Maybe. I haven't found a way to do so. I tried new flashtool and xperia tool but it doesn't work because it detects your Compact is not the same region as the ROM you are trying to flash. I am unsuccessful in force flashing it with an international stock ROM. Havoc OS GApps build is your best bet if you want a functioning ROM. LineageOS is also okay but I've personal had battery drain issues and overheating problems with the ROM. As always, NFC doesn't work due to difference in the NFC chip or driver.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] zike47222:
Ok that makes sense. Could you link me to the root guide you used? I want to wipe this DoCoMo bloat.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pritos:
You can click the link I posted a few posts back to unlock the bootloader.

For recovery installation, I use ADB and Fastboot method. I don't really have a link on hand, I just followed the same steps for installing recoveries. Should be plenty of threads here in XDA.

For root, I just installed Magisk. Get Magisk then install the app then reboot to recovery. You can flash Magisk by renaming the extension from apk to zip.

Nothing too different from normal installation of recovery and rooting. Unlocking the bootloader is easy though can be expensive.

Hmm. I haven't yet attempted flashing SO-02K firmware to a G8441 or vice-versa, but this doesn't make any sense to me...at least assuming that the bootloader is truly unlocked on the device. If it's unlocked, you can flash whatever the heck bits you want to it. No guarantee it will actually *work*, but you can certainly flash it.

If your bootloader is unlocked but neither Flashtool nor Newflasher will cooperate, I'd try leaving the baseband/modem firmware alone but extracting system.sin and kernel.sin (and maybe oem.sin) from your FTF, and then using Sin extractor tool from Flashtool to uncompress/extract the EXT4 and ELF images from these SINs and then perhaps using regular old fastboot to flash each extracted image to its respective partition.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] bob1791:
Hello, glad to see someone else having the so-02k and I really interesting on your experience with the custom rom. I read a lot of stuff that says unlocking bootlaoder will break some software like camera and audio... How is your experience about that with the custom roms ? Is the camera comparable to the stock one ? Is the audio and other stuff like display color calibration work well ?

Moreover, the main issue of this phone compared to the g8441 is the LTE bands support. As we know the modem of our phone is limited to the japanese bands, and, for example, in Italy (where I live) the 2G and 3G work great but the 4G didn't get the signal, beacuse in my city we have the b20 band.

Now, how is your experience with that issue ? Did you try something to unlock other bands or in your zone you can go over LTE without any problem ?

Thanks in advance =)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pritos:
The stock camera doesn't work on Android 11. You will need to get another camera app or use the one pre-installed with the Custom ROM. I'm not a camera guy, so as far as the camera, it is pretty usable and quality is great.

Regarding LTE, I live in Asia too. I'm in the Philippines and my LTE connection is good. I think we have similar LTE basebands used in the SO-02K so I have no problem with the network.

I am running Havoc-OS v4.6 and it has been stable for me. Apart from the NFC (hardware difference), the Custom ROM is running smoothly.

hi @pritos

can you please share a link for the guide to convert zx1c from SO-02K to G8441
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4qx:
The camera doesn't work in case of stock Android 7 and 8 (though I think it's solvable), doesn't affect recent custom ROMs.

Overall pretty good if flashed properly (wifi won't work without formatting Data in case of clean flash, NFC doesn't work at all IIRC), some issues pop up here and there but there are solutions in threads. Regarding camera, I haven't done thorough comparisons, but someone ported native camera app for use in custom ROMs, so I'm assuming same: https://gitlab.com/xperiance/camera/-/releases

Don't know if full "conversion" is possible due to some differences in hardware, but if you flash one of those custom ROMs e.g. LineageOS or HavocOS, the model will show as G8441.

I made the same recently, but now have a problem with battery drain (mostly when phone is locked, like it's not going to "deep sleep", easily spend 40% during night without sim card and turned off wi-fi), do you have the same problem? Or what ROM and kernel do you using?

Hi.

Having the same issue. Is there a good LineageOS firmware that can make NFC work?

I tried upgrading from stock firmware (NFC worked) to LineageOS 17.1/18.1/19.1/20.1 and it still doesn't work
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nlra:
Replying to an old post from myself...soo, it turns out that even if you have unlocked your bootloader, the Sony S1 flash protocol that is used by Sony itself (in Emma, etc.), S1 Flashtool, Newflasher, etc. will still check the digital signature against what the bootloader will allow. So S1 can only be used to flash the correct and official Sony firmware for that particular model of phone, even on bootloader-unlocked units. "Today I learned."

Since the bootloader is unlocked, you can of course still flash & boot whatever you want using other means, such as fastboot, or booting up into a third-party recovery and dd'ing things directly to the right partitions, etc.

[Samsung Galaxy A30s Questions & Answers] Dean SA:
Hi guys, I am currently messing about with a Samsung Galaxy A30s. I have unlocked the bootloader and successfully setup TWRP. The problem I am having is that every custom ROM I find online either has a broken link and can't be downloaded, or when it runs the install it either gives an error or reboots to a black screen and I have to force boot it back into the TWRP.

I have tried the following ROMs without any luck:

Oxygen OS

Lineage-18.0

I would really like to get Resurrection Remix onto this phone but when I go to the following link to download it, I have absolutely no idea which is the best/correct download to use for my device.

Any help with links to working ROM downloads or advice on the best custom ROM to use on the A30s would be greatly appreciated.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
Hi there, im thinking about the issue that you cant use a background for all tabs in TF3D, so i am trying to find a solution for that.

We need to find out where in TF3D the XML definition of background tiling is, so we could deactivate that, and replace the manila background tile with a normal wallpaper.

What do you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jackblaq:
That would be great, one of the most annoying things of TF3D is the background only works on the Today screen. I guess another option would be to find the graphic file within the manilla files that contains the default one. I have seen a couple themes where they have changed that default image, I think it was the Orange one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Addicteddddd:
added to thread subscriptions, maybe we can do this :) and it will be so much better!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
Thanks, look at the Vodafone theme for example, there is a blank white background. Can we customize the original files like this just with a wallpaper?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
I found out that there is a 2bd5bb26_manila (Background image only on O2 theme) in the o2 theme.

When we could use this manila file for other themes too, we would have solved the theme problem!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tuem:
there's one thing i don't really understand here.

in the o2 default blue theme, the gradient background (for all the tabs) is saved as an image of the width of 1 pixel. i tried to substitute it with another, wider image, but it didn't work.

in the htc black theme, on the other hand, there's no direct image for the background, instead, only the tiles are coded somewhere as image files.

how does it work then, i mean how does manila know how the background is encoded, whether it's a 1px-wide image that needs to be stretched or a tile that fits onto the background "floor" or whatever else on other themes?

if we could find the place where it's encoded what (and how) manila uses for the background, then i guess we could play with it a little more;)

Hi y'all .

Recently I got a Redmi Note 10 4/64 variant . I'm currently using my old phone Redmi 6A , while Redmi Note 10 just lies in desktops corner.

MIUI 12.0.1 , 5000 MAh and 33W .

I installed one game to try the performance , then cleared all the apps and went to sleep . In the morning , I saw more than %25 battery drained for almost no reason .

•I don't even use the phone

•Bootloader is unlocked

•The phone doesn't have a SIM inside , so it can't get signals would cause battery drain

•The phone doesn't have any apps installed besides stock ones . I only installed one game and two or three local shop apps.

•I always make sure nothing runs in the background(the way I use the phone)

Here is the graph

Edit : I can feel device's little heat even when posting this.

The phone call you see is made by my mom . I did let her borrow my phone one time , except that the phone doesn't have a SIM inside as I mentioned

Hi guys ,

As I am using the same phone and same varient(4/64) I can suggest some tips to save your battery.(working for both 4/64 & 6/128).

This measures can be applied in Redmi Note 10/ Pro / Pro Max also.

•You should turn off your Wifi / Mobile data when not in use otherwise apps like analytics play store etc. can run in the background and drain your battery.

•Uninstall the pre-installed apps which can be removed from your phone like Mi credit, Mi store etc. If possible change your keyboard to google keyboard(g board).

•Don't Software update your phone it may consume more memory and also cause to drain your battery faster than before.

•Go to setting search for Authorisation & revocation

View attachment 5489989

And disable the permissions of apps like msa, MiuiDaemon, System apps updater, Get Apps, Updater.View attachment 5490001

•Then disable the following :

• Then open a folder and click on its name and disable promoted apps option.

The road to great battery life doesn't require extreme restriction. Here you can see the power consumption results for my phone. I should mention that Wifi and GPS are permanently on. Synchronisation is also permanently enabled for Email, Messenger and Smart Life.

View attachment 5490189

It consumes about 3% of the battery in 8 hours of standby time.

I use the Pixel Experience Plus ROM.

It is important not to use any functions that permanently (even during standby) monitor any of the sensors. Such as preventing waking up in the pocket.

I have disabled all automatic updates.
[Redmi Note 10] Navneeth tech:

[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I've been tuning battery saving on smartphones since Android 2.1

Current hardware doesn't suffer as much from sustained discharge as it used to. Today, it is no longer necessary to turn off Wifi and GPS. But now it is advisable to reduce the CPU power in standby mode, because the manufacturer leaves the power at an increased frequency in the base to improve the phone's response.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Jaymzx:
Hello there,

I don't expect many answers from this very old phone, but it's still the phone I use after many years. Starting like, 6 months ago or so, from time to time I find the phone warm to the touch and the screen remains black, nothing happens but the phone is still on. The only workaround is forcing a restart until the Mi logo appears. This has been happening for months now and it's getting even more common, like 2 or 3 times per month lately. By the way, when this happens, the phone has been with no use for hours normally, no background apps aside from the usual ones.

My Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon (Kenzo) has the latest Xiaomi.eu rom from September 2018 or so and root privileges, nothing else has been modified apart from that and I haven't touched the phone at all since that last rom update many years ago.

Not sure if it's a battery problem or if the motherboard/flash storage is dying slowly.

Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] ReMiOS:
Thanks for your reply

When using Frija and Odin wil this wipe my data ?

Or will the phone-data be untouched and also the TWRP Root (Magisk) ?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] It_ler:
Downloading with Frija does nothing on your device.

Flashing firmware files with Odin will overwrite the corresponding system partitions ... and when flashing another CSC file, you may have to wipe data partition to get the device rebooting into system again.

But as long as you do not flash another CSC file (I always use Home_CSC file to stay on my current CSC), data partition will not be overwritten or wiped.

Concerning root / Magisk IDK. If you have changed something in system partitions for rooting the device, this may be overwritten by flashing the stock Samsung firmware. In this case, you will have to do the needed changed again for rooting the device.

As I am not rooted with Magisk ATM, I am not familiar with the exact steps. I heard about "patching" a system file, but better to ask someone more familiar with rooting with Magisk.

BTW... after flashing stock firmware, will have stock recovery. No more TWRP. If you want/need it back, you will have to flash TWRP recovery again afterwards.
