Now in the CWM Recovery Mode install the zip "Fix-Recovery.zip" by choosing "install zip from sd card".

Hi,

I do not understand what you mean by "remove battery and then enter cwm recovery mode". How do I do that? If I remove the phone's battery, the phone turns off, right? So how will I enter recovery, even assuming the recovery has actually been written properly?

My second question is, will your method only work with cwm? I'm trying to install twrp, so will it work?

Thanks in advance.

Later edit:

Never mind, I learned from later posts and was able to install twrp with your method. Thanks! :good:

hi...i have samsung grand duos 4.2.2, i tried every thing including unchecking of auto-reboot....nothing works, it automatically boots to android recovery e3...help me please...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NeoLogY:
Try this,

1. Download Rashr app.

2. Download TWRP/CWM recovery.img file, if can't find 1, just download TWRP/CWM.zip and extract it, you will find the .img file inside.

3. Run the Rashr app. Choose to flash recovery img from storage. Let the app do the job. Make a backup of the original recovery before flashing.

4. Reboot to recovery and check if it works.

If it works, all credit goes to [MENTION=2350466]Chotu[/MENTION]222 as he made this thread to help us in the first place.

Good luck.

Edit this as just realized: Rashr@Flashify@ any recovery script app just work with rooted apps, silly me. Sorry if provided misleading info.

This worked for me. I was facing trouble to get CWM flashed on the device. Using Odin v3.04 was crucial to get a PASS result.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nox.BG:
I decided to flash CM10.1 the newest stable v.

That is what i do:

1Root the phone [latest official firmware updated via update center]

2Installing CWM

3Going in recovery and make factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

4Flashing CM zip

5Flashing Gaps zip

6Pressing "reboot now"

And then the phone goes off and that is all. If i hold the power button for ~3sec it vibrate and nothing more. No booting img no error sign no nothing. Cant go in recovery too.

Does anyone have a solution?

I tried it around 5-6 times - black screen all of them.

Edit: Bootloader is locked
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Please read the instructions for flashing CM ROMs.

It needs an unlocked bootloader.

Repair your phone using pccompanion, or by flashing a stock ftf with flashtool
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nox.BG:
Ty I will try that now

Edit: It worked = ] One last question - can I flash doom kernel under CM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
AFAIK not. CM uses its own custom kernel (hence the unlocked bootloader) and Doomkernel is for stockbased roms
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
NO!

You cannot flash cm with a locked boot loader.

You cannot flash doom kernel with a locked boot loader

You cannot use doom kernel with cm.

Its all in the instructions for cm Rom, doom kernel and in the all in one thread. Please read them
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Divaksh:
Guys this guide is same as DooMLoRD's guide but modified for the 12.0.A.2.254 firmware version for Xperia SP (C5302/3).

Follow these simple steps and get your sexy device rooted.

Open FlashTool and flash the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.78 MB file.

Reboot your device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode.

Close FlashTool. (important step)

Download and Extract DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on C:\

Execute runme file(runme_linux.sh for linux, runme_mac.sh for mac and runme_win.bat for windows) and follow the instructions, in the end your device will be rebooted.

Hopefully you will be rooted now(You can check it by launching SuperSU app from the launcher).

Power off your device and launch FlashTool again.

Now flash XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.254_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB file.(Latest kernel from the 12.0.A.2.254 firmware).

Power on and enjoy rooted phone with latest firmware. :D

If you are facing issue of device rebooting when remounting /system partition then checkout

the fix

Here's a thought...

Anyone tried...

flash the (old) kernel with the same customization number as your current fw,

Root by doomlords method

flash the kernel from the new fw.

rather than using the kernels provided in the links??

Just a thought...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Souleymane93:
Yes, I tried that.

I flash and old kernel with the same customisation, not the kernel in thé links

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sarkissmae:
hello, sorry to interrupt but i guess this is a very noob question. i can't flash the kernel only (files provided by doomlord). after opening the flashtool, i select flashmode and after that, in selecting the firmware, there's no .257 kernel only, and flashtool doesn't recognize the files because its not in the ftf format because its in the .zip format. please help me on what to do, cause i'm not getting it. and can someone give me a clear instruction on how to flash the kernel only. thank you in advance.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] technaudio:
Rename the file from .zip to .ftf and make sure you put it in c:/flashtool/firmwares folder

Then it should work.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] sarkissmae:
i tried renaming it to .ftf but still the flashtool doesn't recognize it. the icon is still the same as on the .zip icon. i don't know what to do to make it .ftf file

Hey buddy dont worry whatever the VERSION you've got because they are different in Frequencies only! The local frequencies in various countries are variable that is why Sony made these variations in XSP versions.. .

Just Root your phone and get it BOOMING easily :)

I had similar problem with my SP. When I enter the flashmode and tried flashing phone, after a while it disconnects.

I reinstall drivers once again (about 20 times before) but this time I first turn off flashtool. I turned on flashmode and installed drivers. After operation finished (this took a loooooooong time).

Next time when I was promted to turn on flashmode by flashtool it will NOT search the drivers once again while it was already installed.

After that all went perfect.

Yes, thx, that's what I meant. The kernel here, after root, is older than the one I already have in new fw, ať least I guess so. So isn't there some newer one? Unless I hesitate to root my phone, even I would like to have a permission to install to external sd :( but wouldn't that be downgrade?

Instruction in the thread itself
[Galaxy S 4 General] ramon.nmgn:
Google think that almost every device running android, is their device. Therefore they implemented a service within Google Play Services that will connect your device often to the Google and it will drain more battery then needed.

NOTE:

I tried a method that was shown on i think this forum or another one. I can't remember which one it was, and i cant find the thread either.

So before i am going to start this, i wanna thank the guy from the original thread for this, even if i dont know where i can find you. I am only sharing this so i take NO CREDITS.

I repeat, i am ONLY sharing this.

+ Works with:

- AOSP roms

- TW roms

- Well, basicly all android running devices :fingers-crossed:

To start with:

- Turn of location settings

- Go to settings, accounts and go to your google account.

+ go to advertisements and untick the toggle that says that Google takes care of your advertisements.

Most important:

- Download Adaway (latest) from HERE.

Thank you [MENTION=3355398]mrRobinson[/MENTION] for this awesome app!

- Open adAway and provide Adaway root access.

- Press the menu button and go to your own custom list.

- Now add a line by pressing the + button in the upper right of the screen.

- Add the following line < mtalk.google.com >

- Make sure the the checkmark is ON with the "mtalk.google.com" line.

- Now go back to the homescreen of adAway, apply the patch.

Note: According to the maker of the original thread, this seems to be the server that your device is always trying to communicate with. So by blacklisting this URL, there is no connection anymore.

Note 2: Cyanogenmod (and maybe other AOSP or GE users) are experiencing that the Blue highlighted WI-FI icon and the blue highlighted antenna icon are now GREY after applying this.

This is because you are not connected anymore to the google servers.

Note 3: Keep in mind that you can still manual synchronise your calander, contacts, Gmail, and other Google account related.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Pfeffernuss:
This (syncing) only applies for manual updates. Leaving the entry in Adaway will disable auto-updates. Not a viable option for me, am not going to manually refresh Google apps...
[Galaxy S 4 General] ramon.nmgn:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks for this.

I don't think Ad away works as it should though.

It says its syncing and merging with my current hosts file but after doing that my hosts file goes from 1.4mb to 700kb. So all its doing is deleting stuff. Weird
[Galaxy S 4 General] ramon.nmgn:
Ah i did not checked my host file if became smaller. But adAway definitely works for me as it completely rebuilds the host file.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vihru:
how about deleting google play services if dont need automatic syncing?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AvelonTs:
I believe this is not a viable option for many users for the same reason ...but still for some may be useful
[Galaxy S 4 General] ramon.nmgn:
I think if you do that, you are not even able to Sync and update your apps at al.

I am just sharing this, i am using it myself and im pretty satisfied.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
I always delete GooglePlayServices and never have any problems with apps updating.

I still get notifications in my status bar telling me when there is an app update available in the Play Store and also still get my Gmail notifications in my status bar.

Syncing works perfectly and so does Maps, Google Search, YouTube etc.

I actually can't see ANY reason to have GooglePlayServices installed.

All my Google apps still function perfectly without it.

And I no longer have RAM wasted and battery used up by this annoying app!!

My advice to everyone, delete it, it's not needed at all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Pfeffernuss:
Was pretty euphoric when I read this so immediately disabled Play Services and rebooted like a happy little kid :laugh:

That level of joy didn't last long:

Maps, Calendar, Keep, Youtube, these all need G.P.S. to function properly. Maybe even more apps but this is where I stopped.

Needless to say turned it back on again. This, as well, is not a viable option for me ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ramon.nmgn:
Did you tried the method i mentioned? :happy:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
That's odd, I don't get Google Maps requesting Play services on my device.

I do get one of those notifications after wiping cache and dalvik cache though, I just swipe it away and carry on as normal.

After you swiped them away can you still use the apps requesting it?

For example when I first boot up YouTube after wiping cache it says it needs PlayServices to run but I just ignore and cancel it.

I have never lost any YouTube functionality at all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Pfeffernuss:
What method? Entering the mtalk line?

Some yes, some no. Keep refused to work. Anyway, can easily make it through the end of the day anyway and will always charge at night so no biggie but all small bits can help of course. This fix is a bit too coarse, for me that is of course :)
