Thank you and elm_bacchus again for the help

Well well this all went well, most of my time went in to trying to flash the wrong TWRP for XZ but after that, it worked in my second attempt :good:

After flashing the SW binaries and format data I got this message again in TWRP : Failed to mount ´/oem in red letters. But I just continued flashing the ROM in TWRP and it worked like a charm.

Kind regards

It seems that this build doesn't support ExFat on External SDCards, am I right ?

And:

What TWRP-Version do you recommend ? The lastest offical 3.3.1-0 doesn't mount /data, so every time I enter TWRP I have to format data ... :(
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] juserj:
Thanks for this. I followed the instructions and it worked.

I forgot that my SDcard was encrypted and lost my photos but hey ho.

[MENTION=8321130]Sjll[/MENTION] is there a git repository for this ROM ?

XZs build (keyaki)?

By chance is there a choice for 15.1 for Keyaki? It is stated to choose Kagura, are there other choices for the XZ variants? Would like to update to 8.1, 9, or 10 binaries and read the build instructions from source for Lineage but am wondering if all I need are the kernel binaries to complie Lineage (15.1, 16, 17, 17.1) for the XZS. There is practically nothing for the XZS and it would be helpful to know how to provide other roms for it as well. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Some bugs

Hello, I've been using as my daily for a week now and I've noticed some bugs

1) the camera works but it's bad not even close to stock. The picture is dark and dim.

2) sometimes the wifi doesn't open or close no matter how much you try only restarting the phone helps.

3)sometimes the phone doesn't charge even when it's showing charging.

I hope these bugs can be solved asap because I love this rom its stable, smooth and fast with good battery life. Thanks.

Problem with installing ROM / System asks to enter password

Greetings.

Hi, after flashing OEM and TWRP I tried to install the ROM file. That worked too. But after rebooting the system I get the request to enter a password.

It says something like...

-to start Android enter your password (I enter something)

-decryption unsucessful, unfortunately data is corrupt, need factory reset

I end up back in TWRP doing the factory reset and after the reboot the same error situation is back.

What am I doing wrong?

Did I forget something?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rush:
This happens quite frequently actually.

Force-encrypt got them need on (somehow)

You have 2 options

1. Format (not wipe) data

2. Put the"disable-force-encrypt.zip from the internet, into an sd-card and flashing that.

Fixed

Profit

Holy crap, this rom is really blazing it.

Not only everything works (including the fingerprint reader for once in an aosp rom), but you also get a killer battery life.

Or at least.. I guess like 4 hours of SOT should be as good as you can get on a 3yo battery?

The only small defects are that somehow you can't manage to read battery health, android auto somehow can't manage to establish a connection, and you don't seem to get the usual "red led" while charging.

Had this N4 for years. Flashed countless times. No emmc faults. Rock-solid reliable, until now.

The past week, it started stalling badly or rebooting. Mostly stalling, 1 in 10 bringing a reboot. Just freezes randomly for a few seconds. No common denominator. Clean-flashed another ROM with the same effects. Freezing and occasionally rebooting. This means it's dying, right?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasSlert:
Hello.

I never had the "emmc_read" fault either, but I had the same problems as you.

When you clean flash, you only wipe /data /cache /system ... But some essentials partitions are untouched like /EFS.

Let suppose (as an example) that you have a corrupted block somewhere in /EFS (/dev/block/mmcblk...) Any ROM you'll use will read your IMEI, and if the corrupted block is there, any ROM you'll flash will try to read your IMEI, get stuck, and will result the same problem : reboot, hang, etc.

Now my 1 cent advice : Make a backup from your partitions using EFS Professional : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546

And also using TWRP (better be safe than sorry)

(You'll need a specific version of BusyBox for EFS Pro)

And then, try to simply flash a stock rom using Odin, but with .PIT file for your model : https://xdaforums.com/note-4/orig-development/note-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641

Flash a 1 file rom + pit and select "nand erase", and then a 4 files roms using the .pit and select "nand erase".

The whole nand is not really erased, you'll still have flashmode and your EFS safe.

It will repartition your device.

It may relocate the corrupted block somewhere else on the 32Gb internal storage.

It has fixed the issue for me... Hope it will fix yours as well.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O's:
I'll try this! Thank you! One question. What does the second half of this mean?

First half, simple enough. Flash a ROM and PIT, with Nand Erase checked. Got it. What does "then a 4 files roms using the .pit" mean?

ETA: Did not work.

Odin: "FAIL! Re-Partition operation failed."

Phone in Download mode: "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT"
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasSlert:
An official ROM can come in 2 ways :

4 files (+pit) : BL, AP, CP, CSC

1 file (+pit) : HOME

If you had a problem while flashing 1 file ROM + PIT, then try 4 files + pit.

You can find everything you need here : https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/note-4-debrick-img-t3488114

Your Odin screen should look like this while flashing the ROM : [IMG="Odin_4_files_checked"]https://www.hostpic.org/images/2003291819190365.png[/IMG]

You should be able to complete the "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT" using this method.

If not, you can still grab the PIT from your phone, but that's not the goal.

GL.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O's:
Thank you again! But I don't see a PIT file in the example image, or checks for Re-Partition and Nand Erase. What of those?

ETA: Thank you again, but I'm spending hours chasing dead links and bad leads. Do you have a working link to a 4-files ROM? That thread has only dead links for N910T files. A post says to use a program on a different thread to use phone info to find newest firmware on Samsung servers. Installed program. Won't read phone info. Thread suggests to install Qualcomm drivers. Installed. Program still won't read phone info. Inputting phone info manually requires specs I can only find with Phone INFO app from Play Store. That requires a working ROM. I somehow flashed MagMa even though TWRP said it couldn't mount anything. (Still doing stall/reboot issue.) Logged into Play Store, downloaded Phone INFO. Entered info from app. Firmware program kept saying "Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/401."

Edit 2: I found the EQI2 BL and CP. Still need the CSC. Got a stock EQI2 .tar. Got Odin 3.09 per screenshot (was on 3.13.3). Tried to flash with those 3 + PIT. Still "Re-Partition operation failed." It just immediately rejects the PIT file every time. Losing hope here. Can't even flash stock, let alone check the stall issue.

Edit 3: Progress! Tried 3 different N910T PIT files before one worked. Odin PASS! with BL/CP/AP/PIT (no CSC). Initial boot now.

Edit 5,000: Worse than before.

At first, it seemed great. Stock booted OK, randomly rebooted once, and then seemed fine. I stress-tested it with all the usual steps that froze it up before on N7 port ROMs, and stock did fine. So I thought it moved a bad sector as you said. Clean-flashed a reliable favorite N7 ROM, and it turned off during the flash. Tried again, and it flashed but didn't reach ROM boot animation; Samsung logo then black for a half-hour. Pulled the battery, tried to reboot, same thing: Samsung logo then endless black. Attempted to restore an old backup to see if still acted up in regular use. Didn't even get there: Stayed on the gears "Android is starting" screen a half-hour. Wiped cache/dalvik, same outcome. Not sure what to do with it at all now.

Thinking it's time to put this phone out to pasture, unless you have other observations or ideas. Thank you again for the help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasSlert:
Hello,

So you've flashed stock ROM.

If repartition succeded it went into bootloop on Stock ROM, if you did not went into bootloop : repartition didn't work.

(Bootloop can be 'fixed' by entering stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset.)

If flashing stock succeeded, you had to re-flash TWRP 3.3.1 using Odin : https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-0-t3933427

(1) From TWRP, you can select wipe (top right) a select every partition (make backup of your internal memory) but don't select sdcard and OTG.

Then reboot > recovery.

Then install > zip > your note 7 ROM, but check md5 value because your N910T turning off while flashing is a problem.

The 'kernel' from TWRP doesn't handle temp really well, sometimes the phone can become really hot... Or the flashing tried to use the bad sector again. And as it's randomly moved while repartitionning, there's not a lot of solution : flash stock rom 4 files with pit.

To isolate the problem, I suggest you to let your phone be cool before flashing N7 ROM. If while cold, the flash of the same N7 ROM (assuming md5 is correct) makes the phone turn off, then I'd say bad sector.

Edit : beside phone turning off while flashing, being stuck on 'android is starting' could be solved by a factory reset from TWRP (wipe > swipe to factory reset) after a flash of custom ROM. It's sometimes recommended. Mainly if you get stuck on optimising android.

Also Odin version doesn't matter, some says 3.07 is better for a specific android version, 3.09 is better for others (source https://www.**********.com/odin-version-samsung-device-compatibility-list/) ... Use at least 2 different ones, just to be sure to eliminate every possibility. Same for 4 files rom, try to find a 4.4.4. and a 5.0.1 for example. You never know.

If you have hard times finding on xda, google give a lot of 4 files rom while searching for "4 files n910t".

Edit2 : you had a hard time with Qualcomm drivers because your phone is not bricked. As long as you have a working flashmode to communicate with your phone using Odin : you don't need Qualcomm drivers. This driver is only when your download mode is not even accessible, and the APQ8084 is the only way to communicate with your device.

Edit3 : sometimes, a pit file can be inside the CSC file. You can open the CSC.tar.md5 using 7zip or WinRar. Try to "4 files + pit" method, and if doesn't work the "within the CSC.tar.md5 pit file" method, in both cases repartition should be checked in Odin tool.

Hope you'll fix it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O's:
Hello,

Wiped everything but sdcard and OTG x3. N7 ROM installed successfully this time, but the phone turned off by itself while I let it sit at the Welcome screen.

Thank you again.

ETA: I used a different battery that time just to rule that out, too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizzingbees:
I also started having this issue where phone will reboot while in use.

I did used this emmc bug app and it said I am fine

One thing i noticed when my phone would reboot is that the middle right side of screen was warm

When it does reboot like that , it goes into bootloop.... Right after Samsung logo.

The only way to get out of bootloop was to take the battery out and let the phone cool down. After that the phone boots successfully without any issue.

So I am assuming that warming up of phone somehow loosens flash chip solder point leading to reboots and bootloop. Cuz if phone can reboot fine on cooling down maybe that bad solder point would hardens just enough for good connections to be made with motherboard... Just my theory that's it's due to poor quality control or chip balling.

However the last time it happened, I couldn't boot my phone no matter what. So had to flash stock firmware ( 1 file method) but as OP mentioned the phone got into bootloop at welcome screen.. Again i noticed that phone was warm at right top/ middle point of screen.

What I did was to take back cover off and put the phone screen down on cold floor or marble counter top to let the heat dissipate. Only then the phone boots fine.

Maybe try that or get the motherboard changed ( with one with good emmc chip)
