It's a one-off fee. Like I said, there are a lot of ideas for future updates. So I think the 20 euro is not that much, too.

I will write down some lines about this in the blog. So that users can realize why exactly I did this.

Storm, here in my country no paypal like i said before.

I have an internet card used like alipay or google play.

Can you provide another payemant that i can pay by my visa.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
A post in the blog (or here) describing the ideas would be good.

Hi!

Is there still a chance that a Linux/Mac/OS independent version will arrive ?

I'm ready to pay for it. But I won't pay a windows version just for grabbing files from it and applying them manually.

BTW I already donated $20 (paid January 11th) in a hope that a non-windows version will be developed.

Just now I feel very disappointed :(.

With regards,

Pavel
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mirhl:
I have no problems with the paid version (assuming this doesn't become a reason to avoid open-sourcing, once "time comes")

But 20€ is just too much for just improving camera imo. If instead this also fixed widewine L1 (and x-reality?) it would be hands down a bargain.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
Sir do I need to pay 20€ everytime when there is new version of xperifirm is out ?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

sir I completely understand about charging the xperifirm

HOWEVER SIR, kindly add support for new builds for already purchased v2.4 free. and current customers buy xperifix 2.5 because of xperfix newly added features, not because v2.5 will support new sony builds...

xzp will go in to many updates by sony, paying 20€ for each security patch / build by sony, seems unfair...

or consider giving users purchasing options

20€ one-off

xx€ yearly

xx€ 3 years

If i buy 3year subscription of xperfix, i am covered for next 3 years of xperfix based on updates from sony on supported devices. (irrespective even you have to make few minor changes in 2.5 or 2.6 or beyon just to support updated builds.

kindly consider / kindly reply :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] oneheart:
Could you consider Alipay payment, for China users?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
You don't have to pay for every update. The personal license is valid for future versions of XperiFIX.

If there is an update, you can use the download link provided by mail again. :)

That's why I think the 20 Euro are absolutely okay.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
I'm working on a solution. :)

Preview of the new device settings feature:

You can change the sources and other options for each device (TWRP, Magisk, Fix, Hex-Patch, ...).

And now you can add other firmware versions and devices, too. :)

Just wondering if i pay 20 for the tool will i get the latest fw on my xz1c and all the fixes etc ??
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
It won't install the latest firmware, you have to do that. The only thing it fixes is the DRM.

Xposed is completly broken in the March/April updates.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] md1982:
Ok so the tool will work on the latest fw then? And if xposed broken i might give ticklemyandroid a go that should work in theory iv used that on a few phones

Hi, thanks for yor work first.

I have installed the firmware 145, and via TWRP the Zip's files: G8141-145drmfix-kernel.zip and xperifix.zip, but the green photo is still present.

Regards!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Violentleaf:
I love this software, and it's great that you want to continue to improve on it and add features!

But "ideas" are not content. Ideas do not add value to the current product. Maybe when you implement those ideas it may be worth 20 euro but for now...I don't think so.

And as another user said, bypassing DRM is one thing but making a profit off of it is so much more likely to cause Sony to notice you and hit you with a "cease and desist" or worse, a lawsuit.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] avi312singh:
Download and extract the drmzip in your phone using a file manager.... Go to twrp then flash shoeys kernel then the zip file that you extracted... I think it's important you extract the folder in your phone as the xperifix.zip uses files within the lib folder during flash in twrp
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] NAerop:
so xposed will never work with the latest firmware or will it be fixed?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] hbenavid:
Thanks, only one thing more, the phone should be rooted before?

Works like on Nougat before ;)

Root and DRMpatch works now on Oreo. Will create a package for this later. Just want to test it a bit before I release it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
sToRm, you are AMAZING! Great to see you outsmarted Sony, hahahahahah! Amazing news to hear.

I just have one question, most of us are already on Nougat with root. How do we upgrade to Oreo? Unless someone kindly makes a rom that we can flash including root, DRM keys hack, etc...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Easy... I dit it, too. Downloaded and flashed the ne firmware with newflasher (excluded userdata.sin). Flashed my dirty TWRP, then flashed my new patched kernel, Magisk and new DRMpatch for Oreo.

But there is actually no 100% working TWRP... I have to check it again. Then I will release the new files and update the first post.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
Excellent news for us, simply we only need to follow the same instructions as yourself and then we have the very latest Oreo fully rooted with recovery and all Sony Enhancements included, best news ever!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] leeston2379:
At the moment, no.

We'd need to obtain root before unlocking the bootloader for that. And that is a different thing altogether.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Superfish86:
So after I installed this, there's a few things on the OS level that just seem blurry. A lot of my apps did, but I fixed that with an Icon pack. However, things like the nfc notification on the status bar is fuzzy, but other things will be fine (like the wifi and cell service logos etc). Another thing I noticed is in the wifi settings, the signal strength indicator is fuzzy. It looks like a few of the images from wherever the os pulls them from are just a lower than normal resolution. Does anybody else have this issue, or am I alone?

Nothing really xposed lets u mod using modules ie extra files etc tma pulls files from ur phone decompiles them adds ur mods recompiles them and pushes it back to ur phone it mods ur own phones files so should work every time because ur using ur own system files very clever tool u can also deodex reodex all sorts u should visit the page

I had a bricked G8141 XZP but made a flash tool file" fw 47.1.A.12.145.ftf & got the phone working again thanks to Androxydes tool...

20 Euro to me is worth every penny for XperiFix If it gets Root, TWRP & a DRM fix on latest firmwares,

Ile see if all works well once I receive my licence key.

Think, allot of devoted time is going into this tool to help us all....

yeah, i have to watch in depth, probably bricked now, no access to recovery and no boot right now

There are some really ungrateful people here.. storm has spent a lot of his own time on making this hack and program... if you can afford to pay for this phone then surely you can afford to pay for this program... if you don't want to pay for his program then don't unlock your phone.. yes I have paid for his program which is $32 Australian dollars..

no problem to pay. it is a program for the future not for now. next xperia like xz2 is the next project i think. for who want to upgrade want to pay.??

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

A stupid question. Is there any way to remove the "Your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted" alert every time i reboot the phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
Time travel back to before you unlocked the bootloader buddy, thats the only way :p. Your stuck with it im afraid.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
IF SOME DAY we manage to extract the TA.img* , then you can relock bootloader after rooting device then YES

* i saw this post on xda where a script is trying to extract partial TA block but was missing few key areas (in flashmode) , if that user succeed then xperifix will go in to NEW level!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Evil_Sephiroth:
Yeah yeah, it's only a stupid thing...i asked just because i remember on older phone there is a way to cover that alert, nothing big

My rooted Device requests me to download last Sony update aka 47.1.A.12.119

Can i download and install it on My Device without problems?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
dude xperifix support 47.1.A.12.119 & also latest build 47.1.A.12.145

upgrade to 47.1.A.12.145 and run xperfix

plz buy from https://www.xperifix.com/download/xperifix-latest/
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
No. You cant install it. Go to system/priv-app and delete update center folder.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Iverson9:
Cant understand Clearly.

One mate tells i ve to download hyperfix (still have it anyway)

Other mate tells me i Cant n i ve to delete update path.

Please guy what do i ve to do? :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] whoosename:
Both answers are correct.

You can upgrade (via flashtool or newflasher) to v47.1.A.12.119 or the newest v47.1.A.12.145 and then run xperifix (I guess that's what you mean when you say "hyperfix")

You have to do this (or disable Softwareupdate (com.sonyericsson.updatecenter) to get rid of the update notice when a new update is available.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Was it bricked after XperiFIX? If so, was it on a stock firmware with stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Iverson9:
Thanks, now it s almost Clear.

Last question.

Could i install the update the softwareupdate downloaded and then run the latest xperfix?

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

if you get the xz2 dont unlock your bootloader because you lose to much things that you will need after
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
From another thread, where I answered:

No, you do not have to pay. You can also sit down and write your own fix or program suitable software. I find it sad that today everyone wants to benefit from the time and work of other people, but is unwilling to pay for it. Everything has to be free. And then there are still demands made, what the developer should do.

There are several reasons why I offer XperiFIX for a fee. And I think it's pretty outrageous to complain about that. I've spent almost a year providing the community with a solution that was then free. If I had not invested hundreds of hours to scour the firmware and kernel and all security features, there probably would not be any fix for the current devices. And that to this day.

I have invested well over 800 hours in total. I have costs for licenses, webhosting, etc. I receive emails with questions almost daily, should help countless users, even be written on Facebook and partly called. With each firmware update, I have invested time and also released an update. And not only for the XZ Premium that I own, but also for the other devices. In principle, I could have kept everything for myself at that time, without publishing any fix.

I was then advised by another user, if successful (for a fix), issue a fee-based fix and offer nothing for free. Because most people are just ungrateful. And I have to give the user right now. XperiFIX was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. Only about 80 donations were received. Most of them with 2-5 euros, of which a large part is already deducted from PP fees.

However, it is expected that I will continue to invest my time. So I am so free and ask for a fee. And I think that 20 euros are absolutely justified. As taxes are due, about 15 euros are left. I carry all the costs from this and still have a small tip left. The updates can be downloaded for licensed users for free. So where is the problem please?

And ... Sure, there will be sources where users get a fix for free. But only so long, until Sony changes something in the security features. And at the latest then, these people come across a problem. I will then repeat my work and try to create a fix, but I will not offer it publicly anymore.

Cheers...

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexkatayama:
the green pictures is a result of losing your DRM keys, and that means losing access to sony's camera software. so if you update to the latest firmware and apply the drmfix (which xperifix does for you), then it will resolve the issue. i'm on .145 with drmfix and my phone works without issue.

No, the update will fail cause of the unlocked bootloader and may cause problem afterwards. If you want to upgrade you have to use Androxyde's flashtool:https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 or munjeni' Newflasher:https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Niko of Death:
Did you look into whether or not this is legally sound? Whenever things like this are sold by the developer thats my chief concern, Sony is strict enough about copyright/security when devs provide things for free (see: George Hotz, obviously its not the exact same since SCE =/= Sony Mobile). If you're confident that you'll be ok then I can't complain.

Regardless, good luck with future development!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
No problem with that, since XperiFIX works with devconfigs that have flexible inputs. It works like a tool for automated commands and automated patching with user defined strings. So if you want, it's like an HEX editor and adb tool. Also it doesn't contain any file from Sony. I don't think this is kind of illegal. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Evil_Sephiroth:
Yeah, stock.

Sony logo always no, no responce from anything, cancellare only l'ing Press Power+vol for 3 vibration to turn off the phone.

Maybe i've done something wrong.

After xperifix i suoi have Green photo. Flashed from recovery the additional file and phone stopper working. Btw flashtool silver everything.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
If you are on XperiFIX v2.3, there is no additional file to flash. I don't know what exactly you did, but seems it was wrong. XperiFIX does the whole process automatically.

Please boot to the recovery (TWRP) and go to "Mount". If checked, uncheck the "system partition read-only" option. After that, shutdown the device. Run XperiFIX, hold the Volume+ key and plug in the usb cable. Then start the XperiFIX routine again. It should work.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobfigurz:
I do not understand why people complain about paying for XperiFix, you have 2 choices, take it or leave it. No one told you to unlock your bootloader, no one told you to root your phone, you made a choice to do so and sToRm// has gone out of his way to find a solution when everyone was begging and whining about the lack of root.

When you modify your car, do you pay for the modifications or get them free? When you modify your home by way of having a redesigned kitchen fitted or alteration to the layout of your home, is the work provided for free? NO, YOU PAY FOR IT!!

No one told you cheapskates to mod your phones, be grateful it was free for as long as it was.
