Hey everyone,

So! I bought a Sony Xperia 1 (J8110-2019) phone from someone on Facebook Marketplace at a very solid price of £250 (RRP is still £850 in the UK) due to the seller describing it as 'in retail demo mode' so they lowered the price. I jumped the gun thinking I was getting a solid deal and just stupidly assumed it to be a feature I could just disable with *#*#73556673*#*#- me believing I was some insane developer with mad coding skills where in realityI had once flashed and rooted my Xperia XZ back in 2016. [Insert 'Hackerman' meme] :cool:

Yes... I am fully aware I'm a complete idiot for not doing a full assessment on the phone and am now having to learn a very important lesson from this situation!! ;)

It seems to have a Store Front firmware installed and unsure what firmware to download and flash? I've tried some of the official stock ROMs from XperiFirm and it just continues to boot into constant 10-second cycles of demo videos making general functionality like phone calls pretty much impossible. without interruption. I've tried Customized and UK Service Provider Firmware such as EE and O2 but it always goes back into Store mode.

I was hoping if anyone would have or could elaborate on how to make an executable system flash zip for a 2019 Xperia 1? When I extract files from XperiaFirm ROMS (FTF,ZIP,SIN etc), I don't seem to get any META-INF files and thus cant make the proper .zip that TWRP needs to successfully flash a new repacked stock ROM? It always ends in a boot loop."

Here are some key points to hopefully give you some background:

I've installed TWRP successfully and have attempted to use 3 official firmware to flash whilst in recovery but have been unsuccessful each time with 'Invalid .ZIP format'. I've only a few times got booted whilst bundling together FTF files via Flashtool and doing it that way round but only ever seems to solve half the problem

I can't use the SinExtract feature in Flashtools as the SIN file errors as not being supported yet to use different file versions.

I can't use PRFCreator as it errors as the FTF file being unsupported (Due to it being new I assume)

I attempted to create my own META-INF>Updater-script but am unable to identify what partition my phone would use for mounting on "/dev/block". I only ever seem to get MANIFEST.MF from the files and nothing else. On my XZ I think I used something like:

I have been able to install Magisk for rooting and verified.

I have used Minimal ADB and Fastboot to install programs like TWRP, SuperSu, Magisk but have never attempted, nor would I even know how to wipe my phone completely and install a clean stock ROM - is this possible?

All drivers, software, and systems are correct and up to date (as far as I am aware)

Would installing the' Service Exchange Firmware' be recommended (if I ever make it that far!) due to it being StoreFront?

I checked the IMEI number to see if it was blacklisted/blocked and it's all good. Not lost or stolen.

Thank you for your time to read and wallow in my woes with me my lovelies! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated you magnificent beasts! x

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Hi everyone!

I'm new here, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I am having some serious issues now with my Nokia 8 of just only 11 months!

Still in pretty good condition, yes it may have had a drop here and there with a rubber casing

Just a couple nights ago I decided to go on my phone (3:30am pprox.) unplug from charger and was just scrolling through facebook via. Chrome and noticed it the whole app froze, and none of the buttons/touchscreen was responsive, didn't even want to lock. Just thought casually to force power off by holding the power/lock button for maybe 10 seconds and thus it did turn off. Straight afterwards I tried turning it on and to my surprise it didn't turn on, even holding the power button for a good length of time, to no avail.

No lights on the panel and didn't even recognise the charger.

I researched here and there and tried the different "holding down" button combos (Volume Up/Down and Power Button) but absolutely nothing!

I thought it was probably stuck on a boot or something, thus I went ahead and removed the screen (will need replacing unfortunately) and disconnected the battery ribbon cable, and after a minute and plugged it back in, hoping that it will finally power on. Nothing changed.

I am now left absolutely scratching my head and almost exhausted my options as I have been left without a phone, missing out on calls and messages for work and now really worried doing the button combos might've erased my phone's data/memory! :crying:

I am either wanting to repair my phone (getting out of its bricked state) or backing up or dumping the memory containing my contacts and SMS messages!

I have not come across anything like this exactly from other users, everyone seems to have been able to get the screen working and enter recovery/safe mode(s). But for this to just happen right on front of me is just bizarre and un-explainable! :(

Does anyone know if they may have experienced this whatsoever? And if anyone can help me on this??

I would really really appreciate it! ?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] PoochyX:
The phone burned out

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Wow, are you very sure? How did you come to that conclusion may I ask?? :crying:

I have read elsewhere people with overheating problems where the phone hangs and they had to force power off. But they manage to power it back on with the button combos :(
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Hi everyone,

A recent discovery and I thought it was worth mentioning, after having the phone connected to my PC, maybe after 30-60mins a device recognition sounds off, and in the device manager it originally comes up as QUSB_BULK. I see this related to the usual QHSUSB_BULK that people gets in other places on the internets, thus I installed the Qualcomm drivers and now I get this everytime I leave my Nokia 8 connected after that amount of time.

[IMG="QHSUSB_BULK"]https://i.ibb.co/t4B4J18/QHSUSB.jpg[/IMG]

Does anyone know what this could mean perhaps?

Is there anything I could do from here?? :(
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] djunk:
If the phone is still disassembled, check the battery if not damaged or swollen or seems like a big pack of air inside. Maybe the battery is gone. Else flash a stock rom. You'll surely lose all data.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
I have disassembled the phone and looked at the battery, it doesn't seem to have swollen or deformed at all. I've even checked the voltage with a multimeter on the ribbon cable for it and it reads on average 3.7v to 4.1V (depending if I've left the USB cable for awhile, like as if it was charging.

I really really don't want to loose my data, there are very important SMS messages that I need to keep!

Is there any way to backup any of this? Maybe through this Qualcomm? :(
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] djunk:
Try to install a few android manager apps on your computer to read from the phone, available from different phone makers, htc, samsung. Unfortunately nokia didn't make one. Try to boot start your phone in safe mode if you can, even though it doesn't light up, maybe it will vibrate. Connect with your computer and try them all. Sometimes holding power and volume down and connecting usb might work.

If not, its probably gone. Your warranty must have been void by now, since you already opened it.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Your'e right, Nokia didn't make one, but like I said before it DOESN'T recognise to access the storage, the phone is dead, doesn't vibrate, doesn't lit up when power (or any) button is pressed.

However, as I've stated in my previous post, leaving it plugged for 30+ minutes will bring up an unspecified device (QUSB_BULK or QHSUSB_BULK) known as Qualcomm (I'll attach screenshot here again).

[IMG="QHSUSB_BULK"]https://i.ibb.co/t4B4J18/QHSUSB.jpg[/IMG]

The warranty expire before I even removed the screen.

There's a very good chance that it's boot is corrupted (I didn't even do ANYTHING...no flashing, modification...Nothing!), and that it's stuck in a bootloop or cycle. I've only read people suggesting (like yourself here) to flash the rom which would bring it out of it's current state (only IF this is the scenario, but we're not too sure) but this would definitely erase everything, which needs to be avoided.

I've also been doing some more research, in regards to Qualcomm, is there no way to retrieve the data through this "Unspecified Device"?

Apparently I've read rumblings of people doing a full dump of their storage. Does anyone know more about this perhaps??
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] angellorex:
Try putting it on charge for 20 minutes, even if it doesnt show anything. Then with charging connected, hold down power vol + and - together for 3 minutes. Good luck.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] djunk:
There is Miracle Box tool available online for retrieving data off most phones. Look for it. That qualcomm unspecified device has been attributed to corrupted motherboard. Only option would be to replace it. Try your best with softwares before letting go.

Best of luck and hope for the best...
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
I have perfectly described this in my original post. Even with the charger intact...nothing! :(

Wooaahh...don't luck me off (get it?) just yet! Still hoping we can all work together to not only benefit me but many others who has gone through this torment and to hopefully come across this in search for a solution.

In regards to your post, when you say it's attributed to a corrupted motherboard, do you possibly mean that the system files or partition or software or whatever got screwed up?

Previous poster PoochyX stated "The phone burnt out", but if this was the case wouldn't the PC not pickup the unspecified Qualcomm device? The fact that it is would indicate that this is not the case perhaps??

Looking forward to your thoughts everyone! ?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] djunk:
Pretty sure its a software issue, since its able to get power after some time. Found this on nokia forums

https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/51807/hardbricked-nokia-8-ta-1012

Maybe that can help. Try to use the miracle box tool to recover some data if you can. Then try to flash a firmware.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Hi everyone,

Sorry for my late reply, life has been pretty busy and very slow since I am using my backup phone (HTC One S) which even after hard resetting is running tremendously slow, battery draining really quickly (even after replacing a year ago when I thought it was a battery problem) and keeping communication to a minimum since I've lost all contacts and messages :(

I've checked the Nokia forums, they are not very helpful at all. And there is nothing of them to support retrieving your lost files and more of encouraging to just get the phone booting again (which results is data wiping).

I've looked into the Miracle Box tool, and whilst it looks really handy, I'm just not too keen on having to purchase a piece of device inorder to use the software and hoping it'll access or recognise my phone. I was really wanting it to be done as simply as possible.

Please do correct me if I am missing anything on this matter.

One thing I have came across are these "Qualcomm Phone Dumper Flash Tool"

- One variant here: https://youtu.be/JXbax7t42J0?t=128

- Phone rescue++: https://youtu.be/kSUZXnFnvUU?t=18

Both apparently shows the dumping of the EMMC, can anyone verify this or have any experience anything like these?

Also, if they are dumped, can the data be accessed to retrieve and backup contacts, sms messages and other important bits perhaps??

Apologies for the long post, there was a lot to get off my chest too but I hope we all can solve this matter, always appreciative! ?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Also I forgot to mention!

Despite the phone being in a unresponsive state, me doing the button combinations, like Power+Vol Up/Down, what are the chances that I could've hard reset or wiped my data completely??? :(

Additionally, if I am able to do a full dump of the EMMC, how will I be able to extract my contacts and messages from this?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Hi everyone, I am still without my Nokia 8 and have been in discussing and trying different things!

So I thought it was worth to update you where I am and if you can still help me at the point I am at!

As you're all aware my device is recognised through Qualcomm 9008 by just using standard USB connection. Remember I can't see anything on the screen (it is also broken) so I can't tell what mode the phone is exactly in, but I am at the stage of using emmc Software Download app from QPST. I am doing this in order to access the internal storage and make a backup of my userdata.

Now according to emmc software download app, sometimes it is in "Download mode". What does this mean?

Also, I previously mentioned that my phone is freshly recognised in device manager in 15 minutes after connected by USB, I get this happening in emmc software download app:

I have tried this again and after leaving it for more than 2 hours it's still the same and gives me that error message after selecting Okay.

However, if I unplug and re-plug USB, then open again emmc software download app, and then click DLOAD button to select phone, I get this:

The State is now Enabled but no more Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download), it just says No Phone.

Any idea what this means??? :(
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] JinbrianZ:
there is a fix for that if ur phone detected as qloader 9008, means ur phone is in emergency state. u need a proper driver for ql9008 and a

multi functional/edl boot cable. once detected use QFIL tool to flash ur "nokia 8 firmware(must qfil), dont use normal cable it wont flash the qfil firmware. or see tutorials how to use it. that might solve ur phone problem and make it alive again.

but this might erase all ur data.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
[MENTION=5398558]JinbrianZ[/MENTION] Kumusta friend!

Thanks so much for replying here, it truly is like having a gift for Christmas! :)

I have already installed the Qualcomm drivers (manually), hence why I get QDLoader 9008 in device manager.

I have read somewhere on the internet that the Nokia 8 doesn't work with any EDL cable, as it has it's own button combination to access the different modes. Please correct me if I am wrong.

At the moment I am not trying to flash my phone, I am merely trying to gain access to the eMMc so I can make a backup of my userdata partition. After I have done this, then I will make attempts to flash. However none of this can happen since I am experiencing the problems I have posted :(

Might you know why the software ifs giving me this error? Have you got a Nokia 8 too??
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] JinbrianZ:
[MENTION=10260855]Nokia_8_fan[/MENTION]

ur chances of dumping the data is very low since ur phone state is bad, u might able to dump it if ur phone is able to bootup atleast, but seems thats not the point.

now its either u keep trying to find a way to backup ur data till u succeed. (doing this u might not able to achieve both by recovering the data & making ur phone usable again).

or

try to make ur device able to boot again. (atleast* if this works u have a working phone again). regardless of data restoring.

but i guess it cant be help. im sorry.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
[MENTION=5398558]JinbrianZ[/MENTION]

Well I just bought an EDL cable, maybe the standard USB isn't just communicating well enough? Even for it to enter EDL mode?

I really hope my device isn't in such a bad state as you've put it, I mean it's still recognising as QLOADER 9008 at the very least. In fact, at this time point of the video this is almost exactly how my phone looks like in eMMC software: https://youtu.be/vkUv5Wmor8Q?t=42

The difference is when I try switching to DLOAD, I get the error 0x80004005.

I also don't know if the fact that I don'[t have an XML file loaded is part of the reason why it's not working?

I don't quite understand this and I wouldn't know what file to put in there exactly, or where it can be obtained.

Could this be a reason why its not working for me? :(
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] JinbrianZ:
[MENTION=10260855]Nokia_8_fan[/MENTION]

have u downloaded nokia 8 qfil firmware? it might be included there, something called like "flash_local.xml". and also ur phone should be detected as COMxx. as u posted before.

if u able to do that again then.

follow this guide. u might u already seen it.

p.s.

emmc download is a old flash tool for all qualcomm based, just like qfil/miflasher.

u wont be able to backup from it.

I mainly want to use the X7500 for HSDPA web inc citrix connection to work, emails, bit of GPS and a bit of music but mostly for a fast dcent full featured web experience (or as close to possible with WinMob).

I'm in the process of upgrading to WM6 through the HTC download and have 2 main Q's:

What is the best browser?

Is it worth using one of the XDA custom ROMs given my usage requirements? If so, which one?

You probably should be posting in the Android Head Unit forum. First of did you get a CANbus box with your HU? If so are the orange and red wires connected to it? Otherwise go to the factory menu and check/try other CANbus settings.

[Android Auto General] nic2k:
You can check if the CANbus box is talking to your HU by typing LOGCAN from the factory settings menu instead of the password if all you get is a black screen then the CANbus decoder is either disabled in the CANbus menu or set to the wrong type or the wiring is wrong. I remember seeing something about 2 wires being connected backwards but I can't find it. This post has a pinout diagram that might match your HU.
