802SO get back NFC function work on Android 11 (if your phone has beed upgrade to global (android 11) ROM & lost NFC function) - Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Everybody,
(Thanks for phyxia's post information: flash A11 Au to get NFC work)
I'd try to newflasher all about "au" ROM, because phyxia's information not enough for me!!
My phone is 802SO, and I'd newflasher to global ROM (android 11).
But all function work fine, except NFC.
NFC function was important for me, so I'd try to many more methord to get back NFC work.
Including downgrad to android 9 & 10, and newflasher more other model's ROM, but all fail.
Because the NFC SW-ver (software version) is "0x12 0x41 0x16" (android 11), not same as "0x12 0x01 0x12" (android 10).
I think the NFC SW build in bootloader, so downgrad to andoird 10 or 9, the SW not change (older bootloader can't replace newer).
So, if you want to get NFC function back & don't need VoLTE, just only two way:
1. Waiting for SoftBank ROM upgrade to Android 11. (but wait... wait... wait.................)
2. Newflasher "SOV40_KDDI JP_55.2.C.3.21-R9C_A11" ROM, it's android 11.
I'd try to test NFC, it work fine~
So, my xperia 1 model number "802SO" change to "SOV40".
Hope this post can help someone need NFC function.
When you newflasher finished, into engineer mode to check NFC function & test read tag -->
*#*#7378423#*#* --> Service tests --> NFC --> NFC Diag Test

It can be used with docomo's products as well as au's. The reason for this is simple. Japanese models include a FeliCa (NFC Type F) module inside the Vendor.
The global version is NFC-only, so NFC will not work on the Japanese model, which also uses FeliCa.

installing gapps on Huawei G730-T00?

I can't find much information on Huawei G730 outside Chinese forums. This phone runs on android 4.2.2 with no gapps. I managed to root the phone with a Chinese tool on PC (I am not endorsing this tool). towelroot apk didn't work for me
I tried different ways to install gapps, initially I installed google play store and google service framework from Huawei market. It worked with one exception, not syncing contacts
Then I tried to flash different versions of gapps (from goo.im and other sources) for 4.2 and all I got was google service framework crashing. With some gapps packages I don't even see the apk after flashing. The custom recovery (CWM and TWRP) does not seem to work very well and I noticed mounting failures (the flashing can succeed when the OS can't even mount the filesystem?)
Also I tried to put google offical apks from apkmirror into /system/apps and Google Service Framework still crashes (again I tried different apks). Any thoughts on how to get gapps to work on the MTK 4.2.2 phone (MT6582M)? In China Google services are completely censored so there's very little interest on Chinese forums to get gapps working on this phone (China Mobile version)
Key Specifications/Special Features:
1) Brand and model: Huawei G730-T00
2) Operating system: Android 4.2.2
3) CPU: MT6582M Quad Core 1.3GHz
4) RAM: 1GB 5) ROM: 4GB, about 2GB available
6) SIM card quantity: dual SIM
7) Camera: dual cameras
8) Connectivity: 1 x SIM slot, 1 x micro SIM slot, USB 2.0, earphone 3.5mm, TF card (micro SD card) slot
9) Supports G-sensor, proximity sensor, light sensor
10) GPS: supported, also supports AGPS
11) Material: plastic
12) Network mode:
Dual SIM/dual bands network:
1) Network type: TD-SCDMA and GSM network
2) Band (3G): TD-SCDMA B34 (2010-2025MHz)/B39 (1880-1920MHz); band (2G): GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3) Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g/n wireless internet
4) Bluetooth: V4.0
As you can see, there's practically no support for any G730 version in this forum. I've been trying to unlock the bootloader of my G730-U251 and install custom recovery to no avail. Though I've rooted my phone easily with Framaroot, and my version fully supports Google. Guess we just can't have everything from Huawei...

VOLTE I'm frustrated :(

To use volte in unreleased countries where Sony has not released the product, unlock and magisk must be used regardless of firmware.
There is no menu to use VOLTE, but you can force it by modifying the build prop. After that, you can open the Qualcomm Diagnostic Port (qpst, EFS Explorer) and replace the EFS file to use VOLTE.
Unlike xperia 1&5, the corresponding adb shell-su (setprop sys.usb.config rndis,eng_mode,adb) does not work on xperia 1 ii. I'm frustrated. Is the build prop USB item wrong? Does anyone know of a command to activate the Qualcomm Diagnostic Port? :crying:

It's way more easy. Just flash the right Firmware and it will Work on Stock. I had to use the EU one since EU3 didn't gave me VoLTE or WiFi Calling on My Dual SIM UK/German Model. And it isn't working with GSIs btw. Since SONY implented that stuff differently to what i know. Xiaomi and LG Devices got forced by Me with only build.prop Mods.
Only requirement besides the Firmware will be a Carrier that does also Support it. More isn't needed...

Unlock Bootloader on Android 8/9 (Testpoints, DC Phoenix) [NOT FREE]

Hello,
I just found a way to unlock your bootloader on Android 8 (and possibly 9). This method may also work on other phones if they were released with pre June 2018 Android 8 (where the patch for this "exploit" was release as a Android security patch). Just make sure to use the appropriate versions for your phone (also search for a proper board software for your phone)
If your phone is on Android 8 with a security patch lower than June 2018 or on Android 7, you can just buy 4 credits here, then follow this tutorial.
If you are on a higher security patch than June 2018 (also called GPU Turbo in changelogs by Huawei) or on Android 9 (untested), follow the following steps:
Requirements
DC Phoenix (72h timed license costs 19€)
Accessible testpoints (phone needs to be opened)
Step 1:
Write down your IMEI(s), SN, MAC addresses and the current version you are on (e.g. 8.0.0.385C432)
Step 2:
Buy DC Phoenix and install it
Step 3:
Just follow steps 1 - 4 from this tutorial. If you are having trouble enabling manufacturer mode in step 4 because the rom is in chinese, follow this video which shows where to click. HCU will also output the bootloader code in the log, which you should write down.
Step 4:
Now we are doing things a bit differently than in the linked tutorial above: In DC Phoenix click on "Download files" and search for the Android version you had before downgrading to the chinese Android 7 testrom (e.g. 8.0.0.385C432). If you can't find the same one, use a higher one (focus in the 385 part which is the build, also called B385. also make sure the C number matches because that is the region). You should be able to find the main update.app and one customization update.app file. If you have problems with DC Phoenix because it does not enter upgrade mode, put it there manually (described in step 1 here). Your phone should now boot up. To a working android 8 version. If it boots with a google/android logo and your settings says something like "0QT6" for the version, you need to go to to androidhost.ru and search for your phone. It should yield a few results, just pick the same version (or a higher) you flashed with DC Phoenix (e.g. for 8.0.0.385C432 it's this one). There will be a document detailing how to install it via DLOAD (use force upgrade method). After that, your C numer should be fine and updates can be installed (you can update to android 9, then unlock you bootloader via the code from HCU and then install a custom rom)
That's it basically.

Flashing a custom Android on a no-name tablet / phablet

Hi,
I just bought a cheap no-name phablet (tablet with SIM card slot) on eBay (used, I want to use it for my doorbell system). It has an Android 8.1.0 on it and the settings say it's a model "K4", serial number
Code:
0123456789ABCDEF
(which perplexed me a bit in the first place), the boot screen says "MediaTek" which I found out seems to be the CPU's manufacturer. Build number is
Code:
O11019 test-keys
and kernel version is
Code:
3.18.79
. The ebay article said the tablet manufacturer was Padgene which I couldn't find any information about (except for this Amazon article).
Now I somehow fear (for the serial number alone) that this is some kind of weird Chinese Android ROM no one knows what it really does in background. And so, I want to flash a custom ROM on the tablet.
Now my questions:
1. How is it possible to find out the real hardware manufacturer to find out which Android ROM I would need?
2. Are there even custom Android ROMs out there for those Chinese no-name tablets at all?
3. How do I flash it, should I use TWRP for it or choose a different way?
Thanks in advance, taiBsu
Not the manufacturer is of any interest, but device's hardware.
For MTK devices a tool called Mediatek Auto TWRP Porter exists:

Our Mediatek Auto TWRP porter has received a Beta update to v1.7. This tool enables you easily port TWRP custom

General TB132FU - FAQ and How to's

Read carefully:​This is a dedicated post for general questions only. If you need technical support about flashing or restoring your device, please use the general topic for TB132FU. Please search for your question below before asking.​​NEW: How to restore the lost Serial Number (on the second response)
How to flash Official global rom​Did my work help you? Be free to buy me a coffee. PayPal me at @alsbvg​
FAQ:
Why so many versions of TB132FU and why so much confusion about the Android system, updates, etc?​
There are currently 3 systems available for the tablet known as TB132FU and is really important to find which one you have.
Fake Global version - Modified Android 12
Official International version - Official Android 12 or latest by Lenovo international
Chinese version - Zui 14 based on Android 12 or latest by Lenovo China
But why so many versions then? The Chinese model is apparently cheaper than the international version, so Chinese sellers are selling online the Chinese model with a modified android version to look like the international version.
How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the seller:​If you purchased your tablet online from china like on Aliexpress or from a seller that sells items from china, you most likely have the “Fake” Global version.
If you purchased your tablet on Lenovos’s website or a certified local or national seller in your country, you most likely have the International version. This version usually costs more.
If you purchased from china or anywhere else, but your tablet has a Chinese interface, you have the Chinese version running ZUI 14 or latest.
How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the system version:​To make sure which one you have you can also do the following:
On your tablet go to SETTINGS > ABOUT DEVICE > and find your system version.
If it starts with TB132FU_S3 you have the Chinese version running an unofficial android version. The number S3 confirms it’s a modified OS. You will never get any updates.
If it says TB132FU_S0 you have the official international version. This is the official version, so you already have the best compatible system for your tablet. You will get official updates.
If you open the settings and see on the About device menu the system version ZUI, well you have the chinese official device and system.
Can I convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?​The answer currently is no. Why? To keep it short: There is a code inside your tablet saying “This is the Chinese tablet” and because of this code you can't install the international android system. Maybe in the future, someone from the community will be able to find that code and change it so the tablet thinks it is the international version.
Can I convert my Official Lenovo-bought TB132FU to the Chinese version to use ZUI?​Same as the answer above. We need to find the code and how to modify it first.
Can I use Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software to convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?​No. You will brick your device if you try to update your system using this tool.
What are the differences between the Chinese TB132FU and the International version?​Chinese version with ZUI 14
Software: It comes with an Android flavor called ZUI currently based on android 12. Updates will be available.
System languages: English and Chinese only.
Full support for super fast charging with the original charger. Full charge in less than 90 minutes in most cases.
Computer mode: No longer available. The online community is pushing Lenovo to enable this option again.
HDR and L1 status: Fully functional HDR and L1 status for HD content on Netflix in most cases.
Chinese version with Fake global version
Software: It comes with a modified Android 12. No updates will be available.
System languages: All languages available.
Slow charging. Can take up to 3 hours to fully charge.
Computer mode: Available.
HDR and L1 status: Falty HDR on most apps. L1 status for HD content on Netflix.
Official International Version
Software: It comes with Android 12. Updates will be available by Lenovo.
System languages: All languages available.
Slow charging. Can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. (By some reports online) This information hasn't been confirmed yet as the community with the official international version is still small.
Computer mode: Available.
HDR and L1 status: Working HDR. L1 status for HD content on Netflix.

How-tos and tutorials links:
How to install/restore ZUI on my fake global version?​There are three options available. Please read all 3 below and decide which one you want to try.
OPTION ONE: If you are in a hurry and have technical knowledge download the file our community colleague @Fatperman managed to upload and install it using the SP flash tool. Thread here. A Step-by-step tutorial will be provided by another community member soon. A link will be provided once available.
OPTION TWO: If you are not in a hurry and don't have the technical knowledge to flash the system, there is an easier way, but it takes one or two days.
1 - Download Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software here.
2 - Open the software and create an account. Connecting to Google is easier.
3 - Once connected to an account, find the SMALL blue FEEDBACK button on the right side bottom of your screen and click there.
4 - Put your email address and in COMMENTS write that you have problems flashing the Chinese version of TB132FU and that you would like to restore it to the original ZUI 14 software. PLEASE USE YOUR OWN WORDS.
5 - After one or two days (usually), INSIDE the software you will receive a response with instructions on how to install ZUI more easily. Note: You will not get a response via email, you will receive institutions inside Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software.
The instructions are pretty simple. READ THEM carefully once you receive them. It's really easy. Basically, they will send you a link to download a special rescue tool and some credentials. Take a screenshot of the instructions as you will need to uninstall the official Rescue software and will lose the message.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download and install the software they sent, enter using the temporary credentials (the credential are confidential and should not be shared), and follow the instructions on the screenshot you took. You will just need to turn off the tablet, click to restore, and connect the cable. After a few minutes, you will have the original ZUI 14 software.
Thanks again for the amazing help of our colleague @Fatperman for his exceptional work!
NEW - OPTION THREE:
This is by far the easist way to recover or flash the original ZUI 14 on our TB132FU. DON'T CLICK to Restore before reading all the steps.

I don't think there's a Chinese version of the software. The credentials are needed. They may be off for the holidays so you will need to wait. Hopefully someone gets back to you during this week. Otherwise I would recommend writing again.
after install zui14 my device show message "orange state" in boot, I can't update even with vpn.
can i lock bootloader after installing zui14 in chinese version? how to proceed?
Yes you can. If anything goes wrong you can do everything again. I Unlocked the bootloader and tried flashing a recovery, bricked the tablet and used the tool to fix again.

After unlocking the bootloader every time you boot up the device the following text will be displayed on the screen:
Code:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
To remove this text warning and 5s delay you need to change the file "lk.img" (firmware folder):
Open "lk.img" with a hex editor (for example, HxD)
In menu toolbar click "Search-Find" and select "Hex-values" tab.
Search 08 B5 0E 4B 7B 44 1B 68 1B 68 02 2B
Copy text 08 B5 00 20 08 BD 1B 68 1B 68 02 2B
Return back to hex editor window then right click on the highlighted items and select "Paste Insert"
The newly modified 24 characters will be displayed in red
Click "File" and select "Save".
Flash the modified "lk.img" in fastboot mode
fastboot flash lk lk.img
ZUI_14.0.691
The firmware already includes Google Services Framework.
/system/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
com.google.android.gsf - version 12-7567768
It is disabled by default.
When you turn on "Settings - Apps management - Google Basic Services" the application status changes to enabled (installed).

Nice work! Do you have any idea where the code for text on the picture below might be? Technically, if we are able to find this code and modify it, it should allow us to use the Offical Global rom. I tried to replicate these steps and these steps with no success. I can flash the image using fastboot but the message doesn't disappear.
Protip: The version TB132FU_USR_S000034_2206180119_MPR0_ROW allows the bootloader to remain unlocked. Useful for tests with the Global version
While the version "TB132FU_USR_S000089_2210200620_MPR0_ROW" will lock the bootloader and the commands to unlock will not work.
Let me know if you have any insights.

I had TB132FU_S000034_220618_ROW installed.
I flashed ZUI 14.0.691.
And now I can't flash any firmware through the flashtool. I can't flash my backup of TB132FU_S000034_220618_ROW.
That's why I'm still on the ZUI 14.0.691.
I'm getting used to it

Awesome. Just a note: The fake global was TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW, and the version we could use to try removing the code is TB132FU_USR_S000034_2206180119_MPR0_ROW. This version is flashable via the Third method on the FAQ. I tried to flash a backup using the Flash Tool and even splitting the dump using Wwr MTK tool and using the third flashing method, but no success with the backup either.
But If we manage to locate the 'Incompatible software' code we could use an official ROM.
