[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] donedos:
I will try this one. I also have SO-01J running 7.0 and already downloaded the 8.0 for F8331.

Flash tool is having an error "The bundle does not match the connected device." every time I flash the firmware.

edit: Tried .39 , .41 and the default fsc but still unable to flash successfully.

edit 2: I'll just update my so-01j via xperia companion with the latest Oreo.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] upbeatwrench:
You should create a bundle for F8331 with the desired customization files BUT SELECT SO-01J WHEN CREATING A BUNDLE AS THE DEVICE IN THE DEVICE FIELD so it should match your current model
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] donedos:
Yes. I did what you suggested.

Created a bundle for F8331 with fsc from F83xx and selected SO-01J. But still having an error first in partition.sin. If partition is bypassed, the next *.sin will also have an error.

I don't have this problem with SOV34 (Au) devices, just this Docomo variant.

Hopefully someone with SO-01J can make a workaround.

Thanks for the help.?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] upbeatwrench:
Have you tried flashing a clean stock FW from SO-01J and repeating the process?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] donedos:
Yes I did. Maybe i'll try it again once done.exploring the 8.0 in Docomo version.

Edit: I'll be trying to use the prf creator tool just like the old days. I hope it's still works for newer Xperia. After this holiday season I will try flashing.

edit2: just rooted my SO-01J oreo and removed all the Japanese apps. ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pitsgraft:
Hi,

Are you using SO-O1J docomo? How do you root your device?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Temaki:
I think rooting was not the biggest problem but to unlock the bootloader. I once tried to downgrade to the earliest rom I found for this device but still wasn't able to unlock the bootloader.

Also I read somewhere that one should be able to flash a different rom with an unlocked bootloader but this is also not possible with this Docomo device. I have tried it twice with different rom's.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pitsgraft:
I've noticed and I too has tried downflash to android M but no luck....and even tried to communicate with docomo cs regarding unlocking the bootloader but still no luck....

I think we all have here has the same passion of removing the docomo bloats.... to me these bloats are issue. So a root is definitely a small fix to my issue and I would like to do/ get that root solution for my XZ.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] blackerpaper:
Please share steps to root SO-01J, i have do anything i could, but still can't :(:(:(
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] donedos:
I created a thread in Guide section please check the procedure.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] ven1x:
you selected the wrong device during bundle creation, retrace your steps if you still intend to get a global rom.

Another thing, some ROMs will have the horrible chameleonWorkflow has stopped error after startup (basically softbricking your device), I used a Generic rom (LAM latin america generic) and it worked.

where i can download this both rom, without bundle ?

i already download rom but filetype is ftf already bundle..

thx for your help
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] upbeatwrench:
I don't have video tutorial about that, you can download the bundles on Xperifirm
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Hanwie88:
i had done downloa d601so and f8331 from xperifirm.. but i cant find fsc file// on that both folder

there is no that file.. how can be
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] upbeatwrench:
it's in C:\ > Users > *user* > .flashtool > devices > F83XX

copy everything except 39.fsc to the folder to be created as bundle
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Hanwie88:
oh tq.. i got it....

but while i bundle f83xx and i didnt find 601so device in device selector

i had re install xz driver.. i download from developer.sony web

sorry i ask too much...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] RoyFAR:
Thank you for the tutorial ;)

I wanna ask about FSC file, if I want to flash from 601SO to F8331 I should grab 2 FSC files (41.FSC and default.FSC) and if I want to flash from F8331 to 601SO then I should grab 2 FSC files (39.FSC and default.FSC). Am I right or wrong?

Also what do you think about this problem "chameleon workflow" issue that already solved : https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/XZ-Japan-FTF-flash-error/td-p/1215679#gref

[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] aeferado:
I recently shifted from iOS to this amazing phone just a day back. I saw my friend having this phone and bought it the next day a few hours before my flight in India. I am now in Vietnam and tried inserting the sim card it went on to ask me for a Unlock Code. I removed the sim and put it back on my old phone, after finding out about the Network Lock by Samsung. My Question is can I have any alternative methods than the 5 minute call from the country purchased in ? I am not going back to India for another 6 months and would be so sad to see this phone not being my primary phone :(

Hope you amazing people out there can guide me on this.

Thanks for any help in advance. ;) ;)
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] i.snehal.kiran:
i dont know if this help you or not

it is risky but you can try to flash vietnam firmware through odin

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/126030/C900FDDU1AQB2_C900FOLB1AQB2_XEV/

this should work but do it on your own risk!!
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] aeferado:
Thank you for the Reply. I tried flashing (Good thing is half the bloatware is removed now) but still no luck with the network unlock. When I enter my local sim card it still asks for a Netowrk Unlock Code.
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
How about this suggestion: Order an Indian pre-paid sim card, one that also allows you to make international calls. Put that in your phone, and make a call for 5 minutes. If I remember correctly, the sticker on the box doesn't say that you actually have to make the 5-minute call in the country of purchase. It only says you need to make the call with a sim card of the country of purchase (I don't have the sticker anymore, so I could be wrong).

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] gemtin92:
Hello,

im not using my X with any case and recently saw that my back lens is really, reallly scratched. I cant understand why Sony did not use glass to protect it. Any idea how to remove this scratches?

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58db60c5c607c/IMG_20170329_092200739.jpg?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] FoxTheLegend:
It's not glass? It feels like it.. weird, I thought all of the X series were with glass lens. I have no scrathes nor in the lens nor on the screen (actually in the screen there are 2 super small invisible scratches you can view only with a specific angle under bright sun, other than that, it's like new. Been using a flip case and now ordered screen protectors and a good TPU. You got your lens TERRIBLY f*cked up, how did you manage to do that? and the metal is scratched too, right? I suggest you get a TPU now to prevent more damage. I don't think you can fix it, and I don't recommend the toothpaste DIY "trick" since chances are it won't do anything and paste will get stuck in the gap between the lens. I do suggest you to find lens in ebay and replace them yourself, or if you haven't rooted and still have warranty ask what they can do about it in a local store. Can't be very expensive...
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] m4tt94:
What did you do in the end? I had this phone for little over a week, and the camera is full of scratches.

Did you contact Sony? Did they repaired the phone? Or have you removed the scratched layer with alcohol/toothpaste?

I've owned many, many phones over the years, some with a plastic lens. This is the first time I've seen my camera so scratched.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] ademanyem:
Just by looking at the pic, I'm pretty sure the protective plastic camera has not been removed yet..
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] FoxTheLegend:
This is old people, and I highly doubt OP will reply. Whoever says their lens are getting scratches either didn't remove the plastic cover or you are doing something VERY wrong. Phones aren't meant to be placed on rocks or something. Other than that, I have not idea how you scratch it and it looks like glass to me. The X series phones after the z5 were all upgraded with glass lens.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] m4tt94:
There's no protective plastic on my lens, and it scratches with jeans denim, I've tested it. I own phones with actual plastic lenses, and they do not scratched by fabric. My guess is there are some units where the antiglare layer on the camera lens have some kind of defect.

Before the "you're using it wrong" argument: no. My phone is in pristine condition, it does not have any marks of use anywhere but the camera. It was never near any rough surface. My 2.5 years old Moto E2 plastic camera lens is in a much better condition.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] FoxTheLegend:
Interesting. Mine is great though.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] gemtin92:
Hi, I just bought original replacement back panel on aliexpress and replaced it - 3min of work. Tryed with toothpaste before but it didnt help at all.

Item is not available anymore but it was from this seller for 9usd and it was real orginal part:

http://s.aliexpress.com/JRF77VZ7
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] izyer:
Does it have a protective plastic on the cam? I didnt notice any.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] FoxTheLegend:
Did you heat the back panel with a heat gun?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] gemtin92:
Yes, it was blue so very visable.

No, u used my gf hair dryer [emoji14]

So far I dont have any scratches on lens for months, so sth was ****ed up with previous back panel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] NoN1979:
lightweight browsers use internal webview, for kitkat it's based on old chromium 33, so better for functional and security reasons use "full" browsers, such as chrome, opera, edge and so on
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Psycho103:
The ROM is super fast but for me the apps are crashing crazy. YouTube crashes as soon as I click on a video. Videos don't play in video player of gallery. Sometimes the keyboard just stuck on the screen and won't go away for a minute or two.

Edit : OK so after some hours I think there is some problem with videos. I can't send using any app (tried WhatsApp and Instagram) and YouTube keeps crashing.

Edit 1 : USB Tethering not working. Tried to clean flash Nougat but Internal Storage is now inaccessible on other ROMs working only with this one.

Please fix the video bug
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NoN1979:
Thanks for review, will try to fix, maybe rpdroky's CM11 code could help me with video, but causes bugs with camera
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Psycho103:
Yeah. rpdroky made some great CM11 build but unfortunately he lost his i9300. The latest stock CM11 build he did also has this video bug but he has fix for this. Hope that works with SlimKAT.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NoN1979:
updated slimkat (4.4.4) with rpdroky multimedia fixes (youtube and video OK), not perfect yet, ex: camera working, but need to be reworking, old OSS camera is so ugly, several crashes is still normal thing.

update: multimedia error still sometimes breaks youtube with libOMX.SEC.Decoder error, so i rebuild with a bit more fixes:

please re-download it )

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056030219
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Psycho103:
Thank you so much for this. I can confirm that the video is no more a problem. YouTube is still crashing when I try to play a video but that's not a big problem. Apps are still crashing randomly but it's now very less than last build. So the build is great. Thank you so much for responding this fast to the bugs. As I am stuck on this ROM. Don't have time to do a super clean flash and I'm not even sure that it will solve the storage problem. So I'll stick with this ROM for a long I think.
