Guys, I managed to create an .ftf from the boot.img but when I want to flash it flashtool gives me an error, maybe you guys could help me to make it work. I unpacked the .img file with Cygwin and created the sin file from the ftf with a script, please help me because I really want the recovery and this is helping everyone who wants a recovery with locked bootloader, thank you vry much!

P.S- I added the loader.sin and system.sin from the 20.1.a.0.47 because philz only support that firmware but still doesn`t work.

Here is the link for the ftf.

This lock screen is Xperia Xposed (KK) lol....

Nope its the stock Android lockscreen ;)
[Sony Xperia E1] rakshakb:
No !!!! this is originally in system lockscreen!!! Just delete xperialockscreen. Apk from system/apps

If you install the Xperia exposed for kit kat app, the bottom option always you to have the standard android unlock screen, rather than xperia one. I accept your method works fine however the exposed app allows for switching back with better ease.

I have problem with Stamina mode..

Don't know what happens, when i go to settings and turn ''on'' Stamina, when i close settings and back to menu again, it turns stamina mode ''off'' by itself.

I search ''Eco mode controller'', i see that it's not running at all. I clear data and restart phone, nothing help.

Please help, how to start that service again? What should i do?
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
Do you know when functionality was last fine with stamina mode on your device? Can you trace or track any mods that could have conflicted. Do you have a custom recovery with backups you can return too!
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I dont have backup.

I think that this happen when i was greenify ''Eco mode controller'' today.

I remove this from greenify later, but service now wont start at all.

All settings in menu for Stamina and power saving mode is greyed off

I think i must somehow start ''Eco mode controller'' , but i cant do this from settings
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
If you access Eco mode controller via settings>apps, can you force close, clear cache/data. Then reboot device!

[If bootloader is unlocked ?]

Is Google sync ok? If so is it worth using xperia flasher to install newest. 14 build, root and then flash custom kernel/philz touch recovery boot.img

You could run a clean backup, have newest build plus sync would restore core data.

I cant unlock bootloader on my phone ,if something happen, how to make backup?

I asked this before, but none answer me yet..
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
If your device is bootloader unlock allowed: No, then you have a stock 'Back up & restore' Apk in system apps, version 1.kkfs.1 on the 20.1.A.2.13 build. If rooted then Titanium backup app via android market is an old favourite if a custom recovery is not available too you.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

There is a great seller on ebay who provides E1's new in box, sim unlocked and bootloader unlock allowed: yes.

I don't know you financial status to be raising this however obtaining one of these would open up your device options. All my E1's have philz touch recovery with aroma file manager and terminal emulator. While this E3 has a TWRP recovery again only possible with unlocked bootloader. I installed Update-supersu.zip for v2.46 to achieve root via recovery too.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Yes, i can use Titanium backup, but what if i stuck in bootloop?

I asked is it possible to fix this?

Did someone use swap file on experia e1?

And if use, does this make phone faster?

Can someone with experience in this, explain how to setup, which kernel to use, which program for creation swap file, which sd card to use, step by step.. Thanks..
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Currently we have 1 kernel, and that is the stock. PhilZ recovery is using the stock kernel too, so basically we are stuck.

Swapping on this Phone is enabled by default (kernel), but it requires rooting ofc.

I used it once, I didn't feel any improvements whether I used it or not. Maybe my SD Card is too bad to begin with
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
What was the class card you used? My is 10.

If you did not feel any improvements on class 10, then i no need to tryin again..
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
It is a Class 4 SD-Card. Well, your SD card is 6x greater than mine, so you should try it. I will warn you, Swapping will kill your SD Card faster, than using it normally
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Ok, i know. I will probably use swap only when i play games.

How to enable swap?

When i make partition, ext2 , ext3.. What then?
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Okay, after looking at the Condor(Moto E) CM11 port, we (xezrunner) tried to fix the Wi-Fi atleast (We don't need Bluetooth, or we don't use it that much), sound is already working, but the main issue here is the Wi-Fi drivers. After googling about fixes, we looked at libhardware_legacy.so, this is the file that controls the Wi-Fi drivers, we edited It to the stock one via HEX editing, but unfortunetly It is still not working, or xez did It wrong.

After adding a missing lib file, logcat shows:

Of course, we looked at it, and a shorty later:

This is where we gave up. If anyone has ideas, please let us know

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

After looking into things, I have found 2 problems, which might cause the Wi-Fi drivers not load.

1. BOOT.IMG; 2. libhardware_legacy.so (Google is my friend)
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It's also worth mentioning that like tutorials show you, you should NOT replace the storage_lists.xml in the framework_res.apk, as it will cause several issues, such as:

No permissions for apps(CM's built in File Manager won't open for instance)

Settings will crash

Lockscreen will crash System UI

If I don't do any other modifications other than editing the CWM Flash script and removing boot.img, the ROM works perfectly fine, but, of course, no connectivity whatsoever. The only things that work are GPS, Sound and the sensors.
[Sony Xperia E1] rakshakb:

Hey guys, Sony released a new Firmware update for Xperia E1, We don't know If it is 4.4.3, or 4.4.4, But I hope this is something good or I will cry in a corner.

The end number is increased by 5, this means It is a whole bug fix, and maybe, MAYBE, 4.4.4 or 4.4.3 (fingers crossed)

[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Think about it... This update was confirmed just a day ago, that doesn't mean it's gonna be released immidiately. You're going to have to wait at least 1-2 weeks, more or less, we don't know, when Sony pushes it out.

At the moment I am still on build 20.1.A.2.13, as I never found a .14 ftf to install. If it's a move to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 then some of the E1 rooting tricks might no longer work.

Oops, looks like It is for rooted phones only
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
Is that via update-superuser.zip installed via the recovery?

For the .13 build I flashed the .47 kernel using xperia flasher, rooted with Towelroot then used fastboot to flash boot.img with the .14 kernel and philz touch recovery.
[Sony Xperia E1] 7Zero3:
Hey Guys

Know anyone how to re-unlock the E1 bootloader when i have relocked it?

Because it says now when i want to unlock it

"Command did not succed" or something
[Sony Xperia E1] Fobos531:
Thanks, but can I actually flash roms when I have a recovery on a LOCKED BOOTLOADER?
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
You can. xezrunner managed to flash buggy CM11 on his phone, ask him.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
You're going to need to get your phone rooted + the CWM for Locked BL. For rooting 2.13, you need to flash back 0.47's KERNEL. I might do a tutorial on it later. (I never have time for it) When flashed, you can use Towelroot to root.

Then, you install recovery, and flash the ROM you'd like to use. Once flashed, when you try to power on your phone, it will fail at the SONY logo, because you're locked BL. So then you have to go to Flashtool again, and flash the KERNEL again. Doesn't matter which one, just that if it's a KitKat ROM, you need to flash a 20.1.A.*.** kernel. (The reason why this works is because technically, what they do with custom ROMs is that they put the CWM boot.img to the CM11 installer zip, so that you can access CWM after flashing the ROM. But since it's the same kernel as stock, except that it has CWM, you can use the stock kernel but without CWM. No worries though, you can install CWM the same way you did in Stock, just that you no longer need the old kernel to root, as the ROM should be pre-rooted.)

yo guys. im back. been a long time.

be patient people, there will be a firmware update in the next few week that will get us 4.4.3 or 4.4.4

then we will have stuff for our cm11, right?

RIGHT? :D
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Many people said It will only bring bug fixes, such as the VPN, and the Lock style patterns

Though I'm still hoping for a 4.4.4 Update
[Sony Xperia E1] Flynn20:
even tho they might be bugfixes only, its 100% sure that it will be 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 because of the build number.

cant wait tho
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
But unfortunately 4.4.4 won't be enough, Wi-Fi and GPS (Radio) are still different from the other MSM8610 devices, as we only tried on same chipset ROMs.

I'll give it a try anyways. Currently logcat shows Android couldn't make a wpa-supplicant file when I tried fixing the Wi-Fi drivers. Modules didn't work; Tweaking CM didn't work; Trying different MSM8610 ROMs didn't work either, so basically It is a kernel issue which I can't fix myself. It might be a few line changes but I don't know how to begin because

there are no tutorials

regarding Wi-Fi or GPS

Doe's anyone try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager

You can set value in mb and android will free memory when limit is reached.

So you can set example 300mb to stay available always?

Someone said long time ago to try to hack MSM8226 blobs to get it work with MSM8210 kernel. If we can get it right, everything would work, Camera, Sound, etc..

And we can forget about those blobs that are magically "doesn't communicates with android other than Stock ROM"

There's no way that it is impossible. Low budget phone, you can get it for a low amount of money, that's why Sony doesn't want us to make this phone better.
