Volume up boots the latest TWRP, volume down boots the same "Android Recovery" you mentioned. I'm kinda confused which one is FOTA now...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
Okay, now I am getting a picture here:

Sony phones have the recovery-in-boot setup, so you cannot install a custom recovery, because there is no separate recovery partition.

But Custom ROMs can use the Firmware OTA (FOTA) partition, since it's only used by Stock ROMs.

If I understand correctly, LineageOS comes with the "Android Recovery" as a minimal recovery in-boot solution and TWRP in FOTA.

What I didn't know was that FOTA is an actual, writeable partition that allows you to update the TWRP as you would on a regular phone.

The storage access errors my TWRP was giving me stemmed from it being a buggy version that I didn't update, because I thought I could not do that without futzing with the boot image.

After I used TWRP's internal update to bring it to 3.1.1, I still had to manually select the new ROM image (autoupdate doesn't work), but it went through without problems.

So, I guess you also use FOTA Recovery on your phone and never knew :)

Great ROM !

Thanks for actual Android on Xperia ZL !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Edwrib:
Hello, please:

So, if we use fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-odin.img like are in official lineage site, will soft-brick the device? The correctly is we need to flash this modded boot (and to boot partition, not recovery), that contains the TWRP?

Or oficial build worked out to get TWRP working in recovery partition?

[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
I don't know.

If your device is still on stock ROM, it should not be possible to flash TWRP to recovery, because stock Xperia phones do not have an available recovery partition (-> recovery-in-boot configuration) to use as the flash target.

You should have to flash a boot.img from the custom ROM of your choice, which supports extracting the FOTA partition, and then you can flash any recovery to the FOTA partition.

I know that when you flash the boot.img from LineageOS you can use the minimal, inbuilt "Android Recovery" to install Lineage without having to flash TWRP.

TWRP can be flashed to the FOTA recovery either via ADB or Terminal Emulator app inside Lineage (Link)

I think the LOS guide is not accurate and I don't know who to contact to get the faulty instructions off the internet.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kran007:
I just want some clarification. I just installed lineage and its my first time in this rom, iskip installing addonsu since it think it have recovery like cyanogen recovery but finding out it has stock.

So the question is. If i can managed to install twrp using either terminal app by pushing it to fota, adb fastboot or twrp app. How can i access it, by holding down volume down or up? Just to clarify.

Also, can i alternate the addonsu by using magisk v14 and get also root privilage, or addonsu then flash magisk?

Thanks. I think this rom is awesome. I just flashed back to stock rom since it tried adb fastboot an twrp image for odin but cannot go to custom recov, finding out the img was corrupted. But i give another try this rom and looking forward for 15 for oreo update ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
Don't you need a recovery that allows you to flash any ROM first before you can a custom Android image or does the Sony stock recovery allow you to flash any ROM?

Volume UP is for FOTA recovery, Volume down is for the standard recovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kran007:
I have Dual-Nut Recovery installed in my stock LP rom. Yes, i read that you should flash first the boot.img from lineage zip. I skip that. Well, i will try again to flash twrp and make sure it wasn't corrupted. Up for FOTA, thanks anyway.
[Sony Xperia ZL] polmerm:
Thanks Daedroza and team developers

The rom is great and i use daily

Did an upgrade to latest build 20171201 last night. Went through without problems until my phone crashed.

After reboot the android has reset itself and started the first time setup again. All my settings have been lost.

Is anyone else encountering this problem too?
[Sony Xperia ZL] poamber:
Nope. How did you update? Clean or dirty?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
Sorry, I forgot to mention I was coming from LOS 14.1 build 20171124, the second to latest image, and I used TWRP 3.1.0 in FOTA.

I am pretty sure I did not order TWRP to wipe data if that's what you mean by dirty flashing.
[Sony Xperia ZL] poamber:
I was on 20171124 also. By dirty flashing I mean that you don't format /system, /cache and /dalvik-cache in TWRP before updating. It's always better to format them (and before that do a backup in TWRP) and then flash.

I hope you did a backup :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
Well.. the good news is that my personal data was still intact, I just lost all the android settings like accounts, ringtones, choice of background image.

Should I always format system, cache and dalvik then or do I lose the Android System settings again when I do that? I assumed they would be stored in data.
[Sony Xperia ZL] esgwpl:
Is there any way to download old versions? Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links runs better on the unofficial builds and (I think) the early official builds, I tried the latest version (lineage-14.1-20171208-nightly-odin-signed.zip) and the game is still quite slow.

[Sony Xperia ZL] HandleX:
Yes, call recording doesn't work for me too, last nightly build at 03.03.2018.

System dialer recorder and third-party app (ACR recording) records silence.

ACR recording works perfectly with any original SONY ROM for odin.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
I'm actually also on 3.3.2018 RR rom

what I did is, used Aroma to replace some of the stock apps

and I cannot live without Viper4android,

So far, I can record calls with callx named app, but if I insert my Earphones, I cannot record incoming audio, turning off Viper4A enables me to record Audio in Low Volume of opposite party

I think Rom Devs cannot help neither call record app devs, probably, contacting Viper4Android devs may help maybe.

but I can record calls normally on RR without Earphone
[Sony Xperia ZL] Daedroza:
Call Recording did worked fine for me on 14.1 & 15.1 based on recent test.

I'd m4a audio extension selected as output to be generated, and all of my calls were correctly recorded.

I haven't tested with headphones / earphones yet.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HandleX:
I've got Xperia ZL (odin) with latest lineage-14.1-20180331-nightly-odin-signed.zip installed.

System dialer records silense. Any external call recording application doesn't work.

I can't record audio anyway, "callx named app" doesn't too.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madmanmoose:
Got my h901 14 months ago. It's rooted, and the bootloader is unlocked; and, aside from the documented battery-life issues, its been a terrific smartphone for me.

This evening, it started bootlooping. I was able to get into the menu long enough to go into TWRP, and do a factory reset. It booted up alright, and started to re-load Android. Partway through the process, the screen turned black. Couldn't get it to come back with double tapping/ tried holding down the Power button to get the power menu...no luck there/pulled the battery, and held the Power button until it started up. However, it went past the LG splash screen to the 'Your device software can't be check for corruption' screen. It hangs at that screen...and, after about 60 seconds, turns off.

I did the manual boot into Recovery, and got to the 'Factory data reset' screen. When it asked me 'Delete all user data...' on two consecutive screens, I answered 'yes' both times (using the volume buttons for up/down, and the power button to execute). After that, it went back to the 'Your device software can't be check for corruption' screen. It hangs at that screen...and, after about 60 seconds, turns off.

Is the phone bricked, fried or something else un-fixable? I have the full insurance/coverage from T-Mobile...so, I can get it replaced. But, I'd rather fix it myself, if this is possible.

Thanks, in advance for your help!

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jass65:
Replace it if you can.Especially if you have all your data backed up.The V10's days are numbered, i assume from the symptoms your listed that your phone is gone into the dreaded bootloop.It's hardware failure! The fact that it suddenly shut off, booted part way and suddenly died only to keep crashing at the warning screen leads me to think it is indeed done. you can confirm if it is a hardware failure by putting the phone in the freezer for 15-20 min.If it boots and works for a while and shuts off (confirmed hardware failure).Even if it does end up working, its better to just get a replacement better yet a more reliable phone.As i said all V10's have their days numbered

because the fixed shop can not confirm it. you know it is normal in china.

i didn't changed the mainboard in official manufacturer. the price is very expensive. so i changed a used mainboard.

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jimmythefung:
Hi all,

I am new to the BLU R1 HD scene. Just got my phone this week. It's a amazon prime variant with firmware v7.4.2 (or v7.2.4?).

I got twrp installed and wiped everything through TWRP, including the internal storage - which removed my only NANDroid backup image.

My phone would freeze at the startup BLU logo now. But I could still enter recovery mode (TWRP). And I could still see the TWRP folder from my Ubuntu (which shows as a internal storage drive)

What should I do? Is there a way to flash it back to stock ROM? Where can I download a stock rom?

I am in panic mode now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
take it easy . sounds like you wiped /system too. but that is ok since you still have access to twrp

take a rom from here

https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/development/modified-8-3-stock-rom-t3602672

copy it to the phone (internal storage) as seen from your ubuntu.

boot to twrp and select install, browse to the zip file copied to internal
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jimmythefung:
Oh my god that's good to hear! (especially from someone who knows his stuff!)

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jimmythefung:
It fixed my phone just as you said! The v8.4 rom is even better with higher level security update. Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Once you have twrp installed, you can recover from most things that go wrong.

One exception is when people do a "wipe all" and erase the phone's MEID unique identification. When that happens, the phone can boot and work but can no longer be connected to a phone service provider's network.

And the more common problem with this phone is people who accept an over-the-air update that disables SP Flash Tool and then want to get root or flash their phones. They are out of luck at that point.

Android Version: 5.1.1

Baseband Version:

MSM8909.LA.1.1.c7.1-113370119-

TWRP Flashable Stock Baseband Installer

GUIDE

The purpose of this thread is to provide members both the instructions and the resources to flash their AT&T Alcatel Ideal (4060A) with the stock baseband (modem/radio) firmware. This procedure could be warranted in situations whereas the device has no signal, poor signal, diminished data connectivity, or any other situation adversely affecting the telephony of the device. I have compiled a TWRP flashable zip installer which will flash the modem & radio partitions back to stock factory condition, as well as reset the device network configurations back to factory default.

UPDATE: In the download link below is v2 of my baseband installer. This version has been optimized for domestic roaming. Also, I have tweaked the installer to fully reset all network configs to factory default, thus your device may commence with cellular activation upon reboot.

DISCLAIMER

As always, flashing the partitions of your device involves an inherent risk of bricking or otherwise rendering your device inoperable. I have fully tested this zip installer and have experienced no adverse effects. Nonetheless, I am not responsible if this bricks or damages your device. Follow the instructions carefully, however, and things should go smooth.

INSTRUCTIONS & REQUIREMENTS

First of all, you must have TWRP custom recovery installed on your device in order to use this zip installer. If you do not have TWRP installed, search XDA Forums for the thread on how to install it.

1. Download the 4060A_Baseband.zip file from the below link and save it either to internal storage or to your external micro SD card;

2. Boot your Alcatel Ideal into TWRP recovery;

3. Select "INSTALL" from TWRP's main screen then navigate to the storage location of the zip you downloaded. Swipe and commence with installation;

4. When TWRP indicates the installation is complete, reboot system.

Your Modem & Radio Firmware (Baseband) should now be restored to stock factory condition.
