I have the Z5 (non premium nor dual sim) and i have flashed a few roms onto it aswell as formatted everything using twrp recovery and still get this annoying message every time i try and setup my fingerprint. "Unable to read fingerprint. please clear some space on the internal storage and try again" or something to that effect. when i check storage it says i have over 10GB available. any help would be greatly appreciated.
i dont even get the fingerprint option my z5 is very strange

Are you from the US? Or did you flashed a US Rom? Because the American Z5 hasn't the fingerprint option.
It ain't an hardware problem, cuz the power button is the same on every Z5 so I guess if you try to flash another Stock Rom it shall enable it?
iam in the uk dunno the rom i flashed says central europe
dunno but ill give it a try should i flash any uk firmware?
You can try to flash whatever Stock Rom you want except the US one whom hasn't the fingerprint enabled.
It may, (Once again am not sure at all but you can give it a try) it may enable you fingerprint sensor.
I'm French and my Z5 Runs on Marshmallow Stock Fr, my FP Sensor is working perfectly.
When you have successfully flashed a new stock Rom check on Settings > security > fingerprint manager (screenshot linked)
I'm just trying to help you and give you somes tracks to follow, but I'm not responsible if you broke/brick your phone

You tried to flash some custom Rom? How about trying to flash a stock one?
If it's not working try to wipe everything via flashtool.
If those two answers don't help you to fix your problem, I unfortunately don't know what you can do more

Yeah I've tried flashing multiple custom Roms. 3 variants of the stock rom. And have wiped the internal storage countless times with twrp. So I'm kind of at a loss now. Is there any other way to clear the storage on the phone without trwp? That's my only other thought since twrp may not be wiping that partition or section of data or what ever it may be
As I said use Flashtool to wipe everything, also if you have twrp I assume that you're root isn't it, so may be the problem can be here, a bad manipulation or if you haven't restored your DRM Keys it probably come from this.
I know that on Samsung phones when you loose DRM your fingerprint sensors is lost so perhaps it's the same thing for Sony?
I don't know but you should try to wipe everything and if you still have the backup of your DRM Keys try to put it back and see if it works

This is the screen that I am getting. The phone did this earlier at one point after flashing a custom rom then after a while it started working again. I have also made a backup of the keys for my phone.
I will give flash tool another crack this morning and see how it goes but I have done it before so I have very little hope.
So try this :
-Flash a stock Rom ftf file
- Restore the DRM Keys
-Try to set the fingerprint
I didn't root my phone yet so I don't know if you have to restore DRM before flashing a new stock Rom.
Either way I think you know how it works so try this and when it's done come back here to tell if it's OK or not, I'm following this topic until you're fixed don't worry

Not sure how this worked but i flashed the stock rom over a custom rom (XZ4 i think it was) but all of my apps are there and the fingerprint scanner seems to be working now.
Ok good news, so try it a few days and see how your z5 handle it.
To me it seems to be good now we will see with time

May be it wasn't your phone, but the ftf file who was corrupted?
Don't we get fingerprint reader on custom roms then just on stock?

I don't think so, what's the point of having a custom Rom without that feature? May be it depends on the ROM you're using?
I'm pretty sure that fingerprint exist in both Custom and stock ROM

I'm having an odd problem, and I'm not sure what to do about it.
This morning when I woke up, I noticed that there was a BusyBox update in my notification bar. Upon trying to update it failed.
So, I uninstall BusyBox, and try to reinstall it, but I'm met with a message that I don't have root access. Upon checking with Root Checker, I DO have root access. But, now all of a sudden, my wifi is not working, when it has worked flawlessly up to this point.
I'm not sure what to do. I don't have a nandroid backup to roll back to, and I need my wifi to work. Would doing a factory reset and flashing a new ROM solve this problem?

What ROM are you on...Gingerbread or ICS?
you must be on a custom rom or you on stock, rooted?
---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
ok need to go into CWM and flash these files, should correct it, I had this issue on a ROM dont recall which one or it might of been on a rooted stock....
but before you do anything.....
download these files and put them on your sd card of the phone, NOT THE EXT memory card, you are gonna flash them like you would a ROM ok, in cwm, you can flash them back to back while you are in CWM...kk
download this file first and flash this file first: FLASH ME FIRST
download this file second and flash it second: FLASH ME SECOND

I think MIUI occasionally loses recovery. Possible kernel issue.
Read through the thread to see if you can get some additional info.
I'm not sure if it has any bearing on your wifi..possible.
If you know how, you can try extracting the kernel from MIUI rom and reflashing just the kernel using SGS kernel flasher to retain your data.

I definitely don't know how to do that haha. I'm a noob when it comes to this whole game, although I'm slowly learning.
Do you think doing a factory reset, wiping everything, and then flashing a new ROM might fix my issue? I did want to try out one of the new ICS ROMs, so if that will fix my problem I might as well go ahead and try one of them out.
Flashing Uniporn seemed to have fixed my issue. I first re-flashed MIUI and that didn't solve anything, so I guess the issue was with MIUI? Just odd that the wifi would drop out after using it flawlessly for 4 months.
Oh well, got something new to play with again. Thanks for the help guys!

So I have the issue where after installing a new rom, i am missing the google service framework or gsf id key. with this missing i am unable to connect to the play store. so i would like to know if anyone knows where that key is stored so that i might manually add it in from my previous working rom install. not sure why it does not get generated after going through the install. only time it works is if i odin back to a stock rom, go through and reroot and unlock it and then flash a new rom. shouldn't have to odin stock to get this to work. i have tried literally everything. so if anyone knows where that key is stored after it is generated that would be helpful. thanks.

The key is randomly generate and you can't edit this key. you need to either factory reset or reflash rom for a new key.

Ah, now I see said the blind man, so you lose the ID every time you flash the ID. How about try the old Gapp, if I remembered correctly it will ask if you would like to replace the old ID with the new one and you have the option to pick the new one or keep the old one.

yes. i odin to stock, reroot, unlock, custom recovery. make sure play store works. then i reboot recovery and flash new rom. now if i want to change roms again, i should be able to just wipe data, cach and dalvik and flash the new rom and everything should work. but after going through setup and putting in my account stuff. which goes exactly as it should, i cannot use the play store because my phone has no gsf id key. so the only way i have to found to fix is go back to staock and start over.

yesterday I got it happened again: one of my sim cards suddenly lost signal. completely. and since then it keeps happening so randomly. please help!
im currently on oreo 41.3.A.2.75, BL unlocked, kernel packed by serajr's tool using ta_poc method with my own original TA, magisk installed, systemlessly xposed. i got it all working fine. until this issue happened.
i've also tried different ways: reflash, wipe data completely including sdcard, switch to DRMfix method, remove app by app, remove xposed... even switching SIM slots.... no luck so far.
about the issue, it just happens randomly without any clue. one of my SIM card just disappears. sometimes this one, sometimes the other. until now the only way is restart and pray it won't happen again.

it will, unfortunately. i tried almost everything except uninstall magisk, lose root and restore TA & stock image. maybe it will fix the problem but whats the point if we no longer have root right?
back to nougat it was running flawlessly so i have a doubt that it has something to do with the combination of oreo + magisk + ta_poc method but i have no idea.
in ta_poc method i see it executes something like ua_modem_switcher. does it has something to do with modem?

Yes, removing magisk will lead to loose root access. But we can keep SONY features with kernel and TA.
The idea is :
-trying running stock OREO without root
-then adding custorm kernel with or without TA (original or drm_fix)
-at least adding magisk
I guess we need to try each step for a while
Maybe Serajr will have an idea, on my side i will try these steps and report...
highly appreciate that. i will do some more testings on my side too. the point is, although i know it will happen eventually but it happens so unpredictably its not easy to reproduce.
it may sound odd but you're here so i can at least hope it is just a software problem not hardware.

I did that, many times. clearing cache and dalvik seems do the trick. but it actually doesn't. it will work for a few days and the issue will happen again. unfortunately.
by the way I spent some times paying high attention to the screen just to wait for it to happen. It looks like the moment when it happens, SystemUI (or Home Launcher I dont know) is terminated (stopped) then I am brought back to lock screen and at that moment, one of my SIM gone. So to me it looks like a service (or an app) is terminated and isn't restarted properly?
have you tried using stock rom and see if the problem persists?

@Pandemic hmmm im not saying i dont believe but how do you explain it runs just fine for days after restart? usually 2 3 days then it happens.
and like i said the moment when it happens it looks like the whole systemui and running apps get force stopped.
lets say im playing a game then it becomes a bit laggy like its running out of memory then everything just closed then im brought back to lock screen and one of the signal indicator on status bar disappears.
do you happen to know any command that can restart the modem / cell / signal service? or any services related? just wanna try to manually execute it see if it fixes it.
also wanna mention again that im using ta_poc method for the drm sh!ts and it does have something like ua_modem_switcher executed. no idea whether it could be related
Hy guys, juste a quick update, my phone was working fine until 2/3 days. I've removed magisk but problem still happening, even clearing cache and dalvik didn't fixed it. My guess is, it could it be app related or crash due to RAM to high (my ram usage average is about 2.5 Go/day)...
Hi guys,
I have the same issue on a Note 4 (sm-n910f)....
I have been flashing roms in a long time and this is the first time it happens to me.
For me, the phone shows some lag, it auto restarts and the signal is lost. I can get it back by clearing delvik and cache, but this will happen at least twice a day.
I flashed stock and the problem goes away, does not happen even once on stock. So this tells me its not a hardware issue (i was so close in thinking its a motherboard issue)...
From reading various threads on this, i get to the conclusion that it is not device specific.
I have flashed half a dozen roms and only stock eliminates the issue. I stayed on stock for 3 days no issue, then reflashed lineage 15.1 and the problem is back. The really weird part is that this happened suddenly, not after a new flash or any operation on the phone.
Anyone figured this out?

News :
Starting today, i'll just upload the firmware if it has a change in it.
So you know there's no need to update the firmware if there's no change in it, save the hassle.
Tips :
* I've added checksum file for each firmware-only files in google drive, so you guys can see what's changed on every firmware-only release.
* If you experience sim card not detected after flashing firmware, don't worry, it's normal. do this, plug out and plug in your sim card tray, and restart your device.

I've tried it a couple of days ago. There are some visual changes like new notifications panel UI, recents UI, In-call UI etc. A bit more IOS-ish as some say.
First of all, if you consider flashing it;
- You need the Raupe/Blunden twrp to flash it, other recoveries end up with error 7.
- After flashing this build; twrp will ask for a decrypt password and no password will be correct. So your internal storage won't be mounted on twrp no way to fix it at the moment.
- Magisk 16.4 is able to root it, don't know about previous ones.
- If you consider flashing other roms, you have to do factory reset(format data) to get your internal be able to mount on twrp again.
- It doesn't have google apps as it's China specific, so you need to install google apps manually by Google installer apk or there are zip files for miui 10 ported gapps which give force closes randomly.
- Can be a daily driver since all is working.
- Xposed won't work.
Other than these hick ups, it's good initial build. Fast and smooth, can't tell about battery life since I haven't used it for a long time. There are secondary releases(8.6.5) for some devices so can be around for Mix too. Cheers.

I'm willing to give this a shot, thanks for the input ??
Ok trying it now and everything seems to be working good. A little laggy at the moment so I'm just letting it set in. I was hoping the camera would've gotten updated but same old crappy camera software from previous MIUI firmware. Hopefully when they do release the final version we'll get a updated camera but all in all this is a keeper till we get updated version on here, hopefully...

Haven't tried that but I'll look into it today and report back.

Ok going through settings and as far as I can tell I don't see face unlock feature. I highly doubt the mix will get seeing as how old it is now, I never use it anyway on other devices so it's not a big deal to me. Everything is running very smooth and fast, I'm liking the Android P style look a lot, more than how it looks on the pixel but that's just me.
How did you go past decrypt after flashing via TWRP?

You just cancel it and internal storage will be unable to use on twrp. If you flash other things, you need to do it by an OTG.

Oh yes yes, I always use OTG just in case. Thanks for the info.
I installed it, but I keep loosing the recovery, when I reboot it goes to the Miui recovery.
Is there a way to disable the factory recovery overwriting the twrp.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i think you should flash this file in twrp :
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
after that the recovery shouldn't get replaced anymore.
That's weird I don't have any issues seeing my storage in TWRP, everything works.

really? can you show us the screenshot of the storage in twrp? what twrp version did you use? what other procedure did you perform in order not to encrypt storage? thanks
Thanks. That seems to have worked.

You need to delete
- system/etc/recovery-resource.dat
- system/bin/install-recovery.sh
- system/recovery-from-boot.p

i think he should need to format his Data and Internal Storage.
i can't remember the detail, but i once encountered this too, and i read that something about F2FS not supported or whatsoever.

It's weird I didn't format anything, just updated twrp, backed up my rom, wiped everything, installed new miui 10, installed magisk, wiped cache and dalvik and everything works perfectly...
Dont use noble nougat ! Use ultimate nougat under the unified development . There are 3 different versions either one is okay. Everything works on ultimate nougat but noble lags a good bit.
Each one has a description on what it does and has. All are bebloated + custom tweaks. Check them out. Any touchwiz rom should work. As long as ported to sg g920f.
You have to be on nougat stock firmware. At least thats all ive tried. You can try on 5.1 as long as you follow my guide. Go to this site - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-nougat-s6-verizon-t3710864 and download the files he has on his post. Thats how you root on nougat.
If you are on nougat, switch to bootloader mode, open odin, and click on ap and select the eng root. Then reboot and go to settings/security and tick unknown sources. Then extract the unroot file you downloaded and run the file that says root.bat and give your phone a few minutes. It will restart and supersu will be installed. If it doesnt work the first time try again
Now you need to download flashfire. And download the custom touchwiz rom you want. Again you can find them under unified developement. And gapps if you want. I use aroma installer to pick what apps i want to be system apps.
Once you are rooted have supersu and flashire, youll need to set you year on the date back to 2013 or flashfire wont open correctly. It does that on my phone atleast you can try it out. When u have flashire open click on the + at the bottom right and click flash zip or ota. Click on the ron youve downloaded and then select the box next to mount system read and write . Then press the + button again and add a wipe action. Just leave it on what it automatically tics. Make sure you hold down on the wipe action before hitting the flash button at the bottom and put it above the rom installation. So youre phone restores first. Do not tick internal storage on the wipe action you will brick your phone bc no sd card.
Flashfire should take you through an aroma installer for the rom depending on the one youve downloaded. Make sure to pick g920f kernel.
Go through chek what you want and then install. As long as you hit the mount system read and write button on the wipe action back in flashfire it will install and not get stuck on %20 or %25. Once its done let it reboot your phone will come to a crash screen. A blue one with a warning sign saying software failure or something. You need to hold the power button volume down and homd button until it cuts off. The do the same thing to turn it on in download mode and flash the eng root file in ap again from odin and your phone will boot. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to boot.
I installed xposed and all kinds of other tweaks to this rom as well. Let me know how it works out for you . Im going to upload photos in the replies.
Able to flash and open twrp but no function.
Just Google a touchwiz rom ported to galaxy s6 and follow my instructions. I've tried 2 others. Everything seems to be working other than if you are not rooted there is intense lagging from time to time.
I have some questions, is this on 5.1.1 rooted with mrmikes root? Is the rom pre-rooted? Is it debloated? And does it have s health?
this needs a more in-depth description, when i tried it, i flashed it on 5.1.1, i got to the setup of the rom, i chose the international s6, i didnt know which one to choose, then the CSC variant, i chose one of them which had a description like "multi us, it started installing, it got to 25%, then the screen just went black, i opened rootatboot, it succesfully worked, but my phone screen is still black, what are we supposed to do?

Sorry i updated my op check it out ^^
And if you have black screen then boot to odin mode and flash nougat. I know for sure it works on there. And if you follow my steps i suggest using ultimate nougat note fe rom. Its bloatware free and smooth as butter. Has aod edge screen and alot more tweaks.

For me the note fe rom downloads at 700kb/s why? roms usually download at like 7-8 mb/s
Not able to do it, When i flash stock nougat with odin, it gets stuck on the galaxy s6 logo after reboot. Then i factory reset and wiped cache partition, and its still stuck there. So i had no choice but to downgrade to 5.1 again. Now i flashed the pre rooted official nougat rom with flashfire, and once i was on nougat i was gonna flash the custom rom. But, when you try to flash something in flashfire on the pre rooted nougat rom it gives me an error saying an unknown error has occured. Now im back at rooted 5.1. Help anyone?

Would you like me to upload a backup of my rom that you can just flash in flashfire? Or post a video of me showing how to do this.

I'd reccommend video and flashfire, you can make a video of how to do it and make it easier by flashing it in flashfire, so a tutorial on how to flash it on flashfire correctly.
Followed the procedure but flashfire just remains blank on boot... why?

Did you check the box that said mount system read and write when clicking on the file to flash ? And did you add a wipe action before adding the rom ? And are u rooted with super su ?

yes... followed everything to the letter. Was having issues with the flashfire but i downloaded the pro apk and it acquired root permission without crashing... I used flashfire .57 pro to flash the pre rooted rom but the flashfire in the pre rooted rom also crashed after aquiring root so I uninstalled it and downloaded the .73 pro apk and that worked but it doesn't flash the rom no matter what options I choose. Tried so many combinations... I put the wipe before the flash and i also tried vice versa, tried with flash procedure set to normal, recovery, download and all still came out with the same outcome = Blank flashfire with 2015-2017 screen. So i just restart the device and everything is normal. Using the pre rooted rom for now

Okay do everythig you did again but before opening flashfire you need to turn off wifi. Go to settings and date and time. Turn off automatic date and time and set year to 2013 then re open and use flashfire. That was my original problem.
I've tried everything to get mobile data and service to work that is the only bug but makes this thread a complete bust until I can find a work around or fix for it.

I use my s6 as a backup phone but something is wrong with my s7 so i use my s6 more, and i dont use a verizon sim so i use my s6 with no sim. So, if you can, can you make still make a video for it? other people who flash it might find a way to get service to work.
