Hi, just picked one up (EDIT CORRECTED TO e6603) and am looking to keep the bootloader locked and simply enable the sensor then update to nougat.
Can I safely flash ftf firmware for the e6653 to get it working?
If you own D6603 (Xperia Z3), there's no easy way to get the fingerprint sensor working - simply because it doesn't exist.

Does the fingerprint sensor not work? If it is disabled in your firmware, there must be a reason; I wouldn't flash firmwares from other variants.

It is disabled by all USA firmwares. I will wait for someone who can confirm flashing another firmware. Thanks!

If you're familiar with flashtool then you can try it, it says that it was successful:
Here's the thread describing how it's done:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/e6653-flash-e6603-firmware-enable-t3307158
You may try this but please note that "Do it on your own risk"
Make sure also to make a backup of your data/files
Hi
I have had my XZ for about a month now after an Xperia Z3 Compact. With the Z3C it took a little while before developer achieved root on locked bootloader with confirmed backup of any TA-data. I seem to remember that there was a bounty up for grabs for a while as well.
However. I see no such efforts being made to the XZ... The only option is to unlock the bootloader and thus void your warranty. The warranty is never a problem with a locked bootloader as I've had my old Z3C in for service a few times without any problems....
From what I've been able to find out, there are not many vulnerabilities in any of the XZ kernels that can be used to get root. And any other weaknesses I haven't been able to find either.
A last resort would be to try K*ngo Root just to be able to install a recovery and backup the TA partition. Ugly, but if it would work you'd just flash a fresh romantic over it and it would be gone.
Anyone with other ideas out there?

Until now... the only way to get XZ rooted is unlocking bootloader (if you XZ support it) ... Before do it is recommendable that you make a TA backup (Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2)... to make TA backup you need Marshmallow (downgrade if you are on Nougat).

Hey y'all!
Would anyone know how to get the fingerprint sensor working on a Sony Xperia xz premium G8142 US Customized Android 9? I know you can by flashing a foreign firmware but would like to just flash a certain part of the foreign firmware to keep my firmware as US Customized to keep Volte and wifi calling on t-mobile.
Thank you

I have the exact same question, that's the only thing holding me back to flash the us firmware. I have seen a tutorial on Reddit on Android 8 but I want to see what do the other people does first.
I would flash the central Europe version instead but I don't know the codename I think it is CE right?
CE1 is the correct generalized firmware wanted. If someone can figure out how to enable fingerprint on the US firmware that would be fantastic. I would love VoLTE and WiFi Calling alongside Fingerprint
I was able to do it, what I did was take certain files from CE1- put them into a new folder along with Newflasher and Partition folder and flash it...…..
I'll try and find the guide for you..

Just make sure you download the same version - firmware , you can't use .16.20 for .235 firmware .. has to be the same

From what I seen that guide is incorrect. What you want to do is only install the libraries that enable the sensor. I have flashed the customized US version and I'll extract those libraries from another build that enables FP and make it a flashable zip.

Any other way? Trying to stay stock unrooted and bootloader locked so I don't have to hassle with the DRM stuff.

Lol well what they said is true keeping drm keys is no longer important Sony doesn't require us to fake them anymore. Camera and Netflix work perfect in Pie. But unfortunately you'll need root as it modifies the system even if I created a prebuilt modified system the device verifies system on boot and you can only disable that by unlocking the bootloader.

You may want to post the steps to unlock so any developers if any can possibly work on a recovery.
Not sure. It state L29. I think it is international or global version.
It came unlock when I got it. Let me ask how they manage to unlock the bootloader.

Hope we dont get penalized for being early adopters (maybe like htc cid change?) Hardware should be the same right?
Stupid and probably unlikely to work but can we restore the UK backup? The hisuite has rom flashing in it natively also.... There's also an option internally to flash/upgrade

May have to go the funkyhuwaei route and try to rebrand. However I'm not sure it's possible with a locked bootloader.

This unit is a beta prototype for testing/developer and hence it is not locked. The actual commercial set will be locked.
This option is possibly shown due to prototype while I was exploring the phone. My apologies and hope that clarify

All the digging I have been doing working on the unlock I came accross this service menu.I have not seen it poasted anywhere yet online. I don't know if this can help yet in anyway to get sim unlock but it does let you unlock different LTE bands and many more. Try it out on stock rom. *#*#866#*#*
And it's not even a 5g model
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very cool find!!!!!
Indeed.
Now, what can we unlock safely?

There is no 5G radio in the device. The software for it, if there was a 5G radio, is built in to Android.
