IF I may add to your comment. It took a few months... for [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] to actually find a cure for this problem. All I wanted to do was to change firmware to another region and I ACCIDENTALLY unlocked my boot loader (I didn't have to apparently). and without Storm, my camera was shooting green pictures (DRM issue which also googled and found out after I have done the unlock). So to be fair, he is asking for donation and NOT asking to PAY FOR IT before you can use it. I feel it is fair for him to keep the update as it is and continue to do his work supporting XZ Premium users. While I understand the benefit of open source and it would be easier for some developers to do their own thing... unfortunately I am not as advanced as many of you and it would not benefit many of us "average users" . And furthermore, there will be multiple if not hundreds of thousands of FIXES on this forum and it will make life very difficult for newcomers to decide which would actually work the best!

Now that is just my opinion! And if you don't like the fix, dont use it as no one is forcing you to donate ... he has done all of this work with his friends part time.. and he is not making money from this. If you really want to blame, rather e-mail Sony and complain to them instead...

It is definitely working on the .75 version. So I suggest you go and trace your steps back and see what you have done wrong.

Where do i find the zx1 compact drivers please iv got the adb interface one and thats it
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
The solution is in this thread

Bus as it's too hard for you to read all those difficult pages, here's a clue
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] raven213:
How I got it to work was I made sure adb drivers were installed and I also unplugged and reconnected the cable once I was in recovery. Not sure if that will work for you but you can give it a try?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
I think you’re missing several points and focusing on your problem of not having a windows machine.

Sony are allowed to protect their proprietary software any way they want. They are not alone in making it difficult for the amateur developer and they’re never going to go into reverse and go all ‘open source’ just because you start a petition, but please feel free if that’s what you want to do.

sToRm// works on phones in his free time, it’s not his job and a couple of contributions isn’t a wage or anything that could support him. He has a job, a real life, that isn’t based on serving this thread. By sacrificing his spare time and sharing his passion with us he has given us the chance to use our phones outside of locked. He doesn’t have to share his hobby and asking for contributions is recognition for work done. Asking people to acknowledge that he works hard on this is the right thing to do, otherwise people become complacent and take his work for granted, make demands of him, expecting it as a service.

Personally I’ve donated $20 in recognition of the work done and that was before he got a fix that worked on my XZ1 compact.

If you want a something that runs from your phone or your mac, why not make a donation and ask nicely, instead of demanding it as a right?

just received the xz premium, just when I think about to unlock bootloader it says ''maintenance''.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
It's not a problem. " Maintenance" means your data is being wiped - an automatic, and intended consequence of unlocking your bootloader.

The webpage for unlocking bootloaders on XPeria devices is in maintenance mode at the moment.

Ah, ok. They are probably adding more devices.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
You're correct, they added the XZ1 and XZ1c for example.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley.raver:
refer to my post about 3 or 4 up - double check the xperifix log files in the install directory of your PC - double & triple check your ADB drivers are installed correctly and connecting in recovery mode.

sigh. i flashed wrong version of xperifix but even with flashing 47 the system and xperifix think i have 45 (nougat) installed. neither drm fix or root works, automatically deleted after reboot. i can still use the phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverGamer_YT:
Ok , Can you do something to fix it :) . Let's do it

Step 1: flash twrp in you phone

Step 2: flash old drmpatch.zip

Step 3: flash need drmfix.zip

Step 4: flash the kernel version from androplus witch works with you software

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
Yes, all of those features will be restored using this fix. Hence, DRM "fix".

My XZ1 compact can't update to 47.1.A.12.119 (whether OTA/wifi or USB with Companion).

With Companion the message after the reboot is: kResultCode_DeltaUpdateResultDidReturnFail
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverGamer_YT:
did you get the firmware from xperifirm , pls send me some screenshot to see what happenend
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] zarite:
Yes, I used XperiFIX on stock 47.1.A.12.75. it works properly .

I run the upgrade: it reboots, then Android "verify the upgrade". It reboots again but don't upgrade. It starts 47.1.A.12.75 and the message "It' can't upgrade new software. Try again" (see aattachment in italian)

thanx.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverGamer_YT:
there is no problem if it is on italian im from spain, so i can understand you. Did you have your device with unlocked bootloader

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverGamer_YT:
Its normal because he doesn't had worked in that version yet so you need to make all manually

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
You most likely don't have adb and fastboot set up correctly. Go back to pure stock with newflasher or Flashtool. Then before running Xperifix, open a terminal and type adb devices, and in fastboot mode type fastboot devices. Make sure your device is recognised in both modes before trying again. If not - Google will help.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] nevenx:
can you send me some newer video, bcs i cannot manage on new sony dev unlocking site, I unlocked my Z easily back in 2013, now this is a problem for me and I have 2 gigs of free space and have no time for anything, gotta install new windows.

How to fix XZp 47.1.A.12.119 green photo?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ArdW:
At first thank you all for developing these tools for us. Now I have a problem. I have XZ1C, I successfully ran Xperifix (everything was as it should be). Then I flashed 47.1.A.12.119 firmware via Flasthtool and I lost DRM. Did I mess up? Should I did that differently? And what now? Should I downgrade back to 47.1.A.12.37 I had and did everything again, or what? Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley.raver:
you need to go back to .75 as per the instructions in first post.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

the process hasnt changed with unlocking bootloader - but for xperifix to work properly you do need the adb drivers installed correctly - just google it - plenty of videos or search xda as there is plenty of topics answering this.

i had the same issue of adb not working in recovery - but i manually changed the driver from google driver to googles adb bootloader driver and xperifix worked like a charm.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] nevenx:
well...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Hakkinen3K:
This is a xz premium forum.

Search for a kernel in his website, androplus.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FelixNZ:
This is a thread for xperifix, which covers xz premium, xz1, & xz1c as per the first post.

Are you suggesting users of each individual device has an xperifix thread in their own subforum instead of keeping the knowledgebase together in one place?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley.raver:
your drivers are not installed correctly/or wrong drivers - again google will give you all your answers. - it could be that new sony drivers installed newer files, to which your adb drivers are more then likely out of date - uninstall all adb/sony drivers and re-install

your sony devices at the bottom with the Yellow triangles will more then likely be your adb, with your android devices up the top being your flash/fastboot drivers.

windows isnt the smartest when it comes to things like that
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] nevenx:

Edit: Device not supported :( I presume it's due to having the wrong firmware?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] feek.404:
Well, do you have one of these?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] G4goodservice:
I gathered that was the issue, flashed to one of those versions and worked perfectly. Flashing back to an unbranded firmware now, hoping it doesn't revert back to a green camera. (I'm a noob, so trial and error for me)

edit: yeah... no, going to have to stick to one of the supported firmwares for now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Kim Lu:
All you have to do is:

Flash one of the old, supported versions→boot to system (complete all the first run process)→flash latest firmware, DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM→run xperifix,it should recognize your device running on the supposed firmware (but actually it is running on the latest firmware)→let xperifix do it's job→boot to system→check if it works
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] G4goodservice:
Thanks for that, I seem to have done something completely wrong. After flashing to a compatible version and running the fix everything worked fine. Since flashing to a later version and trying the fix again, my camera stays green even though Xperifix says it completed successfully. I've rolled back to the version that worked originally and still no go... weird
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sam_2776:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] nataelj:
Managed to get this to work using the most recent (145, April patch) software and I'm set to go! With one exception; my pictures are fine and I have root, but I fail SafetyNet checks in the Magisk app, which means Google Pay also doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if this also has something to do with my SELinux mode being set to Permissive (which I read somewhere breaks this). Others in this chain mention having passed those checks though; should I be passing? Is that possible with Permissive SELinux still? I'm assuming XperiaFIX set it that way; if I need to change it back how do I do so? Or what else should I change to get that working?

For anyone else looking to update to the new security path with XperiaFIX, the process to do so is discussed in more detail at https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-co...pril-patch-t3777185/post76250679#post76250679.

Edit: Nevermind; I went through the Magisk documentation and did a bunch of checks and now am passing the check! I think it was USB debugging being on that was messing me up.
