[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
ODIN? Is not that for Samsung? Not working with HTC.

But flashing a different ROM will solve your issue.

Point 3 is correct.

Though i don't think that official firmware for a different region can be flashed without modifying a couple of things in the phone. AFAIK you need S-OFF because of the CID and change it to a different one than current or to SuperCID.

In my opinion it's better to unlock the phone, flash custom recovery and flash a stock custom ROM (official).

I think WWE ROMs have Thai (see screenshot), if I'm correct.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcsuser:
Everytime i power on my z1 it flicks..

Is this normal or something is broken?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
By flashing this you'll get the ringtone/notifications coming from both speakers when somebody calls you, stereo speakers in-call if you switch to the loudspeaker and you will also get a slight headphones boost.

Let me know if you want to modify something else with the sound output on the Z2. :)

As always - proceed at your own risk.

This will boost EVERY OUTPUT on your Z2! Stereo speakers everywhere! 1.5 for .167 ONLY

Now this is a mod we all need.

Wondering if both speakers are utilized while talking over the speakerphone? Currently it uses a single speaker.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Teknohtc:
Stupid question, do i have to be rooted to use this mod?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pesetio:
Yes

You have to be rooted to use recovery

Thanks for the mod, I will try it out when I get home
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Teknohtc:
well then that sucks lol my POS carrier locked my BL which is bs......

Yeah that really sucks

Maybe you can try to sell it, and buy another one outright.

Nicely done man! Really appreciating it. Any chance that you could increase the general speaker output volume / quality?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

+1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
will do :)

Nope, I'll put up next version with the boosted speaker.

You mean if you turn on the loudspeaker during a call? It shouldn't be hard. Which speaker is playing now if you're on loudspeaker during a call? Top or bottom?

Pesetio - thanks for the heads-up. I'll add that too!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nreuge:
Great!! :)

Could you share the mod without headphone boost? For us user of Doomkernel, we can already do this at a kernel level (but not yet speaker boost).

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Done. Please test in-call loudspeaker (hands-free etc.) It should play your other calling party from both speakers now. :)

Will test ASAP.

And, i tested the mod with voicecall loudspeaker, and now it`s on both speakers! Awesome! Really awesome! Thank you 1000 times!!

This mod is without any boost ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Thank you guys for your words. :)

First version is with headphones boost, second one without.

I'll get another version as I get some free time today with both boost everything and boost nothing. :)

There's no stock recovery. You can just extract the zip and move mixer_paths.xml from the zip to /system/etc - correct the permissions and it works just fine.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Xupack:
Thanks for you prompt response. Do you mind sharing the correct permissions? Also, does version 1.2 work with 402?

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

I can confirm that v1.2 of the mod works perfectly with 402. The headphone sound is a bit too loud but you can always knock it down a little bit. Thanks olokos!

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

I hope bluetooth boost comes soon. The sound is extremely good. Specially with Poweramp
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
No problem, have you also tested whether in-call sound works fine?

Check the first post. You can either choose the mod with or without boost.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mattdufrene:
I'm still not getting in call volume (without headphone boost). The speaker mod does work though.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vdanh:
Hi olokos,

Will the speaker boost version release soon :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chrisvuong:
In-call bug still there. I dialed a number and i cannot hear my friend voice, he can! Revert back to 1.0 and problem gone!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Jesus, I've got literally no idea why is this happening as this is the file straight from .438 firmware and I haven't even touched the earpiece at all :/
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mattdufrene:
Well I'm still on .402 firmware so maybe something changed? Also, I downloaded the zip with the headphone boost and there appears to be sound with that one but not the one that's without the boost.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
are you talking about 1.2?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mattdufrene:
Yes. Version 1.2 for both
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
That's weird, but thank you for that report. You really helped me. I don't own the Z2 (although I'd love to switch for my Z1), so I can't test it by myself.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mattdufrene:
No problem at all. Let me know if you need to test another one.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] idumbakumar:
for me 1.2 version without headset boost works without any problems.. i am still on 1.2 version. and my firmware is .402
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Now I'm lost. For some 1.2 works great and for some it doesn't. What the hell is going on? :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mathieulh:
1.2 without headphone boost didn't work for me on 402, no sound while calling.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wencel:
I'm on german 402 FW , rooted of course, and this Patch caused issues when calling - the internal speaker is silent, the called party can hear me well but I do not hear the other party. This is at 1.1 both versions, so I changed back to 1.0 and this works fine, after applying the patch 1.0 I can hear everybody during the call. So for me 1.1 is broken somehow, and I do not see on the 1st page any links to 1.2, is that fixing the issues? where can I download/test it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mattdufrene:
Version 1.0 without headphone boost is working perfectly for me. Thanks for putting that one back up! The one with the headphone boost was giving me weird crackling and static sounds (especially on higher end headphones and when trying to play through my cars stereo).

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ipmanwck:
Reading through this mod seems unstable for many people. Is that the case and are many people using it with no issues at all.?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chrisvuong:
...Or it depends on what firmware people are in? Maybe 1.2 works with .438? Mine 1.0 works perfect with .438 and .430 as well. Havent tried 1.2 yet, no link available :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
1.0 is 100% stable. No idea why there are issues when I'm trying to make a new version so I'll just leave it as it is until a new fw gets released.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
That is not true. A ton of people are having the problem where they cant hear the caller after using 1.0
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
WHAT

I really have no idea what's going on then. Do you also have this problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ipmanwck:
Thanks for letting me know. Is the boost in speaker significant enough to warrent rooting I wonder. Has anyone done a comparison video yet.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
1.0 and 1.1 both gave me issues with hearing the caller. 1.2 seems to be working fine so far!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ipmanwck:
Ah I see. I will hold off for for a stable release.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] :
I would give 1.2 a try and see if it works. Worst case scenario, you can revert back to the original very easily.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ipmanwck:
When I see a stable release I will definitely flash this mod.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] power323f:

i installed version 1.2 without headphone and i could't hear the other person in a calling.

i installed version 1.0 and its working without problems now.

so I flashed this on my rooted z2 and i could tell nothing difference from the stock to the modded one, what's the changes? lol :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Then 1.2 is only for people that have trouble with 1.0 or there are significant change?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Depends on what have you flashed. You can either flash without boost which just uses both speakers on every single audio output (like loudspeaker in-call/notifications/incoming calls or with boost which really increases the headphones volume output.

Its based on .438 firmware. From what I can tell just by looking at this file it brings support for those noise cancellation headphones and might improve calls via LTE.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] paullu:
Hi thank for the work. I flashed without headphone 1.2

Then I tested incoming ringing speaker only one ring
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
They MIGHT produce more volume, but I haven't got myself to work on that after the .438 FW update yet.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Please try to explain it better. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] idumbakumar:
we are seriously expecting the loudspeaker volume boost... we are checking this thread for this every day...

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION]

i just tried to test 1.0 version against FW .402

i observed high levels of hissing noise in boost version..

at lower volumes (around 10%) the sound quality is terrible. and the hissing noise is present at all volume levels.

without boost version is just fine. i not using boosted version at the moment because of the noise.

i am expecting boosted version for loud speakers.i am here to test it..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Try pushing this file to /system/etc and get somebody to call you. The speaker should be louder when somebody calls you.

https://mega.co.nz/#!CBVHnb5b!ZPrgjUoAb9_ZmCi8Z9XOhbz2xmSylKZyebRvABJj0gs

Can someonetest this file?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
The noise might be caused by that the volume is boosted so much that the dsp might not be able to handle it. What's weird is that it works perfectly fine with the same level of boost in the Z1.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SGT John Doe:
If don't like this mod and want to remove it. How do i do that?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] idumbakumar:
pls check the first post. stock backup is attached

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION]

the noise is dominantly present in the very lower volume as well. the audio quality terribly bad.. the sound breaks

If you want a volume boost then download Viper4Android. Install the app (I choose superior audio). In the settings, change the UI to expert. In the phone speaker tab, enable Extra Loud, and set the max gain to 5x-8x. I also changed my max output to -1.0dB and set the effect strength to Moderate.

You can download Viper here:

v1.2 (438) sounds ALOT better than v1.0 (402). Thanks mate! :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] twistedddx:
1.0 stereo has numerous changes that are not in 1.0 stock. There is one sony typo fixed but there is several other modifications that are not simply about turning on both speakers.

1.2 stereo looks simple enough it does not bypass dsp like 1.0 not that the setting seems to do much. Eg it does not fix the no voicecall audio on 438 rom.

438 has extra files in /system/etc/tfa98xx regarding in voicecallearpice_top(sic)

Deleting those extra files also does not fix the no audio. There is also different tunings of the top speaker in eq files in the same folder when compared to older roms.

1.0 vs 1.2 is virtually the same thing. I doubt there would be any audible differences or even differences in compatibility.

I tried a many things myself and compared numerous files between 402 to 438 rom. Nothing jumps out to what the problem is.

The phone dialler actually hangs and often crashes the phone when output is changed from bottom to both speakers. I assume something in the roms audio engine has changed, the both setting causes the audio engine to freak out leading to no audio, hangs and handset resets.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SGT John Doe:
This did not work out werry well.

Flashed The mod with boost, later on i noticed that i could not hear anything from The speaker when i was talking to someone over The Phone.

Now i have a Phone that i can't call or answer with
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] twistedddx:
Wipe it and flash stock with flashtool?

I got my phone in to a state where calls were very loud but distorted. I believe if you turn the volume up in these config files, it is saved like that and you must turn it down via these config files to "correct" the volume. I couldn't work out what I did to the volume in particular so had to wipe the phone.

It's not that it's hard, it's just that it's XDA. People guide you in the right direction here. But most will not hold your hand. I don't mean to sound harsh or anything, but I would have given you the same advice. Nobody wants to be liable for anything if something goes or you brick your phone. So they lead you in the right direction so you can research it, and make an informed decision on what to do.

Again sorry if it sounds harsh, I'm just use to that having been on xda for years now.

The very first post in this thread answers your question of which version to flash. It is your choice on if you want the headphone boost or not. I was not trying to be mean, but your question was literally answered on the very first post. I am not really sure what other information you need.

Tried this mod out again and this time it worked.
