Thanks for all your hard work! How stable is EvoX compared to the current RR build? I'm looking to move up to Android 11 finally and want to see if that is my next ROM
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ken442266:
comparing stabilize. RR is better.

Which Rom is better LineageOS 17.1 or RROS?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ken442266:
It depends
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jayram2000:
RROS is more feature rich, but has a higher overhead so it depends on what you value. For my case, RR lasts me plenty long and I love having features so its my go to.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Bellitsch89:
I will have a Lots of Features. For example color theming, satusbar theming and notification bar theming.

I think then is RROS better for me?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] flyl0:
rocking RROS here, it's the better choice for now
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Bellitsch89:

Whilst trying to flash the product.img (Lineage 18.1), I get the following error:

writing 'product_a' 2/2...

Whilst trying to flash product.img (PEP), I also get the following error:

writing 'product_a' 6/6...
FAILED (remote: Operation not permitted)

I have OEM unlocked my device, and I am flashing files via 'fastbood'. Any suggestions?

Edit: I fixed the issue myself, the problem was down to out of date fastboot drivers on Linux. Downloading the latest 'platform-tools' from Google solved the issue.

Thanks for the great work!

I still have a question though, as the two repos(device tree and vendor) are removed, is there any way to create the device tree myself?(I was thinking of utilizing the files Sony provided on openxperiadev but I don't know where to start since I'm pretty much a complete noob to this) Or where should I start if I were to port a Lineage based rom?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] rayman2k1:
Alright, so what I did for the device and vendor repos, is create a sony.xml file under ./local_manifests and set the contents to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github-sony" fetch="https://github.com/" />

<project path="device/sony/edo-comon" name="Mirenk/android_device_sony_edo-common" groups="device" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
<project path="device/sony/pdx206" name="Mirenk/android_device_sony_pdx206" groups="device" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
<project path="vendor/sony/pdx206" name="hellobbn/android_vendor_sony_pdx203" groups="vendor" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
</manifest>

You'll notice that the vendor is coming from a PDX203 repo (which is the Xperia 1 II), so it'll need a good number of modifications to work for our phone (PDX206). I've done a bunch of massaging to it, but have not had much luck grabbing the required files from the phone with extract-files.sh yet...

My next tact is to find all the files that I think it needs (scraping proprietary-files.txt and looking for refs in pdx206-vendor.mk, which is just a copy of pdx203-vendor.mk that i did a sed s/203/206/g on) for a proper build from an adb shell and grab them and place them in the proper dirs by hand. I'll create a fork on my GH and push my mods later on today in case it's of any help to you.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hx64:
I thought about porting the pdx203 device tree since those two devices share a large portion pf hardware but I was doubtful it would be as simple as doing a literal find&substitute from 203 to 206 lol, at least more work has to be done to adapt for the differences between the two, for instance the 120hz display. I really appreciate your answer as it proves the concept is somewhat workable.

Meanwhile I accidentally found the previous maintainer (EggOxygen) when searching on another forum (Coolapk) and had a nice conversation with him and learned the whole edo platform thing. That surely cleared things up.

Anyways I saw the new repo on your GH page. It seemed to be completed and ready for use. Can I compile with this or does I require any furthur modifications? Or is there anything I can do to help improve it? I would be more than happy to contribute, as soom as I get the grasp of all this :D
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] rayman2k1:
Oh, these are not my repos. I just got a link from someone else on these boards, which I used to fill in some of the dirs.

I'll fork and update them as soon as I have something to contribute.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hx64:
Oh I see. I checked yesturday and the repo by Mirenk wasn't there. It's still nice that someone took the effort for us though.

Well I guess I'll just make a test version with it and see what happens

Alright I flashed Pixel Experience and it works well and looks great but I don't have LTE connectivity anymore 😑😭

Please help!
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] flyl0:
Read the post again, for LTE you need to boot to stock firmware before flashing the ROM otherwise it will not work.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] doumstyle:
The post talks about Voice Over LTE, not LTE proper! And what does it actually mean to boot to stock? Boot before the "flash product.img" step?! Please clarify, thank you.

Guten Abend,

Ggibt es eine möglichkeit wie beschrieben mein

Telefon mit TWRP die Stock Rom zu Flashen? Ich möchte nicht auf den ganzen Samsung Service verzichten. Mein ziel ist eine Gerät zu haben was Root hat. Ich habe das ganze mit Magisk gemacht und die Firmware (AP) gepatcht. Funktionierte soweit auch bin ich das gerät neugestartet habe dann war kein Root mehr da bin ich das gerät wieder auf Werkseinstellung zurücksetze. Deshalb wollte ich das mit TWRP Rooten. Ích habe versucht TWRP zu Flashen aber dann ist das gerät nicht hochgefahren und startete automatisch neu nach der Bootloader meldung. Jemand ne Idee oder lösung um Root mit der Stock Rom zu bekommen?

Good evening,

Is there a possibility as described my

Phone with TWRP to flash the Stock Rom? I don't want to do without the whole Samsung service. My goal is to have a device that has root. I did the whole thing with Magisk and patched the firmware (AP). It worked as far as I restarted the device, then there was no longer any root, so I reset the device to the factory settings. That's why I wanted to root that with TWRP. I tried to flash TWRP but then the device did not start up and automatically restarted after the bootloader message. Someone an idea or solution to get root with the stick rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I've been using the Note 20 Ultra since September with no issues, until I briefly tried the first OneUI 3.0 update. I had issues with random unlocking lag, delayed notifications, ugly Always On Display setup, and incompatibility with a few apps. I did a complete factory reset by going back to 2.5, then disabled the software updater, and the phone has been rock solid since. I'm on Verizon and it's the only unlocked 2.5 firmware that fully supports 5G and the also allows turning 5G off in the service menu.

With the release of OneUI 3.1, I'm wondering if any significant improvements were made that would warrant taking the plunge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If the device is serving you well and does what you want it to... at least wait until the issues die down or better quit while you're still ahead.

I'm still on Pie/OneUI 1.0 with no intentions of upgrading because of the usability and performance hit I would take.

Samsung's last update for the Good Lock family even screwed that up with huge goofy dancing icons on its main menu.

Thanks for the creep show Samsung... and no way to undo it. Idiots.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] conbak49:
I bought a couple AT&T LG G8X's for my wife and myself to use on Cricket (AT&T MVNO) after we found out our current phones won't work on Cricket's network as of next February. Unfortunately I've discovered that these phones cannot do OTA updates (w/o the PITA process of getting an AT&T SIM). I'm just wondering if anyone has found a workaround for this. Specifically I'm wondering if I get the phones network unlocked from AT&T if that would then allow us to update direct from LG rather than AT&T. Anyone tried this?

Love the phones, but I've got to be able to update them.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Rushandidan:
I have a lg g8x from AT&T that has been paid off and unlocked by AT&T. What I was told is, to get the updates, I need to be using an AT&T sim and be on their network. I'm not in the US so getting that done is not even possible for me. So far I have not seen a way to get updates without using a AT&T sim.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] conbak49:
I've done a little more research on this and found info that you can use a prepaid Tracfone SIM for AT&T to trigger AT&T to update the phone. I bought one for. 99 and am going to try it as soon as I get the SIM. I believe you have to purchase 1 month of service and the cheapest plan is $15. I'll report back if it works, but I don't know if that'd be an option for you.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Rushandidan:
I have thought about it but with not knowing if that would actually work, I didn't want to try. I like the phone so I'm not willing to sell it so maybe one day I'll test to see if using a sim in a different country would actually work.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] conbak49:
I can confirm that using an activated Tracfone SIM for AT&T works to trip the LG G8X to update. I'm updating from Pie to 10 now on one of the phones I bought and am going to try it on the other shortly. I had to factory reset the phone after activating the SIM and then it let me start downloading updates.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Magichost:
I have the same model as you do. I bought it carrier unlocked and it didn't come with a SIM card. I went in the settings and did the system updates no problem, but I was using Wi-Fi.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] conbak49:
Unfortunately mine was not unlocked or it probably would have updated like yours @Magichost. All's good now though. It's a shame LG is going out of the phone business. I've always liked the quirky phones they've come out with and that they kept SD card and headphone jacks.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] -=ApA=-:
Hello!

Device: Mi 10T Pro

Current ROM: miui_APOLLOEEAGlobal_V12.1.2.0.RJDEUXM_cff0da241e_11.0 (Stable)

Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002

Bootloader: Currently 15hrs left to unlock

If one wants to root, stick with the stock ROM and possibly get OTA updates (looking forward to MIUI 12.5), what is the best method/option for rooting?

A) Patch boot.img with Magisk and flash it to device using fastboot

B) Install TWRP for Mi 10T/10T Pro by Whyle (TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle) by flashing it to BOOT and install Magisk using TWRP

C) Install TWRP for Mi 10T/10T Pro by Whyle (TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle) by flashing it to RECOVERY and install Magisk using TWRP

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] calinorg:
A) is the only choice, and you'll have to UNROOT before ota by flashing stock boot partition. C wouldn't work as we do not yet have complete working twrp.

And never flash recovery to boot partition, you'll brick your device, so B) is out of the question. And fastboot boot recovery.img is not the same as fastboot flash option, so take good care...
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Aldenar:
I just rooted my Mi 10T Pro and yes, A is the way to go. That way, you preserve your stock recovery while still letting yourself root the phone. Everything works, only after an OTA upgrade to Android 11 came, my phone got stuck in a bootloop, recoverable only by wiping doing a factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] calinorg:
You didn't have to factory reset - just have to return to stock before ota - that's required because boot partition is changed by rooting and ota fails... So basically fastest method is flashing stock boot image before ota, making new one with magisk after ota and returning with full root
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] -=ApA=-:
Yes, i understand. Thank you calinorg and Aldenar.

Just so you know, after rooting (even after just unlocking bootloader), your SafetyNet (CTS profile) will fail. Yes, even if you rename your Magisk app, use MagiskHide and MagiskHide Props Config module. Personally it doesn't impact me much, cause even my banking apps are working without issues and my bank does not support NFC payments anyway. Only few apps, including infamous McDonalds app complain and do not run. I guess fast food is alot more sensitive industry than banking then :D . IMHO there is no point in detecting root in apps anyway. If all of your data is in your servers (with tamper checks), manipulating it on device level (like memory manipulation with games) would be pointless. More and more apps and games nowadays are using the same method. I guess McDonalds and all others alike should just fix their apps instead of blocking out rooted users.

More info on SafetyNet CTS profile failure and possible workaround here. Universal SafetyNet Fix Magisk module.

Since i don't have TWRP installed, im not eager to test SafetyNet fix yet, cause several users are reporting bootloops and problems with banking app security mechanisms. I'm guessing that (problematic) Magisk modules can be uninstalled by other means than just TWRP but still, i will wait for the more stable solution.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Aldenar:
I am using that exact Magisk module and it works like a charm - The SafetyNet check got downgraded back to Basic that and together with Magisk Hide, works like a charm!
