[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] runswithascript:
A friend's S7 is stuck on Android 7.0 but they brought it to me because their wife has the same phone but it upgraded to Android 8.0. Despite reboot, and factory data reset, when I press System update nothing happens, there is no UI response at all.

There has been some confusion over over which firmware to use as when I have provided screenshots as different people have told me because I am in Ireland I should use XEU, others have told me I should use INS or something else. The about device menu, the download firmware upload screen, the CSC dial code, and the Phone Info app all report the phone is a different model. Please see the different models and device information observed below.

SM-G930F observed:

Initially based on this with Odin I tried flasing https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G930F/XEU/G930FXXU8ETI2 :

View attachment 5176239

Looking at Odin it seemed to work, but I read on successful flash a new reset button should appear where the green pass box is displayed but at the end this just appeared for a split second before reverting to the green pass box, before the phone restarted itself. On checking nothing has changed, still Android 7.0, despite reboot, and trying to flash again.

On further investigation, apparently the CSC that's an Indian dual sim SM-G930FD:

But this is a single SIM model:

The main purpose of trying to upgrade is to enable the owner to link a heart rate monitor watch device to it with Bluetooth which required 8.0, as to alert them to any heart abnormalities. Due to this, I would rather not use any custom ROM and only stock.

Is there a stock version firmware that will work with this device, and are there any higher than normal risks involved with flashing it with Odin? It was mentioned to me that because the device is an apparent refurb the risks are 50/50, and I would rather make the owner aware of this before flashing if that is the case.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] riojosepha:
I might be able to help you,

Is the phone model SM-G930F or SM-G930/A/P/V/some other kind of USA variant?

Can you show a picture of the device in stock recovery mode as-well as a picture OEM unlock in the developer menu?

The phone seems to display multiple times, the Snapdragon variant of the S7.

The phone also seems to show the bootloader and the baseband/modem, as G930P, the Sprint version of the S7,

the build version/PDA, and the CSC shows G930V, meaning the Verizon version of the S7. These two models probably shows that the S7 used to be a Snapdragon S7, not the Exynos version (G930F)

You said the phone is a apparent refurb, right?

The only reason I could think of why Odin somehow flashed SM-G930F firmware is that it probably has some kind of USA/Snapdragon variant of the S7 logic board and has the rest of the part with the model SM-G930F.

Not sure yet, but you may want to try flashing a USA variant of the S7 firmware.

Alternativly, if it is overruled that the phone is not a Snapdragon S7, you may choose to use this custom ROM/firmware. Everything works as it is just regular stock ROM (android oreo 8).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Things you can try:

Flash the latest Nougat firmware, then flash Oreo.

Flash the firmware in separate (eg. Bootloader only, CP only, ...)

Flash the latest recovery (extract it from the firmware) and wipe the phone with it, then head to the updated Bootloader (that you flashed separately) and try flashing again.

Use custom stock ROMs, if all you need is just Samsung Health, otherwise, even AOSP ROMs can make the deal.

Flash an earlier version of Oreo.

It doesn't matter a lot if the phone is refurbished or not, you only write to the motherboard, so knowing what chip and model your motherboard have is the only pillar you need.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] lineweight:
I've recently got an Xperia 1 ii. My previous phone was an Xperia XZ2 Premium, and I always had a bit of a problem with video recorded on that.

The problem is visible whenever I film something that is moving across the frame at a steady speed - it mostly moves smoothly across the frame but intermittently there will be a jump or jerk in its motion.

I had this issue with the XZ2, and assumed it was just something about that device. One of my reasons to get the 1 ii was to get away from this, but I'm finding the same problem. Perhaps not quite as bad, but it's still there.

It's a bit of a disappointment seeing as it's marketed as being especially suited for videography. So the question is, am I doing something wrong? Is this a common problem?

Any thoughts appreciated... thanks.

Hi

I have a HTC Diamond and want to unlock it to use on 3 network.

I know unlocking works with T-Mobile, O2 & other SIMs but does it work on 3 network & still give me full web access, email, etc? :confused:

I what to change to 3 network as the Orange 3G in my area (Redcar, UK) is useless even thought their coverage map said very good (before I bought).

I've spoke to Orange's customer services & they told me that 3G is 'Limited' in my area but I know my brother has 3 network and gets 3.5G in this area.

Anyway enough of me moaning about Orange can anyone help with the query? :confused:

Thanks people:)

I've tried to update to a weekly released, MIUI 12 20.12.28 for my K30 5G but it said that TWRP cannot encrypted data even with my personal password and needed a complete data format to be able to use the system.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] oji5an:
Thumbs up for the new rom in 2021. Thank you Adrian .(y)(y)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
As stated twice in this thread, TWRP 3.5.0 is the recommended version.

If anything goes wrong on an older version of TWRP, the issues can't be analyzed.

Also, updating the TWRP version is a 60 seconds job at most,

I hardly see any reason to wonder about keeping an older one if everything still works.

PS: Please don't PM directly after a public post asking for the same thing, I answer only when available.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] marce74:
Thanks AdrianDC for your answer, I already updated twrp 3.5.0 and installed rom 18.1 and encountered crashing issues of play store, launcher and system UI, I also constantly lose wifi signal, screen stutters due to to the high consumption of RAM and finally the device gets too hot this did not happen to me in the previous versions

I have tried to use another launcher, it stops and won't start

Outstanding work, the ROM is working fine, but after flashing Magisk with BootBridge, it doesn't boot, no Sony logo or anything. I had to use FlashTool in fastboot mode, flash TWRP and reinstall the ROM again.

Same for me, Magisk seems to be bricking the device. GApss work fine though.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:

First, download RoarTheGapps_GO_20201214.zip and tgi_config_files_v3.zip.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] jurkoman:
Hello, i tried install your latest LOS 18.1 and 17.1 with f2fs /data and /cache partition and in every startup there is decryption unsuccessful. I did more things with twrp and only result is format data to ext4. Already tested many roms with f2fs for this device and benchmark results always gives more than 20 percent more score and performance is really better. For this device is needed converting to f2fs because it lags a lot.

It is little bit restrictive and on Android 9 i can install on f2fs but its still in beta and not usable for daily using comparing with oreo or nougat. Simply best is nougat with fusion kernel 1.4 but little bit old.

If you will have more time, dear developer, can you look into this rom with f2fs? Or send some small fix? It will be very nice if we can use A10 on this old but still cool device with more performance.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
greetings adrian !

my nexus 5 finally expired in a spontaneous bootloop, and although i am now the happy owner of a oneplus 5T (running lineage 18.1), i dug out old faithful xperia sp as the backup of my backup (now ex-) nexus, and turned it on after god knows how long

41% battery when it booted :)

i found this thread and marvel that you have produced a rom that is as current as my main phone, and i'm pleased to give it a whirl

my question : is any twrp =/> 3.5 appropriate ?

i'v downloaded the current version twrp-3.6.0_9-0-huashan, but will be pleased to have you confirm it's an okay choice

once again, many thanks for your ongoing support of this fine old hardware... time for mine to take another curtain call in the theatre of life
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Scorpion2185:
Is ok if I have TWRP 3.2.2-0?

I installed it (LineageOS) but doesn't work.

After splash screen for some minutes It reboots on TWRP recovery.

How can I fix this?

The phone had Android 8.1 (AdrianDC version).

Do I need to flash a kernel?

I did normal wipe out and reflashed LIneageOS zip.

So I am thinking about wiping out all, to keep Telegram and Whatsapp session what should I keep?

And I don't want to have to reinstall TWRP.

Thanks.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
instructions explicitly state twrp 3.5 is required (or newer, i would expect should be okay, though i haven't yet tried)

would appear that you are asking for the impossible then
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Scorpion2185:
I downloaded and installed twrp-3.6.1_9-0, didn't know was easy to update.

I used it to update it.

I can confirm that it works, takes some time to start responding decently.

I flashed open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20210101-UNOFFICIAL-AdrianDC in case I need Gapps.

With RoarTheGapps_GO_20210709 and tgi-mini it reboots on recovery as before.

I remember having problem on 8.1 using other Gapps file.

I guess that to be able to use another version you need to be lucky.

For this phone a GO version of Gapps could be useful.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
Just for the record: I just used twrp-3.7.0_9-0-huashan to install this ROM (I know 3.5 is recommended, but the version I used was not available at the time Adrian recommended 3.5, so I wanted to try the latest-and-greatest ;)), OS build lineage-18.1-20210125-UNOFFICIAL-huashan.

The ROM seems stable, but aaaaaaawfully slow (obviously due to the very limited RAM available on this ancient device).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] hannor:
I also tried this ROM (many thanks to Adrian for the effort), but I can confirm that at this beta stage it is unusably slow.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _a_m_i_r_gh_:
Thank you very much @AdrianDC

I'm glad you support our little Xperia so we can enjoy our mobile 😍😘

The only issue that seems to me to be very nerve-wracking is "average memory use", which is 95% occupied and works, and after running a program, the phone speed drops sharply.

- Bluetooth stopped at the beginning of the smartphone and did not turn on at all.

Also Launcher does not have a widget and it seems that it can not be added

Hoping to develop this ROM 🙂
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Thanks !

Concerning RAM, the 841MB of RAM available on our Xperia SP are always going to be an issue,

as of now, I feel the device performs better than 17.1 on a daily usage basis,

the 768MB ZRAM improves the memory stress issue a lot since 17.1,

and I'm still working on trying to reduce things we don't need to improve responsiveness.

For your Bluetooth issue, which nobody else reported yet, could you please send me the logs for debugging (PM) ?

As for Launcher without widgets, that's normal, I'm now using full Android Go configurations,

and the widgets feature is one of the few ones removed from Go to improve RAM / responsiveness,

thus we are now using the Trebuchet Go variant of the Launcher app.

Side-note, there's a Calendar app failure related to the lack of widgets in Go,

I fixed it (along the Messaging and Music apps already done), next build will have it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lobotron:
I just installed & must say this looks very promising, so far no issues and a much better feeling than with 17.1. Bluetooth seems to work here. I can even use the square again. So my oldest mobile has the newest lineage now, unbelievable. @AdrianDC Thanks again very much and all the best for 2021!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Next build will include the HIDL Lights HAL I worked on for 17.1 but never finished,

this will resolve the lights errors (despite working as it is) and reduce battery usage,

however it'll need some testing on Xperia V and Xperia TX devices (as I test on Xperia T).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] skytorch:
Wow, amazing!
