Guys, don't change your device, keep it, protect it, mine has a broken screen... I got the lazyness to repair it because I already failed before to replace a scratched one, I even replaced the micro usb port and ordered a new usb cable, now I have an xperia z ultra, it's awesome, but the developpers sucks to explain how to and nobody helps me, I want AOKP, never used it on my note, I was all the time on the CM 10.2 RC 1030

There is a gigantic warning that tells you to back up the TA partition, so make sure you look into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428590 first

Thanks, I have already backed up my TA Partition (DRM Keys for x-reality bravia engine)
I have rooted my device before, and, updated the SuperSU binary.
And... I tried to flash a recovery 108_DualRec_Jackie099.img via flashtool but my phone couldn't boot.
Then the device was still on flashmod or fast boot, can't remember and I flashed the latest rom on it.
I have huge difficulties to install a recovery on it.
I even tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 and it didn't worked at all...
Dude, I have created a thread here where I ask for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/seek-thread-complete-explanations-t2816189
if you know someone that understands the working process of any xperia phones I hope that someone would explain there something
Because every tutorial writes, flash boot.img on your phone, (and, I'm here... okay... with what ? wich option to choose on flashtool, wich mode to put on my phone ? fast boot or flashmode etc etc...)

Unfortunately I do not know anyone with modded Xperia Z Ultra
However based on searches it seems to me that what you must do is unlock the bootloader then use this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426736 for the CWM needed for other custom ROMs
I saw some other threads too but this one seems to be most stable based on what I found

The main goal is to install a kernel with custom recovery of twrp or cwm. I was doing my best to search, but I couldn't really find anything newer. Right now I am from phone so I cannot really look into it further, I will later I think. I admit, having a download mode and stuff certainly makes the G note much more user friendly in this aspect.

Plz. Whatsapp me (+917845145751).Plz. Hi guys. I'm noob XD. Plz teach me how to install cwm (latest) to install a custom Rom. Plz.
I just picked up a 2017 16GB Shield w/ remote and controller over the weekend. It's really cool despite the lack of full Play Store. I was really interested in flashing a custom full Android ROM but most links seem to be Dead. What do you guys recommend? Perhaps someone who is running full Play Store can chime in here and let me what you did. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I did see this. Looks very good but does everything work? I was skimming through the thread, and this may have been a comment from a long time ago, but mentioned that WiFi wasn't working. That would be a critical bug if that was the case. But if most of the kinks are gone by now I'm willing to try. I've heard great things about Linage OS on phones. I was actually wondering if simply rooting stock ROM and tweaking the build prop would allow full Play Store. There's got to be a way to trick it. I'll have to do some more research.

After looking closer to the specific Linage OS builds, it appears that they are for Foster (2015). I have Darcy (2017). Looks like I'll have to wait it out and hope for the best ?

To be honest, the more I play with the stock system the more I like it. It's certainly stable so you got to give credit where credit is due. Thanks for the link. I did actually stubble upon the Nougat ROM last night and downloaded the files. Im first going to root stock then replace the launcher and tweak the build prop hopefully masking it as a Shield Tablet codename sb_na_wf. Then I'm going to fastboot to TWRP and sideload the real play store and see what happens. (Fingers crossed). Not sure if anyone has tried this but that's my best guess. If it works great, if not , I guess I can stand to just sideload the apps I need. Were you able to actually flash TWRP on your Pro or do you just temp boot to it?

I temp boot twrp always, I never install twrp since 5.2 and have had no problems as I have heard and found that is the safest way to do it
I have the habit of always asking on a new device no matter how much I think I know!
I have an xt1635-02 (I am US ATT Prepaid)(nano SIM) supposedly here tomorrow so I've been reading tons here.
However, it seems that a lot of the threads are aimed at rooting stock, which I never do.
As a rule, it's trivial:
[!] In this case it seems best to OTA update stock to 7.1.1 if it isn't already. I believe bootloader must be 7.x.x for doing custom Oreo ROMs . Since mine was 6.0 it took about 8 updates OTA and maybe 2 hours(wifi) .
[!]I go to moto site and do the unlock bootloader dance (already carrier unlocked supposedly).
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
[!]Then flash twrp-3.2.1-0-addison.img (Alberto97) using fastboot on my PC. (Ubuntu 17.10 dev 18.04 with adb and fastboot)(dual boot win7)
I do this twice in a row as I have experienced it not working the first time (dead android LOL).(OCD much??? )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629
- - -
[!] -->then flash Alberto's verity patch mentioned at the top of his TWRP thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629
This modifies stock. Else your backups of stock won't boot. Learned this the hard way!
- - -
[!]Then use TWRP to backup (default settings) stock a couple of times and put copies of both on PC (via USB on stock).(or if for some reason my USB-C doesn't work, via wifi to my router using filezilla FTP and phone app: "wifi file transfer" by "DNL Media UG"(needs permission storage=on..) - I had to redo this twice - redo this twice - kept dropping back to stock recovery.
[!]Then flash the boot logo using fastboot on PC - I usually use TWRP for this but these that I found here are not set up to be TWRP flash compat so will just remove bin from zip and flash using PC. I think I have about 4 possibilities that I found on these threads. Nice! Easy.
[!]Then boot to TWRP and flash Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 arm64 ROM. Why that ROM you may ask. Been using mainly that Alberto97 ROM on my Moto G3 (32bit version of course), and love it. There's plenty of time to try all the others!!!
I usually consider 2 root options; SuperSU 2.82-SR5, or majisk 1520. (for future readers, these are the latest at this time.)(besides I'm very used to them.)
With SuperSU I have had no probs wiping all 4(Dalvik/ART, system, data, cache), flash ROM, flash 8.1 gapps, flash SUperSU, and boot to install.
With majisk I have sometimes had troubles during install if I flash majisk in the first batch so I tend to wipe all 4, flash ROM and gapps, and boot to install. Then when I finally hit desktop, boot back to TWRP and flash 1520 and reboot.
I need root to use TBPro - no restoring on first time with this 64bit ROM- got to do it the hard way!
SO I believe that's it, but if anyone sees a flaw or problem in there, I would appreciate your help.
Thanks!!!
yep look right, i would have added backup EFS and Modem partitions, if you want to be completely safe.
For now, open gapps 8.1 are only unofficial, i would feel a bit unsecure to use that, but it's only me.

Merci! Many thanks for looking in!!!
Yes, forgot to add that - did much xda search on the efs thing and best I found seemed to be a twrp-3.1.1-0-EFS-addison.img which I may very well flash first and do that since no other TWRP that I looked at offers backup efs. Official and squid2 derived (G3) don't. I assume Alberto's doesn't. Seems like I did it very manually on the G3. If you have it it's a pretty good guarantee that you'll never need it! (Murphy axiom)
As to unofficial gapps, I've been testing about 5 different 8.1 ROMs on the Moto G3 over the past couple months and if the gapps aren't built in to the ROM(some pixelexperience roms), all you can get is an unofficial gapps, or do a minor simple hack to an 8.0 so it will accept it. Usually devs will include it. Bless Alberto97 for not including it so I can select my own!!! But I've had no prob with gapps. Open gapps project has 8.0, but of course they won't work on a true 8.1 unless minor hack. I was planning on using open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20180109-UNOFFICIAL.zip (from https://cloud.kenzoroms.club/?dir=opengapps) unless you have a better idea. I wanted to grab camera from aroma(somebody's idea), but I also have about 5 other cameras and gcams waiting on the Sdcard that I want to test, simply because there seemed to be disagreement on what works on Alberto's new 8.1 build, so wanted to be able to report.
Thanks again!

Thanks for great link! yeah I think I used adb as well as an app last time. I'll add recovery this time so that's 3 backups on internal storage (and copied to PC) should be enough! (yes dear readers I am serious about this - 3 times! They are so tiny! And that pretty much guarantees I'll never need it, but if I do, it's childs play to get it back.)
Thanks!!!
If you're wondering about the delay, they sent me a -01 (Droid)(Murphy's law), so they paid for a UPS next day air label back to them(mailed at 4PM) - don't know if I'll get this going before Sat! Oh well!!! Never take these things too seriously!!! Gotta be costing them a chunk! I did briefly turn it on and stuck the SIM in it and it did show LTE on my ATT, but there's a few bands missing that are on the -02, so will wait. Pretty display, though!!! Really looking forward to it!!!

yes. stock 8.x is a no-no. This one that is coming is 6.0.1 So I will let it ota update to 7.1.1 after giving it a thorough check-out, then try unlocking it, etc. Sound right? I have no interest in any of the hardware-type addons, just the plain phone 3/32 octacore etc. Why this one? - I love the reception (radio) strength of Motos, plus a ton of other things. I stick with them. Plus it's all Albeto97's fault for deving on AOSP 8.1
Lol Alberto97's roms are buttery smooth!

I think they are. He recently came out with an 8.1 AOSP version for the Moto G3 and I love it. I test others, but that's my daily driver. Sure not perfect, but quite good enough for me!!! So I figure when I get it (Tues?) that's what I'll put on it. There's always plenty of time to test others!
Okay, since I am waiting for phone (Tues) , obviously I am worried about "what-if"s and so researching on what to do, "if".
I succeeded in finding a nice zip for 7.1.1 with the Nov security patch
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto Z Play/Stock/
(I am US)(there are many others at that nice site!!!)
That took a lot of time.
Then I needed to be sure that I could get RSD lite to run, and tried and tried to no avail to get it to recognize my phone (even on my laptop) (I was testing with an old Moto G3 stock zip and my G3 phone) before some post gave me a version number much higher than at the RSD site. google gave me:
http://rsdlite.en.lo4d.com/
version 6.2.4, which worked perfectly.
I really need to write a short guide on this stuff - feels like I'm re-inventing the wheel, even though many folks have written much before I came along!
The reason for the above two is that for a while the last few days I kept running into folks who had taken 7 OTA and wound up with a bricked phone. So, yes, I just did a search for "brick" on xda in moto z play and will start reading them! LOL
Quick EDIT: I think I am wrong in that brick assumption - the first 3 I looked at involved encryption and 2 downgrades to MM (which is a no-no). I will read further.
edit2 - nevermind - most are downgrading to MM. Wish folks would just ask before doing that. That is a no-no of most (all?) phones. -
Hi,
Please share your camera result using Alberto97's roms. I some ROM but i dont like camera result, i think stock ROM still better in camera.

I have no problem with various cameras getting good image, but sometimes on still first pic doesn't save. ( tried camera MX and Professional camera hd. I'm sure lots work about the same.)
Forgot to flash Alberto's verity patch right after flashing TWRP. So I had to RSD lite 7.1.1 Nov 1 and start over - no big deal! OP corrected.

Greetings fellow Nova owners!
I have been using Henkate's excellent AEX ROM on my CAN-L01 for about 6 months now. It runs fantastic but I won a Galaxy S7 in a lucky draw a while back. I want to restore the Nova to EMUI to sell it to a relative.
I have been trying to restore the phone to EMUI 5.0 for a while, but the process always fails when I try to force SDCard Update. I used the following process:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74624117&postcount=2
I have restored the MM backup and put the update.APP file on my SD Card in dload folder. I also tried to put all of the files in the update.zip in the dload folder. My phone gets stuck at step 8. The issue is that when the phone reboots to install the update to EMUI 5.0, the update fails instantly after starting, saying software install failed!
https://imgur.com/cz2UXRV
Does anyone know what the issue might be? Or perhaps share a Nandroid Backup of a CAN-L01 if possible? I have no idea what to try anymore. Any help is appreciated.
I have downloaded the correct firmware packages for my model/carrier (CAN-L01 MTN ZA).

I seriously considered selling the S7 when I got it, but the camera and screen is fantastic! Battery life sucks though, and AOSP ROMs don't seem to run well on it, I was quite disappointed.
Back on topic, I've made sure to flash the stock recovery each time before I tried to install the update via SDCard, and I know about the USB cable issue. However, I have only tried 2 newish firmware releases, so as suggested I will try to find one of the earlier releases and report back. Thanks for the help!
Off topic again, I can make a video that shows the performance of my Nova vs S7 on LineageOS 14.1 if you want. It blows my mind how fast and optimized the Nova feels in comparison. I think the S7 Exynos drivers isn't as optimized as the Snapdragon 625 drivers.

Damn, that really sucks. I'm really happy with Nova's battery life.

I see. Alright, then let me know if it'll work. Just a note, make sure that the firmware you're gonna download has data_full zip too or something like that as inside that there's couple of other stuff, including updater app.

That would be really nice and funny . As far as I know, there isn't any video about Nova's lineage on YouTube, so it'll be nice if you do that.
Yes, it must be because it's an exynos. I'm sure that it would've been different with a Qualcomm. Qualcomm is simply the best out there.

I've tried B330, still get the same error. That brings the total of firmware update packages I've tried to 3. I have remembered to flash the stock recovery and unplug the USB cable. I really thought this would work.
I previously tried the method on the Huawei G8 forum (I think), by manually flashing some .img files through ADB. Any chance that that might have messed things up?
Also, I've made the video showing the performance of LOS 14.1 on my S7 vs Nova. The quality isn't great but I will upload it tomorrow. You can clearly see the Nova is much smoother and opens most apps quicker, with the exception of games.

I don't know if fastbooting the images works, as I've never used that method to update. Theoretically, it shouldn't mess anything, but I don't know if it matters what's your system and boot when updating through dload folder.
Are you trying to update through the forced method (buttons) or by dialing that code which I've wrote in my steps?
In your first post, you've wrote "but the process always fails when I try to force SDCard Update, but I don't know what you've really meant. If you've tried to update all this time with the buttons, please try it through dialer on EMUI 4. It always worked me. If you didn't try through the buttons, then give it a try. If I remember properly, I've always got error when I've tried to update through the buttons though. Again, if I remember properly.

I've already tried the dialer. Sigh... Perhaps I should just reinstall AEX then. It's way faster than EMUI anyway. I have tried EMUI 4 for a while and it made me realize how much the AOSP ROMs for this phone is than EMUI. The phone felt so slow, so I tried benchmarking with Geekbench 4 and suprise, my MultiCore score was only 2880! For comparison, I get 4300+ on AEX/LOS.
I think the only real benefit from keeping EMUI is the camera quality and additional modes. The software video stabilization on EMUI5.0 is fantastic, never seen anything so good.

I'm sorry, but i don't have any other idea.
I wouldn't have expected such a big difference in the benchmark lol. When i've went back to EMUI, it always felt slower. That's one of the main reasons i won't go back to EMUI back ever again.
As for EMUI camera, it's really nice indeed and is one of the things i'm missing from EMUI. It's on my to do list (porting EMUI camera to LOS; it was done before on other phones), but i don't know when i'll do it (since i'm working on LOS 15) and i would do it for LOS 14 first since Nova doesn't have an Oreo EMUI camera.

Thanks for all the help though! I'm looking forward to LOS15.1
If you want I can help test some stuff, I'm using my S7 as a daily driver, and the relative interested in my Nova ain't gonna have spare money for a while. PM me if I can help test some stuff, I'm always eager to learn.
I'm gonna mark this thread as closed.
I have an SM-N910P (SM-N910PVPU5DQI5)
hardware: N910P.05
OS: 6.01
Build: MMB29M.N9100V0U5DQI5
Wi-Fi only since the connection to Sprint is no more (use my Note 8 for that)
TL;DR - where can I find the ROM for this phone for 8.1 Oreo? Where can I find instructions on how to do it?
I'd like to root it (have oneclickroot) to get rid of the crap finally; then upgrade the OS. Version 8.1 would be fine, 9 is buggy on my Note 8 so not sure I want to go that far yet.
What I can't find is what I need for the phone I have to do what I want. Yes, I've done searches. Yes, I've even used my Google Fu. But most of what I find is from 2016-17 or earlier. After so much researching and reading, I am in acronym hell.
ROM = something you flash to upgrade OS (yes?)
ODIN = some special something that can do all but I can't find (makes my head thor....sorry, couldn't resist)
TWRP2 = twerp something that helps with booting but not sure what else
I have found threads that discuss it but there's a lot of broken linkages both here and elsewhere due to age of articles.
I am a root-virgin. I was going to root my Note 10.1/2013 tablet but replacing the battery did not revive it. Funeral was beautiful, though.
There is a Lineage OS Unofficial 15.1 trlte based on 8.0 Oreo. However, being an unofficial version it will have some bugs. My suggestion is to search XDA Note 4. Then scroll down to Android general development Snapdragon and go to LineageOS 16.1 unofficial version, scroll down and it will have a link to the unofficial 15.1. Then look for the download version trlte. And just for the record, I totally understand what you mean by acronym hell. I went through that also. Had to stop reading to search 5 or 6 times within 1 paragraph of reading. It takes time to understand but if you persist youll get the jang if it. As for the oneclickroot I can offer you no info as I have no experience with it. I will say, Odin is the preferred method here on XDA. There may be members that look down an app to root. I am not one of them as I began my root with the S3 years back. I was unfamiliar with Odin, drives, and PC. Rooting with an app helped to get started. As. for your search, you mentioned most from 2016 & ,17. Yep , I know. The developers for the most part have moved on to newer phones.
Oh, if you have TWRP custom recovery, I strongly recommend backing up of all your parttisions before you begin, meaning check all the boxs before you back up. Also, there is an app called Tipatch which patches TWRP adding the ability to back not only data but alll internal memory. Make sure you TWRP is set to backing up to your external SD. If your looking for something close but not Oreo. Try GRX home zip on stock deodexed rom. Good luck
Twrp (team win recovery project) is a custom recovery which replaces your stock recovery. It is very important to download the correct one for your phone. I use twrp 3.2.3-0-trlte.img.tar and flash it with Oden. Make sure to turn off auto reboot. YouTube search for more details. A custom recovery lets you flash custom roms, kernel, and various zip files. The most important thing it does is backup all the parttisions. If you make a mistake later on soft brick your phone , you backup may be the only thing that gets it working again. I recommend backing up all parttisions (check all boxes ) before you root or mod anything. That way you have a clean backup of your original firmware. Backup everything to external sd and if possible make a duplicate and save to pc, flash drive...... And yes, its a bit overwhelming at first so do some research and ask questions if needed.
Back up what's that? LOL.. When I backed up mine, then started the wipe process I accidentally wiped away my back up. LOL lucky for me I have a complete stock firmware on reserve if it is ever needed. I'm itching to try something new, but might just stick to what i have now..

How are you my friend? Always good to hear from you Mr doubledragon5. At one point, I thought I was alone in this forum.
LOL , Im glad you liked that"back up whats that?" LoL Perhaps I should have been a bit more tactful in my responses but I couldnt help myself . Just couldn't seem to convince that member the importance of making a backup before flashing and modifying everything. As for the systemimg fail in Odin, the PIT file from another firmware has partitioning that is incompatible with 5dq15.
It could be a combination of DM-verity, DRK, emmc/mmc fail and all the rest.

Ya I forgot to make my back up go to the external SD card, or at least transfer it to my computer desktop.. I love having complete control of my phone.. It actually works better than my Pixel 3a Xl... Only issue I have found so far is after upgrading my youtube vanced, I lost screen rotation, and can't figure out why.. I'm going to uninstall it just to see if some how that caused the issue.. If not then time for a complete reinstall... LOL I always visit this forum at least 3-4 times a day to see what is up.. Hopefully more people will come to realize, that the newer phones are just not worth the price, as they have become to restrictive and to expensive, plus not to mention to intrusive.

The 512gb Note 10 plus at about $1,200 is an experience device. The hardware is impressive, however, restrictive US versions have locked bootloaders.
Your YouTube Vanced app may conflict with YouTube when updating. I believe you have to uninstall YouTube updateds and disable automatic updates in Google PS. Then install YouTube Vanced . Advice to confirm this as Im not certain of the exact procedure. Just be careful not to unistall Youtube Good luck.

Youtube was originally installed, but taken out with TT back up and root, before Youtube Vanced was intalled.. So I went ahead and reinstalled the rom. Will see what happens over the next few days.. I know a fix was posted in the Rom thread, but the link is broken, as it is no longer being supported naturally.. But hope someone has a copy, for future use, rather than keep on re-installing.

Did reinstalling the rom fix the rotation issues? Can't help but notice how much you like YouTube Vanced so it must be better that YouTube. Now Im interested in YT Vanced.
What do you think of the Team BlackOut app in Dtux rom control mod center?

Yes. YouTube vanced is much better than the regular youtube.. But I can't seem to get the rooted version to work at all. I use the non route version with micro G. But you have to use a slightly older version as a newest version keeps on Forest closing.

I haven't the experience with YouTube Vanced so I can not advise. As far as the broken links in the developer threads it seem to be a common issue. Im guessing , the more time that passes the less the links will provide a download. As I notice your post on Dr. ketan rom and it links to a n910g xda thread. If you do go back to rooted stock deodexed rom before installing a custom rom then consider copying your system csc file/folder to external sd. Also, you may wish to check out the GRX home v8 touchwiz mod .zip. Its modern and customizable but can not easily be ported to the Dtux rom as some setting overlap but once familiar with the setting in GRX then you can avoid conflicting issues with the rom control app of the custom rom. GRX works really smooth and I liked it so much than when I installed Dtux the touchwiz launcher felt out dated. Anyway the last pic is an app for themeing the Play Store.

Stuck on the 5DQ15, I noticed something in looking threw a .zip custom rom with knox system app removed./deleted. The files/app inside the folders were deleted. The folder was not delete but the property permissions were changed. I found this to be consistent rom to rom developer to developer. Ill post a few pics in the next post. So now I do the same thing with a root file manager. I just copy and past the folder to external sd before I delete files/app from the system. Then back out and change the folder permissions and reboot. Its recommend to wipe dalvik/chache making changes to the system but I get lazy and just reboot.
If you still have the Dr. ketans M12 rom or another rom with system apps that have been removed then you can look threw the rom .zip and copy the touchwiz home app to the external sd . I use an older app (ZArchiver pro) to be able to copy an app from a .zip without the need to extract the entire .zip to do so. Perhaps the newer free version will do the same.
