Recovery and Kernel for CyanogenMod 12

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.

[SOLVED][D503][5.1.1] Wifi keeps dropping after 5.1.1 update

Hello,
After getting the latest 5.1.1 OTA (build 23.4.A.0.546), my Wifi connection keeps dropping irregularly: sometimes the connection is stable for one hour, most of the times it drops after a few seconds. This happens on any Wifi network (tried both home, work and public Wifi).
Sometimes after a reboot the WLAN mac address is "unknown" and then I can't get a connection at all (I have to reboot until my mac address "comes back")
The connection drop happens in Safe mode as well.
Steps I've tried to fix this:
-Repair phone with PC Companion => doesn't change anything, Wifi is even unavailable during the setup process after initial boot.
-Tried flashing with Flashtool to a previous Lollipop version (5.0.2 23.1.A.128 which worked fine with my phone before) =>
doesn't work: I can't flash the device, despite installing the latest (0.9.19.0) version of Flashtool and the drivers, I have the following error when preparing the firmware:
Code:
16/054/2015 18:54:07 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803). FW release : 23.1.A.1.28. Customization : Customized_FR
16/054/2015 18:54:07 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
16/054/2015 18:54:07 - ERROR -
16/054/2015 18:54:07 - INFO - Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled
The firmware was downloaded through Mega, with a link provided in the Xda forum thread with the firmwares list.
For the sake of it, I tried with two different firmwares: another downloaded from the forum, and one from Xperifirm; unfortunately the same error happens in Flashtool when preparing the firmware.
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

I'm using same version firmware and the Wifi works perfectly. have you tried deactivate "Auto IP support" and "Passpoint"? and try turn off Stamina mode.

Yes, both Auto IP support and Passpoint are deactivated.
The issue persists with or without Stamina mode activated as well.

ok. i don't know what is the problem with the wifi so try download different firmware from forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706 i flashed lollipop 5.1.1 NORDIC and it works fine. my previous firmware was lollipop 5.0.2 GLOBAL.

I've downloaded two firmwares from that list and tried to flash my phone with Flashtool without success.
I already had installed the drivers while disabling the Driver Check Enforcement as specified on your link, and tried with the method described in http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/ as well but I'm having the same error message.
Any idea on how what I could have missed to make Flashtool work?
Thanks for your help.

Make sure you have the latest version of Flashtool and place it on root path C:/ or external HDD E:/ G:/ and so on. Firmware must be placed in C:/users/<your username>/.firmware (not sure if it is correct)

Thanks to you, I was able to find my mistake: I was foolishly trying to create the bundle from the downloaded firmware, but I just needed to paste the downloaded firmware in the folder: C:\Users\<UserName>\.flashTool\firmwares
I was able to flash my device with the 5.0.2 Lollipop version and the WiFi is working fine so far.
Still don't know why I had problems with 5.1.1 in the first place but I can work with the previous version while waiting for 6.x.x.
Thanks again for your help.

I'm having WiFi issue on 5.1.1 too, on my Z3 compact. Sometimes (seeming randomly) after waking the phone, the wifi icon in the status bar has a ' ! ' next to it for a while and I don't get an internet connection untill the ' ! ' is gone. Usually takes around 5 to 15 seconds.

Fix wifi stock rom

Well folks, I've been browsing the Stock Rom after having installed CyanogemMod / LineageOS a few times and realized that they all had no problems on wifi and they used the same Stock Rom drivers, and after all that, guess what Was the problem that so many of us always broke the head of why the wireless stopped working ?! There were two drivers, and for an error in some file our Ouya's always ended up choosing the wrong driver, well let's go to the tutorial.
The files and folders below must be renamed or deleted, and after that the device must be restarted.

XZ3 wifi problems

I'm just having a lot of problems withmy xperia xZ3 (H9394). In Monday, I updated google services and after that, the phone didn't connect to wifi or mobile data. I make a factory reset but it didn't work. I assumed the problem came from that update and everything will be fixed if I downgraded firmware. I tried first with sony emma flashtool, but I needed the bootload of my device to be unlocked. I unlocked it (yes, I screwed it) but emma said "no available services matched", so I tried it with newflasher and downgraded firmware, but it stayed in bootloop. So, I return to original firmware (52.1.A.3.92-R4C). It boot normally, but I have the same issues with wifi and mobile data, sometimes it works, but connects and disconnects constantly.
Someone can say me what can I do? I know that I can't relock bootloader.
@MartinX3 I know that you are a master, colud you help me?
Thanks! <3

I would look if that problem is the same on a custom ROM. (But flash on both slots and boot the latest stock first until you reach the desktop)
Or if it only happens with a specific WiFi, maybe the router need updates or a fix.

What did you mean with flash both slots?
I have tried it with rom H9493_Customized CN_52.1.A.3.92-R14C, wifi and mobile data works. The problem now are the google services. I think it's a firmware problem...

Hello. I flashed again with 52.1.A.3.92-R4C custom Taiwan downloaded from xperifirm and it work for a time. First, I didn't have any issue with wifi and had 4G signal, but after hours, the problems came again and lost mobile and wifi signals. At that moment, I couldn't even activate wifi, when I turned it on it turned off immediately. For some reason, I activated airplane mode and turn on wifi and it worked, but when I turn off airplane mode, lost wifi signal. It's very strange. I think it's some problem with mobile data or something.
I will flash A/B slots. For that, I need the GSI and ASOP (Android 10.0 – Kernel 4.14 – Tama) img and I must do it with platform-tool, right? I don't need a firmware in tft?
Thanks.

For the custom ROMs you need to have the latest firmware on both slots and booted once until you reach your apps.
Then just follow the instructions of the XDA threads and don't forget a fullwipe.

Hello again. I downloaded Android 10 GSI from https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases and AOSP 10 for XZ3 from https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-tama/. I used the latest platform tools. I flashed oem_a, oem_b, system_a and system_b. After that, I did a wipe with fastboot -w command and finally reboot my device.
I checked that everything worked fine. Wifi and both sims worked fine.
After that I flashed the firmware H9493_Customized TW_52.1.A.3.92-R4C with newflasher and wiped it again. Did I do everything correctly?
Thanks.

If anyone wonders, no. It didn't work. I tried with custom roms and it was the same

I tried everything. I tried installing LineageOs, pixelsperience, Sony AOSP 10, 11, gsi 10, 11, and stock roms and nothing. Sims are detected some time, but stop after a while. i put an sd card instead of a sim card and it was not detected. I assume it is a hardware problem.
Well, thanks for helping

I'm having this exact same problem on my XZ3, thought I was going crazy but makes me think it's maybe not hardware related to find someone else with the problem...

Xq-at52 not certified devixe

Hi everyone,
Need some serious help please,
I have a xqat52, bought in January 21.
In the UK, on three the handset would not go into 5G.
After reading up, I decided to flash xq-at51 successfully to the UK rom. Everything was working lovely...
Received OTA updates and never had issues with updates or Google.
Device was certified and google pay and bank apps work fine.
2 weeks ago I received ota update and since then my device is no longer certified.
1 week ago received another ota now build 58.1.A.5.507 and device is still not certified.
I tried experia companion full repair with no luck, still same issue.
I sent the handset to Sony Uk for repair, and they factory reseted it back to stock XQat 52, but the device still shows as not certified and bank app and google pay no longer works,
at this point I am thinking in rooting my device and use magisk....
my bootloader is locked, never unlocked (i checked and so did Sony) but I am able to unlock it...
what do you guys think I should do, I want it to be a XQat51 for Uk and have it certified or rooted hidden.
any advise will be really appreciated, and this will bring back memories of rooting android when i had my HTC and where it all started
Thanks in advance

Update.
Went the rooted way. Not looking back.
Not so simple, but we'll worth it
Plenty of google search.
Android Kitchen which I didn't use before
Didn't really have a choice to get my 1ii working properly again.
All repairs / flash stock did not help no matter what I flashed UK / eu dual Sim / single Sim
Back to full stock from Sony HK version still didn't help
My android is now how I want it.
Shame on Sony for not helping and still waiting for a response.
Google store device now certified again.
Google pay working again.
All banks working
Fingerprint working
Netflix l3 not l1 but I don't use anyway.
Cinema Pro and photo Pro working
4k creator mode and Sony dynamic vibration working
Full root permission and able to customise like I use to when I 1st started with kitkat
Android is going down the apple way unfortunately, not so open anymore...
Good luck to anyone doing the same,

I'm glad for you.
I just bought a second hand XQ-AT51, and didn't noticed when I bought it that the Wi-fi and Bluetooth are not working.
And also that the bootloader is unlocked, and it seems that fast charging is not working.
Everything works fine as far as I see (camera, features).
I don't know what the previous owner did.
I didn't find anybody saying about Wi-fi and Bluetooth not working after Bootloader unlock/root Xperia 1 ii.
I tried locking bootloader and Xperia Companion software repair, same version 58.1.A.5.507 (as I see the latest) before repair and after.
Nothing changed.
Then I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp as recovery (probably not necessary in my case) and flashed the stock software with Flashtool, latest (the same as before) from xperifirm. But I got some messages some things didn't flashed (didn't save the message).
Still the same.
Do you have any idea about DRM keys needed (as I know older Xperias pretty much lost the camera without backup and restore to some files)
Or do you have any "spare" backup files that I might need and work for different devices?
Thanks!

I flashed xq-at51 from Xperia with flasher.
I don't think drm will affect Bluetooth or WiFi?
Mine are lost anyway, once bootloader unlocked its gone! I was prepare to loose them.
Connectivity issues you mention I
Never had that problem despite locking unlocking bootloader and flashing various rom xqat52 HK or Asian and xq-at51 UK and EU.
Might be something else you are experiencing on the phone directly , run a sony test through the app "support" it has a connectivity section. Might give you a better idea before flashing anything else.
I think you can also do it via phone codes *#.......
Google it, it will enter service menu, you can test your handset this way too.

Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't think of trying Support.
But forgot to say, in the Settings at About it says MAC address unavailable for both Wi-fi and BT.
With code *#*#4636#*#* it says Wi-fi Mac address 02:00:00:00.....
As I found some older forums for other devices with about the same issue and being from flashing not proper firmware, I honestly don't know what's going on, since I flashed the stock firmware again, maybe some files are not flashed again because I'm flashing over the same firmware.
Hopefully, I will find a solution.

Latest ver of flasher ? V52
With flasher, if I remember correctly
I chose command a android reboot
N to dump (did once the 1st time as a backup)
I did choose partition persist
No to everything else.
Maybe try and repair with companion make sure it gets back to factory stock rom with correct variant.
Do a factory reset within the phone
(I know I did several, after each flash)
Then reflash with flasher, also might be worth redownloading a clean rom and put in a new folder, so it's clean and not changed.
Add flasher (latest) to that folder and do another clean install.
The rapair tool from Sony failed few times on me, not sure why, but sony software somehow still knew my Xperia 1ii was originally a xq-at52 and would not repair / so I had to flash using flasher xq-at52 stock rom, then repair then flash back using flasher to xq-at51.
Sony repair if successful is your best bet... Once repaired properly you can do it again and again.

I just realised you mention flash tool, use flasher. Exe no issues...
Download from Xperia firm your rom. (always the same or higher)
Downloader flasher (latest)
Few files to copy straight into the same folder as the extracted Xperia firm folder.
Run the flasher. Exe
Follow instructions
Should flash everything correctly.
I bootloop mine and bricked few times...
Flasher rebooted it every time.

Thanks, I didn't knew about newflasher.
But I see that it's skipping persist (flashtool was also skipping persist)
Skipping persist_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin
And also
Skipping partition-image-LUN0_124936192_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin
And I read somewhere that it's skipping .sin that are not matching.
But maybe if I flash them I will solve my issue.
As I see older versions have the options to write or skip. Did you write it? If I write it I will lose attest keys? Because at mine it says Android Attest Key Provisioned after relocking the bootloader, but was Not Provisioned before.
I guess I have to backup persist.sin if I want to flash it and for that I need to root.
Do you think that flashing persist might solve my issues? Or it will give me more issues
