Don't know why but when I use the v12 kernel on my device, sound is not coming from both internal speakers. Tried to switch back to v11, sound works but the accrolemeter, gyroscope and compass sensor doesn't.

I've tried several ROMS, including stock .101, Rom Aur v11 and ExistenZ Ultra Edition v6, do a full wipe, as well as update to the latest baseband but no luck.

ROM: Stock 10.4.1.B.0.101

Bootloader: unlocked

Phone wont boot after flashing BOOT.IMG through fastboot
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hider141:
Make sure that you're flashing the boot.img corresponding to your firmware version, and check the md5hash of the file to make sure the file wasn't corrupted at download or later.

And it's better to disable the internet connection and any antivirus installed on your system while flashing the image through fastboot, just to ensure that the antivirus isn't interfering with the flash process.
[Xperia Z Android Development] hypetaxx:
I already checked the MD5 of the file, it is OK, just tried flashing without AV and internet connection, no luck either.

Still the same result, phone stalls at the SONY logo unable to enter recovery (LED never turns purple(magenta))

Have anyone succesfully flashed v12 to with 10.4.1.B.0.101?
[Xperia Z Android Development] mrjayviper:
the advance stock kernel + recovery (labelled 10.4.1.b.0.101), would it work with .b.0.569? thanks very much
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Why wouldn't you just use v11, that's specifically for 569 roms? Links in the first post.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mrjayviper:
it clearly says v12 is only for b.0.101. maybe v11 is for 569? (101 is newer than 569?)

I'm new to yuga so please bear with me. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Yes, that's what I said. Use v11 for 569 roms. :)

Yes, 101 is newer than 569.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mrjayviper:
thanks. because 569 is a higher number, I thought that's the latest.
[Xperia Z Android Development] mrjayviper:
Can I use the advance stock and recovery on a locked boot loader? Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
No. If you read the first post, all the requirements and every detail you need are there. :)

Works like a charm

Just to say. Kitkat runs smoothly here.

Done the unlock, used the kernel from DoomLord, deleted bloatware and apps I dont use, used SDFIX, startup booster, batteryfix, SD Booster, Greenify and rebooted the device like 20 times. No whatsoever slowdown. Very good battery time here.

Great work like always.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Soulfly1976:
SDFIX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Startup booster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.startupmanager I use to stop almost everything thats its not needed

Batteryfix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix wait till its battery is fully loaded and follow the steps.

SD Booster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster I tend to set it to 2048

Greenify (I use the paid one) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix Good app to hibernate apps running in the background

Also you need to delete bloatware and such using a File Explorer. Search forum what´s save to delete or keep.

I have also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod running and limited the CPU to 1200. Saves a lot of battery actually.

hi does this kernel support an alternative to mp-decision like intelli_plug or other.... i disabled mp-decision to fix audio stutter and it works good but just wanted to enable an alternative which seems to be recommended. thanks.

[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Re: [RECOVERY] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.2.7 for Xperia Z (Stock Kernel) [RELEASED!]

That's because it's backing up thr entire internal storage...

This device doesn't have a dedicated sdcard partition internally

So all your data stored on internal storage is mounted at /data/media

Depending on the stuff on the internal storage the backup will take time...

You can verify this by checking the size of the final backup folder and more importantly the size of data.tar files...

I have another recovery version in testing which is a kind of workaround.. It's currently been tested...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ratcom:
I know this is really going to sound silly but as this is my first Sony device ever I've got to ask ........... How do I access the CWM recovery? which key do I press and when :o

Also correct me if I'm wrong but could I just unlock my bootloader then flash this CWM version and from recovery flash RomAur?

Sorry for asking but I dont want to brick my nice new sony :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] elroy944:
turn phone off... turn on. wait till sony logo appears and tan when you see the led going on then press around 5-7 times volume up. that should bring you to recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] ratcom:
Thanks mate :D One more question if I may .... Do I need to root before flashing recovery or can I skip that step due to recovery being with the Kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
you only need to unlock bootloader before flashing kernel/recovery...

Is there a way to backup the phone without it backing up my internal sd? (I assume it backs up the internal sd as I get 9GB+ backups...}

[Xperia Z Android Development] Roscobigfoot:
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I'm running stock 10.5.A.0.230 and this kernel (flashed boot.img via fastboot) and the recovery can't find any files on local / sd storage. It lists some default directories for internal but they are all said as empty. SD Card just wont mount at all, it sits for 45 secs then returns 'failed to mount'. I therefore can't flash a SU binary and apk or flash the full kernel zip (which may fix this). Anyone able to explain why the mounting is broken? And if flashing the full kernel zip would fix it? C6603 btw.

I have the Play Services WakeLock issue and need to root to fix so it's kinda hard to live with like 2 hour battery life and no solution.
[Xperia Z Android Development] TwoPointZero:
I had the same issue, because my ext sd is formatted as exfat. Try to use a dedicated, smaller card formatted using fat32 if you can.

Following the OT... don´t I have to rename "Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.4.2-230_v13.zip" to "update.zip" before flashing it? Or is the OT regarding flashing with a custom recovery? Just to get my head straight...

Well... I will be soon. I'm about to do that later today!

You have been Tapatalked! Bazinga!
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
The Z doesn't have a stock recovery. If you don't already have a custom recovery, you will have to first flash the boot.img via fastboot, boot into recovery, then flash the complete zip. Instructions for fastboot are in the first post.

Edit - Your signature says you don't have an Xperia Z. If you don't, then DO NOT flash this to any other device. You will brick your phone (maybe hard brick even).
[Xperia Z Android Development] Manneman32:
So then I was right to suspect that I have to fastboot the first custom recovery. That should really be stated in the OT!

I got this phone a couple of days ago... I´m not a stranger to flashing, but with every new phone there´s a learningtime...

My signature has been fixed!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Manneman32:
Can I use Flashtool to flash the Custom Recovery for the first time? I don´t feel comfortable with a commandprompt
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Yes, you can. In Flashtool, click on the lightning bolt icon and select fastboot mode. There is an option to flash a boot.img there. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Manneman32:
Thanx!

- Is this recovery compatible with the wipe feature of Android Device Manager ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
good question, but havent tested... afaik that wipe should be handled at ROM/APP level
[Xperia Z Android Development] Sichroteph:
Maybe I am wrong, but a wipe at recovery level seems on the paper a bit more secure as it won't let the phone boot on the rom until the factory reset is properly done. The cm recovery fails here for sure. If someone has backups ready that would be good to know too
[Xperia Z Android Development] nikkon:

[Xperia Z Android Development] nikkon:
Is there a way to install it on locked bootloader + root ?

[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
No. A requirement means just that. Your bootloader absolutely needs to be unlocked to flash the recovery.

If you have a working recovery already, then just flash the SuperSU zip and you're rooted.

It's off topic to keep asking these questions here, so please ask in the Q&A section if you need further assistance. ;)
