So they waited. Firmware 52.0.A 3.202 for H8296 HK has been released. They heard requests ;-) I hope I did not write to them about a new thing. Or because of the announcement of new models, they decided to make a present :-D

[DennisDD]

Guys, but I didn’t understand something funny, in general, after the purchase, on the very first day, I rolled our newflasher firmware onto my Asian exactly according to the instructions. Today I tried to make a recovery through a companion, but it was not there, it gives an error. Tried it differently. Does he really determine that the firmware for another region has been forcibly installed and therefore refuses to restore it? I did not notice such a joke before, the recovery worked without questions, at least it worked on XZ1.

gives an error message

Yes, the model itself is sewn deep, so that the companion can only restore the original firmware in the region.

Wheeze when calling what to do?

[Sonycat]

Update next, the new version of the camera ....

[spiridon97]

Guys, when flashing through newflasher, I lost the DRM keys (the old instruction). How is it possible to restore them? Any way needed. Even with unlocking the bootloader.

spiridon97, Only with your copy, for each device are individual. Here is an example of my own, flashing a couple of times to different regions, the latest firmware. Now caste, gestures installed using mod. Your camera is not working? Custom? XZ2 Compact Firmware has a story.

4Serg13, Everything is working. It just seems that the noise reduction in the camera does not work due to the lack of keys. There is an official firmware, the bootloader is locked, there is no root. It is very disappointing that the updated instruction appeared late, due to which I lost my keys. Restore the same pictures and files on flash drives. Maybe maybe on the phone, do it?

[-tonio-]

And how to understand if I have the keys or flew off? I made a European from Chinese, now it's interesting.

[Aivengo910]

spiridon97,
-tonio-,
The first option: in the caller * # * # 7378423 # * # * ->Servise info ->Security and compare the result with the screenshot provided by 4Serg13. I also have one of the keys missing from the old manual 8296 (Key Provision daemon), but this key doesn’t seem to affect anything. But the 3 lines above are the keys. If I'm not mistaken, of course. It would be good to answer users who did not change the phone)
The second option: download a third-party camera in which there is no noise and compare the photo from it and from the drain. According to my feelings, for example, Camera MX has no noise.

[spiridon97]

Aivengo910, what I noticed does not work yet Xperia backup without keys.

[Aivengo910]

spiridon97,
Are you talking about "Backup and Restore Xperia"? In my case it works, I specially checked it just now.
There seems to be still breaking SteadyShot and loading covers in the stock player. Check these two items and look at the service menu (the code in the call).

[raptop]

As it will be known that in the new update, please pliz) and then update constantly hell knows what's true

[spiridon97]

Aivengo910, Steadyshot and covers work. Same as above.

Hello everyone, I’m watching so many people are trying to keep their drm keys when unlocking, but what’s the point of them other than Sony services and a guarantee?

[ewertt]

Ts sunrise
It seems that it is important for many to preserve the stock camera with its capabilities, and for others, the branded video and audio enhancements are important. And the principle always operates - if something is, then it will not be superfluous. I am more interested in something else - these are the real considerations that Sony is guided by, applying such a policy - with one hand it gives the key to unlock the bootloader, and the other immediately breaks its programs and services.

[Rembo1234567]

DRM help restore (I can, in principle, but the recovery is necessary. Where can I get it (?

[qwerta12]

People who can drop the media folder from this device, with me +, you need as quickly as possible ... please!)
