[ROM][Unlocked BL][V7 02.07.2017] LineageOS BETA (NJH47D) for SGP611/SGP621

[milox_x]

Brightness control is not working (it's always at max no matter what you select) and 5Ghz wifi is not detected either. Are these known issues? Can't see them in the OP.

By the way noticed also that screen is not going totally off when pressing power off button to block it or the device goes auto off...

I didn't had issue with brightness too. Did you followed flash instructions correctly? I would try to reflash it.

Hi lowtraxx,
did you work on a new Version (V9)?

 

[jacktheriefla]

I dont wanna Change the Rom

 

[nachtgeist]

Hi lowtraxx,

is there a chance you're going to publish your current local_manifests and forked repos? I've seen your profile on github but those repos seemed a bit stale to me...
Thanks!

I've been out of the loop for a very long time, and am wondering if I can do anything with my Z3TC.

I'm in Canada and purchased my Z3TC from Rogers. As far as I know, it is bootloader locked, and I don't believe there is an official method to unlock it (I remember checking a site before, and it saying my device wasn't eligable). It's been a while, and I'm wondering if things have changed? Can I do anything with my Z3TC in order to use something like this Lineage OS?

What I have:

Model: SGP621
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security patch level: May 1, 2016
Baseband: 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00112-61
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-gc14c2d5 BuildUser@BuildHost #1 Tue Jan 28 11:15:51 2016
Build Number: 23.5.A.1.291

Been going around all the old posts here, and am not sure if any of it is relevant anymore.

Of course, you can unlock your bootloader. Just head onto this page, scroll to the bottom and select your device then simply follow the instructions.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
There are some additional links on the page that maybe of help.
Good luck!

So, after I made my reply, I went and searched out that unlocking page again and came across it and attempted to follow the instructions:

Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of this model. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu.

Open the Contacts app.
Click the menu button in the top right.
Click Settings.
Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above soft key bar, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).
Click Enter service code. A dialer will appear.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialer.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

First off, step 4 does not work for me. Long-pressing anywhere in the white space does not make anything happen.

So, I launch the phone dial pad and enter the code as described, and I can get to the menu. From there, I follow the instructions, and I get to the Service Info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status

Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No

@cquilliam
There are a lot of people here using this ROM on sgp621(LTE version), the OP himself has a sgp621. So why don't you just try unlocking it (by entering your imei number, getting the unlock code and running the required commands in the terminal).
Here is a detailed video explaining the unlocking process

Just give it a go, most likely you'll be able to unlock it.

Thanks for your effort, but it doesn't look like it's possible for me for some reason. Perhaps it depends on where the SGP621 came from? I don't know.

I tried anyway, and got this:

...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.005s

Oh, that's sad! But stock ROM ain't that bad either.

I was kind of hoping to strip down this thing a bit as I'm constantly getting messages on it that i'm running out of space. I have a 64gb sd card and move as many apps over to it as possible, but i still run out with barely anything on it, it's frustrating. I had it rooted at one point and used several different programs to remove as much as I could, but still didn't help much.

Oh well!

I tried anyway, and got this:

You need to supply the unlock key specific to your tablet to the command. The only way to get it is from Sony: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/

BTW it seems most people have moved on the the AICP Android 8 Oreo ROM instead of this one because of lack of development on this ROM.

Thanks, i did get the code generated after entering my IMEI and used that on the fastboot command line as instructed. No dice.

OK. Did you enable unlocking bootloader in developer settings first too?

 

[cquilliam]

No, but I don't see that option. Here is an imgur album of my developer settings: https://imgur.com/a/VSTSkcK

ok then it won't work
You could try flashing another stock rom image with Flashtool to see if you get that option in the developer settings.

Thanks for your help. I'll mess around with it and see what I find.

Hi Guys,

I am so sorry for being quiet for this long. Actually, this is my first time back on the forum in the last few weeks I was held up, because I moved to a new House over those last few weeks and there were quite a few hiccups along the way including spotty to no internet access. Also I was in Canada for a few weeks in between (actually currently am again till the end of the week) due to work engagements. But now that I am settled in, and stress at work reduces due to 2017 being over, I hope to get the builds running again (need to dust off the build machine) in a timely fashion.

Sorry again guys

Hi lowtraxx. Still loving this build, but have you had any luck getting that build machine running again? Would be great to get some security updates. Many thanks.
