Features

TO USE THIS RECOVERY BOOT THIS RECOVERY LIKE PBRP

There is a workaround for booting PBRP and Images:

Boot PBRP and images is possible also on Android 10, but it needs some workaround...

1) Turn phone into Download Mode

2) Use command

fastboot flash recovery PitchBlack-PL2_sprout-2.9.1-20200613-0901-UNOFFICIAL.img.img

(PitchBlack-PL2_sprout-2.9.1-20200613-0901-UNOFFICIAL.img short forum PBRP)

where PBRP.img is your PBRP image you want to boot up

It will show this error:

No such partition

This is because an A/B Device does not have a recovery partition. It's located in the boot partition itself.

3) Now you are able to boot your PBRP image again:

fastboot boot PitchBlack-PL2_sprout-2.9.1-20200613-0901-UNOFFICIAL.img

Changelog

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] RootedLee:
allright, @keneankit01 , thanks for letting me/ us know. I guess updating a fork with the latest master from PBRP is not just copy/ paste but a lot of custom tweaking. Just out of interest: how many hours dev work do you think would it roughly take, or minimum/ maximum, if that's easier for you to guesstimate.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tometoyou:
My aunt came to me with a problem with her phone (Galaxy S5 G900F on 6.0.1 or 6.1 official android) and it randomly starting to bootloop, and i've been unable to fix it the past week so i hope someone here is able to help.

Basically she told me there was some sort of logging in error that had been happening for months with the Microsoft Solitaire app so she asked my cousin about fixing it who just said to try clearing the cache and data on the app and so she did that but upon opening the app again it froze at the signing in and the phone started bootlooping so she brought it to me.

After being powered down for a while (30mins +) the phone would come back on and boot up only to freeze after a couple minutes and get sucked back into the bootloop, i put the phone in recovery mode and cleared the cache partition, it stayed on for a good 30-40 minutes until it went into bootloop again and only wanting to boot properly when i cleared the cache partition for another 30 or so minutes with enough time for me to take everything like videos and photos off the phone and do a factory reset.

I did that on tuesday and since i didn't know what her google login information was i just set the phone up so she could make calls and texts which was fine up until today when she came around again to help her with logging into her google account, give or take a couple minutes, as soon as i logged in it froze and bootlooped the phone only to come back on after clearing the cache and going back into bootloop when ever a google app is accessed or i assume a google service process is being done in the background

there isn't really an option to not sign into her google account because she uses some apps from the playstore and would rather them be updated automatically rather than having to download them from apk sites everytime they have a newer version

the battery on the phone seems surprisingly good considering the age of the phone and there's no SD cards installed in the phone and the charge port seems to be clean of any flint

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yabe18:
Hi there, I am having a problem with a LG G2 which was given to the daughter o a friend of mine, here in Colombia. From what I understand the cellphone was a gift from a friend of the family that was on holiday on Christmas in the USA. Now as the title already suggest the problem to be able to use it its the FRP lock, they don't have the email of the last owner, they don't even know who this person is so there's no way to come to this data. I thought to use a ROM LineageOS 17.1 OFFICIAL, or some other but my problem its that I can't see which LG G2 model its, 801, 802, or 803.

That its my question, its there a ROM I can use to upgrade the cellphone? That seems to me the easiest way to circumvent the google lock.

Hope there is someone who be able/willing to help me. Thanks

No, I'm not able to even see the option menu (text). I could customize Interkey at the end of the installation process normally, like add additional languages. After that I've not needed the to modify the keyboard and did'nt even realize the option meny was'nt available anymore !

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I am curious if it is possible to allow for Verizon to be provisioned on the XZ2 Premium. I know that it is possible on the XZ2 (regular model) on older firmware by flashing the OEM.sin partition from the XZ2 Compact as it is certified by Verizon. I believe that this was done on older firmware however, due to the files being placed differently on Android 10. The XZ2 family all have the same source code and same file structure it seems. So maybe this would be possible.

Things I have tried:

Following this thread I followed the instructions provided on older firmware getting T-mobile volte support for the XZ1 devices.

-I tried flashing the OEM.sin partition from the certified XZ2 compact without any success.

-I temp rooted my device and tried placing the files manually as well in the modem folder. However on previous builds such as in the thread linked above, the .mbn files looked to be labeled differently. I do not have the files in front of me at the moment, but I will insert them here when I can later tonight possibly.

-The mbn files look to be structured in a file format such as general/row/verizon....mbn

-I de-compiled the modem.img in the modem of the XZ2 compact and it did seem to be the same file extension listed in the OEM/modem section (General/row/***). I found Verizon listed in the XZ2 compact's modem but did not see it in any of the modems of the XZ2 Premium. I'm not sure if this is going to be a major issue on getting it provisioned or not.

-I did also attempt to flash the modem as well as OEM from the XZ2 Compact on the XZ2 Premium with newflasher, but in the software it only showed "Unknown" for the modem information in the dialer code.

I will admit that I am not knowledgeable when it comes to Sony devices as this is the first one I have owned. I am unlocking my bootloader tonight, so I will have access to any file system in the phone for reference. I think that this could essentially help other carriers with provisioning as well if someone can assist in figuring out how to get it working. Thank you for anyone who tries to help.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
Do you mean 'Current Modem Config' in Sony Service Menu? Do you know which Modem Config should be active to enable VoLTE for your network?

It is possible to backup and restore the TA partition or are you not afraid of losing the DRM keys?

Android 10 VoLTE config files (Pixel 2):

/data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files/

Since the right MBN was already loaded I only needed to enable some booleans like:

<boolean name="carrier_volte_available_bool" value="true" />
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
[MENTION=1995555]SGH-i200[/MENTION]

I do have my TA partition backed up, but there currently is no way to restore it on the XZ2. There was an advisory on the temp root thread by the maintainer/create there that created the restore function for the previous devices. The thread is located here.

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz2/development/xz2-xz2c-xz2p-xz3-temp-root-exploit-via-t4099131

I am planning on unlocking it anyways though as the camera seems to be functional on Android 10 with the bootloader unlocked.

Concerning the modem files, I actually tried flashing the XZ2 Compacts modem image itself as they have basically the same file structure. I flashed with newflasher without any errors (as I planned on unlocking the bootloader anyways if it went bad). It booted fine, but maybe the mismatched file system didn't allow for it to work properly. Also yes, it stated unknown in the Current modem config area in the Sony Service menu.

Regarding the Modem config needed, I can post the exact information tonight when I get home. Or I may need to go to the XZ2 Compact section and ask a Verizon user what is being shown in that menu.

From what I can tell, the file structure when selecting modem mdn files are way different than Oreo and Nougat. Instead of just having an Mdn like "tmobile_us_ims" in the modem folder in the OEM folder, there is a generic looking file with a mdn extention. When you open the mdn, there is a file system written in like "generic/row/verizon/....". At the end of the string of folders there is a single "modem.mdn" file in the last folder. Again, I can post the specifics tonight on the exact location and file structure of everything.

Is there anything that I can pull from the phone to be helpful in this process?

Also, I possibly should have posted this thread in the XZ2 forum. There is no talk of Verizon being able to be provisioned on the XZ2 using the compact files, but I have spoken with a couple of people that did it on an earlier android using the method posted in the Tmobile Lte/Volte thread substituting the xz2 Compact oem.sin. This may help them as well.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
If you find a Verizon Xperia user on Android 10 with working VoLTE, please ask for the 'Current Modem Config' and the firmware version installed on the device and download this via XperiFirm.

The oem.sin partition can be crossflashed the other partitions (which include the MBN files) can not easily exchanged between all devices. Not even between a single und dual SIM version of the same model!

Maybe something can be learned from this Magisk module which adds missing MBN files to a Android 10 device: "Magisk Module that adds VoLTE support [and MBN modem files!]" https://github.com/protonchang/Pixel3-VoLTE-for-TW

MBN file location in Android 10 for Pixel 2:

/vendor/mbn/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/EU/Vodafone/VoLTE/Germany/mcfg_sw.mbn
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I do know the firmware that is working for Verizon if that is what you're asking. It is the latest firmware for the XZ2 compact downloading through XperiFirm down-loader. It's the "customized US - 52.1.A.0.672/R7C" for the H8314 model.

I have requested for the thread to be moved to the XZ2 thread, as all xz2 devices are intermingled there. I will ask on the XZ2C thread as well though.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Something interesting that I have found is that the mbn files are indeed stored in the modem. After opening the modem.img, the path to Verizon's mbn is:

mcfg_sw/generic/row/verizon/vl/us/mcfg_sw.mbn

While having the original modem with the US firmware for the Dual Sim XZ2 Premium, the file is missing in the image. However, I did just flash the modem from the XZ2 Compact, and I found the mapping in a text file located in: /data/vendor/modem_config/mcfg_sw.txt. Inside the modem_config folder along with the mcfg_sw.txt are two other files: mapping.txt and mbn_sw.dig. I am unsure of the purpose of these two files.

So I feel that I am a step farther than I was. I just need to figure out how the system tells the phone to use that mapping. On the dual sim phones there are no modem_config folder in the OEM partition. Does anyone know how the system decides what mbn to use?

*Edit* I actually found the mbn. It is located in /data/vendor/modem_config/mcfg_sw/generic/row/verizon/vl/us/mcfg_sw.mbn. I guess the mapping is there to decide what to use. In my mind I just want to copy the mcfg_sw.mbm to every single extension to make sure it takes, but I'm sure that wouldn't work.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Okay, I have an update.

I am quite certain that I have found the solution to getting the signal/volte to work. It requires me to edit and place files into the /data/vendor/modem_config/ location. However, for some reason any changes that I make get removed and reverted on each boot. I have disabled vbmeta (to the best of my knowledge) as well as decrypt data and removed DM-Verity. I also have magisk installed as well.

If anyone has any advice on how to modify these files without having them revert, would you please post your advice?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
*Solved*

Okay, I managed to get the XZ2 Premium working 100% with Verizon now. I will place a guide when I have a little more time. It requires the bootloader to be unlocked as well as root. I have Volte, MMS, IMS provisioning, as well as LTE. The process is very easy despite it taking me days and hours figuring it out. Thank you for those who answered all of my questions and replying to PMs.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] iCopyPhones:
Did you ever publish this guide?

Additionally, does that account for Android 10?

Just curious as I'd also like to get VoLTE running. I have XZ2 (not Prem.), and will go w/ the XZ2C route, but I want others to hopefully reference this!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Sorry, I have not posted it yet. There didn't seem to be a lot of interest at the time and I got sidetracked on trying to compile a kernel for the device. I was going to make a flashable zip to do the hard work, but I haven't gotten around to it yet either. So I will post how I did it when I have a day off of work. I'm at work now, so I don't have the exact file locations in front of me. It's definitely working on Android 10 though.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] iCopyPhones:
That's cool, no worries.

I have a feeling it would be the same process for the XZ2 to XZ2C for Verizon VoLTE, but honestly just looking for what was done as reference to better learn the steps myself.

Thanks much for the reply. Looking forward to the mini-guide then :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Bill720:

Hello,
