It will be good but i think probably not. The hope is in developers to port it from XZs.

I find some upgrade in night shoots with flash in Superior Auto with last . 76 update.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] anhyeuviolet:
Still no update for Nov 2017.

Look like Sony is still waiting for Android Nov. patch.

Or (maybe) they will send us the one of O :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
that would be nice but not likley yet
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] paphonb:
On Oct the same thing happened to the XZ Premium so it might be possible.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] SpotTech:
Oreo still testing by operator...
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
Where do you find that?? What about unlocked devices like mine
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] SpotTech:
In updater app... And with an mail at sony

Mine IS unlocked too, but thé message in updater app IS the same for all

Xperia™ XZ didn't get november security patch yet. Is there a good news for Oreo Update? [MENTION=2492212]Jozinek[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Probably
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
Well it's late or oreo or there just being dicks hate this phone anyway far to many bugs
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] anhyeuviolet:
Look like Sony don't care about us :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] djgigi94:
When xz doesn't get April security patches in the first part of month, recieve android 7.1.1 in the last. Xzp doesn't recieve in the first part of October the security patches. But in the last part of month get Oreo. Probably x performance,xz and xzs recieve oreo this month. Because doesn't recieve any patches, and the others all have november security patches. Sony care about us much ...more than the others. Other brands in most of case doesn't have both android 7.1.1 or october security patches. Be happy for great support of our Sony. Is almost same

like google/nexus/pixel phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Guciu:
100% True. I hope it will be soon and well done/tested :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:

Audio, battery life , ram , performance *cough*
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
A contact I have with Sony said oreo launches this month for xz...... More battery drain inbound XD
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Perhaps they will disable the battery this time and force is to buy the xz premium
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
They already did that XD
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Typically on the first day of the software release it's the best time to storm the forums to report bugs ,

Perhaps Sony might issue a hot fix
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
The thing isn't even released yet but we already complain about the bugs. How 'bout we calm our titties, wait and see.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
Well I gave battery drain bug for months now so ya know kinda doesn't inspire much hope
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] lukem99626:
still nothing i see this month were getting oreo or dissapointment XD
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mazellat:
I think Xperia™ XZ will get Android Oreo update on 23rd November Thursday, we wait and see :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] anhyeuviolet:
How do you know about it ?

:(
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] iXaidyiu:
Because the XZP got it on the same day of October?

Don't forget the Oreo fw on XZP is just a minor tweaked version of the XZ1, so I think Oreo for us (as well as XZs) should take quite a longer time.

Hey! XZ Premium user here. Did your XZ with Oreo got the new Dialer? Someone on the official Xperia forums said that the XZ got it. The XZP didn't.

Also can you please check if the XZ got Treble and Display Flash?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] VeixES:

- New Bootanimation

- New status bar

- Speaker is much (45%) louder

- New call UI

- Camera has the same old UI (You need to access 4K via the camera apps unlike the XZ premium)

- New Settings

- Things Mentioned in the changelogs
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] djgigi94:

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] zwodziarz:
Quick question (maybe stupid one). I got XZ from Orange, currently on Customized AU. Will the network coverage drop or something if I flash Customized TR(Turkey)? I don't know if Turkey is using different bands or anything. I'm currently in UK(O2). I know it's the same device though heh
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] VeixES:
You will lose 4g calling aka volte if you are not using rom matching the country/carrier your sim card is from. In UK, for 3 and EE you get access to 800mhz band only if your device has Volte enabled.

With O2 you don't loose any network access using whatever firmware
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] korom42:
If someone successfully rooted on Oreo please share your rootable kernel image ..

is tobia's tool still working ? I will test it when finish downloading
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] zwodziarz:
:highfive:

Thanks mate I was struggling with this VoLte thing, surpised O2 doesn't support that while in my home country (Poland) I can freely call with VoLTE... Uk seems to be 10years behind but well that's what UK is :/ Coverage as well lot worse than Poland heh. So no difference if I wait for Customized AU? What about CentralEU? Thing is I saw this ROM and just can't wait to flash it cause I'm home alone and going to work in 9 hours so this ROM stays in my mind the whole time :silly:

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Marília de Oliveira:
Did anyone get root in oreo? :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
Yes i know rotting needs unlocked bootloader of course. I meant i could root my phone at first, nor could i flash AuroraRom nor XplaZtation Rom, always unmounting system error and then bootloop. so i had to flash stock MM with flashtool and then flash androplus kernel, then i could flash XpalyZtation Rom only, AuroraRom never got passed the first setup precedure when booting phone.

Also, if i relock bootloader and choose to wipe all data will i get back to stock with locked bootloader for sure?

I'm not understanding what it means to loose drm keys, how did other people relock bootloader succesfully? and how did tehy flash auroraRom succesfully? weird...

And why should i unlock XZ bootloader if i dont want to flash anything, only to be able to flash stock firmware in case of software failure?

i know there are a lot of questions, never felt so confused when tinkering with OP2 or N6P...:silly:

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

chawlasrija, could you please tell me what should i choose under Wipe in flash tool when flashing MM in order to get bootloader locked again?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Your problems with Aurora rom is because of that rom itself, you need to figure it out with the dev of that rom.

Now, flashing while wiping userdata will definitely bring you back to stock

DRM keys stands for Digital Rights Management Keys, take them as little software codes that Sony does not want you to get your hands on, because they are unique, things such as X-Reality, PS4 Remote Play, Certain Camera optimisations, these little chunk of codes define Sony, so they cannot let anyone have em, it's Sony's soul.

When you relock your bootloader, it just makes you eligible for OTA's, that's it, you don't get the DRM keys back because they are already wiped permanently.

Now, in order to bring back things like X-Reality & other stuff, people here at XDA have created a package which can bring a few of these optimisations back, now they are not the original one, nor they are 100% back, they are simply made to get whatever we can manage to bring back to an unlocked bootloader. These packages are called DRM Fix Package & are already included in custom kernels such as Androplus's kernel.

You can use Flashtool to flash FTF's on an unlocked as well as a locked bootloader. The only purpose of unlocking is to grant root, try custom softwares or custom roms. That's it.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

You need to relock your bootloader first, you can do that by clicking the "blu" icon, it will say bootloader unlock, but if yours is already unlocked it will relock it.

After this only, flash the MM ftf & only tick userdata under wipe

Received update this morning (I have F8331 version in US) so far so good but I noticed that my app drawer has less apps now. Something got disappeared and I am not sure which app it is. Anyone noticed anything like that?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
Wird thing is, when i flash Androplus Kernel, i cant use my banking app anymore.

Is my XZ with unlocked bootloader not as efficient as one tht'as locked? what do you mean by optimisation?

Man i didn't reealize X-Reality was not working anymore, in fact when i go to the X-Reality menu changing settings doesnt apply, also now i guess i now why i can't get calls optimisation options such as flip to mute ringer, auto answer call by bringing phone to ear and such... is that right? man XZ sony stock rom is very nice and has handful features nexus don't have, i wish i never unlocked bootloader!

thanks a lot for all your eplanations, i've learned new stuff again today
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
You can't use your banking app, because it can detect that your device is rooted, I have seen certain Xposed modules that can hide root form apps, you'll have to google em.

Btw Xposed is not available for Nougat till now, in case you're wondering.

It is as efficient as the locked one, don't worry.

I meant Optimisations in camera, don't know what exactly is removed with the DRM keys, ask Sony or read through Sony Developer website.

Call optimaisations should be okay, don't worry about them, they should work fine. Still if they don't, you can always flash the DRM fix when it's out & it'll be out soon, don't worry.

You've not made any mistakes by unlocking, chill out, you're just brave, just have some patience & always search XDA or google before asking questions, you'll easily find your answers there.

& If you ever have to send your device to a Sony Service Center, make sure you relock & send it, they won't be able to tell the difference & your warranty will still be intact.

This atleast worked in India, I sent my Z2 quite many times for repairs when it was my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
Dear chawlasrijan, any DRM fix out for Xperia XZ yet?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Nope, [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] is still working on it & his new kernel.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
chawlasrijan, I'm only flashing Androplus kernel, my phone is not rooted and my banking app wont work, i'm aware banking app won't work rooted phone, even though it used to work fine on rooted OP2 and N6P...

by flashing Androplus kernel will i get back x-reality and advanced camera options?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Yes, flashing his kernel restores them.

& There are no camera options which are lost, it is things like dark noise reduction, some image algorithms that are affected, to be honest, I can't tell much difference, but maybe that's because I'm not a camera enthusiast & don't care much about em, what I'm trying to say is for a normal user, it won't be a very visible change in camera quality :P

Can't say what your problem with banking app is, never had issues with mine on his kernel.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] coleburns:
anyone in the UK got the update yet?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
Flashed Androplus and X-reality is back, banking app wont open! damn it! So now i guess have to choose between my banking app but lose x-reality and other functions, or, get back x-reality and other finitions but, can't use banking app! damn unlocked bootloader! my company will get me a new phone next year, i might ask for an XZ so that can have one copletely stock and another one for tinker!!

Thanks again for your mighty help
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Or you can use Xposed on MM & hide root from your banking app :P

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] FerroFlux:

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Actually, just found a version for the dual on the source site!
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] LadFromWales85:
Running the RU customised build on my XZ. Flashed to the last MM then OTA'd to N, backed up my stuff and factory reset.

So far am finding that battery is just as good or better than MM. Speakers are not louder, but does appear as though treble has been boosted somewhat. RAM management is still amazing, can come back to an app half a dozen apps up the list and it still be running happily, sometimes even games. Ability to change the display size (DPI) is very welcome.

A notification icon and entry in the list appears every time mobile data state changes, like coming out of airplane mode, or booting your phone, or simply toggling mobile data. No NFC icon. These are tweaks specific to the RU customisation. UK customisation has NFC icon but no data notification. LTE icon is 4G.

Will flash the UK customisation as soon as it's available, just because.

I hope this helps someone :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chivu10:
So You flash the ru ftf and get the 7.0 ota? Because i try to install the ru ftf of this forum and i get errors în flashtool... Modem.sis and system.sis or something like that...
