Don't! This rom is based on 4.1 only remember...?:what:
[Xperia SP Android Development] ihsan.aziz:
Uhm, i mean i flash the .254 fw first, then flash this rom :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Oh...you want to do a firmware downgrade huh? Yes, you can...but you will have to start the whole rooting process for the FW like flashing kernels twice, etc.:sly:
[Xperia SP Android Development] ihsan.aziz:
Yeah, downgrade ;) but if i store my backed up data on sdcard1, I'll still be able to restore my old data, right?
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Yup...just the data:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] ihsan.aziz:
Hmm what about my apps and games? I check the "downloaded applications" tab.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
You can do that too..though it might take some time depending on how many apps and games you previously installed i mean backup..
[Xperia SP Android Development] alone_in_dark:
do it with "titanium backup"... it needs root... the stock backup may fail to restore data on different android version... i can't restore my data of 4.1 on 4.3 with that app...
[Xperia SP Android Development] ihsan.aziz:
Hmm.okay, thanks for the nice responses :)

I dont know why, for me there was a big RAM management improvement in stock 4.3 and I suppose it will be same in existenz. (I used MMS app, Whatsapp, Hangouts, Chrome, Walkman, root explorer at same time. no one of them was killed. Can switch between them without "new open of ap")

[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkissmae:
i know this will be a very silly question for you guys and sorry for bringing this up but i have a confusion in my mind. the instructions said that i need to flash first .254 and then root it. is it really .254 and not .266 (4.3)? and then the rom stated in the 5th instruction would be the existenz rom, i am right? and then in the last instruction, it says that i need to flash only the kernel of .266.

the only thing that confuses me is where is the .266 ftf? i thought i need to flash it but the instructions say i need only to flash .254.

sorry for this silly question guys. i just don't want to mess up my phone.

any answers to my question will be appreciated.

It's about 200-300 like in stock but if you change minfree settings in eXistenZ settings to one of the presets you can have some normal RAM usage and it will go down to 50-100 as you use it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkissmae:
i know this will be a very silly question for you guys especially to you niaboc and sorry for bringing this one up but i have a question that is confusing me a lot. you said in the first instruction to flash the .254 ftf and then root it. my question is, why .254? the latest is .266. the rom you stated in the 5th instruction would be the existenz rom itself. am i right? lastly, the last part of the instruction says that i need to flash the kernel of .266. so i don't need at all the .266 ftf itself in order to use your latest rom?

sorry for those silly question guys but i just don't want to mess up my phone.

any answers would be highly appreciated.

thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Just follow what is written... Don't doubt the procedure... It will work
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
No, the only part of the ftf you need is the kernel. The rest of the .266 is included in the ROM. Firmwares can have different formats : generally official ones have .ftf formats and unofficial ones, mostly known as custom ROMs, have .zip formats and are flashable through recovery but they contain mostly the same type of information

The need for flashing .254 is because it is the only firmware that support custom recovery. The recovery installed on .254 is the one you use to install eXistenZ. At this point you have the .266 (eXistenZ) system files and still the .254 kernel. Then you flash the .266 kernel which doesn't have a custom recovery but which you need in order to boot the eXistenZ system.

[Xperia SP Android Development] Cloud1989:
just done the whole process again and still giving me the bootloop, ahhh well forget it ill stay on stock as i cant be bothered to mess around doing the whole process over and over again to no avail, wasting my time,

But good job on everybody else who has gained root on the 4.3 with a locked bootloader :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
JB 4.3 build can't be rooted directly, the trick is to downgrade to JB 4.1.2 who can be rooted, like that you can install a recovery and like that you can flash a rom.

All the JB 4.3 build is present in my rom, only the kernel is not included, that's why you must flash it with flashtool after the rom.

Hope it's more clear now ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
Have you flashed kernel after the rom?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dionisis1976:
I did have a wifi problem, I entered the wrong password and when I tried to change it it kept saying not responding, so reflashed and now working fine on Locked Bootloader.

I have noticed I cant throw to my TV, doesn't recognise any devices ??

Super User works lovely, 5 button nav work lovely, root woks lovely.

Many thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] Cloud1989:
Yes did the whole process twice, but still gives me the bootloop, A spanner appears on my device as if its in service mode, but after that has finished it bootloops, Never mind i'll wait till a proper root access for the 4.3 is made as doing all the process again is doing my head in lol..

Just did EVERY SINGLE Step as you told. Same bootloop. I suggest someone with LOcked BL tries to flash this and tell us if it works or not...

I can flash purestockdeodexed 4.3 just fine...

Something in your rom zip, or supersufix zip is messing things up... EVERY other thing was done as per instruction. Rest assured.
[Xperia SP Android Development] UltraWelfare:
I am on locked bl(never unlocked it) and I am rooted with 2.0.0 existenz :)

Mine also bootlooped but I opened in CWM and rebooted from CWM and it worked :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] dionisis1976:
For Locked Bootloaders having problems, here are my exact step by step.

4.1.2 Stock

Flashed the 257 kernel to root using Doomlords method rebooted (Did not reflash flash 254)

Flashed this custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45924705&postcount=119 then rebooted.

Copied Rom and Sufix to sd card

Rebooted into recovery, Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache, Wipe Data / Factory Reset, format system, mount system.

Flash rom, now check and make sure system is still mounted (just something I do) , then flash SU fix.

SELECT POWER OFF FROM CWM menu, (this told me it couldn't do it, so I selected back, it then powered off).

Flash the 266 kernel using flash tool. https://www.dropbox.com/s/opc32muqhz7gaf5/C5303_12.1.A.0.266_Kernel Only.ftf

Unplug your lead and power on. Took a while to boot but it did, then power down as it says (will take a while to respond). When I restarted I had a big blue triangle with a spanner in, that soon passed and it booted again and all working fine.

Hope this helps someone.
