[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
Hi, I just managed to get it done, but another problem arise

I flash anew 10.7.A.0.222

after that, I ticked unknown source, and enable debugging, and as people mentioned that it means bootloader is not unlocked

I fired this command five times

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xDB29CBBEFBAB4A64

and after that I fired

fastboot flash boot boot.img

output was

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'boot' (11474 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.364s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 0.548s]

finished. total time: 0.915s

means it worked, but when I hold power button, it vibrates, if I press and hold again, it would vibrate, and never start up

if I connect it for charging red LED would blink
[Sony Xperia ZL] hhjadeja007:
Well, it's strange.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
that's the one I'm trying

downloaded from

https://dl.twrp.me/odin/twrp-3.1.1-0-odin.img

okay, I just flashed again .222 I will now unlock bootloader, then restart and post result
[Sony Xperia ZL] hhjadeja007:
Maybe try pressing vol + button just like Xperia m after mobile vibrates
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
Here's something more I learned

If you unlock boot loader, and restart, > tick unknown + usb debugging, and boot to bootloader, it won't let you flash boot.img

but if you immediately unlock bootloader, and without restart, you flash boot.img, it will go success

but after that, your device won't start

it's not starting, it vibrates, but no display, no matter how many times you press and hold power button to start it, it will vibrate, and won't start

I tried each and every combination of vol +/- and power button, but it's not starting that way

EDIT:

but I can still press and hold vol up and connect cable to get in fastboot mode, after which if I try flashing twrp, i again get command not allowed, except if I try fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xDB29CBBEFBAB4A64 and then fastboot flash boot boot.img

after which I will get success flashing that recovery, but device won't start
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nicklas Van Dam:
For me, i think if you're recently to unlock your bootloader. Have you try to confirmed that your bootloader really unlocked from stock firmware? (*#*#7378423#*#*) and see about bootloader info?

If bootloader already unlocked, then you're safe to flash, And have you read any requirement to flash recovery for your device? i think it's like only work for custom rom or only work for specified version of firmware?

If device won't start, then it should from kernel problem. Try to check your custom recovery compatibility before flashing, and tell us what happen next ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
okay,

so few points worth mentioning

1) my bootloader is unlockable, and is unlocked, I mean in 7378423 it's written yes in root status bl unlock

2) I have received code from sony, and I can unlock it

3) the only recovery that works is https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288118 that too only after using kingroot, which gives me old philz and 2.8.7.0 twrp which are not helpful, also I tried to flash RR 7.1.2 based, phone basically gets bricked

4) I can only flash twrp or any recovery if I unlock bootloader, and without restarting I flash boot.img, if I do so, phone gets bricked

Here's the ss of BL status

View attachment 4249119

There's nothing written about requirements of twrp to flash, or rom, they just don't have, but as I have latest firmware, it should work, even nothing is written in linageos thread

[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
so far, I am able to flash twrp, and I just flashed RR with gapps and mod, just got into settings wizard, will update/comment if I face any problem other than music has stopped working :/
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nicklas Van Dam:
Okay, that's good. Now my questions , that is recovery based on FOTA or only normal recovery based on Boot.IMG?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
boot.img

The problem was with the lolipop rom

Had to flash Kitkat, and unlock bootloader, no probs
[Sony Xperia ZL] modou99:
Hello

my name is modou sow.in fact i have a problem with my huawei p9 lite.je wanted to put on my my phone and i did a wrong handling and because it could not walk any more.auauf mode wipe / data which ended in failure. Then I tried to install the recovery, boot, system ... but at any time I have the results:

*FAILED (remote: Command not allowed);

please help me;

I apologize for the bad English because I am Senegalese.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bassmanitram:
So I"m having the exact same problems as you. I'm attempting to downgrade to Kitkat - that goes fine, but the *#*#7378423#*#* isn't displaying the service menu! Very frustrating - can you tell me where you get your firmwares from? Thx.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Godlydevils:
Yes, there's a problem with this device,

As usual I use

flashtool version 0.9.18.6

then I flash

Xperia ZL_10.5.1.A.0.283_C6502.ftf (Kitkat)

to downgrade

C6502_10.7.A.0.222_1270-7911_R1E.ftf (JB)

All Indian versions, You can download the most recent version for your device from flashtool itself, by going to xperiafirmware(Resumable if you get DC, but don't restart PC) located below right side of Help, left side of donate PayPal button same row, it will also ask you if it should compile and all, yes agree to everything it says , Tara, you have most recent version of working firmware for you Mobile,

However in order to downgrade to KitKat, you will have to download that .ftf of KitKat I mentioned of 977 MB.

Also take note, after u flash 10 5 1 a 0 283, and do bootloader unlock using same process of obtaining from sony entering ur imei and all, after it's done, Never flash TA file, NEVER FLASH ANY .ta when you are flashing any ftf to downgrade or upgrade.

I will upload it to mediafire if you need my Indian version, however I do suggest you get your own region based firmware
[Sony Xperia ZL] Severus_:
I have same problem with you, after unlocking, fastboot getvar secure say no, it means unlocked successfully, but after rebooting, fastboot getvar secure say yes, it means after rebooting, bootloader locked again.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Tomjerryrocket:
you can't flash your recovery directly into your phone. Sony doesn't have any stock recovery instead they use in boot recovery arrangement. But, if you want to use your custom recovery use this command "fastboot boot (recovery_name).zip" without the quotes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Falc7x:
Hi.. I am new here give address by other awesome member of yours..

I want to know if is possible to change or personalize your OS on you samsung S7.. ??

If I ask the wrong question sorry to the administrators..

Other wise thanks in advance..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HenriDellal:
Certainly. You may just want to make minor changes, then find a custom launcher, prettify it with icon pack and cool wallpapers. If you want deeper changes, I'd suggest to find a custom ROM that satisfy your needs(there are lots on the internet, I've found King of Nougat ROM after quick search on XDA). Then you have to flash it on your phone. Beware and read carefully installation instructions, otherwise you may get a brick. Then look for some customization tools such as Xposed.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Falc7x:
Thanks HenriDellal appreciated your answer.. awesome I will research..

Great !!!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not clear after reading several threads, and I've been out of the custom ROM and root game for 6 months or so.

I'm currently on the March version of PureNexus. Unlocked, rooted, etc. I kind of want to try out stock Android O. Would this be simple? I can just back up my current setup in TWRP and then what?

Sorry, like I said, it has been 6 months and I don't want to screw up anything... Phone has been running great but I want the shiny new toy... ?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Would I just follow this thread, minus the suhide part (I don't care about that)?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] NOSTALGIA:
yes. or go back to stock..

my best suggestion is to go back to stock and then either manually flash Oreo or enroll on android beta.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
If I go back to stock, do I lose all my internal storage? I assume not? I can just flash an original image I made before beginning custom ROM world?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
Just wondering how many new features of Android o are actually working on our 6p. I have it up and running but I can't seem to find any of the features like picture in picture and changing icon display. The system tuner doesn't have navigation bar so how is it possible to get picture in picture to work? It all looks hunky dory on the Pixel phones but unless I'm missing something, there's nothing available for our 6p. And there's still no night mode. ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu3becker:
No night mode but I got Pip to work in Chrome with a full screen video but not on YouTube by pressing the home button.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
Thanks for the quick reply. Will try that. So I guess we have to root to get this feature via custom navigation bar app. I was wondering how long I could hold off rooting. The ads are already driving me up the wall.?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collinjm01:
None of the Android Oreo features are working on mine. Like if you long to the home screen and go to settings, it takes me to Google Assistant settings....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azurehawke:
Same here

I flashed the update today, and I was disappointed to see the Marshmallow boot animation, the new app drawer is nonexistent, and I can't change the icons.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
Hi guys, it didn't take too long. Already rooted and using custom navigation bar app to enable pip. No more ads and life is sweet again.?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu3becker:
People on the Pixel forum and on reddit are saying that you need a Youtube Red subscription to be able to use PIP on the Nexus 6P without resorting to use a navigation shortcut. That's crazy.

Edit: I'm Canadian so Red is a no go.

I can't press resume after pausing when using the custom navigation button to load pip on YouTube. Am I missing something or are we doomed to restore the window to full screen to press play?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
Hi, just tested mine. Video can resume after pausing in pip mode.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deani77:
I just see different between O and N was UI and underhood performance... All the mentioned features didn't work at least for me...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrin378:
I asked about new stuff on oreo on google nexus forum for our 6p..and i just got answer that notification dots works only on Pixel and PiP mode works on Youtube Red and Chrome when watching video in full screen mode..

Welcome to the Nexus Help Forum.

I understand you're facing issues with the notification dots and PiP mode on the Nexus 6P device after the Android update.

Please be informed that notification dots are only available on Pixel. They are not possible on Nexus. Also, PiP on YouTube is only possible if the you have YouTube Red. There are also many apps that are not currently compatible with PiP. Therefore, please let me know which apps are you trying to use PiP with.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drguildo85:
I'm using Lawnchair launcher, great stock pixel looking with extra option and feature including icon pack support and dots on app on homescreen, different visual effect, highly recommend it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
using Amir Zaidi's pixel launcher version 2.1

working reasonably good. Most features works fine , DOTS is acting strange working intermittently.

But as a whole, just an APK to install , no root needed ( I am rooted BTW), and no need for any system.img flash if you wanna go back,
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] akksnv:
When the Android O OTA update is available from my carrier, will updating wipe out data? I know we can get the update files and manually flash them (right now without having to wait for carriers), but that will wipe data which I'd like to avoid doing. But if the carrier OTA will wipe the data anyways, then there's no reason to wait :)

As a side note, with other phones I probably would have rooted by now, but it honestly hasn't seemed necessary with the Pixel yet. Since I haven't rooted so far, I'd kind of like to avoid it. The only thing I wish I had right about now is TWRP and Titanium Backup :/... that would make updates wiping data irrelevant.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] akksnv:
Nevermind, now irrelevant :)

Enrolling in the beta program (https://www.google.com/android/beta) will give you the update immediately, without wiping anything.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hpsauce37:
That's what I've just done also.

Does frustrate me that they release the carrier supported updates before those with sim free devices
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Abaddon:
I got the ota update but couldn't update. Keeps telling me that there's an installation problem. Been trying all day. Anyone has the sams thing going? Im on verizon
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
If I do this and am offered the update from Google, do I first need to return to stock? I'm on PureNexus right now. I assume that would cause issues if I tried to update?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] akksnv:
I'm not sure, I was already on stock so I didn't have that issue. I would assume going back to stock would be the recommended method, though.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mcbeat257:
What is the installation problem that it shows on the screen?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Abaddon:
This one. I saw a lot of ppl on XL have this too. :L I'm still waiting for an OTA backup zip from google ot someone with an OTA URL to manually side load it via recovery
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] z3pp3lin:
Have you tried rebooting? I had the same issue and it installed right after rebooting.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mcbeat257:
Try cleaning the cache from the "Google Play Services" app so that it can update freshly.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You have to be fully stock and unrooted to take an OTA. There are some mild exceptions but I'm not going to go into all the details. You defnitely can't take stock ROM OTAs when you're running a custom ROM such as PureNexus.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] TechOut:

[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
That means it is not possible to compile an aosp 8.0 as of now?
[ONE General] mustang_ssc:
If that is true, then apologises from my side.

On the link you posted i can only see the "build" folder, which is used to execute the compilation. This folder, automatically downloaded when you download the source of a rom such as RR, Slim or LineageOS, it contains as i mentioned you scripts and similar files to execute the compilation.

I googled a bit and found it has been released:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest (branch "android-8.0.0_r4")

This is the repository that contains the whole source code for Oreo.

So yep, we have Oreo source code, so now it would require to adapt our device tree and other specific repositories for our device for Oreo. It would not surprise me if someone successfully compile an Oreo build for our device in a very short time, like it happened with Nougat ;)
[ONE General] Thanhtho96:
We have android O since its preview. A developer of 1+1 had built successful. But its preview so appearance look like android N only code name. So believe me, we will get it soon. Btw you can see mi3 has it now, so no reason why 1+1 cant have it. Google slogan: "Don't be evil"
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Thanks,I'll edit my post with correct links. :)

If I recall correctly,we got first build of Nougat on 27 August,2016 by Updateing,so we shall see Oreo build in a few days. *fingerscrossed* :D

[ONE General] Thanhtho96:
He didnt post anything yet? He say he will post it soon, you can check the mi3 forum. I think someone already built it for 1+1

[ONE General] Mr.Ak:

[ONE General] JT1510365:
When it was released they should wait 3 to 4 years for the next android release they are going to fast on updates in my opinion
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Then after 3-4yrs there will be another android release,then they should probably work on the earlier android release instead of the latest release?*_*

Yes the early android releases are the best one for me IMO I don't get why people would want Oreo or nougat because I can't get used to having or using them they don't seem stable to me and they don't have the features or apps that I like to use:)

In my opinion there will be 3 stages:

In 1-2 weeks devs will be dropping first oreo screenshots and maybe even builds with major bugs

In 1-2 Months there will be released some official ROMs like Slim8, LOS15 etc.

In 3-4 Months builds will be stable.
