Really excited for the release of the source code, but I don't see PRA-LX1 model listed in the description. I can only see these other models:

PRA-AL00, AL00, AL00, TL10, TL00, L31, L11, L01, L21, L22, L02, L23, L03.

Would this mean that PRA-LX1 is not supported?

Thanks in advance!
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] GuestK0062:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simoyd:
I looked around the internet a lot and wasn't able to find any useful information about this. I have a GT-I9300

I've recently updated my OS (lineage 4.1 - Android 7.1.2) and modem (I9300XXUGMK6) and I'm wondering what a recommended boot-loader might be. I chose this modem because it was listed on the ROM page, and it seems to work fine.

I found this but it appears to be very old:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-stock-kernel-bootloaders-t2189063

Before I updated, my modem was version I9300XXEMG4, and I'm pretty sure I updated my modem and boot-loader at the same time previously, which leads me to believe my boot-loader is probably XXEMG4 too (assuming that exists).

Should I update to XXEMG5? Should I try to find the boot-loader that corresponds to my modem (XXUGMK6, assuming that exists)?

I just want something that is probably going to be reliable, not that I have any specific problems, but I believe in staying up to date. Where can I find the latest boot-loaders? Any reason not to just get the latest? What are people here using in general?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
The bootloader doesn't need to be changed and you cannot downgrade once you've updated the firmware to mk6 unless you have a backup of your efs from before mk6.

If it ain't broke..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mjt123:
Okay, let me start out by saying that I don't really know much about this stuff.

Anyway, I messed up and deleted some photos that were important for my job and in a panic I used some questionable software in attempt to "root" my phone, in hopes of retrieving those photos.

I never got the photos back, but now I have some type of security issue with my phone. Basically, during the boot screen, I get a custom/unlocked logo, and when it boots up I get the following security message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes". In addition, I cannot use my fingerprint sensor, Samsung Pay, or install updates.

After doing a little research, I downloaded a couple apps to see if 1) my phone was actually rooted (SuperSu) 2) if Knox had been tripped (Knox Status). The answer to both is "no", so hopefully that is a good sign.

Is there anyway to restore my phone to normal, or did I do something that is non-reversible?

Anyway help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm happy to share with you my new TWRP recovery 3.1.1-0 built from sources. It works for Dual Sim XA only on Nougat.

As before decryption of /data doesn't work so if you want a full backup or explore files use an unencrypted data partition.

Download link:

https://mega.nz/#!1swQ0KiQ!Qc6QqJhPzTkeiUwJ4c64-2Ql029Bar9ySAkwwWw-S-E

Flash it with fastboot.

Actually, you can use flashtool 9.23.1, but remember to download the 9.23.2 jar file and copy to flashtool folder (overwrite).

Also, if you know how to input adb command, you can enter bootloader using the following:

adb reboot bootloader

Hopefully the version of XA Ultra will be released.

I'm on nougat 33.3.A.0.131 f3116

In 9 th step u have mention boot delivery, i cant understand.

Where to find BOOT_DELIVERY
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaminxa:
Is Boot delivery of marshmallows (33.2.B.3.81) and nougat (33.3.A.127) compatible for nougat 33.3.A.0.131. Because I have marshmallows and nougat firmwares(ftfs) only that versions.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitha shankar:
I dont underdtand
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
OK, I will explain a little more the step 9.

You must have 2 Firmwares in Flashtool:

1st is your actual Nougat firmware

2nd is a Marshmallow firmware, I used 33.2.B.4.70 for my F3112 but you can probably use an older.

When you are on step 9, open Flashtool and load the Marshmallow firmware. When you are on the screen to choose parts to flash with boxes to check and uncheck. You have to check all boxes on the up and down right columns, only the "BOOT_DELIVERY" is uncheck in the upper right column. If it's OK you should see only one line in the "Content" column: "boot_delivery.xml". Now clic on "flash" button at the bottom right, if Flashtool asks for using fsc script, clic "yes". You will have to do the same at step 17 but with your actual Nougat firmware.

It's very important to use the last Flashtool version 0.9.23.2 and download firmwares from the included Xperifirm or you will probably have problems or brick.

Edit: I will add files for Single Sim very soon so you don't have to ask for them :)

I let the device for 30 Mins still its nit booting up.

Is there any issue. Please help.

Hello, thanks for your guide.

Everything worked (Unlocking bootloader, install recovery and Magisk) but im now stuck at the last step

So I tried to flash the BOOT_DELIVERY of the 33.3.A.0.131_R2B (France Generic) and I had this error.

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/52/6/1514634309-flashtool64-2017-12-30-12-37-20.png

So I tried to flash the whole firmware but I have lost magisk and recovery.

Any idea what to do ? Happy holidays.

EDIT : OK IT WORK ! Probably did something wrong so I did everything again and now it's good.

If someone having issue I can probably help them.

Lagging after root

Hi guys,

Does anyone experienced lagging and some apps stop to work after root? I'm playing NFS No Limits and 2 days after I've rooted my phone I can't play that game at all, it's so slow and unresponsive that I have to restart my phone and the phone is too hot as well.

I didn't had that problem before root, the game was flowing like river :)

Hi again guys, I don't know is this forum dead, nobody posting anything here.. Anyway just to report that even if Magisk is used for root my phone becomes unusable when try to play NFS No Limits just 2 days after rooting. I've reflashed ftf and re-rooted my phone and could use it for 2 days with all apps and now again System UI is crushing every time I ran NFS. It has never happened before root, I've played this game for 3 months every day without lagging or crashes. Can someone give me some advice please?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Nomgastro:
Prettysimple detail but my power button was busted so I couldn't enter recovery to wipe userdata. Using fastboot format userdata works too. Then you can reboot into recovery with adb.

And then you can edit system/usr/mtk-kpd.kl to remap the power button. just change key 211 FOCUS to key 211 POWER for soft press, alternatively you can change key 212 to remap it to hard press (shutter button)

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, there is a small difference on low light and almost no difference in outdoor. Tested on 2 devices at the same time (one locked and one not locked). Screen enhancement is nothing more than different RGB settings so you can do the same with a RGB editor app ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Cheers for this :good:

Low light shots were never that great for me anyway and my 55 year old eyes are unable to discern any real difference in the quality. :laugh:

I have four Sony Xperia's XA, C4, L1 (All MediaTek) and a old ZL (Qualcomm) . When Unlocking the bootloader on all these devices I see no real difference at all.

I don't buy into the "Sony echo system" so I cant comment on any Sony Specific stuff like Playstion etc as the only things I keep are Music and Album and both seem to work just fine.

To be honest I don't think any of my music movies or documents must be have DRM attached as I have not come across a single one that will not play :silly:

I believe there could be some issues with casting to the TV but my TV lacks this facility so I do not use it and can't test it. :(

It would nice to have a definitive list of what breaks after unlocking the BL and the DRM keys been wiped (probably not much would be my best guess). :confused:

Edit 2: I already figured out how to put the Marshmallow firmware, and btw, do I really have to backup DRM key? I'm confused with the "downgrade to marshmallow".
