thats a pretty much common bug in XZ1, XZ1C and XZP and sony never came with a full solution, meaning this couldbe hardware related.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Kashikaa:
Stay on Oreo?

Hey guys,

After going through the responses n this thread I get the impression that upgrading is not beneficial at all. Am I right to just keep Oreo on the XZP for now?

And is there any hope for Android Pie to function properly on this device?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] rb69:
I dont think so - latest firmware mostly are always better - different users will have different needs and usage patterns :) it all depends how it is configured and used.

so far I didnt face any issue with my XZP with UK Pie. no crash, no wifi issues or any app hangout! All works ver well 100% of time with tons of apps and mails and msgs and browsing and gaming.

I suggest reset to factory and reconfigure and don't use backed up configuration to restore rather do all from scratch. it should work. this is my 2c.

having said so - Still waiting DE customised :D wait never ends.

Update good

I have been using pie for almost two months and now got the latest update 47.2.A.4.41 (India) G8142, found no problems, everything working fine, and also rooted it with no problems. Only thing is I always do a clean install after wiping everything, using the latest flashtool.

Direct update to Pie (first version) without clean install, feel that the phone have occasion bump and shutter unlike Oreo. So for 3rd version i completely wipe clean and reinstall from Google backup. The different is perceivable.

Unlocked bootloader - no HDR playback on Prime Video/Netflix

Hi all,

Made the mistake of unlocking my XZ Premium's bootloader and flashed Android Pie to my phone. It's great, snappy and with better animations, but for some reason there's no HDR playback on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. But I can play HDR content on YouTube. Also, whenever I try to turn on video enhancement in Settings, I don't see any changes. I know you can't really relock the bootloader (tried many, many times) so I was just wondering if HDR can still be enabled? Rooting via Magisk or SuperSU isn't an optiom for me since my banking app won't work on a rooted device. Any help? Gladly appreciate it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Elysiumx:

Just don't wipe/flash userdata and ssd (for the internal memory)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gabry97:
can I use a different firmware version compared to my country (Italy) or not? because I saw that the Austrialian version is more recent than the Italian one. do you have to wipe if the version is different?thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] rb69:
Ofcourse you can flash other AUS version to your mobile - however make sure you check 4G coverage bands and choose the right country version since you will flash the full image.

Wipe is always good but not mandatory in upgrades. However when flashing other version or new version images - always go for full wipe as one will realize the new functionalities more precisely.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] whoosename:
Yes, it's possible to use a different firmware (country). In your case you should use the customized CH (Switzerland). For a clean installation, yes wipe.

Hey guys,

Can someone point me in the right direction to upgrade to Pie?

Curenntly im at 47.1.A.12.179 and want to install .41

Only interested in Magisk after upgrading.

If i remember correctly:

-flash latest Oreo with newsflasher

-Reboot when at install wizard and shutdown.

-flash .41 with newsflasher.

-reboot when at install wizard and shutdown.

-flash (latest?) TWRP.

-reboot and shutdown after PIN-screen

-flash (latest?) Magisk.

Is this the correct way?

Am intended to do a clean install.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
It is but it's long winded... You can safely skip a few steps.

Flash .41 with new flasher. Dont boot.

Fastboot latest TWRP straight after.

Boot into TWRP (vol down and power, release both at the vibration) possibly a useless step now as recovery goes into its own partition, but meh.

Tick the box, swipe right then reboot system.

Setup as usual. Reboot to recovery whenever you are ready and flash magisk v18.
