Hi,
I've got a pretty scary problem on my hands. I tried to install CyanogenMod on my Xperia T trough CWM this morning.
I flashed my device first, wiped it with CWM itself. Then I tried to install CM from a zip I put on my SD-card before. All seemed fine at first. It said
finding update package
opening update package...
Then it just goes back to the main menu of CWM.
When I restarted, I noticed I now have a softbrick, I can only use fastboot and CWM, I tried multiple versions of CM, but they all didn't work.
So I tried to mount USB storage to CWM and that doesn't work either. It just says sdcard 0 (and 1) shared - unmounted.
What can I do to get my phone working again? I really want CM, but if that's not an option, than thats fine....
My bootloader is unlocked, and I am using CWM 6.0.4.5;
I got some error messages out of the log, not sure if theyre helpful
I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I: Can't partition non-vfat: /storage/sdcard0(ext4)
I: Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1

What version of CWM are you using?
V9 by davidmarco is faulty...
Another question: is your bootloader unlocked?

My bootloader is unlocked, checked through the service shenanigans.
I'm using CWM 6.0.4.5
Hope it helps you helping me!
EDIT: Succesfully flashed android stock 4.3 onto the device, still doesn't explain why CWM didn't work. Looking for a way to install CM 10/11.

How did you get CWM on your phone?
Where did you get the CM zip file from?

Flash stock 4.1.2
Root it and then try with this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738
Choose v7 or v8.
DON'T download v9 because it's buggy.
Then you can install CM again
Anyway I suggest to try Omnirom for our beloved T ... since CM has still the blue screen bug that developers haven't fixed yet

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to try the FreeXperia project zip first, does CM10 have the same bug? I will take a look at Omnirom.
EDIT: Do you recommend a nightly (omnirom) I can't find a stable anywhere...
Thank you guys for trying to help me out, I really appreciatie it, will keep updating!

FreeXperia team is who develops and lets CM work properly on our T, so the answer is: YES, you will get the same bugs unfortunately

FXP zips are good, I'm just trying to explain that every FXP release is melted with the next CM nightly any time.
Omnirom is a different project and is very stable for Xperia T, since there are developers that are working for this rom nowdays..

FXP and CM generally have the same bugs, but last time I was on FXP's CM11, I can't think of any bug aside from the terrible battery life, which might not be the same for the T since most, if not all, developers have a T (I've got a TX).
On the other hand, I'd recommend you look for ROMs first on XDA instead of through Google or the ROM developer's website, since on XDA there are developers that actually read the comments in threads and in my experience, fix problems faster. For instance, @tilal6991 has this ROM, which I don't know if it is on the official OmniROM download page, but it has had some recent updates that fix the blue screen, MHL Hdmi, and in my case, the ROM I'm on also borrows files from his ROM, which fixes battery drain while on WiFi, something that has NOT been fixed on FXP (which makes me wonder about how they "develop").

Have you rooted your phone? Also you need custom recovery such as cwm to flash paranoid.
Here is the guide for rooting and installing temporary cwm on your phone.
Hope this helps.

Hmm this is PA 3.60. That issue is known and this rom is still not for daily use man. If you want something 4.2.2 go look for pac-man or cm10.1. If you still want PA, you can check out pa 2.99 thread.

Hi.
Ive installed Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 official stable version yesterday. Everything is amazing, theres just one little nasty thing.
When I lock my screen it takes 3-4 secs to wake up again, this is really annoying. Anyone else with this problem? Is this / will this be fixed in any CM or FreeXperia release?
Can I somehow return to stock Android lockscreen, cause it seems that CM has its own Lockscreen app.
Please help, i wanna stay on CM!
EDIT:
For anyone with this problem: I updated to 10.1.3 RC1 using CM Updater and its gone!

It will be fixed in 10.1.3 which will be out in a few days. For now you should use the latest nightly:

FXP (FreeXperia) is exactly the same as Cyanogenmod, they are responsible for developing CM for the entire xperia-range.
As for installation, you'll need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the latest nightly as it is a newer kernel, then wipe/factory reset.

Yes, there're here CM11 STABLE Releases
You'll need CWM 6.x recovery, a based CWM6 recovery or TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery to flash those ROM correctly
Finally here you'll find CM11/OMNI/OMEGA roms, you can flash using a CWM 5.x based recovery

Exactly. The author has only modified the update-script so that we can flash it from CWM 5 rather than from CWM 6

If you havent done so already try re-downloading the Gapps zip as it could be corrupt in some way, other than that it could be the recovery version so maybe try philz/TWRP if you have them.
Id strongly recommend having a look at the PA gapps packages as they are reguarly updated and offer a range of choices.

I don't think the file was corrupted sicne i've checked the md5sum and was correct.I'll try to follow your suggestions and post the results here.
By the way i've just tried the lastest CM 11 dev version but nothing changed so i guess it does not depend on CM 11 version.Could a different kernel make the difference here?
It shouldnt do I wouldnt have thought.

Hey guys. I am new to this, and i wanted to know if it's safe to use the cyanogenmod installer to install the cyanogenmod 11 for my phone. I have already rooted the phone with towelroot and unlocked the bootloader. Also will the installer flash a custom recovery? For some reason i have been unable to access the built in recovery, i tried this only after i unlocked my boot loader. And i wish to install either CWM or TWRP. I'm a big time NOOB Looking forward to some suggestions
as xperia zr is unofficial supported cyanogenmod installer is of no use.

Hi Kash.
To get started with Cyanogenmod on the Xperia ZR (Dogo) follow these steps here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_dogo
Since CM 11 is not officially supported, I use the excellent unofficial ROMs from the FreeXperia project: http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/
Just download the correct ROM for Dogo and then follow the instructions as on the CM wiki.
