Ah, so it's a way to let devs of say LineageOS create fully open source ROM for sony devices? Something like that?
[EOL][RECOVERY][Android 8 / 9][Stock/SODP][XZ2/c/p, XZ3] TWRP [UNofficial]

Dual Sim + SD
Hello
How did you manage to place the second Sim? Your image isn't the best view.
If I place the second on the top of the SD card it won't stick on it's place and the whole construction seems to be to thick for the slot.
Can you please create a guide to get this hardware-setup?
thanks

Hi, I dissolved the SIM card in dichloroethane, but acetone can also work to make it sofr and remove all the plastic. Afterwards it's 0.1 mm thin and can be glued on SD card surface.
However I should warn, that if the final result is thick, it can get stuck in the tray.
More safe would be to use this device and get the sim behind a silicon case or whatever:

If you're not unlocked use Sony Companion. If unlocked get the firmware from xperiafirm. Haven't checked if it's on Emma yet.
Should be. I have used firmware from other regions before without issues.
Wait. Why do you want to downgrade to .3 from .32

Perhaps I'm a little bit stupid, but I can't get any twrp to work neither get any rom to Boot. So I want to try an older firmware. My last Sony was a Z1, that was easy at all. I always have the luck to get devices which are really ugly for custom roms...
I haven't really understood which TWRP I should use. Stock? Sodp? Perhaps my last Sony device... Or some German here who would like to help me. ?

Just flash and Boot the newest stock Firmware first
Then just follow the instructions to flash the ROM in fastboot and boot it
If you want twrp, follow its instructions.
Stock twrp is only for stock based ROMs which aren't based on SODP.
And to flash gapps Please fullwipe your device again.
I don't see any difference to other custom roms except that at the moment there is no .zip file for twrp which contains the .IMG files you flash in fastboot.
I'm not happy with the bugs in Android 10 so I'm trying Flashtool for the first time to downgrade to (stock) 9.
I get this dialogue appear when I connect the phone to the pc just before starting the flash.
"Those data are not in the FSC script and will be skipped:
BOOT, DSP, FSG, MODEMST1, MODEMST2, RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
Is it safe to continue? I haven't done this before so I'm being cautious.

Thank you. I was worried that it would not install the Boot systems perhaps, when I saw the word "Boot" in the warnings!
Yes, I found a November 2019 Pie patch, 52.0.A.11.32
My phone normally has the German (DE) customised, but I could only find the Central Europe (CE) customised. That will be okay?
Do you maybe have the firmware for me? And did you unlock the bootloader?
And is the camera still working after downgrading?
Thx

82There always people complaining, regardless what you do.
I use only phones where I can get custom rom updates over a long time period.
I am very happy about my first time with a xperia smartphone and the possibilities.
For other vendors you are forced to use the stock firmware to create a custom rom.
Here you can choose between the stock firmware or the SODP AOSP firmware developed from scratch without hacks and focused on stability and free from bloatware.
Here you have the possibility to help as a volunteer and take part in which direction the SODP AOSP firmware gets developed.
About the stock DRM, yes, I hate it, too.
But Sony does move away from it.
They did weak it with Oreo and further with PIE (more features without DRM allowed get used) and the Xperia 1 is now the beginning of xperia smartphones with camera RAW support on stock, not only SODP AOSP based ROMs.
So it goes in the right direction and is very promising for the future.
Maybe on xperias starting with Q/R the DRM will disappear.2
I am very glad to hear they're slowly moving away from it, it would make their 'open' device program much more open
But yes, people will always complain, it is how progress happens, if there's no complaints there's nothing to improve it's not necessarily a bad sign! it means people are using your device!
I do agree the open device program with its dedicated developers and community input is pretty unique and amazing to have, which is exactly why I've stayed with them for so long, but I simply didn't have a choice this time around, I needed a working phone with my own software on it, and I just couldn't get it working the way I did with all my other phones. It might even be that the phone itself is broken, but I can't exactly make use of the warranty anymore, which also bothers me because OnePlus seems to be willing to replace your device just fine.
All in all I was very disappointed and angry this time around with the experience I got, and I will stand by my words as long as they continue this behavior. So I do hope they will continue removing their hardware DRM
There are definitely even worse smartphone OEMs to pick than Sony, Apple for instance haha, and perhaps Samsung and HTC and Huawei (who seems to have removed the unlock ability from their website entirely), and I will *never* buy devices from them as long as they think they can own the device AFTER you bought it.
It's not even that I care about root access, I usually have that disabled entirely for safety reasons, it's just that I don't trust the default software on any device, one of the first things I do when I buy a new computer is wipe it, and Lenovo's Superfish debacle and HP's exploitable system tools/drivers have firmly confirmed to me that this is the right thing to do (plus I run Linux/Arch/etc, couldn't care less about ConsoleOS 10).
Not to mention I would've never bought the Oneplus if I couldn't do that, because I know exactly how much China loves to put backdoors in things, hell even the USA does that (remember PATRIOT anyone? or what about the whole shadowbrokers dumb with exploits that the NSA kept to themselves for years? Entire reason WannaCry existed!), so while some people may call me paranoid, I think it's my right to be able to change the software on the computers that I buy, whether they fit in my pocket or not
Edit: and of course the fact that your device stops working as soon as the OEM stops supporting it of course, I think it's beyond strange that governments aren't calling a halt to that, the amount of electronics waste is massive, and this kind of scammy 'oh guess your device is useless now and you'll have to buy a new one<3' behavior when opensource roms could easily keep your device running for years after makes me want to run political campaigns.2
You need to unlock the phone and break the Sony DRM.
Or you can't flash stuff on the phone2That was the official pie rom and like I said it worked before! I guess with the amount of ROM switching some other files got lost somewhere.
As for Omni, it seems like it doesn't like my NFC chip and occasionally seems to crash with opengapps (stock) installed.. I've been trying to get TWRP to work with my own compiled AOSP ROM, but I might just try put Stock on it again to the best of my abilities with your above instructions tonight, if not I'll probably invest in something like a google pixel 3 which also has a snapdragon 845, would be nice to compare the opensource experience with that one at least the build instructions seem pretty straightforward https://source.android.com/setup/build/building.html or perhaps a oneplus device or something non-waterproof with a waterproof case.. or a raspi 4 with screen/bat/4g and a bunch of ducttape until it's waterproof not like there's anything that's not made of glue these days anyway, except maybe the fairphones :cyclops:
thanks for those instructions though! I'll try them out tonight. and thanks for not turning your back on me because of my frustrated responses, I know I'm not an easy customer, but you gotta admit the smartphone world is more voodoo than logic with the amount of bugs and workarounds and bugs in workarounds and so forth
you could also just execute my build environment on github to build the stuff
No problem, you're welcome
Customer care is the hardest care. :silly:
