Could someone provide me "Customized DE 47.2.A..8.24"? I can offer cloudstorage.
Or what is the difference between the Central Europe CE1 version?
I would like to upgrade without factory reset.

Or will the kernel for 47.2.A.10.45 be available soon?

hi guys, before I start to unlock the bootloader of my XZ1, can you confirm that by reloading an FTF image of an original rom, I also restore the DRM functions?
It worked like this on my old Z3, on xz1 I still have a lot of confusion about this operation.
Excuse the question, I really struggle to understand how DMRs work on this XZ1

Thanks

This is what i did:
XZ1 stock untouched until android 9 update.
After a bad pie xperiance:
-Bootloader unlocked (lost DRM keys)
-Flashed latest sony oreo firmware (47.1.A.16.20) with newflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426 thanks @munjeni
-Flashed TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3727602 thanks @modpunk
-Downloaded patch according with firmware version from post 566 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77626633&postcount=566 thanks @janjan
The patch works on sony stock kernel too, so flashing kernel/boot.img is optional and not needed to fix lost functionalities. I didn't.
In 2-Patching.zip there is a system dir with su.d inside it. There is no need for it. I think it could break Magisk systemless-ly job, so I deleted system from 2-Patching.zip.
-Flashed modified 2-Patching.zip with TWRP
-Downloaded Magisk v18.1 and Magisk Manager v7.0.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 thanks @topjohnwu
-Flashed Magisk-v18.1.zip with TWRP
-Magisk Manager didn't get installed so I had to manually install MagiskManager-v7.0.0.apk
-The patch only works if selinux is set permissive at boot time. After boot it can be restored to enforced.
For this reason is needed 4-kernel_permissive.zip; this file is the same as magisk-permissive-script_v1.2.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-selinux-permissive-script-t3577549 thanks @Jman420
-Flashed permissive.zip with TWRP and check it is in Magisk Manager modules tab.
-Done. DRM fixed and rooted.
-Now the phone must always boot in permissive mode to let the patch work as expected. But once the phone has booted selinux can be set again to enforced. Decide by yourself after reading this https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/discussion-root-selinux-risks-t3607295 thanks again @Jman420
-To set selinux to enforced mode after boot:
in a terminal app or adb shell

-To check selinux status

-Alright. CKB OK, WIDEVINE OK, camera working, x-reality working.

(Magisk v19 and onwards will no longer support old format modules)

is there any problem to DRM? how about the camera quality as compare to locked bootloader

The only problem occurring to me is that some apps like Google Pay and banking apps are complaining about an unsafe device. This should be solved by the kernel.
The camera was only affected in previous versions.
For me, a very nice thing to have is the kernel-based wireguard…

Therefore, I also hope that @janjan will have the time to compile a new kernel ;)

Just so you know, this kernel is no longer necessary unless you're still in Oreo or a very old firmware. See for yourself, go back many pages.

Not necessary for a working camera, but all my banking apps, GPay, Payback Pay etc are not working without it.

Btw I am still on 47.2.A.4.45 but this will probably not change in future versions?

And also, kernel-based Wireguard was pretty cool…

Banking apps have been working fine here way before .45 release. If you're flashing via newsflasher, the only thing I'd avoid is userdata.sin, if you want to save your data.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you might as well flash the latest firmware.

Which region are these apps been used in by the way?

I can only say that I am in Germany and Google Pay, Payback Pay, two bankingapps and one TAN-app for banking are not working because the detect an unsafe / unlocked / rooted device. Magisk Hide does not help.

I did the last upgrade via newflasher without userdata.sin

Now I am hesitating, because the kernel by janjan, as it was released, was not the latest available and I dont want to downgrade afterwards.

    I am sharing my kernel/boot.img, which is build from Sony Open Source/Qualcomm/ and android source (Very close to Stock KERNEL). Designed to keep balance security/ with high Performance and battery life.​

I am not responsible for any damage, broken or boot looping.
    Please read the instructions and notes before flashing anything. Don't ask me if you don't read the instructions.​
    Please respect and try to help each other. You may face sometimes that I cannot answer your questions/or answer your questions a bit later. I am busy with my work and don't have enough time to read and answer all your questions at the same time.
