WOW MAN it's fantastic.
Thank you for everything you've done for us!

Thank you for working on this. I have an XA1 and I'm desperate to mod it.
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to try it myself yet. I've changed my job and I've lost access to my old work PC. That had all the right drivers on it.
I might be able to install them on the new work computer but I need to check how easily the IT department will spot it first!

Sent from my Sony Xperia XA1 using XDA Labs

Following is the link of new kernel(G3116) . Please test it and report me afterwards. Hopefully it works.

Steps.

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot boot boot.img

(If every thing is fine and working then flash it)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I will upload a stock boot.img if some thing goes wrong e.g boot loops.

    I regret passing Android 8.0.
    Root permission should come immediately

    Finally, let's post what we expect to share.
    The name did not come to mind. Which file

    I do not understand how some users do not understand how XDA works.

    The developer is willing to help, create or modify functions that manufacturers do not provide us, often losing their hours off and gaining nothing from it, just to keep the community of users of a device with the best available .

    And these users keep asking about ETA, asking why the delay, and still saying what the developer should do.
    I would also like to have TWRP available as soon as possible. But the developer, who was the only one who decided to work on the project, still does not have the tools available. And he's waiting for Sony's release.

    So, this is the options that you have:

    1. Ask Sony to release the kernel as soon as possible.
    2. Ask Sony to release the kernel with the modifications you need.
    3. Ask MediaTek to release the drivers more often.
    4. Help the developer by working to make the releases faster.
    5. Buy another device that has a more active community.

    Or ... just wait and thanks for the developer's work.
