[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] greatbeyond:
Hi all. First post here, but I have been reading a few thigs all over the place for some time and think this is a great place and resource, and every Android user should be directed this way. I'm not, however, a big fan of Google. I currently have an iPhone (don't hit me), but will be switching to an Android (as yet undecided which model, Sony XZ1C seems complicated for rooting due to DRM issues which I understand can be fixed now, OP 5T / 6) in the near future as the battery is not long for this world.

I got the above watch for Xmas, and I was wondering if there is a way of running it without the use of any Google services? A read around the wider web suggests that Asteroid OS can't be installed as it has no data out pins, but I have enabled developer options and there is an option to allow debugging over wifi. Can I therefore root the device over wifi and remove the need for the play store? There are a few standalone apps that would suffice for what I want to be able to use it for to be honest.

My biggest concern with rooting it over wifi is that it resets everything, loses the wifi connection and I then have no way to restabish the connection or send commands if it gets stuck somewhere. I think my wife might be a bit annoyed if I brick my Xmas present! I really do like this watch as well, a very nice looking watch that's a bit different to the offerings from the phone manufacturers.

Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated. Having looked around the web, I think I'll either be going for Sailfish or Lineage once I get an Android device.

Have a great day all and I'm looking forward to becoming more involved on these wider fora over the comings months.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Deleted member 9436761:
All the watch and the OS is built around Google. This is not Android, WearOS communicates to the phone, tracks fitness, weather, manages battery and everything through Google Services.

And why would you remove them?

Sorry but even if you find the way to remove Google (by voiding warranty), the watch wouldn't work anymore as it should.

P.S. with WiFi debug you can only do debug, no root.
[RAZR i General] sercari:
error when flashing motobp, Partition devtree possible solution.

Hello,

I have a motorola Razr I (XT890) with the problem that does not let flash "motobp"

Both from fastboot and rsd lite I get the same error.

"failed flashing process 7/12 flash motobp ´´ motobp´´"

I searched exhaustively on the web and did not read from anyone who has solved this problem.

In the configuration appears with unknown baseband does not have IMEI

Exploring the partitions I see a pair called devtree and devtreebackup that are 512K and are empty. It occurs to me that the problem comes for that reason. Someone could make a backup and share with me.

With this command you could get it

adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/external_sd/mmcblk0p10
adb pull /external_sd/mmcblk0p10

Or maybe if I could get a dump of the whole memory /dev/block/mmcblk0

sorry for my English

Thank you

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranforsin:
Hello,

Since a few years, I have root, TWRP recovery and XPOSED framework on my device.

I thought It's time to go further and try out new ROM, but to do it I need to unlock a bootloader.

Unfortunately, when I'm entering a fastboot mode (notification LED is blue) the adb "fastboot devices" command does not show anything.

I'm working on Windows 10.

What am I doing wrong?

Is a twrp somehow blocking the access? Or maybe I can do it directly from TWRP recovery.

PS. Drivers are OK, because I'm entering the fast boot mode by "adb reboot bootloader" command.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csoller:
Im fairly certain its driver on the pc side.

Try it on a different pc.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csoller:
Adb needs different drivers from fastboot. You havent installes fastboot drivers from the driver package.

Reporting bugs

Important: Read the bug list before posting. Anyone can add bugs to the list, just follow the rules.

DO NOT REPORT ISSUES WITH GSIs! Ask the GSI maintainer to fix them!

I will repeat the rules again here:

Rules:

New bugs must include version where error popped up and which oem version you are using

Only reproducible errors

Should include adb logcat (linked in a pastebin service like https://del.dog)

Must include clear description what is wrong

If it is a visual/SystemUI bug, only report it here

If it is an internal bug(e.g. fingerprint crashes device), report it to the Sony bugtracker as well!

Always try to fix the bug yourself first! Then submit a pull request to Sony

Must search if error has already been reported (bug tracker, this document, dev buglist)

If you've reported the issue somewhere else already and just want to track it here as well, add a link

Before reporting a bug, always make sure to isolate it. That means, wipe everything, install only the ROM without GApps and Magisk and see if the problem still exists. Only then report the bug!

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DarkPrinciple:
I want to say for the community out there curious as to what Project Treble is:

TL;DR

More ROMS for Xperia XZ ( as development just isn't what it used to be )

Long story:

PT is a new way for alternative ROM developers to make ROMS for a wider range of phones that support PT

PT acts like a middle man for the ROM and the Xperia allowing ( where developed) other phones to have the same ROM on it .

I'd seriously recommend giving this a try, instructions aren't hard if YOU READ THEM CORRECTLY

And it also gives Xperia users a bigger range of ROMS to experiment with, that's weren't specifically built for the XZ

It is to be noted, it's not perfect. And is in development and some featured aren't stable

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] StaticGTF:
Hi

As I'm about to return to AOSP/PT, it seems i've been left in the dust regarding the progress of this ROM and its derivatives.

I need to ask a few questions before I embark on this endeavor:

Is PT installed with AOSP as base (with Sony's binaries already in place) of could I start out with a Stock(ish) Oreo ROM installed (Exiztenz)?

I guess I could just as well just start from scratch and install proper AOSP first, and then go with the nightly Project Treble image available, but it'd be nice to have a bit of insight before starting out...

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DarkPrinciple:
Hey there, I can straight from Omnirom 8, so I don't think you'll need to put the Binaries on it ( I think it gets done when you need to flash using minimum adb )

So just follow the instructions and you'll be fine :)

Another Question

At first post you describe that we can just flash boot and vendor and for that need to extract boot and vendor from zip file.

For boot its no problem to extract and flash with fastboot because it is an image file, but how flash vendor. Can you tell me what to flash and what is the fastboot command?

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Innearo:
I mean whether I can use this method to flash gsi. Not how to do it.:silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] local__hero:
"fastboot flash recovery my-recovery.img" should work. Else your fastboot is broken.

It depends on the GSI you're using. If you use the AOSP build that is included in the zip, you should be able to use the dualsim patcher. In any case, if it doesn't work, please post a logcat.

The Havoc GSI is so badly out of date that you should ask the Havoc team to make a new one. You will have problems otherwise.

Same statement about Havoc applies. If you want something well-supported, random GSIs are probably not working too great.

A good recommendation would be Resurrection Remix, where the GSI seems to work well.

You can't flash GSIs via twrp for now, you need a newer build that can flash to /system(in addition to /boot). I have such a twrp build, but it is too buggy to give to people, adb is not reliable and mtp is crashing too often.

Resurrection Remix seems to work well.

In general, this treble stuff is for playing around. We are working on improving the separation between system and vendor in Sony Open devices, but it's still a challenge.

Also note that not all GSIs are created equal, they're not true generic images. Most GSIs are based on phhusson's work, which includes a lot of vendor-specific code. See https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay and https://github.com/phhusson/device_phh_treble

Thank you [MENTION=3172139]local_hero[/MENTION].

I think this was the most insightful stuff I've read about Project Treble since it first popped up... Thanks!

For now I'll stay on Existenz 8.0 as I need a working phone more or less constantly. But I'm keeping my eyes on this thread since I won't give up on running a fair version of Pie (in whatever way possible) within the foreseeable future!

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Grefon45:
I would like to ask you why you put the OEM (ODM) section in the partition /vendor?

It seems to me that this is less convenient than its separate existence, since if you want to update the OEM you will have to write a separate patch. Why don't you just create a shortcut to /odm in the /vendor section?

Or is it impossible?

I will try what you said, but tell me if there is no way for a universal modification for any GSI? I'm talking about two SIM.

And thanks for the good feedback. That's cool!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] local__hero:
The Xperia XZ does not have a /vendor partition. When it was released in 2016, no one even knew what Project Treble was, and why you should have a /vendor partition at all. It did not make sense at the time.

We do however have an "oem" partition. On stock firmware, this partition is used for /vendor(confusing, I know).

On Sony Open devices, the "Software Binaries" get flashed to the "oem" partition, so there is no more room for /vendor files there. The /vendor files get written to /system/vendor instead.

Now, if you want to be Treble-compatible, you have to have split partitions, one for /system, one for /vendor, and because we have software binaries too, we need a partition for /odm("oem"). Now if you count your partition, you will notice that we're physically one short, i.e. missing the /vendor partition.

The idea now is to either re-purpose another partition like /cache or /Qnovo for /vendor(inconvenient and incompatible with most recoveries and stock), or just fuse everything together inside the oem partition.

The route we have chosen is to pack all the files together inside the oem partition, so you have /vendor with the vendor files, and inside, a /vendor/odm folder with the software binaries.

As explained above, no phyiscal /vendor partition.

The issue is that not many of the developers have a multi-sim device to test.

You should be able to just do "setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds" as root and you should have multisim support on the next reboot. Please confirm on the next reboot that "getprop persist.radio.multisim.config" indeed does return "dsds".

That should work on any GSI. But as explained previously, in blunt terms, if a GSI is ****, nothing we can do to alleviate that.

Is there something wrong I'm doing when I try to flash the non treble builds? They dont seem to boot. The treble builds literally have no problems
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] local__hero:
First post:

Did you do that?

If you still have problems, describe them in detail. "Won't boot" can mean you're stuck at the white Sony logo, at the Android logo, in a bootloop, anything. Also try to rule out Magisk and GApps by not flashing them.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fallingandroid:
I flash the stock FTF file, install the image to vendor TWRP file through fastboot, followed by flashing the latest OEM file. Also with and without, I have tried flashing a GSI file. Boot back into recovery and flash the ROM file. Whether it be the Omni build, or a AOSP build. I am constantly getting stuck at the white Sony logo. The phone itself boots for about 5-7 seconds and reboots. The loop does not stop. I have to force the phone back in to recovery mode. This, the only builds that have been working for me are the treble builds. I follow the same process with treble and it boots no problem.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] local__hero:
There's your problem, you are not supposed to install the modded twrp if you want to go back to non-treble builds. Install the regular twrp image.

Once you flash the treble zip, it will modify your oem partition, so you have to re-flash v5 software binaries if you want to switch.

You cannot flash GSIs over non-treble builds.

So, what you want to do is: Flash stock, then flash regular twrp, then flash any non-treble AOSP build.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fallingandroid:
I ran into failed to mount /OEM when I did this. What could I ask that I'm missing local_hero?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] local__hero:
If you flash stock firmware via Emma or FlashTool, you can then go back to any custom ROM. What's so hard to understand? Read carefully next time please.

I think you are still using the modded twrp from this thread instead of the regular one from AdrianDC. Use AdrianDC's twrp and all will be fine.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fallingandroid:
No I'm not. I even redownloaded Adrians TWRP. Flash the stock firmware, install recovery ( the right one) , flash OEM binaries V5. As soon as I get to installing the zip file, I am met with failed to mount OEM.

I'm sorry if this is irritating, trust me, I get it. How do you think it feels on my side when I try flashing a ROM. I follow the steps in order, and even look back on previous posts to see what others say about their installation.
