You need to compile it. You are trying to flash the whole 600-750 mb file with no updater-script LOL. The sources are broken which I fixed. They are meant to be compiled

Haha thanks bro , but I don't know how to compile it ,can you guide me some procedure how to do compile or suggestions me some compiling YouTube videos which is similar for Lenovo k8 note mobile (I'm trying to change my display quality)

What happened to all the yoga 2 threads from ionioni and workdowg??

Hey guys, today after a long time i came back around to this subforum to see if there are any news for my yoga 2 380f but all i found were closed threads?! wtf happened?
after so many months of waiting one could finally unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery - but now even the posts in these threads are empty.... why?
I am in the mids of gathering all the files that I did manage to get before they were removed. My tab is 1050f. Have all the stuff somewhere fore it

New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 1050 soon !
Hello !
Was CLOSED because not respected XDA rules about GPL !
Almost all work here on XDA require open source code ... he preferred to erase everything he did here instead to provide source code
About TWRP :
A recovery image does contain a Linux kernel which is under GPLv2, and the TWRP source code is under GPLv3 (see the license header in https://github.com/omnirom/android_b...d-6.0/twrp.cpp)

On the other hand, tomorrow I'll provide a new TWRP 2.8.7.0 UI 6.0 for Yoga Tablet 2 1050 !
I already managed to fix kernel issue on Stock Lenovo Kernel Android L .
I already pushed all my work on my github : twrp-yt2 for TWRP 2.8.7.0 and also for kernel ! I'll update kernel very soon , because right now is stock one .
Also in a short time I'll try to make a cm-13.0 for our device .
Best regards !

Can I ask what device you are using as a Base or are you building a vendor folder from scratch
Thanks for your work. Looks like you have implemented pixel finger, I will try this later

Yes, was started from scratch... should be OK for all YT2.
Also pixelflinger for _X86 are implemented, twrp works fine. ... and sure will work on stock Lenovo kernel for Android L.
Best regards.
I take it you will solve the vendor blobs as you build to find them out?
I have twrp 3.0.0-0 source so will try with that.
You said the kernel is solved? It will build if I sync your github? Have you built a kernel yet? If so what toolchain are you using? I couldn't get it to build as it could find my toolchain.
From the branch 5.1 on your github, it won't work with cm13 source?
Again thanks for your work matey

Kernel and also twrp must be compiled along with cm-12.1.
As I already said , my kernel source cannot be compiled ...( Lenovo do not provide a complete one ), but I'll update today later in order to fix all Lenovo issues.
Best regards.
New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 - 1050 ! Source code already available !

Sources

I'm here to question the device owner. There are few sources around about this device. They are raw and they are as common always experimental. Does anyone need them?
Furthermore, I can sum up here any sources I or other get to find about this device or its periphery.

Very good thing, I'm trying to build a CM13 rom from sources and I'm not sure if I have all required sources. For now I have, kernel sources with some "vendor" files from Sony and I found all build parameters like offsets/adresses and correct cmdline (no thanks to Sony because never released or mentioned them), the device tree dumped from my device, and I will dump the vendor tree too.
Now I need the defconfig for CM (very not sure if the stock one will work) , and some files like the boardconfig and some config files. I'm using the Elephone P9000 sources for sample, almost the same device (hardware side) and source files.
If I have some time I will try to upload files to git but I never tried before (sync only)...

Don't need to hesitate. I'll try to put the directions I've gathered here up today so it is done.
I finished to upload my files to Github:
https://github.com/rrvuhpg
You will find the device, kernel and vendor files to build CM13 for F3112/F3116. For now it will not work, it's just to share and help. I successfully built and booted the Cyanogen recovery with the kernel from sources, the doors for porting new roms are open?? :fingers-crossed:
My next step is to finish the device tree, verify the vendor tree and build the rom

Can you publish some brief preview?
Need to say the sources I had just seem to be down, so can't share them.
Through which Program are these to flash? If you're that far I can hold a look at it and may join in your development.
Verification of the Vendor Files is something I was not very good at it, not even a yolk I managed.

For now the only preview I can publish are the CM13 boot and recovery "as is", I'm not sure if it can help but I will release them if someone want to port others MTK Roms on XA. ( Never booted any ported rom with the stock kernel, stuck at Sony logo)
Flashing is easy: the recovery with fastboot and Rom/boot in a single flashable zip on the SD.
The kernel sources are coming from 33.2.B.2.95 open source archive from Sony but built from the lastest CM13 and Google git sources.
The vendor tree from 33.2.B.2.93 dumped from my phone, only common files with the P9000 are on my git for now.
The device tree from P9000 sources (from @Deepflex git) but seem OK.
CM13 have Android 6.0.1, I don't know if the security patch is the last one but August for sure.
I'm not so far from a finished build (not mean fully bootable), for now I successfully build a full CM13 for the Elephone P9000 (the twin of the XA, I'm using it as base). It mean my "kitchen" is working Now I'm trying to identify the last proprietary files from all others stock/cm13 libs, modify make files and cross my fingers it will fully build without errors.
You can join me no problem all people are welcome because I can't do all alone

good work , but I am noob to create rom with kitchen .. only zip edit I know
Yesterday I successfully built CM13 for XA from sources
But news are not good, the CM recovery is fully working as expected but the rom is stuck just after the Sony logo (Mediatek screen with "loading...") like on my previous attempts to port other roms. The kernel built from CM kitchen do the same... I will upload my git and my rom to see if someone have an idea on the problem. Now I will focus on the "vendor" files, but I'm not sure if it's the real problem. Can it be a locked preloader/kernel or something like that?
EDIT: I think the boot problem is related to the defconfig file from Sony kernel sources, I will try to change some settings. (the door for adding kernel features :good

Love you!
I will buy this phone thanks to you :highfive:
Thank you for your work on our phone, it's very cool.
I would have helped if i could develop myself. If you need help get in touch with me i know some great devs who could maybe help you
any news @rrvuhpg ?
Yes I have some news but I want to create a dedicated thread for the CM13 project with updates, explanations and downloads to avoid off topic here. I am on holiday on next week and I will have time to work on it and give explanations. For now I'm stuck on boot because of Sony extra settings in the boot process, it's the first time I see a bootstrap and TA partition mount on a MTK device. If you know a dev for helping me passing the Sony part in the boot init it can be great :angel:
Other thing, I updated my git with parts of the update made by @Deepflex on the P9000 sources and my recent changes.

Hey, great work - will this also work on Redmi Note 8 also?

[Q] [SOLVED] Building OOS13 Kernel - Finding defconfig ?

I am trying to build the latest OOS 13 kernel .
The source I am working with is https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250/tree/oneplus/sm8250_t_13.0.0_op8
In the past , i've built for Samsung and Lenovo devices , although I am unsure of a few things with our oneplus8t
Which defconfig file should I be using? as I do not see a kebab config within the root directory of android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250 or arch/arm64/configs/
Google has helped , but not too much material on building OOS kernels
What is the difference between a OOS kernel and AOSP kernel ? Would I be able to take a commit from AOSP and apply to my OOS ?
Appreciate any insight , and hope to be able to release a kernel soon!
SOLUTION
Backed up my boot.img with ex-kernel manager . Brought the boot.img to my build folder. Extracted defconfig with extract-ikconfig
Hey Dude I'm on oos11..i wanna compile a new kernel..which debconf to use.. the one in the vendors or what? Kona-perf.debconf?
Please help me which debconf to use for OnePlus 8
@hightech316 any luck on building the custom kernel yet?
