Help getting back to android 10 - Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers

Hi guys.
New to this forum.
Been searching through the threads but really struggling to work this out.
I bought this phone because it was great for COD mobile. Worked perfectly with my dualshock 4 controller now after the latest 11 update the buttons are messed up. Figured Sony would have fixed this considering they sell the phone with advertising specifically for this gane, oh and they make the controller as well! Madness!
Anyway I've tried using newflasher to get back to the last 10 update but with no luck. Presumably because of the rollback protection in 11. I did manage it once but that was on the first update this new one just won't do it.
Is there anyway of maybe wiping the OS and flashing a new clean install of android 10?
Worried about rooting because I don't really want to lose my warranty or any features (or screw the phone up) Don't think it's possible without doing that but would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer!
Thanks

Hey I go back from 11 to 10 with this rom:
Sony Xperia 5 II | XperiaFirmware.com
xperiafirmware.com
I have used newflasher and IT worked.

Thanks for the info.
I tried quite a few times but it wouldnt go back for some reason. It did work from the first A11 update but once you update to the latest one you cant go back at all.
Luckily it looks like they've worked the problem out between themselves and controller now works with COD and better than before!

Thank you Bellitsch89. Got a bootloop with Magisk and 58.1.A.5.330. Installed Android 10, and Magisk works.

You made my day! Yesterday I bought this nice piece of Hardware and spent around 12 hours (reading almost all tutorials in the whole internet) to install Magisk on a XQ52-AS52 58.1.A.5.330 (Android 11). No chance at all.
After downgrading to 58.0.A.28.51 it works very well. Thank you a lot!

Will the firmware on the link work on a XQ-AS62? I have been looking to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 10. Thanks!

[Q] Note Edge SM-N915G

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.
My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"
Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms
Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Yupp didnt see the firmswares section when i first check, its alive again... now wheres the source
Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.
As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

Honor 8 (UK) update to Android 7.0/Nougat?

Hi all,
I'm from the UK and have the Honor 8, was wondering when I might be receving the Android 7.0/Nougat update?
Reason being, I've bought the phone and don't want to start using it until the update is installed, I liked the look of the Beta ect..
Maybe there is a way to update it manually? My phone is stock btw.
Cheers.
Depending on the variant of the Honor 8 you have, the update should be rolling out shortly. If you're eager to update your phone however, there are various methods available that should allow you to update your phone to Nougat; just do a quick look through of the other subforums for the Honor 8and you'll find your answer.

Look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
Just skip root/debranding part. Charles method works seamlessly...
No I'm running N in FRD-L09 and it works great. It's really stable and EMUI5 is just amazing.

Huawei P20 EML-C432 Bricked asfk

Good evening,
I have a big problem, I did not want to wait for Andorid 9 (although I was already in beta)
I then followed this guide ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/guide-how-to-install-emui-9-android-9-t3840338 )
It all worked out wonderfully with the flashing and Android 9 was on it.
I have everything set up and behold, mobile always restarts every 30 seconds.
I went into the information and then saw that I have installed clt instead of eml
How can I backtrack everything now?
I have no root anymore and no twrp because emui9 does not exist yet.
Please help me
Kind regards
EDIT:Can close

Many addons just dont work and forse kodi to shut down. Also SPMC doesn't work at all. very disappointed. Everything else looks pretty good on A10.

Updating to Android 10?

Hey guys, just bought the 7 Pro and was wondering should I update to Android 10? I keep reading things that the phone doesn't run too well with the latest update. Anyone have good luck 10.0.2? And if so how did you go about updating? Through the OnePlus website or the oxygen updater app? Thanks!
Using the beta and having no issues as a daily driver with Magisk and EDXposed installed.
10.0.3 should be coming soon no idea what the changelog is yet but likely fixed what ever bugs people were having in 10.0.2 if any.
I got about 5 hours of battery life no joke, **** that. Tried wiping, kernels, xXx NoLimits, nothing helped. I'm back on Pie.

Yes, do it. I did it 2 weeks ago, and the phone runs perfectly fine. Use the oxygen updater app, and read otjer threads to reassure yourself; go to the guides section
