Is there a good/complete guide on how to install carbon rom nougat on our device? cause i always end up on bootloop after install.
Much more if without the use of Computer, We know not all here have access to desktop/laptop.
Thanks in advance.
(if someone make a new thread about a complete guide, then i will delete this in the future)
I guess your phone is not rooted yet and you have locked bootloader. Follow this great guide up till step 7. Download CarbonROM from its thread and opengapps for 7.1. Probably worth adding Magisk as well.
For flashing TWRP recovery (step 8 of the linked guide) use command "fastboot flash FOTAKernel <TWRP file name>". Unplug and boot into recovery by holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN. Use the rest of the guide as a reference. Also, for more instructions check individual threads of custom roms (CarbonROM, LineageOS, OmniROM, usually in the first or second post are instructions that should cover your last step.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I have bought a new SP, and gave my last one to my wife, so I have a chance to start fresh.
I can't stand the bloating on the phone, and would like a light, fast lollipop ROM on it that still lets me use Sony's photo apps if possible. This one seems right for me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-sabermod-t3219230).
The problem I am experiencing is that when I go to various builds, I am having trouble understanding the instructions, and how to do what they are asking. I understand that I need to break the bootloader first, and then do something after that, and then install drivers, etc.. but I feel like a bit of an idiot because I just don't get it.
The instructions for one that I was thinking of putting on reads as follows :
* place the phone in fastboot mode, and flash the boot.img from the latest build: sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
* enter Cyanogen Recovery
* flash the TWRP zip you downloaded via Cyanogen Recovery.
* shutdown and reboot into TWRP recovery.
* wipe/format /system /data /cache /dalvik.
* flash latest available build, and flash gapps.
* reboot and you're done.
Questions
- How do I flash the boot.img from the latest build? What is boot.img? What does "sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img " mean?
- How do I enter Cyanogen Recovery? What is it? Where do I get it?
- How do I flash the TWRP zip?
I could go on. I really need a step by step guide, or some systematic way to educate myself.
Can you suggest a ROM with a step by step guide, or one with a youtube video showing how it is done (walkthrough) or similar?

Use this Guide to understand about Custom ROMs, Bootloaders, Flashing ROMs, Kernel and Recovery. Specific to Xperia SP.
Take your time to read, if didn't understand something, search for it on Google, you'll understand things
There are many more generic device Guides, but this Guide is Specifically for our Device.
Once you read the guide, then you'll understand the Instructions given in any ROM thread.

make backup of drm partition, unlock bootloader then start flashing roms
How to root the phone what is the first step I have to do ?? For upgrade to cm12 to cm14 .. I am a begginer please tell me step by step ...
1Download kingo root app
2 download rashr
3flash twrp recovery
4download any ROM and gapps
5 clean flash but before that make backup
I think much of what you seek can be achieved by reading these instructions carefuly. Be sure to do exactly as mentioned in the lines, especially if it is your first time. Good luck.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash twrp
3. That's it, now flash any rom via recovery.
I'm trying to root my N6 but the process is a nightmare compared to the old ways I used to know. I followed the guide on this forum to successfully unlock the phone but there is no current root guide.
Device is n6f27m Android 7.1.1
- Chainfire failed (outdated)
- Nexus Root Toolkit couldn't auto detect phone settings and appears to have stopped updating around 7.0
- I keep hitting dead end outdated guides
- I've read some vague detail about fastboot install TWRP followed by SuperSU but nothing is clear
Can someone please direct me to a root guide or explain the process that actually works.
Three steps:
1) unlock bootloader
2) fastboot flash twrp
3) download root app and flash it in twrp
Magisk is generally the recommended root app these days.
I can go into more details about each step, but I don't know how much you already know.

You're a legend! Thanks for the direction, all is going well now.
So today, I decided it was time to give the Pixel Experience ROM a try, because well.. it is one of the very few available for this phone for now (although some nice development arms to be going on for this phone).
Thing is, I couldn't succeed in any way at all. There is the Device page with its own instructions in the change logs:
https://download.pixelexperience.org/xqau52
FLASH OEM V9C AND NEWER OR YOUR DEVICE WON'T BOOT ********** IMPORTANT: README ********** ### Be sure to have the latest ODM, even when you get a OTA!!! ### To get this ROM and the OTA updater to work fine, you NEED TO follow a few steps: 1. Download Androxyde's FlashTool 2. Flash the latest STOCK firmware for your device, in order to get a bootloader bugfix for unlocked A/B 3. Before flashing this ROM through your favorite recovery environment, you *HAVE TO* flash the latest Sony Open Devices binaries for your device through fastboot. They cannot be distributed in this zip package because you have to accept their EULA. ** Make sure you flash the Sony ODM image to both slots: fastboot flash oem_a SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_(blahblah) fastboot flash oem_b SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_(blahblah) P.S.: If you get signature verification errors on TWRP, remember to disable package signature verification in the TWRP settings!!!

But then, there is also the generic installation guide here:
https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/xqau52/install/
(I'm not going to quote this page because the install instructions is all there is on that page.)
Now the two instructions are quite contradictionary, and I couldn't figure out which one to follow, so I ended up following the part from the changelog that said to flash the Open Devices binaries to both slots (couldn't find the stock ROM but used Emma to clean flash it first), then flashed TWRP unofficial from the XDA device forums (tried both, stock and the other one) and was able to boot into TWRP. Since the device page kind of stopped there, I subsequently flashed the ROM as described on the installation page and got the device corrupt error upon booting the ROM, and the device stopped there. Couldn't get it to work.
Does anyone have any experience with tue installation of this ROM for this phone? I did prefer LOS but am quite eager to give this ROM a try, I just can't stand being unable to use navigation gestures in a normal way with a custom launcher (bad Sony!).
I have something similar but worse. The phone stopped working. It shows red light and it blinks by 30s interval. Can anyone help?
Hi all... been following this guide on XDA on how to get TWRP on my Tab S2 t813.
How to install TWRP recovery on Android smartphones
Installing TWRP on an Android device is the first step towards custom development.
www.xda-developers.com
My samsung is now in the 'downloading, do not turn off target" phase...
Now i'm trying to install TWRP via ADB, but its asking for the .img file. When i go to the TWRP site (from the guide), all it give me is .apks as downloads.
Don't want to move ahead unless I know i'm not going to brick this thing.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Check again the TWRP page that you visited. Right below the "App Install Method (Requires Root)" section, to which I assume you are referring, there is another section, titled "Download Links". Follow one of the "Primary (Americas)" or "Primary (Europe)" links, to get to the img files repository.
Assuming you want to install TWRP, because you want to install a custom ROM, check out the first post in that ROM's thread, to see if you need a custom build of TWRP, which they provide, or a specific official version.
