[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzantozz:
I've got an AT&T HTC One M7. It's non-rooted and has stock firmware. Android updates from AT&T are installed when pushed. It's all pretty routine. As of yesterday evening, this phone started rebooting and won't stop.

If I leave it alone, it vibrates (normal startup notification), goes to the green on white "htc" screen for a few seconds, then goes blank and starts over. I can get to the bootloader screen, and I've gotten it to start in safe mode as well, but it always restarts again within a few seconds.

Things I've done/found:

- Holding down the volume down button while it restarts takes me to the bootloader menu, but the buttons don't seem to work correctly when I get there, and it always restarts again within a few seconds.

- I managed to start it in safe mode a few times--I think by holding volume up and volume down at the same time--but it restarted before I could do anything.

- I removed the SIM card. Same thing.

- I let it reboot until it died. As soon as I plugged it in, it started the same thing again.

I'm starting to think it's hardware failure, like the power button is constantly making contact, even though the button feels fine to the touch. Note that I get to the bootloader just by holding the volume down button. I don't have to touch the power button. I'm not certain whether that's normal. Can anyone give me any ideas or even just verify that it seems like a hardware problem?

Hey [MENTION=5258151]drakonizer[/MENTION] i tried to flash the recovery bit I'm facing a black screen after rebooting in recovery. I'm on cm12.1 with m5kernel 11.2. I probably did something wrong but what?... I only flashed the recovery
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pokepokepoke:
Will 4.4 as primary work
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
You should have flashed the TA update to enable booting directly to recovery. If not, the recovery won't work. Booting into recovery only works using the hardware button combo, and not from Android/adb.

It should, but I haven't tried.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] benplay64:
So I have to flash stock ROM before?? If yes my device will wait before having multirom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
You'll have to either flash latest stock completely out flash the TA update from the general section
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] benplay64:
So I can only flag the TA update with flash tool over cm?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
Yes. It should work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] benplay64:
Thanks you're the boss I will try it now
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
Updated recovery and multirom zip added with support for Android Nougat and custom stock kernels. Please try and report.

Also, OP has been updated. Looks like Multirom is pretty stable for daily use now. I personally tried it with N as primary and LP as secondary and it worked like a charm.

If users of amami/togari want me to port it for their devices, please PM me so that I can send you test builds. Once I deem them to be stable, I will open threads for them.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LinkRaf:
Friend, i am a little lost, but i need to do that. I need 5.1 for daily use and 6.0 for tests

I am feeling lost because i know how to use twrp to backup, restore, flash zips.... the basic. I am right now using 6.0 Ressurrection Marshmallow rom, with RRemix@Ubuntu 16.04#1 kernel.

I read but i am from brazil and my english isnt the best ones, thats why i am lost. My idea, is, use as primary the 5.1 rom to daily use... but i am lost HOW to start, what kernel should i use...

Please, can you help?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
Okay, I will describe it in detail once more, and hopefully this will be the last time.

-> You can have any ROM as primary, but 5.1 is preferred if you want touch screen support in the multirom menu (the OS choice menu).

-> Flash the latest TA update that enables the recovery partition. The thread is available in the general section.

-> Download the latest multirom recovery from the downloads section

-> Download the latest multirom zip

-> Flash the recovery using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

-> Boot into recovery using POW+VOL DOWN and use it to flash the multirom zip you downloaded earlier.

-> Enter the multirom menu by tapping the icon on the top right corner of the recovery home screen.

-> Follow the menu to install your secondary ROM.

-> Once that's done, reboot, and you should see the multirom menu pop up

If you still didn't understand, there are multiple guides and videos on the internet. The process is pretty much similar for all devices, so you don't have to look for Xperia Z1 exactly.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LinkRaf:
Thank you for your time! I appreciate it. Two last questions. There will be difference between primary or secundary boot? as performance?

and if i want just to install the second boot ( keep the ressurrection marshmallow as primary) it can be done too?

Thank you and sorry
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
The only difference would be boot time.

Yes, you can use MM as primary, but touch on the multirom menu will not work and you'll have to use the volume buttons and power button to move and select.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] monnett:
Hallo . Can i use this on stock base?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
It should, no reason not to....why don't you try and tell me?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] monnett:
:D iam sorry . But i faced problem when flashing twrp on adb its say "too large":rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
Sorry about that...it should be fixed now. Please re-download multirom-twrp-honami-02112016.img from the downloads section and try again.

Thanks!

Friend, i am still on MM Rom, 6.0 with the same kernel, now i want to make the lollipop as my secundary boot

i flashed the twrp of multiboot via fastboot mode. I´ve turned on my z1 (power + volume down) (Could see the new twrp menu) In the INSTALL option, flashed the zip file of multiboot. After that ( i did not reboot my devce) on the addRom menu, installed a lollipop rom (that i know that works with the same kernel as my MM rom)

but it starts the install thing and get a status FAILED and erase an incomplete rom... something like this. .. and i cant install it.... i´ve tested two different lollipop rom... am i missing something?

Hi all as the title says Is there multi-language Official/Custom rom for GALAXY S5 sprint SM-G905P???
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Hi,

long story short: I connected my Z5C to a bad (apparently, I don't want to test :( ) charger and now I have some strange issues. Is there any change that my h/w isn't fried?

Full story: As I said I connected my Z5C (newest CyanogenMod provided here) to a charger and it instantly did a hard reset. Afterwards it did turn on and continued to work for some time. As I was on the road at that time I could not charge it elsewhere and later that day it ran out of power. When I tried to charge it with a known good charger some days later, it did not boot. I suspect the boot process to healthd or whatever draws this cool animation takes more power than my working but small charger provided.

It did charge at my laptop, especially when I put it into fastboot mode.

Now thats where I am stuck; the phone won't turn off completely and keeps rebooting when I turn it off (via os menu or hard reset, no chance).

I can charge it after it runs out of power (managed to charge to 100%), but it won't charge if I unplug and replug it. It is not recognised by a pc after I reconnect it one or two times (checked with device manager and lsusb), only chance to get to fastboot or flash mode again is drain the battery to 0%. It does show a loading animation and I can boot into android from there. Battery drain in Android seems to be a little higher than usual (100 to 0 after 2 1/2 days of pure standby without any radio stuff on).

I have already reflashed the original Sony firmware and erased everything that came to my mind (cache, data....).

Any hope that I did not kill some piece of hardware? :confused:

Thanks for your answers, any help appreciated
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
tell me more about your z5c's software, why you mentioned Cynogenmod? did you flash it with cynogenmod?

seems to me that z5c was running on custom rom and did not support fast chargers and bricked your device!

if that so, try flashing it using flashtool with original stockrom.

i don't wana go in to details however there is possiblity that battery.sys file is corrupt and atleast I was never able to fix my LT18i when it got bricked and battery status use to become zero in 2 seconds and android keep rebooting, later it got silent for good! no charge no nothing and i still have the device sitting. I was running it on coconut (cynogenmod) when all this happened!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Thanks for your reply.

The charger was no kind fast charger, just a common 12V to USB adapter with an output of 800mA (when it worked). I was running CM 13 when I connected it to the bad charger, but as I mentioned I have since then reflashed it with Stock ROM. No real improvement.

I have continued trying and I found out that the device seems to believe it is still connected via usb.

cat /sys/class/power_supply/usb/present

gives me "1" with nothing connected, can you check if this is normal?

The file is -rw-r-- r--, would changing its value change anything or is it just some kernel thing (can't check, don't have root permissions now as I flashed Stock ROM)?

Also after I charged it on my PC today it still shows me the notifications for USB connection and adb (I can add a screenshot if necessary), also looks like it still believes to be connected.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
It seems I found the solution: I was playing a bit with a USB-OTG adapter (the ones to connect regular usb devices like keyboards or storage to your phone). After I connected a USB keyboard I tried (just for fun) if the Linux "Magic" SysRq hotkeys were enabled. So I did press Alt-Print-o, which is the Linux hotkey for "turn off now". It did not turn off, it also stayed off (no instant reboot). After I started the phone again it also properly turned off via the power menu!

I will have to test whether the charging issues are fixed, too, but as far as I can tell the problem seemed to be something software-related :D :D :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Sadly did not work for long. I think I will go for official repair, think this is still cheaper than buying a new phone (after completely killing it with some DIY "repair" attempt). This annoying brick simply does not turn off, no matter what I do (apart from draining battery to 0%). Guess its my fault, still to afraid to try that broken charger again.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
The good stuff: https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_lge_msm8996/commits/android-7.0

Fork it!

Update: CAF branch has some problems at the moment, use this one instead for now.

So this is currently the v10d release. It's compatible with V20 Nougat v10d and G5 v20a.

Place toolchain (pick one up from here) in ~/build/toolchain & tar xf.

git clone https://yourname@github.com/yourname/android_kernel_lge_msm8996.git

If you want to change any config options:

./menuconfig.sh (optional target, ex. twrp or lge)

Ready?

./build.sh h850/h830/h918/us996/any model you want

Models are applied onto the target base defconfig, so your V20 kernels will build for all V20 variants and for all variants of the G5 as well.

Create your own by copying arch/arm64/configs/lge_defconfig to arch/arm64/configs/your-awesome_defconfig!

Grab:

build/arch/arm64/boot/Image.lz4-dtb [or] build/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz-dtb

build/lib/modules

Place in:

https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher/tree/kernel-flasher

make

You got yourself a magical all-powerful custom kernel installer, complete with your own custom kernel!

Notice that there's a few branches:

opensource is where I merge LG changes, when it's updated, android-7.0 is rebased on it

android-7.0 is a starting off point closest to absolute stock, base off here

android-7.0-security adds security and bug fixes from CAF on top of android-7.0 branch

twrp-7.0 is for Team Win Recovery Project (yes, it's ready, come with an unlocked device and I'll give it to you)

nethunter-7.0 is for the Kali NetHunter project (if you dare, some fun there)

Another issue was their weird build system, I dropped that. Replaced tuxera's exFAT prebuilt downloader with Samsung's GPL'd exFAT drivers instead. Unsure how well it works replacing it like that, we'll have to see.

I also added Qualcomm's Core Control which they just released the sources to somewhat recently. I believe it's already included on the G5 and probably V20 as a kernel module. Their released version doesn't have module support yet but it's fairly easy to add I guess with the leaked proprietary module version out there to pick pieces from.

Have fun!

I've been following the root process since the beginning and I'm amazed at the relatively short amount of time it took. Huge kudos to [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]! I will purchase this phone.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Hey guys so I did get a kernel booting but not yet one built from CAF sources so it'll take a bit of work to figure out why.

There seems to be a couple occurrences of null pointer dereferences in early boot stage in both stock release and this CAF. Currently investigating (or trying to anyway, it's hard to find people that can flash my test builds and report back with logs - I do not own this phone)

two things. Did you figure out how to compile boot.img or are you flashing the zimage? also hit me up on hangouts I've been wanting to dive into this device just looking for someone else to colaberate with.

EDIT: sent email in PM
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
I can compile it and flash it. There seems to be an issue with the sources LG has provided regarding display drivers. It seems any attempts at a stock kernel build results in a messed up screen once you hit the lock screen. I assume this has something to do with 2D graphics firmware and kernel framebuffer driver badly interacting. These sources are for v10b firmware, while the device appears to ship with v10d. I don't know if LG made any changes since then that could have caused this issue.

FYI the sources up right now are not my CAF merge, I had to move it to (same url but with -caf on the end) - I still have some issues to work out with the CAF merged sources (they aren't booting for whatever reason - not even TWRP).

It could take me a while to work on this as I still don't and likely never will own this device due to my lack of trust when it comes to LG. :)

Wondering if anyone can help me learn how to do this right...

So I was able to compile the kernel, but I didn't get an Image.gz (which im sure is fine). I did get an Image.lz4, Image.lz4-dtb, and Image (no extension). I figure only the .lz4* files are needed. I added all 3 to the lazyflasher, and ran make. The resulting zip flashed, but sent me straight to Bootloader. I then tried to fix by flashing the stock kernel, but this still did not boot. ReFlashed my ROM and it's booting now.

I used this toolchain gcc-linaro-5.3.1-2016.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu

Any guidance? My guess is it's flashing at the wrong point?

Here is the ZIP. DO NOT FLASH. This is only for someone who knows what they are looking at to tell me what is wrong with it. No modifications were done. Source was forked from OP, and compiled with default menuconfig, then build.sh h918

Hi there,

I am a newbie to the Sony Androids however not new to ROMs, unlocking and such like having been using HTCs since the G1.

Following the great guides on here I have been able to backup my TA data, unlock my bootloader, and flash a custom kernel. However despite flashing the TWRP image I have been unable to access recovery on my device.

I have used both the adb reboot recovery method and the pressing volume down at the orange light on start method. In both instances the screen goes black, the LED flashes red a couple of times and then the device reboots again.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks,
