Just wipe data and cache and dalvik in twrp (factory reset) and then flash existenz and magisk and reboot
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xo2415:
well, bummer! cuz phone is not turning off or responding to any buttons. just the XPERIA animation is going on and even flashtool isnt recognizing the device at this stage.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Hold down power and volume up until it vibrates three times. That will shut it down.

Then you can enter twrp again.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xo2415:
do you know a way in which i could just shut the phone down at least?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:

ahhh! i kind of have a faulty volume up button. is there any other way?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Not really, try pinching the screen and back gently a centimetre or two in from the up button, worked for me when i had a dodgy button.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xo2415:
i guess im gonna wait till all the charge is drained and then try flashing stock.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
After flashing twrp, what did you do?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] babuuu:
If you want to reboot to flashmode connect it to your computer then press and hold power + vol up, when it vibrates release these two buttons and then press and hold vol down button until LED lights green
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xo2415:
flashed magisk and then flashed the patch and then reboot.

the sony logo came, then the existenze logo came, then powered by android, and then stuck in the XPERIA animation now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
You missed the factory reset, and wrong order.

You wont need to flash stock again, when it dies and after a little charge ( or if you get the volume up button working) all you have to do is factory reset in twrp, flash existenz first then magisk and reboot.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xo2415:
had more than 70% charge so taking soo much time lamo. anyways, had a bunch of questions.

clean flash on top of chinese .107 causes my system UI to NOT load.

Flashed 15 times, wasted my night, got upset.

flashed in different order:

stock -> magisk -> wipe -> existenz

stock -> wipe -> magisk -> existenz

stock -> wipe -> existenz -> magisk

stock -> existenz -> magisk -> wipe

and other ways. SYSTEM UI DOESNT START.

more tries didn't do any good...

Noob asking questions

I am new to sony, wanted to flash all these nice pieces but i don't understand couple of things:

I am on latest firmware and kernel stock: do i have to download them again? and if so where? do i have to choose a particular version?

The file that i have downloaded from link at beginning is the patch?

What are all those files you find near topic title?

Thanks in advance for your time and help
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
If you are on latest firmware (ending in .107) and have TWRP recovery installed, download the v10 patch from here and copy to your internal storage/sd card

https://mega.nz/#!xIMxmKiY!Uu9N9cl0pgSwqKiPcRBtBHE5Oz-BBZzSqq7g-uIxF4Q

Then boot into recovery, perform a factory reset (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache) flash the v10 patch, flash magisk and reboot. Thats it.

First boot may take 5 minutes or so.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Grog.Al:
Thank you for the explanation, and sorry to bother you, but looking for twrp I got lost: this sony is quite different from previous devices I had.

47.2.A.10.107 I'm on this build, but when I tried to find explanations on twrp installation I just didn't understand which one and how to do it.

I haven't even unlocked bootloader, I am just trying to find the method beforehand as always.

Is it the maple one to be installed?

Do I need also a custom kernel?

I know how to use ADB but this time it's just my lack of knowledge and on the other side a massive amount of information that is not clear to me.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Al.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
For twrp, find below a link to a TWRP i recommend (AromaTWRP.img).

Flash using fastboot, after TA backup and unlocking bootloader.

https://mega.nz/#!3FgiFayK!7A_9Qu34TJt34IX7twgzegBxDv0j-Iai1d8aDv3BHgU

Sony have files (TA keys) related to camera/sound performance that are deleted when unlocking the bootloader.

There is a way to back the TA keys up prior to unlocking.

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-co...y-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510#login

You will need to downgrade the firmware back to oreo (download links provided in the thread above) and follow the steps closely.

Sony bootloader unlock guide: https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/

You dont need a custom kernel until much later and only if you want double tap to wake.

Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

You can use this program above to download the latest firmware again if you backed up your TA keys, and to install flashmode (installing firmware) drivers, and fastboot (installing TWRP/kernels) drivers.

And i use Minimal ADB and Fastboot personally for adb/fastboot but you can use whatever method you prefer.

Hey guys, i flashed it earlier(v7.) and worked fine, now i wanted to flash the v10 and i always got bootloop, now with the v7 too. its just doesnt work.. doesnt matter how i try. i tried from multiple stock firmwares to multiple existenz versions.. how i do: flash the stock with newflasher -> boot -> flash twrp 3.2.2-0 (only this version see my internal storage) -> boot -> in TWRP: factory reset -> install -> and if i want to boot, i always got bootloop. any ideas? pls. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] ishemes:
It worked fine for me last week, but I did not boot the firmware before going into TWRP. So try this:

flash the stock with newflasher -> DO NOT REBOOT -> flash twrp -> boot into TWRP -> in TWRP: factory reset -> flash eXistenZ -> reboot
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] itsdundee:
i dont have an sd card so i need to boot to copy the rom from my PC.. and i cant copy it while im in TWRP cause in the middle of the copy its just crashes. :/ btw if i dont boot once, twrp somehow doesnt see my internal storage :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] yoann654:
Finally succeeded after two days trying hard.

I'm a total beginner in rom flashing and android root stuff so my bad experience may help others newbs like me.

The installation procedure I've followed :

1) Flash latest Pie firmware with Newflasher

- To have a clean system(Kernel, rom, everything). Easy to do, pretty straight forward, followed a tutorial and no issues encountered.

2) Flash latest TWRP in Fastboot mode.

- Turn the device in Fastboot mode with ADB (adb reboot bootloader) OR device PLUGGED to pc and SHUT DOWN hold volume UP and power until the first vibration. Now you should be in Fastboot mode (black screen, blue LED). Like with adb command, you should now see your device when you type "fastboot devices" in the command line.

- Type "fastboot flash recovery *name of the TWRP file*". If you have an error like "can't read the maximum allocated size..." try changing USB ports or using a hub, i've read on some forums that it may not like the USB 3.0 ports. That was a real hassle to find out.

3) Flash Magisk

- Put magisk (and eXistenZ to save time) on the device sd or internal storage, it should do the same.

- You should be able to boot in recovery by doing "adb reboot recovery" but that NEVER worked for me ! (real pain in the..) So I found out that you can boot in recovery by pressing volume down + power until rumble ONLY IF THE DEVICE IS UNPLUGGED (otherwise it will boot in secure mode !)

- In TWRP : Install -> Magisk, straight forward, no errors.

4) Boot the firmware fully once.

5) Reboot in recovery (Power off then press Power and volume down in the same time, when it vibrate, release power), Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache.

- The installation instruction told you how to boot in recovery only now despite having to flash Magisk before... And forget to tell you to disconnect the device otherwise you can press Power and volume down for ever... kinda weird.

- In this part I had this issue : TWRP told me that he could not mount "/data" or something like that. I think it may be related to steps 4 "boot the firmware fully once" you may want to try skipping the step 4... Apart from the scary red error that did not gave me any issues for the end of the installation.

6) Flash The patch with the same model and build as the build you flashed with Newflasher.

- This step is kinda badly explained... I just installed ExistenZ last version the same way as magisk in the step 3.... But like for "Wiping Cache Data and Dalvik" (step 5) I had the same issue of red messages telling me TWRP could not open "/data" and others stuffs, but again, the installation seemed OK, I rebooted and voila ! ExistenZ was working fine with no issues !

That was two painful days, I tought that could help other peoples, and hope that the "/data" problem is not going to make trouble in the future. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] itsdundee:
and another thing, if you dont flash magisk, you always get bootloop! Magisk is MUST HAVE!

Anybody else having problems updating Swiftkey on this ROM? I keep getting 'Update failed' in the Play store when I try to update Swiftkey. I tried removing Swiftkey from the system partition to be able to install a fresh copy from the Playstore, but after uninstalling with Titanium Backup I couldn't decrypt my phone anymore because I did not get a keyboard after rebooting to enter my decryption password. :D

Everything else works great and I love what this ROM has done to my phone experience, I just wish I could update Swiftkey! :angel:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] daron9:
The answer is you need to download from Google Play SwiftKey beta version. And everything will be OK. It is a little bug. I have the same like you, but it is easy very to fix. No need that developer upgrade this awesome rom only this reason :) ?

Decryption of pie 47.2.a.10.107 and root with magisk

Hello everyone, for those who have version 47.2.A.10.107

I found the solution disabling the decryption,

on twrp go to "wipe" then "format data" write yes and enter (even if there are errors in red it should not be a problem), once the formatting is finished, restart in recovery again and flash the file "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10 .20.2019 "(to which I will post the link), then flashate magisk 20.1, then finally flash XZP_eXistenZ_Pie_v10.0.0_47.2.A.10.107 and restart.

i Want to talk to end users about installing particular [47.2.A.10.107] eXistenZ Pie | v10.0.0 | 16/10/19

I had quite some failed tries (10+) , all of them due to lack of my knowledge, i was used to flashtool and even if it supports 2017 devices u should not use it for flashing.

Tutorial and nothing here is from my brain those are simply peaces of others ideas put together in form that worked for me.

1. Backup your data on PC, it is simply a must, every file u will flash put on external SDCARD to avoid headache after possible reflashing.

2. Install latest FLASHTOOL and reboot PC into “Disable driver signature enforcement.” mode on win 10, then install all drivers from default location "C:\Flashtool\drivers"

3. Download ROM 47.2.A.10.107 for your region with Xperifirm ( you have it in flashtool )

4. Dowload NEWFLASHER and follow this guide to prepare and flash rom that u downloaded prior with xperifirm and prepare it for NEWFLASHER, DONT USE FLASHTOOL:

https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/

5. When u have flashed ROM dont turn on, "download minimal ADB", put twrp into minimal adb folder, put phone into fastboot mode "vol+ and conect cable - blue led"

start minimal adb and type: "fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFTWRP.img"

6. Disconnect cable and hold "Vol- and PWR button" after vibrate release power and vol-, then flash latest MAGISK.ZIP, reboot, make full setup, dont doo anything else, power down!

7. Hold "Vol- and PWR button" after vibrate release power and vol-, then go to wipe / advanced / and wipe data + cache + dalvik, ignore red errors,

then flash "XZP_eXistenZ_Pie_v9.0.0_47.2.A.10.107" and finaly reboot.

TIPS:

- when u download rom with xperifirm, make one copy of rom to whatever location on PC, open the copy, remove all "*.ta" files and other steps stated in link and then

copy all from that folder into newflasher, voiala ( if u did something wrong delete newflasher and simply download it again )

This should get your XZP to work properly.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
If your stock firmware ends in .107, v10 is the correct version. Find attached below a TWRP for G8141/G8142, and the latest stable magisk. Copy the v10 zip and magisk to your sd card.

If your bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP with fastboot using the command "fastboot flash recovery XZPAromaTWRP.img", without the "" marks. Unplug the phone from the computer after.

Boot to TWRP by holding power and volume down until a second or two after it vibrates, then release them both and wait.

In TWRP, select wipe, then swipe the slider at the bottom to perform a factory reset.

Go back to the twrp home page, press install and navigate to where you have copied the v10 zip/magisk.

Select the v10 zip, then add magisk as well, and flash them both and reboot.

The phone will reboot once after rebooting from TWRP, which is normal. Wait 5 minutes or less, and you should have eXistenZ installed.

Thank you very much, I did all the steps and it was installed without problems. I only have one doubt, it is normal that the navigation bar only appears the back and start button, since the multitasking button does not appear and when you apply a theme at the start of xperia if it appeared but cannot be pressed, there is some way to fix it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Its there somewhere (the option for old navbar),

Display settings i think. Also old themes dont work on pie properly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Habacuck:
I did not find the option, what I was observing multitasking is activated by sliding up but only works with the start of eXistenZ. In terms of the issues they no longer apply the same but with one that proves the part of the beginning is still applied (which was the part that mattered to me)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
Sorry, the navbar can be changed at settings/system/gestures - and turn off 'swipe up on home button' for the 3-button navigation.

Install the Xposed Manager App:
