How to root Sony Xperia Z5 ?
I think we should make a simple thread to sum up everything we know about root, since the main talking thread is long, here are the main informations:
Xperia Z5:
- No locked bootloader root yet
- AndroPlusKernel: Link
- TWRP here Link
- CWM booting but not usable: Link
- Unlocked BL dirty rooting available and working as intended: Link
- Dumped original firmware: Link
- Xposed works but you need to let it bootloop a few times
Xperia Z5 Compact:
- No locked bootloader root yet
- Zombie Kernel testing release here: Link
- Unlock bootloader root available (Link)
- Prerooted firmware available for unlocked BL: Link
- Xposed doesn't work with prerooted firmware
Currently we need to:
- Compile Zombie Kernel for Z5
- Improve TWRP support
- Create prerooted-firmware
- Most obviously and most hardly, find exploit for Locked BL root
Ok I'm not an Xperia pro, just got my first one few days ago, but still a android and linux geek, so if there is mistakes in my post, or update I haven't seen, notify me
