Sorry I have old xperia 10 and I can't help, what I know about "your device is corrupt..." mean rolback protection cause that. The only way to bypass that is see post 4 !

Thanks for the fast response I'm gonna try that. Is there a drm fix for fw v58?

You need to ask somebody who have Xperia 5 II. I'm not in android development for 5 years and I can't help with that

Don't worry, the drm keys arent back after the bootloader lock but image processing is working fine.
So I did all the procedure and my phone is back. Thank You <3

You need to patch your boot.img with magisk and fastboot it then you have root again.

Xz1 do not have bootloader lock feature as like my xperia 10 also don't, you can't lock bootader if you have unlocked it

Thank you for the info, I will not waste my time thanks to you! BTW I sold the phone.

hi @munjeni please guide me.
I have an Xperia 5 II XQ-AS52 (europe) firmware 58.2.A.10.126
Sadly I flashed japanese firmware XQ-AS42 v58.2.A.10.163 thinking it was a better one than the older europe release.
The problem is I can't go back to the euro firmware because if I flash it my phone go in a loop and says " your device is corrupt it cant be trusted and will not boot"
If I boot the japanese firmware my phone reads both sim cards but none of them have signal. I have tried flashing older firmwares but the problem persist and tried to fix it with xperia companion but it says "temporary device incompatibility" and shows me my phone info. Even if I flashed an older android version it stills shows the japanese one.
This is what Companion says:

Temporary device incompatibility detected​

Could not perform the selected operation at this time. Please try again later.
UEGetPhoneInfoARBHigh
XQ-AS52 3530 43040143 58.2.A.10.163
2.18.6.0 / Windows 10 Home 64 bit / Win64 / US / /

Please help me.

Try to copy partition folder from japanese firmware to the europe one and do flashing again. I met this issue on Xperia 5 and solved it by this way (but just on android 10, it doesn't seem to work on android 11).

@Pandemic Is there any temp root exploit for Kirin ??

@Pandemic Is there any temp root exploit for Kirin ??

Dunno bro, i just patch my boot.img with magisk 25.2 and fastboot it and then i have root on my Xperia 1 iii with A13.

Log is incomplete and I have no idea about what is at the start of log! You should try USB2.0 port insted of USB3.X, also check for dust inside your phone usb port, also check usb cable, also try another usb cable... etc

Tried this tool to flash a stock ROM to an Xperia 10 Plus I4293 and it doesn't do anything. I put the exe into the same folder as the firmware files I downloaded with xperifirm, installed the flash driver, put the device in flash mode, started the program and then answered all the questions in the command prompt. In literally 2 seconds it claims the flash is complete and when I reboot the phone, nothing has changed and the custom ROM is still installed.

Any idea what's going on?

Also type Y when ask wipe usedata ? And tell us more info please what you did and which options you choose in Newflasher.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried it again using another machine with the folder containing the stock rom files directly on the desktop and it worked great. Not sure if the directory had anything to do with the issue but that resolved it for me since the Sony Mobile Flasher kept getting stuck at "device connected in flashmode"

Cheers.

New version does support 5 ii A002SO? because its not working on my device as it starts looping on sony logo screen

 

[munjeni]

Your device is supported but search about rollback protection to get idea!

 

[Rindel]

Figured out, thanks!
