Recovery and Kernel for CyanogenMod 12 - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hello,
I need some help with install CyanogenMod 12 - Neo's Homebuilds
I have Sony Xperia T LT30p
Android ver: 4.3
Kernel ver: 3.4.0
Build number: 9.2.A.1.199
Phone is unlocked and rooted.
I have problem on next steps - recovery and flash
In instruction to install CyanogenMod12 doesn't write how recovery I shoud use. I read, most people use CWM, so I was looking for that recovery.
Unfortunatelly, from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738 when I tried run CWM v9 installer for JB, select my phone from list
I have only " deamon not running, starting it now on port 5037* deamon startded successfully" and nothing happens.
I flashed this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677553 Installed correctly, I go to cwm recovery, I did a backup, but when I was tried
install rom, I have an error something like "You tried install rom for LT30, but your device is Hayabusa" and installation is aborted.
What recovery (and from where) I need, to correctly install this mod? Do I need install another kernel too? (All kernels what I seen, have older build number than I have on the phone)
Could someone help me to finish this process?
Best Regards

Same issue like here.

Check this out. :good:

Hey WhiteNeo, thanks for response.
I read this post before, but in there, user has a Xperia V, and has a different Build number, and he has (a good?) recovery (I don't know if this has any significance) and aborts appears, in the middle of installation with different kind of error log.
I have abort message on the beginning, telling that the rom is ok but device is Hayabusa..:/
Could you tell me what recovery I should use? (Or maybe this what I have installed is correctly? I don't tried do this on the TRWP)
I need flash another kernel? or it's not necessary?

Still, the steps I mentioned are the same.. Either remove the first line in updater-script, or flash my kernel via fastboot before installing the rom.
The kernel does include a working recovery from where you may flash the rom itself.

Good news, I finished and it works
I flashed the kernel – boot.img from your rom zip package (maybe it worth add this info to the instruction on first page?)
Thanks very very! much for your hints. So now I join to the „tester” your great rom
For now (using only 1 hour) I found only 2 bugs.
First is a „!” symbol near gsm signal when we turn off cellular data.
Second is a unable to turn on the camera using dedicated button.
Thanks again.:good:

Funnily enough, that symbol shows that you don't have cellular data (internet connection); if you don't like the symbol, turn on cellular data or connect to a working WiFi network.

The "!" symbol, it's not funnily enough, on any kind of system or application.
It's little weird kind of notification about disabled internet connection. Many people save the battery or $ by
disabling cellular data (in stock system you don't have any icon to inform that status) and that should be
something "normal", "!" is unnecessary to inform that fact.

Then you should probably complain to Google and it's developers for creating that ugly and disgusting icon, instead of labeling it as a bug. Just because there is something about your phone that you don't like doesn't mean it's a bug; that's like saying my battery only lasting 18 hours is a bug, when in fact I leave my screen on for more than 3 hours.
Also, I didn't know there was an Official Android 5 Stock Rom for either the T/TX Sony phone, so I wouldn't know about how it behaves. Please do share the news.

Also custom ROMs don't always have the same features stock ROMs do, for instance, opening the camera app when clicking on the camera button (doesn't work on any of the custom ROMs I've used), but again, that doesn't mean it's a bug.
You can probably use Xposed + Xposed Additions to get that function.

I didn't know that in the original android 5.x symbol "!" near gsm signal, is implemented - is changing, figure things out.
For me, its a little strange, "!" symbol should inform that something is wrong / something damaged but in this case
everything is ok but symbol is displayed. All right, this is only my opinion.
I didn't write nowhere about official android 5 for Xperia T, so I don't know what you mean.
About camera button, it's works, example on the Ultimate PureXT custom ROM, so it is possible to work on custom rom.
If it's designed for something, and now it's not working as it should....how do you call it if not a bug? fault? defect? mistake?
Fortunately, it's only a details and I'm grateful to the authors, for this custom rom and I keep my fingers crossed for next update
to improve this rom.

What I meant was that even on Stock ROMs, the icons change to show there is no connection to Google's servers (blue colored signal in 4.3 and below, and orange colored in QS in 4.4), so it shouldn't surprise you that the function is still there.
About the camera button... I would probably call that not having access to the entirety of Sony's source code, drivers, etc., in order to implement that function, and custom ROM developers probably just haven't simply figured that out yet; because, for your information, the Ultimate PureXT Rom is not a custom ROM.

[Q] Problem with new android releases

Hi, sorry for writing here and not to the particular topic, in pure android development forum, where this discussion is already on, but thats the stupid way, how posting is set here on this forum.
I need help with last FRX06 and Gingerbread releases - and trust me, i've tried all combinations of last system files and last 8 releases of kernel.
Final state is this:
1) in FRX06, everything works, except of camera - camera works for 2-3 seconds, then closes with the error dialog
2) in Gingerbread, everything works, except of my data connection - neither 2G or 3G, I also tried all different settings of cdma in the startup.txt, 2G/3G settings in the menu - everything. And it never works - not just after reboot as someone mentioned here, for me, it works never
Please, if you know, how to solve (preferably the first, i think it can be somehow solved) any of these problems, help me.
BTW today Im gonna upgrade to the newest Energy ROM, because I'm using the one from january - i think this has no connection to Android, but i will try after it again
Radio I'm using the newest stable
Thank you very much

[Q] No network after kernel change and/or formating

Hi,
on my xperia X8 i was changing ROM's to test them and i was using GingerDX for a while. It was good, everything was working like a charm. Then my friend poked me with CM9. This one
As noted in that thread i needed nAa 11 kernel that i installed (correct if Install is wrong term). Kernel was installed nicely. CM ROM from that thread was working nicely, as stated camera and wifi don't work. But i also don't have network. My SIM card is locked by provider, i enter passkey and i get standard unlock message. That's OK and it proceed to home screen. Then i notice that i don't have network signal and i got SIM icon on my status bar (as noticed in Pic's).
So firstly, to see what is what:
I guess my phone is bricked, i bricked it lots of times and fixed with SEUS.
CWM is 5.0.1.2 and also xrecovery (i can't remember version)
I put another kernel, something "linux" something...
After "IDK what not" i tried S1tool, SEUS again and again and again and still nothing. I manage to take it back to stock rom with nAa kernel, nothing. Stock ROM with stock kernel, nothing... On stock ROM 2.1 i get to unlock SIM, do that and it just shows status bar, no menu, no widgets, no home screen, not even launcher. On status bar: SIM icon, signal icon (empty), battery ofc.
On that CM9 ROM i can do everything but still no network and WiFi don't work as mentioned and stated in Luke's thread.
So i cant go on nor back...
I'm working on phone while i write this and i have no clue how i made it to work...
It's fixed, on stock rom but network is working.
So, i wanted to ask you how to fix it but now i want to ask:
What did i do to make it not working? and
HOW did i fixed it?
I've been working on it for like 20 hours and i have no idea what did what and when.
If you need some pictures i will be happy to post them for more information on the problem.

I dont have that ROM on my Phone but i saw some ppl fixing it by simply going to Security --> Simlock --> Unlock SIM Card (or something like that).
As far as WIFI is concerned i am sure u know that it needs static IP.

I beleve it was radio. I now installed both GingerDX and that CM. I have network now. And WiFi works with static IP. Thank you for posting

Do a clean flash with flashtool, then install the rom again.

tried that on 4 roms...is my phone broken or something? Wi-fi works fine pre rom, but when installed it just wont do anything. at first I thought it was just the Honami engine brands but I just tried another off brand forgot the name...some modification for the generic Firmware with a few add-ons...and still the wi-fi won't work.
Is this a new issue? or has someone been through this? Clean flash didn't work.
makes me sad face cant findd the solution anywhere...my ocd wont let me keep the rom knowing that it wont work lol.
So... does wifi work with a stock rom, but not with a custom rom? or wifi doesn't work at all at this point?
Should pull a logcat and see what your errors are....
Well, I uninstalled the rom, and back to 10.3.1.E.0.191 Wi-Fi works perfectly. But when I install a rom, wifi wont even humor turning on, it just blinks four times then goes back to gray.
I don't know what logcat is, is there a tutorial somewhere for it?
So I ran LOGCAT after viewing a small tutorial.and when It gets to network controller it says
Networkcontroller( 2140) refreshviews: Data not connected!! set no data type icon / roaming
and I get that twice in a row. So do I need to install a file somewhere? is the installed rom just not wifi accessible? what?

(T) Carrier Data not working on 4.3, 4.0 and 4.1 on a bootloop

For some reason, on a flashed 4.3 Xperia T the 3g doesn't work. Also, a bug that I have noticed on this firmware: when you switch the language to another(macedonian, specifically), the network that appears when you pull down the notification bar reads "no service". Calls and SMS are received as usual.
However, when I flash 4.0 or 4.1, when I boot the phone, it gets to the twirling colors, stutters halfway for a second and turns off for a second, and boots again by itself. I have turned the phone off by Volume up + Power until 3 vibrations, however I am not able to fix this.
Flashing 4.3 again makes it work as written in the first paragraph.
BTW, I only formatted cache with flashtool. Also in that tab, the "appslog" checkmark appears. Googling found nothing.
For no service problem.. there are a lot of users that have that bug..also on sony forum.. check my post for a tempory fix:.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53018845&postcount=36
For a problem with 3g.. try another firmware , also have you try another sim?

I said in my original post that when I change the language the "no service" problem appears.
I've tried ~3 4.3 ftfs and ~2-3 4.1 and 1 4.0 ftf and nothing worked 100%.
Thanks for reading though!
Try flashing custom rom. When i had stock 4.3 then carrier data wasn't working for me either, but when i flashed custom rom it fixed problem.

Cant Turned on WIFI/BT, Already Flashed for BT still not working

Hi , its been a year since i bought xiaomi mi 9-global rom(128GB) and all work properly.
if im not mistaken the first rom when i bought is MIUI 10 , then the last time i update if im not mistaken is around september in MIUI 12.02 for the latest security patch.
Suddenly problem occurs recently maybe around a week. where my Wifi & Bluetooth disconnected by the system and cant be turned on but it fixed it self as i restart and now its never fixed.
I already some of fixed below :
- Restart devices
- Wipe all data
- Factory reset
- Try to flash the ROM from official one MIUI 12.02
- Following some tutorials that reset bluetooth and wifi settings
- Try downgrading MIUI version to 11
but still didnt work the Wifi & Bluetooth setting always crash & cant be turned on , try CIE or CIU test found out that the proximity sensor also didn't work.
I also tried some tutorials that do in EDL mode to install persist mode but its not working due to the Authentication it says" i dont have the permission"
Is there anyway i can fixed the Bluetooth & Wifi in this device?? The Mobile Data is still working and other features still working except Proximity Sensor, WIFI, Bluetooth.
Is the only way is to let the xiaomi store fixed it?? this is my only phone so i need it alot and the office store probably going to take long since pandemic.
Please help me Xiaomi Pro's out there :crying:
Edit :
- my xiaomi account already match with the phone the proof is i can unlocked OEM using the xiaomi. But it seems i still dont have permissions to flash EDL.

I think it's safe as miui could be.
But be shure to follow step by step and take right rom version. If it's working you can flash original miui or custom roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, after i tried to flash to EU ROM i got new MIUI version which 12.04 , in global its 12.02. However the problem still happening or still remain unsolved. The bluetooth & wifi still cant be turned on, i tried on CIT it also not working and everytime the i try to open wifi & bluetooth settings , the settings always freeze and crash probably because it error. Is there any other solution you can provide?

I think, if you have done a really clean flash with formating data, that it's a hardware problem.

yes, i did i already follow the instructions & having no error at all for the ROM and other stuff except the WiFi & Bluetooth.
But for me its just really weird, my phone looks still great from outside no bend, dent, or crack it never fall as well.
The problem starts occurring by itself like the system is forcing the Bluetooth & WiFi to off then at some point the WiFi is connected but not transferring any data after restart everything fixed then its not working at all, which when i tried to turn it on it will freeze or the system not responding or off by itself.
btw appreciate your answer, i'm still waiting for other solution if possible :crying:

Are you shure that you've got a global version. I had nearly the same probs as I've flashed the global on my eu hardware.

In my personal opinion there're 2 possibilities
Damaged hardware
Or
Modem Partition wrong or damaged
MODEM or RADIO - the phone's radio
Also called baseband, it is responsible for signals and on older devices may control wifi, bluetooth, and GPS (on most newer devices, these are handled by the kernel and ROM). Upgrades are country dependent and may improve or diminish battery performance, network signal strength, and roaming capability. It is also sometimes required to have a minimum Baseband version to use a ROM so that the RIL will play nice with the Baseband.
Modem firmware is a mini-OS for the cellular radio chip which has its own processor. Firmware is a general term, firmware exists for a lot of things on phone. The wireless chip for WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth often has a firmware as can the GPU core among other things. These firmware files are usually located inside the SYSTEM or VENDOR partition. The modem firmware is special because it has its own separate Baseband Processor (BP) so the firmware is left out of the system image in its own partition.
Modem is not an Android-specific partition. It is tied to the hardware of the phone, but the kernel has a code allowing Android to interact with the hardware. But the baseband processor (BP) - which runs modem and is responsible for all communication through mobile networks e.g. call, SMS and internet - is totally isolated from Application Processor (the one we call CPU) and is not governed by Android kernel; it runs an independent RTOS.
May it helps you for getting a solution....

Thanks for the long and detailed explanation . My mobile network & GPS still work properly without any issues.
but idk if the Bluetooth & WiFi chip maybe fried inside
Maybe i just dont have any other option except to fix in mi store.
Once again thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:.
