[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsGhaly:
Do you still have warranty on Xperia SP?!

1- You can Root and Unroot your phone again anytime.

2- You can Unlock and Relock your bootloader anytime.

3- The most important and the only thing you need to backup is the TA partition that has all DRM keys of your phone.

4- You have to Unlock your bootloader if you want to install Lineage OS ROM.

5- You have to backup DRM keys before unlocking your bootloader.

6- Here you are step bay step what you need to do before flashing Lineage OS ROM:

a- Root your phone using twolroot app from here

b- Backup DRM keys ( follow this guide for Linux ).

c- Download Flashtool version (0.9.18.6) for Linux from here.

d- Finally follow this old video tut to unlock your bootloader official way.

P.S: Read carefully the instructions in these links before doing anything, I am not responsible if you brick your devices.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atarax42:
Yes, I just bought a brand new SP with a valid warranty.

So, the only partition that is modified by the custom ROM is the TA partition?

I just noticed that my device does not allow me to unlock the bootloader. I have to find a way to achieve

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

Edit: Trying to boot into fastboot mode (holding volume up; connecting device to PC by USB) does not turn the LED to blue but to green, and in my PC's file manager the device does show up, but cannot be mounted :(

My phone is not SIM locked, so no network carrier, no contract involved. Bought it from a hardware online shop.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsGhaly:
No, not only the TA partition but you can restore everything by re-flashing the stock rom except the DRM keys must be restored from backup.

if you have "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" then I don't think you'll be able to flash LOs Rom.. And I don't know if there's any way to make it "yes".. Sorry [emoji120]

But there's some old ROMs for locked bootloader devices here on xda just search for it if you want kitkat or lollipop or even stock based ROM.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atarax42:
So, these ROMs can be flashed without fastboot? How is that possible?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonsa:
So I'm trying the Magisk root mode instead of SuperSU. This is my first time messing with Magisk.

I flashed the lastest OOS version and flashed the Magisk zip.

I went to the dowload modules section and installed a bunch of modules without rebooting immediatly. After all installed I rebooted and to my surprise, the phone didn't boot. It stays in the 1+ logo forever.

What have I done wrong? Installed wrong modules? Should I reboot after each module installed?

I flashed the ROM back, wiped cache and dalvik and flashed Magisk again and still the phone isn't booting..

EDIT: Flashed the ROM again without Magisk or SuperSU and it booted, but somehow I lost the TWRP recovery!

Great now it will wipe my phone to install the TWRP recovery again..
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chazarss:
These are my favorites so far, I am so happy with them
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
It won't wipe your phone if you simply run it in fastboot and flash the TWRP recovery. The only reason it wipes the first time is because you had to do an oem unlock, which is already done now. The only time you will have to wipe your whole phone from now on is if you decrypt, and with ROMs starting to work with encryption, that shouldn't need to be done.

For the boot loop, my guess is a bad module.

To get the phone working again, you did the correct thing in flashing the stock zip without Magisk. The only thing you needed to do right after that was flash TWRP recovery image again through TWRP to overwrite the stock recovery. Then you would boot up, uninstall the modules, and reflash Magisk.

The only Magisk module I use is the stock Google Dialer/Contacts mod.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] naturist:
Wow. Didn't knew there are so many modules just for OP5. Guess it's time to root.

Does using doze for Google play services causes any notification issues? Delay etc.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chazarss:
None any issue, just flash and relax
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonsa:
thank you for your explanation. I managed to install the TWRP recovery again. what's happening now is I flash the ROM and it boots. I flash Magisk and it doesn't boot. I flash the ROM again and then SuperSU and it works. What I think is happening now is when I flash Magisk it might load the modules that don't work and it won't boot. Is there a way to know if the modules are installed in the background?

What I did now was flash the Magisk uninstaller and flashed the SuperSU and it's working.

I llaughed out loud when I read the "Flash Stock Recovery - Step 7/ Ponder for a minute at how useless it is" :D

You guide is good but not for my situation. I can boot, just not with Magisk. The thing was, I installed a lot of Magisk modules all at once, like Viper4Android, Emoji one module, and a bunch of more. Then rebooted and it bootlooped.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] the_rooter:
Would like to get center clock on the status bar. Is there a module that does this?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Substratum is your answer to that question. I haven't tried any full themes since our recovery is still a working mess it seems, so I'm worried about backups. But the Ozone Substratum module works well. I just made my clock centered with small date and am/pm. Persists through dirty flashes too.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
I haven't had to mess around with uninstalling Magisk modules, but I assume the method to uninstall a module would be to

Flash system zip

Flash TWRP recovery

Boot into phone

Run the Magisk manager app without actually having Magisk installed

Uninstall or disable the modules

Then install Magisk
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Im_Mattgame:
Ah okay I see, then yeah it is maybe an incompatibility issue with one of the modules, mind listing all of them, I'll try and figure out which one is causing the Bootloop ?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] n0013z:
Keep in mind that everytime you update your phone it will also install stock recovery. So you'll need to re-install twrp after every oos update.

I have no module installed but I use other apps that needs root.

Btw can anyone comment on atmos or viper4android, does your phone/headphone sound any better?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] oVeRdOsE.:
I use viper4droid with sony ericsson ((Z-Edition) 3.Mega Bass.irs impulse response file.

(add this file under kernel folder in the viper directory, and set it under ''convolver'' tab. The sound is way richer.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442933

Does someone know how to get a nice adblock ? On my previous device, the rom came with adaway and it did a nice job.

Now, on the Op5 I have adaway, but it seems to do nothing.

Dns66 on a un-rooted device do a better job...

This is unclear, I had to read a lot before figured out how it works.

1- Disable stock youtube apk.

2- download the iytpb for magisk somewhere online.

3- Open magisk, under module, tap the +, hold finger on the file, and tap open.

4- reboot

5 - re-enable the youtube app under android settings.

this should work.

A really good workaround for music only, is Ymusic.apk. This is based on youtube, and it only plays the sound track, in back ground, screenoff, no ads. You can also d/l the .mp3.

Really good app.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarrYTV2015:
I am currently running stock rooted Nougat Rom but it isn't the best because it has many battery-draining, overheating and bad performance issues. Which is the best ROM for camera, battery, and smooth performance? So far I have found:

[ROM] [Z5/Z5P-Single/Dual] RXSW Moonbreakers Edition [1.7.0] [30/09/16] [6.0.1]

or

What network u trying to use ? GSM services will only work for data and text .calls just end
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] andMego:
Why don't you flash the stock images from the unlocked variant?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] eksasol:
Be default, Verizon lock prepay phones from making call.

Although that's interesting because call works for me using Mint Sim. Try factory resetting as well.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] rajimoto:
Had the same problem, and then noticed that there was no APN listed. After manually entering the APN info from my other T-Mobile phone, I was able to make and receive calls without any trouble. Only thing was that the network drops to 3G during the call--not sure what to do about that.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] harkay1:
maybe worth a shot

change preferred network from 4g to 3g, make a call, and change preferred network back to 4g. It's been working for me in cricket that way. same thing in post #8 of this thread

got the code from ebay
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mrpickem:
The Verizon E4 Plus works fine for me after unlocked. Tested with both AT&T and Tmobile with no issues. I purchased yesterday at Target for $99 and requested $2 unlock code yesterday. Got code this morning and it works great.

For some reason the device automatically drops to 3G when making or receiving calls. However voice quality is good if not HD.

Overall this is a pretty strong device for under $100...shame is you cant unlock bootloader. :(

Here's a video showing receiving call and dropping to 3G.

[YOUTUBE]s-agOSswMXg[/YOUTUBE]
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] zero2duo:
After putting my Cricket sim card in, entering unlock code, and setting up the phone, I followed the "trick" so phone calls would stop dropping to 3G and stay on 4G LTE but it would not work. I tried the following:

1. Change to 3G, made a call, change to LTE, made a call and it still dropped/showed 3G

2. Change to 3G, made a call, and restarted phone. Change to LTE, made a call and it showed 3G still

3. Change to 3G, made a call, and restarted phone. Change to LTE, restarted phone, made a call and it showed 3G still.

The Cricket APN is set correctly as I see 4G LTE when not in a phone call. I am able to make/receive calls, sms, mms (for mms had to use Textra over the default Message+ app).

Any other ideas I can try to get phone calls to be on LTE?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] guest_2011:
mine also drops to 3G. nothing can be done about it.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] zero2duo:
Hmm...someone on Slickdeals replied to me saying for Cricket, to get "HD-Voice", you need compatible Cricket phones, which the Moto E4 Plus clearly isn't --> https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/apps-and-services/hd-voice/customer/compatible-phones.html

Not a big deal about having phone calls drop to 3G. I was just curious because people and the wiki mention to do that "phone 3G/LTE" workaround.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] os2baba:
I can't add any APN. On the Settings, I get a message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". There is no way for me to add any APN. Mobile Data works on my T-Mobile SIM.

Edit: Never mind. My bad. I was juggling two of these phones and only one of them had a SIM card. The one with the SIM card allowed me to add an APN.

But I wonder now how this is going to work when I travel abroad and have to use a SIM that would roam across multiple networks. I'd have to add each one manually? Without knowing which networks are available?

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] BlueTR:
Hey guys. I have screen flickering issue but it doesn't happen everytime. First I noticed this after I reflashed my phone like 5 months ago but my battery was low so I thought it may have something to do with voltage. Next time it happened weather was too hot (45 degrees celcius) and phone's cpu was like 70 degrees. I wiped my phone yesterday and same thing happened but this time my battery was full.

It's noticable at full brightness and it disappears after 10-15 minutes. Should I take my phone to Sony service?

I read people facing with this on different phones after reflashing but not when phone was hot.

Same problem

Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution for this problem?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] aquaboy11:
Doesn't changing the resolution through ADB just change the rendering resolution, which is then downscaled to 1080p? As far as I know those 4k switchers and guides never actually make your phone display 4k resolution.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tilovilo:
After ADB, my Z5 Premium switched to 4K 806 ppi and I had a great view for VR videos, they looked fantastic but the CPU and the GPU overheated in a short time. So I bought XZ Premium for better GPU and CPU performance but after ADB my XZ Premium switched to 4K 403 ppi which did not make any difference in the view, no heating problem but no good view.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] aquaboy11:
Correct. For the Z5 it was real 4K. For the XZ Premium it's just rendered 4K downscaled to 1080p. 4K only works for specific apps, like YouTube, if you select the 4K option.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreyl79:
I had CWM Recovery and an older cyanogenmod rom installed and I wanted to upgrade to 7.1.2 from here: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-20161008-r16-t3476750

I copied the rom to internal memory, rebooted into recovery, selected the rom file to install. It showed some messages about patching, then in a couple of minuted erred with smth like "Erro loki-ifying because of incompatible aboot image".

I then rebooted and now it boots and shows "ANDROID" and is stuck on it - looks like it partially updated the ROM and failed somewhere.

I am not sure what to do now - I tried to boot into recovery (Power off -> Hold Power + Vol down till menu shows) but it doesnt work - it keeps booting onto this stuck boot.

Any ideas?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einsteindks:
As I understand it, being an amateur ROM flasher, all those 3rd party ROMs need a TWRP recovery to work. Provided your bootloader is unlocked, I'd flash the stock on via RSDlite, flash TWRP 3.1.1.0 (my best experience), THEN install whatever ROM you like in TWRP. This'll start you from a clean slate and wipe ALL data from the phone. I'm guessing you forgot to wipe dalvik and cache before restarting, to. Someone of more experience may chime in, soon.

Crap. Sorry. Disregard. Thought this was a Droid Turbo thread.

Ok, I installed LineageOS and it worked fine. Must be an issue with the latest AOSP ROM here
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
The reason the flash failed is simply the fact you put the ROM on the internal storage, flashing from there wiped the ROM before it gets written. If you had stored the AOSP on an external SD, it would have worked.

As Lineage is based on AOSP, it should have failed also...
