Custom Recovery
Please have a read through the information in this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/
Flashing a custom recovery on the L2 is a simple process.
Things Required for this process:
Rooted Phone - (Please see the post on Rooting)
Mobile Uncle Tools APK
Recovery Image
First you have to allow the phone to install apps that dont come from Google Play Store.To do so,follow the guide :
1.Settings Menu
2.Security
3.Enable(tick) Unknown sources
4.Untick Verify apps
You can always reset these back to how you found them when you are done.
Download Mobile Uncle Tools
Mega Link: http://goo.gl/IkyVDo
or
MediaFire Link : http://goo.gl/c5q6Jh
Copy APK file to your SD card,use your file manager to install it.
Run Mobile uncle tools,allow root permissions when menu pops up.
You can close the app for now.Next thing we need is the actual recovery file itself.I've attached the recovery i find works best

Once the file has downloaded,copy to the root of your SD Card.
Open Mobile Uncle Tools and Select "Recovery Update".
Be sure to Select the downloaded recovery image,not anything else.
Select the file and proceed with installation.Mobile uncle tools will then prompt you to reboot into recovery if the update was successful.Select Yes and the phone will reboot into the new recovery menu

Go to Settings,Storage and See Total space is now 1.97GB
If the phone wont boot,power down,then hold up key and turn on to get into recovery mode.
1.Select Backup and Restore
2.Select Restore and Confirm(Proceed)
Restore the backup you made earlier.
This should let the system load when you reboot again,even if it asks you to format the phone again.

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.
So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)
http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html
Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:
1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.
2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)
3.Open "etc" folder
4.Open Firmware folder
5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)
6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR
7.Open System folder
8.Open "etc" folder
9.Open Firmware folder
10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)
11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to
12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card
I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.
I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.
latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in
FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know
problem solved...
Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...
Post has been updated
I need to talk to you.... Go read my PM
installation is always aborted.. PLEASE HELP
Replied
Thanks
The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!
Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?
Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...
I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks
Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!
PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?
PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions...
helpppp
I have probelm, phone do not show sim card, on official site there is no serbia rom please how to fix it?

any news on the kitkat rom yet? super excited to try this out!
is the link for the rom gone?
i dont see it
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
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
4. Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#downloads
5. iovyroot(not necessary if you do not want to backup DRM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597
other prerequisites:
Patience
Mountain Dew or Starbucks
A small bit of knowledge on command line interfaces
Part Two: Downloading firmware
1. Open up XperiFirm
2. Select your device from the list
3. Select your model number(can be checked in Settings > about phone > Model Number

5. Go to file explorer and delete 'fwinfo.xml' from the firmware folder
6. IMPORTANT DO NOT TRANSFER THE FILES WITH A .TA FILE EXTENSION IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE with that disclaimer out of the way go back to flashtool, transfer all the files using the arrows (except those with a .ta file extension)
7. Click create, you should be able to sit back and relax while it does its thing
Part Three: Downgrading firmware
Download the firmware here: http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/xperia-z5_e6653_32-0-a-6-152_central-europe-5_generic.477/

5. Tick "user data" in the box at the top right hand corner
6. Press flash and wait
Part Four: DRM backup and unlock
1.Extract iovyroot

13. Download androplus kernel v23 and above from here: https://kernel.andro.plus/
14. Extract boot.img and put it in the android SDK inside of 'platform-tools'
15. Press shift+right click inside of the same folder
be sure to install xperia z5 fastboot drivers)
16. click 'open command window here'
17. run fastboot devices and make sure it detects your device
18. run this command here : fastboot flash boot boot.img
19. Reboot and DONE
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 (¬ 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)
thanks for any input!

This is for the Samsung S8+ (G955F) version only.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there regarding how to install the new Beta 2 for Oreo for Samsung S8+.
I thought I would put this guide out there as this was the easiest I found and the bonus is that you keep your data and just upgrade over the top.
All credit to jaron vdb from Telegram. This is his backup and he has given me permission to use it. He is the brains – I am just good at writing easy to use guides!
Pre-requisite:
-you need to have a working TWRP
-you need an external sd card
Steps:
1. Get into TWRP and backup your current rom to your external SD card. We will need this later to restore the data and importantly: if things go wrong you can always restore back again to what you have now.
Once it has been backed up you will have a folder on your external sd card that looks something like this:
Name of your External SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just backed up in step 1]
2. Download this file and save it to your External SD CARD:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1skCkpxUChw4rwxR7IBctSWhfkvJmQmqL
This is your TWRP restore file kindly provided by jaron vdb.
3. Once you have downloaded that file then you will need to unzip this file. Use something like 7zip from Playstore and extract that file you downloaded to this location you just created with Step 1 – something like:
External SD CARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just unzipped]
This is a very important step – you must extract the file you downloaded to this EXACT location.
4. Go here and download supersu 2.82SR5 to your external SD Card:
https://androidfilebox.com/app/supersu-root/
This is the only root version working at the moment – magisk does not work as of now. It is Supersu which works perfectly. It also has dm-verity on it so will allow you access to data in TWRP.
5. Ok we are ready to flash the Beta 2! Get into TWRP again
6. Hit the restore button and then go to your external SD Card and restore the file that you downloaded and had to extract. You will also see your other restore in there. Don’t touch that just yet.
7. Stay in TWRP and now go to Wipe and then go to Format Data and then type in yes
8. Stay in TWRP and now go to Restore and choose the first file you backed up in Step 1 – your original backed up ROM. Choose this file and then ONLY TICK data to install. Restore data.
9. Stay in TWRP and flash the supersu file you downloaded.
10. Reboot!
11. You now should be rebooted back into your original rom with the very smooth Beta 2 installed!
12. Now you have to make the fix so you don’t get a buttload of random reboots and Knox nonsense. Download Root Explorer or any build prop editor program from Playstore and change:
ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0
and change Knox thingo to v30 like this:
ro.config.knox=v30
Mine was already on v30 but YMMV
13. Have a cup of tea.
Flash Oreo Firmware
You can also flash the new Oreo firmware BUT ONLY IF YOUR OEM UNLOCK CAN BE TOGGLED IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS. Otherwise you can’t flash this file:

I don't understand why you need to be rooted, can't you simply restore this twrp backup and proceed to use stock oreo?

You can't get TWRP without root.
Edit:
Actually yes if you install custom recovery by odin then you don't require root. Good point!
how to do this
Flash Oreo Firmware
You can also flash the new Oreo firmware BUT ONLY IF YOUR OEM UNLOCK CAN BE TOGGLED IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS. Otherwise you can’t flash this file:

You need to extract the image file from that compressed format, use windows are download an app that will extract it.
Suggestion RAR from play: - com.rarlab.rar or alternative app that will do the same.

Hey @Sid127, this is really nicely written tutorial, thank you What bothers me, why we need to mount partitions once again in step 6? Partitions were mounted in step 3 and there wasn't any reboot in meanwhile.
3. Mount all partitions, and wipe all partitions.
4. Flash the Vendor Image zip file.
5. Clear Dalvik/Cache.
6. Mount all partitions, and wipe system.
7. Flash GSI to System partition *only*.

Second question, maybe easier... If I have existing TWRP backup for non treble ROM, is it OK to restore such backup using Treble recovery after wiping everything? Or it's recommended to flash previous recovery first?

1. You just need to make sure that all partitions are mounted.
2. You can restore the backup through Treble TWRP.
Happy flashing!

I think it is possible to dirty flash Open Gapps, but it might give bugs, always go for a clean flash
Everything works for me, only thing was that at the first setup it was stuck on "checking for updates". So I tried the method of tapping all sides of the screen (from top-left clockwise to bottom-left) and it skipped the setup. The flashlight is a little wonky, but that's the only thing that was getting in my way. The audio was a little too quiet, so I installed some app on the playstore to gain it. Thanks for such a comprehensive guide! Android Pie is amazing, but development for it on a 3 year old device is even more so!

I had to forage through 4 complex guides, scourge through XDA and Telegram for all the patches, and hence could make such a simple guide. Apparently, devs on the Telegram channel are working on the Bluetooth and VoLTE fix I'll update once that happens!

I did see that, but when I flashed it, it messed upy system and I had to reinstall the GSI. I don't know how to modify it for Treble, could you do it? I'm happy to test. I believe that fix is for Flashavle ZIPs, not for Treble GSIs.
Possible Gcam and stock working patch!
Posted this in AOSP Pie Rom thread, may also work for the GSI?

I found Gcam Pie Fix for another device in this thread.

Gcam that I'm using: - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939833577
^^^ From this thread, maybe newer versions available.
I was able to setup face unlock after flashing the above fix, you may also need to enable Smart Lock (Google) as a trusted agent.
It is buggy and the face option may not always trigger, plus you need to hold the phone far from you and swipe when the lock symbol appears (no fast unlock options xposed).
Another benefit of flashing another Camera (V 2.0.002) Started working as well. (Don't know if that is the default AOSP camera or something I restored from backup? Could be Snap Camera from LOS).

Not that I'm aware of, but this just places/replaces some Lib and Lib64 in system partition.
If your worried about it, back up your system partition, flash the this patch and wipe caches.
If you experience problems, just restore your system partition.
It was reported working by someone else here.
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID! I am not responsible for anything that could happen, dead sd card, bricked phones, you name it. You chose to install this software and you face the risk of any bugs that may affect you. This is just a warning incase anything goes wrong
ISSUE: FASTBOOT Might not work on windows 10 version 2004, a solution is to use a Linux virtual machine to use fastboot commands. Test it out first as you might be lucky and it could work for you.
A complete guide on how to either just root the razer phone 2 and/or install a gsi with everything working.
The sections are: Basics - Installing TWRP - Rooting - Installing a GSI + Root - Passing safety net to use baking apps, certain games etc.
Basics: (You will have to factory reset if you have not unlocked your bootloader before)
Download this and this file, un zip them both and move them to a known directory such as C:\ADB
Then on your phone, go into developer options and enable OEM/Bootloader unlocking, and after that reboot into the bootloader by holding POWER + VOL DOWN and plug the phone into your pc (I recommend you connect it to a USB 2.0 port, as USB 3.0 might give you issues with the fastboot commands)
Then we need to install bootloader drivers onto our phone, so open device manager, click the drop down menu next to Android Device, right click on Android and select Update Driver, then select Browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer, Show all devices, Have disk and navigate to your folder where you extracted the .zips (in my case C:\ADB) and open the usb_driver folder and select android_winusb.inf. In the next menu select Android Bootloader Interface, proceed through the warning and install it.
To unlock the bootloader open a cmd window in the directory of your platform-tools folder, which in my case would be C:\ADB\platform-tools (type cd C:\ADB\platform-tools in cmd) and run two commands: fastboot flashing unlock (after each one select yes on your phone and let it reboot - it might take a while) and fastboot flashing unlock_critical
To install the arter97 kernel/TWRP: (keep your phone in the Bootloader and plugged into the pc)
Download both the .zip and .img file from this link (i am using r12 intentionally as it causes less issues) and download this zip file as well
Move both .zip files onto your phones SD CARD (important) and rename the .img file on your PC to Boot.img and place it into your platform-tools folder (C:\ADB\platform-tools in my case)
Open a command prompt window and like before change the directory to the platform-tools folder, then run two commands: fastboot flash boot_a boot.img and fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Now using the volume keys select the Recovery Mode option in the bootloader and press the power key to select it, if it asks for a decryption password cancel it, and if it asks to allow system modifications swipe to allow it
Go to the Install section and navigate to external_sd and navigate to the arter-r12.zip you installed, then click it and swipe to flash, after that flash the f2fs zip and after it's complete back out to the main menu, click reboot and select recovery
Once you are back in recovery, go to Wipe and select Format Data (this will not erase your sd card if it is set as external storage) and type yes
If you don't want to root then to reboot to system go into Reboot and select System, TWRP will ask you if you want to install their special app, DO NOT INSTALL IT, CLICK ON DO NOT INSTALL.
Now you are ready to proceed to the next step(s) (these are short now don't worry)
To just root and stay on the stock ROM:
Download magisk 20.1 (works better) from here and move it onto your phone sd card by going to the main TWRP menu, selecting Mount then SD card and you should be able to transfer the file onto the sd card directly from your PC
Then simply flash the magisk 20.1 zip in TWRP as we did before and you can now reboot system (make sure to not install the TWRP app)
Magisk Manager will prompt you to update magisk, DONT do it. You can however install the latest magisk manager update
To install a GSI and Root: (lineageOS is what i have linked here, however this is not the only one you can use, make sure you NEED gapps before flashing it incase they are included anywhere)
Firstly, to have bluetooth working go to Mount and select Vendor, go back, select Advanced then File Manager then navigate to /vendor/overlay/ and delete both BluetoothResCommon.apk and RazerAuraBluetoothRes.apk
Then download the latest arm-64-bvN .img file from here, unzip it on your computer and move the .img file to your phone. If you also want gapps (google apps) download this file and move it onto your SD card as well
Now, head to the TWRP Install section, at the bottom select Install Image, select the downloaded lineageOS (or your own gsi) .img file, in the next screen select System Image and swipe to flash it.
Once it has flashed back out to the main screen and click on Wipe, then select Advanced Wipe, then select System, Repair or change file system, and finally press Resize and swipe to do it, if it fails then re do this step
Then go back into the Install section and flash the opengapps zip file and after that the magisk zip file
Now you can reboot to system (might take a couple minutes) and set up the phone.
If you notice it is running slowly go into settings > Phh treble settings (might have to force close app once for it to appear) > Misc Settings > Force FPS > and select the 120.00001 at the bottom (top numbers are 1080p and bottom numbers are 1440p)
Finally, to pass safetynet:
Head into magisk manager, go to its settings and enable Hide Magisk, then call it Manager and allow it to reinstall itself, after that enable Magisk Hide in the settings aswell (hide your banking apps with this or any game that wont boot due to ROOT)
Then go into the magisk downloads section and search for the ArCore module, install this, reboot and your safetynet will pass on a gsi
This is my first xda post so my formatting may be bad but i hope it can help some people if you have any questions drop a comment and please like the post if it helped you for more people to see it.
Have a good day

I know that phhussons AOSP works on this phone with no issues aswell, you might have to use securize to get safety net to pass tho.
android 11 will boot on this phone however iirc you won't be able to hear and other people won't hear you in phone calls.
havoc gsis I believe works but I haven't tested it and I have only heard of one person using it.
BLISS/LOSQ/CAOS don't work on this phone at all.
and after that I don't think there really is many more GSIs that work as they just won't boot for bizarre reasons
How about text messaging. Currently i have not been able to get SMS to work with any GSI on Android 10. Are you able to send and receive text messages? Did you have to do anything to get it working? If so, let me know because i have been having a heck of a time with it.

oh this issue... are you on T-Mobile by any chance as if you are there is no fix yet and you will have to wait for official lineageOS.

It doesn't necessarily not work with usb 3.0, for some people (and for me) it works with a usb 3.0 port however for a lot of people they have issues with it.

What do you mean razer menu? if you mean settings then it's a MAYBE.
on a gsi, dark mode is available
on stock android 9 it is possible. you need to use smali patcher to enable signature spoofing and then use swift theme installer alpha (substratum themes won't theme the settings)(you need to contact the developer to get the alpha version as others wont work)
