hmmm I'm doing something wrong but I can't work out what...

I have a TX3 mini which worked over WiFi.

I wanted to update the firmware so I went to the Tanix website and downloaded Tanix TX3 Mini Firmware - put it on a USB stick and stuck it in the box > rebooted box > Android recovery > Apply update from EXT > update from udisk and it worked (but without WiFi).

So then I downloaded the file from your link: TX3mini_S905W2_20211115 which was a .img file and has WiFi. Because its an .img, I can't just put it on a USB and do the same as above - so used Burn Card Maker but on USB. When I stick it in the tv box and go to update from udisk, it doesn't show the file.

So then I tried slimBOXtv - the file: sbx_tanix_tx3_mini_plus_atv_11_15 which downloads as a zip - same process - shows and begins installation but fails saying there is an error in the footer.

So then I tried the same file but via Burn Card Maker - put it in the tv box - reboot and go to update from udisk... and it doesn't show the file.

Put me out of my misery - what am i doing wrong??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
Make sure you know what device you have.

Tanix TX3 Mini (S905W) isn't the same as Tanix TX3 Mini + (S905W2). Different SoCs and different firmwares.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mitzmitz:
i defo have the TX3 Mini - but it worked with WiFi before i update the firmware with software from the Tanix website.

What file should I use for TX3 Mini but with WiFi enabled?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Too many device revisions and clones, don't guess, open the box and check on the board.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mitzmitz:
hey - i opened it up... does this help? thanks :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
Ok, so you are on the wrong topic, this is for the Tanix TX3 Mini + (new S905W2 SoC), you have the older model with the S905W SoC.

Anyway, if you're going to try firmware updating, you should really get an USB A - A cable like this and use USB Burning Tool.

I found a good deal on a

Amazon Fire TV Cube From Verizon (https://bit.ly/3zS0dMl )

Seems do be a good deal, but on of the commenters said they heard that you cannot install apps from "inknown souces"

Is there an XDA section or thread on this "Verizon" device?

I have a feeling the pro here at XDA know all about this device and could shed some light about it.

I usually root my Android phones (Samsung Note's) and I've never tinkered with a fire stick/ cube.

THank you for any information on this subject!

[Sony Xperia 1 III] cjmovie:
I was able to flash my XQ-BC62 (US) model with the XQ-BC42 (JP) firmware using newflasher. Everything seems to work OK except the mobile radio. The radio is completely disabled (as reported by *#*#4636#*#* status screens), not just unable to connect. The hardware is still fine since flashing back to XQ-BC62 firmware gets a signal again.

Unfortunately I need to use XQ-BC42 as the other firmware images are missing the VoLTE support for my JP carrier and it fails to provision. At best I can force it into data only mode by setting radio to LTE only. The carrier does not support 3G at all.

Extra steps I tried:

- Perform factory reset after flashing

- Swap out the files for the modem firmware from the US firmware and reflash

Has anyone had luck with this, or are there any additional steps I might need to try?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
This phone keeps getting worse. I literally bought it to use in the US and Japan. Sony support said it is officially unsupported by all US telcos. No SA 5G, no VoNR, no VoWiFi. Now I hear that it doesn't work in Japan?!

I already know it's close to useless in French Polynesia despite having all the right radio bands.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] OhayouBaka:
You can try swapping both OEM-xxx.sin files from the XQ-BC42 firmware folder into the XQ-BC62 firmware folder and flash there XQ-BC62 firmware with that, then you should be able to get VoLTE and modem working at the same time.

If that doesn't work, there are other methods but they will require root access.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Hudrator:
Might you elabortate a bit on this?

So which modell? which provider? comeing form a country where all of these 5G related features are just in development this would be nice to get some further informations on this topic.

VoWiFi is highly likely a provider "problem" - as we have another thread here where these "offical support" statements are at least highly questionable, as we have multiple users here using VoWiFi.

Here is one example of an answer one got from sony

https://xdaforums.com/t/t-mobile-usa-volte-and-vowifi-support.4352253/post-85838381

What is not working in French Polynesia?

Which carrier are you talking about? using a second sim card or use roaming capabilites? keep in mind that not all providers might allow access to all availeable networks based on there roaming contracts. just to give you a idea check these information from one of the providers over ther

https://www.vini.pf/sites/default/files/docs/liste_partenaires_vini-roaming_dec17.pdf

I took my device through several countries already not one having trouble with connectivity as long as the bands are supported and there.

On my trips to japan i head several different devices with me over the yeras, beside the xperia, not once having problems as long as the bands where supported / one is using a local sim - card.

Did you try to get in contact with the japanese carrier asking if they are supporting VoLTE for devices from other markets?

Maybe the easiest way would to switch your carrier at all.

If you are willing to dig around more you could try something like this

https://xdaforums.com/t/5ii-1-5iii-...release-the-root.4363269/page-2#post-86129941

But you will need the profiles for your vendor. One could play around and try to integrate these profiles into your XQ-BC62 Firmware and see if this would work out. But well - keep fingers crossed that you don't brick anything.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cjmovie:
I'll give this a try and report back. Thanks!

No, they don't support overseas models. I don't know if it's ignorance around the security or an attempt to prop up their own phone sales. Both are honestly believable over here.

This is the only reasonably priced major carrier plan with unlimited international roaming included (ahamo from NTT Docomo). Not being able to use the 1 iii sucks but I'll just write the 1 iii off if it can't be fixed and continue using my JP variant 1 ii.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Hudrator:
sad to hear - but just out of curiosity:

Why did you get yourself the "American" Variant? Docomo has, as well as softbank, there own supported devices. Kind of similar to TMobile US. Sounds you are spending most of the time in japan. I know that the Docomo version isn't so well supported regarding updates though ...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
I have the US model - the same as this thread topic.

It's Sony tech support themselves that told me that there is no carrier support for the US model in the US. It was such an incredible conversation that I saved it. An excerpt:

Don't repeat Sony's claim about 5G being in development. T-Mobile has been running SA 5G where I live for nearly 2 years. I've done side-by-side comparisons between an older phone with SA 5G and my Xperia by swapping the SIM. The XPeria has a lot of "no service" problems because it's using SA 5G channel aggregations without having SA 5G. There's another thread on this - Sony has explicitly disabled SA 5G on all US NR bands. https://cacombos.com/device/XQ-BC62

The Sony phone was unstable roaming in PF and could not see several 3G, LTE, and 5G bands that were available to it. Again, an older phone worked better. I used a much more modern coverage map than your 2017 document.

I haven't been to Japan with this my Xperia yet due to COVID restrictions, but I normally spend ~2 weeks a year there. I know my old phone works well there so I'm going to be mad if a new Xperia is stuck looking for old 3G cells that only exist in subways.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] playstation360:
I have an XQ-BC42 that I'm using in Europe with 5G working (which isn't supported officially).

All I had to do was flash the XQ-BC42 firmware with the following 3 files replaced by their equivalents from the XQ-BC52 firmware:

* modem_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.sin

* modemst1_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.sin

* modemst1_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.sin

So in your case you just have to take the 3 files above from the XQ-BC42 firmware and combine them with everything else from XQ-BC62 firmware and flash that.

From what I've gathered, assuming your phone has XQ-BC62 firmware on it already, it might only be necessary to flash the XQ-BC42 modem files and nothing else, but I haven't tested this.

I'm assuming you can swap other files too but what definitely didn't work for me was the oem .sin files from another model's firmware. I don't know if there's something incompatible about the XQ-BC42 compared with other models but using non-XQ-BC42 oem .sin files disabled my radio completely.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Hudrator:
no, i am not saying it is under development. The standards are there. How ever - in different regions some of the 5g is still not rolled out / will never been seen (mmWave,SA 5G - at least for private customers).

Well i read the message you quoted a bit different - and i would love to know what other carriers have to say about that.

I personally would find it completly unlogic to sell a device like the Pro, which is said in your excerpt, to have 5G support on Verizon - but then sell the 5G capable phones which have this deactivated at all.

Source:

Sony Electronics

electronics.sony.com

Might be, that t-mobile is using some more advanced features. how ever: here where i live most phones up to now don't support 5G SA, at least thats what the carriers say, as there are updates needed to make this work. So we will see here some selected phones using 5G SA - as the providers are working together with SOME of the major OEMs.

You can know ask who is responsible for supporting 5G SA or providing updates... As much as i got from t-mobile usa, they where always not really open to devices, which they don't sell directly ....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cjmovie:
I happened to be in the US at the time to pre-order and it wasn't clear that Sony would release an unlocked dual-SIM model for the JP market. I checked the radio bands before purchasing but all of this client provisioning stuff is new to me. Seems like all these laws were made to force carriers to unlock their phones / allow any standards compliant phone on their networks, and then they find this loophole with provisioning that requires more than just a SIM card...

Unfortunately this didn't work. But I did learn that the radio problem isn't an issue with the firmware itself.

Immediately after flashing the mobile radio was OK and I could use it with my alternate SIM card. As soon as I inserted the JP SIM card it triggered OMA client provisioning and killed the radio. After this happened not even the US SIM card would work anymore, and any radio related configurations can no longer be changed.

My hypotheses at this point are either (a) the client provisioning step found something off with my phone and forced it to lock down (not sure if client provisioning has the authority to do this though), (b) the client provisioning is interacting with the modem firmware in a JP-specific way and the US modem firmware is borked by this.

Other than the issue after provisioning the OEM files from the JP model did work for me. If (b) is true then flashing both the oem and modem files might be a solution. I'll give that a try!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cjmovie:
Same result, no radio after client provisioning runs and it stays borked even with the SIM card swapped out.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] playstation360:
Have you tried with only the modem files taken from the XQ-BC42 firmware? Might be worth a shot.

Also, it might be worth asking on the 5ch thread if you speak Japanese.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cjmovie:
I spent a few more days trying various combinations of flashing, factory resets, etc. and finally have it working. I don't know if this is the only way to achieve this, but I can share the sequence I did most recently. This was inspired by the discussions in that 5ch thread - thanks for the link!

1. Install JP variant ROM with full factory reset.

2. Install the JP SIM card and wait for provisioning to finish. The radio stops working at this point.

3. Create and flash a hybrid ROM, using the modem*.sin files from the JP variant and everything else from the original (US) variant. Do NOT factory reset.

4. Set the correct APN (sp-mode.net for ドコモ).

After this both the JP and US SIM cards are working.

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 Nougat 7.11

I used NetMonster from the Play Store (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster) which caused my problem.

I used the option: Select radio band. I got the info: Setting the United States band mode successful OK.

Since there is no other choice and the settings have not returned, there was no GSM network service, the GSM icon is not active, when an attempt is made to make a voice connection, the icon appears with a white circle with a dash in the middle (entry prohibited).

The service mode is signaled by the radio and antenna being turned off.

The reset was, still not searching the network, neither auto nor manual.

Another SIM is also not working.

In safe (emergency) mode no.
