[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Chippa_a:
New build is available!

October 2023 security patches

VoLTE/VoWiFi support*

Touchscreen support for LineageOS recovery

LED support in offline charger and recovery modes

Mass blobs update

LineageOS upstream updates and fixes

* The settings are available to everyone, but this doesn't mean all works. If one of these features worked for you in stock, now it should work here. Therefore, please make sure about that... in case when support is detected, stock usually requests a reboot to install the appropriate modem firmware (this is mandatory). If this is your case, then please confirm if something is working in this build.

You can install the new build manually or using the built-in Updater app

Although the update method is available, I would like to advise to perform a clean installation because really a lot of changes have been made. Don't forget to make a backup in any case.

Reminder:

UPD: It looks like there is an issue with RIL for dual sim devices, please refrain from updating to this build if your device is DS.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SoNyek:
... thx Chippa. New Update Version is running very good. Did Flash it some hours ago. Have seen that 'twrp 12_2' is very important for a smooth running lineage. Tried it first with 12_1again and there were issues. So, Bad things were yesterday, also Norton vpn is running again! Will try seed vault now for Backup, in last Version it has failures. Thank you so much for these Updates....

.

.

.

Nope, SEEDVAULT isnt running, it fails again. Not able to create a new seed. Alignment fails and fails. But it creates hundrets of folders in backup folder on sdcard with 1Byte metadata.

It's not that big problem.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 57op:
i'm so impressed with your work :)

you've even implemented battery charge control, with the ability to limit charging level. i would've loved that feature years ago !
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SoNyek:
Me too, only way was installing this feature via magisk... No need to install magisk again. Im happy with this build without ROOT access for daily use. Love it.

[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yeti87:
Thank you so much.

I was wondering if anyone could help.

I had to install everything from scratch and do a fresh install because the TWRP recovery would just hang and not function. I have had the same issue in the past. Is this because of the limited storage on the device?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SoNyek:
I had the same issue. TWRP didnt find SD CARD. Tried it several times. In lineage, manual update didnt work, hung up at 20% and lineage tuned off phone emidiately. But that was the lucky moment! Rebooted directly into TWRP after that Automatic power off. TWRP started without unlocking data screen - in standard settings. Hung in sd-card manually and did start a backup of data. Data unlocking screen appeared. Backup successful. Sd-card readable. Directly after Backup flashing of the update zip did run without any problems. Used erasing Dalvic and Cache. Reboot into system. All fine!!

Update is great, especially the Sound enhancement. Top! thank you very much for that.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ron.jeremy:
Hello @Chippa_a, thank you very much for the updated version, I am using it in my "daily" phone, and one of the few things that bothered me was the audio loss. Now I can confirm, that at least on my phone the issue is gone! Great! :)
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] docmorris90:
I also want to leave a great thank you to chippa_a for his fabulous work on the ROM for this nice device.

Lately I managed to get VoLTE working which was important for me due to frequent breaks in talking over GSM. As reported elsewhere in former days providers restricted IMS registration to special models or even branded firmware. This seems to have been the case for suzu in german Vodafone network. With the global (customised) firmware (from Emma) in vendor an the latest ROM of this thread it wasn't possible to gain VoLTE. So I flashed the latest firmware branded for Vodafone Germany from xperifirm via flashtool (phone was shipped with Telekom branding initially). After clean install of the latest ROM from here via latest TWRP (don't forget to format data) VoLTE is working now. Maybe this helps someone else too.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] docmorris90:
After writing the last comment, the free-line sign was gone when making a call with VoLTE. Is this a problem of the ROM or Vodafone? Calling is working and Voice quality is fine, there is only just no beep while waiting for the other one to answer. Switching of the VoLTE button solves the problem but lowers Voice quality markedly.

I tried another SIM-card of the same Carrier (Vodafone Germany) with the same settings, at the same place, calling the same number without having the problem. After asking Dr. Google this isssue seems to be a problem of the SIM...so maybe I´ll have to aks the Provider :eek:

any chance we could have FM radio in this rom?

New and final build is available!

January 2024 security patches

LineageOS upstream updates and fixes

This build is the final one for LineageOS 20. Unfortunately, due to a lack of community, the next major version and further development for this device is in doubt for now.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] vika67:
Thank you for the latest update, and saddened to hear that this is the final version.

Hope you change your mind and release more updates in the future. The updates have been great and I love the Sony Xperia X phone!
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] qfox9:
I thought LineageOS Suzu was dead. But I found this thread and successfully flashed the system image using LineageOS Recovery 18.1 signed. My Sony Xperia X lives again! I guess the recovery pathced the system img with signature during sideloading, because it reported patching unconditionally on phone in recovery mode and succeeded, on PC the status failed. Hey but the phone works. It is great.

Sadly I read that you will abandon the project. I would like to take it over. I read the build LineageOS article on the website. Do I really need 300-500 GB SSD storage for this? I know how to use Linux, I can increase the swap file to get more than 8 gigs of RAM.

I would like more info on how you manage your LineageOS suzu project and updates, bugfixes.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nerfiaux:
@Chippa_a Hello,

I have a question concerning the Wi-Fi Mac Address of our Xperia-X.

Is the feature to have a random mac address enabled ?

I don't see the option inside the Access Point settings ?

Did you assign a fix address ?

Thanks for your work again,

BR,
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] qfox9:
As far as I know you go into Developer Mode (tap multiple times on Build Number), then in System>Developer options you enable Wifi non-persistent MAC randomisation.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] qfox9:
It should work like on previous versions.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nerfiaux:
Thanks for your reply.

What intrigued me is that the default MAC address ends with : XX:YY:ZZ:11:22:33

So I think all xperia-x flashed with this ROM have the same default mac address.

Maybe you can confirm ?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Loader009:
Weird...

My suzu tries to connect to a chinese IP: https://ipinfo.io/118.117.170.45

UID in AFWall+ is "Unknown (-100)", no port, just protocol 128.

Anyone with the same observation?

LOS 20-20231216 (newest update doesn't work with the updater).
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] qfox9:
Sorry for the late reply.

Yes I can confirm wifi MAC ending in 11:22:33

Hi,

There seems to be a 5400 mAh battery for K30 Pro/F2 Pro on AliExpress, has anyone tried it?

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005003728029067.html
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Accessories] blackhawk:
That's 700mAh more capacity than the original; bs. It's a physical impossibility. One rated at 4700mAh be a safer bet.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
Do you have experience with ROM tool from Dr.Ketan? In this Magisk module there is an AdFree option and a lot customization. I thought that then KnoxPatch isn't needed because the fixes are also included.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Yes, I personally use the Dr.Ketan Pro version. However, I try to work without the ROM-tool this time.

There is the ROM-tool-apk and if you pay the ProTwearks-extension-apk.

The problem is that you have to reset all settings in both tools after each system update, so I personally see no advantage in the ROM tool. With the last firmware update I was a little too hasty and have even shot me the ROM tool.

Unfortunately, Dr. Ketan makes no FULL ROM for the S23/S23+ so you have to live with it.

The Pro version is personally only for debloat.

On the subject of AD-Free, this is a nice extension, but this is a non-configurable AD-blocker, so you can not set personal configurations such as adding exceptions. So the classic and well working way use AdAway.

For AdAway there are some sources, I recommend if you are lazy the GoodbyeAds source + Own Exceptions.

Regarding the Knock Patch, I can't say anything about it, I use the file I pinned + LS-Posed (as a shortcut) and it works fine.

My SafetyNet is PASS.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] cashmonkey:
Hello will this work on galaxy s23 sm-s911n ?

If not, do you have root instructions for sm-s911n
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
If you have the possibility to unlock the bootloader, it should work. The steps do not change.

However, I can't guarantee that it will work, so you have to try it at your own risk.

As far as I know, the bootloader cannot be unlocked on the US models, so you have no possibility to root there.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] cashmonkey:
Thank you for the prompt reply!

I'm in USA T-Mobile and purchased the galaxy s23 sm-s911n so I can get the 512gb version :)

I'll let you know when I get the phone and try the rooting to see if it works.

Fingers crossed

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23] zeroabcdezero:
hello there

after a further reboot automatically performed by Magisk,i lose root again,how to fix it

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
Did you use Magisk S23 version.

Last week my S23 rooted with the procedure in OP and have still root.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
I had exactly the same problem, so it is very important to use exactly this Magisk version, which I have linked. Also, after installing Magisk, do not update Magisk for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] zeroabcdezero:
Succeded!

Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Enddo:
is the APK you linked the same as the canary version from the official Magisk GitHub?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
No this is the APK which was posted in the "How to Root" topic by Dr. Ketan. This is currently the only Magisk APK that works with the S23 models.

For more info about the Magisk(KlickME). (Thanks to @BlackMesa123)

I have only uploaded everything separately in my cloud, on the one hand so that I can find the data quickly, on the other hand so that I can always keep the data up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Gymcode:
The only thing stopping me from rooting is losing Samsung Pay, which allows me to pay for public transportation without needing to unlock/authenticate.

Is there a way to retain Samsung Pay after rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
No there is (currently) no possibility to use SPay, there probably won't be.

You can use GPay as an alternative.

But it is also all described above in the topic. Please read it carefully before questions are asked. Alternatively, use a translator...

If new special possibilities come, I will of course share them with you, if you discover important features, please share them with me as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] balbosta:
Hello all,

I'm running into an issue rooting S23 Plus that im not finding any information about online.

My boot loader is unlocked, I've followed the process to root. After installing the patched file from Magisk, the phone boots fine and gives me the setup, but I get an error at the portion where I accept Samsung terms. I just get -45

If I erase the phone back to the default FW, the setup completes without issue.

Has anyone ever seen this error before?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Unfortunately not yet seen/had.

Try to reset your device according to my instructions, but for the first time without Magisk. Do not use the Home_CSC, but the normal CSC for the first time.

If your device can be set up and you get into the system, repeat the flash process with Odin, but now use the patched AP file and the Home_CSC file.

Now your device should boot, is set up and it should also have Magisk on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] balbosta:
Okay, so just to confirm I'm doing this all correctly, since I'm fairly new to rooting.

I've downloaded the stock FW from Samfrew.

It contains 5 files.

AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC

On a clean install, I need to transfer AP to the phone and use Magisk to patch. After patch, I move back to my PC.

In Odin, I should be using AP from Magisk, then BL, CP, and HOME_CSC files from stock FW.

Is this correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Download your ROM in Frija.

Take out all the data.

Flash as follows:

BL, AP, CP, CSC. ( do not use the magisk-Patched-AP data)

Boot your device, set it up.

Once it's set up, install the Magisk APK version I post above and launch Magisk.(Dont Update Magisk!)

Drag the AP file to your device, patch the AP into Magisk and make it back to your PC.

Now flash BL, (Magisk-AP), CP, Home_CSC.

Then your device should boot normally and magisk is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] balbosta:
I tried this step by step.

After flashing with BL, Magisk-AP, CP, and Home_CSC, the phone will not boot. Eventually it tells me I need to factory reset. If I factory reset, the phone will boot to the setup, but im still met with "-45" when the phone should activate. :cry:
[Samsung Galaxy S23] The_SloPro:
What is your MN and CSC? Also do you have unlocked or bought at a carrier? Mine is S916B and was looking if anyone already rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
Hi, thx for detailed tutorial. I just wonder.. When I want to update firmware (I hope that means software update for the system S911BXXU1AWA6 -> S911BXXU1AWBD -> S911BXXS1AWBM - newest), do I have to update chronologically or can I skip some updates and go straight to the newest?

I still have rooted out of the box firmware and I'd like to update once the new mostly camera focused update will be released.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
You still have one possibility, look for TWRP here in the forum.

Set up your device without root.

Look for the instructions on how to install TWRP. Install TWRP on your device and try again via TWRP Magisk to flash. Unfortunately you have to find the steps yourself.

If your device is not rooted, update it to the latest version via OTA. If you plan to root, simply download the latest firmware and flash it via Odin.

However, you can only update the latest firmware cleanly, so do not perform a dirty jump.

- S911BXXU1AWA6 -> S911BXXU1AWBD -> S911BXXS1AWBM ### if you update via HOME_CSC_OXM. (Update)

- S911BXXU1AWA6 -> S911BXXS1AWBM ### if you update CSC_OXM (But you will lose all data/settings etc.). (New installation)

also for the people who doesn't know, the Samsung galaxy s23/s23+/s23u on models SM-S911W/SM-S911U1/SM-S911U CANNOT get their bootloaders unlocked due to not having an OEM unlock option in developer settings. this has been like this ever since the galaxy S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Today successfully updated to the latest version "S911BXXU1AWC8/S911BOXM1AWC8/S911BXXU1AWC8".

The procedure has not changed.

It is still using the Magisk version I posted.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
I was preparing the firmware update. I tried to update Magisk first to 25.2.10, but it keeps failing. I will stay on release 25.2.06 which is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] fozzy056:
Hi, i'm kind of new in samsung's world

I rooted and put TWRP on my GF S23 with BD firmware

Now i want to update it, so i need to update it first into the BM firmware, and after that to the latest C8 firmware right ?

So i downloaded C8 with Frija, but is there any way to DL the BM (old) firmware with Frija ?

I tried with manual mode and putting PDA and CSC codes of the BM firmware i need, but can't figure out what to put in "phone" section

Download 9 Gigz at 600 KBps from Sammobile mehhhh 😄

EDIT : I found the firmware with unlimited DL speed on this site : https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S911B/EUX/S911BXXS1AWBM
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
@Ramme can we update Magisk to new Canary release. What is the procedure.?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
I don't know, you are welcome to try it.

My current status is to use only one version, no other (for now).

You won't get any benefits from updating your Magisk either. Just leave it as it is, as long as it runs.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
I have updated Magisk to V26.0

It wasn't easy because boot failure after uninstall previous Magisk S23. I restored previous patched AP with CSC Home. I tried uninstall again, but after auto reboot I pressed vol + and - for download mode. From there I reboot device and then boot without Magisk was fine. Then I installed Magisk app V26.0 and patch the AP file that later is used in Odin.

ROM is working fine with the new stable release.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
@Ramme you can change the Magisk app in your collection
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Update to Magisk Beta v.26.0 performed. I can confirm, the function is ok.

For the people who are still on the Canery Magisk Version:

- Open Magisk App, click the Uninstall > Select Uninstall completely.

- Then restart your device.

- Download Magisk Beta v.26.0, install the APK, open Magisk and patch again your AP file from the ROM downloaded in Frija.

- Then Update again using Odin and the newly patched Magisk-AP-file as if you were updating.

(Magisk-Patched-AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC)

- Now your Magisk should work again. Now you need to install all your modules again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
Thx a lot, I know that I ask to much or to stupidly but I really do not want to brick my little precious, which was not cheap.

I can see that you mention to use the HOME_CSC_OXM in order to just update (as I said my device is already rooted with S911BXXU1AWA6 firmware), but I am a bit confused with what happens next. I still have the older version of Magisk and I would like to get the v26. So should I patch the AP file from new update (I will go chronologically so in this case it will be AP file from S911BXXU1AWBD) in Magisk (my original older version) and than use the patched AP file to update through Oddin? This basically repeat until I am on the newest S911BXXU1AWC8 firmware and update Magisk afterwards?

Also I have downloaded the firmware from samfm website so I presume I do not need the Frija program, am I right?

Thx for your patience
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
That's right, you can do that.

You can of course update the previous and then the latest update one after the other.

Where you ultimately download your rom is up to you.

With the magisk update to 26 follow my previous instructuon and it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
Thank you very much, sir. (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
Hallo again, I have managed to successfully update my S23 to the newest firmware update but when I wanted to update the Magisk as you described I cannot boot into the system. I uninstalled Magisk as you said and device rebooted itself and now it cannot boot and gets me into recovery where I can choose try again(which does the same)/factory data reset or view logs. And above is written: Cannot load Android system. Your device may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.

Should I factory reset to be alright? As there is not any other option I guess.. I have backed up all my data so it will be just very inconvenient to set my phone again but as long as I do not brick it is alright.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] The_SloPro:
download magisk 26.0 apk, rename .apk to .zip and flash it in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
I do not have twrp installed on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
You most likely did not uninstall Magisk correctly. Now your partition is encrypted.

If you still have your ROM data including the previously patched Magisk AP file, perform an update with Odin again. Now you should boot back into the system on Magisk Canary.

Repeat the uninstallation of Magisk Canary again correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
I did exactly this (Open Magisk App, click the Uninstall > Select Uninstall completely). How can I boot into download mode to carry on in Odin when I have only options mentioned above? I do not carry about loosing data, all I want to have the device working. Thx for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Turn off your device. (Vol. Down + Power Button) (You can also try Vol. UP + Power Button.)

As soon as your screen turns black, press immediately:

Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and connect your USB-C cable, now the download mode will start.

I have attached some pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
I know but how can I turn it off? There is no option in recovery only wipe/try again/log.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] The_SloPro:
if you have all data safe, i'd suggest installing twrp and then doing anything else
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
If it has a display lock in it, it doesn't get far with TWRP, because the unlock doesn't work. (You have no way to pull data onto the device.)

I initially happened exactly the same as him, hence my solution.

I did it exactly as described and it worked flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
So what do you advice to do, please? Should I wipe data? Or do you know how to boot into download mode?
