I had the problem, too.

First I made mistake with enabled DRM fix through root kernel tool and kernel from download link didn't work for me, either.

Make your own kernel through root kernel tool and it's gonna work.

You don't have to reflash your phone to work again. Just flash kernel.sin and the phone shouldn't get stuck at Sony logo.

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jomoteck:
I had the same problem, what did I do :

/! \IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA/! \

-Go in twrp

-Go in wipe

-Advanced wipe

-Tick "Data"

-And click on "Repair or change file system"

-Change file system

-Click on EXT4 and go on

-Reboot

-When all is connected:

-Shutdown and reboot recovery

-Flash in this order DRM FIX-MAGISK-FCS thermal-Debloat

That's it ! That worked for me
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
not by OTA

you have to do all the steps again to achieve root in A.2.19 what you did with A.0.364
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
twrp give error of encryption! if that is hapening then you can run the Debloat script from your PC.

once you type those commands in to terminal and pres enter, and NO ERROR comes back , then /SYSTEM is RW,

try removing apps and you won't get errors
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
please update what happened when you REBOOT in to system?

did SONY allowed you in to android or it also ASKED you password since /data partition was remounted and wiped by Recovery ?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jomoteck:
Sony allowed me into Android, at this point there was no encryption for me.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
So this is my first update that I'm flashing without wipes. Which of the additional files beyond the custom kernel need to be reflashed? I assume all of them, right?

A second question since there's an opportunity to ask someone who seems knowledeable and maybe - idk - this has something to do with the shared setup:

Whenever I insert my microSD card it claims it's corrupted, even after reformatting it using the phone OR my Windows PC. (using the renowned SD Card Formatter by Tuxera)

I know the card is working in other Android devices and my PC can read it just fine. Unfortunately I can't test other cards right now using my Xperia, but this seems odd, no?

Anything I could try? I tried googling this, but there's not a lot of useful information that I could source.

Do I have to flash fcs thermal? I think I'm having more burn-in display problem if I flssh it
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
1. PLEASE view attached images, image 1 shows if all these ticks perfromed, it will wipe your device and perform clean flashing. if you keep them unchecked then it wont touch the setup and will upgrade you only. however just remember if you don't flash clean, personally I have noticed poor battery life; specially when device is upgraded from Android x to Android X+1 as compare to updates between builds from sony on same Android.

2. image2 is just to show that you can skip fotakernel if you already have twrp installed. (optional)

3. about sdcard. if the card is formated on ntfs. it wont be readable. please format your card on fat32 via windows and try again. (but then its already working on other android devices, I will research some more)

Hi,

I need help,please.

Yesterday I tryed to flash the new update of oreo.

And I tryed to root my phone, but after this its in bootloop.

So i flashed once more and than i got this message:

Those data are not in the fsc script and will be skipped: RESET-NON-SECURE-ADB???

So what is happend and was can i do?

I can flashed my phone, but not rooten!?

Siggi
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
About that Fsc Script Warning just click ok and proceed.

I would like to help you, what exactly you flashed to have bootloops?

what build number are you flashing ?

please specify
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] siggi77:
Ok

Thx for your help.

I flashed 34.4.A.2.19.

And i used the description in post 1.

exactly step by step.

After boot in recovery mode so I want to install drm and magisk.

But the intern sd was empty.

So i go back to boot and i see the sony logo, thats it.

Siggi
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] siggi77:
I flashed once more and I see the problem is the clean.img.

If I flashed 34.4.2.19 or 34.4.A.0.364 so its the same problem...

Why is this???
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
If Android had a no-BS, all-encompassing offline backup option like iOS does, I'd do that in a heart beat.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
I would say judging Android just because of sony xperia is unfair. Android is open source and flashing tweaking samsung, lenovo, Xaiomi and xperia has difference between world's. What doesn't work for Sony due do vendor limitations may work for other devices. Like lenovo k6 can be rooted by unlocking bootloader and u can still recieve OTA. OnePlus devices support dual boot and ofcourse there is not concept of drmkeys with them

Your argument may be valid till sony xperias only :highfive:
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] siggi77:
So...

I found a solution

I flashed or installed the clean.img with twrp

So my phone is rooted

Thx for help
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] depressed_:
Android isn't as open source as people think. Only AOSP is available but drivers and the rest made by vendors is proprietary. Look at how much you lose of functionality in Xperia phones if not using a stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
if twrp is not reading your sd card then you need OTG cable , attach usb drive at one end

after flashing stock rom 34.4.A.2.19., boot in to system, login to google account etc, switchoff then flash KERNEL, and then FLASH TWRP and then from USB OTG flash DRM FIX and MAGISK
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
the AOSP code is out and Google has release most of its work over the years hoever every VENDOR has its right to copyright its work w.r.t to hardware given in the device. Like XZP has motion shutter 960fps/sec which will stop working if you bootunlock. some Vendors gives more flexibility then others. however we are way better off than being on iphone. xperias are amazing phones but they don't encourage you once you unlock the boot. I guess its somewhat similar to jailbreaking iphone? My friends told me that once jailbreak you won't able to access apstore nor OTA

however i have another xperia x which i am using omnirom. linage is also good choice and both roms wakeup rooted.

no problems there

Hi,

i'm trying to downgrade my device for unlock the bootloader but i have a question on the following point:

1. upgrade the version from 0.9.23.1 to 0.9.23.X by replacing x10flasher.jar files (given in that page) at C:\Flashtool

this is no required with new version of flashtool right? i can't find any "x10flasher.jar" on flashtool page
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] depressed_:
It's not required
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
Hello.. I want to downgrade to nougat now too.

I am planning to flash stock 7.1.1 .252 as you recommended in another thread, to get better battery life and stability,

But, your archives and instructions say not to use drm fix?

What drm fix file should i use exactly?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
the Nougat kernels already have drmfixed, you don't need to use the drmfix.zip via twrp, thats only for Oreo kernels

just flash the kernel, flash magisk(via twrp) and reboot
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleeper994:
when I flash clean.img I get bootloop. I've followed your steps for 34.4.A.2.19., flashed with flashtool, and after booting to oreo and enbling usb debbuging i tried flashing clean.img and I get bootloop to SONY logo.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
It seems the SD card error (the constant prompt to reformat) came from flashing one of the zips in TWRP.

Flashed DRM Fix, Magisk and Thermal. I did use the SD card for a short while before rebooting into TWRP (to see if the files are visible on my phone as well) and once flashed the SD card is unusable on this phone at least. Guess the SD card reader driver got shot by one of the flashables? I don't know.

Also, I did not wipe data, because the whole idea was to upgrade my OS whilst keeping my root.

If I wanted to start afresh from zero... idk about you guys, but I really don't dig going through all the settings all over again as long as there isn't a solid backup option that "just works". Yes, I'm spoiled coming from Apple and I don't expect iOS simplicity - or limitations - in every way, but backup and restore I expect to be flawless. If it isn't for upgrades, I'll do the dirty route.

34.4.A.2.32 / 15march2018
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
kindly use USB OTG to flash zips

I use JumpDrive

if both aren't possible for you then you can always use adb sideload feature in twrp. Connecting mobile to pc via usb cable, put required zips in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" (e.g magisk.zip) then from twrp menu select adb sideload; once the sideload is running type "adb sideload magisk.zip" (file name has to be EXACT) and once file is loaded , twrp will flash it. you can try flashing multiple files one by one (sequencially) with the same procedure

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] iH8Ecchi:
Personally i have bootloops with magisk modules. I was able to get out of it using the magisk uninstaller zip.

That said, there is a safety practice that i think everyone should be applying. Always keep uninstaller zips of magisk, xposed, substratum and stuff on your SD card. Also, backup common system files and place them on your PC so that you can ADB push them back in case your mods go wrong. This should be able to get you out of bootloops in most cases.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
The problem isn't flashing the ZIPs...

The problem is that the normal user environment doesn't mount the SD card without constant prompts to format.

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] venomxob:
Be aware. Every Xperia with the march security patch gets into bootloop after installing system/less xposed. It doesn't matter if it's X, X Compact or XZ. I had to get back to 34.4.A.2.19 to get the xposed working again.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

That's strange. I had xposed installed on every firmware beginning from 6.0 to 8.0, not including the latest build of 8.0.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] venomxob:
Here's a proof.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
Yikes... Complete reset for every damn security update. :(

Any way to get a decrypted backup of all of /data and then restore it from within TWRP? I can't be the only one being bothered by factory resetting every time there's an update... :silly:

Then again, I only want to use the rootable kernel, DRM-fix and Magisk. No debloat. Do I still have to do this step?

Edit:

Amazing, my .32 FTF doesn't work. Errored out on system.sin before, now on modem.sin.

Really missing the one-click-root days! Yuck...

And yes, tried redownloading to no avail. And yes, I'm on the latest XperiFirm and FlashTool version. Win7 x64
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Syoenth:
Can I unlock the bootloader on Nougat firmware or I must downgrade to MM?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
if you are stuck on system.sin file then this usually means data transfer issue! the system sin is 6gb of flashing data!

could you try with different cable and port?

oneclick root days are gone and debloat has nothing to do with gaining root access as optional! debloat is something different and cannot be put as conditional firmware having root.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
with some hardware! it doesnt work!

or shall i say! that since i am always using MEA ARABIC version! with that build adn cda the xpose doesnt work! , should be using India/ austraillia or any other build! MAYBE!

i am not sure its hardware issues or stockrom!

I never tried xposed on omnirom!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
I know one-click days are gone, that's why I said I miss them... :,(

I know debloat is optional, that wasn't the question.

The question is whether wiping /data in TWRP is absolutely necessary for flashing custom kernel, DRM-fix and Magisk.

Data transfer issues? I really really doubt it's the cable or port, I've had successful flashes before on this setup.

:confused:

Edit/Addition:

Well, it was good old Bitdefender throwing me off again... Silly me :D

Either way, back to the issue of my SD card not working outside of TWRP on my Xperia...

Must have been one of the flashes I did in TWRP. I'm probably best off waiting for a new TWRP release that fixes the encryption prompt, because I'll be damned to wipe all my data.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] kyntoxicity:
sorry
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:

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

the card works on other devices?

yes, i personally experienced many times where same setup didn't work
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
Fair enough. So it's not really TWRP's fault.

And yes, the SD card works on Windows, on my Xperia X in TWRP or before any flashes (so basically stock unrooted vanilla Oreo and Nougat before that including flashes and root) and other Android devices.

It's formatted as exFAT right now, but formatting using Android's initializing of new SD cards doesn't work either. It will format the card and literally the second it finishes Android alerts me it's corrupt again.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
any other sdcards works fine on your X ?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] mahdi128:
is there any way to get xposed in latest build?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
Nope, I can rule everything out. It's just my Xperia X in the normal user environment with the custom kernel.

TWRP, other devices all unaffected. Any SD card returns this error. This has been a problem on a previous Oreo release already.

Nice instructions! I used them, but created my own kernel using the instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74724162&postcount=2793 TA PoC works well with Xperia X.

I think the instructions may contain an error where they instruct to reboot after wiping /data in TWRP (before flashing Magisk). I did a boot to system in between wiping /data and flashing Magisk and it seems that safety net was not always passing. Reflashing Magisk from inside Magisk Manager fixed the issue so not a big deal.
