What's that to do with not booting anymore? Two phones, same problem
i was referring to the issue of not being able to boot into recovery.
as for why the system isn't booting, obviously something during the flash was not done right, seeing as I myself upgraded 2 different devices from los17.1 without a problem and a clean flash also works without issues both for me and at least 10+ people that have tested before I posted the rom here

Okay now it seems to work, but is a strange thing that appear sometimes, because I had this also on 3.4 version more than one time
did you by any chance select the option to update the built-in recovery with system updates? it might be tgatbwhat you are seeing there is the LOS recovery, which is currently broken, that replaced twrp.
i have also fixed los recovery since then, so that black screen at least shouldn't happen anymore with newer builds.
yes first time with you rom I without thinking select that option, and I sincerly think that was the problem, but I've already hit on it in lineage 17, and I don't remember there was this option... Maybe is the installation process, even if it goes well without any error
i'm getting sound bleed speaker when ever facebook notify while wearing earphones this is annoying
I dirty flashed over LOS 17 with a cache and Dalvik wipe and don't seem to be having any issues.
How are people coping without the stock Sony camera? I'm looking to migrate from PixelExperience to something else (this rom, most likely), but I'm sceptical about the camera issues and other issues with this rom.
My g8342 has a telecommunication signal, but I can't access the network

Tried dirty-flash over 17.1 with dalvik/cache wipe - looks like it's crashing on boot, 2-3 mins of showing LOS logo, and then reboots into TWRP.
Upd: it's caused by Magisk 21.4, patched bootimage is unbootable. Any other rooting solution?
Upd2: tried Magisk 21.2, 21.3 - also breaking boot image
Upd3, final: looks like it's something in how recovery processes Magisk installer zip, I've managed to extract boot, manually patch and flash via fastboot.
Debug info: dsds twrp version from top post.

How to unlock bootloader??
need help
sony xz1 tried my firmware
Thanks in Advance!!!
I beleive that's the wrong thread, Q&A General is the proper place for this question
Btw, the first post contains incorrect info on bugs: WFD works at least for purposes of screen mirroring - checked via miracast to Samsung TV
Working in my XZ1. It seems to work perfectly. Nothing strange except....
It's normal in those ROM that the google play doesn't work with my credit card? I tried also putting magisk and some changes but I can't solve it. Sorry if it's not the place. Someone knows a solution for XZ1? I use a lot NFC payment.

You have to use HideProps module on this ROM (choose Xperia 5 props) in addition to common steps
Thanks. I've installed the magisk hide props, but i don't know the next to choose Xperia 5. What do you mean?

INSTALLATION
Put the zip file of the ROM on your sdcard or internal storage, boot into recovery and flash. When coming from stock: boot into TWRP, format data, reboot to recovery and wipe all internal partitions. Then flash the ROM, GApps (if needed) and root (if needed).
Note: There is not going to be a LOS su addon anymore. If you need root, flash a root manager of your choice. No guaranteed support from LOS for this.
When updating from builds, simply dirty flash the ROM.
If coming from 17.1, please see advice below in second post ("UPGRADE LINEAGEOS").
KNOWN ISSUES
- WFD is not working yet (waiting for new non-BSP blobs)
- Stock camera is not working anymore due to incompatibility of stock library (libimageprocessorjni.so) with new libgui
- You tell me...

Don't flash ROMs or Magisk modules which set SELinux to permissive or you welcome malware on your device!
UPGRADE LINEAGEOS
I have not tried upgrading the device from 17.1 and cannot guarantee that it will work - you should do a backup just in case. If things go wrong, flash it as if coming from stock (see instructions in OP).
The following steps should work though:
- Flash new twrp and boot into it
- Flash new rom, opengapps and any updated root solution you use
- Optional: Clear cache
- Reboot
UPGRADE FIRMWARE
- Grab the Sony Stock firmware using e.g. XPeriFrim. You should always flash the firmware matching the LOS build.
- Grab newflasher and put it in the same folder as the firmware files.
- Read the newflasher original post on XDA for general instructions!
- Remove the following from the folder so they won't get flashed:
- all *.ta files (keep the one in the boot/ directory)
- cache*.sin
- fotakernel*.sin
- kernel*.sin
- system*.sin
- userdata*.sin
- vendor*.sin
- Turn off your phone
- Hold the volume down button and attach it via USB to your system till you see LED turning green
- Run newflasher from within this directory to flash the remaining files
You can say yes to the first optional step, in case you don't have working drivers installed.
Skip the second optional step (dumping of trim area), it's useless if your bootloader is unlocked already and takes a long time.
How to get root?
As mentioned before, there will not be an official su addon from LOS anymore. If you need root, flash an unofficial solution.
Google Apps
You can download and install the Google Apps from opengapps.org. You need ARM64 and 11.x. I suggest to *always* use the pico or nano package. If you need additional apps you find them in the Play Store.
Open GApps for Android 11 is still in beta. You can download those releases here
MicroG
This ROM doesn't support Signature Spoofing. However we are watching MicroG and check if they provide newer builds e.g. for Android 11.6
Unfortunately, I am not sure there is much that we can do. The stock library that we need for the stock camera app to work properly (libimageprocessorjni.so) is not liking the new Android 11 libgui. We (also with the help of @j4nn ) tried to fix these issues in various ways, including shimming and forcing the use of the 10 libgui but haven't managed to get it working properly yet. Maybe we'll have a crack at it again at some point, but I wouldnt get my hopes up too much. It also doesn't help that the XZ2/3 series is not getting an official Android 11 update. Opencamera is a decent alternative, although it does lack some of the stock camera options.
Ok THIS WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER... I'll test it asap
Happy birthday. I hope you enjoy3Using this ROM for 2 months now...
Pros:
+ Mostly stable, except for very specific case (see cons)
+ Almost no bloatware (microg, vendor-specific apps etc) - modem switcher notifications are disableable at last
+ Passes SafetyNet with minimal handwaving
+ All hardware stuff appears to be working
Cons:
- High power consumption, discharge from full to 30 percents in 10 hours (was about 16 hours on LOS 17.1)
- Sudden freezes when making partial screenshots (short-press vol down + power)
- Camera app does not actually save to SD card
- Weird recovery - had to manually patch kernel image file for Magist setup, then install (written above, pg2 or 3 of this thread), looks like recovery coming with this ROM does something wrong - autopatch via recovery kills kernel, regardless which Magisk version do I pick
