writing boot...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] @kitokit:
Maybe you didn't still unlock the boot loader....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
You know reading the whole first post, is recommended :)

That helps to avoid most problems
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] airmike01:
it worked, thanks!!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] airmike01:
any ideas why face unlock doesn't work (the option is missing)? I installed opengapps nano (selected arm, 8.1 and nano), it didn't work, then I installed the fix (from the first page) but still no luck..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PSaran:
Use mindthegapps. Opengapps has that bug of not showing face unlock option whatever you do.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] airmike01:
Can I install mindthegapps directly or do I need to flash the ROM before?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] maisdoiscorregos:
I've encountered a problem. I realize that when accessing any program that needs internet, at a certain moment it is stopped, for example Facebook, as it goes rolling the timeline it does not go down anymore, then you close all programs and open Facebook again and it goes back to scroll the timeline. Did anyone notice this?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PSaran:
Clean flash recommended. I dont think u can flash another gapps type on another one. There r bound to be issues.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] airmike01:
Clean flash means wiping cache, dalvik, data and system? Is there anything else I must do before flashing the ROM?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PSaran:
That's enough. After flashing rom and gapps just flash the faceunlock zip from the link below. It should work now. U dont need to flash any face unlock fix or anything.

Just flash - rom, mindthegapps, magisk(if u want root),baseband patch(if it is d6502) and at last the faceunlock from the link below.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] har0k:
there is no wifi problem, maybe you do it wrong. flash the boot file inside the zip with the cmd (system simbol) on windows and wipe data,system,cache,dalvik and after install the rom

They're probably talking about this

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShaziShah:
Respected seniors and juniors!

I admire your work. Since i am a newbie with roms, now i want to come on this carbon oreo from rr oreo. Just kindly tell me about 2 confusions:-

1. After flashing the stock mm from flashtool, is it essential to gain root that mm rom to flash this carbon's boot.img and recovery.img via fastboot??

2. After flashing this carbon oreo rom, shall i have to flash every weekly or monthly builds as it arrives?? or it doesn't matter?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] marshall85bp:
Dude, I was using RR and it was full of bugs. Carbon rom is well known and it's awesome daily driver. If tou want to see how it works, you have to flash it. If you're in dilemma between RR and Carbon, Carbon wins by far.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] lordalireza:
Thats becouse carbon servers are offline and updating.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] darknessmc:
This rom is good for daily except camera and moving apps to sdcard.

just flash manualy, download the latest version of carbob rom (12 nov 18). Via TWRP

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

it doesn't matter if you just want to update the rom to the latest version. I have tried and it works. just flash it via twrp
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tenmatei:
Are there any important changes in new build?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
I have a new secondhand Z2 :) it's on 5.0.2

I just can't find an easy way to unlock/root/flash this rom.

How do I start the fastest way anno 2018 ? ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] @kitokit:
You have to be on the latest stock firmware which is marshmallow 6.0.1..... And make sure your boot loader is unlock.. before you start flashing the ROM..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
Thx, yes, that part i'm not sure of,

fastest ways to:

- unlock

- root

I installed the drivers and installed flashtool etc,... but cant get to the unlock and root...

And probably downgrade before upgrade with root?

I did it before but can't find a propriate way to do it now?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] @kitokit:
To unlock go to here https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/

Then install latest twrp recovery thru fastboot and from there you can follow op. You can root it later after you flash the ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
i got it going by following this tut :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQL7HGEsHMk

used kingroot and it works
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
Hm, got stuck on the SONY boot screen and it won't restart in TWRP...

How can I reset?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] har0k:
here's the link of the new update.

https://mirrorbits.carbonrom.org/sirius/CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-sirius-20181112-0748.zip
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShaziShah:
1. Update the firmware upto stock/official marshmallow.

2. Install the sony device drivers and fastboot drivers in your pc.

3. Unlock the bootloader. (DRM keys will be lost).

4. Download all necessary files from OP's first page of this thread and follow the steps.

All done and you will have this rom!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] A1nur:
I instal new latest but camera doesn't save if i take picture
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
Thxs my friends :)

Yeah I wiped the system and rebooted, that's the error I made.

So it's stuck on the SONY boot logo... (I hope I didn't brick :-/)

So gonna try to install the flashtool and hope the drivers will work this time to connect.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Godyn:
UPDATE: installed a new recovery (didn't have to downgrade because of flashing an other kernel)

and got into twrp now.

Tried installing but get the process ended error 7

like here https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/help/updater-process-error-7-t3734458

what's wrong?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Reading the whole first post is recommended to avoid all these errors :)

Just install the recovery in first post

Ok thx, trying to get into fastboot, but seems that the drivers are missing.

Newbie Questions

Hi sir's masters I want to upgrade my sony xperia Z2 because someone refers me that this rom is awesome and almost bug free im just a first timer here... Before ill do flashing and follow those instructions i would like to ask some questions im really hoping for your replies and consideration.

I would like to install the CR-6.1 which Gapps do you recommend? And my xperia Z2 doesn't have os anymore i deleted it through twrp so if i boot my device it will go directly to twrp... Can i install the zip directly?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] @kitokit:
Better flash latest mm stock and make sure your boot loader is unlock, then follow op...

Custom CarbonROM Android Pie??

When will come the Carbon Android Pie (Android 9) for our Z2? I heard it has been released for Z1.

Is there any development for the new build to make our device up-to-date??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rodrigosrosa:
Nice work! First page of this topic have all information that we need for a successful procedure!

Work´s fine with my Sony Z2 D6543 (Brazil). Recovery only works with version 3.2.1-s (twrp_3.2.1-s.img), then I rename for recovery.img and do the procedure of the firt page of this topic.

For Brazilian users that complained about Recovery mode: If you want to use Recovery mode again, you need to press the power button with device off, and when "Sony logo" shows up, press and hold the volume up button. The led will turn the color Pink to Orange, then Recovery mode will start. If you use a incorrect version of TWRP for Sony Z2 D6543, you will face some problems for install custom roms.

Thank you!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ticktock666:
I'm having an endless list of "app" crashed/ stopped working errors, I'm assuming these are caused because I'm using xposed on the rom with xprivacyLua, can anyone confirm/deny this?

Overall the rom is nice, but due to the infinite crashes it feels just better to go back to Nougat do i can run the stuff i like, I'm also having issues with openvpn and Google store not working correctly.

Hopefully someone can shed some light, of they are using the same setup but with no problems.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] adxpax:
hello devs.

i have problem on audio recording on cr6.1 xperia z2 please help.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hans_Werner:
I had exactly the same problem. The only workaround i found was a fresh flash of CR.

You can try following: take a picture with flashlight. Camera freezes. Than open switch APP menu. See when camera is switched in background the phone flashes one time. Then switch back to camera. Device had taken the picture but no chances to save.....

Fresh flash has solved the problem with Autofocus and saving pictures for me.

But now i have following issues.

Setting - battery - show all.

The cell phone standby (GSM receive) not the phone standby is by about 22%

It is always the prio APP in energy consume.

And it doesn't matter how good the cell phone receive is.

Switch from LTE to GSM haven't a possitive effect at all.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] okij:
Yes, there are certain Xposed modules which lead to constant app crashes, I also had this on my Z3c and decided just not to use them. I didn't use xprivacyLua, but e.g. MinMinGuard was one of those problematic modules.

I'm sure that it's due to the (still) beta state of Xposed for Android O.

-=-=- edit

What I have just seen here is totally unacceptable, I can`t believe that people are still able to post such junk nowadays, it throws us decades back when respecting each other on forums was not important but guys! Are you serious?

Apart from suggesting you to read our Forum Rules that anyway says nothing but a well known basic code of conduct, there is something else :

- never reply to the unpleasant posts maintaining and contributing to drama, it makes you no different from the one who started or posted inappropriately

- always report instead and let the moderators deal and take action, you`re not helping yourselves nor us to solve the issues by playing advocates or fighting back.

Heavy cleaning has been performed, I have deleted even the "partially good" replies as they were containing quotes of the bad ones and also words full of lack of respect, your fault ...

If you want to repost your issues do it in a civil manner and replying as such.

Further cleaning might take place also if it`s needed and different actions will be taken rather than warnings only, don`t say you`ve not been aware of.

Thanks for understanding and enjoy the forums!

Hi,

With the latest 24 and 25 December full releases of Open Gapps (I tried both of them) I'm experiencing Google Play Services crashes all the time on newly installed and updated Carbon ROM 20181112-0748 release. Can anyone help?

I am not able to boot properly on this rom when I flash xposed 87.3 SDK 25 from magisk. The boot animation just keep on going and going. Is there any compatibility issue? It's working on my other devices though.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
This is said more than one time. Xposed is not stable and official for nougat. This rom takes no responsibility if u flash an experimental file.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Well there's a new and pretty much stable xposed v87.3 magisk module released today by topjohnwu and it's working for almost everyone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Me too and I decided to flash this out of home and pretty much f***ed up everything for today
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
experimental Xposed module ported from purifyos team ( Ported )

It's not ( yet ) completely stable and unofficial. When the official stable build goes to public. Then you can complain about it's not working
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DawoodSahi:
Just goto recovery, flash the mount magisk module, goto file manager > magisk and delete xposed folder, reboot and it'll work

I installed the ROM for 2 days now, I like it very much, but I've faced 2 problems,

Whatever i do i cant get clash of clans and clash Royale to work, both games stuck on crashing whenever i try to open,

The other problem while i'm using my phone today it just powered off at battery 60%, when i started the phone it get on battery 28%,

Anyone have anything like that? I'll be glad if there any solution.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
1. Clash royal need some display drivers that on Z2 it's missing (in the hardware).

2. How old your battery? Too old ones may become faulty.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkcano:
Why clash royale and most of other games are not working?

Is there any way to fix it?

Roll back to Android M or buy a new phone that support OpenGL ES 3.2 Vulkan API.

Never mind the apps, it just worked after installing vpn,

About the battery: I changed the original one to another one 6 months ago, and yes it isn't that good but I never face this problem on my last ROM, I was using eXistenZ ROM,

I it just happened again today, the phone gets off on 66% and after I started it I get 32%!..

i found a strange issue: the lower battery level ,the more time left……for example: when the battery is 80%,it shows 8 hours left,but when the battery is 70% or less,it shows 12 or more hours left……i am sorry for that i can not upload the screenshot……CarbonROM！
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Sometimes it happens, depends on the use you are doing at the time, if you do different tasks during the time you used your phone, the estimated time will change. You need to think that the phone makes math calculus to predict how long the battery will last, considering how much you wasted on that much time. Don't know if I was clear enough, my main language it's not English. So, not an issue.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Also you can recalibrate the battery if you think the estimation is a bit miscalculated.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 0LDST4R:
It's me again, with the NFS no Limits problem. Still on latest RR, because the game fc in every CarbonROM build, it even doesn't start. This happens only in CarbonROM, all other stock/custom roms can run the game without any problem. Could someone test and report on the latest CarbonROM? Thanks in advance guys.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hans_Werner:
See some posts befor.

Had the same Problem. Only wipe everything solved the Problem for me.

Try wipe the whole device 2 vor 3 times and flash Rom again.

Procedere:

- Wipe everything - system, dalvic, cache, internal storage .

- flash Rom

-flash gapps

- flash magisk if you prefere.

Solved the Problem for me.

I tried to download that game. But play store said my device is not compatible.

Are you sure that it supports Oreo?

تم الإرسال من Xperia Z2 باستخدام Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] -kOS-:
Hello! dude, I remember someone write that Oreo needs Vulcan drivers for 3D acceleration and our Adreno GPU do not have the drivers or the hardware features to support Vulcan API, that's why you cannot run games like NFSNL in Carbon ROM. If you need or want to do so, use Nougat ROM or Stock Firmware for the best compatibility for games

See you man! :good:
