My PC got some hard disk problems and I couldn't do much about it. Since I've fixed it now, give me some time to upload them all
Do i need to update to 18.3.1.C.1.15 first or can I update right to this using cyanogen recovery? Sorry, I'm new to Sony Android (much different that htc, samsung, and OPO), but what exactly is an ftf?

FTF is a file that contains the firmware of the phone. Use FlashTool to flash it. Yes, you can upgrade to .16 without actually flashing .15 firmware
I can't get the flashtool to download from uploaded.to (I even have an account for that) or userscloud, it keeps failing. Does anyone have another mirror for it? Or can I use Emma for this?

Emma? No. Use the torrent link or the usercloud. You might find mirrors from previous versions
Avast found a virus in HostSearchProtocol.exe. Does anyone know about this?

If talking about Flashtool, it's false/positive because of the rooting stuff that Flashtool have. If you download and Avast delete some stuff you'll be able to flash ftf but root will give you an error.

Emma is the sony flash program that I used to a custom recovery on the phone. I have the flashtool downloaded and installed from the link you provided. Is there any particular proceedure I should follow? Anything I should keep in mind while using this? I look for a guide on the website you linked to, but didn't find anything.
Also, is there a way to back up everything in case I want to restore to factory later?

If you are on Windows 8 and up disable driver signature reinforcement. For Windows 7 is not required. After that download the FTF file and put it in C:\Users\(yourusername)\.flashTool\firmwares. Open flashtool folder and install the drivers provided in the drivers firmware (check them all if you are not sure which one to get). Restart your PC and open the flashtool program (FlashTool64 if you are running 64 bit system), after that press that lightning (flash button) -> select flashmode -> select your firmware and press ok. Follow the instructions given after that
Thanks to your help, I've been running c.1.16 for several days now, but I'm having some problems I hope you could help me with. First, some apps see that I have root some don't. After getting C.1.16 installed, i went into cyanogen recovery and flashed news supersu. However, while Greenify, Avast, Root Check, and some other apps recognize the phone as rooted, some other progams, like Root App Deleter, do not.
Furthermore, I am having problems saving to and accessing the MicroSD with apps. I've checked it in my computer and it works just fine. I google searched and see that this is a known issue with KitKat (although one I never had on my Samsung or Oneplus). I found several tutorials for remedying this and I try to follow the instructions for modifying platform.xml. However, after I insert the line of code and hit save, everytime I get the following error: "Can'twrite file: /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system). This is causing problems as I want to backup data, with apps like ROM Toolbox Pro, and they always fail.
Any ideas on how to resolve these two issues?

First problem, try reinstalling SuperSU again with the latest binaries and check the log if something is wrong. Second use this command line in ADB, if it doesn't work use NextApp SDFix
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox sed -i -e "/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE/,/<\/permission>/ s#^\(.*</permission>\)#\\t<group gid=\"media_rw\" />\\n\\1#" /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

First problem
so i have supersu 2.46 which is the newest stable one. Should i go to 2.49 beta?
Second problem
adb isn't recognizing the phone. nothing is listed when i type "adb devices." so i used terminal emulator which said busybox isn't found. do i need to install busybox? I tried downloading the installer from play store,but it failed to install busy box. also NextAPP failed, it said it couldnt write to the xml file.
Sounds like Sony ric is still active if you don't have r/w permissions, have you tried connecting your phone to flashtool and forcing root with flashtool. Or run Sony ric killer on PC

And i don't have problem with root.
To make ext card writable go to
/system/etc/permissions
In platform.xml find :
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
You'll be missing " media_rw" part, add it, save, reboot. You need root for this, so first resolve rooting part
You can look on XDA for MiXplorer it's best explorer.
Good Luck.

@zxz0O0 — iovyroot
MY VERSION ~ (HOW I DID IT)focusing on z5p (all variants) however the process is same for Z5 variants and z3+ / Z3 / Z3 compact and all variants too
SUMMARY
1. downgrading your 5.1.1
2. rooting
3. extracting DRM KEYS (ORIGINAL)
4. unlocking bootloader
5. FLASHING STOCK MODIFIED kernel (having recovery installed)
6. going in to recovery and flashing superSU.
Before you begin must do/have following
Download SU and put it in your SD CARD - CLICK HERE
TAKE FULL BACKUP, CONTACTS, GALLERY, VIDEOS, EVERYTHING. Keep usb debugging ON ( I used Titanium backup )
Driver installed (sony pc companion will do that) ( http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/xperia-companion/ )
Install FlashTOOL ( http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php ). and after installing flashtool, install
motherboard drivers (of your device) C:\Flashtool\drivers
NOW, goto http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ , select your device xperia z5 premium from dropdown list and follow the instructions
To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5 Premium Dual, prepare it by following these steps:
Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
Warning: Device protection features will not work on this device while this setting is turned on.Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked. Continue to http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/ , give your email ID and they will send you link asking you your device's IMEI Number. once you give that sony will email you YOUR BOOTUNLOCK KEYS within minutes. (keep them aside for now)
NOW IF YOU ARE RUNNING Z5P ON LATEST FIRMWARE "32.2.A.0.253" AND "DONOT WANT TO RESTORE YOUR DRM KEYS" --- SKIP TO NO.5
4. --DOWNGRADING XPERIA Z5 TO LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 - IN ORDER TO RESTORE DRM KEYS
a. run FLASHTOOL, and click XPERIFIRM BUTTON, it will launch XPERIFIRM, select your device (eg. xperia z5p "satsuki" , E6833) here you will see CDA 1299-7506 build number "32.0.A.6.115 R2B". this is the base version of z5p at which your device left sony Factory (LP kernel)
b. download this version (1.9gb)
c. now FLASH (downgrade) your z5p with .115 using FLASHTOOL. tutorial can be found here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 )
d . restart device, gothru the setup, enable wifi etc, download KINGROOT and root your android 5.x.x ( OR YOU CAN USE IVORYROOT ) ~ AS SOME MEMBERS SAY KINGROOT STORES DEVICE DETAILS ON THEIR CHINESE SERVER etc )
f. you are ready now to extract your DRM-KEYS / TA BACKUPS (FIDO KEYS) . use this simple TOOL given with tutorial at https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases // it will save your keys from ROOTED z5p , (allow root access to this application on your mobile screen)
g. WHY HAVING TA BACKUPS ? frankly I if you don't restore it, keeping your one time SONY given unique valuable keys of your device and having backup for future is logical.
unlocking bootloader.
- make sure the device is fully charged, (atleast 80%)
- IF your device has Android LP(5.x.x) / or MM (6.x.x) and you want to make TA backups, then GOBACK to point NO.4
- IF your device has Android LP(5.x.x) / or MM (6.x.x) and not interested in taking TA BACKUPS then proceed to
NO.5

Click to collapse
5. while device is switch-off, click "BLU" button on FLASHTOOL, follow the instructions. when FLASHTOOL ASK KEY, paste the KEY sent to you by SONY ( read NO.3 ). the device will be unlocked and should boot. the first boot will take a while and everything will be wiped from your z5p (TA partitions, DRM KEYS, USER APPS, USER DATA.
if your device is already running on android 6.01 (32.2.A.0.253) then skip to NO.7.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. again using xperifirm in FLASHTOOL download 32.2.A.0.253 for your Device and by using FLASHTOOL, Flash your Z5P. the TUTORIAL of flashing any xperia phone can be found HERE
7. @KbaB.BroS has build repository of modified STOCK KERNAL for z5p (all variants) running on .253 at HERE. download the .img file and FLASH your KERNEL it via flashtool.
while your device is charged and switch off after UNLOCKING BOOT LOADER (having .253 buildnumber)
click the THUNDER icon on flashtool
select FASTBOOT MODE
click "select kernal to flash"
connect device by toggling volume up/down keys as per instructions by FLASHTOOL.
FlashTool then, will ask .img file location. point it to the .img file. and your kernel will be flashed in 1 second
BOOT your device, on SONY LOGO press volume up, the led will turn AMBER, and you will TWRP recovery.
select install from zip, and flash the SUPERUSER .zip which you placed in your SD CARD in the VERY BEGINNING.
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE.
CONGRATULATIONS on ROOTED z5p
WHAT TO DO if your device is NOT z5p ?
using FLASHTOOL you can create your OWN modified kernel by
Downloading your device' latest build by SONY using XPERIFIRM (some 2.x GB of ftf file) , once done ..
EXTRACT the TFT file using 7zip
in flashtool click TOOLS>> SIN EDITOR >> in the extracted data, find kernel.sin and dump it as kernel.elf
DOWNLOAD TOOL "rootkernel_v5.0_rc4_Windows_Linux" mention at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605, extract it,
Place the KERNEL.ELF file in this folder and open command prompt in that folder (right click menu while pressing shift key
type "roodkernel kernel.elf boot.img " it will ask four important questions, disabling dm-varity (yes), disabling sonyRIC (yes), installing busybox (no), installing recovery (YES) and later it will creat boot.img file of your device's variant.
FLASH YOUR CREATED .img file as explain in point no.7

f. You are ready now to extract your drm-keys / ta backups (fido keys) . Use this simple tool given with tutorial at https://github.com/devshaft/backup-ta/releases // it will save your keys from rooted z5p , (allow root access to this application on your mobile screen)
g. Why having ta backups ? Frankly i if you don't restore it, keeping your one time sony given unique valuable keys of your device and having backup for future is logical.
unlocking bootloader.
5. while device is switch-off, click "blu" button on flashtool, follow the instructions. When flashtool ask key, paste the key sent to you by sony ( read no.3 ). The device will be unlocked and should boot. The first boot will take a while and everything will be wiped from your z5p (ta partitions, drm keys, user apps, user data.
6. again using xperifirm in flashtool download 32.2.a.0.253 for your device and by using flashtool, flash your z5p. The tutorial of flashing any xperia phone can be found here
7. @kbab.bros has build repository of modified stock kernal for z5p (all variants) running on .253 at here. Download the .img file and flash your kernel it via flashtool.
while your device is charged and switch off after unlocking boot loader (having .253 buildnumber)
click the thunder icon on flashtool
select fastboot mode
click "select kernal to flash"
connect device by toggling volume up/down keys as per instructions by flashtool.
flashtool then, will ask .img file location. Point it to the .img file. And your kernel will be flashed in 1 second
boot your device, on sony logo press volume up, the led will turn amber, and you will twrp recovery.
select install from zip, and flash the superuser .zip which you placed in your sd card in the very beginning.
reboot your device.
congratulations on rooted z5p
what to do if your device is not z5p ?
using flashtool you can create your own modified kernel by
downloading your device' latest build by sony using xperifirm (some 2.x gb of ftf file) , once done ..
extract the tft file using 7zip
in flashtool click tools>> sin editor >> in the extracted data, find kernel.sin and dump it as kernel.elf
download tool "rootkernel_v5.0_rc4_windows_linux" mention at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605, extract it,
place the kernel.elf file in this folder and open command prompt in that folder (right click menu while pressing shift key
type "roodkernel kernel.elf boot.img " it will ask four important questions, disabling dm-varity (yes), disabling sonyric (yes), installing busybox (no), installing recovery (yes) and later it will creat boot.img file of your device's variant.
flash your created .img file as explain in point no.7

thank you very much working on d6853 no issues so far
Is there any modified STOCK KERNAL for Z5 (dual)? or anything similar which contains TWRP recovery? I've been searching a lot of threads but I can't seem to find any. Thanks for the reply.
In which step are the DRM keys recovered/restored?

at the end you can restor DRM KEYS using same tool

however the Kernels by @KbaB.BroS already have DRM Stimulation so as of now even if you don't restore keys, it will be just fine. however keeping them SAFE for any future situation would be RECOMENDED

Use iovyroot, that other backup TA is a bit old last update was 2014...
When you backup with iovyroot using tabackup.bat you'll have TA-(numbers).img file (keep it safe somewhere as this is your unique and personnel backup)
To fully restore your keys on an unlocked bootloader, copy your TA partition backup to the rootkernel folder...command prompt to the rootkernel folder and type:
flash_dk TA-(numbers).img restore-drm-keys.ftf
You'll get a file called restore-drm-keys.ftf
Now use flashtool to flash it and all your keys will be restored (including fido)

The rootkernel folder from tobias tool, right click in that folder to open a command prompt...
Edit: if you go to the iovyroot thread, read the the 1st and 2nd post to understand what you're doing... In the 2nd post there is a link that will explain in details the all process, just adapt it to your own device...
To find out if your keys are re-enabled after you flashed them go to the services menu and under test/security you should see the 3 keys on top "active" and the fido key "provisioned"...that means that all your keys are back, if the fido key is not provisioned then your keys are only emulated...hope that it's a bit more clear now

the kernal made by @KbaB.BroS has DRM Stimulation enabled,
if you are making your own modified stock kernel then don't enable DRM Stimulation.
however modifying kernel is risky. be extra careful!

is this problem
1. with play store only ?
2. how about rest of the apps? (chrome / viper / whatsAPP)
3. or are u facing connectivity issue globally?
you mentioned first two days after rooting this means initially it was working just fine... what apps you installed and allowed root access via superSU ?
please specify....
my WILD guess is that you might be having DNS issues (but that was OLD time issue in Cynogenmod (build in Gingerbread) that you have to specify DNS in settings globally....

Huawei P9 Custom Rom
*MagicRainbow*Version TwoMagisk Edition and Classic EditionTeamwork by Tecalote and KangV
based on Android 7.0 (N) EMUI 5.0 European Firmware b386
I'm happy to present you my new ROM It is tested and works without any problems on EVA-L09 C432 and EVA-L19 C432.
Other models must be tested first, which Firmware is required to get Developer Options and Fingerprint to work. Please report!
German-Thread:https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p9.2808/huawei-p9-rom-android-7-0-emui-5-0-magicrainbow-v2-by-tecalote.829450.html
1) Difference between Magisk and Classic Edition:
The Magisk Edition was made to have a safteynet capable device that still offers much more features than a Stock Firmware ... It has the same features as Classic Edition, but with the difference that you can bypass safeteynet .... Apps such as Pokemon Go, various banking apps and others - which does not work anymore on rooted devices should work in this Rom
The Classic Editon is rooted with SuperSU and has the same features, but safteynet cannot bypassed. However, who does not run apps on this "questionable" service will have the same joy with this Rom
2) Requirements for MagicRainbow - short overview:
Basically: You must already be on Android 7 (Nougat), Bootloader must be unlocked, latest TWRP flashed with special settings (explained below)
A) Your device must not be rooted for installing this ROM - it is even better, if you start from clean original Huawei Stock Firmware.
Firmware-Requirement:
EVA-L09 C432 and EVA-L19 C432 need original Huawei Firmware b386 installed (flashable Firmware available - see below). But b386 is not for all other cust and models avilable!
EVA-L29C636 and EVA-L19C636 has currently only b361 as flashable Firmware available. Higher Firmwares comes only with OTA.
You should be with the Firmware for your device nearly to b386 - if not then Fingerprint may not work and perhaps not the Developer Options (which is very important for this ROM to work properly)
B) If you are on Stock Firmware and your device is rooted, backup your stuff, unroot your device and make a factory reset.
C) If you come from any Custom Rom like MagicRainbow v1 (based on b386) or @dkionline BlueWei - you must go back to original Huawei Stock Firmware b386 (see section 4 - How do flash firmware) It is not enaugh, just wipe with TWRP and flash the Rom!
D) If you are on Stock Firmware b387 (make just unroot - if you have Root - and do a factory reset) - but I think you can install this Rom just with the Wipes and without going back to b386
3) Flashable Firmware b386 c432 (for EVA-L09 and EVA-L19):
EVA-L09 c432 b386 Firmware update.zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v84450/f1/full/update.zip
data.zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v84450/f1/full/EVA-L09_hw_eu/update_data_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip
EVA-L19c432 b386 Firmware update.zip:http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v84770/f2/full/update.zip
data.zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v84770/f2/full/EVA-L19_hw_eu/update_data_full_EVA-L19_hw_eu.zip
4) How to flash Firmware - or GOING BACK TO STOCK:
The simplest, preferred method to flash b386 (In accordance with your device and model!) can be done with TWRP - whether you come from the b383 or b387, or from BlueWei or MagicRainbow v1 - but note, you cannot use this method to update from Android 6 to Android 7:
1) Backup your apps with data (only User Apps, no System Apps, no Chat-Apps - Chat Apps should not be restored - but new installed with Playstore and new registered, use integrated Backup from Chat-Apps)
2) Backup all important files and folders from your internal memory (DCIM, WhatsApp folder, Downloads etc)
3) delete you Fingerprint and Google Account
4) Copy update.zip and ...hw_eu/update_data_full_EVA...zip to your external SD (dont unzipp it and dont do it into dload folder)
5) Bootloader must be unlocked
6) Make sure that you enable in developer options OEM Unlock and 2) ADB Debugging and 3) USB Debugging - in this order (if its not enabled yet)
7) TWRP must be installed
8) Flash with TWRP (Huawei Firmware) update.zip - after it is flashed do not reboot - go back to main menu
9) Flash with TWRP hw_eu/update_data_full_EVA...zip - after it is flashed do not reboot - down in the left corner klick on "wipe dalvik and cache"
10) Do not reboot - go back to main menu - use Tab: Restart - but do not restart system - RESTART RECOVERY
11) You are now in Huawei Stock Recovery - from there make 1) Wipe Cache Partition and 2) Factoryreset and 3) reboot to system
12) Huawei Stock Firmware b386 is succesful installed :good:
13) I would recommend to flash now the Firmware b386 once again, but now with dload-method. For this you must 1) unzipp update.zip on PC and 2) unzipp hw_eu...data.zip in a separate folder.
14) Make a folder on your external SD with the name: dload - Copy first the unzipped file from update.zip into this folder - but ONLY the UPDATE.APP (not the other files)
15) With VOL+ and VOL- (press in the middle down) and PowerButton flash b386
16) After restart to system, delete update.app in dload folder and copy now the unzipped files from hw_eu...data.zip into dload folder - but now you need ALL files (update.app, META-INF and the data folder)
17) flash it with the 3 Button Method
5) Important information for using this TWRP:
Made by @OldDroid v 3.1.1-1 (currently latest TWRP): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545586361
A) Setup new flashed TWRP: allow system modification,
B) Open Settings Tab and configure the settings for your needs - example: I uncheck "prompt install TWRP app", I disable vibration and expand the screen timeout to 300 for seeing what TWRP shows me on screen, I set time zone and language...
C) Important in settings on last Tab - uncheck /disable "keep vendor partition mounted" - but leave ]enabled "exclude OEM-Path from data-wipe"
D) Have a look in main menu into Mount-Tab - For flashing Stock Firmware as shown above and for making Nandroid Backups with TWRP - you must not change anything in Mount!
E) But later, if you are ready to flash the ROM and you are going to wipe the partitions (explained below) - Immediately after the Advanced Wipe - before you want flash the ROM - you must go in main menu to: MOUNT and uncheck/disable everything in Mount - with the exception "Micro-SD" (this must be mounted!) If you dont do this step after wipe, before flashing ROM - the Rom would may not be flashed properly - and if so, it cannot work properly!!
6) Installing ROM
If you have MagicRainbow.zip already on external SD, do following steps:
Note: if you want boot sound to be played back in the future, then sound must be switched on before installing the Rom - if phone is in silent mode, there will be no boot sound in the future. Phone remembers the last status and this can not be changed afterwards!
A) In main menu of TWRP go to Wipe - do not use Factoryreset, use instead the Advanced Wipe
Wipe ONLY following partitions:
Dalvik / Art Cache
cache
Data
system
Do NOT wipe: vendor, internal memory, micro-SD
B) After wipe you navigate back to the main menu and open: Mount - uncheck all with the exception of Micro SD card! This is an important step - (especially vendor should not be mounted), since otherwise there will be errors in the installation. My script mounts itself, what it needs
C) Then navigate back to main menu and go to Install Tab - select MagicRainbow.zip and swype to flash
D) After flashing ROM, do not make a Wipe from Dalvik / Cache, just reboot. Reboot is relatively fast, but of course, the first boot takes a lot longer than usual - about 9 min
Differences during first boot: Classic-Edition interrupts the first boot process due to systemless rooting by SuperSU 2.82 SR1 and boot again - the Magisk edition does not need this additional loop.
7) Important for Magisk and Safetynet:
A) If you receive a root request during the first setup with Magisk Edition, please affirm it - no matter how strange it may seem to you!
B) After first setup dont open Magisk Manager and - before you doing anything else - go to settings and activate developer options.
Inside enable 1) ADB debugging and 2) USB debugging ( in this order! - not the other way)
C) After got to settings / expanded settings and enable in security: "unknown sources"
D) Immidiatly restart your P9 - this is an important step to keep safetynet green. After reboot you can open Magisk Manager.
E) Do not change anything in the settings or in the preinstalled module of Magisk - it is already set everything correctly! Also dont download module which you dont know for what they are and what they doing...
But I would recommend to download and install following two modules: Huawei Safetynet Fix and BusyBox 1.27.2
Please do it with following instruction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73733872&postcount=564
F) Do not activate in Magisk Manager settings systemless hosts!
AdAway does not need this setting to work!
G) Start AdAway, download and activate hosts and reboot your Phone. After reboot open AdAway again, hosts are not activated yet, download hosts again and reboot your Phone a second time. Now hosts are activated (green) and safetynet stays also green.
It is not much to say to the Classic Edition, which you know already from MagicRainbow v1 b383 - but 1) ADB Debugging and 2) USB Debugging USB must also be enabled after the first setup and then restart the device before you do anything else! If you open AdAway and download and enable hosts, reboot your Phone. After reboot open AdAway again. If hosts are not activated yet, install again hosts and reboot. After it will work, cause its configured by an init.d script.
8) Important information to PMPlus:
The app PMPlus activates "auto-launch" on second page in the Phone Manager - so you have a very powerful Autostart Manager, which would otherwise not exist. This is optional, however - if you want to be sure that everything works smoothly, and does not want to adjust everything manually here, leave your fingers off. Note: If auto-launch is activated in phone manager, you can not undo this change, just by reinstalling the Rom!
Whoever wants it anyway:
A) Simply start PMPlus and go to Install, after succesful installed messeage, close this app! Autostart Manager is activated now in Phone Manager!.
B) You can then delete the app PMPlus.
C) But please note : All Autostarts are set to 0 and you have to manually enable the most important apps in auto-launch
D) Magisk Manager must be enabled in auto-launch, in the Magisk Edition - if you do not enabel, Root cannot work!
E) SuperSU must be enabled in auto-launch - in the Classic Edition - if it is not enabled, Root cannot work!
F) In both Roms Chat-Apps which should receive push notifications - must be enabled in auto-launch - and some apps must also enabled in "App activation" - which is a part of "auto-launch"
9) Features and Information:
Callrecorder - for manual and automated call recording
Viper4Android - Advanced Settings /more settings / Viper4Android Installation-Pool from here you can install: None, old viper and new viper - after reboot you have the App Symbol on Homescreen. Open it to configure Viper4Android.
Classic Edition ROOTED with SuperSU 2.82 SR1
Magis Edition ROOTED with Magisk 13.3
AdAway as ad blocker - look at Point 7 for further information
BusyBox 1.27.1
System deodexed
KangV-Settings (Advanced Settings on Homescreen) in nougat style - with the 4in1 restart menu and much more ....
Titanium Backup - you can use external SD with storage SD-Card and dont need Document Provider
MiXplorer - powerful Root Explorer which comes with PDF Reader, VLC Codecs and Archive Plugin, change language in settings
Debloaded - almost GApps from system removed - but Core GApps are integrated - so dont flash any GApps - you can install missing GApps with Playstore.
Full access to the external SD You can work on external SD with enabled Full Permissions - Example: TitaniumBackup automatically selects the external SD as the preferred location.
Optional: Path to the internal memory interchangeable with the external storage! To do this, you only need to use MiXplorer and navigate to /data. There is a file with the name: SDPath - open this file with text editor of MiXplorer. At the moment, the internal memory is set as default (ext_SD = 0). If you change the entry to: ext_SD = 1 and save it, all apps will only use the external storage after one-time reboot. Before you install apps like WhatsApp, think about it. Because if you like that all Apps store media and everything only on your external SD then enable this option. Example: The folder of WhatsApp will be created automatically on external SD ....
10)Disable Statusbar Lunar:
The Rom is European, but the Advanced Settings are made by KangV. He comes from China, thats why the Lunar component is built into Advanced Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom). To disable the chinese letters, go to Advanced Settings /Notification settings and disable the checkmark "Show statusbar lunar"
One known BUG: Do not use the "hide navigation bar" in Advanced Settings, it works with chinese models like AL10 - but not europaen models at the moment.
11) Restore orignial Huawei Bootanimation (if you dont like my integrated one):

If you have in "About phone" build-number EVA-L09 or EVA-L19 b182c900 you dont receive the OTA Update to Nougat. You must change it to b182c432.
Here is described, what you have to do - please make every step careful and dont worry!

And you need for changing OEMinfo on b182 TWRP for Android 6 (not the one from OP = for Android 7) Download it here: [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767122229[/URL]
Steps:
1) Your Bootloader must be open! Backup important files or folder from your internal memory (cause it will be completely wiped, except external SD will stay untouched)
2) Firmware b182 must be in dload folder (update.app 3,06 GB) Take the one for your device For EVA-L09 download full Firmware b182: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v63880/f1/full/update.zip
EVA-L19 can use same b182 - the Firmware works for both.
3) Unzipp oeminfo.emmc.zip - you get: oeminfo.emmc.win - this is the file what you need!
4) Store this file in following path on root of your external SD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\SNxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\C432\ (SNxxx folder must named with Serial Number of your phone and inside this folder copy the oeminfo.emmc.win
5) Enable Developer Options in Settings, go inside and enable OEM Unlock and USB-Debugging - after go to Advanced Settings /Security and allow "Unknown Sources"
6) Connect your Phone with USB to PC and wait until Windows installs the driver.
7) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot program for PC in administrative mode - boot the phone into fastboot mode and flash TWRP for Android 6.

(TWRP img must be in Minimal ADB and Fastboot Program Folder. You start the Program with right click as Administrator. You enter
adb devices
- you should get your SN and device. If on the screen pop up a request to allow connection, grant permission for always from this PC. Now:
adb reboot bootloder
-phone restart into Bootloader /Fastboot Mode. Bootloader must be unlocked and FRP unlocked.
You enter:
fastboot devices
- and get SN device, then
fastboot flash recovery Name-of-TWRP.img
8) If TWRP is succesful flashed disconnect USB from your Device and boot immidiatly after into TWRP. For this press Vol+ and Power Button. Stay holding this position until TWRP is booted (can take some minutes)
When TWRP is booted, allow Write Permissions for system.
9) In main menu and choose the button: RESTORE
10) Navigate to the C432 folder and restore oeminfo. (from folder C432 !) This changes oeminfo from b900 to c432!
11) Go back to main menu and reboot your phone - but not to system. You must press Vol+ and Vol- (in the middle) down until EMUI Software Installing begin and b182 will flashed again (it must be in dload folder!) If you see on screen text with red colour - ignore it, just press Vol+ and Vol- down, if it does not help, press also Power Button to reboot, but keep pressing Vol+ and Vol- because b182 must flashed again on this point!
12) If it was not successful and you receive after reboot a white screen and you will be promted to enter "the" password, dont worry, just use your password for Google. Phone reboots and make a factoryreset with EMUI low-level wipe. TWRP will be overwritten with Stock Recovery. Thats normal.
13) soon flashing again b182 was successful you reboot to system and perform from there another Factoryreset from settings /advanced settings /backup restore /Factoryreset with wipe of internal storage.
14) SIM Card must be inserted - you can leave it in your phone from beginning.
15) Just make a short setup and you will see: You receive now the OTA Update to Nougat
reserved for future updates and changelogs
I'll try this ROM on my debranded L19C636B381, to test if finger print works, by next week.
Thanks for the ROM........
Why there are Chinese characters and Status bar Lunar in this European Firmware ?

... Because KangV is Chinese and he made this Advanced Settings and included it into this European Firmware based Rom.
You can disable it in Advanced Settings (=K-Settings) /Notification settigs. Uncheck "Show Statusbar Luna"
Look at Screenshots...

Please read OP #1 before asking questions which are already answered
Well, you have to go back to Stock Firmware first. If you don't do this Rom will work too, but without Fingerprint Scanner.
Everything is working only if you are make the steps before flashing.
0) Backup your stuff
1) download the firmware and data zip from Links in OP for EVA-L09.
2) install it how it's mentioned in OP
3) Make the necessary wipes. (and only this - see OP)
4) Flash Magic-Rainbow
ROM doesn't have any Virus! It's on actual security Patch Level
I have stock but only rooted

Yes, but you are on b378 and if you want to have full working nice Magic-Rainbow Rom, you must update to Stock b383 first as I have described in Original Post.
After you must do the Wipes I have told in OP.
Root is not necessary for installing my Rom
It's up to you...
I installed the rom and it is amazing
Everything is working perfectly
Thanks for this amazing rom
One question: anyone knows where bootanimation.zip is located??

Hello First thing you should do : Take the time to read slowly Original Post (OP) #1.
You will find the answer detailed for your question.
But in short words :
1) Download the b383 Stock Firmware related to your device which is linked in OP.
2) Backup your data and Apps and contacts etc.
3) Flash b378 Stock Recovery with ADB.
4) Unzipp downloaded Stock Firmware and update yours as described in OP to Stock b383.
5) After make the Wipe which is described in OP (and not another)
6) Flash Magic Rainbow
I wish you success and let me know and feel free to ask if something isn't clear

Of course, this Rom makes the Rooting with SuperSU, that's why you get the Error.
Some days ago I finished the development for this Rom. At this time, TWRP wasn't able to Root with Magisk.
But now it is!
I will release a Magisk Version of same Rom. But this week I have a lot of work - so I will do that probably during next week.
If you can wait for it
Great
Amazing rom ... all running perfectly for me.
K-setting is a great plus.
I'm testing all its features
Happiness is here.
Thank you for your hard work.
Can anybody please guide me through the process of rooting the xperia z2 [D6502]?
i have unlocked the bootloader. It is currently running on marshmallow.
All i need is root access.
To obtain the root on your Sony Xperia Z2, you will need to install ‘ADB Tools’ first. Then, you’ll need to go into the Developer Options of your Xperia Z2, enable USB Debugging and make sure that ‘Unknown Sources’ is enabled as well. From here, you can download the Community RootKit from the source link below and then follow these instructions.
– Plug in your Sony Xperia Z2
– Open a Command Prompt inside the folder with the rootkit and type RUNME.bat before pressing enter
– Read the instructions that you see appear in the command prompt and do what they say
– Reboot your device once it has completed and the device should be rooted.
Once your Sony Xperia Z2 has been rooted, you can install both SuperSU and Busybox from the Google Play Store and enjoy your freshly-rooted smartphone. Don’t forget to comment below and tell us your experience with the process, and your rooted phone.
