How is the solution working till now? I bought this yesterday and faced the issue on the same day.
I have been extremely pissed off with my purchase of the zuk and its update to 2.5 and the bugs. Got so bad that I couldnt even use it....now this offers a glimmer of hope. Nitin, you used QFIL to flash the chinese update? and then changed the language to English?
Thanks for the vid, but couldnt make out most of it. Too much of a distance from the screen for me to really make out what files you selected ( Or is it my eyesight?)
Audio would also help a lot.....I was thinking of flashing another ROM, but would like to stick around and play with the original one for some time.
Any inputs, steps on a note pad on what you did, audio....anything would help. Could I trouble you for this?
Thanks in advance!

You must install the firmware from the mirror version (The mirror and the tablet like version have exactly the same internals) so the hardware is the same CM84, therein a 1.90 beta version that would work great, it has some better quality of life enhancements! on that thread I asked in Russian if I can flash that mirror firmware on my tablet like device, I flashed it and everything was ok! In case anyone is searching info, here is the thread from 4pda:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792739
If you manage to make an account (there are tutorials on web how to solve 4pda Russian captcha to register) you will se a download link from a custom rom named CATS IV you can safely flash.
Hi Hardy, mind to share with me the firmware you used to flash your device? i bought this car cam from china and it does not come with google playstore and cannot install apk apps... hope you can assist me for the firmware. Thanks in advance.
Here do you have the download link from the latest CM84 firmware:
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/qhbWzQD43Q94GN
hey got a similar DVR android mirror. Was wondering if you could send CATs IV firmware? I don't see it on that website?
Hi, i have the same device, my son played with it and locked it by pin. Can't find a way to factory reset it.
If i enter recovery mode i get a android photo and can't go further.
Any help to reset the device?
I recovery mode I can't pass the image with broken android.
Want to restore back to original rom, and have spent a good hour hunting, only to end up at either samobile who want to charge e15, or some other shady sites where y ou have to pay for access...
Is this just the way things are?
Anyone able to share this rom?
At https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-pro/SM-T520/ I do not see anything telling me to pay.
If you actually select a rom, you see this below the file...
This archived firmware is only available for premium users.

Which sort of contradicts the info on the previous page:
Here you find all the latest firmwares for the GALAXY Tab PRO SM-T520, if you want to flash your device with the newest Samsung software. Before downloading, make sure your device has the exact model code SM-T520. You can download the most recent GALAXY Tab PRO firmwares for free, or check out our cheap but fast download options.

I know the firmware is old, but its still the latest!
Did you log in. I registered long time ago at sammobile to be able to download. That worked for about 8 years without paying anything, but downloadspeed is anoying low.
Ok, I just logged in and saw , you have to pay. Free firmware downloads for members are only for recent firmware. Cause we're far from recent, we have to pay for the archive files. F...k you Samsung.
As I said in another thread some years ago, this tablet was my last Samsung device I bought, due to their superior support.
Here's a link for the German (DBT) and the Dutch (PHN) stock firmware. I think the dutch one was newer, although there's probably not much of a difference.

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks
I successfully downgraded my XZ2 Compact (H8314) from Android 10 to 9 using that info: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087435"
but I had a problem, I downloaded (using XPERIAFIRM) 52.0.A.11.32 South Korea version (I'm from Italy, but Italy version is not available) , every thing work fine except LTE (4G) signal, as frequency of two country is not compatible, then I installed Android 10 again and all was ok.
So... now my question is: do you know where I can found 52.0.A.11.32 image customized for Italy?
