It's not that easy!

Install FlashTool.

You have to set your windows computer to a mode where it does accept unsigned drivers. Please search the internet how to do that.

You have to install the drivers that are residing in a subdirectory named "drivers" of the FlashTool directory.

You need fastboot, the next one (name forgotten) and sony z5 compact drivers (I hope, I remember the names correctly)

Start FlashTool.

Click on the XP button.

Now XPeriFirm should start. If not, there is no way to get the firmware this way.

Maybe you can download XPeriFirm manually, but that hasn't worked here.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berni-0815:
If you do not know what you are doing, you should consult the internet for further answers.

I haven't used FlashTool since a very long time.

So I can't say if it is still working as expected.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berni-0815:
Edit:

You have to download XPeriFirm from here.

Expand the zip file and copy the file "XperiFirm-x64.exe" (or "XperiFirm-x86.exe", if you are working in a 32 bit environment) as "XperiFirm.exe" to the folder <users>/<your_user_name>/.flashTool

Then the XF button in FlashTool is working (see attached pictures)

Thanks a lot for your kind reply. I want to understand why is my xperia z5 compact which I bought last month from ebay as new unlocked ( running lollipop) keeps displaying the message your device is up to date when I check for updates through setting/about phone/ software updates. Whereas there are two updates officially launched which is android 6 then android 7.1.1. by sony. And how to manually makes these updates? Thanks in advance

NFC is there or not.... but with punched sony z5 compacts from china / hong kong nfc will not work same as LTE 800 MHz 20 you will be out of signal.... :) your imei is not 35428207...... Iam Sure.... :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbakhshawangy:
Thank you. You are right. But is LTE does not work at all in this case or partially? And is there any solution for this problem like a third party application or any solution? Thanks in advance.

LTE will work.... but not 800MHz LTE Band 20. Instead, there is LTE Band 19, which is used only in Japan. LTE 1800MHz band 3 , 2100MHz Band 1 or 2600MHz Band 7 will work. Problem is signal outer the Cities.... in the Villages, operators use only 800MHz LTE there.... better area 4 signal distribution than 1800 and 2100MHz.

So you will have signal in the city.... but maybe nothing at a cottage... or you will loose signal on the road.

you can check this Czech program, at googleplay, yes it´s Czech made free and perfect- no ads, and you see in the log or real-time where are you are or have been connected.... frequencies and lots of datas.... i love this programme. I am not sure if it woks abroad.... but it should.... or try some simmilar program.

NFCs antennas are not included, in japanese models, they were not-available, and I think in some pieces they are added....but they still will not work, because some restriction still is there in Cracked-rooted Firmware E5823 something japanese is still there :) So no if you want NFC, LTE 800.... buy used Z5 compact from original distribution. I have 3 new pieces now :) like a new, I have refubrished them by myself.... Like a new :) Original Sony LCDs original sony batteries, original IMEI motherboards, original sony case interior. Just perfect. Mine hobby.

I would like to use NFC for opening doors in the garage instead of chip on the keys.... it should work, but don´t know "how to."... maybe it is possible :) If i want to take money from ATM, there is NFC lock on doors, if i acivate NFC, it opens the doors :) it is good :) But how to open doors with NFC in da house.... :)

I must ask somebody if it is possible.... I like openning the doors with NFC :) I dont use it for payment, but for opening the doors :)

I have lost the keys one day in a car, and doors locked.... 2:00 AM WTF! I had to get out of the garrage and knocked on someones window 2:00 AM freezing..... please help me :-) :-) This NFC unlocking should be very very good :-) in this situation. I had to little crash the doors to get to the garrage and mine keys :-)

Is the fingerprint working in the models you have? As it was stated that the fingerprint is not available in the US market. If they are like new exactly and have all the features work, I want to buy a black colored one so what is the price?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbakhshawangy:
So there is no solution for the nfc problem?

But as I understand, this is not Japanese version , i.e this is not SO-02H, but it is E5823 as you know. In the japanese version SO-02H, there is no NFC as indicated in the specs. Mine has NFC, I doenloaded app to check and it said yes support NFC. I have NFC icon but does not turn on. When I turn it on , it gets gry and then returns off. So, still do not understand why NFC does not work? And is there a solution for this problem?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbakhshawangy:
So, can I use NFC while it is turnning off?. As it is exist and the antenna exists. and if I understands well from your reply, it is a software issues in the japanese fixed program. If yes how can I fix this? Can I use the NFC while it is off? and in what applications? I want to aslo ask if the one I have is not original?. My imei is :354187076594552. Thank you for your kind help.

A weird thing is when I enter to Google the IMEI to check it will say z5 not Z5 compact. So, I am very confused, I bought it new from ebay.

Hello, fingerprint we have from the beginning since 2015 in EU :) I don´t understand why in US it was not available.... My brain doesnot takes it :) maybe mafia cutting fingers in US :) :) italian style... :) but models sold in Italy are with finger print sensor :) I am sure... Maybe some one from Sony in Japan knows, why US don´t have fingerprint sensors activated... or why they are deactivated :)

I have 3 white like a new, now i want to rebuild 4.th piece.... No black. Only Whites, because black doesnot matter :) only white are :) perfect.... Im joking....but yes only white packs are original SONY. Blacks are copies.

frames complete with lcd and glass by SONY, so i dont need to be ****ed with glue :) problem. There are only white megapacks available in EU- frame+ lcd + screen glued from Sony. And sorry it is not possible to send it to USA,

duties and taxes are BIG comedy in EU....

Open back doors.... easily... watch back side..... both hands ready and right hand push front frame, left hand push backwards..frame.. push... and use nail or something... when you see space, i start near camera---- guitar pick and open the phone from back.... glue will work after... no problem.... if you make it clever.... pop it up... and there must be NFC antenna on batery.... sticked.... if not, you dont have NFC :)

toothpick also works fine when you want to enter Z5c from behind :) bambooo quality toothpick-not copies :) easy rotate... with toothpick down .... and it will open :) if there is not NFC antenna, you can be sure, you are not first who opened this phone :) A: it is SO-02H cracked to E5823 so without NFC, or B: someone stole it :) whed changed batery.... and destroyed it :)

I know it is difficult to remove NFC antenna for the first time. when you want get to the motherboard and everything...... you will destroy it.... I know... it si not easy for first time to pop it off.... I have destroyed one- .... but I know.... Now i Know....needle you need to take NFC off the batery, but you must be very very carefull :)

If you disassamble NFC.... okey you can reassamble Z5 compact complete... :) disassamble NFC is first difficult step, and not easy.

I am sure, you don´t have NFC upon batery.... it is missing.... so that´s what I think.... software says you have, real hardware check says no you dont have NFC man :)

Thank you for your reply. Now I am on Vodafone Egypt carrier, ialthough it works on B3(1800mhz), LTE is not stable gives empty triangle, and while doing so, NFC continues trying to turn on but it turns grey when it is in turn on position. So question is why it is not stable on 1800 frequency?, Vodafone in my place works on B3(1800)?

This is Fake.... refurbished model. But not from original parts--- from fake cheap parts....

If you want original SONY, you can only try to find used models of Z5 compacts.... and ask seller for IMEI 35428207.....

These are originals E5823 with fingerprint NFC and all...

These are only originals.... That´s how it is.... Used originals are better than new refurbished sh!ts....

There are original packs still new Sony -(new LCD,screen, frame). All in one on Ebay.... but I will not tell link.... it is secret :) :) If I paste it here, there will be not more :).... so try find it...

Buy screwdriver.... and you can re-new Z5 compact to new..... there are lots of instructions on net....

and change battery... after that you will have new Z5 compact Exklusive... as I have few pieces.... :)

You only need small fingers... sensitive :) to do that.... and good eyes.... with macro function available :)

Hands must be "notworking hard hands :)" mega sensitive.... and you can do that :) Gentle work....

Hmmmmm maybe I have Japanese fingers..... oh yes :) My hands dont like to work hard... but this is what they like.... no problem 4 me :) I dont need any tools.... only mine fingers and nails... :) and 1 screwdriver.

This phone is soooo perfect I LOVE IT...

Time after time.... there are great models...

but you have to find it not at ebay.com but at ebay.de :)

This piece for example is awesome.... you dont have to be cared that seller dont have prices for out-of country delivery..... you bought it, you make business :)

Thats how it works... but better to find real originals at ebay.de than at ebay,com. Thats it :.-) In Germany all sellers hmmm 80% have originals.... Xpensive ...... if used... but do not buy refurbished :)new sh!ts.... thats the magic :)

[Sony Xperia 1 III] JakeTheDane:
Hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to change the saturation on the Sony Xperia 1 III

I'm used to setting a high saturation on All my screens since i love when colors pop

So i find the screen rather dull to look at, especially in games.

Changing the normal white balance doesn't really satisfy me as it doesn't make the screen more vibrant

Thanks for any help :)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Hi,

in past, for older xperia devices there was "vivid mode' within screen options in settings.

Unfortunately, sone as a company obsessed to remove features and options its fans loved decided to remove this feature among the others too.

Now we have only normal and washed out (creator) modes...

The only thing is to e-mail official sony support hoping they will pass this info to sony xperia software division internally.

Tbh, on a software level what sony does with its devices is horrible. Thank's god I was able to download sony album app from Internet and it works. This app was removed too... If it didn't work for me, I would return this device. Now happy with having sony album.

Unfortunately screen vivid mode was not an app but just integrated setting :(

I am missing it too.

I know this is probably the opposite of what you want to read, and I'm just a simple active user of my phone, but I'd say, don't get too frustrated with battery life / SOT. I'd say it just is what it is.

If you adjust your phone to as much battery saving as possible, it's probably not fun, because you have so many cool awesome features on the Poco F3, like 120 Hz and MEMC for YouTube etc...

I'd say if you want to keep Bluetooth on to receive notifications and calls on your smartwatch then just go ahead.

Instead of going for maximum battery saving, you could go for a balance of enabling some of the cool features and ditching the ones you don't want as much, like AOD or a 2. sim-card..

I don't know if this reply is any helpful, probably not, but what gives シ

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] esszett:
Haha, thanks for your answer ;)

Indeed, I have set up the phone according to my needs and wishes and I am disappointed that contrary to the logical assumption (that a larger battery and an OLED display promise longer runtimes), the runtime has decreased significantly compared to the F1.

I'm not limiting myself, if that's how you understood my post. I have to limit the phone and turn off all the unnecessary stuff, because a smartphone is more a useful tool than a toy for me. I don't need permanent location tracking. Most of the time I know where I am and where I want to go. If not: It takes 2-3 seconds for the GPS to find me after switching on... I don't need 120 Hz, because I don't see any difference in my usecases... Beyond that, I don't need a smartwatch either. I'm glad I don't have to wear a watch anymore since there are mobile phones.... And after all, I don't need to be permanently available via chat. Whoever has something important to say can call me. Otherwise this one can wait for an answer... When my smartphone is locked, so the screen is off, it should be quiet, unless it is important or I explicitly want to get notified. If it's constantly blinking, vibrating or jingling, I would never get to work ;)

I know, it sounds not very trendy: Many of the "innovative" features bring solutions to problems that I didn't/don't have.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Tomek0000:
Good idea. When I used mi 9 lite or poco x3 nfc I was able to use my phone from 3 to 5 days without chargeing. Now I have poco f3 and I have to change something. Ok, I use only LOS from years on all my devices ... maybe time to change ...

My way to manage battery was and is now is a script in Automagic. When I lock the screen I turn off interfaces like wifi, mobile data, locatin/gps, bluetooth, nfc, (cellular in tablets without card) and turn on when screen is unlocked. Never use airplane mode for cut LTE signal and smses. When the phone is locked more than 60 minutes I turn on battery saver mode.

Of course , each device has predefined which interface can be turned off ... Autostart I control in SDMaid. If I cut init signals app will not be able to start and use energy in background in exception I will call it. (The games are the best example to want do something in background what is absolutely not needed for me) I never freeze any apps neither overeclock cpu nor undervoltage gpu.

This what I see on my new F3 is no power after 40 hours of work. I found wakelock in LOS but blocking it in Optimus does not change many - I see deep sleep but 1%/h night lost is not very big difference when I had no deep sleep in LOS kernel. Baallam is empty of this problem but 1%-0.9% is the same result.

I have to say goodbye to LOS , I afraid.

Today I have active drain 8%/h, idle drain 0.86%/h (LOS 18.1 and baalam).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] esszett:
To be honest, I am OK with the battery backup of the F3. With all the modifications I could now at least manage to equalise the running time of the F1 (with LOS 16, Android Pie). But considering that the battery of the F3 is 500 mAh bigger than that of the F1, this is somehow quite bad.

Now, however, I have recently received a battery dump of my old F1, with Havoc 4 (Android 11, without major optimisations). The analysis shows a significantly lower runtime and at the same time a significantly lower sum of call time and SOT as it was with Android 9. This suggests that Android itself is a major contributor to the fact that consumption has increased significantly in recent years (with the same hardware).

@Tomek0000

I had the problem that the consumption in idle mode suddenly increased massively. After each restart everything was fine, but at a certain point the consumption was like hell. Although I could never find the cause, I found a solution: I was able to prevent this by freezing most of the apps as soon as I turn off the screen (with SuperFreeze). Now the idle drain keeps low over the whole runtime.

The last run with the F3 (Havoc 4.14, NOKernel 2.3 battery, CPU underclocked, GPU undervolted):

Run time: 158 hours (about 6.5 days).

SOT: 9 hours

Phone calls: 1 hour
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Tomek0000:
I have played with havoc yesterday and have results from the night. I moved my card to old x3 nfc and night lost of energy is 0.25% without freezing, down voltage or airplane mode. The havoc in F3 eats 1% of battery during each night hour and it was without using gsm card suppoort! I thought, havoc is better in this subject and additionaly has adaptive charging and wakelock blocker. No it is not better. Adaptive charging does not work and wakelock blocker blocks but not wakelocks. I did not find wakelocks on its list. I do not know what is on this list ... it is all but not wakelocks.

Ok I invested time in havoc and I will play with it some time, but card will be in x3, and ... LOS is better in the first sight.

I know, you will suggest additional apps (freezing ...) , but I will use it when I will decide which custom rom will be the best for it.

I think, I made a big mistake when I decided to buy new smartfon with snap 8xx. It should be 778 or 780. This is excelent lesson for the future.

Havoc has the same wakelock problem like LOS and it has to be result of MIUI 12.5.6.0 using as a base. Ironic ... build in wakelock blocker does not see it at all. When I will finish with Havoc I will have to use older MIUI as a base.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vulnerability:
Let me know how you's go with this. I seem to have this same wake lock regardless of which ROM I use, losing 7-8% battery OVERNIGHT is far from normal.

I'm currently on HelluvaOS "HOS" 12 on base V12.5.6.0.RKHMIXM, as far as I recall the issue was present on older bases back from when I bought my F3 on launch.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Tomek0000:
The way to fix the wakelock is to block it. Havoc has not working wakelock block. You have to use optimus or ballam kernel. The both have working blocker. Optimus will block it but ( a supprise) ballam does not have this wakelock problem. This is my experience from time of use LOS 18.1. I tested N0Kernel 2.3 too, but it doubling energy use and does not have blocker.

Did you write, the c440000.qcom,spmi:qcom,pm8150b@2:qcom,qpnp-smb5 problem exists from earlier versions of MIUI ? Is not only in 12.5.6.0 ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Tomek0000:
Does this wakelock exists in earlier miui versions? Which version number has the oldest you tried?
