[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
I agree, there is a lot of information out there and different methods of achieving what you want - very confusing if you have not been following the threads since the beginning.

In my opinion, the preferred method is j4nn's method outlined here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510

Use that post as your main guide (the final step in that guide, #13, is how you will achieve root). You will use Newflasher to flash the various firmwares along the way (this is linked from j4nn's procedure in step #2). User munted made a very detailed pdf file that fills in some of the details on j4nn's procedure - see the following post and download the pdf attached: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78255334&postcount=382

Most of the other methods out there came before j4nn's work - they didn't include DRM backup/restore.

If you follow j4nn's procedure, you won't need to use the janjan kernel as you assumed - janjan method is different and does not overlap with j4nn.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Sorry, I didn't point out that I was one of the early 'jumpers' who unlocked their bootloader without any backups, so I have been forced into always using fixes and all the information I have is based on having to fix your phone for it to work, but that's all changed now. I'm so out of date :-/
[MENTION=5167349]camaro322hp[/MENTION] is right, if you follow j4nn's method correctly you'll be rooted with no DRM loss. All of the other stuff is not required.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SunJu22:
Thank you Digesteve and camaro322hp for your help.

From what I understand the XZ1C didn't get as much love as other devices, thus there was a long period of tinkering before a "do-it-all guide" could be considered "the" solution. That could explain all these different approaches that are proposed. Like you said camaro322hp it's rather difficult to jump on this train, and I can only guess how interesting this ride has been.

Anyway, I didn't see that the TA backup thread from j4nn also encompassed all the information I needed; I am glad to finally know that there is indeed a centralized "do-it-all guide" :). To make it easier for XZ1C newcomers, I think j4nn should update his opening post to make this clearer.

Since I managed to grab the attention of 2 XZ1C power users, I would like to ask you: Did you keep stock? Did you try alternative ROMs? Do you like some of them? Do you prefer Oreo or Pie?

For information, the most up-to-date experience I have on a Android phone is my LG90 with CyanogenMod 11 (KitKat 4.4.4! Yes sir!). I heard that it's becoming less and less useful to flash a custom ROM due to major OS improvements, but I would still enjoy the simplest and lightest Android possible.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I've always been on stock, the camera is an important part of what I want from my phone and although there's lots of alternative camera apps, there's no competition to the stock camera app. Then I theme it black with swift installer and just uninstall or freeze any apps I don't want with Titanium Backup. I have stuck with Oreo, everything works perfect and I remember seeing so many people jumping to 9 then wanting to go back to 8 because they didn't like it. Something about changing the way the drop down menu works, among other things, but having never installed it, I'm not the person to comment on if it's any good or not.

I have been watching the XZ1c thread and Lineage is gaining ground, it even has a stock camera now. I would have thought something like that with miniGapps is going to be pretty lightweight and very similar to your carbon rom of before. At the moment this is based on 8, but is working well. Depends how keen you are to move to Pie.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SunJu22:
Thank you Digesteve.

One thing I still don't understand. Part of the process is to hide unlock status. If I do this, FOTA will be applied and I will automatically end up on Pie, right? Should I skip this step if I want Oreo?

EDIT: when you say "a stock camera", you mean the Sony camera?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] camaro322hp:
[MENTION=9607382]SunJu22[/MENTION] I've stuck with the Sony ROM. A rooted stock ROM meets all my needs, so I've never felt the need to experiment with custom ROMs. There are some custom options out there that people seem fairly happy with, so if that's your thing, I'd encourage it.

Without going into too much detail, I'm still on Oreo for the moment, for a variety of reasons, but I don't know of anything that would keep me from recommending Pie.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Shahnewaz:
One thing you should note is that once you unlock, there is no going back. AFAIK there is no known or working method to relock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Yes, I'm not entirely sure why having your rooted phone try and update itself is an advantage, but something I'd recomend avoiding.

Stock camera is the Sony camera, yes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SunJu22:
Thank you everyone, I believe I now have enough information to jump into this with confidence. The adventure begins, and will be reported in this thread for future reference, in the hope that it will help others like me!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SunJu22:
Well, I am a bit sad... I wanted to report my "adventure" here in detail, but I'm afraid I have nothing to say.

Indeed, following the procedure from j4nn with a printed copy of munted's awesome guide, I managed to do all I wanted on the first attempt. :D

I don't have anything to add to this guide, everyone wanting to root their XZ1C can do it just by reading the opening post from j4nn and the mentioned guide. It takes a bit of time but nothing complicated thanks to the clear and detailed explanations.

I now have a fully functional rooted XZ1C (including camera) on Pie with Magisk root and TWRP.

Thank you all again from pointing me to the right direction.

I however have a slight disappointment. I wanted to start with Oreo and make an Nandroid backup before moving to Pie, but I didn't find Oreo builds on Xperifirm. So I jumped straight to Pie.

In case I want to test Oreo, I read that a downgrade is more complicated than an upgrade, but apart from the fact that a factory reset is needed for downgrade, I couldn't find an explanation for this. Any idea?

Last but not least: I looked for the latest Oreo build version number but couldn't find it. Do you guys know what it is and where I can download it?

I guess this will be all for this thread after this. Although it is very convenient to have my own thread to ask questions rather than finding the relevant page for each one, I don't want to annoy you too much... :p

EDIT: Please ignore the last question. I found out last Oreo build is 47.1.A.16.20, and I found the files via the download link in the opening post of the Lineage thread.

Hi, I've been thinking about rooting my XZ1c for a long time now. So, do I understand correctly that the ONLY disadvantage compared to non-rooted device is not possible to receive the OTA updates from Sony anymore?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
No, you can flash a kernel to hide the bootloader unlock flag, this will mean that you will receive OTA updates, although depending on how you're rooted an update will most likely break your phone, so not that useful.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kirkzp:
Thanks--rooted withOUT adventure too

Very happily rooted now. Just wanted to say a quick thanks and add a few notes:

1. j4nn's renoroot to enable TA key backup and restore is fantastic. My advice: use and donate :)

2. munted's guide is excellent. clear and thorough...a rare combination.

3. do expect that renoroot may need to be restarted a couple of times. it took me 3 or 4 attempts to get temp root to pull the TA keys, although it took only 1 effort to get root back to restore.

4. topjohnwu's magisk is, of course, a key component to all this. Thx and $s there too.

I did a few things slightly differently/additionally than SunJu22.

5. I am on T-Mobile US, so I opted to create a hybrid Pie FW to get wifi calling and VoLTE. There are a number of discussions on this. I did it by combining the vendor**.sin and system**.sin files from custom-CH FW with the other files from custom-US FW. Of course (a) use IDENTICAL release numbers only, e.g. 47.A.2.10.28 w/ 47.A.2.10.28 and (b) you still need to delete .TA and persist files from the hybrid before you flash it.

Note: I don't really care about these features, but I have *heard* that T-mobile won't allow BYOD on their band-12 sites if they don't have VoLTE. Don't know if it is true (or where it is true) but figured why not?

6. I decided (for now, at least) to leave boot and recovery stock. So, I am using fastboot to run TWRP or a rooted kernel. Thanks again to j4nn for the method.

Note: I don't plan on allowing FOTA upgrades---I just like passing all the security checks and being able to *see* if updates are available.

That's all. Fine work in development and guides has made life simple and happy for me :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] T_Tank:
Now riddle me this cause I'm on Tmo USA as well and I did the hybrid work fine as well but heres the question, does googlepay and banking apps still work with a unlocked bootloader or did you flash a modified kernel to hide the unlocked status.

Sitting on the fence about unlocking mine so I can do a full nandroid before trying out some gsi pie roms infact this is the first phone I haven't unlocked or least put twrp on since my samsung sidekick 4g o.o
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kirkzp:
kernel with hide-unlock

Full disclosure: I don't use Google pay or too many banking apps, so YMMV. But, I am using j4nn's kernel with unlock hidden. (See link in my note 6.) You can flash this, or you can leave in your stock kernel and merely fastboot to this. From what I have seen, it hides most - if not all -- indicators that the phone is rooted and the BL in unlocked.

Does somebody has :

G8441_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20-R7B_Customized_CE1.ftf ?

Only backup i did not make, and its gone from XperiFirm.

Still have the feeling battery life was better in Oreo, and would be nice for experimenting.

Would be nice.

You can get Nightly Builds from the XASP by downloading the Master Branch Zip from GitHub to a Device or follow the Link on the GitHub Page to get Release Candidates with included GApps and other Extras. Before You can use Nightlies, is it essential to repack the Patch correctly. In order to do that extract the downloaded Zip File. You will get a Folder which contains all the Files of the Patch. Go inside of this Folder and pack all Files into a compressed standard Zip. I recommend 7zip/Bandizip on Windows and Rar on Android to do that.

Follow the Instructions and Enjoy XASP!

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gjengeda:
Hi!

I have a Le Max 2, that I was thinking of upgrading to a new android version/custom ROM and let my daughter use it with a family linked child account.

However, when trying to add the account, I always get a message saying that an update is required, stating that the minimum requirements for family link is android 5.1/play services 8.6 and the recommended is Android 7.0 or higher. Of course, the versions of android and play services are more than recent enough to meet the requirements, so I guess there must be something else with the custom ROMs or gapps that causes the error message. So far I have been trying AOSP extended (pie), resurrection remix (pie) and lineageos (pie and oreo), all of them with gapps micro from opengapps, and they all fail with the same error message.

Searching the forum for similar issues, I find that some users (having other phone models) have got it to work using custom ROM, while others have gone back to stock ROM. However, I haven't found any suggestions of what actually causes this error message or if there is a general solution to this issue regardless of phone models or ROMs.

A few of the other, similar threads, but for other phone models than mine:

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-4/help/family-link-custom-rom-t3839561

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/help/google-family-link-kenzo-t3850734

Do any out there know anything about what actually causes this message (what is family link actually checking), and how I can get it to work? Or if there is any known combo of ROM/gapps for the Le 2 max that will work with a family link account?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Haadkoe:
Was in Costco yesterday and picked up a 2 pack of wireless charging pads with power supplies and cables. The wireless pads will do 9v @ 10w, however the included power supplies will do 5/9/12v and will fast charge our handsets when using a cable.

Reviews are mixed, but I'm pleased as a single Sammy adaptive charger likely costs more than the 2 pack of complete wireless chargers.
