[Verizon LG G4] MrTallboy:
I went to the Verizon site, removed advanced calling, waited a few minutes, then added it back again. It's been working for me ever since.
[Verizon LG G4] harpdoc:
How did you deactivate/activate from the Verizon website? I can't find it
[Verizon LG G4] MrTallboy:
"My Plans & Services" --> "Manage Products and Apps"

Remove HD Voice from your account. Then add it back a few minutes later.
[Verizon LG G4] MrTallboy:
My old G4 bootlooped on me so I'm in process of setting up my new refurb. I believe LGDMSClient must not be blocked for you to enable hd voice. This will also enable ota's, but you should be able to disable it again right away.

That seemed to do the trick for me anyway. I was adding and removing hd voice on the website to no avail until I unblocked LGDMSClient, and then bang, the hd voice option was there.
[Verizon LG G4] sur4k:
I had Advanced Calling on my original rooted G4 but after it bootlooped, I couldn't figure out how to activate it on my replacement until today. I can confirm that what finally worked was going to the VZW website to deactivate AC, unfreeze System Updates (aka LGDMSClient), reboot, activate AC on my phone, reboot. I have the latest My VZW installed and RootCloaked.
[Verizon LG G4] SoCalNewb:
This worked for me with a rooted VS986 on 13B. Thanks MrTallboy!
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
Unfortunately, after several attempts, this has still not worked for me.

I'm convinced that it will eventually, but it's becoming defeating. Not sure what the actual issue is!
[Verizon LG G4] 1NOLASaints1:
I have a VZW LG G4 and had the same exact problem. After scouring the XDA forums for like ever, I also threw my arms up in the air admitting defeat. Not completely falling into submission, I decided to give it one more shot and called my wife. As I had her on the phone, I tinkered with the option button in the top right of the screen and noticed that the "Noise Suppression" box was checked. I unchecked it and BAM!!! All is well. That is what did it for me. I thought I'd share. Good Luck All.
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
That just seems like such a bizarre/obscure feature. Maybe noise suppression isn't 'available' in advanced calling, and that's why?

I'll give that a shot. I'm gonna put the G4 up onto 27c -- but I'm not sure if I can KDZ straight from 13b to 27c. I don't want to wipe everything out -- so I figured I'd try to find out the answer first.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I had the same issue. What worked for me was first make sure that you have advanced calling activated on your account. Then I kdz'd back to stock. I went through the normal setup. I verified that I still had advanced calling on my account. I went into settings and clicked on advanced settings and then clicked on activate and when it was greyed out I factory reset the phone. When I went through all the normal setup again advanced calling was working.

Hi

i own 6965 and hav a very wierd problem with the joystick.while movin my joystick thru the menu options it automatically starts movin rapidly.

eg - if i am browsin top to down then it starts moving very fast and even if i leave the joystick it keeps moving until i move the joystick again.

can any1 throw some lite on this issue
[Sable] DancherBoi:
I have a 6945 that does the same thing. You know what I did about it...bought an AT&T Tilt. Problem went away.
[Sable] EREZYAD:
download sk-tools then try all cleanups -reg,auto,temp..etc

then SR and see if all is good now

one more thing is to backup your device then performe HR-hard reset

if the joystik is ok try to finnd the software that ....

good luck
[Sable] EREZYAD:
now you are hiding from sun light to see the screen on your new device :)
[Sable] 00SparX00:
my 6915 does the same. Just another unfixed bug from HP.
[Sable] haowee:
I got a 6965 too

and i also have this problem

I think this is a unsolve bug from HP

I hard reset and it still happens
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] hp6830s:
Many thanks for the effort mate. Will try it.

Btw, what is the bug with google store and user data, right after root.

edit

01/039/2016 11:39:08 - ERROR - Processing of boot.sin finished with errors. As u said data wipe is needed when unlocking the bl, but i have my BL unlocked earlier without data wiped...so i started the flash method ,on my old version of flashtool.Now i have the newest version, so got to try it...or i should skip the flash and go to root step...

edit2

01/006/2016 13:06:39 - INFO - Ending flash session

01/006/2016 13:06:39 - INFO - Flashing finished.

For this phone use the newest version of flashtool.

Edit3: I need to enter some kind of password on boot menu.Now what ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] tthmatt:
Will this work with F3116 running 33.2.B.2.66 firmware?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
[MENTION=5558132]hp6830s[/MENTION] you talk about bugs seen in video? If I remember, error in TWRP is about wiping /cache but no a real problem and in video got 2 force close of Play service because I'm updated from .35 without wiping userdata (not crypted /data) and I think update wasn't fully finished. Never FC again after that and no problems. But if YOU have errors about /data in TWRP it's because of encrypted phone memory. During tests I got 1 bootloop in TWRP but can't repeat the problem again after wiped userdata on first root. That's why I recommend wipe. And that's strange if your phone not wiped when unlocked, for me no choice...

[MENTION=4923637]tthmatt[/MENTION] It works but really not recommended (for boot.img), as ramdisk and kernel are from an other firmware. For recovery it's less problematic. You can try and feedback us :)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] hp6830s:
Ok ,how to remove phone encyption on boot menu ,so i can install custom user ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
I don't know the password to enter, seem to be randomly generated on first init by phone or a unknown default password is set. That's why you have to wipe userdata and after if you want you can recrypt phone in security menu and set your own password to use in TWRP. Have you seen a password in my video?? As said before I'm not a dev and my help is limited, my step by step guide is working, confirmed on F3116 and tested many times on my device. But if you want to not follow all steps you can but you will probably have problems. I said to use 0.9.22.3 Flashtool since first days, you use an older one and have problem. I said to flash and root and you want to root directly. I said to wipe and you don't do it... and finally problem again. Please follow ALL steps as described and at end if you have problems I will help you. If you want to continue with experimental way, just click Cancel on password prompt, on next screen don't swipe to allow modification, press "keep read only". At end if you have a recovery bootloop or corrupted userdata, don't ask why :) I don't want to say that my way is the only one but for now it's the working one (if you follow it carefully)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] hp6830s:
I didnt said - not following your guide. I did every step, as soon i discovered error on flashing (from the older version). But i did wipe everything, now my phone is empty. Yet it asks for password in order to install superUser, do i need to perform factory reset from recovery menu ?

edit: Wipe/ Factory - OK. FORMAT - YES...and password should be gone.

edit2: phone is rooted, and installing apps.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Flash full stock firmware with Flashtool and check "userdata" in "wipe" column as in the video (don't wipe/factory reset from Android) , JUST AFTER flash boot.img and recovery.img with Fastboot (don't boot android before that) . Boot to Android to verify and set up your phone, when finished reboot to TWRP to install UpdateSuperSU.zip No passwords needed if followed that, if you defined pin/password for lockscreen or to start phone, try it. Or don't set any password before the end of root process. I don't understand why it ask for a password :confused:
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] hp6830s:
Its all set.Battery seem more stable now...but cant find some of diagnostics tools in About Phone, like battery optimization (but i use greenify now) and move apps to SD card wizzard.

Do i need to create backup from flashtool / boot ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You finally successfully rooted your phone :good:

You can find battery optimization in "settings " --> "battery". You can't move apps on external SD since a looong time (or with workaround) , just pictures, videos, music ????

For that go "settings" --> "storage and memory".

Android 6 have a new feature "Adoptable Storage" to integrate external SD as phone memory like "ARCHOS Storage Fusion" (but it encrypt SD and is no more readable on PC with USB readers, disable acces to internal memory, not good if you break your phone) but seem to not be present in our firmwares. Next challenge is to enable feature and make encryption as a choice for user.

And for your last question I recommend you make full backup with TWRP, by this way you can backup all partitions. Not sure if it works for XA with Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] hp6830s:
thx ,but i cant backup, my m card is less than 8 gb (8.2 gb backup img) so i have to wait till my 16 gb card arrives.i

btw what is Xposed framework , Viper4Android. And how to tweek my battery settings more deeper...or greenify hibernate its fine.

There not really back there still gone for good, know idea how he does it, but it fools/emulates the keys tricking the Sony software into reactivating the Bravia engine+x-reality+camera imaging/low light algorithms. Good to know that there are two ways to do it now though. If I can be bothered I need to try this ivyroot tool for backing up your drm keys before unlocking the Bootloader. Until I know I can back up the keys I won't be unlocking the Bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
iovyroot seem to use a security exploit in LP (kernels before Dec 2015) but patched in MM (or missed the news) and no LP firmware for XA to flash, next exploit for MM can take months or more to come... But I can understand your opinion, the choice is difficult, root or warranty. For me rooting my phones is not optional, when you used custom ROMs, Xposed, Viper4Android, Lucky Patcher and GameKiller one time you can't stay without them after and say f**k to the warranty :D. If we talk about Xperia X I'm fully OK with you as it cost $$$ and will try to preserve the warranty.

EDIT: The fix is really good, ALL is working again (backup with Xperia PC Compagnon too) and very interesting thing it can show my REAL warranty date in Xperia Care as before. That's strange ...

Umm I got the boot loader unlock code. From sony on there web sit, I am new to this. But do I have to flash the phone if my bootloader is unlocked?? I don't want to mess it up I just got it and payed full price i rooted my other phones easy I just am new to android 6

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You can test, don't worry about phone brick as long as you don't play with preloader, in Flashtool stay in "normal" mode. I hard bricked XA many times during my private tests (no screen, no sound, only charging led) and always unbricked :) Mtk are strong for that.

[MENTION=7625289]caosugai[/MENTION] you can flash without problem but don't know if it's good for daily use. Tested .66 TW on .35 FR before . 73 out for France, but for test only.

Think i lost access to my personal prediction settings, the one that pinpoints my email when entering on login screens over the apps /web ( for example on typing Us3r ,the texting app predicts my mail : us3r@exaple.com ,so i dont need typing the whole email over and over )
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] aidy.lucas:
then it's a soft brick not a hard brick. A hard bricked Xperia is irreversible. Bootloop is always recoverable as is a device with only led response when connected to USB and if it does nothing on connection to USB and pc doesn't recognize the device it's a paperweight, that's what I learnt when I first got into rooting and modding my old m2 device.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Mines the same or at least it was earlier on not bringing up email address when logging on to pretty much anything, maybe it's something to do with this SwiftKey thing going off where it predicts someone else's email address and stored words. Maybe it's turned off at there end while sorting the issue out.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
You have restored only function for a locked bootloader. But not restored DRM keys. I have tried many times to restore the TA on a modified kernel but it was not successful. TA is reversed only to the stock kernel. And you need to do a restore of TA and not boot the system to flash stock firmware. In the modified kernel does not receive dm-verification or hash does not match, I do not know that but the keys are not installed. Perhaps when that will be done to exploit root on a locked bootloader. In this project: https://gist.github.com/Arinerron/0e99d69d70a778ca13a0087fa6fdfd80 there is hope but I'm not a developer and does not know how to do for 64-bit systems.

And exactly the same when I try the recovery. Now I'm stucked in a boot loop at Sony logo and dont know what to do. I've already checked the file that [MENTION=7691169]cafeeina[/MENTION] said and it's all right writen.

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
No you can't, you can use the Drm fix to emulate them and restore features. I hope that an user will make a guide to dump the TA partition with Dirtycow exploit before unlocking the bootloader and release a modified boot to mount the TA backup during boot (near same result as flashing Drm fix), as I know you can't flash the TA backup on XA and Ultra.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] aidy.lucas:
Already supposed to be a working ta back up for the xa and xa ultra as well as all other x range models.

I tried to restore TA. I used your method and command prompt shows:

4096+0 records in

4096+0 records out

2097152 bytes (2.0MB) copied, 0.034396 seconds, 58.1MB/s

I think TA is successfully copied. However, when I open check the Security menu, it says:

WIDEVINE_TEST [Unknown Error]

CKB_TEST [Unknown Error]

Anyone can share how to restore TA keys?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
You do not carefully read what I wrote.

1)copy your backupTA to root folder of device. Then turn off the phone and load the device in the recovery mode and connect to PC. Run command promt from folder ADB and promt: adb shell dd if=/sdcard/name your copy of backupTA.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000

2) click on the menu recovery turn off the phone, You can not be loaded into the system !!! You can not do it !!!

3) Start FlashTool and click on the flashing icon, choose your firmware. Do not have to choose different items, especially MiscTA. You can only select items wipe. Then click Flash and when prompted, connect your turn off device. After flashing Disconnect your phone from cable and turn it on.

4) The first boot is long. Make the first phone setup and when making your entry into the myXperia , if you are logged on with an account - I congratulate you. If you logged on account myXperia then you have restored TA. Go to service menu and check it. It is important after restored TA can not be loaded into the system! You must turn off your phone and flash stock firmware!!!
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershotwalkman:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

I can log into my Xperia. But when I check in Security, there are still errors.

WIDEVINE_TEST [Unknown Error]

CKB_TEST [Unknown Error]

Is it normal?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
This not normal. You need to first restore the TA in recovery mode and not boot into system. In recovery you need choose power off. Then run flashtool ->press the flash button ->Select the stock firmware ->flash it. Only not boot into system and flash stock firmware you can restore your backupTA.

Noob tried rooting his phone, didn't accomplish

I didn't fully understand the tutorial and now my xa ultra is stuck in a boot cycle after flashing the phone.. I googled for days now and as a noob I don't really understand how this all works and what is the right thing to do

What I managed:

bootloader unlocked

developer mode

usb debugging

...

but then I got stuck at the boot cycle, I'm scared for the worst..

I tried recovery mode, but it just goes back to the boot cycle,

I tried flashing again with versions from the flashtool,

My phone isn't recognized if I plug it into the usb

It does get recognized in flashtool if its in flash mode

I'm able to put other roms on it (as far as i hardly understand) but it gets stuck at 5%? (or is this total nonsense..)

I think I ****ed up at stage 6, didn't understand that was an app in your phone.

I would really appreciate all the help I could get, even if it's just suggestions. I would owe you my life if it would work again
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershotwalkman:
I think my Xperia XA is hard bricked. I chose No for FSC Script in Flashtool. After flashing done, the phone won't boot, no fastboot mode, no download mode. Only a constant red LED when plugged into the charger.

Perhaps you can flash to store front firmware first. Then carry out root process in store front firmware.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You have a bootloop without flashing the modified boot??

If you flashed it, you must flash the recovery.img just after the boot.img. Go to the new recovery just after and flash SuperSu.zip, don't boot to Android before this step or you will have a bootloop.

I want to root my X using bootloader unlocking but dont want to lose any drm keys, then I decided to backup my TA first ,but this proccess itself needs root access.

I'm pretty confused about how to keep or restore drm keys?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You have to follow the step 2 of the guide to backup your TA with the Dirtycow exploit, follow the link. You will have to wait some days for having the possibility to mount your TA backup during boot, there is a Proof of Concept on the road and I will update the guide when released. It will work with Nougat but it will not give you the possibility to flash the backup. You can use the Drm fix until the PoC release or until Nougat release.
