Reinstall old boot.img.

Hopefully your phone can boot now so you can backup your data.

Boot into cwm and make a factory reset.

Power off.

Install new boot.img.

Cannot install ROM on mango. I thought it was the noname SD card but it isn't. Same problem with a nearly new A-data 32 GB UHS II card from my DSLM.

E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/cm-11... .zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

What now?? Sorry to say that, but quality is worse and worse since really unstable May update.

I'm glad to have a new moto G for two weeks so mango is only for backup since then.

then flash attached zip file, created by me from previous LX build. It is for mango, but maybe work for others 2011´s

Can you check if the md5 checksum matches? There's a possibility the file was corrupted during upload.

I really had minimal free time since June and 2 official CM devices to maintain, I wasn't able to work on semc and relied on home builders for testing.

Something is wrong with the updated yaffs kernel driver and causes incompatibilities with previous updates.

You should be able to boot with these steps:

flash the old working boot.img

boot to recovery

backup everything

wipe system/data/cache

flash new boot.img

boot to recovery

restore backups

flash new update
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kong2000:
I already checked. It does match. I didn't want to offend you and of course I know you are working here for free. Just wanted to inform you that some of your customers are unhappy. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] z75h:
check the md5 checksum of the ROM zip in sdcard? sometimes an unstable cable may cause a bad zip.

or flash OFFICAL 4.1.B.0.587 ftf firmware again, then latest cm11.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kong2000:
Yes I checked this too. I can boot into CWM now but I can't install ROM. There is no reason for me to think it would work after flashing stock ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darzur:
Today noticed another strange thing after update my SK17i to latest LXP CM11 - can't install Xposed Framework because it says its not compatible. I had it installed before and worked without problems, but don't remember exactly on which release it was. It most probably was cm-11-20150511 or 20150723 but I'm not sure. Then after update to cm-11-20151117 I ended with stuck CWM logo, so erased everything and installed it from scratch. Now it works, but without possibility to install Xposed. Tried CM12.1 too, but it's far too heavy for SK17i or maybe just my SD is too slow.

I upgraded my Iyokan last night and have no problems so far. Finally the audio is working properly and that was the only problem I really had anyway. Seems this might be the rom that finally crossed the Ts and dotted the Is, great job :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zbatman:
Hi everyone, I might have a problem,

So I was on the 20150511 version until today I decided the time has come to upgrade. I downloaded the latest (20151117) CM11 version, flashed the kernel, went to recovery, didn't wipe anything, gone straight to "install .zip from SD card" and installed the .zip. Once the phone booted it complained that the storage space is low. I checked, and there was only ~27MB left on /data while it usually is ~90MB (I don't have many apps).

Then I decided to do the clean install, went back to recovery, formatted /system, /data and /cache and reinstalled .zip and gapps. Rebooted and nothing, still ~27MB free on /data. Then I tried everything again just without flashing gapps, same result. In the storage menu it says total space 470MB, free 26.93MB and apps 107MB.

OK, so I will just go back to stock .587 and try everything again. Flashed stock rom and after it finished optimising apps it rebooted and stayed on the blank screen. I flashed back the 20150511 kernel and rom and it booted back to ~27MB free on /data.

So I'm kinda out of ideas here. Is it finally dead or is there something else I could try.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MindLeader:
Did you wipe data and wipe cache on CWM's main screen?(I'm not talking about format /data and /cache which in "mount and storage" stage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zbatman:
Yup, tried everything. Multiple times. Sometimes just wipe cache and data, sometimes just format, sometimes both, with reinstall of rom in between of course :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MindLeader:
There are two stupid idea in my head; :eek:

1. CWM is not working for format and wipe, so go settings and try factory reset.

2. Internal memory is dying.

SAME PROBLEM HERE SOLVED BY INSTALLED LX CM12.1

Xperia Mini St15i rooted unlocked bootloader. Running on CM 11.0 very well

but I recent update to latest build 24072015 and I can't boot my phone; after I tried to restore my old backup,tried to install old Rom which is( I installed in past successful)l and tried flash Xperia mini stock rom ftf (various version) but phone doesn't start .

I can install all of them successfully,wipe data/cache/system and reflash roms but phone does not start. always displays error of "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped and phone restart on boot logo again and again.

update......

I recently flash BeanStalk-4.4006-20131128-smultron and after many tries I success to start phone but I noticed that in apps only 50 MB memory is free. I didn't have installed any app. in past I have there is about 370 MB free.(xperia mini has 420 mb data partition)

I have try to erase system,data with fastboot but nothing happens

I tried to flash sony origional firmware too but it only restarts again and again .

I have tried to erase system and userdata with fastboot but i see that it encountered 1400 bad block in erase data.

I think my data partition is full. after reboot in recovery there is an error of " no space left in device " phone does not start normally. I can boot in recovery but still can not use phone .

I thankful to karandpr for advise "

There are roughly 1600-1700 blocks in userdata...if 1400 are corrupted then it means 360 mb is useless..... Your /data has only 60 mb usable.... That won't even accommodate dalvik ...

Try CM 12 since it uses external userdata."

And I can start my phone with CM 12.1 -20150724-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.

I am having trouble updating to a post-20150511 build on my iyokan. Even after following your instructions (format system/data/cache in CWM recovery before flashing the new kernel) the phone is stuck in a bootloop with newer kernels, e.g. 20150723 and the latest 20151117 kernel. I cannot get into recovery, it's just stuck on the LegacyXperia screen. Could this be device specific? Any of you guys having successfully updated an Xperia Pro to a post-20150511 build with the new yaffs driver? Any idea how I could pull some logs off the phone as I have no access to the phone via ADB?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
Format system/data/cache AFTER flashing the new kernel. The new partition scheme is defined by the new kernel. Read the instructions again :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vikusz:
I cannot get into recovery after flashing the new kernel.

I am not moving from stock to LX, merely updating my LX-CM11 2015-05-11 to LX-CM11 2015-11-17. The partition layout did not change between these versions AFAIK.

edit: I haven't tried erasing /system and /data using fastboot. I'll try that now.

edit2: Erasing system and userdata in fastboot mode did not help at all. I am still stuck at the LegacyXperia screen after flashing any post 2015-05-11 kernel (after formatting everything).

Have you checked your recovery logfile for badblock errors after format? One of my smultrons stopped to boot on cm11 due to bad internal memory, cm12.1 still works though.

Does anyone else have problems whit WhatsApp? It's always eating a lot of battery. Sometimes a restart helps, but only for one or two days. Reinstalling made no difference. I have not seen general reports about that issue, could it somehow be related to the rom?

Thanks for the tip but I couldn't find anything that seemed relevant in the recovery log. I am not really sure what to look for, though. Could you take a look at the log yourself?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] v.belimov:
You have to check log on your PC right after flashing the kernel. Maybe there are bad blocks encountered on memory that prevent to boot into recovery. Or maybe there is a problem with hardware (Volume -- button is not working to get into recovery).

Anyone here using TWRP with this Custom ROM? I was wondering whether anyone knows whether there's a kernel that uses TWRP instead of CWM? Am I right to assume the recovery & kernel are bundled together in the boot image? If so, does this mean that someone here has to compile a TWRP kernel that will be compatible and runs perfectly okay with this ROM?..

Much appreciate the response!.. Thanks... ;)

this is really useless what u ask for.

In fact it does. There is a CM10 (or CM9, can't remember properly) kernel with TWRP on a forum. So if anyone wants CM11 with TWRP, one does only have to compile.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vikusz:
I almost gave up when I found the answer in your post. "VOL DOWN" key. The recovery key on my Xperia pro has always been the BACK key, I had no idea it got changed to VOL DOWN in recent kernels. Thanks for the tip.
[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] May I ask why you guys have changed the recovery key on iyokan from BACK to VOL DOWN? Were there any other changes (fastboot, flashmode key)? I must have missed this in the changelog.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
ur sure m8? because i never had iyokan, but arc & there holding the back key while connecting usb is fastboot mode... since like forever :D happy it worked 4 you throught.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vikusz:
Yes, I'm sure. On iyokan, with all kernels up to cm11 2015-05-11 I used the BACK key to access recovery. As it turns out, the VOL DOWN key also worked in these kernels but I never knew about that. Kernels since 2015-07-23 use VOL DOWN only. I don't mind the change, but I don't see it mentioned in the changelog and I don't recall anyone writing about this in the cm11 threads either.

Back key while connecting USB (with phone off) is flash mode on iyokan while the menu key is used to enter fastboot mode, but these are different things.

DSP Manager doesnt work.

Hi to everyone) Please tell me what to do if my DSP manager doesnt change the sound at all? Or may be i am just dont get it right, when thinking 'bout how it has to be working?

Phone is satsuma (st17i), rom is cm-11-20151117-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma

Im listening to musik from vk.com thru "kate mobile" apk and when i plugging in my headphones - first of all i dont see the headphone icon in the statusbar. And the second - no matter what i do in DSP manager - nothing happens with my sound. Please tell me where to move in searching of solution? Is it a good idea to switch DSP app off and install Viper4Android?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndStuff:
About the headphones icon, i don't recall a single time that this poped up since i installed CM on my xmp. I think this is just how the rom works.

Viper will not help. Kate app uses build-in music player which doesn't support external sound managers. You have to request Kate app developer to integrate such support into the app. Good luck :)

Hi everybody,

since about 1 month my Xperia Neo is on latest "cm-11-20151117-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-hallon".

Everything is working well so far, but in the last 3 days I encountered the following problem about once per day:

When I pulled down the status bar it stopped and froze, means I could not move it anymore.

One time it was one third the way down when it stopped, next time all the way down.

I could still hit things underneath it, accidentally of course, but everything else worked.

The only solution I found was to reboot.

Any idea?

is there any chance to get the stock browser of legacy xperia into the context menu "open as" ?

There are 3rd party browsers like opera but not the stock browser.

I need this to open .html files conveniently as now I have to open them in another browser first to get the correct path (something like "file:///storage/sdcard0/Download/..."), so I can paste it into the stock browser.

Any idea?
