nothing helped

still same issue after command fastboot oem unlock 0x......

nothing happen just waiting for any device
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
@Miustone

bingo

finaly....but not on Win 10

for problems like this its always better to have your old Win 7 on backup partition.

just to use it offline to root your newest device lol

i don't no why but on Win 7 the driver installation worked perfekly automaticly and boom all adb commants ran through smothly
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
so its confirmed this root guide works on the Xperia 5 IV with A 12 also

k 1 little chock is still around but fixable like ya see :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Romreactor:
I have a XQ-CQ62 Sony Xperia 5 IV I just purchased from B & H, however when goin through Sony unlock bootloader process it stated Bootloader unlock not allowed. Is there anyway to go around this?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
let me guess.....u'r in the states.!?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Romreactor:
Yep
[Sony Xperia 5 III] guhvanoh:
Then nope.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] WalterCool:
For Xperia 5 IV devices, you need to get into fastbootd.

You can reach fastbootd by doing:

fastboot reboot fastboot

Otherwise, flash attempts will never find system_a or system_b partition.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] tonysunshine:
'

So I figured out how to install/select the fastboot driver in windows 11(xperia 5 IV for me).

1 - unzip the usb driver folder then navigate to it (usb_driver_r13-windows)

2 - right click the android_winusb.inf file and click install

3 - boot the phone to fastboot mode

4 - go to device manager in windows and find the Android device with the failed driver, right click and select update driver

5 - select "browse my computer for drivers", then select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

6 - scroll down and select "Universal Serial Bus Devices" then click next

7 - under manufacturer select "WinUSB Device", then under model select "ADB Device". Click next

8 - fastboot driver should be installed correctly. You may need to reboot the computer and boot the phone into fastboot mode again
[Sony Xperia 5 III] felixisaac2:
Thanks for the guide, I used it back in May and it worked perfectly.

I want to update my firmware now that Android 13 is coming out, should I just follow the guide again or is there an easier way to update without having to wipe my phone again?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
i would be careful.....who knows this guide is working on A13.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Retenor:
After reading through everything I'm a little confused... Guide works for Xperia 5 III (Android 12) is what I can extract from everything said and DRM keys and functionality won't be affected aside from the obvious Netflix thingy and the usual (which Magisk and Zygisk will hopefully cover up for a long time to come), right?

Did the guy with the autofocus claim have any actual reason to post what he did and is anyone here to confirm camera functionality is still given 100% after unlocking / flashing the 5 III with Android 12?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Coirpre:
I have just tried to Root A13 according to the First Post. On the first try, fastboot -w failed, and I got a "Your device is corrupted and will power off in 5 seconds" warning. I was able to oem lock and repair the device with Xperia Companion.

On the second try without wiping (the device ist wiped anyway after oem unlock), I still got "Your device is corrupted and will power off in 5 seconds". Interestingly enough, the device booted after oem unlock, and only broke after fastboot flash boot patched.img. But flashing the unpatched boot.img on both boot partitions did not fix it, I had to go via Xperia Companion.

If anyone has any idea what is happening here, I would be very interested!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Retenor:
How would we best approach testing this? I'm willing to help, I've just so far only owned Samsung devices and flashed via odin, the Sony environment is completely new to me... And I kind of can't affort busting the phone as I recently bought it.

Updated to A13 today, sort of by mistake because the damn thing does not only not pull security patches at once but rather one by one and then doesn't even tell me "update to Android 13" before hitting "update".

So far the Sony experience has honestly been trash.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
so what u did :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Coirpre:
You should be able to flash a clean rom (as separate .img files) through fastboot independent of battery, but I don't know what the conditions are.

If you explain what actions you took and when/why the bootloop happened, maybe someone could help. [ROM, what you did, what happened, when the bootloop happened, what you already gried to solve]
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
u'r working in your device totally clueless i guess

there wasn't a twrp available for any Sony device since years .!

and flashtool wasn't working for this device too
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
so why than u switched to newflasher on the other hand.?

get latest stock firmware by downloading with Xperfirm that simple

Hi guys,

Hi, I own a BS2 Pro Global and it suddenly froze and shutdown, it happened several times and now it's completely dead. It won't charge and boot up. When I connect it to a PC my PC detects it but no signs of power from the device.

In my 'device manager' it says "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)"

it's also detected by Mi Flash tool but I don't have anything to boot from.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SpArKy87:
hey guys,

i know there are a bunch of threads out there already which deal with themes and tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and everything. but it seems like there's been quite a few issues with the original o2 ROM TF3D and the attempt to install the black htc theme.

I tried to use tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and use the diamond htc black theme here from the forum. The installation works quite alright, everything seems nice but the music player doesn't show the artist/genre/track/album horizontal menu and also is the list of applications black on black.

Maybe there are a few manila files missing or something?

I don't really want to flash my rom since there's only a beta out of the german romeos and i need a stable working phone - but the blue o2 theme is really ugly.

Are there any ideas out there what's going wrong and how to fix that problem? Or could you tell me which manila files have to be edited in order to see the custom menu bar in the music player and the black font color in the list of all applications?

I think this is also happening with the Vodafone Version of TF3D :(

Regards

Oli
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Leoncc:
Yes, I have the exact same problem as well with my Vodaphone Touch Pro, I've scouted through the forums for hours while at college and have not seen a solution for this, I'm guessing the only work around would be to flash the phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asejox:
Same problem here. Have a MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile Version) and I have the same issue as you when installing the original theme.

I am searching for a solution for two days now and I haven't find anything yet.

I don't need the original HTC theme, I would be lucky with any "magentaless theme" that works.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asejox:
I have found a working black theme, but it is on german.

for tf3d:

and for wm6.1:

http://rapidshare.com/files/131850418/Htc_black.zip.html

Now the colors are right, but I think tf3d is much slower now. I have already done all tweaks for optimizing the performance.

Is there any solution?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SpArKy87:
hey very cool!

but i think that version is older than my current one.

where'd you find that one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asejox:
I found it in this forum

http://www.ppc-phones.de/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=56565

I installed the theme. It's not that slow that I can't use it but with the original T-Mobile theme TF3D was much faster.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SpArKy87:
well i installed it just now and it isn't slower than the o2 tf3d version really.

but if you go to settings -> connections this page appears still in blue in tf3d but i don't really mind that (i don't open that page too often since i have secondtoday)

do you know how i can change the dropdown background when i click on start in the upper left corner? cause that's still blue too

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asejox:
go to start - settings - today and there are the themes for wm6.1.

there you choose this file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/13185041...black.zip.html

(I copied it to the windowsfolder before selecting it in the settings)

with the t-mobile theme the first screen (the one with the clock) was there immediately when I switched to it on tf3d. now it needs half a second, but it is ok for me.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauleberber:
I have bought an gt-n8010, which has lineage os installed, but doesn't boot (just splash screen).

So i tried odin to flash the stock rom, but it failed any writing process on the device. In Download mode there is some info written:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8010

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Official (What does it mean? Does it mean the Bootloader is locked and the device is bricked?)

RP SWREV: A2

But twrp (2.8.7.0 or so) is/was installed, so i booted into recovery and tried to install other custom roms, but it also failed. "Can't state /data/media".

The File Manager in TWRP shows /data but couldn't enter /data/media.

I remounted /data as RW (at least i thought first, that i did) and the file manager could show me /data/media and i thought i was sucessfull.

But the ROM i had, didn't want to install (it thought this was the wrong hardware) and the /data folder was still mounted Readonly (/cache too).

I loaded another ROM, but that needed a newer TWRP.

So i tried flashing TWRP through TWRP and failed. Tried with Odin and Failed. Tried with the DD command within TWRP and failed.

I realised /cache and /data were still mounted read only (and i assume that this is the same problem in Download Mode when trying to flash with Odin)

So, has anyone any suggestion why i can't get /data and /cache mounted in RW mode and has a solution?

Or are these just symtoms of a locked bootloader.

Finally i got it mounted rw (both Cache and and data) und could copy a file to the /data/media folder, by umount and then mount manually.

Still i either need to upgrade twrp or get a ROM which works with twrp v2.8.7.0, so any suggestions? May be dd with the right /dev/blk.... instead of "dd if=/external_sd/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/RECOVERY" (fails with writing with I/O Error) may work. But i don´t know which one it is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] html6405:
I would try to flash a recent TWRP from in the download mode and see if this works.

If there's still the old TWRP after the flash than your eMMC is locked and needs to get replaced.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauleberber:
Is there any other possibility to flash from Download Mode except from Odin3 which i already tried. (Adb doesn´t seem to work detects no devices, fastboot neither).

And why does twrp mount /cache und /data read only on start up?

I also thought that something may be locked, but finally i could mount it RW in twrp by mounting it manually by using umount and mount with tha same options except rw instat of ro.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] html6405:
Sure, you could use heimdall (linux). But Odin 3.09 should work fine for example.

Does it even detect your device?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauleberber:
Yes it detects the device, it connects to the device but it seems it can´t write anything. I´ll post a screenshot later.

[Motorola Moto G20] Radiobuzz:
I've been trying to root this phone and I was trying to flash it with a modified boot.img which I did, but now the phone just keeps on restarting. It briefly shows the splashscreen and then reboots again. I can't seem to connect to it via adb, I also tried using the Lenovo recovery tool but it can't seem to connect to the phone. I found that by pressing the down and up buttons it takes a lot longer to reboot. I see the splashscreen and then it goes to black for a while, and then reboots. If you have any idea what could I try I'll really appreciate it!
[Motorola Moto G20] UnlockCode.Net:
Which Devices?
[Motorola Moto G20] sd_shadow:
Hold the volume down button, and press the power button.

This should get you back to the bootloader screen, then LMSA should detect the device.
[Motorola Moto G20] Radiobuzz:
Thanks! Can't seem to make it work though. I assume I only press the power button once right? I have tried several combinations to no avail.
[Motorola Moto G20] sd_shadow:
Well, it can be a little tricky.

You should be able to press and hold both Power and Volume Down buttons, till you see the bootloader screen.

But I usually have better luck if I hold the volume down button, and only press the power button till it seems to be powering down before rebooting.

also can try doing this while connected to PC or wall charger.
[Motorola Moto G20] Radiobuzz:
Are you 100% sure I don't need to also press the upper button from that same row right? Because for booting into fastboot without using the command was by pressing those three buttons at the same time. I've been trying both ways with no luck still.

I'm sorry, it's a Moto G20 X2128-1.
[Motorola Moto G20] Radiobuzz:
Yay finally managed to do it! For the record I only had to use the volume down key and plug the usb cable to the pc just at the right time (right about the splash screen disappears). Guess I'll wait until someone post the exact method to gain root. Thanks @sh_shadow!
[Motorola Moto G20] sd_shadow:
Did you verify that the version you had on the device, was the same version LMSA downloaded?

If LMSA had a newer or older build number, the boot.img may cause a bootloop
[Motorola Moto G20] Radiobuzz:
Yes, it was obtained through LMSA so I'm not sure exactly what was the problem. I side effect I'm facing now is that the phone takes forever to start, quite weird!

EDIT: The only thing I can think of is that I flashed boot on fastbootd, maybe I should have flashed it on the bootloader.
[Motorola Moto G20] sd_shadow:
No, LMSA downloads the newest build on that server.

That doesn't mean it's the same build number that's on your device.

If it's a different build number you need to flash the lmsa version, or the boot.img may not boot correctly.

good afternoon I'm compiling a twrp if it's successful we can create a group and help each other...

Hello, XDA.

I bought a Moto e 2020 Unlocked (Renewed) thru Amazon, and it's apparently Not unlocked.

When powering up, it shows "Xfinity Mobile".

A search in this forum found threads that tell us how to unlock the Bootloader.

Is That what I want? What is the Bootloader?

Will That procedure then make the phone Unlocked, so that I can activate it on RedPocket?

Thanks.

Mark2463
[General Questions and Answers] kuzibri:
Hi, unlocking your device leads, unfortunately, to the lost of your guarantee once you have a problem with it. So, my advice would be: not unlock it. Kind regards, kuzibri
[General Questions and Answers] Mark2463:
Thanks for the reply, Kuzibri, but I Think I'm not worried about the Warranty.

This is a Used (refurbished) device.

Will unlocking the "bootloader" allow me to use it with another service provider?
[General Questions and Answers] kuzibri:
AFAIK, your device is connected to a specific provider and unlocking it does not allow you to choose another provider, but only allows you to downlaod, f.i., apps that are not allowed to be downloaded from the app store or gives you the opportunity to install a different ROM on your device. Kind regards kuzibri
[General Questions and Answers] Mark2463:
Really?

Unlocking it will Not allow moving service to another provider?

Gee... I thought that's usually the Purpose of unlocking these devices.
[General Questions and Answers] kuzibri:
As I already said, unlocking a device does not allow you to switch to another provider. The main purpose of unlocking is to download apps that the Store refuses or to install another custom ROM on your device. If you want another provider, you have to switch from your current provider and choose another one, which, in general, also means another SIM card and if you're lucky, the new provider lets you keep your current phone number, otherwise you will get a new one (rather disturbing IMHO). Regards kuzibri
[General Questions and Answers] Fjildeth:
Hello~ if you're looking for a new service provider, then the 'unlock' you're referring to is probably the network lock, which locks your device to certain network provider/s. So i suggest you search in that direction. regards.
