XZ rom on xzs - Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers

H! i was wondering if we can flash xz android on xzs. Also what happens if i flash G8231 ftf on G8232?
Thanks in advance

In my opinion, most parts are same. CPU, Bluetooth, WLAN and so on. Only the camera needs separate driver. The version of Android are same. It's OK and the benefits will be a stable ROM.
The difference of the version are only more space on internal storage and a dual sim. No really much difference to needs a separate ROM image.

Thank you! I was thinking to downgrade to a xz rom and root without unlocking bootloader

I think that it should work. Everything seems to be same as in XZ, everything except camera, but for the moment it's not needed.
So It should be possible to Flash 6.0 for XZ, backup TA and than Unlock Bootloader without worrying about warranty.
However I'm not sure how You want to Root without unlocking as it's not possible on XZ?

The good thing with android MM is that i can backup TA before unlocking

You have to try it out for yourself. It should work and you should be able to backup your TA partition. Worst case scenario you can just reflash it back to stock XZs firmware with flashtool.

I tryed to flash xperia xz rom and it failed.. Will try again in 15 days that will have more time to look around amd report the result

What failed? Error in Flashtool?
It has some protection against flashing fws for wrong devices, so it probably have to be XZ rom build as XZs rom...

Hi everyone,
I'm considering buying an XZs but noticed that there are no custom roms in this forum. Since I use Anroid without Google I like to be sure that I can use my phone with a clean custom rom.
From this thread I understand that it should be possible to use the XZ roms on the XZs - has this since been confirmed?
Thanks and cheers for replying
rien

Even if You will loose camera, as XZ has different module and drivers.
Only reason for flashing XZ rom to XZs is to make TA backup.

Rooting is not that bad anyway.. phone become faster and cooler when those bloatwares are gone...
Drm fix and safetynet is the only thing i care about. hope some will always find a way to fix it in newer firmwares also...

App2sd

Okay guys, wanted to ask you that if Z3 comes with app2sd like T2 and T2 Ultra? Cause it's supposed to be a Sony feature in 4.4.4
Did they miss out?

NO.
You must unlock BL to root, and then instal SD KK FIX, and then try to move apps.
But be advise, i dont recommend to unlock BL because of following

He was not asking that. He was asking about native app2SD.
AFAIK it is not implemented and has not been part of a stock ROM for some time now.

I already know about this bro, I warned so many when they unlocked Z2 bootloaders cause the camera quality was really bad.

Well TBH I have not felt the need for APP2SD since my xperia T days, there is enough internal storage for all my needs.

Restoring DRM Keys after root and bootloader unlock?

So I rooted my Z5 with unlocking bootloader and forgot to backup DRM keys. However, I found THIS that can apparently restore them even if you didn't back them up with a simple flash. Will it work? Or have I lost the DRM keys forvever? I am on Android 6.0.
This shouldn't be here but in Q/A topic !

Right.
Back on topic: Some, but not all, of the DRM -related functionality can be restored with a simple flash. Your DRM keys, however, are lost forever.
Carefully read over the post you linked to again. It is clearly stated that the keys can not be restored, but they can be simulated.

That no longer works on Android 6.0 . you can try a supported kernel like Sunkernel(Zach's kernel playground), Androplus Kernel or
OM5Z. All of them have DRM fix built into RAMdisk.
Hope that helps you.

TA will not affect camera in any way. The Z5 family will not remove BionZ when BL is unlocked. The blurry camera is probably a placebo(nocebo)

MultiROM for Xperia M2?!

It's possible to port Multirom for Xperia M2???

Everything is possible but the Xperia M2 does have only 8GB of internal storage so it would be unusable if we had poor storage when multirom is installed

I'm pretty sure that i have read something about multi rom for MT25i
This device is only 500mb internal storage
I think that some massively debloated roms can be used as multiroms
But i really dont see any need for this
One good rom is mooore than enough :fingers-crossed:

LB root and XZ?

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).

As soon as the bootloader is unlocked, you are no longer able to update (OTA). You have to flash the firmware manually. You can download the current version of your firmware with Xperifirm, then flash it with Newflasher. Don't forget to backup all your apps and data (pictures,...) before!
Cheers
