Finally i got a solution for Nexus and Pixel Factory Image flash, now it works perfectly

Nice looking tool.
I'm surprised by the lack of comments on this thread. I'm looking at getting a Pixel 2 5". Is it this easy to just plug in and use this tool to root?

I'm surprised too, I do not know the reason sincerely

neat, been in debate on flashing but it doesnt seem like theres anything besides recovery and kernels. Wonder why the pixels have such a low rom rate. Even my pixel c doesnt have a root/rom option still.

Perhaps because the cost has become excessive? Or maybe because there is no more reason to do modding? There are no more a rom like CyanogenMod

thank you!! :good::good::good::good: i have been hoping for something like this to be released. been missing the nexus toolkit. hopefully its working well. :fingers-crossed:

My OEM unlocking has been greyed out and I haven't been able to unlock bootloader so I can root. Could this help me?

You need to enable oem unlock in developer options and then you will able to unlock your bootloader

If it's greyed out, then u have to do a factory reset. However, it still wont unlock it.
I had the same problem when I was trying to unlock my phone's bootloader, but it failed every time, so I'm just waiting if anyone is able to unlock it.
My phone's (Pixel 2) Android version is 8.1.0 and patch level is March 5, 2018.
Let me know if it works out for you.
Thanks

There was a brief period of time where a bunch of us got our VZW Pixel 2's bootloaders unlocked, the mega thread is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/maybe-stupid-question-verizon-pixel-2s-t3726294/post74983838#post74983838, but from what I've read the firmware was patched in February that closed this window/loophole. Also carrier unlocked != bootloader unlocked, it just means you can use it on any carrier's network. Has nothing to do with OEM Unlock in Developer Options. Hope that helps.

With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works

Bootloader Unlocked!

Hello,
Recently managed to get my hands on a Z3 via Three UK and even though the Z3 isn't listed on the Sony Developers website as a phone you can unlock, if you follow the procedures for the Z3 Compact it takes your IMEI and unlocks perfectly fine.

same goes to Z2 & Z1 earlier. Not listed but unlockable. Maybe they not prepare the database to store unlocked IMEI list for Z3 yet
Btw, did u check whether X-reality,super vivid & screen mirrorring are still working as drm keys are wiped during unlocking. i dn want miss these features for this newborn beauty
Three is selling the Z3? Damn it's not even listed on their site or anything, did you go into one of their stores and luck out on them having stock?
Also, nice. Might unlock mine soon when interesting development arrives for our devices.

I haven't checked, though those features are still present. Checking through the various screen modes I can't see any discernible difference between them. Screen mirroring I can't test as I've nothing to test it with.

I knew three had them in, stores took delivery of them all today, though they have been rather quiet about the launch and the website hasn't even been updated. They DO have them though, I had to pester my local store to actually bring one out, but I got there in the end! I did make a point of saying that if it was another iPhone launch things would be different.

Z3 Compact has shown up on http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
for those who has unlocked their bootloader, i need some help to test this stock rooting kernel + recovery HERE
tqvm!
So like some of the carrier based phones had bootloader unlock allow as No. Is it the same guys?
Do you see any significant difference in camera? cause It was slightly affected. Not that noticeable though.
I have a carrier-based phone but mine is set to unlock allowed: Yes
I have unlocked my Z3 via sony website and have rooted it with monx img

I have not installed the SDK, in fact I don't really see a way to install it, looks to me like you just copy the files somewhere to use it?
I have the adb drivers installed using the following package : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
I followed the instructions from another post, I downloaded the eclipse android sdk and installed it. After that, I updated the usb driver to support fastboot. A bit more complicated than the one you followed but it worked for me.
Have you tried running installer and cmd as administrator?
Sent from my D6653
Does anyone have a definitive list of what is, or might be, affected?
I am desperate for root but if it's gonna kill the camera or anything important, I'll wait until someone finds an exploit. If it's crap like TrackID, Walkman, or Sony's Unlimited stuff I don't care, the reason I want root is to get rid of that stuff anyway!

Yes ran as adminstrator, can you elucidate on how to update the usb driver? I believe the batch file I referenced does do that but I can check.

Root and bootloader unlock discussions

Because "Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting. ", I feel this needs it's own thread instead of this one oem-unlock-bootloader-preserving-drm, which was originally discussing DRM warranty.
I want to discuss if it is possible and how it would be done. It is not yet listed on Sony's webpage with phone and other devices which support unlock bootloader. I will try to root and unlock bootloader this weekend, I will try using the same method as for z3c.
i'm on a weekend trip and will try to root my z5c on sunday evening or monday. a smartphone without adaway, titanium backup etc. is crap.
feedback about your success would be nice.

For backup from my old Z3C i use with success Helim app

I need some help with this one. I was able to to do oem unlock but my phone reset when I started it again.
I am also tempted to flash the recovery with ClockWorkMod for Z3C but not without a way to revert it. Anyone got any ideas for how to do that?

I don't know if you can do this in Xperias. But in Nexus devices you can boot (without flash) a recovery.
For instance:
fastboot boot Clockworkmod.img
However, I would just wait for an official custom recovery for the Z5C.

how did you get the oem code, since the device isn't listed on sony dev bootloader unlock side yet
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking

As an FYI
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking site:
"To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5, prepare it by following these steps:
1.Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
2.From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking"
So it looks like this is all that´s required, no more code requesting process like on previous devices. However, nothing specific mentioned on the DRM aspect.. I have checked the option, still had "myXperia" enabled and all was good. Also, have not seen a difference in Camera quality, but would not bet on it...
but did you root your z5c?

Nope, did not root it, would not know how... would depend on a guide/software posted somewhere here on XDA... And I am not brave enough to brick my phone just yet

I have not yet done it but as soon as they release a recovey ROM, I will try all the old things in case something might work.

I just followed the guide for z3c, it accepted my IMEI. But as already stated, you can now unlock OEM for all z5 models. Here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/. I don't know if it worked because when I started my phone again, it rested to it's original state and I had restore from a backup.

I want to try this but as you said, I need a recovery ROM first.
I'm still new to the whole Sony Xperia world, please correct me if I am wrong but would not this be the place to look for ROMs? http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/supported_phones/
These are just the methods to enter the flash mode
Guys help please. When I check in service menu there is ,,bootloader unlockable: NO''
I need to have root. If I use this guide ( http://unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-z5-compact/ ) it will unlock bootloader? Also, there is NO in service menu but I have code from sony to unlock from their website/email. Help?

If it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it to bootloader unlock allowed:YES it's impossible. Only way is to change your z5 for another one that says bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Having a unlock code from sony won't make any difference either

Possibly but I don't see why anybody would want to do that, because you wouldn't be able to run TWRP, flash a different kernel or anything really.

[WARNING] IVY/IVY_DSDS POTENTIAL Encrypted Bootloader in OTA

OKay @MotexT have been looking at the ota package 32.1.A.1.185
I will be quoting heavily from hangout
MotexT
Wow, this is really strange. Looks like new algorithm for OTA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm, clarify ?
MotexT
We all know how it works - we have updater-script which contain the algorithm of flashing files, right? Here, if I really got it, we don't have a classical scenario for that, which seems like new way to flash OTA updates

Yeah, i would reject this ota, but some people are stupid and will flash a can of yams if it's in a zip file
and that's not an exaggeration either
MotexT
All this file is almost about S1 boot security
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
someone actually tried to flash one of the defconfigs i zipped and attached to post
MotexT
Yeah, I remember ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah there appears to be hashing functions in the kernel commandline as well
tell me this bootloader is encrypted?
MotexT
New one will be - there are certificates for all version and revisions, and looks like it encrypts the new bootloader after flashing
Checked out the files and yes - it will encrypt bootloader with SHA256 keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you post that in a thread please?
MotexT
This file is for the first bootloader version
And it flashes some security into it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
okay so does this really read as encrypted or signed?
This one is encrypted and checks if encryption was successful
It encrypts
Okay yeah let's upgrade that proposed thread to a warning.
i'm going to quote this hangout heavily so can you leave all those screens accessible?
MotexT
Yep, use them. Also highlight the lines where it's written, hope someone will do deeper research of all that stuff. Also I will add boot folder with all that files
Also it's strange at all - looks like this changes will be applied just after OTA - one guy has flashed new TFT an then he installed your kernel and my recovery and for him everything works well
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, I have uploaded the whole folder with this files to my Drive. For everyone who flashed the new version via Flashtool, don't flash any OTAs from Sony cause as @moonbutt74 have described in OP, there is some valuable changes. And yeah, they will still popping-up even if you have the newest version on board.
I don't quite understand what this means actually. I installed via flashtool, then kernel also via flashtool, then TWRP and everything seems fine so far. Anything I shouldn't or can't do now? And should others not update or what? What's going on?
Thanks for you work though!

In short, don't flash the ota. The ftf seems fine though with flashtool. and then if i have it right , only flash system .?
For anyone who is intersted in picking up development for this device I am attaching the kernel defconfig extracted from the kernel.elf/sin from the aforementioned firmware release. Linux/arm64 3.10.84
What exactly are the consequences when updating with ota?
What can't I do with an encrypted bootloader?

Hey! hahaha am sorry about flashing that zip file, no need to say that am a noob, I was thinking that defconfigs file was something like a configuration file for the kernel or somthing.... yeah I know... no need to say that I should not touch advanced tweaks but hey! at least my device is working ok! no bricks (luckily think so), no nuclear explosions they say... all good! thanks four your work again and for share your personal chats haha

Sorry I know that was a little harsh, but the joke was there, I had to go for it. Kudos on having a sense of humor! :good:
I've done some unbelievably stupid things myself! :silly:
The best one/ top of the list was that the first kernel build and resulting boot.img i ever managed to pack right went wrong when
i edited the updater script in the zip package to write to mmcblk0. Instant brick. xD
sorry noobish question, ive purchased my Xperia Z4 E6553 from second hand (used), and its already upgraded to MM fw.163, i did upgrade from flashtool to fw .185 and the chargind time its very slow,

Perhaps you have Find My Xperia ON! You need to turn it off in order to unlock bootloader I had the same problem, give it a try after you disable it, restart the phone and the you go to service menu to see if it allow to unlock the bootloader.

I can't see a specific reply to this question by fayer3.
Can anyone spell out the consequences and rollback options for anyone flashing the OTA?
Is this likely to affect ALL future versions from Sony? In that case we should find ways to turn off OTA updates, to minimize the risk.

My Nokia 5 has the same OEM-Unlock developer option as my Nexus 5x.
Never had such a barebones android device, nearly boring
Bootloader becomes unlockable through an option on developer settings, and the pure android approach will help developers
If my bootloader is unlocked, how and where can I get eg. TWRP Recovery for my Nokia 5?
You will have to wait until there is an un/official TWRP released. Which you will surely find here first.

On the Nokia 6 the OEM bootloader unlock button doesn't really work. The bootloader is not really unlocked.
There's also no bootloader unlock in the Nokia 3. < That guy got his XDA account suspended for posting spam crap instead of real stuff.
Probably same with the Nokia 5. Nokia has locked the bootloader down on all of this year's Androids unless anyone can prove otherwise.
If you arrow up out of those topics to the broader Nokia 6, and Nokia 3 Android forums, you will see there's no bootloader unlock, no TWRP recovery, no ROMs, not even any real root.
Remember, if it's not here on XDA it's not real. It will be here first. There's tons of scam/malware websites that will urge you to download crap and promise bootloader unlock and UNICORNS, but don't do it.
EDIT: for the Nokia 6, two days ago someone has CLAIMED to be able to root and install TWRP bypassing the LOCKED DOWN bootloader. It seems complicated and it's not been verified yet as of this date.

i have ported TWRP for Nokia 6, not sure does it work or not as i do not own this particular device
edit: i wouldn't try that TWRP installation method as it says "brush brush method" what ever that even is!? atleast not before someone can actually confirm it works
IIRC someone have a Nokia 6 Chinese using global rom. They flash them in edl mode. So can we use that to bypass the bootloader?
This is the reply that I got from Nokia Care... Conclusion - they don't have a clue.

disappointing
I was really keen on buying it, and if the phone is not rootable then there is no point in buying it.
hope NOKIA team is reading this and they realize the importance of having an unlockable bootloader.

In my opinion we should bomb them with these kind of questions so that they understand that they should let us unlock the bootloader if we want to...

There a secret debug tool in the phone, just open the Dialer app and type *#*#DBGTOOL#*#*. Wonder if it helps
Did anyone got Root on our Nokia Devices?
Sent from my TA-1053 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
all of you are right without root there is no use of the phone ..after so many years nokia has done the come back but still we are not happy
So it will never be rooted?
Sorry for double, but I found this in developer options. What does it mean? Doesn't it unlock the bootloader?
No it doesn't

OP is really too confusing. I suggest you to remove other devices info and just talk about Le 2 as that would make it less confusing and more convenient.
Edit : Also, you've added changelog twice.
Edit 2 : It's a bug in Xda Labs app. Nothing wrong in OP (ugh)
Looks promising! Keep up the great work!
Just a little note aside: you should change "No devices founded" to "No devices found".
Great job!

I will not remove other devices info because the devices are a lot and i cant create too different threads. The procedure are the same for all devices. Where i have added changelog twice?

Okay now this is embarrassing. When I look at your post via Xda Labs app, it looks pretty unorganized and has changelogs twice and makes it look confusing, while the same thing looks much more organized when I go through it using chrome or any browser. So it's probably a bug on Xda Labs app. Sorry. Cheers.

mmm, you are the first, maybe you have not installed the drivers? Have you "unblock" the tool zip before unpack and install it?
