[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] LuminousOne:
I finally found the f**kin problem :D the invalid driver was hiding under "other devices" only when the phone was in fastboot mode. Basically I followed the instructions of user2021355 from here.

Start Windows in test mode (instructions)

download driver from https://developer.sony.com/develop/drivers/

in admin command prompt run adb reboot bootloader

if the above step failed, you have a problem with adb and the solution is something different

open device manager and carefully search for any errors. I found mine hidden under "other devices"

right click on the errored driver and choose update

choose browse my computer

select the driver you downloaded from step 2

verify if working by running fastboot devices and you should get a serial number

Hi

I ve the yellow exclamation mark in device manager -> other devices -> "Android"

When I point to the Xperia_XZ1_Compact_driver/ folder (from https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz1-compact-driver// ), windows cant find a driver.

same is when pointing to the drivers from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

I ve the G8441
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Add the driver manually.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] LuminousOne:
At least for me it wasn't enough to add the driver manually (I think because the invalid driver would still be there). So you need to right click on it, update, then browse to the downloaded driver.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] sheedy1900:
OK I got it working with installing the driver, win10 bootet with disabled Driver Signature enforcement
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I think we have different ideas of what adding the driver manually is

I have the same problem with my Sony XZ1 Compact G8441.

'adb devices' shows my phone, after 'adb reboot bootloader' phone goes into fastboot mode (I think), the one with blue LED, but 'fastboot devices' does not show any connected devices. Same when pressing Volume Up or Volume Down while plugging the phone in.

After some reading I figured it was a driver issue, so I tried installing drivers from Sony XZ1 Compact driver and Sony Fastboot Driver.

Tried installing through device manager, right-click on faulty 'Android' under 'Other Devices', update driver, browse to download location.

With 'Sony XZ1 Compact driver' it found no installable drivers.

With 'Sony Fastboot Driver' it found an installable driver but had an error. Error said something like 'Did not find "Android ADB Interface", installation failed'.

I tried figuring out what you guys meant by 'installing driver manually' but I don't understand. Is it what I tried above, or something else?

My goal is to be able to install TWRP, which needs an unlocked Bootloader first. I followed the instructions on the official Sony Website for that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andacro:
Sorry. Delete this.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you're using Windows 10 you'll have thought that you'd have installed the drivers, but W10 fails on driver install and doesn't tell you.

Start the pc in 'safe mode' (hold shift while restarting), then choose 'driver signing disabled', install the drivers agiain. This time it should work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Gnorv:
No, that did not help. The same problem remains. Phone is recognized when powered on by 'adb devices' but not recognized after typing 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot devices'.

Thanks for your suggestion though.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] RcTomcat:
I got the problem that no matter what i do i can't install the driver.

Booting windows 10 with driver check disabled does not solve my problem.

Once i selected the driver to install i end up with a questionmark in the device manager above the android device. Taking a closer look reveals that there seems to be no driver installed.....

Any advice?

I tried:

1. Booting with driver signature check disabled

2. Switching windows 10 into test Mode

I booted ubuntu from a live usb stick and went from there. That works like a charm without the need of installing any drivers

Both solutions do not work....
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Are you running fastboot from the fastboot folder? I've never had to boot with signature check disabled or in test mode, I just install the drivers and go.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nothanksnothanks:
so frustrating
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] gadelshinvm:
Vadim: $%§%##!!!! I have only bad emotions!!! The one driver, provided by sony, can be used for both - ADB and Fastboot. So, if you have a problem in the Devicemanager with installation of the Fastboot driver, try to make it manually: 1) Choose driver from computer; 2) Choose the already installed one; 3) Just click next; 4) As in the old time, browse the folder with the Sony driver and choose it. Voi la - it works!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] MarcAnt01:
I have the same problem, fastboot doesn't recognize my Sony device, but works all right with my OnePlus 3. I have also installed the driver manually, but it says error 10 "Device cannot start" in the driver installation

To people having the same issue of "adb devices works, fastboot devices doesn't find anything":

Make sure the phone is connected to a USB2.0 port instead of a USB3.0 or 3.1 port.

After trying everything else mentioned in the thread, I got it working after playing a little bit of USB port roulette.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] MarcAnt01:
Well, my laptop has two 3.1 ports. Sony drivers are hell bugged on newer Windows 10 versions, but they never updated them, what a shame!

Anyway, I got it fixed by booting Ubuntu from a usb and doing fastboot unlock from there, but it's ridiculous to be forced to use Linux.

Guys, this is just annoying. I struggle with the echo, I have already tried everything that is possible: and turned off the noise reduction in build.prop, and changed the values ​​in audio_platform_info.xml, and unscrewed the screws at the bottom.

Turning off the noise during a normal call certainly helps, but you have to forget about all the loud communications and video calls, because there the speaker begins to wildly quack at the interlocutor when I say something.

This problem is already 100 years old. Has nobody really come up with a solution. Talented programmers are sitting here, tell me, is it possible to make the noise switch only on the speakerphone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] evrimkaya:
Hello all,

Long story short : My father bought a Redmi 5 plus recently and lost it. It is found in a shady phone dealer, who insisted that the phone was unusable when he bought it and replaced the broken screen etc.

Since that guy already removed the back cover etc I though the guarantee was already void and tried to fix it myself.

While trying, I noticed that XiaomiTool was finding a Russian rom to install (negruek) as the suitable version even though we are in Turkey. Device is a MEG7 btw. So I don't know if that is usual or if the guy already tried to tamper with it, maybe he was trying to change imeis etc.

The bootloader was obviously locked and since my father haven't associated a xiaomi account with it, there was no way to unlock it or root it.

After tons of trial and errors using various methods and lots of rom versions I have managed to install a global developer rom via test point method.

However when the phone came alive the imeis were 0 and I couldn't get it to recognize the sim card.

When I checked online to fix that, most of the methods require either an unlocked bootloader or a rooted phone.

But I can't do that because I can't bind a xiaomi account to the phone because I don't have imeis...

The only way that seems doesn't have those requirements was to connect to the phone via qpst. So I opened the diagnostic port and installed the drivers and got the phone to appear in the com ports in Device Manager. However when I launch qpst phone field keeps disappearing and/or changing recognized device names so I cannot backup or restore efs.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] moralesnery:
Why XiaomiTool?

Apply testpoints and re-install the official global fastboot rom (either stable or developer) with MiFlash. This should fix your problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] evrimkaya:
Thanks for the reply.

I have tried flashing official global stable rom however it stucks at bootloop. I have already flashed global developer rom using MiFlash, which opens up with lost imeis.

I have mentioned XiaomiTool because I thought that program advising to install a russian rom was weird.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] evrimkaya:
I still need help.

Tried to reflash various roms again but still only rom that is passing the bootloop is global developer and still without imeis.

Tried a few other computers for qpst connection and different qpst versions but phone keeps appearing and disappearing in qpst even though it seems stable in the device manager.

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] chirogan:
Battery optimization of course. Youll find shortly after that the battery will drain faster if youve reverted back the kernel to 2.2ghz. they are eliminating the use of high frequency performances under low load conditions.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] Tyakrish:
I guess that might be it... But with root (kernel adiutor) we'll probably be able to adjust the higher frequencies ... In case someone comes up with a custom kernel... Since the sources are already released..

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PreciousPulkit:
Hi guys

I am having a weird issue , I am able to flash ANY custom ROM ( mark my words "any") be it skydragon os, havoc os, lineage os but I am unable to flash OxygenOS (tried 5.0.7 and 5.0.8) . When I start the first boot after flashing the OOS zip file, it always get stuck on boot animation and the animation goes on forever. Please Help !!!!!

Note:

- Have tried with different versions of TWRP but no success

- Always Did a clean install

- When after being stuck at boot animation for 40 mins , i FORCE restarted my phone to recovery and found that all system files and folders have been made as normally so i think there was no error in flashing process but still ROM not booting up.

Also

:

- If someone has successfully booted the latest OOS from scratch ( I mean clean install) so please can you provide your ( links !)

1. TWRP file

2. OOS zip file
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
If you're coming from a decrypted data partition and then flash stock OOS and nothing else, it will re-encrypt your data. This could take a long time.

I recently did some testing of TWRP for fixing formatting and decryption (see https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/one...al-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post78339714) and I did a totally clean install of OOS including formatting the data partition.

I used a TWRP version from this post https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/one...al-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post78332159. The one I used is the very last one which is described as:

-----update2

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PreciousPulkit:
Exactly How Much Time can the re-encryption process could take?? Cause I gave it good 1 hour

Also to make sure i am getting it right , you mean to say that i should use the TWRP file you mentioned below your statement

"-------update 2" or is it some (img file) that i need to flash through TWRP
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PreciousPulkit:
To Avoid Any Further Confusion , Could You Give me step by step instructions for what to do , please?

Please also give me details to which TWRP to use and all the configurations ( like ext4 or f2fs on system or data , whether to use format button, or advanced wipe) all that! Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PreciousPulkit:
Issue solved !!

How I solved ?

1. Using TWRP 3.2.2-0 I first Formatted data.

2.Then used advanced wipe to clean everything.

3.Then using change file system option in WIPE category changed my "data" partition from whatever to f2fs.

4.Then changed back to ext4.

5.Then changed back to f2fs.

6.Using PC transferred OOS zip file (5.0.8) to internal storage.

7.Flashed The file

8.Bingo !!! Phone booted up without a problem

So i am on Aex rom .

Now i am trying to flash hydrogen port miui10 or the epic rom port.

i have unofficially unlocked the bootloader so i am using Safe Twrpv2.

Now the rom boots but it is stuck at bootlogo even after 30 min.

i have tried everything from flashing the univeral_boot to flashing lazy flash but the problem persists.

what actually happens is that after several minutes the phone starts to vibrates in gap of sometime with screen going bright and dim.

I desperately want to flash miui rom throught recovery.

Has anyone else faced this issue.

What could be the possible reasons and how to solve this????
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
If u r unofficially unlocked then be careful . dont flash any firmware zip. It may relock ur bootloader.

Use latesttwrp 3.2.3 official.

Atleast once Format data(not wipe data) to decrypt ur data and internal sd..

On what miui rom u unlocked ur phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ansdiv:
i unlocked it way back so i dont actually remember but it was miui6 i guess and after that i have flashed firmwares with no issue !!!

i used this thread as a reference to flash miui rom.

It tells to use Safe_Twrp v2 to avoid bootloop.

i usually use redwolf but for miui i am using this safe twrp.

So yeah this works there is no bootloop but at the same the rom is not booting it is stuck on boot animation.

so what actually should be kept in mind while flashing miui port on an unofficailly unlocked deviced

Can u tell me way to solve this??? Should i use different recovery??

i really want to try out miui10 port

It would be great if u can help me out!!!

Does miui ported rom require us to format data????

Ok. Dont format.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ansdiv:
man i just want to be sure if it will work as i dont want the headache of backing up data to pc and restoring it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
First thing is u unlocked ur phone on old miui6 rom. May be Lollipop miui rom. That means ur bootloader partition is outdated.

Most recent custom roms need latest miui bootloader to boot roms.

U cant upgrade ur boot loader using firmware zip with emmc appboot file. Which will relock ur phone and will bootlooop coz U unlocked ur phone unofficially .

Only offiicial unlock can update bootloader.

Now u may have tried lazy flasher or whatever patch in past. So u can try those patch to boot into miui ported roms.

I never tried hydrogen ported roms. Coz i heard lot of negative feedbacks from users who came from hydrogen roms. So i never attempted to try.

After u came from global miui u must format data. Coz miui encrypt ur phone data and internal sd by default.

If u never used format data command in past then u should do atleast once.

Encrypted data and internal sd are common

Cause which stops ur custom roms booting.
