I am on Slot A and i do not have vbmeta.img. Will look into the dm-verity thing. Thanks ---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ---------- Found a workaround. Flashing the naked .img files manually via fastboot works.

Hello SuperR I managed to modify updater-script so the flash process runs without visible errors (red text in twrp). But the next problem is a boot loop after flashing the rom with twrp. recovery log says: xa2 Installer LJofV Checking config ... xa2 Installer LJofV Checking config ...

Hello SuperR, I have just made a PIE rom for my Xperia XA 2 Ultra, but got problems flashing it with twrp recovery.log says Checking config ... about to run program [/tmp/install/bin/configure.sh] with 1 args sh: missing ] /tmp/install/bin/configure.sh: line 25: _a: not found script aborted...

Yes, you are right. My personal guess would be, they just bump up the security patch level and thats it. But its nice to have the latest numbers in "About Phone", although its mostly psychological :D

Hope dies last....

Have anybody installed this? Does it still breaks Xposed? What are the changes to previous firmware?

I guess its model-specific, for h3213 there is a 4.76, for other models maybe not.

Nope. Sony do not allow re-locking bootloader. The black screen is in the kernel. You can try build your own kernel from sources with Sony Open Devices Program, but even then i am not sure you can remove the black screen.

On this phone it is not possible.

You are welcome!:)

I personally have FlashTool installed on my PC. It brings the possibility to install Sony-specific USB drivers (flashtool/drivers). Or you can try Official Sony Drivers (2. Install the device drivers and platform tools), though never used these

You can use Newflasher here on XDA. Download it, unpack to a new directory, copy all firmware files and the boot directory to this directory, connect your phone in Download Mode and run Newflasher as admin. Answer "n" two times and wait a bit...

To be honest, i do not know the difference. Maybe some of the more experienced users can tell you.

Just checked Android File Host, there are only older firmwares below 5.59. XperiFirm have only one 5.59 - Commercial and Journalists. You can use this one.
