#!qEpQwIYT!6QDuEWPHiWT111ah2X39z2UzcXvpmEqO2KlAnNpnA_E
The G8141 build prop zip has a build prop modified to say G8141 for those picky (like me) and don't like seeing G8142 in about phone. If you have a G8142, ignore this whole bit about build.prop. Unzip the file and move the file with a root explorer to /system and apply R-W-R-R permissions and reboot.

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST MAKE A BACKUP FIRST MAKE A BACKUP FIRST
Last but not least, is the Deodex patch (COMING SOON - UPLOADING) for this ROM. Expect lengthy boot time first go, and then longer than usual every time after that. If you flash this zip, your keyboard will be removed, unless you have a keyboard already installed from the Play Store. YOU WILL HAVE NO KEYBOARD AFTER FLASHING THIS ZIP UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE INSTALLED FROM THE PLAY STORE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! TWICE!!!
Deodex Patch:

Thank you my friend
Great job
Nice
Thanks for this
Nice bro
Keep it up ^^
Added Patched Services.jar Magisk Module to Post 3.
I wonder if the uploaded file is not damaged.
I downloaded twice, filesize reached 1.52 GB at 100%. But the zip file fails to open. Can not be extracted as well
Therefore I did not try it in TWRP.

Its a slightly modified stock rom, based on .306 dual sim Pie firmware. The rom is odexed.
I have it flashed root working, looks nice, refreshing and snappy, i guess xzp does not have hardware side sensors but you can still tap on edge of screen and bring side menu out , nice!!!
I love new camera look, huge icons in pull down menu.... not so much, haha , it is a matter of gettin use to it i guess
Great work, thanks
