i finally installed the right update from xyautogala
[Android Head-Units] victorsrg:
can you please share the link or how to find it?

btw I have the same unit, I configured it to fully power off every time so that it doesn't deplete my battery, and every time when I start the car it causes a loud noise in the speakers. I guess some sort of voltage peak at startup. Do you have the same?
[Android Head-Units] PorkChopExpresss:
Any way you could share the link to the file? I have been trying to find the right file for a while. I have the same HU
[Android Head-Units] victorsrg:
you can find the link here: https://we.tl/t-cc9D629R5u?utm_camp...urce=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&trk=TRN_TDL_05

I got it from the seller of my unit. It's better, now I can choose themes and things like that...but the loud pops at startup continue
[Android Head-Units] PorkChopExpresss:
Thank you!

[Android Head-Units] illusiveairforce:
How do you know which file to update with on xyauto.com? When you go to 10.0 there's a bunch of file
[Android Head-Units] spockers:
I have the same unit and for the life of me I can't get SP Flash Tool to see it at all. I've tried many drivers, which one did you use?

Update: nevermind, all I needed to do was hit the reset button with a toothpick, then flash tool saw it right away 😅
[Android Head-Units] sudipsaha:
Hi can you share the file again? Seems like its expired. Thanks

Hello,

i have a model D02022HA16 with which i have a problem.

1. I downloaded the sigyc gps navigation app via google play. the installation was successful..It takes a long time to start and when I want to enter data about a point it stops me.So I have to restart.

The second problem is that when I want to turn off bluetooth, it turns on again after 3 seconds.

thanks for your reply
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fourpsk:
I am using a Japanese Valiant S23 Ultra (SCG20).

I made full use of alliance shield, etc. to activate Diag mode and made the connection with QPST.

QPST recognized it correctly, but when I connected EFS Explorer,

I got the error in the screenshot and could not get the contents of the NV.

Are you guys able to connect EFS Explorer? If so, what version is it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
Could it be that the QPST/EFS-software does not support the 8Gen2-chipset ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fourpsk:
I have not yet succeeded in reading EFS with EFS Explorer, does anyone have a solution?

The Japanese carrier version of Galaxy has a tradition that the docomo version can read EFS and the KDDI version cannot.

I believe there must be some solution to this problem as it is the same HW and the only difference is the ROM.

As you can see in the screenshot, the ESN is displayed but the Phone is unknonw.

If you have any information at all, please let me know!

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrTrax:
Is it a ported/cooked ROM?

What's the difference between H8324 XZ2C and Docomo?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Its built from source.

There are two major changes between Global and Docomo Variant.

1.) System parition size is different in both models.

Global variant have approx 4.2 GB

Docomo have approx 3.7 GB

2.) NFC Chip and drivers are different on both models.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrTrax:
Uf... never had a chance to build a ROM like this... I'd like to try to "create" one for XZ2C since there are almost no other custom ROM there...

Although... I'm already trying to port OrangeFox recovery from akari to xz2c (first dirty mods works fine!)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] avatarwan13:
Good job sir, rom is very smooth, and no bug. This my new daily driver rom. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
I will build xz2c Global this weekend.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrTrax:
OMG Thank you very much ♥ BTW I found once an AICP ROM version 8.4 for XZ2C... Do you want that too for comparison if there are any troubles?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] avatarwan13:
So far, the only issue is netflix playback specification, DRM widevine: L3, max playback resolution is only SD. I have tried crdroid feature, spoof netflix, but no luck. Any solution for this?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
you loose DRM once you unlock the bootloader,

I don't think there is a way to get widevine L1 back on unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DasZey:
Thanks for making this. I had Docomo device and this is the only flash-able ROM at the moment.

If possible, may I request a brightness slider on statusbar? Not on quick settings. Its where you just slide anywhere on the statusbar to control the phone brightness. I miss this feature.

Also, whenever I pull down the quick settings, it feels quite jerky/lagging. Is it just me?

I only have like 5 tiles.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] avatarwan13:
My xiaomi 11T pro's bootloader is unlocked (currently using evolution-x rom) and no problem with DRM, playback resolution is full hd.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] aaawqw:
Xiaomi&Redmi is one of the only vendors that still gives you Widevine L1 even after BLU. Not gonna happen here on Xperia phones.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] YozoraS:
Thanks for your awesome work！To my surprise, the touching bug that has been bothering me for long seemed to has disappeared after burning this ROM.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] drychemical:
Excellent ROM! Thank you so much for making this, I can now finally actually Use my XZ2 Compact.

One small problem - and it might just be me, but I can't seem to get 4G connectivity, only 3G/H+. I checked the bands this device has and I should be able to get a 4G connection with the provider I use in Australia but no luck. Not a big deal right now as 3G hasn't been shutdown here (yet) but just wanted to see if anyone else who uses this ROM has the same issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Please explain the issue, I dont have any issues with the microphone.

Does 4g works for you on stock rom?

Also did you try to set 4g/LTE manually in the settings?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] drychemical:
Yeah I did try manually adding an APN (if that's what you were meaning) but yeah no luck.

I'll see if the SIM works on the stock ROM when I have more time.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] EdgarWollust:
Hi,

I thaught this issue is well known, but maybe im missinformed.

I already got the Phone opened an put a New bottommicrophone in, but still its not working while be in a call. (like discribed here https://xdaforums.com/t/microphone-and-speaker-problems.4100053/)

Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much... are there instructions to flash? is this for docomo version?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Nguyễn Thế Vinh:
Is your phone bootloader unlocked yet ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] santi_pers:
no, unfortunately the bootloader is locked. and I think that the sony website is no longer available, to open the bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Nguyễn Thế Vinh:
The official unlocking page is moved from this:

https://developer.sony.com/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/

To this:

Unlock bootloader | Developer World

developer.sony.com

Beside, unlike the global version, docomo version bootloader is hard locked so you need to pay for third party unlocking service so they can "hack open" your bootloader, unfortunately due to XDA rule i am not allowed to discuss this in detail, you must google yourself to find more infomation on how to do this
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DasZey:
Hi, after the update 9.6 ALPHA the crDroid settings is missing from Setting.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Apologies, that was an alpha build for testing .

I have taken down the ota update, will update the Final build soon.

For the time being, you can flash back the 9.5 either from Updater > Local update or via recovery.

Note : If flashed via recovery , you need to flash gapps and magisk again.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DasZey:
I see. When can I expect the final build? I guess its no problem if I use this alpha build for awhile while waiting for final build?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Still waiting for the Crdroid team to complete the June security patch merged in the source , its still work in progress.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DasZey:
I tried to downgrade but got corrupted. Had to format and fresh flash. Feelsbadman lol
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Oops, did you try local update?

or via recovery
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DasZey:
I did via recovery. It won't boot pass the crDroid logo screen and straight went back to recovery lol.

Its okay. I already finish setup my device haha..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
ROM Updated to June Security Patch.

Change Log : https://crdroid.net/blog/2023-06-29-crDroid-9.6-released

Refer to 1st post for first time installation.

If you are already on 9.4 or 9.5 version, you can update it via OTA.

Global Version will be released this weekend.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] farfromrefuge:
Is it possible to install that rom over lineageos 20 without losing app/data?

Thinking the answer is no but worth asking ;)

thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Considering your battery issues, I would recommend a clean flash.

even after clean flash if you are having battery issue, maybe its hardware?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
Alright, Global version is up.

You can grab it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/sony-xperia-tama/files/XZ2-Compact(Global)/
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] farfromrefuge:
Thanks you might be right. I will backup and try to install your rom clean to see if i still see the issue. I dont think it is hardware. I feel like there is a reproducible way of triggering the battery issue. Thinking something to do with charging (maybe even charging from my computer).

BTW on another note do you know if crdroid has a way fo disabling rotation detection when auto rotation is off? Even with auto-rotation off, on android 13, you get a rotation notification in the navigation bar which means gyro/accelero sensors are on. Would like to disable this.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Shujath:
There is an option in crdroid to block sensors for specific app.

You can test it out.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrTrax:
Hmm... maybe you can block the sensor for the whole Android OS aka System-UI but I know what you're trying to tell...

The sensor stay activated and therefore draw a specific amount of current...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] hsibai:
Hello,

I have a couple of questions about this ROM.

1- I plan to use my H8324 (currently running original stock Android10) mostly as a 4G router to provide bluetooth tethering for my other device. Are there any benefits for flashing this ROM given my use case?

2- Is it possible to revert back to SONY stock android or is this upgrade not reversible?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrTrax:
Hey there :)

1. Yes you can, every modern phone is capable of Wifi tethering, USB tethering and bluetooth tethering :)

In fact, that what my Blackberry Q10 is being used for ^^

2. Also you can, you can grab the stock firmware from, I think, Newflasher & XperiFirm and just flash it over ^^

Even $ony wont notice that you modded your phone ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] farfromrefuge:
Is there any tutorial on how to flah back stock ROM ? Not the same process as flashing crdroid or Los ?

got it all working
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] farfromrefuge:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] hendrikmerkel:
I have tried to install (adb sideload) the 9.6 on a unlocked NTT Docomo XZ2c with single SIM. I'm so happy that I found a ROMwhich supports my DOCOMO XZ2c. I use lineage Recovery 20.0, 20230728.

But it failed with 47% transfer status:

Error: recovery: failed to verify whole-file signature (...) (result 1)

Error: Recovery: signature verification failed

Error: recovery: Error: 21

When I confirm to install it anyway, it gives:

Error: recovery: current SPL: 2023-07-05 Target SPL: 2023-06-05 this is considered a downgrade

Error: receovery: Denying OTA because it's SPL downgrade

Installation complete with status 1

Installation aborted.

How can I solve this? - Thank you so much!

----

Edit I change the boot receovery to this linked boot.img.

I rebooted into recovery again.

I started the upload again via adb sideload.

Than I got the message, that the file, I downloaded was for xz2c, but it was expected xz2c_dcm . So I search a while and found a specific dcm-version, which is currently downloaded for test.

Hopefully this can solve the problem.

-----

Edit 2:

Now it worked - the CRDROID ist installed and booted on DOCOMO SO-05K. I feel overwehelmed and thank you so much!

Thank you!
