Ok so I will just update you with news.

I found everything I wanted from Russian folks at 4pda, simply put, once again Russians come trough when no one else could.

Spoiler content hidden.

I am attaching the archive with all files needed to root the Xperia Z2 with locked bootloader, with instructions inside, do this at your own risk as usual.

Btw since I plan to host these files forever they should be available at all times as long as these hosts dont remove em.

Please dont contact me if they don't work, I only keep them there, I dont have them on my PC

According to my experience and reanalyzing current status, I could give this as a permanent order for moving from Locked Bootloader to having a Magisk rooted ROM.

(Any error might be corrected, if an explanation is given.)

1) Flashtool's Flashmode

Flash D6503_23.5.A.0.575_kernel.ftf (which includes loader.sin and kernel.sin)

2) Backup TA partition with backupTA_v2 by Jens Andersen (XDA: rayman, Twitter: @droidray, GitHub: EnJens)

3) Reset to factory defaults

4) Unlock Bootloader

5) Flashtool's Flashmode

Flash D6503_23.5.A.0.575_kernel.ftf (which includes loader.sin and kernel.sin) again

6) Change recovery with (NEW)_Recovery_for_MM575-291v5 by executing its install.bat

Stay on Stock ROM:

Possible stupid question. If I'm looking to back up the TA partition the install Linage 18.1 without root is flashing - D6503_23.5.A.0.575_kernel.ftf needed?

Can I run backupTA_v2 then follow the LinageOS install process?

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] valtisator:
Hey guys,

the problem looks like this: I bought an used P40 Pro (with a little display damage) with a Huawei ID/FRP lock, which I honestly didn't understand before or even know that this leads to a problem. So I simply can not use that device. I have now done a lot of research and found that probably in my area only Huawei itself can remove the lock, but they MUST unfortunately also repair the display damage, which drives the cost so high that I can buy a new phone right away.

After more research, I found out that you can probably downgrade to the EMUI 10 use the emergancy backup function (in EMUI 11 not available for me) to bypass the problem. However, I can't find a firmware that fits my phone and I can flash it via the dload method. Using the HISuite proxy method, the phone must already be unlocked to be able to flash it.

Now my questions:

1. Is it correct that I can bypass the Huawei ID lock with EMUI 10 (e.g. 10.1.0.176) (many YouTube videos show that)?

2. Where can I find the correct firmware for my device or can I download somehow it from https://www.firmfinder.ml/ or https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-firmware-database/ for the dlog method? How to search actually for that?

3. On http://huawei-firmware.com/ there are the right numbers but its for the P40 Pro+ what I really not understand why the build numbers are same. (Edit: no there are not EMUI 10 versions)

4. Can I use maybe similar firmwares? Instead of C432E3R6P4 it would be C432E8R6P1 or so. Will this even flash or show me only an error.

5. I tried to flash this firmware https://disk.yandex.ru/d/NrGTS46l8zcWtg/Huawei-Honor/Huawei P40 pro Huawei ID but it shows me an error that the version does not fit. Why?

Please, can someone point me to the right direction because I really dont know what to do rigth now.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakashi7593:
You need to have a case for your phone, the one that attaches from the back side.

So, idea is that you can spread the heat that phone creates when recording in higher resolutions by using baking aluminum foil.

Cut out few pieces that are size of your case and cut out the peace for the camera.

Put the foil inside the case and put the phone in the case.

Also you can turn on power saving mode inside settings.

Let's see who wants this ROM

A general Quiz.
[OnePlus 9] winterfoxx:
For whatever reason, no matter what custom rom I flash on my LE2115, they don't detect my sim card. Is there anyone that may have solved this issue?
[OnePlus 9] winterfoxx:
I'ma bump dis, mods lmk if I'm not allowed to do this
[OnePlus 9] LazGunn:
I'm in the same boat with mine. It's with the OTA Android 12 updates though. I can't get it to pick up my sim. I was LE2115 then I had to rollback to Android 11 and now my phone sys it's LE2117. Don't know the difference but also I don't have an option for 5G in my settings. I'm on Verizon network. I think that might be my issue of the sim not showing up. WBU? What network are you on?
[OnePlus 9] winterfoxx:
I'm on Verizon. Turned out a few more factory resets and a couple more Rom reinstalls, it fixed itself. My phone says it's a le2113, even though it's a 2115. May be a Rom issue
[OnePlus 9] XxBigBuckxX:
I keep getting that as well , Its only taken me a few times putting it in and out and just a reboot. That's only on oos 11 tho every time I flash 12 my touchscreen just flat out does not work and I have to use a keyboard and mouse.
[OnePlus 9] XxBigBuckxX:
And well now I am right there no sim ;D
[OnePlus 9] LazGunn:
I keep trying the updates the latest I think C40 was the same issue for me. No data connection. This sucks. A flagship phone but you can't use flagship features. I don't even ham an option in my setting to use 5G when it's in the name OnePlus 9 5G. I loved my OnePlus 8T but I might be heading back over to Google and try out the Pixel 6 if this issue can't be resolved soon.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] winesh:
I need some help flashing the latest weekly miuimix a12. I'm experienced and all, been flashing roms before I could walk haha. But this device is really cracking me up.

I've tried flashing the weekly android 12 miuimix through twrp. Twrp vasishath gives a couldn't recognize zip file and twrp nebrassy gives a twrp crash (back to homescreen twrp) upon swiping the rom installation. I think both twrps don't allow installing android 12 rom. So I unzipped the latest weekly, went to fastboot and run the installer bat. This installed the rom for me.

But I don't think the installation was correctly done, since miuimix comes with magisk on board and magisk wasn't installed.

I also can't manually install magisk. I installed the app, patched the boot, flashed boot a and b, even installed twrp and sideloaded magisk.zip but the magisk app is showing n/a.

What did I do wrong, the miuimix a12 flashing or the patched boot flashing. Does someone know how to install an android 12 rom? This device is giving me a headache...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Greenspoof:
I'm not sure if magisk already support a12. The creator of magisk was working on it, with a lot of change like the no more hide feature, but idk if it already out
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] winesh:
I was on the a12 supported canary build of magisk, but i guess maybe its to much "canary".

Or is installing miuimix a12 like i did, causing some trouble? By not being able tot flash the zip through twrp and installing with fastboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aceyalone:
I'm lost on rooting my F3 on A12 as well. I can't do it through TWRP. I can't do it through adb sideload either. Will patching a boot image (not sure which to use for a global F3) and installing through magisk manager work?

Thanks.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
Hi guys

I put GrapheneOS on this a few days ago. I noticed on using it on the status bar a slight backlight bleed on the top of the screen. Just a white tinge. Have today replaced with Pixel Factory OS (Original) firmware and I no longer seem to get the backlight bleed although that may be because the background is different on Google Stock and not pure black!

I do encounter an issue though which seems to happen with Both GrapheneOS & Google OS and that is the Green Flicker when pressing the power button quickly when the phone is off.

Is this something said to be fixed by google?

If not I am wondering if it may lead to further issues down the line and if I should get it replaced.

If it is quite common for others and google say they will fix it then I may hang onto the device.

What do you reckon?

Cheers folks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
yes the flicker issue is fixed in december update its been noted by google for awhile now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
AMOLED displays have no backlight bleeding as there is no backlighting. Something is causing those pixels to have current and emit light.

I would send it back for a refund... once bitten, twice shy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
No worries i'll get onto the co who sold it today and get a replacement sorted out. Thanks guys for the help
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
I have been told by the website to go into the actual store to arrange a replacement. The only concern I have over this is that this whitish status bar problem only occurs on GrapheneOS. If I go showing them that on GrapheneOS they may not replace it because I have put a custom OS on it. I wondered if there is a way I can somehow make it do it with the Standard Google OS. Or do you think that they would still replace it if I showed them the problem on GrapheneOS? Cheers guys.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Personally, I wouldn't chance it with a custom OS. I would go full stock and even lock the bootloader (which would definitely cause you to factory reset). I'm not a betting kind of person, though, so I try not to take risks.

My first Android phone 11 years ago, I was going to exchange it at the store because the trackball quit working (or it was too sensitive as a button or something), and I was nervous because I had modified my phone - I forgot to restore it to 100% stock before (even the boot screen - and that bootscreen is still on my replacement device I still have). I came up with some excuse before I turned it over to them, and tried to use their computer to help me put the machine back to stock but it was a lot of wasted time - I wasn't successful under pressure, I gave them the phone and they were fine with it, and gave me a new one. And that was a Verizon store, who locks their stuff down so tight. LOL.

You can probably just explain the basics of what happens sometimes, and not even show them. At least, hopefully.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
I'll go in there this weekend and give that a go. Fingers crossed they'll issue replacement. Appreciate the lengthy reply there :D

I've noticed a white tinge, but only on the home screen of the Pixel Launcher with dark backgrounds. Doesn't show up on Nova or any of the other apps. Just assumed it was a purposeful effect.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
They're saying they'd send it back for repair. After thinking about it i am tempted to just make do with what I got. If it doesn't get worse over time (spread more) then i'll just keep it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
good luck in asking the graphene devs about it. if you do, please post the response. I'd donate $10 to charity just to see the chat in their matrix room//

are you sure you're having issues? GrapheneOS is experimental at the moment. just grab one of those testing apps to see if you have any issues with the screen (on stock. any issues like your describing is super rare on stock 6 pro). if not then it's 100% software. I would want to be sure it was a hardware issue before I get an RMA/repair
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
so embarrassing {my browser froze or something). but yeah, just make sure to read my post.^^ I'm returning this pixel because it made me comment again
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
Hey! Thanks for getting back. I went into their support room the other day. Others who have flashed Graphene OS on their devices have reported to not get the white status bar. I only notice it when in a very dark room or with brightness turned on above 50% (Whilst in a darker or dark room) . I do get it with the Stock OS but its only really noticeable with a black wallpaper. With GrapheneOS by default having a black wallpaper, that is what made me notice it. It is the same with stock. So far it has only been present on the home screen. I am going to try a completely different launcher and see if that gets rid of it even using a dark wallpaper. Upon searching on google it seems this issue is quite common but that is with with the pixel 5 (not 6) and others have suggested to use another launcher (Microsoft, Nova and rootless i think was the name?) . I think this is an ok issue to deal with as long as it doesn't interfere with anything or of course get worse over time! What do you reckon? Thanks.

Just an update: I have managed to use Microsoft Launcher (Purely just for testing purposes) using a black wallpaper with it i no longer get the white status bar fade / tinge. It seems the Launcher GrapheneOS & Google Stock use are the issue. This is good news because i THINK (Could be wrong) it confirms it is not a hardware problem.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
umm it's hard to say. does it appear in a screenshot as well? grab a screen testing app. it's probably nothing but I don't know what you're seeing exactly so it's hard to comment. sometimes it won't appear in a screenshot, due to the way the fade is created (by an overlay or in the screen profile etc). maybe a photo or something might help/

and you got out of that matrix chat alive? you didn't feel like you were eaten by wolves? awesome. you got lucky.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MartK87:
Good question. Hadn't thought to screenshot it. At first I thought it was hardware so i took a photo of it with my S8+ and uploaded it onto their GrapheneOS chat but unfortunately the picture never did save. Once I get home I will try and egt a screen shot. What sort of screen testing app can you recommend with the problems described above?

hahaha yes i didn't notice anything in the chat but i was only there for about 5 minutes. What are they like then? Do they take all this stuff too seriously? lol

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeek347:
Hi, I'm new to XDA. I am trying to get a rooted device so I can play around with it and do cool things. After trying 4 different phones and weeks of nonstop research and attempts, I decided to an Amazon Fire 8 Plus (10th Generation). I know how to unlock bootloader using windows 10 and android sdk. The one problem is that I can't enable OEM unlocking. When I tried fastboot flashing unlock anyway, my tablet got stuck in fastboot mode. Basically, what happens is, I turn it on, nothing suspicious there, but after I confirm it when I get the warning message, it INSTANTLY turns back off. Tinkering around with date and time, software updates, rebooting, and toggle developer options did nothing. I even went as far as disabling the lock screen so it doesn't make me enter my pin when I try to turn it on - still nothing! I am very desperate and tired of all this rooting, it would be nice to get some help!

Also, I think I can use this video

to root if I figure out to get to that temp directory command thing the guy entered. I use windows ten, but can't find how to get to that place.

An answer to either question would be much appreciated, thanks!

You will find more accurate information about it in the specific device's forum https://xdaforums.com/c/amazon-fire-hd-8-and-hd-10.4709/ I guess you choose the more problematic OEM to start tinkering with, Amazon is not such good for rooting and modding.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
I found on Reddit posted by u/zakazak:

Due to the help of people over at xda, I manged to figure out two scenarios where a software bug will prevent the phone from ever going into deep sleep. I am posting this here because r/GooglePixel seems to have changed into a territory for haters of rooting and custom ROMs/Kernel. How ever, without root you will probably never figure this out.

So here I am posting this for everyone who is facing massive battery drain (like I did):

ProxyHandler gets stuck after a reboot

Link: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...oxycontroller-wakelock-draining-battery?hl=en

Basically every now and then the "ProxyHandler" will get stuck after a reboot and prevent the phone from ever going into deep sleep.

Fix:

To temporarily fix this go into airplane mode and reboot again.

Disable airplane mode after the reboot and use your phone until the next reboot

When the screen gets stuck at 60Hz

I wasn't able to figure out which service is keeping the device awake. But I did track down that the 60Hz stuck-issue is also prevent the phone to going into deep sleep.

Fix:

Reboot the phone

Other notes regarding testing:

In my testing it doesn't seem like "Naptime" will fix or help with any of the issues. Also in my testing it seems like "Naptime" in general doesn't do anything regarding battery drain / deep sleep.

Deep Sleep means that the phone will save a lot of battery while the screen is off. Usually the drain during deep sleep is 0,2-0,5%/h. Without deep sleep it is somewhere at 2-4%/h.

So far I have been using BBS to track down most of the issues.To use BBS on Android 12:

Install BBS

Grant all permissions

Run in adb: adb shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1

Reboot phone

Everything except kernel wakelocks will work

Hope this helps some people.
