It's great to know about your love of Androplus, but this is a thread about Xperiafix.

sToRm// will release an update that covers the new firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
Didn't storm mention that the new XperiFix will work with all future devices and firmware variants?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Yes he did. He also requested users have patience until he releases it. (not you specifically, just in general [emoji6])
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Hakkinen3K:
What's the difference between androplus kernel and stock kernel?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Why not ask on the Androplus thread ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
When Xperiafix says ' reboot to recovery' you need to unplug it, go into recovery manually (turn the phone off, wait 5 seconds, hold the volume down (-), then press the power until it vibrates, then hold the volume down a couple more seconds)

Once into recovery, swipe right to allow read/write permissions. Go into 'mount' and tick next to system. Plug the phone back in and wait for Xperiafix to count down and ask if it should continue.

There might be a driver error too. Do you have Sony USB drivers installed when it's connected via TWRP?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] CRYX:
:confused: maybe this driver can help you. to replace under the ANDROID driver of the device manager Good luck ! ;)

*a THANK if it works ;)

Hey guys. Im new to this thread and haven't read all of it (its a bit big) I have a few questions and hope somebody can answer them.

1. Does this work if my xz premium is on Android Oreo.

2. How safe is it (provided that i follow everything and don't do stupid stuff at my end) is there a chance it won't work?

3. I get that if i root the phone that's it.. no going back. Will that pose an issue in the future?

4. Will i be able to get official OS updates from Sony after i root the phone?

These question may very well be dumb but i have never rooted a single phone in my life so i don't know much about it.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
PLEASE SEE MY ANSWERS BELOW ,

please note that I haven't bought the device but soon I will and the moment i get it i will root it!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashen_-_One28:
You said that if i flash my phone with new update the root will be void right? Does that mean that ill lose all the premium stuff like slow-mo and othera until i root the phone again?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
when ever you FLASH / ReFlash , Same or NEW build, rooting is voided because every new BUILD has its OWN kernel. so you must make necessary changes in the KERNEL.

hence everytime you flash your xzp via flashtool the rooting will be void and you have to run this TOOL XPERIFIX again in order to do the MAGIC.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashen_-_One28:
Does the flash/reflash have any effect on the boot loader? Or does it stay unlocked? And one last question. I'm a little nervous to root phone because it is my daily driver and i really don't have a spare one and because it's as you said an expensive phone. Are there any real benefits to rooting it? I mean legit reasons to do so. If so can you tell them.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Charos87:
Yes I do!

Start with the 75 version and then flash the 119 version via newsflash but do not reboot once flashed. Instead just use the programme as normal then reboot. Works flawlessly on my ee uk firmware. The issue seems to be when the programme knows your on 119 it wouldn't root or fix drm for me
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
1. bootloader is a DOOR, once you unlock it, IT CAN NEVER BE CLOSED AGAIN (NOT ON XZP)

2. you can flash / re flash as many times as you want! bootloader will never be locked again! , DRM keys are lost, TA Parition is wiped! , unless you send back to sony and they order a new motherboard! and reinstate NEW DRMKEYS and LOCK the bootloader again for you, there is no other way!

3. (ROOTING means having unconditional access to /system folder) Benefits of having ROOT ACCESS ??,,, well that varies user to user! , as for me!

a. i want to increase system /volume speakers by meddling mixer_patch.xml file

b. alter whatsapp setting to send receive video / file near 1gb (from 16mb)

c. change mock mac addresses to confuse LAN WIFI Networks

d. with xposed installer, alter navigation bar buttons , sizes

e. battery saving modules, doze

f. remove all sony bloatware! release so much of Ram. / DEBLOAT XZP

e. patching host files via Adaway (ad blocker)

f. obtaining KEY file of whatsapp and keeping historic chat data on pc and decrypt it with that KEY file

g. enable api and replace sony stock camera app with google pixel camera App.

and much more! , i am not sure what are you looking for. but then if you are not going to xperiment more after having root access and you are trying to have root access just for the sake of having one! then I would suggest you; don't do it!.

I currently own Z5 and X

I prefer to wait for the official version of [MENTION=236992]Storm[/MENTION], do we ever know, it will not work and I should do the work again and lose my data.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] feek.404:
For me:

- ability to easily debloat device (uninstall Sony's ****ware like the What's New app)

- makes it possible to clone/emulate NFC cards with your phone

- can install apps that require root like AdAway, Titanium Backup and much more...

- find out which apps wake up your phone and eat your battery & get rid of them

- hide/change the bottom navigation bar

How to get in recovery

Since I've use your tool and complete the drm fix. I cannot find the magsik and I can't reboot to recovery. Plz tell me how can I reboot to recovery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Perhaps you want to try reading back a few pages, all the answers on how to get this working are in the thread.

Jumping to the end and posting a question won't further your developer skills.

Try adding a log file to help us a little bit.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
It looks like there is a problem with the SD card permissions. Did you swipe right to allow read/write in recovery? Mount system ? You need to disable any sort of screen lock on the device before starting. Otherwise TWRP can't get access to the file system. If TWRP asks you for a password when it starts, it means your drive is encrypted and screen lock protected, you need to put your pin number in for it to unlock.

Hi [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION]

Well done on all your hard work once again... I don't think anyone here has anything to complain. I cannot be happier to have this page supporting my G8141 and the new XZ2 is not worth for an upgrade IMO at this point... So again thank you for all the hard work!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Hakkinen3K:
Strange, is all happened so fast ? It was a fight but, now is rooted and all, after 2 hours.

So where can I find any of the supported firmwares for the XZ1 Compact?

I got one with the ancient 47.1.A.5.51 and it'll only install the newest via OTA (41.1.A.12.119) , and XperiFirm also only has the latest firmware besides some funky regions or test/store firmware, and I can only find even sketchier, not to mention molasses slow downloads sites with them.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Start Xperia fix, when it says reboot to recovery, unplug it and go into recovery manually (power off, wait 5 seconds. volume down(-) and power till it vibrates, let go of power, wait a couple of seconds let go of volume down (-))

Swipe to allow write. Go into mount, tick system, make sure the 'read only' box at the bottom is unticked.

Plug the phone back in.

Let Xperiafix finish doing its magic.

.119 works good for me on old xperifix files and magisk v16 ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Macs1209:
.119 method worked for me on G8142 (while not updated XperiFix):

Downloaded G8142_Customized CE1_1308-8226_47.1.A.12.119_R4B with XperiFirm

Created bundle and flashed device with FlashTool (fsc modified, only the elabel filename replaced)

Flashed xzp-twrp.img with fastboot from XperiFix 2.2.0.0 folder

Copied the following files to device, and flashed with TWRP in the following order:

1. drmpatch.zip (from XperiFix 1.2.0.0, original file was in C:\XperiFIX\DATA\XZP\G8142\Oreo2)

2. xperifix.zip (from XperiFix 2.2.0.0)

3. magisk160.zip (from XperiFix 2.2.0.0)

Before reboot, dalvik cache cleared.

Now working fine without any issues :) (but not hardly tested)

Hey, i just unlocked bootloader and after i saw that xperifirm is not supported for last firmware :( Now my camera is shooting green images, please help me.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Update 2.3 is on it's way my friends. I just have a few personal "bugs" actually (private...). The next version will have some new features, which are perfect for coming firmware updates. You can add different firmware versions manually to test if it works. There will also be a ne function to report bugs/logs/success. Also there will be a automatic update function for other devices and versions. And... **drum-roll**... The first Linux version will be released, too. But please be patient, I need a few days to release it.

:highfive:

Because of the fact that this project takes a huge amount of time and also costs a bit, I play with the thought of a special "donator version" that can keep the future work and motivation. XperiFIX (old and new versions) was downloaded 150k+ times over the last 6 months and I invested tons of hours to make it work with different devices. It's not about the money (you all know) but I think in future it could be a bigger project and maybe not only for Sony devices and not only for Root/DRM. A big problem is also the support. I get tons of emails and some users try to contact me on FB and phone (doooon't do that, especially if you live in a country where it is day while it is night here... hahaha...), too. I think I could do much more... Like I said... Only a thought this time... We will see.

:cowboy:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] b_rad42:
Thank you so much oh my god I'm so happy. I'm so glad to have my DRM keys back thank you so much :))
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley.raver:
Just to confirm you do realize that these are not your real DRM Key's? once bootloader is unlocked you have lost those and any warrenty. Unless you back up the TA partition before unlocking bootloader and backup your keys. This only creates a work around for the missing keys.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] b_rad42:
Yeah lol sorry I forgot. But yes; I don't really care about my warranty because I have another that is not voided by root. The only three things that irritated me about root were that pictures would turn green, I couldn't install updates from my phone, and the warning that comes up when you boot. Xperifix fixed the camera issue, Flashfire the update, and I still haven't found a (safe) fix for the warning, but this fix was amazing regardless. I know it just simulates keys, but for me that is enough. Thanks so much though
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley.raver:
no worries mate - just double checking incase someone with no clue comes in and sees this and they do want to keep their warrenty LOL

besides parts a cheap enough to do your own repairs :laugh:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Michele2:
any fix for warning that comes up when you boot? Someone says that is only an image in \ramdisk\res\images\warning, will you fix? thanks for your work [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] b_rad42:
Unfortunately not; the warning is built into your bootloader. Theoretically it is possible (I don't know how to though), but it requires your bootloader to be modified which could hard brick your phone (something that Sony's flash tool CAN'T fix).

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

Thanks - and yeah that makes sense lol

Haha yeah I'm not that good at repairs (I can code but I'm not great at the physical aspect) but that's a good idea. I just bought the conditionless (besides losing it) warranty because I don't want to break an $800 phone even more in repair lol

Thanks so much though
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Michele2:
I thought like you before, but I've read in another topic for xperia x that the icon isn't in bootloader but in ramdisk that sToRm has already edited, maybe there is hope.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mustang2011:
This maybe a silly question but I want to know, if for some reason I get my motherboard changed, will the bootloader be locked again and phone become like new?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] the_brad:
I just checked that and I think, what you mean is the DM-verity warning pictures, that lay there. Though these warning seem very similar to the bootloader warning, it is a completely different security system (which can indeed be disabled by kernel modification). See the picture attached.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
The SD drive is built into the motherboard, so yes any replacement would come with TA partition intact.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Same here. Leaved SONY after the Z3 (Z3+/Z4 Bullsh**) and wanted to join back the Family with the XZ Premium. Sadly was i out of Money for some Time but i was finally able to get one (G8141 64GB). The XZ2 looks like a Pregnant Bit** and the XZ1 hasn't this nice XZ Premium Top and Bottom besides missing 4K. So here i am...

Without this DRM Fix would i not consider buying a SONY again. The lack of Treble and full HAL3 is really bad, but as long as the Camera works at all am i fine. I remeber bricking the Cam back on My Z1 (After Unlocking on KitKat), it was a shame...

Can't wait to hold My new Baby in the Hands. First Thing to do is doing OTAs and unlocking the Bootloader. Using this tool and play around with root on Stock for a while before trying out AOSP to compare the feel. Really hyped!

To downgrade unlock the bootloader and then use Sony's EMMA software. I did that and now have Nougat 7.1.1.
