boot image is giving me "error boot prepare". trying to do clean flash.

update: looks like i need to use 04-02 boot.img and not 17-02.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Yeah, did the same last night as well, lol. Forgot to say something about it.

Took a little while to figure out it was the boot.img coming from exploring Android 12. 😵‍💫

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Rock on, thanks! I am currently running the latest Scorpio, so far I am liking it. Stable, no bugs, no issues, and so far, pretty decent battery. I will test it for a few days unless I have any show stoppers but I just finished rebuilding my PX4 using Scorpion without any hiccups or issues!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] phuphat1986:
any update of this rom?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
You can find some updated unofficial Coral builds over on Telegram.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] phuphat1986:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
NO, and PLEASE STOP ASKING this same question in ALL A11 forums. It is proprietary so NO, not until its reversed engineered.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
Fine rom here! Maaaan is it great to be back on a Pixel device!!! 💯
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
Does anyone know if this rom will install from TWRP?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
I personally wouldn't try that just yet. I would wait until someone or a few someone's report doing a rom install using twrp first before I even thought of attempting this ....For now I would just do the adb sideload.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dragynbane222:
I mean, I flashed my own build of AOSiP 11 last week using the test build just last week, that worked, does that count as a report?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
You are the first person I have heard that reported rom flashing working in TWRP. I mean, if I would have known I definitely wouldn't have made my last post. Much thanks! 😁
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dragynbane222:
Np, genuinely didn't know if that result was the type of test you wanted
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
Are there any security updates on Telegram? I'm still on March 5th and it's feeling like Coral stopped getting support. No offense. I guess I just need to download Telegram and look. Someone should post the latest update in the comments if there are any. I'll go ask.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
The latest update is an unofficial update, but it's in May. The June update is being worked on still.

Telegram's actually a great place to just check for updates. Lots of devs moved over to Telegram. Just join the group and you can get everything setup to just notify you on pinned/announcements.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I second that, I also am not aware of TWRP working enough on A11 to install ROMs but now I am intrigued and going to test.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
I've been unable to activate visual voicemail..is anyone else having this problem? I've pretty much done all the online solutions. I'm thinking about unenrolling from the beta program.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flash713:
I used Scorpion for two months straight recently on my 4XL but unfortunately I never once flipped on motion sense and I'm currently not on Scorpion anymore.. You see this ALOT on xda all over where people ask if something works... I totally understand. But I also have been flashing Android many years and I've yet to break a device from installing too many roms. It can be done but I haven't had that happen yet and up until about two years ago I flashed several times per week, every week and sometimes several times per day even on all my devices. I said all this to say this, I suggest trying it yourself and see what's up with whatever you wonder about. Many people comment false things here on xda and all over the net and sometimes what works on one users device doesn't on another users. I just backup my apps+data using Swift app and transfer to my PC and flash away. Just a suggestion. Better to find out for yourself than ask because you could get a misleading answer only to maybe find out later that said feature did or didn't work... Unless of course the dev who compiles the rom replies. Then I'd say it's more than likely accurate. Nothing like trying it yourself though. Imo anyway. 😁
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
well said, 100% agree, just try the ROM.

I get it, it takes a lot sometimes to prep and setup the ROM afterwards (user apps/texts/ETC) but the only way to truly test anything, is to try it yourself. Don't rely on other users or their findings as they will never test or know what you need to do and what's critical to you, so only the user can confirm, but others will just report their findings. This may or may not help, so just try it, and know for yourself it it works or not.

If you're not too impressed with Android 12, like a lot of us, give it a go and let me know if you find any bugs.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
AWESOME! I will definitely give it a test run!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Well first test, not so good, well ROM is excellent, but mobile service on Verizon was iffy at best. I was able to get calls/TXT/MMS, but not mobile data to work reliably enough to use (yet). I am pretty sure I could fix it with enough time, but I need my phone for work/kids. My kids text me all day so I cant drop out of existence and not have cell service or they will worry.

Initial setup didn't find SIM, so I tried again with a full re-flash from scratch (wipe/ETC/flash), same result, so I skipped mobile (RIL) and used WiFi, then setup with WiFi. Once in OS, I checked APNs, checked all mobile settings, reset APNs, changed/checked bands used, nothing helped so I fired up *#4636#*#* (phone info) and opened up the mobile utility. From there I could get mobile up, but not outbound TXT (inbound worked), calls worked both ways, but absolutely no data which was weird in my opinion. I attached two pics showing no SIM during setup, then mobile weirdness in the phone info section (don't worry I blanked IMEI).

Other users, as you test, please let me know if you have better results, or the same mobile issues I faced on Verizon:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Appreciate the input, I'm on Verizon as well and had no issues with setup. I did have October stock flashed to both slots, also did a clean flash
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KingMike67:
I had the exact same issue. I am with Rogers in Canada. I rebooted during setup and everything seemed fine after a reboot (recognized the SIM and recieved 2FA sms). But when I turned WiFi off after setup, I also have no data.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
ROM Update (y)

This update to v4.9.2 adds kernel improvements and the October ASB, see change log(s) below.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Mine was 100% clean, with a fresh factory firmware pushed to both slots prior (fastboot --set-active=a/b) then I did the Google firmware to both slots, and a quick stock setup prior to OS (coral-rq3a.211001.001-factory-c086a4c3). I also fastboot erase userdata before install and also a factory reset before the ROM install (recovery) so it wasnt a firmware base issue.

NOTE, I see you released an update so I will test it in time, I literally just finished reverting to LOS and resetting/restoring everything so I am not able to test the latest today, but I will try for the weekend.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
It's all good, I didn't have data either (and didn't know it, lol) no way I would have left the house if I had known that. Anyways, all fixed now :cowboy:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
oh cool, glad to hear it as well! Thanks, I will def test Scorpio soon enough!!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NYCHitman1:
You're god damn right :P
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KingMike67:
Works perfect! Thanks everyone for their hard work!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Right on, the latest update ROCKs! I figured what the heck, others report success so I took the gamble! I decided to try the latest update (after I just tried and failed with the previous update) then rolled back to LOS and reconfigured everything, so I wasn't quite planning on rebuilding my droid again (twice in the same week). I am REALLY glad I did, good gamble for sure! I am liking this ROM very much so!

This is a decent ROM, stable, OOB safetynet, stable, fast, no bugs, and everything works! WELL DONE! I like this scorpio ROM and may use it for my DD (over LOS), but IDK yet. I will test it out for a few days/weeks, but its definitely a top runner if not the top runner!

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] smr404:
EDIT (2/5/2021):

Hmm, Newflasher just worked for me now and I'm not sure what could have changed between when I was having issues and when it worked. Other people have reported similar, transient issues with Newflasher where it works and then suddenly doesn't, and vice-versa.

I'll update this post if I'm able to isolate the issue from before.

ORIGNIAL POST:

Hello all,

I have a Xperia 5 ii ( XQ-AS62 ).

I've successfully unlocked the bootloader.

I have TWRP 3.4.0 installed, I followed this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-flash-twrp-on-the-xperia-5-ii.4188419/

I have no important data that needs to backed up. I'm free to wipe it (the data in system partition is corrupted anyway).

I would like to install stock Android 10 (or anything else, at this point).

I have downloaded the stock Android 10 firmware via XperiFirm 5.5.0.

The next step SHOULD be to download Newflasher, move 'newflasher.exe' into the folder containing the firmware (the folder containing the *.sin files), put my Xperia 5 ii into flash mode (hold volume down while plugging in USB-C cable), and run newflasher, at which point newflasher would flash any present *.sin files into the appropriate partitions.

I've attempted the above.

However, what I'm experiencing is that, when using Newflasher, I'm met with the error message:

No usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xb00b !

At which point the program exits.

This is not a unique problem, but I've not seen any actual solutions that I can use.

Threads on the topic (for other Xperia devices):

https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-full-wipe-newsflasher-no-usb-device-vid-0x0fce-pid-0xb00b.3931984/

No usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xb00b · Issue #5 · munjeni/newflasher

Hi there, I succsessfully downgraded using newflasher couple of days ago, then I accedentaly updated firmware (big fingers), so I tried downgrading again, but now I get ... Determining available fr...

github.com

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/i32207

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/887sk3

One of those threads mentions using Sony Emma. It looks like you need to be a Sony Partner to register to use that (is that true? Any of you used it before?)

My current system is borked (won't boot) so I don't think I can install/use Magisk.

Again, my goal is to get Android 10 (or anything else) installed.

I still am able to see the device when in fastboot, and TWRP seems fine, so there should be hope right?

I can confirm that my bootloader has remained unlocked.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] flyl0:
xperia companion should do the trick
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] smr404:
I managed to get Newflasher working but never found out why.

Would Xperia Companion still work even if there was no ROM on the device (such as if it were fully wiped)? When I tried to use Xperia Companion (before Newflasher ended up working for me) it didn't seem to recognize my device. I had no ROM loaded at the time (it was fully wiped).
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] barret95:
could you upload the firmware please? Xperifirm doesn't have the old firmwares now :(

EDIT: NVM, i'm looking for the old firmware for the As52

EDIT: I found one.

I followed all instructions from the newflasher thread but my device keeps rebooting and now it says it cannot be trusted (corrupt). any advice?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] smr404:
Are you still having issues? At one point, I got my own device into the state you described. I believe that when I got newflasher working (and again, I don't know why newflasher suddenly decided to work) I was able to flash the firmware and the phone booted with no issue. Is the newflasher tool telling you that it's flashing the images successfully?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] T3chDelicious:

[Huawei Developers] Martin Bieber:
Are you a developer or want to become a developer in the future? If yes then you might have heard about the Google Developer Account and uploading your Apps to Play Store etc.

But do you know that you can become a Developer for Huawei AppGallery as well and not only that, you can also become a Huawei Themes/Wallpaper Designer?

All you have to do is to apply for a Huawei Developer Account, you can do this by following my instructions:

1. First step is to register a Huawei ID.

To do this Go to -> https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/

Click on Register (To register your Huawei ID)

Enter the required information in the Registration Form to create your new Huawei ID.

Click on the Register button once you are done.

That’s it, you have successfully created your Huawei ID

2. Login from your Huawei ID to Huawei Developer Console

If you are done creating your Huawei ID

Go to the following link: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/

Click on “Console”

Enter your Huawei ID on the Login Page (Username & Password)

3. Following options will appear after you login for the first time through Huawei Developer Console:

If you are an individual, you have to click on the blue “Next” button in the Individual Tab. (I have created an individual account for myself therefore I will show you how to do it & skip the Enterprise account creation process)

4. After clicking the “Next” button, you have to provide correct personal information and as proof of your identity you will have to upload some identity verification documents (that includes driving license, passport, identity card, etc).

You have to upload 2 of the document in order to get verified (try to upload your documents that are in English, it will speed up the verification process)

5. Once you are done, accept the “Huawei Developer Privacy Policy” and “Huawei Developer Service Agreement” and after that click the “Submit” button

6. After this process your application will be forwarded for approval, normally it takes about 7 working days to get your application approved. (If you have provided correct personal information and uploaded correct identity verification documents)

7. Once your account is verified, you will receive the following email:

8. You can now login to your Huawei Developer Account and upon login you will see the following screen on Huawei Developer Console

Now you can start developing your Apps for Huawei AppGallery and designing your Themes for Huawei Themes Store.

[Touch CDMA General] lbloo:
I've had my HTC Touch on CDMA/Bell Canada for about half a year now. I love the phone but the battery life just sucks. I can't get through a full day without having to plug in. Where I work and where I live the CDMA signal is weak. My phone is constantly flipping back and forth between X1 and EVDO and voice calls are not very reliable.

I know things like Push mail, GPS...and other data agressive applications will drain the battery, however even when I turn everything off except for the phone itself I can't get through a fully day.

I suspect my phone is constantly busy trying to maintain a connection to the cell network. Does anyone have any tips on how I could help get better battery life?

Leon.
[Touch CDMA General] hotrod101:
It is very hard to provide you with any help when we really don't know what you have installed and running on your phone. Some plugins can drain your battery while they are running - EG - WeatherPanel - Try not to let this program keep running if you have it installed - especially with animated weather icons. Reduce the brightness of your display screen if you can manage that. Make sure that your display is shutting off as well. Keeping the display on will surely drain your battery. Set it to shut off after so many seconds of inactivity. Take a look at your task manager to make sure that you don't have many programs running in the background - and set your task manager to actualy close programs when you tap on the x as it is default setting to just minimize your apps and not close them. If they are all running in the backgroung, you will surely see battery drain.
[Touch CDMA General] lbloo:
With a bare bones configuration my battery would last around 10 hours before I had to plug in. All I had running was basically my phone and some light web surfing.

I've since loaded up my phone with a apps/plug-ins and my battery last about 5 hours now sometimes less. I am running some apps which do things in the background:

-Weather Panel, no animated graphics (Auto update every 6 hours)

-HTC HUB (Auto update every 6 hours)

-Push Email (Zimbra mail, looks like Exchange)

-Pull Email (Gmail) every 30 minutes

Even if I can get all these applications to be much less power hungry, I'll get at most 10 hours. I'm hoping to get multiple days of battery life, not just hours.

While on holiday I turned off the phone, went into Flight mode for a week, but still used GPS on occassion. My batteries then lasted days!

Thanks for your suggestions about those apps.
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
I can almost go more than half a day, which is enough to get me from my house, to work (or wherever I go), and back home. I'm thinking I should get a spare charger for my office though.

But I have running:

FlexMail, with 2 IMAP accounts, and Live account

Palringo or Live Messenger (depends which ROM I'm using :D!)

Some Opera browsing

Occasional GPS

Some MP3's

And the obvious phone calls

Ohh, and when I get bored, some Kevtris!
