Did you unlock your bootlader before flahsing this kernel?

[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] maybe you can help him.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
You asked what I would ask.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] r34c7:
You stopped me from buying a new phone. I use it with Existenz MM, great kernel, extreme improvements in battery life and i don't even use stamina, somehow this kernel stopped all the wakelocks. Really good performance, the phone is reactive and fluid at all times, it's better than brand new. Thanks, dev!!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sarry86:
I am trying to flash this but my led always blinks red, i have unlocked bootloader and i am on existenz please help
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Wrong command, make sure you use "fastboot flash boot <name_of_kernel>.img".
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sarry86:
It is a flashable zip bro, but even if i unzip and flash it using the command you provided, my pc won't see my phone other than on fllashtool
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Install adb and fastboot drivers.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sarry86:
Drivers are installed, flashtool detects my phone both in fastboot and flash mode so i guess the drivers are not the problem here :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
The drivers are only applicable in the fllashtool but not system wide, you have to install it system-wide or use the fastboot toolbox provided in flashtool.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sarry86:
Okay, that did the trick, is there anyway I can restore my TA without triggering my bootloader and ending up with bootloop?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Restoring TA = Relocking bootloader
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Reflashing stock doesn't help?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] SONiX-GERMANY:
Just playing around with my Z2. Did anyone had success with Magisk with this kernel? With stock .291 kernel there's no problem for me, but i can't get it to work with elite kernel. UB of course, and have a TA-backup of course. Solutions/feedback please. Thanks in advance! ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] xaser66:
Hello!

Thanks for your kind help, and please excuse me for my late reply.

I already fixed my phone by re-stocking and later go to Existenz MM. However I will go today to Existenz N.

By now , as far I could understand the EliteKernel V3 is not compatible with Existenz Nougat... or if may be, I would be very grateful if may be some clarification.

Thanks again and best regards to all.

Hello!

I would like to thank You for take time to reply in help and I appreciate that. I already fixed my phone and now I may be will be testing for Existenz Nougat, but as far I may understand, the EliteKernel is not compatible with Existenz Nougat, or if may could be, I would be very gratefull for some clarification.

Thanks for kind attention and best regards.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. There is no existenz Nougat ROM.

2. OP is working on an Nougat compatible kernel. No ETA.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shrazy:
Is there any progress? The kernel runs fine but features like quick charge would be nice 2 have and I read that the developer has holidays. Just asking :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Info for all users:

As I said about a month or more, I will be working on new stuff for this kernel, but my laptop is broken (thanks for the ****ty UEFI implementation Samsung) my HDD was corrupted and I lost all of my work (also a looot of important files, personal files and university's works), first I decided to buy a Seagate Firecuda Hibrid disk of 2Tb, but after I said why not a new PC??, I buy an Acer Predator 15 with an i7 7700hq and nVidia GTX 1070, I will be back on development, I promise you ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aboodyaiman:
Sounds like builds will be compiled in matter of seconds :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] itsnie:
Superb pc btw but it's so sad because you lost university works too
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Thanks [MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] for your great works for Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tronjs.fs:
Can I flash this kernel on a Nougat ROM?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Yes you probably can. But that will give a broken device.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
No, you can't. Nougat ROM needs a Nougat kernel.

Haha just like that
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hafyzy:
Hope you will come back soon with new feature for this kernel . i like your kernel :D :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Someone uses this kernel on MIUI 8?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ashieve666:
help

how to use this kernel, im new on z2, please give step how to use, or give me what pages to see how to use this kernel, thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ch3mn3y:
You have to be on stock or stock based rom. Have unlocked bootloader. Than You can flash with Fastboot (or Flashtool). That's it.

Sent using D6503 - Resurrection Remix/RR N
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ashieve666:
How to flash via flashtool?

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

"Bootloader unlock allowed: no"

It mean i cant unlock bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Chronic2k13:
Yes! You can't
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Ask your carrier for unlock keys.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Hi dear users, I need testers for Quick Charge 2.0 (I need users with QC 2.0 charger and unlocked bootloader.)

Contact me on telegram ShadowElite117
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
I've 3.0 charger. And Unloacked Bootloader. And i can test as I dont use my phone much, have OP5.

But, Im on RR riht now. Dk what OS you need testers for?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fadhlanisatria:
I want to test it. but I am not using telegram. what to do?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Bad news: My Z2 died [MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION] [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION]

Please contact me here for the QC 2.0 test
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Sorry to hear that! I will be back home soon and update you on my findings;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Too bad bro. It died because of test version of the kernel or was it something else.

Btw you can also use telegram on web.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
[MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION] [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] Kernel is safe, I discovered that the battery is disconnected, I send my phone to a certified sony center for revision, in some days they will tell me the cost of the fix, maybe I request a new battery for my Z2 (I need it for more years)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] yatin_abc:
I'm sorry for your lost...

Will you still release newer kernel for Z2A? I hope to have a chance let Z2A upgrade to 7.X ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
I'd like to test too. Kind a beta tester, not an alpha tester haha

===============================================

Is it for MM or N?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Stock MM 6.0.1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
So I'd like to contribute by testing this kernel about reliability and stability.

Has it TWRP integrated?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes for v3, otherwise for other builds.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
Why i lost my root on New miui 8
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Who said this kernel is compatible to MIUI?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VinBenzin810:
Nobody say it is compatible Nobody say it isnt compatible. This kernel is for Stock Rom. 291. Or for Roms that is based on. 291 if i be wrong so tell me. One Version before the niewst one from miui root Works peferktly

I just wanna ask if this Problem is Rom releated Or kernel releated.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
I was meaning about the new [MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] 's version

==================================================================

With current "half support" through that [MENTION=856195]Jackos[/MENTION] 's zip the charging current reach 1700 mAh.

That's great, but I'd like to get more from QC 2.0.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Quick Charge 2.0 open test

Hi dear users, here is a TEST kernel for QC 2.0, It don't have more features, so just flash it if you will test QC 2.0

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx1QvE4qnmn6UWNlMVp3Slg0cTg

Please report me feedback.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Can you add the latest TWRP ? 3.1.1-0
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Flash it manually bro.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I tried but somehow it still shows the older one
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Press Vol- and Power button when powered off. DO NOT press button to enter it when the green light is on. That's a system located TWRP...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Thank you :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Support only stock rom?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Anyone tested QC ?

Is it working?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Bootloop on existenz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Known issue, a fix is on the way afaik.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manicdepresiff:
Does Elite kernel v3 support drm fix? And how can i load this kernel to drm fix work?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
DRM fix is patched by default, in no ways you can deactivate it nor activate it. It just simply exist.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Any idea why battery % gets stuck for a while on 100%?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
It doesn't gets stuck. Its the way sony design batteries. It shows 100 for quite long time. And then drain a Little Faster to compensate.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Oh!!! That explains a lot
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Or you can recalibrate it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I tried. It seems that it's pretty normal, gets stuck on 100 for a while then drops rapidly then it's okay
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Disable soft charge
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Battery care?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] djgigi94:
Yes, the option in phone info, status
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
This battery care?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
No battery care.

He probably want to say "charging optimisation". Go to "about phone" - "status" and disable "charging optimisation" (if you have this option enable).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I disabled it and now my phone shows the real battery percentage and doesn't get stuck on 100% :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
Well, for me that little stuck on 100% felt better on Sony. :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
So here it is, EliteKernel v4 with QuickCharge 2.0 support for stock Sony ROM 23.5.A.1.291.

Instructions:

Flash both zips inside TWRP and from now on enter recovery by powering off the device then press Vol- with Power button.

Device tested on:

Xperia Z2 D6503

Xperia Z2 D6502

Kernel version: 3.4.113
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Firstly, thank you very much for your work. We appreciate it.

Is QC2.0 the unique feature?

And what is the charging time?

Using [MENTION=856195]Jackos[/MENTION] zip for QC2.0, I'm getting up to 1700 mAh. According USB Doctor, 9.2V~1A.

Would be nice reach 9.14V~1.5A as he got.

Can somebody try that zip?

It's here: Qc- 2.0 HACK (charge your z2 from empty to 100% in 120 minutes)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [B]lack[S]hadow:
what's different from the two versions above?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Maybe twrp
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [B]lack[S]hadow:
oh i see, one of which is TWRP
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Bootloop yet again
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Fuilares:
And how is battery life after this tweak?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] d22ad2:
Pretty much same as without it but responsibility is better. (I hit 4-5 hours sot anyway)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Physick:
Working on z2a :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Thank you for your report, all is working on Z2a??

And DRM fix?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] freaky2xd:
I`d really appriciate to see more updates maybe with QC 2.0 battery saving features

is it possible to integrate the "Dontbelive XPERIA X Performance StereoMod V17 MM (Z2/Z3/Z3C/Z3 Tablet)" into the kernel? or at least some sound features for more bass and volume?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mohoram:
I tried for a few days the kernel, battery well, but does not inject the drms, I have bootloader desbloquedo, I tried to clean install rom existenz 4.0, but when I look in the service menu and activated out with unknown error. translated with Google translator.

Z2 Mobil
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Physick:
Yeah everything is going well and the DRM fix work
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zBLacKy:
I really like this Kernel, keep going with your work Mate, you really got it with this Kernel :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fahim siam:
Does qc 2 0 work?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chax_84:
Sudden reboot when i choose 2.7 Ghz freq
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
This mean that the 2.7Ghz step needs more voltage
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] supercfc:
The procedure to flash this is like any other kernel only right?

directly flash in recovery or extract the boot.img & flash via fastboot?

If yes, then why this?

"Can I flash over Abricot v8.1?

It seems that flash over Abricot creates bugs and bootloops so make a clean install and enjoy my work"

What do you mean by clean install? Factory reset?

Please help.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Well try and report, some users says that it don't work so try and tell me
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] supercfc:
Okay Thanks :)

But clean installing a ROM (factory resetting) is okay.

What is the need to clean install a kernel? Just clearing kernel settings of apps like kernel auditor etc & then flashing kernel should be okay right?

Asking just for getting info & updating my knowledge. Please don't mind :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
[MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] hey man, your kernel looks sweet I must say!

But I'm hesitant to use it because I don't wanna miss all those features if you don't update it haha.

Are you planning on releasing updated versions in the future?

Thanks for the effort you put in building it!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] saayil:
Flashing this Kernel gives me soft brick...my device is not going beyond sony logo and restarts
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] josenilsantana:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rubino25:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Fuilares:
Same for me, 2.7GHz restart my phone :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] yenero:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [B]lack[S]hadow:
try to flash the existenz rom then flash the kernel after it
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] would be nice your kernel go to top of thread, or to a new

I guess your work deserves more attention
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I'm on existenz right now
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
We know, but to reset modification purpose.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I'll try when I'm back home thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cristixperia:
No problem after flash last version in twarp.:)

But in this version I can't overclock CPU and don't find more governor's (like in V3),so this kernel is like stock. 291.:confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yeah, I have already suggested him to push a v4.1 with more features later time but seems he is busy atm.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [B]lack[S]hadow:
don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] aagea:
Elite kernel v4

Kernel elite v4 please
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Read.

Post.

575.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Quoclam851995:
could you please release v4 kernel for z3
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
this v4 is just a test version for QC 2.0

v4 will be released when it is a true update.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Is it possible to use magisk with this kernel on pure stock rom and pass safetynet?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Why don't you try and report back? Don't always ask please...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I'm just asking because maybe someone tried that already, isn't that obvious :silly:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Trying it out yourself are always faster than asking for others here, don't forget this is a nearly 4 years old phone now, and the activeness of stock based things is really low...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] paijoe88:
This kernel v4 also include drm fix?because i look super vivid mode or x-reality on nothink change in sample photo,before i flash v3, i look A change in photo sample..

I'm Sorry my bad english
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Hi

Not asking for ETA but is any update coming? "When" doesn't matter...

No pressure.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raminta:
Version 4 released last week why you need new update???
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Post 587.

There is a bug in CPU adjustments.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Not being able to overclock is of no bug, but as intended. V4, as told by Shadow and I quote, "was to test the QC implementation and more features and governors will be added in the future", and a further note is that this process takes time and please wait patiently, thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] luqman@dr:
Hope for nougat rom based
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Gradually, hopefully, please be patient.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] shaozheng:
First of all, Sorry for my bad english.

Phone: Xperia Z2 D6503

Kernel: Elite Kernel v3

System: Offical 23.5.A.1.291 (UB)

BUG feedback:

1、Use Walkman to listening music(screen locked), it is unsmooth.

-- Set item "sony.effect.cpu_min_freq=600" in Build.prop, but it is not working.

-- Use "kernel Adiutor"set the CPU minimum frequency to 422Mhz, it is working, but bad battery life.

-- Try to turnoff the DSEE HX effect, it is working.

2、Progress name “sed” or "kswapd0" CPU usage 100% (just sometime).

I had to force shutdown my phone.

[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hai_Duong:
I got a problem with v4. I have Android 6 with the ROM MIUI and after the flash from v4 kernel my 64gb sdcard is broken on stock kernel my sdcard works without problems.

PS. other sdcards 16gb are working fine. Could it be that it only bugs on the 64gb sdcard?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
I have two 64Gb sdcards broken. Can we say 64Gb sdcards are more unstable? Maybe...

Let's wait for "official" v4.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
Again, this v4 was just a test version, not a release.

I have again my Z2 but it seems that the official service of sony here on Colombia put me a fake Z2 battery, because it just give me about 1.5 hours of SOT (and it is a "new original" battery), I will make a claim.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Most probably they put a cheap used battery which is nearly dying
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Stencelphoto:
Guys show you kernel adiutor settings for important sections please. I'm starting to learn how to set the best kernel auditor settings but I would see your settings for Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Bewildered Wolf:
This is not a kernel auditor thread. Please keep the questions related to Elite Kernel.

Also, find a kernel auditor thread and if you can't start you own.

Plus for the settings, different settings suits different person.

Try to find your own. Use google.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Can you disable Sony RIC at kernel level?

I tried disabling it via rootkernel but magisk still doesn't provide root or safetynet pass
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Samir2298:
Does the patched v12 magisk for Sony devices work on this kernel? I am talking about this one: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/patched-magisk-v12-sony-devices-t3582331
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
Doesn't pass safetynet thus no reason to use this version
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
I miss Magisk...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
You can use the newer version, only thing is that you have to patch it before it is going to work.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Sorry but can you give me the link?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kakakatq:
i have Ressurection Remix rom android 7.1.2

can i flash it normally or there 'll be problems !?

any one have the rom can answer please !-- ^_^
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ch3mn3y:
[MENTION=7628946]kakakatq[/MENTION]

This kernel is only for stock Marshmallow, You have AOSP Nougat, so there is no way to make both work together...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DahakePL:
I tried the patching method once and it only happened to work with advancedstockkernel
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manicdepresiff:
This is very good kernel. Thank you for effort!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
I just realised something.

With the stock kernel on stock MM ROM (.291) phone charges for much more energy at the same percentage levels. Something might be wrong with QC implementation.

With Elite Kernel (QC enabled) phone charges for 1976 mAh from 11% to 100%

With stock kernel (no QC) phone charges for 2092 mAh from 33% to 100%

Of course I wiped out battery statistics and did battery calibration, etc. (batterystats.bin)

For your attention.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
When at higher voltage, the recorded mAh is lower, but is equivalent to the larger but of lower voltage figure.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
So you mean it shows much less mAh because it's charging @9V instead of 5V? (normal charge)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes. Use the power bank as an example, it has a capacity of 10000mAh when 3.7V, but it further drops to a 2300mAh if it is driven at 12V.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Which charger do you use?

I never got a current like that
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] V4LKyR:
Acknowledged. That's so true. Never thought this way. :D

So I guess my battery is in good life?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
There should be some sorts of equation for this relation, you may want to check this out.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fatguy666:
Tried the v4 posted a few pages back on latest existenz. ROM booted first time, no bootloops, but guess exfat support is busted as it kept saying my sd card was corrupt - even after formatting I'd still get the same message.

Rolled it back to v3 and everything seems good. Just trying to tweak it a little to see if it'll run a bit cooler.

Thanks to all involved in this, I'll go back and press the buttons.
