With this variation i get error 6 ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -Amity:
Hey guys, could you help me please? I've installed the newest recovery before flashing b08, and thats what I got after wipes (system and cache):

"Unable to recreate and-sec folder".

"Unable to mount storage"

"Unable to mount /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps"

How can I solve this problem without losing data?

upd. I have formatted all patritions but the problem still remains
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K9100ii:
Latest build 8 works perfectly. Seems (almost) bugless. However, the device tries to automatically turn on when it is on 0%, which ends up discharging the battery while charging and it keeps looping on this meaning the device never gets charged, and never powers on properly, with only solution being charging in recovery mode. Best solution would be to disable automatic power on. Are we going to get Android 9 Pie, or is it going to be impossible? Thanks.

Dirty flash from nAOSP-7.1 b04 to nAOSP-8.1 b08 OK

Managed to just dirty flash without wiping data partition from latest 7.1 to the latest 8.1. Before doing that I upgraded the TWRP from 3.1.1 or something to the 3.2.3 linked here by flashing the img onto the Fota partition.

Used OpenGapps nano.

After booting first time cca 5 minutes it still wrote a message about completing the upgrade. It seems it lost wifi profiles/passwords, and until the upgrade was fully completed I could not even connect to wifi as it was not capable of saving the entered password. After the upgrade was finished that was fixed as well.

First impression is it work. Excellent work to keeping such an old device with recent updates. The security level is even more recent on this 7 year old device than Xiaomi is able to deliver to my 1 year old device where it already lags 3 months behind.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PET.XHMN:
I've flash this new ROM(b08), everything looks good.

There's a small problem in bluetooth...

When I try to pairing bluetooth to other Android phone, b08 ROM cannot show the PIN confirm screen, so always time out, pairing fail.... Anybody see this problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m.morcielago:
One question

How can I install this TWRP on my Acro S

I'm on JB with stock Rom

How can I flash this ROM on my phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
1.Unlock bootloader and flash twrp via fastboot.plenty of guides available.

2.Flash Oreo ROM.

3.Install twrp to fota partition.

4.Repartition your device.see the flash procedure available on Aosp 7.0 thread's first page.

5.Flash Rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m.morcielago:
Thank you buddy

I installed twrp in boot partition and then did repartitioning and finally flashed ROM

But twrp gone

I was looking at automatic power on issue, but unsuccessfully.

My charger and battery seem to be good enough so I don't have problem when plugging the phone after battery was drained.

If someone has idea how to can I fix this it would be great.

I will not try to build android 9. I tried that before and get some issues with display drivers / it crashed on boot animation.

I don't have time / will / motivation to continue working on that. Xperia S is my second / backup phone, and I have no reasons to update it on pie.

I even don't have Pie on my main phone Xperia XZ, which is on stock sony oreo and unrooted.

I reproduced the issue. I will try to fix this in the next build. Thanks for reporting.

You can flash TWRP to boot again, boot to twrp, and than from it reflash the ROM AND flash TWRP to FOTA partition (install image option).

Hello Guys...

Yesterday I downloaded b08 version and its GAPPS and I copied into internal memory. I updated my TWRP into 3.2.1 version and unfortunately in the Wiping partitions, I Wiped SYSTEM and DATA and Cache partitions by my mistake! after that when i going to start flashing the ROM, I get the "updater process ended with error 7".

my older rom was b07 version. Now can someone help me how can i fix this error message and flash ROM ?

Thanks a million for preparing this post, :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Maverick Jester:
Use TWRP 3.2.3.0.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hamed-Infinit:
Thank you for your quick response!

I did update TWRP and then when I go for flash ROM, RED error appears... look my screen shot

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K9100ii:
I see. That's interesting. With a 1A 5V charger, I get this issue where my battery is just fine. Haven't tried more powerful chargers, but ideally I shouldn't have to use one. The fix is just simply disable automatic power on, like it was in 7.1.2, but I have no idea how you would go about it.

It's sad that you aren't able to build pie, that's understandable due to the age of the device. Patches would possibly work, but they are time consuming to make and like you said, you don't have enough time. This phone is also my backup phone but I've always thought pie would be nice on it, but yeah.

I have a Sony Xperia X (with a few defects (most notably screen burn in after a few minutes of usage (on LCD!) and some overheating)) that's also unrooted on Oreo (8.0.0, not 8.1.0!!!), which Sony discontinued, leaving no more updates and the only reason it is unrooted is because it has unfortunately got "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". Thanks for this ROM, though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Maverick Jester:
This is a problem with the updater-script in the ROM zip. I had the same issue, only way to fix it was to remove those lines completely.

[MENTION=6754437]millosr[/MENTION] would you mind looking at this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] altmash mirza:
Viper working or not ??

Any one tried it ???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] millosr:
nAOSP-8.1 b09 released

List of changes:

fixed boot to charging mode

fixed Bluetooth pairing

I have found the reason for not booting to charging mode when connecting charger while phone is off. Charger daemon was renamed in android 8 from healthd to charger.

I've found the commit in xperia sp device tree, and applied it to nozomi / hikari. I had also to bring back chargemon rules from nougat.

For the Bluetooth I found the reason for not showing pairing dialog and fixed that, but after that I found that receiving files with bluetooth also doesn't work, so I had to cherry pick another 17 commits to fix that.

In b08 I switched to nougat Bluetooth stack - because oreo bt changes caused bt / fm radio to crash and I couldn't found what was the main reason for that. That switch caused some things to fail, like bt pairing, so I fixed that now. Also, some Bluetooth options in developer settings have no effect because they are not implemented in nougat bt stack.

Btw. there is no July security patch for oreo in android source. June patch might be the last one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K9100ii:
Viper4android 2.7.1.0 works, but I had to flash a 2.5.0.5 zip, uninstall the old V4A 2.5.0.5 that came from the zip (use an app that allows uninstalling system apps), set SELinux to permissive (you can use a SELinux mode switcher app) (this ROM is set to enforcing by default, which V4A will not work with) and install the new V4A. You can find the new V4A on XDA Labs. Needs root, obviously. Hope this helps.

Great that the charging bug, along with Bluetooth issues has finally been fixed! I think this ROM is (almost?) completely stable now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
Hi Millosr, thanks for your great work! It's awesome!

I have some stupid questions which I'm sure were asked many times. Please point me to the correct link.

Is there a way to update ROM non-destructively (keep all apps, accounts, settings)? How can I update from b05 to b09?

Maybe it worth to add this info to the first post.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] A n d r 0 i d:
Simply flash the ROM, wipe the dalvik cache and reboot!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
Will it preserve all my data, settings and accounts?

Could you please share a link for step-by-step manual?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Darth Inferno:
Hi friend just flash the ROM making wipe dalvik and cache it is named dirty flash with this method you dont lose your data
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
hey, how long should take the first boot after dirty flash on xperia s?

i'm seeing jumping dots for more than 30 minutes already

i've downloaded nAOSProm-8.1.0-b09-nozomi.zip to my phone

in twrp i mounted "data" to access to download folder

then i used file manager from advanced menu to copy zip to /sdcard/twrp folder

and proceeded flashing

1 suspicious thing - my phone has rebooted to twrp immediately after flashing - i didn't see button to wipe dalvik and cache :(

so i went to wipe menu, open advanced and opt in only first checkbox "Dalvik / Art Cache"

and proceeded wiping

did i make something wrong? what can i do now?

is it possible to download files from phone in twrp mode?

my bad - i didn't make a backup because it requires 9 GB including data

i hoped for luck :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
well, i've tried to flash one more time and it now it works! i pushed the wipe button which appeared after flashing

but seems google apps doesn't work

i cannot swipe to google now, seems launcher is default

and i cannot run google play market or even calendar app

how to fix this issue? flash google apps from https://opengapps.org/?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
ok, i've flashed it again with the latest micro gapps package

looks like most everything is fixed now except bluetooth

latest pixel launcher seems not work and keeps crushing continuously

replaced it with Rootless Launcher - only 1 MB, works way better for me

Mi Fit and GadgetBridge are failing to connect to my watches but from bluetooth menu i can see it

any ideas how can i fix that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] millosr:
Bluetooth has been fixed. If something is not working for you, you must give some details.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] badcodelab:
i believe it should work after clean flash

for me amazfit bip appears in shutter bluetooth menu

but mifit app and gadgetbridge cannot get paired with them

i seen only spinning animation during connection, it won't stop and don't show any error

which details can i provide?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] millosr:
Have you paired with it in settings/bluetooth menu? You can give adb logs.

Is that working in nAOSP 7?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K9100ii:
I have figured out how to get magisk on this ROM. Only issue I see is magisk hide not working even with it enabled, maybe we need the namespaces patch for the kernel? We still have modules and a better way of getting root access with it though. If anyone wants me to write a script to install magisk on this device, I can do so. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
There's no #include <linux/proc_fs.h> in fs/namespace.c, so that means that yes we are missing that 3.8 patch.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K9100ii:
I have patched the kernel here with the 3.8 namespaces patch similar to the patching done to the LineageOS kernel in LineageOS 16 for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Magisk Hide appears to work, so yes, indeed. By the way, I am able to get this working because I was able to do something similar to the work [MENTION=2222292]rINanDO[/MENTION] has done getting magisk work on the ancient Galaxy S2, only with the original kernel format being different (elf, though I convert the ramdisk temporarily to zImage to install magisk and use a empty kernel file to act as the kernel) and without any source code and only the boot.img (unless you include patching the kernel for the namespaces and building it), so thanks to him! :D Since I seem to be getting some type of interest, I will write a script later and figure out how to use git. (Already know basic commands, now I need to figure out how to manage a remote git repository, not a local one)
[General Questions and Answers] hanablestsa:
i broke my phone last night and my friend lent me his S7 edge to use. im with freedom mobile and its a Verizon version phone. my sim card is in and it reads it no problem i have signal and everything but it wont make or receive calls. or text messages. i have read a few things that says the G935V firmware is incompatable with Candian carriers. can i flash a diff firmware like G935W8 onto this phone to make it work?? or there some other way that i can make it happen? im sry if this sounds like a stupid question to some of you but i just need a phone that works PLEASE
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First, you probably need to identify if your network is a CDMA network or a GSM network, the Verizon devices are CDMA. Try finding a S7 Edge firmware for your region/carrier, then try flashing that. Do some research and make sure that there are significant differences between the model number that you actually have and the model number of the firmware that you attempt to use, you might cause a brick if you aren't careful.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] kaleid1990:
Hey

I found a bit of a frustrating bug...

I took quite a few burst shots back in July and meanwhile had many other photos done, the problem I have is when I edit the bursts to select which frames to keep and which to ditch, after saving the selection the Gallery app freezes a bit and then it loads the most recent photo I've taken, which means that in order to move on and edit the rest of the bursts I need to rescroll back to them after each save and this makes the whole triage process exhausting to say the least.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

In other words, wouldn't a bursts classification be nice to have in the Discover section of the Gallery? ?

Cheers! ?

Got an echo show 2 today. I like it, more functionality that before, especially the 2 web browser). I think the original echo show is also getting them via update, it restores access to websites like youtube that have not worked in a long time.

Also the show 2 has a USB-B micro port on the back. Although it does not register as a connected USB device when running normally, it does in bootloader mode.

In bootloader mode, lsusb shows

Bus 001 Device 026: ID 1949:0340 Lab126, Inc.

and fastboot devices recognizes it as well.

Hopefully there will be more hacking on the show 2 than there was on the original show.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] AgustinH:
Well, I've been using third party launchers since a long time, with a few problems that I solved but is something I can't get any solution. The issue happen with most of the launchers. I like Nova, don't get me wrong, but I like to test the new one that's get out and now I'm using Belle Launcher (is in XDA), I like it a lot! The thing is that as most of the launchers I have very annoying problems with the multitask window. For example, if I open the gallery and go to the multitask window I just see one window, the gallery, but it isn't the home screen. In fact if I touch home button I go back to gallery instead of home screen, I must touch it twice to go there but even then, in multitask windows still gallery only. In that way the launcher is allowing to have the app that I opened in cache...is there any solution?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] marvelljones:
Are you using one of the Android Pie ROMs? If so, there's currently no solution. I'm a long time Nova Prime user, and if you search on the Le Max 2 Development Telegram channel you'll see the advice (from the developers) is to NOT use a third party launcher. Not that I blame them, they've got enough to work on already.

[Samsung Gear S3] mikekoz:
My S3 Frontier was a problem child when I first got it a year ago. It would never stay connected to my phone, and all I did was tinker with it and reset it over and over again for months. I was ready to Ebay it when the Tizen 3 update was pushed. Since that time, this watch has worked great, up until now. About a month ago I got new iPhone. I had a LG V10 Android phone and was a little concerned that the iPhone would mess up the watch. The Samsung app on IOS was a bit limited, but it still worked fine. About 2 days ago, the watch all of a sudden started eating up the battery. It went from 100% to 31% in about 3 hours Tuesday morn. I charged it over night, and yesterday it was fine. Today it was OK up until an hour or so ago. It went from 71% to 17% in just over an hour. I was not even using the watch. I have wifi on auto, the display always off, brightness on 6, heart rate monitor off, and no 3rd party apps installed. All I use the watch for is to keep me alerted when I get incoming texts, weather alerts, and it tells me to get up off my arse sometimes and move! I do not use it to make or answer calls, GPS and location is off. Up until now, when I would put the watch on the charger when I went to bed, the battery would be at 70-75%. I have about 20 or so watch faces all from the Samsung store and have uninstalled Facer and Watchmaker. I do not see how the watch faces could be causing this when the screen is off, but I do not know all the technical details on how this thing operates. The Samsung app on my phone does not show anything out of the ordinary running on the watch. Does anybody have any ideas before I rest this thing, or worse yet, chuck it and just go back to using my $10.00 Walmart watches!!? :laugh::confused:
[Samsung Gear S3] gpmg762:
Won't hurt to try another factory reset before you retire it.
[Samsung Gear S3] mpappas87:
Same thing for mine was great then all the sudden drains battery like crazy.
[Samsung Gear S3] mikekoz:
I just did ANOTHER reset from the watch, and also removed and reinstalled the Gear app on my phone. Afterwards, did not install anything on the watch. It is still draining way too fast. This morn at 6 it was at 100%, after not using it at all, it is at 82. It is still setup as in my original post. The only thing I can think of that may have caused this was a small update that got pushed on it a few weeks go. Either way, I am tired of fighting it! I may have to contact Samsung, but I think it is out of warranty. If this thing gets the Tizen 4 update, I will give it another shot.
[Samsung Gear S3] mikekoz:
I just thought of something. Is there a way to reinstall Tizen 3.0.0.2 again manually without hacking the watch or sending it back to Samsung? Maybe resetting it is not enough and it needs to to be wiped , then have the OS reinstalled.
[Samsung Gear S3] greatg:
I just started experiencing the rapid drain as well? Noticed it yesterday. Put the watch on at 7am and by 11am had the warning pop up that battery was at 15%
[Samsung Gear S3] mikekoz:
If you Google this, there are lot of folks having the same problem with this watch. I was just on a Samsung forum where several people were reporting this issue after the 3.0.0.2 update. The thing is, my watch ran great after the 3.0.02 update! Better than it did on version 2. My problem started after no updates. My best guess is another patch or the Tizen 4 update (assuming this watch will get it) may hopefully fix this. I am found no resolution so far.

Mine started doing this two days ago and I made no changes (I always have Wifi off, heart rate once every ten minutes, AOD off, , no GPS, non-LTE watch). I usually get up to three days and now if I fully charge it by 9pm is't dead in less than 11 hours.
