    Post [TOOL] Newflasher (xperia command line flasher)

    I read 40 pages of threads, I think a little explanation in the first post could help a lot of nooby people like me. Something like: "You do not need to unlock bootloader or to root the phone if you want to flash a stock firmware from XperiFirm. There are no files in the stock firmware that...

    Post Noob-friendly guide to get from vanilla to lineage

    Hello guys, I found some differences with other Newflash guides: - you do not delete *.ta files in main folder and in boot folder; - you delete kernel_* files instead of boot_* files in main folder; I can't tell if those different steps make any difference, anyway. You should mention that DRM...

    Post [ROM][J500xx][TW-7.1.1][v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port

    I used Root Essential indeed. It recognized my 32 GB SD card and transferred all data after tapping "Migrate Data". Be sure the phone reads the sd card, that it's not corrupted or too big for such an old phone. EDIT: Format it in FAT32 using a computer.

    Post What does happen changing customized firmware?

    Thread What does happen changing customized firmware?

    Hello, I tried searching in every Sony forum, I must be unlucky or I'm typing the wrong keywords. I own a Xperia XZ Premium Dual (G8142), CDA 1308-6877 (customized HK), firmware 47.2.A.8.24 while the others have 47.2.A.10.80 (looking on xpericheck.com). I also own a Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual...

    Post Screen Protector

    I bought 3 screen protector from Amazon, sold by Techgear. https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B06XK9RBRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Those are not tempered glass, as I don't really like its thickness that much. The reviews are good. I will tell you more as soon as I receive the...

    Post What case you will be using?

    I bought this on Amazon: Spigen Ultra Hybrid case https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B071VZ1176/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The back is really hard, while the edges are softer. There is a protection film on it. Hope this case will stay clear, without yellowing too much. I will...

    Post Is possible to install (and run) the XZP/S camera on orther smartphone?

    No It's DEFINITELY not possible to use key features on other phones. It's all about hardware sensors, not only software. There are "general" camera applications that can be installed on pretty muh every phone. This is a specific application, designed for XZP.
