[Q] Installing RomAur by Auras problems

Hi there!
I'm trying hard to get the custom rom RomAur running at my Xperia Z but I'm having some trouble to finally installing it.
Thread to the Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167064
What has to be done:
1 - Unlock bootloader - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2 - Copy rom to ext sdcard
3 - This rom if come without kernel , to get recovery flash DooMLoRD advanced stock kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2167381
4 - Enter to recovery
5 - Make sure to do a Factory Reset/ Wipe data / system/cache before installing ROM
6 - Install rom
7 - Reboot system
8 - On disable flash recovery stock say no to get init.d support
9 - Enjoy
What I managed so far:
1 - Unlock bootloader - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2 - Copy rom to ext sdcard
3 - This rom if come without kernel , to get recovery flash DooMLoRD advanced stock kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2167381
4 - Enter to recovery
Problem is: After doing a factory reset I don't know how to finally install the custom rom. Could somebody help me with that? If I manage to get it working on my Xperia Z I will write a step by step-guide to install custom rom with that phone.

Hi There,
Maybe you should have posted this into the forum of the Rom.
But to install it - once you have copied the Zip file to your device - you select 'Install from Zip' from the main menu of the recovery - select the Zip file and wait while it installs - reboot - Done!
Cheers
Paul

So far I managed to install the advanced stock kernel and get root on my device (using fastboot.exe and BusyBox). So after that I enter recovery mode using Quick Boot. Then I have to do factory reset as found in preferences on my device. So far I think I got it.
But after that I have to wipe my data, system and cache. How do I do that and go on with the steps upcoming? After doing that I normally have to configure the device again for letting me use Recovery Manager and stuff like that, or don't I? So how should I do the full wipe?
Thank you for your suggestions so far!

the next step you should do is to flash the CWM..
follow guide in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167381
afterward you can do full wipe from the CWM and proceed to use CWM install zip function to flash the new aur rom.

Sorry, I thought this was the right place to ask, because I don't want to spam in other forums. Maybe you could move it?

I tried both ways, copying the zip file to root of the device itself and onto sd card (RomAur V1.1 XZ C6603.zip, FAT32 formatted 16 gb sd card). But Recovery Manager doesn't show any of these files when I chose to install from sd card.
sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker :silly:

ok, I'll do that again. I tried this yesterday already and so I do have a few questions:
from the guide you sent me:
download the advanced stock kernel (contains recovery)
reboot device into fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now flash the recovery using
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.img
[where kernel.img is the name of the file image u downloaded]
thats it!
As I use "adb reboot bootloader" it keeps telling me "error: device not found", even though its connected to PC using fastboot mode and "fastboot devices" shows my Xperia Z as connected in fastboot mode. What do I do wrong?
Second question: Is the advanced stock kernel with recovery the one I already installed? Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img? Or Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img? So which kernel do I use in the last step?

I finished it and I just made some stupid mistake in my procedure (I was alredy wondering how Xperia Z can be so hard to put a new rom into..). I'll write a How-To for newbies the until monday. Thanks for your help so far!

How to install RomAur (and other ROMS) on Sony Xperia Z
This is how I managed to install RomAur at my Xperia Z. After realizing my mistake I noticed it's not much different to other android devices.
1. So first to install kernels and get root I unlocked the boot loader using this really good descriptions:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
http://www.techethon.com/root-sony-xperia-z-tutorial-easy-how-to/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
2. Then I started the device in fastboot mode by pressing volume + while connecting to PC and used fastboot.exe (shift+right click in the containing folder to start cmd) typing in this:
fastboot flash boot Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-350_v2.img
IMPORTANT Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-350_v2.img was contained in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Maybe there is already another new kernel to do this with, this one worked for me. Starting the device in fastboot mode can also be achieved by usind this command before flashing with the new kernel: adb reboot bootloader
3. Anyway after flashing I typed in this: fastboot reboot
4. Then I've put the zip file onto my micro sd (fat32 formatted, 16gb) and restarted the device disconnected from PC. This is what I've done wrong :silly:
While the device went on I pressed volume + when the SONY screen showed up and the led started to flash in several colors.
5. Now in the menu wiped/cleared/formatted everythin except the external sd-card and installed the "update" by using volume buttons to navigate and power button to confirm.
This is what worked for me. I might have forgotten some stuff so in case there might be something to add, just reply on this!

[4.4.x – CM11] Baseband problem : read this for my solution

Hi, few days ago I tried to flash CM11 and was disappointed with the no signal / no IMEI / no SIM problem...
I found a solution that worked perfectly for me :
1) Download and install latest recommended CWM recovery 6.0.4.5, easy to find on XDA
2) Download the latest 4.1 (not 4.3 or you will be stuck with KNOX security) firmware (on Sammobile for example).
3) Download latest CM11 nightly (and/or Paranoid GAPPS if you want them...) and copy the archive files on your SD Card then remove the SD Card from your phone.
4) Download latest modem for GT-I9305 (XXUEMK1).
5) Reboot in Download mode and flash CMW Recovery using Odin, Heimdall (tutorials on XDA...).
6) Reboot into CWM Recovery.
7) Wipe EVERY partition including those in "mounts and storage" section.
8) Reboot in Download mode.
9) Extract the downloaded Samsung package and flash the .tar.md5 file using Odin, Heimdall.
10) Reboot again in Download mode.
11) Flash the latest downloaded modem with Odin or Heimdall.
12) Power off your phone and then put back your SD Card with archive files on it.
13) Boot into CWM Recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory reset and wipe /system partition in "mounts and storage" section then flash your archive files.
14) Reboot normally.
15) Enjoy.
All of these steps may not be necessary, you may just have to flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, wipe everything and try again to flash your CM11 ROM. But this is to be sure that the problem does not comes from somewhere else by restoring the phone at its factory state.
I know this is very long, but I think you could have broken some partitions with previous flashes, this guide helps you to repair bad things and you should flash all 4.4.x stuff using the latest ClockworkMod Recovery version.
I hope this will work for you guys, send feedbacks !

Boot loop after installing CM 13 + TWRP on SM-G900K

Hey,
All my steps:
1. Root device: LINK
2. Install TWRP: LINK
3. Install new CyanogenMod by this LINK
After installing CyanogenMod 13 and boot.img my device just in boot loop.
I've tried install 12 CM, but no luck.
So ... what I need to do ?!
Thank you for your HELP !

Okay, to install the cm there athe this steps:
1 - Open TWRP (I don't know what you used, but i assume you used this one https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar.html )
2 - Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, Data and System (do not wipe Micro SDCard or Internal Storage, you need your zips)
2.5 - Wipe System is the only one you probably doens't HAVE to do, but i recommend to do. The other 3 are 101% necessary, because old apps or app caches WILL bootloop you.
IF YOU WIPED SYSTEM, DO NOT REBOOT
3 - Install the Rom Zip file (Extracted from the post https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/klte-latest.zip )
4 - Install Open Gapps or (anything) Gapps for 6.0 (Again, extracted form the post http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano )
4.5 - As you know, the korean rom is kind different, it requires te boot.img for some reason, well, flash it. (This one, of course http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3823989&stc=1&d=1469502182 )
5 - Reboot and enjoy
If you did anything different or in any different order, i suggest you try again, and just a detail, this is the S5 Mini section, not the S5, DO NOT USE files you found here, they WILL bootloop your device
