[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] usmaak:
From my experience, I can tell you two NOT to get.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TS2GYP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Neither one of these would work for more than a minute with my very thing Tech21 case. A couple of times I managed to position the phone JUST RIGHT and I got them to work, but they were way too picky. They might work ok without a case, but I didn't try because there's just no way that I'm going to remove my phone from its case every time I want to charge.

I ended up price matching Amazon on the Samsung convertible charger at Best Buy and got $20 off, which was nice. At least it works. It hasn't dropped charging on me once.

I also got this:

This thing is really cool. If you have a bunch of devices that you charge with cables, it's perfect. I just throw my phone down on it when I go to bed and it's ready when I get up. Very handy, and the wireless charger is 3 coil, making pretty difficult NOT to find a good spot to charge.

are you bored of your iPhone yet? are the features getting old? do you miss windows mobile? Do you have anything to look forward to?

should have kept your Kaiser...

I'd rather have a kaiser of an iphone. Although, I'm pretty sure people are able to make some kind of software for the iPhone now. hacking it or something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
I had the iPhone and I came to the kaiser. Its called jailbreaking, once you do that an app called installer shows up and you install apps from there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] we3zy:
1.1.3 is full of apps now. I actually use the iPhone a little bit more than the Kaiser today. Just because I wanted to see what's all the fuss was about with 1.1.3. But hey iPhone and Kaiser are both great devices, that can not be compared.

You can compare a Kaiser vs. Touch, or iPhone vs. Prada. Both are very different devices. Those who say same old functions, what do you mean same ole functions, both devices are packed with apps.

i had 1.. also my uncle had 1..

we played... we had fun!!!...

but....

then it came sooo repetitive...

the same things always...

then i sold it...

and my uncle too =) ...

haha..

is just funny.. i had both devices..

well i have my kaiser because it has more apps, productivity and some Business Man Style.. iphone was for me more like a psp than a pda =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
*too the first 2 repliers**

i made this thread not to gain any new apps or prosper from, but just for talk. to hear opinions and compare the 2. yea there are other threads like it, but i dont find this thread pointless, perhaps it's just the wording I used.

so it appears most people went with the iphone and then they realized everything was the same. yea there are apps for Mac OS but not enough to make you wanna keep the phone. the emulators for the iphone arent that great either, all screen and not really stable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Isaygarcia:
ok.. for that is the off-topic so..

maybe a "Social Room" will solve things like this

i.e: a social room in kaiser section for kaiser users =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
yes, but it will have 500303939 pages, which would get annoying...

ive seen another forum where on the front page there is some sort of IM thing, that would be nice. users just talk on the front page.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Isaygarcia:
yes that would be great!!!.. it can be done with java.. can we do this mods? or admins?

[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
Update: I used Linux machine instead of Windows and the latest kernel works now.

Kernel modifications:

default.prop modified

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

Requirement:

1. Your L1

2. Installed drivers (Sony so0112 for both ADB and fastboot)

3. Your phone has to be bootloader unlocked

Warning: your phone will be wiped including DRM and there's no backup solution for Android 7

4. Magisk downloaded and installed

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

5. This modified kernel (sorry, I don't know how to make TWRP so no recovery at this time)

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329056251 (patched with Magisk)

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620760970 (modified but not patched with Magisk)

Kernel is for G3313, but it should work with other variations.

6. Working ADB

Instructions:

1. enable your phone debug options. Go to About Devices >>> Build Number and hit 7 times until you see Developers Options. Go there to enable USB Debugging and Allow OEM Unlock.

2. plug in your phone and make sure ADB is working

adb devices

If you don't see it, go to Device Manager and see whether Sony so0112 ADB driver installed. If it's working, go to 3

3. copy the modified kernel to your phone (make sure your phone USB is in file transfer mode) internal memory Downloads folder

4. install and open Magisk and install and patch boot file and locate the downloaded file.

5. locate patched kernel from internal memory /Magiskmanager/ and copy patched_boot.img and copy to your host computer.

6. go to command prompt and copy your ADB folder address and open your file explorer and copy the patched kernel there (e.g. Downloads)

7. use this command to go to fastboot mode

adb reboot fastboot

If you never unlock the bootloader, you have to write down your phone IMEI and go to https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and follow the instruction.

8. if your bootloader unlocked, enter the following command

fastboot flash boot

and drag the patched kernel and press enter.

9. enter

fastboot reboot

10. once you're back to the system, enter Magisk Manager again to check boot status. You may be prompted to install a module for Safety Net.

11. your phone is rooted. Done

[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
It's pretty straightforward.

After the installation, copy the downloaded boot image to your phone and let Magisk get the zip and patch your image file.

Once the image patched, copy the patched image back to host computer and flash in fastboot.

You can flash back to 100% stock using flashtool. There's a problem with kernel and probably something is missing.

6. Power off the phone and flash ONLY "BOOT_DELIVERY" from a Marshmallow firmware with Flashtool ( exclude all other patitions), you must only see

"boot_delivery.xml" in the "Content" column.

AND

18. Power off the phone again and repeat step 6 with your actual Nougat firmware or the phone will not detect Sim Card(s)

Don't try with G3311!!

I tried this with my G3311 and it put it into a boot loop (couldn't even turn device off or enter flash/fastboot mode) I had to take out the battery and replug it just to get into flash mode so I could restore to official Software :(

This will most likely work for everyone else that had a bootloop after trying this :good:
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
Which kernel did you use?

You should try with the one before patched with Magisk, and let Magisk patch it for you, and flash that one patched by yours.

There may be something going wrong during the process while I read he has no problem (with reception) and you got bootloop.
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterMasher:
I realised where I went wrong it's was all my mistake so my last post was incorrect I used Sony Mobile Flasher to unlock bootloader instead of enabling it in developer settings and then flashed my device with your latest update you commented earlier and it's finally worked :D:victory:
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] flyyyguy:
Great work on the boot.img trying to get it working on my L1 now. I'm missing something tho.

Unlocked bootloader

ADB

Fastboot

Downloaded files

I have to hold volume up while inserting USB to enter fastboot (confirmed by Blue led)

When I executed fastboot code and drag images file over I get an error about unknown directory or it'll just rerun the fastboot help screen

.... Wait for it..... Yeah I see I screwed up. Give it another go later after work
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterMasher:
Try what I did and download Sony Mobile Flasher and press the 'BLU' (Bootloader unlock) button just to make sure your boot loader really is unlocked or maybe you just enabled OEM unlock in Dev settings but didn't use the tool mentioned above to correctly unlock the bootloader. If that's not the case then did you flash the latest boot image that has been posted in the comments by OP
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
I did bootloader unlock using fastboot method

It isn't just "fastboot oem unlock". Instead, you have to enter fastboot command as directed with given unlocked code.
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterMasher:
Mingkee is right but I just used Sony Mobile Flasher to unlock bootloader instead works just as well with the click of a button

[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagelis1608:
Since you obviously don't know what you are doing, and can't follow simple instructions, it would be best if you didn't try it, so that you don't break anything.

If you still want to try it, at least tell us what you don't understand.

Because it says Android 4.2 if the Sony comes with version 7.0 tell me if it also works for this
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Are you sure you are in the correct thread :confused:

The Sony Xperia L1 only uses Android 7.0

The Sony Xperia L is a completely different phone to the L1
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TooMuchSloeGin:
A bit late to the party... I just received an almost new L1 and want(ed) to root it so here goes. The instructions in post #1 are fine, my problem is that the Magisk patched boot image is not on any mirror that androidfilehost can find. :(

I've found the other patched boot image (ie the one w/o Magisk) and I am now wondering whether this will allow rooting as it is or whether I temporarily have to install the TWRP recovery image to the boot partition to get the Magisk zip installed.

EDIT: Answering my own question: the Magisk patched image (mpi) can be created from the non-Magisk patched image (nmpi) by copying the nmpi to the device, with Magisk Manager installed, have this patch the nmpi and copy the patched image (which now is the mpi) back for flashing.

Related question: how can I create a backup image of the original boot partition? Can I do that with adb? (I am on Linux so a Windows app will not work.)
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
See this thread Here https://xdaforums.com/xa1/how-to/april-2019-ta-backup-unlocking-t3922565 if your still lock and gain temp root to backup the ta and boot.

If Rooted use

adb shell

su

then use dd to back it up but remember stock is a 64 bit elf file not a image file.

dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.elf
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TooMuchSloeGin:
Thanks [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION] for that. The L1 is my first Sony (I've been using mostly Motos so far) so there's a certain learning curve:).

Actually, I am on the fence as to rooting the L1 because I need banking apps and the like. So far Magisk has done a fine job with my Motos but I am always expecting some trouble on that front;). So the temp rooting method you linked to certainly looks promising. I don't need root per se on all my phones, it is just that so far I'm doing firewall with AFWall+ and backups with Titanium (there are other things where root is a good thing to have but these are the two main apps). I have played around with NetGuard and that looks good so far, so I am left with backing up/restoring stuff. I will have to refresh my adb commands to see what I can do there.

If I save the boot partition with dd and later write it back with the inverse dd command, the image format should be irrelevant, right?

And do you happen to know the path for the /ta partition?
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Use MTK-SU to get temp root then use my dd backup helper script

Thread is HERE for instructions and info

https://github.com/bigrammy/dd-backup-helper-script/blob/master/dd-backup.sh

New to Sony then read the info HERE it will save you a lot of head scratching and google time and I created the thread for just such as you. :good:

Sure you can dd back the boot or just use FlashTool or xflasher to flash the Stock ROM parts choice would be yours. :o
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TooMuchSloeGin:
Again thanks a lot, [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION]! Those pointers and hints will help a lot, appreciate the work you've put into this!

As to the tmp root method... wow! Kudos to [MENTION=8132642]diplomatic[/MENTION]... it really does what it says on the tin w/o the need to unlock/change bootloaders etc.

I am a great lover of CLI so having a tmp root in an adb shell session will enable me to do or script most of the things I otherwise needed root for (ie copying the firefox password/login files from one phone to another... easy but you need root:angel:).

Am I right in assuming that /data is my playground and no change there will ever trigger this dm-verity stuff?

Now all I need is a nano binary for the MT SoC and perhaps try to find a better shell than sh and all is well:D.
[Sony Xperia L1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Thanks for the appreciation. :o

Play around in /data all you want as only /system and possibly /oem are dm-verity :good:

Obviously boot and recovery are a no go with the bootloader still locked and on the L1 the recovery is disabled so no way to run TWRP from the recovery partition. :(

You can however flash TWRP to the boot partition and it will boot when unlocked.

You can then boot into TWRP and flash a boot.img to the boot partition then flash Magisk then reboot.

Obviously TWRP will be gone on reboot but you should then be fully rooted with dm-verity gone :laugh:
