Did the "vbmeta" parameters work?

Did you use the stockkernel and the twrp installer with oreo? (only a single zip since PIE)

and did you only use the TWRP matching the firmware version?

If the camera preview is black, you need to use xperifix on Oreo, shoot a picture and flash the cmaerafix.zip on PIE (bundled with TWRP).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
TWRP will be delayed.

Need to investigate filesystem errors on my HDD.

Running a long S.M.A.R.T. (takes ~8 hours)

Maybe I need a new HDD.

Or just my HDD dock is faulty.

Or i did disconnect the HDD from power too often and just need to repair the failsystem (which isn't reparable so I would need to move many files and find storage to store it temporally).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
When I run fastboot --disable-verity… There are no errors and it says it succeeded.

On oreo once in twrp I flash the twrp zip, (unsure why we need to flash it when we are already in it but I assumed it was for permanence..? Doesn't really matter) then reboot recovery, then flash magisk, then stockkernel in slot a and b. (Don't know what that is either.)

Was this wrong?

On pie, much the same, first flah the twrp then reboot and then magisk.

On oreo I used your provided stock rom and twrp, on pie I used an xperiflash rom and your pie twrp zip

On oreo the preview is black and the saved pictures are green.

I couldn't flash the camerafix on pie since I can't get twrp working alongside system yet. My end goal naturally is rooted stock so once I understand completely how to flash properly I will hopefully be able to just do that.

But at this point I would even be okay with xperifix on oreo, if that's what it takes to have everything working. If I can get my damned windows machine to install sony drivers. There's a reason my main laptop is linux!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
On oreo you need to flash stockkernel and then twrp zip after flashing the twrp.img.

We need it because "fastboot boot twrp.img" didn't worked in the past.

(Will work in next release)

(without flashing the kernel and twrp again the system wouldn't boot)

The PIE instructions on the first page are right :)

first we should make OREO and TWRP bootable

First flash oreo and boot it.

Then follow the TWRP instructions but flash the stock kernel zip as first zip and then the twrp zip.

If xperifix got your camera back to work, you can upgrade to PIE and flash the bundled camerafix.zip

(The march release isn't compatible with my newest TWRP release, february .202 is needed and since I'm investigating the HDD problems, the new TWRP delays)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Okay thanks a ton! I have oreo with broken camera and twrp. Magisk flashed.

Now what are the steps to have pie with camera?

Use xperifix on current system>

Upgrade to pie>

Take picture on pie>

Flash camerafix.zip in twrp?

Thanks also for such fast replies!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
No problem, you're welcome! :)

Sadly xperifix costs money.

It needs flashed in A/B and VENDOR mode.

You also need to put your phone into permissive (in the running system open a terminal and write "su; setenforce 0; getenforce", it should write "permissive")

Now your camera should shoot photos.

Then you try to get a .202 PIE from xperifirm and flash the camerafix.zip in TWRP.

The camera should work (without low light noise reduction).

The twrp for the newest firmware comes later.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
I've run xperifix but I don't see any changes- I still have a black preview, but now I can shoot photos that aren't green. I have to update to pie to flash the camerafix to get previews??
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Is your selinux permissive?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
now it is (selinux switch)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Just apply in a terminal app "su; setenforce 0; getenforce"

It should give you "permissive" as last response.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
In ADB shell or in a terminal emulator? And once it is in permissive, then what?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
You can decide it

After that test the camera preview please.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Still black after setting permissive. I do want to upgrade to pie, so I don't mind doing that, I just want to make sure I do everything I need to in oreo first. Also, if the pie upgrade is with newflasher, how does the new stock rom not overwrite all the progress of flashing up till now?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
First the Oreo preview needs to work.

Did xperifix install successful?

Did you choose the magisk.zip while installing xperifirm?

You'd you install it as A/B Vendor?

Did you execute the vbmeta parameters successfully?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Yes

Yes, and yes

After running xperifix? No, I didn't try. I thought that was for getting it to boot system
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
I knew it :p
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
And I just discovered that I can't take pictures while recording video either. They save green even after running xperifix. The camera app is buggy as well, when switching to video mode I have a preview, but I see green noise on the side of the screen. when I toggle hdr, preview disappears. Video seems to have no stabilization at all, jerky and bumpy.

Feels like xperifix hasn't really done any fix..

Summary of current status is:

oero, twrp, magisk 17, rooted,selinux permissive.

no camera preview and saves green pics while recoriding.

I don't know how to check the other drm features to see if xperfix fixed those
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Do you have a drmfix.so and a drm****.so somewhere in /vendor on your oreo system in a lib and a lib64 folder ?

**** = the censored name of the file. "fu*k" "f*ck"

Now you know it. :P
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Yes i see the files
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
With which firmware did you unlock which device?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
The device is h8216. what do you mean which firmware?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] janolucero:
patiently waiting for [MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION] update :P
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I mean the firmware version when you unlocked the bootloader of your XZ2 single sim :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
smartctl

Self-test execution status: ( 243)	Self-test routine in progress...
30% of test remaining.

:p
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
I'm not sure..

I did like 8 OTA upgrades as soon as I got the phone, it was in pie somewhere
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
If unlocked with or after .126 you don't need xperifix on oreo and the pie camerafix will break your camera.

If you unlocked on PIE before .126 things were different.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
It was the last one, I kept updating until there were no more.

So, what do I do now?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Does a fresh, clean PIE without camerafix.zip have a working camera?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Just flashing a stock pie rom with newflasher? No.

But, I haven't done that after xperifix. Is it worth a shot or will that destroy my chances?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shoey63:
Did you read this in the first post?

Flash latest pie with newflasher. Full flash, remove nothing from the bundled files. Then try your camera.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
I flashed pie from xperiflash, camera still broken. Tried flashing twrp/magisk as per instructions in first post, and now it's stuck on sony screen when trying to boot system again. Was I not supposed to flash twrp after the pie upgrade? Regardless, I can flash stock pie or Martin's oreo again, whatever will get me to the end result of rooted pie+working camera.

I would really like stock but if the only way to have this is on a custom rom like lineage or omni I guess I have to do that...

Will a custom rom work or will the problem persist?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
I can only share my experience with OmniROM. Here the camera works without problems by me.

Probably not same quality as stock Rom with locked BL but for me it's enough.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I assume because you tried my twrp together with the march security update, not February.

March twrp is still under construction. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
I see. So using your pie rom instead of xperifix's should work?

And, is there any way to get camera working on stock? I mean this is a common issue, people have solved it, I just need to do the right things..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
The pie ROM ending with .202 on xperifirm works :)

Usually people unlocking before .126 pie used xperifix on Oreo to get camera working (modifies TA partition) and then on PIE the camerafix.zip

The other people just having a working camera

I am one of the xperifix people. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
So if I unlocked after .126, I'm basically screwed?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Then your preview should work if you don't use any fix :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
Oh. That's much better. Anyway, I flashed an xperifirm .202, and the camera worked completely, no bugs, no green, with preview, in photo mode and during a video and sans green noise I mentioned earlier. Flashed twrp and root as in OP and all is good now- Finally I am on rooted pie with fully working camera. I don't know how to check if xperifix drmfix worked or not but I don't really care at this point.

Thanks so much Martin! You really helped me and saved me the price of a new phone- I was pretty sure I had completely bricked it, or messed it up beyond repair. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Thank you and you're welcome :)

You could try if you get the xperifix money back since you don't need it since you unlocked with or after .126 :)

And I try to release the march twrp until the end of the week

I sadly can't promise it :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kobro:
His refund policy is no refunds- which makes sense, and I knew that before I purchased.

Truth be told this guy is a genius- imagine how much money chainfire would have if each download cost one penny!

But guys like you are the real mvps, doing all this hard work for no reward. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hingbong:
after .126, unlocking the xz2's bootloader will not break the camera?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Yes, but recommend updating to the newest monthly firmware first.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Klaus N.:
Correct!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hingbong:
my phone is on 52.0.A.8.14 and i will unlock it at this weekend,and wait for your March SonyAosp build :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Hehe :D

But sadly OEM v8 will contain further camera fixes. You decide if the camera is fine for you at the moment :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hingbong:
i don't have a try so i don't know,but at least i need it can shot on the third party app for scanning the qr code.

can it?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
It can scan them on the primary app too.

But 3rd party apps are a bit dark.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mirhl:
I am not sure why you are constantly trying to use smart tools to repair the filesystem.

The only thing they can do, if even, is check if there's a physical/hardware problem.

What you are probably looking for is fsck.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Why "constantlyx and why do you interpret "test" as repair.

It's an analystic tool.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I wrote j4nn a message for help, because the compiled kernel I created with his commit didn't fasboot boot boot.img

Maybe it's because the march kernel is a bit different, I didn't tried it with the February kernel now.

Will do it tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MurroFX:
Hi MartinX3 ?

Will you have the NEW TWRP with working touch ready today....? ? ?

I Really need touch, confused with ALL the cmd's........
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Reverted my try to use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" hack on the stock kernel

reverted back to zip installer solution.

touch on xz3 should be fixed.

sadly stuck on twrp logo.

maybe because of my switch from -eng to -userdebug.

Will investigate tomorrow (evening). :)

Now my social life needs me a bit. :)

(I hate it if things don't run well.)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MurroFX:
Thanks ☺
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bartys:
hi will fastboot boot twrp.img work on this new build or still no?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hingbong:
no,i get stuck on logo
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Still no

I'll continue my work today :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
25.03.2019

PS: May take up to 1 hour until it got uploaded for every device.

And no "fastboot boot twrp.img" support.

We wasn't able to reproduce a working kernel.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mimi73:
if i unlock bootloader in fw 52.0.A.8.14 what i lose ??

is it safe for camera and other apps??
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Sony backup restore

Sony camera noise reduction algorithm in low light conditions

Sony OTA updater

Is there something else?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mimi73:
Will there be a solution to these problems in the future... after i unlocking bootloader now ??
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
We don't know, or know it someone else?

Btw.

Custom ROMs running completely fine without DRM.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mimi73:
thank you

i hope there will be a DRM fixe from someone like you ...and not from someone that selling everything with money.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
If the person invested much much time to fix it on many phones, why not want a single payment for life long support?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mimi73:
you should know that not all country of world have a internet payment method.

sorry for my many question

is it eXistenZ Pie rom have some fix's that you tell me ??

can i go back to the stock rom from unlocking bootloader and twrp or root.. without losing ota update and noise reduction ??
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
are there any paid methods for a copy of drm in xz2? and whether these drm change with the system or are they permanent with each ota?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
No way to relock bootloader.

Only for Oreo.

Not persistent.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
I now but copy drm before unlock?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandemic:
Not working and there is no way we can back up our drm.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nreuge:
It's not presently possible. If one day someone find an exploit, it could be possible, but don't count too much on that...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
You have big minds, you can think of something :) and how sony drm loads on locked bootloader?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Already answered several times.

No.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
How does Sony upload keys?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Which keys?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
drm keys

Regards
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
With hardwired copper
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
? what? this is transmitted cable or what?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Yes. Like the other partitions on the UFS
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
all phones have the same drm keys or are each unique?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Unique, like the IMEI and MAC-Adress
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
i.e. it is enough to get the cable and the case :)

Thanks for info
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I.e. every except Sony has a high chance to brick the phone forever :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
last question :) and how to force the phone to not reset after unlocking the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
The bootloader is a Blackbox

Wrong DRM keys or any modification will kill it forever :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nreuge:
That's not exactly true, Sony repair center can restore DRM keys, if you pay of course :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
They change your motherboard with your UFS containing your IMEI and DRM partition :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nreuge:
Yes. It happened to me with my old Z5. Its MB had died, it was unlocked. It was still under warranty, Sony had repaired it for free (they did not verify if I had unlocked it or no). In the meantime, someone found an exploit to backup DRM keys :cool:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Hot!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nreuge:
So, if you want to relock bootloader for free, you can still try to find a way to burn your MB... lol
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scaniathe:
and you can not ask for a copy of the keys on the sony repair center?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Of course not
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Muahaha
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nreuge:
No because if you can't backup you can't restore...

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vojtoun:
Hello. I dont get it. how to get rid of touch not working with new TWRP? I have XZ2c. After flashing twrp, then vbmeta, then disconnecting phone from PC and booting into TWRP i got stuck on enter password and touch not working.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Try booting into twrp without usb cable like mentioned in the first post
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vojtoun:
Agter flashing vbmeta, i dosconnected USB, booted to TWRP with power and volume minus and touch screen not working :( Only TWRP with touch working for me was 163. That was also my first TWRP on this phone. If i could at least boot my phone normally without loosing data, but I am in bootlop xD
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Oh, I tested it now again :(

Turned device off.

Booted with hardware buttons in twrp.

No touch.

Turned with hardware buttons off.

Booted with hardware buttons in twrp.

Touch works

Does this help you ? :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vojtoun:
So, flashed TWRP, vbmeta, disconnected, turned off, booted in TWRP, no touch. What do you mean by "Turned with hardware buttons off." ? I am stucken on TWRP screen with enter password .
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Twice with hardware buttons
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vojtoun:
Turn the phone twice using HW buttons? (power and volume to turn it off?) and then booting to TWRP? Sadly, didnt work. Or i dont understand you in right way.

EDIT- must donw that four time in a row :D That is pretty strange solution, but hey, thanks :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Hihi you're welcome :)

March is a bit weird.

They implemented the Q split selinux policy

It broke the decryption and I assume it kills the touch sometimes :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Regarding Touch/MTP problems on STOCK TWRP.

1. Turn off phone

2. Use VOL+DOWN to go to TWRP

3. No touch / twrp (stock touch needs stock kernel modules to get load with insmod)

4. Turn of with VOL+UP

5. Use VOL+DOWN to go to TWRP

6. Touch and MTP works

AOSP will be affected too.

But there should only be MTP the problem. (I use a hack to get touch in combination with the stock kernel).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/android_bootable_recovery/+/33772/

should fix the touch and mtp bug.

I will rerelease TWRP and remove the last build from AFH in my next free time!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TPlatt:
Hey martix, it's been awhile for me and I've gone back to read through some posts. But did the whole USA kernel thing get fixed? I had to go back stock without root because you had a UK one on here. So I couldn't get phone service.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I use German

The USA had a different firmware number, but now it is in sync with the European and Asian

You can try it, I hope it works :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boringpie:
Please excuse my ignorance, but in plain English term does it mean a fix/root is available soon for XZ2, so that I can use the camera again? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Root is available.

The drm fix to fix the camera will be available, after TWRP got released.

I am not sure, if the AOSP build has a working camera.

PS:

Upload stopped during the night, will upload it this evening 21:00+2.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
15.09.2018

PS: I will compress the other files this evening, too.

It will save bandwith.

I compressed the system.img by almost 60%.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Hehe, thank you for the testing. :)

The bootloader patch got released, but the aosp project is still not stable.

So we need to wait for the official announcement of jerpelea, that the XZ2 become part of the open devices project. :D

And that this issue got closed

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/pull/1688

Then the kernel is stable enough to use it for twrp. :)

I better try to use the latest stock kernel for twrp later. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nasko_spasko:
It was fun, though. Never had the time to play with the aosp build system before. It's good that Sony has the OpenDevices program. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Oh yeah :D

If you ignore the drm ****, it is a nice source to fix custom ROM bugs and get a stable aosp ROM with professional developers. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Is that okay?
