Hi everybody,

Looks likes things turned bad for me when trying to flash this ROM.

Here is my story:

- I have a SGP511 Castor Windy. Before trying to upgrade, I had a twrp 3.2 recovery (from SpiritCroc's CarbonROM thread) and a AICP 14 ROM. Nothing to complain with this combo except frequent Wifi connection issues.

- I started flashing SpiritCroc's twrp 3.4 recovery and everything went flawlessly (maybe that's my mistake). No troubles booting system or Recovery.

- Following this thread, I flashed (with sideload mode when in TWRP 3.4) the Los17.1 ROM and Magisk 20.4 respectively (after data + system + cache wipes of course) No warning or error during this process.

Things turned bad at reboot : blank screen, no notification LED, not even the usual xperia logo at startup . . . My tablet looks bricked !

Forcing restart with the power button brings only a small vibration, but both screen and led stay blanked. I tried to boot in recovery mode: no way.

The only thing I can do is to boot in fastboot mode (blue LED is on) I tried a fastboot reboot recovery: no chance. If I try a simple fastboot reboot, nothing hapens except a flashing red led as long as the tablet usb is connected to the PC. When I disconnect the USB, led turns out and screen remains black ....

I'm stuck with no idea to go further. I'm afraid the only solution left is to go back to stock with flashtool ?

If anybody has a better idea, I take it !

Sorry for being so long and thank you for your assistance.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] qsnc:
try:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

while the sony logo is displayed, push vol+ and vol- a couple of times in succession to get into recovery. if that does not work, something is seriously awry that can't have anything to do with this rom.

do please contact me via pm if you have further troubles
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] creditabricole:
I already tried to re-flash recovery (both twrp 3.2 & 3.4) and reboot from fastboot mode but no way: I can't even have the Sony logo at startup: both screen and notification led stay blank . . .

I'll give it another try tonite and let you know. Thank you for your support.

No chance: I had another try flashing recovery + fastboot reboot with no more success :cry:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Dan Mornill:
Hey there,

Just flashed it, no major problems, apart from :

- automatic screen rotation does not work, except when forced by an app (more buggy than with AICP 15)

- bluetooth keeps crashing and is unusable

- some random reboots

Using Xperia Z2 Tablet WiFi
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] SirBoss1st:
I had the same problem. I was able to solve it by re-flashing the boot file from AICP15 & the recovery from TWRP. Then the tablet starts normally (with LineageOS).
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] creditabricole:
@SirBoss1st

Thank youuuuu so much ! You saved my life. I was desperate to see my device booting one day. I have to fess up I would never dare to flash another ROM boot image ! Anyway I still had another issue flashing directly:

C:\Util\adb-fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.

So I did that:

C:\Util\adb-fastboot>fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
Sending 'boot' (7664 KB) OKAY [ 0.254s]
Writing 'boot' OKAY [ 0.524s]
Finished. Total time: 0.787s
C:\Util\adb-fastboot>fastboot flash recovery TWRP-34.img
Sending 'recovery' (13258 KB) OKAY [ 0.414s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.903s]
Finished. Total time: 1.367s
C:\Util\adb-fastboot>fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

And then, at least, the Sony logo appeared and LoS 17.1 first boot was on the way.

I'm not very skilled in android stuff but looks like my boot partition has been corrupted during the first ROM flash.

Hope that can be useful to others and maybe developers . . .

One more time thank you for saving my tablet and your efficiency guys !

so, everyone experiencing problems is on castor_windy?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] iestyn99:
Coming from AICP 15, updated TWRP to the 3.4.0 version in OP, did a factory reset (cache, dalvik, system wipe) and installed this ROM together with Gapps. Works!!

Got a pop-up that Bluetooth has stopped, indeed. And had one spontaneous reboot (more to come?). Will continue testing but it looks very hopeful. Thanks for keeping my old device alive!

Edit: Btw it's a castor_windy. And I have had no more reboots, only the one.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] JP_TouchDiamond:
I am experiencing a stable ROM so far. Only issue I had is a message "Bluetooth keeps stopping" during first start of LineageOS at welcome screen. Now Bluetooth is working fine, I am using a Bluetooth keyboard. Wifi is also fine. No reboot so far. I came from AICP 15 and installed LOS in combination with Gapps nano. Main applications running on my device are Chrome, Nova Launcher and for sure PlayStore. Thank you very much for this great work!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] SirBoss1st:
I had the same message, but I don't use Bluetooth. I came from AICP 15 and I often had reboots in standby mode. Now in Los 17.1 with OpenGapps pico, I haven't had a single reboot yet. It is a good Rom, Thank you for this work!

How will that work with updates, weekly or more on demand?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] creditabricole:
Hi everybody,

Some feedback after a couple of days using Los 17.1 on my Castor-Windy: Wifi, GPS and many more work nicely. I have no Gapps installed. No reboot to complain about.

What is not working:

- Bluetooth crashes at startup. If I try to use it later I get forcecloses every time.

- double tap wake up does not work

Battery drain looks a little bit higher that with AICP ROM (in sleep mode) but nothing to worry about.

Thank you for this nice ROM !
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] MaujuDroid:
Oh God, Finally !!!

Let me thank you 1 milion times man.

I try all the custom roms made for the SGP521, but no one had work.

Every rom goes random reboot when the tablet goes deep sleep.

Till now the only one that work for me was the stock 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.1.291.

Finally with this one the problem seems to be gone.

Am not used the rom deeply but till now I can say that, am on castor, Gapps Pico installed, no reboot, Wifi, GPS, NFC and other work without issue. Bluetooth keep crashing, no MAC Address.

Automatic screen rotation does not work in lock screen, when unlocked is ok.

Can't access system when open the settings, everytime the tablet came back at home screen.

The rom start with AICP 15 boot.img.

With the original from lineage the tablet doesn't start, led flash red and tablet reboot.

Can't install magisk either in recovery (TWRP 3.4.0 from spiritcroc) that in Magisk manager, the message is "unsupported/unknow image format" after boot unpacking. Tryed almost every versions either in stable that in canary chanel with patched boot.img.

Make my donation minutes ago. Wish for a more stable release. Thank you for keep our tablet alive !
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] nonenone5542:
I am not really experienced with installing custom roms. Unfortunately installing the lineage zip after wiping the tablet did not work. I had before this, installed aicp_castor_windy_q-15.0-WEEKLY-20210115, but I could not get rooting working on it. So I thought lets give this one a try.

After installing I got a black screen, so I flashed the magisk patched boot.img from the aicp rom zip which I still had, and now it is booting. However sensors are not working.

I noticed someone else having the same problem in this thread. Could this be due to having old firmware or so? (Never changed anything on this tablet)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] nonenone5542:
I have tried this rom, but tablet would not boot. When I flashed the boot.img from the aicp rom, I could get it to boot.

I am not really familiar with installing custom roms. Could using a boot.img from a different rom disable the sensors?

What could be the reason that my tablet is not booting with your default lineage boot.img?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] MaujuDroid:
Anybody succesfully root the rom? If yes could explain how? Thank you.
[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] UzY3L:
Hello,

My phone just updated to FuntouchOS 11 and it is horrible: random restarts, loss in camera quality, even more extremely aggressive battery saving that closes all apps including the launcher, keyboard height reduced by 30% even though it is at max, charging time estimate no longer displayed, loudspeaker volume reduced etc.

I'm trying to go back to FuntouchOS 10 but I can't find firmware for this phone anywhere and Vivo are not answering my email or my messages on facebook.

Phone model is V2006 and firmware build is PD2005F_EX_A_36.7.11

Please help me with stock firmware for this phone and flashing instructions so I don't brick it.

Thank you!
[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] djrocks:
You are using vivo x50 pro right? When did you get funtouch os 11? I still haven't got it... Which region do you belong to..

[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] UzY3L:
I'm from Romania. Really upset and frustrated about this, since I disabled updates specifically to avoid situations like this but somehow, my phone rebooted and I saw the dreaded "updating" screen...

Thank you! Sadly, It didn't work. Didn't know I had an X51. Aren't the X50 and X51 the same phone? If not, what's the difference?

Unfortunately, I have been talking to Vivo and the devices was specifically designed to not communicate with the PC when in Recovery Mode = flashing the firmware is impossible.

They said it needs a "specific tool". Considering the phone talks to the PC (seen in Device Manager) in Fastboot and in normal mode but suddenly stops after entering Recovery mode and gives "USB device descriptor failed" after about 5-30s.

Tested in Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and with different cables,: the result is the same and the random timeout for this makes me think even more that the phone is waiting for a specific tool to be recognized before giving out its device ID. Never heard of a phone do this before
[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] maxant69:
Pay attention! There are 3 different versions of the device:

X50 Pro Cinese - chinese firmware which will receive OriginOS

X50 Pro Global (sold in Russia, India, HK ..) - global firmware still on Android 10 (Global variant of Chinese Funtouch with Jovi, Vivo email, calendar ...)

X51 - European firmware updated to Android 11 (basically a stock Android with Google apps)

There's no way to downgrade by yourself. Only Vivo centers can do it.
[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] ganeshbiyer:
Got an update to Android 11 Funtouch OS yesterday. PD2005F_EX_A_6.70.10.

Edit:

There is no hit to the battery life. Removed most of the unwanted apps (Vivo & Google).

If not already aware... follow this link.

Remove VIVO Bloatware.
[Vivo X50 Pro  Questions & Answers] UzY3L:
@maxant69 : Thank you! Wish I knew all that before. It is ridiculous for me as a customer to know beforehand every single technical limitation of a device. Vivo did a terrible job of informing users of the device and its support (or lack of)

Even more, Vivo told me that the device is sold and bought in Europe but it came from Asia and so it can only be downgraded in Asia...lol, wut? Of course they all came from Asia you dunce, that's where they're produced!

X51 5G is specifically made for the EU market. Doesn't matter if it was made on the damn Moon, if it's physically in the EU, it needs to be fixed there. Who in their right mind is going to pay for shipping and insurance (twice, as Vivo's "warranty" doesn't cover the return trip) to do this? I finally managed to talk to the UK support and the same applies but at least it was cheaper (round-trip would've been ~100Euros)

Long story short: they told me there's a service center opening soon in Romania which hopefully can sort this support trainwreck out. smh, I as a customer, have to beg them to fix the phone for over a month. I am tech-savvy and I had a hard time jumping through all of these hoops so I'm assuming normal people would've just given up, cursed Vivo and bought another phone by now.

Still extremely upset that the phone doesn't send it's USB descriptor when connected to the PC in Recovery mode, that's a stupid intentional decision on their end

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] franklinsox:
Hey there,

Out of nowhere my phone started bootlooping right in the middle of everyday use. It'll get to the animated startup screen and then will freeze and try booting up again. Sometimes it will just stop and say "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."

My phone is completely stock other than the updates that Razer sends out to the phone and my bootloader is locked, but I can get to the bootloader screen where I've tried to recovery mode and wipe user data options to no effect.

If anyone can help me get this phone back up and running, I'd really appreciate it!
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it will let you do a factory reset.

Many times that's all you need to do with a stock phone*.

If that can't be done reflash it to the same version.

It was likely a 3red party apk that caused to boot loop. If you were using a 3rd party launcher... don't use it on the new load! Otherwise any app that seemed unstable don't reload it.

*lol, my 10+ was boot looped twice, back to back factory resets. Last reload I left out the 3rd party launcher. Been running strong for close to a year now🤣

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'll try this again... for a stock Android NOT Rooted see if you can do a factory reset*.

It may let you go into safe mode to recover data but consider that load toast.

It was likely a 3rd party app that boot looped it.

It may have been an update.

Beware of what you install and let update on the new load.

A 3rd party launcher boot looped my stock Note 10+ twice back to back. The factory reset restored the OS and after not loading that launcher again it's been running fine.

* If you can't do a factory reset it will need its firmware reflashed.

This deep level of corruption could indicate either a trojan or a hardware failure. It's not a normal event.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] MoPhoMike:
Boot the phone into fastboot mode. Connect the phone via USB cable and Open a command prompt or powershell as admin and run the following commands:

fastboot getvar all >(enter)

Note the output and determine which slot is active. You should see "active slot_a" or "active slot_b".

Next issue the command:

fastboot --set-active=a (if slot_b was the active slot)

OR

fastboot --set-active=b (if slot_a was the active slot)

Next, issue the following command:

fastboot reboot.

Does the phone boot normally? If so, then the now inactive slot is corrupt and will need to be reflashed.

Once you can boot normally, you then enable developer options and OEM unlocking, unlock the bootloader from fastboot mode and reflash the corrupt partition.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If their data is backed up a factory reset probably best. No reason to beat a dead horse unless you want to autopsy it.

>If it's a virus a factory reset will likely be the end of it and is the best way to deal with it*<

Ether way fresh load is a no brains needed fresh start.

* virus, trojan etc infections are rare on Adroids unless you do something stupid, but they can happen. A boot loop is a possible symptom of an infection.

The full nuke reload option is the best one as a trojan can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time including hardware damage.

Best to error on the side of caution whenever there are signs a device has been compromised.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] MoPhoMike:
The OP indicated that he was able to get to FB mode and attempted a Factory reset to no avail, so the only option is the nuclear option at this point.

That sounds like a hardware failure.

A reflash is worth a try though.

Dear All,

Please kindly help me out of this.

Yesterday, My phone started to develop the "NO GSM: symptoms. At first, the phone ioccasionally turned off after it couldn't connect to the 3G network. Today, after reading nearly all the post concerning this "No GSM" symptoms, I applied the Mtty tools to desparately try to bring my beloved Uni back to life.

I applied that mtty.. I tried to upgrade it by using the shipped rom.. yet it said country ID error.. I reverted to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but the radio rom upgrade failed....

Are there any other solutions I can rescue my uni? I read it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350349 that Radio Rom upgrade may be done through a SD card but the ftp link is dead and I can't get any files from there.

I miss my Uni so so much that I think I would buy another one if there's no way to save it... Please kindly help. all my gratitude.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] vma:
Hi,

Please consider a new battery.

As strange as it may sound, one of my MDA Pro's had similar symptoms with battery at 70%. Replacing the battery with a new one fixed it right away.

The symptoms were:

- less network signal

- random turning off of radio

- could not access phone settings

- radio crash when trying GPRS connection

Also, on my other MDA Pro, I had problems like this, but they were caused by radio ROM 1.18. I changed to 1.15 and everything is fine since.

It seems that aging batteries are a major problem for weird issues. Just buy a new one at ebay and dont start flashing as a fool, cause you can risk a brick.

Cheers,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ronaldphl:
My battery is actually new... just bought it 2 weeks ago.. and I tried the phone with both my new and old batt. still no luck -_-

I can't flash any radio rom now... is my Uni certified dead?

Any help would be great.. thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rbalu72:
Try charging the battery first in another universal if possible, if battery is ok, put it in and try again, read Wiki and check if you can go to boot loader mode, check whether pc recognising the Uni once on etc.,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ronaldphl:
Read everything and the computer recognised my Uni ... tried MTTY tools to reset all the DOC partition in my Uni yet no way to reflash my radio rom again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rbalu72:
I think as long as PC is recognising, dont consider it as DEAD. Its very much alive and keep hopes.

as I read through this forum, Radio ROM flashing is the most risky thing and often takes longer.

If you are not already considering, try only flashing radio rom and do not club with extrom etc, try redownloading the ROM or try a different version from a different link, unless you are particular about the one you are trying.

Always use the original USB cable supplied with the Uni.

Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus. Connect Unit to PC to the USB port directly and not through a USB HUB.

Start flash again..

All the best
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
From the problem behavior it seems your device got GSM locked, I'm afraid it's permanent. But at least try ...

1. Remove the SIM card

2. Must upgrade the bootloaded to 1.01 if it's a G3 (and not upgraded already).

3. Run the Buzz's CID unlocker tool and flash the radio (version 0.00) provided with the tool.

4. Do the HR and check the status

I'm using my Xiaomi 55W wireless charger with the 120W supply that came with my Mi 10 Ultra. Works a treat.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
So what actually is the FASTEST charger that can be safely used with the P5 apart from the supplied Google charger that comes with the P5 and the Google Pixel Stand ?

If a non UK forum member replies, remember I'm in the UK, so ideally I'd like one that I can source in the UK, but I'd still be interested in what others are using.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] Corvidd:
As far as I'm aware, using a charger with more power than the supplied charger makes no difference. The device decides how it will draw power.

These high wattage chargers are mainly for laptops.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] kv1dr:
I bought this 45W charger few days ago, but with one usb-c and one usb-a port. First I bought variant with 2 usb-c ports, but it didn't work well, it only charged from the wall, but when tried to charge from battery, phone started to charge power bank instead of the power bank charging phone, so I returned it and got the variant with one usb-c port and with one usb-a port, because they didn't have option with two usb-c ports anymore. I actually love this charger, because you can use it for both, as wall charger and as power bank and that's awesome for traveling and it also have PD. But I don't think it's really 10000mAh power bank. I tried to charge my phone from power bank, the power bank was fully charged, and my Pixel 5 was 50% charged. I left it overnight and it charged my phone to 100%, but power bank has only 25% battery left (1 light on out of 4). I don't think 10000mAh power bank should last only half of a charge. I was thinking about ordering other charger and power bank, but I couldn't find any charger and power bank in one device other than that specific device from Baseus.
