[ROM][10] LineageOS 17.1 [OFFICIAL]

[LineArc]

Ok, so please do the following steps:

1. Download the attached vbmeta.img (it's the one of the latest XZ2 stock fw) and place it somewhere on your pc.
2. Copy the Magisk patched kernel (magisk_patched.img) from your device to the same place on your pc.
3. Shut down your device and connect it in fastboot mode with your pc
4. Open a command line from the place you've saved the two files from 1. and 2.
5. Enter the following commands (file by file):

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot

(the name of your "magisk_patched.img" could differ, so please use the exact name of yours [mandatory]!)

where to get the magisk flash file.

can you provide the guide how you flashed the rom. currently i am at Sodp 11 beta. what am I supposed to be doing if I am comin from that rom.

AFAIK the gist in this case is that you should first flash the Stock ROM and then follow the installation instructions for the XZ2 on the official LineageOS pages.

 

[seilent]

sir,please make Sony Camera Magisk Module
currently it doesn't work on aosp10,11 always exits

stock camera will never work in SODP based ROM even though you turn it into magisk module
at least for now

@Sjll did you include the fix to make the "Settings-> Network & Internet -> SIM cards" visible?
At the moment I need the search function to open it.

It might be disabled, maybe you can try

adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_network_and_internet_v2 true

adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_network_and_internet_v2 true

Thank you
That enabled my previously grayed out / disabled 4G telephony and wifi calling settings.

But sadly it didn't enable the still hidden "sim cards" menu.

Hi all,
and big thanks to Sjll to open th XZ2 to the free world.
I recently got a new (used) XZ2. Target is to run LOS (no gapps (yet), no stock cam, no root) that works with wifi calling.
Current issue: Wifi calling did work once, and then no more. #

Here's what I did (collected wisdom from the entire thread, kudos to all that contributed).

0) Basics:
vol up and usb -> fastboot (first red then blue led)
vol down and usb -> adb / recovery

1) Open Bootloader:

Unlock Bootloader - Open Devices - Sony Developer World

developer.sony.com

Your unlock code for (IMEI)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Boot device
7*Build > Developer
allow OEM on
USB Debugging on

adb devices (works)
adb reboot fastboot (Oder Vol up und USB IN)
fastboot devices (works)

as of https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/akari/install

fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx
OKAY [ 83.385s]
finished. total time: 83.385s

fastboot reboot

2) Get to a clean clean version
download EMMA (Flash Tool) from here

Flash Tool - Open Devices - Sony Developer World

developer.sony.com

vol down and usb und start EMMA
flash latest software update (Erases User data)

restart and reconfigure
USB Debugging on
adb devices works

check if VOLTE aka Wifi Calling works! (It did work with my Vodafone SIM)

3) Install TWRP and LOS
download vbmeta.img from here drive.google.com/file/d/1ucpo6om5rgXdIK38xXiK0kEkI1cXWXCd/view?usp=sharing

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
does not work: fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot twrp-akari-20201013.img
usb out
Volume Down + Power on
usb in

TWRP:
advanced / adb sideload

command:
adb sideload copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip

TWRP
Factory reset
delete davlik system data internal
format data

command
adb push lineage-17.1-20210324-nightly-akari-signed.zip /sdcard
adb push twrp-akari-20201013.img /sdcard

twrp:
Install lineage-17.1-20210324-nightly-akari-signed.zip (into inactive slot, maybe a)
reboot to recovery
TWRP:
Install lineage-17.1-20210324-nightly-akari-signed.zip (into other slot, maybe b)
Reboot to System
-> LOS boots fine.

Test Update to a newer LOS in Settings:
-> works

Now Wifi Calling did work one time - and then stopped.
Even ther is stable wifi, and the configuration states to prefer wife, it does not use it.

Where is this config stored? did something get lost when I
delete davlik system data internal in TWRP?

Not only volte and WiFi calling (ims) stopped working, also my sensors are dead.

Other person can't hear anything during a Skype call. Errors in logcat below.

 

[jphoerth]

I am very happy with the version. Thanks to the developers. I really hope for the final Lineage 18 version for the Sony Xperia XZ2

 

[Nghiem Nguyen]

Hey guys, pls tell me if i can load it to the SOV37 version?

 

[John Paden]

>> Not only volte and WiFi calling (ims) stopped working, also my sensors are dead.

sigh - I am trying to get the VOLTE / wifi Calling back by reinstalling the stock images via EMMA - it does not work with old or new, with Androis or 'Erase Content' packages.
Does someone have XperiFirm back to work?

 

[trinhloivn]

Hey guys, pls tell me if i can load it to the SOV37 version?

Được,nếu ô UL rồi nhưng t ngĩ b nên ở ROM gốc,t thử tất cả rồi hiệu năng không bằng được rom gốc

MOD EDIT: Please post only in English according to the FORUM RULES or at least add an English translation below your foreign language(Google translator for example),translation added below:

Okay, if it's UL but I think I should be in the original ROM, I tried everything and the performance is not equal to the original ROM

[EzawaTami]

Hello guys
I am having random reboots after mounting an Samsung 256gb SD card, which works fine in my laptop. Any ideas? The log file is below.
Thx

@Sjll Would you kindly help me with this

About the installation of LineageOS...

I just unlock my bootloader (Mine was XZ2, SOV37 single sim specifically, but using Global H8216 Firmware since I bought my phone from a seller that already switch the firmware to H8216)

About the installation, should I use the installation guide from official LineageOS or follow the post #1 installation guide? I'm quite confused, afraid if i disable the verification of vbmeta, causing the phone to not boot at all.

Hope anyone can reply, thanks in advance ;D

Hay, yes you can flash it as described in the first post. But please make sure you flash Android 10 Stock via newflasher first. I'm not sure if you can find the stock firmware at the moment.... If not, ask me if I can find my version.

On the vbmeta verification question: I haven't completely narrowed down the bug yet, but I suspect that if you're using the wrong version of fastboot, the --disable-verity --disable-verification flags won't work. Just to be on the safe side, make sure you are using the latest version... And if it doesn't work then, use the oldest one you can find ;D So far I haven't had any problems with those flags, i think. But to be on the save side, do everything as discribed in the first post

If your XZ2 doesn't boot anymore and you get a red triangle with an exclamation mark, you can try to flash back the stock firmware with newflasher.

There are many parameters, but if something fails, you can ask us here to get help.

No guarantee,
Good luck!

Hey buddy, thanks. I'll take note for that.

About the Android 10 Stock, I ask the seller that sell my phone, in fact it was the Global Firmware for my phone, the seller change the firmware from the SOV37 to Global one.

I guess I can proceed with installation, I'll let you know if there is any problem occur.

I already install LineageOS on my XZ2, it works fine, however, I have few issues:

- NFC not working
- Sony camera crash; giving Unkown Error
- Mine was Single SIM - SOV37 one, I put my SIM card inside, but not detected.

(Note: I use the guide from the lineageOS website to install it)

@Sjll @MartinX3 @MisterFynn any solutions?
