Everything is fine, welcome to Extended support cycle from Sony. Its hardware is still great, so why not update it?

What unknown? What? Is this device have some problems? Maybe its CPU overheats? Maybe it has bad drivers? Maybe it's running on MTK?

There's everything obvious - Xperia X is still a great device, and it SHOULD get every security update.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
Initially X was never part of ANdroid 8 when sony released software binaries. however it was last minute include. the line was drawn at X-perf

It feels good how finally Android 8 is running stable on X however as daily driver and with burden of social apps. X starts lagging and overheats as you said! , many functions and camera don't work.

X is not MTK device
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gray47Maxx:
Lies. It was obvious from the start that it will get Oreo. Software binaries? Do you mean SODP ones?

It was running great from the start. Maybe only camera was a little worse.

That's only a problem of YOUR PERSONAL device. My X is neither lagging nor overheating even in a hot situations (tested in my bathroom with 41 gradus temperature, runs great). I don't have any problems with my X, neither all my X users I know from 4PDA. So stop telling people that Oreo is bad when YOUR device overheats and lags, please.

I suggest you to visit some local repair shops and ask them for checking your cooling system.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
personal attacks aside!

on this road map xperia X and X performance was added later, sony had cut-off taken for OREO for XZ PROJECT ONLY! however later two X devices added, A post was on xda did mention last year how Sony has announced to discontinue X and Xc when it was just on 7.0 only! back then everyone was hoping that it should get atleast 7.1, if not Oreo!

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x/how-to/futur-x-t3614147 <------check yourself

also sony added X, Xp and Xc later in 2017 for Oreo! the original cutoff was til XZ project only! X family was not part of it inicially

https://blogs.sonymobile.com/2017/08/31/xperia-android-8-0-oreo/

the Camera still cant record hd video more than 40 secons and shuts down due to heat.

I own two Xperia X, Black and Lime, so there goes your argument.

also its not my personal opinion and as Hardware there is NOTHING wrong with Xperia X. we are talking about software part.

I have tried my Black X with Omnirom 7.1.1 and 8.1 and the same X has

1. Amazing Batter Life

2. No overheating

3. no Lagging

4. Camera works perfect and records 4K

since you are using my modded kernels and ROOT ACCESS allows you to modify Oreo by having different modes in Magisks and/or control bloatware etc.

I would suggest you to flash oreo .2.70 right-away and use untouched for one weak with all the bells ringing and we will see :)
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] coconutxyz:
So do you mean nougat has much better battery than Oreo?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
Due to the following features I am using Oreo (XGEN) build on .2.50

1. Better Screen Resolution/Tone ( the tint in Oreo on screen is soothing to eyes as compare to N)

2. Cleartype ScreenFonts

3. Nighlight

4. Notification settings options and panel

5. Setting Menu simplified (a bit better than Nougat)

-- however these are all UI and cosmetic affects

I was happier and relaxed on the final build .252 (came dec17) android 7.1.1. I kept switching back to .252 after trying first two Oreo builds which I found horrible in terms of battery life & overheating; and its not just me, many user reported the same on various posts (in and out of XDA forums) about how after upgrading to Oreo they are facing overheating and battery drain issues. when X overheats it starts lagging.

10April18 build .2.50 (third attempt) has been quite better than its predecessor builds but still can't compete with dec17 build .252.

REMEMBER, my comparison / observation is on ROOTED Xperia-X
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] coconutxyz:
Yea I will for sure root all my android device so I needed some opinion on rooted device. Guess I might go back to nougat sometimes
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
i feel the same! i will go back to nougat once sony discontinue supporting X
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gray47Maxx:
I can't remember the original roadmap, but I can't trust XDA as well. So there you may be right.

UPD: You are wrong. It was included in the list from the start: proof, not updated. Wayback Machine link provided as well.

P.S. What a ridiculous source of the info - just a random guy.

Do you need my FHD 60 FPS video recorded on X without any additional cooling systems? I can provide one.

I have the same on stock Oreo, everything except the first point. OmniROM (and k4.4 in general) are more optimized.

Nice challenge!)

I'd like to accept it, but since I was already using Oreo on locked bl (before your kernel was released for 5121), I can share some thoughts. It was running stable, maybe camera was a little bit worse than I expected. No overheat (was it because of a winter?), no lags, no anything. It was a clean and stable ROM. So...

But thanks for the idea of challenge like this. I have a guy with untouched X, so maybe he will tell something there.

over-heating

Hi Guys,

My Xperia-X is replaced in this may month in warranty.

After replaced I am feeling too much overheating.

From the first day, I have an update to latest may security update.

Now I don't know this over-heating is due to may update or again I got faulty hardware by Sony.

What about you guys do you feel over-heating especially after may update?

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
Hi all. I've tried using USB joysticks and gamepads with my G5+, but without success. They are detected (i.e. by looking at logcat/dmesg), and they power off (lights go on), but I can't actually use them in any way. I've tested by using a Joystick test app, and a couple of games. In all cases there is no joystick detected.

I tried this with stock unrooted before, and again now under Lineage 14.1. Has anyone had any luck with this? Could another kernel enable joysticks? Other USB peripherals work fine, e.g. keyboard/mice/USB sticks.

Also, has anyone tried bluetooth joysticks/gamepads? If I'm out of luck with USB joysticks, might consider just getting a bluetooth one if I know they work.

Here's an example of the output from dmesg:

Well I've used all sorts of peripherials on stock, including a universal gamepad. It works flawlessly and gets detected, though I do have to add a keylayout file for it to work with games in its native mode. When switching to xbox input mode it's supported natively on Android.

Mine uses a 2.4GHz usb dongle which uses very little power, maybe it's a power draw related thing?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
I had considered of it was a power drain issue as well. I tried hooking up the same gamepad to an old Samsung galaxy s3, and it worked fine. Not sure that that tells us much.

In any case I decided to purchase a cheap Bluetooth gamepad to test, and I can use it with my laptop if it doesn't work with my g5+. So when it arrives, hopefully I can get it working.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otavio_aon:
Hi all,

I manage to (soft) brick my LG H815

It was working fine (using Nougat) until I decided it was time to poke with it (battery was draining way too fast)! Bad idea! :(

So I tried to upload a new ROM ... which happened to be a wrong variant (i suppose). After that, my device boots straight in to Download Mode all the time. However, I can put it in Fastboot mode (hold Vol + and connect USB cable).

But Fastboot mode doesn't seems to be of any use for me, as when I use ADB DEVICES it doesn't show my device (but it can reboot it, and even respond to a getvar command that shows that its bootloader is unlocked (printscreen attached)

I thought it could be a a driver problem (I use Win10 Pro - Build 16299), but LG Bridge seems to find my device ... but any attempt to fix/recover/update it always fail. Also, LGUP always give "error code = 0x2000, invalid command response" when I try to upload a new KDZ archive.

After 3 days reading all I could find and burning out my brain ... so, I'll be very gratefull if someone can give me a help :good::good:

PS: I added a few print screens from what i've got here. Pls let me know if there is any other useful info.

anyone....?

I'm willing to try any suggestion (phone still bricked and useless)... even if it seems similar/identical to previews try... and I'm happy to donate some gold coins (ie: paypal :highfive:) for suggestions that leads to fix it.

LGUP = does not seems to work

ADB commands = does not see the device
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
You can't use *adb* commands in *fastboot* mode!

So when you boot into fastboot only fastboot commands will work. Example: fastboot flash boot twrp.img

So download the latest preview TWRP from my server and rename it to twrp.img then do the above command while in fastboot mode.

This should bring up TWRP temporarely. But that wouldn't help a lot.

The fix would require SALT. You would extract with SALT the correct kdz variant of your model and flash the bootloader stack while in fastboot.

ALRIGHT ... after a few days I managed to install SALT (using a VirttualBox + FWUL 2.6 Forgetfull).

I did as instructed in the SALT tread

However, it failed to identify my device (attached print screen).

Any idea of what I should do? Am I skipping any crucial step? Could this problem be related to the "MODIFIED" mark that shows in red on my device Download Mode screen (photo attached)?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
if you use FWUL there is no need to install SALT. its already included (LG folder on the desktop) but anyways.

do you have attached the LG device in virtualbox settings after booted to download mode?

if yes: press the skip button when starting SALT and device is connected and open the advanced menu -> debug log -> upload button -> share the link

.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Try the same with USB 3 in VirtualBox settings
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Great. On of the first things which happen when SALT is starting up is it checks for a new version. Please do not skip the update. It's really necessary to use the latest SALT version and you're using an outdated one. So just update first when ever asked.

Then do a backup in SALT before doing anything else. You can mount folders from your windows to VirtualBox and then access it from there which is the best way to backup in a VM. Check the FWUL thread ftp a howto.

When starting the backup you get asked about the type: choose "basic" or when you want to backup all your internal storage (will take hours and needs 33 GB free disk space) choose the full one. Basic will have all partitions which are important on your phone just without your personal stuff and the ROM itself as that can be easily recovered by extracting a kdz.

Now extract a kdz file of your model with SALT (the partitions you need are listed on the next step). Ensure you have the latest SALT version and ensure that no folder or the kdz file contains any spaces in its name (known bug atm).

After you extracted the kdz boot your phone to fastboot mode instead of download mode and begin to flash the extracted partitions:

sbl1

rpm

sdi

pmic

hyp

laf

aboot

tz

system

boot

modem

factory

like that:

fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin

...

Then do this:

fastboot format userdata (will erase all your internal data)

fastboot format cache

fastboot reboot

Keep thumbs pressed. The first boot can take up to 15min!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otavio_aon:
SALT updated to 3.16.0 :good:

Basic (dont need my personal data) Backup DONE :good: (and verified)

(set a Virtual Box shared folder with Auto mount, Full access and Permanent)

... however, the next part It wasn't so clear for me:

1) Should I download a new KDZ file and get the partitions from there?

2) Or I should get the partitions that are currently on my device?

I tried both:

1) Tried to extract a random KDZ (downloaded a time ago), but it don't know what to expect in case of success. I got a <*.kd> file and a <*.params>

2) if that is the case, it isn't very clear how to do it
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Good!

Download and extract the latest version of h815 MM.. so I guess 20... whatever. Iirc 20p was the latest.

The backup with SALT is just to have it if something goes completely wrong. Then you may need it..

But to unbrick you should use the h815 20p kdz, extract it and after extraction completed you will be promoted by SALT to open the folder. Do that. Right click in that folder and choose : "open a terminal here". Then you can go on with the fastboot flash commands.

As said there is a known bug in SALT when the folder where the kdz is in contains spaces in its name or when the target folder where you extract the kdz to contains spaces in its name. So ensure that and you should be able to extract without a problem. If you can't extract a kdz share the SALT debug log after trying.

OT:

Consider to press thanks from time to time when you think you get help from someone ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otavio_aon:
I jsut cannot find the H815_20p anywhere ... so I'm considering using H815v29a (this version has already worked in the past) .... is it going to be a risky? Might it cause a problem? (SALT shows a AntiRollBack = 0 (which I suppose is good) in red (which I understand as a warning)

I also found the H815_20G at AutoPrime archive that seems to be an option...but I guess v29a is newer.

Also: is now the stage were I should get a rooted firmware?

Or I must go for a stock (and unrooted) ROM first... and then, when everything is done and working, I go and try to root it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
H815 20p is on my server, extracted or as a zip:

http://leech.binbash.it:8008/stock/LG/h815/20p/

Antirollback is in red because it's important not in general good or bad. If you would flash an ARB of anything higher then 0 to a h815 you will never be able to fully recover it.

Don't do any special things like rooting. First thing is to get back to normal and that's just pure stock.

Every side path may lead to issues.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otavio_aon:
So I've downloaded the H81520p_00 stock ROM from your server.

In topic #10 you said that I should get files as ".bin" but in your servers they are all ".image". Should I just rename it to change the file extension? Or do I need to convert it somehow?

I also tried to flash the "sdb1.bin" (assuming I just needed to rename the .image file) file into it ... but it didn't worked.

FIRST try:

rebooted in Fastboot mode

using FWUL 2.6 (same setup on VirtualBox), I started a terminal and entered command "fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin "

Got Message "< waiting for any device >" ... and it was only this, even after waiting 10min.

SECOND try:

rebooted in Fastboot mode

using Win10, I started a CMD (as Admin) and entered command "fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin " (PS: fastboot.exe in system path)

Got error message: FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in unlocked state)

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'sbl1' (1024 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.058s]
writing 'sbl1'...
FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in unlocked state)
finished. total time: 0.080s

​

So I decided to perform a simple test.

At Win10 CMD window, entered "fastboot getvar unlocked" ... and got "unlocked: yes || finished. total time: 0.008s"

At FWUL 2.6 Terminal, entered "fastboot getvar unlocked" ... and got same msg "< waiting for any device >". So apparently linux is connecting to the device while it's in download mode but cannot do it in fastboot mode.

[*] Turn OFF device
[*]remove battery
[*]hold Volume DOWN key
[*]insert battery back
[*]connect USB cable

For the bin/image question read FAQ #11 here: https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/tool-salt-lg-revolution-t3717864/post74811095

FWUL detects fastboot mode without any problems but when entering fastboot the USB id changes. That means when using VirtualBox you need to add that new USB device to FWUL. normally named android phone or similar.

But anyways the error you get in fastboot mode indicates that you can't flash anything useful in that firmware version. FWUL or windows makes no difference here.

So the only option is to flash in download mode then. Either come to IRC ( http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Carbonfusion-user ) or write me a PM with subject "SALT flashing mode".
