Still having trouble

Sorry bothering you again...

But the option in the developer settings which is called oem unlock is grayed out so i cannot activate it. Beneath it it says: Please connect to the internet or contact your mobile carrier. Have you experienced this too? Am i able to go around this with ADB? Or is my phone locked by T-Mobile (Germany) because i have the branding logo before the boot screen appears. It is not simlocked (i am not using a T-mobile sim card) and dialing into the numpad reveals that the the bootloader can be unlocked. Thanks for your help i really appreciate it. :)

Hello,

If you are ni Pie and you didn’t unlock before, you need to downgrade to Oreo and unlock bootloader

I am unable to update Android Webview, Facebook, Google, Swiftkey, 3D Creator and various other apps from the playstore. Do any of these errors have to do with V5? Also I am unable to use the Album app as it states "memory unavailable" upon open. Yet the SD Card is working fine, photos are loading in the background of that popup, I've unmounted and remounted the SD and the error still persists.

I followed the installation instructions in the previous post.

You should have wiped internal sd in recovery. TWRP bug

Envoyé de mon H8266 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Can you access the internal andthe external (sdcard) memory in the file explorer?

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

No TWRP bug.

It just works as intended.

The internal SDcard is encrypted and of course if you only wipe DATA, the internal sdcard is still encrypted.

Encryption is handled by the firmware. TWRP does not encrypt.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] niaboc79:
TWRP isn't able to decrypt sd so with a fresh install you must wipe internal sd. Issue comes from TWRP cause a 100% working one can decrypt.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
The problem was always there if you only wipe DATA without wiping internal storage.

It's normal.

The system can't decrypt the internal storage too.

That's the cause of his bugs.

TWRP can decrypt everything if the security date matches.

But doesn't change the encryption.

That's only sony (the firmware) which changes the encryption.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] niaboc79:
Not really, I wiped data many times with your TWRP and didn't get any issue with sd card [emoji6]

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Seems that TWRP can decrypt the march decryption successfully, too.

It's just the sony firmware which ****ed the encryption.

TWRP CAN'T encrypt, it can only READ the encryption.

No write access to the encryption footer of the internal storage.

It just wipes a path (the path to DATA), if you only wipe DATA and not internal storage.

And the sony stock firmware can't handle it correctly.

You should reproduce this behaviour it correctly and only wipe DATA and DALVIK, but not INTERNAL STORAGE. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] niaboc79:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I don't know which release he used for the bootable twrp.img file. but I know that the security patch date string is important for the decryption and only the system encrypts data. The TWRP only decrypts and deletes partitions and paths if you wish to delete them.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fcb13:
I can access the sdcard, not any internal memory. Is it possible to fix this without doing a fresh install? It's a pain to have to re-setup all my accounts and apps :p

UPDATE: Booting into twrp via shoey's method I wiped internal data as well as dalvik/art cache. Now im able to update those apps as well as access the album.

Your latest TWRP with combined 202 zImage/dtb by [MENTION=4418980]j4nn[/MENTION] for H8216, plus a tweaked recovery fstab by me.

It's just a workaround for flashing things until you have time to make an update.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I don't want to blame you, and thank you

My decryption works :)

It's funny that twrp doesn't ask for a password and just decrypt my data.

Maybe it's cached somewhere between restarts.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] levone1:
Interesting... I haven't actually tried it. Maybe I can test at some point and let you know. It seems like the error message is indicating a problem with the output device, (the device you're mirroring to), and not necessarily a problem with the mirroring function on the phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
I've actually done some research. It's due to the drm getting ****ed up on bl unlock. Hdcp is a protection layer, which does no good in actually stopping piracy and just gets in the way of normal usage. My unrooted phones can do it no problem (mirroring ro the same tv, and a dongle) and the xperia can mirror the settings screen, the sony music app, and the Xperia launcher. So I was thinking a custom rom might solve the issue, except that I really like the stock camera app and features, so I want to stay on stock if I can. Or if the camera (and slow motion) is flashable on aosp or omni or whatever, I can do that too.

So I'd really appreciate if you or someone else can test existenz for me.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
What I found, when I was doing research, is this:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1wIM67kVVL8

Which is:

1. change the following code line in /system/etc/wfdconfig.xml:

ContentProtection

Valid1/Valid

to

ContentProtection

Valid0/Valid

2. then add a line in /system/build.prop after "persist.debug.wfd.enable=1"

persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring=1

3. and then from ADB

"adb shell su setprop persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring 1"

4. Reboot

And that changed the error. At first the error was "unable to mirror" at all, then after those steps I get the error I posted, where I can only mirror certain apps.
