The update to version 3.2 for XperiFIX has just been released. Users of the software are already waiting eagerly, as the new version includes the updated DRM patch for the XZ2 and XA2 series. The patch works for all listed devices, but for the “RP only” devices only in manual mode. If the current firmware version of a device does not yet appear in the devconfig, it can nevertheless be patched via the manual mode.
It should be noted, however, that there is currently no DRM patch for Android Pie! With the new firmware version (update to Pie) come some changes from Sony, which make the previous DRM patch incompatible. I have to invest a lot of time here again and find a way to crack the system again.
As I already wrote in the forum at XDA, I would like to warn again here publicly. Please do not use an old DRM patch (the files circulate on the net) for a new device like the XZ2! The modified system file is not compatible with the original, which means it could destroy the device. The explanation for this is relatively simple: The system file is responsible for writing to the Trim Area (TA). Since this file has changed with, for example, the firmware of the XZ2, it can not be ruled out that the behavior in relation to the TA has also changed. Which means that the units in the TA could have changed. Now, if the old system file writes into a wrong unit, it could lead to a brick (device destroyed irreversibly).
XperiFIX 3.2 includes an updated DRM patch method that can flexibly patch this system file. It should therefore work on all Oreo versions.
I am using XZ Premium. XperiFIX worked perfectly when I was on 12.270. Now that my cellphone tells me to update to 16.20, I wonder how I should do that? Is it possible for me to update to 16.20 through Sony Software Update, or do I have to flash the firmware manually? I am asking because I heard Flashtool will mess up the camera, but Newflash has backdoor security issues.
You can’t update through Sony (OTA) as soon as the bootloader is unlocked. You can use Xperifirm to download the latest firmware for your device and then Newflasher to flash it. Please make a backup of all your files before flashing the firmware, because it will wipe your data partition. After flashing the new firmware, you can use XperiFIX again to root and patch your device.
Very late reply, not sure if you’ll get it.
Once I use Newflasher to flash the new firmware and then use XperiFIX to root+patch; Can I then restore my personal data from a backup? (so I don’t have to reconfigure everything again like apps, shortcuts and preferences).
I would use apps like Titanium Backup to backup app data and some other files. Also backup your pics and other files on your PC. There are a lot of good tools for this. 🙂
Works perfect on XA2 with Magisk 16.7. Only thing thats not working is Magisk 17+
please confirm the DRM return with XperiFix 3.2 ,
XA2 dual sim H4113 device, FW 50.1.A.13.83, unlocked bootloader, Magisk v17.1
thank you
Please take a look at the product details. There is a list of all supported devices and firmware versions. If it’s not listed, it’s not officially supported.
I lost my XperiFIX license. I know the payment date and payment E-Mail.
A friend buyed it for me because i dont habe PayPal.
Can you help me?
Please open a ticket with the account/email address from your purchase. I will check this.
Working fine with my xz premium latest .20
And waiting the pie (9) fix for my xz2
Thank you
Any plans for supporting the xz3? I’d buy your patch day one.
xz premium Android 9.0 ultra-realistic mode is gone
There is actually no official support for Android 9. I have to check the firmware from scratch first. Cheers!
do u have root/drm fix solution sony xz3??? thanks!!
Actually there is no official support for XZ3. But maybe in future 🙂
my phone is XZ2 Compact flashed by newflasher v13 to H8324_Customized CE1_1313-3194_51.1.A.11.51_R8A
First, I installed TWRP for Oreo made by MartinX3.
Second, I used XperiFix 3.2.0.0 by your XDA post (uncheck “install TWRP”, choose Magisk zip, switch Partition mode to vendor, activate the checkbox a/b device).
Finally, DRMfix looks doesnt work ( camera still dark)
but, I couldnt find wrong something in the XperiLOG
How should i do next ? Please help 🙁
Hi there, please open a ticket to get support. 🙂 We will fix it for sure.

I also had that problem. Simply flash – as a workaroud for now – permissive.zip via Magisk and reboot. For me, it did the trick 😉
@nishiki7916
You can also try (without flashing the permissive.zip) what serajr wrote in post #1754 of Martin’s TWRP thread. At least, it worked for me!
Purchased to support! And waiting now on a fix for the XZ1 pie.
Thanks my friend! 🙂 Pie will take some time. Sony did a good job here. But I will try my best.
good luck
all here are waiting
media laggs and take long to load and settings lagg . album app. screenmirroring….ect…
I would happily pay more than $19 for an android 9.0 patch on the XZ1. That new clock placement in the notification bar is really getting on my nerves!
VINCE, there is a solution for your and my problem:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/How-can-I-remove-software-update-notification-icon/td-p/1292036#gref
“Goto Settings >Apps>App info>On that screen select ‘show system’ option from sub settings.. >Select Software Update > Press Force Stóp”
Me too… Maybe xperifix should patch(make disabled) this notification in the same process with DRM keys.
The Android Pie patch will take some time and it’s not sure if it will work. I have to start from scratch with Pie. But I will try my best. 🙂
Whats the issue with XZ1 Pie? The camera now works on unlocked bootloaders with no fix.
But some other features don’t work after unlocking the bootloader.
Hi my friend.
Waiting for android pie support, for Sony Xperia Xz2 Compact dual.

No, it’s impossible to relock the bootloader.

No, this software is for unlocked bootloader only. By the way… Android 9 isn’t supported by XperiFIX.
Is this working on xzp pie? I want to buy just confirming
I have been able to have working Android Pie on the Xperia XZP using build 47.2.A.10.107 I first used the Xperifix tool to flash the .20 build then I sourced a newer custom rom manually from Xperifirm.
No, actually not.

There is a field for discount codes on the checkout page. 🙂

If it’s not listed on the product page (supported firmwares), then not.
Waiting for a XZ1 Android 9.0 support 😉 good luck !
Thanks! But it’s a hard job. :/
I accidentally deleted the email that had my license for this amazing product. Is there any way I can get it back? I have proof of purchase.

Hello, can i root xperia Xz premium with build 47.2.a.6.30? Android 9
You can root your device, but there is actually no DRM patch by XperiFIX for Android 9.
Can you relock the bootloader with this
No. It’s impossible to relock the bootloader once it’s unlocked.
