Zuk z2 And z2 pro will never get cm? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Zuk z2 and z2 pro can get cm in next months?

Who know, first step would them to allow bootloader unlock.
Then source share.
Then making a CM port shouldn't be too hard.

I am really concerned with the lack of development for this phone. Has no one unlocked the bootloader yet?

That would be real sad considering it seems to be quite an incredible quality to price ratio...

http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/bootloader-news.31/ got some info here hope it helps . they say zuk confirmed they will unlock the bootloader.

http://www.zukfans.it/2016/07/09/breaking-news-bootloader-degli-zuk-z2-aperto/
Bootloader unlocked for the ZUk Z2 apparently.

good to know the BL can be unlocked.

Instructions on how to unlock the bootloader for the ZUK Z2 Pro can be found here: http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/zuk-z2-pro-bootloader-unlock.59/

Due to the MediaTek processor, that's closed source, developers can't really develop for this device without breaking the law. MediaTek have always ensured that their source code isn't released making it difficult for a developer to actually make a custom rom. It's just unfortunately not going to happen for this device.
The Sony XA2 has a Snapdragon 630 processor so it's likely it will receive some more development than XA1. If you want to root you Sony XA1 device you can use on of links below.
XA1 Plus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1/development/xperia-xa1-plus-stock-kernel-advanced-t3729856
XA1 & Ultra: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1-ultra/development/g3221-built-sources-t3622886
Best of luck!
There is no breaking the law or anything. And Sony has uploaded kernel sources long back.
Here is the one for .162 FW
https://developer.sonymobile.com/do...rchives/open-source-archive-for-40-0-a-6-162/
The stock ROM is pretty awesome and there is little reason to unlock BL and make/install custom ROM.

Possible. yes.
But there is a chance of a brick.
Different firmwares may have different partition setups.
And if you brick the one with IMEI or Bootloader ,the phone is a brick.
The only way to confirm is a developer having a rooted UAE phone and a rooted Indian phone and mapping the partition tables.
or perhaps , peek into ftfs and then predict the partition setup. :victory:

is there anyone who can guide me...??
i don't want to buy a new device,:laugh:
The main issue i found is a lack of device tree from Sony, one would need to be built to even consider doing custom roms, LineageOS etc etc, i recently got this phone and i am rather disapointed with the lack of roms for it, ROM's could be ported to the phone no doubt, i know how to build roms and port, but doing a device tree is beyond me

What to know before buying used 5T specially for rooting and ulocking bootloader?

Hi, I recently bought a sony xperia z5 which i saw later that its bootlaoder cannot be unlocked.Now i am planing to go with Oneplus 5t (used one) so i just wanted to know what model number should i buy ( I am in india ) or what should i check before buying 5t ? which can be rooted and unlock bootloader too ( i am planing to buy it from dubai) your help is appreciated
Yes, that's not a problem. Oneplus even provide "official" instructions how to unlock. You are stuck with a warning on bootup once you do though.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and playing with roms was a priority when buying a new phone.

Few questions XZ2c regarding Treble-Support

Hi all, im tempted to buy this XZ2 Compact as a secondary phone (LG V30 as main)
but i just got a couple questions befor im buying it:
Is this device part of the official Treble-Project devices? (so no need to make vendor partition myself etc etc..)
can i unlock bootloader on pie (if it already has official pie)? (dont really care for DRM as im not a camera person.)
if the above bootloader question is false answer; can i unlock bootloader on oreo then upgrade to pie? (to update vendor partition for pie GSI's (if treble supported)
Thanks in advance.

this is a A/B device, so yes it has treble, don't know if official or not, but I think it is a regular treble-phone
PIE is official, but you can't officially unlock on PIE at the moment, so you have to unlock while running oreo, then update to pie

Hi! I'm curious: Have you or has anyone else tried a GSI on the XZ2 Compact? On this Github page (1) it says the camera isn't working at all. Can anyone confirm or deny? I'm interested in getting the phone, but wouldn't if the camera doesn't work with GSIs.
(1) github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Sony-Xperia-XZ2-and-XZ2-Compact
Sorry, can't post links yet.
I have not tested a GSI, but as far as i can say, it depends on the aosp source from Sony devs.
And afaik the Sony devs pushing updates for the camera to their aosp code, which hopefully lead into a working cam in the next few releases.
But i think @MartinX3 is the more experienced guy related to this topic.

I never feel experienced enough :silly:
As far ass i know, only the sony aosp works with the Q GSI, because Q needs a new treble level.
It splits the sepolicy.
The sony aosp & its OEMv7 blobs are compatible with it.
I am not sure if the PIE stock rom has it.
But I think they will only implement it with stock Q in combination with a Q bootloader.

As to Treble, yes, the XZ2C supports Treble. https://thedroidguru.com/list-project-treble-supported-android-devices/
The bootloader is supposedly unlockable (and Sony's dev site provides for it), although I cannot comment on the consequences of doing so, such as the DRM issues with the camera.
