Hi
I got the Xperia XZ1 Compact GO-02K Docomo. Can I flash G8441 firmware?
are you sure?
+1
did you find somethig
Its possible?
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm going to bump this, since I just got one of these phones (I'm in the US) and I want to get rid of all the Docomo junk and maybe go to a nice ROM.
Edit: I just found out that (unsurprisingly) the phone says that it is unable to have the bootloader unlocked. Is there a way to circumvent this? I've seen mentioned elsewhere that I still may be alble to root.
Hi,
I've got one of these too, and I'm trying to switch to a customized G8441 rom. I can't flash it with newflasher , i've got this error:
- Uploading signature C:\Users\USER\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads\G8441_Customized FR_1310-8853_47.2.A.11.228_R4C\partition\partitionimage_0.cms
signature:0000053c
Error, didn't got signature OKAY reply! Got reply: FAILFailed to verify cms
I dont know what it mean and i don't want to modify some firmware files to brick my phone.
I've read XZ1 JAPAN (SOV36) can be switched to global (G8431), so I assume it's possible too for XZ1 compact (SO_02k and G8441) because there are identical hardware.

Thanks for posting, I'd really like to get this working. The SO-02Ks are fairly cheap and easy to get on ebay compared to the G8441, at least in the US so there would be significant value in finding a solution.
At this point I've lowered my standards from wanting to put a ROM on it, to just rooting so I can remove Docomo bloatware, to now where I'd just be happy being able to flash some US firmware onto the thing so I can at least send MMS messages.
I've got a brand new one for 230$ instead of 400$ for the global version, yes it's really cheap
You don't need root to remove bloatware, just read this guide.
But if you really want root (temporary only), you can flash rom 47.1.f.1.105 (android 8.0.0 ) and follow that . I did it but go back to 9.0.0 because camera wasnt working (something about drm key I think but I don't know that much about smartphone).
The only thing annoying is camera shutter sound I can't disable now.
Here is a bloatware list, just chekck if you need or not some app.

Thanks for the bloatware uninstall stuff, that's fantastic! I gave up on rooting because I didn't want to go back to 8 and have DRM key issues. I do really need to get MMS working on this phone though, and as far as I can tell, it needs US firmware to be able to do that.
Have any of you read this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1/help/xz1-sov36-t3916251
Hi, this isnt for compact xz1 (so-02k). I'va already tried and newflasher wont let me use global rom because of différent signature.
Has anyone found a way around the MMS messages being blocked on the SO-02K? Unlike what other's have said, using a different app like the google app does not solve the problem. I get an "MMS not available on network" message when I try to send something (regardless of whether the phone is on a network or not when I try to send it) and I cannot receive group messages. SMS works fine. This is really my only issue with this phone right now, so if anyone has any idea of why this might be the case we might be able to look for a way to circumvent it.

The point is have you read it and tried anything from it? Those with the device need to try any and all suggestions.
Yes, I've already read this topic, but I can't even flash my phone with global rom, newflasher doesn't allow it and I didn't found someone who success to.
Those with XZ1 (sov36) are not facing this issue and can flash global or JP rom.
Try an older version of Newflasher, a different rom, or try flashing different sin files to see if that gets you any further.
I've tried three différent version and many roms.
I dont want to modify sin files because I dont want to brick my Phone, I'm not confident enough?
I'll deal whith jpn rom, I'm fine with it actually.

You don't need to modify them, you just need to flash them.
I dont get it, how am i supposed to do this? Replace sin files from global firmware by japanese ones? Is there a risk to brick my phone?

Replace Japanese ones with global. Have you tried flashing a global kernel first with fasboot and then the software. The chance of bricking your phone from flashing FW is slim to next to none.

Yes I've tried with flashboot, but SO-02K is missing from device list and when I select G8441 with global or jpn firmware, it doesnt work.

So Hello guys, I've got a Mi5 from NIS-Store around a month ago.
It's working totally fine but... I've set up finger print and password protection but after testing it, I decide to remove it and then where all my problems with Mi5 come up.
When you get to the settings option and get to password, it simply shows a white blank screen and after few seconds, settings apk just crash.
I've find out that I'm running chinese seller rom or something like that. Found some tutorials on Xiaomi website how to flash the proper rom but non of them are working for me or I'm just to stupid for it (Never done anything on other phones then Sony :laugh.
It's running 7.2.8.0.0 (MAACNDB) Miui 7. Its defo not the global version even though it is said... I've tried flashing proper rom with both update apk on the phone and the MiSuite (far as I remember the name) and I couldn't done it.
Do You have any ideas how to get a proper rom on it ? I'm running out of ideas...
Other then that problem, phone itself is just amazing.
Unlock your device first. Then download official fastboot rom for your device. Flash it using miflasher
Thanks, waiting from Xiaomi for approval in order to unlock it. Any idea where can I get the Xiaomi phone with a proper official software? Would love to get another one but with proper software.

Check their website for fastboot-ready firmware.
I got my Mi5 from ibuygou.com and asked them to include the original ROM. They sent me a factory sealed Mi5 with the China ROM, which was what I wanted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the global ROM in minutes.

Before I start, will it erase all the media on the storage? Like apps, photos etc ?

It will erase everything besides of internal storage, but better make backup.
So i´ve been locked in the KG State Prenormal for about 2 months now, two weeks of it i kept the phone connected without rebooting or removing the SIM...
I´m on my limit right now, just a few sights of the word "Prenormal" away of smashing this pieceof sh*t (1000 euros piece of...) against a wall... the use of an hammer also crossed my mind...
I´m about to give up, and sell this pos to buy a phone that actually would belong to me and not to the brand that sold me... Cause Samsung is NOT that brand, also i might never buy anything from these control freaks psichos again... anyway i digress...
After testing all guides i could find, flashed several ROMs i realized that the mistake i made was to update to binary 4... now i´m stuck...
Anyway, after all this, i stumbled upon this file "COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU4ASJ2_FACFAC_CL13996359_QB26885160_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar" that i actualy can flash, but can´t do much else with it...
It has binary 4 and is a very slimed down version of Oreo 8.1. I can install custom binaries, including TWRP, but can´t boot to it.. the phone just reboots.
I can even flash the magisk_patched AP i got, but then the phone wont boot at all. Can´t overlapped it with my stock rom cause then i got the error that the binaries are mixed up...
Not even with the Oreo ROM cause the binaries wont match...
Once in the OS i can access lots of hardware tools, but can´t install any apk...
So i wonder, What is this crap for? How can i use this?
Anyone here used a Combination file before? For what?
As i guess i have a few more tries before i just smash this phone, any new tips regarding the KG issue are also welcome.
Special thanks to bober10113 for the incredible patience he has proven to have...
Also to Mr. Ketan, that despite his very detailed and awesome guides, i just can´t seem to get rid of this crap... Thank you for all your amazing work that certainly saved a lot of other users... just not me...
And people, DON´T GIVE REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR PC TO ANYONE CLAIMING THAT HE CAN HELP YOU.... You know who you are! Scammer!
No Hangouts chats! If this sorry excuse for a human had a real solution, he should share it with the community, not pull you over aside...

Combination file is used mainly to remove google account locks or some other kind of locks, also to downgrade fw versions.

Thanks for replying
Can you explain HOW can make a downgrade of fw?
I updated to version U4, and at this moment can´t flash fw U3, because Samsung...
I tried to to flash U3 fw over this Combination file, but always got the error "...Device 4 Binaries 3..." even without the BL file on Odin.
In fact, even when flashed individually, BL, AP, CP and CSC give that error.
So, how can this file help me?

Hi everyone!
So, I just bought myself a Xiaomi mi 9, and the phone itself is great. Still, I'm having a problem related to the ROM that's installed on my device.
When buying this phone, I was looking for a global version. I found one online from local shop, and I was pleased to find what I was looking for. But now after 2 weeks, I was searching the web about updates and MIUI 11. Soon after, I realized that my phone was running a ROM version called 10.2.18.0 PFAEUVF. Now from my understanding VF stands for Vodafone, a carrier I don't even have in my country. The problem with this is that from what I've been reading online, that all updates will be slower, and possibly tweaked from Vodafone before I get them. And frankly, I'm not interested in this at all.
So my questions: Can I put the correct EU or Global ROM on my device fairly easy?
Will I be able to lock bootloader again, so I can use bank related services after?
I'm not new to Android, but I would be extremely grateful if someone could help, or give me a detailed guide on the matter if it's possible to solve. English is not my native language, so it's not always that easy understanding how to-do guides when reading a ton of information.
Sorry for the long text, and if someone know anything about this, I will patiently wait for your reply
Sincerely
Fred

well, if you already have the bootloader unlocked and you are "carrier free" in that phone, you can flash the EEA ROM or the Global ROM from Xiaomi using MiFlashTools, download that and download the zip of the rom, need to be a fastboot ROM, its pretty easy to find since you are on MIUI10, there's lot of MIUI10 ROM for Mi9.
In the MiFlashTool in the bottom right see if they have the option "clean all and lock" or something like that, extract the zip of the ROM you downloaded and then search the folder in the MiFlashTool, click start (dont forget to put the phone in fastboot mode, phone off, press and hold volume up + power button) and thats it, pretty easy.

Im unlocking bootloader, waiting for timer to go down. So basically the most important thing to me, is that I I'm able to flash normal/global ROM without Vodafone and then lock bootloader again without damaging anything. I did not buy the phone through carrier, although the phone came with this Vodafone ROM sh...t
Vodafone is not a carrier in my country, so I've been using my local simcard without any problem, so I guess that a good thing.
@Fredoksi: how did it work out at what did you flash? An EU or a global ROM and do you get updates after the flash or do you need to install these yourself?

Hi @Sun_is_shining, I'm in the same situation. Unlocked my phone but got a Vodafone rom.
I see that you mention to activate the option "clean all and lock". Why should I do that? Isn't that going to lock the phone again?
I want to install Lineage 17.1 unoffical rom on my phone so what is the best way to go?
Other queistion. Currently I have a 10.2 MIUI. Is it best to install an 11.XX rom first and then the Lineage of can I go straight to the Lineage rom?
I'll hope you have some answers

It worked flawlessy for me. I went from vodafone (EUVF) to European (EUXM) and locked bootloader instantly when flashing. I also recommend after booting up the first time after flashing, to go to settings and do a factory reset first before you use it.
Installed 11.0.8.0 QFAEUXM and upgraded directly to MiUI 11. I get system apps updates, but due to Coronavirus I don't think they have newer firmware versions at the moment. Nevertheless, OTA should not be a problem when available.
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Well, first of all I wanted to see if it was possible. If this was not the case, I would probably return it due to harder aftermarket sale. Secondly I didn't want the hassle when using things like Bank ID etc, and yes I know there is a lot of working mods and what not, but again if I sell the phone, the other person might not be into modding etc, so all in all a mix of ease of use and safety from my side.
Another Vodafone ROM...

Hi @Fredoski!
Thanks for your reply. Are you from Brazil? I"m from Rio.
I bought a Mi 9 yesterday and find the same situation.
Can you help me? I have some questions:
1- Where can I download the tools to do the flash operation? It's the same MiFlash used to unlock the device (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44.zip). Have long time ago I used to do this kind of thing on my smartphones. :silly:
2- If I understand well, you flash the MIUI 11 on top of the MIUI 10 Vodafone, is that corect? The ROMs on MIUI ROM page are "fastboot" ROMs? Could I use this to flash the smartphone?
3- Any others complains about? I can't brick my smartphone on the process!
I'm glad if you or others members could help me!
Thanks!
Done!
I already made the ROM flash to EEA ROM. Thanks!
Hi,
I wanted to ask how it is with the warranty.
Do I still have warranty if I go from the MIUI 11.0.10.0 (QJBEUVF) to the MIUI 12.0.1.0 (QJBEUXM).
I would be very thankful if I could get an answer.
Like you did it with MIUI 10 Vodafone to MIUI 11 Global EU
Hello,
I'm in Portugal and I bought a Mi Note 10 Lite carrier free but with a Vodafone Rom... Weird...
Can you please tell me steps to remove this Rom and install Miui 12 Global?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Pedro
I know that there are so many threads about this, but in every thread everyone is talking different.
I want to just know, which is the tested method to flash European ROM to Chinese phone?
I also dont have a proper link for european rom ( I have seen some people flashing Indian rom and what is difference between indian and european?)
So lads please help me, I dont want to brick my phone, because there are no OP support team near my country. So it would be a garbage.
By personal experience, don't do that.
My phone is just bricked from just trying to flash the same rom again.
I've always did on my htc, xiaomi, samsung and many others and OnePLus 10 pro was the first one to give me problem. If you get in a state that you need to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical and for some reason your device reset then it's dead with no chance to recover.
There is no tool available to us that can recover from that. The phone don't turn on screen, it's not recognized by the computer and even on the charger it just don't turn on. So completely dead.
The best way is to just buy the model NE2213, that comes with a global rom.

Get Fastboot Enhanced & files needed to access adb/fastboot from computer. Unlock Bootloader. Download the OOS ROM you want then extract the file you need for Fastboot Enhanced. Make sure no cow files exist on device with Fastboot Enhanced and then if all checks out you flash.
I've kept this very vague because like you've mentioned there are a few different tutorials explaining (including mine here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lobal-rom-region-change.4462591/post-87151395) but the basic steps I quickly explained should exist in them all. You'll just need to find one you can follow that makes the most sense to you!
I personally used NE2213 on my device that I converted from NE2210 and am using that device to reply to this thread. I am in Canada and this is Chinese Model OP10 Pro and all works fine on my end. Hopefully you can accomplish the same for yourself if this is your intention.

If you can make sense of all the steps then go for it lol. My tutorial is more of a gathering of others work put together in a way that I hoped others could follow. I didn't want to re re re make another tutorial from scratch as your already seeing how confusing and inconsistent having so many guides can be!
I typically use Oxygen Updater on the PlayStore. Then in settings I'll do this (check photo). Then go back to the first page of application and you should see a download option (also check photo). Once you've downloaded the file just transfer it to the computer and you should be good to go. This is usually how I get the files...
Thanks so much, You made a great job lad.
Will try when I get a phone and I will let you know how it goes.

Just remember to keep reading over everything while you wait for your phone. Make sure to check everything over and over and just read all the threads here on XDA to get an understanding for what everyone else has done (the good and the bad) to ensure you yourself don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
I have the Chinese Model also and don't even understand one word let alone writing in the language but this is the phone I got and I gotta make it work so I can relate to your situation with buying it already and it being too late to change your mind lol.
my mind is blowing, everyday reading so much failures and bricked phones thats not good for mental health.
planned to go with your guide step by step and pray same time, maybe that helps lol
Hello everyone, im new to this Forum.
I need to ask if someone can help me. I remember using the cleaning Tool on my Mi11 on the Bus and seconds after closing the App the Phone suddenly Turned off & after Turning it back on it just displayed the Message
"your System has been destroyed" and constantly bootlooping.
Recovery Mode was not working, i can only get into fastboot Mode.
I tried flashing new Firmware with the tools provided by Xiaomi but they always tell me to unlock the bootloader wich i havent done and now i cant cause i cant get into the Phone.
I also tried unlocking the Bootloader with MiFlash Unlock but it tells me to add my account in the MIUI Developer Options..
I then contacted some Xiaomi unlocking Service and pay him 30€ to unlock my Phone in a teamviewer Session via AvatarAuthTool and some other stuff but even he was not able to do it.
I removed the backplate from the Phone and shortened the testpoint pins and he tried again with no luck..
i have no Idea how to get this Phone usable again and im desperatly looking for any help or advice bcuz im currently rocking my old Sony Erricson Walkman Phone..
thanks in advance for anyone who is taking the time to read all this and trying to help
You didn't mention if it's still on warranty and whether you can get it repaired from there?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader if you're using the right firmware for your variant.
Do you happen to remember whether it was EEA, MI, IN or etc version for your device?

I dont think i still have warranty cause i bought it as used from a friend, How do i find the correct Firmware as you say i dont need to unlock anything i might have tried with the wrong version. Also i believe its a global version.

No worries. You will have to try a couple of fastboot firmwares.
For each of them, you need to use the latest MiFlash Tool and make sure that CLEAN ALL only option is selected.
One thing to note here is that once you select the firmware folder in MiFlash, it automatically switches to Clean All and Lock
So you better make sure to look well and switch to CLEAN ALL only again before you hit the Flash button.

I couldn't find the latest fastboot version for China. Make sure you download fastboot versions for all of these and try one by one. At least one of these have to work for your bootloader.
If these don't work then we could try Indonesia, Turkey, Taiwan and Russia firmwares. No way none of them works.
Edit: Idk how it selected Bold but nvm. Also, these steps will wipe all data on phone. Will be like a factory reset.
Give this a try first, who knows it might work lol.
