[Sony Xperia E1] urmanio23:
As far as I know, there is no custom kernel for Xperia E1 so don't just go around flashing stuff on this phone. Also there is no CWM for this phone yet so if you break your phone (hard-break) you will kill your phone, no way to revive it. Wait until the masters of XDA make some progress and release a custom recovery for this phone and then you can make anything you want with it :D
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
None of those "masters" have this phone, so probably they don't care about it. They even said this phone is bad and no one will buy it.

Hi everybody, i unlock my bootloader (but i dont make backup from TA partition... :banghead: ) and i has root and kk ( via flashtool and ftf from ru). Flashtool work fine, but pc compation no work, i think this is for damage in DRM key...

I hope that a cwm recovery soon...

The theme from ram... I think that the phone no need swap ram from sdcard because the phone has a zram partition from stock rom (4.4.2)

As you all know, E1 is a sony new sweetie!

Found a bug.

Sometimes the Power button is not working anymore. However, when you turn off the phone and push it you can clearly see it is responding, however in Android it is not responding. Software bug? Hardware issue?

EDIT:

For some reason this problem is gone. What the hell?
[Sony Xperia E1] Alyx182008:
I found this same bug on an older phone, with Android 2.3.6 (Motorola xt389). If I tried to lock the screen, or unlock with the power button, it wouldn't work. But if I would take the battery out (to shut it down), then it would boot normally when I would press the power button.

Sometimes, I would press it shortly, and the shut down menu would appear (as if I did a long press).

As in your case, this issue wasn't constant. For me it seemed to happen when the weather was very hot, or humid outside. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not.
[Sony Xperia E1] Farzin-st:
i think it is because of Ram.my walkman key didn't work!but i restart the phone and the problem was gone!!!!!!

[Sony Xperia E1] urmanio23:

Hi thanks for taking time on this device. Mine has an unlockable bootloader, I haven't unlocked it yet but sure I'll try to help you with testing. There is one tiny little thing I'm missing, don't we need a CWM or any other custom recovery to flash new Roms in a safe way? :confused:
[Sony Xperia E1] Farzin-st:
Reza Kashkuli is working on it i guess
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Mine too. The "S" just suddenly disappear(ONY) but now the N really wants to escape. I guess it will disappear shortly too.. Well. Sony, you didn't get that back cover right.

TWRP recovery untested

I maded an twrp recovery with the factory kernel, but I dont want to test it because my bootloader doesn't unlocked.

If someone is brave enought to flash it to the FOTA partition, and have the bootloader unlocked if the device bricked flash again the factory image, we can know if it's working. ;)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-OMCFPQJrmMXZOYlU1X2pGMFU/edit?usp=sharing

Use the folowing command in adb root: dd if=/whereyouplacethefile/twrp_falcon_test.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

The try adb reboot recovery.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
I haven't tested it, however, for some reason, I have a feeling that Sony made the Recovery of this phone totally unavailable, like if you would adb reboot recovery, it would be linked to the normal startup or something. Not sure though.
[Sony Xperia E1] gingsz2:
Yes, but they use the FOTA partition for ota update, its a recovery with kernel and etc, but doesnt have menu like normal recovery and the phone skips it.

So I think if we replace the FOTA partition with twrp, the phone booting it.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
It does boot to recovery but there is no actual function. The recovery need to see a signal from the software somehow for it to actually reach there. The recovery is pretty much has no stock Gui.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Oh I see. I think we should ask some CyanogenMod developers to try to get CM on this thing.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
I was referring to the stock Rom not the one that u made

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Cm won't be that hard because we can use the zte open c for all the files we just need to edit the boot script. That device and ours use all the same components, except that the zte open c runs Firefox os
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
could someone take a look at init.s1.rc becuase it accesses the fotakernel partition.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
For some reason I don't really understand why Samsung provides Stock GUI and actually a "stock recovery" (but CM is still incompatible with these phones LOL), while Sony does not. There's must be a logical answer for this.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It's simply just Sony being a troll.

Here are 2 little bugs I found with KitKat:

1. If you unplug your phone from charging, while the phone is locked, if you don't unlock the phone, the LED light still remains on till you unlock.

2. If you go to Settings and Launchers(not sure if it's called that) and you select the Default Xperia Launcher(you have to switch to a different launcher before doing this), and if you just press the home button to exit the settings(before it automatically does it for you) then you go back to the settings from the recent applications, then go home again and you gonna see a graphical glitch kindof, you will see the launcher as if it would be an application, it will have the name of the launcher on the top too. It's why stock Sony android sucks.

finally flash your kernel, use the command to overwrite the boot partition (wanted to do it the other way that is only temporary but it does not) but the phone all the time remaining on the sony screen and does not boot the system. I've also seen that you need multiple configuration files partition that has the original kernel.

and with fota partition dont work:

Sorry, i used the wrong mkbootimg to create the file, I dont know much about xperia's firmware.

I think about to unlock my e1 to test it and make a good recovery, and if i can get it working im about to start building a Cyanogenmod, I backuped the TA partition so the warranty is safe, though.

Did you manage to upgrade your phone? I'm from Mexico and a Xperia E1 D2004. I upgraded it to kitkat using flashtool and the first time with the Russia FTF file but there is a way to make your own FTF and even recover the original update from your phone carrier (with Android 4.2.2).

Just follow this guide on how to create your own FTF file http://goo.gl/XbJp3p

In the app you can search the phone model (D2004) then your country, phone carrier and then select any of the firmware available. As fas as I know Latin America only has old 4.2.2 for D2004.

Sad to say it but with the Xperia E3 right at the corner I'm afraid our little E1 is going back to the box and right to the first garage sale :rolleyes:

Ok, now I found yet another bug on the phone, in fact 2 new bugs and one is really bad. I'm using Kitkat, generic UK version and now everytime I turnoff and turnon my phone it loops. Sonylogo -> Xperia logo -> blue splash -> crash and Sony logo again. No way to stop it but removing the battery and connect to the PC in order to get a normal boot. That's a really bad bug.

The other issue is when using the phone as an AP and then use ES file explorer to share files between PC or other cellphone on the LAN it reboots (with the previous loop issue too).

Man, I'm starting to regret buying this buggy phone. I might end selling it cheap by the end of the mont.
