Repacked v8 androplus working fine

Now adding persist.sys.touch.easywakeup=1

To build.prop and double tap to wakup screen is working fine.

I see more consuption in ram manager but it is fine about 300-400 mb ram more consumed

For the camera pictures are better than before

And for battery is fine.

About safety net, not passing. (False)

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
I'm using androplus v8 repack and passing safety net on magisk 15.2 (and previous versions)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
Done.

Flashed Magisk v15.2 not working for the first time.

Now it passed . Used Magisk-v15.2(1520) it is ok with me.

Maybe beta version working and stable one no.

Thank you for your work

Whooop... holidays are done. Now I'm back in business. I will update XperiFIX with the latest fw version and also with the fixes for XZ1 and XZ1c. As soon as it's done, I'll post again. Cheers! :)

Does PS4 Remote Play works with this fix (with Magisk hide)?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
welcome back bro.

hope u have happy holidays.

cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Charos87:
It does indeed on mine mate but I haven't had to use Magisk hide for it to work.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] artpra:
Thnx, are you rooted?

It`s interesting that you got it running without hiding root, this app is very picky about it.

With androplus repack v8 i have a problem with mobile network.

When connecting to a wifi network and going out mobile data can't connect i want to restart my phome every time to get lte+ ot h+ or....

Also when connecting to wifi , when turning it off i got signal but mobile data not working i can't get lte+ or somthing like this working , i want to restart phome to works. Also wifi got more time to connect.

Any solution

Getting the drm fix for XZ1c into xperifix will effectively give me back a phone I thought I'd made unusable (thanks Sony!). Many thanks, and I expect that's worth a donation.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] VeixES:
I hope any of the experienced guys would be able to help me.

Which would be the correct way to modify build.prop in xz premium oreo? via root editor(fx edit) + chmod 644 results in bootloop. Also same if i pull/push build.prop via adb when device is in twrp.

Any hints welcomed, currently feeling going in circles.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] nevenx:
will ported google camera work on device after this?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
Was about to flash it but I think it's for the G8141. Can you also repack it for G8142?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] tolol:
anyone try magisk 15.2 update ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
Yes

15.2(1520)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Actually, the default.prop says maple_dsds (ie. dual sim), but seems to work on both, so no need for a separate repack.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Try mobile data always on in developer options. Otherwise it could be a bug in the kernel that androplus would need to fix.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
maybe kernel bug.

trying mobile data always on and same problem.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
Aaaand right you are! Flashed it and works perfectly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] avi312singh:
Possible to use [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] latest TWRP 3.2 with this... I'm on 47.1.A.8.49 with the patched kernel released earlier in this thread... Thanks

Also is anyone on the androplus kernel with this fix, how would i flash it...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroPlus:
Does it happens on non-repacked v8?

I couldn't reproduce the bug even on repacked v8.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
On non repacked it is fine. No problem

With the repacked i have the problem. Every time connecting to wifi, when turning wifi off i can't got mobile data connected.

With shoey63 dsds kernel for 8.49 it is fine no problem @ all.

I have xz premium dual version.

I can test for you any updated version if you want to test any.

Thank you and hope to solve the problem asap

Edit:

Problem with androplusrepack.zip

No problem with G8142dsdsdrmfix-kernel.zip

In the .zip file attached there are two screen recorded

Unzip to have the two record

Look @ the v8 wifi takes too long and not connected and no mobile data connected
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverGamer_YT:
Yes it works
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Then its my fault. Try this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329071054

This time I repacked in Linux instead of windows to avoid weird file permission/ownership issues.

Please test and report back.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
i will report back.

testing now

Same bug bro. When no wifi or turning off wifi no mobile data connected, also when reconnecting to wifi it takes long to connect.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
OK. No idea how to solve the issue, but thanks for testing.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
welcome bro.

hope anyone solve the bug, or Storm add the double tab to wake up in his next kernel like androplus

[MENTION=236992]Storm[/MENTION] // hi god, u can make work the google camera with the hdr+ and the blur for xz premium? i really like those but all the apps crash. i'm waiting for u answer. Thx.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] patrol-cz:
Hi there!

Sorry for my following questions. This thread is huge and I can't read carefully all the posts, as it evolved in time.

I need to root my XZP. The primary reason is that my carrier (T-Mobile Czechia) doesn't have this phone in the portfolio, so the customized firmware is not available. It means no VoLTE, no VoWiFi. And I need these. I know how to enable them but I need to write to /system (modify build.prop, add some overlays etc). This and only this is the reason why I need to root my phone.

Until now, I don't see any possibility how to do it without unlocking BL. But I don't want to lose camera and display advanced features. And this solution seems to offer exactly this :).

So, let me ask the following, please:

- Does this mod really allow full root access ? i.e. remounting /system r/w (defeating ric and dm-verity), installing busybox etc. ? I don't need Magisk, SuperSU/SuperUser is enough for me.

- Does it keep the camera, display and fingerprint sensor in the same functionality as before unlock ?

- Will it be updated for the future new OS releases ? Is it working with current Oreo (47.1.A.8.49) flawlessly ?

- Is the manual incorporation of the mod described in other thread still valid ? I don't have windows so I cannot use XperiFIX as it isn't available for Linux.

Sorry again for asking maybe stupid questions, but you know: XZP is not a cheap crap and I have to weight all pros/cons of this mod to decide, whether to go ahead or maybe wait for another rooting method which doesn't require unlocking...

With regards, Pavel
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=5266391]patrol-cz[/MENTION]

Yes you got full root, but it better to use Magisk, as this drmfix was made to work with that, plus you can hide root for some apps. System apps can be removed.

I have installed manually drm fix for the current rom.

Camera, fingerprint and all display functions work.

That's the answer for the other questions.

Btw, there are no other root methods without unlocking.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
After certain users have not kept to agreements, but instead distribute my work (unofficial things for other devices) to other users who then sell it as theirs, I will post here for the next time no update. I can also invest my time better.

Cheers! ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SyLvEsTeR20007:
Friend, I am deviated for this, I unlocked my bootloader because you told me that you keep your devices from a long time, now I feel seriously screwed not even having an oreo version of your tool to use. Why is selling your work, where can I find your work or do I need to pay you for a private link?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
Mate, thats EXTREMELY upsetting to hear, but you have good reasons. I just wish that people did the right thing rather than wreck stuff for everyone. All the best mate, it was good while it lasted. Name and shame the thieves so we all know who is to blame.

Edit: Never mind, found it.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

There are 3 Oreo versions supported.. .254 .51 and .49, kernel for latest version a page or two back.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrainAFK:
Sad... I reckt my boot image and dont have any backups of the firmware so I have to install the newest oreo.... and now I cant even get the drmfix. Shame on the people stealing all the rep.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SyLvEsTeR20007:
Thanks friend, but I was only willing to unlock because this guy told me he would be updating the tool for the life of his phone, and he said he keeps a phone till it is all but dead (I paraphrase). I am aware of the other methods but did not unlock my bootloader on account of them.

I'll happily pay to get the tool from this guy on private download (I'll pay per version release if he likes) because it is a one stop tool. Can we all not find a way to protect his work from being stolen or at the very least compensate him? Someone already dropped him 100€ and since then he has not released a single update. If I were that guy, I would be really pissed off.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrainAFK:
id also pay for a private dl of latest fix even if its monthly.

[MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] would you even do smth like private dls for money?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Moarten:
First of all: It sucks something like this happens, but stuff like this happens on the internet. I respect your decision not to update it anymore because of this.

Secondly I want to say that relying on 1 person for a fix like this is risky anyway. What if sToRm loses his phone/drives over it/drops it in a canyon? Then suddenly there will be no more DRM patches and everyone is #rekt. A community driven fix instead of relying on 1 person would be the better option. It sucks this device doesn't have the community (size) it deserves on XDA.

Thirdly, I don't know how many people donated, but given thats not enough, I doubt sToRm does it for the money.

Finally I want to thank storm for the effort he has put into this fix, hopefully he will reconsider or others will enjoy finding fixes in the future (I'll dive into the android hacking stuff)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ishemes:
Yes... I donated $30 last week to thank [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] for his hard work and motivate him to continue. Although I understand he is angry, I'm really disappointed by the decision. Perhaps we can do a private group for people who donated or who want to donate. Since I assume [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] is making the fix for himself anyway, just drop us a zip file :angel:. No need for a tool in my opinion.

Or perhaps let us know how you did it and let somebody else take over. It's what happened with the last update from [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] which is working great.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] patrol-cz:
Hi!

Thanks for your reply, it looks very promising.

Please just one supplementary qeustion: You wrote that you did it for the "current rom". But there are at least two versions of it: An older one, 47.1.A.5.51, which is listed as supported by XperiFIX, and a newer one, 47.1.A.8.49, which is NOT listed and files for it are not present in XperiFIX (I already downloaded it and unpacked the files from it). Some regional/carrier customizations are on the 8.49 ROM, while others are still on 5.51. So, is it safe and fully functional to use the 5.51 files from XperiFIX on 8.49 ? sToRm explicitly warns users to carefully check, whether they have supported version of ROM...

With regards, Pavel
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Just to make things clear. My kernels/repacks are done in accordance with instructions provided by sToRm// in this thread (plus a bit of tweaking to make magisk 15+ work).

The drm fix is, and always will be the work of [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION]

I am also willing to pay for new patches when the old ones become redundant.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ishemes:
I did not intend to suggest you did this without accordance with sToRm//. I just tried to give an example how it worked out well when somebody else made the patch. Thank you for that by the way.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] vmicovic:
hi, i have issue with driver for load mode, i got blue light and system device dont recognize ... i installed xz premium driver and adb driver from google, but nothing...

where i am wrong?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Doom Slayer:
Yes, it works perfectly on 8.49.

Just download kernel and follow instructions from this post.

For your information some people reported that camera may stop working after updating magisk from 14.5 to 15.2. So you may want to keep 14.5 till the next update. Or you can try, and revert back in case it stop working.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] derjaeger:
Hello,

I really hoped to shed some other contents to my 1st post in this thread, which I have read from the very first message. BTW, like somebody else already said before, it was this thread and the *wonderful* work of Storm which made me buy last week my new XZP, which considering what happened, thanks God, i haven't rooted yet.

Now the situation is:

-some troll pissed off our friend Storm, no more updates available

-Shoey63 gave his valuable contribution to keep pace with 8.49 bit there is still the lack of an updated tool or toolset which keeps the pace with rolling updates of twrp, magisk and, eventually, drmfix; situation will get worse

-recent meltdown+spectre disclosure will for sure require some arm microcode update (as already happening in Linux for Intel) which means there will be, likely in this quarter, some critical update to Oreo

Possible choices are the following:

1. Not rooting XZP anymore, and thus defeating the reason of the buy

2. Rooting and making a jump to the sad village of "you're on your own"

My personal thought for Storm is:

My friend, although I don't know you personally, I have lived in your country and learnt how much people there are proud of the things they earned with hard work and how much they hate when unfair events interfere with that.

This also happens to all the good people who have values and respect, wherever they are.

There will always be assholes everywhere, we cannot avoid that.

What really matters, beyond personal scorn, is the good that we made to others, which eventually always comes back!

Please Storm, have a look at the hundreds of messages of people here in this thread who bless every single word of yours... there is a plenty of others which have not yet written anything who are also grateful to you.

Like somebody wrote, I do not believe it's matter of money, although I am ready to offer you a supertasty pizza when you will come to Italy :)

I think some idiot wounded your good will and that hurts.

But, we outnumber that idiot with a legion of your fans who do not deserve that the idiot wins the battle against you. We will always be thankful to you!

Thank you for reading these words.

Please reconsider.

Danke sehr!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] patrol-cz:
Hi!

I'm also willing to support the development of the DRM fixing patches and tools. Now I'm deciding whether to go ahead or wait a moment until the situation settles a bit. But definitely, I think S**Y will strike back and with new kernel/system updates they will change things to make the current patches not working and they will need to be not only updated but maybe totally overwritten (the ethernal fight of developers versus hackers :) ). So, it would be really nice to maintain a community of people which are recognizing the skills and can evaluate the time spent by sToRm and other "freedom side developers"!

[MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] and all people here in the thread

Latest update for the fix is 14 decembet 2017

For firmware 5.52

More than 4weeks and no update.

Op said that he give us update for every version ,

Sony relased 8.49 and all people want to update their phone, storm is busy and magisk has updated to v14.6 and 15 and 15.2, our phone has problem with the update and op is busy with other thread and has vacation.

In this time our bro shoey63 give us a kernel and help us to update our phone and magisk.

This is not the final of the world.

We are here to help others all are brothers and like a family.

In xz forum we have a lot of good people who make kernel and rom for free and we are the tester of their work. Why here for xz premium we didn't work together and forget what happen.

Hope to have future update in time, we are good people.
