As the title suggests, I rooted my phone, unlocked BL and was about to flash CM for Honami, which is Z1, but the flashing of the ROM was stopped because it recognizes my device, a Z1, as a "togari", a Z Ultra. I find this quite odd as I have practically no idea why it does that.
I also tried flashing "togari" CM ROM, but that also fails.
Any fixes for this?

if you are sure that you have an z1... then just remove the device check in the updater script (within the zip...) it is in the beginning... cant really remember how it looks but ... search google perhaps.. then it will flash weird enough ... my s also identifies as an sl... but that is from the build prop

Haha, yes. I google for it and tried to simply delete the device check in update-script, but it didn't work for me. I believe the issue is in my recovery, which is not a 4.4 kitkat recovery. The CWM-recovery I have at the moment is 6.0.3.6 and I believe that is the reason for my issues. I have had no luck trying to find a 4.4 kitkat recovery... any tips here?

I tried this recovery too, without any luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49966299
To begin with I got Status 7 error, which is now gone.. I found a tutorial to flash SlimRom for Z1, which is android 4.4.2: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-4-4-2-kitkat-sony-xperia-z1-available-via-slimkat-rom-1432702
However, I was only able to make emergency calls, no cellular at all. I flashed CM through the same method and everything I tried worked, except cellular. Thus, I had to wipe it and install stock Sony firmware.
After that I tried flashing CM the "normal" way through recovery and everything installed as usual, but when I push reboot to reboot the system, the phone simply shuts off. Even if I press the powerbutton to turn it on, it only vibrates and nothing else happens. Again, I flashed stock firmware to be able to use the phone again...
I am very confused about this, because it does not give any errors. It simply does not work :l

just copied from the CM11 dev fora...
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot
for update just flash rom zip from recovery
Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them.

This is a CWM recovery for the Xperia T - you need to have unlocked your bootloader at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE ETC. ETC. ETC. - I'm sure you've heard the rest before.
Steps for installation:
Download recovery from http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/recoveries/mint/15102012.img
Download fastboot and get it into a place where you can run it - I'm not going to provide instructions how - guides are all over the place
Open a command window in the place where fastboot is
Copy the recovery.img to the fastboot folder
Type fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Type fastboot reboot
You will be in CWM!
Note:
The first time you install a ROM you will need to flash the boot.img of that ROM using fastboot - I'm hoping this restriction can be removed at a future date.
A CM port is also up - compiled by me.
Thanks to:
All the CM guys for having their code on Github - I didn't do anything but compile and figure out the instructions for flashing.
Hmm, so tempting but not sure since you've not tested it on the T. Someone else gonna go first?
EDIT: I am sorry, a bad assumption possibly. Have you tested this on a T?
I have. It's tested and working. I've flashed CyanogenMod and using it as a daily as well.
Will have my T today but I wonder how to access recovery in daily use? (undestood the 1st time access, but not the next accesses...)
backup and restore work？
Switch off phone.
Power on phone with volume down held.
And although I haven't tested there's nothing that indicates backup/restore won't work.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
Hmm, the recovery just cycle boots into recovery mode. It never boots into system
As I said the first time you flash a ROM you will need to fast boot install the boot mage of the ROM.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
So then you are forced to flash a rom after installing cwm?
Sent from my Xperia T
Yes. Since you are flashing the boot partition its a pseudo recovery so a ROM needs to be flashed.

I flashed this last night successfully. I couldn't get side-loading to work, but it's smooth otherwise. Have not tested backup / restore yet.
Additionally, FWIW, I then flashed the Paranoid Android ROM, and while I've got some issues with it, I didn't have to flash the boot.img from the ROM for the ROM to boot, so I am not sure if that is still required or not... or maybe that's what's causing my issues with the ROM?
Thanks for the recovery!

So this recovery has to be initially installed on the boot partition, but does it copy itself to the recovery partition on first boot or do you have to reflash it every time you want to switch from running a ROM to running the recovery?
Also, is a stock boot.img available anywhere (so that this recovery can be used for nandroid backups with the stock rom)?
Once I am finished with this recovery how do I turn the phone off?
SOLVED
Hold vol + and - and power button.
CWM on Xperia TX and screen is upside down
Nice work tho.
Is AROMA working in the recovery?
I'm making a rom and I'd like to know it

Hello,
I yesterday got new at&t Atrix hd with android 4.0.4. I updated to newest 4.1.2 (I think). I rooted it with Motochopper. I tried to install CWM with Myth Tool. Didn't work.
Finally I installed CWM with this method.
Install CWM Recovery by Epinter
Read Epinter's RAZR HD CWM Thread
Download the recovery image
On stock rom, navigate to /system/etc and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
Reboot into fastboot -- use "adb reboot bootloader" from Terminal\Command Prompt
Wipe the existing recovery -- "fastboot erase recovery" !
Flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img"
That's it, CWM is installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I installed [ROM] CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) for AtrixHD from zip in CWM. Everything was working great till turned Atrix off.
Then it stuck on "bootloader unlocked" screen. Most of the time I was not able to enter CWM but one time somehow I managed to enter CWM, if I use restart option in CWM after restart android loaded successfully. Tried restart again but I was not able to enter recovery and got stuck again. After messing around with volume/power key somehow android loaded again successfully (without enter recovery).
Now it's working but I'm scared to restart or do anything.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it ROM problem, system or what?
Currently there are no install-recovery.sh (or install-recovery.sh.bak) file. Maybe this could be problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Are you sure the install-recovery.sh file is not installed? Just to make sure, I would install Root Explore to use that to check to make sure.
I don't have root access but I think I should be able to see that file, right?
Do you have root access? You need to install a file manager like Root Explorer so you can easily change the file permissions and rename the file by adding .bak to the end of the file name.
Weird, I don't see it either. I see it in mine though.
No, I don't have root access. I hope it's ROMs issue. CM10.2 doesn't come with root access. There are weird things going on with my phone. I really hope that other ROM will fix that. Thanks for reply.

Maybe you could install Root Explorer. Maybe that will allow you to see the file.
I also have problems getting straight into recovery sometimes but if I hold vol up+vol down+power I can select recovery from there. as far root on cm 10.2 flash superuser.zip
Can you tell me what key combinations you use for what purpose? I doubt you make a mistake there...

Rebooted fine but I get N/A in every device property value in RSD
When I flash CM 10.2 (wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset/format system and wiping caches/factory reset after) It boots fine the first time and gets stuck in Moto log/Unlocked bootloader when I reboot
I know I missing something but WTF am I missing?

Hey guys,
strange thing happened to me yesterday.
After I got fed up with Paranoid, I decided to pick one of the other AOKP derivatives.
Although I had initial problems with mounting sdcard1, I somehow managed to flash from there
and do have SOKP with android 4.4.4 running on my honami
the thing is, when I want to access recovery through vol+ or vol-, my phone freezes on boot,
otherwise everything is working fine.
Unfortunately I need to flash GAPPS and I need to find some kind of workaround...
What I have tried is flashing TWRP and Z1DualRecovery via fastboot with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
What is SOKP? Any link you can give us?
Did the kernel for that ROM include a recovery?
TWRP cannot be installed via fastboot on xperia devices. Z1dualrecovery kernel is for stock based roms only.
Maybe you should flash a FTF and start again.
you have unlocked bootloader, let flash pimp kernel to have working recovery, so you can reflash the rom to check it.

Hey, thanks for the fast response guys.
So I've just flashed Pimped Kernel to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/xperia-z1-t2834169
I am still getting stuck on boot when I'm trying to get into recovery.
Neither vol+ not vol- works, I hit it when the purple light flashes and the orange one comes up and stays like forever.
So unfortunately I cannot flash nor wipe.
And Android without GAPPS kinda sucks... especially when they have the new material design...
EDIT: And I don't want to stay on pimped kernel cuz it somehow causes battery drain for me...
Only possibility would be to somehow install the zip via ADB/Fastboot... does that work somehow?
Just keep pressing it throughout the boot sequence, don't forget you have to press, let go, press, let go etc..... Its not just one long press

Just tried that out, in both directions.
Same result - no success.
Really unusual since it was always a long press and I should also be getting into the recovery
by rebooting into recovery from inside the ROM.
What other possibilities are there to get gapps on your phone?

push them with adb

have you booted into system and check to see if quick boot is enabled in developer options - root

I dont seem to have that option,
all I have is the point "Update CM Recovery when installing system updates"
@gregbradley how do I push and flash those via ADB?
Check in the gapps zip where each file should be installed (Proabably all to system/app) and the associated permissions (Should be 0755 or 0644, I don't have time to check just now)
Then put all the files in the same folder where you have adb installed.
then
Code:
adb push "[I]name of file here[/I]" system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
adb chmod 0755 system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
Replace the name of the file with the extension where I have said, change the "0755" to "0644" if that's what it says in the updater script, and if the apks should be installed somewhere else (for example syste/priv-app) change the commands to that.
This method would take you a long time, proabably best to just push the play store and then download the google apps you want, or better still, fix your recovery
Ok guys, many many thanks for your help.
I solved the problem and got my recovery back.
I flashed PhilZ and I like it. Way better than regular CWM.
You can close the thread now.
Hi guys,
Ok, so I've searched through everything and I still can't find an answer to my problem. So, basically, I have just installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia SP successfully using CWM recovery and then I wanted to reboot my phone again into CWM, so that I could install gapps, but I just couln't. Despite pushing right buttons while booting or making him boot into recovery mode, he always turns on the system. I can't get into flash tool either, but maybe it is because I have a blocked bootloader. I don't know if it's a valid info, but I have used "Wipe data/factory reset" before installing Cyanogenmod 11.
Please, help me, as I have no clue what to do now :<

Maybe his bootloader can't be unlocked.
But if it can be (just dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check bootloader status), I too would suggest unlocking it. Makes flashing and customizing so much more easier and there infinitely more ROM's and other files to choose from.
Of course take a TA backup before you unlock your bootloader or your warranty's gone for good.

If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.

If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.
Here is a Rom I personally use and find very nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237
