When I try to boot in recovery I get stuck on TWRP splash screen. I tried already different recovery images, all for OREO.

RNE-L21 8.0.0.360(C432)

Security Patch form 1. September 2020

All reboots from stuck TWRP end up again in TWRP. (rebooting with adb and power button). The Only way to exit is to press all three buttons (volume up+down and power) to enter download mode, which exists with an error and reboot to normal OS.

Your security patch is too recent.

[Huawei Nova 2i (Mate 10 Lite / Honor 9i) Guides, N] -Alf-:
EMUI version has nothing to do with recovery issue.

Do yot mean recovery_ramdisk ? For example this one ?

Try wipe data through fastboot, run command

fastboot erase userdata

and restart .

Have you installed TWRP over Recovery or over eRecovery?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Vonsk:
Has anyone received this, as an unlocked device or one running carrier firmware? I've seen a lot of mentions that even as much as a week ago ATT released it as an OTA but I still haven't gotten anything as an unlocked phone running U firmware.

I also checked Frija and was able to pull the phone up under TMB and SPR (but not VZW or ATT obviously) and it's saying the latest firmware is still Android 10. And I can't even use SamFirm because I get that authentication error lol so is this update live or not for US/ATT?

So the firs to get new firmwares. EU is the last or it never gets some firmwares because EU region is big region and there are many countrys and each country mast approve firmware. If one country doesn't approve firmware, no update for EU region.

I got great success by flashing with newflasher, then restoring with Xperia Companion then it updated on it's own after a few hours. I was on 55.1.A.12.28 Customized RU before.

[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JaneValley:
How did you manage to use Xperia Companion for backup and restoring? I tried and it said it stop the support service...
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
What is your error messages?

I didn't update phone to Android 11 using flashtool because I am on RU firmware. But flashing latest Android 10 firmware was OK. This is what I do:

Download and install FlashTool 0.9.33.0

Open Flashtool and let the device database sync .

Click on the XperiFirm icon to get a list of official Sony firmwares .

Select the your device on the left, and the select the Customization you would like to download and then

lick on the box below "Available Firmware" to start downloading.

Once the Firmware has downloaded, close XperiFirm and then let FlashTool do some processing on the downloaded firmware to create a .ftf file of the firmware in your C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares folder.

Now click on the Flash button and choose Flashmode. Don't check anything because it will erase all your data.

When prompted, power off your phone and then hold down the volume down key on your phone and connect a USB cable from the phone to your computer. Keep the volume down key held until the notification light turns green. The flashing process will now be prepared.

If you get a prompt saying "A FSC script is found. Do you want to use it?" choose yes. An error of "those data are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal, so choose Yes, and let the flashing commence. If you get a prompt asking you to select a partition, select the top option for 128GB storage and the bottom for 256GB storage -- if unsure click cancel. I selected cancel. If you get "ERROR:null" then repair your phone with Xperia Companion first.

Flashing will be complete when you see "Sync status : OKAY".

[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] palamosteliaro:
All companies release new firmware outside EU/US/UK first, not just Sony. Its not because they don't care, or because they care about Russia, India, Asia more... Its because if something is seriously wrong with the firmware, they are less likely to get sued from customers from those more poor regions than EU/US/UK. Be patient and wait for the official release, or download flashtool and flash the RU version, its the same.

Just updated tp 55.2.A.2.66 in Germany. Got Android 11 and February (2021) security patch. Don't see what's the big deal apart from refesigned buttons (who cares) and some number next to th Wi-Fi symbol. If not for the security patch, I wouldn't even bother.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMmmkay:
Okay, finally EU 55.2.A.2.66 is out :-)
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrustAugustus:
The number next to the wifi is for clarifying the band, I believe. 5 is 5 and 2.4 is 4.

Android 11 was not a very good update. It's a step back as your not capable of overscanning the navbar to use 3rd party gestures.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
I recently got the update.

Is it only me or anyone else also noticed degraded camera quality and battery life?

When using back button to close the app is hanging sometimes too. On top there's icon of the app visible and app remain unclosed until you will use middle button.

Also the icons in top notification bar: in past there were 3 rows and now only 2 which means you need to swipe to the right more times which kills the idea of "short"cuts :/

Now I noticed something else:

- it is not possible to select different clock on lock screen, in Adnroid 10 it was possible. Seems sony removed different clocks.

- in Album app it is not possible to rotate a picture! This functionality was also removed. In past it was possible to rotate it by 90 degrees! Now to do this you need to "edit" picture which takes much longer and also creates a copy of a picture...

Also device seems slower which is hidden under new animation. Definitely sonys android 11 is a step back...

Can someone somehow pass my feedback internally? There is no more official sony mobile forum...

I'm in Australia but bought this phone as a grey import (Sony no longer sell smartphones here in Oz) which I presume is in the Asian region. I plugged my phone on my PC to check if there are updated using the Sony companion but there's none either.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DanielMode:

Better stay on Android 10.

It is much better than sony's Android 11.

Whatever Android 11 brings is few issues and worse battery life. Nothing else. Few cosmetics that are changed for a sake of change but works worse than in past. Not worth waiting at all.

Hello tomo100brt,

Can you please guide me how can I flash Xperia 1 J8170 US firmware (Single Sim) to J9110 HK firmware (Dual Sim) using newflasher?.

My purpose to flash this is because the US version has VoLTE available in it and I desperately need this feature. Else do you know any other way to enable VoLTE without unlocking bootloader on Xperia 1?.

I'm worried using flashtool because there's no FSC script available in J8170 folder but its present in J9110 folder. This may brick my device hence being cautious.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
So hey I used XperiFirm to download the TW firmware and I didn't add the FSC file. Cause mine is HK version and I don't see that they're going to update the firmware anytime soon, so I am planning on flashing TW on HK version. What I wanna know if I don't use the FSC file nothing will happen right? It's just a firmware script file right?

Just updated to 55.2.A.4.47 in Germany. No visible changes.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AJB1971:
I’ve been on 55.2.A.4.47 for a few weeks now and noticed that battery life had dropped by about a third - I’m a light user so it was easy to spot. I checked my apps but none were reporting excessive use. I did a factory reset yesterday and that appears to have cured it.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
Looks like planned aging of the product :/
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AJB1971:
Try backing it up and doing a factory reset. As I said, that appears to have worked for me.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
Will it bring back the rotate functionality they removed in sony album app???
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AJB1971:
I don’t regularly use the Album app, but if I tap on a photo and rotate the phone an icon appears in the bottom right-hand corner that I can select to go into landscape mode. If I rotate the phone back, the same icon appears in the bottom left-hand corner and I can select that to go back into portrait mode.

By the way, I can confirm that the battery life is as good as it was on Android 10. I usually get about 6 hours of screen on time and that's spread over several days because I'm a light user and have tweaked the settings to maximise battery life.

The factory reset is a bit of a hassle, but definitely worth it. I backed up to my Google account and for the first time I can remember it actually restored my text messages and call records, but I would still use an app like SMS Backup & Restore to be on the safe side.

I like a stockish appearance and some of the apps were missing from my home screen. I also had to reconfigure side sense and alter some other settings. The Xperia Companion app doesn’t work on my computer, but I have a feeling that they disabled the backup and restore function on it anyway.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] KekeJr:
I am on latest fw available, 55.2.A.4.47. The rotate functionality in Album is working for me both when in normal album or with a picture opened. If there is a specific thing that you want me to try/test I can let you know just tell me what is not working for you.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
Don't lie. They removed feature to rotate it from sony album app. If that so and especially that android 11 has screen recording option. Can you record a screen with confirmation you are on the latest firmware 47 and then go to album to rotate the screen? Prove it. I have it and there is no rotate option. So don't lie...

By rotate I mean in case you did the picture vertically and want to have it horizontally and vice versa, in past this option was under 3 dots in upper right corner. Please record video that you have this option still there...
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] KekeJr:
I thought you were referring to the screen rotation not the picture rotation. I can confirm that they removed the "rotation of image" under the 3 dots.

Then again the option to rotate pictures is 3 touches away, insead of 2. Select the second button on the lower right, select the transform option and rotate the picture (ofc I presume you already know this).... but I get it, it was way easier to do it with the option you were speaking of.

Relax... i am not here to lie to you.
