Not true if you're willing to void the warranty and risk the issues in OTA upgrades. Not THAT far from how Verizon sees things, in some ways.

The *nix aspects of that thing are amazing. Unlock it and aim it at the internet and get MENUS of things to load with no "where's the cab file" or "how do I install this thing" issues.

A super-geek at the office got one and had all that stuff going while still running over WiFi (I guess, since he hadn't activated it yet). Impressive looking stuff if you're *nix savvy.

OpenBSD is indeed powerful and i would rather have THAT on my XDA II instead of WM6 on an iPhone.

The iPhone is a piece of useless crap unless you jailbreak it, and that does not conform to my understanding of freedom & flexibility.

In WM6 i just drop CAB's onto my Memory Card, execute it and then i'm good.

Maybe i could have looked over these shortcomings if the price was REASONABLE... which it's not.

I can get a TyTN II here in Germany for half the Price of the iPhone (around 160 Euros) with a contract.

If you try to get the iPhone without a contract, then it rips a 999 Euro Hole in your Pocket... and before i do that, i'll just save my Money for a TyTN II.

untrue. in Herne a guy sells iphones without contracts for 450 €.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SomethingWicked:
All I was saying when I started this thread is the iphone hardware is better than anything we have on the market now, and I like using WM6 because it's so flexable and you can have some real fun with it, and I'd like to join the two. If you enjoy your iphone the way it is, then this thread isn't for you...

Impossible? Compatability issues? HA! Me thinks not!!! That's what *DRIVERS* are for. They just need to be written, that's all. Good grief... WM6 is SOFTWARE, and so is iphone OSX. If some hardware, or firmware or software concept works under one, it can BE MADE TO work under the other. Just takes some imagination, some want-to, and ignore they nay-sayers.

No! Not the interface... THE ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM!!! And while we're at it, lets make a totally new interface, like HTC's TouchFlo, so it's not so crappy, ey?

MY POINT EXACTLY!!! Thanks dude :)

Anyway, I for one would love to run WM6 on the iphone, and no, I wouldn't skin it like an iphone. I don't want my WM6 pda to look like an iphone, even if it is one. I'd much rather see a totally new solution, like HTC did with the Touch, only way better than the Touch or the iphone. Not impossible... :) Y'all take care now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rorydaredkign:
mate. if the best developers here, who ahve years and years of experience cant write drivers for the kaiser and other similar devices hardware video acceleration, when if im honest, theyve been working on pretty similar devices for years.... how on earth are they meant to write drivers for an unknown chipset unknown processor, a touchscreen which no windows mobile device uses and a bunch of other stuff...

and its not like an iphone developer rather then a wm developer could write the drivers, because

a) the platform is very young, closed and nobody has much experience even writing programs for it, let alone drivers.

b) why would they want to, all iphone owners are fanboys and hate wm just because its wm.

Plus..... even though the real osx has been ported to pc's, it doesnt have many drivers at all, no wlan drivers and many other things missing... And, pc driver writing is so much more established than ppc writing, but they cant write drivers for the full osx, how will it be easy to write them for a downsized osx...?

Im not setting out to flame, its just to point out that its not exactly commonplace to port an os with full compatibility to another device which was before incompatible...

Any option for updating without unlocking bootloader and without using computer.

Thanks

You can flash beta ROM using the updater app .

i already try changing different roms but still it doesn't fix it.

my question is, is ghost touch is also possible when it comes to tempered glass? i haven't change mine about a year already, i have read some articles that changing or removing your tempered glass might fix it, is it true? :confused:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Manuel Lobos:
Hi!

A couple of days ago I opened the bootloader of the Xperia since I had left the update of xposed and wanted to try it, I did not think to do the backup of the DRM and once opened I started to uninstall Xperia applications that, in short, did not use. Now Play store does not work or I can install a ROM stock with NewFlasher and I assume that recovering the DRM is impossible...

Now, at least I want to install a AOSP or other ROM that works, any help?

(My english is so bad, sorry)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] N1ghtr08d:
1: You're posting this is completely the wrong section. There is a forum for Q&A.

2: The answer to your dilemma is, you can use newflasher to restore the stock OS. There is no custom roms available for this device... Yet. Hopefully that'll change.

3: You were never able to back up there DRM keys of the XZ1. There is no method for backing them up but there is a DRM check bypass so you end up with a fully functioning device as if you had backed them up but in reality you have no backup of them.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Manuel Lobos:
Excuse me, I'm new to XDA, is there any way to move the post?

and in relation to the problem, how could you install the stock ROM and bypass the DRM?

with Newflasher, it detects my device, but gives me this message "vid: 0X0FCE GDP: 0xb00b".

Thanks for the help!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] N1ghtr08d:
Don't worry about moving the post. If it's a problem then one of the admins will move it. You need to install the drivers for the phone. Newflasher will give you the option to create drivers. Create them then boot the phone into bootloader mode and in Windows open the device manager and look for the phone in bootloader mode then update the drivers from the file created by newflasher.

After that, newflasher will run correctly.

Once you flash the stock os then install TWRP and then flash the DRM fix.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Manuel Lobos:
thank's a lot!! I have already installed the stock ROM and TWRP, one last question where do I find DRM fix for the xz1? Now I'm seeing that there are for other Xperia devices, but not for the XZ1.

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Hello there. I own bp2 since last year. So in order to avoid lags and poor battery performance im gonna write this guide.

So thanks to this i achieved a new phone, without battery drain, a very good battery and cpu temp, and almost root access.

These modifications are made on 3.0.14 ROM, I dont know if this works if your blackphone runs another version.

You can install 3.0.14 here

1. First of all you need to flash TWRP. Download and instructions here

2. Once flashed do not reboot system, type

fastboot reboot

and press vol+ to enter twrp.

3. Now it will asks you to allow modifications, NEVER do that, always press "Keep Read Only" because you will get bootloop if you mount system as rw.

More info about that here

4. Now flash magisk, then reboot and install magisk apk. Download from here

NOTE: I dont know why but you need a microsd card in order to flash files, because twrp cant mount /data

NOTE 2: At this point you dont have su BUT you can install magisk modules (yes, xposed too).

Now lets give BP2 Pixel's style.

5. Download this script to remove all Google stuff, yes, just do it. I recommend the EXTREME one.

6. Flash it trough recovery and wipe chache/dalvik. do not reboot yet.

7. Now lets flash Gapps again, updated and modular. Just go to this page and select your desired package. I recommend AROMA not only because you install what you need, but you can remove stock apps (calculator, fmradio, stock email, etc). http://opengapps.org/

8. Now, yes, you can boot system.

9. I also made this script to remove all SilentCircle stuff. Just flash it.

NOTE 3: I wrote this script before removing gapps and that things i explained, so let me know wichs apps still get installed and i will add to the script. Also let me know what apps you want to remove.

Screenshots:

Updating...
[Android General] loaded2107:
Nice work.

Does this stop the phone checking update servers?
[Android General] chape199:
Yeah It removes all blackphone apps, but you can modify the script
[Android General] carlosinf:
great work although I have encountered a problem in the pixel laucher that gives me error
[Android General] notelinos:
script not ok

hello. when i flash your script my phone goes on bootloop

i flash it trought TWRP cause my phone cant see any microsd card

i thing the sd slot of my phone have problem

but my phone goes bootloop after flash BP2_Bloatware

can you sent me any sugestion? Thanks a lot
[Android General] storkinsj:
But how is the phone?

About to spring for a BP2 but ... just out of curiosity:

The reason to own this phone is for the sandboxing and some of the applications that monitor and block application permissions. If you're removing those just to have a fast android phone ... not sure why you bought this one. The camera isn't even any good.

I just want to run basically unmodified. 2 years and many updates have passed since [MENTION=7915847]polartux[/MENTION] talked about battery draining Apps and just curious how the latest OS is? Also if I want to install applications I have developed myself (or get a couple off of the google app store) can I assume that's possible? Preciously LITTLE information about those things online. And I have emailed sales multiple times never got a single response. Kind of scary lol.

So :

-can I do ADK dev on this thing?

-has the stock OS gotten better?

-Can I install pandora (or whatever)?

Cheers!

I am having a problem, every time I try and install Magisk thro' TWRP I get "failed to verify whole file signature" and "signature verification failed", I can install BP2 9, 10, 11 and 14 zips without any problems. Bloatware zip also throws up the same messages. may need a step by step instruction. As before TWRP is installed and BP2 11 doe's not brick the phone, not sure what 14 will do, thought it would brick the phone. Many thanks
[Android General] chape199:
Hi, i dont use the bp2 anymore since past year but i remember that you have to flash the zips from external sdcard, never use twrp to flash files trough internal. Maybe thats the problem. Hope ive helped you.

To unlock the bootloader I suppose, but how?
[Android General] speed_boy:
settings

developer options

oem unlocking - on

restart phone

hold volume down (bootloader mode)

connect usb and do command from PC:

fastboot oem unlock-go

## Your DATA will be DELETED ### make backup

I personally have another problem. I can't see TWRP.

Just black screen.

BP2 boot to TWRP

Hi All,

I have read several thread and web pages on how to root, install twrp, rom etc and I can not get it to work.

I was able to update the BP2 to 3.0.14 from .9

All I want to do is change to a custom rom.

I did the following:

-enable USB debugging

-enable oem unlock

-installed platform tools on PC

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot devices - phone is there

-fastboot oem unlock-go

-reboot - phone appears to be unlocked

-fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

>Sending 'boot.img' (17392 KB) OKAY [ 0.545s]

>Booting OKAY [ 0.040s]

>Finished. Total time: 0.596s

-fastboot reboot

reboots to blank screen

Do over, and when fastboot reboot, I hold down Volume+

still get blank screen

Any ideas?
[Android General] speed_boy:
It's because the screen not supported by TWRP.

When you run TWRP you should see all your files in windows by USB cable, right? Hope you put SD card in it.

So you are the same boat like me.

ROOT still doesn't work for me btw, but i have a few commands:

0) run twrp (probably it disappeared for you and stock recovery back, so i'm running it like that in download mode:

fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.4.0-0-bp2.img

1) open shell: adb shell

in the shell:

for install magisk:

twrp install /external_sd/Magisk-v21.1.zip

you have to have this file on sd card okay? =)

To rill bloatware:

twrp install /external_sd/BP2_Bloatware.zip

To kill google stuff will be not so easy because it will ask you questions on the screen.

So i've repacked it to force version without questions (will attach my version here)

twrp install /external_sd/G-Killer_v3_forced.zip

Then you need to install open gapps

twrp install /external_sd/open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20201113.zip

If you want to decrypt DATA partition then:

cat /etc/fstab

look for numbers for your DATA partition

then do format:

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p33

your end will be different possibly.

Then disable dm verify:

twrp install /external_sd/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip

take it here: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

and final reboot:

reboot

Anyway ROOT just simply doesn't work. I was fighting with it a lot of hours :)

tried super su also without any luck.

Hope it helps you somehow.
[Android General] David_h99:
Thanks for response.

When I do fastboot devices, it shows thone

Once i do the fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.4.0-0-bp2.img command, it reboots and blank screen.

When I do adb shell, i get "adb.exe: no devices/emulators found"

I do adb devices, and it shows no devices attached

I do have installed "Google Nexus ADB interface" device installed

It is general question.

Open device manager.

Find your device.

Update driver, manually, browse ... choose folder with another driver.

The Golden Rule...

Hello.. :cool:

It's a 5v/2a.. and there is nothing that is going to change that.

If you stick with the charger that came with the device, you should have no issues simply charging it whenever you slumber.

It will not "Overcharge" and shorten the life of your battery.

The biggest mistake users make is trying to force a higher V/A charger down their deivices throat.. ;)

If you employ some of the features available to you via Power Saving options.. unless you are a Heavy gamer / movie watcher, you should be making it through a day... I'm averaging 7 SOT in 16 h powered up.. I'm @ 3h 41m SOT and 68% battery for example right now..

I found a way around the annoying "Error 402" when trying to apply a 3rd party/non theme store theme!

Steps I used for success:

1) Root with Magisk.

2) Download Root Explorer or a root file manager of your choice.

3) With Root Explorer mount system R/W, go to /system/build.prop, open build.prop in text editor, and change ro.build.type=user to ro.build.type=userdebug

4) Now download Miui Theme Editor and import 3rd party theme, save, and install.

5) Open theme app and apply theme with no errors.
