Hi, Sijav sir,
I used your prerooted C5503 4.3 version on my C5502. Worked well. Really thanks for your hard work.
You are simply great that you made it for 4.4 also.
I have few questions. Pl answer.
1. There is one more prerooted 4.4 available in forum. But install procedure is different. I am confused now. Pl clear my doubt.
2. Is there any problem to install C5503 on C5502. (I am now on C5503 4.4 already. No problem). But fear in mind.
3. Somewhere on Google, I read anyone can enable LTE by change in build.prop. Is it true? LTE is software base or hardware base?. (In India, presently no 4G, but in near future it will be available)
Advance Thanks for your patience for my questions.

1. about the procedures: all procedure is the same it's just my rom is some kind of backup of the current state of my own system folder compressed on tar which saves the permission on every file on itself, which will flash on your phone, as I didn't had any meta-info and somehow I couldn't get one by code and I'm too lazy to build it I did this just to be sure that all permission in your system folder are set to right amount, however using an old meta-info (which currently most dev do) is somehow workable and rom will boot but some problems and malfunctioning may occur later. So I just played it safe.
2. Network vendors (BT and WIFI) are different in C5502 and C5503, I have saw many C5502 broken BT and WiFi, they had also flashed C5503 on C5502!
Flashing another phones rom on yours will result malfunctioning or bricking your phone! So I suggest under any circumstances please Flash a ROM specifically build for your phone just to be safe! (better safe than sorry right? )
3. LTE is hardware base! you can disable it in build.prop, you can enable it too. but if your hardware does not supported then it's nonsense!
OOUPS I flashed the the ROM with PHILZ TOUCH 6 - I did not know that it PHILZ until I saw it on screen at the end....what is the risk and the consequences?
By vanilla recovery...

Hello, here is 4.4 pre-rooted stock firmware
5. Run NDR Utils app and select vanilla recovery (IMPORTANT)

You mean CWM Recovery, yes?
(And for anyone who can't boot into CWM, go install ROM Manager from Play Store and click Reboot into Recovery once you've set up CWM in the app)

yes CWM recovery, or even TWRP if you have it.
when you install dual recovery you can even change the philz name to cwm and vice versa. or use NDRUtil to go to cwm.
it's easy

Thank for info.
I rooted and installed dual recovery from desktop.
But now I can not boot into recovery by hardware key or NDRUtil also.
I have installed Xperia Xposed module and then I can boot into recovery (But in Philz. by default)
But is it safe?? I have to install prerooted rom.
In case any problem, how to boot into recovery without hardware key.

Strange, if you have installed adb by pressing up you will go to philz touch or pressing down button you will go to twrp.
you might not installed it correctly!
anyways if you have adb you can pass this command > adb reboot recovery, this will let you to go to recovery but ONLY to philz touch.

I boot into recovery through Xperia Xposed only. No other option was working.
It was safe or not, I dont know.
Anyway working perfect as of now. Future dont know.
I dare to do this, because you devs are there for any big problem.
Thanks to you and Thibou for hard work & such a fantastic prerooted rom.

yeah that old philz recovery might works but the newer by NUT have lots and lots of bugs in flashing anything with metadata and some other binary including the CM! which won't flash at all!!
Mate. Can you guide me?
I'm currently on CM11 and I want to flash and see if stock ROM works better for me than CM11, for testing sake and also 'cuz I miss the camera terribly.
Should I follow the instructions in the OP, or is there another long method? I don't want to brick my phone so a li'l guidance could do me.
Thanks en avance.

Hi, I followed the guide to install CWM and it seemed to go fine, but when I power on the phone and tap the vol-down key nothing happens, I do get the vibrations as I'm doing it though. Is CWM really necessary to install a custom rom? Cos I might just skip it.
You can't flash a custom rom without cwm recovery.

O lol, I guess I need to solve this then. I thought I just used FlashTool to flash the rom and viola, rom is on.
Does anyone have any ideas what I might be able to try to figure out why CWM isn't working? Any way to see if CWM is actually on my phone? (Maybe it's just not there, rather then not working).
Edit: Rom Manager seems to think I have CWM installed, also I did a Nandroid Backup which seemed to be configured to use CWM so I don't know if it's there or not, or working or not
Which guide did you follow? And how did you make a Nandroid Backup?
I followed this guide.
I downloaded Nandroid Backup Root, it created the backup without rebooting the phone, so it never needed to boot into CWM.

That's what I thought. The fact that it can create a backup doesn't mean it has a recovery installed, it doesn't use a recovery to create it. If the LED is lighting up at boot, and it is vibrating, and it doesn't get back in, I don't know what the problem would be. I'd try reinstalling CWM, and FYI, you should use V8; V9 has issues.
At the very least, if it really is installed, you should have a "recovery.tar" and "chargemon" file in /system/bin/.

I don't have those files so CWM is not installed. I can't find v8 of CWM for Xperia T but I found this file "CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip", is that it?

It clearly says "Xperia T" in the name of that file... yes, that's it. Now I'm wondering what you installed, if you didn't install that one, or V9.

V8 works perfectly, it's installed fine.
I am going to follow this guide to install cyanogenmod, do I need to obtain a bootloader unlock code? Or should I just skip right to installing the ROM?

First of all, yes, you need an unlocked bootloader. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked bootloader. Secondly, I've never tried that tutorial (I have a TX), but I'm assuming it should work fine, but, personally I'd either go with FXP, or one of the OMNI builds here in XDA, since, as far as I know, developers here have more fixes than what I've seen on FXP and/or CM.
Also, there are a easier ways to flash your ROM, since you already have a custom ROM. I don't think it's necessary to have to fastboot the kernel first.
Edit: The Carbon ROM I'm on also has a T version. The reason I'm on this ROM (and previously OMNI) was because FXP/CM roms have/had a battery drain that was never fixed, something that was fixed here on XDA.

No, that tutorial won't work. Never follow a guide for flashing ROMs that wasn't meant for your phone. Your phone didn't even exist yet when that guide was written.
If you can't unlock your bootloader then there is no way you'll ever be able to flash a custom ROM, because, like I mentioned earlier, custom ROMs have custom kernels, and custom kernels need an unlocked bootloader.
I wouldn't consider it a waste, it's always useful to have a recovery installed; with it you can at the very least backup and restore, flash deodexed/zipaligned stock ROMs, such as this one, flash files, and even have access to ADB if your phone doesn't boot up, which can save you from having to wipe everything, etc., so not a complete waste of time.

Ok, well, I learned a bit in the process, and I still have an Xperia SP bootloader to unlock, then flash cyanogenmod, so I'm in a better position to handle that now, thanks for all the help guys.

Okay good to hear, yesterday I also flashed this rom btw it's super smooth and a amazing rom:good: but the only thing I have a problem with right now is the random reboots that occur. So maybe I should provide a log to you, only I don't really know how to do that because I never had to provide logs haha. the reboots occur at times when I turn my wifi on or off or other moments but it could also be something else I really don't know actually why it happens sometimes and the other moments everything is as it should be so......

since nobody reported that, that means its becuz of your apps or your data restore
clean flash the rom, and don't restore any apps or settings, if no random reboot for 12 hours minimum; then its becuz of you, not me :angel:

stop being a noob and become a newbie bro! by reading in threads or using search button...philz , dual or whatever from stock roms won't work on my roms.
u must fastboot flash a cm11 kernel and make your wipes+ rom and gapps flashing from there. cm recovery is broken for eveyone.
and on cm/aocp roms, recovery in included in kernel so if u flash my rom and the kernel is included in zip pacjage, for sure u gonna loose recovery!
Nice work.
Just flashed this ROM and no bugs at all till now.
Hey there!
I flashed the v7. it starts fine , but after a few mins i get the "system ui" has crashed :/
Being fixed...wait for next build
I really would like to try the new CM12 ROM, but using this device as a daily driver I'd like to be able to go back to the current ROM without too many difficulties. So I was wondering if there is a way to fully backup the device (on PC would be perfect) and by that I mean firmware, installed apps, settings, data, ... all of it; install the CM12 and if something goes wrong flash the backup with everything in it.
Thank you guys.

Do fully backup and restore whenever you want
P.S: dont use wipe dalvik/cache button after flash anything, will crash your partitions.
Hi all,
I've Z1 which is not used in last 2 years. It has dirty unicorns 9.something, unlocked bootloader and root.
My Nexus 6p is giving troubles so I need to use Z1, I was wondering is there an active ROM right now or devs moved away from Z1 (I ask this cause most of the threads in original development seems to suggest that). I normally don't use ROMs from Android development since I've already deleted those DRM keys and stock drivers/firmware won't be useful (I looked in there as well though, and see only lineage active but the dev doesn't have display anymore)
I'll check AOSP branch from Sony itself until then thought I might as well ask the community.
Thanks

Carbon Rom is the only one active right now which is only for Security updates (they're working on Oreo that's why) and they might update faster if a there's a new vulnerability to fix.

I flashed TWRP with fastboot flash boot instead of fastboot flash recovery so it was giving me single use TWRP and so on.
