Software Used

In case someone wants to work through this process on their own, here is the software that I used:

Flashtool: Used for flashing firmware to the XC via FTF files. This can also be used to extract the contents of some older SIN files.

http://www.flashtool.net/index.php

newflasher: An alternative to Flashtool. I didn't use this, but I saw it referred to a lot.

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

UnSIN: This program can be used to extract the contents of more modern SIN files.

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-unsin-sin-v3-unpacker-t3128106

ext2explore: Tool to explore ext4 image files. Once you've used UnSIN, you end up with an ext4 file. This tool can explore the ext4 file and extract files from it.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/Ext2Read ver 2.0/ext2explore 2.0 beta/

Google platform tools: This includes ADB, fastboot, etc. It comes with the Android SDK, but that file size is massive so Google conveniently packaged just the platform tools in a much smaller zip file.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

apktool: This is a tool to decompile/compile APK files. There are other tools out there, but this is the one that I used.

Tool download: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/

Guide I used: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213985

Flashable zip guide: I ended up editing the flashable zip from [MENTION=4782500]pbarrette[/MENTION] to include only the files I listed above. It was pretty straight forward to edit the script just looking at it, but this was a good resource for explaining things in more detail.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/dev-complete-shell-script-flashable-zip-t2934449

Dirtycow-based TA Dumper for Sony Xperia Devices: This what I used to backup my TA partition.

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236

sgs2toext4: This tool can convert an IMG file (eg. boot.img) to ext4. I used it in some of my tinkering (trying to get use-your-own-TA root option working) but I don't think you'll need it

[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] maluus:
Mate there is a magisk module to enable that menu options. But although enabled, neither volte nor vowifi does work without operator support. Does your operator list supported devices for volte? If so, you can risk to change the signatures of your device with a supported and identical platforms.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] camdecoster:
Interesting. I've not heard of that module. MetroPCS doesn't list compatible devices as far as I know, but I know of unlocked devices that do work. Could you please provide a link to that module you mentioned?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] maluus:
I don't have Magisk installed but you can search volte in modules library. I think name was the volte enabler or something similar
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] camdecoster:
Was it this one? If so, the module isn't doing anything that I'm not already doing. Is there a module that allows for using the Modem Switcher on Sony phones?

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-v4-volte-enabler-t3649613
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] maluus:
Yes it is. Btw I noticed a phrase in OP which points out the problem as I stated earlier.

"My carrier supports VoLTE/VoWiFi but not on my device. I made this module to forcefully enable it to test if it worked (it hasn't so far)."

I don't know your provider but still it seems operator support is based on individual devices as it is in my case. When I first call the support center of my carrier the person told me that if my phone does support volte there shouldn't be a problem. I insisted that my phone supports volte and she said that she ll check with tech department and a few minutes later called me back saying indeed they don't support my device. long story short I can't use volte as of now. they support a device from loire platform so may be if I change identification of device to that one to trick the operator network to believe I use the supported device it may work but I have my doubts about consequences so I did not dare yet :D
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] camdecoster:
My carrier does offer VoLTE and WiFi Calling and those features do work on unlocked phones, so I'm pretty sure it's a Sony problem. In fact, I recently got those features working on an XZ1C. It could work on an XC too, but I'm moving on to the XZ1C. I hope someone gets it to work. Good luck with your carrier.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] levone1:
Don't know if anyone interested, but I found this on a Chinese forum - http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=v...rby=lastpost&typeid=&typeid=&orderby=lastpost Apparently, if you flash the 2 files in the link, (http://bbs.gfan.com/android-9530989-1-1.html), it will work. I was going to test it out, but you need an account with some Chinese file sharing service, and I didn't feel like trying to figure it out...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mp107:
Thank you for the information.

Unfortunately, I am unable to register as the registration needs SMS code received on a Chinese phone number.

I hate when some service requests my phone number (or other irrelevant data) without any way to avoid it… :mad:
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] z75h:
2 files on that post (thanks iovf@gfan ).

Oreo flash CT_v1_xzs.zip , Pie flash CT_v2_xzp.zip .

BUT, that's for XZs and XZP, not for XC. If failed, you can flash oem.sin only (from .FTF firmware) to restore.

To enable VoLTE and Wifi Callling, we need two parts of modem configs.

1. core: *.mbn modem config of specific local carrier that locate in /system/etc/customization/modem/ .

2. guide: modem configs in /oem.

The 2nd part can be import easily from other sony models, but the KEY is 1st part config. If the specific local carrier config can't be found in /system/etc/customization/modem/ , we have to use QPST to put parameters manualy, or no way to enable VoLTE/VoWifi.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] z75h:
Yes, it's Sony's problem. To Sony, importing VoLET/VoWifi parameters of all support carriers is a piece of cake.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] XG_Zepto:
There's a post on a Chinese BBS about enable VoLTE：http://bbs.gfan.com/android-9543428-1-1.html
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] choadtron:
Has anyone here tried this for a US carrier? I tried to follow along with the translated version but my lack of fully understanding the process and the rough translations have made it very difficult.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ymmp:
Does anyone have experience with the X Compact on T-Mobile?

I was going to change from the iPhone SE (tired of Apple, but need a small phone), which has VoLTE and Wifi Calling out of the box. I have a Note FE which was made for Singapore and I was able to change the CSC to get VoLTE, but not Wifi Calling.

W/O VoLTE it's totally not worth it. Besides not being to use LTE while on a call, I read in the thread the OP referenced regarding the XZ1C, that getting Band 12 w/o VoLTE is also a problem.

And then there's the fingerprint sensor. If I install a European ROM to get it...

Will Rooting help any of the above?

Am I stuck with Apple? That's really depressing...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] camdecoster:
I tried to get VoLTE and WiFi Calling working on the XC, but was unsuccessful. There's no modem binary file for the XC that is built for those features on T-Mobile. It might be possible to use one of the other provided modem binary files to get them to work, but it would take some work to find out. Regarding the XZ1C, that will work on T-Mobile with those features out of the box. That's what I'm using now but on Metro (that took some manipulation, but nothing too intensive).
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ymmp:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I had hoped to get away with spending $160 on the XC, but the ZX1C looks like a much better phone.

Does the Fingerprint Sensor also work out of the box?

On the other hand - do you know what the consequence is of NOT having VoLTE? (Wifi calling is not so important to me)

I know I won't be able to use LTE while on a call, but how does it impact reception in general? (the thread you referenced - claimed it would restrict the ability of using Band 12).
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] camdecoster:
On the US firmware, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work at all. You have to combine some files from a different firmware to get it to work. It's not difficult to do and there are threads explaining this at the XZ1C forum. Not having VoLTE means that all calls will be routed over the 3G/HSPA+ network. If you get a good signal on that network, then the XC will probably be fine. Band 12 still works for data, but voice calls drop to 3G/HSPA+. When I used the XC, it was fine most of the time, but I had some reception issues in my office building. That's why I switched. Your experience might be different.

Hello

How to disable this thing? Data encryption

I tried to data format, I tried to flash the stock IMG thru fastboot and after flash another twrp IMG but the encryption is still present. Whaaaaaat? Help me

I lost my original IMG stock

I don't have any password right now on my phone

I'm on los 16 and orange twrp
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
I think that flashing stock ROM will force-encrypt your phone. Try a ROM which supports decrypted status. Do it after formatting data.

You need to flash Force Disable Encryption after you formatted the data . Without FDE most of the roms encrypt the data before booting. Hope that helps

Hey everyone! I've got yet another problem... I have Jivetalk installed, alpha, and when it's CONNECTED, it won't turn off the screen. Only dim! But when DISCONNECTED (but still open) it does turn off!

So I thought "Geez... Lemme install another app!" so I installed Palringo, and same thing... Screen dims but won't turn off!

Is this a kind of known issue with apps that use data or leaves ports open or something? Some help or advice would really be appreciated.

www.beejive.com, if you'd like to try jivetalk (which I recommend 100%. They're the best.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] kyububba:
I'm from Beejive, the developers of JiveTalk.

The screen item is a known open bug in our current alpha build (0.5.2). It will be fixed in our next build, 0.5.3.

You should get an alert in your app when the new build becomes available.

thanks.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] zkyevolved:
Ohh then that makes me happy to hear that! :) Is there an ETA on it? :D I love your products, I've been using Jivetalk on my ipod touch and my blackberry. Also, is there a forum specifically for you? Or a Thread somewhere to talk about the WM6 build? Thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] kyububba:
we haven't ran a forum for this alpha cycle yet, though we will start a few threads here and maybe one or two other forums once we go beta, which should be soon.

The backlight fix is already in the 0.5.3 dev build, but we're waiting on a few emoticon support fixes (the main feature in the 0.5.3 build) before releasing it to the registered alpha users.

For feedback, we prefer emails sent to our winmo address --> winmosupport@beejive.com.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] clonmult:
Wish MSN Mobile would keep the backlight on - it goes off in its normal power saving mode, but doesn't light back up again when you receive a message.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] zkyevolved:
OK I think I understand what's going on. I see that on Skype they give you an option to turn off the screen or not, because they want to know if it should be turned off and go into standby or not. By default it must keep it from going into standby to keep a constant connection. I imagine JT must do the same thing. hehe. Can't wait for the next version :) weee! because right now when I receive a missed call, or an SMS and the screen turns on (i manually sleep it with the top button to keep JT open and not kill the battery) it stays on. Last night I went to bed early, put it to sleep myself, woke up and the screen was on all night. From 97% battery to 45 in 8-9h hours without use (my usage, but the screen was on! haha)

Can't wait :D Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi, All

I am new here and was hoping to get some help with a "Unbranded Chinese Tablet" that I got from e-bay.

It is a MediaTek MT6582 10.1" Tablet with 4GB+64GB, Micro SD, Dual SIM's, OTG and Android 6.0.

Here is the info I could get from MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3:

Hardware : MT6582

Model : T906

Build number : T906_vEN0B81_20181121

Build date UTC : 20181121-092125

Android v : 6.0

Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V34, 2018/01/02 14:24

Kernel v : 3.4.67 (buildserver@buildserver10) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 17:19:15 CST 2018

Uboot build v : -----

LCD Driver IC : 0-i107_weiyao_dsi_vdo

Here is a list of the fake parts:

Fake Android 6.0, only has Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

Fake 4G RAM chip, only has a 1GB or 2GB RAM chip.

Fake 64GB flash chip, only has a 16GB flash chip.

I have also got a full ROM dump of it with SP Flash Tool v5.1804 and a processed ROM Zip from MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3.

What I would like help with is making an Android v6.0.1, v7.0 or v8.1 image for this tablet. I have looked everywhere and have not found anything that works.

A TWRP recovery would be nice as well but I have not found anything that works.

I can upload boot.img, recovery.img and system.img if it would be helpful.

(See below!)

Any help would be great.
