Can anyone share his update files? - Sony Xperia XZ3 Guides, News, & Discussion

My xz3's unlocked so can't use XC but I want to try Android Q
AFAIK the XC's update firmware file is in the address below
C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\(DATE)\localstorage\US
(DATE) is the time you download an update.
Under this folder there should be some files that is used to update to Android Q.
Does anyone can go to check if there are some useful files to help me to update without XC?
Or use some tricks to get the download link

Or try a Q GSI from Google.

What i want is the android q gesture and sony's official apps.
I've tried gsi beta6 and it works. But no aod and sony's camera makes it unacceptable.

The PIE beta last year was just plain AOSP.
I assume it's the same again.

No quicksetting for GPS, but the location setting is searchable in settings.
For those running it, does it seem to be daily driver material? I plan to flash it later today and test for myself but was just curious if anyone had any feedback on it....

For me it is working nicely. I didn't notice any major bugs up until now. But signal strength is subjectively weaker than before... Maybe missing support for a certain band or so

Probably not since OTAs get checked with Xiaomi's servers before flashing when using the official Updater / recovery. Most likely you'll get an error saying that the ROM is in Beta and you can't flash it

Rollback to Oreo

Hey guys and gals!
Android P is absolutely terrible and I can't believe I haven't checked it before updating. Now I heavily regret it I want to go back to Oreo - could you link me to some information on how to do this on OnePlus 6?
Thank you a lot in advance!

If I wanted iOS I would have bought an iPhone. The recent apps menu is garbage and a huge downgrade, the volume control is also awful. No to mention changes in the UI design that look worse than what we had with KitKat. Pie is a huge downgrade compared to Oreo.

You can simply download the OREO full rom and flash it as a local upgrade or if you have twrp, simply follow the steps to flash after wiping the system (not internal storage). Here is a link (see item number 3) for downgrade at the OP6 website. I have not tried it but should work

Can anyone confirm if this works? I too would like to downgrade. At least for the moment...
CapitalOne app currently doesn't work
Pandora lockscreen controls aren't there
Substratum without root is gone
Silent adjustment of volume bars no longer possible
3.5mm output volume is lower (on streaming apps)
Yes it works. I rollback from H2 os PIE to Oos Oreo 5.1.9 at that time.
Will Twrp get erased?/
If we try local upgrade option to roll back. Will I lose the Twrp?

Leaked Android Q for Pocophone F1?

Apparently a leaked build has surfaced, I didn't tested it and couldn't find any other thread/source about it. It could be a joke until verified.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SLQ885nZXmwSzLcaeA3NB05QckTdzEju/view
What's your thoughts about it?
Where did you find the link? Telegram? Why do not you try to check if it is a joke or no?
Edit: Many users tested it and ROM start well with some bugs ofc.

There is a youtube video overview of build Q beta 5 by Munchy. See if that helps, looks like enhanced PE rom.
"First Look | Poco F1 Android Q Beta 5 | Android Q DP5 Poco F1"
It's a port but much more stable than previous GSIs. And it has everything included in the zip file so you don't have to flash any fixes or anything. It works fine. Not official tho. I guess any official Q build for Poco will be MIUI based.
Hello Sir
VOLTE working??????????
Regards
At the moment I have the port installed and it is my day driver at the moment
I can say that he is very stable I did not crash
everything goes so far for me I miss nothing
I am very satisfied with that
I think it would be cool that you remove the download link because if Munchy wanted it to be here then he might have opened a threat

There isn't VoLTE fixed yet and probably will not be fixed until final release or devs start android Q for Poco. Be patient and use MIUI until the final release. lol

Its based on Erfans Q gsi , 9.6.27 poco vendor and various other fixes. Its stock android not memeui. Its pretty stable so far . Only bug is VOLTE. The devs cant fix it since systemframework cant be decompiled since apk tool has no support for API 29 aka android Q.
Things that are not working with this rom:
-Ir cam (face unlock works but uses the normal front cam so it doesn't work in the dark)
-Volte
Ps. Battery life seems short on this rom
Guys plz help! I can't flash any other room on my phone since i installed this rom, whichever rom i try it gets stuck in bootloop, i have tried everything even tried erasing the memory of my phone but no use,the only tom i can use it is miui. Plz help

Widevine downgrades from L1 to L3

As the title suggests, my Poco X3 NFC (MIUI 12.0.1.0RJGMIXM Android 11) widevine drm downgrades from L1 to L3 overnight. There were no updates and whatsoever. When I opened netflix it downgraded from L1 to L3. I've also updated all security certificates (FIDO and IFAA) but also for some reason I cannot update the Widevine certificate (Error code: 1).

Hello, i download version 12.5.1 and it is solved, just go to the fingerprint settings, select payments with fingerprint and there will be the option to download the certificate, and you will be able to use the rom you want.

Yes as I've seen on reddit threads. They've fixed most bugs including the ones I've encountered and somehow improves performance in some ways. Can I ask if it improved the perfomance and if it has annoying bugs? I'll wait for the update so it is much safer as I don't have any replacement phone if something goes wrong. Thanks for the feedback.

So far I have not had a problem, I even have magisk installed, the only thing that still does not fix is the launcher and the gestures (but if you use the default launcher there is no problem), so I am using the buttons right now.

Question My unofficial PixelExperience builds for veux

I will be using this thread to post my unofficial builds of PE for veux, seeing as the last build was over a month ago.
I won't be making any source code changes, at least for the time being.
20230529 build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m2jS2Gc6zx_OuxwZSeFunNlQ9BHZa6Od/view?usp=sharing (remember to flash vendor_boot and also flash the latest official recovery from the wiki)
Changelog:
First build, has May SP and passes SafetyNet, Magisk untested
Bugs:
Nothing so far, you tell me.
Thanks to jhenrique and rulim34
I understand that it is your first build and that it will have the May patch, but will you continue to maintain it? If so, you will have to try it to see how it goes
