For a number of reasons, here are some examples:

Copyright. Sony software is copyrighted and if we "ported" it, we could get sued.

Different platforms: The Xperia XZ is based on the Snapdragon 820 chipset. The XZ3 is based on the SDM845 chipset. They have different CPU architectures and capabilities.

It's hard when you don't have the source. We compile everything from open-source projects here. If you try to port stuff from the XZ3, you have to decompile the binaries to make them work with the Xperia XZ.

Hello there, i have a problem here about installing aosp rom on my XZ F8831 phone, can i ask it here? So i followed everything on your page including latest tft, flashing oem, flashing dsp, but my phone stuck on white sony logo without installing magisk/gapps. When i try to reinstall it but with gapps, i got this message when i try to flash the gapps, "this gapps is for device that have 9.0 android, your device is 8.0" something like that, so i assume anything i do before is useless, because my phone still on 8.0. Please can someone help me? Im sorry for the bad english

Hey guys!

I have problem with Treble on XZ (Single SIM)

I want to try some interesting GSIs but I never able to make any of them work. I tried like 10 different GSIs already.

So if someone can help me telling what I do wrong and someone can help me to make even one GSI work I would be super happy.

So I started everything from the beggining so reflashing the stock rom with flashtool, then flash the modded TWRP oem-vendor and then flash AOSP treble.

Then wipe everything (I tried without wipe and wipe system too not just caches and data. Every combination)

Then "fastboot flash system gsi.img"

When done I turn on phone SONY logo then restart and loop

So I read need to fix dsp (I not really understand this part) but I don't know how to use the codes or if I use them I got errors (I will write down errors if need)

So I used this;

https://sx.ix5.org/files/builds/kagura/misc/dsp-label-fixer.zip

After I installed gsi I turn on phone in recovery mode then flash dsp-label-fixer.zip. Is this ok? Need to do after every single flash or not even need?

Or if I need to use the codes where to write to make it work?;

[COLOR="DimGray"]su
# It might be either /system/vendor/dsp or /vendor/dsp depending on your device
# Just try both until one succeeds
mount -o remount,rw /system/vendor/dsp
chcon -R u:object_r:adsprpcd_file:s0 /dsp[/COLOR]

When I ask help last time you I get an answer about selinux. I don't really know if it's help or not, but I downloaded permissiver and flashed it. Same question than with dsp. Need to flash every time or after every rom install and before boot it?

What can be wrong? Why I never make trough the SONY logo with GSIs?

I already isntalled OmniROM and Pie 9.0 rom without problem. Even Treble is boot but without GSI, after installing a GSI image bootloop.

I read a lot and watched videos but still the same problem.

I hope someone will help me, I want to learn but I don't know what I do wrong and what to learn exactly. ?

Sorry for a lot long questions and bad English and being dumb.

Thank you for the answer!

Have you tried resizing in TWRP?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] KikiGames:
No.

Can you tell me how to do that?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] SoulJahN2:
Can you try this? Guide in HavocOS

. Download the GSI from the links above, and uncompress it.

2. Wipe Data, Dalvik, and Cache.

3. Remove Magisk if it was previously installed, by using its uninstaller script. Magisk files are stored in the kernel image, and in the /data/adb folder, which are left untouched when wiping data and flashing the GSI. Another option is to flash your stock rom and manually delete the content of the /data/adb folder.

4. Flash the GSI to system partition (AB devices : flashing a vbmeta.img file for your device may also be required).

5. Boot and perform a factory reset.

6. (Optional) Reboot and flash GApps, Magisk, and maybe additional files (see below, GSI Specific Information). If you don't flash GApps with the MagicGapps Magisk module, you may have to resize your system partition in TWRP.

7. Reboot and Enjoy.

For resizing system partition in TWRP check wipe menu.

Help me install AOSP Pie!!

I'm jumping into AOSP on my f8331, but I have an installation problem; it doesn't proceed beyond "android" logo. After turning on, the phone began to show "android" logo for several minutes, but reboots automatically to twrp recovery. So I advanced-wipe cache, dalvik, and internal storage (I flashed userdata partition with userdata.img provided by https://sx.ix5.org/files/builds/kagura/misc/userdata.img. So I don't touch it.

My procedure is as follows (I am following https://sx.ix5.org/info/flashing-aosp-on-xperia-xz/:

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

4. flash latest stock firmware (F8331_41.3.A.2.192_1304-9026_R2E.ftf)

5. flash twrp recovery

use twrp-3.2.1-0-kagura-ab-x.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-kagura-ab-x.img

6. flash OEM binaries and format userdata

fastboot flash oem SW_......img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

7. twrp recovery operation

7.1 wipe data

maybe wipe cache, dalvik cache but not data

7.2 flash AOSP rom

flash aosp_f8331_2019-.....zip

7.3 fix /dsp file labels

flash dsp-label-fixer.zip

7.4 none (dualsim)

7.5 flash opengapps.

flash open_gapps-arm64-9.0-.....zip

7.6 flash magisk

in addition, flash DRM-Fix_System_Mode.zip and SafetyNet_Cleaning_Tools.zip

8. reboot

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

Is there anything wrong?

EDIT: as a matter of course, I back upped TA partition before unlocking bootloader.

EDIT2: After too many reboot, I began to advance-wipe data partition also. So I advance-wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and internal storage.

EDIT3: BTW is this the right forum to post this one? I'm wondering why nobody mentions this.

EDIT4: Now I cut the twrp procedure down to just wiping cache/dalvik and flashing aosp. Now I can see the initial screen, but it shutdowns soon.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] maverick6664:
I finally made it! My problem was..very trivial. I was using SD card formatted in exfat instead of vfat (aka fat32). It looks like AOSP doesn't like it. I reformatted it to vfat and it went smoothly.

Sorry for noise and thank you all!!

[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] succe:
i have noticed that software problems is a common problem with the owner of OPPO phone and that there is none that are really willing to help, OPPO support a pain the neck.

2 months i own a 1000 €uro phone which has some good points on the hardware believe not even the best (camera get lots of dirt, back side lots of scratch 90% used if the cover) 8 Gig RAM and 256 on memory can be found on others as well.

With lots of digging i managed to have some notifications and ringtones personalize, some apps show the number of the message unread (SMS, Whatsapp) the other just a so called badge, still could not give my most important gmail account a personalized ringtone.

If anyone came across to some solutions and could share i would really appreaciated i want to get all fixed and sell it, done with this BS, One+, HTC (still) Huawei just to name a few can do a much better job!

SInce the install I have been in a LTE, 3g, roaming, no service random loop. Wifi works fine thankfully.

I have checked for further updates, toggled airplane more back and forth multiple times.

Also checked for PRL and Profile updates with no luck.

Carrier is Sprint. Any other suggestions from the community?

Get back to oreo, wait for the official Pie release
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KMoore7580:
working on that. Odin flashes are failing though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
This might mean you're on the Pie bootloader. If that is true, then there's unfortunately nothing you can do, except just wait for the official release and then flash that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
At what point is it failing? Does it show your phone "added" when you plug it in?

Are you by chance using Windows 10 and/or a USB3 port?

There is no "Pie bootloader." Samsung has not yet updated the bootloader version. The leaked Pie builds and the official Pie beta is still on bootloader v5, so you can easily downgrade back to Oreo. Now. Once Pie is officially released, they will likely upgrade the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

The N950U1 is 100% compatible with Sprint. It supports all the Sprint bands. Sounds like maybe an APN issue. You should check those settings to make sure they are correct. A factory reset may also fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KMoore7580:
Windows 10 is a yes...unsure if its a USB3 port. I have tried every port on the PC and 2 different USB cables. It does show added. It allows me to add the 4 files. Once I click start, it usually errors out within seconds with an error such as SW REV Fail then has I believe device # and a binary # on the error code. I can get this tonight if needed.

I did a factory reset last night, was a no go.

Can you recommend a legit location for accurate APN info?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
As far as a source for the APN. I would just google Sprint APN settings. It may even be on Sprint's website, or you can call Sprint CS.

For your ODIN failure. That's an easy fix for that error code. You are trying to downgrade to an Oreo build that is TOO old. It has to be a newer Oreo build with bootloader v5. Just download the SamFirm tool (Google is your friend) and use it to download the most recent Sprint firmware. For model use SM-N950U and for Region I believe it's either XAS or SPR. I can't remember. Then flash it with ODIN.

But the Pie beta SHOULD work with Sprint. There's something else going on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KMoore7580:
Love the condensing tone, really helps make your point. Ive had little problem in the past flashing. This one had me stumped. As to the usb port, it's my wife's laptop, so I wasn't paying attention. Seeing as the guide that is posted here made no mention of usb type or windows version, I assumed there was no issue as long as Odin saw and added the phone. I am using official Odin, thanks. I pulled the sim already, no change.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KMoore7580:
This was the problem, thanks!! The thread I was using listed a build as recent, but i guess it wasn't recent enough. I am now flashed and back to Oreo. Although I am not speaking with Sprint in regards to the network situation as flashing back did not resolve the problem. Thanks for all the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Shadow Assassin:
As far as your network issue. Try typing or copy and paste this *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer/ tap device info/ network type. I try using "TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS" if it is already set to that, use one of the ones with LTE.

The color is a bit yellowish on the NitrogenOS rom. I've tested other roms. They works fine. I've seen a feature maybe on RR Pie where you can change the color profile between Standard and sRGB. The standard color is fine for me but the sRGB seems a bit yellowish to me. Is there any option or way to fix this in NitrogenOS?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Fraot:
Hey there! Me again. I have a chinese Mi 8 with unlocked bootloader since day 1, it was sold to me like that.

I am facing an irritating situation. I was dumb enough to flash EU ROM just to get Google certified and use GPay and/or Netflix (I think I just needed to root and use Magisk hide...). I can now use those services, apparently, but now I have this notch issue in my phone. It looks so ugly.

On my MIUI 10.2.2.0 Global stable ROM it looked like this, a normal notch.

[IMG="Mi 8 notch"]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAPYbs3Puscj9b8wiVQSdaMf26hhHYHzBKf7Pux1mrPYE4ZQWlZg[/IMG]

And now the clock on the left and the icons on the right are too close to the edge of the display, which means, the clock is too far to the left and the other part is to far to the right; it's like editing some values, the EU devs spaced out the status bar elements from each other.

Also, the clock that shows when you swipe down to see the quick toggles and notifications is to close to the notch.

All these issues could be solved in the global stable 10.2.2.0 ROM by changing the DPI, but not anymore, not here. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm picky and I am thinking about going back to Global just to not see that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
No, it is not solved.

There are reports it is solved in the latest beta, but we shall see...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Fraot:
Sad. Really sad to read that.

Then I think I'm goning back to Global. This EU ROM was supposed to be amazing and I've encountered some other situations that irritate me a lot, quite more than Global.

One other issue is that no matter if I choose Classic, Default or Rhodium themes, the icons have a weird and ugly icon theme I can't get rid of (see screen1.jpg). I have only 3 themes (see screen2.jpg) and the icons look even worse if I choose default.

At least I can disable the swipe up gesture in the system launcher...
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 15Jacob:
Hi! I'm having serious issues trying to revive an XT1527 which apparently "Failes to validate boot image". I am stuck in the Fastboot screen. Trying to do Factory or Recovery modes seems to just pop up the Motorola logo for a few seconds and then throws me back to the Fastboot, sometimes with the message "Failed to pass validation". I was not doing anything for it to go to this state, and It seems a little bit late for being an update error considering this phone came 4 years ago and It's last update I could recall was in the second half of 2017.

Searching on Google (And XDA) I found that the only solution seems to be flashing the Stock ROM with fastboot (Or mfastboot). Now here's the thing, there is not such thing for this specific version apparently! I searched all over the internet, the version seems to be "MPI24.65.39-4/3_CID12", and the most similar I could find out there was the MPI24.65.39-4 (And even then it was for the XT1514 or so); none of the "Rom archives" I find has the Rom I need, there is people having this same problem with the same model since at least first half of 2018 so Motorola is just not doing anything about it? this seems really unfair coming from one of the most respected phone manufacturers of today.

I'll give you some additional info which helps to make even harder the current situation, Bootloader is LOCKED, and USB debugging is not enabled (This is strange, since I would swear I had enabled it some years ago). Please, there must be this Rom somewhere! I refuse to run out of solutions for such a ridiculous excuse, considering I've been playing the role of the "nice customer" that will not void the warranty and trust official updates

Again, that's the MPI24.65-39, and I need the MPI24.65-39-4/3, I tried the one you linked me to, but it will fail uppon trying it with the mfastboot commands
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyan65:
Use fastboot only not mfastboot.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 15Jacob:
Tried it, won't work either :(

Besides, I read somewhere that you can't "downgrade" the ROM, just boot the same or a newer version, that's why I stopped insisting with the MPI24.65-39 and started looking for the MPI24.65-39-4/3, which is my phone's current version apparently
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyan65:
You can flash that rom, but you need to remove the bootloader and gpt codes so your device won't get brick.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 15Jacob:
And how do I do that? Recovery nor Factory are working, and bootloader is locked. With the MPI24.65-39 I get usually the error "preflash validation failed"
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 15Jacob:
For anyone reading, after almost two months of searching for solutions and un-flashable stock roms I came to the conclusion that it is the internal storage which is screwed. Nothing I can do besides taking it to service
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyan65:
Are you able to boot in bootloader then the device internal storage should be right.

I was looking at refurbished Galaxy Note 8's on eBay and all the sellers list this problem. They have multiple quantities available though so I'm wondering if they just list this to cover themselves in case it has it or do literally all of them have this issue?

Are you trying to take a screenshot of your burn in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
I was wondering the same thing.

Anyway, on topic: I've had mine since about April 2018, which isn't as long as some others, but I also have no discernible burn-in. An issue I do have, however, is that my screen scratches incredibly easily. I have a couple of really bad scratches and some deep ones and I don't do anything funny with my device. It's either laying face-up on the desk or it's in my pocket. Some of the scratches has weird shapes to them that I can't figure out where they even came from or how. Other than that, no other issues or problems. Screen is still clear and very pretty and no strange artefacts.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikeyk101:
As far as the peeling, when I first got my Note 8, I could feel an unevenness on the sides. Turns out that there was a thin plastic film just like there was on the top and bottom when it came out of the box. I just peeled it off. Is that what you were talking about? I just assumed it was put on at the factory before it was boxed up as like the protective plastic on the screen and back. Was I wrong to peel it off? It didnt seem to affect the finish at all and shortly after that, I put the phone in a case anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
