TA Backup for G814x only - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion

If someone interested, just try this small tool:
Run from cmdline (according to sample image), connect device in flash mode, and wait a bit.
*binary* comes from device directly, *config* is in infile format if you want to know what is inside.
No virus / other foreign legionary inside :
https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/8...f13e2099bc9b5a1ddb487ad41cb3948144d/detection
Works on G814x, may work on other devices, but not before (and including) Z5 Premium.

How to fix DRM on XZP:
Step one: Collect Underpants.
Step two: Backup TA.
Step three: Profit.
But seriously, good luck to all testing this. Please report back!

No matter how unstable or chancy this may be (haven't tested, don't wanna risk it haha) it''s progress in this right direction and to the idiots that gave up in the bounty thread, having patience can pay off

Its working. If you don't want to try, don't do that. This is not violence, this only an option To make a drm fix, this could be a step forward.
It's NOT write anything to the device, so safe to try. I have only one G8142, tested, read working fine. On weekend, I'll work on full/partial restore.
Anyway, its not for personal profit, I just want to speed up a complete lossless root solution

Just tested, files have been created, and phone is working without any problem.
Hope someone could get DRM fix soon or at least a point to start with this tool.
Thanks a lot for the effort

You can test is. It cannot write anything, at most cannot read anything.
BTW, this is NOT A RAW TA BACKUP, it backup what the phone give us. But I hope it contains any DRM related stuff
I hope someone will try it out who can understand what it read out, and can give us some feedback.
Anyway, unlocked my one, I love new green shots, but now I can attack from another way too. Looks like dd raw backup
a bit bigger, even its not fully filled

Very good work. It's because people like you that things get done.

There's a quote in Urdu "sabar ka phal meetha hota he" means that the fruit of patience is always sweet.
kudos to this guy. since S8 Snapdragon 835 version is now rooted. i hope we can get Root and Drm keys together sooner on our XZP

Yep, a grest step in the correct direction, also I have to wait anyway haha as I only got my XZP 1 month ago with EE locked haha

I can help reconstruct real TA.img!
Edit:
This tool doesn't backup drm key, I didn't see unit 66667. Without shake authentification I'm believing you can't backup secured units including that drm key unit. I'm still believing that drm key or unlock key is outside trim area, I even didn't see unit 0x8b2 from unlocked device trim area. https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher , can you show your's?
@the_laser , how that is possible that his tool reads some units like:
Code:
[67320]
size=2
data=9A 02
text=
[67321]
size=2
data=FA 01
text=
[67322]
size=2
data=3A 01
text=:
[67323]
size=2
data=1A 01

This works on XZ1 Compact.
It produced 4 files:
[IMEI]_TA_1.binary.tab (146036 bytes)
[IMEI]_TA_1.config.tab (Text display of above)
[IMEI]_TA_2.binary.tab (183728 bytes)
[IMEI]_TA_2.config.tab (Text display of above)
EDIT: For reference, the XZ1c's TA partition is 2MB, so this tool is pulling < 1/4th of that partition.
I don't see 66667 or 8B2 either.

Thanks for responses. So now I need to focus on 66667 abnd 0x8B2.
BTW, "text=" lines for info only, to see is there any text inside, like imei, any sw part version, or log data.
Another question: is there any way to create a modem interface for this device? In the modem firmware part, there's
lot of AT commands, but without interface, I can't communicate with the baseband. On Samsung qualcomm devices,
I could reach lot of things via modem, same logs what are in the partial TA backup binaries. (also I killed one exynos
g925f by wrote something wrong to RF calibration.... )

The tool didn't find my XZ1c, tough I probably need some special drivers that I missed.

Those files are s1 dump for Sony repair services
That provide device info, last Boot logs, installed firmware versions, baseband info, etc
Small parts of TA nothing important

Yes partition is 2mb but that not mean that it have 2mb of the data inside! So thats expected.

You are, of course putting the device into flash mode each try right?
what do you mean by bricked? bricked usually means unable to do anything including flash roms....
x edude03, of course always put return key and x10 is in flash mode.
x dan-htc-touch, bricked is like you say, power on my x10 and in 30/40 seconds one phone with warning appear in the screen.
May be this problems is by status battery < than 50% ?
thanks a lot

I have a feeling that is has to do with an incompatible baseband (amss) currently on your phone, and the OS image...
the easy way: why don't you try the root method again?

rodrigofd, if you look first post "way 3" is with root method of this forum, "way 4" is unbrick method of this forum, "way 5" is with Omnius server, and "way 6" is with Davinci server.
I think that is impossible, that 4 differents methods fail.
My last theory is battery status, it is possible to update firm with less than 50% battery ?
May be my X10 brick has less than 50% battery and ALL method fail buy this...
Anybody can updated x10 with less than 50% battery ?
Thanks agains.
alucine
P.D: Gracias amigo, desde Madrid
I updated yesterday, using Omnius, with 38% battery. Then I rooted it. No problems here.
when you tried with omnious , did you try to flash with software that was for your version of the x10, ie, did you use x10a software with an x10a or x10a software on a x10i?
my bricked phone came back to life only after flashing with the correct version of the software
instigator008 , sure that with 38% battery ? you are the first my friend
hondaguy, i sure that firmware is for X10i
by bricked you mean that you have a phone with a triangle on screen?
If so, I had the same problem.
what I did was to flash the latest firmware R2. This booted the phone for me.
Grab the flash tool, and download the Telenor R2 version from here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
backup system.sin and userdata.sin from the flash folder, and rename the files that you got in the R2 rar to system.sin and userdata.sin (userdata.sin should be the file that is 5kb)
and then flashed it, this fixed the issue
stop what you are doing and start with the BASICS.
first of all if your phone goes to yellow triangle then it is not bricked so stop worrying
secondly re download an omnius firmware of your choice ( i suggest UK generic r1b0016 as it will prepare you for root )
i tell you to re-download because your old download may be corrupt
extract the file you downloaded so you get the 2 .zip files
try omnius again. large zip in top , small zip in bottom
if that fails then try from different a computer.
What version of Omnius are you using and where did you get the firmware that you are trying to flash through it from?
Also can you add how you "stuffed" it exactly.
Global Generic R1FA016 for Omnius:
http://www.2shared.com/file/rWZ3YeGm/X10i_GLOBAL_GGL_GENERIC_1232_9.html
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0JMUI3I5
R1FA016_APP_SW_RACHAEL_GENERIC_1227_4612_S1_SW_LIVE_AC12_0001_S1_PARTITION in as the application file and
R7A_R1FA016_FSP_X10i_GENERICGLOBAL_GGL_GENERIC_1232_9897_S1_SW_LIVE_AC12_0001_S1_PARTITION_WITH_SPARE as the customised file.
and also have you tried emptying your blob_fs folder and getting SEUS to do a repair with its own files ? rather than with the 2 files you put in

Ok, bad thing what you have there. Seems like part of the erase/write procedure for the recovery image has crashed. What might mean you have a hardware problem (and seus crashed because of that) or some essential area has got corrupt.
First pick omnius and try to backup the Trim Area (TA). Just in case you might need it, and to check it still exists.
Pick Any of the rooting packages, and from step1 move all SIN files EXCEPT loader.sin to another folder.
Then, one by one, go flashing those files, in no particular order, but one by one:
amss first
dsp second
amss_fs
apps_log
boot
fota0
fota1
system
userdata
recovery
If any of them give any kind of error, the rest won't flash. If it always get stucked on recovery, you probably have a bad block on the flash chip, and you should go to a service center, tell them you were updating with SEUS and it crashed. See if you can get a swap.

Yes it might completely fail with less than 50% battery, I myself had one rooting routine where my battery dropped from 60% to less than 10% in a full ROM flashing. So the guy who did it with only 38% just had a lucky run period.
I can't remember where it was posted but I did see a post from somebody who failed flashing with 48% of battery power.
So before starting any recovery attemp I'd suggest you let your X10 load up to a full 100% (when the led turns off) before trying anything else. I also noticed that when loading the battery directly from a power outlet it loads faster than from powering from USB.

My impression is the 50% battery is a recommendation for safety, not a must have to proceed.
Hi guys, this morning my battery in another X10 say 30% left only...
My X10 with the battery of a friend, not work update firmware, pccompanion, SEUS and flashtool.
This afternoon i will go to oficial SE support of my city, i hope that will be revive
while rooting yesterday, i left my phone in flash mode for around 20 mins
and from 80% battery it dropped to 10%
if you try rooting or restoring firmware with only 30% battery you are asking for trouble!
I guess I was lucky then lol.. had around 35-40%

You mean that its bricked while you used SEUS update?
If this is true and you cannot run X10flash or others again you have a nand failure (hw related).
Then please connect SE and let it fixed by them. I know exactly one person with the same problem, they replaced his device directly .

Proximity Sensor Problem

Hi all,
Like many of us, I managed to kill a digitizer on my HTC Aria. Replaced the blasted thing, and now I find my proximity sensor is really sensitive. It's locked in proximity mode (Z-devicetest shows distance 0) in normal conditions.
If I pull off the digitizer, so the prox sensor has a clear path in front of it, it goes out of proximity state and Z-devicetest shows the distance as 1 (and the display works properly during calls, speakerphone works, etc) ...
If I slowly move the tip of my finger towards the prox. sensor, digitizer still removed, Z-devicetest shows it flip from 1 to 0 (out of prox to in prox) as my finger gets within ~2 inches.
So it seems the prox. sensor is working but is too sensitive.
Is this the normal failure mode of a CM3602 prox sensor (read: i dropped it, and not only broke the digizer, but took out the prox sensor too!) .. or, is there some sort of calibration i need to do?
Anyone have a USA source of the CM3602? My usual suppliers digikey and mouser don't carry this component..
*curses self* shoulda listened to my friend who warned me this phone is real easy to bust
There is a guy in the accessories board that is selling parts of his aria. I'd link ya but I don't know how from this app.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Right on.
I didn't want to butcher this poor little POS more so I figured out how to turn the bloody sensor off in software.
append
gsm.proximity.enable=false
to /system/build.prop
or just uncomment the line if you have an editor.. but you can just cat >> build.prop in the shell and type in the line. No editor needed.
Must do this via adb shell with phone in clockwork, otherwise nand is lokt. boo. dev eng hardware doesn't have that problem... stupid consumer devices!
So do you just start Android sdk and then type the following.
append (enter)
gsm.proximity.enable=false (enter)
or is there more to it. I really need to get this disabled.
I tried to do it with ASTRO but it doesnt save my changes.
/system/build.prop is a standard text file.
Remember that stuff in /system is protected, I find the best way to deal with the /system partition is through clockworkmod recovery.
a. Disconnect USB, reboot into clockworkmod recovery
b. Mount the /system partition from the partitions menu
c. Connect USB to a system with adb
d. adb pull /system/build.prop
e. Edit file with your favorite text editor to append gsm.proximity.enable=false
f. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
g. unmount /system from clockworkmod recovery partition menu
h. reboot phone, receive bacon
If you don't have clockworkmod recovery, just use unrevoked to install it
Oh, i should also say CM6 (and maybe all of Froyo images?) do not honor this setting.
Thank you I will try this when I get home..
I may have an issue because if I open build.prop with root explorer it says...
# try to disable proximity sensor in call by default
# gsm.proximity.enable=false
This is located almost at the bottom of the page does this mean I am sol. It is the liberated Rom and I haven't done anything to it.

Just remove the # ...
# gsm.proximity.enable=false
..to
gsm.proximity.enable=false
thank you so much..... you may be oh wait you are the FN man.
ok so if froyo images dont honor this does that mean when we get froyo I shouldn't upgrade.
anyway thank you so much now I can use my phone again, I didn't realize how much my Pure was dated till I had to use it for a few days.
Glad that helped
I didn't find a property in Froyo that disabled the proximity sensor. Maybe there is one, maybe there is not. I went another method..
Code:

Offset 1b48 in /system/lib/hw/sensors.liberty.so defines the device name of the proximity sensor, normally /dev/cm3602.
Hexedit the file to change the name of the device to something that doesn't exist, and you will no longer use the proximity sensor.
Nasty and totally the wrong way to do this, but it worked for me. I suppose I could have dug through source code to check for a flag to disable the sensor, but that takes more time and is far less hacking fun than hex editing a system library If I didn't want to live dangerously I'd stick with the stock ROM lol.
Thanks again I will check back when group comes out if I can't figure it out. I am going to stick with the liberated Rom till we get the official Rom and it gets liberated.

Not a bad idea if you're happy with 2.1 and Sense
Yeah I really like the sense UI so I will stay with 2.1 until a 2.2 with sense is available.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Thanks for this info. Just changed CM3602 to XM3602 and it stopped.
I just upgraded to the new attn1 2.2 Rom with sense and I used the same fix you gave me for the 2.1 Rom and it worked so I guess that fix will work on all sence roms.

I just used hexeditor on my phone ( fr 2.2) and went to the location you noted 00001b48 but nothing there. I went on looking and found it on a few lines starting at 00002090. but which value do I change to get it to disable. If you could look at this for me it would help alot.

I am trying to use these steps to disable the sensor, but I am having issues pulling build.prop.
In the command prompt, I enter in:
adb pull /system/build.prop c:\
And receive:
264 Kb/s (4695 bytes in .012s)
The issue I am having is that I cannot find where adb stores the file on my computer. It's not in the c:\ directory. It's not in platform-tools folder. I did a search, and nothing came up
Any suggests would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm confused - why are you guys disabling the proximity sensor???
Is it because you improperly installed a new screen?
Might as well use duct tape to hold the new screen on and then JB Weld the back case. Seriously guys, do things right and take the screen back off and install it the right way.
kaschenberg,
I dropped my phone, shattering the screen; resulting in a lot of fractures in the glass where the sensor is located. The phone and screen works when I add pressure to the upper right corner, leaving me to believe the sensor is being interrupted by the fractures. I am hopeful, as a temporary fix, that if I can disable the sensor, the phone will work more optimally until I replace the screen.

Cannot resolve symbol "charSequence"

Hi first time here and first time trying to write android code. Ive done java in eclipse earlier. anyway i follow some guide on utube and he writes charSequence. however I dont seem to have that cause it get red, do i need to import some library?
Well if you don't capitalize the first letter it will be a variable name instead of a data type...
CharSequence charSequence = ....
This should work better
But hey, this is a really really basic thing about java and coding in general, always check if you did the capitalization right!

As said Masrepus, CharSequence is a class. And all class begin with a capitalize letter.
all other words are variable (if not keyword like if, switch, case, try, etc...) or function name

Trying to get files from ftp server

Hello all
i'm trying to make a button that connects to an ftp server and download a bunch of files
i have everything figured out , but i'm wondering how to execute it , should i use asynctask ?
i want to also update progress and such ...
the files will be around 60MB so i don't know how long it will take , a few minutes i guess depends on the connection .
is there a more suitable answer than asynctask ?
thanks to all helpers !
I think asynctask would be a nice solution, progress updating is included as well (publishProgress(int progress) and then by overriding onProgressUpdate(...) you can access ui elements)

[Q] Proper way to use SQLite?

So I created an app long ago, and back then to read from a SQLite DB was to use a managed cursor with startManagingCursor().
Now, that is not only depreciated, but also not available in fragments. They say use a Loader, which requires CursorLoader, which apparently generally requires a ContentProvider. But if you look in the Content Provider documentation, it says "You don't need a provider to use an SQLite database if the use is entirely within your own application."
So, I can't use a managed cursor, but then I also shouldn't use a ContentProvider. I don't need to share this data with any other apps. This is a small app, with small databases, only for my app. Do I need to write my own Loader? It seems crazy that managing data in a database has become complex for some pretty basic data storing/managing.
Am I missing something? Is there a better way to get data from an SQLite database on Android? What does everyone else do?
