[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raphos:
Hi,

Unfortunately your fix isn't resolving the camera black preview for my XZ2C too.

I unlock the bootloader on 52.0.A.3.84 firmware in order to install eXistenZ Pie. I fallowed the install instructions for this rom and flashed your fix at the end : black camera

After that, I rolled back to 52.0.A.3.84 ( .126 for eXistenZ) : black camera

Then I tried gouster3 instructions here : black camera

I didn't find .58fw for the XZ2C to flash .126 fw over so I flashed .126 fw over 52.0.A.3.84. Maybe here is the problem...

What can I explore now for solution ?

PS : I saw after unlocking the bootloader with 52.0.A.3.84 that it was better to unlock with .126 for the camera. It's a little bit confuse in the forum between XZ2 / XZ2C witch are separate. A lot of XZ2 stuff is compatible with the XZ2C. In the XZ2 forum, a lot of discussion are talking about the same things like black camera... You can read in discussions that camera is working when unlocking on .126 and in other discussions that it's not working... :confused: :silly: :silly:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ermine:
Can anyone think of a clever way to stop the kaiser drawing charge (ie auto charging) from a laptop when tethered. I ask because I use it as a usb-connected modem when travelling, but find that the power draw leaves me with a nice full battery on the phone, and a laptop-sized door stop after less than an hour. Which is not ideal. Is there a way of either stopping the Kaiser from charging when connected, or of stopping the power supply to the usb port, perhaps?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nintendophile:
In Settings --> Power --> Advanced Tab

There is a check box for 'When device is turned on, do not charge battery when connected to the PC'

Haven't tried it my self but this sounds like what you want
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WebAgents:
2nd poster is correct and yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rogue9:
not sure what ROM you're using.....

I just got my Tilt last week and am still running the AT&T version.

Under Start\Settings\Power\Advanced tab, I have an option to check that states the following

"When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC"

Sounds like what you might be looking for...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ermine:
You really are very clever people indeed! Thank you all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mchapman007:
Please tell us how you found out this information! was it in the user manual or did you find out from XDA also? I myself read the user manual when I got my Tilt so I wouldn't fill like a fool asking questions like that.

G.W.E.N.I. - can you put this in your sticky?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rogue9:
Just came across it while kicking the tires on the new device. I sych with a desktop and use it for charging during the day and it seemed odd to me that someone would want to usb connect with out charging. guess it just kinda stuck with me and when I saw this post I had a Eureka moment....

:)

I was surprised when I posted to the original and saw that someone beat me to the punch......

Glad to help out

Hi guys,

A small tips if you want double tap to sleep with Xperia home launcher [emoji4]

Use a root explorer and open this folder: /data/data/com.sonymobile.home/shared_prefs

Open: com.sonymobile.home_preferences.xml

Look for: <boolean name="user_settings_double_tap_to_sleep" value="false" />

Change false by true and save.

Go in security settings and activate xperia home as device admin app.

Reboot and double tap will work. But if you go back in Xperia home settings you will have to do procedure again [emoji57]

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] niaboc79:
Well since Oreo this is removed. I noticed that the option was available after superuser mod.

On Pie even if I modded the smali inside the apk to force it, it isn't avaliable in home settings! I must find why, I think that there's an firmware or hardware checking somewhere.

[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] Maheshwara:
Hi folks,

there is not any seperate forum for Z3 without "Play" - so I simply try to ask my questions here.

I have just read that there is already TWRP for Verizon Z3 Messi: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotoz3.html.

As far as I know, its bootloader is not unlockable and probably will never be. This could explain why in the description of the above link TWRP is not flashed to the device but the device is booted by means of it via USB. That way, I suppose the device could at least be rooted without unlocked bootloader. Is that right? Can anybody confirm this?

Would it also be possible to flash a custom ROM to Z3 even with bootloader locked? Found for example this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx1iJMgClws. Somehow this ROM must have come to Z3 despite of locked bootloader.

Sorry for all my questions - but I have never had any US carrier locked device yet. I am still waiting for my Z3 I ordered via eBay which would be my first device of this kind. As anyway, I will not have any support or warranty for it in Europe, I would like to mod it immediately. I have already modded and flashed multiple devices with unlocked or at least unlockable bootloader, but I have zero experience with locked bootloader modding possibilities. Maybe anybody can explain me what I have to consider.

[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] mattyb132:
The link provided in the description of the video leads to one of those generic download websites. I do not trust this as it is not a reputable file host.
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] Maheshwara:
It may be disputable, if the link to the ROM is trustworthy.

But can anybody tell me, what can be done with a phone with locked bootloader when booting it with TWRP via USB? Would it be possible that way to replace the complete ROM of the device even with locked bootloader? This is just a general question. I simply want to sort out what can be done at all.
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] mattyb132:
The phone would refuse to boot if you alter the boot partition in any way. Most, if not all, custom roms use a custom boot image. This means it is not possible at the moment and you would also have to figure out how to gain root on the phone in the first place so it doesn't really matter anyway.

Thought I'd post this since I felt a lot of people here needed it.

Steps to flash Pie GSI:

1.) Unlock your bootloader using the unlock app from https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-5Z-ZS620KL/HelpDesk_Download/

2.) Download the latest firmware (80.30.96.80 at the moment) from https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-5Z-ZS620KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/.

3.) Extract this firmware and grab payload.bin from it.

4.) Download payload_dumper from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260.

5.) Extract payload_dumper and put payload.bin inside payload input.

6.) Open payload_dumper.exe and let it extract the contents of payload.bin

7.) You should find the extracted images in payload_output.

8.) Flash the vbmeta.img from payload_output using the command, "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img", this is done to disable dm-verity to let the GSI boot.

9.) Download the latest Phh Pie A/B GSI from https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases

10.) Extract and flash the GSI using the command, "fastboot flash system filename.img", replace filename with the name of the image.

11.) Reboot and you're done.

Known issues (on all GSIs):

1.) VoLTE doesn't work.

2.) Mobile network settings crashes... You can't change APN settings or whatever.

3.) Magisk is unusable since it appears to break a lot of things including RIL and WiFi.

Other than said issues, GSIs are mostly stable enough to use as daily drivers.

It's in the Asus factory image.

To be precise, it's in the payload.bin file in the factory image zip. You'll need to extract payload.bin and dump it to get vbmeta.img.

All the links and info you need are in the OP. Please read critically.

Edit:

You might just want vbmeta, but it's best to follow the instructions and download the factory image.

You can use the factory image to go back to stock and/or flash a clean boot.img.
