[Q] bootloader - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way to change unlock bootloader allowed from no to yes, as apparently you can if you root and use a root file manager

NO, but if you find a way that has since eluded the devs and members here, let us know.

If you have phone from operator such as orange you can go to Sony center and if you have receipt guy from Sony change your status to yes for free I called 2 days ago and this is confirmed info but guy said that I will have 5 attemps to unlock bootloader I don't know what situation is when you have status yes from the beginning

I find that a bit dubious tbh, because they'd need to access the test point which would mean the hassle of unsealing and resealing the Phone, and if Sony can do it then devs would be able to too. Untill we've seen documented evidence of someone changing their status on any 2013/14 operator provided Phone such discussions are pointless imo.

You mean like this?
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
The above link is for G1, N1, Desire but should be able to do the same on other phones
just to use USB ?
I saw someone ask Scotty this question on IRC, and he said it should be able to do it for definite. Someone just needs to do the work to make it happen.
It's called USB OTG! And AFAIK, it is going to be tough to get it working on the G2. But then who knows..It seems Scotty can do anything these days
it is possible on desire:

why is this not possible on vision?
waiting for this function
holy ass, that thing in the link looks awesome
i have an extra sd card, swapped out the one i use for phone, ran universal USB installer and was able to turn my phone into a "pen" driver.
was able to install some DLC to xbox360

Once I heard the guy in the videos accent the point of the video became irrelevant lol

Thanks for your answer. You know a Guide how to port this to Z ? Perhaps we can insert some modules..
I've managed to boot ubuntu ontop of android but I think Android needs the modules first to pass usb-host-mode

[Q] Don't judge me. Ace 2 OTG?

Does Ace 2 support OTG?
I've looked everywhere for info and all I found was some stone age posts. Has anything changed? I have cyanogenmod 10.2 (adapted for Ace 2) which has OTG function, it just doesn't work.... properly. When I plug USB stick, nothing happens. When I plug my gamepad, light turns on, but nothing happens. I have an adapter that was bought for Nexus 3, used for Galaxy S3 and S4 (I saw posts saying that you need specific adapter, so i'm just throwing that info in).
Edit: Also, when i turn OTG function on, phone thinks it's charging. Even when I plug in and out charger itself.
Ty for any info in advance and I won't forget to push that Thanks button.
Nope. No OTG on ACE II.

Could you link me to the project?
Only power works, and that's been possible since D-Kernel I think...
People have said the problem is all in the kernel configuration, no proof on whether that's true
---------
In fact I don't think any released ROM, 2.x or 4.x, even supports dock mode (or maybe that's due to the very poor resistors I used... a CM based rom even stopped accepting USB until the next reboot...)
Cocafe already tried to make OTG working but he failed AFAIK

Is sony able to change "bootloader unlock allowed" from no to yes?

I came across an old z2 or z3 thread the other day and someone mentioned they were able to get sony to change BUA: to yes, they just had to provide the phone info and sim unlock code. if thats true would this be possible with the z5p?
I really like this phone and would like to root it once my warranty is up.
Yes if your sim counter is a 0 and send to sony !!!
So theres hope for us bell users with "bootloader unlock allowed no"? Thank you!!
Hi! I did it with my Xperia V, I wrote Sony support and they sent a messenger to pick it up and changed it quickly and free. I was in Spain, so I hope you can do it too

Warning screen unlocking bootloader?

Does Z2 force have the "annoying warning message" on boot after unlocking bootloader like Z series?
Have anyone realized something like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/themes/modded-logo-bin-to-eliminate-phone-t3586169 for Z2 Force?
The above could be a great starting point for Z2 eventually I think...

yes it does have that warning, pretty sure all Moto phones would have that warning, but that mod is pretty cool, not sure if it will flash on the Z2 Force, but that would be totally cool. asking if it will flash on this phone in that thread
Nobody able to realize a Z2 version?

Please consider that on Moto Z only first one is capable to fully hiddens warning screen...

Check the NCP rom thread. He mentions having a custom boot screen. I'm sure it can be done

I suggest that for the normal user, who wants notifications, no bloatware and a fully working global rom you should only get the global variant (EVR-L29) and not any chinese variant (EVR-AL00 / EVR-TL00)
Google pay / nfc only work on global variant and some report it doesnt work on the special rom for unlocked chinses variants
I have EVR-L29 and except touch issues, I dont have any problem whats so ever, google pay , nfc works and notfications are getting through
I bought my phone from a localized store for 830$
Buy AL00 and hunt the code for clouding. No problem with GPay, everything works as it should.

People keep chiming in and saying NFC/ GPay no problem BUT most people don't say their location. Maybe in some countries with some banks it works. Google apps are fine.
In USA, GPay does NOT work on the Chinese AL00 Mate 20 X. I tried many days to get it to work. Major banks in USA BLOCKS it. I returned the phone and have the International version which works perfectly with GPay.

What touch problem do you have? Someone else with evr-l29 have it too?
It's a no brainer!
If you ain't Chinese or you don't live in China! You should get the L29; the International version to save all your troubles with the Chinese version of phone as time goes on and that Google Playstore would list your phone as an "Uncertified device" among other possible issues!

Even so .... Why would you buy a Chinese version while there is a fully working's Global version without the needs of technical-know-how to go about the problems, patches, side-loadings stuffs and fixes and etc and not to mention about **Unlocked Bootloader by some ****y sellers..
**Many local financial / banking apps don't work on an Unlocked Bootloader phones as part of their security measures and the numbers are increasing!

For me, it's not much different. I never use Google pay. I just removed almost all the Chinese system apps with adb commands. Only Google maps history and Google back up is not working. 9.1 updated three months early than the global version. I believe Chinese version will get Android Q update first too.

I understand you points of being a technical-know-how on Chinese version of phone models. :good: I used the Chinese version of Xiaomi phones for years too!
For a normal buyer who are not technically savvy and wants a phone and Apps that work 100% out of the box. It will be a big problem if he or she bought the Chinese version!
Pretty sure there is a rom for the AL00 (Chinese version) that has working google pay, etc... It's in the rom section of this sub-forum.
