[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Man, I didn't need to hear that! I ordered a token to unlock my bootloader (XQ-BE62) last Saturday. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger is that they haven't sent the number to allow me to unlock. I'm beginning to think I threw my money away.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
He has XQ-BE72, which I have as well. I am rooted without issues, so he definitely did something wrong along the required steps.

All he needs to do is re-flash the stock firmware and he's up and running again
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
What steps did you follow? I can help you since I have the same model and rooted since Android 12, without issues
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
My blood pressure is returning to normal. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] dennnnnnnis:
I'm on the latest firmware, which is Android 13.

My steps are:

-Download latest firmware with Xperifilm

-Use Unsin to unpack the boot image

-Patch boot image with magisk

-Enter fastboot mode and unlock bootloader with the code from sony website

-Enter flashboot mode and flash firmware with newflasher

-Enter fastboot mode and flash patched boot image

-Reboot and install Magisk, reboot again as instructed by magisk

Yep, just reflash the stock firmware and the phone will boot up again without losing data.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
That sequence is off but not fully

When you patch the magisk image, firstly, you made sure to Unsin the right file, right? Doing the wrong one can trigger that issue

Also, when you patch the image, what command line are you using? Are you patching the boot image as is? Or boot_a and boot_b?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, there's the issue
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] dennnnnnnis:
The file I unsin is boot_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.img

I patch the image using magisk app.

Then I flash the one patched image to boot_a and boot_b.

Something like:

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Anything I did wrong? Thanks for your help!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
I'll PM you :)
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] kubom:
p

Please send me root guide

Thanhks!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
As long as you are helping others can you share that information with me? I rooted a couple of phones a long time ago and all I remember is to be VERY CAREFUL. I finally got a reply to my token order - NINE DAYS AFTER I ORDERED IT. Now I realize I don't know what to do with it. I assume the important bit is the line between the two dashed lines. My hope is that root will get me around the limitations on third party camera apps imposed by the manufacturer. I have been waiting for this since January 2022 when I bought this amazing/frustrating phone, so waiting for your reply is no big deal.:)
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] dennnnnnnis:
May I ask what kind of modification can you do to improve the camera? I tried mcpro24fps but the performance wasn't great for video since I think Sony lock down the camera api. As for photo, it already shoots 12-bit raw, so what kind of improvement can you make?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
I was a Beta tester for several months for the MotionCam Pro app, which allows filming in Raw format. I could never get my Pro-I to work properly. Frame rates were very limited and I could never film for more than a short time before the camera would start dropping frames. As the Pro-I began to heat up the frame dropping would quickly get so bad that the recorded video was useless. I contacted the developers to see if they could identify the problem and they said that Sony had implemented changes to prevent third party apps from working properly - the lockdown you refer to. They said the only way around the problem might be to root the phone. They didn't promise anything, but said rooting would be the only chance. If you are wondering why a company would make a phone with several advanced capabilities and then limit some of them, I have no idea. I have had good luck with Mcpro24fps, but I know there are limits there as well.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Bofahad:
Rooted.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Congratulations! I am (slowly, carefully) working toward rooting my XQ-BE62 (US model) and have some questions. Did you install a Generic System Image? If so can you share details? Also, have you experienced any issues with your phone after rooting?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
I have succeeded in making the bootloader of my XQ-BE62 (US Model) unlockable. I have checked *#*#7378423#*#*, Rooting Status and Bootloader unlock allowed now says "Yes". I have an unlock code. The instructions in the Sony Developer World site say, "Paste the unlock code into fastboot, then do fastboot oem unlock." I have tried every way I can think of to put the lock code into fastboot. When I hold either the Volume up or down key and plug in the USB cable from my laptop to the phone a blue light appears in the upper right corner. That's all. No menu appears. Any help out there?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Bofahad:
You taking it to fastboot not to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

Then unlock your bootloader
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
Been on a bit of emergency sabbatical lol, got your messages!

I will PM you further but that's excellent news!!!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] StormyIceLeopard:
How did you accomplish this, unlocking the bootloader on the US model? I have US Model as well and wish to unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
I sent you a PM.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Click the envelope in the upper right hand corner.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
I was thinking about your disappointing experience with McPro24fps. Since we have the same phone I thought you might like to try my settings. I spent some time going through the menus and trying different settings. These are settings I like and I know they work, but I know there are variations that also work so you can start with my settings and modify to suit. I also saved these settings in the app so its easy to change from one to another. Hope this helps.

Xperia Pro-I US Model (XQ-BE62) ROOTED! 🥳

Thank you Ragu24!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
@SonicSamZ
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] shreddocaster:
i can also confirm, Rooting Status is "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] SonicSamZ:
Awesome! Thanks @Garech for taking the plunge to confirm this for US PRO-I owners, and @ragu24 for assisting with the steps and for the ping.

This is great!!!!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
That's great news! I don't know about you, but now I feel like I finally own the phone I bought 15 months ago. 😊
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] shreddocaster:
hell yeah,! I'm not quite there yet though..

did you have trouble with magisk? after I flashed the patched_boot.img, when I open magisk it tells me to " Upgrade to the full Magisk to finish the setup. Download and install?" so I tapped ok and it is stuck at downloading magisk.. did you do encounter anything link this?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] shreddocaster:
I switched to beta and patched again, seems to work
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Glad to hear it. Current is v26.1
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Stylishly:
Hi Garech, seems like you did a lot of work improving the camera. Would you mind sharing if you have found any noticeable difference in camera performance before/after unlocking your bootloader? It's known that sony wipes DRM which supports some camera features during unlocking. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
I can pitch in since I worked closely with him during root (and have root on my Pro-I myself).

No, it doesn't impact DRM in any way except for the X1 for Mobile display enhancer, which itself just needs the magisk universal safetynet fix to work again.

You lose Widevine L1, but nothing else is impacted otherwise. Camera works 100% fine and possibly better in favt due to the possibility of enhancements via root.

If you wish to see how it fares, here's some pics I took with mines recently (rooted)

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/13oviod

Here's some video samples using video pro too, this is recent (and I'm running and undervolted and underclocked load out even!)

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/145ig0p
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Stylishly:
Thanks you very much for the comprehensive info, that helps a lot! Your photos look great! You mentioned you undervolted and underclocked, does it help extending the battery life?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] ragu24:
Yes! It does!

You can either go all out and underclock heavily at the cost of snappiness and smoothness, or you can - as in my case - tweak the settings so they change on an app to app basis automatically via an app like FKM, or any other Kernel manager

I set the prime core to shut off in some heavy apps, as well as run it at it's efficient frequency outside of apps, say for idling. GPU is can also be now set to go to 855Mhz (slight overclock), however I save that power setting for special apps - I set it lower otherwise as well.

It can also be tweaked to go as low as 150Mhz now, however that's trickier as it's too low for cameras - you need to assign some apps like Photo Pro and Video Pro to raise up on a per app basis (need about 300ish Mhz to run properly). They don't need the full GPU power tho, I find you can drop it a touch and not impact their performance (I set it to 835Mhz).

It's more efficient, slightly drops heat, and also improves batter life all in all!
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] oldchufa:
Could you also send me a PM, please?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Do you mind if I reply to you here?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] oldchufa:
Not at all! Just looking around for any help I can get. I have an Xperia 5 ii that I have successfully rooted, but go my Xperia Pro-i today and saw that it was a stricter process in the US since the bootloader is set not to be unlocked.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
First, I will say that I am a noob, but I stumbled onto the right information had a lot of help. I don't think my helper will mind if I post his name here. Ragu24 was very helpful to me and I believe he is the kind of person who likes to help people. Now, here is the entire text of a response I provided to another Pro-I owner.

There is a small app I used it to unlock my Pro-I. I understand the information used to be posted on XDA, but was taken down because they prohibit selling anything on the system. It is freely discussed on Reddit and possibly the most useful link there is . The title is Bootloader unlock guide for US Xperia 1 IV. Obviously, I wanted to unlock my Pro-I and no one seemed to know whether it would work. As far as I know I have the first US model (XQ-BE62) that was unlocked with this system - or any system. I was told the cost was only about $20 so I decided to take a chance. There's a link in the guide on Reddit to order. I was also told I would need to wait 1 - 3 days. I got mine in 9 days, so you may need to be patient. Also, my cost was 22.95 GBP, which converted to $29.85. My receipt showed the vendor was phonefix.uk. I searched that and easily found a shop in London. What I received was an email with a pair of double dashed lines. Between the lines was a username and password. I followed the Reddit guide to use these, basically a download link to get the qunlock tool, some easy instructions in the guide and it worked the first time, which is good because the username and password only work once. Frankly, after waiting a week and getting nothing I was sure I had been scammed. It does actually work. If you have any questions you can respond or send me a PM. The link to the post in Reddit is:

[Sony Xperia Pro-I] oldchufa:
Thank you so much for the detailed information! However, when I go the networkunlocking link, when I input my IMEI it shows me a message: "service not active". Do you have any ideas what is happening there?
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] Garech:
Sorry to hear that. You might try the direct approach, just contact the vendor directly. The name of the company that sold me my token is Phone Fix. They're actually a computer and phone repair shop in London, England.

The token is called:

Sony Xperia Cable Unlock / FRP Removal - 0 Counter Supported - qUnlock S1 Unlock Tool

Their contact info is:

Web: Phonefix.uk.com

Info@phonefix.uk

+44 1903215090

Address: 131 Balham High Rd, London SW12 9AU, United Kingdom

Best of luck.
[Sony Xperia Pro-I] oldchufa:
Thank you, again, you've been super helpful. I'll reach out to them and see what they can do.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] m0dus:
I recently installed LineageOS onto a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Things function pretty well so far with one glaring exception: the default keyboard is incredibly inconsistent. (Third-party keyboard apps don't fix this issue either.)

What do I mean by this? When I select a text box, the keyboard is meant to pop up and allow me to tap letters with my stylus. This works fine with most software (Iceraven websites, F-Droid's search function, etc.) but doesn't work with other things (Discord app, the Accounts tab, etc.) and I really don't understand what the difference between the text boxes is.

Hello,

I am in Australia and I purchased the LE2115 variant of the Oneplus 9 (the US version), but 5G does not work on it.

I have followed both of these methods (did all the steps required):

and:

I am with Amaysim (Optus), if that helps.

Has anybody else purchased this model for Aus?

[Huawei Watch] tenchi40:
I created a few working watch faces for the GT2 and Watch 3. The only thing I can't figure out is how to create configurable watch faces. There are multiple working watch faces on the watch preinstalled (Watch 3 Pro) where I can switch between 2 styles. How can I do this on my own?
[Huawei Watch] tenchi40:
Actually I fugured out. This description is for Theme Studio version 11.0.10.300

The "Free combination" has to be used when you start building your watch face. Click on Create a new combination and select custom options from the background/time/date/widget dropdowns:

https://prnt.sc/24s8353

https://prnt.sc/24s7ygm

Select their checkboxes and save the combination, repeat for multiple watch variations: https://prnt.sc/24s81tt

You need to add a watch face screenshot to all option groups in background/time/date/widget layers: https://prnt.sc/24s7t5u

When you are creat the AOD, you can't add layers as before, you need to copy them from the normal watch face layers, so first add all AOD layers in all options and copy them. Afterwards delete these layers from the normal view.

Hey,

I,ve tried to find some topics about the issue here, but no luck. When i take a picture in whatsapp, it could take over 10 to 20sec before is shows the photo and lets you send it. I believe this is since A12.

Some say that clearing cache of whatsapp ect would work but is only temporary.

you could just select the normal camera app, in whatsapp, but thats not realy an solution, and take a few more steps.

Does anyone have found a solution for it?>

Hi,

I have a CDMA Touch from Telus Mobility in Canada.

The issue I am having is # rings with incoming calls.

I am using latest Jawbone Bluetooth headset, when I have an incoming call, I receive 2 rings and calls goes to voice mail.

I have called HTC Support and Telus support, they have no solution.

Is there a setting to modify the number of rings for incoming calls?

dave3211
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kueh:
If you're talking about the number of rings before the voicemail kicks in, yes there is a solution if your phone number is in Alberta or BC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NisseDILLIGAF:
I dont know what Alberta or BC is...

but on my phone i do it like this...

Start->Settings->click phone->'Services(dono if it's called this, second tab)

There is a list, in that list there should be (again, dono the english word) 'forward to'

click Get Settings...

now u can set the number of secunds before it connects the call to voicemail..

with the intervals 5,10,15,20,25,30 seconds (at least with my phone provider)

hope this helps :)

3 rings delay in incoming call

Hi,

This might be due to another related issue:

There is delay of 3 rings before the diamond actually starts ringing.

i.e, after the caller has heard 3 rings, only then the diamond starts ringing, and by the time you pick the call, there will be many rings and it will go to answer phone as usual.

As soon as there is an incoming call, the light starts blinking. But there is a delay in the ringer/vibrate. You can try this out by calling from another phone.

This might be cause for your issue.

I too am having the same problem, and I'm searching for a solution. Maybe some cab which fixes the 3 rings dealy in incoming call... I'm sure there must be some such cab. Still going through the threads in the forum.

Could anybody please point us to a fix if you know...

Thks,

Sandeep
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diomark:
I've got the same problem on my touch pro..

It's even worse actually - I'm experimenting, but it seems like half the time the phone *never rings* when wifi is on and if it's asleep...

What the???

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Brendo:
its a setting by your phone provider
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jalfrezi:
yeah ive been testing the same problem with mine ringin from my nokia you hear it ringing out but the touch is still a sleap and bingo like you said 3 rings later it fires into action

ive also searched about - downloaded a new rom but still has the glitch

anyone sorted this out yet !! please post if you have a link to the cure :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Trident:
I think that he's referring to the 3 second delay built into most phones. On earlier devices this was fixed by changing the polling time in the phone programming. (often referred to as the Slot Cycle Index). I haven't tried it on my Diamond as I haven't noticed that much of a lag.

Since I was thinking about it, I decided to try. I changed my SCI from 2 to 0.

I did look and found that I don't have that "Forward to" option in my phone settings. Probably a provider change.
