[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] StockRecovery:
A few years ago i converted my Xperia XZ3 Japanese to Global successfully. But it seems like converting Xperia 5 II is a bit more complicated.

Can someone guide me regarding this? My preference would be to convert to global ROM if it's without issues, but if not, then I don't mind converting to KDDI or Docomo ROM if it gets me to Android 12.

I hope some nice person (with the relevant knowledge) would help me out instead of ignoring & moving on.

I ended up selling the phone. This phone is famous for getting the green line issue, so i got rid of it before i encountered that. lol

Here's the translation of your text into English:

"Just so you know, I recently managed to mix-flash my SoftBank edition to the AU edition, which is somewhat complicated but not terribly difficult. The latest version on the SoftBank edition is Android 11, whereas the AU edition runs the latest Android 12. First, flash the four radio basebands from the AU Android 12 version onto your phone. After turning it on, there might be no signal, but that's okay. Restart and enter the flashing mode again to flash the remaining firmware, making sure to uncheck the four baseband files this time. Once you reboot, the mix-flashing will be successful with no bugs, and you'll have support for more frequency bands. Personally, I find Android 12 much better to use; for instance, Video Master can now utilize updated versions. By the way, once you upgrade to Android 12, there's no going back to the SoftBank edition running Android 11, so make sure you think it through before proceeding."

Please note that "mix-flashing" or "mixing" firmware versions from different carriers or regions can void warranties and potentially brick devices if not done correctly. It's always advisable to proceed with caution and follow detailed guides from reliable sources.

For context, here is where I started, the device is a clone and runs on a Spreadtrum processor. On my first attempt to flash, it gave an error:

I used this image which is about 1.6Gb, as a workaround to the error, I spliced the image with flash -S 256M which sent the image in 7 chunks. After it was completed, I rebooted the device and waited for about an hour before concluding that something wasn't going well, after I ran an adb logcat to view the logs and found out that some of the processes were failing, here is a snippet:

On the screen while still on phone brand logo, it displays:

After waiting enough, I rebooted the device to fastboot and run fastboot -w because I thought caches from previous build was messing up this installation, then I rebooted the device.

The same Google stayed on my screen for even longer, but this time round I no longer have access to the device via adb nor recovery screen when I reboot.

When I hold the buttons combination to go to recovery, I first get the normal 'No command' screen, but when I proceed, instead of opening the recovery screen, it either shuts down or proceeds to boot.

When I connect to a Mac, I see 'Spreadtrum phone' on the system info under USB and when I connect to a Windows PC, It shows up under the notification tray for 5 seconds before it disappears as if ejected(this is when it is displaying 'Google').

When it is is no command and I press volume up + power for about 10 seconds, then connect to a Windows computer, I see this in the device manager under Ports(COM & LPT):

With this, I could use an SPD tool but I don't know where I will get the .pac file because this is a clone and doesn't have any matching device model, I have a very light image (system-arm-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img) which is about 860Mb which I am planning to push in should anything go well from here.

My main problem is how to get out of here and either access the recovery screen or fastboot.

Hello everyone,

is it possible to install the 3 package of camera software from earlier versions on the X1 VI in parallel?

Second question: which alternative camera app (excepting Open Camera) is recommended in the field of professional photography ?

Any tips or hints to extend the long exposure time?

Thanks in advance...
[Sony Xperia 1 VI] kkjb:
According to Sony the current Single camera app will be updated on the Autumn update cycle. Hopfully better than now. I have after much searching on XDA, tg, SourceForge, g search these ones that work for me. The Sony Video Pro was modified to work on older Xperias. That is why it actually works on our device too. With the new 48MB mode less GCam sources work, still nothing harmful from installing give permissions and try. If it opens or closes, play with cam app setting and change the camera lens ID to Pixel XL. that works on some of the GCams too.

Anyone know how to reset that pop up to default so can ask again and allow everything since that seems necessary for attachments to load.

Hello. Today when my phone shut off at 1 percent, I checked the SD card and this happened.

I formatted it and now it's not mounting. Pressing on the DankCard brings up a Forget prompt. I can't mount it, and now the SD card only shows up as Samsung SD card and I want my data back. Any help?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Big Calhoun:
I picked up a set of the Sony DR-BT50 headphones today. These particular headphones support the Hands Free and Wireless Stereo profile.

Paired them up, and everything went great. Aside: Good sound and range. The lows could be a little cleaner, but overall, acceptable. I digress.

After the initial pairing, both the Hands Free and Wireless Stereo profiles were activated. After powering them off and powering them back on later in the evening, only the Hands Free profile was activated. I tried selecting only the Wireless Stereo profile (unchecking Hands Free) AND repairing and only selecting the Wireless Stereo profile, same issue. To get around it, I have to go into the BT menu, hold on the headphones, and 'Set as Wireless Stereo'.

Is anyone, who is using BT headphones that also support a secondary profile, experiencing the same issue? I wonder if it's because of the two profiles being available.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Im_Gumby:
I have a pair of Jabra BT headphones that have both a hands free and a stereo option. They aren't both activated at the same time. It depends on the application or a switch on the headphones (mine is manual, yours appears to be automatic based on the user manual).

I have a pair of MOTOROKR S9 and have no issues with pairing. I see both modes when it is paired with the VZW TP. There is no problem when they see each other either.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
My Plantronics Voyager 855 has both modes "checked" also
[Touch Pro CDMA] Big Calhoun:
It has to be the headphones then because the switch isn't occuring. I tried quickly pressing the power button on the headphones as well as playing some music through WMP and CorePlayer...nadda. Oh well. Minor inconvenience.

[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Hello. I have a major issue right now, The internal storage reads as 0 B free in Files by Google or ZArchiver but in Settings, it still has some space left, but I can't download files or take screenshots. The SD card does work and formatted to add extra storage and still has a total of 7 GB free, but the internal storage is (censored), causing my worlds in Minecraft to disappear, and screwing up some stuff. Also, in ZArchiver and Root Browser, when trying to access the storage, it says Access is denied or Error listing directory. I kept restarting but nothing changed. At this point, issues went from terrible Minecraft issues to this. Any fix? I don't want to lose any more data. Also in /, the /sdcard folder doesn't show up, nor /emulated/0 in /storage. Only the /self folder in /storage shows up, so stuff is screwed.
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
Root your phone and create a folder named 0 under /storage/emulated using any root browser. Then type su -c chmod 0755 /storage/emulated/0 from a terminal app like termux and reboot. I experienced the exact same thing on one of my phones.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I only have /self in /storage, and Termux isn't supported on PE. Can I try the command on a computer instead?
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
Yeah you can do that from adb shell too.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Will I lose my data though?
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
obviously not, because you literally don't HAVE any data. you lost as much data as you could because your internal storage is gone.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
The command keeps saying "No such file or directory".
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
Did you create the folder named "0" as I said?
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I did, but this kept happening:

chmod: No such file or directory

Let other expert members to help if you discontinue.
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
type in adb shell:

su
cd /storage/emulated
mkdir 0

And post what output it gives.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
It only shows sdcard0, and it isn't navigatable, The emulated folder I created does not show.

wow this is fun as (censored)
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I did it by using mkdir and chroot. Hope it's fixed on reboot!
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
wow it is still broken.

[General Questions and Answers] aiden.throttl:
I know you don't want to lose "data" but what would happen if you wanted to factory reset?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1.

When you adopt external storage (such as an SD card) to act like internal storage, it’s typically mounted at /Android/data

2.

While /storage exists, directly accessing its contents through file manager apps might be restricted on newer Android versions (typically 10 and later) due to Scoped Storage. Scoped Storage limits app access to specific folders for security reasons.

3.

The /storage/self folder on Android devices is a bit of a mystery. While its exact purpose isn't entirely clear, it's well known that most file manager apps won't show the contents of the /self folder directly. This is likely due to permission restrictions.

4.

The Access Denied Error in ZArchiver and Root Browser might indicate a permission issue. Try using the built-in file manager or a different file manager app updated for recent Android versions.

5.

Files by Google and ZArchiver might not be showing hidden system files that are taking up space.

Check if your file manager has an option to show hidden files. This might reveal what's occupying the space.

FYI:

On Android devices, both /sdcard and /storage/emulated/0 refer to the same location: your device's internal storage - typically /data/media/0. You can use either one, but /storage/emulated/0 is the more accurate and future-proof option.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
In Google Files, the internal storage says 0 B free, even with showing hidden files enabled. In ZArchiver, the /sdcard partition says Access is denied and when exiting, the folder disappears. In Root Browser, when going to Internal Storage, it literally says Error listing directory. Even the Files app (the built in one) does not show the Internal Storage.

What is weird is that it shows in TWRP however, so maybe it is a system bug?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Boot your device into Safe Mode. This temporarily disables third-party apps. If the issue persists in Safe Mode, it suggests a system bug or storage corruption. If it's resolved, a downloaded app might be causing the problem. Uninstall recently downloaded apps one by one until the issue disappears.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I still had the 0 B error even after deleting 2 apps. Something is really wrong with my phone...
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
Then why don't you just backup your stuff and factory reset?
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Okay, I fixed it now after forgetting the old DankCard. Now the storage is fine.
[General Questions and Answers] MaddoxJarvis:
First, clear the cache by going to Settings > Storage > Internal Storage > Cached data and clear it. Sometimes, clearing the cache can free up space and fix minor issues. Next, check for any system updates. Sometimes, updates can fix storage-related problems. If you can still access some of your files, try to back up any important data to your SD card. This way, you won't lose anything valuable if things get worse. As a last resort, you might need to do a factory reset. This can often resolve deeper issues with the device, but make sure you back up all your important data before doing this, as a factory reset will erase everything on your device. I hope this helps and you can get your device working correctly again!
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Sorry but my storage was fixed by forgetting a corrupt SD card that was mounted as internal storage.

I have been out from Wear OS few years now, but got my hands to GW6 and was amazed that there is still no version of Pixel Watch Face with working AOD. So i decided to fix that.

- AOD working

- Concentric should be glitch free

- Watch Face Editor from watch removed because it's not working. (Use phone to edit)

Don't know if working with other watches, but feel free to try.

i've tried 3 custom roms for the redmi note 11 (crDroid, PixelExperience, currently on XiaomiEU's HyperOS). I know there are many others roms like ParanoidAndroid or EvoX. I want to ask which one is the best in terms of battery life, performance and stability?

btw hyperos is available on xiaomieu for spesn, it does work on both variants (im using global/spes)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] rasyidzqq:
Link please... Last time I check... Still miui 14 stable that available to download
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] bodiless_pensiveness:
In the case of spes, there really isn't a consensus as to what is the best custom rom since it seems that every device performs a tad different, so the best thing you can do is to try as many roms as you want and see what suits you best. Although, if you are looking for performance above everything else, your best bet is to stick with anything based on AOSP since MIUI and HyperOS are rather heavy, though in my experience there really isn't an abysmal difference. In my case i still use the latest MIUI 14.0.6 from xiaomi.eu, it runs fine, battery life is actually great and i dont really notice any bugs (other than screen flickering in dark mode at 90hz). Happy modding!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] rasyidzqq:
That screen flickering very annoying... 🤣 On that time I always set 60hz... The super wallpaper was sooooo amazing... 😁☺️👍👍👍 That snow mountain is the best
