[General Questions and Answers] Kenora_I:
Yeah its probably a hardqare issue, sorry.

The fastboot mode wouldnt dim due to the rom.

Its most likely something is wrong with your display.

Youll have to get it repaired by Xiaomi service center or somewhere that can replace the display.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] elwuero:
so i ordered one of these. love cameras and this seems to be a great pocket camera/smartphone. since it isn’t a usa destined product, does anyone with experience know what i’m in for? my questions are setup, will google apps be preinstalled, like the play store and google photos? will i get security updates?

any help is greatly appreciated.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Kenora_I:
Well vivo, from which place are you buying it from?

Ive seen the phone before, if its from India then it would have google apps etc.

And you would get security updates and you would have google photos.

In my mind, only China imported phones don't have google services sometimes.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] elwuero:
uh oh, I ordered it from Hong Kong. fingers crossed then. should have asked here first.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Kenora_I:
Welllllll, its probably likely theres no google services, but when you get it just post a thread if you don't have it and tag me. Ill try to help you install the global version of the rom on it.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Kenora_I:
Yeah china banned google atuff with google play so your best bet is to wait till uou recieve it and flash the global rom or you should cancel and choose smth else.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] avivasaf:
Can you explain how to install funtouch os firmware?
[Vivo X60 Pro+] PoochieMama:
Hi,

I've got the chinese version too, and I'm based in Switzerland.

Actually, it's working good, but not perfect. Some things are missing or not working perfectly and some things are hard coded chinese. But as a daily driver for taking perfect photos, calling/messaging its "working".

Some points:

- Google (Play) Services preinstalled, can be loaded through the vivo app store when installing gmail app

- Backup/Syncing working, but the initial restore from an old phone is not offered through google initial setup

- google photos, maps and so on are working, only location history can't be enabled.

- Regular OriginOS updates

- some chinese default bloatware preinstalled, some can be uninstalled

- no google now, just a chinese vivo version

- android auto doesn't work atm

- some fine tuning necessary with default apps, and so on

- google pay, banking apps working

Over all, it's working for me, but i'm missing some tiny bits, which a global rom could fix. But in comparison what you get (camera, performance, display, price...), it's a aceptable device for me.

If you need specific infos, just leave me a note.

If there's a global rom, i would be interessfed too.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] elwuero:
thanks for all that info. mine is currently in transit to me. i feel much better after reading your comments. i love taking pictures and that is my main reason for getting this phone. will for sure reach out with questions if needed after I get it.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] PoochieMama:
You won't regret it. This phone just captures perfect photos. Even in comparisson to the samsung s21 ultra. My opinion (and my wife with a s21 ultra).

Some things are annyoing but i can live with it. I mean, I can even do phone calls ;)

Just a night shot from now 2 a.m. - it's dark outside and this camera manages to capture photos like its late afternoon...
[Vivo X60 Pro+] elwuero:
you better get to sleep!
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Kenora_I:
Oh google play services are preinstalled?

That's actually new to me.

Sorry, I guess I was kind of misleading with google being removed. It was banned in china but I did not know that google play services still worked.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] elwuero:
I received it on Friday. Chinese version definitely. But Google Play Store already installed. I downloaded all the normal Google apps like Android Messages, Chrome, Contacts & Calendar and they all seem to be perfect. Thinking now, I didn’t download Maps yet. There was an originOS update available and a couple of apps had their own also, like I believe the Camera app. So I'm relieved that updates do come through.

First impressions are positive. It is sleek. Kind of nice how it comes with a screen protector pre installed and it comes with a pretty nice back cover.

I "had to have" this because like I said I love taking photos. Just for reference I have a Sony Xperia 1 ii (for sale on ebay), a Galaxy S21 Ultra (going back to Amazon) and a 12 Pro Max. I shot a lot of photos today with the X60 Pro+. They are all nice. A couple though came out tremendously well. I think to get similar photos I would have had to get my Sony a7C or Sigma fp with a fast 85mm to get the same shot. I for sure would not have gotten the same quality from my other smartphones.

Anyways I don’t think I will try to get the global software on this. Seems like I'll be good.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] milance86:
Hi from Austria :) perfect Summary i totally agree with you, i am happy with the China version, for that price ~ 750€ you will get nice hardware, OriginOS is also nice, i like the gesture navigation, but im missing google maps location history so much, there is some restriction on China for google services, because china dont want to be tracked by usa google... other brands from china have same issue with location history.

I found in this thread with some fix for rooted phones to enable ROM to use location history:

Ennable Google Maps Location Sharing & Location History on Chinese MIUI ROM

You need Magisk properly installed on your ROM and then download & install the following modules:

[Vivo X60 Pro+] calibra71207:
Hello Everyone.

I am about to buy this phone but still having some doubts because of the OriginOS. I live in New Zealand. Just would like to ask a couple of questions:

- does it allow to install and use Nova Launcher with gestures?

- is this notification bar and settings bar changeable or at least can set up some gestures for that? Otherwise it requires to touch the top edge of the phone which is not perfect for me

- notifications are visible in Always on Display from FB, whats up, non stock phone or messages apps or not at all?

- does anyone use that with company portal and MS Authenticator? and its working fine?

- how is the battery life - roughly SOT?

I will be really grateful for any help!

Thank you!

Peter
[Vivo X60 Pro+] AG7447:
Relevant for me too!
[Vivo X60 Pro+] piskr:
Since nobody wants to answer, I will, but I don't use X60 pro+. I have IQOO and had x50 pro+ and therefore the answer can't fail a lot.

1. I didn't try Nova, but I installed Star Prime and it works with gestures as long as you don't uninstall original launcher.

2. Not that I'm aware of.

3. Don't use unsecure apps, but the custom dialer and messages are supported on AOD.

4. Don't use work portal, but there is no reason to not work.

5. Battery is good, one day with heavy use, two with moderate.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try replacing the battery. Make sure all grounding pathways and connectors are properly connected. Sometimes they may use unconventional pathways like the frame or a screw.

Impacts that can break the screen can cause high enough G loading to internally damage chipsets, fracture solder bonds (including hidden BGA ones) and damage internal mobo traces.

The display and mobo when out of circuit are suspectable to ESD damage. Full ESD protocols and procedures should be followed. Even though many techs don't do this doesn't mean they don't damage hardware. It may take weeks or even years to manifest itself. Handle the mobo, display and sim card like a stick of ram.

In 11 years I've only seen one tech install a sim card properly; ESD mat and wrist strap.
[General Questions and Answers] TrumpXLV:
Hi!

Thank you for the detailed reply. Very insightful.

I've been at work for the last few hours. I left the phone powered off while I was gone. I got back and the phone is powered off, but the LED light is still blue. The only way to get that to go off is by unplugging the battery ribbon from the motherboard.

The phone was on at least 70% of battery before I left. I get back and it started charging at 20%. Mind you, it's been off while I was gone.

Do you think the safest route would be to unplug the ribbon until the new battery arrives?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If you think the battery has failed don't charge it.

Any swelling is a failure.

A sudden drop in capacity or erratic charging are also signs of a failure. I just went through this with my 10+'s battery🤣

It's possible the battery was physically damage when the screen got broke, they're are really flimsy.

Best to rule out the battery.

It won't do your sanity much good until you do.

Examine the charge port PCB closely for any damage or solder cracks.

Examine the mobo as well. A stereo magnifying visor helps.

Hopefully the new battery will get it🤗
[General Questions and Answers] wildcatacu:
Hello, I have the same exact problem. Verizon phone. Replaced screen from another phone. The phone boots normally, reaching the lock screen/home screen, but restarts after a few seconds. Performed a factory reset via the recovery menu, but now I'm stuck on the Verizon logo. Never-ending restarts. Never reaches the setup screen. The LED keeps on flashing blue-cyan at times despite forcing the phone off from maintenance boot mode (vol down + power). Tried factory resetting from there as well to no avail. Swapped back the old screen, but the boot loop persists. The battery is new (manufactured in 2020), had no random shut-off whatsoever prior to the swap, and had great SOT.

The worse part is the phone is undetectable via USB, the phone rarely fast charges. I suspect a burnt diode/capacitor on the mainboard itself because prior to the screen swap, I tried a daughterboard swap first. Both daughterboards work just fine and can handle both fast charging and data transfers on the donor phone. Both didn't work on the Verizon one. Can't even try flashing the firmware via Odin because of this.

Have you ever gotten to find a solution to this?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
The part number on the daughter board must match the replacement. There maybe two US versions... if so they are incompatible.
[General Questions and Answers] wildcatacu:
I do have the SM-G925V (Verizon, 64GB) and SM-G925F (Global, 32GB). Originally, Verizon had a broken screen, a USB issue, and randomly restarts. SM-G925F did have a Knox-tripped mainboard and a faulty daughterboard, but only the 3.5mm jack didn't work.

Swapping only the daughterboards, I was able to use the Global just fine even after flashing the original firmware. The Verizon one despite having an older battery did suffer fewer random restarts and I started using it primarily as a hotspot device. The global one uses a newer battery I ordered online.

Prior to Verizon's factory reset via recovery menu, It had all the original components except the newer battery and the screen from global. I tried a reset because the random restart became even more persistent even while doing nothing. Now, Verizon is stuck, boot loop. I tried swapping even all the original components (older battery, broken screen) just to see if the phone will proceed to the setup screen. It didn't.

Were you able to fix the boot loop issue on your Verizon?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I know about because I ran into that problem on my N10+ N975U. Apparently there are 2 C port pcb variants. In my case the original pcb was still good so they just put it back in.

So much for preventive maintenance...
[General Questions and Answers] wildcatacu:
Sorry, I thought you originally posted the problem. I just noticed it was @TrumpXLV. Nevertheless, thanks for providing some insight. I did try to swap back all the original components on both of the variants, Global and Verizon. Did a factory reset via recovery menu on both, but only the Global one reset just fine and the Verizon one didn't.

I was curious if @TrumpXLV did find a solution. This is the only post I found that described the same issue, the same model. Might have to shelve this phone for now. Was planning to repurpose this phone in some way originally. I'm daily driving S10+ atm.

Have you tried every recovery/fastboot combination, does anything show up?
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
Flash mode​

To enter Flash mode, make sure your phone is turned off and press and hold the Flash key Volume down when you connect your phone to the computer.

Fastboot mode​

To enter Fastboot mode, make sure your phone is turned off and press and hold the Fastboot key Volume up* when you connect your phone to the computer.

* For the following devices the Fastboot key is:

Live with Walkman - Menu

Xperia arc - Menu

Xperia arc S - Menu

Xperia neo - Menu

Xperia neo V - Menu

Xperia pro - Menu

Xperia PLAY - Search

Recovery mode​

After you have flashed the latest Sony software version with the Sony Flash tool, your device is capable of booting a recovery image by pressing a key. To use the recovery mode the device must be turned off and you must hold the key Volume down while you press the Power key.

Note: The recovery image is built automatically with the AOSP code. The phone has to be disconnected from the USB cable

Seems that sony made the combinations weird 😕

[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] yukiyoshino:
I used a voltmeter to measure the voltage on the battery.

As a result, we were able to measure the same voltage as the voltage indicated on the battery.

So it seems that the battery is not the cause.

If there is no better way, I will store the xperia and buy another smartphone.

I am ignorant.

I hope someone can resolve this symptomatology.

Hey, I just came across your thread to revert to stock & thought maybe you can help me out. I was flashing some rom on my s10 & it bricked. So I went to Odin & tried flashing the stock firmware. Now the issue is that even though the stock firmware is successfully flashing, the phone won't boot at all. After odin finishes flashing, the phone reboots to show an erasing screen. The cycle runs for lesser than a second, freezes & the screen turns off after which no matter what I try I can't reboot the phone. I can still go into recovery & download mode but can't boot the system. Any help would be appreciated like crazy!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheBucket:
Be easy on me. This is all semi-Greek to me.

I bought a TyTN II from Expansys a year ago. Generally speaking, it's been a good phone...mostly.

Had to send it in to HTC get some warranty work done. While it was in the shop, I went to my local AT&T store and bought a new Tilt to use while my TyTN II was in the shop. While travelling the hinterlands of North Dakota and Minnesota, I noticed a significant difference between the Tilt's ability to grab a signal in these remote areas, and the abilities of my TyTN II to do the same.

Upon inquiry with HTC as to this noticed difference, they said it could be a radio issue. That my Expansys supplied, (European, I think) TyTN II would not necessarily have the optimum radio set for the US market. Now that I have my TyTN II back, I want to upgrade the radio and/or ROM.

So, how do I do this? I understand conceptually what they're saying, but to go beyond this, I'm kind of at a loss. If you can help me, please take me step by step. Where do I download? What version? How do I download, etc.

I have the following:

WM 6.1 Professional

CE OS 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)

ROM Version: 3.28.405.0 WWE

ROM Date: 05/02/08

Radio Version 1.65.17.56

Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, if it makes a difference, I live and travel mostly in MN, ND, SD, and Iowa, but national travel is fairly often. No International travel.
