rooting XZ2? (model H8216) - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Is it possible? I've unlocked bootloader but twrp doesn't seem to be supported, or am I just stupid? ? Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Seems that you use the wrong Fastboot drivers
Btw
Install April stock firmware first if you haven't done it

Try virtualbox first to test Linux
Maybe you start wanting it over Windows :silly:
I use Linux mint cinnamon 19

Use the application "virtualbox", enable USB pass through and install Linux.
There fastboot should work with your device.

Trying to update to latest magisk (19.1) and it just gives me a bootloop, not sure why.

Unlock Bootloader via Windows 8 64bit?

Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader using Windows 8 64bit?
My brother has been trying to do so with my One for a while and nothing seems to be working.
Could this be a Windows 8 compatibility issue?
Here you go...

Old story, I gave up finally. My team mate asked me to transfer her photos from her phone. The phone had a broker display. It was Huawei P9, if I recall... USB Mouse didnt work, no ADB, bootloader locked, no video Output.
can we flash it from stock recovery with boot-loader locked?
Anyone get this to work with Pie?
After flashing, the home screen never loads. The only way to recover is to format data.
Also, I assume this zip simply automates what is outlined in this thread (which fails the same)?

Where to get older FTF files?

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the older ftf files. I'm currently on android P, but the xperifix didn't carry over so I want to downgrade back to use the camera.
Thanks!

Try to unzip on your desktop.
It sounds like a problem with your file access rights.

Hi again, so I flashed the version you gave me, but I am still on version 9.0 pie.
My procedure was exactly the same as xperifirm. Creating the ftf file then flashing it via xperiflash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I use the newflasher.
And a downgrade without wipe of the userdata is impossible.

Hi, I have successfully downgraded to android 8. I reinstalled TWRP and DRMfixed. However, I still get the black screen in the camera. Everything seemed to have installed correctly. I guess I'm going to have to live with no preview screen?

Try to uninstall drivers through device manager, and then reinstall them manually... If you haven't already...
Suggesting someone to switch whole operating system just to connect phone to a PC is pretty dumb in my opinion... And to Linux non the less... You'd be better off switching to Mac OS... Tbh...

I don't know what caused the problem first place. It worked, and I rooted and had a lot of fun last summer.
Noticed it couple of months ago when I were bored and should root my H9436 again for fun.
Error code 43
Now my device won't charge at all.
Solution : my device is broken. ?
