[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Yesterday I had to go back to the original firmware for some tests. I don't know why but after that I couldn't reflash the custom kernel.

So I used this recovery installer to restore my system from nandroid backup and everything is in order again... :)

[MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] - more than once: Thank you very much!

...
[Sony Xperia L] Gabboxxx:
Nice work :)

One question, whith this version can i flash some files??

Thanks
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
You installed it and got it working?

I was sure it was broken...

Anyway: flashing some files is also possible with the original one in the op. Just flashing a rom can get problematic.
[Sony Xperia L] Gabboxxx:
No yet, Beacause im not whith my computer :(

I not have much time to try mew stuff for the Phone :/

Thanks :D

It not work :(
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:
Flash Gordon havent worked for me. But you can try.
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
When will we get the another stable version of cwm? I can't flash anything. :(
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Soon, I promise :good:
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Is there anyone in Holland who would let me borrow his/her Xperia L/M/M Dual for a maximum of 2 weeks?

It will make debugging it a lot easier if I had the phone myself... The M/M Dual are similar and at least the same firm has been used to create the firmware, so they both have the sa77_recovery method we use...

If not, I'll have to have at least 3 people willing to help me out on hangouts, send me a PM with your gmail handle so i can add you :)
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Okay, 3 people found :)

Will start work on it soon again :)

If you still want to help out ALPHA testing, please do PM me your hangouts gmail address :)

Anything new on stable version [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]?
[Sony Xperia L] Omya:
works on latest official update ?
[Sony Xperia L] Ghostfreak NB:
Thanks [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] and those involved for your works..

I'm facing a small issue.The flashing went fine,however I'm not getting any change after the flash.

For e.g.,i tried to flash a custom font zip,the flashing went smoothly,however i still found my old font instead of the new one.I can confirm the zip is not corrupt as I've flashed the same on my other device and it went fine.

Any inputs on this one?

:confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:
They are working on it, you should read the forum.
[Sony Xperia L] Ghostfreak NB:
I'd suggest you to quote the person concerned so as to avoid miscommunication..

For once, I felt it was an answer to my post.. ;)
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
Still waiting, with eager anticipation and patience, for a stable release of CWM.

Any news to keep us updated, [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] ? Thanks for at least taking an initiative to make CWM. Good luck ;)
[Sony Xperia L] rudyasho:
greats job...
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Yeah, one important one:

Oh man, it took me a while, but I'm finally done adding 1 and 1 to conclude what the reason is for the recovery to dissappear...

I'll update the installer soon. The reason for this to start happening is because supersu claimed the install-recovery.sh file.
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
So it's finished soon? A non glitchy version?? :D:thumbup:
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
Brilliant news! I think the wait is over for us, just a few moments away!

C'mon man, been patiently waiting :)

A month has passed since the last post here. any news? i'm patiently waiting for this recovery, since i have locked bootloader and i can't unlock it. :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
No news ... I was close to purchasing a Xperia L a week ago... but the damn bugger sold it to someone else :(
[Sony Xperia L] a.moiz0322:
Any update? MONTH has passed.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Yes, at this very moment an Xperia L is waiting for me at work :D

The only downside is that I'm sick and on sick leave because of that...

Will update as soon as I have more info!
[Sony Xperia L] a.moiz0322:
I hope you get well soon. :)
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Still sick at home, had a colleague test it for functionality:

:D
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
Soon we will have a proper recovery for our Xperia L (locked/unlocked bootloader)!

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]: Thank you for keeping your interest on our device! :D
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
How soon is soon?:$
[Sony Xperia L] dic1911:
just be patient, all you need to know is he/she is working on it

Sorry for my bad English...
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
I can't be patient. I've been waiting like 6 months...
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
The devs, specially [NUT], are doing us a favour, so let's not start complaining about it. We must wait all the necessary time, even if that mean more weeks or months.

We really want cwm on our devices, but some of us are not doing nothing to get it, so what we must say to the dev is: thank you for trying, and for spending part of your free time with our device.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Sofar I have been able to get cwm to boot, but it reboots shortly after starting and another attempt ended up with a working cwm but a bootstall when trying to get in to the rom.

More work to be done, but I'm working on it :)
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
:victory: :victory: :victory: :victory:

One last bug to fix: while scrolling down the CWM menu, it is causing the screen to jump 50% sideway with each volume key press.

Other then that (very annoying) bug, this version is safe to use on locked bootloader devices using FW .14/.17 (tested myself).

CWM_XperiaL_LockedBootloader.zip (2.59MB)
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
This issue is related to kernel itself as kernel needs framebuffer fix to fix graphic glitches in CWM and TWRP. It'll be great if you find some way to fix it. :)
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
I believe this is a different bug as this does not qualify as a jitter from my perspective...

The cwm inside Rachit's extended kernel is behaving nicely with only a jolt every so often... Which makes me believe there is something which gets changed or setup to compensate just before or during the on fs stage...
[Sony Xperia L] :
The jump is kinda funny actually, haha. :P

But I think I found another bug. When pressing "reboot system" option, it jumps to the build-in recovery (probably) and pressing reboot again results in some kind of boot-loop with three vibrates during the Sony logo. After that it boots normally to the system. Is that normal?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
You flashed Rachit's whole kernel or just boot.img? I mean did you replace default kernel too?

This is the fix I am talking about, it completely fixes any kind of jitters in recoveries- https://github.com/varunchitre15/an...mmit/3fd4c1677d6e6a8d37be9e37636a88982c29f135
[Sony Xperia L] Mrcl1450:
It´s only me or the backup doesn't work? :confused:

Thanks for your hard work. :good:
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
I tested the new version of the cwm recovery. Till now i found a few bugs:

When trying to:

Mount data: Error mouting /data!

Mount sdcard: Error mouting /sdcard!

When trying to do:

Backup: Can't mount backup path.

Restore: E: Can't mount /sdcard

Backup to external sdcard: It can backup /system, but can't backup /data.

And when pressing "reboot system" it has the same behaviour nicholas said on post #127

I tried to flash a zip file and it worked. The flashed zip was 15.3.A.1.17 Deodexed, Zipaligned Flashable Zip.
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:
The same problem here.

I Tryed to flash The xperia Z1 Camera mod.

It writes: E: "Can't mount sdcard/Honami Camera Xperial4.2.2.zip"
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Last minute changes XD

Sorry folks, will release a fixed version later tonight.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

The entire kernel including flashing it in recovery (as it's the only way to get wifi to work).

Something is getting changed between the init hijack in the kernel version and the on fs init stage where the latest version hijacks the boot process. This is causing the jump (and not jitter)...
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Fixed the mount issues, menu is still jumping.

Apologies, I undid a change right before packing it to put online... this change proved to be crucial :eek:

How to remove cwm
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Delete e2fsck, recovery.tar and recovery.sh from /system/bin and rename e2fsck.bin to e2fsck, that will be enough.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
For anyone who wants to see the screen jump bug but doesn't want to install it for whatever reason:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwOqX0oncE_tb1hyVU50YzZfdDA/edit

I've been unable to find the cause of this so far, it's awkward to say the least...

I have updated the github repo for anyone to take a look at the stock ramdisk with me:

https://github.com/rachit-rc/sa77-CWMInstaller

---

I have also received a notification by PM by someone who is unable to post here:

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

---

[MENTION=4905182]nicholas[/MENTION] I finally have been able to confirm your report on reboot to system which leads to the built in recovery... My first and only guess is that it responds on the existence of the recovery folder inside the cache partition. I have to investigate it a bit more to try and find a solution.

The multiple vibrations after rebooting from the built-in recovery is due to the hijack not being able to write a flag file to the active ramdisk, so it restarts as many times as e2fsck is called in the init. I will try to find a solution to this too. This issue has been fixed for the next release.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I think I know the reason for this. Earlier Sony kernels had this reserved field bug which [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] has addressed here- https://github.com/rachit-rc/sa77-4.1/commit/cc5ad88cc589a0669c13bb7a216b588951cffd52

This was the reason he was unable to boot CWM on locked bootloader on 4.1 but after 4.2 update, this issue was fixed in our kernel with the help of which he made this recovery for locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
So, if I get this correctly: when on locked bootloader (perhaps not unlockable) you NEED to be on 4.2 to be able to have a working recovery?
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Right, that sucks :p

[MENTION=4373269]nenat00[/MENTION] sorry dude, you will have to put up with the bugs if you want recovery...
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
CWM_XperiaL_LockedBootloader_3.zip (3.48MB)

Updated CWM to 6.0.4.8, built by me using the CM-11.0 device repo from [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION].

The reboot to system from within CWM causing the stock recovery to appear has been fixed by this update.

The multiple vibrations and a long wait at the green led is now back to one vibration and 3 seconds to press a volume button.

The menu still jumps, but now starts in an offset position... still working on it though.

Known issue: the touch/swipe actions which are supposed to work on this version of CWM,

do not work

.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
It's issue with our touch driver, it doesn't work for any of us either. I will be looking into this why it doesn't.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
While working on this update and trying to fix the jumping menu it got a bit late, so I decided to release it 'as is' because it still brings along some improvements :)

The changes I did where in the gr_flip code, as it did affect the issue I'll keep poking there some more...

On the touch issue, some devices I have included in the xzdualrecovery releases needed a few or all of its sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope mainly) ignored to get philz touch and twrp to work, maybe the same thing is bugging the touch driver here.
[Sony Xperia L] totzkitotz:
wow, thanks for the update sir NUT :good: atlastt

hope that you will help to make this recovery mode fix for locked bootloaders :D heheheh thanks again sir ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
First of all, and very important: [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION], thank you for your extraordinary work on this recovery until now!

There is another minor bug.

When we do a backup and try to find it on recovery, or go to clockworkmod folder to move it to the PC, etc, the name saved doesn't have the correct date/time. The attached image prove what I said.
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
Yeah, that's one 'bug' I still need to fix but it will be fixed once all other more pressing bugs have been resolved.

I already know how to fix that, just prioritizing the major bugs to be fixed first.
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
If i don't mind the small bugs like the wrong date and jumps in menu. Is it safe too use and does it work like it should?
[Sony Xperia L] [NUT]:
AFAIK, yes it should be safe to use, it just looks wrong :p
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
Wrong version

I just noticed i've got the wrong version. I've got 15.3.A.1.14 :(
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
As far as I know, and like [NUT] said before: It works with both version of stock rom, 15.3.A.1.14 and 15.3.A.1.17.
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
Will I be really dumb if I ask how to install this? I've downloaded the files, do I just need to connect my phone to PC and run install.bat? Thanks in advance, guys.

EDIT: Oh wait, there's no install.bat. Can someone help me? I'm new to this.
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:
Yes.

Root your phone

Make sure that usb debugging is allowed, in the developer options.

Than connect your phone and run the .bat file.
[Sony Xperia L] mckeviin:
Yes it worked. I tried it anyway and it's working like a charm. If you ignore the menu jumps :P
[Sony Xperia L] a.moiz0322:
Is it possible that in future we can flash kitkat roms on our locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia L] luqman@dr:
No option flash zip, unless i should pull out the battery.
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:
That's the original recovery, you should try to turn off, or put out the baterry, then turn on and push volume down.
[Sony Xperia L] wadb:
Just a question: Can we install CM11 or any other ROM with this latest cwm on locked bootloaders? Or only ROMS with stock kernel?

Enviado desde mi Xperia L mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
For now, we can only flash stock based roms. But that isn't a recovery restriction/problem, I guess. Maybe in the future we can install other custom roms, but that depends on roms developers. They will need to "hack" some files to make those roms work. Even if we can flash those roms in the future, we are forced to use stock kernel because of locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia L] Mrcl1450:
Well, I've already seen cm for locked bootloaders to other xperia so maybe someone can do it for xl.
[Sony Xperia L] :
I am sorry, wrong tread.
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:
Will this work for 15.3.A.1.14 version ????
[Sony Xperia L] Tidzsi:

[Sony Xperia L] paper13579:
Hey [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]. Since the xperia m and m dual are so very much siblings of the xperia L, i thought that you guys could make this kind of recovery possible on the xperia m too. See, we just need developers like you guys to help us out when it comes to locked bootloaders. No one in the xperia m subforum seems to have an idea on how to make a recovery work on locked bootloaders. This is definitely slowing down the development of the xperia m and it would be awesome if you guys could look into it. Thank you for your time.
[Sony Xperia L] FantasticalX:
They haven't the device or atleast maybe they needs a tester(s).

[Moto X Q&A] TheSaw:
Hello,

I did some research recently, and this caused a little bit of confusion, so I'll post a quick question:

I'm trying to buy this phone on ebay (since I don't have a US CC card), which one should I get, the T-Mobile or AT&T version?

Requirements:

- to unlock it for Europe GSM

- install CyanogenMod

As of now I was going for the T-Mobile, since I've read it's easier to unlock the bootloader, but now I see that the CM is only for AT&T phones? Or am I mistaking?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
It doesn't matter any more. When you purchase from the Moto web site you ask for the GSM version. There is no more differentiation between the T-Mo and AT&T versions. You'll get the XT1053, the former T-Mo version.
[Moto X Q&A] RenSoAbrupt:
Any source confirming this?

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] TheSaw:
Are you sure about this? Cause if you look it up, everyone is saying that the T-Mobile bootloader can be unlocked, and the AT&T can not.
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
Yes, me. I bought a T-Mobile Moto X in November and had to choose my carrier. I bought another Moto X last week and there was no carrier selection, I only had to choose between GSM and CDMA. Both times I received an XT1053 with a T-Mobile SIM in it.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

I have no knowledge of the bootloader situation, only my experience with the purchases as noted above.
[Moto X Q&A] RenSoAbrupt:
As far as AT&T bootloader goes it is still not unlockable. When it will be? Nobody really knows if Motorola is going to add it to its Unlock program.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
Appears they still technically differentiate between the versions, but are upfront about the T-Mobile version working with either carrier.
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
Yes, it does. Looks as if they changed it again. I didn't get that selection panel when I bought one a week ago. I guess you can still get the XT1058 model for AT&T. However, if I were buying one I'm not sure why I would order the AT&T model over the GSM model based on the description. I would get the XT1053 anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
Maybe they were temporarily sold out of the AT&T model? There is some LTE band on the AT&T model not available on the XT1053, but if I remember that band isn't used currently by AT&T in the USA anyways. People might also want all that wonderful added value bloatware software not on the XT1053 and have the inconvenience safety of a locked SIM.
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
Hmm...good points. :/ I'll take my chances without the software and lock.

HELLO TO ALL A90S USERS ...

FIRST OF ALL I LIKE TO THANK ALL THE DEVELOPERS WHO KEEP THE DEVICE DEVELOPMENT ALIVE !

Hello, I am ABHISHEK.

I like to make fastest ROM for A90S, so obviously it is based on stock ICS.

My achievement on a90s : I made 327 MB free RAM memory in A90S @ starting, and 270 MB average free RAM memory.

Currently I am borrowing the stuffs to make this ROM powerful.

YOU CAN HELP ME BUILDING THIS ROM BY SUGGESTING ME APPS,SCRIPTS,MODS,AUDIO DRIVERS-ENGINES which should in the ROM.

IF ANYONE INTERESTED IN MAKING A ROM WITH ME ... I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT !

TEAMWORK IS ALWAYS BETTER !

THANK YOU !
