You're a legend! Though I was able to flash this and get root working no probs, installing Xposed Framework went into a bootloop. I backed everthing out to .75 and it worked again. Just a caution in case it's not uniquely my issue - anyone who uses Xposed, be sure you have backups ready to go backwards to .75 if need be.
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Farsiris:
Xposed Framework is not supported in Oreo Yet , You should ve used Magisk and install the Framework inside Magisk app .

How do you load stock boot to remove root, for 8232? I flashed downloaded ftf from flashtool, but it skips the bootloader, indicating its the one attached here.
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mozz:
to unroot just flash stock boot.img using cmd

or you can flash the entire FTF using flashtool
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] superfire71:
Thats what i've been doing, but it keeps skipping the bootloader, tried extracting it, and flashing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with a clean boot.img. It keeps indicating, "no loader found or set manually". so it eternally boots with a rooted bootloader, no matter what, no matter what I download from xperifirm. Tried new flasher, wont find my device....
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Farsiris:
Why you want to Unroot though?
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] superfire71:
Yes, I can't seem to work out getting netflix working, etc. I know there are tricks but its a hassle. I want to revert to stock, but i keep getting that warning
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Farsiris:
Have you tried to clean Flash the FTF in Flashtool? Check all in Wipe Section?

Use the Kernel here, the kernel is not Pre rooted, jist dont flash magisk or superSu. But you need. . 24 FTF first https://xdaforums.com/xzs/how-to/tutorial-step-step-guide-to-gain

[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mozz:
[MENTION=2209912]superfire[/MENTION]

your words are confusing. :(

are you talking about rooted firmware (AKA rooted kernal / rooted OS)

or a rooted bootloader AKA unlocked bootloader

if you are talking about unlocked bootloader. all you need to do is go to flashtool and press BLU button and press relock

then flash a FTF or use the official sony pc companion to get the firmware back.

done.

now your bootloader is relocked and all google pay functions will work

but you wont get the DRM functions back... :( and its sad to see a xperia device

without DRM functions.

flashing clean boot.img or flasshing ftf will not relock bootloader it only unroot the operating system

you need manually relock bootloader using BLU function.

hope this will help you
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] codysydney2:
Thanks! It worked perfectly installing via the Xposed installer under firmware .75, it's just .99 that bootloops. Xposed for Oreo is in a kind of beta, but did work just fine under .75, so I'm just sticking with that and will try again in 6 months or something :)
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:

Flash xposed framework by rovo89 the beta3, works flawless ;)
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] codysydney2:
That's the one! I've been through the entire process twice each on .75 and .99, both times worked perfectly on .75, both times went into a bootloop on .99. I wonder what you're doing differently! Dual Sim G8232?

I'm not too concerned, I don't think .99 does anything special that I want or need, just fun making things work :)

can we use magisk 16. 2 beta with this kernel [MENTION=6454845]3mozz[/MENTION]?
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] codysydney2:
I only want one mod - GravityBox -for only one thing - getting rid of the annoying volume limiting message that pops up every 20h of playtime thanks to the EuroNanny. It's distracting when driving, to have to mess with the phone because it's suddenly reduced volume. It's not smart enough to know that if it's playing via bluetooth, there's probably an external volume control, and that the phone should be set to 100%. nothing worse than nannyware that's not smart enough to do its job properly, and gravitybox can turn that right off. that's the only mod I use and the only option I choose, but I sure miss it when it's gone.

[MENTION=6454845]3mozz[/MENTION] i need some suggestion ,

i'm flash 2 month ago ,when im first time connect pc in recovery mode ,it show me full storage 50 gb.(its done fully ok )

but i'm recently flash my device and connect pc in recovery mode first time , it show me only 20 gb of storage ,so what is a problem with this ? and i'm format data then show me full of 50gb..

i dont understand what is problem with that??
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] khanhesham:
clean install your firmware, flash boot and recovery just after flashing the fw, format data (type yes), wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe internal storage and check your storage space again..
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] yadnesh7029:
Internal storage reduced to 20gb

After flashing fw .149 when I flashed boot and recovery using fastboot but when i Go to recovery It shown 20 gb internal storage but FIrst I ignored that and done all procedure but after full bootup my internal storage is available 14 gb out of 20 gb

please fix that and also drm key fix not working as Image enhancement has no change effect
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mozz:
i do not understand what you mean. but from what i understand you are facing problems with internal storage and drm fix,

make sure you flashed the one i attached here and you also need to flash drm fix zip to fix drm functions working. kernal alone wont bring back drm functions

anyway i will take a look on it on next update.
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] yadnesh297:
Its because of dual_boot_149.zip

dear brother, I tried to flash just firmware and drm fix but nothing happen and when i flash dual_boot_149.zip then internal storage reduced to 20 gb please fix that

by the way .157 modified img work fine with drm fix

will you just try to remove unlock warning & Turn off SONY RIC with boot.img

Thanks in advance.....:fingers-crossed:

[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
yes twrp has strange limitation!

after flashing the STOCKROM, BOOT IN TO SYSTEM till welcome screen,

poweroff

flash modded kernel,

flash twrp

bootinto twrp & flash drmfix and magisk etc

now reboot!

and you will see you have 64gb!

twrp consider xperia X / xz / xzs as 32gb devices ONLY ! so the free fabric coms down to 20 gb after locking 12gb for system....

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

before booting in to twrp (after the fresh flashing of STOCKROM) ~ boot in to system till welcom screen, then poweroff and then boot in to twrp!

it will be fine!

if it fails again. try a different flashtool version

or manually download device files from git hub and put it inside the device folder in flashtool directory

41.3.A.2.184 stuck at Sony boot screen

I've followed the instruction:

Flash recovery.img

Flash boot.img

wipe data

install DRMfix.zip

install magisk.zip

when I try to reboot, it was stuck at the Sony boot screen for more than half an hour, I had to turn the phone off via recovery

The post says it should work upto 41.3.A.2.192 so I gave it a try...

Can someone give me a hand please??!!

Thanks!!!!

Edit: OK, I was able to flash the original HK ROM via Flashtool and it's booting up now.

However I still want to root the device, should I just download a ROM with 41.3.A.2.192 (ie Germany, Taiwan etc) and follow the process again. Would I have a better chance??

I guess I'm gonna give it a try anyway, knowing that I can always flash back to this working ROM :)

Edit: Problem solved!! :)

Flashed to TW ROM, followed the steps again and my phone is rooted and working fine!

Thanks so much for the info :)
[Sony Xperia XZs Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mozz:
its because you failed to flash the boot. img provided here... without flashing the boot i provided here.. magisk wont work

you need to download the boot extract it put in your pc and flash it using cammand prompt to the device then only you can flash magisk correctly.. hope you know how to flash using cammand prompt i have given the needed cammands in the OP

those two files are not neccessary if you are not facing any issues while flashing using cmd or flash tool

the minimal adb is just a adb installer and the other one is a flashtool fsc script for xperia xzs for those flashtool having issues.

if you are facing any issues with flashtool you need to replace user/.flashtool/devices/ with the one i provided

im not a fan of xposed now.

i liked xposed at the time of jellybeans for its awesome themeing and other app modding abilities.

and i didnt tried in this update. and i dont know if it still work like before
