Hey guys, just a quick thread.
I think this phone needs more LB support. Has anyone even tried a bypass method for us with LB to be able to flash custom kernels? I know back when I had a Bell Motorola Atrix there was a hack that gave us the ability to unlock our bootloaders. Why aren't we trying to find one for this phone?
I understand that those with LB can't use the official method for unlocking the bootloader, but is there not a hack we could work towards? Has anyone even tried to unlock the LB Xperia Z2? There must be a way.
Besides that, I also think it would be good to have more LB support in android development. For example a CM11 that can be used on LB devices. I'm currently running Miui 4.4.4 and it supports both LB and UB.
Cheers

The best way to support LB is to have a rom version that uses the stock kernel. Hopefully this is what happens moving forward with the release of a sony lollipop update.

I think I saw from some other threads that the reason why we can't work towards unlocking non-unlockable bootloaders is because we need to break sony encryption or something like that?
I don't know, sorry.
We are at the peak of Locked Bootloader Support.
We cant do anything more unless someone wants to spend so much time to do so.
Cracking sonys bootloader encryption results essentialy in an unlocked bootloader hence thats somewhat pointless
We cant unlock a non unlockable Xperia unless as said the encryption is cracked
And sonys encryption is almost FBI level and it may even vary per Z2
Cm11/12 on locked bootloader is possible but its extremly complicated and setting up a rom like such on LB is complicated too
You have to root your device, install a custom kernel to the fotakernel given that its not bound by the bootloader then we have to make a modified rom which reboots the fotakernel then the custom rom that matches

Currently rooted with recovery on miui v5 android vers 4.4.4. Where is this custom kernel for LB, and why has it not been implemented yet in such a fashion?

Best to wait for OTA lollipop update then?
If it were standardized, say if CM11/12 took on the responsibility of releasing a LB rom, would it not make the process easier for everyone else?
Just do the same as me, sell the phone and buy another brand like motorola or something like that.
But nobody wants a Z2, hard to sell as hell.

Or just do your research and don't get a locked device.
Actually I think it shouldn't be too difficult to install cm11/12 on LB. There is a method which has worked now for some months on the Xperia SP which let you run any ROM on the stock kernel. I think these modified for LB ROMs load a custom ramdisk at a late point in the boot process. I'm not familiar with the way it works but I guess with some reasonable work amount it might be doable for the Z2 too. If someone is willing to try to port it pm me, I can provide you with the usernames of the people who made it on the XSP.

The easiest way is to change your phone to an unlock BL allowed: yes one.
If it was easy to run custom kernels on a LB , having an UB or LB would be practically the same...
I also have an unlockable phone, but it's my own fault for not researching better before buying the phone. i never had sony phones before, i should have researched more. Since the security of the z2 is very high i'm not expecting to run customs kernels anytime soon, if i ever need it it'll try to sell my phone and buy an unlocked one...

So what about this? Why not just give it a shot for CM11/12?
As I said previously I'm currently running Miui on 4.4.4 and it gives you an option for locked or unlocked bootloader in the Aroma installer.

miui is stock based hence why it works on LB
Its extremly hard to get any custom kernel to run on a device to have it work on LB as said its pointless bugging people about it.

Oliver and letama are rhe ones behind CM10 for Xperia S
Is far as i know they have a smaller custom kernel in /system Most of the rom uses the stock kernel i think.

Ok. I'll be waiting for the official lollipop update + kernel for cool roms. Fingers crossed that someone cracks the sony code as well.

I think 42 years of brute force testing is how long it should take i thinm.
Unless someone can get a lucky catch.
Hah, well hopefully people support LB by including a stock kernel version for all roms (especially with release of official lollipop stock kernel --soon?--).
I know it's too early, since no units have shipped yet, but my biggest concern about the z5c is root. The only way we have root on the z3c / z3 / z3 tablet compact is because of a KitKat exploit, I don't believe Lollipop 5.1.1 was ever exploited for Sony devices, so I'm worried the z5 family may not have root for quite awhile. Whenever I get a new device, I try to live without root, but it's impossible!

so what? It's really funny that everytime a new sw update comes for a phone people start to talk about root and the fact that it couldnt be rootet! and then after a while it would be rooted and again another update comes and...stop it man you cant live without root then get another phone, obviously you're not asking sony to release z5 with 5.0 intead of 5.1 huh?! then what's the point of mentioning it
I assume that you can root it easily with SuperSu (or something similar) if you open the bootloader.
But I don't really know about that DRM stuff when you open the bootloader.

I can relate to what mickliq was mentioning. Its not about adjusting. So many people now use root for their existing devices with mods and root-requiring apps. That all will go lost if root is not there and it can get frustrating. And btw Kianush, he expects some sort of hope that the device will get rooted in time, not to encourage him to go get another phone. Or he wont be in this section.
I would say then wait up for a month or two more after release of Z5c, and watch over the development till roots and ROMs arrive. Am going to do the same. Not to mention that Android Marshmallow is also coming soon.
There would be no problems rooting a phone with an open bootloader.
The problem is when you try to root a phone with a locked bootloader. That is not possible unless there is an exploit to do that.
So what kind of root are the OP referring?

I was referring to root without BL unlock because of camera loss quality.
With 32GB as the max on Nexus 5x today, z5c is an even stronger option...with root!

Well, with all the security stuff introduced since Lollipop. I don't think that will happen.
- I'd like to know about DRM in the Z5 line. Maybe we are now able to unlock the BL without loosing any DRM stuff.
- Regarding the Z5C vs N5X: They are two different concepts. N5X could be compared with the Z5 (non compact).

You're right in a way - I was thinking more of the old N5 at 4.95". It didn't feel particularly small in the hand, but there are so few devices < 5.2" these days, anything in the general vicinity needs to be considered
FWIW, the Z5, if it feels like the Z3, is probably too boxy in the hand, probably because of the squared corners.

How's that? I have it unlocked here and there's no bootloader that I could use to boot into a recovery. Even though there's a good chance the TWRP images by @o-l-a-v for z3c will work here too. Am I missing something?

You'll probably have to wait for a custom recovery to support Z5 compact.
I've never used a custom recovery from other phone (My last 3 phones were nexus and they usually have a custom recovery pretty fast), maybe it's not risky at all. But who knows...I would just wait until a recovery is released.
Root, TWRP and especially ROMs will take a while. the Z5 and Z5 compact hasn't even been out a month and isn't even out on all markets yet. In the US it just released or will be released within days (not 100% sure) so many devs haven't even gotten their hands on them yet but since the bootloader can be unlocked it shouldn't be impossible to get custom stuff on the device, but just rooting with ease could take awhile since AFAIK there is no working exploit in 5.1.1. yet to get root. But the Z line is a very popular line and the z5 compact is a powerhouse with good battery life, would surprise me if all this was fixed within a few months. It almost always takes months, development isn't something that just magically appear, someone has to do the work.

Okay, i am making this thread so people can find the answer for their questions here, some of these are the questions i was wondering too, but mostly these questions are what i think most people are wondering. And as always i want the answer to be heard from many people, so i really can be sure and know all about it!
ROMS..............
So, anyone got any idea when custom roms like cyanogen get compatibility for xperia z5 premium? how long does it usually take? and how do i get my current stock rom on my pc so i can customise it myself, and not die in waiting for cyanogen ? When the first cyanogen comes, it will be laggy, as everyone knows... Is it worth flashing? Can flashing ROMs break my phone, even when done right? Are they too risky for my brand new flagship beast?
ROOT..............
When do EASY one click rooting apps like kingroot, kingoroot and iroot work with the z5 premium? Does the "dirty" unlocked bootloader root made by androplus for xperia z5p work for the latest software update? When will the legendary locked bootloader root come?
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED......
Okay this is what i can answer on!
Will the camera quality go really bad?
NO, it won't. Only in low light it will be terrible, only in low light! It is EXACTLY (for me) the same as locked bootloader on normal lightning. YOU CAN BARELY SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!
is the boot loader worth unlocking??
This is a hard one. Its different for everybody, someone LIKE ME thinks its worth it, some others think its not. (tell your opinions pls)
FOR ME IT IS. As with unlocked bootloader you will be getting root before the locked boys.
What does change?
For me, nothing really. No experience has changed for me, but everyone uses it differently!
Okey so thats it for now its sunday night soon, post your questions down below, ill answer IF I CAN xd. if i don't know the answer, other people will answer it (HOPEFULLY) please ask and comment below! Thank you guys!
And by the way, will there EVER be a android 4.x rom that works on z5p?
Android 4.x ? Are you kidding me? Nooooo of course there wont be...
Unlocked bootloader exists and so does root. We dont have locked Bootloader root yet.
Cyangenmod? Wont be for while I think.

Developer Option Allowing the bootloader to be unlocked
I just picked up the zmax pro tonight. I was going through making changes to the settings as I always do with a new phone and enabled the "Developer Options". As I was scrolling down I came across an option labeled " OEM Unlocking: Allow the bootloader to be unlocked". Well of course I enabled it.
Now from the knowledge I have about rooting, you have to have the bootloader unlocked to root. So by enabling the OEM Unlock are you just allowing the bootloader to be unlocked or are you unlocking the bootloader?
I look forward to hearing back.

I just picked up the zmax pro tonight. I was going through making changes to the settings as I always do with a new phone and enabled the "Developer Options". As I was scrolling down I came across an option labeled " OEM Unlocking: Allow the bootloader to be unlocked". Well of course I enabled it.
Now from the knowledge I have about rooting, you have to have the bootloader unlocked to root. So by enabling the OEM Unlock are you just allowing the bootloader to be unlocked or are you unlocking the bootloader?
I look forward to hearing back.

You are just allowing the bootloader to be unlocked . As it said. To unlock the bootloader, you need the help of the genius hackers here. Unfortunately, like one of the posters here said our phone is unpopular which I say again, I don't know why, this is a good phone for me.
But then again, I really don't see the point of rooting any phone anymore, new phones already have all the things you want to put on your phones and why you root them right?
If I ever root my phone though, I definitely will install xposed. I like that they have repositories remind me of kodi, which is the best hack of em all. Is exposed made by kodi people?

How to root Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 Inch (ZC553KL)...please!
I haven't found any solution to root too. pls help
same here. seem like this phone is still too new in market ...
also waiting on root for this particular model...
Hey guys.
I just bought this model too...
Still no luck on getting Root, right?
I checked a bunch of threads all over and only found solution for ZC520KL.
I also tried KingRoot (and several others), but KingRoot was the only one who returned an error message stating that a Root strategy had not yet been found for this particular model.
The request count for this model was 93, including my own.
So, I'm guessing we should all install KingRoot app and even though it does not root our phone, we can still issue a request for the devs to do it.
The more, the merrier.
Best regards,
Same hereeeeee, I was hoping this one will be much easier to root.. But eh.... I guess not
Same here. I looked for the unlock boot. I did not find..

Thus this method work?
For now NO but will keep try other ways to root the device
What do you plan to do once rooted? I don't see custom ROMs. The only thing I can think of is Xposed.

hello everyone
My HTC One M7 (viper rom) left me so i buy this Zenfone Max Plus the same day, i'm very surprised this low price phone is very much more performant than my old hight price HTC.
That would be very cool to see some rom's on this one, i hope but maybe i'm dreaming.
