Hi folks,
Perhaps few of you active people have already noticed my desperate pleas for help around XDA. I hard bricked my phone in a silly fashion whilst downgrading from OPP28.65-37 to stock nougat rom as I lost functions in the former due to its incompatibility with its montana siblings. XT-1799-2 despite being and upgunned version has the least support in general and I doubt anyone would care to include it into any custom ROM family or even press on a fully working Android 8.1 or even higher for this device. All I want now is my phone back, rooted and with a working system. For that I need your help.
So, could I find any good soul who would provide me or even create for me a 'mmcblk0.img from their Montana Oreos with bootloader matching OPP28.65-37 ?? Sadly I am not sure what the version is, but someone pointed out it might as high as 12. Could you check for me? Muchas gracias!

I tried to bring it back using various mmcblk0.img based on Nougat, but due to incompatible bootloader - my phone keeps just flashing lights, but screens stays firm black.

Hello everybody.
I have a problem. I had a bootloop on my Blackview BV9000 Pro F so I had to reset the phone. But I wanted to backup my data with some tools, so I have to root this phone, to get to the deleted contacts.
My problem now is, that I can not root the phone. There are several pages, they found a solution (in this forum too), but every link is a dead link or the images aren't compatible with my phone.
What did I do, till now:
I ask for the newest ROM by Blackview - they didn't give me an answer or even post my question to their forum (maybe, because they're in holiday???)
I did unlock the phone, but can not find the right version of twrp for my phone. (Links are dead or not the right version)
Download and started the SP Flash Tool
Understand a little bit, how the partitions on the phone are made.
What do I have:
Phone: Blackview BV9000 Pro F
Buildnumber: BV_BV9000PRO_F_V0.7_20190321
Adroid Version: 8.0.0
I want to undelete my data, as far as possible. So I need help to root it.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Company closed, because of Corona Virus?
Does someone know, if they closed because of the Corona Virus?
I asked some questions and posted some messages on their forum … but nothing happens … I got no answer or can see any post of me.
Greetings
Kal
PS.: No, everything is OK - they posted something else on the website … I have to wait …
The new ROM is online …
Hello again … it is finaly online, the right ROM for this phone (http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=213&t=341480). Now I have a question on how to make TWRP "compatible" with this.
Or try it in this way:
What do I need for drivers and so on, to make a boot partition, to flash TWRP on my phone.
Can someone do it or explain, how to do it?
Greetings,
Kal
I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks
I successfully downgraded my XZ2 Compact (H8314) from Android 10 to 9 using that info: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087435"
but I had a problem, I downloaded (using XPERIAFIRM) 52.0.A.11.32 South Korea version (I'm from Italy, but Italy version is not available) , every thing work fine except LTE (4G) signal, as frequency of two country is not compatible, then I installed Android 10 again and all was ok.
So... now my question is: do you know where I can found 52.0.A.11.32 image customized for Italy?

By using these tools, you accept full responsibility for your actions. Your warranty is void should you run any of these utilities without OnePlus support present. I am not responsible for bricks, fires, nuclear war, etc.
If you modified any partition not touched by MSM, namely param and persist but there are others, you face a possibility of a hard brick. MSM will reset your "Enable OEM Unlocking" in dev settings and you might get a corrupt boot. Restore your backups before attempting. That said, If all you just tried to convert a ROM using OTA payload.bin, you should be fine.
I've noticed that there is a bunch of loose threads with MSM tools posted, and some revisions still don't have it available. I decided to put them all in 1 place.
If you don't know how to use these utilities, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/, as the instructions are the same.

In China, even if the hardware is damaged due to flashing, it is still covered by the warranty. I wonder if it is applicable abroad?

This question is for those that really know, and i apologize if this has been asked.
Now that there is MSM tool for T-Mobile, are devs getting closer about getting an MSM working for converting T-MO to international?.
Thanks in advance.

That's awesome, but maybe i want to wait for conversion until I see what google has on the next pixel. I am kinda intrigued on their SOC.
I agree with only buying samsung and oneplus, but how I wish HTC would still make phones. By far the HTC M7, M8 and M9, are the best phones ever made, they were built to last, and where way ahead of it's time.
But I am intrigued on google working with Samsung to develop their own SOC, I think is name code white chapel, I want to see what google can accomplish with that, better battery life, better integration with custom camera... I don't know i have good feeling about it.
No on the msm repack conversion, I'll post a fastboot conversion soon

I can definitely agree on the HTC phones. I had an HTC One and it was a beautiful phone, way ahead of its time in both design, aesthetic, and bang for its buck. I miss those phones, wish I still had one, at least for backup.

That is amazing! Its good to know we have this tool if we brick our devices.
This topic needs to be pinned. Now that we have MSM, the ROMs will no doubt be along swiftly. With how well Lineage works on my 6T, I can't wait to see what devs do for this device. Now the fun begins!
Da best!
Is it me or the download is extremely slow ?
