Update 29.10.15
No need to flash pre-rooted firmware anymore. Use TWRP for Z5C instead.
I have prepared a pre-rooted 32.0.A.5.32 firmware (based on Nordic Combined, but I don't think the system partition differs).
Unlock your bootloader and use the following one-click solution to flash Zombie b1 kernel (with 32.0.A.5.32 ramdisk) and a pre-rooted system partition. I strongly suggest that you upgrade to stock 32.0.A.5.32 before flashing this, to make sure you get latest BL/modem/etc.
The firmware is not deodexed. I tried to deodex it but couldn't get it to boot.
Help is appreciated, since Xposed doesn't work with odexed roms.
Download:
Z5C_OnClick_320A532.7z
N.B! Only tested on E5823. Will probably not work on other models.
Xposed should work with odex ROM.
Latest Xposed contains fix for bootloop on odex ROM.

I flashed xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip and the phone booted fine, re-generated cache for all apps, but after a few seconds the phone rebooted. No Xposed modules installed, of course.

Oh, another new problem...:crying:
You should get log (by LiveBoot or something) and post it to github issue.

Great work!

Can anyone confirm that tap to wake (Settings -> Display -> Tap to wake up) still works after unlocking the bootloader? Thanks in advance!

Try toggling the setting (on->off->on) if you're having problems.

Thank you nilezon. Cheers for the quick reply.
I was curious as this setting is related to DRM. According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/loss-drm-keys-t2890936 the Z3 compact loses the tap to wake feature with unlocked bootloader (i.e. DRM loss).

Didn't you misread the linked post?
Tap2wake is "confirmed working" (green).
The items in red text are broken from DRM loss.
You're right. Thanks for pointing out, it's time for new glasses...

This ROM is just stock+root. Any other battery experience than stock is just placebo.
Like nilezon wrote, nothing different from stock.
Although now you can remove more ****ty apps.
Which leads slight better batterylife

But it is compatible? Now try but could
So, what do you guys think about this update? Is it really worth it? Curious to know.
The biggest reason for me to change was to get Remote Play to link with my PS4. Also, the applications button is now shifted to the middle of the bottom edge. Other than that, I haven't noticed any huge changes that blew me away.
Remote Play is pretty cool though, tried it out for a little bit last night and it was good enough to play Call of Duty campaign mode.

Well, technically, it's not such a big deal, to swap kernels/ramdisk with an unlocked bootloader. It's a simple edit. But, at this point, it would mean unlocking bootloader, and losing DRM keys (still not sure what functions besides some lost advanced camera functions, not that anybody uses the camera anyhow except for skype).
Under the old rooting, it used an exploit to modify ramdisk, (and install the necessary apps), without unlocking bootloader via an exploit.
As for me, I will wait a couple weeks and see if there's a new exploit. If not, well, I will do the above method.

Basically DRM keys are used to see if you have unlocked the device (in the past). So mainly for Sony to check if your warranty is still valid.
There is a tool that will backup your DRM keys though, and can restore it too. You just need root for that (just downgrade, root, backup keys and upgrade again) Just Google Xperia DRM backup and you're bound to find out

It's really weird that the main A7 model gets 0 to none attention . I hope someone will notice . Thanks for the post though
Bump for this!
We really need a recovery for A700F, we already have root thanks to ShinySide, but without Recovery there's no chance for custom ROMS.
I would have developed/ported it by myself but I haven't found any guide how to do it and I don't have the sufficient knowledge.

You're wrong, as long as you have root you can install custom roms with Flashfire, in fact it does most things a custom recovery can including backups.
If I get time I'll knock up a build of twrp.
What build is this device running at the moment, is it bootloader unlocked and is it Exynos or qualcomm?
I require someone to upload their recovery.img from the stock firmware.
Note: I don't have this device so a decent tester is required who doesn't mess about.

Thats not a problem I just need to adjust the resolution.
It works OK apart from that, backups etc?
Can you check adb works. Load ADB, Connect your device and type ADB DEVICES. See if your device is detected.

It has been a few years since i've unlocked a bootloader on a xperia device so I'm a bit confused:
At the moment it's only possible to obtain root with an unlocked bootloader but unlocking my bootloader means the DRM keys are whiped. I cant do a TA-backup because i have no root yet. But the DRM-fix in this kernel will fix everything so I wont loose any functionallity? So TA backup isnt needed any more? and does unlocking the bootloader still has consequences?

I would assume so, but I can't get 34.0.A.1.277?*Customized US to boot with the kernel to try it. Strange that it works for me with other customizations, just not US. And I can't live with the reception loss on LTE if I flash anything other than US/Canada firmwares. Granted I'm new to the Xperia scene, but seems like kernel should work with 34.0.A.1.277?*across the board.

Is there any word of CyanogenMod or any other coustom ROMs for this device yet? Just picked up the LSMG550 this evening. Rooted using the guide in OP (also linked at the bottom of my post)
My question is this; Are there any coustom ROMs, or a bloated stock ROM for the LGMS550 (Metro PCS variant LG G Stylo 2 Plus)? I could not find any in my searches, but that is to say I didn't over look them.

We have no developers I don't think , we out sourced to get recovery and root. . But it's cool because we have root and Xposed I'm pretty happy
So I have been using my phone rooted with boot loader unlocked... If I re-lock the bootloader does that remove root from the system??.. Sorry, a bit of a noob on this. Secondly, if locking back up the boot loader does not harm root is there a reason one should do so?

I don't think you can run root with bootloader locked,i could be wrong. But if you lock it your phone will probably reset itself to factory so I would think root would be gone. Also don't think the twrp will work with it locked
OK. I wasn't sure. This is first phone I had to Unlock the bootloader to gain root. My previous devices I used king root.. So this whole process of rooting the LG stylo 2 has been a learning experience. Thank you for your help.
How do I install V4A if I can't swipe to allow modifications. I don't want to brick or bootloop.
Nvm figured it out sorry for being a noob
Few tested Xposed module which works on stock ROM:
1) App Setting ( change DPI to 270 safely, anything below that will give you continuous phone app crash), you might have to change the LG system level apps(Phone, contacts, music,camera) DPI to 320 for them to work.
2) GravityBox MM (many options work) including the circle battery, clock,date, data speed indicator

Screen Overlay Detected when using Stylus
Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying message when using the stylus? I have to put the stylus back in the phone to get rid of it.
Thanks !

NoOverlayWarning Xposed module.
Just wanted to ensure everyone here knows that root was achieved for Snapdragon processors. I had nothing to do with this except to root my Note 8 based on the below link.
See thread below for instructions.

What is the possibility of a fix so that we can charge the battery to 100%?

0% without terrible hacks that require the phone be unusable. It's built into the combo/eng bootloader that makes root possible

I see, Thank you for that information. I guess I will wait to see if Xposed Framework is made to work with this device.
My only real draw to rooting is the Per App DPI and a modified hotspot app

They were able to overcome this with the S7, and Keep samsung pay working so I am hopeful they will find a way for the note8.
It might take awhile but it will come. Other than 1 or 2 mods i feel no need to root. But I would like to have the dual speaker mod.
Peace
This setup runs very smooth and fast. System root, no lag. Very resource friendly.
how do you like root so far? I just put the unlocked version would it be worth going to the rooted version?
Rooted then reverted back to stock but now I can't get any of the stock Verizon apps back ie visual voicemail app. Does anybody know how to get these back? I wanna be able to update to Oreo later on without any issues.

I don't have one, I want one though. If all else fails, after rooting I was able to the ADB trick, but I still have to turn off mobile data, turn on hotspot, turn mobile data back on.
I really want to be able to click the hostpot button and have it just turn on.

Did you flash the userdata partition when returning to stock?

Thanks for your reply.
I heard about doing that but didn't know how. I do know that I have the Verizon boot up screen and the 4G LTE logo for the data. It looks like I got HD voice but not for video. I can't even get WiFi calling to activate too.
If you could help me that would be great otherwise I might have to do a warranty replacement which is a last resort that I don't want to do in the first place.

Hi, were you able to flash the userdata partition? I'm not sure how to do this or if I even have the necessary file if needed. I was able to get the UMS button to show with your instruction but now I'm stuck.

Is this under the option tab or UMS button? Do I need another file? Seems like I'm missing something. I'm going to do a search here in the mean time. Btw it seems like I have to use Comsy Odin 3.12 to flash my files without errors.
Thanks for all of your help so far.
Ok looks like I finally was able to get all my Verizon apps back on it. I had to download the N950U firmware which had the USERDATA file that I needed to flash. I'm not sure why there is even a N950U1 firmware to begin with.
I have the August security patch and is still have the U1 baseband. WiFi calling is working but I didn't activate my visual voicemail yet but the app is there though. I didn't activate video calling yet because I would need to setup basic voicemail service first.
Thanks again for all of the help guys.
