[MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION] holly molly. I don't have device. But this is so cool. I mean bringing the latest on such an old device. Great feat AF
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
Hmmm, looks like my phone boots into fastboot mode(shows blue LED), but in cmd its not detecting it. ADB works but fastboot doesn't work on my device. Any help is appreciated. (Im a noob in fastboot stuff).
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Cubbins:
If you use Windows most likely fastboot driver is missing. Check device manager
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tommytomson:
[MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION]

After connecting the phone to Fastboot, I have a blue LED for 5 seconds and the phone disconnects and I have a red LED and it connects again to disconnect in a moment ...

USB Drivers installed...

Where is the problem?

Ok, I found the mistakes... but I have problem with ADB because i don't know how to use image and where start the command prompt. SDK installed in directory:

C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
After installing the drivers via platform tools, I also started to have these issues except mine goes into fastboot for about 10 seconds then it the LED goes from blue to red then it goes into a green LED(which is flash mode).

Hi [MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION], I am going to try that ROM during this weekend. I have few questions beforehand:

If I am not wrong, this is pure AOSP, so no gapps are present. Is it possible to install them? I don't see any of them for A11 on the Open Gapps site, so I guess they can't be installed currently but I want to be sure.

Is this ROM compatible with TWRP for this device? I guess it isn't so will it be? Do you have plans to also build TWRP along side building ROM (so for example gapps, magisk and other TWRP zips can be flashed)?

If you are going to make TWRP compatible with android 11, are you going to make flashable zips, rather than relying on manually flashing img files?

Will you (if at all) only work on AOSP build for m4 aqua or are you interested in making for example Lineage OS 18, once it is stable enought (sources are already public, but not many lineage's OS features work at the moment). I personally would prefer LOS over AOSP in long time perspective, but I am not in charge here, you are [MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION] :laugh:, so I am fully dependent on your will (but it would be cool if you could consider making LOS, and even cooler :fingers-crossed: if you switched from AOSP to making just LOS + TWRP :D.

I would be glad if you answered mine uncertainties.

Whatever your plans are for the m4 aqua, you already have made more to it, than anyone in the past years. I wish you easy and fast time fixing the bugs ;).
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
Can anyone give me a guide of some sort to install these drivers the correct way in windows ?

Im going to start installing these drivers from scratch but I need some sort of guide to follow.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Update- I have installed it by myself. But im getting the same issue, when I type adb reboot fastboot

it reboots into fastboot mode(blue led) but then when i type fastboot devices, it doesnt show up even thou it is in fastboot mode.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Axaroid:
[MENTION=9699281]pawloland[/MENTION] The rom supports project treble
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawloland:
Seriously?! It is awesome:D. So theoretically I could flash this ROM and then flash for example Lineage OS 18.1 GSI (when they are available) on top, to get (at best) fully working Lineage OS. Am I right?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Cubbins:
Installing GAPPS is possible using some tricks, but I am not doing it, sorry. I think you can find the answer on this forum.

It's compatible with any TWRP version, just don't forget that we use cache partition as a vendor.

At the moment I'm concentrated on working on the kernel and I see no reason to build any other custom ROM. Maybe when the kernel is in good enough shape we will return to this question.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Cubbins:
If you are interested, yesterday I tried to boot LOS GSI https://twitter.com/PavelDubrova/status/1316193182175166466
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
Finally! I managed to install it on my phone.

I actually had to install linux on a virtual machine cause windows 10 doesn't like my device even though I had fastboot drivers.

Then after a few hours of figuring out the commands, I got it to install on my device via virtual machine.

P.S I actually tried this ROM and its pretty unstable for the moment.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] darkello02:
I never expected someone to make a new rom for my dear M4 Aqua! thanks cubbins
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xdagenius:
My m4 is colecting dust for years im gona flash this rom then i have spare time GJ
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
Do keep in mind that this ROM isnt ready for daily driving just yet. It is unstable for the moment.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawloland:
It is worth mentioning what is not working.

Last time I used it I found those issues:

-no camera nor fm radio app (so I assume they are not working)

-no gps (location)

-no media playback (only works through web browser like firefox, which has media player built in so it doesn't depent on OS to play video I suppose). Newpipe, gallery or any other app that plays media and depend on OS for this functionality is crashing (missing codecs I guess)

-huge battery drain

-selinux problems

-no Google services (not a bug really since it is AOSP, but rather an inconvenience.)

-visual glithes like LSD halucination (most often observed in QS panel)

-I tried booting gsi lineage 17.1 but failed to do so ending with bootloop (I am a noob with gsi flashing so it may be my fault, and gsis are working fine, but I don't know how to flash them properly)

-wifi settings is't showing all available networks nerby. I was unable to find my hotspot network from second phone, but after I manually typed it (ssid, wpa2 key password) i was able to connect.

- audio is sometimes loud sometimes quiet even if I am not changing loudness.

- changing brightness is buggy

It is all I remember, of what wasn't working at the time.

Now here is the list of what is working and I am surprised it is at this stage:

-charging LED

-bt (sort of work, audio over bt is very unstable but I think it is tied to audio issue I mentioned previously, so once it is resolved, audio over bt may be working juat fine).

- wifi (expect for the bug mentioned earlier)

It would be cool to see m4 aqua run android 11 flawlessly, but I can demand that from the OP.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] codeanit:
Thanks. More details please.

[MENTION=7102762]Cubbins[/MENTION], Thanks a lot for the resources.

I'm new beeee in this kinda things and would love to read more detail processes/steps that you followed to make those img files.

Also, there is an issue with network as it seems to be deactivated by default and there is no way to reactivate them.

At the moment I have not found a way to revert the phone back to its original state so would love to hear from you on this issue.

Thanks again. Cheers,
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Maybe camera (and fm radio) will work because my j730 does not have stock camera and i installed google camera go and it works.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
I have seen some progress in Github, and I must say that if this ROM becomes stable and for daily use, this will be a dream come true for Xperia m4 users.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ImpalaThatisntSoTame:
I'm so impressed about your work!!! You really do make me regain the hope of my old device running smoothly again. I've been thinking about making custom ROMs myself, since there are a lot of old and unpopular devices lacking custom ROMs of a higher Android version. I'm really admire developers like you whose works revive old devices. Could you please simply describes what you have done to create such a ROM? Thanks!!! (Sorry about my poor English, I'm still learning it :)) @Cubbins
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] linccracker:
What firmware version do I flash this over, as when I try my phone starts up and shows log scrolling past then reboots couple of times then gets stuck on log with penguins at the top, I've tried many times and also left it over an hour but it's stuck. So have to use flashtool too restore phone again.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Not my name:
It

It should be the latest firmware available for your device.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] linccracker:
Will give it another go tomorrow, but I'm sure it was latest in Xperiafirm
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] linccracker:
Reflashed phone again , started it up , went through usual setup stuff , rebooted to fastboot and flashed rom .

But iit's still getting stuck on boot up .

Here is the firmware version i'm flashing over (see pic)View attachment 5239835
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] pawloland:
Just use emma to fix it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] linccracker:
I have done.. But I'm wondering why mine is the only one reporting this problem.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi256:
I have the same error in E2303
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] bruno$0:
Dear Mr. @Cubbins , i flashed your rom and device boot up pretty fast. I have noticed that my touchscreen dosen't work. I have a M4 Aqua Dual (E2363). I can support your work with all you need if you say what i need to do. Maybe i can donate too if your project mininal working in my device.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] LR7875:
What if you try to boot a GSI from fastboot (with the 5.4 kernel boot.img, and vendor.img flashed)?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Vhy467CGYH%466:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Cubbins:
Sorry for the inactivity and lack of support, but I have absolutely no free time for this project. The only way I can help at this point is some advice if anyone decides to continue working on this.

Buenas tardes,he descargado todo tal y como pone en el hilo,y he flasheado todo como pone aqui,y el telefono se queda con la pantalla llena de letras y numeros y con unos pinguinos en la parte de arriba ,y no se enciende.No se ,he seguido todos los pasos al milimetro.Podrian ayudarme?Gracias
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Nikkerston:
i Hope some one decides to keep developing this rom. the owner of this thread should probably abandon this project and say somewhere so a developer knows that this project can be taken and conteniued
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nexuspb:
Could you explain how you mainline without the vendor proprietary HAL implementation? Do they still work even though they were compiled with an older kernel? I don't see them in the device tree?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nononononos22:
I did not expected someone to pick some old device and to make custom rom of it, and to make it from 6.0.1 to Android 11. Respect!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] slashst:
only penguins and a terminal as above at the spanish comrade

thats all i got , no fix either

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] lm8lm8:
hi, could you tell me what was your experience with that M4 alternative project?

thanks!! :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Cubbins:
Bootable but not usable
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] lm8lm8:
unusable in which way?

could it run AOSP or postmarketos?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] LR7875:
depends on what you call usable. i mean it isn't exactly barred by the laws of physics that you can't connect to your own wifi and log into xda forums on it so if you call that usable it is, but expect random crashes/reboots and some features not working (mobile data, video playback etc isn't exactly guaranteed to work, although it is possible that it works). It boots with some GSIs but don't expect using it as your only device with serious work you need to rely on

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Superion:
Hello! I did some research in the threads about doing the soft reset during the customization-countdown after a hard reset; that removes the AT&T "bloatware". I couldn't find these questions answered, so:

1) JUST in case: Am I correct in assuming that this alteration isn't permanent? I'm thinking that if I don't like what that does to my phone, I can just do another hard reset, and then allow the phone to go through the customization...which will make it just like it was in the first place. Right?

2) On one of the threads here that discusses the procedure, a referral link sent me to the AT&T page about doing hard resets. Of course, AT&T advises against doing the soft-reset-on-countdown, saying that "EMail, Internet, and other applications may not work." I take it that isn't exactly the case...am I right?

One more question...I'm curious if there is any customized ROM out there that has dealt with the storage card driver issue (where every other process "wakes up" or is activated before the storage card).

THANKS!

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] honor701:
Hi all.

I have had a problem with the wireless charging on the galaxy s20. About 10 days ago it totally stopped working. I am using a powerbank with wireless charging feature. I can't put finger on it why that happened considering the fact that I have not made any changes to the phone (major system changes). The only thing I've done was to install the security patches and so on (last one being the September one). So, my question, is there an option or something to somehow stop the wireless charging feature or something, does the power mode option have something to do with this?

I've stopped Bixby routines just in case that it had something to do with this, no change.

Adaptive power mode- no change.

Fast wireless charging/wireless charging options changed- still no wireless charging.

I have no way to test this phone with another wireless charging pad but I'm pretty sure the one on my battery should be working (1 month old, used about 5 times, should be high quality).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jonboi:
Only way to rule out device failure, is to try your phone on another wireless charging pad. Likelyhood is the wireless charging circuit on your powerbank has failed in some way. Find another wireless pad to test with

I had a cheap wireless stand fail after about 20 charge cycles, replaced it with a Belkin one and it was fine after.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] digitaljeff:
Known issue after the Sept sec patch. Something changed , no one has yet to figure out what or why .

All we can do is wait for next month's patch, or someone to figure out a workaround until then
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] honor701:
UPDATE:

Just installed the October security patch. Nothing changed with my problem. In the next days I am going to test my pad with another phone with wireless charging and see where the problem is.

Thanks for the suggestions, just seen how many people have the same problem as me so that gives me hope ?

Out of the box the phone was unbranded, and the phone is for my girlfriend's mom, who lives in the Philippines. I have TMobile and wanted to test that it would work so I put in my sim to test it. After a reboot it had the the TMobile splash, sounds and apps that it didn't have before, and now it says that it's network locked.

Can this be flashed back to the way it was out of the box? I've rooted phones before, so I just need to know what to do IF it's possible, or do I just have to try to get it carrier unlocked now and it will stay TMobile branded?

I'd try it myself but I don't have a Blackberry plan yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clausg:
Hi guys,

I am sorry, but I don't know if the USA Raphael is CDMA or GSM and its implications to Blackberry.

I do have the GSM Raphael and Blackberry Connect is no problem at all. Just install the latest version (see my footer) and run. No hacking required. Works perfectly, no big load to processor or memory, full integration in TF3D. Very stable device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aussieak:
Yes I had it working fromt he 1st day in BIS mode. I have to say

1. It slowed the TP OS down.

2. Blocks other data traffic ports like browsing so you need to turn the connection off if you want to do other data related stuff.

3. Sends emails in plain text only and does not allow calandar accepts and rejects. (this may work in BES as calandar and contact sync is supported in the software)

I ended upi paying the contract penalty to drop BB for a standard data pack instead. emials are better although I don't have push yet.

Does not slow the OS down.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pschoch:
I installed BB connect when I got my Pro in August. Works like a charm and I have no problems with accepting or rejecting meeting requests.

It does eat up the battery...

Google for blackberry connect.... :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Blob8me:
Indeed I do :cool: I have the BES Version (E for Enterprise) and its working really well too! I've used bbconnect on various devices now for about 2 years and this ones as good as any other - which is great!

I have my email, contacts and calendar all synced all of the time. I often have email arrive on my Pro faster than I do on my desk-top - its much quicker and more reliable than push email - although I do also have my g-mail synced with emoze - another great FREE app available for free from emoze.com

I dont have an issue with blackberry data connection conflicts either as both my weather update and google maps work well with bbconnect installed! I also have BlackBerry Browser running which gives full access to my corporate intranet too - only in explorer though and not Opera!

So - in summary - works on the Pro and works Really well.... :)

Software can be found here and by the way you'll need at least version 4.0.0.100 for it to work on the Raphael.....

I've also attached here's a couple of screen shots!
