Flash rom then kernel

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Just Flash the ROM then flash allsparks unofficial doom kernel V20 and you will be good.

Doomkernel is having auto rotation issues however.

But its the easiest way to get up and running without the need of flash tool.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Thanks man, you've always been a huge help on this forum. Questino for you since you seem to understand what can and can't be done. Since there are auto rotation issues with Doom's kernel, could I just do the following?

Flash the rom and SuperUser Fix ( https://mega.co.nz/#!lY1hHYqC!J9ireB...d8QK8XnkgdX_FE ) and the recovery ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=Wk...EuZmxhc2hhYmxl )

• Flash 10.4.1.B.0.101 kernel only with flashtool (see FAQ). ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/download...Y5X1N0cmlwcGVk )

Essentially flash the rom via CWM that is currently on my device. Once done then flash the superuser fix, then flash recovery. Lastly fastboot and flash the kernel via flashtool?

This would essentially be following the same process the Dev provided by avoid going back to stock and then flashing dual recovery etc.. Seems those steps aren't needed and just creates extra work. Why does he have that process outlined then?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Doing it the way Niaboc laid out just ensures no mistakes are made. And gives newbies everything they need from root to recovery to kernel.

If you already have recovery installed, all you need to do is flash the rom, the SU fix, and then flash the kernel of your choice:

Doomkernel V20 if you want a flashable .zip (rotation issues)

.101 stock kerne or Kernel78 through flashtool (more complicated but working rotation)

Personally I hate using flashtool. Not for any good reason. I'm just more comfortable using CWM or TWRP.

But its such an amazing tool and is a great source of confidence knowing it can get you out of a jam.

I just prefer to use flashtool as a last resort, but thats just me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Understood thanks! I don't really want to deal with rotational issues however. Can you confirm if this kernel will work? It appears it will as its geared toward stock 4.3. roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624339

I really wish someone would just take the stock kerenel, add CWM and Tape2Wake. I would be very happy :). I love the tape2Wake feature I have in CM11, but really miss out on some of the nice Sony apps and Stock Camera app etc..
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Tap to wake is a feature of doom kernel ;)

It doesnt really have issues with rotation. Auto rotate just doesnt work.

I use an app to rotate the screen when i need to for now.

Hopefully allspark will update DoomKernel and fix the rotation issues.

But yes Kernel 78 should work just fine. Its just not a flashable .zip is all. Just use flashtool and you will be good!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Krllo:
Hey people, i just discovered that the problem about rotation issue were with the Kernel for EXISTENTZ rom.

Now its fixed. i Just flashed the Aroma rom Kernel instead of the ExistenZ kernel.

To solve the problem about gyroscope just flash AROMA ROM Kernel afther installing ExistenZ v4.0 right here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2237726

I accidentaly discovered how to fix it because i was having trouble rebooting the aroma rom with boot loop issue, and then flashed EXISTENZ KERNEL to fix it, then rebooted and after rebooting had problem with rotation again.

then i flashed the aroma kernel and the problem with rotation gone. :laugh::good:

The only bad thing is that Bravia Engine gone too!

I have unlocked boot loader, but for videos it works. But still better than no rotation screen
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Need Help!

So i went through this process, flashed the rom in CWM, flashed the sufix, flashed dual recovery. I then powered off the phone and booted in to flashmode (Vold down while pluggin in USB) Flashtool found the device and I flashed the kernel which appeared to go along with no issues. Once i unplugged the usb cable and attempted to power it up I felt the vibration but no screen comes up. Its dead in the water, I can't get in to flash mode or fastboot now and the only way I get anything out of the phone is if I hold down the yellow reset button under the sim cover. I heard it vibrate but still nothing.

Did i just brick this thing and why? Desperately need some help here.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Thank God I fixed it. I was able to hold down volume up with USB plugged in and Flashtool open after 5-6 attempts of doing this while holding the yellow reset button done i got it to boot into fastboot mode. I then flashed the 78Kernel V2 (Boot.img) and it worked. So seems like something went wrong with the flash of the kernel the dev provided in this thread. Im up and running on this Rom now! Maybe it was user error but i booted into flashmode not fastboot pointed to the stripped tft file and tried to match those check boxes to the best of my ability but i didnt have the same options...

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Ok I can't promise but hopefully this is the last post as I've been blowing up this thread lately :) (Appreciate all the help though).

So I'm on the rom but I'm getting an Update Center notification that 10.4.1.B.0.101 is available to download. I did download it but failed when i tried to apply it. Is this normal? Should i not try to update, or shouldn't i already be on this fw since Im running this rom?
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
Same problem here.

I did a full wipe, flashed .67 stock rom via flashtool, rooted via doomlord and installed NUT's dual recovery.

Then I flashed ExistenZ 4.0, supersu fix and recovery.

After shutdown and connecting to charger, the displays backlight won't turn off.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
**Update** So if i got to about phone it shows I'm already running this fw (10.4.1.B.0.101) whats the deal? why does the annoying popup keep showing up which fails if i try to apply it.

Overall i'm loving this rom, only thing i wish it has was rotation working. Seems only kernel that does is the one noted about but I dont want to sacrifice the barvia engine for photos.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
I freezed update center in Titanium Backukp and the persistent message for the available update is now gone. I'm happy but still wondering if anyone can tell me why its trying to apply the fw (10.4.1.B.0.101 I'm already running with this rom.
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
Use at your own risk and backup before:

For all that have problems with sensors, auto rotation and camera I uploaded the ftf of the Generic DE 10.4.1.B.0.101 without system (18MB). For me it worked to flash everything (bootbundle, baseband, elabel, fota, kernel, partition). So I unchecked every single checkbox and flashed it. Stripped system Sony Xperia ZL Generic DE 10.4.1.B.0.101 R1C edit: You probably should only flash everything if you are on an European C6503, with any other version I would go the safe route on exclude everything except fota and kernel - unless you want to experiment and don't care.

To fix the charging when the phone is turned of I installed the latest dual recovery and replaced /system/bin/chargemon.stock with the original /system/bin/chargemon from the Generic DE 10.4.1.B.0.101 update and set the permissions and owner to the values of the old chargemon (rwx r-x r-x root:shell). You can change the values with ES Explorer or on the shell (chmod 755 /system/bin/chargemon.stock; chown root:shell /system/bin/chargemon.stock). /system/bin/chargemon from 10.4.1.B.0.101 set the permissions and owner right! Replacing the file in the existenz.zip and flashing should work too.

If someone could confirm that this fixes their problems that would be nice.

Clearing Update Centre app data and /cache should work too. There is a .bin file in /cache that is about 30mb big if you delete this file and the subfolder you wouldn't have to clear the whole /cache.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Thanks! I'm only experiencing the kernel issues so will flash that and report back. Im running a 6506 so will make sure to not flash everything. Should I be flashing this in fasboot or flashmode?
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
thanks [MENTION=3233991]NamenIos[/MENTION] my charging issues now gone. :)

about the rotation and camera problem is because the kernel that niaboc shared in OP is 569 version, not the 101. I already told him to update it, maybe he forgot :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] LaZiODROID:
Hello. Having trouble installing this rom on a C6506 (Rogers, locked bootloader).

LOCKED Bootloader

Flash official Sony's 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 with flashtool

(I had tried to start with Xperia ZL (C6502)_Generic IN (India) 1270-7911_R4B_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf - but once it booted it was freezing and not use-able)

So instead, started over and flashed C6506_10.3.1.A.2.67_Videotron CA.ftf, which boots and operates normally.

Root using DoomLord method

-Used the 'new' method that was mentioned. (rootkitXperia_20131207.zip) Rooted OK.

Install NUT dual recovery :

-Installed ZL-lockeddualrecovery2.7.94-BETA.installer.zip. Turned off phone, turned it back on, and was able to boot into CWM.

Reboot in recovery, Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache.

Done/done/done/done

Flash the rom, then the SuperUser Fix

Started to flash Xperia_ZL_eXistenZ_Ultra_Edition_4.zip. But it failed pretty quickly, saying something about a symlink, and gave code 7. The android graphic in the background looked like it was dying (red ! icon)

That's as far as I could get. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
probably corrupt zip file ? did u try it with twrp ? after u are done u need to flash the kernel so i advice u use twrp since its easier to switch the phone off and flash kernel
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Flash the kernel with flashtool first. Then you should be able to flash the .zip

But it could be corrupt. Re-download to be safe.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
Kernel posted above fixed the rotation issue for me. Thanks! Really wish someone could add the "tap2Wake" feature in that kernel and post it! :) Missing that feature, once I have that with this everything will be perfect. Thanks for the work put into this Rom, I just came from CM11 and really like the stock feel Didn't realize how much better Sony's apps are then stock android.
[Sony Xperia ZL] niaboc79:
updated OP ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] niaboc79:
So you flashed latest NUT recovery

Replaced chargemon.stock by chargemon files found in stock .101 firmware and renamed it chargemon.stock.
[Sony Xperia ZL] prem2691:
Why I'm getting this after every reboot
[Sony Xperia ZL] t3ddy2003:
did you mean this version sir? "ZL-lockeddualrecovery2.7.92-BETA.flashable"
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
yup that's the latest one
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
found another problem, when i charge in online mode, suddenly my phone stop charging.

i think this is because of the chargemon.stock from official FW that namenlos shared, will try to revert back with the original of eXistenZ 4 :D

When i press power button to turn on display for 1 sec only backlight goes on then after that display shows up. Just wanted to confirm if its a software bug or hardware problem? And one more thing it only happens when i turn the screen on after some time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
ive had that ever since 4.2 .. assuming due to deep sleep :confused: happens to me as well . but not only on this rom .
[Sony Xperia ZL] adibayer_:
maybe this is the problem of the android. before i use ZL, i use note 1 and faced this problem too.

and now in ZL i also faced this, looks like this is google's

probably
[Sony Xperia ZL] kumar abhishek:
I assume its a hardaware problem.

In .569 4.3 fw my zl screen sometimes wouldnt turn on for like a minute and even 3-4 times I needed to restart it by pressing yellow button to make it work. It seems more a screen problem to me. I ll contact sony care whenever i get time. This is the second time i will ask for its replacement in within an year :(

[Sony Xperia ZL] prem2691:
Sd card problem cleared.. And album still lags..I wiped the data using titanium back up still no use
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
Sorry I missed your post. I did what you described and changed the permissions and owner.

Step by step exactly how I've done it:

Copy chargemon on /sdcard (the lazy variant per usb and mtp)

Renamed it to chargemon.new

moved it to /system/bin with ES File Explorer

changed the permissions to 755 in ES File Explorer

booted into recovery (because I am paranoid something could go wrong)

adb shell

cd /system/bin

mv chargemon.stock chargemon.org

mv chargemon.new chargemon.stock

reboot

The neater method would probably be boot into recovery; adb shell mv /system/bin/chargemon.stock /system/bin/chargemon.org; adb push chargemon /system/bin/chargemon.stock; adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/chargemon.stock; adb shell chown root:shell /system/bin/chargemon.stock; reboot. This could probably fit into a .bat for those who are afraid to do it manually.

[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
let us know if you are lucky with this ROM. I tried all ROMs (based on 101 version) none of them is working with my C6506. all the time had to return back to 267 and then to go to 569.

May be there is an issue with our model and this is why we don't have an official update to 101 so far in Canada.
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
First try from 2.67 firmware I got to flash this ROM and the kernel without any issues but the following. Similar issues of previous versions, my lock screen removes widgets after a reset or some sort of trigger. Lastly, whenever I boot up I get a message about locations not responding. Either way this ROM is near flawless. 10/10 as always eXistenZ
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
did u wipe data before upgrading to 4.3 and/or this rom
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Try flashing a .101 kernel with fladhtool first. Then reboot into recovery and flash. Or download 78kernel from its thread in the original android development section. Boot to recovery. Flash that kernel. Reboot recovery. Then flash this, then 78kernel again to be safe. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia ZL] LaZiODROID:
So a .101 stock kernel (from a .101 FTF)? I can only seem to find 101 FTF's for the C6503 or C6502. Would the kernel from those work on a C6506 (with locked bootloader)? And being stock, it wouldn't have CWM or TWRP recovery included. Sorry for all the questions. Kind of lost here.
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
Yup, full wipe of cache, dalvik, and data entirely. Yet the widget disappearing on the lockscreen managed to stop happening recently.
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
I got a PM from someone who had problems with the recovery after replacing chargemon and as he provided a good description of what he has done, there was a quick fix. I decided to post that (after he gave me the ok to do so) here, so if anyone is facing similar problems the search function could lead to the fix.

Anyway your problem is easy to fix if it is what I think. Don't touch chargemon, just repace chargemon.stock with the one out of the FTF (the one I provided). chargemon is a script that checks if the user wants to enter the recovery while chargemon.stock is the original chargemon that gets opened if the user chooses not to go into recovery. If you replaced the script (chargemon) with the original chargemon binary one there is no way to go into the recovery. Just installing the recovery with the installer would probably work as this will update chargemon but won't touch chargemon.stock (if it's present from the beginning).

That fixed it, sometimes it's the small things.

If anyone needs help I would ask you post the question in the public forums and either quote me or put [MENTION=3233991]NamenIos[/MENTION] in the question so I get the notification. If I still don't react feel free to shoot me a pm with the link to the question.

Hello, yesterday I installed the ROM. Very nice and smooth :good:. Thanks to the developer. I have only one question : how can I dissable the NFC logo from the notificationfield when NFC is turned on.Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
probably via xposed . there is no mod in the rom for that
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
There is a value in build.prop that controls that. Change ro.nfc.icon.enable=true to ro.nfc.icon.enable=false and you are good. No need to look into xposed or install anything.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
xposed is easier for someone who does not know how to edit build.prop . simply will result in bootloop if the person has no experience
