Some time ago I've unlocked my bootloader, installed LineageOS and discovered many things don't work as expected. Then I reverted to the 6.0 Stock Image I found on Mobile Fimware Center.
Unfortunately that caused my phone not to update to Android 7.0 Nougat. After the preprocessing of the installation the installation stopped with an error shortly after the bootloader started.
So I need two stock-images: the 7.0-image for my XT1602-model to update to Nougat manually and the old 6.0-image to revert back to 6.0 if the update doesn't work; the latter image isn't on Mobile Firmware Center any more.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver
Hi guys! I have a galaxy s7 G930W8 (Canadian version). I've been trying to install Kali Nethunter for a couple weeks now. The only real requirement i need is Touchwiz 6.0.1. So first I tried using odin to flash the stock marshmallow firmware. Replacing the CP file usually broke my Bell service so i leave that empty and only flash the AP. But the Camera doesn't work. Next I tried Hydrarom 1.4, and again, everything working except the camera.
Right now I'm running Lineage Os, running nougat. Camera works. Same thing for stock Nougat firmware. Camera works. I guess what I'm looking for is a rom that is still being updated because hydrarom and stock marshmallow firmwares are from 2016. I heard about "Jesse's Note 7 rom for s7", but all the downloads seem to be broken. I even tried looking for the old lineage 13 but i'm unable to find that too.
Do you guys have any ideas? Rom suggestions? I enjoy the fully debloated roms without google or samsung. Thanks!
Hello to all.
I need to ask here because Sony Forums sucks, so here the people has more knowledge
My phone is:
- G8142
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Android Nougat 7.1.1 installed from Sony Flashtool CE1 Firmware .137
- Kernel and drm patch from Xperifix
- Magisk 16.0
I installed (weeks ago) Android Oreo firmware Generic Lam, CE1 .75 till .145 (this last one not trying with CE1 firmware) downloaded from xperifirm and flash with newflasher v10 and v11, but somehow after flashing firmware, kernel (androplus) TWRP, DRM Patch, magisk, etc is working fine until a few hours (between 6 - 12 hours since boot and connected to network) wifi dropping can't reconnect, data is dead, voice call is dead too is very annoying because i have to restart de phone, tested with all oreo stock firmware to the latest even with locked bootloader had same problems (.75), i thought that unlocking BL was the problem or magisk but for some reason in Nougat i don't have any problems, none, zero. Some people in sony forums have problems with wifi, others with data, other with both, so my question, what would be the problem?
Greeting and Cheers.
You say your phone is Nougat in the bullet points, then say you've installed Oreo in the next paragraph. Which are you on right now?
You also said you're rooted with the DRM patch, then installed Oreo 'generic' firmware. I'd imagine if you are trying to install the stock Oreo firmware from Sony over a rooted and patched Nougat base, that may be causing you the problems if it installs at all.
More complete information might help others give you some advice.

Hi, actually use nougat 7.1.1, but few weeks ago I flashed Sony firmware oreo (with newflasher) since. 75 to. 145 from scratch (no ota) to test adding DRM patch and magisk but all Oreo firmware failed in WiFi, data, voice, so, how Oreo is not for me right now I decide to flash nougat, that's how my question was born, why with Oreo firmware I'm having those problems?

That's my point. If you were already rooted and patched and you tried installing the stock firmware from Sony, that's going to cause you potential problems. Why don't you try flashing the Turbo or Carbon ROMs if you want to try Oreo and keep root?
Recently installed lineageOS 20 on my oneplus 8T but i had to unbrick the phone mid-installation with "OnePlus_8T_EU_OxygenOS_11.0.7.10" unbricker.
Everything installed normally and is working fine but now i am wondering about the massive warning on lineageOS website about android 13 firmware versions.
Is there a way to check that i am indeed running the correct firmware, or should i assume its fine because it's working normally?
The only problem i have encountered is the auto-brightness not working (if you know how to fix this i'll be very grateful <3)
Thank you in advance.
You could try reflashing just the firmware to be sure
Hi, I've installed Lineage Os 20 on my OP Nord, but I noticed that some apps are blocked by safetyNet (banking apps mostly). I was wondering how to install the stock rom and block the bootloader again.
Thanks.
