[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I have rooted my Xperia L stock ROM 15.3.A.1.17 and unlocked the bootloader. Now I wish to install TWRP recovery on a separate partition. As indicated on official TWRP page on Xperia L,

However, the stock kernel does not support FOTAkernel method a.ka. extract_elf_ramdisk feature. The webpage does not address the issue of running TWRP on stock kernel. It's like a chicken and egg problem. To have TWRP running, one needs a custom kernel. To flash a custom ROM, one needs TWRP (or other custom recovery).

I can think of two possible ways of breaking this deadlock.

Possible method #1:

Flash TWRP using Recovery Installer Toolkit for Xperia L

Flash a custom ROM (zip) from this recovery

Flash TWRP to FOTAkernel using official TWRP app or dd-ing a TWRP raw image on FOTAkernel partition or using Recoveries and Recovery Installer for Taoshan

Possible method #2:

Use a stock ROM image with TWRP integrated:

adb flash boot boot_twrp2.img

Flash a custom ROM (zip) from this recovery

Flash TWRP to FOTAkernel using official TWRP app or dd-ing a TWRP raw image on FOTAkernel partition or using Recoveries and Recovery Installer for Taoshan

Possible method #3:

Boot into fastboot mode

Flash the TWRP image directly onto the boot partition

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

Reboot the phone which now should boot directly to TWRP recovery

The screen flickers when you are in recovery menu. However, flashing a custom ROM will fix the problem

Flash a custom ROM (zip) from this recovery

Flash TWRP to FOTAkernel using official TWRP app or dd-ing a TWRP raw image on FOTAkernel partition or using Recoveries and Recovery Installer for Taoshan

As of now, I installed TWRP on FOTAkernel partition using official TWRP app. As expected, when I issue,

adb reboot recovery[/CODEL] the phone boots to stock recovery instead of TWRP. This behavior is expected as stock kernel knows nothing about TWRP being located on FOTAkernel.

I don't even know if any of the proposed methods work. However, before embarking down any one of those routes, I want to ask the community if I am overlooking any straightforward, less cumbersome alternative(s).

[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I don't get the point why I need a KitKat/Lollipop based custom ROM. What do you mean by current recovery being old?

I talked to [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] on IRC about the issue and he suggested the same to me.

.

I am also experiencing flickering. It's surprising to hear that the problem is supposed to go away with custom ROM. Do you have any idea how does having a custom ROM make any difference at all?
[Sony Xperia L] Kungfu73:
Well, the version of twrp that recovery installer app flashes, is 2.7 or something like that (not 3.0.2) and it may fail to flash MM or N ROMs (it's mentioned in some official custom ROMs download page to use latest TWRP)

If you mean by difference, fixing the flickering, well it wipes boot partition while flashing ROM, and (some of ROMs) flash latest TWRP to fota agian, and it fixes that

But if you mean difference between stock and custom ROM, well... it depends on your using. The most obvious ones are the improved security and more space for apps and tons of customizable and useful features, etc.

(And also sorry if I had mistakes in English!)
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
The installer app lets you choose the version to flash. You can very well flash any version (of twrp.img) downloaded on your phone.
[Sony Xperia L] Kungfu73:
Oh this is what that makes difference!

On stock ROM, you can only use old TWRP's that are compatible with stock ROMs that don't support fota !

And also you should use the recovery that the app gives to you
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
The app gives a list of all recovery versions available on the official website for category `taoshan`. Are you sure that there is some TWRP version that does not support FOTA and works with stock ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] Kungfu73:
Well, if you check the official twrp website, there is no version before 2.8 for XL , and lol those removed ones are compatible!
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I am curious to know how come any TWRP version be compatible with stock ROM unless the recovery ramdisk is integrated with the boot image than being written onto FOTAkernel.
[Sony Xperia L] Kungfu73:
I don't have much detailed information about that.

You can get help from experts :o

And could you finally flash and boot any version of twrp using that 3 methods?:confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I tried method #2 and #3. Both works :)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kreizyidiot:
So I was trying to install TWRP on my phone. I have a Mac and was looking at some online guide. I had a pin set-up, and this is what I did:

1. Installed ADB and fast boot

2. Unlocked the boot loader on the phone

3. Check the terminal commands that the device is connected correctly

4. Had the ABD and TWRP img files on the phone.

5. Tried to fast boot TWRP.

What is happening now is that I'm stuck on a boot loop of a TWRP screen, the screen if flashing and won't load. I'm guessing to let the battery die out over night

I was looking at a few threads and some say that I should flash the factory image. Everyone is saying flash the stock file... However, I can't even get the phone to turn off or go back into bootload mode for my computer to recognize the phone.

Any tips?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DR3W5K1:
Hold volume down and the power button down. Keep it held down might take sometime but you should get to the loader. boot twrpRC1 flash rc2 after getting in twrp. You could also start fresh by fishing factory once you get back to bootloader
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
Long press power button to shut it off

or press power button and vol down together and will take you to fatsboot mode and from there you can use volume button to seltect bootloader or recovery
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I don't do pin's so I'm not familiar with the hangups involved with those and TWRP.

But I guess the first thing I'd do is remove the pin lock.

Then power down phone.

Wait 30 seconds!!!!!

Press power + volume down until phone powers on, then let go.

Should boot right into bootloader.

Fastboot boot twrp.

Install TWRP from the fastbooted TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] :
I'm not familiar with the Mac process but on a PC we need to fastboot into TWRP from an image file on our computer first, and then flash the file on the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] danw_oz:
I recommend keeping a copy of the boot signer on your device, flashing this fixes most of these types of issues I have found, especially with new rom upgrades etc.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
Did you let the phone fully boot into the system after unlocking the bootloader, or did you immediately try and boot twrp?

I've had this problem twice before, both after a fastboot unlock, and I had to let it fully boot into the system before proceeding
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kreizyidiot:
Thank you you too. That was the problem, my patience. I didn't hold it down long enough for it to boot back into boot loader mode.

Hey I think that was it. I immediately tried to boot twrp without letting the system fully boot.

Thanks you all for the support. Go XDA!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pcriz:
The first question everyone should be asking is if OP was on the O Beta previously.. If that is the case Op needs to flash the factory image in both slots.

Put phone into the bootloader

Flash all bat

Put phone into the bootloader

fastboot --set-active=other

fastboot reboot bootloader

flash all bat

fastboot boot twrp

Even if OP wasnt on the O beta, this should fix the issue.

After successfully flashing Oreo, I am seeing the same flashing/looping TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1).

Long press of Pwr restarted the phone.

Rinsed & repeat a few times.

Any thoughts to flash TWRP (temporarily)?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ryan5091:
Hey all, I'm posting this here instead the of Verizon forum on here because it seems that the Verizon section has little to no activity.

I've looked at so many posts already on this in the last hour, and they all seem like it goes to a bricked phone. However, mine acted differently. I still want some fresh opinions.

I've had my S8 since 2 weeks after launch and it has worked perfectly fine. No problems and the occasional drop here and there on carpet from sitting level.

Today after work, I turned on my phone, swiped to unlock, it froze on my wallpaper, and went to a black screen. I knew it turned off too, because my Gear S2 vibrated at me signaling a disconnect. Now, it's just a black screen, no responses, no LED's, nothing. From other posts it seemed the "Black screen of death" would still get some LED's unless I'm mistaken. All I get is that my phone only vibrates quickly when holding vol- & Power and is just looped like that. My computer detects it as "QUSB_BULK", which is scary....

Do I need to take it in? Or is there anything I could do to try to fix this. I'm on a device payment plan and at the time couldn't afford the insurance, and I sure can't afford any repairs or replacements of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pierotundo:
You've tried to press Volume - and Power if it enters waiting, volume + and goes into downloading volume rewards - and Power if you reboot as soon as the Samsung s8 presses volume + birby and power the phone goes into twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ryan5091:
I don't get any display on the phone, and I've tried every way possible to get into download and recovery mode. It's just completely stone dead other then the vibrating at vol- & Power and the "QUSB_BULK" on my computer. Other than that, it is just a black screen. So I'm still kinda clueless.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Have you plugged it into the wall?

Mine did this yesterday and plugging it in we the only thing that woke it up

It had powered down suddenly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ryan5091:
Yea, I attempted that. No life what so ever. Now I don't even get a vibration at power and volume down, so I'm assuming the battery finally died. Let's see if total power loss would affect it much and if it would just suddenly come back to life, but. I am at work so I haven't had a chance to plug it again today. I kept it unplugged overnight while I slept to see if that did anything. So guess I'll find out if I have to contact Verizon or Samsung about it. I've only had it since end of April. So this defect better not kill me money wise.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hi, I'm from Colombia and I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7 (SM-G930F), I bought it online (at a very good price), when I got my hands on it, I realized that the software I had installed was for the version (SM-G930FD) and had 2 imei different to the ones that appear in the box, worked very slow and had lag but worked mobile networks, so I decided to restore it from the factory, download the rom from sammobile (G930FXXU1DQG2 - Galaxy S7 SM-G930F COO Colombia), install it with odin 3.12, everything was going great, I finished rebooting the phone and everything worked perfectly (I was not slow, I worked wifi, the camera, everything), but when I insert The sim note that it was not connected to the mobile network, it only served to make emergency calls, and when I tried to call a contact I got a message saying "Not Registered On The Net", check the configuration of APN and everything was correct .

I made me curious that followed with the same version of firmware wrong (SM-SM-G930F G930FD in) and imei remained different (none matched the one that came in the box).

I WOULD LIKE TO HELP ME TO MAKE IT A CLEAN INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE THAT CORRESPONES TO YOU, I WOULD LIKE TO ATTACH IMAGES SO THAT EVERYTHING IS EASIER TO EXPLAIN BUT FOR BEING NEW I CAN NOT.

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekojac:
I just got a Nixon The Mission which has all these sensors but I guess Nixon didn't think to include an app that could make use of all of the data obtained from them.

I can see all the raw sensor data using Aida64, but it's pretty clunky and has a lot of sensor data I don't really care about.

Are there any sensor apps for Wear out there that can present all of this data in a reasonably nice fashion? Thinking of something along the lines of an outdoor app or something that will just show the barometric pressure, altitude, temperature, humidity, compass bearing, etc. all using the onboard sensors (not GPS or internet).

Thanks.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axaman943:
Hi, i've had to handle the same kind of questions when i got the Mission myself. I wish Nixon, for the high price tag of the watch, wouls have developed a fes apps which would take advantage of the sensors, unfortunately they didn't (suckers)!

For altitude i use Altimeter Wear

For Barometer ToolX

Haven't foumd any app that uses the thermoter

Speedometer wear app uses the phone's gps for some reason so u can't track speed without your phone around...

I guess nobody other than us cares as i'm the first to reply...

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

Oh, BTW, super important, in order to get right measurments, MicLock should stay open otherwise the sensor is locked up and won't be able to work properly, i wish it was clearly explained in the user guide...

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bacarditonico:
Finally after a huge search I was able to find a decent application to take advantage of my Nixon Mission sensors.

The application is called "Sensors Master Military" and uses the Barometer, Thermometer and Altimeter of my Nixon, works with a third part application to be able to use the compass.

When Sensors Master Military it is used for the first time you will be invited to install the compass, it's freeware.

This application Sensors Master Military is paid but the amount is quite reduced and it is worth the investment.

The same developer also has the "Mission Temperature" application that only provides the Nixon Mission temperature, the application is freeware.

I hope I have helped!

MoKee Open Source is the biggest non-profit Android Open Source development team in China, with members from all parts of the world. We follow the latest development from Google closely and improve various parts of Android according to the user habits. Being a non-profit organisation, we utilise our spare time and own funds to keep this passion alive. Therefore, the costs for the forum and servers are solely beared by us. In order to provide a good user experience, we only included a few preinstalls in the ROM. Along with the advertisements in the forum; we hardly get enough to pay for the bandwidth. The point is, those are our only source of income, however many developers choose to exclude them when releasing unofficial builds. Unlike CyanogenMod, we did not accept monetary help at the early stages, as in China, most people do not understand the meaning of “making a donation”. They would think of it as buying a service, which is conflicting with our objectives. Anyways, we still made it until today, and even started to provide third party developers a chance to utilise our OTA system. All of these are the fruit of our hard work and passion. We are proud of the happy users, and we are also proud of the support given to MoKee Open Source. Most importantly, we are proud of the improvements we have achieved all these while, and the advancements never stop.
