Which phone are you using? Which stock US firmware are you using?

No idea what that file is. You download the releases you want with XperiFirm. It will extract each of the updates to a separate folder. You then start with the US base release directlry. Copy system_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin and vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin from a region other than US to retain...

I mixed US + CE1 + USc as usual and it works fine.

From people who have tried that in the past, it won't work properly. But I don't think there's any risk in trying ... you can always get into the flash mode and reflash the device with the old one. NOTE: The only weird thing I've seen was one update a while back where I couldn't go back to the...

That worked - thanks. Download just finished, and I compared the R2C with the R3C release: elabel-G8342-row-row_201809030842515.1_47.1.A.12.270_X-FLASH-LTALABEL-C93B.sin is missing in the new release - doubt that matters. fwinfo.xml shows the new revision number. oem_X-FLASH-CUST-C93B.sin is...

Maybe I should have - sorry. Another user just said he can re-download the files since he still has the information in the download history - so I guess they don't always/immediately delete files...

Nah I cleared it already. Any chance you can ZIP it up and upload it to me? (I can share a Google Drive folder for you to upload it to...)

Can XperiFirm only download the latest release, or is ther esome way to make it download the previous one?

How do you download it? XperiFirm just shows the 47.2.A.6.30-R3C release now...

Same problem here ... I mentioned it on the XperiFirm thread.

There seem to be a problem with the latest XZ1 Dual US firmware. XperiFirm will download and say it unpacked everything, but only 28 MB of files are present after the extraction.

XZ1c US 47.2.A.4.45_R6C was released!!! I made myself a US/CE1/UScompact Frankenstein firmware, and all the menus that should appear do (VoLTE etc). Can't test if it actually works since I'm out of the country, but seems likely to work!

Turned out to be the 2 USB-C cables I was using. Apparently some cables don't work for flash mode!!!

I have them if you still need them. They are extracted (by XperiFirm), but I deleted the "userdata" file already ... If you want them I can zip them up and put them up somewhere for you. ---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ---------- Do any of you have...

Only the US compact supports T-Mobile VoLTE, and they haven't yet released Pie for that model :( Did you flash an Oreo oem file (haven't tried ... might work), or another region?

Yes.

FYI: I just flashed a US/AE mixed 47.2.A.2.33 (used AE in the past - mostly because the 3 last letters in the release version are the same ... no idea if that matters much). Fingerprint works fine. Obviously No VoLTE.

Haven't tried due to XZ1c not being out yet, but that doesn't sound encouraging :(

Since you're running a "mixed" firmware, the OTA updates won't work any more. (They will probably fail if you try since they check if the original files match expectations ... or they would overwrite your mixed files removing the support you added). I just check https://xpericheck.com a few...

If you search back like 6 months there will be a post describing it. But basically: 1) Download xperifirm https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 2) Use it to download 3 firmwares. a) US release for the dual-SIM mode. b)...

You can still get updates ... just go through the manual download/mix/update process every month. www.xpericheck.com will show you the new updates. The process is SUPER simple, and as long as you remember to delete the "userdata" file, you won't lose any data.

I noticed v13 of newflasher was out (I was using v11). That fixed it!

I already tried 2 different cables, and the same release twice. Reverting to 179 worked. Will try another 205 release shortly...

I just tried flashing XZ1 firmware 205. AE base + US compact oem. Get this error: - Extracting sparse chunk flash_session/system.025 - Uploading sparse chunk flash_session/system.025 download:063ff070 ERROR: GetOverLapped_out_Result: failed with error code 31 as follows...

I also noticed that "SmartLock" (Google Trust agent) stops working after a while (maybe after the phone is turned fully off). Re-enabling it requires disabling the Google Trust Agent, rebooting, then enabling it again. When it stops working, going into the SmartLock screen shows no options...

I've been running the triple firmware (US base + CE1 system/vendor + US XZ1c oem) since last, so I haven't tried with the new .179 US XZ1c release. This triple combo *sometimes* does VoLTE. After flashing it never works, but if I go to Dual SIM menu and select my non-T-Mobile SIM as LTE ... wait...

I'm not saying getting all features to work at the same time isn't possible. I've been doing that for a while. Anyways, I just tested the "US + CE1 system/vendor + XZ1c oem" combination, and indeed you were right that VoLTE works like this. "AE + XZ1c oem" works just as well as the above...

I've been playing around quite a bit with different combinations, and it's pretty interesting. Firstly, I can't seem to find any benefits from mixing 3 firmwares. (US base + Non-US fingerprint/system + US compact radio). The Non-US files copied for fingerprint/system is 90% of the full size, so...

Beware with the new G8342_Customized US_1310-4358_47.1.A.12.179_R6B. It works fine with the G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.1.A.12.145_R8B modem, but I get stuck in a bootloop if I add the fingerprint files from G8342_Customized CE1_1310-4354_47.1.A.12.145_R7B. Edit: I guess I'm stuck without...

Well, at least it was super easy to do. But honestly, I think the bigger question is "Why can T-Mobile (and others I'm sure) prevent VoLTE without partnerships"? Isn't it part of the LTE standard and should just work across the board?

So I got G8342 working with VoLTE and fingerprint by mixing 3 firmwares as described earlier. I noticed Google thought it's an XZ1c in it's initial "You have a new device" mails, but everything else shows right. 1 issue though: Smart Lock. If I go into the Smart Lock settings there are no...

Same problem here with a lot of apps being "not supported on my device". MLB.com At Bat Z Launcher Arrow Launcher Even stranger ... I tried installing "Google Play Games" which *is* supported. But that one gives "Can't install app, Error code -505" when installing.

Problems with WiFi when BT is paired? I'm on the 20150829 ROM and noticed something interesting. If I enable BT and pair a headset, even if the headset is off/disconnected, WiFi will drop out every few seconds. Running a WiFi scanner will only see APs on a single frequency - and then see...

Sadly its not. Google has decided that phones only get "multiple users" whereas tablets also gets "restricted profiles".

And Phones are missing the "Add restricted profile" option ... I want to restrict what apps my kids can run on my phone. Any idea how to enable that feature?

Same here ... I want to install apps in my user, and have my kids use a restricted profile. On my Nexus 4/5, I can only add a new user - and the user can't see any of my installed apps! Why is it Google used to rock, but is just blowing chunks recently?

Sigh .... Google F'd it up in Lollipop. Now we have support for adding users on phones, but not for restricting the account. I don't want my kid to be able to use my account, but with an added user, none of the apps *I* installed are visible! Has anybody found a solution to enable Restricted...

How are you selecting 87.9 FM on it? I can't get it to go below 88.1 FM.

Hmm setback. Now that Google officially released Music 606, I wanted to install Q support on my wife's phone. It's a T-Mobile G2x running Android 2.3.4. When using RootExplorer (it's not rooted, but thats file file manager I have) to install the APK, it says: "Parse error. There is a problem...

Yesterday I got Music (and on the Q) working on a stock/rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S2.

The Q app first. When the Q finally showed up in the new Play Music app, it was after turning wifi off/on a few times ... don't know if that's what finally did it though.

Yes that worked for me! It still took a bunch of tries to get it to do anything though. For a long time, and several reboots, the Q didn't show up in the list of devices in Play Music... No idea what I did, but all of a sudden it showed up. Volume control from the phone still doesn't work, and...

Presumably you paid less than $299+tax/shipping, so you just have to wait 2 weeks for Google to release the Gingerbread+ support.

Presumably this one ... it doesn't install as-is on ICS, but I guess I'll try the manual "put it in system/app" approach. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350164

Sweet! That worked - thanks! Now I just need to find the latest Music package ... and a WiFi access point *grrr*.

It starts installing, then says "Application not installed"

Still doesn't work on my T989 Galaxy S2 running ICS :crying:

For me it's slightly different. My phone is rooted, and Wireless Tether at first glance seems to work fine. However, after using it for a minute or so, the shared data connection dies and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again. If I constrain the PC from making too many connections...

Mine was rooted, but I had not changed any of the standard packages. The only thing I used root for was to underclock it for slightly better battery life. If you have removed/replaced any packages on the phone, you probably need to restore them back to the system default again. A device wipe...

Update just got pushed to my D2G. Find it here on megaupload ... I can't post URLs yet, so sorry about the format. www[dot]megaupload[dot]com/?d=R7THKZ2V Blur_Version.2.4.29.A956.Verizon.en.US.zip (I guess the name of the file is the currently installed one. The date of the file was today, and...
