[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
The DRM keys on your phone are lost forever when you unlock it. The good news is that Xperiafix fools the phone into thinking that DRM is in place, so all the higher functions still work as stock.

DRM is broken or fixed, the camera is broken or fixed, it's common misconception to think that there's a half way point where there are bad or distorted pictures or loss of quality or service..

The down side to rooting is that updates are no longer automatic and any firmware update has to be completed manually, which involves flashing multiple files.

I have root on my XZ1 compact (thanks to sToRm//'s Xperiafix) everything works perfectly, but the proccess of chasing the various firmware updates is so tiresome that I have given up.

Xposed will only work on firmware from pre May 2018. So if you have the latest firmware on your phone you will need to use Emma to downgrade your phone to an earier firmware, this isn't so easy. Installing Xposed means that you will fail any sort of security check, don't complain when Googlepay doesn't work.

If you are determined to root your phone I would advise paying $20 for sToRm//'s Xperiafix. It's the simplest way to do it and his version 3 has come along leaps and bounds from the early versions and as long as you get the right drivers (err, no easy task) and can follow instructions, you'll get there.

There are other DRM fix options available, but they involve flashing multiple files and sometime the instructions are not so clear, or support not so good if you fail.

Whichever version of the fix you decide to use, you need to know that the developer is commited to supplying all the modified files for you to reflash every time there is a firmware update.

You can go back to an M build, using Emma, but I'm not sure you'll find ina DRMfix file for an old build and if you do it will be tied to a particular firmware/region/version number. This will be the most difficult bit.

There is no backing up the DRM!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] sam.foro:
Hello,

It does not matter if you use xperifix or another, both work, the only thing that one is automatic and the other is manual.

Everything works once "Deceived the DRM", everything.

There is no software or system currently that allows you to save your DRM, even if you download MM.

Using xposed is not secure or stable. It also does not work in all versions.

With flashtool you can manually update to the desired version. Because it is newer it does not mean it is better, it will have security patches and some other change not communicated. Some versions work better than others.

Cheers ?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] sToRm//:
That's not true. The files offered by other developers are very outdated. These are the files I developed and offered a long time ago in the first versions of XperiFIX. XperiFIX uses a different method since 2.0 and is flexible in terms of firmware and devices. It does not need a pre-customized kernel and does not depend on Sony's different firmware configurations.

What's more: Sony has made changes in the meantime, as you can already see on newer devices. XperiFIX adapts to these changes and will be able to handle the changed security features in the future. The outdated files will most likely stop working. It could even come to a brick because the old modified system file is no longer compatible with the changes. In another method, you could also find that the fix was only partially because it is integrated wrongly.

So there are very big differences in the methods. XperiFIX is now also so far that you can basically fix any device with current firmware versions (manual fix).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] sam.foro:
Thanks for the clarification, in your changelog you do not indicate anything of the mentioned here. And the truth is a great job but I think it's too expensive.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
It's worth the cost compared to the other (non supported) and much more difficult solutions, that are not kept up to date with firmware rollouts.

Version 3 is so easy to use and requires no knowledge of firmware or TWRP or kernels.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] sam.foro:
Everyone is free to do what they want, the opinion is free and all are respected. If there is demand there is sale.

A user who does not know twrp, kernel or root should not manipulate the terminal, in my humble opinion. Stock is also good.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robez0Rama:
My firs stick is a little over a year old. I have it plugged in and when I watch Netflix or Hulu the show will just pause itself and then when I play it again there will be no sound. I have to get up and unplug it from the HDMI port and plug it back in and then it'll only play for a few minutes before it does it again. Sometimes it'll do it on the home screen when you can hear the "clicking" when going from app to app. My tv is about 8 years old so my question is if it is the firestick, netflix/hulu, or just my tv?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] JazonX:
As mentioned on the topic, Can I convert an Asian U11+ to a Taiwanese one?

I have 401 firmware version, and I need to convert it to the 709... Just because the updates are much faster.

I can do it by changing the MID, but the only thing I want to confirm is whether the two devices have any hardware differences ...
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] allanon:
No hardware difference, only software, if your mid is 2Q4D10000 you can only change cid to obtain your goal, follow this guide:

Originally Posted by Beta_Tester666

1) Download all the relevant files. You'll need:-

a) RUU from https://xdaforums.com/htc...m-ruu-t3741849 (The Taiwanese you need)

b) Hex Editor (I used HxD from https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

c) TWRP from https://github.com/sabpprook/android....2.1-2-ocm.img

2) Unlock your bootloader by going to https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

3) Boot into download mode, connect your phone via USB and run (just for reference):-

fastboot getvar cid

4) Install TWRP by running:-

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-2-ocm.img

5) Boot into TWRP recovery

6) Select Advanced -> Terminal and enter:-

dd if=/dev/block/sdf1 of=/sdcard/sdf1.img

7) On your PC run:-

adb pull /sdcard/sdf1.img

8) Open the image in HxD and locate HTC__XXX (your cid). Replace with HTC__621 (Taiwan cid if I'm not wrong, verify before). Save the updated disk image

9) On your PC run:-

adb push sdf1.img /sdcard

10) Back in TWRP run:-

dd if=/sdcard/sdf1.img of=/dev/block/sdf1

11) Boot into download mode and verify your updated CID by running:-

fastboot getvar cid

12) Prepare an SD card with the RUU in the root of the card, renamed as 2Q4DIMG.zip.

13) Power off phone & insert SD card. Boot back into Fastboot.

14) You should be prompted to install the RUU. Use volume and power to start the process. This will take a long time.

15) Phone should then boot up in WWE mode.

16) At this point you can relock your bootloader by booting back into download mode and entering:-

fastboot oem lock

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] quattro527:
Just curious, is there any reason you want to switch from a WWE/401 to a TW/709? The hardware is the same and can easily be done--but I have found the bands to be near similar, and a 401 will work the same on the major Taiwanese networks (Chunghwa, FET, TWMobile, Vibo, etc). I've found the 401 to pick up LTE and switch bands easier, and also allow better overall "roaming" coverage. Since most of the ROMs out there are 401-based, it was also something I just eventually stuck with (most of my testing was on the U11 and HTC 10, respectively). As far as bands go, it will not change much simply by switching radios as I've found, and if there is a band your phone didn't have to begin with, it will need to be switched on at the NV level (even though the hardware is the same). On my M9, flashing firmware/radios did not enable bands LTE 39-41 (for use in China)--and I was able to put the phone into DIAG mode and then enable it within Qualcomm QXDM...this feature, however, seemed to be disabled after the HTC 10.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] JazonX:
Hey,

I've done the change already and the phone feels much faster than the 401. Might be placebo, but nevertheless it feels good. Security update is on June 2018, which is actually great considering it's an HTC and the 401 units are still on december 2017.

Overall, Change was good.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XDA-Nexus-User:
I might need a quick, but hopefully detailed if necessary, answer in addition to doing research. My Nexus 6 may have been damaged beyond repair and needs to be replaced immediately.

I'm a long time Nexus user, and have preferred to root, use custom recoveries and ROMs, flash partitions manually, etc. - for a long time.

I've seen the Pixel series is the end-to-end Google phone I was hoping and waiting for, but - is it any less friendly to firmware modding, flashing, rooting, etc. - than the Nexus series was?

I was worried being end-to-end Google they might have placed more restrictions on these type of things, similar to the Iphone, and if so I'd just get another Nexus.

And is it still as easy to swap out GSM sim cards yourself as on the Nexus with the Pixel?

Another factor I would consider is the rumor I read about, but can't remember where. Did Google announce somewhere that they are bringing longer official OS updates to the Pixel devices than the Nexus had?

Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kingsblend420:
I would recommend a pixel for your case! they are mod able/ unlockable bootloader. they have a different partition style then the Nexus devices did so there a small learning curve, but nothing you shouldn't be able to do just read the how tos and you'll be on your way.

The options of ROMs and such is pretty good if I had to give it a letter grade I'd give it a B lots of quality options.... but not as many as like the Nexus s 4g used to have I could flash a rom every other day and still not try them all lol

Sim card is just as easy as any phone to swap and replace and they are factory unlocked/Google fi ready!!!

And as far as Android updates they are the first and fastest to get updates and development previews released so that's a good thing from both a rom development standpoint as well as a security standpoint

I've had my pixel for 2 years the 128gb and it's built pretty tough has great battery life still very fast and I haven't even considered upgrading to any of the phones that have came out in that time I maybe upgrading to a pixel 3 at the start of 2019 if its a considerable upgrade if not just get a used pixel 2

Hope this helps enjoy the phone if you pick one one I love mine!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XDA-Nexus-User:
Looks like I will be ordering a pixel 2 xl, i believe, asap - they are impossible in the local area here on. I wish I could get my old phone working until this Librem from Purism ships, so I could finally try something pure linux.

Now I should see about ROM availability for the new pixels, but it might be better to keep it stock for a while unless there's a great recommendation even for the latest offering from google.

Thanks for the help

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Saamyo:
As the title of the post says, I'm encountering this extremely infuriating audio bug in Oreo based custom ROMs (OOS works fine) where the audio from most games comes out "dragged" and distorted once every few seconds. It's driving me nuts and I can't figure out what on Earth is causing it.

I have V4A installed, but that seemed to work just fine on OOS without any issues whatsoever, so it may not be causing the issue. Can anyone else please tell me whether they're facing a similar issue or not? I'm currently on Resurrection Remix 6.1 2019/07/15. This issue has been driving me insane for the past few months (during which I've only been on RR, but have encountered this issue on other ROMs including LOS).

#1 Update to the post:

Viper seems to be the issue, contrary to my belief. I tried it with Viper uninstalled via a dirty flash of my ROM, and the glitch didn't exist anymore.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tonyzoc:
So, I broke my screen and did the repair myself. Everything went well, except during reassembly I discovered that when I popped the antenna wire off the socket, I pulled the socket off the motherboard. I was able to solve this issue by soldering the bare antenna wire end to what remained of the socket...which was s tiny strip of copper where the socket used to be. After getting the wire to stick, I finished reassembly and everything work.... almost.

I discovered my auto-brightness is not working, along with screen shutoff when I bring the phone to my ear. I'm guessing I didn't plug a ribbon in correctly or fully. Can anyone give me any more detail on this sensor and how it connects to the motherboard? I can go back in, but I don't want to do it until I'm clear as to what I'm doing.

The phone is still usable though.... oh, one additional note. The screens available for around $50 are not of the same build quality as the OEM screen. They scratch allot easier. Probably not gorrilla glass III.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] robogo1982:
You might have disconnected or forgotten to reconnect the proximity sensor to the motherboard. Provided your replacement unit even comes with one. If not, you may need to do some additional hacking.

EDIT: looks something like this
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tonyzoc:
Thanks!. I know that part and I might have not plugged it in fully. Also, there is a metal plate that sits over it, and I discovered I forgot to put that plate on after I had it all put back together. I'm going to go back in and check and replace that plate. I'm a little hesitant to go back in because during the screen replacement I broke the wire antenna socket off the motherboard when I popped the connector. I literally had to solder the antenna wire to the tiny copper strip left in the antenna socket hole. It worked as I have good wifi and mobile data, but it's extremely fragile and I don't think I'll get a 2nd chance if I break that wire off.

So Toast reached out on Reddit, and I donated my phone for them to make a mold of it for future skins. I donate, they give me a free skin (pretty sweet trade since I still have my Pixel 2XL)

The whole experience was nice, I didn't pay a dime even for shipping and when they recieved it, their CEO kept me updated. In fact when they noticed a scratch on the screen (my own fault) they asked if they did it and asked what they can do to make it right. Pretty awesome integrity on their end.

Anyway, long story short, they asked what I wanted, I expressed my love for Transformers, and here it is! They stated they want to announce this Friday and even posted a video on their Facebook of them receiving my phone and cracked jokes at the dbrand skin I had shipped the phone with
