[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Alkéryn:
as info, i was able to pass safetynet with shamiko and play integrity fix.

so paying with the phone works.

also, hidenavbar is a cool module as it allows you to hide the nav bar, combined with vivid ng the phone is nicer to use imo.

i also used button mapper for volume button remap (with shizuku only)

and key mapper for the focus/camera button remap (with root) (button maper didn't work for that button when the screen was off).

i generally don't like to give root to non foss apps.

one thing i miss from my s9 though was substratum / swift installer, there is no equivalent that'll make everything oled dark, although colorblendr is better than nothing.

Edit: i removed shamiko and use zygisk assistant instead, i just learnt shamiko is closed source and won't be using it again.

even without zygisk assistant it worked anyway.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
Here is how I updated the phone:

1. Download Newflasher and the latest ROM via xperifirm

2. Extract the firmware and Newflasher.

3. Copy Newflasher files into the same folder where you extracted the ROM

4. In the ROM folder I deleted the file "persist_X-FLASH-ALL-88DF.sin". Not sure if it is needed, but I wanted to make sure the persist partition is not being flashed.

5. press and hold (power+ vol down) while plugging the usb cable. You should be seeing a green asterisk.

6. From within the ROM folder open a terminal window and type

newflasher set_active:a

and then just

newflasher

7. Follow the steps and when you are being asked to pull a dump select no, cause it doesn't work.

8. To re-gain root: Patch the init_boot.img with magisk and boot the phone into fastboot

9. Flash the image typing:

fastboot flash init_boot magisk_patched.img
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] kkjb:
Thank you for the guide. For others a reminder that previous Xperias have the same operations to gain root, flashing, general instructions. So check previous model Xperia threads. Lots of existing information and guides too. Just remember that we have no North America model to grab builds from.

Thank you!

Model: XQ-EC72-TW

Can anyone help why I'm getting "Value too large for defined data type" when flashing "magisk_patched.img"?

Got the screenshot from someone else but hope you still get the idea.

I'm in fastbootd

in fastboot it gives me "flashing is not allowed for partition" error

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
Probably you are using deprecated platform tools

[Sony Xperia 1 VI] NiGHTsC:
I tried version 31, 33, 34, all gave same results, even with this simple adb/fastboot tool :(

[Tool] Latest ADB Fastboot and USB Driver installer tool for Windows
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
your file is way too large... seems you took the boot.img instead of init_boot.img. init_boot.img is only 8192kb
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] NiGHTsC:
The original boot_X-FLASH-ALL-88DF.sin is 96mb as well, I tried using both unsin and Sony Dump Tool and they gave me the same file
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
yes... and thats the wrong file my friend. take this one:

init_boot_X-FLASH-ALL-88DF.sin

not

boot_X-FLASH-ALL-88DF.sin
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] NiGHTsC:
Oh boy...

Thank you so much! finally got it done!
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Puff:
May I ask how you managed to run the app in the first place? I have downloaded v57 (latest one, apparently) and it states: "No usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xb00b !"

Which makes sense, as vid/pid for 1 VI is actually 0FCE:0DDE and app from 2023 couldn't have known what will be those for a phone released in 2024. Unless there's a way to get around that, but I couldn't find any info about it.

I was able to flash the modified boot image to get root, but I did that with standard adb commands. I could, theoretically, type a ton of adb commands to flash everything (except few partitions mentioned somewhere on the forum) so it wouldn't erase my data, but this is basically a last resort, as I'd have to have a mapping (where certain file gets flashed to) and I assume the app does it automatically.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] husam666:
Hi everyone, I am considering upgrading to this phone now that my current phone is reaching end of support.

My question is, does unlocking the bootloader have any effect on the performance of the camera/video/display or anything else?

My last Sony phone was the Xperia Z5 and unlocking the bootloader on devices from that era would delete a partition that contained keys and that would disable some features on the phone.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] kkjb:
I have not yet unlocked mine. I hope thread author doesn't mind if I answer, my last 1V was unlocked and here's what I found. Camera same, apps that look for unlock and or Root status will fail. Kinda like a Pixel in that what was... is still same. The fact you can unlock and lock still valid and no repercussions from choices.

Now though a thought--> I had two 1V's one was TW other was HK model. When you want to return to locked status you need to make sure the build you are on at bootloader lock command is the correct one. TW was just fine, when I had a TW build on a HK model I needed to reflash the HK build back to get unlock command to work.

Very nice to know that anything you read on Previous Xperia XDA threads that work for mods will on the 1VI too.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
I used v57 as well and had no issues. But doing this on a windows PC I always need to manually select the fastboot driver from the device manager to make it work. Otherwise there is still the yellow exclamation mark in the device manager and it wouldn't work of course.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Alkéryn:
not in my experience, you do need to hide root to use google pay and other banking apps but the phone itself behaves normally for me.

you do lose ota updates, but you can still install them manually.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Puff:
I have fastboot driver already present, otherwise I would not be able to flash the modified boot image to get root, so that's not it. If you do use 1 VI, then what's the exact model? I have XQ-EC54, maybe you have a different flavor? It would explain then, why you have different VID/PID.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Guido83:
then you are in the wrong mode. try switching the phone off, then press and hold the vol down button while pluggin the usb to your PC. You should be seeing a GREEN (not blue) asterisk. This is the correct mode and the tool should work. I just did it again with the latest update. I've got the same phone XQ-EC54
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] Puff:
Dang, that's the magic trick I needed to know. Works like a charm now. Thank you very much! :)

How do I tell if I have the Taiwan, Hong Kong or Southeast Asia phone? Want to make sure I update with the correct firmware since there are 3 choices in XperiaFirm.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] guhvanoh:
Get the model of your fone from settings menu. Search for model on XperiCheck.com and match that to the firmware on XperiaFirm.
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] EMSpilot:
XperiCheck.com does not recognize the XQ-EC72. XperiFirm shows 3 different countries for my model. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Found out today mine has Taiwan firmware.

[OnePlus 12] stockman45:
I own a OP12, so posting question here.

Is it possible through custom app/hidden settings/root etc., to obtain full control of Bluetooth radio power? (TX power)

Coming from S20 Ultra to OP12, I've noticed that Bluetooth performance was noticeably better on my old S20 Ultra. My OP12 Bluetooth transmission quality for wireless music seems to vary greatly depending on the "state" of the phone. (Screen on/off, music app in foreground, etc). Is it possible the phone is "battery optimizing" the Bluetooth radio at certain times? I'd basically like to be able to lock the BT radio in full power at all times. TY!

[Introductions] DW7GDL:
Hi everyone.

I'm Jay, a retired IT guy currently living in Cebu, central Philippines. I got my amateur (ham) radio license last August and have been having a blast playing experimenting with different radio-related things. Lately it's been APRS (Automated Packet reporting System.) I recently got a cheap Android tablet that was supposed to be a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pr011 with Android 10.1 and 5G/LTE support but it's really a no-name Chinese tablet with no SIM tray or slots and Android 7. Still, it's a pretty nice tablet. I got it to run an app called APRSDroid that lets me send and receive SMS text messages over ham radio frequencies, and got the tablet so I'd have bigger keys on its keyboard because I have some vision issues. I joined so I could ask if there's any way I can upgrade this thing to Android 10 because I remembered from years ago when I was flashing a phone I had with a custom ROM that this is the best site and forum, and I figured somebody here would know and could point me in the right direction.

Mabuhay!
[Introductions] SigmundDroid:
Kumusta!

Nice, a tinkerer :)

Not sure how many people read the intros to help out, perhaps General Development might a better place to ask (and with some specs of yours):

General Development

xdaforums.com

Welcome to XDA!

PS: Don't get me wrong but the search here is somewhat not satisfying - you might want use google and limit your search with "site:xdaforums.com". At least that's my approach to specific topics like yours.
[Introductions] DW7GDL:
Thanks, SigmundDroid. I bookmarked general development for future use.

Progress has actually been made. The seller on the online shopping venue where I bought the tablet, Lazada Philippines (kind of a SE Asian version of Amazon) finally responded in chat and sent me a video showing where the SIM card slots are hidden. It takes full-size SIMs not mini or micro SIMs so I had to pop over to the neighborhood sari-sari store to get new ones (I got two, Globe Telecomm and Smart Communications, both 5G.) But thanks to a rule passed by the National Telecommunications Commission a few years ago I need to register both SIMS online before they'll work. They're also prepaid so I'll have to buy some load for them, although both cards come with like 3 days worth of free data, calls and texts. But maybe after the SIMs are registered and activated I can get OTA updates? I hope so.

Yes, I'm a tinkerer: I'm a ham radio operator so of course I am. :) Even before that used several software defined radio receivers (SDRs) to receive things like ADS-B location info from aircraft and plot their position and altitude on a map in real time like a virtual radar system, and also the HF (shortwave radio) equivalent, HFDL, but I eventually got bored with just receiving and watching aircraft flying around so I started studying for my ham ticket. In fact, Saturday morning is the next exam and I'm going to see if I can upgrade my license to the next higher class. Wish me luck!
[Introductions] SigmundDroid:
Ohmy! Lots of learning? Good luck 🍀

Wait, what? You mean those old credit card size thingies? Or just the minis (which are huge as well by today's standards)?
[Introductions] DW7GDL:
Full-size. SIM cards here are full size but have mini and micro SIM punch outs. You have to be careful not to accidentally punch out the micro SIM when you're trying to remove the big one.

Anyway, I have an Android tablet that can get both 5G and wifi connectivity, with Bluetooth pairing with my APRS radio so the APRSDroid app can access the radio's internal packet data terminal node controller and let me send and receive messages and various types of beacons. I'm resigned to being stuck with outdated Android 7 with no more security updates and to having poor battery life per charge (4 to 8 hours depending on what's enabled or running) in exchange for having a bigger screen and touch keyboard to make message text entry easier, which was the only reason I bought the tablet in the first place. It's not a great tablet but it will do. It only cost around $43 (₱2,500ish) and I suppose you get what you pay for.
[Android Head-Units] wierzbi:
Could someone help me choose an update for the radio as in the picture? The seller sent me the wrong file and now the radio is in a vertical position and practically nothing works on it. Thank you in advance.

You need to get in contact with the seller again and show them the result of their "update".

hello = since changing my phone (from android 11 to android 14), I can no longer pair my phone with my Chinese car radio: the latter has version 5.3.36 of zlink and I tried to install different versions on my smartphone including the latest 5.4.40 but it is impossible to connect it via usb to the car radio.

only version 1.1.27 that I scan from the qr code of the car radio works but only halfway: I can only use the wireless connection but not the usb (only the screen projection function works)

I have this error message when I want to pair it via usb

[ASUS ZenFone 8] hashsadhsahdihds:
Hi all,

Recently replaced the screen on my Zenfone 8, however the fingerprint sensor no longer works. Part of the screen which is used for reading fingerprints lights up like normal but it's unable to register a new fingerprint. Testing the fingerprint sensor in calculator .12345+ says its okay. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I was reading a similar post for fingerprint fix for Asus ROG 3/5 which suggested installing an APK package to re-calibrate the sensor, but not sure if this would also work for zenfone 8?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
I have the same issue after replacing the screen. I bought screen + chassis.

The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the chassis. The connector is attached but the fingerprint is not responding at all. It shows no problem in the hardware test for me either.

I emailed the seller on Aliexpress, have you found out any waything in the meantime?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
Actually I found something.

APK File:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ZS590KS_FingerPrintCalibrationAssistantTool.apk?model=ZenFone%208%20(ZS590KS)

Instructions:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ZS590KS_FingerPrint_Calibration_SOP_V1.0.pdf?model=ZenFone%208%20(ZS590KS)

Does anyone have the required tools to test if this works?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] hashsadhsahdihds:
I have screen + chassis from Aliexpress as well. Unfortunately haven't found a fix yet, using Face recognition as a replacement for fingerprint unlock. It works quite well as a workaround expect for apps which require fingerprint unlock.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
Hello again. I was able to "fix" my sensor by doing calibration. I did not have the fleshy cubes like in the instructions, I used white and black paper as instructed on many YouTube videos. After something like 200 tries it accepted the calibration and my sensor resumed working. Of course it doesn't work too well because I calibrated with pieces of paper and my finger instead of the proper calibration tool. So, I bought the correct calibrator from Ali, it's called Relife RL071, the cubes look identical as the ones used in the asus pdf, and it costs around 10€.

So, if you want to try it without the tool, install that apk and attempt calibration. Use white paper for the first one, black paper for the second one, and thumb (press hard) for the third one. I had to try over 100 times until it accepted calibration. As soon as I get the correct calibration tool from Ali I will try again. I think that if you don't use the intended tool, after enough tries it will somehow get a passing range and it will work again but not very well. Hopefully with the tool it will work better once properly calibrated.

Btw my screen is from Ali but it is original, it's identical to my broken screen, amoled and all. Same colors and refresh rate.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] hashsadhsahdihds:
Thank you! I'll give this a go
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
So? Did it work?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
I managed to get my FP sensor working 100%, as good as new. I used the calibrator but the last step always gave me an error that said "1524 screen related params error". I fixed it by cutting the last cube (the one with the grooves) so that it was EXACTLY the same size as the red square on the phone. Then after a couple more tries it calibrated correctly.

I am not sure if I used the other cubes as well or white & black paper + cut fingerprint cube.

So yeah, now my FP sensor works as new even with the glass screen protector installed.

TL;DR

1. Download the APK I liked above

2. Click start, place the white paper (or the flesh colored cube) on the sensor, click next

3. Same as before, but with black non transparent paper (or the black cube), click next

4. Cut the fingerprint cube so that it matches EXACTLY the red square on the screen

5. Push (not too hard) on the small cube in the red square and do not move the cube at all, be as still as a corpse while pushing the cube lightly, and press next

6. It will most likely calibrate correctly.

Errors that I've seen:

POLAR DEGREE ERROR = not enough pressure, you need to apply some pressure to the fingerprint cube

SCREEN RELATED PARAMS ERROR = cube is too big or not the right size. You need to cut it so that it's EXACTLY the same size as the red square.

ALSO, the fingerprint cube grooves need to be PARALLEL to the screen. If you do it wrong, you'll get an error and one of the values will be 90 degrees off, and shown in red. The grooves on the cube need to be EXACTLY parallel to the screen. I don't remember the exact error message, sorry, but it's easy to spot because it will be 90 degrees off in the log.

Without using the fingerprint cube, or grooved cube, of "FLESH CHART" as the apk calls it, will result in you having to try hundreds of times, and even then if you somehow manage to pass the calibration with your finger, it will work like crap. I don't know what's the exact calibration tool needed but the one I used worked after I cut it to the right size.

Good luck to anyone attempting this.
