Project: Exynos-Linux-Stable​

- Exynos-Linux-Stable is an organisation on GitLab & GitHub containing upstreamed linux for some of the latest flagship handset from SAMSUNG like the S7, S7E, S8, S8+, Note 8, S9, S9+, Note 9 kernel upstreamed to be inline with respective linux branches.

What does this bring?

- All of the devices mentioned above uses Long Term Support (LTS) releases, they are like old softwares.

- LTS releases are supported through their specified support duration by security updates, bug fixes, backports, and new device drivers, just like a regular release.

So updating or up-streaming your device's kernel brings many improvements talking security, performance wise etc...

How do I use?

If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the exynos-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/exynos-linux-stable

This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).

If you are a user, ask your kernel developer KINDLY to use this source for his kernel that has all the changes added in!

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] smallfish82:
Newsflasher 11 does work (thanks!) but make sure you turn of driver signing enforcement in Windows before you try it - I struggled to get it working until I did this. I copied the replacement firmware without any .ta files.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] sladluk:
thanks a lot,

so can i just put the newflasher exe to the firmware folder and start it or have i to put something else to the folder or delete something from the folder ?

Unpack partition.zip to partition folder and You are good to go. Newflasher won't do it for You.

which partition zip? where do i find it? in the fw folder that i downloaded there is already a partition folder in there whit one xml and 3 sin files... why newflasher won´t do it ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] ch3mn3y:
If You have folder already than You don't have to unpack anything :) You are good to go.

I meant that Newflasher won't unpack the zip for You. However as You don;t have one, that there is no problem.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] sladluk:
ok, so i put in the fw folder just the newflasher exe and then i start it? On the XZp i had to move some other file from the newflasher zip too... now not anymore?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] ch3mn3y:
Only .exe if You are using Windows. And as I remember older versions there were always 5-7 files (except v10 test versions), but only one was used - .exe for Windows other for Linux and Android (so not needed by Windows).

I have the model H8216 (XZ2) and i flashed the Customized_IT version (no brand) because i bought the phone from an operator and it has brand fw installed.

Hi I'm having trouble rooting my xperia xz 2 after unlocking the bootloader. Is there a link for some apk or pc application that could do it I also can't find a twrp that supports this phone so can't install that either ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Devzz:
Have you tried the new version of magisk? (v16.4 if I'm not mistaken). Hopefully that should do the job although I'd read up on it and double check in the relevant forum whether it will work.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Karimano24:
I have but I'm not sure how to install it as there is no boot recovery system set up on my phone (xperia xz 2) and when I look through twrp my device is not showing up as supported
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Klaus N.:
Well, you don't need a recovery to install; just install the Latest Magisk Manager from here (a link is in the op), open the app, go to the settings and change the Update Channel to Beta. Then go back to the main menu of Magisk and tap "Install". After a reboot into system you should have root.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] serajr:
So you did succeed in unlocking the bootloader... cool! Which device did you choose in device's list at the sony unlocking page?

Also, did you notice any difference in camera performance and/or loss of some features? Green pics and so on...

Regarding root, you don't need twrp, but a patched kernel.

If you want to try, send me the kernel*.sin (kernel_X-FLASH*.sin) found in the firmware folder that you downloaded from XperiFirm.

Pm me if you prefer.

Edit: See Klaus N.'s post above ( thanks bro :good: )

Edit 2: If you experience bootloop after the magisk procedure, you will need to flash the stock kernel again with Newflasher (kernel*.sin file only).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Karimano24:
Am I me to do this from a pc because when I try that from the apk in that link after selecting beta it asks me which part I want to install zip or image and then there is a folder I can't open from the handset.. Or do I go to image to flash something in the original magisk folder?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Klaus N.:
There must be something like "patch img directly (recommended)".
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Karimano24:
i found a boot image to flash in the magisk zip file it then loads up a flashing screen "unpacking boot image, unable to pack boot image failed" and installation failed. is it not your phoned stock boot image that it needs rather than the magisk boot image?

Device won't boot, saying that s/w is corrupted, Companion saying that it's giving up due to unlocked bootloader. I'm a new to xperia devices, so don't shoot the pianist ^-^
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] serajr:
After unlocking the bootloader you can still download and flash sony stock firmware!!

1. Download the firmware with XperiFirm

2. Download and unpack Newflasher v13+ files in the firmware folder

3. Connect your XZ2 in Flashmode (Volume Down Key), run Newflasher.exe (windows) and say N (no) twice when asked for

4. Wait till the flashing process finishes

Note: The above steps also works with locked bootloader devices! Just go ahead!!

Is there a step-by-step guide on how to debrand my XZ2 H8216 with Newflasher?

I've tried using the Search button but I cannot seem to find it. I've been reading the comments but I'm still not confident I have everything I need.

Thanks in advance =)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Klaus N.:
The procedure [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] mentioned in the post above yours is also valid, if you have a locked bootloader and want to switch from a branded to an unbranded fw ;)

And no, you

don't

have to unlock your bootloader for that!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Konasensei:
Thank you Klaus, as a matter of fact, I just managed to switch to an unbranded fw! took me a whole 5 minutes. Amazing guys, thank you so much.

Post #33 just above - Do use XperiFirm and Newflasher. Locked or unlocked bootloader!

Download and flash ONLY firmwares of the same model as your device. DO NOT cross-flash between models!!

Feel free to flash the firmware you want to (unbranded or not), as long as it is for your device model!!

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

one thing i have noticed

the customized version is 10/100 RA1

and the branded version is 51.1.A.4.173_R6A

could this be the reason why?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Klaus N.:
H8216 is the model no.of your device. What [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] meant to say is that you have to take a firmware only for that model (there's also a H8276 and so on...don't use that!).

10/100 is the Android P beta, and the 2nd you mentioned one is the most current official version.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Nidhal AKA the king:
It's not listed with the 2018 models... check the screenshot!

***maybe will be added in another update, I didn't mean It won't be supported at all
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] ch3mn3y:
This screenshot is XperiFirm not Flashtool and it shows ONLY devices with firmwares AVAILABLE on Sony's servers.

Premium is not available yet so there is no firmware for it.

But if Sony doesn't change flashing protocol and Premium will use same one as XZ2, than it's already supported.

Depends what You mean by rooting. It won't root Your device like with preLollipop devices, but now You may use MAGISK to Root Your device. However it'd never needed Flashtool to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
Greets,

I am running stock AT&T (updated) ROM on my Tilt, and for the very first time, very odd behavior is occurring on the appointments.

Part of the appointments include a bunch of people's birthdays (which recur), and some are alternate weekly doctor's appointments which are always placed on saturday.

Yesterday would have been such a birthday (which I was told yesterday) and tomorrow is the doctor.

HOWEVER, today both have shown up as being for today (with the birthday having an arrow next to it, which i must assume means it was moved by the tilt to today).

Any ideas?

I am probable going to be getting a pixle 3 this year or next for my next phone. I wanted to know if the xl model has worse battery life compared to the normal size. I'm talking about years of use and long term. Does the size of a phone screen make the long term battery life worse?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Huh? The OG Pixel XL you are talking about right? Well in that case it has better battery backup than the smaller Pixel. Yes it has more resolution but the battery itself is much bigger leading to a better battery backup resulting device.
