Any news from jerpelea bro ?

Btw nov patch is pretty good in that way and if we keep our camera :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I don't like some bugs, but I live with them. :P

No response in the Github Issue. :)

Weird, because he is fast in answering stuff.

Maybe he internally asked the Sony Company.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Bugs which bugs ? I dont have any ^^

But oke you can life with it :sily:

Hmm oke weird and yes probarly he ask internal so who knows :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
while upgrading TWRP for the new month patch, I can see, that the touch driver got an update again.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Ok. So how do I flash to android 9 nov patch?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Look into the Android 9 folder :) Same procedure :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status update:

10.12.2018
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Wait so I’ll have to reroot and lose data again? Or am I missing something
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Just remove the userdata.sin before flashing.

Then boot and look if it boots.

Then reinstall TWRP and mgisk app:)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Just make sure I take a photo first right?

So use flasher

Update rom

Then follow the steps for root but with twrp in android 9 folder
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Yes !

Take photo 1st on oreo with the drm fix then use new flasher and the files from Android 9 folder and follow the steps.. Quite easy ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
But delete userdata sin from Android 9 folder first :silly:

Friend has unlocked his XZ3 with December build and rooted via patched boot.img. Camera preview and camera itself works without issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
wtf

I hope we get an good answer from sony.

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues/261

Does he still have noise cancellation?

We lost it in our working pre-december camera.

Does he maybe want to test my TWRP? :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

I tested the december twrp with the december kernel on the november firmware.

Even with a matching dtbo, the device don't boot.

Even the TWRP doesn't work.

Will upgrade to december and evaluate the situation.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Huh how did he do that ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

Camera preview is black, but I can make photos with the same quality like before.

But even opencamera is black now, so they upgraded their drm to kick other camera apps, too.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Screenshots and a camera picture.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Ups, the camera shot.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
And the userdata file will be named something like userdata not exactly that name right?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
something like userdata.sin with a few other letters.

There is and will be only one userdata file now and in the future. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Bro [MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION] what if you patch the boot.img of our xz2 and look if that works on Dec patch ? :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Device would bootloop, if I use the XZ3 kernel. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
I talk about the xz2 kernel lol
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

If I flash with the december patch level the november system, the device bootloops.

Same if I add the system_other.sin, too. (btw. it flaashes the other slot, not the active one and I don't know why it does that and what it does.

I flashed twrp and magisk.

Bootloop.

Sadly.

But the TWRP works. :silly:

Feel free to test, how to mix the december and the november patches, to get the camera back, with the benefits of the higher bugfix /security release.

Batterylife is great.

I stop search for a solution in this sector.

It takes too much time I could spend in a solution for the encryption.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
And then? What do you want? :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

I don't need

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

anymore.

Maybe magisk 18.0 does it now for us?

Maybe because it plays with DM verity.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Dunno.. A working camera onf Dec patch as on Nov patch, that other member said his friend have xz3 and patched his boot.img maybe that works on our xz2 by patching our xz2 kernel.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Ahhh, now I understand you. :D

He said he patched it with magisk. You don't need twrp to get magisk, you only need to open the magisk manager app and patch a boot.img file, which then you can flash from your PC via fastboot. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Haha yes bro exactly and can you try that and see if camera works then ? I cant because i am outside, so i wonder if that works for us either ^^
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Of course my camera does not magical work with magisk 18.0. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Oke and what you mean ? :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I mean my camera preview is black, but I can shoot on people with my phone and take their pictures/souls. :silly:

And TWRP is working very well. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Ok just making sure. Any word on something that can help make android think it’s using WiFi when on LTE network?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sToRm//:
Hahahaha... Looks like Sony does everything to not get pwnd again. They also removed some hints from binaries, so that reversing is more difficult. I swear, if I get DRM hacked on Pie, I will buy a "XperiFIX" shirt, go to the Sony office in Munich, knock on the door, point my finger to the dude and yell "Haaaahaaaa!"...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I hope they're not calling the police like for the people who are smashing the movie and game copy protections. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Hahaha yes i read that lol but cant we patch the boot.img to get camera working what his friend did on his xz3 on Dec patch for our xz2 or probarly aint work ? I wonder someone comes with a solution for those that cant buy experifix :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
The patch he applied was magisk. It gives you root and module support. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:

[MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION]

Just for clarification:

The problem with the mentioned bootloop comes only when we flash the November patch level on the december patch level, right?

So when i first update the stock system to december patch level, then twrp, then your aosp rom via fastboot and as last step Magisk via Recovery i shouldn't get any problems with booting. Is this right?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I can't use the December stock kernel with the November stock firmware, or I made a mistake with vbmeta.

I also can't use the November stock system partition with the December stock firmware.

But I am running the December patch level with black picture camera preview, magisk and TWRP.

It works nice, I like to Bugfixes of the Sony firmware and the battery life.

Without a working camera preview.

BTW.

That's not the AOSP thread.

AOSP needs a modified twrp.

Since PIE needs a separated dtbo partition.

Edit:

Ohh, just flash December with newflasher, boot it to install the baseband, flash my aosp, but wait for the next release and flash magisk via magisk app Bootimage injection.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Seems like devices which gets unlocked with december patch doesn't loose their camera.

I hope they "backport" this fix for already unlocked devices...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
What if we use fw .58 files from system/vendor and then the camera folder and make a flashable zip of that and try to flash on fw 126, should that not work ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
58?

84?

Try it :)

I would wait for the GitHub issue to be closed. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shoey63:
I think the "bug" was allowing preview on the older firmware, which they "fixed" with the latest update [emoji39]
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Damn haha stupid typos i mean 84 and i cant try i am at work, i just curious who could try

Hmm oke and no way to fix it ?

Edit:

I tried to make a fix and toke some files from fw 84 but dunno if it works on fw 126, so please if someone could try and post a feedback or let we all fixing this issue with black camera on fw 126.. Flash this zip on fw 126 with recovery:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phyxar:
I'm on 126 December patch and I haven't unlock my xz2c, is it true camera would stay OK, if unlock bootloader from 126...? What feature would lost if unlock from 126..?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Maybe everything drm stuff except the camera.

I only read it from others.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] twistedddx:
If it is true we assume it leaves ta in a different state.

Similar but different to how drmfix was leaving ta after use in oreo.

Sounds like camera team is uninterested in "fixing" from their code and instead depend on ta being in an exact state. Maybe camera team view November and lower unlock as incorrect ta change as it is out of spec.

It would be interesting if Sony can get the previously unlocked phones back on the correct path.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
If you are right, seppuku would be a solution. :silly:

I am very interested in the final solution of this issue. :)

twrp for .126 fw

Hi, i modified twrp installer for .126 firmware (XZ2 only)

also camera is fixed for .126 fw.

1. when using newflasher, remove vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin from firmware directory!

when using fastboot, Exclude VENDOR! or remove vendor.sin from .ftf file.

2. flash .126 fw (without vendor) over .58fw.

3. fastboot flash twrp.img (use latest xz2 pie one)

4. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (use latest xz2 pie one)

5. reboot to recovery

6. install twrp_for_stock126.zip (stock kernel and twrp installer are both included in this file)

7. install magisk (i recommend using latest - 18.0 for now)

8. Install camera fix.

9. Reboot to system or install anything else u want.

Thats all. Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shoey63:
Good news indeed!

I clean flashed from Oreo with sToRm// drm fix (official one) straight to .126 and got confronted with black preview screen. Camera still worked though.

Will try your fix tomorrow and report back.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Sadly a disadvantage is that we are not getting the security December fixes in the vendor partition (entire hardware drivers)

Or the driver Bugfixes. (Touch drivers included)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Yeah bro and flash fw 84 and then flash fw 126 but before flash delete vendor.sin of fw 126 and then flash fw 126 with newflasher, instructions stands in my thread by [MENTION=6103945]gouster3[/MENTION] ;)

So far i know all works great and no issues at all or drain and atleast we have fixed camera instead if black screen, its looks like i did something bad in your eyes bro :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
As far as I know in my years of experience in the IT industry is, that you

1. Don't "see" security holes as enduser

2. You life with your bugs and ignore them like bad smelling air over the time

3. Same like 2. Goes to the camera quality.

We don't have a drm fix, we don't have the camera drm quality enhancement stuff.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Calm down oke, its a short fix for black camera for those that want and need the camera back for daily use, this is my solution, if you can life with a black camera.. Go ahead but i am not, i hope Sony fix it on the january patch bro ;)

And you can choose between a camera and security holes or security fixes.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old.splatterhand:
I'm just curious, but where can we get twrp installer for .126 firmware?

The twrp_for_stock126.zip leads to the camera fix thread.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Why not just use my own?

I am running 126 with twrp :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old.splatterhand:
Ah, ok. I wasn't sure if this is a "special" version, needed for the "fix".
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
then it shouldn't be included in the twrp installer, but included in the camera fix zip.

in his special version should only be the kernel and twrp installer included, which I avoided in the past.

It's easier to update the twrp installer separately without the need to do it for each single device.

And it saves me space. :p
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old.splatterhand:

Ok sorry but reading through last few pages since I posted. I’m kinda lost as to what happened and what’s going on now?

I’m off work this weekend and plan to update my phone to android 9 tonight or sometime this weekend. Let me see if I can get this straight....

Ok. So I get the android 9 file from mega for my xz2c

Put newflasher files in the folder after I unzip it

I then delete the userdata file (be sure to have taken at least one photo on my rooted phone before hand)

Run newflasher to update my phone

Then I start the Fastboot process like on page one

But be sure to use twrp file in the android 9 folder for xz2c, same goes for the kernel installer

Should that be right?

Just so I’m sure can someone direct link me to those files. I just wanna keep my root phone and upgrade to the android 9 with a camera fix to stay. Can’t have black previewer. Need camera for work.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:

4. Kernel installer
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:

For your specific device, the newest files, yes. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Ok. I’m gonna run it down step by step just to be sure.

Step 1: On my pc I download the firmware from the folder:

Sony-android9-stock-xz2c-h8314 file

Step 2: copy files from my newflasher folder over to the folder I just unzipped from step 1.

Step 3: delete the userdata file in same folder as above.

Step 4: run newflasher.exe

Step 5:Fastboot twrp. Twrp file is found at:

Sony-android9-twrp-universal-11/16/2018-xz2c twrp img

Step 6: Fastboot vbmeta using file found at:

Sony-android9-twrp-universal-11/16/2018-vbmeta img

Step 7: reboot into recovery

Step 8: flash stock kernel file downloaded from :

Sony-android9-twrp-xz2c-11/16/2018-stockkernel installer

Step 9: flash the twrp installer downloaded from:

Sony-android9-twrp-universal-11/16/2018-twrpinstaller

Step 9: reboot into recovery

Step 10: flash magisk. File can be found from magisk website. V18
