Did you mean like this ? https://ibb.co/c2Ky4f
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
exactly!

this will only flash SYSTEM / VENDOR etc

you can also exclude (tick) FOTAKERNEL , it recovery partition.. this way your TWRP will stay INTACT

Stuck on flashing firmware...

As described in the directions, I received a script error on Flashtool. The workaround step advises to:

However I do not know where this 34.4.fsc file can be found - there is no folder1

Please help me to find this file if you can.

Updated to add:

There is already a 34.4.fsc in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\devices\F51XX - is this normal?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] evilicious_evil:
FIXED.

- Used method at https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/issues/103 (copying F51XX folder instead)

- Ran Fileset Decrypt again and it bundled 34.4.fsc into the FTF file.

hello

the problem is the following:

i install the latest rom and twrp (SUZU_F512X_34.4.A.2.118_25SEP2018)

I flashed (with twrp) DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip then Magisk.zip

clear cache, dalvik cache (with twrp)

but the phone always starts with twrp mod.!!!!!

What did I do wrong?

i flashed back KERNEL_F5121_34.4.A.2.118_CLEAN.img the phone is working but not root.

thank you
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] gedod:
Hi, I'm no expert but all I can think is you have done something out of order from what the instructions state. It worked for me. The instructions are more detailed but in short they are...

Flash Rom via flashtool

Boot, enable USB debugging, switch off

Flash Kernel via flashtool (fastboot mode)

Flask TWRP recovery via command (fastboot mode)

Boot into TWRP, then flash DRMfix and magisk

Clear cache and switch off / on.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
sequence is

1. flashing modified KERNEL (use fastboot mode with FLASHTOOL)

2. flash twrp

3. boot twrp and flash drmfix and magisk and reboot

seems like you didnt flash modified kernel!

hence the device wont boot!

Xperia X Oreo 8.0 microphone problem

Hi,

So I flashed Oreo 8.0 build 34.4.A.2.118 all right. Phone works much faster than before all working fine except for microphone when calling.

Correspondents would hear me very low and are experiencing nasty echoes. I have tested that with all of my calls for a few days.

Tried to tweak sound parameters, microphone volume etc without success.

Read here and there that it could be linked to display settings (?) and stock apps as Sony Xreality or themes wallpapers (?)

Then flashed TWRP, rooted the phone to remove those stock apps.... without any success...

I would rather keep that ROM and not downgrade to previous build.

Anybody experienced such problem?

Thanks for your help and perfect tutos!!

Advice on rooting

Currently on stock. Will rooting and using this kernal enable me to use Google camera with hdr+?? Also will throttling reduce (cod mobile ♥)? I'm tired seeing 100$ or sub 10k rs xiaomi phone clicking better pics than mine.. Also can long exposure like upto 32secs be enabled? I use hedge cam 2 noise reduction mode to click better pics currently. but for clicking 8 frames it takes more than 15secs whereas other phones do it in under 2 secs ?

Hi, I think this link is broken. This one works https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/

Also they don't ask for email anymore.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] niffcreature:
Hi, thank you for your work!! This guide was not easy but I went through with it!

1 problem I had: when I replaced the "mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml" file, speakers have a bad humming noise and distortion whenever playing sound. Headphones sound great much louder. Can I just do this optimization for headphones??

Also, could not find the _debloat_backup folder. Also I don't understand step 14. about Magisk modules. but these are small potatoes, root is working fine and got some apps deleted.

Lastly, for anyone having driver issues I know there's a link somewhere but I was stuck for a while... Google search how to restart windows with digital driver signing disabled and also, do not forget to find and replace 34.2.fsc file in .flashtool/devices/F51xx! Hope this will help someone. Also worth mentioning the latest Flashtool version 0.9.28.0 could have it fixed, however on the windows download page the torrent file is for 0.9.26.0 so I didn't try the new version. shrug.

I have an F5121 with Android 8.0. It has 34.4.A.2.118 and Kernel is 3.10.84.

Bootloader unlock is allowed and I have the unlock code. I wanted to root the phone but after reading here I am more confused than ever. In order to unlock the bootloader I have to go back to an earlier version of android by installing an old stock rom. I remember doing this on an old ST15, it worked but Android Nougat (7.X) and later versions were a lot different re memory usage to earlier versions.

So the question is what is the best way to root my F5121. I am quite happy with Android 8.x and I am not impressed with 9, and 10?

Hello, may I enter into your WhatsApp group? I've an Xperia X and I think I may made a disaster...
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] tb05:
Hello, I have exactly the 34.4.A.2.118 version like you, but I'm not sure about the Kernel. I'm not an expert with phones, and I am in your exact situation too:

"Bootloader unlock is allowed and I have the unlock code. I wanted to root the phone but after reading here I am more confused than ever.". I've also inatalled the TWRP, that sometimes decides to not make me enter into him and make me enter in the stock android recovery, and the unique way to get access to TWRP is to reflash it with fastboot and instead of write "fastboot reboot" once flashed is to keep pressed down volume key for a long time (with the phone in flash mode witth the blue led on) until it autoreboot into TWRP.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] tb05:
I've tried to read the official Magisk guide, but at a step it requires a "boot.img" file, which I have absolutely no idea of where i may found it, because i've used Emma (official Xperia flash tool) to reinstall my stock rom after a bootloop caused by a bad using of TWRP, but Emma does not permit to download the zip (or, i think, every other archive file format) file of my rom, because she can only flash directly the rom in the phone.

Surfing deeply in Internet and expecially in this forum I found this pages, wich i don't know if them may need to something:

to find boot.img (or .whateverelse), i believe:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-v5-6-1.2834142/

to (i'm not sure, but i believe...) flash the roms downloaded from the Xperifirm:

GitHub - Androxyde/Flashtool: Xperia device flashing

Xperia device flashing. Contribute to Androxyde/Flashtool development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

to i don't know what, but it was from the Sony official site and it was for my ROM version ( 34.4.A.2.118 ), so why not?:

the .tar.bz2 archive as this link:

However reading this page I'm not sure but I think I may have lost my DRM keys...

[MENTION=242143]yasu[/MENTION] Hamed - Look at this...

F5121:/ $ su

F5121:/ # busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

F5121:/ # su busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

mount: '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system'->'/system': Device or resource busy

1|F5121:/ #

That's the result. First I wrote only 'su' to get the root symbol... Than the cmd line to remount...

There was no finish... Second step I wrote all two cmd lines in a row.... You see the result. Now, I'm confused because of the answer 'device or resource busy'... The context, for me, is not clear... In german it could mean different... Is it done now? How can I see that the system folder is writable now?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
the first line is correct,

when you typed and enter "busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system"

it won't give you any result or error, this mean command has worked successfully

simply install sys app remover and remove apps

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:

- why are you sending me Android 6x kernel file?

you can simply flash the android 6.x and use dirty cow script to EXTRACT TA.IMG

later flash android 7

and send me kernel.sin of android nougat 7.x.x and i will modify the kernel

however if you want to stay with android 6 with you xperia compact, be my guest, i will modify for you!

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] EnderHDMC:
[MENTION=5613633]YasuHamed[/MENTION]

So I tried modifying the kernel.sin file myself, got everything working the only problem is that the device is still encrypted so TWRP asks for a decryption password when going into twrp. So I haven't rooted it yet.

Do you perhaps know any way around this?

Or should I try installing SuperSu anyway?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
sir, if twrp is asking password because the internal storage is encrypted this means your device will not boot and will ask password at boot time also.

This happens when you FLASH xperia via flashtool but may not perform complete wiping. for Project X , its extra security if some tries master reset without wiping user data, the next boot will ask decryption password. you have to reflash the device with the options as described in the picture.

Good day sir

after flashing 34.2.A.2.69 for F5321 Xperia X compact (CLEAN FLASHING, please view image)

kindly From the repository I made for you https://mega.nz/#F!6NYXjTbY!js-WdI2tQQMbzNaa77zomA

please flash the kernel ...

1. if you flash "f5321_su_34.2.A.2.69.img" , the device will wakeup ROOTED with SuperSU 2.82 installed. (however you won't able to update binaries tomorrow when supersu 2.83 and above release. (kernel limitation) (i will have to embed again )

2. if you flash "f5321_su_34.2.A.2.69.img" then you must

----(A) flash twrp 3.0.2 (image given) and

----(B) flash superSU.zip from twrp from flashdrive using OTG cable.

then boot your device. / this way you can always upgrade next level of superSU as they release / update binaries
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
you are always welcome sir

I am glad i was help
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] EnderHDMC:

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
yes, rooting will be void!

all bloatware will comeback

but the bigger problem is! even if you download the 548mb OTA, the software will never update and you will get UPDATE FAILED error since your Bootloader is unlocked,

you will have to flash it manually

now i don't know 7.1.1 is using SINv4 format for its kernel or not! if the kernel of 34.3.A.0.194 is on SINv4, then flashtool cannot flash this firmare, you will have to use newflasher!

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x/development/root-xperia-x-f512234-3-0-206-7-1-1-t3635595

long story short, respected member [MENTION=357342]tobias.waldvogel[/MENTION] came up with this automated script which allowed Xperia Z project devices falling under Z5 series can be repacked. later this script was released and fellow members and [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] added support for XZ series devices and [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] 's TA'POC support

for X, what kernels i made user's could not boot the devices, to make sure I ordered F5122 and unlocked its bootloader , later made kernel without twrp + with SU and it worked. since the script is designed to alter kernels other than z5.

you can yourself download the script and try altering the kernels. just don't install twrp when it prompts because that twrp is for Project SATSUKI and SAMURAI and wont work for SUZU and f5121/f5122 will go into bootloops.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] serajr:
Bro, I added support in the scriptable twrp for X Performance firstly, then for XZ (once both share same hardware). It worked well till Nougat (it has now just been deprecated).

Flashed twrp's do work way better, so just forget about embedding twrp on the ramdisk.

Do you have a working twrp flashed into Fota partition (fastboot flash recovery...)? Did you already test the official init_sony project to boot up into Fota recovery at sony logo?

I also added the init_sony in the rootkernel's script (for my personal use only) and it does work like a charm! I can try repacking a test kernel for you if you want, just let me know (send me your stock kernel.sin and the working recovery.img).
