You've to install Stock firmware. I did the same because accidentally i wiped my internal storage. I flashed ZUI 2.5 via MiFlashTool. All the relevant information can be found in the link https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/development/rom-lenovo-zuk-z2-plus-2132-indian-t3678826/amp/

Wiping internal storage was the sole mistake. After all steps provided in the above link, i was able to use my phone again. Then, afterwards i did all the rooting process again. This process didn't lock my bootloader so it was already unlocked. Mind you i never flashed any treble rom. I hope it helps

[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
Hi, I want to increase the very low default volume of the headphone jack on the Xperia XA2. I'm using AIMP which has a built-in EQ and preamp which works well but leads to high distortion (these headphones can handle a lot more without distortion).

On other devices / custom ROMs there is usually a file in /system/etc/ such as mixer_gains.xml, mixer_paths.xml or other configuration file which can be edited to increase the volume output from the hardware with (little to) no distortion. With the latest firmware 50.1.A.10.40, I've explored this folder with a system file explorer and most of the obvious choices aren't there, there doesn't seem to be any file which I could modify to increase the volume.

(I will mention there are a lot of files in /system/*vendor*/etc/ which appear to be of the correct format, but I don't know if any of these are actually used by the system).

I don't want to use a software solution (app from Play Store, etc) since these seem to use an algorithm to increase the gain in software leading to high levels of distortion. I haven't unlocked my bootloader / rooted since there's no guarantee that I'll be able to increase the volume anyway. Has anybody has success increasing the volume on this or a similar device?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
Ok, I couldn't stand it any longer so I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.

Since I couldn't figure out exactly where wired headphones were referenced in the mixer_paths*.xml in /vendor/etc/, using FX file explorer I copied them to a folder and with Notepad++ on my PC replaced each instance of the default volume in all the files (84) with a higher value (96), before copying them back into /vendor/etc/.

After a reboot... system volume (and headphone volume) now at a healthy* level :)

If anybody wants me to upload a zip of the modified files, you could copy them into /vendor/etc/ using an appropriate file manager (provided you have unlocked the bootloader and are rooted).
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
After a dozen reboots or so, I found the values referencing wired headphone volume.

In /vendor/etc/, the file mixer_paths_mtp.xml (lines 313, 314):

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />

<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />

These lines can be modified to increase / decrease the wired headphone volume. I've increased them to 100 in my setup.

The following lines (RX3 RX4 and/or RX5) appear to modify the volume of the phone speaker.

I've attached a modified mixer_paths_mtp.xml which you can copy to /vendor/etc/, although it may be easier to simply modify the relevant lines in a root enabled text editor on your phone.

Requires a reboot to take effect.

This would be the first thing I look for after buying a new phone. I hope it helps somebody. Thank you :)
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] jimmygumble:
Great stuff.

Quick question. Do you live within the EU (I do). My phone is also a bit quiet.

Would be interesting to compare values from phones from inside and outside the EU with the enforced volume limits
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
Certainly would be interesting, and that's a potential avenue for increasing the volume without rooting (though I know very little about how Sony distributes their firmware). Yeah, in the EU and I had heard (barely, haha) that there were volume limits so guessed that may have something to do with it.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] Meloferz:
Using a Xperia XA2 bought from USA, and flashed the GEL Customized version (Latin American version), and values are the same... All RX Digital Volume are limited to 84.

Hey, trying to use skipsoft to unlock my bootloader, install twrp, etc. I select the unlock bootloader option, it reboots to fastboot, notes that the bootloader is locked, but then says bootloader already unlocked no data will be wiped rebooting to android. What can I try to get around this? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Which phone variant do you have? What is the status of the "Allow OEM Unlocking toggle" under Developer Settings? That has to be toggled on first. It should be clearly "on" and not greyed out. If you have the 2XL, you can run the IMEI through this link to verify the variant you have. Under Buyer Name It should say "Google_Open_64GB" or similar.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GunnermanBill:
variant is	GOOGLE_VRZ_128G

Allow Oem Unlocking Toggle is greyed out for some reason.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Well unfortunately there is your reason. Your bootloader cannot be unlocked because your variant is Verizon. Verizon's are bootloader locked and this cannot be overcome. As such you will not be able to flash a custom recovery, flash full Google factory images, or root the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GunnermanBill:
Well that's new as far as google phones go
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Sorry to say but it's not new for Verizon variants of Pixel or Nexus (or almost any other phone Verizon sells with very few exceptions). Verizon refuses to allow their users to unlock their own bootloader- including Google phones. Your Verizon phone is bootloader-locked and there is nothing you can do about it. Verizon phones are sometimes sold at deep discounts with the hook of a multi-year service agreement. Have you ever heard the term "The Red Devil" used for Verizon? It's not new either. Sorry to bring you the bad news, but it is true. There are many threads here on XDA which will confirm this. Best of luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GunnermanBill:
It's no big deal, my gf took the upgrade to Pie and hates it and I was just gonna root mine before it started prompting me. Someone will get it unlocked in a year or something like always. As far as I can tell the pixel line is the first that Verizon did this with, we had Galaxy Nexus' a long time ago and those weren't locked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Verizon users have been hoping for an unlock method since the 2XL's release.

Look at this thread for more information on that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GunnermanBill:
i mean it only happened for the regular pixels in 2016. I'm in no rush, like i said NBD
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kickenwing13:
I'm also trying to relock, just used your link. I'm on the google version running android p. I unlocked a long time ago, but never ended up doing anything with it. I have an RMA coming and the option is grayed out and wugs is failing ... .. Thought about trying to downgrade to O and trying my luck on "android o"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You may not have unlocked critical. There are two separate commands. Anyway, since your RMA is on the way just wait until it arrives, update it to Pie and then do a data transfer for all your settings/data. Once your new phone is set up, just do a FDR before sending it back. You do NOT need to relock the phone. They do not care. Just FDR to wipe your personal data off the phone. Lastly, you want to de-register or remove that old phone from your Google account before sending it back. Best of luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kickenwing13:
Thank you so much dude. I know you're right . I used the toolkit and nothing after unlocking ever worked and I'm assuming it's because of that .... I've been telling myself I need to learn it the old fashioned way but have never been able to properly install adb and all that stuff..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I would encourage you to just "install" adb/fastboot. It is literally opening a zip file and extracting everything into a new folder. Then adding that folder to your path statement (Windows) means you can use the command from anywhere. For example I created a folder c:\adb and just dumped the files in there. I see you already have opened the flash-all.bat script and are poking around ... so in the beginning you can just cut and paste those commands if you want to do things manually -or- just run the script. You can always get the latest standalone binaries direct from Google. Ditch the toolkits and you will be glad you did. It is just not that hard, and you will know how to get yourself out of a jam later. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kickenwing13:

This is the first phone i haven't installed a custom ROM on because the unlock and root stuff absolutely failed...
[Magisk] starbright_:
In this case it is terminal emulator or ghost commander (FDROID) that doesn't get root permissions.

I can type in su in terminal but nothing happened at all. I expected that Magisk pops up and asking for SU permission.

/sbin/su is linked to /root/x....

Same for ghost commander, while apps as AFwall+, TitaniumBackup and Xposed Installer are recognised in Magisk. What is the difference?

Ahead I found that Q/A post about

https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskRootIssues

but either I don't understand really or it doesn't work

I can't create that link in terminal (ln -s /sbin/su /system/xbin/su) as permissions denied (see above)

Additional the link to MagiskSU+ (https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskSU) is not showing anything.
[Magisk] pix106:
you first have to mount your /system partition RW :

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su.old
ln -s /sbin/su /system/xbin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system

i just did so, it's hacky, but it worked and titanium backup finaly asked for root

EDIT:
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Don't mount /system rw if you care about keeping your mods systemless... I saw I had missed to note that in the wiki. Fixed...

I tested Ghost Commander and it'll only request superuser access if you enable a root option in the app settings (can't quite remember what it was called and I don't have the app installed anymore).

Generally these kind of issues are with the app, not Magisk... Especially if you have other apps requesting root without issue.
[Magisk] pix106:
you're right, i'm quite new to systemless and have old habits... :)
[Magisk] starbright_:
Strange thing, after a reboot (hasn't been the first after installing Magisk) it works - and it ask me for root. Don't know what have been the reason. The root option was enabled even before....

anyone find solution for this

/////app doesn't request root / Magisk doesn't recognice root request

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
I'm not familiar with what the root process is for your device or what firmware versions are available. Is there a working twrp recovery for the G6 Play? If that's the case you should only need to boot twrp and flash magisk 16 via twrp. It should take care of the rest.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] keznip:
I don't think there is twrp recovery before the OTA update. I haven't came across one. I messed with my phone the other day trying to root it and got the boot loop, and I found a twrp recovery file the the LATEST update using that.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
Can you link to the twrp and root method? I have never heard of twrp being dependent on a specific firmware version. Root can be dependent on a firmware version for sure.

Presenting the 4.4 Linux kernel successfully booting on our Z2 plus​

DISCLAIMER-> Do not clog the thread with bug reports which are already known, do not fight, be respectful

Background-​

So the other day I got my lenovo a6000 exchanged for Z2 plus ^Windows XP Error sound plays^ and was roaming around the community groups and got in touch with [MENTION=620082]ZyxxeZ[/MENTION] when [MENTION=3066063]mrhacker[/MENTION]5476 added me to his group, so then i planned about bringing TheRagingBeast Kernel to the z2 plus but felt pretty lazy and was clogged around with college stuffs, so we dropped the idea and thought about this 4.4 kernel and started working on it, so I and DmitriiKudas worked our azzess off and successfully booted it.

What Works currently-​

Boots

RIL

FingerPrint Sensor

Haptic Feedbacks

Proximity sensor

Calls are bugged a bit

Battery Gauge driver

USB gets detected but doesnt charge

Bugs-​

Camera

USB

Sound

Vol down, Power button [Press Home to wake Works]

Wifi drivers are not yet included in the source as its not our priority

Downloads->

https://transfer.sh/GiT7K/B00ty-4.4_z2_plus.zip

Notes->

1] The kernel currently only boots on Nougat and Old Tree OREO/PIE ROMs, don't complain if it doesnt boot on treble/new trees.

2]Do not copy paste the work anywhere else.

3]The kernel may take around 1-2 months to turn out as fully stable.

4]Some devices may face a "Blue Screen" after flashing the kernel, those users are advised to update their bootloaders via flashing latest QFIL Stock ROMs after that kernel will boot, confirmed by Dmitrii.

We appreciate any sort of contributions to the kernel, report bugs with proper kernel logs whenever you do.
