Until recently, there have not been any CDMA Touch's(Vogues) with GPS... The hardware is there, but the necessary software isn't.

Most carriers will be releasing an update, however they may not release GPS support. Telus, for example, is only promising Rev. A.

The good news is, yes, the hardware is there. There ARE a few custom roms available which do enable that feature.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] purelithium:
I just flashed my Vogue with the sprint rom to update the radio and hardware, then I flashed it with OMJ's Bell rom, and now I have GPS, Rev A speeds and even the bluetooth file transfer is about 30kbps faster(getting 110-115 now as opposed to 75-80 before).

The rev. A speed is nice, internet seems snappy and responsive and I get about 900kbps max throughput.

Edit: forgot to mention, i'm running a Bell Touch that i bought in early december, 2007
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gigermunit:
I flashed a rom that was suppose to have rev a and gps, i dont seem to have it at all.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SpudNuts:
I've unlocked and installed one of the leaked ROM's and my GPS is working great, i'm just having problems with my camera, it isn't saving the pictures. It shows the counter decreasing but I can't find where the picture or video is, there isn't anything there.

But, GPS gets a good stable lock everytime and works great with TomTom Navigator and Google Maps.

Is there anybody who knows if the HTC touch XL (elfin), (this is the name in france) is similar to vogue?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commensal:
Is there a solution to verify if my HTC TOUCH elfin is CMDA or not????
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] guardianfox:
What is the name of your carrier? Some carriers are GSM, some are CDMA. Someone will know which of the two networks your carrier is using (or you can make a quick call to customer service and ask). That's the simplest way.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] purelithium:
Which carrier are you with? i can research this for you if I get the company's name.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commensal:
Thanks a lot for your help. My carrier is ORANGE...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] purelithium:
Your Touch uses GSM so I think you need to look in the Elf forum here if you have any questions.

Votre Touch utilise GSM, donc je pense vous devez chercher dans le forum d'Elf ici si vous avez des questions.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commensal:
Ok, but my ELF have:

- memory 128Mo

- flash 256Mo

That's why i was thinking my phone was an ELFIN, not an ELF but i was hoping ELFIN was similar to vogue.

Is there any chance to have GPS in spite of it's not a vogue?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] purelithium:
Yours is the enhanced version of the GSM Touch. Elfin is the Touch XL. It only means you have more ram and memory than the original GSM Touch. All the info you can find is over in the Elf forums. Sorry we couldn't help!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commensal:
Yes i understand, in the ELF thread effectively, there are ELF and ELFIN mentionned...

GPS for VOGU

I have the VZW VOGU that I bought a couple weeks ago so I was wondering if I can get GPS on it. It seems like there is alot of back and forth and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. If ya just let me know how and possibly where to get it that would be nice. Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigZ:
i have the telus htc touch, and after i installed a custom gps rom i still can't see how to use the gps... i tryed google maps and it says "seeking for satellites " and locks there 4ever, and with tomtom i can't choose internal gps.....any ideas of what to do or what ive done wrong?!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] purelithium:
You have to do specific steps. You need to install the leaked sprint rom to upgrade the radio and firmware, then you need to install your other(gps enabled) rom of choice, then the GPS will work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigZ:
i did unlocked the phone and updated the radio and firmware and then i installed the alltel rom, and after the custom telus rom...still nothing, but theres an official rom coming out from telus so maybe they'll activate the gps
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattOktaNZ:
You need to install GPS drivers as well .. Alltel rom upgrades radio but doesn't do gps
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Deepeyes:
I have done a search and found a few leads but most appear to be old so I do not know where to find the most up to date release for the leaked sprint rom and GPS/rev A rom for my sprint touch.

Suggestions for the best roms to use would be much appreciated
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] cpudoc6:
It is not that difficult, I just did it. just download the rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26114 it is the one that says origional rom. Just extract it and launch it.make sure active sync or windows connect is connected to your touch. follow the on screen instructions. it takes about 20 minutes. after it reboots and you allow customization, you need to run http://www.box.net/shared/static/jk3xpkwwg0.zip. this needs to be run from the touch ( save it to the phone and run it from there). You do not need to use any other software!!!!! make sure you use PIM backup (freeware) to back up your comtacts!!!!

good luck

PS this is only for the sprint touch!!!!!

Can you explain your steps, I have a bell touch i got in November...

did you use ImCokeMaN's unlocker? Which of OMJ's Bell ROM (Custom or OEM)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrmTV:
Hello. So basically my friend has a xperia Z5 Compact phone and he wants to get magisk 19.1 on it. I am new to the phone and do not know how to root it etc. so I need help on getting TWRP and magisk on it. The bootloader is already unlocked because I tried to get TWRP on it but it ended in frozen boot screen. I have since flashed the phone and now need help to actually do something with it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
Hope you have made a backup of the phone's TA partition prior to unlocking its bootloader. Anyway, once it is already unlocked, put it in fastboot mode (hold the volume up button whilst connecting it to the computer, util the led remains lit in blue color), either copy or move the TWRP image file (twrp.img from now on) to the directory where the fastboot tool is present, then enter the command (attention: it's case sensitive):

fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp.img

Now, to enter TWRP, disconnect it from the computer and hold both the power and the volume down buttons. When the phone vibrates (as if it was being booted up), release the power button; when the screen lights up, release the volume down button. TWRP should come up.

By the way, in my Z5C phone I use the stable Magisk 19.3 version, along with the MagiskHide Props Config, Busybox for Android NDK, and Systemless Hosts (this one is found in Magisk Manager settings) modules. This way my phone passes both Safetynet tests, and it shows as certified by Play Store.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Can you tell me why you told to flash the twrp to FOTKernel and not to recovery?

At the moment I am on Android 5.1.1 (Kernel 3.10.49 , Build-Number 32.0.A.6.200). I followed this guide here to backup my TA-Partition and my bootloader is unlocked.

But when I came to the step to flash the boot.img and the twrp the E5823 does not start anymore.

Any idea?

Greetings by Idijt
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
Which files, exactly, from which threads, have you flashed, to which respective partitions?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
THX for reply.

I do the steps:

-How To Backup TA Partiton

So I flashed the "E5823_32.0.A.6.200_R4B_Australia Generic_1298-7260.ftf" from here , from this thread.

-Backing Up TA Partiton

This step was a success . So I was able to run the script from the iovyroot_v0.4.zip , from this thread.

-Unlocking The Bootloader

I do this and I got the unlockcode from sony but when I run:

fastboot oem device-info

I got an error. He did not know this cmd. But when I do this, I got "Bootloader unlocked -> Yes"

*#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

-Rooting The Device

And this step my journey ends. I can flash a twrp, for example this one.

I do this with:

fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-twrp.img

With no errors. The howto from here told that I should flash the boot.img from here before flashng the twrp but when I do this I am not able to boot into anything else then the fastboot (vol+ and plugin the cable) anymore.I try the boot.img from Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v31.zip and from Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v43.zip but both giving me the same result as mentioned before.

Perhaps my problem is that I am still on 5.1.1. At the moment I try to find a compatible E5823 ftf-File to latest stock-rom (should be 7.0.1?)

Greetings by Idijt

EDIT:

The result when I just try to boot a twrp recovery:

In your computer, run Flashtool and click on the XF icon (the last one in the line of icons on the top part). XperiFirm will be downloaded and run. On it, under : Smartphone 2015'', click on 'Xpetia Z5 Compact' and on the specific model. Now clock on 'Check All'. Select a ROM bearing 'Customized' in its name and with version 32.4.A.1.54, which is Android 7.1.1). The list of available files appear on the right. Click on the most updated one and on 'Download'. Wait until the ROM is downloaded and unpacked. When the progress bar gets blank and says 'Downloaded successfully', click on 'Close'. Then, click on the X in the XperiFirm window to kill it. Flashtool will resume its work, which will culminate with the creation of the ftf file in the right directory.

To flash the ROM, click on the bolt icon, in Flashtool , select 'Flashmode', click on the little arrow at the left of the model name. The same for the specific model and for the ROM name. Finally, click on the ROM to be flashed. Mark all the boxes in the upper 'Wipe' section and click on 'Flash'. While it is preparing the files, turn the phone off. When an animated window requesting connection comes up, hold the phone's volume down button whilst connecting it to the computer. Release the button when the animated window goes away. Wait for the process to completely finish. Disconnect the phone from the computer

The ftf is located in C:/Users/your_username/.flashTool/firmwares. Copy it to anywhere you wish and change the copy's extension to zip.. Double click on it and extract 'kernel.sin'. In Flashtool, click on Tools > Sin Editor, and click on the tree dots on the right. Navigate to the location of the kernel.sin file, select it and click on 'Extract data'. File kernel.elf has been created.

Do you know rootkernel? (https://xdaforums.com/xperia-Z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605). Copy the kernel.elf and the phone's TA.img to the rootkernel directory. In a terminal window in that directory, enter:

flash_dk TA.img DK.ftf

Copy the DK.ftf file to .flashTool/firmwares directory. Flash it in flashmode, just like you did when you flashed the ROM.

Back to the terminal window, enter:

rootkernel kernel.elf new-boot.img

In the script which runs, answer yes to disable Sony RIC' and to DRM fix. Answer no to things like dm-verity, busybox and TWRP. Copy new-boot.img to the phone.

In the rootkernel thread there's an attachment called DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip. Download it and copy it to the phone.

The TWRP I use is this one: https://forum.xda-developres.com/z5-compact/general/twrp-twrp-3-3-0-z5-compact-t3929320, which I fastboot'ed to the FOTAKernel partition.

In TWRP (with the phone off, hold both power and vol-, remember?), click on 'Install' and on the flash img button. Select the new-boot.img file and the boot partition. Click on the flash zip button, select the Magisk v19.3 file and install it. Install

DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip as well.

This is getting too extense. As you progress, I will write other stuff.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Wow, thx for this guide!

I came now to the point to start twrp. The only thing I did not was installing Magisk. Then I hit reboot to system. Sadly at the moment it just stuck in the first white Sony-Logo screen.

The only chance to came out of this is to press all buttons in the same time.

My target is to have twrp and Berni's LineageOS build.

Do you have some last tips for me, I fell very close :D

EDIT:

I flashed Magisk v19.3 and it wokred... Yes, as you told me :/

Can I simply flash Berni LineageOS now and did I need to flash the new-boot.img, the DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip and Magisk always after flashing a new rom?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
At any state the phone is in, in order to turn it off, hold both the power and the volume up buttons, until it vibrates thrice.

Then, enter TWRP by holding both the power and the volume down buttons. When the phone vibrates (as if it was being turned on), release the power button. When the screen lights up, release the volume down button. Then, under TWRP, install the new-boot.img, the Magusk-V19.3.zip and the DRM-Fix.zip.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Regarding Berni's LineageOS builds, I'm running his 14.1 firmware. It has some issues. I don't go back to the stock ROM because I would have to wipe my data in the process, and, at the moment, it's not an option for me. The big advantage of the stock ROM is that you can have all your DRM keys active, although the bootloader is unlocked. The big disadvantage is to have outdated security updates. Berni's 15.1 build has more bugs than the 14.1 one,, and with his 16.0 build, the phone doesn't even boot up.

By the way, the new-boot.img file doesn't fit any of the LineageOS builds. It's the kernel which holds the pointers to the DRM keys you flashed (DK.ftf). It is to the be used either with stock firmwares or ROMs based on it only. An indication is that the stock boot image is some 14+MB long, whereas LineageOS' boot images lenght is some 9MB only.

I too am trying to root my Z5 Compact E5823

Could you help me clarify a few things, I followed another Z5 compact guide for MM and wasn't able to get SU installed without the bootloop I have my Z5 compact E5823 working after flashing 32.0.A.6.200_Australia_Generic firmware. I came across this thread and you gave such good instructions I thought I'd try Magisk which seems to be the standard now. I only got the Z5 compact to replace a broken Z3 compact, I needed a compact phone with ANT+ and the Z5 compact is the most advanced of the Sony's that offer it I never was able to get my Z3 rooted, I want to be able to rid the phone of bloatware I'm not sure the ANT+ works with Lineage so I'm stuck with Stock, at least if I get TWRP installed I can maybe experiment too.

As part of the guide I followed ( I can't post link because I joined just to ask for help, but it's titled "Sony Z5 Compact: Root without losing TA partition (DRM features) on Marshmallow") the part for the TA partition was as follows:

"Copy your TA partition backup to the rootkernel folder.

Open up a command prompt to the rootkernel folder and type in the following:

flash_dk TA-####.img restore-drm-keys.ftf

In Flashtool, click on the lightning bolt icon

Select flashmode

Select "DeviceKey" and click Flash

Hold "volume DOWN" and plug in USB cable.

Unplug and restart phone when instructed (read the activity log)"

do I have to repeat your instructions to:

should I still answer these this way?

I can't find the DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip, is it necessary? Where on the phone do I copy it?

You mis-spelled the link but I found the thread. Are you using "20190514-TWRP-3.3.0-suzuran-recovery.img" or the newer one "20190517-TWRP-3.3.1-suzuran-recovery.img"

I do this with the code you have above?

fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp.img

is Magisk v19.3 still the one to use? When in TWRP can I install new-boot.img , and then Magisk v19.3, right after or do I need to reboot.

One last thing as you mentioned above

Are these all installed through Magisk Manager settings, or installed separately?

I hope all this isn't asking too much.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

P.S. ( I am also getting the NFC firmware failed error when first booting after flashing firmware, I tried about 4 times different things, LL, MM, and Nougat. I was able to install Boot.img when SU wasn't in the rootkernel folder but the after booting to TWRP the bootloop happened.)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
Magisk modules are installed by the Magisk Manager app. Tap on the menu button (the 3 bars at the top left) and select 'Download'. Tap on the search button and type in at least part of the module's name, and tap on 'Install'. The only module that is installed differently is the systemless hosts one. Tap on 'Menu > Settings > Systemless hosts'. After all the modules you wanted get installed, reboot your phone.

By the way, in my Z5C phone I'm currently running the latest stable Magisk v20.4. In its Menu > Settings part, I turn on the 'Magisk Hide' key.

Regarding flashing the Dk.ftf file, I do it whenever I flash a full ftf, because I guess the alternative partition it is flashed to gets overwritten.

Berni's LineageOS

I managed to get everything working and set up. Unfortunately I couldn't get the ANT+ working, it is disabled or buggy above LL, I tried the ANT+ Enabler app with no luck, the app claims to work on LineageOS so I want to give that a try but you wrote above

So would I be able to flash from TWRP In a similar manner and what files would I need, or do I have to flash the Berni's LineageOS firmware with flashtool and install a different TWRP build to install Magisk? Otherwise I'm stuck with stock 5.1.1 which I had tried to get rooted with no luck.

Thanks for the reply.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
I've never used ANT+. I can't help you with that.

Berni's builds (like practicality all custom ROMs) are flashable zips. Install them from TWRP. .If you need the Google stuff, install a Gapps package, also from TWRP (I use to get the most updated mini one from opengappsI.com). Wipe all your data and caches. To get root access, install Magisk (the stable v20.4, I guess).

Good luck!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnostisus:
quick question about Berni's build

All I have to do is put the Berni's build zip file on my phone and In TWRP click on 'Install' and on the flash img button. Select the zip file. There's nothing I need to do to prepare the phone first?

How do I do this?

I guess most important do I need to install the DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip or anything else other than Magisk again?

Thanks again
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casouzaj:
You can either copy the zip files to your phone (or SD card), select the storage where the files are located and tap on ' Install', or keep them on your PC and, in TWRP tap on 'Advanced > add sidelioad', slide the bar, connect your phone to your PC, launch a command window, navigate to the folder where the files are located and enter:

add sideload filename.zip

Wait until the sideload process is finished (TWRP returns to the normal adb interface).

To clear your data, tap on the 'Wipe' softbutton and slide the bottom bar to factory reset.

I would suggest that before doing anything, you instead head over to S9+ forums... You'll likely find guides there (always read, read, read before doing stuff you're unsure about) and help on how to move forward.

I don't do Samsung, so I won't comment any further so I don't risk giving you bad advice.

Little modified system !

I have k8 plus. I have rooted , having magisk flashed.

Now, I want to do an OTA update via magisk, as per the method shown in the link.

But, I had changed the build.prop file in the system, added a line in it. (For cast screen to work).

After this 1 line modification in system, will I be successfully pass the ota, by magisk method ?? Without bootloop issue?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You won't even be able to install the OTA, so no need to worry about bootlooping... You'll have to do manual installation of at least the system image (or whatever's applicable for your device). Better help on that can very likely be found in your device's forum.
[Magisk] Iori Yagami:
On OnePlus 7, Magisk installation might cause a little problem when the phone is charging under power off condition, it might frozen in boot screen and will not enter next screen of battery charging status, of course, screen always on.

After eliminated possible problem from different version of boot.img(official), now it can be sure that flashing Magisk-v19.3(19300).zip will lead to a malfunction in power-off charging. Given up Magisk and reflash official boot.img can get it normal.

Please fixed it, although it does not affect battery charging.

Thanks.
