Engineering mode - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Hi, it s there anyway to get inside engineering mode with this phone i looked and tried many things from google and none seem to work. Could anyone helpme.

*#*#7378423#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* not what you're looking for?

What do you mean by Engineering mode?
Is it developers mode!
Sent from my G8141 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Engineering mode in a sony speria device gives you a menu where you can change many things including higher volumen than the one you can get by default and change the impedance settings for headphones of great quality meaning you wont need a headphone amplifier for those.

Dude this device has a Snapdragon chipset. You can get engineering mode only on Mediatek devices like XA series

None of them worked
I 've tried many things but still nothing

Dude, this Engineering Mode is only for Mediatek devices. This phone uses SNAPDRAGON , not MEDIATEK. Why can't you people just read what is already written in the thread? Someone already told you this two posts above. You CANNOT enable this mode on this device, because it DOES NOT EXIST.

[Q] UART Access

[Posting in correct forum]
I was wondering if I can use the same headphone hack on the G2X to access UART as was published for the Atrix?
Furthermore, is it the same USB pinout to access NVFlash?
Thanks!

For your first question, no way to know but to try I don't see that it SHOULD cause any harm (but it's still at your own risk ).
For the second question, I don't see that it's relevant. We have a working NVFlash utility. Am I missing something else that you're wanting?

I actually don't have a G2X right now. I am looking to buy one, but only if I can get early UART messages since I plan on heavily modifying the kernel to the point where it will fail early in the beginning. Is there any other way to get early kernel messages from the device other than UART?
So NVFlash will work with just a regular micro USB cable? If that's the case, I'm happy
You can find the P999 (G2x) Service Manual at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037120
There is a system block diagram on page 37 that shows UART at the USB. It appears that the UART goes to the Qualcomm chip and not directly to the CPU, but I don't know if that's fine or not.
Page 257 tells us the MicroUSB IC is:
MAX14526DEEWP MUIC , ; , IC, Analog Multiplexer CSP
R/TP 20P MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS INC.

So if you can find information on that chip you can get to its UART.

For that I would ask faux123, morfic, or krylon. They probably have the most kernel development experience for the G2x right now (aside from TeamDouche anyway )
Edit: Missed the second half. Yup, nvflash works with stock USB cables. It's used commonly to directly flash the custom CWM recovery bootloader rather than use the update.zip method.

I looked through the service manual, thanks for the pointer! I couldn't find a datasheet for the MAX14526DEEWP, but I found the driver code in the kernel source published by LG.
It looks like writing '6' to /proc/driver/hmuic will turn on UART debugging through the USB port on the device. I'm still not sure what the pinout is for RX/TX, that'll require some further digging. Reference: kernel/drivers/star/star_muic.c:585
There's one more piece that I'm unsure of. It's the DP3T switch listed on page 181 of the service manual. I think MDM_UART_SW needs to be 0 and AP20_UART_SW needs to be 1 to pass the UART data from the processor to the MUIC. The AP20 GPIO is exposed in the code as STAR_AP20_UART_SW in kernel/arch/arm/mach-tegra/include/star_pinmux_definition.h
So, in theory, if I initialize the AP20_UART_SW GPIO correctly, and initialize the MUIC driver to "developer" mode early enough, I should get serial output directly from the Tegra
It appears, based on the news in this thread, that the headphone jack also does have some sort of data connection happening.

Hmm, yes it does. I'm guessing it's not UART, but rather some protocol they've defined and are using the mic input to transmit data to their app.

Thanks for this insightful info. But the thing is I am not dev unlocked and don't even know how to. Will the new Chevron unlock work?
I have read a little bit about dev unlocks, but still confused about the concept. Will you clarify the procedure right from the easiest way to Dev unlock and finally installing sound enhancer?
Btw, why can't any developer make a similar app like sound enhancer and put it in market? I am ready to pay for it and many more will also be willing. That's what market is for!
Is there HTC enhancer xap available as a standalone app? And, can it be deployed after Chevron dev unlock. I am on unlocked at&t Samsung focus with official mango in India.
I am asking this because I believe we can't sideload apps unless we are dev unlocked. I also believe we cannot change registry values unless we are dev unlocked?
I am having an Android phone as well. Once I am able to deploy this xap successfully on my Samsung focus, I am gonna sale my Android.
Kindly guide me?
Cant get sound enhancer to show, or any other HTC app for that matter...
Could someone be so kind and upload the xap to xda?

I have both HD7 and Dell Venue Pro, unlocking them is different than the Focus,
Here is the link how to unlock the focus, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
And I'm sure in its Forum you will find a way how to modify the registery and proceed,
To make an application like this you will need a licence from SRS Laps Co.
I think it is difficult to find official app to do this, try to unlock your phone and sideload the xap.
good luck
I'm having a HTC 7 Mozart & I live in Malaysia but I still can't find the HTC Sound Enhancer on the Marketplace eventhough i changed my region. I tried many methods including XSI's xap. file & others. Are they any other solutions?

that's it
Just out of curiousity, has anyone tested deploying this enhancer on Samsung Omnia 7 or Focus?
It's probably not actually the audio chip, it's the driver. The chip might even be the same, but without the driver interface the app can't actually control the chip's behavior.
@mrkillah: I guarantee you it won't work. I mean, you're welcome to try, but the app isn't going to be able to do anything. You guys are asking if installing the nVidia Control Panel on a Windows box that doesn't have any nVidia display drivers will let you adjust anti-aliasing. No, it won't - computers don't work that way. The Sound Enhancer app isn't magical - it needs to talk to a system component that is only present on HTC phones before it can do anything for you.

Can the OnePlus One play audio using microUSB port?

As title states, is it possible instead to use the lineout to plug into my car audio?
That depends on how your car plays audio from the device. Many cars with microUsb either expect a mountable external hard drive (no current Android phone will support that mode) or access the phone through MTP mode to find and play audio files. There are other methods too however (like USB sound card - but I'm not sure that works across all phones and drivers)
I have been able to plug in all of my Android phones from the headphone jack to the stereo system with an aux cable, so this won't be any different.

Wow, brilliant indeed. The thing is, if you could use the USB port, you could control the resources from an external player. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

The thing is that none of the Android phones are able to work as external hard drive so none of the audioplayers I know would recognize oneplus one to control it. But my alpine receiver is able to control it connected via Bluetooth.

That's not true, see my #2 post. There are many cars supporting MTP mode. As for usb soundcards;
I don't own a USB-soundcard so I can't test if the standard kernel supports such a mode. But if not, it should not be terribly hard to make a custom kernel load the necessary drivers if they exist.

If you claim that no car-radio (you know of) is capable of accessing/handling the OPO that implicitely means that you either didn't know/forgot about MTP or thought it unusuable for the OnePlus.

Believe it depends on the WiFi module.
There has to be made changes i read somewhere, but dont think its impossible.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Snapdragon G930F (MT6580)
Kernel: 3.10.72
Android: Marshmallow 6.0.1 (possibly partially unlocked)
I got the phone from outside seller, the problem I am having is :
* Battery drain out in 4-6 hours even without any use
* Not getting new updates
* I see malware com.ovs.themes.slicers (Kiss me, beach kiss) and not able to remove it since not able to get it full rooted (McAfee detect it but not able to remove it)
* GPS not working even its enabled.
I want to root the device or flash with BTU rom but not able to get into Odin mode every-time I tried to get to Download Mode(Odin mode) it take me to "Factory Mode", I tried all way to get into download mode but none helped.
* Key combination: Vol - + Home+ Pwr
* Adb reboot download
* Restart phone and hold Vol - + home
Note: using Vol+ I can get into recovery mode but not download mode
I just wanted to mention, its working fine for Call with any Carrier.
Please help!!

The G930F is the international version with the Exynos and not the Snapdragon, which one do you have?
You bought a FAKE S7. It will never be compatible with odin and S7 firmwares.
Yep its a fake, the mt6580 is a mediatek processor most commonly found in cheap Chinese devices.

Thank you so much Travis Bickle, kykint, gsmyth for quick response
@travis it says Snapdragon
So looks like I got cheated by the guy and now stuck with this Chinese clone of S7.
Is there anyway I can root it and get rid of that Factory Mode and the adware?? As rest of the phone is really amazing, quality of picture, sound/video quality, fast charging and performance except the battery life.
So if I can remove the adware and get it rooted the phone is still usable for few years.
Please suggest.!!

One thing I could suggest is to disable a few apps from your phone. Check for the presence of SystemLocker and GoogleVending - that might account for most of the malware showing up especially when wifi is enabled.

You're welcome! There might be a few more depending on the ROM used. If you could give me the boot.prop and/or system folder I might try on coming up with a fix.
Oh and out of curiosity, can you take a pic or two of the phone in question? Usually with fakes they come with a slightly smaller screen hence the borders and/or thicker bezels. That's one tipoff with a fake Samsung device compared to the real thing.

Hard to tell from those pics, just turn it on and see if it has a thick black bezel around the screen like this one on the right, if it does then its a fake https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AzKnmffM2K4/maxresdefault.jpg

Do any of you all know anything about this one?
They claim it to have a "real" 820 Snap in it.
...I think at best case, a octa MTK and of course everything will be plastic.
G930f have sd820?
Enviado desde mi E6603 mediante Tapatalk
The real Samsung g930 phones have 820 (or Exynos in variants), The site I posted is a clone phone, that claims to have the real 820 snap processor in it. I am wondering how/if it can be true????
There are many ways to distinguish from a fake to a real s7, just youtube it.
- The fingerprint scanner on the fake one works with any fingers
- I bet the antutu score on the fake will be significantly lower than the real due to cheap outdated hardware
- battery, as you already know, is terrible on the fake
- No heart rate monitor on the fake, even if there are, it will just read random fake numbers
- The print on the box and manual of the fake are significantly lower than the real in terms of quality print, and even content are not the same.
- The fake one will display false specs on every monitor software such as 4.00GB ram (when it actually has like 512MB or something stupid like that) and snapdragon CPU when it actually has a MediaTek chinese cpu

Looks like we have a slightly different device then; mine had the microphone pinhole on the other side. And yeah, I am still looking for that damn Z6U030HA_V101En firmware. Haven't heard from anyone with the same ROM so far. :/
Friends,
Finally, I was able to get details for the phone its HDC S7 which is clone of Samsung S7, I was able to locate ROM for it on needrom and able to flash it.
Now the problem that I found is the phone doesn't connect to T mobile 4G LTE network, its only showing 2G and that is causing the GPS issue.
I am able to see AT&T 3G so looks its only Tmobile that has issue with this phone, I tried to add network ID myself but that didnt helped. Do anyone know if there is working solution for HDC S7 4G LTE network issue? Or suggestion on any alternative ROM for HDC S7 G930?
Hi, I have the same phone and I need the firmware because I flashed a wrong one. Can you give me a backup firmware from this device? Thanks
