Hi, how is the way to update from version 1.1.8, I tried by OTA, and ADB but in both cases, it is not possible.
Error 21 and ADB does not exceed 45% of installation.
I tried with Version 1.5.2
Thanks for your help

Not really, you want to do the update without relying on the Root, do you need the Root for the process or just facilitate it.
By ota you mean with the official message that takes you to settings right?
Or with the dialer?
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/ae6c43b3022f2d554bd7a15e3dffb363e6b89000.zip
Download this, create a folder named
ota
in the root of your phone, place the newly downloaded file there without changing its name or extension
Open dialer and input *#*#682#*#* select the file.

Por ota te refieres al mensaje oficial que te lleva a la configuración, ¿verdad?
O con el marcador?
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/ae6c43b3022f2d554bd7a15e3dffb363e6b89000.zip
Descarga esto, crea una carpeta llamada
ota
en la raíz de su teléfono, coloque el archivo recién descargado allí sin cambiar su nombre o extensión
Abra el marcador e ingrese *#*#682#*#* seleccione el archivo.

Error 20 means Initialization Error, likely /system or /vendor partitions have been modified.
Are you sure you are not rooted? have you installed any modification on your phone?

Someone around here said 1.5.2 update is incremental rollout only for beta users , not for 1.1.8 users and this is quite logical .
All with 1.1.8 should wait for a new full stable A13 release which should come soon .
I wasn't enrolled in beta program but I flashed all those updates in right order through local ota and all went pretty fine . So be patient and wait , don't panic about those errors flashing updates files .
I trust in Carl Pei and the developpers behind him .
And that I'm referring to all who haven't alterated NOS , root or whatever . Personally I can't imagine why people root their phones . It can't be found any fine firmware , all have bugs , none has glyph working , you can't trust for further updates from them , banks or payments don't work and so on ...
Stick to native NOS don't brick your phones .
Im checking the files inside the ota zip, im looking at metadata.pb and metadata and maybe i've found the issue but im not sure since it's my first time digging through files.
If prebuild is what is checked before updating, then this ota is only for global devices, there should be somewhere another zip for eea
As you can see, the only device accepted in pre-build is spacewar, not spacewareea like there is in post-build
Im gonna move to the official thread for more info.
EDIT:
Yes this is the problem, there should be another zip file for eea devices somewhere but we have no mirror link for now.

Why people Root ?
Just in my case :
- Call Recorder (for my work)
- Adaway (AdBlocker by hosts)
- MIXplorer (have access Root path not only SdCard storage)
- MyAndroidTools Pro (remove/disable unwanted apps/permissions)
- Repainter (for choose color/UI/Material You)
- Simple Reboot (for choose Reboot mode on the fly)
- SmartHertz (for choose alternate refreshrate mode (60/90/120 hertz)
- SwiftBackUp (for easily backup/restore entirely a user/system apps)
- Viper4Android (for have a pure best sound in my device... so far)
It can't be found any fine firmware
I don't have any problem, just restore boot file from Magisk before update.
all have bugs
??? We have exactly the same OS like non root but with Root access granted.
Maybe you talk about Custom Roms ?
none has glyph working
Like i said before, we have the same rom like non root users...
And for your information (if you talk about Custom Roms) Glyph on Custom Roms in now fully working even on Custom Roms.
you can't trust for further updates from them
??? If you have NOS update, Rooted users also.
banks or payments don't work
Banks & payments (Wallet) working perfectly even with Root
I'm using my phone everyday for pay instead my credit card.
Stick to native NOS don't brick your phones .
False, if you want downgrade from 1.5 or simply make a true clean flash (because of Error 20/TimeStamp/Incorect Verify Check Signature) you have exactly the same possibility to brick your devices if you don't write / wipe properly the vendor / boot / recovery partitions.
A lot of people brick their NP1 because during flash process they don't have Wipe/Factory Reset their data (Encryption) between Official ROM / Custom Rom but a lot of other people brick their NP1 Between NOS ROM > NOS ROM process just because they have a bad ADB version on their computer during flash process or USB cable/port causing issues / errors.

1.5.2 is only incremental update for beta users. You need to update in this order for it to work = 1.1.8 => 1.5.0 => 1.5.1 => 1.5.1 hotfix => 1.5.2
It's easier to wait for stable rollout though.

Rom uses the Tweaked acer kernel 2.6.39.4+. Please see POST INSTALLATION procedures for Full System R/W access.
WARNING: You MUST have the hacked ICS Bootloader VER 3 or higher. Steps for installing unlocked ICS Bootloaders can be found in Civato's Bootloader and Recovery Guide
Do not install this ROM if you are on HC bootloader. If you don't know which bootloader version you have, download AcerRecoveryInstaller and run it. It will tell you. Also remember, once you go to ICS Bootloader, you can no longer run HC roms unless you go back to the HC Bootloader
PRO TIP: Copy the Evil Alex Unleashed rom to your EXT SD card first, before messing with bootloaders. Also, you must use an ICS compatible Custom Recovery which is mentioned in the same thread
Please direct all NVFlash bootloader install issues to the bootloader thread. Do not post them here.
To get the full features, and avoid issues, you MUST be on the Bootloader Version 3 or higher!!!
First off, a big THANKS to the following:
Galapagos1 - For the update dump
Vache - For his info
Drellisdee & Skrilax_CZ - Work with ICS Bootloader
EZTerry - For your previous help and OC Kernels.
Civato - for guidance in getting Ring and Print running, and tips/images, and Kernels. I owe him a lot with modding roms. Without his assistance, I probably would be lost.
And the rest of the people who got these leaks running when they were first introduced.
And I want to thank everyboy who tested the TEST Rom, and reported back. I appreciate your help. You all know who you are, and you are ACES in my book. Thank You Very Much.
Change list at end of post.

d. Wipe Battery Stats
Go to Mounts and Storage
a. Format System
b. Format Flexrom
Go back to Install Zip from SD
Select Evil Alex Unleashed zip
Install and reboot when finished.
Note: please give the tablet a few minutes to settle after initial start. This allows it to build it's Dalvik Cache. You may not see the Acer Ring button at first. Allow a minute.
Do your RECOVERY BACK-UP
POST INSTALLATION NOTES. IMPORTANT!!!!
- Turn USB Debugging ON in Settings/Development.
- For Full Root /System R/W access, open your file manager and set /system to R/W. It's painless.
- If you install any other mods, DO NOT wipe your Dalvik Cache. This may cause the Acer Ring to not function properly, resulting in re-installation of the ROM.
- Volume. Notice that you now have 2 volume controls because of Acer Ring. If you do not have initial volume, please check the Acer Ring volume.
- Acer Print. This has not been tested, as I lack a compatible printer.
- Ad-Hoc should work. If not, try alternative patch at end of post.
- Titanium Back-Up users. I do not use this app, so results may not work correctly with ICS and HC Apps. Do not restore Data from TB, and expect me to support it. TB only really works, when you reinstall the exact same rom.
- Reporting Issues: If you get a FC on an Installed App that comes with the ROM, I may be able to help.
- Games. I cannot promise all games will work. Nobody can. The best way, is to download the game fresh before installing any other apps.
- Phone Apps. Don't even bother reporting it.
- ROM Manager... see above ^
Thanks and hope you enjoy it!

I am very glad that you are prepared and have the firmware-based ICS, use your firmware back to Alexandra III rev 1.1. The only thing I would like to achieve stable 3g connection, but then of course have to wait for the next course of Acer.
will download this thing in the morning, and test it with ics bootloader v3. i don't think there will be much problem.

HA! On your way home, I suggest to stop by the Liquor store, grab a bottle, then stop by a sport shop, grab a "jock strap". Reason is, you still have to update your Bootloader if you have not done so already.
I run Ver2 of the patched bootloader, but I hear ver3 is ok also. So you may want to NVFlash ver3 as it has the Fastboot enabled.
Big Note: With ver3, they have a modified CWM to use. The old "it's magic" is no longer required with the version3. At least to my knowledge. If I am wrong, somebody please correct me.

If you enjoy nightly builds but find all the steps necessary to flash a burden like me, you would be glad that I have achieved OTA updates for UNOFFICIAL builds. I have put together an OTA script that checks every hour for latest build and passes that download link as JSON response to CM Updater OTA app in settings. Example response:
Code:
{"id":null,"result":[{"incremental":null,"api_level":"23","url":"https:\\...\cm-12.1-20150603-UNOFFICIAL serranodsxx.zip","timestamp":"1433289600","mdsum":"23dcbc0c2ba6474f64566adde9d1f6d5","changes":null,"channel":"nightly","filename":"cm-12.1-20150603-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsxx.zip"}],"error":null}
The server :
Supports basketbuild and androidfilehost hosted builds.
Is a free host, with 87% uptime.
Does not host builds
Does not build deltas
Builds flashable zip for every ota supported
You must have TWRP recovery for ota's to work. If you don't have it, you can get it from HERE.
If you don't want TWRP on your device, you can manual flash updates from sdcard0/cmupdater with CWM or Philz.
Flash OTA zip for your device and build from http://ota.heliohost.org/zips/, you don't need to flash the zip again after an ota update as it is included in addon.d so it is restored after flash.
*files with _launcher add Updater to appdrawer (useful for non CM builds that don't have Updates in settings>About)
*files with _settings are CM stock
Server changelog:
new script. Once every 2 hours, generates response and zip for 10 builds in less than 30 seconds.
removed ota limit.
changed host.
set androidfilehost.com link limit to 5. [1/5 used]
added androidfilehost.com support.
changed build limit from 2 to 30. [7/30 used]
more optimization.
initial release.
If you want to host your own server [only one build supported], you can find the lite script for basketbuild and androidfilehost in attachments. Just add at first line $raw_url="your build's folder url" . I've added all functions in one file to be easy to set up. Just upload index.php to a folder in your host and set the link to that folder with the options bellow.
There are two ways to route OTA app to your server.
Open CMupdater.apk with hexeditor, search for https://download.cyanogenmod.org/api and replace it with the link to your server(Use Paste-Replace not Paste-Insert), then add that apk to OTA_template.zip from attachments in system/priv-app/CMUpdater.
Add cm.updater.uri= 'your server link' on your own build.prop file.
Thank you:
CyanogenMod for their work on OTA app.
k2wl for integrating my server link in your source.
All devs for keeping our devices updated.
julianxhokaxhiu for the insight on how the CMUpdater works.

If you like my work, please consider donating.
Cheers !
To do:
Will update zip with addon.d to backup CMUpdater.apk at ota flash so that there will be no need to flash updater again. DONE!
If you want more features, post.
For security and performance concern, I decided not to add control panel for users to freely add builds to server. Just ask and if possible I will add the requested build to server.
Info:
This method can be used by any device or android version. Current zip builder makes zip only for lollipop, but if requested, I can add support for KitKat as well.

that way we can add aicp /cm to this script
Hey @BioGenX Thanks for your effort. I have few queries.
I am on F4K latest 12.1 CM for DUOS(9192) version with F4K kernel and I have flashed your OTA ZIP and now updates menu on setting options work, though no updates are shown as there is no update now.
What is the script for for? Is it of any interest of normal use or only for Devs?
Secondly on updates being available will the entire ROM get downloaded or it will only be an incremental update.
Lastly for CWM recovery users, since you have told that only TWRP us supported, please tell is where the update zip will be stored so that we may manually flash it through C also.
Lastly thanks again.

!This acts as official but is not official. The builds are downloaded from basketbuild.
This will work only if builds are uploaded to basketbuild.com.
The way the script works:
1. You give it basketbuild link ('https://basketbuild.com/devs/k2wl/cm12.1_i9192')
2. Searches .html for latest build ('https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=k2wl&dl=k2wl/cm12.1_i9192/cm-12.1-20150601-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsdd.zip')
3. Provides direct download link (''https://basketbuild.com/dl/devs?dev=k2wl&dl=k2wl/cm12.1_i9192/cm-12.1-20150601-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsdd.zip) (replaces 'filedl' in link with 'dl')
3. Searches MD5 from .html
4. Passes MD5
5. Converts date from filename to unix time to get build time (This is what tells the OTA app if it's a new update)
To get any build you like you just change first link in script.
If you upload AICP to basketbuild I can add a script for it as well and make apk for it

The server script can be used for personal use. First time I used it was on my OPENWRT router. After 2-3 week test I decided to share as it is stable.
The OTA app download entire rom. For incremental it's more complicated and and you need builds on server.
For this you need to implement a REST server. Can find more details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636334
The files downloaded by CMUpdated are stored in Internal Storage/cmupdater/

This script only works with basketbuild.com. But if K2WL uploads AICP on basketbuild in the future, i can make a script for it too.
Also please don't ask to implement it for Androidfilehost.com as it doesn't provide MD5. Without MD5 you can't flash OTA.

Although my rom is based on latest june 3rd 2015, I see there's an update cm-12.1-20150603-unofficial , And I don't know if I should flash it because it's same date of rom i'm currently using....

Did you flash v1.1_OTA_CM12.1_F4k_serranotexx.zip ?
It shows that you have connection with the server. If there is a check mark next to the available update you can't/ don't need to download/flash as you already have the latest version. If you have something like a rectangle with an arrow, I think you flashed the zip for DUOS version.

oops....I prob. did Thank you for the explanantion.
I think I'll need to go back to an earlier rom, Since I see some functionality problems are still in Cm12.1 (Suddenly back and options front led key does not respond.....Happend to me before on cm 12/12.1 roms......
If devs would add their name in ro.cm.version in build.prop (ex. from: 12.1-20150603-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsxx to 12.1-20150603-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsxx-BioGenX) there will only be one zip needed for all devices and builds as the server would identify your device and build when you request a check for updates.

I had this problem a wile back. The way I clean install is by cleaning /system, /cache, /data and internal storage. This did fix it for me. Also if you flash an older version and use OTA to update, please post if it worked for you as maybe all the users that used this already have the latest version and I only checked it for DUOS, but there is no reason for it not to work. all i did was change the link to server and add basketbuild links for your device in to the server
I freshly installed about 20 times different roms for the past 2 weeks and even clean installed as you did,But it didn't solve it (I did most installed because of some shut down battery issues i have - But it's prob. the battery itself....)
It's ok, I'll use 10.2 for a while until cm12.1 will get some of the bugs gone.
Thank you very much Bio-G for the help you provided

OTA for androidfilehost.com
Good news!
I did some research on androidfilehost.com. It seems they provide an api for direct download and they do generate MD5.
At the time of my post the site is offline, but once it's online I can begin work on my script to support androidfilehost.com as well.
Will update until today/tomorrow OTA's all the UNOFFICIAL lollipop builds for our device if all goes well.
Cheers !
Server may be buggy/offline for today as I am working to optimize the code even more and try to implement androidfilehost.ro in the script
Cheers!
Hey guys! Guess what? I'm currently busy on porting the Android N Developer Preview 2 ROM from the Xperia Z3 to Z2! Hope this turns out stable!
Here is the Download link to the ROM below:
Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/hp8fnbbxkbb4f/Android N Xperia Z2
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
For anyone or everyone saying that I'm, or that this OP is a troll, please stop. This is a WIP, and the ROM did indeed work (when I still had my PC.) I did follow a ROM port guide the first time when it was successful, but now I don't know which one it is. I have contacted some ROM porters for help so I guess that I should wait for an answer to let them help me port it. And for this ROM, it's NOT for stable use yet. This is just for people wanting to test and see if it works at all. If you have your PC at the moment then please and try to fix it yourself. (I'll add you to credits.) Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience, but please don't call me a troll becuase I'm not! �� Cheers.
BUT BEFORE DOWNLOAD, READ THE STEPS BELOW. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE BRICKS ETC. THIS ROM IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER PHONES ONLY HAVING MODEL NUMBER OF D6503.
Better safe then sorry. Create a ROM backup of your device in TWRP before installing the ROM in Recovery! Download ZipMe from the Play Store to backup some of your important data!
1: Download all of the files that you want to flash from the link given above and place them in the Root of your sdcard.
3: Download the updater-script FOR ROM FIX file and rename the file to updater-script.
4: Extract the ROM and replace the updater-script from the one you downloaded earlier with the one in the ROM (META-INF/google/com/android folder I think.). REZIP the ROM.
5: Reboot into recovery. Click on Wipe then "Adcanced Wipe." Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cach, System, Data, and Internal Storage.
6: Go back after finished. Flash the Android N ROM, then the Optional files. (Root, Media Apps, & And Smoother Boot Animation, backed up data etc.)
7: Flash the custom Kernel. (Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413)
8: Reboot and Enjoy!!!
If anything isn't working or your stuck in a bootloop, try and flash the bootloop fix file from here: https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
If your still stuck in a bootloop, then the ROM may not be compatible with your device. Use Flashtool to flash back to Lollipop/Marshmallow and wait for a ROM that's compatible with your Phone.

BTW this ROM is different from the one i installed. i have managed and tried to fix some issues like the camera, but if anything isn't working then just please report it. Thanks.!
Below Are Some Problems That You May Encounter.
-The Multi-Window is EXTREMELY laggy.
-Some apps don't work such as the Beta Program App Settings. (But then again, it's expected from a port. XD)
-Recovery (TWRP) may no longer work. You can try and install a Kernel and Recovery your self, but be sure to make a Backup before risking your phone into a Bootloop.
-My Bootloader is unlocked, so I HIGHLY recommend only flashing this ROM if you have a Unlocked Bootloader. If not, wait for a Locked Bootloader version!
-No more Sony Media Apps (Walkman Music, Album, Video etc.) after flashing ROM, so flash the Sony Media Apps zip after ROM to restore the Media Apps.
-The Boot Animation is EXTREMLY slow and laggy, (5-8fps) so please flash the Smoother Boot Animation zip after ROM flashed to ensure a smoother, 30fps Boot Animation.
I haven't encountered any other problems as of now, but I will update the list if I find a bug! And once I receive a problem or bug, I will try to patch it and upload it as a Flashable zip file to fix the bug. A Screenshot of Home Screen from Z2 Android N ROM is attached below...
Once the link is given and doesn't work on your device, just tell me the problem that it's going through, give me your device details, (LB or UB device, Model number, IMEI etc.) and I'll double check the ROM and will try to make supported for your device!
As you can see in the screenshot attachment down below, i have changed some of my icons (like the app icons and status bar icons) back to stock Xperia. I wasn't a BIG fan of all of the AOSP icons.

The upload link will be available around 3 May 2016 since i can't upload now due to TERRIBLE Upload speed. next week will have access to much faster upload speeds and I will upload the download link then. Thanks for comment!

The ROM is working pretty good so far. It isn't 100% fast and stable but it works pretty well. For the bugs, the camera is most of the time unresponsive (Probably because I forgot to change the camera settings and stuff before installing it.) The camera also sometimes force closes. As for the Multi-Window, it's almost totally unusable but I think this is because of the CPU and not the ROM. And some apps also don't work at all, such as the Beta Program App Settings, The Notification bar glitching too small etc. Hopefully i will fix these bugs before final upload! Fingers crossed. X0

Download the FTF via Xperifirm. MM's version number ends in .570.
Then flash using Flashtool. You can choose to wipe or not to wipe data if you're coming from stock lollipop. Just uncheck 'wipe data'. If you follow the steps properly, you should have a smooth upgrade to MM!
Also - could you release a version without the edited status bar icons etc?
Multiwindow maybe working when edit buildprop debug to userdebug ?
This is crazy, only few weeks after the official mm ROM we be gettin Android N. I'm hella shocked right now. We own it to my bruh Brandon

good job！！！
Hi. First thank you for doing this.
You could provide us some information what you did with the N Z3 build to make it work on Z2 so we can reproduce it. I guess you used the Z3 system image and replaced the kernel with a Z2 one. What else was needed to make it work?
Thank you very much.

A MESSAGE TO SONY:
Dear Sony,
It was never my intention to publish a hack for your devices. But... It also was never my intention to buy a device for which I have no control. I find it impertinent to forbid the customer to root a purchased smartphone. I would not have made the effort, if at least the standard functions of the camera could have used. I paid ~750 euros and got a non-functioning camera because I want to have full control of my device. If at least the Camera2 API would have been opened, in order to be able to use other camera apps with full resolution, a hack would not have been necessary. But even with that you are fooling your customers. The only reason I have spent so much time and nerves is that I wanted to have a functioning debloated device with root.
Okay, let's go...
First we need some good music: HERE
##### WARNING: ########
Please note that the modification can result in a loss of warranty. I accept no responsibility for any damage that may occur and do not guarantee the functionality of the modifications. I have created this modification for myself and I just want to make it available to other users. If you have no idea of these things, please keep your fingers away. This hack may - in case of incorrect application - destroy your phone. Please keep to the instructions and report errors right here in the thread.
##### INFO: ###########
I' m providing a complete guide here, explaining how to unlock and root the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. In addition, I offer my hack for the DRM problem. You can root your device and still use the full functionality of the camera. Please note: DON'T flash the fix of other devices/versions to your phone! There are patched system files in my fix, which are only for the related phone/version! I will create different patches for other devices and firmware versions in the future!
Sony has worked on the newer devices on the security functions and made it more difficult to crack the DRM protection. Hidden checks were implemented to make cracking more difficult. The old DRMfix by Tobias Waldvogel no longer works with newer devices. I therefore spent a lot of time (a few weeks) and cracked the protection. Since this was my first time with Sony and I had previously no experience with it, it was a very hard job for me. But okay... finally I did it. And here are my 5 cents...
##### INSTRUCTIONS: #####
Before you start: PLEASE CHECK THE RIGHT VERSION OF YOUR FIRMWARE!!!
Settings -> About the phone -> Model & Build number
Don't flash anything that doesn't match your build!
+++++++++ UPDATE +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I created a tool "XperiFIX" which can do the magic for you.
See it in action...
If you nevertheless want to do it manually on Nougat, the old instructions and downloads are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74426201&postcount=285
1. Unlock your bootloader
Visit: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ Choose "Xperia XZ" from the list of the devices (only if your device isn't listed) and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader. Please note, that as soon as you unlock your device, your unique device keys are lost (forever!) and there is NO way back anymore!
2. Use XperiFIX to get what you want
1. Download, install and start "XperiFIX" (as administrator!)
2. Hold down the VolumeUP(+) key only and plug the USB cable to PC and mobile phone until the LED is blue.
3. Read the warning and check the checkbox
4. Click "Fix my device!" button in XperiFIX
5. Now the tool will do it's magic! Please be patient, it can take a few minutes!
Note: If TWRP ask you if the system partition should be mounted read-only, then swipe to the right to allow modifications!
6. If all is done, the device should restart.
7. Check your security status, configuration and camera.
8. Donate me a pizza or some toys for my little son, hehe...
Congratulations!
You now have an unlocked, rooted XZ Premium with my DRMpatch and can use your camera and other functions again without ugly green pictures! Wohoooo... Easy going, huh?
Let's be quiet for a moment and imagine the faces of the developers, who wanted to prevent a DRMfix with the new firmware versions and complex encapsulated security functions:
Cheers!
//sToRm (Heiko Frenzel)
##### FAQ: ################
Can this patch bring back the device key?
No! It simulates the key and a locked device without root. If you unlock and root your device, the unique device key is gone forever! There is not turning back!
Can I use another kernel with this patch?
Yes, but only with Xperifix 2.0 and above. It will patch the ramdisk of the kernel automaticly.
Can I use the patch for other devices or versions?
No! Please don't try this! In my patch I had to fix a system file which is different between the devices and versions. If you flash the wrong version, it could brick your phone! I will create other versions of my patch for other devices, too. So be patient!
TWRP freezes and nothing happens, what should I do?
Please check if you have the correct driver for your device, installed on your PC.
I already rooted my device. Can I use XperiFIX, too?
Yes. If you used Magisk before, you can use XperiFIX without problems. Because XperiFIX will flash a new kernel which isn't pre-rooted. After that XperiFIX will flash Magisk, which will recognize your last Magisk installation. It will patch the new kernel ramdisk and all is fine. Your Magisk old settings will be there, too. If you want to use SuperSU, you can't use XperiFIX, because it's not implemented yet and I personally won't install and test it cause Magisk is running perfect on Nougat and Oreo, too!
I used XperiFIX but it gives me an error and now my device is in a bootloop!
That's not good dude. Please report what exactly you did, with all informations about your device. I will check it. To get a working device again, you can flash the firmware with Newflasher 10+.
My device doesn't respond, nothing works, it stucks in a bootloop, I can't power off?!
Just hold the VolumeUP(+) key together with the Power key. Wait until the device vibrates 3 times (!). Now it's completely off. Then you can try to go in Fastboot mode again to flash or use XperiFIX.
I have a problem, what can I do?
If your question can't be answered here in the FAQ, please post your report. Be sure to give all needed informations. Which device, which firmware version, what you exactly did, ... Without details, nobody can help you!
What does the fox say?
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! ^^

Freaking great work! Congrats on achieving this finally!
Some thoughts on your instructions: TWRP is officially supported for G8141, why not just use that?
If your patch contains patches system files wouldn't it make sense to create a simple magisk module, to keep it systemless?
thaks a lot 4 your work, how about oreo? here the kernel version is 4.4.78, will it work with your patch? Vielen Dank im Voraus )

It's just a modified kernel and a patch for a system file. The ROM is stock, the kernel is 99,9% stock. It has no effect to Camera2Api.
Hopefully modders like you will convince Sony and other OEMs to get their heads out of their arses and stop wasting time and money (both ours and theirs) with stupid $hit like these.

All Xiaomi users suffer from a single problem, Firmware update. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Firmware? Is it a full ROM or OTA package?
Firmware is not a ROM nor OTA Package, it's a set of low-level drivers which helps the operating system do whatever it wants to do. It includes various things like Modem, Bluetooth, Bootloader, DSP and etc.
Why should I update the Firmware?
Firmware is provided from Xiaomi directly, and there are no sources for it to let developers build and edit it on their own like custom ROMs, so if you want to keep your device up to date always update your firmware!
Do I need updating the Firmware If I'm MIUI official or custom ROM user?
No, MIUI ROMs contain the firmware-update package which I extract and provide here.

I have no device too. But i wait for global Version. But i will flash los. Therefore i gather info whether there is los for mi8.
Because of there is a twrp.

devs also might be waiting for the bootloader unlock which can be 15 days after they've received the device

Nope, these firmware updates are for custom ROMs users. Because miui users get it with system updates automatically

No need to use any tool. Flash from internal Updater. Or sell the phone.
