Root xz2 compact?
- Thread starter mark788

As far as I'm aware, it's not yet possible without losing DRM. You lose DRM, no more access to Sony apps including camera.
It's currently a case of hurry up and wait until someone figures it out

@mark788 no idea. I'm not a dev so don't understand all the intricacies in it. Seems like there aren't many, if any, devs using this phone so we may never be able to properly root or flash this phone. Sony have released the AOSP code but that still needs dev input.
@deep66it pretty sure you're stuck now. Once the DRM keys are broken, there isn't a way to restore them at present. Hopefully someone else can chime in and correct me.

Hi,
Unfortunately you had to reed the forum before unlocking the bootloader. The camera broken question was approached... Loss of drm keys and TA partition is a known problem about Sony phones.
Now you have to wait that someone find a drm fix to use your camera again.
Otherwise you can try to install AOSP build if you are motivated : https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/
I will be more optimistic than whiteduck89 about this phone. Xz2 Compact is recognized as a good phone and it will take place like the Z3 Compact in the smartphone world (Z5 Compact get drm fix, TA partition restoration, LineageOs,... and it was not so brilliant).
Sure we have to wait 6 month or one year until this all will be done.

Hello, excuse me for my English, please let me know:
with AOSP (or better) with GitHub, today, I solve the problem of the camera and the root of this my unlocked xz2 compact ???
Why so much time for a custom ROM? And also, any safe way to root? To me it's important for backup and many other things.
Regarding root only, as long as you unlock the bootloader of your device (agreeing to the terms of sony): do this, and you're done!
Ofc not, you'll get root only! Root itself won't fix unlocking bootloader related issues, but maybe drmfix!!
you can ask but no-one can reply your question of course.. don't have the crystal ball with me atm
