only use twrp manager to properly flash recovery and select proper and official versions of twrp if you dont have a pc

Because there would be craploads of noobs that aren't able to flash ROM, and that will wipe/nuke their entire phone, thus spam in here, bothering around... In short, everything that's possible to stop serious development
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Ok.. guys..

I just flashed a complete ftf 6.2.B.1.96 original sony firmware with flashtool.

Result? Stuck at the boot. The phone keeps resetting.

Any idea?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepsal:
Did you personally use it, let's hope that [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] can take the time out from his busy schedule to add the support
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I have implemented it in the past in my tests and the kernel has even got the required commits but it was to much hassle expecially when you go between roms and I hate to say it won't ever be included.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Guess I'm a little bit late here, but I'll rewrite what I can remember in details, if it still matters

1. now you got that crappy recovery with freexperia logo

2. go download the twrp 2.8.0.1 (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-LT26i.img) from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/nozomi (is it just me or the auto expand of the details in this page is EXTREMELY annoying and makes it so damn hard to get to the actual file you want?)

3. open up flashtool, assuming you have Windows and flash the original kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56628567&postcount=4118

I have no idea how if you dont use Windows, as fastboot doesn't seems to work here

4. follow the command from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144

5. If the steps I said earlier worked then enter twrp and dirty flash the original ROM, and it should boot now ( although I have to reflash Gapps because somehow google service is lost)

The above method is what I remember that I've done (can't guarantee will work, as I'm quite dizzy when trying to save my phone), and only applies to those who have flashed twrp using Flashify and got the one with FreeXPeria logo. There might be an easier way ( maybe flashing the recovery using flashtool?) but this is what worked for me.

Now before someone tell me don't help other because this has been discussed before:

1. This is not quite the same situation, we got the crappy fxp logo thing, and your old "go to the website and follow instruction" method won't work

2. fastboot can't detect device with that fxp thing

3. Flashify doesn't download 2.8.1.0, we got to choose which version we want, and I (we) chose 2.8.0.1

4. That crappy fxp-twrp can't flash the ROM, error log says something that it can't handle SELinux

I guess reading instruction is too much to ask these day...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepsal:
Maybe after the final paranoid kitkat build with all the bugs sorted out? The stable 4.4 build with f2fs could serve as a stable build which people wouldn't need to switch roms as much, and if it goes smoothly other developers may add the support for it too

Either way you call the shots, thanks for replying [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Yea that OR since everyone has to increase data partition for Lollipop (if I'm not mistaken) perhaps it would be a less irritating transition for the noobs (and some ignorant/impatient people who don't want to read and follow). So if Rayman succeeds to port I guess it'd be sensible if he does it with f2fs

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Remove this. TWRP manager downloads 2.8.1.0 which is not working. They're already very confused. Don't add to it

I try to find answer to my questions every time, but this time I can't.

Today, after reboot my phone can't properly set the date, and (I think) because of that Google services doesn't work properly. Also, nova launcher can't display widgets, WiFi connection doesn't work properly. Many, many problems because of this. Twrp displayed wrong time since my beginnings with XS, so it didn't bother me (backups had wrong date), but now I can't even use my phone.

Anyone experienced something like this? I hope, I don't need to wipe everything. I remember I had this issue once, and it just disappeared after few reboots. But now, I tried few things, spend 2 hours, and its still like this. Please, help.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qbzee007:
is it me or does this rom not have the fast charge function. Just flashed to it after having gone back to stock rom for the past two months and I am finding that It is not charging whilst connecting to USB just maintaining the same level of power.

Also, the phone has started heating up slightly after I installed the rom.

Finally i've started to use CM10.1, because for now works very well, and all 4.4.4 have a lot of bugs that sometimes make it bad for daily usage. The problem is that Xperia S is old enough to be forgotten, then all 4.4.4 versions are just patched versions of original ROM.

For now i've installed Walkman, Album, Video and Home, and works very fast (even without xLoud, the sound is loud enough to compete with it). Maybe some day if i find what i want (and i get the permission of ports devs), i'll do a CM10.1 based ROM with some sony apps.

Microphone issue

Hi. Anyone having problems with the phone microphone. I typically use a bluetooth earpiece when I'm on the road. When I turn off bluetooth, say when I'm in the office or at home, I've noticed that the microphone is not active. During calls, I can hear the speaker on the other end but they cannot hear me. I have to use the earphone or bluetooth set to proceed with the calls. Also, the microphone seems off in other apps such as the Sound recorder, Shazam, etc.

It does not always happen when I disconnect the bluetooth piece but it's happening a lot more frequently. Typically a restart would fix the issue but I've tried restarting severally now without any success.

Any help? Thanks!

But you've got SL, it maybe could depend on that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jounsa:
I'm on the 4.6-Beta4 build that was uploaded on Oct. 9th.

Guys.. any news about a final update?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pirateghost:
There isn't a 'final'. Beta5 was it.

#stayparanoid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
But.. since the beta is the final version.. why call it beta?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pirateghost:
Because the features never got the bugs squashed...

PA has beta tags when we release builds with bugs that we are working on. The tag is intended for a particular feature. Not the overall product.

DSB and card stack recents never got ironed out before lollipop source dropped. We won't release another KitKat build.

#stayparanoid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
And what about our legacy rom? will it get over the beta 6? Or we'll get lollipop directly?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pirateghost:
Beta 6 was nothing. You don't need it

#stayparanoid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Man, you've never been so wrong.. with Beta 5 I had gps issues and soft crashes.. with beta 6 everything works well (except cwm)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pirateghost:
If you have an unofficial beta 6 why are you asking for it?

Speaking of, it would appear that nozomi was pulled from legacy build servers after beta 4.

Whatever changes that were done in your beta5/beta6 were not in aospa legacy gerrit/github.

We didn't make any changes TO THE ROM between beta 5 and beta 6. It was mainly to fix oppo and one plus one which are official devices.

#stayparanoid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
first: I've asked for a last update, not for the beta6..

second: That's why I asked here in this unofficial nozomi thread and not in the paranoid official site..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Pirateghost:
If official devices never got a final, nor are they going to, why would a legacy device get a final build?

Final/stable build would mean that someone had gone and fixed card stack recents and DSB after lollipop source dropped. That would have to be done by the PA team and implemented into a stable build before legacy devices would get it.

Everyone is playing with lollipop. All development from PA for KitKat has ceased.

#stayparanoid
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Beta refers to stability and feature above all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
You're wrong. Pirateghost is right. Something went wrong with the Beta 5 build and it couldn't compile for Nozomi. deedwar found the error but unfortunately after that there weren't any official builds by the PA team as they started working on Lollipop (Beta 6 was just for a few devices). That is why I asked deedwar to compile one himself, which luckily fixed a lot of errors (must have something to do with his kernel. I'm not sure)

Pirateghost has been kind enough to respond to your queries but PA team is not really responsible for our device. So KitKat is done! Just live with the remainder bugs. And as for Lollipop, it depends on what Rayman and deedwar end up doing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Sorry but I don't understand why I'm wrong.. I just asked if there will ever be another update, I didn't announce the coming of it.. so, no sentence, no error.. right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
There won't be another update till I work out the lollipop source and until recently it wouldn't even build with my one plus one and that has the latest drivers. So now that it works I will see what I can do about updating the source code to work with the XS

We never got Beta 5 as it failed to compile. Beta 4 had a lot of problems (I'm only talking about Nozomi) and then deedwar compiled Beta 6 himself, which is what we're using now
