FYI: on the 20180430 build, I'm getting boot loops about 3 seconds after the lockscreen appears. This doesn't happen on first boot, only after setup.

This doesn't seem to be happening (yet?) on 20180427, so I'll be staying there for now. Thanks for maintaining this

Try to go to settings, configurations, buttons and turn OFF the switches for prevent accidental touch and po ket detection. Seems to be the reason and works for me now, for 11 days.

Not looking for help as much as sharing user experience.

Button configurations for prevent accidental touch and pocket detection are causing my issues. Turned off and seems to be working, for the last 11 days. Came from .145.

Bootloop

Hi,

let me thank You at first place for this ROM and thread.

But I can not manage to get it working. After install (RR+gapps) in TWRP, I get stuck on RR bootscreen, more than 20 minutes...

What can I be doing wrong?

It was a clean stock phone from factory until today.

By the way, I also was unable to do any firmware flashing neither via flashtool (doesn't offer XZ1c in dropdown menu and does'nt see the downloaded firmware), newflasher (no usb device detected), not OTA update nor official Sony flashtool (doesn't detect the device in fastboot mode). I am desperate, nothing really works, I only managed to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP and backup. Nothing else succesful.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!!

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] djdarkrider:
Format data in twrp(not same as wipe, all your files will be lost) and reflash rom. It will work.

And it seems you do not have flashing drivers installed. Read the manual on flashing again.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] vhatp:
Thanks a lot! Formatting did the job.

I am convinced I have the flashing drivers installed properly, Flashtool->Check drivers confirms that. But still, no XZ1 (no cod beginning with G) is listed on the devices select list.

I'd like to flash JanJan's kernel, but: Your guide says, flash kernels after RR, whereas JanJan's guide says, you need fresh stock firmware. So I am confused. Does it make sense to flash it over clean RR?

Again, thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] djdarkrider:
Janjan's kernel is only for stock firmware. Just use RR, we have a nice kernel included in rom.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] akonet.android:
With the official version, tapping notifications will crash System UI. Is anyone else having this?

Edit: reflashing and wiping cache solved the issue.

Russel: Looks like the OTA-Update Menu is missing. Looked into every Menu there. It only can be found by Search, but clicking on it sends you to the normal "Settings-System" Menu.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Omg bro, just open your eyes :p
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] muhschaf:
Hmm I thinking about to switch from LOS.

What's about the file encryption? Enforced and Perm on or optional?

b/c I have heavy trouble with the writing permissions and the encryption. I need a app writable Sdcard for sure and now search for a ROM that let me at least install the SD card fix for that "security" feature from google.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] akonet.android:
Thks for the latest update ?

Do you have flashable zip to share which could be used for example for ringtones, bootanimation etc?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Sry, but i don't understand what zip are you want. :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] akonet.android:
A zip that can be used to flash my own ringtones in TWRP into system/media/audio/ringtones. The zips I build are not working. Tried zips that work on my HTC 10 for roms with similar file structure will not work either.

I'd like to flash my own tones and bootanimation in one go after flashing new rom updates.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
I can only take solid green pictures since last update (6.1.0 20180711). Also Magisk safety CTS fails now.

Anything i can do besides roll back?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
You need flash latest firmware via newflasher, because I'm using blobs from v235 and don't have problems with camera
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Hmm why is there an OTA if you have to flash firmware and reflash RR every time?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Omg, do you reflash RR every time? Where I said that you need to reflash RR? If you can't flash firmware without reflash RR don't use it. That's all.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Well i did nothing like that.

I flashed OTA update RR 2 times since the inital install, first time no problems, last time camera pictures green. I have not flashed any firmware in between. You just told me i had to.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Thread updated!

Please read first post for general info
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] justinkase36:
Thank you fot that ROM. All these settings and adjustment possibilities is just awesome. But i´ve got a huge problem: i can´t do phonecalls. When i start a call, i hear the number sounds, hit the call button and it the call starts. The called number is ringing, but as soon the other person picks up the phone, i can´t hear anything and she can´t here me. the phonecall-time is running, but i can´t hear the other site/they can´t hear me. Anyone an idea how to fix that problem?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
After AOSP you MUST flash stock firmware and calls come back. Links for firmware in first post
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] justinkase36:
thanks for your replay. I tried to flash the firm235.zip by using TWRP 3.2.1-0 and recive the error "invalid zip file format". How do I flash the stock firmware correctly ? Can anyone help please?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
You have to flash it with newflasher, like first post describes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergen Setup:
Hi,

thank you russel5 for your work!

I got a G8441 since monday, first flashed RR, noticed the issue with the camera, then switched do Carbon Rom, everything working perfectly... however I got frustrated with Carbon as functionalities are very limited compared to RR.

Now I switched back to RR, my problem is: I dont do Windose and I prefer command line.

Is it possible to flash firmware on Linux or MacOS? I tried Flashtool on MacOS but it's crap.

Thanks ahead!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Newflasher had Linux version
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] justinkase36:
I´ve tried the whole weekend to flash the stock firmware with newflasher. I´ve tried all GordonGate drivers and the original sony driver, but all i get is "no usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xb00b!"

which driver do i have to take?

Anything else i´ve to do?

I´ve downloaded und unpacked the firm235.zip, installed the GordonGate drivers (tried all) but it can´t find my phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] duckstardeluxe:
Thanks for the great work with the rom. Since you took blobs from stock to provide camera, does the rom also have the VoLTE relevant stuff so it's supported?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergen Setup:
Hi,

Open your Device Manager, pick your Android device > Properties > Drivers then select GordonGate.7z.

After this my XZ1c was recognized (by Windows 10) and I could flash firm235 folder with newflasher.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergen Setup:
Anyone tried full phone encryption with this RR ROM ?

I gave it a try, "Encrypting phone" message have displayed for 8 hours until I decided to restart the device which compromised Resurrection Renix and erased all data.

Any advice or successful experience with full encryption is welcome!

Thanks ahead
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
Reboot into recovery, flash ROM zip, format data (not wipe), phone off, flash encrypted boot.img.

You will have full encrypted phone
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergen Setup:
Thanks russel5!

I had an issue with first install of RR with encrypted boot.img: it would not recognize my password at prompt.

If I flash ROM zip again and encrypted boot.img, can I restore TWRP backup then?

EDIT: It's impossible to restore non-encrypted backup after flashing encrypted boot.img.

Hence I set up my XZ1c from scratch and now it's fully encrypted.

RR is a beast, thanks again russel5 and xda devs!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
New version is out. You can download it from rom's updater or from direct link -- HERE

As always big thanks to [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]

Don't forget - if you are using encrypted phone flash this boot.img -- HERE

And the last, don't forget update your firmware -- HERE (newflasher included)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Thank you for your awsome work!

Just flashed latest version on my daily :)

Is there a way to re-enable and bind the hardware camera Key to a camera app?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
What do you mean, for me key is working as it should
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Kofoedsan:
I have the camera problem too.

Can press the camera button and the phone vibrates but nothing happens.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Actually in the current release, the camera button is working for me. Even though it is "slow" (takes long for the app to actually start), hence defeating the purpose a bit.

But in previous versions it never worked for me, i always thought it is because of the not-stock camera app.

A way to configure the button would be nice thought.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Can we flash 0823 via OTA or do we need firmware blob?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kahokaho:
Hi, Russel, thank you for this great rom.

I am using stock rom and want to have a try, but I worry about the encrypted boot.img. Do I have to format data partition if I want to keep encryption? It means I will lost all my data?

And does super slow motion works in this rom?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] S.T.R XE:
thanks for your great work！

is this rom discontinued？
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
The last OTA is from 0902, id say no :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] DerSteppo:
Quick noob question: do I have to flash the boot.img for encrypted devices every time after I update RR? Today, I dirty flashed the version of 20180902 and now I stuck in boot loop. Flashing an older version did not help yet :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] akonet.android:
0823 release and something broke the alarm, second time this week I overslept because the alarm was not triggered. Alarms are turned on but there's no notification icon for it. Any advise?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Well i have 0902 but never had issues with the alarm in previous versions. Have you tried re-creating your alarms?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] DerSteppo:
I'm on 0902 now and people tell me that the call quality is bad, like I was far away or had a napkin over the microphone. Anyone else with the same issue?

Edit: Alarms work fine for me, too, btw. I had a clean, fresh installation of RR.

Hello,

first of all...thx for supporting this amazing phone with your RR rom...good work !

I want to update to RR 6.2.0 from 15.09. Are there any Sony firmware files that I have to patch through TWRP before updating the ROM? How do I do that? Never had a Sony phone before, dont know how to flash firmware parts. Thx for your guide !
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] DerSteppo:
Flashed latest update from 15/09 today and call quality is back to normal, crystal clear :good:

Thank you so much for bringing this awesome rom to our devices! :fingers-crossed: keep up the great work.

Guys, I'm still rocking stock firmware,but the battery life is going on my nerves. I was planning to wait for android 9 but it seems that sony is not so keen to repair these issues. I was wondering about battery life on RR, it's the same or somewhat better?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Well i am not sure how "stock" compares to RR since i have run this phone on stock bloat for like 5 seconds and have been running something custom ever since but i feel battery life on RR as my daily is quite good.

I didnt have much SOT today but i get over 2 days easy on any usage.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
Please, what is your SOT? I manage to get around 6h although "phone idle" uses almost 50% of the battery
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Kofoedsan:
Anyone else having trouble with background apps not waking on the latest version?

For me, my music player might randomly stop, likewise does Messenger only show notification once I wake the phone to see the lockscreen.

Some apps like the email app seems to be working fine though??

How can i geht my hands on the current firmware blob to use OTA?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
You can flash latest firmware for your brand via newflasher first, then install rom
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Well i mean where to i get the new firmware parts so i dont have to full wipe ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
I delete it because for different brand and country Sony uses different oem files
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
So how would i go about updating my phone without having to wipe on every OTA update? Could i download FW with XperiFirm, remove userdata_X-FLASH-CUST* file and just flash it with newflasher, then install RR.zip afterwards and be done ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
I update first post, take a look.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Meth0d:
Thank you very much. I flashed before you posted and didnt delete the kernel + system everything seems fine thought :)

Kernel should come with the RR.zip anyways ?

Edit: if i remove all those *.sin files you mentioned in the first post, all thats left in G8441_Customized DE_1310-4373_47.1.A.16.20_R6B is around 100MB?

I would have thought that security patches are in the system "image" but what do i know :)

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] vnbm:
Hold 'Volume UP' and power button at same time. Will perform hard reset.

Make sure you have formatted the data partition (TWRP > Wipe > Format Data) as well as a normal wipe (Cache/Delvik). I had the same issue after coming from LineageOS.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] russel5:
This is because you all have encrypted phone, read first post and you see that you need flash special boot
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I am sure the phone is not encrypted. I bought it factory reset and I didn't notice any encryption. It didn't ask for any passwords or anything.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Btw, out of curiosity, how comes the Xz1 (Compact) is not listed on the RR official website when it's supposedly officially supported? I found this website: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=274229
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think I found a bug. No matter the settings, battery percentage always shows to the left of the battery icon.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Fung-i:
Great rom, used it as a daily driver on my previous phone and rooted my xz1c before I started using it just to install it again. It seems to work fine, but is there a way to lower the lowest brightness when using manual brightness? It's really bright at night, even at lowest. Can't find any magisk/xposed modules that does that (only the opposite).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Does the ROM contain the DRM fixes or not? I do not get green photos anymore, but all my photos are complete muddy crap. No sharpness whatsoever.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] DerSteppo:
[MENTION=7449255]WalrusInAnus[/MENTION] : my photos are fine, no issues. I am running RRv6.2.1-20181009. I am not sure which firmware I am using, if someone can tell me how to check I am happy to share the details.

I have notices a little bug in the recent version: I am using a BT headset and BT is always switched on on my phone. Previously, when I switched the headset on it would automatically connect to the phone. With the latest RR release, it doesn't always (mostly it doesn't), so I have to switch off BT on the phone and back on and then it would connect with no problems. Audio quality is superb as before.

All in all, this rom is awesome! Thanks for all who contributed to make this thing possible!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There seems to be something going on with brightness as well. I'd be typing messages and the screen's brightness would fluctuate in a seemingly random pattern.

New install

Hi,

My phone has not been updated for a while, so I decided to install your ROM, because I know your work from an older phone (galaxy S 2, I believe, but not sure, long time ago ^^)

I was on stock ROM, with kernel and drm fix.

As I feel concerned by green pics, first I used xperifirm and newflasher to get the last update. Xperifirm downloaded G8441_Customized FR_1310-8853_47.1.A.12.270_R9B

I tried to make a picture : green. Video ok, selfie ok.

I then tried to flash firm270 with newflasher : same result

I then tried to flash firm20 with newflasher : same result

I then flashed recovery TWRP, then booted it, then flashed RR ROM and GAPPS.

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles...

10 minutes later, I read "you need to format, not just wipe, if your phone has encryption"

I was pretty sure it hasn't, but once you set a pattern or a PIN code, it has. If TWRP asks you a pattern, you need to format, not juste wipe.

After formatting, then reboot again into recovery, I flashed again RR ROM and GAPPS, and ROM has booted in 2 minutes.

After finishing initial setup, I'm very nervous to try to make a picture

Verdict : NO green picture.

Thanks for all, I'm very happy with my new phone ^^

Edit : tried to install Magisk v16.0 as you said previously, but when flashing it with TWRP (without any problem), Magisk Manager didn't see it, still offers me to install 17.1

So I flashed 17.1, without any problem too, and it's OK (ctsProfile: false & basicIntegrity: true)

Edit 2 : obviously, "ctsProfile" must be true. Then I downloaded a patch for Magisk 17+, but when I flashed it by TWRP, after reboot Magisk Manager told me "no magisk installed, would you like to install 17.1 ?"

so I booted in recovery, once again, and flashed again Magisk 17.1

After reboot, Magisk is ok, all checks are green.
