About ROM:
This is Experiemental Build of Android 8.0 Oreo for Sony Xperia Z (C6602, C6603), Based on LineageOS.
Thanks To:
Mardon
What's working:
* ROM is experiemental and is not recommended for daily usage *
* Now we have working Audio *
I have not tested whole rom but everything works fine except:
- Flashlight and Camera
- Adaptive Brightness
Please report any bugs in the comments below!
(Special) Install Instructions for Newbies:
Warning: If you flash ROM first time do it at your own risk, You may brick device.
Before resuming remember these things:
- You can't restore TA codes on a custom ROM, TA codes only work on Stock ROMs, So if you ever reflash Stock ROM you can restore them.
- If you're Windows 8/8.1 or 10 User this Tutorial may not work for you as long as you've done This Tutorial
- Read everything Carefully, I wish you Good Luck
1.0 - Backing up TA Codes
- First you need an unlocked bootloader, But before unlocking it you have to backup DRM keys (Optional)
- Download KingoRoot, Root your device with One-Click-Root and then Download Backup-TA Program from Here
1.1 - Unlock Bootloader
- After you've done that, Unlock your bootloader from Here
1.2 - Preparing Drivers
- After you unlock your bootloader Install Sony Flashtool from Here
- Go to Flashtool Folder then go Drivers folder and select Flashtool-drivers.exe
Check the Fastboot and Flashmode drivers then Scrool down and find Xperia Z SO-02E drivers, Check it and Install them.
1.3 - Installing ADB
- Now it's time to download ADB 15 Seconds Installer from Here
Follow the instructions in the program and Install ADB/Fastboot drivers, then locate "C:/adb" folder and open it.
- Download Latest TWRP 3.1.1 from Here and move into adb folder located in "C:/adb"
- Rename TWRP 3.1.1 file to twrp (If your file extensions are shown twrp.img)
- As long as you can't flash TWRP directly as Recovery you must flash it as boot, Your ROM won't start again so back up everything before restarting to ADB!
- After you back up everything just enable USB debugging in your phone (go Settings/About and press Build Number couple times)
- Press Back button and go to Developer Settings and find USB Debugging, Enable it.
- Now go to "C:/adb" and press and hold SHIFT, Then press RMB (Right Mouse Button) and press open command window here.
- Congratulations! Now you're in adb.
1.4 - Flashing TWRP
- Write next ADB Commands:
adb devices (so you will check your device is detected by ADB or not, If adb shows any number row and then DEVICE its okay, If it doesn't then just write):
adb reboot bootloader (Look at your phone and give permissions of USB Debugging to PC, If phone reboots it means you've done everything correctly, If it doesn't then you did something wrong!)
- Well if the phone rebooted you will see blue led in the top of your phone, That means you're in a bootloader!
Write next commands:
fastboot devices (And check your device is detected by fastboot or not, same thing it will show number row and then FASTBOOT, So you did everything correctly, If it doesn't check your installed drivers, You may have little update from Device Manager so comment down below, If drivers are installed wrong and you don't see device number and FASTBOOT just restart phone and wait for the answer in the comments)
- If you see your device number and FASTBOOT enter next commands:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
- After you've done that and you see that it has flashed without any Errors write next command:
fastboot reboot
- Now you're in TWRP recovery, Congratulations !!
1.5 - CleanFlashing ROM
- If you backed up everything just see if your computer detects your phone's MTP (media file transfer)
Go to My Computer/Xperia Z and see is there Internal Storage or not
- If There is any Storage that's good so make a Fully Clean Install
- Go back in the main menu of TWRP press Wipe, Advanced Wipe and check: Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Internal Storage, Then swipe to wipe.
- After you wiped your phone go back to the main menu of TWRP, Enter your internal storage folder from your PC and move ROM, Gapps and Rootkit in there.
- After that Press Install, You'll see lineageos, gapps and rootkit in the TWRP so press lineageos file and swipe to flash.
- Then go back (Don't Reboot) and press gapps file, flash it as you flashed lineageos.
- Go back again and flash Rootkit but when it's finished just press wipe dalvik cache and swipe to wipe it!
- After you've done that press Reboot phone.
- Congratulations!! Wait for 10 minute to boot and enjoy your new Android 8.0.0 Oreo!
1.0-2 - Troubleshooting
- If you want to install any other Custom ROMs just resume this tutorial from ADB (adb reboot bootloader) And do the same.
- If ROM doesn't boot up that means you did something incorrectly, So you have to do next steps:
Long Press Power Button and Volume UP, After it vibrates it will vibrate three more times and then release so your phone will shut down.
Get your USB Cable which's connected to PC and hold Volume UP, then connect USB Cable into phone
- You're in a fastboot, resume tutorial from (fastboot flash boot twrp.img)
- If you flashed ROM again and still doesn't work change your gapps version and download gApps-Pico
- Then it will work 100%, Or you can flash LineageOS14.1 and wait for Stable Oreo build.
- Thank you for attention, do it at your own risk and good luck
Downloads:
MOD EDIT: Download link removed.
Download the gApps (ARM, 8.0, Pico)
Download Rootkit if you want (I've tested Magisk and works fine)
- Links updated & No more error7 in TWRP
Short Install Instructions:
Move the ROM/GAPPS/ROOTKIT on your SDCARD
Flash latest TWRP (If you have old version already reflash it using flash image)
Wipe Cache, Data, Dalvik cache and System
Flash ROM
Flash gApps
Flash Rootkit
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot!
- First boot may take some time for optimizing apps, bootanimation may have a little lag, be patient and wait.

I can tell you why. Because you posted it without even asking. This happened a month ago too. Please stop that. It is annoying and delays LOS15 for fusion3 because people have to deal with this sh**.

I am using custom rom and my device model is Xperia Z , it is possible to not verify my phone like c6603 and then the installation fails. See on the screen shots

ill explain u smth this rom is shared and doesnt require any rights to post on websites, also people must have single oreo rom for this phone to try how its like, plus i made whole tutorial of newbies now i think they wont get in problems, also everyone knowns that this is experimental testbuild, but LOSTEAM still want to share only stable.. i think differently, i think people can see how oreo really is, whats the differences and etc.. by themselves. stop it, im not gonna delete rom again.

Yes, you are right here - LineageOS can be built from source.

Not quite correct - you still need to stick to the XDA rules (see rule 12).
You need to accept the fact that the developers of the ROM don't want to release half-baked builds or unfinished work (even if it's open source). Don't we all want a stable daily driver after all?

Thank you very much sir, I forgot this. Now remember it thanks again[emoji257]

I can't seem to get the interface to navigate any of the partitions or data directories.
If I move the supersu zip to the phone, I can't find it at all, if I try to mount an sd card, it mounts the wrong file contents somehow.
Something is wonky with the disks

does support SM G610Y?

Working fine.

For ppl having trouble to mount internal memory follow these steps:
You have to first Flash TWRP Recovery From Odin
Then on TWRP go to Advance>Wipe And Press Format Data And Type Yes
Then your Internal storage will be able to mount while connected to the PC
And you can now drag zips to flash on your Internal memory via PC
Running perfect on my G610Y

TWRP changelog : Here
Working/Bugs : Need to press power button two times for touch to work
Please do read the installation guide note !
IMPORTANT NOTE :
1. At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda
2. Encryption is enabled by default
3. If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data
Installation Guide :
1. Make sure you have unlocked bootloader
2. Reboot to bootloader
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxx.img (if you want permanent flash) or
fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img (if you want temporary boot)

Last Updated 2018-02-03

I've been using this today to set up my phone fresh. I created a backup, installed stock twrp flashable rom, installed magisk, and magisk module zips all just fine.
Thanks for this.

Trying to set up my new Moto Z2 Play today.
I just unlocked the bootloader, so I'm good there. I wanted to install Magisk and leave it mostly stock. If I was going to just "fastboot boot twrp.img'' (instead of flashing) can I use this TWRP or should I just follow the instructions and use the TWRP version in this other thread?
Is this version more functional?
Would I be able to make a backup if I boot the TWRP instead of flashing?
Can I use the SD Card/internal storage with this version or do I have to still use the OTG cable and a flash drive to hold the DM Verity and Magisk ZIPs?

Hi,
I tried several times to backup my StockROM before modification, but TWRP always stuck at "Updating Partition Details". Any ideas what to do to solve this Problem? By the way, I just booted into TWRP, didn't flash it to my device. Thx

my experience is, you have to flash TWRP.
I don't think it has the necessary read/write permissions to do a full backup otherwise.

3.1.2_r18 version released. Check download link in OP

hi guys.
I successed to twrp temporary boot.
Successed to full backup (with all check).
Is it safe for permanent flash twrp right now?
p/s: After backup success, I reboot my phone and check TWRP folder but nothing here
so why?

fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img
freeze at teamwin logo
O flash twrp and its ok

I'm trying to flash, but it show me

But Temporary boot works fine, how do I fix that.
Bootloader was unlocked.
On restarting, it show me BAD KEY. is it normal?

Did you do a FULL backup including your EFS?
IF so try it and see, I haven't tried the Lineage build yet, still too many bugs.
but so long as you backup you shouldn't be afraid to explore.

Tks. I did a full backup .
tks again.
I will try now.

I make a full backup, so can I restore that backup file after LineageOS?

This works when go command fastboot boot .... ?

I'm having an issue... I've successfully flashed r18, but it cannot seem to mount the data partition. It fails to mount (just hangs for a moment when you check the box next to data), fails to wipe (Could not mount/data and unable to find crypto footer... Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)).
Never mind... I just tried it a 3rd time and it worked. Not sure what's going on there.
**OK** Now, I've flashed the Unofficial LOS and OpenGapps from the thread by OP, following all instructions, and the phone boots to recovery every time I try to boot to system...

Recent success, z2 Play XT1710-06
Just to add to the success stories: A newly-purchased Moto z2 Play, variant XT1710-06 dual SIM, Android 7.1.1, RETLA release channel, build NPSS26.118-19-1-6. My object was to install root only, not (at this time) do any custom ROM flashes.
With this in mind: I used TWRP-3.2.1-0(Albus) after doing the initial bootloader unlock. Quirks noted during install was that I needed to repeat the 'fastboot flash recovery' option 3-4 times to get TWRP to stay put in the 'recovery' partition. Also, as an experiment, I tried renaming the TWRP image to 'recovery.img' (which seems to help).
Once TWRP was in place, I downloaded and installed the most current Magisk (v16). It worked perfectly, the first time, no issues at all (and it even knew to install its management app on its own). Despite my initial leanings, I chose not to try SuperSU due mainly to the developer changes at Chainfire HD (original developer retired, product bought up by some unnamed Chinese group).
Now I get to reinstall all my apps... (sigh). Such is the price of getting the phone we Really Want...
I hope this makes life easier for others.
Keep the peace(es).

i did and it worked, but.... when i install system.img of rom, it says no os on system.. sure you want to reboot?

everything functions correctly(mtp,brightness,touch,decryption) but couldn't root with magisk(both with recovery provided one and the official one) it flashes, but when i turn on device and open the magisk manager app, it shows no root. and tried flashing gsi (to super partition) messed up the partition table. didn't try backup. couldn't find a way to wipe system, there was no system entry. couldn't mount it either

flashing magisk to get root works but you'll have to use the latest 21.2 version
I have tried to flash all the magisk version but only 21.2 gave me root
download from here https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

i can not edit system files from any root explorer

several forum post suggested that editing system files is hard in android 10
any way to do that?
(and in magisk log it says that unlock failed with error 13 permission denied)

You can't modify system in recovery because of dynamic partition

Try this way

Wooww!! It worked fine for me... But just to install recovery. I can't root with magisk. No with 21.2 or 21.4 versions, cause the phone goes into bootloop.
No way with supersu.
I'm in MIUI 12.0.10.0 QCDEUXM
Is there anybody who can help me, please?

t's sad, but it doesn't feel pressed . the touchscreen doesn't work(

So TB-8504F has a touchscreen issue where you need to sleep and wakeup recovery after it boots for touch to work. Like what @ZONTAC mentioned earlier. I was able to fix it on TWRP 3.6.2 that I built for testing. I would imagine it would work for PBRP as well. It does not affect TB-8504X which is why its not commonly seen. The F variant is not as popular. I have not tested it on 8504X mind you but I don't think that flag will be needed by it.

This flag kills the Himax touch until you lock and unlock on TB-8504F but strangely does not affect TB-8504X

Your recovery advertises that it supports both variants. That patch will fix the issue on TB-8504F, it should not change anything on TB-8504X but I don't have that version to confirm.

If you have build so i can test it on my tab(8504x)

Do You have any idea?
Freshly flashed stock, there everything works, but I cannot flash any ROM - tried both crDroid, RR and Ubuntu. Always same error.
Strange is it mounts system at first... And after formatting it can be mounted again, but than I got error, cos no image is there to be patched, I believe?

Follow proper processor
In your case :- if you are coming from stock , 1. mount system in stock recovery
2.flash pbrp/twrp
3. do factory wipe(or reset)
4. do advance wipe in which wipe system, cache, delvick ,data
5.after that flash system
6. Still having problem try d/f twrp or contact rom dev

Did a test boot without flashing. System starts but hangs on many tasks, even restarting to other modes hangs the system. My device reports as tb_8504x. I had problem with flashing through TWRP so I wanted to try PBRB.

Hello, I got PBRP to boot into recovery, I have OEM bootloader unlocked and USB debugging enabled. I'm trying to completely format the tablet to install LineageOS 18. When I wipe the process gets stuck on "Formatting system using mke2fs". It's been on it for about an hour now. Is that normal? The device is responsive. I can hold the power button down and get reboot options. I can force a reboot and get back into the recovery and try again but each time it gets halted at the format stage. What should I do?
