Maybe you entered command wrong?

For myself I would flash boot with the recovery image just to the slot I was on when plugging in the device for fastboot mode. Tried it now and it's fine.

fastboot flash boot iode-3.0-20220601-pioneer-recovery.img

Then unplug, hold vol down and power to boot into recovery, re-plug...

Hang on, maybe better to flash the recovery to both slots, I'll try again. Back soon!

EDIT: I have no problem flashing recovery whichever way it's done,. Just the OS is not installing, but I think that's a separate problem because I have a more recent rom on here at the moment.

So, in summary you should be fine following iode instructions using the flash boot_a and boot_b commands
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Guttergorm:
@chrisrg Thanks for your patience, got it sorted out. Just repeated everything, got some problems to get into recovery mode, but finally it went through, I can confirm, that the recovery image has to be flashed to bbot_a and boot_b, recovery and boot are the same with a/b devices.

Any advice on how to root with newer magisk versions?

Since iodé is a derivative of LOS (as stated in the thread title), it's supposed to come with LOS's features and faults. And since it seems to be common knowledge (I never took the chance to corrupt my system by putting part of it onto a sd card) that the "adoption" doesn't work reliably - you won't gain anything from iodé in this respect.

(I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.)

Will it still communicate with some google servers in background for the gps or the precise location or other stuff ?

I am asking that because on my xperia X suzu I've tried to ungoogle a lineage os ( no Gapps, and I've changed all servers I could ), but when I run logcat I am still reading some logs that show communication to google server, may be some ping ( blocked with AF Firewall except one )... but I do not want this too.

PS : I am actually configurating a sony XA2 cause I need UBS-C, I hesitate between lineage os ( so iodéOs may be) and sailfish ( linux based one ).

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vince31fr:
Yes French.

There are no communication with google servers unless you activate microG push notifications during the setup. Then it will depend on what you do on your phone of course, which app youstall, etc.

In all cases: the iodé app monitors everything, so you'll be able to check exactly what happens on

I have adopted iodé os on my XA2 pioneer, the firewall is cool... and yes in some apps it stay some connection to google api and else, but you have to authorize it... for example discord is working very well without any authorisation to google stuffs, Curiosity Stream too.

( I've failed for FL Studio installation.

I've bought it in 2020, and since my xperia X suzu on lineage os without Gapps I can't use it anymore.

That's really stupid because I've bought a XA2 pioneer in order to use it with the Rode AI-Micro.

I've recieved the little soundcard 2 days ago.

Yesterday I've solder some atenuator filter to plug my electroaccoustic guitar on electret lavalier input of the USB-C souncard.

I also build an electret microphone ( all from scratch for free and it's working so well ).

Near professional recording quality with a really small interface ( 69€ FPC on Digit Photo ) and DIY from scratch stuffs... it's just amazing.

Except the Rode apps, because you can't export your recorded files. I've switched to "Lexis Audio Editor". The free version is amazing, like a small audacity with all basic needed function, vrop, trim, normalize, cut ect... wav, m4a, FLAC ect... )
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vince31fr:

For FL Studio, I install a moded version wich worked with microG, after the update to Iodé 3.4-2 ( I don't care, because I got the license at my name, but so happy I can compose stuff everywhere then import it in FL Studio on my computer ).Only 1 week later I notice that Kernel Adiutor have not root acess anymore...

I need it to save my battery by downclocking the phone near everytime of it's usage ( with CPU governor "powersave", 680-700Mhz, without it's run at 1200Mhz everytime, I only need powerfull CPU frequencies to decode MP4 or edit video, compose music ect... ).

So actually I am looking for a good tutorial to root it again. I don't want to bootloop my phone.

Is there any root tutorial that 100% working with XA2 H3113 pioneer on Iodé 3.4-2, lineage Os 19.1, android 12 ?

Is there a version of iodeOS without microG?

If not is there a method to fully remove microG from iodeOS?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Superkenel:
Yes you can delete or deactivate everything you want and you can reinstall it if you need or want ( I am on a rooted phone ).

Here I've deleted the Apple and Mozilla server for geolocalisation. The 3rd screen capture is after the reboot ( "redémarrage" ). And the MicroG Framework proxy ( because I won't use an ap that use googlecloud ) after reading this https://microg.org/.

I've changed Qsms for Chomp SMS.

I've uninstalled the email default ap ( I use tutanota and protonmail ),

uninstalled aurorastore and F-droid ( I use only APK ),

AudioFX, magnetophone, music, radio FM ((musicolet is complete with a good EQ , I don't listen to FM radio, LexisAudio to record sound ),

open camera ( I prefer HedgeCam ),

weather, agenda, carnet, pdf viewer plus ( I use some good websites for the meteo, another open source agenda agenda, Safe Notes, Xodo Pdf, Collabora Office ect... ).

Before to use Iodé Os I've made my own degoogleised Lineage Os 18.1, on my sony Xperia X ( it was a big waste of time, but I've learned a lot ), it took time for a newbie to understand servers used to geolocalisate your mobile, then how to change them ( you need to type line in a console ).

Then I used AF firewall to block every GAFAM **** ( but I missed a lot of url for sure, the iodé blocked urls list is 20 times bigger than my old one ! iodé ap is better than AF firewall because of this native list).

It took one month for me to ( baddly ) degooglise my lineage os 18.1 on Xperia X, so when I've changed my phone for a USB-c one ( Sony XA2 - I need to record sound with a USB-C Rode AI soundcard , Xperia X is not compatible cause micro-usb ), I search for a predegooglised exploitation android compatible system on XDA... and tried iodé os, and kept it.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Privacydroid:
So there is no standalone version of idoeOS without microG?

The steps you listed seem like "alot" manual work.

I have no trust in deleting or uninstalling app will truely wipe all traces of said app from the device.

Best option would be to not have any preinstalled unwanted apps to begin with.

I dont have the technical knownledge you seem to have, i just want privacy.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Superkenel:
Some aps won't start without the fakestore ( FL Studio don't work without microG for ewample ), and Map's ap won't work except if GPS sattellite can reach your phone, with some latency sometime ( I have some issue with my degoogleised lineage os, because I didn't want microG, because I didn't understand it ).

Bur iodé ap is a firewall with some complexity, you have to learn how to use it...

May be you can try 'sailfish os' ?

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Privacydroid:
I don't give a sh!t about microG, iodeOS should not connect to google.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vince31fr:
This is clearly stated in the setup wizard, in the "Push notifications" page: if you let the checkbox selected, microG is activated, and connects to google in the most possible privacy-preserving way. To avoid that, you have plenty of solutions:

- uncheck "Push notifications during setup wizard

- in microG settings, toggle off Google registration, Cloud Messaging, Google SafetyNet

- in the preinstalled apps management (Settings -> Applicaitons -> Preinstalled applications), uninstall microG services core and other microG stuff.

- and finally, in the blocker, block all google related domains as you want.

You can adapt iodéOS to your desire: there's no need to adapt iodéOS to the desire of one single user.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Privacydroid:
If i disable push notifications during the setup wizard why would i follow any of the other steps, you made it sound like turning that off will eliminate microG on the device.

I see no logic in turning off cloud messaging and safetynet in microG settings when i already disabled microG during the setup.

Same goes for preinstalled apps, why uninstall microG core services and other stuff when i've already turned it off during the setup..

This has nothing to do with the desire of a single user, you adverstise iodeOS as a privacy operatingsystem, google is the exact opposite of privacy so as a logical conclusion iode should NEVER have any connections to google.

Atleast provide an option during the setup that will prevent microG from even installing in the first place, let those who want to use microG use it but don't force it on those who don't...

From reading your reply, disabling push notifications during the setup will not disable microG otherwise you wouldn't have listed the other steps.

microG must be optional and not forced onto people.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samhhmobil:
Take this ROM as it is!

If you are unsatisfied with it, feel free to build your own ROM from open sources, but don't request YOUR requirements from other people!

Feel free NOT to use iode and build your OS by yourself instead! There you can do what you want.

Just my 2¢.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vince31fr:
You should carefully read what I wrote in my previous message: "you have plenty of solutions". I never said that you should do everything. I listed the three main ones, which all lead to an equivalent result wrt google : no connection. All these solutions exist to satisfy as much people as possible : the ones that don't want microG from the start, the ones that begin by using microG and finally prefer to shut it off, the ones that want to keep it for network location providers only, the ones that don't even want to see microG in their system apps list... You can do what you want, at any time.

Disabling push notifications at setup ensures that no connection to google will be made. Then, just after the setup, we provide a introductory page where you can review preinstalled apps, and uninstall microG and all other apps. What more do you want ??

And: we don't want to impose a strict privacy to users, at the expense of usability. Users are free to choose what they want, that's what we did.

It depends on what your priorities are:

Privacy and usability -> iodéOS

Security and privacy -> DivestOS

Usability, long-term support, privacy (security not so much) -> /e/OS

I'm on DivestOS since a few months because meanwhile my view is that there is no privacy without security, especially on EOL devices. The OS is very clean with a small footprint. But the XA2 is only my secondary phone that I just play around with so I can't really tell if everything works. G Play services and microG are not supported.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Privacydroid:
Then i missinterpreted your reply.

So all i need to do to completely remove microG, including all connections to google from iodeOS is to turn off pushnotifications and uninstall it in the apps list?

Since you asked "what i want" i would preffer an option that allows me to fully remove microG with the press of a single button, at best during the installation process so the OS will not even connect to google once. But it seems like this is already possible with a few more klicks, so there is nothing to complain.

Finaly my question was if you can remove microG, from reading your reply yes this is 100% possible. Problem solved.

Thanks for the information.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Privacydroid:
Thanks, great report.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vince31fr:
It is possible to uninstall microG at installation, and avoid google contact :

- do not select Push notifications during suw

- last suw step : the iodé welcome page, first button: "Select your preinstalled apps"

After installation, you don't even have to turn off push notifications: just uniinstall it in Settings -> Apps -> Preinstalled apps.

Maybe all this should be more apparent: we may have improvements to make in UI/UX/explanations.
