People ask questions because they do not want to brick their device. And how it is explained in the op, it is not clear. A better way to describe the flashing should be: "Fastboot the kernel which is in the zip of the ROM".

Wrong! People ask these questions because it's easier to ask than to use the search button.

Don't get me wrong. I'm always learnig too.

And everyone, at some time, was a new member and that's why there are tons of tutorial threads.

This is a development thread, questions like "What a boot.img?" "Where can i find it?" "How to unlock my bootloader?" shouldn't be posted here.

CM11.0.4 OpenDelta still not working as I expect. Dlds new ROM, then reboots into recovery but this is essentially same like dlding the ROM from PC and flashing manually. If OD is supposed to do only this then it have no special advantage. Thanks for continuous updates tho....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hliasant:
It only downloads the update zips ~ 30mb each, then merges them into a flashable zip.

At least that's how it works for me ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Light-:
you need to have previous build 11.0.3 in your sdcard then it checks file and dowloads only the changed file and patch it with your 11.0.3 build. so it does not download the whole rom. thats whats happened for me in 11.0.4.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AmG77:
OpenDelta is working as expected. For those who have the problem regarding opendelta downloading whole ROM every time you update, make sure you have previous version inside opendelta folder with original name. as it patches the new update with the ROM zip. this is just my guess, i may be wrong.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nbaveja:
Cm11.0.3 size before update 233 mb. Cm11.0.4 size after open delta update 405 mb. Would it keep increasing like this? Is this normal? Would flashing such large file not take more time if size keeps increasing?

No brother nothing happened. . I moved that file in open delta. It is not working. Everytym it shows already upto date.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] androizers:
I guess the only culprit of this mess is : TWRP :p

Might b wrong, but all this mess is createn after using twrp, before it was cwm, all was working flawlessly and superb. No problem, no confusion, no buggs.

Or might be some breakage confusion b/w Superuser and SuperSu which might break the root mechanism, so to over defend that, it doesn't let u flash that, or if flash succeed, then random reboots.

Okay Guys, So the latest Snapshot M8 has been released by CyanogenMod team, nd so the same with our beloved great developer [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION]. :good:

Acc to CyanogenMod team, these r the CHANGELOGS: :cool:

So steps by steps instruction followed.

So the booted normally fine, no lags, no glitches.

The first issue you all will experience is ur SETTINGS will stop responding (FC)

Its obvious, cuz from the changelogs, major changes have been made under SETTINGS Panel, so the fc faced is normal.

Don't panic, just try to clear the data of SETTINGS from Titanium Backup.

The Settings will work normally.

Rest the ROM is quite stable till now, no lags, no glitches as told earlier.

Apps launch at pretty good speed, ram is almost free.

Small bugs experienced till now.

* Quick Settings Panel lag some how, I don't know the reason, or it might be for me only. (Exclusively :p)

* Show Smaller Tiles doesn't work anymore ( Settings> Notification Drawer> Quick Settings Panel )

* Rest I don't know, u tell me. xD

M8 working very good.:good:

Installed and booted perfectly.

I had no FC in settings but it's because i did a full wipe (system, data, cache...)

Quick Settings Panel doesn't lag neither but might be for the same reason.

Will see battery life since its going worst with the last releases i installed, maybe its just the battery dying... :(

ROM seems pretty stable and fast.

Good job [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION]

Yea dude, I got considered it as early dude, but I downloaded it another time and same result.

At first try the result was making of 193 mb file, and then in the second try, it makes a zip of 187 mb..

And 1 thing I notice is that, when patching, the progress just skip from 80-82 % and den shows no confirmation.

Moreover, the folder "FlashAfterDownload" is also empty. So I guess something is going wrong with my device or with deltaone server.

Now rest I don't know.

Xperia P when flashing ROM, switching off and on

(I posted this elsewhere, but my intention was to post it here)

I will not copy the whole message, but please help me with my final step which make me cry.

Here is my issue: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/p-dev...-help-newbies-flashtool-t2107775/post54024707

Here is where I went wrong (instructions are from this thread post #1)

First time flashing CyanogenMod 11.0 your device, or coming from another ROM? You need to be on Unlocked bootloader

Fastboot kernel(boot.img) from the rom zip

Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery

Format data and cache

Flash the Zip

Reboot

I copied boot.img from cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-nypon.zip

I used flashtool, the device started booting and shows additional graphics/icons on the boot, see picture attached

I have attached EMMA status, before actually running it.

I spent so many hours, do I really have to go back to stock?

How do I avoid to do same mistake, what did I do wrong?

Did use wrong boot.img?

Can I make a correction?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] topazonic:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Hello [MENTION=242048]Rrrr[/MENTION],

I was going through your post and i can understand the frustration you're facing. I'll try to help, it may take some additional steps, and hopefully it will work for you.

Firstly I'd like to mention, I haven't used EMMA for flashing the firmwares or the kernel, I've used the flash tool available here - http://www.flashtool.net/download.php

So the steps to follow from a scratch is:

1)Download the flashtool from - http://www.flashtool.net/download.php and install the appropriate drivers present in (C:\Flashtool\drivers assuming you installed flashtool in C:\Flashtool) However i assume that since you've already installed EMMA successfully, you shouldn't have issues with the drivers, and you may skip this step.

2)Download the latest Xperia P firmware

3)Extract the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod ROM using winzip/winrar/7zip and save it in a flder in your PC

4)Copy the Cyanogenmod rom to the storage of Xperia P

5)Flash the firmware using flashmode option

6)Power on the phone and let it boot and update the latest NFC firmware and then switch off the phone

7)Flash the boot.img using the fastboot mode

8) Once it's done, restart the phone, sometimes the phone will vibrate at the SONY logo, however for me it didn't initially, so instead keep pressing the volume up key, it's a trial and error. It worked for me and i could get into recovery.

9)Do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and then Flash the cyanogenmod rom and reboot

I've asked you to flash the firmware again, as it's better to do a clean flash.

I think you have an issue with step 8, and hopefully it may work with the solution I've provided.

Regards,

CD

Mine is 22 months, and the battery has totally gone mad. Em thinkin' of a new battery till I don't get new cell driver. xD

Anyhow, is the "Wakelock Detector" better than "BetterBatteryStats"??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
I don't understand your issue, why do you want to download the update, if you already flashed the latest firmware. Just flash the latest firmware and start your phone and then switch it off after the first boot. the first boot is needed only for the nfc firmware to update itself. Do not go into the setup or try updating it. Also, please share some screenshots of what exactly you're doing

Once it's done, switch off the phone and flash the boot.img.

You don't have to worry about the rooting, as the boot.img has the rooted kernel. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked.

It was a trial and error, i too was frustrated with the power button not working, so i pressed the volume up/ volume down key for a while at the sony logo till it disappeared. Worst case scenario is to flash the boot.img from weekly9, enter the recovery and then flash the latest CM rom.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thubi:
I can confirm absolute the same procedure and behavior as described by Rrrr.

So far I could not manage to get into recovery following the procedure on 1st page.. (Also tested Volume Up, Volume down,...)

The vibration is more or less in parallel with the pressing the power button to start (long before the Sony logo appears), also the blue Led lights for less then 1s at that time.

To short to react.... As soon the Sony logo is there, no vibration anymore.

Since a lot of people reporting this, is there maybe a bug in the boot.img or issue with the new TWRP?

------Update---

I finally managed it by using a boot.img with cwm from a old weekly (w3, I still had it on the disk)

Installation of CM11 M8 was done in minutes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rrrr:
Thanks for your help guys, in the meantime I tried another boot.img, from CM10.x here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46909946&postcount=364

This led me straight into CWM recovery using volume down key and I could then install CM11 M8.

Funny thing is, Percy is (of course) right:

Upon boot you really have to wait for SONY logo and the vibration, then continue to press power key and you will get into TWRP recovery.

Upon boot you really have to wait for SONY logo and the vibration, then continue to press power key and you will get into TWRP recovery.

Upon boot you really have to wait for SONY logo and the vibration, then continue to press power key and you will get into TWRP recovery.

Getting into recovery with CM11 M8 is different and goes to a different recovery software: not CWM but TWRP!

(Believe me I have been reading again and again and tried my utmost...)
