[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] leandrox:
SOLVED - See second post

-----------------------------------------

Hi there, I'm big trouble.

I have a F8131 with unlocked bootloader. The system was on the latest Oreo.

I tried to flash the latest TWRP using flashtool. After it finished, I get a bootloop, which goes through the unlocked warning to the Sony screen again and again.

What should I do now? Thanks to you all for helping in any way possible!

EDIT: I reflashed TWRP from command line using flashboot and now I can get to TWRP, but now it tells me there is no OS installed (WTF?), so if reboot I go back to the bootloop. Should I try to flash a rom from TWRP, is there something I am missing?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] leandrox:
Luckily I was able to solve the issue. I will leave this here in case someone is stuck in the same situation.

1) Use Flashtool in flashmode to flash the FTF firmware you get from XperiFirm into the phone. If you get an error related to drivers, use the Flashtool drivers tool (located in a subfolder in the Flashtool installation folder) to install a set of working drivers (also applies to flashboot drivers).

2) After flashing, disconnect the phone and reconnect it in flashboot mode. Flash TWRP through fastboot commands in a cmd terminal. Flash a boot.img if you have one.

3) This should work, and you should be able to continue to boot your phone or get into TWRP to flash custom packages (Safety, DRM fixes, Magisk, etc) or ROMs.

um, i need assistance with this

can you help me with it?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] leandrox:
Sure. Where are you at right now?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] hasbyduryea:
About drm fix, is it the same file all phone could use? Or is it special, like TA images? I walk around xda, and somehow i am still not understand.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] leandrox:
I used the one available at posts with tutorials for installing Kernel + TWRP + Roms for my device. I am not sure whether the drmfix is the same for all Sony Xperia devices.

Nevertheless, I don't think it worked for me, as my keys don't look like they have been recovered when I check them. I haven't noticed any problems so far, though, so maybe it's not a big deal.

i know it's a little weird question but, hot can i disable both cameras of the 5x deleting some libraries or some file so the camera won't work on any app
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kagurazakahikaru:
Remove libraries could make some trouble. However, there is an easier way to do that, you may consider that use device policy to disable camera (just go play store and search nocam )
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi_guel:
thanks but that won't do the trick, i can't have a background service running saying that it is disabling the camera
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kagurazakahikaru:
Actually this app is doing something on system level via device manager api and cant be simply override (without system permission or above),you may also consider using xposed.

Any bugs you found on havoc? Is it Android 9.0? What about security patch levels?

Ohhh and is the notch correctly identified by Havoc?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00177:
No notch support but it isn't even too noticable. Yes it's pie, a new release should be out any day now, but 10/27 build is Oct patch. No bugs.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Personally, i like Pixel Experience and HAVOC

I put together a How-To for those who are interested :

Flashing ProjectTreble GSIs on the Essential using TWRP

​

1) either boot or fastboot into TWRP

2) Wipe Cache, System, and Data (1 GSI required internal to be wiped, i forget which)

3) From Main Menu, select Install and Flash UN-ZIPPED A/B system.img

4) Reboot Recovery (It's going to say there's no OS, act like you didnt see it.)

5) Reboot System and Enjoy!

6) Most of the later GSIs from October to Present I have flashed and am happy to say

they all contain pre-installed Magisk and ALL but 1 contains Gapps.

Many thanks! I have one more question. Some users are reporting on this forum that Havoc P does not work for for them, this was posted in September 2018. When did you successfully install Havoc P on our phone?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00177:
I ran it from late August to current. Builds before 10/27 required a selinx permissive changer magisk mod to be flashed preboot from recovery to enable the kernel to be permissive instead of enforcing.. starting with the 10/27 build this isn't required, just flash as normal gsi installation. And the other havoc thread had builds that never worked for a lot of phones, prob was that thread..this is different. U should be fine

Pretty sure pixel dust and havoc are almost twins. Just havoc was the primary twin and absorbed most of the nutrients and pixel dust is cool don't get me wrong, I just had a couple force closes vs havoc, none.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xistanz83:
Installed system.img from latest Taimen (Nov) firmware. Runs great. Few hiccups getting through setup. But some features are missing. Tap to wake. Fingerprint swipe. Adaptive brightness.

Hoping I'm just doing something wrong. Flashing system_other.img to other side didn't help either.

Old device was A only . Quite the learning curve!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MoistPicklez:
If anyone figures out how to properly fix touch responsiveness in Treble GSI's (or ROMs), I'd appreciate it to the max and would even donate for that. No joke.

Sadly though most Custom ROMs and GSI's my touchscreen responsiveness is literally abysmal, keyboard is noticeably slower, and some games don't function properly at all. (MCOC)

The only ROM that had this fixed up properly to my knowledge was AICP O. Every other ROM or GSI has had this bug or perhaps I just have the lemon of all lemons.

In any case, does anyone else notice this touchscreen jankiness??
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] :
Dissect my modded havoc gsi build prop. Has everything u need to make it smooth as butter. Android file host=fullofhell
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MoistPicklez:
I actually took a look at that with notepad++ and compared it to stock, but I can't for the life of me figure out which line is responsible for the touch screen responsiveness. I'll try and take a look again but I went over that build.prop several times to try and fix these down touch screen issues. Thanks again though will dig through a little later and see if I can find anything I might have missed before.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
I have heard others with the same problem, it worked fine for me...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] AutinDroid:
So I created a notch overlay for our phones and took a pie preview overlay in order to enable adaptive brightness, lift to wake, and probably some other stuff I'm not aware of.

Here ya go: Mata overlays

Copy the "DisplayCutoutMata" folder to /system/app, or /vendor/overlay

Copy the "framerwork-res__out_generated_rro.apk" to /vendor/overlay

Give the phone a reboot, go to settings -> developer options -> display cutout and select PH-1 display cutout

have tested this on Pixel Experience Pie, but it should work on other Pie GSIs
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] swiftbones74:
Would it be possible to make this into a Magisk mod? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but using a root file manager/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx / I can't write to /vendor/ overlys / ?

I am really excited to try this because the way GSI's deal with our notch is ulgy af to me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mruno:
ignore
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
You can't deal with it that way with magisk...

Make a mod that writes to /system/vendor/overlay/
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] AutinDroid:
Maybe your root explorer doesn't mount /vendor? I use MiXplorer, so I'm able to copy and paste to /vendor/overlay easily without issue. If that doesn't work, you can move it to /system/app

Also, I have a newer compiled overlay that actually gets GCAM and Youtube to recognize there's a notch there (by adding a SVG path, but its very crude). Here it is: overlay V2
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] AutinDroid:
I'll make this a magisk mod when I have the time

Also, on Pixel Experience P, I can't record videos. Anyone having this issue?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dazeone:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] AutinDroid:

Hey everyone - after a bricked device from failing a LineageOS 16 build upgrade (something with A/B TWRP boot settings) - I now have a new essential phone.

What are the key differences between Treble roms and LineageOS? Thus far, I really like that they (appear) to have everything included in one flashable image, and run on A/B slotable phones as with our PH-1.

TL: DR - am I a glutton for punishment in attempting to leave stock again for a custom rom? Or is using something like treble actually "safer" to flash vs. something like LineageOS 16.

Thanks in advance!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] agmyers76259:
Thanks! Any way I can telegram your buddy? I want to ensure it works before spending an hour going back to the last 8.1 Stock oreo, wiping system, then flashing pixel dusk or other GSI, doing the same for the other slot, then going through the whole process again - just to see if a dial code works :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dazeone:
You don't need to do anything to see if dialer code works. It can be used on any ROM using it's stock dialer
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] agmyers76259:
Thanks - I ask because previously, trying what Sprint told me to use, something like *#*#72786#*#* didn't have any effect - however this code goes directly to a sprint provisioning screen - which may not exist in a GSI rom by default (it does in essentials stock rom) - I tried the code you provided, and it looks like I might have better luck - I might give it a shot later

I couldn't record video either but I updated to the December firmware and video recording now works. Make sure you are also using the December boot image with the firmware or the camera won't work at all!

I've completely converted to December (firmware, boot, vendor), and now phh's ROMs don't work. Are you having this problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JohnnyDepth:
When I converted from one treble ROM to another I had to use the flash back to full stock because nothing was working, it wouldn't even boot until I went back to the stock ROM. You could try that, they even provided a no wipe install so I didn't lose data.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dazeone:
Running phhs ROM now. What's not working? December firmware

My phone at that time wasn't booting for whatever reason, but now it works. I'm still having the video issue, where the video will save, but it's much longer than it should be and 90% of it is just one frame.

Honestly when I read the reviews saying the camera is not good I was anxious but after having this phone for a few days now I'm ok. I can live with this.
