I had the same issue after upgrading with built-in updater despite having no gapps installed, but both with or without Magisk. Moreover, instead of shutting down the phone reboots into stock Android (not LineageOS) recovery which said that my system partition is corruted and offered me to reboot again or do a hard reset. I've reinstalled the build with TWRP and everything seemed fine before flashing Magisk, and now it happens again.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
You sure you have matching firmware on both slots then?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Casserole:
I don't really know, but judging by the fact everything was fine before, I suppose yes.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
So you were updating just fine until today?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Casserole:
Yes.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Malizor:
I just updated from the March 25th build to March 26th and I encounter the very same problem.

Strangely enough, I noticed the phone boots and work fine while the USB cable is plugged-in. A few seconds after I unplug the cable, the phone display that it is shutting down and reboot me into Android recovery.

I don't know what to look for in logcat as it is flooding quite a lot.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
[MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION] There's sth wrong with this update for sure, i've reinstall the 25th update without gapps using twrp and then used the updater to update... whenever i boot up it starts to shutdown automaticaly.

Could you try it for yourself please?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Get a logcat.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Malizor:
Here is the logcat I managed to get: https://seafile.malizor.org/f/0befb0f70b8d43edbb02/?dl=1

As you can see it is flooding a lot more than normal. Here I unplugged the USB cable ~5 seconds before the phone shutdown. I had to save the logs manually before then, so the last lines are missing.

For now I booted on the former slot, so I'm back to a working phone with March 25th build.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Ok. That makes sense; I'll fix that.

EDIT: Probably fixed in next build.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperiaf:
does TWRP support Pie data decryption now ..？

cuz there https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxa2.html is no Changelog.

no data decryption, even i cannot backup my data
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
What about you just try it?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperiaf:
i'd like to just try it if i'm convient to update to Los 16.0 first ..
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Uh then update and try it ^.^
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
The official twrp always supported data decryption(even on P), the lineage twrp doesn't but official does.

[MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION] I've wanted to make a logcat but I've just noticed that the 26th update is gone from the downloads?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
[MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION] Mine shuts down even with usb plugged in.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
...what is lineage twrp?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
I have 2 versions of twrp.

1. Official version from the twrp website

and

2. lineage twrp i believe you have on your AFH profile.

The official twrp supports data decryption but fails when you try to flash lineageos.

The lineageos twrp doesn't support decryption but allows lineageos flashing.

Then you have two outdated recovery images lol.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
Why outdated, isn't 3.2.3 the latest version? ?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Except there are three different 3.2.3 images...
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JanJabko:
Sorry if these are noob questions, but I am in fact fairly new to this device and don't want to brick or even have to reinstall it. I got March 15 installed and will update now.

What is the preferable update method, OTA or in TWRP? I am used to do it in TWRP.

My understanding is that for updating via OTA or TWRP directly I have to follow #2 before, even though the device has been updated to the latest firmware (50.1.A.13.123) on stock rom. Correct?

Do I have to re-install TWRP after updating LOS? I think I read it somewhere.

How do I select a firmware in XperFirm? Based on country? Or taking the latest revision? I can't find the first 8 digits in XperiFirm that I find on my phone with Emma (1311-2845 50.1.A.13.123).

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Malizor:
I confirm March 27th build works fine. Thanks for the quick fix!
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
>What is the preferable update method, OTA or in TWRP? I am used to do it in TWRP.

OTA.

>My understanding is that for updating via OTA or TWRP directly I have to follow #2 before, even though the device has been updated to the latest firmware (50.1.A.13.123) on stock rom. Correct?

Yes, you will probably have to flash 50.1.A.13.123 FW to both slots to be able to update without risking anything.

>Do I have to re-install TWRP after updating LOS? I think I read it somewhere.

You don't need to install TWRP.

>How do I select a firmware in XperFirm? Based on country? Or taking the latest revision?

Latest within same region.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JanJabko:
Could you guide me/us to the correct TWRP version? The one I downloaded and installed from TWRP.me rejects the correct password on decryption. Both this and the images fail at backup of data.

Sorry again if these are stupid questions and issues, I was more familiar with my Galaxy S4 which died recently.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
latest image; NOT INSTALLER.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] schmatzler:
Me and my ears just want to thank you for fixing the audio bug in WhatsApp. That was the most annoying bug and so far the only one I experienced.

Pie is fun on this device! :)
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
You're welcome, the guy who ignored me when I asked for help with testing the fix.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] schmatzler:
Well you asked me to come to the Discord in the middle of the night (I'm from Europe), so it wasn't ideal for me to do so.

Still...thanks for the fix, man. :)
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vaela:
Hey, if you don't mind me asking what gapps package did you install please? My device keeps getting stuck in bootloops with the occasional recovery error message whenever I try to install, so maybe knowing this could help both of us figure out the issues we're having. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] koenvds:
I used this one : open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20180914.zip .

The ROM is still working wonderfull. Two flaws : FM-radio doesn't work and Network traffic monitor also not .

Pitty the Selinux also is not on the rom .

But still , the ROM is stable and consuming less energy than LOS15.1 .

I'll try a new version next friday .
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vaela:
Thanks a lot, glad to hear it works! Now I've just got to try and figure out why I keep getting 'Can't load android system' errors... However, I can confirm that using that package the ROM works! Thanks loads, that was really helpful. Now I can enjoy a super fast and brand new ROM :D
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
FM should be fixed in ~ lineage-16.0-20180918_101455-UNOFFICIAL-pioneer.zip.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] koenvds:
With FM-fixed ( I know , old fashion but I like radio when riding my bike ) the rom will be top !

Real nice work .

I'll update friday to newest version , hopefully FM works also on higher versions ? Will Selinux also be included ?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
I need to invest more time to get selinux ready.

yes/no is enough.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] inestion:
I did a quick test, both sim are recognized without problem but I had signal only on one, and switching between them for data was hit or miss. On a second reboot I couldn't even enter the pin since the system kept going from sim 1 to sim 2 randomly.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Uh, is this better, worse or equal with 15.1?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] inestion:
I'll see if I can flash the rom and give it a try, I use only one sim usually
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SGS3_0:
It's like the 15.1:

*Lineage dosn't work dual sim together - only separatly: or only 1st or only 2nd, or 1st if both sim inserted

+ it's got a bug - if inserts the 2nd slot and it works, then reinsert in the 1st - cellular won't works , till factory reset.

I cant remember wh 15.1 los build they works together

need logs?

but sim-menu works wh 1+2 sims together!

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SGS3_0:
bug with the camera - saves a black photo if you use a flash.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ananjaser1211:
Some random post 123
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SGS3_0:
Just installed the lineage-16.0-20180928_222820-UNOFFICIAL pioneer.

Not much strange, but the system was installed in the active partition at the current moment, not like LOS 15.1 or build LOS 16.0 dated September 26 - inactive, as usual.

Everything works well (even the animation is smooth and fast), except of a couple of things:

* The "stock" camera also saves black photos if you use a flash.

I installed "Google Camera" and it saves photos well even if taking photos with flash

* The second sim also does not work together with the first one.

* Wi-Fi access point periodically ceases to transmit the Internet, although on the stock firmware and LOS 15.1 there is no such

Surprised that the selinux is now turned on and running.

Many thanks for the great work done.

What about OTA updates?

So you just admitted to be using oldest 3.2.3 out there...
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Could by my ignorance but I don't think there is anything called as lineage TWRP. It's just TWRP. Lineage of course recommends it as the recovery of choice but they don't have a special version.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davidhozic:
No...

I only tried installing lineage thru 3.2.3-0 and when it failed i didn't try agan, soon after i downloaded the latest twrp I assumed it'd be the same and just didn't bother trying.

Someone sent me screenshot that it supposedly works for them and I was 100% sure it was broken lol.

protip: You can check if VoLTE is registered by "calling" *#*#4636#*#* then Phone information -> ~ 3 dots ~ -> IMS Service Status; if it says that Voice over LTE is "Available" then it's working.

Hi all, quick question, I am looking for a new phone and having solid Lineage support is must have. Is this device a good choice? How is the current state of LineageOS for this device? Any substantial bugs? Never bought Sony, how is the hardware quality? thanks
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] moroi:
Hi, I use one since mid last year as the daily driver; recently updated to 16.0 from 15.1. I'm happy with it, no drawbacks with my usage pattern. Can't really talk about hardware quality (having a sample of 1), but I like it that it's not too tall/wide; it's a bit thicker compared to others on it's range (more so with a silicone/rubber protection) and therefore heavy.

It's a mid range phone, one that I didn't have to break the bank for. If I'd lose it today, I'd be looking for the same model, which I guess means I like it.

YMMV

I just installed LineageOS 16.0 (which seems to run nicely so far, including OTA updates after following post #2) and tried to sideload addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip via LineageOS recovery and got an error. I think the relevant lines from the log are:

mount: '/system_root' not in fstab
Can't create target file "/system_root/system/etc/init/superuser.rc": Permission denied

I tried it again after mounting system from the advanced tab. This time the error reads:

mount: '/system_root' not in fstab
mount: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_b: need -t
run_program: child exited with status 1
script aborted: Could not mount /system

(How can I copy that log, so that I don't have to type the error messages?)

After booting twrp-3.2.3-2-pioneer.img, sideloading the zip worked and I have root now.

What did I do wrong? I couldn't find anything about this error and hope this is the right place to post it.
