[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
that is a lot more options, can I dirty flash it without wiping data?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
It's always recommended to clean flash :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
I have a lot of data, can I just boot into PixelOS recovery and dirty flash?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
I did it. I dumped the payload.bin file from the AwakenOS's 2.7 zip file, and fastboot'ed each of its img files to their correspondent partitions (except vbmeta.img and userdata.img). No issues, at all!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
can I do the same in recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
I didn't use the included recovery. AsI posted, I unzipped the AwakenOS zip file, dumped the payload.bin file which is inside it and used fastboot commands to flash each img file to my phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
you didn't flash userdata and vbmeta, right?

also, how did you do to get Magisk back up and running?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
Prior to flashing the img files I patched the boot.img file through the magisk app and used the magisk-patched img file to flash it, instead of the boot img file. Then, when the phone was up and running, as the Magisk app was already there and configured, all was working!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
ahem, im gonna do the same thing youve done, what steps can I do to roll back to pixelOS if anything breaks? also, did u lose any data?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
You could do the same thing to go back to PixelOS. Remember to patch the boot.img file whilst having Magisk running.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
I followed your steps, and now SafetyNet is passed! I can finally watch some Netflix, thank you for hanging!

Nope.. my phone nonroot..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zackkiara2013:
how to install magisk? coz i have install magisk manager but no magisk.. I try go to recovery but don't have install command
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
I have dumped the AwakenOS boot.img file and attached it below. Save it anywhere on your phone. Open theI Magisk app, and on its main screen, click on Install, click the box for patching the the boot file. Select the file you saved, copy the magisk_patched....img from /storage/emulated/0/Download to your PC, put your phone in bootloader mode (e.g. adb reboot bootloader), and once the blue led is on, enter fastboot flash boot magis_patched....img. After it's finished, reboot your phone. Magisk should show as installed now.

Edit: attached files are not being saved to my post. Trying again, now with the latest (2.10) boot image.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zackkiara2013:
Sorry bro..I can't find attached file?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sutorisuna555:
What's your phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rachsutha:
xz2 I answered in the xz2 group, so I have to use xz2.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sutorisuna555:
Well, sorry. Btw, where do you get that rom? Is it recommended for gaming and multitasking?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rachsutha:
The developer has a limited number of users, so you should ask the developer yourself. I can't send it to you Developers are people who create awaken.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sutorisuna555:
The developer awaken os? You mean it is 'Hibikase'?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rachsutha:
yes
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sutorisuna555:
It has options in optimization when i add magnetar module on my xz2. Do you know something about this?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rachsutha:
The magnetar module is not required for me. Because if you play games, you use game space. And if you want to save battery Just you choose the right ROM. is enough too So I don't install unnecessary modules. empty heavy
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] osa355:
Which smartphone model did you choose from the SparkOS website to install on the XZ2 rom SparkOS ??
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
hey, can I dirty flash it after dirty flashing it with the fastboot method? I need a reply so please someone be fast :)

EDIT: I couldn't get payload dumper to run so I'm asking if I can flash from recovery
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
I dumped the AwakenOS 2.8b zip's payload.bin file and dirty-fastboot'ed the img files to their correspondent partitions. No problems, at all!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
well can I flash from recovery after doing that for 2.7? I can't run payload dumper
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
The official instructions say that you should unzip the ROM file and double-click on the flash.bat file, with your phone in download (fastboot) mode connected to your PC. I just didn't do it that way.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
well I rebooted to recovery and flashed it normally, it worked!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
hey, I flashed the Sony camera magisk module a while back and it used to work. But now after upgrading to the latest version of Magisk it just crashes but i can see the camera working, any fixes or I need to downgrade Magisk version?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
For me it keeps working. I'm running the latest Magisk Delta (Canary version). Zygisk enabled, Magsik Hide disabled, Deny list properly configured. Latest Shamiko and USNF modules also play their parts.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
updated to to awakenOS 2.9, runs perfectly. really really thank you for this job!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
Hi, thanks for your ROM firstly, it works like a charm (even on a heavily used device)! There are two small issues now on awaken 2.9. One issue is that NFC doesn't work. It shows a blank screen there with no options. The other one is that Bluetooth headphones cannot connect with LDAC codec (WF-1000XM3, Sony's new headphones support LDAC). Would you like to take a look on them?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
About NFC, what kind of device? Global or Jp?

Will look at Bluetooth later
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
Mine is an H8296 (can use international ROMs and NFC okay before). Thanks for your effort!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Carljaynp03:
the support for BLUETOOTH controls, for example the PS4 is not compatible, I pair it and it is still not recognized
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Carljaynp03:
What happens because there is no compatibility? Android 12 already supports native compatibility for PS4 and Xbox controllers
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
hey, is there a chance we get the dynamic vibration feature working? ik it's quite gimmicky but I like it
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Hello guys. this update I add support for xz2 akari japanese model. in this version if you have japanese model, you can enable NFC. For this variant of rom, you can get it from my tele ch and download it from there

Now, AWAKEN!!​
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Check new update. and please report it here
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
I'm not sure at the moment.. sorry
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
I have no PS4 controller, so I can't test
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
Installed Stellar version on my XZ2 (H8296 variant), but NFC still can't be turned on.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SurfRodder:
Does this include VoLTE support already cooked into Lineage as of 18.1? I did a "search thread" for appropriate terms and did not see anything so I apologize in advance if asked/answered already. (havent been on XDA for a few years and search function is pretty terrible now so certainly possible its here somewhere)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
which variant is it? is it the normal variant or the AU/JP version?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
yes. voLTE is supported and is enabled by default.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SurfRodder:
Is there a link for this? I am D/L cherish zip just to see if its included there, but dont see specific twrp in that build thread either...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
you can use MartinX3's build of TWRP.

here's the link : https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-android-10-11-stock-sodp-xz2-c-p-3-twrp-3-4-0-0-unofficial.4074305/
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
It's the one which comes with 6GB of RAM. It's originally for the HK market.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
interesting. I have the H8266 which is the 4GB one, NFC works like a charm, I don't see any differences between the H8266 and the H8296 besides the RAM amount
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Your model got NFC working in this version?. I mean in 2.10 Stellar
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Your phone is xz2 or xz2p ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
XZ2
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
uhm i feel like this is illegal, but NFC was working even before 2.10 :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
So if you have time, send me the log cat.

Also what version previously it worked?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
pretty much all versions I installed, the first one I installed was 2.6

P.S: NFC didn't work while I was on PixelOS
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SurfRodder:
Pefect, thanks! Will flash when I get home.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
As a fellow H8296 user, I can say that this is an enlarged RAM variant of the international dual-SIM model (H8266). An easy way to recognise it is that the variant has a model number like the int'l ones (H82XX) instead of the Japanese ones.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
then I can't really see why he couldn't get NFC to work while I got it to work since the beginning
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
OK mate this is pretty interesting. I updated to Awaken 2.10, got into the system, turn on NFC via the quick settings toggle, and it seems it doesn't work. Then I long pressed it, it gave me an empty option menu, I quit, and the NFC icon showed up. Connecting with my headphones with NFC works like a charm.

It bloody works!

Then I turned NFC off, long pressed the toggle, quit the menu, nothing happened. Short pressed the toggle again, then gave it a long press (just like former), it turned on.

Now I don't know what caused it, could be a bug in the settings app or SystemUI?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
See my newest post. It needs some tricks but it works. Maybe the bug is not affiliated with NFC itself.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Your model same as @casouzaj ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
Yup. Also make sure you have checked my updated post. The bug seemed... extremely interesting.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
well, for me there is not bug. NFC does take a little while to turn on and I think this is what gave you the assumption of a bug. it just takes like 20 seconds to turn on
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samduan:
Also to @hibikase : I've tested NFC today again with a single short press on the toggle. NFC turned on after 5 or 6 secs after the press.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
Please make one for H8216 please…
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
what do you mean make one for h8216
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
I think I already said that I added new support for Japanese model. Might you can read it the thread carefully
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
Thanks, however the only available flashable firmware for japan sov37 is android 9.. the android 10 is only available though OTA wt locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
You can just flash it as far you're bootloader unlocked. Have you tried?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
You don't need android 10 actually. Just clean flash is enough
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
yes my bootloader is unlocked, btw I was able to boot it on SOV37 converted to global.. using TWRP. , I flashed the Global version because the Japanese version is not allowing to install. Do you happen to have a TWRP for Japanese versions?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
You can use any twrp that compatible to xz2.,, Even using lineage os recovery
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
Everytime I flash the TWRP with SOV37 I cannot touch anything on the recovery that’s why I can’t proceed to the installation.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
This is the error I’m getting “package is for product akari_kddi but expected akari.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
Use the volume buttons to navigate, then the power button to select.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kylezkie051:
It works now, by the way I noticed that the front camera keeps on flickering, I’ve also experienced that in Pixel OS.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Forget to change meta..,
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
hey, I want to flash sparkOS without wiping userdata, can I just flash from recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
I'm not sure. But please backup your data first. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
Regarding SparkOS for Akari (Global), its payload.bin is some 460MB smaller than that file on AwakenOS 2.10. It`s a considerable ammount. I wonder what might be missing? Gapps, perhaps?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
Yes it's vanilla build. I recommended you to flash zip directly. Then reboot to other slot and flash gapps
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
I did a dirty flash over AwakenOS 2.10, but Play Services crashed all the time. for what a lot of reports of other Google apps which rely on Play Services. Anyway, I'm back to Awaken.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
You need flashed gapps.

And since youre move different rom, it's recommended to clean flash
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
How come NFC won't even turn itself on (its settings are empty) in my XZ2, but it's working flawlessly in a XZ3 in the house, also running AwakenOS 2.10?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SurfRodder:
So, I've been having a hell of a time getting this going coming from a Lineage 19.1 nightly build from early this month.

I tried going back to stock android, but NONE of the flash methods (Flashtool/newflasher/emma) are working....even after multiple driver reloads, etc.

Even TWRP temp boot (MarvinX3 "stock" Android 10 zip file) fails to be able to read from SD or internal storage.

Does anyone else have any ideas on how to proceed?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
I think because of downgrade spl so you failed to flash.

Try unpack the payload bin to img and flash it using fastboot. And don't forget to backup+clean flash.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
here's the thing. nothing happened to my XZ2(H8266). I don't think there's a major difference between your phone models and mine. maybe because I didn't use the fastboot method?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
This and the related XZ3 threads have been marked EOL, but I have not seen any A13 ROMs to replace them. What's next?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hichem2006:
there's probably some Android 13 build being...built. and I think if it needs OEM binaires then Sony didn't release them for Android 13 yet
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] casouzaj:
Yes, I'm aware, but with that ROM, neither my XZ2 nor my XZ3 are able to boot to system after installation. Waiting for the unofficial AwakenOS 3.0 Triton build.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hibikase:
@Dayes working on Android 13 Lineup. Also dtrunk90 working on Lineage 20. They're under development. Just wait or use aosp sodp instead.

I think people busy everyday including me. Also server is expensive enough,, I'm not too much dedicated for develop rom, as far it's enough for me, it's fine.

You can discuss on tele group for more updated information about development.

How can I do that? I havent played with my ppc for awhile, so I forget all the 'rules.' Can I simply just take the diamond ROMS and put them on my treo? Or will the resolutions and whatnot be all messed up? Can someone give me a step by step or at least point me in the right direction (files?) thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fallingup:
cant do it. if you want features of the diamond on the 750v, you would have to start with a 750v rom, and then port the features you want, and im gonna tell you right now: not a lot will work ported from a 640x480 screen to a 240x240 screen.
