[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
I unlocked my bootloader, then I replace my boot image and recovery image.

Here's the problem:

I didn't back up.

the device can't detect my SIM card, I try another boot.img, the SIM card is detected, but no sound output.

Emma isn't working, flashtool by Androxyde didn't have a "G3426" selection.

I can't find any TFT file for my device, and can't find a boot.img for my device.

If my problem can be fixed by flashing a new boot.img, how can I get it?

If can't, what is the solution?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Hi

If I were you, I would relock the bootloader, connect your phone to the PC and use Xperia companion to repair your software.

Did u backup TA partition and DRM keys?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
No

I didn't back up anything before I unlock my bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
You've a problem so.

You've lost DRM keys*, so you won't be able anymore to:

- use display enhancements (Bravia engine, etc.; You will see them as enabled, but they won't work)

- some audio enchantments (audio will be worse; same)

- camera enchantments (low light photos, zoom, etc.; Same)

- login to Xperia services and so on

- backup your phone with Sony's app to Google

- and many others....

*DRM keys are keys (series of numbers) that are used by Sony to activate some Xperia features. They cannot be fixed on your phone (only if you have Z3, Z4, Z5) and cannot be generated. Only assistance can do something.

And you cannot do anything for all of this, neither if you will use repair software.

What I would do if I were you:

- relock bootloader with flashtool

- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)

- send your phone to assistance telling them you've lost DRM keys

- wait

- pay (80% probable, cause it's outside of the warranty)

- done

... Or buy another phone.

Hope could be helpful
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
Thank you!

But I can't

- relock bootloader with flashtool ( No stock kernel, cannot be verified when booting)

- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)[Cos I unlocked my bootlocker]

By the way, I found a TFT file. But I can't flash it with the flash tool.

So I extract it and found a folder called "firmware"

Should I replace my firmware in my mobile with those?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Hehe there's a trick to flash with flashtool without verification!

- uninstall your flashtool

- download from flashtool website THE PREVIOUS VERSION that doesn't verify anything on boot and install

- enjoy

If you relock bootloader you would be able to repair software

The folder is C://users/your name/.flashtool

I don't have a PC now, but if I remember well there's a folder like firmwares or something similar. If you don't find it, download a random firmware with flashtool (obviously don't install it) and watch where there's the ftf inside the aforementioned folder

PS hit like if it was helpful, more people will find it ;)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
I replaced the firmware, nothing changed...

All I need not is the kernel. It's not the problem with the firmware.

But I can't get the boot.img for my device.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
As told before, just relock bootloader with flashtool, you should be able to do that with the previous version of flashtool, as told before.

After that, go to Xperia companion and repair software. It will solve all, cause it flashes everything (boot, recovery, etc.)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
I hope so but it would flash but cannot boot after flashing it if I don't have the stock boot.img...
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Ahem... I didn't understand what you said...

If I understood correctly, you shouldn't have problems, because "repair software" downloads the firmware, the boot, the recovery and so on from Sony servers
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
The SIM card isn't working.

It's about the boot.img (I guess so)

I can't repair mobile(unlocked)

I can't relock it(no stock boot.img)

If I relock it anyway (I tried it), it can't boot and shows"This device can't be verified, power off after 5 second"

I copied all the firmware correctly (with twrp file manager)

Nothing changes.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
When you said "If I relock it anyway" did u do it? If yes, power the phone down and connect it to pc JUST PRESSING VOLUME DOWN (no power button) with "repair software" opened up. If the software will find your phone, just repair, else press "device not found", it will do a deep scan into your USB ports.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
Nothing is coming up when I boot in flash mode... So I unlocked it again
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Ok tell me more if you wanna be helped:

1) nothing comes up on what?

2) did u press "phone not detected" on Xperia companion?

3) if you go with flash mode to devices manager, what do you see (related to your phone)?

Answer these things and I can help you :highfive:
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
Nothing come up

I can't open the Xperia companion

[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:

At the restart, you'll see that your SIM will be detected, but you cannot login to Xperia services
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
I can login btw.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Really? Glad to hear that so... You've been lucky :highfive: (I wasn't...)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] GourSE:
Aww... But still, no root.

I can't dump my boot.img without root... Fewer developers support G3426...

I can't even boot into TWRP with my stock boot image...

Flashtool root will always show "Waiting for device. After 60secs, stop waiting will be forced"
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
You can easily solve last problem connecting your device via fastboot (with keys), go to device manager, select update drivers, manual, on PC, Android, and select fastboot driver. It will be found.

If you've to re-re-re-re-unlock bootloader, remember to backup DRM keys.

I know there are few devs, because we have Mediatek CPU.

[MX Player] bobaldis:
Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to post this if not please advise where it should go.

I'm trying to use MX Player Pro as the External Player for Emby on my Android device, MX Player Pro plays the files fine when online, but there is an option to download files for offline viewing. When I try playing these with MX Player I receive a "can't play this link", I've contacted Emby and they state it's because the App (MX Player Pro in this instance), doesn't support Android storage access framework, I explained that MX Player Pro works ok with offline files using the YATSE App, but Emby support suggest they are probably hacking the true file URL rather than using SAF.

I'm not a developer and hence do not fully understand the differences but would really like to use MX Player Pro as the offline player for Emby, please can you comment and confirm if there's anything that can be done to get this working?

Regards,

Bob
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
That's weird. MX Player supports more schemes than any others. We have tried Emby ourself. But, it seems that download function needs premium subscription.

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] zahree:
Hi there,

I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was Google Map apps but I've tried other navigation apps as sygic, tomtom and waze, all with the same problem. When I install the GPS apps I can see the the phone is unable to lock the GPS signal. I've send the phone back to the service center and what they did was a software update (though I think what they did just hard reset the phone) but the problem still occurred. I've done the hard reset myself numerous time but no difference whatsoever.

Is this a random problem to the P20 model or is it region based problem? I've read somewhere not all the P20 is having this issue. Could this be related to Android Oreo (8.1) itself? Currently I'm on version EML-L29 8.1.0.132 (C636patch01). Mine was purchased from Maxis Malaysia. I've been thinking either to install custom firmware, downgrade to Nougat or rebrand to other region but am not sure whether it will solve the problem.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] nkl0806:
Hey guys,

I have recently bought my "Whyred" (4/64 global) and have already unlocked the bootloader.

After switching to Miui 10 global developer rom (with official MiFlash Tool) I wanted to test some custom roms. Therefore I have enabled the developer options, USB-Debugging and OEM Unlock. After this I have booted TWRP 3.2.2.0 with fastboot and flashed the TWRP image to the phone via the booted recovery. Followed by the no-verity-opt-zip (6.0) and Magisk v16.7 to root the phone.

On this basis I went back to the recovery and did a factory reset, followed by an advanced wipe of dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor. Afterwards I have moved the whyred-treble-vendor (zip-file) and the PixelExperience GSI to my phone. First I have flashed the vendor-zip and then switched to image and flashed the GSI as system-image.

And now comes the problem: when I try to reboot to the system it always states "No Os installed". By wiping the cache and data again, I am able to boot to the system, but the phone is stucked on the Mi-Logo :(

After recovering my phone with the MiFlash Tool (Miui 10 global developer rom), I have tried to flash the GSI in different ways according to a lot of guides I have found in the net, but nothing is working. All methods are leading to the same result: my phone stucks on Mi-Logo :mad:

Could anyone of you give me a hint about what I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

Best regards,

nkl
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
At a guess with wiping system and data. Your also removing changes done by "no-verity-opt-zip (6.0)", and since your still using the MIUI Bootloader the device won't boot the associated GSI.

Maybe try flashing/booting a Treble enabled custom rom, first and then install your GSI. Or avoid the whole Treble thing and just use a custom rom.

You may get more assistance in Treble specific threads/forums.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] nkl0806:
Hey,

Thank you for your quick reaction!

But did I get something wrong? Doing a factory reset and then doing an advanced wipe of dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor is more or less an essential part of all the guides out there? :confused:

So you think, I should try to flash for example LineageOS first and then take an approach on the GSI? And which steps should I take? Should I flash no-verity-opt and Magisk under Miui 10 global dev first and then flash custom, i.e. LineageOS? Or should I flash LineageOS first (on a fresh Miui dev rom) and then no-verity-opt and Magisk?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
[MENTION=9351937]nkl0806[/MENTION] After installing the GSI while using MIUI as the base you could try flashing no-verity-opt before trying to boot.

no-verity-opt is only required on MIUI based roms (or in your case with a GSI).

Flash a custom rom and boot it. Don't worry about magisk etc.

Then install your GSI and boot it, avoid flashing magisk or gapps.

Once it boots, go back and install magisk and gapps etc and wipe data.

Hopefully then boot and setup your GSI rom.

Also make sure your using a Treble enabled TWRP!

Noob guide to install GSI on whyred

Again look for support in Treble Threads/Forums, I haven't experiment with it, so only going by what I have read.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] nkl0806:
Thank you!

I have also followed this noob guide to flash the GSI, but it did not work out. Maybe I should really skip the Treble stuff and just use the normal custom rom!

I will try to flash the PixelExperience rom and not the GSI - or maybe follow another Guide and flash the Mokee rom first as a base for the GSI.

Thanks again!
