Screenshots

 

[Bikkoism]

Because your twrp not working, I extracted system.img from your package by brotli and sdat2img, checked if it is actually mountable, then flashed boot.img and system.img by TWRP 3.0.0 terminal.

Not sure if this method is right & necessary, but anyway…

1. At the moment of powered on, SONY logo is not apperead. Just black screen, and purple led flashes.

2. Successfully get into lineageOS boot animation. but device did not get into system for 30 minutes. I tried it again with userdata cache erase but It stucks at boot animation forever. In other word, bootloop. Yeah.

3. Offline-charging seems not working. Red led flashes once and Just black screen. Device stuck at this state even if usb cable detached. So I need to turn off forcefully.

Okay, I will add a loggy service in the next build, then you can grab logcats for me.

EDIT: BTW, did you flash my boot_permissive.img? because i forgot to set SELinux to permissive in the first build.

No, I flashed boot.img in zip file. I just flashed boot_permissive.img and behaviors are…

1 and 3 are exactly same with normal boot.img. but I could managed boot into system. System UI crashed and touchscreen not working. When usb connected, It charges, Xperia Z ultra Device appears in my PC, adb not working.

Seems It is very unstable also. It does not boot often and shows Boot animation -> Black Screen -> automatically reboot. It does not show full lineageOS logo even if when successfully booted. Boot animation -> Black Screen -> system.

Thanks for trying, looks like the init-phase of the ROM booting is working, once i have loggy service done, it could just output the logs that i need, hopefully we can figure this out soon.

Hey, I've uploaded a build which containing loggy service, it will start to record logcat to your /cache partition like this:

/cache/logcat_2021-XX-XX...txt

Let it boot into system and let it crash a few times, then go to recovery and grab the log files.

I also include a FIX for touchscreen, but not sure if it's working, let me know if you have tried it! thanks.

TEST BUILD: HERE

After flash your rom, every twrp I have(include your one) not boot. I tried to use volume up button to get into recovery but It also not works. So I have no idea what recovery you are talking about.

Anyway, Your touch fix not working. I connected OTG mouse, keyboard to navigate your rom a bit.

LineageOS full logo apeared normally.

SystemUI: Does not response message once. But seems rom working normally.
WIFI: Seems working
Bluetooth: A2DP seems working. but no sound.
Sound: Seems sound itself not works. AudioFX app also not works.

Can't test ADB because There is no way to get authentication. Device get into bootloop(Full logo -> blackscreen -> soft reboot) soon so I coudn't test more.

I tried to get log by flash stock rom without cache partition. but there isn't log.

Okay... sad to hear that, actually when you wipe the "data" partition it also wipe the cache partition i guess.
I've ordered an old Z Ultra from used market, but not arrived yet.

Offline charging still not working. Device won't be turned off automatically and just stuck at blackscreen afterward. Need to do force reset. This will be really problematic when battery completely ran out.

And Magisk not works. Have no idea If It is fault of rom or bridge or magisk.

I still didn't drive the rom in deep, only a few minutes. but I coudn't found critical errors till now. Some setting sections crashed but after reboot it back to normal.

Oh thanks for the heads up, I forgot to include a fix for offline charging.
Will be included in the next build.

For Magisk, I also don't know what's the cause of it yet.

 

[Bikkoism]

If possible I hope the rom could have root access for apps in near future. Using bridge or not, systemless or not, magisk, supersu, phhsu all not working and There is no way to get root access for apps currently.

Try this Magisk MOD , Found it on THIS thread and it worked on our device.
Flash it under TWRP.

You're awesome man. Revived this device after a long time

Make Xperia Z Ultra great again.

After 2 days of using : Magisk root works. All sensors seems fine. Experienced weird battery drop while sleep once but can not determine if it is old device failure or rom fault, overall battery management seems fair.

Some serious problems I have experienced :
1: 5ghz wifi is ridiculously slower than 2.4ghz and not really usable.
2: Some major apps I using simply not start. I attached logcat for those. logcat.txt for com.newin.nplayer.pro, logcat2.txt for com.jetappfactory.jetaudio

Edit:
1: Problem 2 is kinda random error seems related with camera app somehow. When this problem occurs, There is no camera app in launcher and I need to reboot the device to solve problem. And after camera app disabled, Problem seems gone.
2: 2.4ghz wifi also being unreasonably slow when bluetooth in use. Not really sure if it is hardware limit. but as far as I remember, Other roms are not like this.

Edit2:
1: Forget bout first section of first Edit. Problem back. Some major apps do not start regardless camera app disabled or not and need to reboot.
