Please try this method: https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1596759 After downgrade you will have option to relock your phone and safetynet should pass. Let me know if it helped.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] cick3:
Thanks, already tried that but it fails to rollback as well :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mrzapa:
Anyone running custom roms on panther or cheetah?

Or are there any roms in development?

Please comment below
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wi1son:
I am not running it...CalyxOS

and GrapheneOS

EvolutionX soon
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Hi, there is a telegram group for our device which has a link to a ROM I believe in early stage, etc. statixos I believe.

@GooglePixel7Updates
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mrzapa:
I used to run graphene I just enjoy rooting more
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Alpha builds from

Spark

Derp

StatiX

LOS
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NepoRood:
Yes, I've been on custom since Oct 22nd. I never stay on stock long...

Is basically an upgraded version of the Pixel 6 line (it uses gs101 trees), so there wasn't a lot to do in order to make stuff work out of the gate. Face unlock took a minute, but fingerprint was spot on and so was the cam. Statix guys worked out the face unlock stuff for the 7 Pro and there's even a newer version of the old face unlock (non Google) that some ROMs are adding

There's a lot of devs that own the Pixel 7, should be some good stuff coming in the next few weeks. Google will be releasing the November ASB today sometime (or should). Custom ROM developers are waiting to see what happens when Google does actually release the next update
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] riz157:
Sounds good do the banking apps work?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
Depends on the banking app
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NepoRood:
As stated, depends on the apps themselves. My bank app works just fine, even with an unlocked boot loader, granted it's not a global bank, lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] riz157:
I'm using Barclays, Santander UK
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wickidmasshole:
can you tell where you find these or PM me if needed please?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
Not sure on Barclays but Santander does not work unless you try 500 different methods and hope one works for a few weeks atleast until Santander patches it again

Good times ahead for Xperias!

Let's see if we also get Stock ROMs again from someone...

There are also some AOSP ROMs on the Way. Ez installs with TWRP for everyone 💪
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Yeah indeed he did it great and i thought you was working on it also but suddenly we hear none from you bro.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuma_Eitarou:
is eally will be normally custom rom for this phone?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
* i didn't own this phone, all of the results are come from a lot of testers

and yeah, custom rom already happened. just in testing
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuma_Eitarou:
okay
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
How to enter recovery when boot up ?

Edit: this step is kinda unclear,

4. fastboot flash boot_(inactive slot) (path to boot.img)

i dunno what todo and get this:

unknown partition blablabla

please help
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Pretty sure you don't have Google's ADB drivers installed
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Oke and where can i get them, any link ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
From this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...re-and-gsi-rom-flashing-without-twrp.4344371/

You should honestly have both the Google Driver's and the Sony Xperia 1 III driver's....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Thanks and h

Thanks and howto ener twrp when boot up, pressing the volume key - or + ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I haven't figured that one out myself, what I have been doing while testing is while connected to PC doing adb reboot recovery
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Oke well some people dont have a pc whole the time but i will figure it out.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well you can try the default method and see if it works https://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-1-iii/recovery-mode/
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
I think you guys understand me well... What must you set here ?

4. fastboot flash boot_(inactive slot) (path to boot.img)

By (inactive slot) and (path to boot.img) ?

I installed all the CORRECT drivers so all is good but i dont get it what i need to type what i explained yet between the (...)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
and fastboot devices should see the phone

Inactive slot is usually b on stock so it's fastboot flash boot_b and path to boot img is where you downloaded TWRP -_-
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Ooh yes, thankzz anyway -___-
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if you put twrp into adb folder and run terminal/cmd/powershell from that folder then you can just do fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img you just need to rename boot.img to twrp.img
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Great this what i exactly looking for and it works and btw i figured also out howto reboot into recovery.

When the device boots up keep pressing volume down

And when you want to reboot to system, tap on slot a and boot to system otherwise it keep stay on the b slot and you will reboot into twrp again, so tap on slot a before you boot into system 🫡💪
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
Legit, thank you! What ROMs are people using with this?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Stock A12 because there is no custom rom yet as you can see in the forum :(
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
No public ones, yes we've tested TWRP with 13 and data won't mount so we need to fix that before we release any 13 ROMs since honestly AOSP Recovery sucks.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
Nice!

Are you skipping Android 12 roms?

Do you have any source code published?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
Warning/caution to others: I followed instructions here but reboot recovery didn't work, seemed to be in some loop. I think screen was off and LEDs were flashing. Then I rebooted which went to android. I meant to reboot to fastboot but it went to recovery, which was still the stock recovery. I reboot to fastbootd from inside recovery and try set active slot which kept failing.

$ fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: a
Finished. Total time: 0.001s
$ fastboot --set-active=b
Setting current slot to 'b' FAILED (remote: 'Unable to set slot')

So i reboot, then phone seems to turn into a brick. pretty much same issue as reported here: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-save-a-black-brick.4426071

I tried hold power on for 2 mins, vol-up + power on for 2 minutes, nothing

vol-up + plug in to PC, vol-down + plug into PC, just flashing LED

Dont think its battery related, it was nearly full charge when I started

Will see if I can get any tools to recognize anything, but just wanted to warn others incase someone else could meet the same fate. Not sure if I did something wrong.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] darkjake:
Try setting the boot option again via fastboot and see if that works.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] darkjake:
Btw a bug with this :

Decrypt does not work with pattern unlock, no idea why but yeah won't accept any pattern on any grid type.

You have me wetting myself in excitement for AOSP 13. Please enable KVM for us VM obsessed types ;-;
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Pretty sure that's a issue on stock... You need to turn off the screen lock but on custom roms decrypt fully works
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
stock rom have weird problem for encryption, i didn't notice this because most testers are using custom rom

for progress, i finally stop using boot partition for recovery. also trying to fix and sort out every problem

it might take some times, due to no device and being rely on testers
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
fastboot does not detect device. the device is currently a brick (flashing red LED when plugged in)

Edit: tried xperia companion on a windows machine... no luck detecting device either 😔
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Like stated in My Threads have modern Android Device fastboot

Go to device Manager and update the Driver Manually to Android Bootloader Device (Select from a List). You need to install OEM Drivers before ofc. Loipuru posted My Guides where you can find all Infos
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
What does "My Threads" and "My Guides" mean? Can you share a link?

I have installed both google USB and sony OEM drivers. But there is no device listed in device manager for me to replace any driver for, because my device is now a dead brick (besides red flashing LED when plug in USB) dead
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
See here

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...re-and-gsi-rom-flashing-without-twrp.4344373/
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
In that Case just use EMMA from Sony. Hold Volume Down while connecting to USB and let it do the magic. Your Device will be back on Stock after that. If that doesn't works you'll need this https://sony.yt/topic/7991-english-...pair-boot-in-sony-xperia-tx-lt29i-smartphone/

Good Luck!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
Ah yes thanks, I followed that one and unfortunately no luck. Btw not that it matters (the guides are the same) but here's the link to this forum and not the related device forum https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...re-and-gsi-rom-flashing-without-twrp.4344371/

sadly I tried EMMA and no device detected 😔 guess I'll need to take apart the device, but the service manual linked in that forum is restricted so I can't download.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] unicastbg:
How do you flash stock ROM with this TWRP? I've done it on Xiaomi Mi devices, but Sony uses a more complex ROM structure. Do I just copy over the extracted by XperiFirm FW?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
You use XperiFirm and NewFlasher or just EMMA(worked better for me once but then it didn't see my device so i just used NewFlasher on Linux and it worked)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Wait there's one more thing you can try. My phone was in this state too(but at least it booted) you can try using NewFlasher on a Linux distro since Linux has all drivers and stuff out of the box
[Sony Xperia 1 III] unicastbg:
Got the same error on Ubuntu.

That's a Windows screenshot, but the text is the same. Any thoughts?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shano56:
Sadly newflasher doesn't work either, thanks for the suggest. I think newflasher needs device in flashmode? (green LED). lsusb and dmesg don't show anything when plugging the phone either.

The only time I can get LED is red flashing LED when plugging into USB (PC, wall charger, etc.). I can't boot the phone, cant switch to fastboot mode nor flashmode. I think it's hard bricked somehow.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ilyshirai:
I was secretly involved in Xperia 1 III (pdx215) development, because my friend wasn't too satisifed with Android 12 stock released by Sony. Nice to see that Sony Xperia 1 III isn't dead yet, good job! Let me know if you need some help, so we could figure out something together!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] unicastbg:
Ok, here's my pain, hope someone can give some ideas.

For whatever reason my phone was soft bricked. I installed TWRP in slot a, as that was the inactive slot. Made a backup of the data partition and reflashed the phone with EMMA.

Installed TWRP again, this time following the guide and installing it to slot a. When running the recovery, it can't decrypt anything, which kind of makes sense when the FW is on slot b. So I also installed the recovery on slot b. Decrypting the storage worked this time. I already put the TWRP backup back as EMMA is formatting the storage.

I did a restore from the TWRP backup and since having custom recovery doesn't allow you to boot the phone (no idea why...) I flashed again the stock boot img.

The phone booted OK, but none of my apps came back. So I wonder how can I make a backup of the current state of the phone, once I set it up, so the next time I brick it, I can restore it. I was using Migrate, which was making TWRP recovery files and was plain easy to restore. Would that still be an option?

I'm not even going Lineage yet, although I'd love to have a proper Bluetooth HID profile, so I can control the music with buttons on the BT device. Something my old 6 year phone is doing without problems...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
What are you even trying to do? Flashing stock only works with NewFlasher/EMMA
[Sony Xperia 1 III] unicastbg:
Well, that's what I'm trying to do :) Flash stock with newflasher. LSposed Magisk module got updated and my phone rebooted. It then went in bootloop. One thing let to the other and what I did next is in my post above. I've lost all apps and customizations and am starting from scratch. Just want to avoid that in the future. Hopes are big for TWRP cause it will make everyone's life easier. I also have one debloating module for TWRP, that is highly customizable. But right now TWRP doesn't do much for me. Maybe I messed up the install, don't know.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Share the link?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
the not booting with TWRP on the same slot is a Sony thing....boot.img must match hence why we said to boot into inactive slot....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] unicastbg:
But do I understand it right, that you therefore can't use TWRP to modify your stock rom?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
talked to the group and nope not with stock....but where looking into it
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
There is an easy solution for that. Flash TWRP to the active slot. Follow My Guides to make a Magisk Boot Image and flash the Magisk Image after using TWRP within TWRP (select image).

To use TWRP use ADB again. You can also change Slots using TWRP or Apps made for that to get around the bootloops. Not sure about the encryption but my Xperia 1 III has decryption no matter on which slot i flash.

We can also trying to fiddle around with that:

Zackptg5 - Android

[Sony Xperia 1 III] darkjake:
You can also use magisk to just swap the slots in stock roms :D
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cheesepuff:
Nice! I been waiting for this! Thank you all for the hard work!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
*some update

most problem involve bricking already fixed (by moving to vendor_boot)

however, there's problem that it can't format data (also mounting problem)

and currently i don't have device (and idk where is miustone go, so i don't have device to fix it myself rn)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] MrTordse:
Is backup options working? And finally we have twrp on this thing thank you.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
from tester: seem like yea, it works

just be careful when flashing this and don't flash any custom rom (or maybe magisk) on xda (due to overwrite boot image)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] einhuman197:
Thanks for your work! I will try this tomorrow on Stock ROM. What should I do to have decryption working? From what I read in this Thread

-Disable Screen Lock(?)

-Backup a/b images (I have stock+magisk)

-Flash twrp to active slot

-reboot recovery

-make TWRP Things (e.g. Nandroid Backup)

-Flash Boot Image Back from within Magisk?

-Profit?

Should this also work on Android 11?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
twrp on inactive slot

encryption only works on same slot (or b slot, wasn't sure. but with some risk, so backup boot.img is good)

most testers tested with a12 / 13 custom rom

new build with free risk isn't works on a slot, and i currently don't have device
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
alright, some update (sorry for missing too long because i don't have device. results is only from testers)

changelog for upcoming build :

- move twrp to vendor_boot (so it'll no longer cause bricking, sry for that)

- now twrp booting on both a and b slots

- android 12 / 13 fully support (but decryption only works on 12)

some issues left and need to sort out, might take a bit more weeks due to no device and only rely on testers

build will release once decryption is working on both stock and 13
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
alright #2 need some testers

flashing instruction will change to

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot_215.img

fastboot reboot recovery

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qXxZkOLl04KactbnXZLFRMTJ-UU9Mrzx?usp=share_link

wanted to made sure that A slot will properly boot before release

DO NOT, EVER FLASHING WITH OLD LINEAGE OS ROM
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Alex2008Ex:
Hey @loipuru

I'm trying to port TWRP for 1 IV and my touchscreen does not work. I see that in your tree you have the touch module in prebuilt so I took the one for my device in sodp and made the changes so that it gets included in /vendor/firmware but still does not work.

I guess you maybe had a problem like this so by any chances do you know how to fix that?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
if you add sony driver as built in (on kernel)

add

on init
write /sys/devices/virtual/sec/tsp/after_work 1

on init.recovery.qcom.rc

(edit: touch module firmware is for specific model, but you still need touch module (sec_touchscren) from modules/lib/1.1 or built in as module in kernel source)

some ref : https://github.com/lolipuru/kernel_sony_sm8350/commit/32cc604b26f61e0c1e655a5827b219449ce6144d
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Alex2008Ex:
Thanks! I will try that.

About touch module, there is another one for 1 IV sonyxperiadev github

Also, on the 1 IV there is a separate boot and recovery which is different from 1 III so no recovery kernel

Edit : I don't see sec_touchscren in modules/lib/1.1
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
if generate via twrpdtgen, ofc there's more thing you'll need to do (especially if using kernel header 4 which having multiple ramdisks)

try looking basic partition via getvar all on fastboot, it'll help you a little bit

i might do bringup without device, like i do on previous device (mk 2 - 3 twrp)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Alex2008Ex:
I'm not using twrpdtgen I made a device tree based on Asus SM8450 devices which is very similar. Adb works, decryption seems to work (only shows pattern to unlock for now because touch does not work), brightness work and that's all I could try.

If you want to help me that would be a pleasure and also I have the device so I can test myself.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] einhuman197:
Thanks for your effort! I flashed it to my Android 11 installation XQ-BC52, upon rebooting the Bootloader throws me the error

"your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot. Your device will be powered off in 5 Seconds."

Is this my fault? If it's the fault of my A11 installation? If yes, would it be possible you can provide me with a A11 build? The reason I didn't upgrade yet is because I want a fully functioning Nandroid Backup to come back to. Thanks in advance!

I reflashed Stock A11 vendor_boot and it's working flawless again.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
Seem like it's working on a12 fw (since both kenrel source and blobs are from a12 fw or maybe slot change problem still exist.)

Not your fault, but dunno that I can bring you a11 build if it's really fw problem, because I might need to bring a11 kernel source myself
[Sony Xperia 1 III] einhuman197:
I tried the Boot Image from Post #1 in this Thread, this one didn't throw me an corruption error and I was able to boot into TWRP, but decryption failed. I was providing the right password and flashed to active slot. I could provide some logs if you need them.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
vendor_boot right?, send me recovery.log. i might missing some flag for that
[Sony Xperia 1 III] einhuman197:
No, I tried the Build in original Post from November that I flashed to boot_a. Do you need the log from this one or do you have a newer Build that should work?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
edit: i just read msg, for now no new build yet (wait until my testers are available again, i don't have device)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Akiziname:
I have pdx215, xq-bc72

flash the boot.img to active slot in #1 boot, it won't boot the system and keeps rebooting

Now using 61.1.A.11.107 for china , android 12

Can I try this?

Pardon me, my English is not very good
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
i was planning to rebase recovery tree, right now i really lacking (very active) tester or device

if i can get one of them somehow it'll be quicker to rebase

also answer is : no, boot.img one is really risky to brick
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cheesepuff:
I am eager to try this, but I'm still a bit nervous. Any updates? I really want TWRP, but I haven't really seen anyone show that it works.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
no testers, and rebasing still wip.

pretty hard for me right now
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cheesepuff:
thank you for your hard work either way.

If this wasn't my daily driver I'd happily be a beta tester.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Am2cute:
excuse me, Is there any plan to fix the decryption data function?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
need active tester or someone donating money or device for me

i did rebuild device tree from scratch, but lack of tester right now
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Am2cute:
What should the tester do? Maybe you can leave the reqiurement and methoed to join the test in the post.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
just testing twrp, i'll build custom rom for you also.

only requirement is you can accept the risk, and / or 1 iii isn't your main device

if you can then reply me again, or pm me via telegram (instantnoodle)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Am2cute:
test twrp is ok, but it's a little diffcult for me to flash custom rom at this moment. since there's a problem with my phone. I have update from android 11 to 13 by using newflasher, but when i flash the Magisk fixed boot.img, it will pause at the "XPERIA" logo then reboot，I have tried to flash the unfixed boot.img ,but it doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
pm me via telegram then (instantnoodle) i'll send link to public group also
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Am2cute:
ok, i have tried but it seems that i can't send message to you before you agree the friend add request.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
send me your telegram via pm, i'll pm you later
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZellZoy:
Spoiler content hidden.

I then ran

fastboot reboot recovery

which seemed to reboot my phone into the regular OS rather than recovery mode.

If I attempt to reboot into recovery again, I seem to get the stock recovery rather than TWRP

Also can you please explain the last line:

Once you're done head to the reboot menu and change to the other slot and reboot back to system

I'm not sure what that means.

Thanks for the guide.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Your System and Stock Recovery are on one Slot and TWRP is on the other Slot...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZellZoy:
Ok so how to I boot to twrp?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
for now,

for now, i wasn't recommend to use my twrp yet (i was working on new one with am2cute being my quite active tester right now

trying to made it works with android 13 firmware and rebase tree for vendor_boot
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZellZoy:
Err I see. Does that mean I'm not getting root on it? Kinda bought the phone assuming I could based on the bootloader unlock option and the various threads here...
