As this device cannot be successfully rooted, the firmware cannot be captured. Your only options at the moment are to connect via VPN to wherever is ordering ColorOS 7; wait for your territory to release it OR wait until we can root the device and have someone grab the firmware.

Your "fare share of searching" should have revealed those little nuggets of information. Not hard.

It looks like Oppo added new software to its UK site yesterday: https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno+10x+Zoom

But this says it's only the April 2020 security patch.

Somehow my phone died and unknowingly flashed pie ota bootloader through fastboot. Now can't flash any other rom as it wont boot . If someone can provide sotock pie rom flashable via fastboot of indian variant it will be grealty appreciated.

currently flashing other pie rom gives error and gpt flashing shows failed downgrade of security version

Failed to verify hab image boot

failed to verify boot image

Error: Failed to pass validation , backup to fastboot.

Tried LMSA tool but it wont flash successfully as my android version is still 8.0 so it downloads 8.0 rom and it can't be flashed as I accidently flashed another version boot/recovery image .

if anyone running pie on indian variant and locked bootloader and can download pie rom through Lenovo tool and upload it , it will be highly appreciated as currently lockdown is going on so can't even visit service centre.

Are you using fastboot or mfastboot?

Also, if you don't mind unlocking bootloader it may help if nothing else. But it's irreversible

Hi guys!

I would like to start a different calendar than the default one from touch flos home screen. Is there a way to change the assosiation? It doesnt work, if I set up a calendar to be default.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Hi,

My Xperia went to Bootloop today after I tried to disable Chrome. It's locked and Stock Android 8. When I got it it had Spain Firmware on it so I flashed German Firmware.

I absolutely forgot how to flash anything, I still got the FTF at least. My Computer also died on me so I can't see which tools I used.

Everything is backupped in the cloud except for whatsapp, I did a backup for that as well but my computer died as well so I need this from my phone if possible.

Can I access my Whatsapp files if I sucessfully flash the same firmware?

I think debugging was on, would it be possible to back up data via adb?

And Please tell me how to flash, after Sony mobile shut down their Forums it's even harder to find guides for it..

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
You're going to need a PC. Just flash the system and don't wipe anything.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Yes I got a PC, new one a data is back upped.

I think I used newflasher.

Only flash system.sin?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Thank you for your answers.

Somehow I can't get my Xperia to in Fastboot mode. I hold volume down and i'll get a green light ( I think it was supposed to be blue?)

ADB will not work. I tried different drivers. Which would you recommend? (Last I tried was Flashtool Xperia Driver Pack 1.9 with General Drivers)

Thank you.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
You need to be in flashmode to use newflasher, which is a green led. In regards to the drivers, uninstall and reinstall them. I used the ones from the flash tool pack.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
I flashed successfully but now it will go to that repair mode and screen will turn black.

Only flashed system.sin.. should I include anything else?

Before it would go to repair mode and then trying to start android, now it seems it does nothing.

edit: now Stuck at Sony Screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I'm not sure. Flashing the system.sin usually does it. Try the oem and vendor sin files too. If that fails you may have to do a full wipe and start a fresh.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
I flashed the three files, seems to be stuck at the Sony Screen again without repair mode. I'll wait a bit.

If you have any other Idea before I do a wipe please tell me.

btw how do I turn the phone off without restarting?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I'm surprised at that tbh, it should be restoring the system. Hold the power button and volume down to power off.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
I was waiting like 15 Minutes while the Phone was stuck at the Sony Screen, on the next restart it went into repair mode again for like 10Seconds and turns black again.

hmm Holding Power and Volume down does nothing for me.. Only Power+ Volume Up for restarting works.

I worry if it doesn't charge in flashing/fastboot mode.

edit: Well I got it off now by pulling the cable in Flashing Mode

Still open for new Ideas before I'll do the wipe in the next few days.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
What do you mean by "repair mode"?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Well there is this round Triangle with an settings/repair Icon inside. And on the bottom some kind of infinite loading bar. This goes on for like 10 seconds.

Can't find a picture of that in the internet, I can take one if you want to see it.

Before the bootloop, the phone would go off from time to time, mostly when charging or deleting/installing apps. After that the Repair Mode came up and after that it would boot normally.

I knew one day I would get a bootloop, so I did backups. I'm only losing data from a month or half. Still, would be nice to keep if possible.

Because of this Issue I will probably send it in as I still got warranty, I didn't do it yet because I wanted to stay on Android 8.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
What FW version is the ftf? I would suggest starting a fresh anyway now you're saying it would go off before. As for your data, at this stage you're probably out of luck.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Damn now I think I know what my mistake was, I installed the last Android 8 Update, I'm not sure which version that is, but the FTF was older.

The one I flashed was XPERIASITE.PL_XZ1_Compact_G8441_8.0.0_47.1.A.12.145_Germany.ftf

Do you know which FTF is the last for Android 8?

Maybe It will work if I flash that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
It ends with. 20. Hopefully that should work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
OK, I flashed that and I'm back to Bootloop.

At least it seems this was the right Firmware.

Anything else I could flash? Maybe bootloader helps??

This is Where It Freezes, after that screen goes black and restart.

That's the "repair" mode.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Did you flash the same three sin files as yesterday? Bootloader is no good if your device is locked, and unlocking it wipes the phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Yes I thought flashing the three Files would be the best, since I flashed older Versions of that yesterday.

OK - Definitely no Bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
At this point I'd take the hit in regards to any data or files and start from scratch. I don't know what else to suggest.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Probably the best thing to do at this point.

Which files do I need to flash now? I remeber I shouldn't just flash the whole FTF.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Just delete the persist sin and TA files in newflasher.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
I used a backup phone, today I will switch back to my XZ1C. lost all userdata ofc.

Now it would be interesting to if freeze -> crash/reboots still happen. Maybe it is a Oreo bug? Before I sent it in I can install pie myself, bc that will be the only thing they do if it's not up to date.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
What FW version did you have installed? I never had an issue running 47.1.A.16.20 so possibly on an older version you may find issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Now I am using 47.1.A.16.20 again from XPERIASITE.PL. Customized DE it is if that matters. It was the same version before as well.

Since today I haven't had a problem with it. As I said crashes mostly happend when installing/deleting apps and charging.

BTW I bought the Phone new off Ebay it was sealed but not the German Version as described, it was the Spain Version. But that should't matter since only software is different right?

Possible causes I found on the Internet for this : Wifi Router , Google Assistant (OK Google activated). First I will turn nothing off and if ill get a reboot then I'll try turning one by one off.

For other People Updates or Xperia Companion restore did not help.

Did you ever used OK Google when the screen is off? Deactivating this would be an option for me, WiFi not.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I wouldn't have thought the FW would make a difference, so long as you had done a full wipe when doing so as not to leave bits and pieces behind that might have caused conflicts somewhere. In regards to the apps you're installing and deleting, are they all legitimate, from decent sources, it only takes one rouge app to cause issues, or uninstall something you shouldn't.

It's not something I've used so couldn't comment on that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Hi!

So far still not a single reboot. And I'm still using OK Google with screen off, so wiping Userdata was probably all it needed. Could have been a bad app as well. Anyway no need to upgrade to Pie yet. Phew.

And Thanks again for the support.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
I have noticed one Problem, Wifi Calls and VoLTE won't work. I can enable it but it won't activate. Only Idea I have is flashing old Firmware and then update.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
What network are you on? I'm on O2 and flashed an O2 Pie FW and both work fine.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] BauerBG:
Sorry was busy with stuff, hadn't had the time to mess around with that yet. I Flashed Customized DE again after the bootloop, I'm on o2 Germany and it worked before :/

Flashed this https://www.xperiasite.pl/topic/27985-g8441-471a1620-germany/ maybe it was T-Mobile or Vodafone since it just says "Germany".

Anyway the reboots just returned today. I just disabled Google now. If that doesn't help, then I might try and flash the newest o2 Germany FW with Pie.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Kamigiri:
Hello everyone,

Today I had a notification telling me that there is a new version of both magisk manager and module. Therefore I first updated the manager successfully and proceeded to update the module through in-app flash. After the flash completed, app prompted me to reboot. However, the reboot process never finished and the phone got stuck while booting. Since then I only tried factory reset which only booted the phone to let me enter my sim card password but after that, it rebooted itself to boot loop again. Some info about the phone:

TWRP installed and still working,

Latest xiaomi.eu from that won't boot anymore,

Only viper4droid and youtube vanced modules were installed.

AdAway for obvious reasons.

and that's it. Now I am planning on flashing crdroid ROM to make the phone work again but the installation process requires me to do:

is there a step that I should skip? It's been 6 months since I handled the initial process to be able to flash xiaomi.eu from therefore I don't remember how I exactly did that as I have only been OTA updating the from since then. I don't remember or know how to flash V11.0.8.0.QFAEUXM nor vbmeta.img nor TWRP. I don't even know if I "should" flash those. I am open to any different suggestions or help to let me achieve my goal of flashing crdroid to get out of this mess.

Thanks in advance!

what I want to know is, is there any way i can flash the device to install just basic stock android the way we can do for any device such as a memory stick,

when i go into recovery mode etc and reset it it doesnt wipe it just factory reset, i even tried installing a rom using clockwork lol it goes through the process but when it reboots its just normal box

In order to publish an application for China we need to get a Software Copyright Certificate https://forums.developer.huawei.com/forumPortal/en/topic/0203480680985250017

So basically we need to register our application.

Registration site https://ccopyright.com.cn/

First, we need to apply for developer authorization https://register.ccopyright.com.cn/real.html#/realApplyPeople

I am stuck on it, so I have not yet reached the registration of the application.

The site itself is in Chinese, so I use Google Translate for its pages. There is http://www.ccopyright.com/en/, but there is nothing you can find to submit any applications, just a little information in English, limited version.

We can apply for developer authorization using our foreign passport.

But in the registration form there are two items for which we need to upload images (photos) of our documents.

The first item requires two images (the second image is some kind of translation of the document, well, usually foreign passport already have both native language and English version on the same page, so I don't really understand what second image should be, so I just duplicated the photo of my foreign passport twice).

The second item also requires image (third one), I added a photo of my country's national passport)

View attachment 5360465

But it didn't work:

View attachment 5360463

The first image was apparently correct (foreign passport), I need to understand what is needed for the second image (some translation, maybe into Chinese) and the third image (second item)

Has anyone tried to register there?

EDIT:It is done!

I raised value first to 50 and then to 80 without a huge effect as volume increase.

May be not the right parameter to be modified?

If you try the same way modification, don't forget to remove Magisk root right given to your file explorer BEFORE phone reboot. (brick is reported)

I mind you've better to move to EU rom, it is much better than stock and this allow system file modification.
