So, what do we lose in this process? Granted it's been reported that the camera is working without the need for a DRM fix, but do we lose other things like video and sound enchantment options?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ilblago81:
I have pie stock...can i start guide from point 10 ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] arslancn:
look at this thread for backup/restore your DRM keys
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
In my experience I can tell you that nothing is lost on the camera neither in the sound effects nor the color effects on the photos ...

Absolutely yes

From the use I note that the recovery doesn't read the internal data, but only the sd card. I still don't understand if it's the firmware that has bugs or the twrp that still isn't calibrated for Adroid Pie.

Edit: I found in the XDA site the recovery for the new firmwre and everything works fine here

Would this work on SOV36 (AU XZ1)?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
Honestly I don't know, but if in your device install the firmware that we install in the g8341 means that you can. I'm thinking it's the same thing!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chiacla:
Sorry, but the requirement is always with unlocked bootloader?Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dwang040:
Wait... I'm confused. I need an unlocked bootloader for this correct? Also, am I missing a step? I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. I have the key from Sony, but whenever I turn off the phone and try to enter bootloader mode (volume up + usb charger), the notification light turns blue, and that's it. Nothing appears on my screen, if I type fastboot devices, no devices appear as listed. And if I try to run the line of code, I'm just stuck "waiting for device" and nothing happens? Am I being stupid and missing something? Don't remember having this many issues with my htc m9.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Are your drivers properly installed reason I am asking is you're not getting a return when you type in fastboot devices, go back to you developer setting, revoke your debugging , then reinstall your drivers turn on USB debugging and see what happens?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dwang040:
Hmm, I think I know why it wasn't working? I got the xperia xz1 drivers off of the sony developer website, and I went to device manager and tried to do the legacy driver install, but I keep getting "This device cannot start (code 10)" Maybe that's the issue? And if so, am I installing it wrong or something?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
What OS is on your computer?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dwang040:
Windows 10
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Did you disable the driver verification signature?

(https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho....1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/) then reinstall min adb fastboot drivers and Sony companion and let it detect your phone..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
you have to unlock the bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
did you install flashtool? did you install the drivers from the flashtool "drivers" folder? Did you unlocked the bootloader? ther'is no need to work on win10 signature
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dwang040:
I was under the impression that flash tool is used to get the latest version of the pi (which I already have as the update rolled out a few days ago)? Not for unlocking the bootloader? As for my bootloader, I'm stuck on that step. I'm following sony's steps on unlocking the bootloader, however, I'm stuck on the fastboot as my device isn't recognized. I guess I'll try again from the top, uninstall all the current drivers and reinstall them again.

I also want to add, whenever I plug my phone in into bootloader mode, the pc does recognize that a device is connected as the notification pops up, but again, "fastboot devices" returns nothing. Is there supposed to be a screen for the bootloader? Or is it just a black screen with the blue led?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
He won't be able to unlock his bl till he figures out the issues with his drivers.. whether he uses the ones in flashtool, installs min adb and fastboot drivers or the android sdk..

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Once you get your driver's fixed, just follow the directions given by Sony.. Your phone screen will remain black as all info will be done on your computer..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
Absolutely no, flashtool doesn't need to unlock the bootloader, rather serves to re-lock it in some xperia devices. To unlock it you have to use cmd commands in adb & fastboot, but you can find it here in the XZ1 section.

The cell screen remains black and a blue led appears if you connect in fastboot mode, if you connect in flash mode the screen remains black, but a green LED appears.

if you have problems with the recognition of the device on your PC I can link my guide, it's in italian but if you use google translator you understand it well here
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
I've checked out the thread but it appears only a few with the xz1 have tried it and they didn't report the outcome, well except one who somehow managed to turn his device in an expensive paperweight.. But I will check it out this weekend..

Does this method (backup/restore TA) works on Android Pie (47.2.A.4.45) or I have to downgrade?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
You will need to downgrade to the firmware in the op as it is what needed for the temp root to work to get the ta.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:

it also works in the new firmware 47.2.A.6.30

One question : I've heard that Sony devices won't boot on stock os when you unlock your bootloader for "safety reasons".... Could someone tell me if it is actually true or not? And.... Introduce me to the drm stuff, I'm a bit newbie to sony software ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Really, hmm.. no you can boot just fine with the boot loader unlocked but you will get a nice little message letting you know that it's is upon boot. the DRM keys control "control" or effect some of Sony propriety things like the camera, sound and video enhancement things . With Oreo there is a DRM fix but with Pie there isn't but with Pie you camera will still work but some say the quality may be a bit off. If you haven't already unlocked your boot loader go have a read over here ( https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510 ) j4nn has worked very hard and has give us a way to backup the TA. partition and reinstall it after you unlock your bl and thing work as they should but it does require a bit of patience and some time..

Use Xperiafirm and search for the latest version for XZ1 poplar. If you use newflasher you lose all the data and you have to reinstall the twrp and redo the root.

TWRP for xz1 Japan

Hey [MENTION=4687840]theflanker[/MENTION], thanks for your work for our Xperia!

I have a XZ1 version for the Japanese market, from DOCOMO with model number SO-01K, Android 9.0 47.2.B.3.0

Can you make for me a TWRP?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] theflanker:
Sorry but TWRP isn't my job. You should try the TWRP team!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NewbieNoob123:
Help pls

To install TWRP you need your bootloader unlocked..

However, I tried everything to unlock my bootloader, but when I open my command window and use the required commands there is no response at all.

I followed every step on the sony website, but I still can't manage to unlock it..

What am I doing wrong here, please help :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Are your adb and fastboot drivers install correctly?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NewbieNoob123:
I installed and tried multiple adb and fastboot drivers from xda and neither of them gave a response on the command; 'fastboot devices'.

So I don't think that the drivers are the problem, but not sure..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
Are you on windows 10, if so did you disable your drivers signature?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NewbieNoob123:
I am on Windows 10 yes, and I don't think I did that. How can I disable drivers signature?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
homework time.. search Google.. it's easy..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NewbieNoob123:
I disabled the drivers signature, but I still don't get any response.

Could it be that I need to use CMD instead of Powershell? If so, I tried to change it to CMD already, but I am not allowed to give CMD full controll..

Sorry for being a noob, but nothing works for me apparently.. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] lilbrat:
hmm.. only other thing that crosses my mind is your USB debugging on or your drivers are still wacky..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NewbieNoob123:
Usb debugging is on, yes.

Pls help me anybody im finished the guide correctly but now i try install one module on magisk and restart my phone and nothing happen with the twrp is the same ? Why ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] LineArc:
Well it is because powershell requires a little change in the command line. Search for it. I encountered the same error once which upon investigation was solved by just changing the command line which apparently I have forgotten.

Use the TWRP File Manager and Navigate to /data/sytem/ and delete the following files:

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal.

gatekeeper.password.key

gatekeeper.pattern.key
