Okay, i am making this thread so people can find the answer for their questions here, some of these are the questions i was wondering too, but mostly these questions are what i think most people are wondering. And as always i want the answer to be heard from many people, so i really can be sure and know all about it!
ROMS..............
So, anyone got any idea when custom roms like cyanogen get compatibility for xperia z5 premium? how long does it usually take? and how do i get my current stock rom on my pc so i can customise it myself, and not die in waiting for cyanogen ? When the first cyanogen comes, it will be laggy, as everyone knows... Is it worth flashing? Can flashing ROMs break my phone, even when done right? Are they too risky for my brand new flagship beast?
ROOT..............
When do EASY one click rooting apps like kingroot, kingoroot and iroot work with the z5 premium? Does the "dirty" unlocked bootloader root made by androplus for xperia z5p work for the latest software update? When will the legendary locked bootloader root come?
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED......
Okay this is what i can answer on!
Will the camera quality go really bad?
NO, it won't. Only in low light it will be terrible, only in low light! It is EXACTLY (for me) the same as locked bootloader on normal lightning. YOU CAN BARELY SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!
is the boot loader worth unlocking??
This is a hard one. Its different for everybody, someone LIKE ME thinks its worth it, some others think its not. (tell your opinions pls)
FOR ME IT IS. As with unlocked bootloader you will be getting root before the locked boys.
What does change?
For me, nothing really. No experience has changed for me, but everyone uses it differently!
Okey so thats it for now its sunday night soon, post your questions down below, ill answer IF I CAN xd. if i don't know the answer, other people will answer it (HOPEFULLY) please ask and comment below! Thank you guys!
And by the way, will there EVER be a android 4.x rom that works on z5p?
Android 4.x ? Are you kidding me? Nooooo of course there wont be...
Unlocked bootloader exists and so does root. We dont have locked Bootloader root yet.
Cyangenmod? Wont be for while I think.
Id just be happy you have a good device, unlock the bootloader and root.

It does not work. Only root method is with unlocked bl, WICH DID NOT WORK FOR ME! I just installed a custom pre rooted rom, that worked. If u wanna do it the unlocked bl way, its pretty hard if u have only used kingroot for rooting.. And u can easily bootloop or brick ur phone. Thank me for helpful post if i helped pls xdd. I can ofc answer more questions if u need info.

Yea, ALSO! If your getting it. The phone has one problem........ IT BENDS... I can confirm.. So i think its the best phone ever, but its batterylife is pretty poor and it bends.. So if u get it on really bendy places your eventually gonna end up with a samsung curve tv looking phone. Mine is not bent, well slightly, u can barely see it.

Kk.. I usually buy a new phone or 2 in one year..
I've had this phone a little while now and I'm itching to root it. There's nothing wrong with it, I just really want to get into the code and do some modding. But there doesn't seem to be any root solution available right now.
So I thought I'd start this thread so we could discuss any rooting tips and ideas you all might have.
First I should probably mention all the potentially dodgy rooting solutions out there. Google "root xa1" and you get many results that offer methods to gain root access on our phone.
I confess I haven't tried any of them but that's because they all look suspicious. Some were written before the phone launched, some require you to download unknown software (I'll keep my PC virus-free, thanks), some even go so far as to feature a fake comment section with people saying it works.
I have no desire to stick malware on either my PC or my phone so I'm steering well clear of those.
The XZs launched at the same time as the XA1 and there seems to be a solution available for that. This is a thread by @zlRampageSlz with details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xzs/how-to/tutorial-step-step-guide-to-gain-root-t3612624
It looks like the best solution is to unlock the bootloader (making sure to back up your TA partition first!), flash a modified kernel (otherwise the camera takes green pictures), flash a recovery image and then flash Magisk.
Where do we get this modified kernel? Where do we get the recovery image?
I have no idea, sadly. This is all way beyond my area of expertise. I'm a themer, not a developer.
But if anybody knows better than me, please post here.
This is a great phone, let's work together so we can get it modded!

First of all thank you so much for your awesome tool "Tickle My Android" which i really like it (Y).
i'm about to get XA1 Ultra so sure i'm so curious about root also but i'll try to make it clear,
simply, don't waste your time searching for a root tool because it's impossible to have root without modifying kernel, so, 100% all of these tools are just malware !
in the new devices there's something calls DM-Verity which is a check tool and that means any modification to /system will leads to bootloop,
so DM-Verity must be disabled ( through kernel of course ) & any mess with kernel means you have to unlock bootloader.
another thing, Sony ric which is prevent mounting system, so, any modification must be through recovery or it will leads to bootloop also, so we must also disable it.
fortunately on my xperia z2 there is no DM-Verity and there's a module to disable sony ric through recovery so root was possible without unlocking bootloader but starting from xperia z3+ DM-Verity appeared !
so now root is impossible without unlocking bootloader ( which means losing drm keys forever if you didn't back it up ).
i downloaded the firmware for xa1 ultra through xperiafirm and i unpacked the kernel and tried with these tools to see how its going on:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
&
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893
the first one was hanging and i didn't get any information & the second one to be able to use it then you must put your ta.img ( your ta backup ) inside the folder,
i used my z2 ta.img as a test to see the process and the result was pretty good !
i successful disabled DM-Verity and there's no sony ric !!!!! but it's also still not safe and needs to be confirmed because maybe there's a bad surprise which is not clear yet, maybe something like sony ric but new !
so, if it's only the ****ty DM-Verity it's easy to disable it even away from this tool because we can't use it without ta.img, maybe by any script or unpacking kernel and modify it then repacking it this is not a problem at all & after that MAYBE we can flash supersu or magisk via ADB since there's no recovery yet ( completely not sure about this so it needs to be confirmed ) & in this case the choice is between root or drm features but at least root has been achieved.
so now, we need something like this to be able to backup ta without root and after that no problem of unlocking bootloader:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597
or if it's not possible at this moment to backup ta without root then at least we need something like this to be able to to reactivate drm features such as camera denoise and x-reality...etc:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/sony-credentials-restore-unlocking-t3296383
or the worst choice...root without drm & waiting for a fix like those above !
anyway, root is not easy like before but it's still possible after all, i tried to clarify everything as much as i can and i hope there's a solution soon !
@munjeni we need your help bro, please if you have free time have a look, i uploaded the kernel for xa1 ultra so try to tell us how it's going on & what is new !
https://www.mediafire.com/?bc63fgjw99r785d
good luck for everyone .
As my Z5 compact was broken, I bought the XA1. I didn't remember, how awful an unrooted phone is - So I am also waiting and would be very interested to be informed.

bought this phone to replace my oppo. i can't wait for root abilities to be made
Bought this phone to replace my old Xiaomi. It's a good, powerful phone. Hope to see root appear for it soon. Personally for me, I'm one of those people who will only root a phone once it gets slow (the warranty expires). So as much as I'm reluctant to root my phone now, I'll hold out and see what wonderful developments appear on this thread.
Given the XA1 (I have the XA1 not the XA1 Ultra, I believe they are different) runs a Mediatek processor, I'm inclined to see something along the lines of a MT Flash Tool being used. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've only had successful flashes and roots with Qualcomm processors. The last device I had with a Mediatek processor (Lenovo A8-50 A5500H, MT8382) bricked on me horribly and I had to throw it away :crying:.
Meh. Hope we'll see awesomeness come soon from here. I'm still pretty new to XDA, looks like an awesome community

Go to Settings > About Phone.
Tap on Build Number until you get a toast notification that says you're a developer.
You should now be able to access Developer Options in Settings.
Go inside Developer Options then toggle OEM unlocking. Make sure it's on.
The code you get from the website should work now.
Does anyone know where I can get the stock rom / recovery for the J337P ?

Currently latest binary there isnt any unlock for but I am working on it some. It is one of the more difficult ones to do due to Sprints new security. Only one team so far (at least made public) has done unlocks for it. If you have older binary builds there are some unlocks available on clangsm forum. Might check there.
Well not so much of a challenge anymore I guess on this one. The Yemen fellows have managed to unlock this long ago and now it seems everyone has a solution for it heard so much for Sprint's latest RSA haha

Hey there nice to meet you. Pretty much the 337 P can be rooted if you have cheated PRP for it that is about the easiest way to go about it. You can also get the boot image and go ahead and use it with magisk in a Flash the boot image back get it rooted and then use something like AAP ke flasher to flash TW RP but again you would need a custom as men are built in mine is not finish it. However you will run into some issues if you do the ladder as they will need to be signed images at least I have came to find out. And remember Ruth should be treated all up most respect otherwise you will have a phone that is vulnerable to just about everything in the world haha. Take care

ha ha ha yeah i was using voice to text. Tends to process incorrectly due to background noise and a poor speech rendering engine (doesnt have enough samples from me)
I just bought this is a second/work phone. I would like to get rid of all the extra software, root the device and possibly flash another ROM in the future. SInce this is my first Xiaomi device, I am wondering what is the procedure to unlock the bootloader?
From searching, it sounds like the only way is to REQUEST it via this procedure (requires SIM, MI account, and TIME/waiting for approval.):
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xiaomi-redmi-7/
I'm wondering if anyone knows if that is absolutely the ONLY way, or if one has the Redmi 7A phone physically, there is some way to root/unlock boot loader.

Hi,
Since Huawei closed giving away bootloader codes,
and I've blowed 60 USD on dc unlocker,
is there a way to get the bootloader code hash to decrypt it with hashcat, for example?
Best Regards,
Aleksander
Don't know about that but do you want to unlock your bootloader?

Downgrade as low as possible and give it a try.
haexhub/huaweiBootloaderHack: Huawei-unlock-bootloader (github.com)
Edit:
First Download This -> SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader: A simple tool for managing Huawei/Honor devices to unlock bootloader (github.com)
then grab unlock.py from haexhub and replace it. Then its a 'All-in-One Package' - no need to install anything.

THANKS A LOT M8!!!!!!!!!!!
I've started the program but i am just curious how many different codes/how many attempts can there be in total?
Thats a good question, im sure u can find the answer in one of the 2 repos. One is endless (pure bruteforce) vs IMEI + HASH.
I'm still too lazy to Downgrade my Phone to give it a try (with out rebooting every 4 attempts), because no clue if its worth all the effort, as Huawei modding / hacking seems like almost dead.

Ok thanks I've started the brute force the day same as u shared the github links and it's still on attempt around 97k so I'am still trying...
But do u know if it's possible to copy the WHOLE boot partition without unlocking bootloader?
Oh wow! Didnt expect that it might take this long.
And no, sorry. But i doubt that its possible, otherwise some sneaky hackers would found that gloryhole already.

Downgrade as low as possible and give it a try.
haexhub/huaweiBootloaderHack: Huawei-unlock-bootloader (github.com)
Edit:
First Download This -> SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader: A simple tool for managing Huawei/Honor devices to unlock bootloader (github.com)
then grab unlock.py from haexhub and replace it. Then its a 'All-in-One Package' - no need to install anything.

I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader lock by the Taobao service CNY30. It is done by PC remote control. My P10 phone (VTR-AL00) was firstly downgraded from my EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 5. Then the operation was very fast (ROM firmware loading time was long) & I can't see clearly. At last it was successfully unlocked & the guy gave me the unlock code also. If you guys want to do this, you need to ask a friend who know Chinese writing to chat on the net. Then I upgraded the phone using Huawei official upgrade from the phone to EMUI 9.0. Then I flashed the openkirin ROMs successfully. I've tried all four ROMs (RR, OMNI, AOSP, AEX). All of them have some bugs. One important one is the phone can't be charged when powered off. It will go to bootloader mode when plugged with the charging cable. You need to charge when the phone is on.
Install testpoint drivers ( https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/18B15B9D02C945A79B1967234CECB423 - these worked for my p10 lite), enter download mode via testpoints then use PotatoNV - https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV , i just did this two days ago then installed twrp and rooted with magisk, fairly simple and insanely useful, only drawback is you need to open up your phone back cover to do it. Works without downgrading on Emui 8
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT <3
I've succesfully opened my phone with dc unlocker
You may want to try the testpoint method. Worked like charm for me. Check potatonv git and YouTube..
Once we find the code, bootlocker unlocking factory reset it?
