About the project
Sony Stock Patcher is a minimal and easy transition from Sony's Stock ROM
(flashed directly from an FTF for example) to a modifiable ROM that can be modded as you like.
Built out of my evolutions of libbootimg for MultiROM to support Sony ELF bootimages,
a custom modified kernel based on Sony's copyleft with a minimal set of needed custom changes,
and an automated installation process to patch completely a Stock ROM,
this will allow you to use the Stock ROMs as you wish to.
Relevant features of Sony Stock Patcher
Using my Sony ELF 64bits port to libbootimg, Stock boot partition is automatically converted
Modified copyleft Stock kernel to support alterations and remove limitations
Patches the ramdisk to disable automatically Sony RIC security
Patches the fstab automatically for verity
Injects my init_sony project used on Sony custom ROM projects
Supports making the ROM usable as secondary MultiROM
List of changes made to the kernel
Disable Selinux trap security (allows to boot with stock ramdisk sepolicies)
Disable Device-Mapper verity (needed for example to patch system partitions)
Disable kernel modules forced validation (avoids failures on modules signature)
Disable coresight (unneeeded and irrelevant, just to avoid unsupported error logs)
Disable Sony RIC security (needed to use a recovery and alter /system, /data, ...)
Inline kernel modules compilation (to avoid kernel installation fragmentation)
Clearpad touchscreen updates for MultiROM UI
Minor kernel updates
Installation
Needed: Device has to be with an Unlocked Bootloader
Use Stock ROM or flash a clean FTF ROM from Nougat
Needs a working TWRP flashed into the FOTA partition (fastboot flash recovery...)
> Fully working TWRP builds : See below with downloads
Boot to TWRP (Power and Volume -)
Flash the relevant sony_stock_xz_patcher: n for 7.x
(Optional) Flash SuperSU by Chainfire if you want to have root access
Reboot to Android
Reasons to use this project ?
Unlocked Bootloader customizations allowed on Stock
Converts the bootimage to support systemless tools
Ability to root with tools like SuperSU
Retains the original Sony bootimage files
Minimal needed changes, no additional kernel mods

I've already tested this patcher and can confirm, it works like a charm :good:
My steps:
- Flashed the current 442 ftf via FlashTool (ejected the ext sd after poweroff, ofc), checked every checkbox in the wipe sector (don't know, if that's really neccessary).
- rebooted into system to check, if it boots fine, then power off again
- installed Adrian's current TWRP 3.1.0 via fastboot command (fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery>.img)
- boot into recovery (<power> + <vol-> together until one time vibration, then left <power>)
- flashing the provided patcher.zip via TWRP and reboot, then - after booting - choose reboot
- now wait until vibration and the purple led, then push <vol+> => now you have to be in TWRP :good:
- flash the SuperSU.zip, if you want root
- if you want also the drm fix:
Connect your device via usb and type:
# adb -d shell
# su
# dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/kernel.img
Then pull the kernel.img from /sdcard/kernel.img and go on with the unofficial rootkernel 5.23 @serajr I said yes to everything but SuperSU, TWRP and busybox (but test it by your own, it's not related to this thread). Btw, if you've managed to backup your ta before unlocking your bootloader, you can also use the PoC @munjeni for that (I unfortunately can't, because I don't have such a ta backup). But no mor ot here
I can confirm, it works like a charm - and it's like in mm times: you don't have to poweroff your device; just wait for the purple led and push <vol+> = enter TWRP :good::good::good:
Thank's @AdrianDC for your brilliant job :highfive:
You have just made the news!
@AdrianDC Congrats :good:
...
So it's works for both XZ (F8331 and F8332)?

Just try it and report back! Create a backup of your boot partition via TWRP before, of course
@AdrianDC
Thanks for your work
TWRP 3.10 works perfect on F8332 XZ Dual
I installed Stock Patcher on my patched kernel with PoC for load Kcal Module from here
after load kcal module got reboot and that module cant be loaded , any Help ?
@ AdrianDC
Thanks for your work

It's only possible with a custom kernel. On the other hand, it's really not neccessary, because battery drain and performance are really awesome as it is :good:

It is "possible" but I won't do it, the purpose is not to waste time creating a 'modded custom' kernel,
but to stay as close as possible to the official Stock kernel while providing a modifiable ROM / bootimage.

I disagree, the battery life on my XZ is TERRIBLE, recharging 2-3 times a day, to be fair though my day starts at like 4a and one Fridays ends at like 10p so meh lol... any recommendations for me?

I can't confirm @Announcement's statement. On my device it works very well; also the battery consumption is ok: I charge my device most of the time the 2nd day since the last charge, sometimes even on the 3rd day :good:
But it's a question of use, indeed!
Awesome work as always, Adrian!
The new patcher for the 7.1.1 fw (41.2.A.2.199) works flawlessly as expected! :good::good::good:
As mentioned by Klaus :good::
New release for Sony 41.2.A.2.199 release, Android 7.1.1.
There's only one little issue (only for me?) atm: When entering TWRP by pushing <vol+> while the purple led lights up, the display doesn't react. I've to turn off/on the display, then swipe to unlock the display. After doing that, it works as it should.
Regular TWRP 20170521: TWRP 3.1.1 release, including changes
to match 7.1.1 touchscreen init (to confirm for XZ) and Nougat decryption of course.
Regular TWRP 20170524: Re-release that avoids a touchscreen init race condition
on a specific variant of the device's touchscreen that prevented use without lock / unlock.
Made public the new release for Sony 41.2.A.2.223, Android 7.1.1.

Currently one of the issues with Magisk is that it doesn't support stock Sony kernels because according to @topjohnwu:
Currently Known Issues (v10.2):
Sony devices generally: Stock Sony boot images seems to use ELF kernel that is unpatchable, or some has two ramdisks (inner + outer).
If you know any addition information about Sony boot image modifications, please contact me

There have been some recent developments in the Sony forums and there is now a tool (RootKernel) for modifying the stock Sony kernel on most Sony devices (Z1-Z5, X, XZ, etc. Android 5.x - 7.x). This tool is able to disable dm-verity, disable Sony RIC, inject TWRP, inject root, and inject Xposed. This tool does not inject Magisk, nor do I believe that the tool should, I think it would be more beneficial to the community for Magisk to support Sony kernels.
With that said I am hoping that the information in this thread can serve to help add Sony support to Magisk. Source code for the Root Kernel tool and Sony boot.img can be found in the links below.

Additional Information: This is the FIRST ever released Z5 Compact custom AOSP ROM that is using the Stock kernel and blobs. What this means? Not much, exept for the stock like camera of cause, if that is something you care about
Now stop reading this post. Seriously. You are wasting your time. FLASH THIS AND TAKE PICTURES!
HUGE THANKS; to all the lineage and kitakami devs who have been working on this, and continue to work hard on this to get you (and me) the best rom that they can!
NOTE:This uses stock kernel and blobs - meaning NO RECOVERY. Please know how to use "fastboot boot boot.img" if you get stuck anywhere
NOTICE:
It has been really fun porting and Lineage and Carbonrom top the Z5C, and it has been amazing to see you guys (The community) try it out for yourselves and make your own builds. Due to my Z5C being broke I have passed it on to a recycling company - meaning I can no longer test or update builds. Please do feel free to link your own builds in the comments (As long as they do not breach the rules of course )
Thanks for the support this year - and I want to thank those who are keeping their own builds up to date!

Great work !
Finally we're able to detach from Sony's shackles, it's annoying to be limited by that proprietary crap (e.g. texfat module) in pushing the kernel or the ROM further
Not sure what wifi driver you're using and how you got it to work on suzuran but I had to fix it up + add some bits from the AOSP kernel source to make it work:

Thanks for the effort and build though.

Also , it says that xperia xz dual rom! can we use for xperia xz single sim too!
Anyway, I use m-rom 2.3.1 on my xperia xz f8331 but rom is for dual sim.
I delete ads in m-rom 2.3.1 then flashed on my f8331. it works well.
@Sjll:
Does this build support ExFat on External SDCards ? This was one of the main issues (for me) on your last build ...
Hello, is still necessary flash Stock 41.3.A.2.157 for F8331 before flashing this ROM ??
thanks for answer

Stock oreo FW is OK.
Hi, i just wanna report that after turning on the rom is really slow to detect the sim card and connect to the service, and sometimes light sensor just makes the screen dim for a second. Otherwise it is one of the best roms for the device.
Bugs & lags
1. Second sim not detected (but los 16 detects both sim with same base rom).
2. Top speaker not working on loud speak call (very low sound on loudspeaker).
3. Cannot reduce volume while call (slider moving in UI but not functioning).
4. Better battery compare to other custom roms but not as stock (same apps consuming more than from stock).
5. Takes long time to goto TWRP.

So both are good, as I understand it? Thank you.
Hi! Thank you for this ROM. My phone is alive again... It works way more flawlessly so far than the latest stock ROM.
Not sure if I miss something from camera and screen quality. What I kind of miss is sony music and album apps witch I actually enjoyed using..
The only con is that I cannot encrypt my phone and use TWRP and do flashing without a format (is there a workaround for that?)
Also when I have fingerprint activated the power button scans all the time for fingerprints even if the phone is sleeping, without having to press it first.. So it scans every time there is a skin contact, leading on too many attempts or accidentally turned on..
Best rom eva.
Though I had to use somewhat old gapps because when flashing the new ones the android/architecture version is reported mismatching.
Assuming the previous poster did try them and didn't have issues, I believe it was probably this to cause breakage (maybe it was a bad idea to ship the same custom recovery for both the Oreo and Pie roms?)
For the remainder this rom is rocking better than anything other (*touch wood*, I said the same about the SODP 15.1 version and it turned out crashy shortly after).
Fingerprint and also android auto works! This is a first ever, not just with AOSP roms but in general for the entire phone.
The only small defects are the the internal call speaker is pretty quiet and calls have to be answered from the notifications.
Sim detection could also be somewhat improved I guess (I get OP has a dual sim model, but there are no excuses not to ship the incredible universal patcher)
Thread closed at op's request.
Thank you for your contributions :highfive:

Current Stable Version: R1
Created 2021-05-10
Last Updated 2020-05-10
*** Be aware, there may be a need to wipe data if you desire to go back to stock kernel, my suggestion is to backup your stock BOOT partition and DATA before flashing. This way you can return to your original setup easily. It is unknown at this stage what data is causing an issue going back to stock. If you find it, be sure to share.
* You must have bootloader unlocked and rooted your device with Magisk before flashing this kernel. Magisk is essential for camera and wacom.
* Boot times are approx 60-75sec at the moment, itll sit on the yellow triangle splash for approx 60sec and the bootanimation for 5sec.
* When flashing this kernel, an AnyKernel helper module is installed. This is a Magisk Module that is essential for the operation of Camera and Wacom. Removal of this module while running this kernel will break camera and spen.
* Kernel zip labels have either a P or E in them, P=Fully Permissive, E=Enforcing (switchable)
To install
download and flash the kernel installer zip in TWRP or any custom recovery

Amazing to see some development, i thought this phone thread was gonna be dev dead
I am a little surprised myself.
Status update
I have found a couple of bugs I'm working on, #1 camera module only loads on permissive version of kernel, #2 the flash doesn't work, #3 random reboots maybe 4-5 times a day.
Working on having a stable R2 this week.
Edit: so it seems the hourly bootloop happens on stock kernel for me also. So it isn't an issue with this kernel. Though I do need to fix the flash
WETA Kernel R2
Upstreamed to 5.4.118
Fixed Torch/Flash

WETA Kernel R3
Starting from scratch with different source code. It seemed there were problems booting for most. The new test kernels have been successful.
This is a basic start, with the intention of upstreaming and testing along the way.
--->
WETA Kernel R4
Upstreamed to 5.4.119
* Testing was successful with the different source code kernel
* Remember you MUST have magisk installed Pryor to flashing this kernel, this kernel needs it's ak3-helper magisk module for camera operation.

I have used your Kernels in the past for other devices, really loved them. Was wondering if you plan to make a custom kernel for the s21 ultra Exynos in the future ?
Excuse my ignorance but please elaborate on "knox disabled"? I have unlocked bootloader/magisk and knox is already disabled as far as I know. Would this mod to the kernel allow me to use knox locked features that have been lost, eg biometric security for some apps? Thank you for your work, look forward to trying it out

Kernel based Knox ncm is disabled, it has nothing to do with your "Knox fuse" which is blown when your bootloader is unlocked.

I don't plan on building anything for devices I don't hold in my hand. Reliable testing is hard otherwise

Just a note regarding boot times, I can achieve a 35sec boot time, though in doing so it breaks double tap to wake, and fingerprints. I won't release a version with those broken items.

What is EAS?
Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) is an enhancement to Linux power management, placing CPU power control directly under the Linux scheduler. When enabled, EAS uses the task load and a CPU Energy Model to select the most efficient CPU to run on, taking advantage of power and performance of Arm big.LITTLE and Arm DynamIQ-based systems.

Version Information
Status: Stable
CHANGELOGS :
UPDATE (04-18-2022)
Rebuilt EAS version from Ground up. Imported Vox PowerHal for smooth UI without relying on HMP version of perfd in stock based vendor. All sort of optimizations for EAS was added. And of course, the final latest security patch for lineage 15.1 is there too. This might be my final ROM for this device as there's no reason to update for the public. No one's using this phone anymore lol.
UPDATE (04-14-2022)
Complete rebuild from source with my own commits to source of SJILL along with migration from squashfs vendor to ext4 to speed up boot and fix twrp oem mount.And also, the final latest security patch for lineage 15.1 is applied.
HMP VERSION :
This is an optimized version I created for this device. Give feedback if how's your experience using this version.
UPDATE (03-22-2022)
I have the OEM(vendor) image updated to fix the errors about the sched_boost error spam in logcat and time_daemon crashing making long uptime becoming unstable and requiring restart. Those 2 major concerns I have are fixed now. Flash it directly to the ROM if you are currently running it.
GPS might be unstable but you can use GPS fixer app from playstore (requires root) to try and optimize GPS data in the device.
INITIAL RELEASE (03-18-2022)
Initial release of EAS based kernel and some vendor partition modification.
Reserved #2

Sorry for a stupid question. It is necessary only 157 for dual? 192 isn't compatible?

I'm sorry but it's actually okay to have 192. I have the dual version too.
**Edited the OP now.
Is there are any custom ROM fo XZ with working GPS?
I have my GPS working though.
Well, I haven't.

I've looked into it and seems like there's some data missing, I updated the vendor image today and you can try flashing it directly to the device. And use GPS_Fixer app from playstore to set your geo to the nearest place you're in.

It's fair in my case, but I have another version dropping with much better SOT and smoother UI but I discontinued EAS. It's not worth it for me actually with it running with kernel 3.18 so I just tried to optimize HMP as much as I can
whats another version?
