Where NFC driver, module, setting is stored in firmware files? - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

I want to make a franken-firmware for my SOV40. I want it to have access to VoLTE settings and keep NFC function. But I don't know where NFC module is stored in the firmware files. So maybe an expert of this can help. If you know something just post it here. Thank you.

I might've found the difference between Global and Japanese version firmware.
The Japanese variant has this apk (attached)
The Global doesn't have it.
I'll do more research if possible.

Hi. Try to flash softbank firmware on your sov40. Softbank has voLTE (4G Calling) you will still have NFC..

I use unsin.exe for unpacking firmware files.
I use Skit to inspect the name of packages inside the phone.

hi, do you know how to get NFC back when using UK Customize Rom on 802so?
It feels lacking when it doesnt have NFC function. thanks.

BIDI spport (aka Arabic, hebrew...)

Hi all,
I have been looking around for long time and trying different solutions to add Arabic (BIDI or RTL) support to my vibrant but with no luck.the only thing is just adding the font so instead of showing squares it shows the letters but disconnected and in reverse order.
Have any one been successful in porting the language support from the i9000 middle eastern rom? I tried but my phone will not boot and I don't know how to access the log at that stage to see why or what is missing.
Do we have a better built in support in froyo? Or it is the same?
I have seen many threads in many forums but most are not active for long time.
Any help will be appreciated.

I managed to make an arabic 2.1 rom. Everything works fine with exception of GPS. Just do not know how to create a flashable zip file for the rom to post it.

How did you do it?
Where did you get the files from? or you compiled your own?
Is it working now right-to-left and reshaping?
I would appreciate your help.

Can you provide us with that script or show where to get it from? maybe we can update it to work with the new rom.
There is an update rom running froyo 2.2 for Orange (I9000JHJP4) and has support for Arabic and hebrew, i tried to get some files from it to my 2.1 but did not work, i know i am missing more files that should be also integrated. that rom is for the international Galaxy S i9000 so it might not work with Vibrant
you can find the rom at samfirmware.com

I tested this patch without any changes and got the same error
I am trying to understand this java disassembled code to be able to fix it for the new ROM.
The patch already cover the full range of unicode characters for hebrew and arabic + other rtl languages.
Can anyone help me with generally understanding the disassembled code or provide links to some resources that can help?

Look at this thread, one guy is trying the same thing and he is getting the same error, and i think he got a work around in a hebrew site which i could not understand so you might find the solution to your problem there http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic5657.html but for me I still need the Arabic character reshaping so RTL alone is not enough
And this is the link to the XDA thread where they discuss the same issues, and it seems that they are about to integrate the BIDI solution into the AOSP and CM

[Q] Sim Toolkit

I know that in several country Sim toolkit is not important thing,.. Since it is also have featues for mobile banking, I thing, it is become an important thing.
I have found Sim Toolkit (STK.apk) in several Rom, but sometimes, when updating the Rom, the apk is gone, with no way to install the apk.
I am aslo understood that it is because of changing base Rom etc.
Why dont The STK.apk developper just make universal apk, that can be used in any Rom?
Make it Simple for everybody will be a good investment
Sorry for bad English and Double post

You have to ask the developer that question .
But i think you mean the app that is supplied by the network provider .
jje
you can still use it in any rom, extract it from any rom that has it and paste it to system/app in your current rom
pardon me but whats so impt abt this apk? I uninstalled it since Day 1 and so far nv encounter any problem.

if you are not rooted then wait for someone to edit it for you or do a search and do it yourself

Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Smartwatch

Hello,
I tried to change smartwatch's language trough the adb. Now it keeps crashing, can't access options. Error: "unfortunately launcher has stopped."
I guess i didn't have the last firmware, probably was the problem. i can't find a way to hardreset it or reinstall the firmware trough the adb. Can you help me to solve this? At this point i don't care about the language anymore, i just want to recover the watch...
Thanks in advance

An interesting experiment would be to get hold of an update zip. I guess you probably have firmware 1.3.0n on your watch. When you get an update, it would be nice if you could try to download the update.zip from the watch. I'm not 100% sure if that can be done easily via adb. Then we could try to see if the Chinese version accepts this update, too.
If yes, great. We're done. If not, then it will be difficult if not even impossible.

You can try to do a backup of the watch. Someone has made a small progress and is working on the source of the watch. He says a backup would help him. See here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3526828
Anyone have the english version already?
If yes, it would be great. We probably have a way to copy the firmware to a chinese watch, but need to get hold of a copy from an english watch owner first.
Never, there is a friend with the pace version. But he don't know how to get the firmware from his watch. How can we get this to share it? Is there an easy method to backup the firmware?

Well, it's not really very difficult, but it also depends if you have ever used adb before to access you android phone. If yes, then we could do this via a chat. If he has no experience with adb, we would first need to install adb on his PC.
My English version just arrived today (yet to confirm it is the English version... I'm guessing firmware version 1.3.0n will tell me?)
I could do a dump if someone could point me in the right direction on how to collect? I've used adb before but mainly for flashing, not the other way or using shell. I could read more about how but I'm lazy right now (very time poor this time of year )
adb is setup on my Win10 machine though. (sees devices and adb drivers are right)

Thanks for the offer, but it is no longer necessary. We got two (identical) copies of the English system rom. We now need to find the right way to flash this back to the Chinese version.
Hi to all owners of the amazfit huami/pace.
I am writing here because there aren't so much informations about this watch on xda or other forums. I am having a lot of problems connecting my watch to my phone...It is really strange because It was ok until some days ago, but now It seems like I can't connect them if between them there are more than 10 cm.
I used this watch correctly for about 10 days and now It seems like there so much problems and it is so sad...
Someone had this issue too? Did you solved and in wich way?

Hi guys, i dont know why. I have this wakelock. Even without bluetooth enabled.

[Guide] any full OTA for use with Locked bootloader, no wipe

You can download any OTA from Firmware finder (android or pc version) and flash it !
Currently it works 100% if you follow the instructions below to the letter
Warning !
Keep in mind that you are going to flash a newer version that is not yet released for your region.
This could result in having to reset your phone or a unstable system
Also the firmware could not be verified yet by google, so some apps could stop working.
Most of the time it is safe to flash a newer version when you read that someone has received it by OTA in a different country.
When i flashed the 185 firmware no wipe was done. I was coming from 178.
This is no insurance that it will never wipe your phone, so backup always !!
Check this youtube video for the entire procedure (for mate 20, but everything else is the same basically) https://youtu.be/g9pPi7I1SNc
This guide is based on the Mate 20 guide but modified for some parts, the only thing i have invested is the time to create this guide and my P30 Pro for countless flashes.
Check here for more info and download links
All other credits are mentioned below this guide.
Full guide: (WINDOWS Only) (You need at least 30GB free on the c: drive)
Get the all in one package here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MkNW9tAwpKwKR6fl3YsmlHWtfrvwAXQu/view?usp=sharing
Or download from the following site(s)
1. You need version 9.0.2.301 from hisuite (or the version from my package, is is slightly newer), if you are already using the newer HiSuite version 9.0.2.305 then uninstall this
2. Use Hisuitepatchinstaller found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/hisuite-patch-hstool-t3910147 after installation of the correct HiSuite version
If for some reason you cannot download HiSuitepatchinstaller then u can use the FHHiSuiteInstaller, You can find under the "HiSuite Method" menu HERE, then unzip en run this''.
3. Next you need Hstool (currently at version 1.30), It is included in my download pack or download this at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
Create a folder on your laptop/pc on the C: drive called Hstool and put the downloaded "Hstool.exe" file in it.
4. You need to download firmware using Firmware Finder from GPlay or site and NOT the ones from dload folder.
This will ensure that you download the correct version for your phone.
Put the downloaded file also in the "c:\Hstool" folder.
5.. Instead of downloading (step 4) you can also use this OTA file (it is version 185) this version
VOG-L29 tested, for other versions maybe it is better to use firmwaredownloader from step 4
6. Grab the file from here and replace the file in C:/Windows/User/yourusername/AppData/HiSuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev/HiSuiteConfig.xml
7. Put the full OTA file inside the folder where HStool tool is located and start HStool and follow the instructions
BUT when it asks to put a # before the entry 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com, change it to 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com
Known issues :
1. Sometimes the XML is being replaced automatically by HiSuite. So make sure you update this just before you start flashing
2. Do check if the hosts file is correctly edited just before you start the final step. You can do this by doing a "ping query.hicloud.com"
Thanks to @SLVMSF for the info and links
Thanks to @mikeos for HStool
Thanks to @Zanr Zij for the modded XML file to make it compatible for the P30 pro
Note:
This guide is work in progress and has been updated on 04-08-2019​
Nice work, m8. I will try tomorow to merge some infos about hosts and what's different in Funky Huawei vs offline after i get my hands on a laptop and install all necessary for helping you.

It's the same thing, Huawei is releasing international versions. The versions for dload method are different, but what i had linked it's what you need. You can flash without any doubt LGRP2-OVS.

Yes, Need help to understand what's missing from FH side. Same issue here as well.
Also, Check this Post made by me a while back. I Got ahead of the internet connection step a while back.
However the firmware didn't pass to the device.
The correction was in the hosts file, Check the hosts file I have attached in that thread. It has the correct FH Entry.

And did you replace the xml file ?
