[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pled:
Hi,

After some hours fighting with windows, drivers, signature (all in a VM), I switched back to Linux/Ubuntu. At least flashtool seems to work better (out of the box), and it asks me to reconnect the device in fastboot mode... But still the same error at the end. It adds "Maybe the OEM is not enabled", but it is of course (double checked).

But what means "Bootloader status : ROOTABLE" ? Did I miss something ?

Can somebody help please ? I contacted Sony support, but they don't support such operation...

Here is the log from flashtool :

I give up ! Tried almost everything (Win7x32, Win8.1x64, Flashtool v0.9.25 & 0.9.23 with ulcode.txt file created in user profile, Ubuntu, adb/fastboot command, from simple package, or Android studio), without any success. Some feedback though about Flashtool :

> Much easier to use the Linux version. On Ubuntu 18.10, it just works out of the box. I can easily flash the latest firmware ("Customized FR" in my case) though I downloaded it with Xperifirm on windows, as I did want to install mono on my Ubuntu desktop. At least I am now running Android 6.0.1.

> With version 0.9.25, I can use UBL button, Flashtool asks first for connect device in Flashboot mode (green light), then asks to disconnect and reconnect in Fastboot mode (blue But same error at the end : FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed). After a reboot, I can see "Rooting status : Unknown" in the service page.

> If I reflash, unknown rooting status is still there. I have to use Flashtool 0.9.23.2 (found link on another xda thread, only for windows) to "relock" the device and get back the "Bootloader unlock allowed : yes".

I don't understand what happens, what is the reason for that... Total mystery to me. There are so many posts about this issue, no one gives a real solution, Sony support does not care.

I am sad to be unable to install LineageOS on my device... Now will look how to "clean" Xperia Android as much as possible. Don't know if this is even possible. :( Don't know if I can root my phone, etc...

Last, why did I buy a Sony Z5C ? was looking for small (4.6") & afordable phone with good camera... Never thought I would be unable to install LineageOS.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonsofquestions:
That does sound frustrating. Have you checked the settings in the developer options? There's one there about "allow oem unlocking". If it's not set, you can't do it from fastboot, so maybe that's your problem? It's worth a try, at the very least.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pled:
Yes, I checked that for sure... Same for "Enable USB debug" and "Allow Unknown sources" in Security options.

Yesterday, as a last try, I follow that thread : I flashed old Lollipop firmware (E5823_32.0.A.6.200), backup TA partition, and tried unlock booloader again : same error FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed).

Probably something changed on Sony side that makes unlocking bootloader impossible ? That's what I think now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonsofquestions:
Hmm, and in the service menu it says bootloader locking is allowed?

I'd be very surprised if Sony changed anything recently (if they even could, on a released phone), and I was able to do it successfully a few weeks back.

What's the error if you use an invalid unlock key? Maybe there's a typo (or request it from Sony again)? I know I'm grasping at straws, but I'm otherwise not sure. I had no difficulties at all...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pled:
Yes, Bootloader is OK, and providing a invalid unlock results in the same error : FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed).

From Sony website, you always get the same number when providing your EMEI.

Note there tones of threads about this issue, and really no clear solution, at least none from what I tried...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minos_cr:
hi man!. Have you figure out how to unlock the bootloader? Same situation over here. This is my 3th xperia but first time facing this issue. Tomorrow I will install win 7 and will see if works
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pled:
Unfortunately no. It is still the same, and I gave up for now, as I tried everything I could.

But I have a last plan : my Z5C is now running Android 6.0.1, which I installed myself using Flashtool & Xperifirm. Actually I got that phone with Android 5.1.1, and no upgrade was available when looking at system parameters, or even the Sony website). So I did it myself, using last package for French in Xperifirm.

And now, when looking at http://www.sonymobile.com/update, providing my EMIE code, it says my phone is up to date and running Android 7.1, which is wrong.

So I contacted Sony support for that, and they asked me to run a System -> Factory settings -> ReInit -> Clear everything. (or something simmilar).

I did not do it, because I am pretty sure this will not work, and I will probably go back to Android 5.1.1.

But I may contact the repair service (http://support.sonymobile.com/fr/repair/) and send my phone back to them asking for Android 7.1. I can complain for that, because my warranty is still valid !

My last hope is that when I will get back the phone from them, totally reinitialized, unlocking may work !! :D

I cannot do it for now, because I am going to move the next 2 months, but will try this when I am back. As I said, this is my last hope, unless someone find a solution to that problem.

Good luck to you, and keep us informed... By the way, which Android version are you running, and what says the Sony update site ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minos_cr:
man, yesterday I was frustrated too. Today, I installed windows 7 (it was a pain in the a**) and flashtool did the job like a champ.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonsofquestions:
I imagine (but can't say for certain) that whatever check Sony is using to display that info is either the last version that "called home" (maybe it needs the Xperia Companion software?), or the latest version that the phone was ever updated to. If you flash an old one with Flashtool (or worse: never connect to the internet with it), how on earth would you expect them to know the right version? Why would it even matter? The OS version is (largely) unrelated to the fastboot version, and shouldn't affect unlocking, other than the "allow oem unlocking" option in the developer settings.

I agree that the factory reset will leave it on the same OS; there's no reason it would upgrade.. I'm not sure why the OS wouldn't show updates available, maybe that customization version never had more releases. But is there any reason not to just download it and flash with Flashtool?

I couldn't find any other threads with people reporting problems - the majority of reports I saw were of successes. Not that I don't believe what you're seeing, mind you, just that I know there have been a lot of people getting things to work without a lot of issues.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pled:
Would be happy to know which Win7 (x32 or x64) and which flashtool version you used. Also if you setup the ulcode.txt file ?

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Well, this is a mystery to me. What I can say is that Sony website displays now :

Votre Xperia Z5 Compact est à jour !

Sortie : 32.2.A.5.11

Informations sur mon Android™

Android™ 7.1 Nougat est publié pour Xperia Z5 Compact. ​

Initially, I got the phone with Version 32.0.A.6.200. So they know somewhere I did an upgrade.

I would be happy to download the 7.1 version, but using Xperifirm, the only one I can find for the French country is the one I got, resulting in Android 6.0.1.

And because I have no knowledge at all on Sony specific things, I did try another firmware : I don't want to brick my phone.

Honestly, I have tried everything I could (Linux, Win, adb, flshtool, x32, x64, ulcode.txt, etc...) will always the same error, despite I agree most of people appears to success at one time. But most of the time without any clear explanation of what happen ! (except ulcode file story).

I read somewhere my problem could be related to the "Customization Version" (1299-1743_R12C in my case). Don't even understand what it could be related to, and how to change it.

What I expect is that Sony repair service will wipe everything on my phone, so that I could unlock it after it that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonsofquestions:
I've personally used both Windows 10 (x64) and Linux. I used the latest version of Flashtool (0.9.25.0) and 0.9.24.4, though I couldn't tell you which combination I used on which OS.

[OS woes]

Let's start from the beginning. What OS are you trying to get to. Why?

Also note that there are multiple download versions in XperiFirm for your 1299-1743, make sure you're taking the right one.

I see 32.2.A.5.11, which it looks like you have (according to the earlier screenshot), which should be Marshmallow.

I also see 32.4.A.1.54, which should be Nougat.

Either should be straightforward to install with FlashTool (it sounds like you installed 5.11 with it?).

In the end, the customization option is mostly some regional differences - language, built-in apps, some VoLTE/fingerprint options for some regions, etc. Nothing significant ... or important if all you want to do is unlock it. That should be completely independent of the OS version.

Downgraing your OS and unlocking the bootloader should both end up resetting your phone/wipe the data.

So you should back up anything you want, and then mess around from there. I also fear the Sony Repair will wipe data, but it s also called "repair" so maybe it will backup/restore some of it. I'm not sure.

It's also possible that something is wonky with the OEM unlock setting, so wiping data will kick it back into working. It can't hurt to try, and is certainly easier than sending in a phone...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] farside420:
Had the phone for about a week now. (Verizon)

Today i tried to activate wifi calling...no good. Factory reset the phone thinking maybe it was an app..still nothing.

I have also noticed that over the past couple of days, the phone has been getting more and more laggy. Not many apps on the phone at all. No different than the apps on my V20 which never really had a lag issue. The phone seems to struggle as well when opening messaging or opening a url from an email...sometimes it will not even load the page. It just stays on the current page that chrome already had open.

Starting to feel like there are some bugs LG needs to fix..

Im swapping the phone out this weekend for another one...Main reason for the swap is the phone not activating wifi calling..that def seems like a hardware issue.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but if you have the brightness on 100% or any brightness for that matter, if you look at the phone from any angle besides straight at it, it gives the whole screen a blue tint...Samsungs do not do that with their oled panels.

Symptom of the Poled?

Anyone else experiencing annoying bugs with the phone??

Settings/Developer Options/tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother faster. if root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! If LG G6 gets Android 7.1.2 , the performance should improve smoother over Android 7.0 just like the LG V30 is incredibly smooth and fast due to SD 835. Android Oreo 8.0 should have faster boot times on powering up. LG flagships gets Oreo by the end of this year (November or December)

Can somebody please help me out here...

I tried restoring Pixel Launcher through my Titanium Backup, but it still has the new Pixel 2 layout! I tried downloading and installing the APK for the OG Pixel Launcher, and it won't install, says corrupt package every time. I even tried a flashable OG Pixel Launcher zip in TWRP, it flashed but it still has the new Pixel 2 layout when I startup the phone!

The thing is.... I went to the app to get the program and Magisk wouldn't install the program on it's end. Took a shot and installed the apk (SDK 25), then installed the 88.1 version shown in the picture (now 88.2) rebooted and waited to "upgrade" itself.... But here it is plain as day.

Hi All,

This is my first post here...

Has anybody using the Iphone dialpad skin experienced this issue?

You call one of those places where you need to "Press 1 for xxxx, 2 for xxxx", so you touch on "Keypad" to bring the leypad up and enter the number, then when you click on "Call Status" to bring the "Mute", "Speakerphone", etc menu up and the phone hangs completely, you can still hear the conversation, but can't do anything else...

This only happened to me while the Iphone dialpad skin was installed, tried many others and they all work fine, a shame as the Iphone one is really nice.

I've searched the forums but no mention of this issue anywhere.

Thanks,

Fernando.

And upon further research and trying various other dialers, I can attest that the only way that the Opal dialer works on Kaiser/Tilt WM6.5 is via Anryl ROM (per other user reports) as of today 6/5/09.
