Xperia 1 IV, 5 IV and 10 IV support

I also have a 72 variant of 10v with sailfish os. Audio Jack isn’t working, camera isn’t working, and usb headsets aren’t working, but host mode for usb sticks is working and Bluetooth sometimes isn’t possible to be turned on. But pure maps didn’t crash for me. On the xperia 10ii it often crashed and the browser crashes only very rarely compared to on the 10ii. After boot if i enter the unlock code immediately it takes a few minutes to decrypt the file systems, but if i wait a little bit it’s much faster in decrypting. The 10ii would have had a spinning circle forever if i entered the unlock code immediately after boot

the Android 14 release is not yet available/visible on the sony website; I assume Jolla has been able to ge their hands on some pre-release version?

then again, as releases are per country; this can explain.

But then, if you trust other sites:

grimmer info s come up(like the jan one being the last update for this model??)

Seems just this page wasn’t updated,
if you look here:

can see last update is 65.2.A.2.179
and this is Android 14

Following @bruce_one’s steps, I have installed SFOS on my XQ-CC72 this afternoon. VoLTE calling is working, though speakerphone only. Location, Wi-Fi, SMS/MMS, MicroSD, etc. all work. As expected, camera is just a black screen.

I will be daily driving this going forward, at least as long as I can considering I’m in Australia and the Xperia line of phones could be barred from the telcos any day now. Looking forward to the camera being fixed if the phone continues to work.

Is there any instructions how to switch back to stock android with 10IV? How to flash and where the stock rom can be downloaded? If needed…

Sony’s own Emma -tool is the software you are looking for.

Ok, how do i relock bootloader?

Guide here Reinstalling Sailfish OS says: For this, you must use Emma to revert the phone to Android, boot it up, turn it off and then relock the bootloader in the fastboot mode using the command “fastboot oem lock”.

Where and how?

you have to run Emma on a Windows PC, fastboot oem lock must be run with adb, either on a windows or linux pc

Ok. I ran Emma and have stock android, now im strugling how to relock bootloader. For that i need some basic step-by-step guidance :slight_smile:

As i can remember - i just flashed official Android with Emma and the bootloader was locked again. It was not necessary to lock it with a manual step.

Ok, thats strange. There was 4 different andorid versions to choose from, maybe i should try some other version from Emma. Maybe it helps, maybe not. But if someone has any simple guides to relock it would be nice :slight_smile: if reinstall wont help.

You can search for install instructions how to create a setup and then just use that given command.

Now i have ADB installed and it found my phone. Now when i wrote command "fastboot oem lock” it gave “waiting for any device” and nothing happens.

Phone must be in fastboot mode with blue light,
from phone off,
press vol up and plug the phone to USB cord,
keep pressing vol up until blue light.

do you get a response when you type fastboot devices?

Yes it found the device and now i succeeded to relock bootloader. Issue was missing usb drivers. I downloaded Google USB driver and forced to install those. After i installed proper drivers command went trough :slight_smile: Thanks for help!!
