Hello all

Probably not the best topic to submit my questions but final goal is to install LOS 20!

I'm starting from a stock xz1 compact and already stuck at step1 ... unlock bootloader... quite demoralizing...

I have OEM unlock and usb debugging activated in dev settings

I downloaded adb folder, usb driver folder, I have restarted my computer

When I plug my phone and it's ON, I see it in device manager,

I can update driver, it says it's already uptodate, I can do "adb devices" and I see my phone in cmd window,

I can do "adb reboot bootloader", screen goes OFF, then usb driver looks not ok

when I try to load usb driver folder,

windows "didn't find any driver for my device"

"fastboot device" -> nothing show up

Unplug phone and replug while volume up, same behaviour

Uninstall driver in device manager, plug again, tried again to load driver, no success

Also tried to install several legacy drivers

reboot computer, still get nothing when I type "fastboot devices" :(

I tried another USB cable, another USB port, another windows 10 computer

I also tried "xperia flashtool", click the BLU button, and I got the same error listed here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/xperia-flas...ring-because-this-phoneprops-is-null.4251129/

Finally tried fasttool downloaded from

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/

running emma, connecting phone while volume down is pressed

Doesn't seem a way to unlock bootloader...

Any idea what i am missing?

thanks a lot

Hi, don't worry about that. Just mention which ROM you are using, @petefoth is very nice and he is always willing to help~ I was just a bit busy recently and haven't check xda for a while.

The thread is for everyone, feel free to discuss in the thread. All your discussions and contributions are welcomed.

Btw, merry Xmas~~

I had a very similar issue during the process of downgrading my stock in order to backup the TA keys; must have tried 5 different ADB drivers before I got one that worked. I remember it still showed a yellow triangle in Device Manager but adb detected it in bootloader so I was able to proceed...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] cailloup:
I have android auto not working but according to some previous messages it's a known issue of lineage and other distribution

I also have gps lock not working properly

I got one lock after 10+minutes driving

Seems like approximate prosition from wifi and network is not working

"use exact position" is ticked, location is allowed is the apps I tried (google maps and 2 others)

I also tried "GPStest" app, delete assistance data, and waited 15min outside but that may be not enough

Is there a trick to get gps lock?

BTW. Since release of this ROM, newer Mind The Gapps were released for Lineage 20, and they bring more compatibility with other apps:

Initial feedback for new build:

lineage-20.0-20230108-UNOFFICIAL-1.1-lilac (Security Patch Jan 5, 23)

twrp-3.7.0_9-0-lilac

MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20221025_100653.zip

(clean flash from 47.2.A.11.228-R3C)

Seems to run without problems (except 5G wifi??)

Camera working (photo and video, default app and OpenCamera tested)

Wifi (2.4), Mobile data working (T-Mobile DE prepaid sim), 4G+ connected

Smooth, no lags noticed

Auto brightness, GPS, flashlight, bluetooth working

Not sure

VoLTE and Wifi call are selectable (both not tested if really working)

I doubt that 5G wifi ist working, haven't seen it switching in my dual-band setup so far, even on heavy load :confused:

Observations:

I could not copy zip files via USB/MTP to TWRP, had to use adb push lineage-20....zip /sdcard/.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jimmygumble:
Thanks.

Highly tempted to upgrade from Lineage 19.1

Do you know if Google pay works out of the box?

I'm on Flamefires Lineage 19.1 build from the other thread which supports it without needing to install Magisk.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] allofmex:
I'm not using Google pay.

But Wallet app is opening without complaints and If I click "add card" it shows me the cards linked to the google account. I did not went farther, but it may work.

(No root/Magisk installed)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
Until further notice, please use the TWRP from derf. Download link is in #1, the official builds on TWRP website doesn't have decryption so far. This is why you can't use MTP.

I don't notice any issue with 5GHz wifi so far. (I have separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so don't know whether auto switch works anyway. Does that work on old builds?)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] norabitox:
Me too
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
Hey, just wanted to use this chance to talk about a few bugs I saw:

- The statusbar brightness control is inconsistent. Sometimes works, sometimes doesnt.

- The prevent ringing gesture doesnt work. Also It's preview animation is missing

- Reducing saturation in Live Display over 50% makes the screen black and white.

- Settings > Security > Screen Lock settings > Touch fingerprint to unlock doesn't do anything.

That's all I've found until now, though I still havent tried the new build yet. Maybe some of these bugs are gone, or perhaps some of these bugs are connected to upstream and aren't device specific.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] cailloup:
5GHz wifi also working for on previous bluid with separate SSID

However, using the TWRP in #1, MTP didn't work, I used SDcard to transfer file

Thanks a lot for update, will try it soon
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
I was confused about the official TWRP 3.7 since it was supposed to have A12/13 decrypt support. Turns out TWRP has different branches - android 9, 11 and 12. The 12 is what you need, while our official recovery is 3.7.0_9.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] cailloup:
I flashed the new build without any wipe

It seems to be working fine

It solves my issue with wifi/network approximate position on google maps :) (maybe installing again the previous build and mindthegapps would have solved it also but I didn't try)

I have an app that refuses to run because it says my device is rooted. I didn't install root, only lineage, so I guess it's seing a custom rom and assume I'm rooted.

According to some other topics, I should be able to avoid the problem with magisk hide

Is there a simpler solution ?

If no, I'm a bit confused about magisk.

OP says

"Don't flash ROMs or Magisk modules which set SELinux to permissive or you welcome malware on your device!"

So it's only some magisk module that creates problem ? will it be ok with whay I need?

here there are several way to install:

Hi, I'm looking forward to update my phone to your new version this weekend. Thank you for your work.

However the one thing I miss a lot since I installed lineage is sony's stock camera. I've read :

Is there a workaround for this ?

From what I understand, it means that since android 11 it is incompatible. But Sony has phones with android > 11 and a sony camera app. What if we try to install one of these on the XZ1c ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] norabitox:
Yes that's right

You probably need safetynet-fix-v2.3.1-MOD_2.1.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Rrreutel:
Not quite the same experience, but there's a magisk module for the Sony stock camera app, it's limited in functionality (I think no manual control mode, no working panorama, some other modes like AR not working) but you can take basic pictures and video with it. (there's more modules in that gitlab like smartcharger, which looks like it's working (UI), but doesn't actually limit charge on XZ1C devices, probably wrong libraries in the module for these devices)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] gladykov:
Slowmo does not work 😞 Some Sony libs were not updated for newer Androids. So this Github module app will give you only UI.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] gladykov:
Status bar thingy was always funky. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who likes desaturated screen, but saturation bug is present for few versions already.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] gladykov:
Upgraded to latest ver. All nice and good. Amazing to have such dedicated community!

Android auto is still not working on latest update

Has someone make it work?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Brickt0p:
I have updated to 1.1 successfully, Rom runs smooth and stable :)

But unfortunately my Google Play Store isn't working anymore (you are offline).

Flashing the latest MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20221025_100653 didn't solved this.

Has someone an idea on how to fix this without having to wipe data?

woow ... that's a scary tutorial o_O
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] knives of ice:
Here are some things I've learned and/or used to solve things and make this phone how I want it in the first month of so of ownership:

- install all the Androplus magisk modules

- if you search for "more dark mode options" in settings you can choose to force whatever app you want into dark mode. this one took me awhile to figure out

- if you are rooted and have any problem getting notifications use the app DozeOff from the Fdroid store

- if you want to see screen on time install digital wellbeing from the play store, no app will appear installed but you can use the app activity launcher to open it, then in settings you can choose to have the app appear.

- for some reason forcing desktop mode in chrome android does not work for me after turning the chrome flag on, but using the app Chrome UA forces chrome to display websites in desktop mode as default each time instead of mobile

- use vivid navigation gestures so you have gestures with a 3rd party launcher

- if you want to use a 3rd party app and hide the nav bar, use the magisk module Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures q-t, us the androplus modele Hide Status bar to get a truly fullscreen phone when unfolded.

- are you not getting the latest MIUI update and also want to stay rooted with magisk? install MIUI downloader from the play store, grab the latest software there you want the full version. go to miui updates in settings and tap on the icon 10 times, you will now have the option to flash update files. install the magisk module MIUI flash freely. you can now flash a full rom update from the file you downloaded. flash the update but don't reboot. go to magisk and install magisk to inactive slot OTA. you'll now have the latest version of MIUI and won't have to wait.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dooley19:
Hi, I 'm not understanding your way of updating. When you say go to miui udates in setings, what settings? In the app or the phone settingts? tap what icon 10 times?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] knives of ice:
How to install MIUI updates manually / early - Xiaomiui.Net

Xiaomi continues to release updates for their devices but sometimes these updates may take longer to arrive than normal. With this guide we are going to teach

xiaomiui.net

just follow that, then you have to install the magisk module to be able to install the local file
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dooley19:
Okay thanks
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dooley19:
Phone updated on its own. I had to reboot to turn on the setting to press 10 times. When I rebooted. It was on the new firmware but I'm not rooted anymore
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] frcraig:
You have to turn off auto update in Developer Settings.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dooley19:
So now I have to root it again like I did the first time rooting?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] frcraig:
Yes. Auto update must be disabled both in Settings and in Developer Options. You can manually update, but to preserve root you must carefully follow the instructions knives of ice and I have posted on the forum.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dooley19:
Okay thanks I'm now rooted again and I turned off auto update. Any good modules to download? I have the android auto one and the MIUI China to Global.

Anyone else had issues with voice calls sounding absolutely awful for the other person?

Apparently it sounds like I'm under water and doesn't sound great at all. I then recorded a phonecall with someone and can confirm that my end sounds absolutely awful.

I'm in the UK and using Giffgaff if that counts at all.

EDIT: Had a SIM from Three arrive that I ordered 'cause I'm off to the US next week, just made a phonecall with that and the quality was a typical normal quality, not an underwater sounding mess. So whatever it is, it's something to do with Giffgaff and the phone (it works perfectly fine on my previous phone).
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] frcraig:
Do you have VoLTE enabled? The VoLTE toggle appears in Settings/Mobile Network/SIM if coded on your SIM Card. Some SIMs, like those from T-Mobile, allow this automatically. With some carriers you have to get around the fact that this is not an "approved device" on their Network. Use the dial code * # * # 86583 # * # * to disable carrier check and the VoLTE option will appear. If it is working you will get an HD symbol before or above your cell signal bars in the system notifications tray. Without VoLTE enabled, even though you are connected to a 4G or 5G network, voice calls fall back and connect on the old 3G networks. To see if you have correctly enabled VoLTE look at your system notifications tray and note what you are connected to - ie 4G. Now place a voice call and see if it stays on 4G or whether it changes to H, H+, HSPA, or 3G. If it drops, then you don't have VoLTE enabled. If the code to disable the carrier check doesn't work, you can unlock the bootloader, root with Magisk, and install a VoLTE Enabler module. Voice quality on 3G is poor compared to VoLTE (which carries voice calls over 4G or 5G). The Americans have shut down their 3G towers so you won't be able to place voice calls in the States unless you get this settled. Alternatively, when you land in the US you can connect to the airport's WiFi and download the Google Voice app, get a free American phone number, and you can then place free phone calls in the US and Canada to American and Canadian numbers, and for just a few pence call home. Google Voice uses mobile data, so it will work anywhere in the US over 4G or 5G data. Unfortunately GiffGaff doesn't have any roaming arrangements with US carriers (it only has EU roaming partners), but if you have picked up a Three SIM, their Three Go Roam should work. If "automatically connect to preferred network" is enabled in the Settings/Mobile Data/SIM of your phone, then it might try to connect to AT&T which could be problematic. I have a Canadian SIM and the dial code to disable carrier check and enable VoLTE works with Canadian carriers, but on a trip to Colorado last week I couldn't make voice calls as the trick didn't work on the AT&T network which uses a "whitelist" of approved devices for VoLTE. T-Mobile doesn't, so I changed the phone setting to "manually select network", waited for it to search, and then chose T-Mobile. I then had VoLTE back and could place voice calls. Let us know how you made out with voice calls in the US. EDIT: I just checked with someone in the UK and GiffGaff doesn't support VoLTE at all as they push all their voice calls over 3G and VoLTE is Voice Over LTE (4G). Three, Vodafone, and EE push their voice calls over 4G in the UK.

Can you share how you rooted this phone? Coming from a person who doesn't know how to at all
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Illidann:
Hi,

After months of sitting on the fence, I finally purchased the phone and taking delivery of it the next couple of days. Coming from a 1st time user of Xiaomi and foldable phone, I would like to ask a few questions if I may:

1) Unlock the bootloader - waiting period of 168 hours.

So during the waiting period, can i start using the phone normally and transferring my data over?

2) After waiting period is up, I will start installing Magisk via patching method to root the phone. What are the list of Magisk modules and what are the must-haves to install for this phone? I don't drive so Android Auto is not required.

3) When can i start running the ADB commands to uninstall the chinese apps?

4) Is it a must to disable MIUI optimizations in order to enable horizontal split? I read somewhere that there is a horizontal spilt mod?

Thank you for taking the time to read and clear my enquiries. Really appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] ThatsJustLogic:
1) Unlock the bootloader - waiting period of 168 hours.

You can use it normally. Just make sure you log into your xiaomi account and dont log out during that time or else it will reset the timer

2) After waiting period is up, I will start installing Magisk via patching method to root the phone. What are the list of Magisk modules and what are the must-haves to install for this phone?

I would recommend androplus module for the global conversion and universal safteynet fix

3) When can i start running the ADB commands to uninstall the chinese apps?

as soon as you get the phone. Just make sure you dont remove the wrong one or else you get boot looped and need to factory reset

4) Is it a must to disable MIUI optimizations in order to enable horizontal split? I read somewhere that there is a horizontal spilt mod?

I dont know of any mods to enable horizontal split so im pretty sure it is. MIUI optimisations has given me more problems than features though so im fine with having it off (other than my keyboard getting reset every time I reboot)
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Glesi2323:
As ThatsJustLogic said, be very very careful with what you erase. My first go I deleted xiaomi cloud and I kept getting an error pop up every 5 seconds.

In terms of modules, it’s really up to you and how you want the device to look and feel.

Can't be that "everything is the same" and "nothing is running"! First of all, you posted yourself that "video is running well" and only the sound is not synchrone. :D

Did you install any decoder software to your device? Did you check if maybe the video itself has an asynchronus sound?

If you pay for the service, make sure they're reputable beforehand. One way to tell is if they offer unlock codes for metropcs phones that come with unlock.apk Phones with that app do not have a code to unlock, it's done remotely through metro, so don't trust anyone saying different.
