Upgrading Xperia Z5 Dual from 32.1.A.1.185 to 32.2.A.0.224 without loosing ROOT?

This week sony release the new upgrade build for MarshMallow 32.2.A.0.224. I am currently using build 32.1.A.1.185 with ROOT ACCESS which I did using this ROOTING GUIDE for XPERIA Z5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3354307
I have read here in on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/root-partially-upgrade-to-32-2-0-224-t3391235 , that one of the guys upgraded to this new build without loosing ROOT ACCESS to his Z5. All I wanted to ask should I continue like him Upgrading from my PC/PHONE to the new build without loosing root access or is there going to be some long lengthy UPGRADING GUIDE for this new Z5 Build.?:silly::crying::cyclops:

It's easy. Why don't you just flash your Firmware and your Kernel with Recovery again and install SuperSu again? Or you might try FlashFire by Chainfire

But what do you mean by Flashing and kernel with Recovery?:crying::silly: I mean I know about Flashing and all this recovery stuff. But please can you elaborate further on what you said ? I will be thankful to you

Well, you do almost exactly the same as in the guide, but you leave out the drm backup Part (not the restore part) and you dont use the firmware version in your guide, you use the newest one avaliable which you can download with xperifirm

Ahan .. Got it .... :good::silly: .. Did you try this method? Maybe the newer build might have some kind of security feature that this old guide will fail to address and thus ending up with NON-ROOTED Upgraded MarshMallow. I am optimistic about the return of Sony' STAMINA MODE. Thats why I want to upgrada ASAP because this current DOZE MODE of MM itself is sucker and doesnt deliver as it is advertised

I think what ali112 said makes sense, the only question I have is wouldn't we require an updated version of the kernel too?
This hasn't been updated yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp3-0-z5-adv-stock-kernel-2016-03-t3333829
And from what I see, this one had a SIM detection error (haven't tried it myself): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/32-2-0-224-ftf-rootable-kernel-t3391071/page4

It's easy to upgrade, download the latest . ftf extract the kernel and prepair it as before, flash the new .ftf with flashtool without wiping any, then flash the new prepaired kernel with fastboot.
This worked for me
/MKL

Yes, MKL is right. Mantis is right. I havent read the whole guide, I thought it includes the extraction of the kernel and patching it. Alternatively you could use AndroPlus Kernel v31 or higher

Don't be too exciting for stamina mode. It is really bad... I mean it disables all animations....

Root?

Why it's almost impossible for us to have the root with the locked bootloader.? Since the day the mobile went out till now it wasn't possible ?, so is there a chance?

Nope highly unlikely, since dm-verity security was introduced on the z3+ all xperia devices after this require a unlocked bootloader for root. A modified system just won't boot up.

so after the searches, I did I found out the following:
1- first, since I'm on android 7.0 I need to downgrade to 6.0 in order to backup my TA ! wich I can do via Flashtool
2- I do the backup
3- I root the phone and restore the backup I did
4- I upgrade to android 7 and then I'm good to go!
my questions:
1-what will I lose after unlocking the bootloader? and if I restored the TA backup will that count as if i didn't unlock the bootloader?
2- how I will root the phone? with a custom kernel or is there any other way? and if with a kernel any advice?
3-shall I do the root before upgrading to android 7? or before? and will I be able to still get updates after the root? or i will have to do it through Flashing Ftf of the new updates?
4-anyone is running Xposed framework?
thanks so much in advance ))

im not sure what we lose after bootloader unlock.. From what i read on the androplus kernel thread, if you use androplus there is some amount of drm functionality restored. there is no clear consensus from what i have read, and being a ex-Z3 user im still paranoid about this as in Z3 without the DRM camera is basically ****.
no xposed for nougat yet - so that's out of question.

For every upgrade (via SONY's FTFs):
1. Flash FTF via Flashtool
2. flash suitable recovery and AndroPlus kernel (look in this forum and follow the instructions on AndroPlus' website)
3. boot into recovery, flash SuperSU and whatever you need
There should be a possibility to flash the devicekey (not the whole TA-partition!) to another partition to get the whole DRM-enchillada back. That does not work for me since it is not included in the FSC as of today.

2 see above, rinse and repeat for every new SONY Rom
3 same answer, since the modifications are overflashed by installing/flashing another ROM

there is no Xposed for Nougat ATM

Thanks for your time and effort, well the reason I wanted the root is for the xposed and for the adblock only and since there's no xposed support yet I think it's not necessary to lose what I may lose just for the adblock ? thanks again

[Kernel][Stock 5.1.1] Manjuu Kernel for Sony Xperia C3 D2533 / D2502

This is a stock kernel for the Xperia C3 D2533 and D2502 running stock 5.1.1 firmware.​
I am learning from scratch in my free time so updates will be very slow or non-existent, please bear with me until then. Right now I only have a kernel image which must be flashed through ADB (you need to look up in the forums here to install it), nothing else is needed.
Make sure your phone's bootloader is unlocked and has a working recovery, use this guide to do it if you haven't done so.​
Basic requirements:
Phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked
You have a working recovery for your device
You know how to backup and flash images/kernels with TWRP
ADB and Fastboot works perfectly in your computer and phone
You know how to use ADB and Fastboot, otherwise Google it
Install instructions
Just flash the zip file through TWRP, it will take a minute or two to finish up. If you're using Magisk, you need to reflash the Magisk zip to patch the new kernel.
Download link
Manjuu Kernel v5
Changelog:
V5
- Remove Linux patch (It was the wrong way to patch this kernel and will cause conflicts)
- Revert commits from another kernel (also caused some conflicts and increased battery drain)
- Added SafetyNet patch
- This is not tested. Please flash UnSU, the kernel, then Magisk. Right now Magisk v12 will result in high CPU usage, use v11.6 instead. You will trip SafetyNet if you have Xposed or SuperSU in your device.​
Older changelogs:
V4
- Downgrade Intelliplug to 4.0 for better compatibility
- Cleaned up some coding
- Merge some bugfix and improvements (Refer to github commits)
- Now that we have a flashable zip, driver modules are added as well
V3
- Update Intelliplug to 5.0
- Added overclock to 1600Mhz
- Some compilation optimizations
- General kernel bugfix (refer to github commit)
- Update linux kernel to 3.4.5
V2
- Added Intelliplug hotplug
- Added KCAL support (get control app from here)
V1
- First build with Linaro GCC toolchain

Make a backup of your boot.img with TWRP, copy the backup file also into your PC then try flashing it. This might break recovery so be prepared to reflash them if it won't boot. Let me know if it succeeds/fails.
Nobody has yet to tell me about D2502 so this could be a chance to test it out, thanks.

Basically better performance, and better battery life. It also fixes a few bugs here and there, so hopefully it's also more stable.

Weird, it should work. Try renaming the file to kernel.img and the change the name in the command line as well.
When you installed the fastboot drivers, did you disable signature​ verification in windows first? If not, google how to do it then reinstall drivers and reboot.
If it's still not working try using TWRP instead.

Hi, well thats grt that this kernel works fine. But you mentioned about some rom(Xperia m2 Xperianze z2 rom) working in xperia c3 with this kernel. Can u please give the link to it. Xperia c3 dual do not have any custom rom till date. If the rom given by you works then you will be a God to al the xperia c3 users. I tried to search the rom u mentioned but I found nothing.

Since TWRP is not official for Xz2c, you will need to rely on custom builds, or build your own. Only one I know of for O is here - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603893744 - by @MartinX3. It's for a different build, but I think you should be able to update build without wiping data, and be OK. He also has a corresponding ftf here -

Ftf is the flashing file that contains all of the information and files to flash a stock rom on your phone.
To root, just flash the ftf, and then follow the instructions in MartinX3's recovery thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-touch-recovery-t3821597.
To flash the ftf, you need to use Flashtool by Androxyde or Newflasher. They each have their own threads with instructions / support.
If you use Flashtool, you'll need this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../flashtool-android-pie-52-x-fsc-file-t3896454

You really should read up on the process since bricking a handset is really easy, and your questions show a lack of understanding. TWRP is not a ROM, TWRP is a RECOVERY. Your phone has a bootloader, a recovery and a ROM (the operating system). You can only change operating systems (a different ROM or a rooted ROM) by changing the recovery which enables flashing ROMs, and you can only change the recovery by unlocking the bootloader. Screwing up any of those steps can brick a handset.
XDA is chock full of information and the poster above gave you directions for several helpful threads. Read these carefully and most of your questions will be answered.

Realme C21Y (RMX3261,RMX3263,RMX3262) kernel source, boot.img....

Hello and welcome​NOTICE:This thread will be modified when new files are available.
Manufacturer: Rea*me
Device: Realme C21Y
Chipset: UNISOC T610
DEVICE CODENAME: RMX3263,RMX3261,RMX3262
Currently available files:
pre-built kernel(zImage) boot.img
device-tree.dtb(device tree blob)
device-tree-source.dts(device tree source)
kernel-configuration file, sepolicy, prop.default
EDIT:finaaaaally Rea*me released the kernel source for this device, I think it is time for you to compile !
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realme_C21Y-AndroidR-kernel-source/
unfortunately as you see, there is no kernel source and also a way to unlock the bootloader, the files are somehow not very important but maybe in the future they will be.
actually, you can build any custom rom for this device using the prebuilt kernel(zImage), without kernel source by using TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL="Path to zImage" variable, if you understood that's good, if not just search for it, then when you got the zip file you can use sp research tool to flash the built from source rom with a locked bootloader, because it is the only way to flash this phone's files with locked bootloader, these are the instructions that you'll need to do(please note that this is a theory only, i didn't test it and i am not responsible for bricked devices, at your own risk !):
Get the phone's stock rom for example from this link: https://romprovider.com/realme-rmx3263-flash-file-firmware-free/
then install the sp research tool(you need to use this one specifically, the sp flah tool works just in the factory): https://androidmtk.com/download-spd-research-tool
Link: then using this link follow the steps until you replaced the stock system.img to the GSI's system.img one.
then just flash it using the tool and you will success to flash the GSI rom.
Next the file device-tree-sorce.dts is the device tree source file.
To get the boot.img, download the boot.zip below, extract it and you'll have it, if you want to modify boot.img download AIK tool: then run the shell script on the boot.imh file(you can do it only in Linux).
well we hope we will find a way to unlock the bootloader, because it's the key for doing everything.

Have you tried realme Deep test App to unlock the bootloader.

Hey I was thinking of flashing the proton AOSP GSI on Realme C21Y. I have checked that realme c21y has Treble SUPPORT so I thought if you can give it a try if you happen to have a realme c21y available.
Here are the links of file and tutorials that I intend to follow .
Tutorial.
GSI ROM link : https://github.com/haridhayal11/treble_proton_aosp/releases/

The problem is that you can't unlock the bootloader. Not about installing a GSI.

The command failed .

The problem is that the device's community is dead. You can't find a griup or something like that to discuss.
Unfortuanately, i don't own that device anymore.

Yeah...I guess you're right.
It was a bad decision to buy THIS smartphone.

Unlocking the bootloader requires a key from the company.
I'll give you an advice: don't buy realme,vivo,oppo or whatever company exept samsung , xiaomi oneplus if you plan to install a custom rom...
I have a galaxy a20e and it is awesome i am using android 12.1 now (ofc custom rom)

Thanks for the reply,
One more question, why is that every GSI that is loaded by this method has some kind of audio problem..
Without audio , this is almost a deal breaker....
Is there any method to use headphones on booted GSIs ??

Greetings, the problem with the headphones is partly related to the vendor, which is natural for A11, but for A12 and A13 it is not yet available, or rather it needs to be updated for this, which is comparable to know very well Same Kotlin.

They told to change the boot file...
But I am not sure...whether it is safe or not ...

I don't own this device anymore, i tried all what i can to unlock bootloader and customize phone, but that was 8 months ago, i don't know if there are some new methods.
