[UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS-16.0 For Dragon 4.9 kernel.
The system is built on the basis of the 4.9 kernel and drivers from Nvidia Shield TV.
Of the pluses I noticed, Play 2 / 4k video on YouTube and from files.
To install this firmware you need your own version of TWRP. You can download TWRP here.
Android 9.
Known issues:
- There is no LP0 sleep (standby) mode.
- There is no Camera.
- SELinux - permissive !
Works:
- Wi-Fi and BT
- Sound speakers, headphones, via BT.

Thanks @webgeek1234 and CM-Shield team, for the source.
Thanks @michie for testing rom.
If someone wants to help finish the sound support in the kernel and the system, write, I will help you how to start the assembly yourself.
Thank you very much.
This is really an important refresh for the software base.
I think that this new kernel can do wonders on our device.

if sound is working can you make it work on linux with 4.9?

If you mean the mainline kernel, then the answer is no.
If you are about Linux for Tegra at 4.9 then this is possible.

TWRP updated to 2.8.7.2 including latest commits. Download at the bottom (see Dec25 file). Selinux permissive is set, so, should work on all roms. Remember, unzip and flash in fastboot.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I know there is a bunch of different TWRP recoveries for our Z1, including the official one. Well. This one is for Fota. It was compiled in Z1 build environment with all the appropriate flags. And brightness is working fine. Why brightness is important? Because at maximum brightness your phone will overheat to over 65 degrees during flashing. And thanks to previously wrong value, the brightness level in other TWRPs is 15 times the maximum one.
You can flash this one in fastboot like this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Just make sure that your kernel does not have inbuilt TWRP, because 2 identical recoveries will conflict with each other. Unzip first...
For those who would like to know what's new, look here: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/project:android_bootable_recovery
In this build, I have also reduced default vibration to 28/28/28, but you can set in Settings to whatever you want.
can you publish your settings to get brightness working ? would be nice to complete official sources from twrp !

My commit was merged about 2 months ago by Slimroms. See their /device/sony/rhine-common. There is a flag for brightness that should be 255 instead of 4095. So, the changes are not in TWRP sources, but in the rhine tree...
Edit: Here is the commit: https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_sony_rhine-common/commit/7d64159d87d948926ebd40485deb18f9c292abbe

Thanks for posting.
I guess since this is FOTA it will not work with roms with recovery in boot like Jaguar?

That's right, but I am planning to update Jaguar's kernel. So, when it is done, I will

Try, but there is a separate branch for TWRP for M. And anyway, M is not usable yet and won't be for a long time...
Thanks for this one!
I do however seem to experience an issue when trying another ROM like CM.
With your ROM I can reboot into this recovery but with CM I get a black screen. When using another older TWRP recovery I used when rooting both ROMS boot fine into recovery.

Hey there~
For some reason this recovery is not working for me at all. It won't start after flashing it, just a black screen.
The original twrp 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me is working, though. But I'd rather get your version to work because of the brightness control.
Could you help me please? >.<

Are you sure you are doing everything right? Does your kernel have a builtin recovery? If that's the case, you will have problems. Have you updated your bootloader with Emma? Before flashing (in fastboot), do this: fastboot erase recovery; and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Make sure you are not mistyping: the command means fastboot has to flash recovery.img to recovery partition. If you have FOTA, then there is a chance flash recovery may not work.

Thanks for your answer. I tried flashing it exactly like you suggested, but the result was the same - black screen. My kernel does not have an inbuilt recovery and no, I didn't update my bootloader with Emma. That means I can only use FOTA, right? But I thought this recovery IS indeed for FOTA?
It's strange that the original TWRP is working, but yours doesn't.. even though they're both for FOTA..

Happened to me once.
Try wiping FOTAKernel partition first, with:
Code:
fastboot erase FOTAKernel
and then flash the recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
where recovery.img is your recovery.

Did you try with another kernel? If it worked then, you can trace the problem to the kernel itself, and not the device or your flashing methodology.
Recovery updated to 2.8.7.2. See OP for download...
RADIUM KERNEL FOR THE MOTO G 2014!
This is my first kernel! This is primarily a companion to my Radium Redefined M rom, but I'm also putting it up here for people who don't like to flash roms (Well, they're missing out, aren't they ). It'll start off as close to stock, I'll add features slowly (Keep those requests comin' in!)
NOTE- THIS KERNEL IS ONLY FOR STOCK/STOCK BASED ROMS. DO NOT FLASH IT ON CM/AOSP ROMS. ANYWAYS, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE
So here we go!-
Features-
OC/UC (1.5GHz/96MHz)
Compiled with UBERTC 4.9
That's it for now
How to flash-
1. Download the latest version
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash (You need not wipe anything)
4. Reboot and enjoy!
I know, the features are very less. But it starts off this way. I'm still learning. I'll be adding more governors/hotplugs slowly
Downloads-
LATEST VERSION (R1)

Last Updated 2016-05-15
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS-
As of now, the kernel is pretty much stock. So it's perfect out of the box.
You can do one thing tho- Change read ahead of Internal Storage to 1024 KB and externel to 4096 KB (If you have a 32 GB card. If other, set a lesser value).
I'll be updating this when we have more features

The kernel flashes properly. However, after rebooting, root access breaks. So no root access, after booting. Wiping dalvik and cache doesn't help either. And here are the relevant screenshots.

Of course that's normal. SuperSU is systemless, so it patches the boot.img. This kernel replaces your previously patched boot.img so you lose root access. To fix this, you need to flash SuperSU again

SuperSU version 2.62 :
https://download.chainfire.eu/748/SuperSU/?
The problem is that beyond 2.62, the method of rooting changed from patching the boot image for a systemless root, to the old fashioned method of /system rooting. While the newer method works on all custom ROMs, it so happens that the stock Motorola ROM requires you to perform a systemless root. So go ahead and install the version in that link. After that, you can boot up, go to the play store, and update from there to version 2.65, which is the current stable build.

Please answer two questions:
1. Are you using a stock ROM?
In other words, are you using Radium Redefined?
Or are you using any other ROM out there?
2. Did you flash SuperSU 2.62?
Or did you flash any other version than this?
If the answer to either is yes, please go read the OP and all the posts that follow, thoroughly. That will solve your problems If not, then please provide more information. "Bootloop" isn't enough information to help.

I think you can open the Radium Rom zip, the radium kernel zip and copy the system folder and the boot.img from the zip kernel to the rom kernel, replace and i think it will boot fine with radium kernel by default

And are you sure it's a bootloop? The first boot takes a while. If you think it's taking too long, just force restart from the bootanimation

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Just wiping your phone in TWRP lead into an encrypted & not readable userdata in the stock system.
You need to open advanced wiping and check the entries data and internal storage.
Of course clear the dalvik, too.
If you backed up system and/or vendor partitions and you want to restore them, make sure that TWRP setting "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" is set!.
If after the usage of NewFlasher or the OTA Updater or something else, which installs stock firmware parts you get stuck into the TWRP or SONY Logo, you need again to disable the verification with the vbmeta.img file and its parameters in fastboot.

Removing the stock bloat apps via titanium backup may result in a boot loop. Use a file explorer to remove them, disable them or try to use my unfinished bloat removal script at github.
Your phone reboots into recovery, instead of system? Maybe it crashed too often due to a wrong installation or whatever?
In TWRP:
Code:
cat /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
shows you the reason.
Please replace it with an empty string.
Known Bugs:
The "fastboot boot twrp.img" doesn't work, if you use the hardware buttons to open the blue fastboot bootloader mode. Only use adb, twrp or the android system to reboot into blue fastboot bootloader mode or flash the twrp.img, boot the device, reboot into bootloader and flash the original boot.img back, before booting into twrp.
You can also "fastboot reboot bootloader" in the blue fastboot mode.
This is a bootloader bug, maybe it gets fixed with the stock Q bootloader.
Bugtracker:
TWRP Bugtracker -> If you think the problem is in TWRP
My Bugtracker -> If you think the problem is in my implementation
Bugreport:
A bugreport needs your device name, dmesg, the /tmp/recovery.log and a way to reproduce the issue.
If the TWRP is stuck at the TWRP logo, the chances are high, that the decryption didn't succeed.
The TWRP should be still usable if you just "fastboot boot twrp.img" it.
To rescue a not responding phone:
VOLUP+POWER for 3 Seconds -> RESTART with one Vibration.
VOLUP+POWER for 20 Seconds -> SHUTDOWN with 3 Vibrations.
VOLUP+POWER+CAMERA for 30 Seconds -> HARDWARE SHUTDOWN by discharging a capacitor.

i put this twrp officially into the endoflife status.
Due to twrp 10.0 being work in progress, i am unable to compile it in a 10.0 build environment.
So the 10.0 release will take its time.
(and sony didn't release the source code for the stock kernel until now).
I will try to experiment with a 9.0 twrp and a 4.14 kernel, so look if it is usable in the new 10.0 4.14 custom roms as a temporally workaround, when i have free time.
If that works, i will experiement with the stock kernel source, after it got released.
But for now i have no clue for any eta. (the curse of doing it as a volunteer :d)

stock twrp 52.0.a.11.32 doesn't decrypt userdata.
Waiting that the needed patches get submit in twrp/omnirom.
Then i rebuild a new twrp for 52.0.a.11.32.
Please only "fastboot boot" it, don't flash it to the phone or the twrp will be just stuck at twrp logo.

dear people, sadly no new twrp for the new stock march firmware with shiny new twrp bugfixes and so on until i finished my next exam (of many) at the 20.03.2019.
But after that i'll release a new release.
Maybe with working "fastboot boot twrp.img"
i hope
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/android_bootable_recovery/+/33287/
will got merged then, too, so i can hopefully remove the twrp installer zip file.
Ps:
The good thing is, if you rely on the twrp and won't update the firmware before i release it, you can see others complaining about march firmware bugs without having them on your phone. [emoji14]

i found the broken twrp solution together with the sony developers.
It's the cause of the omni 9.0.0_r31 ramdisk (february security level)
i need to wait for the february security patch stock update.
The rollback security is preventing me to use an january kernel with the february firmware, resulting in a blinking bootlooping black/logo/black/logo twrp animation.
Will release the next working twrp with twrp camerafix & magisk camerafix included and maybe my touch driver approch will work then, ( now i know it should work, it was only the cause of this security behaviour)

Flash with newflasher (v13+) only the file:

Connect your device to your PC and write
"adb devices"
This should show you your device and a number.
Then you can do
adb reboot bootloader
And choose the fastboot mode.

Switch off the phone. Press and hold the Volume Up button
Connect to your PC using a USB Cable while holding down the Volume Up button on your Xperia XZ2
Before plugging in the USB cable on your Xperia XZ2 make sure that the other end of USB cable is already connected to the PC.
Wait till the LED turns into blue (the volume up button has to be pressed all the time till you see the blue led). Blue LED -> no more need to press the volume up button. Now you are in fastboot mode.
Using Linux do the following: open a terminal, type 'sudo fastboot devices' (without the quotes) (make sure before that you have fastboot installed on your linux box).
The output should be something like: QV7016A31E fastboot
The procedure should be very similar using windows (without using the sudo command), but I never tried it.
Ok, thanks, I'll try

Unfortunately this build seems not working, it did something out of an ordinary boot though.
Here's what exactly what I did:
1. The phone is unlocked, model H8266.
2. Shut down and get into fastboot mode, with blue LED on.
3."fastboot boot xz2_twrp.img" and get it booting.
and this is what I observed:
1. Screen turns on with Blue LED on, diaplaying "Your device software cannot... Blablablah".
2. After 5 seconds the screen turns off, but the blue LED is still on.
3. After around 20 seconds the screen turns on again with "SONY" logo, blue LED is still on.
4.About 5 seconds later, Blue LED turns off.
5.Again about 10 seconds later, screen turns off.
6.The red LED blinked a few times, with two times of vibration.
7.Screen turns on with "SONY" logo, then it's totally an ordinary boot into Android.
Hope the feedback will help.

Well, it's just the same warning as the bootloader is unlocked, "Your device software cant' be checked for corruption, please lock the bootloader", quite common after a bootloader unlock.
I should compile the Android 8.0 kernel with the Omni 8.0 sources, instead of 8.1 I think.
I also can't use the Sony Kernel 4.9.116 on Github, because it is not finish and stick with the delivered Kernel 4.9.65 from the July update.
(It is hard to test without an unlocked phone, hehe)
@yanke928
Can you use a second terminal to use
adb -d logcat &> log.txt
OR
ddms (in the android sdk)
while entering the fastboot boot cmd
to look, if it will give us any logs?
There is also a xda guide

Tried to get log during the recovery booting but failed.
By issuing "adb logcat > logcat.txt" at the second terminal while booting the device from fastboot to the TWRP, it doesn't output anything when it's trying to boot the TWRP, but after the failure boot of TWRP, it does catch logs of an ordinary boot. Which means the adb works fine, while the TWRP doesn't give out any logs.

I've found that I did a stupid thing, model confused.
Seemed you've compile it for H8266 for Chinese Mainland market, while I have H8296, HK version, but I don't think this will matter somehow since the phone of HK version and Chinese version can be flashed with each other's firmware. Also, if you're Chinese, you can communicate with me directly without English

I am also using the H8296 HongKong device, because of the 6GB ram, but I installed the H8266 German firmware on it.
@spirit-eh got the same error, but I don't know his device.
PS:
I am still downloading the minimal platform_manifest_twrp_omni on 8.0 branch, before I can compile it again.
Many stuff to download and I got only 5Mbit internet on my vacation. :silly:
Edit:
A notable difference between the XZ2 image and the XA2 image is the kernel size
XZ2 kernel 15.3 MB
XA2 kernel 46 MB
Maybe he compiled the AOSP one from github.
Edit2:
I assume hardly, that I need to wait for the XZ2 to be added to the Sony open source programm.
So I can use the AOSP 8.1 kernel, instead of this hacked thing delivered in the Sony open source downloads in their site.
The XA2 twrp maintainer did the same.
An older version of twrp does not work on xz2 (H8216) ? @MartinX3

TWRP 3.1 introduced support for A/B-Devices.
TWRP 3.2.0 introduced the Android 8.x compatibility and 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 included important fixes.
I wouldn't try an older version.
I also need to compile TWRP from source with my collected config files to work with the XZ2.
(TWRP need to compiled for every device on its own).
Now I try to compile it with OMNI 8.0 instead of 8.1, because it is a hacky 8.0 kernel, which I need to use.
(Sony's Android 8.1 AOSP 4.9 kernel is not finished.)
01.08.2018
I was able to compile the standard recovery with the Sony 4.9 AOSP kernel for the XZ2.

Latest flashable Vendor + Firmware combos for Laurel_Sprout
While this shouldn't cause any harm to your device, if anything happens - that's on you. I'm not responsible for any harm to your device.
Those packages are made for custom ROMs only! They may break MIUI ROMs. They don't include boot/system/product/dtbo so you don't need to reflash anything!
To install just flash in recovery and reboot.
(If you used no-fde patch before you might need to reflash that)
Why should you update your firmware and vendor? To get latest security and stability patches from Qualcomm.
V11.0.7.0 - February 2020 Security Patch - Android 10:
Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DOGUZqrgkJvU4hto-OOcofYcKCutHVeH
Mirror: https://mega.nz/file/pgl22Qha#llyjbpdDMrfdYN-K1ly4sv4B8mPVkv_PLQ6Zz78Dik8
First Android 10 Vendor for Mi A3. Pretty much everything is improved.
ONLY FLASH THIS IF ROM YOU'RE USING SAYS THAT IT REQUIRES ANDROID 10/Q VENDOR!
V10.3.13.0 - January 2020 Security Patch:
Download: Google Drive
Users on telegram reported improved battery life, fingerprint scanner improvements and multiple other improvements.
(On first boot your phone might stay on splash screen for a little longer than usual. No idea why this is happening)

Because I can't manage to root it nor install Magisk. Constant failure ( no such partition if I recall correctly). I try by using XiaomiTool.
EDIT: I found a way. I was using the wrong commands in Minimal ADB/Fastboot. Now I have root and Magisk.
Maybe you can help me to solve the same problem?

It will be booted automatically.. there are many kernel available but u can choose one kernel to flash at once if you want to use another kernel you have to flash the rom again flashing kernel is as like flashing zips.
Do not flash 2 kernel in one rom. You will be held in bootloop
