Pls pm me next time to avoide spam...

1. what Kind of Rom you using actually?

2. what cwm Version you use?

3. what kernel?

4. do you have root?

If you use old recovery just flash this one and it will work:

Pls do not flash if you already got newest one!

If you got newest cwm pm me with answer in questions above

Alternate way of Installation:

ONLY if you already running any cyanogenmod bootloader unlocked and rooted device...

If you are in pure stock pm me

1. better do a full backup

2. flash latest jellybean Rom with official Sony flashtool (PC)

3. download cm12 beta 5 AND thunderzap 4.11 to your ext SD card

3. flash cwm( link above ) via fastboot (explained in link)

4. reboot to cwm ( vol up when when led appears )

5. wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache. ( for clean install do factory reset... Recommend but not needed )

6. flash cm12 beta 5. ( dont reboot if ready! Do next step instant )

7. flash tz4.11 and complete Installation ( do all default if you dont know ... )

Reboot.... Takes a while.... Finito!

[Sony Xperia L] Arull09:
Hi Varun, can you fix it ??

1. i play game ( ex: GTA,NFS etc ) in this rom, always stuck and i must be removed battery

2. wifi and Hotspot not working in TZ 4.11

3. vidio recording not work and calculator FC

Big Thanks Varun (y)
[Sony Xperia L] oprz_5:
CM12 Beta 5 on stock kernel

The ROM is awesome. Works flawlessly.

There is no more echo in calls(c2105). Still can't adjust volume.

No issues with WiFi.

The toggles no longer behave crazy.

Battery life is definitely better than KitKat.

Slick looking equalizer and good audio quality.

Video recording works with AMR-NB as audio codec.

Using calculator apk from beta 3.

Flashlight toggle still doesn't work. Using an app instead.

Camera image quality is nowhere near the beta3 quality. But camera has issues as already mentioned by varun.

Broken recovery which can be fixed by using boot.img from TZ 4.11.

Bottom line: Lollipop is great and runs great on our L. All thanks to Varun.

There are issues with WiFi. That's the only thing keeping me from using this as a daily driver.

In camera app switch to video mode and tap the settings icon then chose audio codec settings from the list.

Blisspop lollipop rom has these fetures...
[Sony Xperia L] ersyadiaz:
i've found an interface bug in beta 5. i dont know if this was caused by TZ 4.11 which is basically without beta 5 compatibility or CM Theme Engines.

and also, i dont have any other options to add in quick panel settings, is this the lollipop's default?

other than that, the rom works flawlessly. (some people still having the wifi bug, but it's working without any problems with me.)

====================

found another problem, the flashlight toggle is shown in the layout settings but didnt show up in quick settings panel

====================

another problem (i guess?) when i'm playing Brave Frontier, at some point the phone lagged as hell, it even freezes for around 1-2 minutes.

far worse than Beta 4 (sometimes it got laggy too, but only slightly)

thanks for your great work, Varun.
[Sony Xperia L] cascabel:
Hello. First of all, i apologize if i haven't been able to search properly. I tried, but my connection has been very slow and unstable. I did try but i haven't been able to find the answer, considering my limited resources.

I've been trying to make mounts2sd work with beta 5 and latest tz kernel. I always get a bootloop. I'm currently using links2sd with the above configuration. Has anyone been able to make mounts2sd work? And how? I'm not asking to be spoon fed. Just point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Ps.

Hi there.im new to xda.after rooting and unlocking bootloader of my Xperia l,i flashed my stock rom using flashtool but after that my wifi doesnot work.can anyone help me please.
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Well, WiFi is buggy. Varun previously wrote he's working on it. If it doesn't work for you at all be sure you flash it over latest firmware. For me it worked until I left the covered area. Then I had to turn flight mode on and off to get it connected again
[Sony Xperia L] ivneetsingh3:
Thanks for the reply. But my wifi works in all custom roms but not in Stock rom. what should I do because cm12. Beta5 is still buggy.also is there any way(any app/any flashable fix/any toggle) to set network to wcdma mode only i.e. only 3g mode in cm12 because it sets the network mode as preferred type.

Found Bugs.

In my car, i have a bluetooth media player.It's official nissan product and it is working good with other phones.

But with that rom, it is not play music.When i play music in my phone, it is still plays on the phone speakers.Not on car's speakers.

And we cant change the notification toggles.its bad for me.If i can change the toggle it will be good because 2G or 3g changening is important for me.Also the other thing was good in cm11.But cm12 we dont have that setting.. :/

So, ı hope it will be gone..

Awesome work..

First of all, many many thanks to Varun for the super fast development of latest ROM.

It's fast, fluid and awesome. Some of the bugs I encountered are

I) WiFi tethering is not working

ii)Flashlight toggle

iii) Initial graphical glitch on restarting the phone.

iv) Apps can't be moved to internal storage.

v) Call volume distortion

Everything else including camera is just fine. I couldn't donate via Paypal. Is there any alternate method for this. I can send directly to your account if its possible. Send me the bank account details..

Thanks buddy.. We owe you a lot.!!

2. Is there any way to add more items in the quick menu?

Also, how enable "advanced reboot menu" that will show option of reboot into recovery?

Backup first ... Make sure battery over 50%

Install minimal ADB and Fastboot from here

http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal-ADB-and-Fastboot_62500183.html

Do boot.img directly into c:\

Hold vol up on your xperia and connect it to PC ... Wait till blue led appears

Wait for PC to install drivers( if you didnt have )

Open fastboot and write.

fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img

If finish you got cwm :)

For. those who don't know how to flash Philz recovery, here is the easiest method(i think so). First of all download the phiz recovery image for taoshan.place it in the internal storage. Then download and install the app Rashr from playstore. Open the app.first time it will ask you to backup your stock(currently in use) recovery and kernel. Its up to you. Then select the option of flashing kernel image from storage(because philz recovery is flashed as a kernel). Then select the downloaded image file from internal storage.after flashing is done manually reboot( preferred) into your recovery mode and viola.... now you have. Philz recovery.

OK just keep cool for the Moment....

1. have you still root ? Check with rootchecker

2. look into developer options.... Is USB debugging on?

3. if you try go in fastboot mode... What happens?

Check this first then contact me again

[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
OK wie do some trouble shooting.

1. are you using Windows 8? It has trouble with fastboot!

2. try another USB port... Usb3.0 have known issues with fastboot

Also important is the Kind of cable... May try another cable

3. download drivers Form here

http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/

4. download minimal ADB and fastboot (Google it )

Do your boot.img (philz touch taoshan from varun prefered )

Into C:\

Connect device while it is on ... Just connect with USB debugg on ...

Open ADB an fastboot and enter :

adb devices

Is your device shown AS c2015 correctly?

If yes :

adb reboot fastboot

Your device will now go to fastboot mode ...

fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img

Now it should work.
[Sony Xperia L] updatedpie:

Thunderzap is a kernel ...

You cant stay in stock kernel because it is not supporting KitKat... You can if you want to stay in cm12 "stock" kernel ... But then you loose recovery because it is Brocken ATM
