SIR you are totally right! your fix is beyond one device and one time nominal fee is actaully nothing :(

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

once device is unlocked (which is allowed by sony so its legal), sony no more consider it SONY DEVICE. you will stop receiving OTA and you will never able to repair software from xperia companion either.

Also on sonymobile forums only i have seen many Sony Reps quoting Emma and FLASHTOOL as substitute of flashing sony roms

having said that

if the website says Account/Registration Fee $20 at the time of entering your email/Name ; would that be legal according to you ?

Done..the read only tick in recovery made the problem.

Can i set again in read only system after xperifix worked?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Yes, you can. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
I would like to add something to the "conversation" here.

Many users who can't/won't pay for the new Xperifix will be hoping for repacked kernels and DRM fix zips from guys like me.

I was happy to help when sToRm// was busy and the tool was free.

Now that he has made a commercial decision to seek financial recompense for real life business hours lost, and personal time invested, I for one will be standing aside, and no longer posting my personal builds.

This bug is already known. I'm working on it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ajp_anton:
Hi. Do you happen to have this firmware still? I was forced to a newer one and would like to downgrade. Xperifix now supports newer ones and that's great, but it seems .75 is still the latest to support Xposed.

I found a German .75, but it does have some small differences, and I'd like to go back to the original Nordic one to make sure everything works as it should in my region.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Evil_Sephiroth:
Thank you, xperifix is great, ad usual mistake done during the process are the problem.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ajp_anton:
xperifirm only shows the latest .145 to me.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ArdW:
quick question, how Xperifix handle TWRP versions? If I understand this properly, you need different TWRP version based on what FW (=security patch) you have. If I don't have TWRP the right version, the TWRP cannot decrypt the encrypted android storage. Also did Xperifix everytime flash its own version of TWRP? Because after Xperifix I usually lost the encryption ability, even when I had it before because I flashed the correct TWRP version. I am just speculating, if this could be the reason why I always get "cannot load twrp" message withing Xperifix. P.S.: I am talking about version 2.2, I did not try 2.3 since I am waiting for the .Net error fix.

Irrelevant to this thread, but is it possible to upgrade to Oreo, then use Newflasher to downgrade to a previous firmware if a method backup TA has been found for Nougat?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] aligatorx:
Great, I did that. Now I bricked my phone. What now? Wait or throw away?

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Still irrelevant? Why on earth can't I get into TWRP?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FartyParty:
IF there's ever a method yes, you can freely flash whatever fw you want whenever you want.

Just flash either again. TWRP didn't work with Oreo apparently.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Macs1209:
[MENTION=2768979]aligatorx[/MENTION] :

Maybe this:

"What's up with Oreo? Can I use this DRMpatch for it?

No! I am currently working on a solution for the latest firmware versions (Oreo) and also for devices other than the XZ Premium. Currently, there is no working custom recovery for Oreo on the XZ Premium. In addition, many changes to system files have been made, which will take a little time. Once I'm done, it's definitely released. Please stop the begging in this thread. Everything comes in its time."

People should follow the basic sequence: read, imagine, read again, understand, and if something still not clear, write.

About downgrade: Current Oreo release has no bootloader update. Possibly Sony will release a new booloader, which can prevent customers to downgrade to Nougat.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mirhl:
Have they ever done something like this?

I mean, I guess like they could, but this would kind of be a first.

And it seems weird, considering that if any, the only bootloader update I know, is the one more open for developers/recovery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] aligatorx:
Hey I did it. I unbricked my phone with EMMA and downgraded at the same time. Now I got TWRP working just fine. The question is now if TWRP will be loadable again if I do an update to Oreo again or will it be lost?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FartyParty:
It seems to work for some but not others. I flashed Oreo and then twrp just fine on my other XZP.

I'm using Nougat on my main since we just got xposed there so.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Did you just flashed the system.sin? Then it's clear to me. You should flash the other files, too. The system might be unstable without them.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] shoey63:
Great work! I just got my xzp (ordered it as soon as I heard about your DRM fix), then unlocked bootloader and applied your fixes immediately [emoji4] I haven't upgraded to O yet, but it seems the new bootloader messes with TWRP. I would therefore suggest deleting the boot folder before upgrading with newflasher.

Lol. Yeah, everytime I think I'm done with Xperia someone comes up with a DRM fix, and I get another one?

No regrets though, XZ premium is a magnificent beast. Reminds me of my Samsung Note 1 days in terms of size. I've been with Sony ever since, after I got "superbricked" on the Note.?

Strange... For me no working TWRP so far. The official TWRP doesn't boot (black screen + boot-loop) on my device. My patched TWRP is booting without problems (with stock kernel and your kernel, too), but the touchscreen doesn't work. I will try to debug this and see what's wrong here.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] avi312singh:
Is no touch that much of an issue in TWRP? Volume keys are fine for most people I think?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Well... I think this will be a little bit easier... Haha...

Works like a charme with my XZP @ Oreo.

My goal is to include fixes for different devices, too. And to make it as simple as possible...

- Connect your device in Fastboot mode

- Choose your device and firmware version

- Hit Crack that b***

- Wait a little bit

= Wohoo... TWRP + ROOT + DRMpatch

Easy, huh? :cowboy:

I will test it and release it asap.

Please be patient.

SuperSU support plz:good::good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
Fantastic work again!

However, I suggest you change a few things in that app:

- Rename the "Crack that b***" button, it implies that you are cracking some sort of protection and overall gives the impression that unlocking the bootloader is not required

- Write warning texts all over its UI

- Add another warning and request when pressing the button before the magic happens
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FartyParty:
You will need to unlock bootloader before you even try this and you can't help stupid no matter how many warnings you put.

There will ALWAYS be people who doesn't read and come ask for help later.

So a disclaimer in the OP is enough really.

Btw, [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] do you think it would be possible for you to fix this bug "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"?

Right now it's not possible to restore a backup. This bug has been there since [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] released twrp for xzp.

If not, that's okay but it would be nice being able to restore a twrp backup.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
Heh, good point there!

Still hesitant to use that on my XZ1c (once it gets released), but the urge is growing.

On the other hand, I don't think there will be a chance that we will ever get a way to root without unlocking at all...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrainAFK:
I really don't care about loosing my drm keys since sooner or later a solution will arise. In this case it did aswell and i dont regret unlocking my bl day when i got it pretty much after launch of the XZP.

TWRP black-screen workaround

I also keep getting the same black screen when trying to boot into TWRP recovery when holding Volume Down & Power key combo with:

47.1.A.3.254 (Oreo/8.0)

AndroPlus Kernel (v07) (which I'm assuming has the patch [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] mentioned)

latest official TWRP

*BUT* TWRP seems to boot automatically after using the device's built in Factory Data Reset (ie: the very next boot) - no key combo required! Once TWRP booted I used ADB to push Magisk v14.3 and installed it to get root.

Getting back into TWRP still doesn't seem possible with Volume Down & Power key combo, but the "Reboot Recovery" button in the Official TWRP app works fine - no touch issues. I'm still missing a DRM fix - tried applying sToRm//'s patch but it's obviously not the right version for Oreo!

Will be patient and wait for XperiFIX :)

That's because you unlocked the bootloader and I just meant that you're not able to relock it, thats why the camera still didn't work when you tried to relock it, because it doesn't work.

I can't unlock my bootloader any help

Trying by adb and by flashtool but no luck to unlock

Any help pls?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Flashtool doesn't work with XZ Premium as far as I know. But you can unlock the bootloader with fastboot. Unlock code and instructions are here https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

If the command is not allowed, you have to enable "OEM unlock" option in the developer settings in your device.

To get developer options, go to Settings -> System -> About -> click multiple times on "build number". After that go back to Settings -> System. There are the developer options now.

You should not power off to replug. It must be while TWRP is running. And then wait a little bit.
