[Paranoid Android Q&A] nicolargo:
Hi all,

PA 6.0.2 is installed on my OnePlus One and works like a (old) charm. I want to update it to PA 7.2.1.

Is it possible to make the update without loosing my data / applications (without a data wipe) ?

I also read that PA 7.2.1 is only compatible with ext4 partition. How can i check it and convert it if my partition is f2fs ?

Thanks !
[Paranoid Android Q&A] GuestK0061:
Twrp. Wipe. Advanced wipe. Repair system. Will show there. I dont think older phones are f2fs anyway. And yes you will have to clean install it
[Paranoid Android Q&A] GuestK0061:
No problem
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eagleeyetom:
Greetings!

I'd like to present a TWRP recovery for the Xperia X Compact. This release should work on Xperia X single and dual-SIM variant of the device. I am an owner of Xperia X, but some users reported that my recovery works just fine on its smaller brother.

DISCLAIMER:

I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device. You have been warned.

REQUIREMENTS

Unlocked bootloader

Working ADB and Fastboot (You can get the latest version through Android Studio or by visiting this site)

FEATURES

MTP support

ADB Sideload

Backups and restores almost every partition

Full SELinux support

Working encryption. You can access /data within recovery

USB-OTG

DOWNLOADS

INSTALLATION

Unlock the bootloader

Download the file

Put the following code in CMD/Terminal:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-kugo-*.img

//Replace * with the version you want to flash

Unplug the cable

Press

Volume Down + Power

to activate the recovery. When installed properly, the device should vibrate funnily, purple LED should appear and after a couple of seconds, you should see the TWRP screen.

Enjoy!

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] realtuxen:
it works perfectly! well can't say I tried all functions yet, but it certainly seems so. :)

thank you so much. finally a proper lastest version of twrp for XC that supports encryption on nougat.

btw. you have to flash it over fotakernel as described in OP. (hotbooting did not work. blank screen.)

I did try other regular X twrp versions with the same result in the past in hopes of finding something better, so the issue was likely the same since I hotbooted them too for a fast test. I guess that's what you get for being lazy. doh.

thanks again for posting it here.

Thanks for sharing brother

Working ⚒ perfectly on stock 7.0

no problem
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SXUsr:
Perfect, thanks. Only annoyance is that I can only reboot the system or power off now.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eagleeyetom:
That shouldn't work anyway. I can enable these flags if you want.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SXUsr:
For all I use the other options there's no need to go out of your way, but if you do make another for whatever reason having the options would be nice.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eagleeyetom:
It didn't work for me on X. I can enable them in the next version.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] trewelu:
What do you mean by hot booting? I did this to boot to twrp without installing and have no problem

fastboot boot twrp.img

Thanks for the twrp, with this I can make full backup before trying to update to 7.1 or 8.0 later :good:
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kekistaneerefugee:
MTP is not working in this version. Everything else is top notch, will test backup/restore a bit later and report back.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] realtuxen:
Exactly. I know hotbooting is not the best description, but you understood anyway. :)

Strange, I am not a flashophile so I usually just booted twrp this way after a upgrade with flashtool. When the phone was connected to the pc anyway.

But it only works for me with the androplus version, oshmoun's version won't boot that way either. It's not the first time I have talked odd twrp behaviour though, as another guy could not get the androplus one to work at all. I have no reason to doubt him, as this is pretty casual stuff.

I see you are still on MM, I have been on N since it came out and if I remember correctly I backed up ta just before N came out (exploit and N came out very close to each other), took the ota, and unlocked BL. So I performed all the 'fastboots' (better word? heh) on that and 7.1.1. Perhaps the bootloader changed someway? I have no idea.

Edit: if I learned to read properly the first time, you are NOT on MM (doh) but 7.0. Sorry and even more strange. Does MTP work for you? (see below)

---------- Post added at 20:00 ---------- Previous post was at 19:58 ----------

MTP works absolutely fine here..
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eagleeyetom:
This version uses Sony init, so you can see the Sony screen and led indicator while entering the recovery mode. I'm not planning to change it before creating an official TWRP.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] realtuxen:
Is this in response to something functional, or just general cosmetics info? Doesn't the sony screen origin from the bootloader? How should a official twrp look while booting it? I get the sony boot and led then the TWRP boot image, isn't that normal when booting fotakernel replaced by TWRP? ie. the bootloader handles it when turning the phone on while holding vol down.

An official version would sure be nice. I more than appreciate what you already done. So just take your time. :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] trewelu:
Strange, I don't have problem booting twrp without installing for either of twrp.

I'm on 7.0. I tried to update to 7.1, but I don't get signal if I do the ta_poc + tobias drm fix method, and the drm is still marked as broken.

I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] realtuxen:
Why are you running it through both ta_poc and Tobias rootkernel with drm fix?

Either you use ta_poc to mount your ta backup from before the bootloader was unlocked thereby bringing the whole trim area back including drm.

Or you use Tobias rootkernel to fix or 'emulate" drm.

Both tools can disable dm verity, sony ric, etc. there is no reason (other than likely creating trouble) to run the kernel image though both tools?!

If you for example run a boot.img with drm fix through ta_poc it will remove the drm fix first. So I imagine things could go wrong of you apply drm fix again (if that is what you're doing) after using ta_poc.

Lol I hate it general too, it can come in handy when only twrp is booted though. I am not sure I have any drivers installed either. Regardless I can access a drive resembling my phone labeled 'mtp device' in 'my computer' when I boot twrp.

Edit: sorry for sidetracking the thread a bit.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dohanin:
Thanks! and i can confirm that USB OTG works well.

Working on Sony Nougat

This is the only TWRP I can decrypt my data with on Sony Nougat Stock ROM, Thanks !
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SXUsr:
Using both tools stems from users reporting they had to to get Magisk to work.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ondrejvaroscak:
There was an info in one of threads, that you should get the stock kernel first through TA_POC and then through kernel repack tool. If you did not, it would work, but occassionally reboots. I am now on 7.1.1 build 206 with Genesis Kernel 1.05 (no_DRM patch version) and it works ok.

As for TWRP, thanks for this! It works ok. Can not fastboot it, must be flashed in recovery parition, but no deal for me. Only thing that I wonder, there are options to backup system, data etc, but not Internal SD (/data/data). Why?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] manuel1496:

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingweee:
Can anyone pass safetynet checks on N2G48B? I just did an absolutely fresh install of the stock images from https://developers.google.com/android/images, then setup my Pixel C as a new device and downloaded "SafetyNet attest".

I fail the test with "CTS profile match: false".

Could it be caused by the fact that I have an unlocked bootloader? My device is not rooted (fresh install) and I can't download the netflix app.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Logi_Ca1:
Voltage control has been a thing in the past, allowing us to undervolt the CPU and save power. I notice that this hasn't been a feature in custom kernels since the Snapdragon 820 days. Has Qualcomm locked this down?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
On the new processors..like sd820 or 821....is not more efficient....

That's why the developers they dont use it anymore...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] weter11:
Who said, that it is impossible? Qualcomm didn't open source only GPU and modem drivers and some other proprietary stuff, but CPU and GPU voltage is possible to change. You only need to clone kernel on github (for example franco) and add commits from another Snap 820 kernel which add voltage table and changeable CPU voltage. Kernel adiutor works very good, at least latest version on market. Also it is possible to change GPU voltage, but I didn't find how to do that on modern GPUs, except compile kernel with some values, and wait would it boot or not. I'm also waiting when someone give its voltage table from that 10nm SoC, because on Anandtech no any article with it.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisterboy669:
I received the update through Nougat via LG bride. It was working well for about an hour and a half. Then it shut off. Went into the LG Bootup screen and never turned on again. Can't access recovery. Can't do anything. Basically a paperweight now. IDK what to do. I know the LG V10 has been known for boot loop and bricking issues, but it especially saddening when your phone isn't even covered under warranty anymore, don't have the money for a new flagship, and literally getting nougat after months of waiting because of stupid LG. Any suggestions on what I should do? Anything would be appreciated. :crying:
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jass65:
seems your update was successful, were you doing lots of heavy usage before it died? put in the freezer for 15-20 min to check if it is indeed hardware failure.if it boots and works for a while, then its hardware failure.This is just what i recommend trying, since it seems you haven't been tampering with anything and it suddenly shut off. do it at your own risk though.if it is hardware, call lg and tell them.i dont know i they will still honor it now but my device bootlooped and was 5 months over warranty period but they still said they would fix it for free.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
I think they are fixing now for 2 years. Can't hurt to give it a shot.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisterboy669:
So I used their website to request a repair and they gave me a shipping label with instructions. Does that mean it's free of charge? If not when do they tell me the price and when to pay them.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
You may have to pay to ship it to them, if it wasn't a free shipping label. That is what they do when the device is technically out of warranty. If there is any other charge they will email you before any work is done, and you provide some sort of payment. Then they ship it back.

Since this is a heavily covered issue, they will probably replace the main board the day they get it and send it the same day back to you free of charge. That is what I've seen in multiple threads for the V10.

I kind of wish my V10 would bootloop so I could get LG to replace my board....I feel mine is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisterboy669:
So they will for sure do it free of charge? Because i got emailed with the shipping label and instructions, but no word back yet on my comment I made on the LG website and if they will charge me or not. Should they notify me that I will be getting charged before I send the device in? Or should I call customer service and make sure that they don't charge me.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowdragon:
LG fixed my V10 AND my G4 free of charge after both units bootlooped. They'll let you know via email.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawaryc:
They will fix it and send it back to you free of charge. My V10 was out of warranty too and they still fixed it... Does not matter when you bought it, they will cover it. My phone died 2 weeks ago sent it immediately. Takes 2 weeks for them to swap out the motherboard and send it back. They have a fedex customer signature required obligation which delayed my shipment by 2 days since i was at work... I am still waiting for the Nougat update though.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jass65:
Not the case, while most of the time it is free and they will let you know upfront. Some people have recieved their repaired devices along with the service fee bill.

Nougat garbage

I at least had the use of my phone 4 a while before and acted up after that update 2 h901 30 C but I honestly never did really like nougat but as long as it was working I was okay. All of a sudden my phone restarted itself while I had it sitting on the charger and never booted all the way back up! When I try to do a factory reset that doesn't work it just stays on that screen and then before I even tried to do the factory reset this green screen came up that look like some type of system screen with real tiny black writing that I could barely see. But it's been a nightmare ever since and like you said not being under warranty is a real drag! I don't know why these idiots make these updates that they try to keep Developers from rooting and being able to make changes to in the first place! People should be able to do whatever they want to do with their phones and devices! I was able to flash the h 90130 c k deezy through LG up program but after about an hour if that the phone acts up again. So yes I truly truly feel your pain! So I'm looking for some help as well.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I no this is an Old Post but I'm just reading it because I just started having some of the problems listed above out the blue. I actually do not like the nougat update! It made a few things that were once easy more complicated and took more time and it clicks to get to where I wanted to be for simple stuff like changing the display off timer and having to pull down a second screen to get the stuff. Also now my phone has acted up since that h901 30 C update. So I'm beyond pissed all the way around.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] NeelKfrey:
Hello

I have a problem with my J710F(N) and a lot of custom rom on it

Everytime , custom rom send SMS to 919560345888

After checks on all custom rom , they use ODD CSC (India) ,

I think the SMS send come from the CSC

My question is : Can i flash my stock CSC (XEF) (extract from SmartSwitch) on a custom rom to wipe this problem ?

If yes , how to ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] rick.wardenburg:
You can extract stock csc from firmware it's in the cache.img.ext4
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] NeelKfrey:
Thanks , i have already do that ,

After that i just have to edit the rom system/csc and replace the old csc folder with the stock ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] rick.wardenburg:
Just delete an replace csc folder that's in the zip
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] NeelKfrey:
This is what I have already done ,

Now "Phone Info" say i use XEF CSC (Product Code : J710FZKNXEF and all XEF in "CODE CSC") , but the CSC version (Firmware) is still ODD

It does not matter ?

[MENTION=8430691]NeelKfrey[/MENTION]

How to check CSC Version?

Press *#1234# to gives u the CSC Version.

You can also change the change the Consumer Software Customization (CSC) if you found that it has been not set correctly.

Firstly you need to find the IMEI Code of your Phone

Press *#06# to get the IMEI and copy it down

Press *#272*IMEI# on the dial pad

Select the desire CSC

The device will reboot automatically(Possibly factory reset)

Edit: sorry misread post don't think this will work on custom rom has to be based on stock

[X Style (Pure) Android Development] Electricgary:
I just switched to this rom after being on Lineage for a long while. The setup was fast, worked perfect, and was very easy. So far everything works great. Chop for light works (although sometimes there is a delay) and so does the twist for camera. :) The only snag I have run into is that there was a quick random reboot when the flashlight was on. Other than that its been a really good start. I will update with any issues I have tomorrow. But so far so good. I love the nexus launcher!

Ok so I can say this the battery life is great. I had between 10% to 15% more battery at the end of yesterday then I usually have and that was a fairly normal day with a few extras. I have not had any more hiccups with the os. This is my new daily driver. It looks like it could be stock and everything seems to work. I don't require root because I like using Android Pay and I like Netflix. The best thing... It doesn't heat up in my pocket like LOS It all just works. Love it! Thank you for this rom.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] lucianogm:
This may happened to me because of having a very old battery, but I never got those "great battery life" results. They were awful. With heavy usage, i got 4hs of SoT and 6 hours of battery, that was pretty good. But on normal day to day usage, results were very, very bad. Most of the times I barely got to 2:30hs of sot and ~8 hours of battery life, and it drains fast. Guess I'll stick to good ol' and boring stock 6.0 :(
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] serkyky:
I really liked the ROM, it has very good performance, I do not drain the battery. I was thinking of installing a kernel, but I do not really see it as necessary. The only thing I did was root, and everything is fine. Today all day I traveled, all day the BT connected to the vehicle, the network in 4G. In general the mobile surrendered me 12hrs the day, with 2:30 of screen.I consider q if it is for normal use, nothing intense, it goes very well.
