v6.0.0 v2 Aroma Installer .25 Animation does not support Japanese.
It has been modified, im not sure why its not appearing, does it appear if you select another language? English for example....

What twrp do you use? The black and green twrp doesnt like my aroma zip, try the other twrp linked in the second post.

Changing the language to English did not change.
Because I used "The black and green twrp", when I used # 2 Post's TWRP, it worked correctly.

@Hakkinen3K I just installed single sim shoey63, permissive and magisk, all good.
Dual sim shoey63, permissive and magisk, all good. One freeze/bootloop as normal after each magisk install.
Not quite sure whats going on for you.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader wth 10.45 firmware on your phone?
Firstly, this is a addon for existenz, not a rom.

Ok, so you need to unlock your bootloader,upgrade your firmware to 10.45 (for latest rom) and install twrp. Google 'unlock xperia bootloader' if you are not sure.

Flash the patch from here:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz...om-existenz-pie-v3-5-0-beta-31-01-19-t3895452

Then once you have the rom setup, you can come back here and download the addon.
Now, how can i upgrade to 10.45? I have already unlocked my bootloader.

Sorry mate, i was a bit short on time earlier, here is the xperifirm thread link

https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

And here is the newflasher thread

https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

Unzip the newflasher files to the folder where your .45 firmware was downloaded to, turn the phone off and put it in flash mode, (volume down and plug in the cable, green light) and run newflasher.
Press 'n' and enter when asked both times and it should take about 5 to 10 minutes to do its thing.

Once that is done, you need to unplug the phone, and boot it into fastboot (volume up and plug the cable in, blue light), then flash the twrp in the first or second post here, eg: 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' from a cmd/powershell window in the same folder as the recovery, with twrp.img being renamed to whatever your downloaded twrp is called.

After flashing twrp, you need to unplug the phone, and boot to recovery. Hold power and volume down, wait for it to vibrate then release them both. Once it loads past the initial twrp screen, tick the box and swipe right.

(to flash existenz)

Press the wipe button, and swipe right again down the bottom to do a factory reset.
Once that is done, dont reboot, go back and install existenz version 6.1.0 from the thread i pointed to earlier today, flash magisk 18.1 and reboot. If it asks to install twrp app, untick the boxes and press do not install.

Once the setup is all done and you have played around with the ROM a bit, you can come back and flash this add-on, but YOU DONT HAVE TO!! This is just a few additional things, its not needed to use the rom/patch at all.

I get stuck with an error 'no usb device with vid pid' in newflasher
I followed all the instructions in this thread: https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01...-install-new-firmware-for-xperia-xz1-and-more

Ok, sounds like a driver issue. Or directory related. Do you definitely have the newflasher files intalled in the folder with all the .sin files?

Other wise, do you have flashtool installed?
If yes, navigate to c: flashtool/drivers folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe and select flashmode drivers and install them. Then try newflasher (v13 is the latest/last)
Oh i forgot to install the flashtool-drivers. I tick and install fastboot and flashmode and it continue the flashing process. Thanks for reminding me. Now what is next then?

My build number now is 47.2.A.10.45
Where can i download twrp recovery for my device?
Do i need to root my device before flashing the twrp?

You can download a stock twrp from twrp.me and search for your device. Or you need to flash the twrp from here if you want to use the aroma mod.

Once twrp is installed, follow the steps above :good:.

No you dont need to root before instling twrp
