Yes it is. Just flash with odin.
Make sure OEM unlock is on in developer options.
Go with AQL firmware, it's newer.

32.1.A.1.185 New Update Now Avaliable How To Install

New Update!!
The title on this thread is just a bit misleading... This in no way explains how to install, what kind of Z5 P device it is or anything... Hardly worth a whole new thread, either, when this is being discussed in the 'Marshmallow available now' thread...

Yes. But I need the one with Root so I think I better stay and wait on the older firmware. also, I need the exact firmware for my phone for better coverage.

I think I have latest firmware from :
1298-2969 Customized MAA 32.1.A.1.185-R7C

Same customization of mine but I'll wait for the one rootable.
Hi OP. Were you be able to update it?pls consider to check if the kernel is the same as stock version of firmware 163? if it is still the same, I think we can still use the current custom kernels
Kernel is the same.

Does a diffrent firmware void your warranty? And if i do can i also turn back to my own cda when tmobile nl 6.0 has been released?
For E6853
The custom kernels work, but it's registered at the older firmware version, making the system update pop up even though you have it installed. I customized the stock kernel for the latest update with the help from @tobias.waldvogel tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

It has DRM restore injected, latest TWRP 3.0.1 and support for root. The rest is stock.
I would recommend flashing the latest firmware with Flashtool without wiping any data and flash the kernel afterwards in fastboot

Make sure to navigate to the correct directory you have it downloaded so it can detect the IMG.
No need for installing recovery as it already has this. From recovery just flash the latest SuperSU and you have root.

Mi released MIUI Global dev rom based on LP 5.1
Fastboot Link:

Should I flash directly in updater app?
Or the other method?
I just found it didnt tried but you can do clean flash using Fastboot rom or flash it using twrp.
Can I Flah It Using Cofface TWRP?
Yeah you can try using cofface twrp but take a backup(including EFS) before flashing the rom.
Be careful. Phone calls don't work for me. Anything else is fine
Edit build.prop like 6.6.23 to fix it

Need to Downgrade from Pie to Oreo

I have tried through Odin but I am getting a boot loader error of some sort...
Is there anyone who has tried this ? I am really hating pie and downgraded my Note 8...but the Fe is refusing it..
Any help would be appreciated
You can't downgrade if your bootloader changed. If your bootloader is U4 you can only downgrade to a different version of U4..if U5 it's the same thing only can downgrade to U5

If you use someone else's twrp recovery of 8.0, would that work?
Because I was also stuck on Pie, with U4 bootloader, but luckily I had a 8.0 recovery and recovered to it.
I dont know if that will work. You were probably able to downgrade because I believe there is a version of Pie that has U4 bootloader that is the only way to restore from Twrp backup. I just checked, there is a version of Pie that has U4 bootloader N35FXXU4CSC5. Root has nothing to do with it. That is why I always preserve my older bootloader. This allowed me to flash the S5 Pie system but keep my U4 bootloader.. flashed U4 bootloader with it that way I could revert back to Oreo

Looks good but I feel Oreo was better than pie. My phone lags and it just isn't what I thought... Looking for a way to get back to Oreo
That is my Oreo setup. My Pie setup is almost the same, Pie for me is much smoother but my Oreo setup I can run Xposed. There is no way back to Oreo. The only way probably is a mother board fron a Notw FE thats on Oreo. Or if a developer knows how to bring EDL to the FE and you can flash the Oreo image. Unless there is sonething out there I dont know about.

Just a reminder for future reference. I always disable software update on my devices for this exact reason. Updates dont neccesarily mean a good thing. I mean security updates are important but my Note 8 is still on the same firmware that it came with out of the box and I have never had any security issues. Always look at an update to see if the bootloader number changes. If it does change from the build you are on then you will be stuck. If the update says S4 its security update, if it says U4 its firmware upgrade. So as long as your flashing any firmware that has a 4 after any letter then you are good to downgrade. Remember if number goes up then bootloader changed and you will not be able to go backwards from U5 or S5 to U4 or S4.

There is actually something call Combination Firmware that allows you to roll back to Oreo. Unfortunately, I have not found any U5 Combination Firmware just yet because note FE is not that popular you know
PS: I also think Oreo is way better than Pie

Someone on reddit claims to have downgraded using an older bootloader incorporated with the pie framework... Apparently he doesn't remember how he did it...
I guess it is possible to somehow unzip and replace the bootloader image? Could anyone shed some light?
Anything is possible I guess, but I have never seen anyone do it.

I'm not sure...but if one could extract the image from Oreo bootloader, then place that bootloader image with the odin firmware then flash that firmware ultimately giving you Pie but with Oreo bootloader you could then odin Oreo firmware. Not sure if its possible.
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
Combination firmware can't downgrade binary. If you're on binary 5 and want to go back to Oreo, only thing you can do is custom rom (which could be as close to stock as possible), but you'll trip KNOX.
Of course everything is possible for Samsung itself, because they have the certificates to sign the image files. But they will never be made available to anyone outside Samsung.
