The best version available is either of the last two Tilal builds. The echo bug is gone, good battery life, WiFi is rock solid.

All of the official 10.1.x builds have the Echo Bug.

For now, I have given up on the official 10.2 builds which fixes both Echo and Speakerphone whine since the WiFi is pretty much unusable.

http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/roms/mint/cm-10.2/

http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/roms/mint/cm-10.1/

I will check for the MAC address in Tilal's 9/26 CM10.2 build tonight.

I'm not about to test official builds again until first M release comes out in the next week or so, where they will let me submit bug reports. Unfortunately, somewhere in the past week something was added, so that a full backup/wipe_data/restore became necessary to revert from the current CM10.2 nightly back to Tilal's 9/26 build. That makes quick testing with my wife's phone a little harder to pull off :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nielsio:
Yep, I've having Wifi problems with latest 10.2 nightly, and it does show that MAC address for me as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
WiFi issue is still present in the latest nigthly (31/10).

Now I'll test it for battery drain and microphone problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Paradelle:
I had the same problems with the wifi. In another 10.2 thread, somebody recommends changing the network connection from DHCP to static. I did this and the wifi is now perfectly fine (I'm running today's nightly 31.10) Also, there's a simple fix for the microphone bug within the thread. I used both of these and now both the mic and the wifi is perfect. I'm not allowed to post in the development thread due to not having enough posts, so if either of the guys that helped fixed my phone are reading, then thank you!

Sorry if the link doesn't work. First attempt.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
Although the wrong MAC address is clearly a problem, the WiFi issues in the CM10.2 nightlies are not related to it.

WiFi works perfectly in Tilal's last CM10.2 build (9/26), and yet it has the same wrong MAC address... :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nielsio:
Cool. That makes it work for me as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
What about battery life in the latest nighlty?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Paradelle:
I'm getting the same out of it as I was with 10.1.3. Obviously it's all dependent on what you're using it for, but for my low (ish) usage it's good. This coupled with the wifi and microphone fix as led to a very good (and stable) rom. Since I've been flashing the nightlys I've had one blue screen and nothing more.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Somebody treid the new nightly from today? It includes M1 snapshot (it says in the changlog)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
I'm downloading right now. will report tomorrow
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
battery got better, but I have to test it more, here are some screenshots.

Wifi works out of the box? Thanks for battery stats
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
I didn't wipe it, so I'm not sure.... But I had nothing to change
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Just treid and WIFI still broken. Had to set static adress to fix it

Also Simpsons Tapped Out crashes alot and rom is somtimes unstable
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
Problems have been resolved in the latest update?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Dont know, i just install the new nightly and dont do full wipe.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
It appears that the WiFi Association bug is fixed with the 11/8 nightly. Connected right away to either one of my WiFi networks (with DHCP). Hasn't dropped the connection. It still has the wrong MAC address though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
well, do you notice the phone is warm while charging? i mean really quite hot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
for me the nightlies are working quite well.

wifi is fine, BT, GPS everything works great.

Only during Video REC the volume is really low and the quality is very average (both audio and video).

Battery life is another issue. I have been tweaking and testing a lot, BBS has helped a lot but it averages at around 3-5% per hour, depending on usage etc...

What is your average % per hour drop?

greetings!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
3-5% is still a lot! The ideal would be if it were 1-2%

During this time he was on stand bye?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
Yes.

5% if used quite a lot. 3% or a little less if left in deep sleep.

Do you get 1-2% with CM 10.2!?

I really appreciate the work and engagement the developers are putting into CM and all other mods. I have been using CM for years now (Moto Defy). I would like to point out that I would really like to assist the developers. E.g. BBS logs, logcat, etc.

I cannot post in the dev section yet (10 posts limitation), but maybe defs are reading this.

Again; thank you a lot for your work! I believe there are a lot of people quietly using your mods who would like to thank you too. Especially since you fixed the autobrightness feature, CM is, again, the best ROM avaiable.

Just improve battery and camcorder and there is no alternative...

THAnK YOU!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
Ok so tonite I had it discharge for 7h 21 minutes it dropped 1,5%/h

6 h 48 minutes deep sleep,

33m 14 s awake

screen on for 3m 21s

mmc1_detect kept it awake for 7m 55s (count: 3354)

I guess this is the problem...?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
"Do you get 1-2% with CM 10.2!?"

No, in previous versions was that consumption, but now I can not remember which version it was.

I'm currently using the rom Tilal's, until some time ago it was the most stable 10.2.

I will test the latest nightly this week.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Paradelle:
For what it's worth, I'm been using the 10.2 nightly builds for a while and I've found them to be hugely stable, more so than many of the other 4.2 builds. I'm even managing well on battery. Every smartphone I've owned has had to be charged overnight, and my T running 10.2 is no different.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Dont install 11/13 nightly! Kernel is broken and screen doesnt work
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Paradelle:
Strange. I did a fresh install with 11/13 and it works perfectly. Nothing broken at all for me. In fact, I find very little wrong. Slight lag (occasionally) when leaving browser. That's it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Don't know but maybe it was bad download but i didnt work here
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Paradelle:
I'm an idiot: my last install wasn't 11/13, it was 11/11. In another thread there's a discussion mentioning the same issues with 11/13 that you're having. I will avoid 11/13.

Sorry for my mistake. It seems that I no longer know what day it is.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
Does anyone have any idea when will come the versions M or RC?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
automatic updates doesnt even have 13112013 for me...maybe they took it down!?

anyways thanks for the warning!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
I'll confirm that Nov 13 is a bad build. My kernel also crashed on boot. FYI, does anyone know how if it is possible to install the clockworkmod recovery to the FOTA partition - At one point I remember instructions for TWRP but I can't find those either.

Due to the shared kernel between the real system and the recovery, it is a real PITA to have to reinstall the recovery via fastboot whenever a nightly doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Even if FOTAKernel was used the inital bootup still needs to main boot kernel. This is why LK was a good idea but it didn't get much support :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Yes, I have twrp on FOTA and yesterday when installed 13/11 nightly had the same problem.

I had to install older windows to be able to fastboot other kernel ... Fastboot on win8.1 was not working ?

Now I'm testing Omni 4.4 thanks to tilal6991.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Had same problem, had to boot Ubuntu from USB to flash old kernel.. WIN8.1 is annoying with fastboot etc :crying:

Any good tips on how to unbrick my device?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
You have to put the phone in fastboot mode and then flash the boot.img from November 11th build! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
:crying::crying::crying::crying:

i flashed two days ago 20131114 nightly and brick my phone, i have read the solutions, but now I need help, I can´t unbrick my XperiaT, I´d tried a lot of times with adb and flashtool, but was impossible, and now... i think battery is dead, and i can´t put on fast boot mode anymore. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

what can i do?:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
1114 also has a problem?

Did you lost your phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
Yes, i think it was first nightly with boot problem

I can´t flash boot.img (i think because of window 8.1), and now, i can´t start my phone because of battery is dead and it is impossible to charge it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
This has happened to me before. Plug the phone into the wall. Even if nothing seems to be happening don't panic. Press Vol up + power until it vibrates 3 times. Then leave the phone to charge for a couple of hours or so. After this you should be able to get into fastboot holding down vol up and plugging into the computer.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] efs12:
Use the original charger. I also had this problem 2 or 3 times and it charged only with the original charger. USB from laptop, a weaker HTC charger and a stronger Samsung charger, all of them did NOT work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
Funny this post came out today, since I had to figure this out for myself last night. The Nov15 kernel still is bad, and figured from the bad Nov14 had I knew I had to attempt to flash the boot.img from Nov11. One difference was that the battery was about ~5% when I started, but it was plugged in, so thought that shouldn't matter. However, as others have noticed, it won't go into fastboot with the battery that low. Left it plugged in but nothing happened and I was sort of worried I killed my wifes phone.

Regardless, I little random keypress magic and it weakly vibrated and the LED went red. I hoped that it was charging. And yes when it came back an hour later. It went into flashboot that time.

By the way, for those that were wondering, just flashing the Nov15 rom and using flashboot to backlevel the kernel only (boot.img) works like a charm. I didn't have to reinstall the Nov11 rom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
I tried it, original charger and original usb cable, but the same, nothing hapens, i think that´s the end of my phone :crying::crying:

I´ll repeat again
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
you could also buy a new battery which should be charged to 80% when delivered. or an external charger dock...

Unbricked

I was able to unbrick my device, but it was a pain.

Finally I figured out how to get into fastboot mode: after my device had been off for a day and fully drained (not sure if this step was necessary..), I needed to shortpress the power button once (nothing happened), then a second time and the red light would flickr (indicating out of battery?), then after that I was able to hold up and attach USB cable to enter fastboot. Then I was able to upload boot.img (as per http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mint ).

After this step I had my phone on wall charger for a full night, after which the red light turned off. I'm not sure exactly how, but I attached it to my pc, probably shortpressed power (and maybe tried something else), but finally the sony logo appeared and I pressed the volume rockers and I got into clock word recovery. From there I loaded the 20131111 nightly and the gapps, and rebooted. My phone was at 4% and I needed to charge it via USB again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
I put my phone on wall charger all past night, but the same.. :crying:

i´m going to buy a new battery and will try again

Thanks a lot guys.

one only more thing... please every must be carefull with last nightlies from CM10.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
[MENTION=4855138]Nielsio[/MENTION] Or you could have pressed power button + vol up untill it vibrates 4 times. Then you could enter fastboot and do all the magic...

thank you very much again to all :good:

shouldve said you had windows 8 or something. Flashmode/fastboot doesnt work so easy with windows 8 and doesnt work AT ALL with windows 8.1

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
I tested the 1119 and the device turned off.

Now that is my device not going into fastboot.

The combination of buttons makes the device shaking but does not activate the fastboot and the screen remains dark.

The blue light turns on but the screen remains off.

Anyone have any tips?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
Do you run win 8.1?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
This is what normally happens. The blue light turns on, you're in fastboot mode and you flash the older version of the boot.img! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
"Do you run win 8.1?"

Win 7

"This is what normally happens. The blue light turns on, you're in fastboot mode and you flash the older version of the boot.img! "

Yes, but the blue light comes on and nothing happens, the screen does not light up in recovery mode

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, correct me if I'm wrong.

Press the button up and button off simultaneously. The blue light comes on ... from there what do I do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
You have to do a hard reset first.

Press volume up and power until it vibrates 4 times in total.

After that you can connect your phone via fastboot by pressing volume up button while plugging to the pc
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
I did, the blue light turns on, then off and nothing happens.

I remember when I unlocked the bootloader, it was very difficult to get into recovery

Having drivers xperia T Sony installed on win 7 is necessary?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
You're not supposed to see anything on the screen when the light turns blue. You have to use fastboot from a computer to flash the proper boot . I'm.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thiarcher:
I do not have drivers xperia T, the PCC does not work. The computer does not recognize the device.

I think I lost my phone.

CWM should enter by the side buttons, but there is no more coming.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
Did you installed flashtool before? If you didn't try to install it and then, whith your phone in fastboot mode, install boot.img from 1111 nightly using fastboot mode from flashtool

I am using usb SONY, I think I'm making progress.

I'm currently downloading the FTF's Xperia T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ybridos:
you need to extract the boot.img inside the 1111 nightly.zip, and flash it with flashtool in fastboot mode, select "kernel to flash" and use the boot.img file

That would be a shame if "stable" version was not even booting ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
They closed the bug report because there was no log included ...

I will not do this because I have win8.1 on my PC and don't have time to go back again to older windows where fastboot/adb works, to experiment with broken kernels again just to see if there is last_kmsg
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
I could try it later. Is it safe to flash that broken kernel? How do you enter fastboot mode again after flashing it?

I saw some magic button combinations people mentioned, but I don't want to spend half a day trying to revive my device...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
If you don't know how/what to do, than don't ...

There are lots of xda members that are currently on older windows or linux with all required drivers, and they know what to do, I'm sure ...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
Don't worry about me, I'm quite experienced... I have linux dualbooted with everything needed.

Just give me the straight answer, because I want to do it quickly.

Is this correct? :

"You have to do a hard reset first.

Press volume up and power until it vibrates 4 times in total.

After that you can connect your phone via fastboot by pressing volume up button while plugging to the pc "
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Yes this is correct!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Yes after flashing the ROM with bad kernel the phone will try to boot but you will see just black screen ... power button + volume up after few seconds will vibrate 1 time (that is restart) and if you keep holding the buttons it will vibrate 3 more times (that is power off) ....

After the phone is powered off you need to press and hold the the power up while plugging the phone to usb on your PC. Make sure you have all drivers installed first (from flashtool > flashmode and fastboot) (for anyone else who might try) ;)

And than you can install working boot.img via fastboot command or flashtool

How to get logcat?

To save logcat with adb shell you need to run "adb logcat > /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt" (or any path you want) from command line on your pc ... this should be done when the phone is trying to boot with black screen ... if its partially booting :/ I don't think so ...

How to get last_kmsg log?

Open terminal app

Enter "su" to get root privileges

Enter "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt" to save current log.

Close terminal app.

To save last_kmsg log with adb shell you need to run "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /path/where/save/last_kmsg.txt" (any path you want) from command line on your pc.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
Thanks for hints, that will be nice tutorial for others :)

I've just tried to catch anything but no luck. ADB is not recognizing device, no last_kmsg file, dmesg/kmesg is resetted every reboot, so thats no go too... I'll dig a little and recreate issue without logs if I had to...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
This was posted by tilal in CM10.2 development thread:

So if the image is larger than the partition, than it is not installed at all ?

And if there is no kernel ... there is no kmsg :confused:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
No real need since nothing is listed in the three things in the changelog are not related to this issue.

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/mint/1385307682.

Sadly, however, that there was nothing on the 11th or 12th that gave a hint of why it stopped working.

But what tilal said makes perfect sense. It simply the size of the kernel that blowing it up; we are trying to a kernel img that is larger than 8MB on what is apparently a 64Mb flash chip.
