Thx a ton, i saw it before but didnt get it, now i tried it again and it worked! Now i can flash many ftf files and also all CM editions, 10.1, 10.2 and 11.

But i got a problem when i flash ANY CM rom, namely my pc wont recognize neither sd card nor the phone in any mode and Sony PC Companion gets eror for the drivers, says not recognized or smtn. I thought it was my sd card, because it is very old, but then why does it not recognize the phone?

Is this lonely case or anyone had it as well? Or are ther other non-CM roms i can try if its bc of them/nightlies? I tried latest nightlies of each version 10.1, 10.2 and 11, and 10.2 rc1 also, same result. It connecting fine when i just flash any ftf file, but same for any cm rom...? Also i flashed recovery first from 10.1 (boot.img), but tried 10.2 and 11 also, even tried that fantastic beanstalk rom, same same...

Maybe i should use specific boot.img/ftf/rom combination for it to work? Suggestions?

I forgot to mention, i followed this protocol:

Flash FTF, BLU+Rooting(or vice versa, dont know if it makes a difference), Boot.img, Rom(i can also do blu/rooting after rom flashing). When flashing ROM, wipe cache+data, CM+gapps, wipe cache+data, reboot.

Maybe the problem is in button selections i use in Flashtool? I use rightmost select kernel to flash by doomlord for boot.img and button above to reboot into fastboot. Should i use some other button? Select system to flash or select kernel to hotboot? Tried all 3 and had definite succes with doomlord's options only afai remember.

Hmmm....maybe because most roms are c5503 and mine is c5502 to start with? If i remember correctly that is... To many installs for my poor brain and sleepless nights....

Oh and on a sidenote, about flashing ftf 4.2.2 for c5502 and loosing all root - NOT TRUE! i rooted it with vroot, just not able to upgrade to 267 at all, but it works fine anyway.

OK scratch all that, i can live with different file system and actualy the pc itself recognizes mobile, i just need to open my computer and connect the phone in mtp mode.

But another problem i can live with is it seems the cm11/beanstalk roms have different file system recognition? namely the sdcard address is different, its not mount/sdcard1 and internal storage mount/sdcard0. Now internal is sdcard and the sdcard itself is ext_sdcard or smtn like that.

Solution? It just makes me do some extra steps in file explorer. But What i cant live without is skype! During some process of flashing, blu, ooting and/or cm instal, i get message when i turn the skype on that amazon app store is missing and i need to install it. Well i did. the it asks to log in. i did. thenit says i do not own the app and redirects me to amazon app store to install kindle fire version of skype (wtf?).

Solution?

Now im trying to eliminate factors and i install fresh stock rom (indian 310 version), install fresh skype from playstore, works normaly. But then i rooted and restored apps via titanium backup and voila skype problem is back again? Anyone has the same bug?
