[HOW TO]Bring back your X-reality under unlocked BL

Hey guys！
Some of you maybe experiencing a X-REALITY lose after BL unlock(mostly).I just found a way to fix this problem.I`m not a coder or developer,so I`ll make it easy.
1.Whatever firmware you`re on,first backup all your files from the build-in storage,the next steps will delete all of them.
2.Use flashtool`s BLU function to relock the BL (IMPORTANT!)
3.Flash the official FW17.1.A.2.69 (MUST BE!)
4.After initial boot,you get your X-reality back with locked BL
5.Now use flashtool unlock the BL again (If you boot into the system,you`ll find X-reality still functional)
6.Proceed install the recovery kernel via fastboot,then the roms you like
7.Now you have a fully functional X-reality with a custom rom.
For developers,things to be noticed:
When I flashed official FW17.1.A.2.69 under locked BL via flashtool, at the end of flash log I found an extra rewriting operation
to the TA file comparing to the FW17.1.1.A.0.402 (which there was no logs).The unlock and relock action rewrites
the TA file,so I thought it`s all about the TA file.No matter what rom or kernel you use.
Hope this would help you guys develop sth.
Tested environment:
D6503
Official FW17.1.1.A.0.402 rooted
RomAur v3.1
Official FW17.1.1.A.0.402 kernel
Doomlord kernel V09

Personally, I don't see the big deal with X-Reality. Wouldn't people want to know what the picture looks like on all devices not just their own? Maybe it's just me.

I also don't get why so many want to have something that makes everything look wrong. I'd prefer if I could use my screen calibration tool and have applied to the system.

Obviously Sony gives us this function isn`t a waste.It`s a useful stuff viewing pics or videos.
I don`t take much attention about the color "accurate" or "reduction",afterall,it`s just a mobile phone display.
Of course you could disable it if you don`t like those colorish style,but it`s good to have this function rather than not.
No offense mate, it`s just like foods,some of you maybe like sweety things,others like hot things.

Actually, I quite like X-Reality. It gives a very nice colour rendering, not crazy like AMOLED but a nice subtle colour boost and looks amazing, especially when watching YouTube videos.

Bump!!
Well done OP for finally figuring it out!
Tested on two occasions and this method works 100%.
Thanks again.

X reality is horrible for video, cause ghosting and make things look grainy, they should just include an option for jpeg only.

I don't know if I can be arsed trying to recovery X-Reality, I've just spent all afternoon configuring my phone again.
What's the easiest way to back up all my settings then so I can do this install method? Is it worth restoring my TA first?

Hello there.. Well this is my first ever post on XDA and to be honest I just made an account to THANK YOU for your marvelous achievement regarding this Bootloader disease. I was on .314 with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, everything was working fine untill I came to notice after a month that X-Reality is not working since I unlocked the damnloader. I have been nearly searching web for more than 10 hours yet no luck whatsoever to get back the X-Reality function. And then I found your thread and took me 2 more hours to find that Taiwan firmware and download it. Anyways to cut short, the whole process you have described works perfectly and Thankyou sooooo much once again for giving me my X-Reality back :good: :laugh: Now I can see .402 OTA in my notifications and gona try to update from there...

Good, I used this, I installed existenz 3.1.5 with bootloader unlocked and work it. I tried with envi-rom but doesn't work

Can i do this to recover locked bootloader? I unlocked it with no backup.

I unlocked it with no backup TA too.. And the answer is no, you can't recover TA DRM keys, I tried recover TA partition (I did backup before, with .55 locked), on 402 and 314 stock, and I can't recovery xreality only on custom roms

This solution works well however you will loose Xreality again if u flash another stock FW after flashing the Taiwan FW.

Ahh, I see. So after flashing the TW firmware, you have to stick to using .69 or use a custom rom?
That sucks as I was hoping I could recover x-reality and flash to 4.4.4..

[How To] Manually Update Camera Firmware [TW/4.4.x][G900*]

I am giving a $40 buck bounty who ever cracks this one *** This is a Tread to get all camera firmware update Help and information for our models G900****

If you are not capable of following this simple steps and somehow magically EFF you camera just
Full Clean wipe Reflash thru odin or so they say and cross your fingers
SO... After i decided to sit and make some time to reverse engineer the camera test.apk
i managed to solve this one..
**PS: for all of you saying that ones you odin upgrade it will update the CAM.fw automaticly then go ahead and skip this thread as i tried personally flashing 4 times thru odin and nothing happened only the phone fw would update not the camera fw/ besides i don't want to delete anything and this is a better faster way
All you need:
*Any Galaxy S5 G900*[m/t/f/h/w8/any] series with kk4.4.x
[not tested on 5.0 you are welcome to try my solution with the well deserve credits to my self]
*Touchwiz only (you can always update your camera and go back to CM)
*no need to be rooted
* you need to make sure you unfreeze or have installed the CameraTest.apk (FactoryCamera_FB.apk)
if you are using any de bloated rom or you have ran any debloaters
** if you don't see the flashing options enabled..... with you CameraTest.apk then replace it with the one i will indicate below.
First and most important step:
* dial on your phone *#34971539#
( you will get the Camera Firmware Standard screen if you don't then read the steps above again.. see what you are missing)

*** last 6 digits are your fw release version
Now that you have that information you may proceed..
1. Get the latest CAM fw for your device with that information..
**.Download any Flashable ROM for your Device model (or if rooted get them from your phone)
2. go to \system\cameradata\
search and extract these 2 files: "yoursensor model"_Isp0.xxxxx.bin / "yoursensor model"_Isp1.xxxxx.bin
3. Save them some where else where you can edit them...
4. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp0).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Main.bin
5. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp1).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Companion.bin
6. Save them and put them on your Internal Memory root directory (not your exterternal sd card)
7. Download the ****.Key file that i will send you and place it in the same directory as the fw files.
******
After this you are all set up and ready..
dial on your phone *#34971539# again and you will see all options are no longer greyed out
2. click on Cam/Phone Fw ver and check that the NEW FW is being detected
(compare with your previews info)
EG. i Had CamFw F16QL"GB00SB" and phone version F16QL"HC04GB" * same as Rom release coding
3. just for safety click on both CAM DUMP options
4. Click on Phone to Cam FW write (main) ones done reboot..
5. Go back to the firmware screen and click on " Phone to Cam FW write (7cxl) or your model number
REBOOT... PROFIT!!!!!
Go to check cam/phone FW ver again and see both are the same now

Thanks , please send me a link

Folks,
You can make your own .key file because it is simply blank! However, the filename must be 1q2w3e4r.key and it should be placed with the camera firmware .bin files in \system\cameradata\ together.

Root and bootloader unlock discussions

Because "Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting. ", I feel this needs it's own thread instead of this one oem-unlock-bootloader-preserving-drm, which was originally discussing DRM warranty.
I want to discuss if it is possible and how it would be done. It is not yet listed on Sony's webpage with phone and other devices which support unlock bootloader. I will try to root and unlock bootloader this weekend, I will try using the same method as for z3c.

i'm on a weekend trip and will try to root my z5c on sunday evening or monday. a smartphone without adaway, titanium backup etc. is crap.
feedback about your success would be nice.

I need some help with this one. I was able to to do oem unlock but my phone reset when I started it again.
I am also tempted to flash the recovery with ClockWorkMod for Z3C but not without a way to revert it. Anyone got any ideas for how to do that?

I don't know if you can do this in Xperias. But in Nexus devices you can boot (without flash) a recovery.
For instance:
fastboot boot Clockworkmod.img
However, I would just wait for an official custom recovery for the Z5C.

how did you get the oem code, since the device isn't listed on sony dev bootloader unlock side yet

Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking

As an FYI
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking site:
"To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5, prepare it by following these steps:
1.Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
2.From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking"
So it looks like this is all that´s required, no more code requesting process like on previous devices. However, nothing specific mentioned on the DRM aspect.. I have checked the option, still had "myXperia" enabled and all was good. Also, have not seen a difference in Camera quality, but would not bet on it...

but did you root your z5c?

I just followed the guide for z3c, it accepted my IMEI. But as already stated, you can now unlock OEM for all z5 models. Here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/. I don't know if it worked because when I started my phone again, it rested to it's original state and I had restore from a backup.

These are just the methods to enter the flash mode

Guys help please. When I check in service menu there is ,,bootloader unlockable: NO''
I need to have root. If I use this guide ( http://unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-z5-compact/ ) it will unlock bootloader? Also, there is NO in service menu but I have code from sony to unlock from their website/email. Help?

If it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it to bootloader unlock allowed:YES it's impossible. Only way is to change your z5 for another one that says bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Having a unlock code from sony won't make any difference either

P8 Camera Focus Issue

Since new updates (B370, B380), I have an issue with the camera.
The focus is terrible, and you can't proper take normal photos.
This is an example that I took recently:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
And, all apps that use the camera, also have the focus like this.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or, something like use a previous camera version?

i definitely dont have this issue, are you sure you flashed rom right? or did you flash rom for your right model (GRA-09) ? maybe you could try this rom as the option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-gratitude-tecalote-t3468118 im recently using it too, not a single problem, i can not offer any other solution and i doubt someone else can, if none of this will fix it, i would recommend you to flash back lollipop and write to huawei support even they are kind of useless, but its worth to give it a try

try different camera, if is same issue ...might be caused by firmware

Same issue after last update B397
As stated, I've got the same exact misbehaviour of the back camera: the first second or two the focus is perfect, then it doubles the image.
It happens also in professional mode with manual focus.
I'm on GRA-L09C432B397 no root or anything else, only OTA updates when available.
Is there a way to solve the problem ?
Is there a way to flash again the full firmware to try to solve the problem or to downgrade back to another firmware to make the camera work again ?
If flashing is an opportunity can you link me a resource explaining what I have to do exactly ?
I did before on other phones, so I can follow technical guides about flashing and/or rooting if needed.
Thank you in advance.

Huawei please give a fix
Same issue here !

I did this thread nearly a year ago and I still have the same issue.
I have exactly this issue as you describe it.
First 2 seconds the focus is right, but after that, you have a double image.
I was thinking that this problem was an internal one (like a damage for a fall). But if this issue is appearing for a lot new people, this is a firmware issue.
But, I tried downgrade without results. Maybe we need to do extra steps to have a perfect clean rom.
We need to try to contact Huawei or contact an expert in roms for Huawei P8 to check problems.

You can try downgrading to Android 5.0.1 to check if it's a firmware problem.

I tried several downgrade and upgrade again. I tried changing ROM version and also tried L09, UL00 and UL10. not solved yet.
Then went to a HUAWEI Service Center;
they told me it is a physical problem, because of fall and they should change camera lenz/motor.
but i can't understand why i have not NFC in my phone!

I tried several downgrade and upgrade again. I tried changing ROM version and also tried L09, UL00 and UL10. not solved yet.
Then went to a HUAWEI Service Center;
they told me it is a physical problem, because of fall and they should change camera lenz/motor.
but i can't understand why i have not NFC in my phone!

[GUIDE]Convert Docomo SO-05G to SGP771

After several attempt, i managed to install SGP771 LTE firmware on my SO-05G Ntt DoCoMo tablet.
First, mine is already unlock simcard from dealer, i dont know the procedure to unlock so dont ask. After install SGP771 fw, its running with no problem, simcard still accepted, LTE work.
I will not go detail on how to use Flashtool, xperifirm or driver install etc, since these things a common for Xperia users.
Here is the stock modified ftf to use with flashtool, its based on Hongkong 32.4.A.1.54:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wvlKuHDhgEZ6HwLwJZe0zpQiJPd7YgAN/view?usp=sharing
Open flashtool, after choose firmware to flash, tick the following option:
WIPE: APP_LOGS, DIAG, USERDATA
EXCLUDE: AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS_1, AMSS_FS_2, B2B, FOTAKERNEL, MODEM, PARTITION-IMAGE
Then flash like normal.
Goodluck. :fingers-crossed:

Using it for a while now, no problem at all, except the device seem a little bit warmer while running heavy games.

Thank you.

Very cool to see somebody do something new with these. The hardware is still superb; it's such a pity that the software was abandoned while it was still so young. I'd love to see Oreo or Pie on these.

Me too I've three of them and would love to see some noble soul port recent version of Android.

Nice trick. I hope it works with my phone too. Which version of flashtool did you use? and did you modify the FTF in any way?

can you guide me to update firmwares
I recently used Sony Z4 tablet Docomo. I don't know how to update the firmware. Can you guide me?

SO-05G can't unlock the bootloader. It means it was not same as SGP771.

How about the NFC? Is it still works??

the link are broken, any mirror?

Hi, first of all, I'm new at XDA, so I really apologise
Recently, I bought a second hand Docomo z4 tablet from my friend. He bought it when he attend his education at japan about 3-4 years-ish ago. The tablet had a signal issue for about 6 months [no signal but the card is detected], so he sold for cheap. It was a nice deal for me [$100 with a cheap bluetooth keyboard], as I need a tablet/laptop for working on my papers asap [mine was stolen] where the problem was a non issue [still have my trusty nokia candybar].
Mostly, it runs fine, great even, but when I open my a bit big research project, it was chugging a bit. My friend said to try root or install linux/lineageos as it has less bloatware and newer android version [to bad I found that lienageos for z4 tablet was dropped ]. I was searching far and wide on how to root this tablet, but apparently mine was unable to be rooted [Bootloader unlock allowed: no]. I have tried almost everything like software repair using sony pc companion using my friend's pc but no luck whatsoever.
I am really curious, will flashing this change the bootloader unlock status to yes? or uninstalling the bloatwares? or this is just modifying the model number to show SGP771 instead SO-05g?
Thank you kindly

No, this rom will not change the bootloader unlock state. But it will transform your device to global version, without Japanese bloatwares.
The rom itself is official SGP771's rom, i'm only modified the flash code to make it flashable on SO-05G.

Need help to convert
Hi, thank you for this rom, It's work well, but I got little problem, do you have a way to convert back from SGP to Docomo, the problem is, since I use this rom, I got ghost touch under the front camera, I think because the tablet become quite warmer, appreciate your help.
Regards,
