Hi i would like to ask i'm using this rom with KMA kernel and it seems to be going very well the only think is not working is OTG is this supported ? when i connect a mouse or a usb stick nothing happens. Do i need a external apk or something to make it work?

Carbon sources updated

i tried to compile with lightning's kernel but unsuccessfully as its not same blobs used. So i keep my build as it is cuz its works perfect, feel free to flash his kernel on top of carbon but indeed u loose ota updates till u reflash another kernel wich contains TWRP, as its needed by Open Delta.

Hi, thanks for the update(will hit the button later as I have got the limit for 8 thanks :p). Feeling curious, why don't you update the download link in op? :confused:

Some might not be able to find the link and thus downloaded the older builds from the old download link haha.

Help

Everytime I flash this rom my recovery doesn't open everything else is GREAT... It gets stuck in a black screen after the colour of led changes.. Am I doing anything wrong..? Please help. I really love this rom. Its the best..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
simply fastboot flash previous working boot.img over this build to get working recovery

its cm sources issue

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
Thats another issue of mine... I can't use "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" command. Says remote command failed. I tried to use "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the recovery works, but the OS stops at Carbon logo loading screen... Is there anyway I can replace a recovery that works for me and is compatible with Carbon into the rom zip file.??
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
why don't u use flashtool to fastboot flash kernel then ???

any kernel cm based (not omni , not pac or whatever...cm carbon etc etc) will work thats for sure.
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
you need to download the ADB files: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=TFQ

- extract it to maybe C:\

- then inside this carbon rom.zip, extract the boot.img and place it inside that folder in C:\

- after that in that folder press SHIFT + right click, you should see a "open command window here", click that

- switch off your phone, connect it to bootloader mode (with the blue light)

- plug in your phone, then type "fastboot devices"

- IT SHOULD HAVE something like "list of connected devices" or something and it will be ABC123 (something like that)

- IF its empty then you're doing something wrong

- after that just type in the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

- then you should have carbon rom's recovery zip (but pls ensure you've unlocked your bootloader to do this)
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
hey.. i'm new to all this, but I am not stupid.. i do all these. perfectly.. but for some reason fastboot flash recovery doesnt work but fastboot flash boot works... i was able to write to recovery only once after unlocking the bootloader after that i cant anymore.. tried unlocking again, with success but still cant write to recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
nobody said you were stupid. certainly wasnt my post too.. i was just providing a guide just in case you missed something.

and for other people if the stumble upon this issue as well.

so does using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" works for you? do you have TWRP recovery now with your data intact?
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
i was just kidding abt that stupid thing. no offence.

ya "fastboot flash boot" works... But I got boot.img frm CM10.2 rom.zip I had and flashed it.. So CWM recovery worked, but on normal startup, it got stuck on the Carbon logo... So I had to reflash everything.. So does flashing to boot corrupt the OS installation...? I cant flash to recovery, it says Remote:Command not allowed..

So I have to flash to boot only.

And abt the software update, I can't do it. It downloads, but can't install as the recovery doesn't work. So it reboots to recovery(I'm telling this frm the colour of led) and gets stuck in a black screen. So I downloaded the whole rom. flashed cwm to boot. And did fresh install of the new ROM.

Why did it get stuck after I flashed the CWM to boot..? Recovery worked but the OS failed to open...

The boot.img file that we have in rom.zips, they are Recovery right? Plz correct me if I'm wrong and plz do explain. I've a lot to learn.

Can you give a download link to recovery that'll work with Xperia Z with Carbon ROM.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Bro, the recovery is broken on last builds, the 2 last ones i guess...there's a f*uck with twrp, i will revert some commits

the recovery is implemented to the kernel by compilation but its a complete separate source

u can fastboot flash a kernel wich is working but recovery broken as u have now on last builds but if u use a cm 10.2 boot.img for sure os will bootlooping as its not compatible

Well, actually if u fastboot flash it only in order to get a working recovery , it could make the trick...but u better tu use a cm11 recovery to flash rom, and once latest build is flashed, becuz rom's zip contains the kernel with broken recovery , u will have to flash another boot.img (different than last ones) again over final installation of the rom, in order to get a working recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
lol no worries, i wasnt feeling anything. :silly:

not sure i am not on carbon at the moment, but will be using it again pretty soon.

getting bored of stock now.

i think there's a difference if you use "fastboot flash boot" and "fastboot flash recovery". :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
i see... can you point me towards a working recovery.. a compatible one.. i am gonna try to replace it in the zip and flash..

and why doesnt fastboot flash recovery command not work? is this only fr my device? i did root, unlock and install recovery in a friends device and its all the same wid his device. i had unlocked and installed dual recovery, that was the first time and the last time the fastboot flash recovery had worked. where did i go wrong...?
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
eh? but i thought you had it working with the guide i provided?

if i've misunderstood.. have you tried flashing lighting or KMA kernel? it might work for you. :)

okay just re-read your problem. i missed that you've also tried the same thing.

anyway did you try to give it a full wipe?
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
everything works.. I can do what I want to do, but.... I can't flash to recovery... I can only flash to boot...

ya i did a full wipe
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
meaning to say the phone doesnt have recovery? okay this is weird.

but as OP said, the past few builds have issues. so lets just wait for the new build :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
ya.. the recovery of this rom doesn't work..

If I flash a recovery using fastboot flash boot command then it gets stuck at the os loading screen...
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
okay then i guess you just have to use another rom while the dev updates this. since few posts back he stated that there's something wrong and he'll try to fix it in the next version.

should be affecting everyone else using the latest version too and not just you (if thats the case)
[Xperia Z Android Development] hx4o5z:
nah.. This ROM is great.. I'll keep using this. I can go without a recovery... the OS works perfectly.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
I told u guyz what to do while im fixing that twrp...once the very latest build is flashed, fastboot flash any previous working boot.img, or even lightning's kernel will be fine as it has twrp in it...
[Xperia Z Android Development] bloodyprince:
This ROM is blazing fast and very good for multitasking , gaming and obviously every day use. Specially I like double touch 2 wake. Thanks DEV. But I have found a problem/bug. VPN softs doesn't work. I tried Hotspot Shield, HideNinja etc. They successfully connected with VPN server but after that I can't browser anything. It shows connection time out problem. Please fix this. However, PPTP vpn works perfectly though. Thanks again :)

Edit: glitches while playing music and videos.. Did you noticed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
Nope i didn't flash carbon since a while, i have some screen flickering on aicp so maybe its related...from CM

OTA update in my rom is as all other rom with ota bro; i took off carbon delta to switch for open delta, but users only have to check for update...nothing else

[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:

but as im damn busy these dayz....i have no time yet to update it, doesn't really matter as everybody is waiting for lollipop right?

so let repos make their way...and maybe next update will be based cm12.0

All the devs working like crazy...it won't take too long =)

carbon is already as stable as it is. haha
[Xperia Z Android Development] aaurnab:
Have ever feel the sound glitches when playing video in youtube or player or playing music..... I think it is kernel Bug for me

Please share kernel link for this ROM
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
look into original development u will find lightning kernel etc etc....then decrease or increase lowest cpu frequency level it should make the trick
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
not really as i dont usually play medias without my headset.

so i cant really tell (plus im not on carbon at the moment, but i really like this rom if compared to every other CM based roms out there :) )
[Xperia Z Android Development] aaurnab:
Well thanks... I guess it was CPU probelm
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dagcon:
Can you please share the fix, I am having the same issue with my Power amp and media player, i like the ROM but that sound is annoying...

Plz share the fix, Lightning Kernel which I unable to found... My dumbness :P
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
its a KK bug, and u are on LP simply higher low cpu frequency to 400 somthing instaed of 300 something.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dagcon:
Dude,

In hurry I flashed the Lightning Kernel by CWM in the Carbon rom, now the phone is completely dead, not even the sony logo coming up. So do I have to start from the sony stock kerenel then root then .283 then upload the Carbon again or I can directly flash Carbon? I can't even go to CWM / TWRP now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Artyomska:
If nothing works, i think you just hardbricked your phone. Try charging it and look if the red light is there. If it isn't and absolutely nothing works, the phone is dead.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dagcon:
After your suggestion I put it into charged and yes the Red Light is on. Can you tell me what to do next shall I flash stock sony ftf or is there any process to directly flash Carbon ROM ?

What should I do next to make it work ? Plz Suggest
[Xperia Z Android Development] Artyomska:
I recommend to keep your phone connected to the charger for one hour, so you have enough battery to flash. In the meantime, look if you have flashtool on your PC and the Xperia Z (or ZL?) drivers (if you not, you can find the drivers on the Sony site). After you removed your phone from the charger and you installed the drivers, be sure your phone is completely closed. Download a stock unrooted ROM (ftf file) from the general section and prepare to flash using flashtool( if you don't know how the flashtool thread explains that, or ask me). Unfortunately, you will lose all your data.

EDIT: If you have a Xperia ZL flash ROMs and kernels made exactly for that device, even if they have the same internals.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dagcon:
Thanks dude, I flashed stock 4.4.4 for ZL...

You got a thanks from me... I will be on Carbon as soon the battery got charged. Just tell me a fix or app to fix Poweramp or music player glitch.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Artyomska:
You should be able to increase the minimum frequency from 300mhz to 400mhz without lightning kernel using Trickster Mode. This is the only fix it seems. But if you want to flash lightning kernel again respect the instructions nikhil18 wrote in the thread (flash boot.img from fastboot, then flash the archive in recovery).
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dagcon:
Having 2 Glitches need help

Hi fellas,

After using this rom near about 2 months continuously I found 2 strange thing happening with the device.

1> Mobile DATA getting turned on some times after locking the screen (it is not happening always, but sometimes, and when it happens, every time I lock the screen and go to settings to check it gets turned on after unlocking the device)

2> Philz Dual recovery getting crashed / unable to get into it just a blank screen, so i have to re-install philz everytime to get into it.

Please help needed asap...

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
Ahhh that looks great! I will give it a try over the weekend.

Anyway, have you considered to implement "battery icon lanscape"?

Just thought it would make a great battery theming feature since the official sony 4.4.2 is now changed to landscape

Look more into it from the CM11 rom if you're interested to add it in. :).

Thank you.
