Unofficial build for Sony Xperia ZX1 Compact (lilac)

First of all, I don’t use Firefox on Android.
and secondly, he asked for a privacy friendly one. :wink:

Private. Right.

What’s annoying with Graphene’s reader is that it has no search function.

I only answered one question.
we shouldn’t be using pete’s channel for anything like this.

I sucessfully dirty flashed IodeOS 5.10 today to my device. Thanks to @petefoth for providing it. :slight_smile: It is running smooth.

Is there anything known whether at some point Android 15/IodeOS 6 will be ported to the Yoshino Platform devices or is this not possible anymore?

Someone is working on it: see this comment in GitHub and downloads in Sourceforge. I won’t be making Iodé6 or los4microg 22.1builds for this devices (and the other devices in the Yoshino-platform family) until this work is more stable. From what I’ve read on XDA Forums ( see latest posts in this thread), it’s pretty good but not really ready for use as daily driver

Thanks for your response. I think your approach makes totally sense. :slight_smile:

Hi there.

I just want to update here with a short report about loosing randomly the IMEI on my XZ1 Compact using the IodeOS 5.10 ROM and successfully restoring it via TWRP recovery.

I switched off my phone normally yesterday and when I booted it this morning, I had lost the IMEI again (for the second time, last time this happened in august last year) The symptoms are:

  • the SIM card was not detected
  • Settings → About Phone → IMEI showed no IMEI anymore

I used the method to fix IMEI again via TWRP recovery as described here.

  1. Reboot into recovery (If you do not know how to do this, an easy way is: Settings → System → Buttons → Power Menu → Activate Advanced Restart. You can then select reboot into recovery when you open the Power Menu by pressing the power button.
  2. Advanced → Terminal
  3. Type two commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

There was some error message about full memory (see attached screenshot) but I rebooted anyway.

The fix worked. I had cell phone connection again and the IMEI is showing up in settings again. So this works even if you lose your IMEI on a trip and you have no access to a PC to fix it.
Maybe this post can help some people having similar issue. :slight_smile:

I can second this. I had the same problem (again) just recently and your described method using TWRP worked perfect. I had the same error message in the TWRP terminal window as you.
