You can flash directly the userdata.img :)

But if you want to backup, of course, you should install the stock again :)

I will report if I find anything, I'm also following you on AndroidFileHost, it's so much easier to use, glad you got developer status, I'll try a restore from the cloud... nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

ima gonna go for it...fresh install of .126 then AOSP, take it I need TWRP?...which Gapps do you recommend I think I saw it before but cant find it now.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
No. A already installed twrp will be deleted.

[MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION] correct me when i'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Yes, every flash of a kernel.sin/boot.sin/boot.img kills the twrp. :)

Aaaand

The TAMA devices need a special TWRP for every different kernel, because of the removed Recovery Partition (now in boot partition) and the splitting of the kernel in the boot partition and the dtbo partition. :(

So I need to create an STOCK kernel TWRP (which I did) and an AOSP kernel TWRP (which should work with lineageos and omnirom, too, since they should use the twrp kernel) :)

Did the hint I wrote under the instructions to install gapps without TWRP work?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I will work on TWRP later

(Because of the coming exams and the lost time with the 2 aosp bugs I had in the past -> exFAT crashes + not creating symlinks on rebuild)

fastboot flash oem oem_*.img (Tama (latest) -> https://developer.sony.com/develop/o...tware-binaries)

Ok slowly i'm out of ideas. Since days i try to install

this aosp but i always stuck at the sony Logo. I tried the installation from the aosp rom from stock firmware .84 (CE1; from the androidfilehost of MartinX3) and .126 (DE; from Xperiafirm).

Steps which i done:

1. Flash the vb meta in the aosp from ninth january 2019. I use the aosp with this name for my xz2 dual: 9.0_2018-01-08_21-12_aosp

Command: fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I tried that with disable verity disable verification stuff too but then i'm stuck at the sony Logo and my led is red.

2.Flash the boot.img.

->Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

3.Flash the dtbo.img

->Command: fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

4.Flash the system.img

->Command: fastboot flash system system.img

5.Flash the vendor.img

->Command: fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

6.Flash the software binaries (i download the "SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v4_Tama", renamed it to "oem_.img" because i wanted to as near as possible to the posted instructions).

->Command: fastboot flash oem oem_.img

7.Flash the userdata.img

->Command: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Then i set the current slot to b because the system.img and boot.img were installed on slot b.

Result: Stuck on sony logo. It's so frustating.

Thats the situation. I described it with so much detail as possible.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Did you installed every IMG file of this ROM in the same slut?

I found this in the Sony bug tracker

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues/246
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
I don't know. Fastboot shows me only for boot and system where it installs the imgs (slot b). For the rest not.

I can only assume that the other files are installed on slot b.

I can test whether it works on slot a. So i set the active slot to a and repeat all the steps.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Ok i tried it with slot a and now your aosp rom boots.

But i needed to add the '--disable-verity --disable-verification' part by the vb meta command (you should add it in your instructions). I didn't done that and got a bootloop.

And i think you should mention in the instructions that the flashing of the aosp rom on slot b doesn't work atm.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
It's already in the bug tracker and I did mention that you need to read it for bugs on Tama :)

Weird, I do not need the vbmeta parameters :confused:

Means use magisk to install TWRP ?

Or I made a mistake
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
You can patch the Bootimage to add magisk.

And this should make you able to patch it to add twrp. :)

Like we do on stockrom with the twrp installer zip file.

Of course you need a twrp patcher compiled for our devices, but that's kernel independent and will work on the entire TAMA line. :)

XZ2/P/C/3

I hope that won't not only work with devices with a working "fastboot boot" and we can choose a boot.img file. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Does this magisk module help to install gapps without TWRP?

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/google-framework

It's a solution I think. But I prefer stock version opengapps
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Raphos:
Hi,

Very nice rom. Just the essential apps pre installed for me (No Xperia or Google apps), so I can choose witch ones I want to install (it's a good compromise until Lineage is out for the XZ2C, one day...).

Magisk installation easy without TWRP.

Unfortunately the camera is very bad, pictures are black with less light. Not good enough for a daily use.

Thanks !
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Good to hear :)

The camera is still under construction :)

TWRP will come after my exams in February :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Hi,

has somebody the same Problem that some root apps (by me Titanium Backup and AdAway) doesn't recognize Magisk v18?

I installed Magisk via the Magisk Manager (because of the missing twrp at the Moment)

I have the problem only this rom. On my old phone where i installed Magisk via twrp my root apps find the su without problems.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Raphos:
Hi,

I have the same problem with Adaway.

It's the first time that I install Magisk without TWRP and I think it comes from here.

Adaway v3.3 tells me that I have no root access. v4.4 tells me "Applying the hosts file to your system failed!...".

Both versions don't prompt for root access.

So, for me it's a Magisk problem and not AOSP rom.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
I guess that, too.

But at least i'm not the only one with that problem:)

Has someone the problem that the newest aosp build doesn't boot?

I just flash it and it stucks at the sony logo. I used the same commands as by the old build and install it on slot a.

The aosp build with december 2018 patch boots.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Does the build sizes differ from the old files?

Can you provide me a logcat?

At the sony logo an 'adb logcat' should be possible.

Maybe an 'adb shell dmesg' helps, too.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Unfortanetly not. Both commands don't show any informationen on my powershell window.

By one command i get the error "no device" and by the other one the message "waiting for device:(

PS: The files from both builds have the same sizes.

Edit: I tried the build for XZ2 Dual Sim.

Sry when my first version of this comment came a little rude. That wasn't my intention. Hopefully i didn't annoyed you.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
No Problem, everything is okay :)

Can you boot into the AOSP recovery?

Did you wipe userdata and flashed the OEM binaries from the Sony website?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
I wiped with the userdata.img file. And i took the same oem binaries from sony as with the last build.

How do i come into the AOSP recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Like you would start TWRP. :)

Maybe you need OEM v5 instead of v4.

But v5 is not released yet.

But that would be a bit weird.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Ok i will check in the evening. Mayby the commands work then.

If i get some output i will post it here.

If not i will wait until the oem files v5 are out and try it again. Wish me luck:)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:

And don't forget to report bugs on github, if they arn't already reported. :)

Please install the latest stock firmware monthly update on your device.

The stock firmware updates doesn't not update your "android", they are updating the bootloader, the baseband and the partition layout, too!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

You can downgrade to Oreo and unlock the bootloader.

But you will need a SimCard to do it.

WiFi may not work.

I saved the Central European Oreo September Firmware and can upload it if you need it.

But the app XperiFirm may download it for you, too.

51.x.x.x version.

Not 52.x.x.x.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Status Update:

I will compile AOSP 9.0 after the next stock security update.

(November update)

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues/217
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] laoli0913:
I build AOSP Pie successfully, but I can't get the sim card work... Maybe the problem when I building it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Yes, the build problems got solved.

But I would wait before the open devices program announced the xz2 as official device, before I use it as productive system. :)

I will release the next build after the next firmware update came.

I recommend installing a stock firmware update every month, because it updates the bootloader and partition layout. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Hopefully they anounce it in the near future. I would gladly buy the xz2 to replace my z3.

But a system with Google Apps and Play Service isn't a option for me; so i must wait?.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mirhl:
Friendly n-th reminder you can disable play services even on stock rom without root...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Yes i know. But then many apps that need this crap doesn't work anymore (and i don't mean Google Apps. Unfortunately many apps on the play store rely in this part of Google)

For such apps i use MicroG but it only works when there isn't the play services installed and when the rom supports Signature Spoofing which as far as i know stock roms don't support normally.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] niaboc79:
MicroG support and signature spoofing can be added to stock rom with some coding work. I've spotted involved code.

The only thing needed to make it work is the disabling of signature verification which is actually impossible on Pie.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:

So i will wait:)

But that Signature Spoofing is impossible at Pie due of signature verification at the moment...dammed.

Hopefully some guys will find a way.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Is there any custom rom with out of the box support, aside from the microG custom ROM builds?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dhacke:
Carbon Rom, OmniRom, CRdroid for example.

Damn XZ2 sucks, AOSP is working perfectly on so many device... And they say that Sony is developer friendly, ahahah

Envoyé de mon H8266 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
They pay developers to maintain the AOSP for the open source community and everyone can help them.

Not many companies are doing this.

They answer bugs and fixing them.

They offer a good documentation to build and contribute the code.

They develop the low level device drivers or optimized them for their own hardware.

They switched everything to a brand new kernel version. (kernel from kernel 4.4 to kernel 4.9).

Of course they need to test everything again, something won't work flawlessly without fixing and of course the hardware drivers need to be adapt.

Please don't blame someone if you don't really work in the same industry or didn't ask them, why it doesn't work. :)

And I am glad, that they have a very transparent bug management and don't hide them.

Enough companies hide the bugs, so they don't need to fix them.

Thanks MartinX3 for the update.

The pictures are more bright than before with low light and the integrated camera application (acceptable).

The quality is not so good as stock for the moment... I will take picture outside tomorrow and see if it's good enough for my daily use.

Edit : with OpenCamera the pictures are still black with low light.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Thank you for testing. :)

Yes, due a missing feature 3rd party apps have still less support than the main app. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Sony starts porting Sony Open Devices Project from Kernel 4.9 to kernel 5.0.

Of course they don't stop working on the regular updates and camera.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] laoli0913:
That means Q can be supported, right?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
It will be supported anyway.

The Sony AOSP ported the 7.x devices with kernel 3.x to 9.0 with kernel 4.9.

I wouldn't wonder if they port the entire X devices to Q, too.

I think Android Q will use kernel 4.9 and maybe they try to add 5.0 then for public testing.

Our TAMA board doesn't really need to be ported.

The SMD is already mainlined into the Linux Kernel via Qualcomm and Google. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Raphos:

One bug -> the ****ing TWRP screen color calibration is BLUE, but the TWRP developers are working on it.

Please note, since https://github.com/opengapps/all/pull/44 was needed to make the GAPPS work with AOSP 9.0 we need to wait for the next GAPPS build.

Maybe the one tomorrow will work.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FcukBloat:
sure, and I can just thank them for their efforts, but nevertheless the sad truth is that with sony phones it always take ages to get good custom roms, probably because all devs here in xda are using other brands...

will see what new phones will be announced at MWC end of this month, and if nothing interesting comes out I will settle with xz2c or maybe get myself a pixel 3 that already has mostly working DU and other roms... :angel:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Only the TAMA line took long to get implemented, because of the new kernel (all the migration stuff) and now we get custom roms :P

Especially since the sony devs does most of the work for us. :P
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FcukBloat:
that's the point :( and btw when I speak of long time I mean to get usable roms, with no critical bugs, and for me camera not working is very critical bug so still not usable roms atm ;(
