[Solved] - plz close thread! Thanks! - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PLEASE CLOSE THREAD - THANKS!
I'M WILLING TO PAY $50 TO THE PERSON WHO'LL FIX IT
The phone was bought in bootloader unlocked status... so DRM keys were lost permanently....
The main issue: The wifi is not working, when turned on, it says "turning on" and It remains in that state, frozen and forever, and it never change.. I can't tick It back to off... also, the Wifi Mac Address is Unavailable in Android 5.1.1 But when I updated to 6.0 it changed to 22:00:00:00:00:00 and the problem persist.. same for the bluetooth, Mac Address unavailable, and cannot turn it on.
I did relock the bootloader in Flashtool, and I repaired It in Pc Companion, but nothing has changed. I did unlock again, and installed custom kernel, rooted, and installed Drmrestore, and same nothing worked!
I did a full wipe, I flashed in flashtool, then I did update in PC Companion, and now it's on Android 6.0, and nothing changed...
I've tried several stock rom versions, and still the same. Now, i'm currently in Android 6.0
Anyone has any advanced knowledge in that matter and if it's possible to be fixed/repaired/restored...etc, maybe something was lost in TA partition that affected the wifi and bluetooth functionality, maybe a missing folder in the system that could only be restored by doing some advanced programming...etc
some members in here told me it might be a hardware issue (wifi module...etc) i don't know, I would like to try again if there is another chance to fix it, so i'm not giving up YET!
anyone can PM me or leave a comment below. I'd appreciate your contributions and help.
PHONE SOLD OUT THIS MORNING Thanks to all.
below I attached some pictures and logcat...

Did you have any success upon relocking and flashing again? Did you try a Marshmallow build?
If this does not help the next option would be to flash an image (in unlocked state) without the initial setup included to bypass it.

It sounds to me the phone has MyXperia or find my Xperia activated on the phone.. If so, flashing a custom rom, or kernel, unkocking or locking bootloadet etc. Won't do you any good

How did you re-lock the BL without the original BL files? Funny how it didnt brick it? And i thought there isnt a backup tool available yet... anyway, i would hunt that seller down and demand for a refund.

Flashtool can relock without the original TA partition, it just won't restore original functionality.

If it is still broken after full wipe, maybe it's hardware issue...
There should be some error or warning in logs.
Code:
adb shell logcat -d > logcat.txt
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
will save logs (run it after restart)

Once u unlocked bootloader, did you flash drm keys back to the device?

[Solved] [DEV] Xperia L Fast Dormancy Issue

Please for any Dev's who want to take a time for this phone, disable the Fast Dormancy in default or make a setting for enable and disable it...
because, this is the battery drainer based on those

I try to add ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 in build.prop but it's nothing changes, it just works in sgs2..
and another method use fast dormancy toggle in playstore, but can't use it for compatibility issue..
maybe some dev's here want to help for it,,because all of system now is stable,just this issue is very frustating me..and another people too cause of battery drainer..

I tried the app but it says that "your device is not supported".
I may try later to reproduce the tutorial, but it is quite long and evolved and it may be very device specific. So I am not sure I can follow it successfully.
This is a major bug in my point of view. We should be loud about it so that Sony step in and try to fix it.
---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
A suggestion:
If you want to check whether your device has this bug try "Wakelock Detector" from Play Store (its a free app). After installing the app go into settings and select "Advanced mode". If you device is affected it should show "Device (or something like this, my app is in Portuguese so I am tying to translate back into English)" in th top spots (in my case it is in the top by a large margin). Clicking in this entries to show the details you'll see that "Data dormancy" is the major reason.
Also note that your device should stay most of the time Awake instead of being in Deep Sleep mode.
Finally, this problem only affects devices if you operator network does not support data dormancy. This seems case of the Vivo network in Barzil, at least where I live. If your operator supports data dormancy it is then a good thing, as it helps to save battery.

There is a long tutorial there on how to manually modify the fast dormancy parameters. But you will need to unlock your bootloader first because you need to write to /system. Mine is not unlocked yet, I still creating courage to do it. I'll probably do it to better investigate this bug.

Yes, I meant something along those lines, I believe that that post is the origin of the idea described in the Samsung section.
By doing some more research I came across to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40606899&postcount=38 that suggest to use
ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy=false
in build.prop. It is for Xperia T, but at least it is a Sony device.
Can you try as your bootloader is already unlocked?

Weird. It did work for me. I changed the configuration using Build Prop Editor , rebooted and it is working right now. No "Data Dormancy" wakes anymore. Try using this app. Note that it did work even in a locked bootloader (I haven't unlocked mine).
Obs: I tried before from the command line using setprop and it didn't work, so success may depend on how you try to edit the option.

Great you solved the issue.
It feels great to have the phone eating only 1.5-2% of the battery an hour after this change (from 6% before).
Thank your for the tutorial too. I will help other people.

Didn't worked for me also. After restart there is data dormancy wakeup again.
Xperia M2, 4.3 rooted.
I don't know if i missed something, installed build prop editor, make the changes and restarted.
The thread asks for busybox installed, i don't have busybox and i don't know if its important.
EDIT: After installed busybox, the above stayed on reboot ok.
Because fast dormancy wakelock apperared after ~12 hours after a reboot, i will wait some hours to check if it appeares again. Thank you.

[Q] Can someone give me their backed up TA File? And other questions

Hi, I'm in complete meltdown today. I didn't do thorough research and unlocked bootloader on my Z3. Now I regret it.
I heard you could restore the DRM files by mounting the TA files back onto the phone. Can someone give me their backed up TA files so that I can restore DRM features on my phone? I cried this morning because of my ignorance.
If not, can someone help me add "CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 Recovery" on my phone? I can't seem to load "Advance Stock Kernel with CWM Recovery v01 (FW: 23.0.A.2.93)" onto my phone. The program used to load it won't just make it happen.
I think I can handle the rest after that, but I need some suggestions.
Will using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
brick my phone? It won't if I follow the steps correctly, right?
Other than that, can someone find me a PERFECT alternative for Music ID?
Is there also any way to restore "Sony Entertainment Media?"
How about fixing "Audio Quality and Volume Enhancements?"
Finally, will "PS4 Remote Play" still be broken?
I tried emailing [email protected] with the following message:
Hi, is there a way to reload lost DRM keys on a locked bootloader on
my Z3 phone?
Here's the story:
I didn't backup the TA partition on my phone and I unlocked bootloader
which made me lose the DRM files.
I'm in the process of relocking my phone. After relocking my phone,
can I send my phone to your repair center so that you guys can re-add
the DRM files?
From my understanding, you could delete the old partition and add a
new partition into my phone that has the DRM files, correct?
I hope to get a reply soon. Thanks.

What do you think of my letter to them? Can they help me restore the DRM files even though they are forever lost? They gotta have a set of DRM keys at the repair center!

I am sure someone could share it with you, but you will be a fool to restore it. The TA partition is individual. If you restore one from another phone you will permanently, 100%, completely hard brick your phone. Do not even think about doing it.

No, they will not help. It well documented that unlocking the boot loses functionality, why would they restore it for you when you admit to unlocking and throwing away your warranty? It is actuall 100% impossible to restore the keys after unlocking unless you took a backup prior to unlocking.
You can however, do a search for restoring DRM functionality, that may help you.
I think you have to try to software it by sony companion (re-instal the frimware). if you cant then try to lock your bootloader and try again to frimware it by sony companion
gregbradley, I followed all the instructions on the internet and I can't get it to install CWM recovery. Maybe later on after work (8PM EST -5 GMT) you can do teamviewer with me? Or am I being unreasonable here?
As for Music ID, please give me the alternative you prefer the most.
Sony Entertainment Media shows as "unavailable" on my phone. Basically, unlocking bootloader killed it.
As for "Audio Quality and Volume Enhancements," audio quality has been degraded because of unlocking bootloader. I was wondering if there's a software or app out there that fixes it.
As for "PS4 Remote Play", any apps out there that remotely connects to the PS4?

You cannot restore your specific DRM keys, those are gone forever, but this will restore the functionality you've lost so it's as good as having them back.

Which device do you actually have (D6603 etc)
You should now flash a FTF and exclude system (and kernel if you have just flashed a custom kernel)
How did you install CMW? was it via flashing the doomkernel? That is for D6603 only
Yes, I own D6603, the Z3, not the compact or other variants.
I'm re-installing the OS. Let's see what happens.

Retrieving photos when locked out of a Galaxy S6!

I am helping a person try and retrieve photos from a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is stock at the lock screen. The finger print scan is not working and they do not know there back up password. I researched two ways to get around this.
1. Entering in the google account user name and password
2. Signing into Find My Mobile with the samsung account information and unlocking the phone
If both of these options fail due to the owner not remembering there above credentials is there any other way to retrieve photos. How about putting the phone in dfu mode and using a program on a computer to copy photos from the internal storage. Is something like this possible? Appreciate any help on this issue.
Maybe flash a stock ROM with Odin?
That way all the data stays in tact and it may remove lock screen.
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Premium HD app
Thanks for the quick response. The lady is paranoid about losing her photos! Therefore flashing with Odin Stock Rom will not remove any data from the phone. Do you have instructions or a link on how to do this.
I also am able to sign into her google account through the web browser, but when I use those credentials to try and unlock the Galaxy S6 it says that the user name or email is wrong. Thanks

Sounds like she could be learning a hard lesson. Backup passwords, knowing what accounts you used to setup, photo backups all exist for a reason.

I totally agree with your assessment! I don't understand how I can log into her Gmail account via the web and then when I enter the same information at the Galaxy S6 Unlock via Google it does not work. Could this have something to do with not being connected to the internet. It is saying that 4G LTE is connected. Doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to WiFi without unlocking home screen.
If this was my phone I would have no trouble trying to flash the Odin stock Rom, but do not want to lose her info incase someone else can retrieve it. Does flashing the Odin stock ROM wipe everything on the phone or does it retain photos and other information. Thanks
I'm in this same situation. Is there anyway to retrieve the pictures? Flashing with Odin does not wipe the phone?
Wasn't life easier when we had removable sd cards...?
Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.
Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?
My G920F stuck on bootloop because of fail on rooting and I was afraid of losing all my photos. First I flashed TWRP with Odin, booted to recovery mode and pulled photos and videos out with adb. Then I flashed stock firmware with Odin and made a factory reset (not mandatory). Everything is working fine now.

I suppose doing this you had USB debugging ENABLED before the boot-fail? Or does it turn on USB debug when flashing TWRP?

Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.
Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?

Agree WahFai, much simpeler with SD-card! So you think flashing system partition will do the trick. I'll go read up on that, how to flash the system partition. In my case, afaik, the fingerprint reader did not break. The system failed accepting the unlock code from one day to another and she does not remember the backup code for the reader. Thanks for your reply!
All she wants are the pictures on the phone. She recently got a baby, all the pictures of the delivery are on the phone, so you sense the urgency to not loose the pictures. She'll still feel the effects 18 years from now.
By the way: does flashing the stock rom with odin void the warranty? Because the phone is still on warranty...
Flashing a stock rom via odin will not trip knox but flashing a custom recovery will.
Thanks for clearing that out for me.

EDIT:
So I'm downloading the stock firmware right now. Still a question: I'm not sure which firmware is on the phone right now. Is it a problem if I flash a newer, say the newest available, stock firmware on the phone?
Go on samsung kies and back up the phone and the photos come up

The phone is locked out, it does not show up on Kies. Actually it does show, but says its locked.
Ok, I now flashed the stock ROM again. It still comes back on the locked screen. HELP!!

At this point, it sounds like flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) is your only option.

Hey dsimpe, I am willing to try this option, since I cannot acces de mediafiles after flashing the stock ROM. Can you confirm this will trip Knox? And I installed ADB Studio. I cannot find a simple explanation on how to pull de media with adb. Can you help me please?

I just saw your post Sevael. I recon this is my only option now. I need to figure this out to pull the media, after that I can do a factory reset or whatever, but I never used ADB before. Thanks for your reply.

Check droidviews article of "How to Push and Pull Files on Android using the ADB commands".
I'm pretty sure that knox will be tripped.
Also go to my profile and check thread that I've started. I explain there how I did it.
If you've any problems post here or pm me.
I now found the instructions on how to pull files with ADB. I connected the phone to my pc and checked if the device was recognized. This was not the case. Does this mean, that the USB debugging was not enabled?
Edit: Thanks dsimpe. Saw the post too late again. Note to self: need to refresh page before making a reply... I'll go check out your posts. Thanks again.

My device wasn't recognized either before I flashed TWRP with Odin and I booted to recovery mode.
Ok, tnx dsimpe. I guess USB debugging must have been turned on before also on the phone? And can you confirm knox will be tripped?

HTC U11 OS 3.34.401.1 - Boot issue

Hey guys,
My device doesn't want to boot in the right way.
I've flashed RUU with the same version as before to see if this is the solution but nothing changed.
It boots till the welcome assist, like it was a new phone. That's okay but I can't get further this point.
It wants me to turn WLAN on and connect it. But there is no possibility to turn WLAN on?
I think it's because my memory is crypted and can only be encrypted by connecting with my google account. Is there a way to delete that cryption on my memory?
Or do you guys know how to activate WLAN with cmd or somehting like that?
I need really help here, I don't know what I can do any further. Do you guys think TWRP should be an option?
Thanks in advance!

I can turn on to allow apps to scan for wifi. Then press the butto to go back and the phone turns black except the watch upper right and the lock upper left side.
Then after 2 minutes it stays at either at the welcome screen or just back at the screen I've sent to you.
I've had also one time the message that the applikation android settings crashed and if I want to sent the report to HTC. But this was just one time.
I still think it's a software issue. But it has to be outside the firmware. Maybe my bootloader is not working correctly. What do you think about that?
Wow thats a good one,,, have you tried various other ruu that are compatable with your phone? What is the ruu version you tried
? oreo? nougot?

I do not have tried other versions cause I wasn't sure which ones are matching my phone. I'm downloading this version as OTA right know with R1 special.
Just to give OTA update a try and maybe that R1 fixes my problem.

Yes I first have to connect to laptop. I'm at work and don't know what they think when I'm rooting my phone at work. But so what
I'll give it a try.
Yes I know it's locked but I have nothing against an unlock. Just did it not cause everythin was working and I was really okay with the official software.
If you can give me an advise how to unlock I can do. No problem.

If you were unlocked and rooted you could try to downgrade to oreo or nougat, at this point with it being locked thats impossible. Hopefully someone else has more knowledge than me and can give you better advise. Maybe keep trying different ruus.

[Solved]Need help with a locked device

Hello! My device wifi just stopped turning on, and I did reset networking config but that didn't solve the problem, so I reset It. Now I have a device with no networking at all, and now it's also locked because I didn't sign out of my xiaomi account. I wanted to unlock the device and try another rom to see if that solves the problem, but I can't do that since I need first activate the device.
About the device:
-No root
-No developer options enabled
-Wifi doesn't toggle on
-Sim card is not recognized (already tried other ones, in both slots)
-Xiaomi assistance doesn't want to help me at all (neither the seller btw)
I hope you guys could help me. I'm very frustrated because it's a recent new phone :c

But before messing with this lock, I tried to test wifi but without success...

By EDL, I mean a kind of brute force to flash ROM. Used mainly when hard bricked. As you don't have unlock permission you have to use this method to flash Factory ROM. You can find Instructions in YouTube videos for "Redmi Note 6 pro EDL flashing guide Test point method"

I tried the EDL test points, but the device doesn't vibrate and turn on :c
EDIT: I was doing it wrong, I need firstly to connect the pins, and juts then connect the USB cable. I was doing the opposite hahaha
Windows Device Manager does recognize it, but Mi Flash still doesn't recognize the device on refresh, giving the error "length cannot be less than zero". I'm doing some search.

Actually, after flashing a new rom, after 12h the wifi issue returned, and I used this tool: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
I used the option to flash an official rom, followed the app steps, and after the download finished, it couldn't be installed because of a bug So I repeated the steps, but instead of downloading again, i used the already downloaded rom (it is in the app installation folder). Then, success! Has been 2 days with no problem
About the auth itself, even by using EDL, after the reboot, I was prompted again by the mi account... So if you don't have the account, I'm afraid I can't help you... :c
I used this tutorial for the EDL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WfOprRVQww
