[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackfyre:
Hi Everyone,

I'm visiting Iraq, and my uncle has a dual-Sim Note 5. Model SM-N9208, so I used SamMobile to download the latest ROM but it failed to install. Upon further research, I realised I needed to check the the CSC Code to download the one specific for his phone. I checked and his CSC Code is XSG. Now XSG is for the Model number SM-N920C which is from UAE. Which makes sense because Iraqi stock is likely from UAE. However, the phone he has which is a dual sim is only available in South East Asian countries according to SamMobile. I have absolutely no clue which firmware to download to update his phone from 6.0.1 to 7.0

Thank you for your help in return, for whoever replies.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerA99:
So which phone are you trying to upgrade? The N920C or the dual sim one?

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

Also if he has the N9208 then you should get the firmware for the N9208

How do I turn off the progurd obfuscation after I get it in apk? How can I disable obfuscation progurd so that the source can be readable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deadmoto:
If you are a developer, then you can disable ProGuard in your build.gradle file by changing minifyEnabled true to minifyEnabled false.

Otherwise, I have bad news for you - given that Java code can be easily decompiled, ProGuard was created to make decompiled code as meaningless as possible.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BitterBuffaloh:
Hello, my Nexus 5X has bootlooped for the second time and I'm on my second version. Sort of getting sick of this and looking for a new 4.5-5" screen phone. I was looking at the X Compact or XZ1 Compact. My biggest qualifier for what I want in a phone is something that is rootable where I can run Adblock to block ads. I don't really mind about anything else, I just don't want to see ads. I was wondering what the current status is on unlocking bootloader, rooting, and running rooted on the Sony XZ1 Compact? I appreciate any information, thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
Well, first of all, if u r really interested in an Xperia, u can can forget the easy life of modding of a Nexus. Not that is impossible but no near at levels of a Nexus, One Plus, Motorola or Pixels...

I'm sure sooner or later it will be possibile to Root without losing our Drm keys, but it will be a pain in the ass. At least compared at what u r used to with your Nexus.

And by the way, there are no-root ways for your ads problem...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BitterBuffaloh:
Ah, I see. I was just reading about the DRM Keys problem. And right now there's no way to Root, Install F Droid, Install Adaway? I know development is probably in the early stage, since the phone is relatively new. Maybe I should check back in a few months :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] NadavCE:
There's a beta release of LineageOS, and it has a DRM patch (so everything should be working). If you still want to stay stock, try DNS66. It's not as good as Adaway, but it's better than nothing...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
... Or adguard
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] burtallicus:
hello guys ....few questions here .... as im still on Z3C at the moment planing to get a XZ1C so i cannot test myself these...yet

Can this substratum theme change the battery icon to something like the one on the stock LP or MM .... i think is the best looking icon (with included + for stamina ) not the stock android one ???

are the quick settings customable ? like the on on zc3 xposed seraj mods ? or even close ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Is the colour of the battery icon your top consideration before buying this phone ?:laugh:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] burtallicus:
no, but since this phone cannot be properly rooted yet (TA backups and whole stuff) i want to know what are the available customization option

and i tend to stick as much as possible with a familial layout..

C;mon dont tell me you like the stock android battery more than sony one ... and you would not use it if it was available

so ... is this doable via stratum ? how about the quick settings dropdown ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I use Substratum, yes, I'm pretty sure you can get a mod for your battery if you look, but it's not something I've even thought about.

Yes, you can customise your quicksettings.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] burtallicus:
Ok, thanks for the info....
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

Has anyone had the oportunity to compare XZ1C vs XC SOT?

I am thinking in replacing my stupid Galaxy S8 and get a smaller phone.

Trying to decide between XC or XZ1C. I simply loved the battery life of my good old Z3 Compact :)

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Anderew:
Not sure about the X compact, but I'm loving the battery on my XZ1 compact. Easily 7 hours SOT over a full day of use with no power saving options enabled. Probably more if I turned off location/used stamina mode. I had a oneplus 3t before that got half the battery life with the same usage. The XZ1 compact is more powerful with higher end features and will be supported longer by Sony, I'd recommend getting it over the older model if you can afford it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Horst the Animal:
For me the xz1c have the best battery life i ever had, I have 6h sot and 48h standby with only one charge. I used it as normally, some social media aps, all-time WiFi on, location off and adaptive screenlight, chrome for internet browsing and something like that. I really like the xz1c !
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] lagittaja:
Haven't compared XZ1C and XC but on my XZ1C I can quite comfortably hit 7.5-8.5h SoT on a full charge over a days worth of use or about 12-13 hours. That's a really heavy hitter day for me.

But due to habit of plugging my phone in every night and taking my usage patterns into mind, I haven't had many "two day cycles" since getting the XZ1C to say anything definitive but with 36-48h standby times you should be able to get to the 5h SoT mark or beyond..

As far as the XC vs XZ1C goes, I wouldn't even bother with the XC if the XZ1C is on sale or for a competetive price.

I bought mine for 399€ with VAT or, funnily enough, about 399$ without VAT. At original asking price of 599€, I wouldn't have even considered buying this.

Seeing that you're from Portugal, you should be seeing similar prices as Europe does in general, XC should be around 270-300€ while XZ1C around 360-400€.

I don't know your financial situation but in my opinion the 100 euros or so you save by buying the XC instead of XZ1C isn't worth it. XZ1C came straight with Oreo so Treble out of the box which means updates will be somewhat easier for Sony in the future.

I don't know if XC got Treble when it got Oreo but highly unlikely as even the XZ's didn't get it (yeah, I know, it's optional for devices updating to Oreo). And it started from Marshmallow. Will it get Android P? I'm not gonna hold my breath, it has already seen it's two major Android version updates which seems to be the standard. And at this point it is already 18 months into the usual 24 month support cycle we see with Android phones.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the XC has the SD650..

It's built on an aging 28nm HPm manufacturing process where as the SD835 in the XZ1C is built on a much newer 10nm manufacturing process which is more efficient.

Then there's the less obvious stuff: SD650 uses LPDDR3 while SD835 uses LPDDR4X. Guess what, LPDDR4X is much more efficient.

As well as eMMC vs UFS. UFS obviously has higher performance but with it comes better efficiency as well.

Just for reference, you can take a look at Futuremark's database, in particular the PCMark Work 2.0 numbers.

https://www.futuremark.com/hardware/mobile/Sony+Xperia+XZ1+Compact/review

https://www.futuremark.com/hardware/mobile/Sony+Xperia+X+Compact/review

Take the battery life numbers with lots of salt as people run the benchmark at different screen brightnesses and so on. But comparing these two to each other isn't that bad all things considered but still, take them with at least a grain of salt.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] charliebigpot:
Just bought mine here in the US, at 430$ to replace my Samsung S7. Can't wait.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
WOOW! :eek:

That is a very nice answer! No arguments against such detailed answer. Thank you.

I have no financial issues, came from a galaxy S8 and was happy with it quality wise, but found that the device is too big for my hand.

I decided i'm buying the xZ1C (it's arround 650€ in Portugal), but i'm afraid if i'm going to be disappointed with the quality of the phone.

With my Z3C had problems with the speaker and the screen, and don't want that anymore.

I'm no Samsung fanboy, and for me, Samsung is like Apple, a trend hype, but with Samsung phones never had any hardware problem.

I'm not a heavy user, some social apps, half an hour of browsing and gaming.

And it seems that xZ1C will be the last compact phone i'll buy. xZ2C is larger and thicker.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] martynas:
No sense paying 650 EUR for XZ1C.

You can register in Amazon.de (most of amazon.de page can be selected in English or may be Spain has it's own amazon.is?) and buy for 369-420EUR (need to sort which seller will be delivering to Portugal. 420 EUR is amazon.de selling themselves and they normally deliver all over EU). That will add another 20-30 EUR max.

I am from z3 compact. The screen is much better on XZ1C (bought from amazon.de and delivered to Lithuania). I even would say close to Samsung Amoleds...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
I will hi-jack this thread only to ask two things.

How is the overall performance of this device?

I am currently using an Axon 7 and loving it but I feel like the SOT and size isn't optimal for me overall.

I tend to listen to music around 2-4 hours a day and have data on so I can surf the web, which is usually 1-2 through the whole day and lastly I tend to play simple games via retroarch and Fate Grand Order.

So basically SoT for me is 3h at best or 2h. Battery life tends to dip very fast when I have a game ongoing or listen to music+data on.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

For what i have tried in a retail store, comparing with my old galaxy S8, XZ1C is faster and snappier :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tico_ssa:
Hi Guys, first, sorry about my english, i speak from Brazil and found a way to completely block the access to hard reset trough recovery mod in galaxy s8(all variants), but i don't have any clue of how to do it since i'm not a programmer or developer.

in this website:

https://seap.samsung.com/api-refere...trictionPolicy.html#allowFactoryReset(boolean)

Samgung Knox Standard SDK allow us user's to lock the access to hard reset trough recovery making the life of thieves a lot more dificcult, it's even possible to lock de combination Keys to force restart the phone, or force shutdown the phone.

I need someone with enough knowledge to activate those functions and help a lot of people here in BRAZIL, since it's one of the most violent countryies on the planet.

How can i put those instruction Samsung show us? how can i block the hard reset trough recovery mod using knox standard sdk? Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks!

Is it possible to pay 200€ more just for the keyboard?

Is there other function or feature that justify this extra payment?

I like very much Tytn but I think that I could live without his keyboard if this should be the only difference.

can u help my choice?

I was wondering what the current status is on unlocking bootloader, rooting, and running rooted on the Sony X Compact? Is there any caveats that I should know about before I jump into the phone? (I noticed that the XZ1 Compact if you root it, it sort of breaks the camera).
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] trewelu:
TL;DR

1. Downgrade to Marshmallow (use xperifirm)

2. Backup TA partition (https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236)

3. Flash Nougat/Oreo if needed

4. Flash boot img with drm fix or ta_poc (read this https://xdaforums.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479)

Same thing happens with x compact. When you unlock bootloader, it wipes TA partition. If TA partition is wiped, it will make camera result bad. Do not unlock bootloader and root yet before backing up TA. TA partition can be backed up using an exploit on Marshmallow. Therefore you need to flash MM stock rom. Then use the tool to backup TA.

If you back up the TA partition, you can flash it back after (will relock the boot loader and wipe data). This is useful if you decide to go fully stock without root. This is also useful if you send your phone to sony for repair.

Two way of fixing camera issue are by using kernel with

1. the drm fix. This by pass drm check. This can be done even if you forgot the TA backup step

2. ta_poc. mount backed up TA partition and link it.
