for some odd reason, my device is not being recognized in bootloader mode when I try to unlock the bootloader it just says waiting for the device any recommendations
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] bidhata:
Anyone having XQ-AS52_Customized EEA_58.1.A.5.530 Magisk Kernel to share ? Recently got the device and failing to find the right SIN file to patch. Your help is appriciated.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Noice Idea! Lets See what i can do...

Sounds Like You missed the Drivers... Pleased Install the shared Drivers or Grab the Google Drivers for ADB & Fastboot...

You need to extract the Sin File to an Image File with UnSin (Linked on Post #1) First. After that, Copy the .img File to Your Device and Patch it with the Magisk App
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] bidhata:
Made it. Attaching to help others. It is XQ-AS52_Customized EEA_58.1.A.5.530 EXT and Magisk patched.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Cridre:
Happy happy joy joy!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Started with a Script based on another One. It's a Bat File which You can Run on Windows to Unlock, Flash and Wipe with Y/N Choices in a Terminal. I would prefer a GUI but i never Made an .Exe for Windows so this might be stuff for the Future...

@bidhata glad You got it! Have fun (:

what´s wrong with my installation?

None of the oem-subcommands is running.

My device: Xperia H8166, H8166_Customized DACHBLX_52.1.A.3.49-R6C

platform-tools>fastboot oem lock

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

Literally says what the Problem is. Seems like You're not using the Google Platform Tools...!?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] der.lange:
all other fastboot-commands are running well....
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] der.lange:
all other fastboot-commands are running well....

the system is fresh built with "newflasher"; perhaps something wrong with the oem.img?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] SeventhRaven:
I can't see to get this to work. I always end up in the boot loop of seeing "Sony" and then going back to rebooting.

Every step has been executed, all the alternative ways have been tried as well. Same boot loop after I flashed the patched image.

I cannot seem to simply flash a custom ROM onto the phone either. I've spend a lot of hours in the past 2 days on this and know no further. Any ideas or something new that's crucial? I also seem to be having issues with having the system recognize other partitions, such as the system, so I cannot flash that. I am at a loss.

Though at least Emma lets be easily put it back to stock.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Some additional Infos might really Help.

Which Fastboot Version are You using? Which Magisk? Flashed vbmeta? Which Firmware are You on, which exact GSI are You trying to use? Wiped/Formatted the Device?

@der.lange tried flashing Stock again? You need to have an untouched System. No Magisk, No Userdata...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] SeventhRaven:
Latest fastboot version, fresh from the SDK tools r32.0.0. Tried the latest stable/beta Magisk as well as the canary. I flashed the vbmeta from the GSI ARM64 (non GMS) for both A11 and A12. Neither worked.

Tried it with the latest firmware from both Emma and XperiFirm. Neither worked. Device was/is completely wiped.

In another thread, it was suggested that the drivers might be the issue. I do get issues with certain partitions, such as system, not being found and certain write commands, such as erasing the meta, being denied. Any extra clear guidance on the driver installation? There's this thing with the Fastboot and Flashmode Drivers clashing with the drivers of NewFlasher, for example. But I recall having tried either being the last to be installed. It was also suggested to use fastbootd for that other ROM ( https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-s-unoff...-for-xperia-5-ii.4391653/page-2#post-86380401 ).

Update: Nvm, fixed the issue.

Was either a driver, cable or command issue (apparently I wasn't in fastbootd after all...the device restarted to system the first time, for some reason...or I typo'd).
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Glad You got it to Work. If You want to get the Max Out of Your Device, try Ponces PE 12 GSIs with My MARS SOMs. It will nearly give You the full Pixel Expierence with some Additions and optimizations
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] SeventhRaven:
I'll consider it, but I am still struggling with some things on the LineageOS 19.x GSI that I decided to use.

SafetyNet does not pass (only needed that for one app, though said app didn't work even when it passed with root on the GSI of phhusson). Currently trying to get Gcam to work as well, but it's quite unstable, so that might be a hopeless endeavor.

But generally, I am trying to keep the phone as light as I can. That Ported Pixel Black Dark Mode, though...that I want for sure.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] barret95:
Hey! I have been trying to make this work since yesterday, I have followed instructions, however I keep getting bootloop after flashing the Patched .img on number 4. 19. I have tried using Magisk v24.3, 24.0, and app-debug (bf80b08b (22003) using beta, stable and on the app debug, I used the canary update channel. Phone information: Android 12 XQ-AS52_Customized EEA_58.2.A.0.899. Have looked at the github Bootloop after installing patched boot img but it's a bit confusing.

If you need any more information I can try my best to help :)

EDIT: I finally did it!! what I did was:

Every step up till patching the boot.img via magisk (latest version 24.3).

I unpacked the boot_********.img file and did the fstab remove system_ext then saved with Notepad++ and repacked.

Only then I patched the boot_********.img file via magisk.

Then fastboot flash the patched file.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] palamosteliaro:
I have the exact same error on almost any command I run. I managed to oem-unlock once, the command appeared to be stuck (did not show success in the end) so I closed the CMD window, but the bootloader actually got unlocked and I have root now after also successfully flashing a prepatched magisk boot image.

After few days nothing works except fastboot reboot, fastboot oem unlock says that its already unlocked but fastboot oem status gives command failed.

fastboot boot twrp.img same error.

I tried: different drivers (from this post, from google, from sony and from the flashtool installation) different computer, cable and ports, different versions of fastboot/adb executables (from google and other places I found on xda) i also tried in fastbootd with "fastboot reboot fastboot" always the same error.

OEM unlock and USB debugging are activated.

This is the second time I buy a used xperia 5 ii and even the first time (about a year ago) I remember having a lot of trouble finding proper drivers and fastboot/adb executables. It took me a long time to find ones that actually work and now I regret not keeping those files!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] live4nothing:
To all the ROM cooks and expert,

I have a quick question regard the TOTAL amount of the RAM available in a ROM. I tried many new and old roms in this forum and I found one general conclusion. That is generally for all the roms (except the one with UL, Throttle Laucher, or SPB shell loaded), the amount of used RAM after a reboot is about the same, about 23 ~ 24 MB. However, what make the amount of free RAM available depends on the amount of TOTAL available RAM. This is my question, how come in some roms, there is about 52 MB available while some only have about 47 MB available. As you can see, the difference is about 5 MB, which is a good amount? Thanks
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The total available RAM has to do with how big the pagepool is, how much is dedicated to the kernel, etc. The free RAM has to do with what's running in the background (programs, services, etc.)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] live4nothing:
I know to get more free ram, we can disable startup services and some background programs, but can we get more TOTAL available ram? I should ask this question up front. Our device, Herald or Wing, have 64 Meg of RAM, even with your JUSTME, the maximum it shows in "Device Information" is about 52 Megs. Where is the remain 12 Megs go? Can you tell me more details about it. Thanks
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] speoples20:
I would think it would be for the OS software but I could be wrong.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] live4nothing:
Thanks. If it is for the software, then it should reside in the ROM. RAM is for anything that is running, currently or background. What I don't understand is that papa's newest RC6, Open Touch 6.5, and PDA viet's most updated ROMs they all have the same OS build (at least I believe they are), but the TOTAL available ram is different on each ROM. I am trying to build my own rom and just try to learn many thing as possible. Thanks
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The "missing" RAM is taken by the XIP (kernel and such) and various other things like the pagepool. If these guys ran from the ROM, the device would be extremely slow.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] yliam73:
If you have stock MIUI or EU rom and you want to use 90hz instead of 120hz to save a bit of battery, please read this guide carefully.

Steps to follow:

1. Set your refresh rate to 120hz

2 Download and install SetEdit from the Play Store or as an apk.

3. Switch to System Table

4. Find "user_refresh_rate" key and change value to 90

DONE!

You can check the screen refresh rate by using the Power Monitor on Development Settings.

This setting will persist even after reboot. Just don't change the refresh rate in settings.

Thank you!:fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Nazri786:
Try that and not lock at 90....seems like dynamic moving from 90 to 60 to 120.....i though it supposedly to stay at 90....

Hi, it seems in eu_global Roms key is missing. Just add it.

In the EU Rom you can just add the key "user_refresh_rate" with value 90, Power Monitor will show 90Hz.

Thx OP

Edit :doesn't solve the Problem with dynamic refresh rate in games though.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] MocnePifko:
It works just fine. Looks like the screen refresh rate is h̶a̶r̶d̶ locked to 90Hz. Y̶o̶u̶'̶d̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶v̶-̶s̶y̶n̶c̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶P̶C̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶l̶o̶c̶k̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶U̶I̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶s̶ ̶r̶e̶n̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶F̶P̶S̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶9̶0̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶l̶u̶i̶d̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶.̶

It actually gives you an option to use 90Hz refresh rate in place of the stock 120Hz as OP said in the title. Maybe to save the battery and still have a smooth experience. Doesn't make that big of a difference either way imo.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonny993:
It just doesn't work, I set the frequency to 120Hz, installed this app, set the value to 90Hz, checked with the monitor and it was fixed at 120Hz

Make sure you gave the app permission to Modify system settings. It works for me even on 12.0.4.0. Global. Had to do it again after the update though.

Installed setedit

Changed 120 to 90

And it does not work

Even after checking developer options display monitor

Do I need to be rooted or something?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Bryceicle1971:
No luck for me. Stays on 60hz with low frame rate. Might reset an try a reboot
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Bryceicle1971:
Worked after a bit of playing round an a few reboots. Not every application or game is 90hz or 90fps.

But can include when it worked with 'bullet Force'.

Thanks works ?

I discovered that I had regional ROM (ID) 12.0.2 and it didn't work at all despite the fact that the user_refresh_rate key was already there

Anyway I upgraded to 12.0.3 now it works!!

Though you could only switch between 90 and 120. If you set it to like 100 it'll run 120 instead
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Farsinho:
Does it stay on all the time or the dynamic switch still changes it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] quazar666:
Also works on 12.0.7.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Vincent Foxx:
This works for the Xiaomi.eu 12.0.7 although once you change it you won't see it work until you reboot your device. and if you revert back to 60hz then back to 120 you'll have to do it all over again.

FYI, although this worked in Xiaomi.eu v12.0.8.0, it doesn't anymore in v12.0.9.0.

Although "Settings" show 120MHz as selected, "Power Monitor" reports 60MHz after creation of "user_refresh_rate" with SetEdit.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
After riding the HTC and Samsung wagons for quite a while, I have purchased the Oneplus

I have been browsing around the other threads for the 7 and 8 models and it looks like OnePlus typically releases the firmware and/or recoveries right away when a new model is launched. Does anyone know if this will be the case for the 8t?

I want to get root out of the way before setting up the new device when it arrives, so I was hoping a dev already has the boot img uploaded somewhere or it was coming soon.

Does anyone care to elaborate on what expectations should be for this type of stuff?

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Superguy:
If you've around here awhile, you should know that you shouldn't ask about timelines. They'll be available when they're ready.

It's shipping with R out of the box and has new ways of doing things that will take time to figure out. Past availability times shouldn't be used to gauge availability on new phones.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
There is no need to add the useless commentary. I appreciate your reply but I wasn't asking for timelines from a dev or some modification to be done. I wanted to gauge the typical expectations of people have who are current OnePlus users for things like firmware, updates, etc.

For example, HTC is terrible at getting out new updates and has not provided timelines or expectations for firmware updates in like the last year + for their last two flagship models. Samsung is very consistent with software releases and public schedule announcements. These are important to a lot of users and it was tough to determine this when reading the other forums for other OnePlus devices.

Past availability is frankly the only way to estimate when things like this might be available to us. Most companies don't change the way they do everything just because there is a new product being released. If you want to help with that information instead of being negative, I welcome your assistance!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Superguy:
There is typically a monthly update in firmware, with possibly more frequent ones in the beginning if there are issues.

I wouldn't necessarily expect root for at least a week or 2 on any new phone, especially with a new OS.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
Thank you! Good info!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
OnePlus phones can be rooted as soon as you have the bootloader unlocked, and you have either TWRP booting (data decryption does not need to work), or stock recovery patched to accept ADB commands.

Once you can pull the stock kernel, you can patch it with Magisk, boot off it in fastboot, then direct install through Magisk inside the OS.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
Thanks! You gotta love companies who don't actively discourage or block rooting! :)

Can you confirm which TWRP version is working on R/11 for Oneplus? I see the instantnoodle version people are using for the 8/pro; will that do the trick? It has been a while since I had to root and I honestly forget if it is the root or unlocking the bootloader which wipes the device, but I at least hoped to get that done before setting up the device.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I don't know what version is out there right now. My OP8T doesn't come until tomorrow, and I will be at least 40 days out from rooting since T-Mobile won't SIM unlock (generally) until that time, and you need to be SIM unlocked in order to unlock the bootloader.
