Every once in a while the fingerprint scanner would stop working for no apparent reason until I reboot. I'm rooted with repacked stock kernel /w DRM patch + xposed (see attachments).
It could be possibly related to xposed... Give it a try without

I have the same issue only in one instance - after long time playing Marvel Future Fight (I'm uninstalling Xposed app before and restore after playing - game has Xposed detection). I assume that makes it possibly related to heavy CPU usage or temperature rise?
Issue was not present on Lollipop with the same setup (game + Xposed tricks).
I have the same issue.
It appears sometimes at morning, after night, and I must reboot the phone.
Note : I haven't Xposed since my last reset, the 4th April.
To add to the above, another freshly installed game triggered it, but it barely uses any rescources.
I have the same issue on my Z5C after upgrading to Marshmallow. I'm on 32.1.A.1.163, use Xposed and the androplus kernel 3.10.84-v21. Perhaps it's fixed in the .185 version of MM?
same issue, z5 dual, mm, rooted and DRM restored, xposed frame installed.
seems it is too hurry for us update to MM this time, i've encounterd some many bugs and failures.
For people who are encountering the problem, do you keep your bootloader unlocked or you relocked it after flashing the repacked stock kernel? It could be an issue with the DRM fix.
I'm probably removing the DRM fix and lock my BL this weekend to see how it goes.

I'm having this issue to on Aura's ROM Z5P Dual - looking forward to hearing your results!
I'm having this problem on stock 32.1.A.1.163 without root or xposed, but unlocked bl. I have to reboot and sometimes re-authenticate my fingerprint in LastPass
I wonder if @tobias.waldvogel would know something? It sounds like this is related to the DRM Keys. As far I I know Auras' rom has this baked into it but there might be something missing!
Also experiencing this. I have freshly flashed .185 and Z5 Compact. Unlocked BL, DRM fix and no root.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Doze. Seeing a lot of Nexus 5x and Nexus 6p users complaining about this as well, and some theorizing it has to do with doze. I undozed the 3 items related to fingerprint scanner in battery optimization....we'll see if that helps.
Now I think this is an AOSP issue rather than Sony's fault

Hi
I can confirm that this is not related to xposed as i have freshly flashed my Z5 DUAL E6683 with latest MM .185, rooted with drm fix from @tobias.waldvogel, and have not flashed xposed just yet.
This happened to me today for the first time just after i was listening to youtube video in shazam, then shazam crashed. few minutes later i try to unlock my phone and it says fingerprint hardware not available.
Not sure why this is happening? im pretty sure this is a bug in MM, as rebooting sorted the issue out. i really hope this doesnt happen again because the fingerprint is very handy!.
anyone else find a fix for this??
Since "undozing" the 3 items related to fingerprint scanner in Battery optimization, I have not seen this happen again.

considering buying an S7 but my question is
are there many apps with root detection these days? i heard that rootcloak cant hide root from all apps
i love root but i still want to be able to use all my apps
I'm pretty sure rootcloak simply doesn't work ever since Lollipop (unless they've now figured out how to do that in a recent update).

I have it running on my gf phone which is currently on cm12.1
Though i wouldn't say it's working on all apps, it does work fine for most.

I personally have never had any problems with apps that should have root detection ( like snapchat). There are some workarounds for these kinda problems, but if you don't want to through the hassle of doing them, then there is an xposed module called "XTouchWiz" that can fake your phone status to official so some apps might believe it's official not rooted.

Good to know. It was a while since I checked it, and back then there was no mention of Lollipop or Marshmallow support.

Hello all,
I read a lot of stuff here about root but I couldn't find an exact answer to what I look for.
I would like to know if rooting:
1. Loses the fingerprint?
2. If xposed Amplify really helps improving the standby drain or other xposed app. (at the moment I am sitting at between 0.8%-1.1% / hour overnight and I find it unacceptable)
3. Main disadvantage if rooted (besides loosing warranty because I don't care)
thank you.

1. No you will not lose the fingerprint sensor, even custom kernels have now fingerprint support.
2. Yes it does, I'm using it and I couldn't be any more happier.
3. The main disadvantage is that when an update arrives, then the only way to update is via smart switch ( a pc application) and you will have to re-root after that, though I don't consider it as a problem.
A big thanks to you kid xda user.
Cheers

I thought after knox is tripped there's no way to get an ota update, does smart switch wipe the phone and install a new firmware or just update without wiping?

It basically installs a new firmware, but I think it doesn't wipe your apps or pictures, but root will be gone and besides the Knox flag, your phone will return to official status.

Cf autoroot with Knox tripped
The international version of the S7, the Exynos-based SM-G930F, can be rooted e.g. using the CF auto root kernel.
I'm not aware your SM-G930T (T-Mobile USA) already can.

Hi,
I'm considering investing in a Xperia XZ, however, I wish to unlock its bootloader in order to root it and also install Xposed.
I remember, back in the days of the Z3, unlocking your sony device meant giving up on some camera features.
Do you know if it is going to be the case with this model ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Azsde

Yes it's still the same, loss of bravia engine, x-reality, it effects camera performance in low light conditions and probably more. There's no way to back up the ta keys on any of the x range currently and probably never will be either so once you unlock the bootloader there gone forever one of the reasons why my xa remains stock still after 3mths made the mistake of loosing ta keys before won't be doing it again.
You'll need to use a modified kernel with the drm fix.

Thanks for the explanation.
Is there any reason to backup ta keys if the modified kernel has drm fixed?
If I recall correctly, the T-Mobile Z3 had a locked bootloader, but could still be rooted. No keys or features were lost. So it may be possible with the XZ.

Yeah, but it requires a security flaw, and still prevents me from installing a custom recovery and xposed
You can use the towelroot to exploit the XZ from what I've read however will be trying this later to confirm.
Exploits will come just a matter of time for one to be made .

Recently bought this XZ first handed but without any UBL or rooting it comes with a horrible memory leak (>95% average RAM usage and Android System (Native, Kernel, Caches) accounts for almost half of the reading)...
I am assuming that Device Encryption should be the cause for this behaviour but I just don't want to reset my data just to disable Device Encryption..
Are there any of you people also have this problem on .35 and apart from resetting my phone is there and other measures I call take to control this leak?
Thanks!

Hi guys, new proud owner here since today Hoping that we get root soon!
I noticed that the system updates seem mandatory and I can't find a way to disable them. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier system version in case of stability issues or for future root reasons?
I searched but couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance!

You can already get root via unlocking bootloader. If you want root without it I think you can forget it.
All previous models require bootloader unlocked and XZP is no different.
You can downgrade and upgrade as you please, but if you wonder if you can go to Marshmallow then the answer is no.
Only XZ had Marshmallow, XZs launched with Nougat and so did XZP.
Awesome thanks! Time to upgrade and factory reset then before I set everything up.

Edit: I realize there is root, but from what I understand there's the drm issue, so no root with active noise cancelling etc?

There's some features that gets disabled when drm keys gets lost yea, the camera for example but I use Snap Camera which in my opinion is superior to Sony camera.
It can take pics in full resolution and have tons of settings. Of course, a drm fix would be optimal but I'm superhappy with root.
As for audio, I couldn't hear any difference between unlocked and locked but then again I use viper4 audio mod via magisk.
I love it.
