Sony USB drivers

Google USB drivers

There are problems with installing drivers in WIndows10 and you'll need to look up installing with driver signing disabled, under safe mode.

Windows chooses the wrong driver by default when connecting the phone with TWRP running. This is the one that is most likely to be giving you problems.

Hello, when xperifix starting install everything, and twrp is turning on phone, you need to swipe left and allow something ( i dont remember what there is written) and after this xperifix will install magisk and drmfix too. Sorry for my bad English.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sam_2776:
I tried everything to install the drivers and it still does not work

and precisely this step or I must sweep to the left and allow something it does not happen

I do not know why

If you want you can have the lastest software just you need to flash everything manually

but will that solve the problem ?

should the phone be rooted?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Vulkanodox:
wow thanks for the help

the vid/adb quick installer were the solution.

The other two didnt work at all.

Would be quite useful to post this in the faq as tons of people ask about this here and dont get to a solution

So, did xperifix just work as intended with. .145? Cause when I connect it it states my device isn't supported. Of course it's also not listed in the supported firmware on the main post.

Xperifix is a windows tool, thats how it works. It will install twrp and magisk and fix up the green pictures.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Sure dude. I worked the whole last night on it. I implemented manual device settings, so it will work for a lot of other devices and new firmware versions. The relevant images and zips will be downloaded for the related device while patching. Developers can create their own device settings, too.

You can stop (kill process) and disable the system app "com.sonyericsson.updatecenter". This should disable the OTA update notifications.

I hope someone can help me with this one. I managed to get my Xperia fixed, I then upgraded my firmware and reran the Xperiafix application which completed but did not work (green photos and Xperia backup/restore not working). I then downgraded my firmware to the original version that worked originally, Xperiafix again completed successfully, but this time it didn't work.

1) Should I tick certain boxes in Flashtool to wipe some/all of my data (Not sure which ones to tick), and

2)anyone know where to download OEM firmwares as the supported versions aren't listed on XperiFlash anymore..

This is for a Xperia ZX Premium.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sam_2776:
you said it worked the first time, why have updated days then? I think it was not

can you give me the details of the first time?

because for me it does not work

thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] G4goodservice:
The only firmware I could find that worked with the tool was a branded AU firmware, I upgraded to a newer firmware that was not branded (custom Nordic). This broke the fix, I reflashed the branded AU, and the fix did not work for the phone again.

I'm wondering if it would work if I used Emma to flash to one of the sony custom firmwares, and then I'm looking for a (supported version) OEM version to flash back to in order for the fix to work.

(Reading my post again, I'm thinking I'm massively over complicating this...)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] G4goodservice:
So I've played around a little more, using EMMA to flash to Firmware @47.1.A.12.75 (Nordic) - I believe is you are using Emma, then it re partitions the drive (so clean install)?

I then reran Xperifix, which didn't work, so I booted manually in to recovery from my phone and "always allowed access" while swiping right as it didn't ask me to swipe right after the first try of running XperiFix.

I reran Xperifix, and it worked the second time, allowing me to login to Xperia account services and using the camera. I'm not happy with this firmware though, so I'll try the process again with a different firmware. Any idea how to fix a phone on the latest firmware?

Hello, how can i turn off update notification? 75 version
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
The answer to your question is within this thread. If you read it you'll work it out. Once Xperiafix says reboot to TWRP, you need to unplug your phone, turn it off, restart into TWRP, go into mount, tick system. Make sure read only is unticked at the bottom, plug the phone back in and Xperiafix will finish its magic. If it doesn't, then it's a problem with your ADB driver.

But no one can help until you post the log files from Xperiafix folder

HI flashed the kernel then the DRMpatch zip files in order and still getting green pics

Please advise, on .145 customised UK stock fw

Customisation shouldn't matter. Re-download and try again (make sure md5 sums match), and if that doesn't work, wait for the xperifix update.

Bootloader unlock, DRM, Playstore Apps

It seems ghat with the bootloader unlocked (my firmware version. .145 isn't supported by xperifix yet and I was too lazy to undo the bootloader unlock. However., some apps such as Netflix will not longer show in the Playstore. Which, I assume is a DRM issue with the device appearing not secure.

Update v2.3:

Today the new update 2.3 appeared. From now on, users have control over the device settings. Various images can be used for TWRP, the Magisk version can be customized and much more. Thus, in future updates of the firmware, easily via the settings of the respective source can be set. This makes updating easier and also allows developers to make their own settings. It also makes it possible to test XperiFIX on other devices that are not yet officially supported.

XperiFIX now supports the following devices and firmware versions:

Sony Xperia XZ Premium (G8141, G8142)

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.145

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.119

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.75

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.34

– Firmware @47.1.A.8.49

Sony Xperia XZ1 (G8341, G8342, G8343)

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.145

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.119

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.75

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.34

– Firmware @47.1.A.8.49

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (G8441, G8442)

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.145

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.119

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.75

– Firmware @47.1.A.12.34

– Firmware @47.1.A.8.49

With the update to 2.3, I also decided to release a licensed version. I have already explained the reasons for this on XDA. I have been slain by support requests for months and invest a lot of time in development. In addition, of course, the software used also costs money, as well as the hosting, etc. The time I invest in the project, of course, I lack for the work. Of course, the money will also be invested in the project. I have many ideas to expand the software. Anyway, I ask for your understanding.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] vsEnjoi:
Developer has updated the software. However it is now a mandatory €20 purchase.

Whilst I appreciate the work required and that he doesn't have to make this software, €20 seems a tad steep to me...

I personally need this as I unlocked my bootloader without checking my software version (cus i'm an idiot, my fault, I know) and now my camera is non functional, but I am a student and I don't really have €20 spare :/

First time I read something like this. Did you install other mods, too? Maybe you could try run XperiFIX again and post logs from XperiFIX application folder.

Yes I could try that but its a lot of money sorry for gettin heated but I really dont know what to do with it iv tried xposed with oreo lock screen mods force closed and xposed saying not compatable with my phone iv changed the system fonts seems ok with that magisk force closes when trying selinux root explorer force closes but its saying im rooted with root checker and camera is fine

You are using Xposed? Maybe that's the problem. There were some users that had similar issues with Xposed.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] md1982:
No I tried xposed its not on my phone anymore iv got rid of it im on the 49 firmware I dont know if this anything to do with it I dont know wether to update my phone to latest fw factory reset then try the tool lol or jus put the phone in the microwave take bets on how long it takes to explode and carry on usin my z5
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] avi312singh:
If you have the DRM fix on your phone installed use xperia backup and restore to backup everything on your phone

Then use this to download the firmware for your region: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

Then use this to flash your downloaded firmware https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

The latest fw through factory reset won't work, unless you mean through TWRP

Then to get the DRM patch back on your phone use the zips which I quoted earlier in the thread which actually worked in the end...

Have you already tried it without Xposed? If not, simply flash xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm64.zip from here(via TWRP), wipe cache & dalvik/art right after and reboot.

First , thank you for your great work! The existence of this program is the reason I rooted my phone without hesitation. Really sad that this program starts to charge. I totally understand it costs a lot to maintain this project, and willing to donate to you; however, as a high school student, 20€ is just too much to me. Moreover, PayPal is inaccessible without a credit card in my country. Would you please rethink about this decision?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Violentleaf:
I agree, €20 is very steep. Especially jumping from the previous free version.

Also, as an American, €20 is almost 30USD. This is way too much. I would happily donate €5 though...

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Thanks for the new release.

I understand the reasons for moving to paid software model. I've donated myself in the past in recognition of the hours you put in to the project. But I think the price is a little high. You mention being slain for support requests, but most of the support on this thread comes from other users, people who've managed to figure out the mirad of drivers and plugging and unplugging required to get it working.

If you put some time into the thread solving peoples problems, then I might think that the price is worth it. But at the moment it looks like you're making the money while other XDA member sort out the mess of eager noobs who've trashed their camera on the prospect of rooting their device.

I hope this doesn't come across as a negative comment, I really appreciate the work you've done and I'm not out to criticise, but just observing the work on the thread.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] vsEnjoi:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
You need to read up before installing Xposed modules, as not many of them work properly on Oreo and once the framework has been modified it's quite difficult to go into reverse if the module is failing.

My advice would be to start again, flash the phone with new firmware, use Xperiafix and don't install Xposed (which will be the reason you fail the safetynet)

Magisk passes safetynet just fine

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] _Matthew:
Completely understand why you've made it licensed, lots of time and money must go into developing and testing the software and if people can spend €400 on a phone they should be able to spend €20 to get more features on it.

What I was wondering though is do you have any plans to give free access to people who have already donated say €20 or more to the project?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Niko of Death:
Agree with others that 20 euros is too much. Beyond that, it seems somewhat risky to me, charging money for drm circumvention. You'll probably be ok, but I wouldn't do it personally. Honestly the only thing that would get me to pay this is widevine L1 support.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
20 euro

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

Is the 20 euro a one-off fee, or everytime a new update is released, and you eventually update xperifix, will users have to pay again?
