I had the same problem, flashed the boot.img from CM 10.1.3 instead and it worked fine - I could boot into recovery and flash OmniRom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
Thanks for the answer. But will the first option remove the previous recovery?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Sort of. I believe it writes the recovery to the FOTA partition so it persists between ROMs and kernels iirc. Not too sure though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
I tried the first route, but it won't install, just downloaded and that's it, probably because there is no root.

Adb flashing is probably the best option.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yeah GooManager requires root. So flash from adb.

Once you have a recovery installed in the FOTA partition I'm pretty sure it stays there forever, because I installed OpenRecovery way back when I was on CM 10.2 and it stayed working when I moved to OmniROM. So if you really want to install OpenRecovery you'll have to flash to a build that has root.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Damn tilal, seriously what did you do to this build? It performs better and has better battery life than any 4.3 build for the T by far.

Btw I really like the Performance Control app for OmniROM, especially how it shows CPU frequencies for BOTH CORES! Like, finally!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
oke testing it now. so far so good.

volume is very good

rom is fast en smooth

good work so far

hope to say an official release soon with some extra options. Dropdown panels (buttons) and transparent status en size of navbar en transparent status bar is al i need :p

btw: torch app fc's

i allready found it . stupid stupid stupid me :silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I can also confirm that the battery life of this ROM is at least DOUBLE the other 4.3/CM10.2 builds tilal posted on his dedicated thread.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yeah my battery life was really bad today for some reason though... not sure why, hopefully it's better tomorrow.

:'(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
i can confirm that root did not function after flashing but flashing supersu via recovery fixed root access :) .... too early to give any views on how it runs as only had it installed for 20 minutes but so far its looking smooth and stable ..... only down side i can see so far is no overclock and no wheatley .......

p.s make sure its the latest version of supersu as older ones do not seem to work both myself and zandm7 made this mistake
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yeah I figured out my root problem; I was flashing really old versions of SuperSU for some reason...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
sorry yeah i forgot to say make sure its the latest version as i tried an older version 1st .... sorry will update my post now
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Dekudan:
Something's gone pretty wrong for me: No baseband and hence no phone network :eek:

EDIT: Just a bad install. Once I got a recovery installed, I reflashed and things are fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lexi81:
Having the same recovery problems as others do. I came from Doomkernel and Honami rom. Trying to get a recovery installed now to flash my nandroid backup.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
An inbuult recovery was not present in the experimental build due to issues with compiling TWRP into the kernel. This will be fixed but I'd still recommend everyone to use the fotakernel method of flashing recovery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
Are the Omni repositories up to date to make a build for mint? I did not succeed last night. My builds or manta and tf300t worked. "brunch mint" did not work.

They should work. AFAIK they are up to date. What error did you get?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] glyxkecks:
First of all I'd like to thank tilal for this fabolous rom!

What I've found so far:

- automatic brightness seems to be a little bit low in my opinion

- I've got 2 bluescreens until now

- Quick Settings will always be shown when swiping down the status bar. You can switch to notifications but the next time Quick Settings will be shown again and you have to switch the view again to see the notifications.

- I didn't find out, where I could configure the Tiles and Layout of Quick Settings

Thumbs up for your great work so far!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
auto brightness is a little low but not too much of an issue

i haven't had one blue screen or random reboot as yet (not been 24 hours yet though)

swipe the status bar from left hand side for notifications and right hand side for quick settings (or at least on my T this is the case)

i haven't found them either maybe part of settings is not built in yet or something ? ..... hopefully more settings will be available in the next build
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Batterg life is not that great for me (as bad as al the other 4.3 roms)

Used 65% in 8 hours, 80 minutes screen on, 2 minutes call and screen on 40% brightness. Sorry don't have a screenshot
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yeah I haven't had a single reboot at all. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
Yes I am using the Omni device trees :) Have to dive a bit deeper into it. Must be something little that I missed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
13h 12m on battery so far still have 52% left

screen 19% (2h 2m)

voice calls 16% (29m)

android system 14% (keep awake 4m)

phone 12% (keep awake 30m)

media server 9%

mobile standby 6%

wifi 6%

phone idle 4%

andriod os 4%

games i play 10%

over 12 hours and still got half my battery left for me this is better life than out of the box stock ..... infact i never had this much life out of any of my smart phones ..... just hope it continues this way .....

and ok its only "light use" today as i have been busy with other things but even on stock after 8 hours id have to think about giving my phone a little more juice to see me through the day
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
how the hel do you do that. my phone is dead in 10 hours with only 90 minutes of screen, 2 minute call and screen brightness on 40%, wifi off, 3g on, only gmail checks every hour for new mails
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
Only settings I have changed it touch vibration and touch sound to off and changed my ringtone and notification tone and turned gps off but apart from that I'm still running straight from flash full gapps installed and location services are on so my guess is because I haven't listened to music yet lol
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Incer:
Using TWRP: I tried flashing this over CM10.3 and it doesn't boot. Wiping and flashing works but if I install gapps downloaded through goomanager it tries to run the first setup on start, crashes and doesn't react anymore. Flashing without gapps works. Torch crashes. I don't have time right now to migrate all my apps and settings so maybe I'll try again this weekend.

I think that battery life stats with either data or 3G disabled shouldn't be reported, as they only create confusion.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i dont listen music on my phone and my battery life is bad :crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
What do you do on your phone? What settings have you altered? .... Maybe its an app you have downloaded stopping the phone from sleeping properly ..... Chances are though if it is an app uninstalling it won't revert .... Case of trial and error I guess or do a complete wipe and fresh install of ROM and gapps but hold off on other apps and see if its your devices hardware or your software at fault?

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

My stats are with mobile data and WiFi (I don't turn the WiFi off but obviously when I leave the WiFi range I et switched to mobile data) .....

Also just to add 40 minutes of internet radio via the tunein app on WiFi used 11% battery which is about 10% less than on stock for me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
some facebook (no live update crap), some browsing,gmail and chrons are sync, no maps installed and a 2 minute phone call. GPS and other location stuff is turned off, 3g on and that's it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
you got me there then i have maps installed location services are on facebook updates me all the time (i dont always look mind you) ..... maybe try a full wipe and a fresh clean install ..... i dont know if it makes any difference to the end outcome with the battery on the T but it used to on the galaxy ace so its how i have stuck to flashing roms ...... wipe and install the new rom on around 80 - 90 battery then let the phone finish charging while the rom settles .... not sure if it makes any difference but i know it added around an hour to hour and a half on the galaxy ace for me anyways
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i always do a full wipe. reflashing now. and will only install whatsapp, fb, nova launcher and swiftkey. and will try it the next 36 hours
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
well i dont know if it was just pure fluke or if it will re-occur but at 23hours and 56 minutes (last time i checked) from one charge my phone battery died wish i had taken that screen shot ..... will see how it goes and maybe we can work out if its just me or if this can be achieved by everybody if it goes for this long again from a single charge i will get screenshots and post the app's im using and the settings that have been altered and maybe somebody can copy that and see if they get the same .... might help to show what apps cause sleep issues etc?

Got my first reboot today while idle. Wouldn't have known it happened if I hadn't glanced at battery stats
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] glyxkecks:
Also had two hot reboots today within 1 1/2 hour. I didn't had to enter the SIM PIN after reboot - thus it has to be some kind of "hot" reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] glyxkecks:
Also have a huge battery drain - regardless of the screen is on our GPS is used

Gesendet von meinem Xperia T mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
i still have not had 1 reboot (apart from when my battery died completely but i do not feel this counts as the battery died so not really a reboot)

maybe its just luck on my behalf or maybe some way you are flashing or apps you are using? ..... what recovery do you use TWRP or CWM ?

check your settings and what your apps are allowed to do because my gps is on and it has not clocked up anything yet .... again like the reboot thing this maybe luck or this may just be apps / settings either side but i know i dont have these problems
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
after a reflash

63% battery left after 6 hours and 30 minutes with 48 minutes screen time. i only browse the internet, facebook and whatsapp (only apps installed are whatsapp,facebook and apex launcher) . only gmail is synced. So battery is not that good here.

i'm not complaining because it's just a test build and all 4.3 roms have bad battery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] glyxkecks:
About the autobrightness on my phone:

The more dark content there is on the screen, the more the whole screen is dimmed. So after a few seconds even white text on black background is barely readable. The more white there is on the screen the brighter the whole screen it gets...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
wouldnt it be a good idea to wait for any "official" build in an official topic/thread? there isnt any feature in that rom...quiet simple testbuild...

isnt it useless to read one battery report after the next battery report here? (and if u post battery usage stuff, maybe disable wifi and report using 3g^^)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Well this isn't really an official topic here, just an unofficial discussion thread. I'm sure tilal will make his own development thread for official builds of Omni.

And while it is a simple ROM and quite bare bones, it is also by far the best 4.3 ROM we have for the Xperia T right now.

I can't test 3G battery because I have no data plan, sorry. Maybe someone else can.

And the battery reports are hardly useless. Battery is a huge factor in whether or not a ROM is good.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Something is probably wrong if your battery is that bad, did you try reflashing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
im away all weekend so i will test the 3g battery drain properly then but this is by far the most stable 4.3 we have and the best batter 4.2.2 or 4.3 we have too with out question IMHO anyhow .... so yeah im sticking with it for the time being id love to be able to overclock and truely test the battery compared to stock but even with out its still running a lot better and longer .... although this could all change when features are added as im sure they soon will be fingers crossed that they do not effect the battery a huge amount like the sony bloatware for one example
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Dekudan:
From what I remember, back when CM was first being worked on this time last year, everyone had a massive problem with the odd screen backlight. I don't remember exactly, but apparently we have two backlights or something like that. I think it's part of the Bravia engine stuff. But to get round it, I think CM just disabled 1 of the two elements.

Don't quote me on that, though. Although I have noticed in YouTube videos that the brightness fluctuates dramatically sometimes.

I wait for a development thread and a release with twrp included possibly and will test it immediately! :victory::good::)

i afraid not, anyway, can your bootloader be unlocked? if it can, just do it, i'm happy with my unlocked one now :laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MnemonicSyntax:
Okay, so I tried out the ROM. I like it. I eagerly await more features and root.

However, in the meantime, I wanted to go back to CM 10.x. I have the previously mentioned Android with the red exclamation mark, and I read to reflash using ADB. I've done this before, but it's been a long while and I've spent the last few days or so trying to figure out how to do it again. I've done some searching, tried Flashtool, etc.

I know the community frowns on just asking, but I swear that I searched for the proper way to get back to CM, root and CWM, but I'm coming up missing something apparently. Any help you guys could send me? I would be most appreciative.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
Install flashtool, install fastboot drivers* using the .exe file inside flashtool's directory.

Now you need to flash the boot.img file (which you will find inside the ROM's zip) to your device.

After that, you can boot your phone and enter the reinstalled recovery as usual.

I think the rest is typical staff (wipe, install zip etc)

*You won't have any issue doing that if you use Win 7. You will encounter problems if you use Win 8. Google it to find the way to do it.

As far as I know, there's is no way to install those drivers using Win 8.1
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Galcactus:
No, unfortunately mine cannot be unlocked. Hence why the vast majority of my posts for the past few months have all be related to bootloaders :p But trust me, I had my X10 and I was very happy with the unlocked bootloader.

OTOH, I've never seen this problem with any CM10.1 since July when I purchased it, CM10.2 (Tilal's or official) or the various FreeXperia roms on my Xperia T, either. And I use Landscape all the time.

Not that things were perfect along the journey, mind you: Random reboots, videos you record unable to be played, the dreaded Echo bug, speakerphone whine, bad WiFi -- those I've all had along the way. :)

Tilal I don't want to ask for eta's but i can't wait to test new omni builds.. can i ask you if this lack of updates is in common also with all other phones (i mean maybe due to some problems in omni general project for example) or it is slow only on T because you are busy in other things?

Not blaming you of course just curious :p

How is omni project going?

Thanks as always for your contribution ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
Does that mean you 'actively' fixed it? So you were able to find what was the issue and fixed it? Or it just never occurred on this ROM ?
