Force reboot

I am not sure its the kernel but the last two nights ive gotten forced reboots and woke up to pin-entry on my phone.

This morning i started spotify, the app loaded and the screen went dark when i was fiddeling with my headphones. About 1 min later i was trying to wake the device but no reaction other then the led that was blinking. 1-2 mins later the phoe was again rebooted.

I'll do some logcat if this keeps happening but a tiny report for now (always on the latest androkernel)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Logcat won't help with kernel issues. Grab a dmesg or last_kmsg if you really want to help.

Not that you'll be of much help because:

[MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] v12 doesn't have reboots. Whatever you did to v13, it's causing these reboots everyone's been having.

Don't know about any other issues but this is all I can help you with, sadly (school doesn't leave me with time to eve compile a kernel ;-; )
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
In v13 fast hotplug and intelli_plug were changed, so probably the problem was caused by them...

Some said they didn't get reboot when they use kernel which originally introduced fast_hotplug,

so I'll revert intelli_plug to v3.8 and compare fast hotplug commits.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Released v18.

Fixed lagfree and hopefully random bootloop...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
I saw this and remembered you said only the resolution matters. In that case, should we be able to flash the nozomi fotkernel.img?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
It should be OK... but all 2.8.3.0 build has bug.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
[MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION]

Have you had any with v18? Haven't had (or taken) the time to update from v12 since it's not causing any issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] follettoverde:
Just one with v18. Do you recommend to downgrade to v12?

EDIT: I realized just now that Boot logs recognizes as unknown shutdown a fast / soft reboot. So when I told about many unwanted reboots I was probably wrong.......sorry

Encryption fails

Hi,

I installed this kernel (v19a) with z3c firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77. Everything seems to work fine except device (and sd) encryption.

I selected encryption in security settings including sd card.

The phone than restarted and stayed in boot loop- the "sony waves" came and than the device again started, and so on.

Could solve this only by flashing another (doomlord) kernel. Then I received message on phone that encryption failed.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Have I done anything wrong? I can only boot into "team win" - recovery. Doesn´t matter which button i push at startup.

I would also like to boot into "cwm" or "philz". Can you help me in this matter?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sander151187:
Hello, I would like to report a possible bug with 4G/APN settings that are lost untill you reflash. What leads me to this possible bug, is that CWM breaks my WiFi, so possibly TWRP could lead to unstable data connection. It's hard to logcat, because I'm on WiFi, so when I see data is lost it's already too late to backtrace. So my question: is there anybody else with these kind of problems?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Once you've flashed the kernel, reboot. Once the Sony logo appears, the notification light should light up for a few seconds. In that time, press the hardware keys to enter recovery:

Camera button = PhilZ

Volume down = TWRP

Volume up = CWM
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] maluc:
Yeah I know. It can do so until about v17 Kernel. But now i can only boot into "TWRP"....strange.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Perhaps Androplus has removed them? After all, TWRP is the superior recovery of the three...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] atlantix1:
Maybe:

"Separated CWM and Philz recovery since boot.img is too big, please unpack using tools such as Android Image Kitchen and overwrite ramdisk-recovery.cpio from here - v19"?

I tried v19c with encryption but it did not work. I got a boot loop and sometimes the phone makes a terrible noise.....

There were some users back in the thread, or one user at least, don't remember, stating that staying at v12 was the way to go for reasons of random reboots.

I didn't initially see it but after some time it seems I'm in this same boat. Are the fixes in this latest version something that might address people with these temperamental handsets or is it ond of those "lost in the 20,000 lines of code" questions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Then, I can do nothing...

Maybe some patches isn't compatible with encryption, but I can't figure out...

Fixes in v19c is for overclock problem.

In some devices it reboots because the voltage was wrong.

For everyone:

Since DevDB variable doesn't work well, I shifted to new simple way to save my time...

Hello,

I maybe I didn't see this but:

I know you can't flash a kernel with locked bootloader. But what if I unlock, flash the kernel and relock it (by flashing the ta partition). Would this work?

Any way to unlock the bootloader without deleting data?

Send with my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] muzab a:
Wont work since ta restore requires stock kernel otherwise it will cause soft brick
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
No and no. A locked bootloader means only a boot image signed by Sony may be written to the boot partition.

As for not deleting data, also no. You can use TiB to backup your apps and back the entire internal storage onto something external (USB OTG, SD card, PC, etc.), then restore the data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wooki:
Thank you. I'm sorry I wasn't aware of this!

But one last question about data partition deletion while unlocking bootloader.

I read at the thread of xflasher ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2986634 )

That data partition won't be deleted if it's being used to flash. Does this apply to z3?

Send with my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Used to flash what, might I ask?

Writing to a partition with fastboot will remove the old data, doing so via recovery should not (unless the zip is scripted to wipe the partition prior to writing the data).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
I released v21 today.

New optimizations and GPU governor "conservative"!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
With the updates the Sony kernel is currently receiving (it updates like every other nightly), that'd take a lot of time for the dev to update every two days.

Best bet is waiting for a Milestone or Stable build.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tRippinthehead:
Did anyone use F2FS here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Have you perhaps read the OP? No?

Then don't ask anything until you've read it.

As far as I'm aware, the kernel supports F2FS. You'd have to modify your ROM to support it as well.

I think there's a way to do it with a script from XDA (as in, you take the ROM zip and the script does the work for you) but don't quote me on that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] PantsDownJedi:
Found app "Kernel Adiutor" while browsing Fdroid just now.

All the features of Fauxclock, except per app control.,and additionally more specific CPU tuning.

Free though I personaly used it to change things with both apps running then let Faux pick up the settings. Most notable was some governor tuning that I couldn't do in Faux along with more specific undervaluing.

I'd recommend it for anyone that wants the same functionality for free.

Per App can be done with xposed Performance Profile.

The Faux sound part of the app does not hold its values though I haven't read the kernel changelog on that recently.

It is stock based kernel, probably if you restore your TA your bootloader will be locked again and your DRM keys will be restored.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] abj2aqua:
Can we use this kernel with locked bootloader Z3 compact? I have root using giefroot. Is it possible? Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Very simplified answer:

A bootloader, as the name suggests, is a piece of software that loads the "boot" partition -- where the kernel and ramdisk are stored.

If a bootloader is locked, it means it can only accept data that was signed with a specific signature; only the manufacturer of the device has that signature key. If a bootloader is unlocked, any data may be written to it, be it signed by the manufacturer or not.

I hope that clears things up for you.

EDIT: Just to add, as some people find this confusing; only stock firmwares (FTFs and anything extracted from them) are signed using that signature key.

From Where I Can Know That The Kernel Is Installed On the Phone ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] wind0zer:
Settings>About
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
[MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION]: Probably a dumb question but wouldn't it be good if the boot partition was erased before flashing?

It proved useful back in 2012, and Google's own (Nexus) update system still relies on it. Haven't checked elsewhere though.

I also noticed you're using this as the boot partition:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

as opposed to the "standard" /dev/block/mmcblk0pXX format, in our case this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

Any reason for that? I imagine the "standard" is more common for a reason, I just can't find one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Eracing boot is little dangerous and it's not needed for Xperia.

"by-name/boot" method is common now since it's symlink for actual boot partition (don't need to find XX number).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
Why would it be dangerous? o.o

It's not needed for any device really, I'm just asking if there are drawbacks of (not) erasing it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
I don't know if it will happens since I'm not Sony developer,

but when you erased boot but failed to flash boot, there is a risk of hard-brick.

Some people got hard-bricked when they flash newer Android version's stock kernel on older Android version,

so something is watching kernel (boot) and we should avoid unnecessary thing.

Flashing boot without erasing is enough.

See "11." of this guide:

Ok, guys. I tried every option on every forum and none of them worked so here I am.

I unlocked and rooted my nexus 4 using the Wugfresh toolkit v 1.9.3. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to flash Cyanhacker ROM and kernel at the same time. I factory reset my phone before doing that (wiped dalvik/cache etc.). In TWRP, it said everything was successful, however I got stuck in a bootloop and when I tried to factory reset again, I accidently wiped my OS as well (i know... i am a retard:cyclops:). Now I can only go in fastboot and TWRP.Now, I tried to use Wugfresh toolkit to Flash Stock + Unroot while being in fastboot, but it states that "Fastboot device was not found". Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LainX:
First of all check you have fastboot driver install for your Nexus 4.

After that, you can try to reboot again in bootloader and from fastboot command line write "fastboot devices".

If your device appear you can reimage your stock image.

If you could load TRWP recovery, from it you can use install from sideload to "reinstall" again the original or modify custom rom.
