Instructions for unlocking the bootloader

After unlocking the bootloader, the inscription that it is unlocked cannot be removed!When unlocking the bootloader, DRM-keys are permanently deleted, without which some software features will not work, such as the standard camera program, third-party software will work.

TWRP Recovery and DRM fix

Only for unlocked bootloader. TWRP is stitched into the FOTAKernel section. It downloads software updates downloaded "over the air." After unlocking the bootloader, this section is not needed and we use it as Recovery.
TWRP Recovery is an unofficial Recovery that is released for most Android devices. It has much more features than native Recovery, which is not available to Sony at all. Allows you to install unofficial firmware, easy to install patches and patches in the format of zip-files, create a backup of the firmware and user data, reset to factory settings (wipe data / factory reset), clear the cache (cache), dalwick cache (Dalvik-cache ), much more. It has a built-in file manager.
Comment.Android encrypts user data in the data section. It changes with each Security Update, in English called security patch level. In order for the backup / restore function to work in TWRP recovery when updating the firmware, it is necessary to update and recovery. TWRP for the current security level supports all previous ones.
1. Download the archive with ADB and fastboot to your computertools_r27.0.1-windows.zipand extract its contents to the adb folder in the root of drive C, you should have the followingscreenshot
2. Download the version of TWRP Recovery to your computertwrp-3.2.3-0-lilac-1.img(29.47 MB)
. Place the image file in the folder C: \ adb
3. Turn off the smartphone
4. On the smartphone, hold down the volume up button and connect it to the computer with a USB cable. The smartphone will boot into Fastboot mode.

How to open TWRP Recovery?After flashing the custom Recovery, you can get into it from the switched off smartphone by holding the power button and lowering the volume: after a single vibration, release the power button, after the blue background appears, release the volume button.

Installation instructions for zip via TWRP Recovery- Copy the necessary zip-file to the built-in smartphone drive or memory card, open TWRP, go to the Install menu in the menu, open the file manager, select the file you need and click Install Zip. In this file manager, using the Select Storage button, you can switch between a memory card (sdcard) and a built-in storage device (Internal Storage).

DRM fix installation instructions- install the following zip using TWRP Recovery1-drmpatch.zip. This patch restores the performance of programs that have lost their functionality after unlocking the bootloader, i.e. programs that depend on DRM keys, for example, a native camera.
Instructionfor installing TWRP recovery, DRM fix, getting root access with MAGISK and installing a modified kernel with disabled Sony Ric protection

Magisk - The Universal Systemless Interface

ThemeMagiskonsavagemessiahzine.com
If you already have Magisk installed with MagiskSU root
Install / update Magisk Manager: MagiskManager.apk
Install / update Magisk from Magisk Manager, restart the device.

If you have some other root, while there is no root or Magisk Manager cannot be updated from Magisk Manager
Get rid of a third-party root, if there is one (ask questions about this in the theme of this root or in the theme of the firmware of your device). If you have SuperSU, the easiest way is to flash the archive with the delete script.
Restore the stock kernel (reinstalling the kernel itself or reinstalling the entire firmware cleanly - your choice). Ask questions about this in the theme of the firmware of your device.
If the old Magisk is already installed - delete it by flashing the uninstaller Magisk-uninstaller into the recovery or FlashFire After flashing the uninstaller, it is advisable to make a wipe cache and dalwick cache.
Flash in archive or FlashFire archive with Magisk: Magisk
Install Magisk Manager: MagiskManager

Uninstall magisk
Flash or FlashFire Uninstaller Magisk-uninstaller
After the uninstaller firmware, it is advisable to make a wipe cache and dalwick cache.
If your recovery curve and uninstaller did not help, restore the stock kernel and manually delete /data/magisk.img, / cache / magisk, / data / busybox.
NB! Magisk makes a backup of the kernel in / data / stock_boot_ before performing the patching<sha1>.img.gz, so if you have problems, you can always manually unpack the backup, flash the kernel in TWRP and so bring the device back to life.

GeneralGrant,
Did Flashtool learn how to sew new phones? : blush:

[Generalgrant]

axelrock
Do not know. But is able to collect. Someday learn, I hope.
And then the theme of the firmware without the firmware itself. Disorder.

[VOVAN_L300]

And explain to me somebody, what is the salt of the actions - I assembled one firmware, I added a second one to my cap.
How does this firmware differ from the one in XperiFirm and how to flash it?

[axelrock]

VOVAN_L300,
in this case, shob bulo
so that someday you can try to roll back if flashtool can
and in XperiaFirm is always up to date - a new one will be released, the old one will not be found

[VOVAN_L300]

Axelrock @ 12.11.17, 01:10

there will be a new, the old will not find

I just noticed: resent:
and where now to get the old one, the one that is 47.1.A.2.281_R9B? : scratch_one-s_head:
only R (1,2,3,4) B remained in XperiFirm

[axelrock]

VOVAN_L300,
either on the internet or anywhere else
and considering that while (as far as I understood), the firmware does not need repacked files, then there is little sense from .ftf and you need to search (or yourself) to collect the source code

[VOVAN_L300]

Axelrock @ 12.11.17, 01:23

collect source

in XperiFirm source?

[TexHuk 3]

VOVAN_L300 @ 12.11.17, 3:54

in XperiFirm source?

Yes, source files are in the Downloads folder.
Path: User-. flashTool-firmwares-downloads

VOVAN_L300 @ 12.11.17, 01:54

in XperiFirm source?

Yeah, rude somehow ..)

47.1.A.2.281_R9B

By the end of the day lay out.Work work... -_-

I tried to flash it from docomo - the utility is naughty. Unsuccessfully.

And then the theme of the firmware without the firmware itself. Disorder.

There are firmware. They just are not a separate file.Xperifirmfrom the cap immediately downloads the desired firmware

VOVAN_L300 @ 12.11.17, 01:06

How does this firmware differ from the one in XperiFirm

Nothing. Only the firmware is different. Well, most likely the flashlight will not be able to flash our device.

[Generalgrant]

Semyon @ 12.11.17, 17:40

The USB flash drive will not be able to flash our device.

I hopeuntilcan not.

Not everyone. Updates are not distributed to everyone at once, but "deployed" gradually. The last update I personally came already on2 weekslater than the very first to get it on the forum. And during these 2 weeks I went into the settings and clicked on checking for updates, the system kept responding that there were no new versions.

[maksim-kw]

SLA8 @ 11.17.17, 7:10

Not everyone

Yes, all because you have a region of firmware that is unclear what, for which there is simply no real update. Either wait for the update further, or sew the CIS region RU-UA-KZ-BY firmware and get all the updates for this region in the future.
