Unlocked Bootloader , impossible to flash stock rom , just aosp

Hello, I have unlocked my bootloader, to allow to root my XZ1, until the whole passed has marvel, up to the flashage of magisk in the recovery since reboot looped I tried the discount(delivery) of factory via sony compagnion but in vain seen that the bootloader is at present unlocked Then I opted for flashtool, to flash a firmware 8.1.0, and even 9.0 Pie via Xpfirm but nothing does not take place it remains blocked(surrounded) on the sony logo white with the blow I am aosp 8.1.0 which pleases me not at all.. Would Have you a solution to reflash a firmware oreo so that I can root my device but with a version stock? Thank you :) (excuse me , i'm french )

bonjour , j'ai déverouillé mon bootloader ,afin de permettre de rooter mon XZ1 , jusqu'a la tout s'est passé a merveille , jusqu'au flashage de magisk dans le recovery ...depuis reboot en boucle ..j'ai essayé la remise d'usine via sony compagnion ..mais en vain vu que le bootloader est actuellement deverouillé . Donc j'ai opté pour flashtool , en flashant un firmware 8.1.0 , et meme le 9.0 Pie via Xpfirm mais rien ne se passe ...il reste bloqué sur le logo sony blanc .... du coup je suis en aosp 8.1.0 qui ne me plait pas du tout ..Auriez vous une solution pour reflasher un firmware oreo ..de sorte que je puisse rooter mon appareil ..mais avec une version stock ? Merci d'avance

The good news with Sony Pie /TA drm partition dropped, is that there is no need to reformat /data when flashing latest phhusson Treble GSi ("incomplete") Pie: just regular wipe /data /cache /dalvik /system + flash gsi.img -> /system + Magisk 17.3 +boot & adb shell + su + setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness 255

Same for Sony Pie back : twrp regular restore.

Conversely, all "complete" roms use encrypted /data partition with different "credentials": so switching from one to another "complete" rom needs re-format /data:

- flash twrp in recovery

- backup your data(s) to PC or external microSD

- twrp format /data ("yes")

- reflash Sony oem (downloaded with xperifirm & fotakernel__.sin removed) with

newflasher

(+!

green light

)

- backup /boot only, before any Magisk-"ified" (the internal ~/sdcard/twrp will also be recreated)

- reboot rom once, before any Magisk-"ified" , to re-init /data encryption

After these steps, if you have a backup of Sony you can restore and boot it.

EDIT no need to format /data when upgrading Sony Oreo to Pie (with or without newflasher) : https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3727602/post78146715#post78146715
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] dcrin3:
I have a question.

I'm on the latest 47.2.A.33-Pie but it's after the upgrade from .20 Oreo. The thing is this though, with the drmfix from .20 which rolled over to .33, it might cause an issue with my situation down the road.

When I do a restore via twrp, the system has to be just right for the restore to take.

1.) I have to make sure I have .20 stock with drmfix/etc all applied before attempting to restore, otherwise it breaks.

Now since I've upgraded to .33-pie, I am even deeper in the rabbit hole. I like to tinker around with my phone, aosp and other fun things.

Sooner or later I am going to have to restore my phone to a non-broken state. This is where I think the problem may arise or rather too much work may be needed.

1.) Will have to flash .20-oreo stock, drmfix/magisk, restore oreo, then flash pie(without userdata.sin), then restore pie from twrp to get back to a functional device?

or can I just flash Pie-stock without userdata, hope it boots(which is likely to go wrong), then hope again that twrp restore takes because the system doesn't look similar(lack of drmfix)??? Let's not also forget that without drmfix, on stock, it would be a 17MP camera.

Would it be too much of an ask if I wanted a drmfix/magisk that was pie compatible? [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

what do you think [MENTION=7489364]oF2pks[/MENTION] ?? I know you experiment a lot on your end.

anyone?

Thanks.

Now, not being a camera person, and currently on stock pie, no rooting ect. But the camera is limited somewhat as 16:9 is limited to 17MP. Just wondering..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cprasitnok:
change to 4:3
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
I saw that, but curious why it's not the full 19MP on the 16:9..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cprasitnok:
Yes 16: 9 It is limited to 17MP.

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] verbumomo:
Make a circle, put a 16:9 and a 4:3 rectangle in it, witch one is bigger? It's for all cameras no matter witch brand. It is better to crop from a 4:3 to 16:9 than from 16:9 to 4:3
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Element-Z:
I wanted to add, that the newest Update .45 is working great. Only things needed are a dirty Flash (without userdata.sin), actual TWRP with Android 9 support and Magisk.zip. :good:

Correct me if i am wrong, i had some troubles getting the right boot img (and maybe the right twrp, i now have installed 3.2.3 twrp. Now it seems to work, but i am not sure if i set it up all correctly.

I did a clean 47.2.A.6.30 flash to my G8342, enabled developer mode, flashed 3.2.3 twrp, flashed G8342 feb 2019 , and flashed magisk 18.1

(eventually i believe the boot img for G8342 from the link that I colored GREEN in the quote, just to show which url i mean); I do not need to flash a drm drm patch or magisk permissive fix anymore?

I accidentally downloaded probably the january version at first I think and did not get past sony logo, and tried to get twrp working with internal memory not encrypted. (I think i got it right now by wiping internal mem and data after first flashing.)

Put zip on external SD-Card (not encrypted)

Start ADB Sideload in TWRP and sideload from computer

Do I still need to use the DRM patch since there's only the kernel now?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DaveW1972:
Google Pay broken

I've followed all the instructions for this to the letter (using Firmware 47.2.A.8.24) and have working TWRP, Magisk etc.

SafetyNet checks in Magisk pass, as does the root checker and SafetyNet checker apps I download from Play Store. Most of my "difficult" apps (that check for rooting) seem to work but...

My problem is with Google Pay.

It launches ok but won't allow my phone to be used contactless. When I select or add a card and enter the CVV number it returns the following message

"Couldn't finish setup to pay in shops. This phone cant be used to pay in shops. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way"

Any ideas anyone? I've reset it using EMMA and uploaded stock firmware via XperiFirm (wiping everything) and get the same issue. Literally everything else seems to work (except the Santander Banking App but that's NEVER liked my phone!) and I had Google Pay working in Oreo unlocked (using Xperifix DRM fix).
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] janjan:
It is due to Google Play Service. Google patched the Google Pay too. Wait for new magisk
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xFirefly93:
Use latest Magisk 18.2 Canary. It passes SafetyNet and CTS everytime.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DaveW1972:
SafetyNet and Root checking both pass anyway.

I checked out the Googlypay Magisk thread and identified there's a Google Play services issue. I downgraded Google Play services (uninstalled updates) back to 14.5.74 and removed admin rights and background data for it (to try to stop auto updates) and now have working GPay AND my Santander app works!

The workaround will only last until Google play services updates itself but it's good for now.

Use Xperia check to see if the firmware is available for your region ( https://xpericheck.com)

Then use xperiafirm ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...firm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/amp/ ) to get the firmware or you can use flashtool..
