DTV

I know you guys are all moving to LP, but i think i managed to get DTV working on an older firmware using a customized kernel (DoomKernel 11), and i say i think, because while it seems to be working i live in Uruguay and i'm not in Montevideo so it doesn't find any channels.

I'm a noob and this is my first try at rebuilding the android kernel so please excuse my ignorance!

So i got a prebuilt toolchain from google (arm-eabi-4.8) and DoomKernel sources, after investigating i found there are some key differences between the international and Brazilian config files:

-CONFIG_MACH_SONY_SIRIUS=y
+CONFIG_MACH_SONY_SIRIUS_BRAZIL=y

+CONFIG_ONESEG_TUNER_SMTVJ18X=y

On the Stock sony ramdisk i also found:

init.sony-device.rc

on boot
# OneSeg
chown system system /dev/onesegtuner
chmod 660 /dev/onesegtuner
chown system system /dev/i2c-11
chmod 660 /dev/i2c-11

chown system system /sys/module/mpq_dmx_hw_plugin/parameters/tsif_mode
chmod 660 /sys/module/mpq_dmx_hw_plugin/parameters/tsif_mode
...

So i proceded to rebuild Doomkernel with the new config, and repacked the DK ramdisk.

After that i deodexed dtv-ginga.apk, and copied the required libraries.

Before i kept getting:

tuner_init: power on failed (0x101)

But now that error message is gone and it seems to be scanning, so if anyone wants to try it i have attached it bellow

I suppose if it is really working this could be adapted to later versions.

EDIT: stock dt.img isnt needed i was generating it using the d6503 one

EDIT: it did find some channels!! but the signal is too low :(

EDIT: It worked!!

(DoomKernel 11 for d6543 (.314) boot.img for use with fastboot)
[Xperia Z2 General] predatorian:
I wonder if this means we can install D6503 ROMS and after installing your zip we can keep the TV.

Maybe I'll test that.

Thank you for your research!
[Xperia Z2 General] Nbhs:
yes this exactly what this means, I installed a stock d6503 .314 ftf, then I rebuilt the doomkernel with support for the tuner, then I copied the dtv-ginga.apk and its required libraries and it works, ill try with lollipop next but

in a few days after I'm done with some tests at my University
[Xperia Z2 General] Nbhs:
DTV lollipop kernel

I was successful in building a lollipop kernel for our d6543, and DTV is working, so here it is for your testing:

Kernel supports:

*Built from sony sources

*3 way recovery (cwm, twrp, fota recovery)

*Cdrom emulation support (for use with drivedroid)

*Faux SoundControl (didnt test)

*Breathing Notifications

* .690 and .726 support (fully works on 690 BR flavor, works on 726 but didnt test DTV)

Attached are also tools and patch required to build for d6543
[Xperia Z2 General] predatorian:
WOW! THANK YOU! Does it include the DTV software, apk and libraries?

Pleeeeease help me updating

Hi guys i have one xperia Z2 D6543 runnig KitKat 4.4.2 and the Firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 from CLARO.

I'm a little lost with all the things that i read here in this topic and i wan't a little help.

First: i want to update my device to Lolipop if its possible.

Second: if there is no released firmware to update my cellphone yet i want to use the original 4.4.2 rom without anything from CLARO.

Third: My cell phone its already rooted but with the bootloader locked.

Fourth: I need help to do all the process, if someone can describe everything that i need to download and the steps that i need to do i will be very happy.

* I already downloaded the D6543_23.0.1.A.0.167_Customized BR and D6543_23.1.A.0.690_R5C_Customized BR.

* When i try to install the Flashtool my antivirus Kaspersky detected it as a trojan and don't let me install it.

Please help me.
[Xperia Z2 General] stayawake:
If you want to stay with the bootloader locked (and rooted), try this method to upgrade to Lollipop:

Hi friend, i have a D6543 and now i have installed the D6503 version 23.1.A.1.28 on it. I wanna 'install' the TV. How can i convert the standart kernel to the modded one that have this function? The Kernel only doesn't put the DTV app on android, right?

I trully wanna participate of the process of development of you work.
[Xperia Z2 General] PedroBR:
Hey guys! thanks a lot for this thread dedicated to our D6543 model! XDA community never lets me down :highfive:

I'm very frustrated Sony and Vivo won't update our model to 5.xxx ... basically one of the two will lose a customer over this (probably Sony when I buy a new phone).

I'm kind of confused on how to upgrade my phone to Lollipop... can someone please post a step by step?

Personally I'm not worried about the DTV, but I'm guessing a lot of people would want that feature to stay.

Thanks a lot!

[Xperia Z2 General] renatofdds:
What is the quickest way to get root from 23.1.A.1.28 ?

I did some research and from what i understood i need to:

0) Factory reset

1) Flash 17.1.2.A.0.314 generic FTF with flashtool (I couldn't find any working links)

2) Use easy root to root it (link)

3) Backup TA partition / DRM keys

4) Install TWRP

5) Flash 23.1.A.0.690 pre-rooted created by [MENTION=4519790]Tiu Fiu[/MENTION]

Is that correct ?

Is there an easier way ?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z2 General] stayawake:
You're correct, I think this is the best way to get root and stay with locked bootloader and DRM Keys. did you tried to download the 4.4.2 ROM via XperiaFirm?
[Xperia Z2 General] renatofdds:
Just finished rooting with that procedure i outlined. So, no, didn't tried it, but it all turned out just fine. Thx for the suggestion anyway.

Btw, has anyone successfully installed 23.1.A.1.28 ? Will we need a pre-rooted package ?
[Xperia Z2 General] stayawake:
Yes I installed the Brazilian .28 firmware, it's easy to make a pre-rooted package using the PRF Creator, with this method (flashing via recovery the new system firmware) is very useful because you keep your personal data.

I think is perfectly safe a dirty flash if you're already with lollipop and by the way, can someone make a .zip flashable through recovery?

Thanks guys, you're awesome!
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
My bad!

Just realized that there's already a flashable zip, downloading now, going to test today and give you guys my impression.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
Yeah;

There's defenetly something wrong;

I've got bootloop after Android Starts, at the end of Android is Starting (optimizing apps) it crashes and restart with this message "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"

And you know the best part, my dual recovery is gone! So i can't restore my backup until i get home, so no phone for the rest of the day;

Have you tested your ROM and worked all right?

Sorry but for now i just can't suggest to use your ROM;

Ps. it was a dirty flash, but that is defenetly not the problem, i've alredy searched and you can dirty flash this update over the last one;
[Xperia Z2 General] GuiTess:
I have made this rom to install on my phone.

It's working, but I only made a fresh install to avoid problems.

I think you need a different zip file to make a dirty flash.

To recover your DUAL RECOVERY you need to install an old tft KitKat rom by flash tools and then install dual recovery again.

Then you install the rom 5.1.1 following these steps:

Before flash zip, CLEAR CACHE, DALVIK and CLEAR TO INSTALL A NEW ROM in recovery.

Flash zip and CLEAR CACHE and DALVIK..

Flash tft excluding SYSTEM and PARTITION on flashtool.

Again, I ever recomend the fresh install method.

Here's the link of the 5.1.1 ROM I've made:

https://drive.google.com/folderview...J3c2NuVHFwWTFxX2VHYlRTSlFjM2NDWDg&usp=sharing

If you need an older rom, tell me.
[Xperia Z2 General] TicoVillas:
This is very strange!

I really don't know what's wrong!

I've done a full clean install on your rom and I don't have root!

I used the tft since my phone suffered a soft brick

Apart from root and recovery everything works fine.

Dor the dual recovery it isn't needed an older rom, I've just used the installer and everything is OK, but again, no root?!

Can someone else Teste it so I'm not the only one?

Thanks for your efforts bro!
[Xperia Z2 General] GuiTess:
I think the problem is when you install tft on flashtool. After the instalation of zip from recovery you need flash tft on flashtool excluding SYSTEM and PARTITION. You have did this?

Awesome job [MENTION=4519790]Tiu Fiu[/MENTION]! I've got my D6543 this week. It's running on 4.4.2, I'm still trying to see the best android version, I've seen poeple complaining about battery life after the update..
[Xperia Z2 General] Nbhs:
Hi guys, i built another lollipop kernel for our d6543 for firmware revision .546, everything works including DTV, plus an uniquely exclusive for Xperia Z2, OTG + CHARGING SUPPORT!

Kernel supports:

*Built from sony sources with linaro cortex_a15 gcc 4.9.1 toolchain

*init.d support

*3 way recovery (cwm, twrp, fota recovery)

*Cdrom emulation support (for use with drivedroid)

*Taiko sound control (disabled speaker control since it doesnt work)

*Breathing Notifications

*OTG + CHARGING Y cable support!

NOTE: Most patches are not my own work, i took a lot from DoomLord DoomKernel, AndroPlus AndroPlusKernel, pec0ra Abricot kernel, cocafe CoCore-Z kernel and CM12 kernel. OTG charging is a modified patch based on sollapse One Plus One otg charging work, init.d support from alireza7991 post

For OTG+CHARGING you'll need a Y cable, if you cant get one, it's extremely easy to make:

[IMG="Y cable diagram"]http://forums.androidcentral.com/attachments/nexus-4-accessories/157756d1420308553t-external-camera-wiring-usb-otg-harness.jpg[/IMG]

If you already have an otg adapter like me, and some usb cables lying arround, you can easly hack one cable, you can find info online about this, but here are some photos of mine:

To enable OTG+CHARGING, from adb or shh execute:

echo Y > /sys/module/dwc3/parameters/enable_otg_charge

or copy 98otgcharge from init.d.zip into your /system/init.d directory

to flash the kernel img, on linux tou can use fastboot

sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img

on windows you can use flashtool, put your phone on fastboot mode, go to flash device (the thunder/power icon), "select kernel to flash", reboot.

PS: if someone wants to create a flashable cwm image please do :D
