[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] MegaSharkXDA:
So… I bricked my Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra while trying to install TWRP 3.5.2. Bootloader is unlocked.

Here’s what the phone doesn’t do:

· Doesn’t turn on

· Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed

· Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed for a long time

· Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol down is pressed for a long time

· Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol up is pressed for a long time

· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a wall charger

· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC

· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol up pressed

· Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol down pressed

But here’s what it still does, so at least there’s still hope it may resurrect from the dead:

· It is recognized when connected to a PC as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”

· It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol down pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”

· It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol up pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK” but only for a few seconds, and then it disconnects. So at the very least the device “knows” it should be doing something differently when connected with vol up pressed

So it does seem to still hold a chance.

Can you help me out? Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] JohnnySpoke:
Are you still struggling?

I often run into this behaviour (I have an XA2 H3113).

Things that work for me.

1. Hold down the three buttons Power+camera+volume_up at the same time without the USB cable plugged in and keep it held, it has taken 30 seconds sometimes to force the reboot.

2. You also say you can 'see' your device on your PC, but don't give much more than that - I am using Linux to manage my phone so I suspect this isn't what you are doing based on your description, anyway you can still download the 'SDK' for windows and try to run 'adb' commands

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

In my Linux case, assuming that I can see my phone

adb devices

You can then force a reboot to the 'recovery' partition to factory reset everything.

adb reboot recovery.

Failing all that I would consider making sure that there is a charge on your battery and that the cable you are using is good enough (some of my USB C cable that I have lying about have proven unreliable when connnecting and/or charging my phone - they are not all the same!), finally I have also found on my Dell Laptop that the USB port that I connect to matters! I have 3 of them on the motherboard and I have found, for no reason that I have bothered to research, that if I use the two on the right-hand side of the laptop, then I sometimes can run adb commands and sometimes I cannot but if I use the one on the left hand side (with the same cables) it never fails.

Your description about being recognised but only for a few seconds does sound like the PC's Cable/ USB connection is unreliable or that you are running at nearly zero battery (you also said you get no lights which IS unusual). If you haven't already, just let the thing charge for an hour or so and see if it really is just a symptom of a low power in the battery.

Sorry that you are having these problems. I often think I have bricked my XA2 (I fiddle about with thing all the time) and have had numerous issues of LineageOS spinning on boot or not being able to get past the Sony flash screen, but usually one of the two things above gets me out of it and into the 'factory reset' mode and that always seems to work.

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] MegaSharkXDA:
Hi there! Still struggling.

1. Nothing happens when Power + Vol up + Camera buttons are pressed for 45 seconds without the USB cable plugged in

2. adb commands are not working (they were up until the failed TWRP installation)

3. Battery was charged to 94% when the failed TWRP installation occurred (I see no way of making sure it is now charged). The cable and USB port I’m using are the exact same I was using during the failed TWRP installation.

4. Being recognized only for a few seconds is a characteristic of the mode I’m trying to enter, thus not cable/USB connection related

5. I have left the phone charging for a full night (and no, the charging LED didn’t show up)

Thanks

Hi guys, just got my Xperia XA2 from China after 2.5 months wait. Is a good phone. But did a giagantic software update over Wi-fi and after tapping Restart my new phone is fried. I tried ALL the steps in the first message above of this thread. Need to know should I get a replacement or is this going to happen again so should go for a different phone? Thanks.

Finally android 11 for a6000 thank you
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] K1dney:
Wow, I thought the previous version (17.1) is the last one for this device.

I am really happy I was wrong!

Thank you so much for your work acroreiser and dev_harsh1998. Also thanks to everyone who is credited!
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pratham.das.56@gmail.com:
First of all thanks to all the Devs who have kept this device still alive by providing it with those up to date roms...

Well I am using this rom for last 3 days i must say its super smooth apps are opening blazing fast, all major functions are working properly and it can be used as a daily driver for sure...

Now I encounter one bug so far its in Camera Go app the thing is when i change the storage location to SD card and start video recording than it suddenly freezes after some seconds by saying "Something went wrong " than i need to restart the app for using it again, by the way when i change the storage location back to internal than video recording is working fine so its really not bothering me that much....

There is one more thing well its not a bug its just my observation with this rom that during charging its heat up more than expected even when its charging at 90% to 100% slot which i never experience with any other roms.

All in all still its worth a shot everything's working fine, thanks to the devs again...
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Teo Flo:
The problem is in the application itself. in the firmware the application is of the old version and there should be no problems with the video. But it is automatically updated to the latest version in the Playmarket and there is a problem. Remove the app update and it will work as expected.
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pratham.das.56@gmail.com:
Thanks for the info, I will try that for sure...
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] santoshwins:
Hey devs,

Thanks for this brand new ROM! I use this phone as a daily driver and wanted your advice on this version or the 17.1 version. Which one is likely to be maintained in the future? I understand that 17.1 is stable but will it still get more updates or security patches or should I go ahead with this 18.1 version, please?

Thank you for your help and also for keeping this phone alive in 2021.

Cheers,

S
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] acroreiser:
Currently Lineage OS 18.1 is maintained.

Both 17.1 and 18.1 is based on my Go device tree (forked from @dev_harsh1998 lineage-16.0 tree) but lineage-17.1 branch is not maintained since february 2021.

I don't know is @twain55 can maintain 17.1 builds for a long time (better ask him).

Lineage OS 18.1 is pretty stable for daily usage by user reports and my experience with a6010 (I don't have a6000 and primarily maintaining a6010 with merging stable changes to a6000 tree).
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zack316:
Can a dirty flash be done from 17.1 ?
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] acroreiser:
Of course no.
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] acroreiser:

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Wreck-king:
Needs Undervolting.

Even the standby drain is around 600ma.

Also I've bought a new battery for this, even that cannot survive more than an hour of SOT.

Please optimised the kernel or just undervolt it a bit.

Also only one of the back speaker is working,

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] asratxda:
Installed the latest build. Thank you. Great work 👍. Everything is working very good. Battery life is extremely good. Got 7-8 hours full HD youtube playback on 4g. Go version is working very smoothly ( previously was using android 5.0 stock )

...

I also have another device 10or.E which has similar SoC SD430. Can you tell me step by step instructions. Kernel source is available. ( I read about building but did not clearly understand various terms like vendor etc... Tried to create initial .mk files for the board but errors at luch command itself )
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Pravaig:
I'm trying to update it from android 5.5.2, unable to access TWRP in recovery, boot flashed TWRP, then flashed migration, and then the ROM, still stuck on the lineage boot logo for the last 38 mins, ik I'm jumping too high, any ideas to ease my jump. Ill update if it gets over the boot logo.

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] acroreiser:
This ROM is for Lenovo A6000, not A6010.
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Good Day, May I ask what's the latest build is? Is it "lineage-18.1-20210905-UNOFFICIAL-a6000-signed.zip"? Thank you!
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaitou1412:
Hi, thank you for great works! I installed the latest build, from previously lollypop stock a6000 plus

Flash latest recovery (if needed), based on TWRP >= 3.2

Reboot to recovery

Wipe /cache and /data. If your /data is formatted in f2fs, format it in ext4, otherwise OS will not boot.

Flash the rom

Flash Gapps (Gapps for Android Go or OpenGapps ARM/Android 11/pico or nano)

Flash Magisk (also if needed)

Reboot to ROM

In Installation steps, i include flashing hex patch after number 3, I don't know if it actually is necessary (?)

And i have proble with sim card in this os, because it read as no signal,

switching on and off airplane mode, sometimes can make mobile data works, but in phone, it still read my simcard as no signal. I've tried my simcard in other phone, it actually works, what can I do to get the solution?
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] asratxda:
Tap to wake up works on this rom. Install smart pack kernel manager by sunilpaulmathew ( a variant of kernel adiutor ) from fdroid app and the app will show an option for tap to wake up screen, just enable it. Seems that kernel supports tap to wake up. 👍
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaitou1412:
After trying many times using variety of methods, somehow I managed to overcome the signal Issue, Alhamdulillaah..
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaitou1412:
After some times, I faced the issue of not able to connect to any Wif with/without password.

I had this issue previously, so this is not my first time having this issue.

After searching and trying for solution, Alhamdulillaah I found the culprit and the solution.

The culprit is there is no WifiConfigStore.xml file in /data/misc/wifi/

So the solution I try is to disable wifi, then

import WifiConfigStore.xml file from other phone, and put it in /data/misc/wifi/ then

chown system:system /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml

then reboot

no need to reflash ROM, Alhamdulillaah

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] saisannihith:
damn nice. how did you extract the boot.img file?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] vutruonghainam:
TWRP Recovery Installation:

You should turn off Antivirus software

1. Before starting the process, the bootloader must be unlocked (bootloader unlock)

2. Install the Xiaomi USB drivers

3. Settings - Additional settings - Enable Usb debugging from the developer options.

4. Download the attached files.

5. Extract it from zip and copy it to C: directory (zip password: vutruonghainam)

6. Double click the file "残 芯 专用 TWRPRecovery 刷 入 工具 Win 版 V2.0 " in 1 file.

7. Select file TWRP you moved to C like step 1 in picture below.

8. Turn off your phone and put it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume down and power keys.

9. Connect your phone in fastboot mode to your computer.

10. Click on the flash button marked like step 2 in picture below.

11. Your phone will boot up in TWRP.

P/s: This TWRP is a one-time install. So after you have exiting TWRP, it will return to the original recovery. To make TWRP permanent, change the language to English from the language selection, you can use the TWRP / Advanced / Onekey Inject TWRP option.

Lmao smell some surprise 🤣

But who cares... flashing lmao (want to install OTA 12.5.50 lmao)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] avetny:
Exactly...im also interesting in that

You don't want to install 12.5.5 it's full of bugs

Haha there is no bugs

Yes there is.

You can't click on colour scheme setting , it crashes

There's no google certification

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] avetny:
damn thank you 🙌
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] shaman91:
Of course not, otherwise, why is such a complex instruction?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RheinPirat:
You can rescan it... same result..

But why should be an exe needed for TWRP? I never saw an official TWRP release which used an exe.

I think we should wait for a official release from TeamWin. This is fishy
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Mauk80:
Honestly the majority of it is just getting you ready to be able to fastboot, unlock bootloader etc and the last two steps is flashing the recovery with this tool that I can read/understand.

I'm pretty sure you can just flash it direct with fastboot, i'm tempted to just fastboot boot recovery recovery.img and see what happens.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
Damn nobody took the leap to try?? 😂😂 Still discussing about it?

It's just we don't have recovery roms otherwise I had tried already.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RheinPirat:
Maybe not every one use a *.exe from an unknown source to install TWRP? Like I said before, for all my phones in the past, there was NEVER a *.exe need for TWRP. Think about it. Or maybe you are a professional who can reverse engineer the exe and let us know what the exe really does... do u?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
I have run the exe and translated it with Google lens.

To me its just an AIO tool to easily flash Twrp.... Just like there is xiaomitool V2.

Run it on a virtual machine and you are fine I guess....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chicko24:
I think its a little bit as ODIN by Samsung
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
Looks dodgy as hell this
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] shaman91:
This device has a / b sections. There is somewhat differently organized memory markup. It is impossible to flash old ways. FastBoot Flash Recovery Recovery.img does not work and will not work.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Maybe not, but on my past a/b devices it was no problem to first fastboot boot into recovery and then flash the recovery from within the booted one...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] shaman91:
Why does the author make a very difficult way if there is a simple and famous old one?

Probably because old does not work!

FastBoot Flash Recovery does not work

I have this device. I checked. Old way does not work.

Need Onekey Inject.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Thanks, understood... I am thankful for Devs coming up with tools to aid us, I just want to understand the need for using a Windows exe from an unknown source....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] shaman91:
Sorry, but without it will not work for the first time.

Future updates can be done through TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Worked fine on mine, no reported security issues with the version I downloaded and didn't turn off my antivirus when extracted.

How do you install magisk? fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
Think so. Not sure sorry.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Yes, patch boot.img via Magisk and flash via fastboot. If you do so before installation of an update you can also use the install batch if you replace the standard boot.img with the Magisk-patched one..

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RheinPirat:
Pay attention. There is no way to remove TWRP on 11 Ultra. recovery.img is missing in all ROMs (even in payload.bin).

Or does have someone the stock recovery for 12.5.4?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] vutruonghainam:
You can go back with original recovery from china rom
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
There is no recovery.img on A/B devices like the Mi11U ! Recovery is stored as part of boot.img, you can just flash original boot.img or rerun the installation script and TWRP is gone !
