As the PACEfied Thread is getting a bit bulky i open this new thread for all the things regarding the translation of the Amazfit Watch to different languages.
[Other SmartWatches] Beleriand:
Reserved for Q&A
[Other SmartWatches] Beleriand:
Did my first test on the audio feedback of the Amazfit today. First a big thank you for supplying the English audio files. The audio is now usable.

After 10km of walking today i realized the watch says "ten-one kilometer" when you reach 11 kilometers but that is probably caused by the software as there are separate files for all the numbers available.

And the files are all singular which means it says "kilometer" "hour" "second" but it is "kilometers" "hours" and "seconds" most of the time. But i can not fix that as i do not have the TTS software to create the files. And it's just a minor problem. ;)

Hi guys, i wonder if someone had this issue as mine ...I rooted my p760 using Kingo root. I installed Busybox from google play. Next, i installed L9 recovery ( Clockworkmod reovery). I entered into recovery, >>factory wipe, then ''Wipe cache'', then "Wipe dalvik cache", and finaly i choose "install zip from external sd and tried to install the ROM. But it failed. And i tried several ROMs. One time, it just said thats an error on the rom ( pacman rom), with another rom it said that the rom i want to flash is for p760 but mine is p940 ( ?! ) , another time with another rom it flashed the rom, but got the "" LG security error" message at boot. ( but i restore from that using LG support tool 2014 and flashing original kdz). I just cant understand what im doing wrong... The stock rom is working soo bad, so i want a custom one ...:rolleyes:

Hi, has anyone managed to get a SDHC card to work with WM5? i have tried a couple of different CAB files, but non have worked. I cant change my ROM, so CAB files are the only option :confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mbxiom:
just curious, but why can't you change the ROM ???

Is it a technical problem, or a company owned phone that you don't want to fiddle with ??
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mugglesquop:
Technical, doesnt sync with USB anymore, caused by charging the phone in the car while starting the engine, causes a spike in the current = blown USB board... still charges tho! :rolleyes:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mbxiom:
Ouch......I'll have to remember to keep plugging in AFTER starting car.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mugglesquop:

so, anyone got any info on SDHC drivers?

Cheers
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] AndyLawrie:
Unless anyone knows better, the problem isn't with WM5, it's with the hardware. SDHC still doesn't work after upgrade to WM6.

Edited an hour later: yes, I'm glad to say someone does know better :-) I tried this about 4 months ago and it didn't work, but I just had a look and there is now a later (and much larger) .CAB than the one I installed last time, and this one works! Excellent news, never been so pleased to have been wrong. But I am running WM6.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Spleanie:
So I've recently got my hands on a dirt cheap OP3 with problems (seller did warn me of those but I thought "how hard can it be to fix them?")

To start with: OP3 A3003, OOS3.1.2, TWRP and SuperSU. IMEI and Baseband are in tact, I can make calls and use LTE, so it's possible to live with it, but those couple problems ruins whole pleasant oneplus experience.

And problems are:

1. Wifi doesnt work. At all. It can't detect any networks and for MAC adress there is weird 02:00:00:00:00:00

2. None of the sensors shows any signs of life, checked with Sensor Box app and *#808#

There is a perfectly good explaination for both of those: root browsers shows /persist completely empty. So if there is any way to fix this lovely piece of modern tech - only this place can provide it. So help, please ;]

P.S. Soft/hard reset and reflashing aren't helping obviously, nor does deleting /persist - after reboot it appears in same state.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tristoon92:
My OP3 has Wifi, GPS, Dialer works but none of the sensors work. I tried everything from flashing roms to using unbrick methods but nothing works too.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Spleanie:
Ok, so I've pulled persist.img from the toolkit, flashed it right after "erase persist" and that revived all of my sensors! Yay! I guess that toolkit might help with wifi as well, tho no idea which part of it. I'd use whole procedure, but there is one problem here - it needs bricked phone to start with.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Renosh:
If you wanna brick your phone its easy. Install 4.0.2 and then root and make sure you have TWRP of course. Download the OTA to 4.0.3 the small one not the full zip. Flash that in recovery. You'll be bricked
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Spleanie:

[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
I'm pretty sure that once you have unlocked the bootloader, the easiest thing at that point is to use fastboot to flash a custom kernel/recovery, then boot to recovery, flash su, then reflash your original kernel. Then you're rooted.

Plus, rooting is easy now even with locked bl, since we have Kingroot, and new Sony bootloader with real recovery.

(However, I can't say for sure on every device... I appreciate you taking the time to post...)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
Hey. If you'd say this to my mom, I'm sure she'll not understand any of these. And with this guide she at least have some chance of success.
[Sony Cross-Device General] F2a:
levone1, why at the end would you flash your original kernel again instead of just running your custom kernel that you made like in the guide?
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
If you flash stock-based kernel via boot.IMG in fastboot that will work with your stock ROM, great, keep it. I was just imagining easiest thing to be to flash, for example, CM boot IMG, just to be able to get into recovery to flash su. Usually stock-based kernels are zips, with other things besides just boot IMG. What I've usually done with unlocked BL and stock ROM is use fastboot to flash CM boot and recovery IMG, then go to recovery and flash supersu, then use flashtool to flash kernel only of stock ROM. Once you reboot, rooted, you can do whatever from there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nigeta_gr:
Which ROM have you flashed to 6883. The Nougat?
[Sony Cross-Device General] realtuxen:
I am not quite sure what you mean tbh so forgive me if I missunderstand. :)

stock kernels are not zips they come in .elf hence the use of rootkernel to unpack/repack it to something more manageable. nowadays supersu makes changes to this partition once flashed, so if you flash stock kernel.sin containing kernel.elf again from flashtool changes will be reverted and you loose root.

the easiest way to get into twrp recovery without flashing anything is to just fastboot it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
Yes, the latest official firmware available for Z5P (E6883) is Nougat (7.0). I flashed it during the assembly of this guide.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nigeta_gr:
I suppose it will work with my E6833 as well.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
I'm sure it will.
[Sony Cross-Device General] JZ SmartMort:
Ogromnoye spasibo bratan!

This helped me tremendously, just wanted to say thanks!

FYI, I'm using latest Nougat 333 UK firmware on Xperia X F5121 US version --- so that my fingerprint scanner works. Got stuck in a boot loop after installing TWRP but after reading your thread, I fully understood and fixed the reason why. The root tool from GitHub worked kinda --- meaning I had busybox and others but no su binary I still had to install SuperSU.zip via TWRP to actually have root. You documented a similar experience.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
You're welcome, zemlyak! Sure, for root you definitely need SuperSU, it just won't work without it this way. It's a shame US versions of Xperias don't have fingerprint scanner activated, but it's cool to hear, that flashing another region firmware helps.
[Sony Cross-Device General] viperc:
Hi, I followed everything until the part where I need to flash the modified kernel in step 5. There is no error messages. the output is exactly like the screen captures. When I start the phone, I don't see the amber light. I cannot proceed. Where did I go wrong? Appreciate any help available.

Edit: Used a rooted stock kernel from another thread. Seems to work. Still not sure what I missed out though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
Hey. If the phone don't turn on amber light for a while during the boot up, then TWRP is not there.

If you used the kernel repack script I mentioned in the guide with a very recent Sony's firmware, probably you didn't notice, that TWRP has not been integrated into the kernel due to some error. It is because this script should be frequently updated to work with any newly released firmware, and Tobias, its author, apparently have not time to do this.

However, you can update the script yourself, following this procedure.
[Sony Cross-Device General] F2a:
I don't have the amber LED light on boot up on my X Compact but everything works fine. I can't seem to find it but I recall reading somewhere an actual reason why I didn't see it but as far as I know it's not a problem.

Edit: Simple check, reboot and hold volume down. Do you enter TWRP? I do even though I never see the amber led.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Holydao:
Maybe it wasn't a proper kernel for your rom or device, I also experienced some errors including yours but at last (after 12 try) I found a working kernel for me. I really don't know what the problem is, sometimes it just doesn't work...
[Sony Cross-Device General] viperc:
Thanks. I will look into that again when my region's Sony release the latest firmware.

Interesting, didn't try that lol. I used another pre-rooted sick kernel to flash after my attempt failed. I can see the amber led now with the other kernel.
[Sony Cross-Device General] viperc:
Tried again after re-downloading the script. It's working now. Thanks.

Hi everybody :)

I have an Xperia X Compact phone and I want to add Magisk.

I read the first post but I didn't understand very well the steps, so I will report here main steps and my question about them:

NOTE: I'm waiting for shipping to arrive, so I don't have the device on hand yet and I don't know which firmware it has and so on.

install drivers on the PC OK

backup DRM with DirtyCow tool It does not work with N, right?

unlock bootloader with Sony online procedure OK

flash latest official firmware It is required? Latest is Android N I think, should I flash this or there's incompatibilities with this rooting procedure?

Repacking and flashing a kernel.

Is DRM fix required even if I have backup of original DRM?

What does the XX..XX means on:

At the step below, I cannot see the hidden content of the output I should expect. What is it? (when I click on CLICK TO SHOW, nothing happens)

Installing SuperSU or Magisk. O

K, seems easy to do

(optional) Restore your DRM keys. OK, seems easy to do

Other generic questions:

if I choose Magisk, the /system partition will be untouched. So will OTA update be available or not?

can you tell me any suggestion/hint/etc. about requirements (eg. "Follow guide with firmware X not with Y", and so on?

Thanks to anyone who can help me :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nimadroid:
Hi bro Tnx for your explanation of what we must do

But a critical question is root kernel don't support Xperia xa Ultra (F2212) or any other variants

What I must do to get a patched kernel for this device in new 7.0 FW???
[Sony Cross-Device General] ckjeldmann:
Xperia XC

How do I proceed if mhl_sii8620_8061_drv.ko is not in the file?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
XDA is again messed around with image links, just restored them!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
Dunno lol.

There are multiple builds of each major release, so most probably the shipped N will differ from the latest available N.

It is required if at some point you will decide to unroot your phone and restore original DRM keys. If you don't care about them, just use DRM fix.

These are placeholder characters I chose.

Thanks, fixed now.

OTA update will break your root most probably. But actually I didn't ever try to do OTA on any Xperia.

Just try what you think can work for you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fragmentation:
Not sure guys. Please ask in the original Root Kernel thread.
