[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] NumairAdil:
Hi everyone, i really miss the past days of Xperia home, when we can use the full potential of xperia theme engine :( change over the whole device skin was truly best customization ever, but now i don't k know why Sony killed that amazing ability from their home launcher or theme support for whole user interface, now we can just change a wallpaper and useless icons in the name of theme,

Have anyone knows method to install old Xperia home launcher with old abilities without root??

I don't wanna root my device, any solution without root??? :crying:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4tracer:
First of all, thanks for all the people here provide very useful message.

Acutally I encouter a lot of similar issues across the posts.

Please refer to the posts here:

Unbrick guide Z00l Ze550kl

Need QCN file for ZE550KL/Z00L (2GB Ram) Please.

[Solved]Stuck on logo when booting into custom ROM( Zenfone 2 laser ZE550KL Z00LD)

My model is ZE550KL 2GB/16GB version.

What need to be prepared (please look around from google)

1. CSCImage for recovery

2. QPST 2.7

3. Workable QCN, if you have no backup please make one from the other post. (you will need imei coverter and HxD)

4. Retail image WW_ZE550KL_1.17.40.1234-rel-user-20160304185904-secured-releaseAFT_QC

5. Offical latest image

6. TWRP

7. Minitool Partition Manager (I tried diskpart but not working, so please use this one)

8. Qualcomm Driver

Here are the procedures for reference (I do this for over 10 times and 3 nights)

Please make sure you have working QCN...otherwise you cannot recover the calling feature.

1. Erase aboot

fastboot_8916 erase aboot

use above command to erase the partition

you can unplug the battery and cable and replug them.

or simply use fastboot reboot command.

Result: Device enter into 9006 mode

2. Open Minitool Partition manager

Right click and Delete all partition.

Create one single partition using ext4 format

Once done, remove the battery and cable, replug them.

Result: Device enter into 9008 mode

3. If you installed QPST, you should have a program called QFIL

Please use it and extract the firmware from CSCImage, it should have all the items except emmc MBN, just copy it from the root folder.

If you do this correct (follow other post for more detail)

Replug the device will give you a fastboot screen

Result: Device with workable fastboot

4. Now you have a clean bootloader, but no other thing

Go to CSCImage and click flashall

Once it is done, all the partitions will be ok (sometimes I got /factory not mount, let's fix this later)

Result: you will have a engineering OS and bootloader unlocked, diag mode natively enabled.

5. Open Software Downloader from QPST, and recover the QCN, it will reboot the phone.

If you are not doing this correctly (and many issues here), you will get bootloop.

And you have to start over again.

My suggestion is do not touch any of the bootloader setting. (so do not try to use unofficial bootloader unlock guide)

Even you give a command like "fastboot oem adb_enable" it will cause a bootloop and have to start over.

So my suggestion is not touch any bootloader setting

Result: The phone calling and data should be recovered. You can test by making some call.

6. If you want to keep your bootloader unlocked, the retail image flashall you can search there is a "oem lock"

change to unlock and run it in fastboot mode.

Result: You will have a bootloader unlocked phone, with WW firmware.

You can start from here to do TWRP.

to fix /factory partition. you can install busybox and in adb shell, use mkfs.vfat for the partition.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christian.arvin:
What is CSCImage, I tried your method but got stuck on missing partitions. (Boot, Recovery, System, etc..)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4tracer:
This means you didn't unlock your bootloader.

bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash the partition file, and then the partition will be recovered without data.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christian.arvin:
My bootloader was unlock.

I digged deeper in your method. And this is what i understand and let it be an information for those who will try.

Back up all partition before you delete all partitions. (Your serial and other sensitive data are stored in some of this partition)

Your method only restore 5 partition table that is inside the main0 gpt mbn.

Note: the whole partition table is listed in the both0 gpt mbn.

In my stupidity I renamed the both0 gpt to main0 gpt thinking that it would work. Instead I run into an unstoppable bootloader bootloop.

In an ending note my ZF2 Laser's only hope is a full eMMC reflash that requires external methods. Or let the official professionals handle it.

I've got G955U (unlocked At&t) version and there aren't a lot of roms for it. I'm trying to stay on stock version, but I really want to update to 9.0

Online, Ive only found TMobile update to 9.0.

I don't have an AT&T sim with me because I have to be in India for a year, so I'm not getting to OTA.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?!

Build Number - NRD90M.G920AUCS6EQH1

Knox Version 2.7.1

So I've just finished spending about 6 hours trying to root this phone. I've tried about 8 different root methods involving one-click applications, odin, and minimal adb fastboot tool without any success. I've also tried installing several different S6 specific TWRP .tar files using odin without any success. At this point, I'm thinking all this failure has to be due to a locked bootloader, however, I also can't even successfully check the bootloader status. None of the service menu dial codes I've come across have opened a menu that has the "service info" option needed to check the bootloader status. And all the other methods for checking bootloader status involve putting the phone into fastboot mode, which I don't think this phone has (only odin mode and recovery mode). When I issue the "adb reboot bootloader" command into the adb it just restarts the phone normally (no fastboot mode). My developer options screen also doesn't have that "OEM unlocking" option I keep reading about.

So my question is - Is there some step I'm missing, or is this phone's bootloader just unlockable? And if it is unlockable, is there any other way I can root the phone? All I want to do is delete all the bloatware off the phone, nothing fancy. Thank you to whoever takes the time to offer their help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Eddo22:
Mine is the same. However you can use minimal ADB Fastboot to manually uninstall most apps. I used the 'app inspector' app to see what to type to uninstall them. Be sure you know what you are uninstalling! .youtube.com/watch?v=VjDn56jNTbQ

Hello,

I'm on the Pie-based 9.4.18 beta and the notification shade is acting very weird. Notifications only last for a few seconds then they disappear even before I dismiss or click them. This happens with all apps.

This problem has been there since 9.3.28 which is the first pie beta I flashed.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I went from rooted op6 5.1.11 to stock 9.0.3.

I flashed the complete stock 9.0.3 through local upgrade on the device settings. Next, after reboot, I went to recovery and wiped entire devices. after each reboot I get this; Your Device is Corrupt and Cannot be Trusted in red text, I have to press twice the power button to reboot device propperly, if i dont press the power button twice it gets in a bootloop, this is really strange and also annoying !

How can I fix this, please help

MIRROR SCREEN IS WORKING

This Rom is Factory, then if you were using a vendor Rom, flash vendor2factory ZIP before flashing RR P.

If you came from Zui or any other factory Rom you can proceed:

Open TWRP and do a full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system and vendor)

Flash Rom

Flash gapps arm64 - 9.0 (I recommend Pico)

Wipe cache/dalvik

Flash latest baseband

Reboot

If you need root, flash magisk

Ohh... Sorry my mistake :D . I mean Android 8.1 by SonyAOSP Team from Android File Host. I'm not able to post outside links in here, because my account is new. I check Android 8.1 for X Compact few week ago. After that I flash LOS 15.1 for my older phone. I mess these two up.

However, I have to say that I would doubt that you're going to find a better rom overall than eXistenZ for stock 8.0. I have yet to find anything for xc that comes close... (as far as Android goes - right now, I'm using Sailfish on my xc, and it's great)

What had happend

My mobiledata stopped working (first i tried turning mobile data off and on did nothing) when i got home yesterday i did call my provider, for a solution because maybe there was a blackout or something. Also nothing going on there. so i was thinking maybe a reboot will do the trick and sins then it has been in FRP custom binary lock .

Trying to fix it my self

my phone's download screen says i have (rp swrev: b:1 k:0 s:0) model : SM-G930F

so i got from sammobile the firmware : G930FXXU1DOJ3 .... should be the correct one i think

Added the AP, Bl,CP and CSC in there corresponding slots last one it says userdata only have Home_CSC left but dont think it should be in there so i leave it empty

Hi,

I'm in the UK and received my Google Pixel 3 XL October 2018 and the GPS was working fine, in January 2019 it started to be spotty, It would take a long to lock onto the satellites and now it doesn't lock on at all. I've installed GPS Test and while it can see up to 30 satellites it can't gain a lock even with AGPS downloaded. I contacted Google and have subsequently received 3 new devices but each had the same issue. Using an iPhone I get a lock straight away. I wondering whether there is a software issue or the Pixels GPS isn't particularly good at locking on

Yes, I've done several factory resets and did an install of GPS Status and Toolbox from the Play Store direct. I don't understand it myself, it could be my location but another phone of mine (iPhone) picks up the satellites immediately so I am not sure what is happening.
