Hello again xda. I really hope someone will be able to help me. So the issue is I am getting a weird looking boot screen every time I turn on my phone or restart. It looks like this:
{
"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"
}
Now this is not the same model as mine but the screen is exactly the same as what happens to mine. It stays on that for a few seconds and then goes to the honor screen and boots as normal and as far as I can tell, the phone works fine for all intents and purposes. It's just an eyesore having to see that every time and I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this to make it the regular boot? Let me also note that my bootloader is locked and I cannot unlock it for the life of me. I usually resolve things like this on my own after doing research but I have done extensive research on this matter and cannot find a solution. I did the thing where it gives me the unlock code and it tells me it is invalid every time I try to unlock with it. I attempted to call Huawei and they said they cannot help me with that and kept reiterating it will void my warranty. So keep this in mind, I cannot do any kind of flash from recovery because my phone is locked and I have no way to unlock it to my knowledge. Any and all help will be much appreciated. If any more information is needed just let me know, but I believe I covered everything. Thanks.
EDIT: As requested I will add another piece of information. I do not get the Huawei powered by Android screen (without animation), I guess that is the part the weird boot screen replaces. I do however, get the Huawei screen that does have an animation.
Model Number KIW-AL10
Build Number KIW-L24C567B331
It seems that you debrand it to use another model's firmware. That's the reason I believe
Lol... I was about to say that another user has the same problem but could not find a solution and then I saw the OP and it's you buddy.
Hope you solve your problem now that this problem has a thread of its own.

One thing to add, if you don't that green screen at the beginning, revert back to the official fw
Just to clarify, when we turn on Huawei phone, there are two honor logos, the first one is honor and powered by Android (without animation) and the second one is honor (with animation), I guess you don't see the first powered by Android logo...
If yes, please edit OP to mention this...

Could you please link me the official firmware? In my other post someone mentioned I do a flash via the button method and it helped but did not get rid of the boot screen issue. I am not sure if the one I used was official or not.

I was using stock + torpedo root and my update went fine...Lost root of course but got it right back with torpedo again.

You can be rooted and do the update and be fine...but if you are unlocked it may or may not take. Lots of risk involved unlocked. I would flash back with the last OTA and lock and unroot, re-root, flash this OTA adn then unlock and reroot again. Yeah...its a lot of work...but that what flashing is all about, right!!
Hi guys!
I've got i9100P locked to Orange UK. Is there any way to get the unlock code? I've tried this app but it doesn't work:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zZ3Myc2ltdW5sb2NrY29kZSJd
I've also tried this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en
It doesn't return the code, but does unlock it on 4.0.4. On 4.2.2 it doesn't work.
Is there a way to get the unlock code for free? If not, can you recommend verified website where I can buy unlock code?
Thanks!

it says that it can unlock my phone for $4. But if I have to pay, I'd rather pay for unlock code than for the app that patches some files.
Well go and pay for an unlock code then.And next time search.......

Search what?
I've searched the forums and didn't find the answer. I'm asking for someone to recommend me a verified website where I can buy the unlock code.
Now this is funny.....
You came here looking for a way to unlock your device. Bumped into like 3411 threads about it.
Tried a couple of apps, freaked out when the BEST unlocking app out there charges you with 4 buck for unlock it for good (true story, most of us used it), because you don't wanna pay for some file-pathing up but you would pay 25 buck to a website to get your phone unlocked with a code?
AND YOU MISSED the XDA USER FREE APP the dev -you don't wanna support by throwing 4 bucks - provided us with?
Then you said "let's create a thread and give crap"?
That's hilarious.
Edit: That was uncalled for, sorry about that, just ask somebody attach the free app or whatever. Tho the paid app will permanently unlock your device.

The developer has kindly given members here the opportunity to use his app for free.
So search on here for SPOCKY.And next time thank people like Sun90 instead of moaning about an apps functionality/cost.

To all other: Look guys, I didn't mean to be rude or anything similar. I've already bought similar app that I've found here at XDA. It can find the unlock code, and if it doesn't find it, it can patch nv_data.bin. It didn't find the unlock code, and patching only worked for older versions of android. That's way I didn't want to bug another similar app as the one I already have - I want newest cyanogenmod. Anyway, I've bought the unlock code from http://unlockunit.com/ for $20 and it's working perfectly Thanks guys!
We've been trying to tell you that you could have gotten it unlocked for free with an app the dev once posted or by paying for the play store version of that app. It was 2 bucks and unlocks it for good.
We all used it when jb re-locked our devices back in November.

Hi Guys!
Got myself an Xperia XA Ultra F3215 Variant (1st Sony Android Device for me) yesterday. I like the screen and performance - even if its just a mid-ranger and I'm also coming from the Note 4, though I've yet to really test the battery out.
I tried searching not only the XDA but also through Google, but I have yet to find a thread about the F3215.
I have read the differences for some variants would be Dual SIM vs Single SIM, but aside from those, I don't really know much about the variants.
I also checked the USSC Code if the device can be rooted, but it doesn't appear to be so.
So for those devices which aren't Rootable, would there be instances wherein Root can still be achieved even if it's just Temp Root? Has it ever happened to other Sony devices? This is my first Sony android phone, so I don't have experience in Root and Modding aspect of this Manufacturer.
I'd love to have Root, mainly for: debloating, Greenify, Xposed, and Viper4Android.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi, it's a full root and it's not hard if you are not a "One clic solution" user. The process is almost the same on nexus or pixel: unlock bootloader -> flash boot/recovery -> flash SuperSu. Download the rootpack for single sim on the Ultra forum and follow carefully the guide on XA forum.A big warning if you use flashtool to update, it can brick your device, on locked bootloader too!

Just to make it clear: mine, in the Service Info says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No

LCD density is 340 or 320i think. I was using nova launcher though.
320Dpi looks good, large enough to read stuff on and has additional space, too! Maybe I'll try 320dpi, since mine is still ln default so texts are big! Haha
Just curious, is it possible to root Xperias? Has anyone rooted the Sony Xperia PRO-I ?
Yes magisk
Can you recommend a version? There was a bug (Android 11's fault) that was causing bootloops on the Xperia 5 II and 1 II which is a bit scary.

I tried to root with Magisk, but couldn't open the bootloader using the procedure on this Sony.com website: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader. The procedure doesn't give me an unlock code. Do you have an alternative?
I recently rooted my Pro-I without any issues that weren't my own inability at paying attention to guides.
to get the oem unlock key you just paste your IMEI under xperia 1 IV since pro-I doesn't have a dedicated listing.
just follow the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...re-and-gsi-rom-flashing-without-twrp.4390175/

First off, that's kind of a **** answer. Second, can you give some evidence about your claim about the Pro I? What region was your phone?

I've confirmed with him, I also have a rooted Pro-I. It's an HK model although I'm in Canada
Bootloader is unlocked for us by stating it's a 1 III or 1 IV on sony site, it provides the code then.
XQ-BE72
American models cannot be unlocked
AMA; I've done lots of tweaking with it and can attest to it's performance
Tsuchimursu has also helped to confirm a prior root finding so I can vouch for him as well

First off, that's kind of a **** answer. Second, can you give some evidence about your claim about the Pro I? What region was your phone?

yeah it's a bad answer because I'm a total beginner at this stuff and don't pretend otherwise. My only real issues were my own doing, had I followed guides step by step I would have gotten it done without any issues. I pointed out the thing that differed from guides that worked for me. you can ask specific questions if you hit a brick wall but it's been a while now so I don't remember much of what I did...

oh by the way, there used to be a guide for pro-I specifically (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/closed-deleted.4390175/) but due to some drama I know nothing of, it is no more, sadly.

I have a Pro I and I am getting a 'no' on the bootloader unlock. How do you get around this?

Can you do me a huge favor and screenshot the "no" please, and re-iterate your model number?

Thank you VERY much for this. For what it's worth, they seem to think XQ-BE62 is unlockable. My unit is arriving in coming weeks and I'll be raising hell if that's not true.
In the mean time, "Developer options" -> "OEM unlocking" - can you confirm you have that checked, and re-validate if your "Bootloader unlock allowed" changes to "yes" ? This is a long shot.

If you are able to root your phone please let me know. Fingers crossed. I just checked Developer Options and OEM unlocking is on. I went to *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer and it still returns NO. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I have my doubts.

Very interesting. Sounds like left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Sony.
Will ping this thread (no promise on timeliness) once I get my device.

Sorry to be kind of absent from this convo. This month has been insanity. I am watching what happens. I have a US based Pro I as well XQ-BE62.
My XQ-BE62 arrived and basically as we all suspected, nope....can't be unlocked. Argh.
i've already unlocked the bootloader but unable to find stock firmware anywhere. it uses a msm8937 (but according to cpu-z it's a msm8917) but i cant find a firehose for qfil or a loader with bklerler's edl tool. i can boot into ffbm mode but it seems it's locked tight unlike other devices where i can gain adb su without rooting the device
saw this thread and wanted to ask if anyone wanted to help me get a boot.img to root it since its from the same odm. it's an assurance wireless free phone

I'd be willing to help with this. I have one of these phones as well. Is there a way we could chat somewhere to have better response times between us?

mods are gonna remove any links to chat apps/groups
let's keep it in the thread for now so anyone else can benefit. i'd read up on firehoses and the edl protocol if you aren't familiar with it. heres an open source tool to interface with devices through edl: https://github.com/bkerler/edl
i've already unlocked my bootloader but have no firehose or loader to connect with my sv55. all i need is that to pull the boot image then i can patch it with magisk and flash it back

Afternoon luridphantom
I have the same question as BigBubbaCJ. I just recently acquired this phone (Schok Volt V55S) and would like to know where to get info on unlocking the bootloader. Not sure I need another ROM, but want to be able to delete all the bloatware (google crap) from this phone and be able to enter "storage" to put music and photo's on. TNX

just do adb reboot bootloader and fastboot oem unlock
plenty of tutorials in xda to show you how to do that
Hey has anybody got root on here yet?
no root without getting the firmware first, thats why i opened this thread

Hey luridphantom
Thanx for the reply and info. A related question: once the bootloader is unlocked, shouldn't you be able to root without flashing another ROM?

no, you need the firmware to do anything with an unlocked device
recovery for building twrp, boot for magisk patching and rooting
so now there is a way to get root but it involves a lot of steps and someone sacrificing their phone for the cause
all we need to do is follow these same steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/umx-u696cl-unofficial-root-thread.4446111/
Will this make your phone unusable after doing all these steps?

according to the guy who got root on his 696, yes. 2 phones are required to get root, 1 for the actual flashing and rooting, the other to rescue the first phone with once root has been obtained

As much as I would like to contribute I don't know how to make twrp so I'll just have to wait for somebody to make a tutorial I'll be patient n maybe do some research n try myself but in the mean time thanks you

I take it you found a boot.img to be able to root. Was it for the sv55 (SV55216 build)?.... I need that firmware if you would please share it.
Thanks,

thats not the correct way to read the build, but mine is svv55216_01.01.04.131651
if that matches, feel free to patch this boot with magisk
if not you need to use the recovery i uploaded, build twrp from it then flash it
