thats the only mention of the ta file? it seemingly wont flash the boot sin without the ta

thanks :)
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] ragu24:
ahhhhh I see what you mean. Yeaj, sure! Give it a go. Seems like the next logical step since obviously if it refers to that file it won't find it. Good catch.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
same thing, still not booting :/

im completely lost at this point :(

I have no clue anymore but I'm gonna use my trump card and get back at ya; dont give up hope.

It can still be recognized so that just means we aren't doing something right :)

yeah its super annoying

thanks again for your help, i guess next chance is try to return it to the seller, although i dont think they will take it haha
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] incodnita:
Hello everyone.

Sorry if I say something stupid, the last time y rooted a Xperia was three o four years ago, maybe. But I just want to help.

Have you tried 'Xperia Companion' to repair your phone? It's the official program from Sony:

https://www.sony.com.au/electronics...ets-tablets/xperia-tablet-z/articles/00236877

If it hasn't change to much you have to see a place that says something like 'repair your phone'. You only have to follow the instructions.

But, if it doesn't help, why to use 'newflasher' instead of 'Flashtool'? You could try with it. I think that the automatizations which Flashtool has are better and easier to use when you try to repair a Xperia.

I hope you have luck repairing your phone.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] DanielMode:
this software isn't working with new Xperia generation anymore.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] ragu24:
Which software? Flashtool?

Xperia Companion and Newflasher are both still functional so I presume that's the one you mean
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] incodnita:
Oh, sorry, I didn't know it. As I said, I haven't used it since three or four years ago. I saw in the official website the last update (0.9.36.0) "Support for 2022 Xperia devices" and I assumed it would work well.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Miustone:
EMMA 👍 (Check the actual Guide from My Signature)
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
Hi,

I believe this device is not supported by EMMA, as when running and plugging device in it just says "

No available services matched the connected device."

Still not sure what to do :/

Thanks
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
strange because on sony website:

Supported devices and functionality - Open Devices - Sony Developer World

developer.sony.com

the 5iv isnt listed here, but in the latest blog posts it says here:

Xperia 1 IV and 5 IV are now added to Sony's Open Devices program | Developer World

developer.sony.com

5iv added to open devices program?

and if you click on maintained devices it shows the 5iv:

Supported devices – maintained - Open Devices - Sony Developer World

developer.sony.com

:/
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] incodnita:
For me it works well. Well, I don't have the device unlocked so give me an error, but it detects my model, IMEI, version, etc.

With the Xperia power off and pressing volume down, just connecting it to the PC, green light on the notification LED, and it works at the moment.

Maybe are you having drivers issue or the cable you're using is failing?
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
strange, because mine looks exactly the same but with this error:

if possible, could someone with an unlocked bootloader pls send a screenshot of what they get? Thanks :)

[Sony Xperia 5 IV] xire68:
Download Xperia Companion and use the software repair option. Turn off your phone and DO NOT plug it in until it prompts you to put it in flash mode.

I had same boot loop issue after flashing firmware using newflasher.

It was solved by typing the following command:

newflasher set_active:a

Connect your phone to the PC in flash mode first, of course.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
Thanks for your comment, I would try but I shipped the phone back to the seller for them to attempt to repair it. They probably won't be able to though 😂. Guess il try when it arrives back
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] s1dest3pnate:
Any update? I'd love to hear if the solution from post #39 works.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
Hi, sorry for the boring ending but the seller just took the phone and refunded me so I guess we will never know 😂
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Didgesteve:
That's a pretty sh*tty thing to do though. break a phone and then ask for a refund.

People like you are the reason that phone providers only sell phones that can't be unlocked.

Break the phone through not knowing what you are doing, then want someone else to fix it.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Leho:
Mate I told the seller exactly what happened, sent photos and all that I could, they offered for me to ship it back and they try to fix it, then they just said I could have a refund instead. I don't see how that's a ****ty thing to do, I was very transparent about what happened with the phone.

--------------------------

拔出usb线，重新启动： 在开机界面循环： 手机提示不能启动

我根据 这'xda'上的贴：

--------------------------------

使用 newflasher 刷新固件后，我遇到了相同的启动循环问题。

通过键入以下命令解决了这个问题：

新闪光机 set_active：A

当然，首先以闪存模式将手机连接到PC。

--------------------------------

执行了> newflasher set_active：a

执行这之后:

手机现在: 黑屏,不能启动(变砖了)

现在电脑usb连接手机，无论是按（'音量+'或'音量-'）插USB线 或 '不按键直接插插USB线'，

手机小led指示灯（在手机屏右上角）：都不亮 ，但pc电脑（sys： Windows）的'设备管理'中始终都是显示'somc fiash drevice'设备（刷机模式）

pc电脑上用'newflasher' 或 'fashbol' 或 'sony Emma' 都是不能连接手机

我尝试了： 长按：（power+'音量-'） 或 （power+'音量+' 强制关机）： 情况还是和上面一样

希望大家能帮助我!先谢谢了

我现正在使用的手机是 sony xperia1 iv （XQ-CT72 中国国行），用和上面完全相同的方法和过程， 刷完后都是正常启动 ok ，没有任何问题

My mobile phone sony xperia 5 iv (XQ-CQ72 China National Bank), has been unlocked successfully

I use the 'newflash-v55.exe' tool software to flash: XQ-CQ72_Customized HK_64.1.A.0.882 (the original fw is: CN_64...)

Last after data brushing: prompt

--------------------------

Set slot 'b' active.

Device is put now out of flash mode.

Closing device.

Please press any key to continue. . .

--------------------------

Unplug the usb cable, restart: cycle in the boot interface: the phone prompts that it cannot start

According to this post on 'xda':

--------------------------------

I had the same boot loop issue after flashing the firmware with newflasher.

Solved the problem by typing:

newflasher set_active:a

Of course, first connect the phone to the PC in flash mode.

--------------------------------

Executed >newflasher set_active:a

After executing this:

Phone now: black screen, can't start (bricked)

Now connect the computer usb to the mobile phone, whether you press ('volume +' or 'volume -') to insert the usb cable or 'insert the usb cable directly without pressing the button',

The small LED indicator of the mobile phone (in the upper right corner of the mobile phone screen): it is not on, but the 'device management' of the pc computer (sys: windows) always displays the 'somc fiash device' device (flashing mode)

Using 'newflasher' or 'fashbol' or 'sony Emma' on the pc cannot connect to the mobile phone

I tried: long press: (power+'volume-') or (power+'volume+' force shutdown): the situation is still the same as above

I hope you can help me! Thank you in advance

The Fix:

Use xperia companion to fix your device:

Unlocked Bootloader:

If you unlocked your bootloader, lock it first. Xperia companion did not work on mine because of unlocked bootloader.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...g-with-magisk-and-flashing-firmwares.4552365/

Undetected device:

If you have issues with adb or fastboot not detecting your device (i.e. if you see the message below) install Sony drivers.

Check Windows device manager and find your device under "Other Devices". there should be one device named "Android".

I installed Sony drivers at this stage.

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] tumtumpak:
First of all I have to say I'm a newbie to all this android world.

Yesterday i finally decided to root and unlock mi redmi after some years of use, at the first try installing the PE 13+ ROM i've got stucked into the google logo and the phone didn't pass from there. After reading several forums, I came to the conclussion that it could be caused due to the version of twrp not beign the latest one, so i installed the newest one, wiped and re flashed the PE 13+.

Then came the second problem, the ROM started well and worked but the phone could not detect the SIM card nor the wifi, so i flashed the ginkgo ROM with the official mi flash tool to restart the process from the beginning. After wiping and installing again the PE+ the wifi and SIM card problem solved, but now twrp gives the Error: Unable to mount /data, wich as I read seems to be very common.

Tried a bunch of different things i've read in this and other forums (restoring data with twrp, erasing userdata with fastboot, mounting data, etc.) And nothing.

Until i found out formating data, and then (in advanced wipe) wiping Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache did fix it.

Need to mention that i only could do the advance wipe after the format data otherwise it would give error.

Now I've installed again the PE 13+ set up the phone and came back again to the recovery to find out the twrp error: Unable to mount /data and the Internal storage showing 0MB respawned.

I'm kinda desperate right now, been tryng to solve it for a lot of hours but i can't. I don't know if it's just a thing of the Recovery/ROM that needs to get uptated to pass the android/google secrity mesures or if I just screwed up at some point. Also, as a newbie, i might have skipped important details in the explanation without realising, don't bother asking for them if needed.

Thanks in advice!

[Android TV General] TechnikWuk:
Hello, I am new here. I'm from Germany and translate with deepl, because my English is not so good.

I have a Xiaomi TV Stick with Android TV 9.

With me, the Xiaomi TV Stick says that the last security update is from 5.11.2021.

In addition, I have an Android TV 9 Smart TV. Here, the same date is specified.

Can it be that it was the last security update, where can I see when the last update was provided directly by Android?
[Android TV General] suse_:
last week I purchased my first Android TV, a Smart Tech with Android 9, it asked for update after connected to the net, and the update is from 2021 - so that's it 😏

greets..
[Android TV General] TechnikWuk:
OK, thanks. It will certainly be the last update.

In Germany, the seller actually has to ensure that you get long updates. As long as I have the 2-year warranty, I will nag the seller until he asks the manufacturer to finally install Android TV 12. Only if the buyers resist, something will change. ✌️
[Android TV General] TechnikWuk:
From what I've seen now, Smart TVs are very poorly supplied with security updates. In the EU, all devices sold after 2022 are to receive long updates. Germany has also passed a law on this. Here, the seller is definitely held accountable and not the manufacturer. But I would also like to know how the seller wants to do this if the manufacturers are not interested. The law is actually good. Something has to happen.

View attachment 5841147

First, I am sorry for the awkward English. I am not good at English, and I am currently writing through a translator.

I am currently experiencing a strange issue with my device, a Legion Y700. After unlocking the bootloader, the Widevine's system ID has been changed in an weird form (Please refer to the picture I uploaded.).

I am not sure if this is the cause, but systems that require Widevine, such as Netflix, are not functioning properly. (For example, Netflix gets stuck at the initial logo screen and does not progress.)

As far as I know, unlocking the bootloader only changes Widevine to L3, and this kind of issue has not been reported before.

I have tried to search for similar cases on XDA, but I could not find any.

However, I found that some users of unlocked Y700 devices are experiencing the same issue through Korean community forums. Unfortunately, they have not found any meaningful solutions to this problem.

I tried to solve the problem by using the magisk denylist, universal safetynet fix module, change device model name, and factory reset.

but the same thing still happened when I ran netflix.

The only solution seems to be to re-lock the bootloader, but this requires using ZUI14, which has an issue where the security app kills background apps, so I am not eager to use this method.

When I checked it with 'root check' or 'yasnac', there seemed to be no problem. In my opinion, the issue is caused by the weird change in the Widevine system ID, and there does not seem to be any other solution since there is no direct way to modify the system ID. However, if there are any other solutions available, I would greatly appreciate any help.
