Hi there Free25,

I checked your tickets a few minutes ago. There are actually two problems. One problem is/was your driver. The shared logs show that the device wasn't recognized by your computer. The other problem is actually with the XZ1/XZ1c devices on current firmware versions. There were a few reports, that TWRP doesn't work well on this devices with current firmware versions. I have a dirty solution here, but that's not a really good solution for all users of XperiFIX. So I invested the last nights and tons of energy drinks, to get the v3.0 ready. With the new version, you will be able to select your own recovery image (local or remote file). The device settings will also be updated remotely, so everytime you start XperiFIX, the settings will be up to date.

I will release the new version asap (maybe today) and will also share detailed informations about drivers and other things in the knowledge base: https://www.xperifix.com/knowledge-base/

The last days a lot of tickets were opened because of the firmware updates. For all users: Please be a little bit patient. As soon as v3 is out, 99% of the problems are fixed with an update. So it's better to invest time in the update and get it ready in "Mopsgeschwindigkeit" (hahaha, german users know what that means).

Your ticket will be answered now. Cheers bro!

sToRm//, that's great to hear. Thanks for getting back to me on this and for all the hard work. Looking forward to running v3 and sorting these issues out. Cheers :good:

[MENTION=4883329]Free25[/MENTION] - Did you manage to get camera working using Xperifix 3.0? I haven't unlocked bootloader yet, but I'm considering doing so, so I am following discussions such as this closely.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Free25:
Not yet. Still having some issues with either the drivers or the TWRP image.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
Exactly the same mobile, exactly the same problem.

I had adb on the computer, it was working fine, but XperFIX version 3.0 refused to proceed beyond installing TWRP on my phone.

I submitted a ticket to the developer and I received the same vague and general answer, that "it is a driver issue".

I have been using computers before most of you were born. I thought that we got over that stage...

I think that a program which is not tried and tested at the developer's own cost should not be offered for sale, and when it is, with comprehensive instructions. Thank you for a useless 550 Euro phone!

I can't download XperiFIX 3.0

Can anyone send me the installation?

Please
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
Strange...

Something very strange is happening.

As you can see, after much effort, I managed to install the Sony driver!!! After a fresh reboot and a verification of this, I start XperiFIX to proceed, since the "driver" problem has been resolved. And, lo and behold, XperiFIX [causes an exception because... well, because it did not like something. OK, maybe I overlooked something. I reboot, I check everything again, device manager and all.... start XperiFIX, and it causes the exception again.

SO, is there anyone who has managed to nstall the SONY drivers, and has an XZ1 Compact, and also has Windows 7, and managed to make XperiFIX to work? I would like to hear from him/her. Even better, I would like to send him/her my useless phone and prove what they claim!!!

(I wanted to post a capture of my screen with the Sony drivers, but it is too much trouble> Ask me, and I will gladly send it to you. I have no reason to lie... I am not a programmer.)

ADB Driver TWRP issue

I'm also having this problem. I have the correct driver installed:

Sony sa0117 ADB Interface Driver

It loads and runs in fastboot - and with full system booted.

But it fails in TWRP with the error:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

On suggestion for the xperifix app: Avoid implementing "system modal" dialogs in this type of application (where driver maintenance / troubleshooting may be necessary) . System modal dialogs will hide various other dialogs in windows (yeah this is really a windows annoyance) - and - there is no way other dialogs can be viewed when an xperifix dialog is covering them :(

Please let me know how I can help - I'm a professional software engineer with 30+ years of experience including unix, windows, mac, iOS, drivers, kernel... But - I'm just getting started with android - so please be patient if I sound like a noob while I spin up..

I have a ticket open on Xperifix, so contact me directly if needed.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
I am of the opinion that XperIFIX does not work with XZ1 Compact, or, maybe, does not work on this phone through Windows 7. I opened several support tickets where I posted screen captures of the drivers working, but XperiFIX failing to connect, and many more. I am not trying anymore.... and, imagine, I am in principle against root, especially fo OReo!!!

I installed LineageOS and everything works perfectly, but it is still not better than my initial configuration without bloatware (which I uninstalled with ADB and uploaded a full list on another place here on this Forum).

The nearest I can get to what I had, short of selling the phone and getting a new one, is to make XperiFIX to work.... but I stopped trying, since I ran out of ideas.,
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
This is really disappointing to hear (I'm still considering unlocking and was planning on using Xperifix). Out of curiosity, have you tried this method? https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-co...nel-sony-xz1-compact-16-january-2018-t3736068 It appears as if some people at the end of the thread are having success.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
I will try it tonight. It is my last resort... but first I have to make the computer recognise the phone. You see, with LineageOS, the computer now does not see the phone at all. But, the camera is working. So, first let the PC recognise it, then flash the latest standard ROM, then follow the advise on the page you sent. Let's hope....

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I am still of the initial opinion that there is no real need to root. See my other post about bloatware removal! My battery would go 2 and half days!!! Why did I not follow my own advise? Mystery.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
This is the first phone in a long time that I've attempted to use without root. For the most part, it's been OK, especially with being able to remove some bloatware using the ADB commands (although it was still much easier to freeze with Titanium Backup). However, I'm still struggling with ads - I'm shocked at how bad some ads are - full page overlays, video ads, etc. I guess I'm just not used to ads on mobile since it's been so long since I've had to deal with them. I know there are options out there to use without root such as adguard, etc. Not sure if I want to go down that road yet..... I'd rather just root and use AdAway, but don't want to get stuck with a non-working camera.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
Considering the cost of the phone, the money one has to pay for some really good and essential ads is minimal. Look at me now: I am using the LineageOS, and I have lost most of the features which I paid for. "OK Google" is essential when you are driving or when you are using bluetooth headphones, for example. I had paid in all about $20 for apps, which now do not know me!!!

I have got Xperiafix to work on my XZ1c, the software works well

Coming from 7 years of rooting phones, getting the drivers to work took several days of messing about, really difficult. The biggest problem is that Windows chooses the wrong driver by default when you plug the phone running TWRP in. You have to plug the phone in running TWRP, then force Windows to change the driver to the Google ADB driver.

You need several drivers, not just the one listed previously.

There is a how to video and driver link here
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
Your encouragement, and the fact that you achieved the desired result on the same phone inspired me. The time is half past two in the morning. I had to bot into safe mode, install drivers, and then re-install them whilst XperiFIX was active. Done it. Thank you. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Free25:
Just a word to say that, following advice received from sToRm//, I got Xperifix to run successfully on my XZ1 Compact today. The camera is functioning again and the phone is rooted.

It was a driver issue. When in TWRP boot mode, my phone was listed in Device Manager as ‘Portable Devices’ – ‘G8441’. Following advice, I deleted this driver, then manually installed the Sony ADB driver in its place. Xperifix then ran successfully.

Many thanks to all on this forum for offering advice on how to get around this problem, and to sToRm// for solving it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anti-root:
Maybe, as a piece of advice, or somersetting to try anyway when all else fails: boot windows in safe mode, install the Google and Sony drivers, and then reboot into normal mode. Now Windows will change the drivers and put the one Free25 mentioned "Portable Devices’ – ‘G8441" . Do not despair. Start XperiFix and UPDATE the driver you see. Now, for the first time, Windows will let you see the devices when you say "show all devices". You resurrect both drivers (for Flash mode), and proceed. This is what worked for me after a whole week of efforts! (I still think that some instructions to this effect should be put on the XperiFIX site...)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andacro:
Installing the drivers in safe mode didn't work. Had to boot with signature verification off to get them to work.

Windows 10.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] remctrl:
OK It works... BUT!!

I have it working, using Windows 7

But it was a royal PITA! Dealing with DRIVERS. This PAIN is caused by a UI "issue" with Xperiafix:

Xperiafix uses SYSTEM MODAL dialogs placed in the center of the monitor. This NEEDS to be changed to APPLICATION MODAL!!!!

SYSTEM MODAL dialogs will hide MOST driver maintenance dialogs, especially confirmation dialogs.

F-ing around with Windows Drivers becomes all but impossible when these dialogs are hidden by UNMOVEABLE Xperiafix UI.

I understand the nature of what Xperiafix does is highly "experimental", but implementing the proper UI styles should be done right in this app. I hope the Xperifix dev will make this change ASAP!!

The main issue with Windows 7 is forcing the device manager to use the proper sony ADB driver, but under the "Android Devices" class - NOT the "...sa0117.." class group. Attempts to use the "Have Disk" option and point to the unpack folder on disk will ALWAYS dump the sony driver into the sa0117 class group. Using the google ADB Drivers is necessary, but mainly to get the "Android Devices" class. You have to install both drivers, but after TWRP is up, the goog drivers under "Android Devices" must be switched to the "Sony sa0117 ADB Interface Driver".... This can ONLY be accomplished on Windows 7 if you select the "Pick from driver already installed on system" option - NOT from the unpack location on disk. The "RU Sure??" warning will appear under the Xperifix dialog (see rant above) but after messing around guessing the keyboard shortcuts, I FINALLY was able to replace the driver. Yay!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] sToRm//:
Dude... You don't even have to run XperiFIX while installing drivers. Just connect the device in fastboot mode, install the Android ADB Interface driver. Then boot into TWRP, connect again and install the Sony XXXX ADB Interface driver. That's it. No XperiFIX fault...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andacro:
Came from LOS, and had to use Xperifirm and Flashtool to install .205. The flashmode driver that is in the above link was too old for Flashtool. Uninstalled the usb driver and the Sony driver, and then installed the Flashtool drivers with signature verification off. Flashtool worked, and XperiFix too!

Correction: I'm pretty sure it was the 15 sec. adb & fastboot installer that had too old flashmode drivers.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] remctrl:
Changing any driver settings

Technically you are correct ONLY if TWRP was installed before running XperiFIX . So please add the option to skip TWRP install - Because why should the user wait for TWRP to re-download and reinstall if it is already installed?

Again, simply switching XperiFIX dialogs to "application Modal" will make driver maintenance possible while XperiFIX is running.

Take a look at this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window#Problems
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] sToRm//:
If the drivers are not correctly installed, you can let XperiFIX install TWRP and then close the application. Then boot TWRP and install the correct driver without XperiFIX running. After that, boot into fastboot and run XperiFIX. No problem at all.

Yepp, the dialogs will be fixed with the next release. ;)

Yes, Windows7 is much easier than Windows10. You will still need to add the ADB driver manually, but it will work for sure.

XZ1C:

Xperifix worked for me on Pie great for the last year. However, today I tried to flash voLTE and lost root when I did. I have been unable to use Xperifix to restore root (I believe because the firmware on my phone is later than Xperifix). I have tried manually installing Magisk via https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images but while I can install the manager I cannot achieve root. My camera works fine.

Is my only option to downgrade to 47.1.A.16.20, run Xperifix, and upgrade to Pie again? I'd like to restore my data via recovery (I have the backup), but I worry I would lose root again.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] ToddBonzalez:
Update: I tried to downgrade to 47.1.A.16.20 via Flashtool but while it all seemed to operate properly nothing on my phone has changed, I'm still on the latest firmware and thus incompatible with Xperifix. @sToRm// what would you recommend? Thanks for your help, I'd be lost without it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] New1Phone:
T-Mobile will only do a 'temporary unlock' on an S8+ my friend gave me, so I've got 30 days til they lock it again (oddly enough they say we can do this 5 times....can't make sense of that but ok!)

I want to carrier-unlock/crack this handset and it doesn't matter to me if I 'trip' the CPU by rooting to do this (I don't care about not getting updates, am not even intending to use data on this handset just talk/text), though I'm not sure rooting is even required as I've read on Reddit about newer firmwares that you can flash to that, once flashed, will make the handset carrier-free - I'm hoping against hope that that's true and that there's a simple/straight-forward way to just update it and crack the lock but am doubting that, *but* if I'm OK with 'breaking' the functionality of data-usage/updates to android/etc, is there *any* possible avenue for flashing/anything to crack that lock? So long as I can still call/text I'd be happy, am more than fine 'taking it off the network' so far as data is concerned and hoping that would make *some* approach worthwhile, so far my best bet is taking a chance with sites that sell codes to unlock but I've read of people doing this only for the phone to be re-locked (presumably the carrier catches-on, this is part of why I think just disabling data completely would be a smart move for me to get&keep the handset unlocked, and losing data capabilities isn't a real issue for me in the first place as there's wifi everywhere anyways!)

Thanks for any suggestions of what I could look into, I know the 'lock' is on the cpu (snapdragon/US-based/t-mobile) so harder to get around but just can't imagine it's un-crackable w/o a tech on their side helping me (ie those 'unlock unit' sites, which I'm imagining are run by people who work within the telecom infrastructure if they're able to do what they claim- still is hard to believe they'd be able to do that very long w/o being shut-down, it's not like they're working via bitcoin-only or something!)
