Your wifi wont work if you flash tz 4.11 over cyanogen recovery...Cyanogen recovery is buggy but atleast supports wifi but not perfectly although..after flashing tz 4.11 my wifi dint work so i had to revert back to cyanogen recovery to get my wifi working

I've forgotten to flash tz4.11 nd this cyanogenmod recovery is not working for wiping data and flashing other roms. also whatsapp and youtube are not working over mobile data while others are.

Philz Recovery

hi,

I just got installed with the Beta 4 ROM, its working smooth as of now !!

one surprise i found today is that i had used Philz recovery to install this ROM, however, post installation of the ROM, when i want to access recovery, I am only able to get the CM12 recovery only. i am unable to uncerstand where the Philz recovery got disappeared. Please suggest.

Note : for accessing Recovery option, I am holding Volume UP during powering ON of C2104.

My wifi also won't connect when I leave my router range but instead of rebooting your device you can simply enable airplane mod wait few seconds and then disable it. Then my wifi connects again.

And thanks varun for your awesomeness

[Sony Xperia L] krrish56:
Its connecting over wifi but when i try the same on mobile data it does not even respond. i waited for a long time hoping it is some kind of delay but at the end it shows "unable to connect, reboot if connection problem persists" just as if i did it without turning on data.

it is unable to fetch connection over mobile data as far as i understood.

is there a way i can revert to cm11 or atleast reinstall the same rom again.....i was not able to do that either on cyanogen recovery....my mistake i forgot flashing tz4.11

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Use the fastboot mode of flashtool to flash the thunderzap kernel. You can extract bootlp.img from the zip file.

Failed to install

I just tried to install the new Beta 4 and it didn't go very well...

Here's what I did:

1 - turn off phone

2 - turn on in fastboot mode

3 - extract "boot.img" from zip and flahs that with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

4 - reboot with "flashboot reboot"

5 - enter into recovery on boot (this included having to pull the battery because it was hanging for very long) - the new recovery looks great, by the way

6 - factory reset

7 - wipe cache

8 - update from zip (with still compressed zip)

Here I get a weird error. I says failed to install and something like "this rom was made for C2105, C2104, ... devices. This device is "

It seems the device name is missing...

I reflashed the stock firmware and am waitting for suggestions to get this to work.
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
The solution is in the 2nd post above yours. (Use another recovery like the one that comes with thunderzap.)
[Sony Xperia L] Zed686:
After clean install from latest stock, and installing kernel by the flashtool, i still have wifi bug :/
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
OK. I thought that was specifically for the wifi issue.

I used the one from TZ 4.11 and it worked.

However, I can-t get any audio through Bluetooth.
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Unfortunately it's still experimental. I only have wired headsets so I don't know much about it, but someone wrote that it worked for him. Not perfectly thru.
[Sony Xperia L] MrBaker:
Let's hope the next Beta fixes that and other issues that Varum is tracking down. :)

Until them, I'm back to stock.

[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
Hi,

First download Thunderzap 4.11 kernel.

Extract it to your PC and flash boot.img in fastboot.

then you'll have new recovery and you can flash it.

Older recovery for jb doesn't support SElinux based ROM, that's why it gives error saying its not compatible.

Install Process

Can someone please describe the steps for installing the BETA 4 without losing the apps, configs and stuff?

Is there any relation with the "recovery" that some dudes are complaining to be not working?
[Sony Xperia L] mishra.h:
great work.. few bugs found..

this is another awesome upgrade (beta 4) but the wifi issue still remains.. few apps not movable to sd storage..

everytime i move out of wifi range, it still shows connected and thus doesn't switches to normal data, have to do it manually..

calculator is not working.. force closes..

this update is far better than before becz it now supports chrome.. :) camera is working fine.. and more games are running than before.. overall a decent rom for daily use.. really appreciate your work.. thanks a lot bro..

expecting more updates soon.. try polishing the rom.. it has amazing scope.. super stable.. no battery issues, no call issues, all basic functions are going good.. and rom is more smooth..

[Sony Xperia L] santi1993:
Hi, anyone knows which firmware is using varun? cause if he said that wifi is fixed it's maybe a problem related with our firmware-side binaries, it will be a lot better to know what is varun firmware!

And did anyone have changed the partition size of sd0 data? Cause someday ago i had read about a tutorial for Xperia T/TL and many users reported flawless, but i don't only miss the link, i already did not see anyone making this or reporting these mods here and i don't want to be the one with the eMMC bricked :P

Fixable bugs:

Internal memory for applications lacks with only a few apps installed, it is easy to mod for who know how can do it, but there's no any official guide for noob users, there's only some guides for Xperia T and some mods (Like link2sd) that are buggy and laggy

Video recording, change audio from AAC to another option

Calculator, change calculator.apk from beta 3, here's the link on page 119 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58139112&postcount=1181)

Vibration bug, some users reported that changing vibration slider will recovery vibration

For now most users report these bugs that are atleast unfixable for us:

Whatsapp can't send audio over Standard mic (Maybe for the echo fixes?) but they can over Handsfree mic, so it's maybe a misunderstanding between whatsapp, is it possible to ONLY achieve the mic fixes to in-call application and let other application use standard one? I mean tansport the fixes in a variable inside the call modules and not to the whole system, it's only a idea if the bug is the echo fixings

Wi-Fi desconnection issue

Screening freezing the phone and make it unstable

USB Tethering, some users reported that is broken, to be confirmed.

For now i can tell is there maybe problems with camera hal and audio hal in some circunstances, but when these bugs are mostly carried from cm11 and varun is improving some experimentation with these builds, thanks varun for all, without you this rom will not exist.

Sorry my english and hope this will be useful for someone
[Sony Xperia L] v.i.p21:
hey guys these are the some problems i am facing after flashing beta 4

internal memory is very less so very little apps can be used

CM recovery is buggy so i flashed tz.4.11 custom recovery and now wifi isn't working

whenever i reboot, the phone freezes for a few seconds

when in call the sound is very low, cant hear sometimes

other than this the rom is awesome, super smooth, loads of thanx to Mr. Varun

guys please let me know if this is just me or anything , any solutions! thnx in advance.

Ok ill keep it in brief.

[Sony Xperia L] AdiGurjar:
Can anyone mention the Pros and Cons of this BETA? I am currently on Blisspop v1.7 and i am willing to flash this, so please tell me how BETA 4 performs...
[Sony Xperia L] hhrokarvi:
As a person who has used both of these ROM's BlissPOP is more stable (according to my usage) and it offers more customization than Varun's ROM. Varun has done tremendous work on XL no doubt, but I think that BlissPOP is more daily-driver worthy!!

Question About Version CWM To Install This ROM

What CWM version to install this ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] luckyruls:
Beta 4 better than Beta 3

First of all, Thanks to Varun for this awesome update.

Installed it with a breeze. Beta 4 is more stable than the beta 3 but it still needs improvement.

I had only 1 major problem, my wifi is not working at all. So here is how I installed the update, First I flash thunderzap 4.11 kernel, then the ROM (restarted the phone and the wifi works fine), and then again I flashed thunderzap 4.11 for the recovery. After that the Wifi does not turn On at all. Mobile data is working fine. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Best wishes.

EDIT: I re-flashed the ROM and now the wifi problem has been solved!

The exclamation mark just indicates that your phone isn't connected to the internet. If you enable mobile data or wifi, any one of those or even both, it will disappear.
[Sony Xperia L] KNJr.:
When it comes to upgrading from BETA 3 to BETA 4, do I still have to do a FULL CLEAN wipe or can I just flash the updated zip via recovery mode (since its basically the same ROM but just upgraded); I don't want to have to go through the hassle of reinstalling/restoring apps and data again........??

Feedback On CM12 Taoshan( 12 Jan '15 Update)

Excellent Work!!!

It works fine and smooth but there is one major problem if you can see into it. It is not connecting to the WiFi I made from my laptop using Connectify. It just says "saved" and does not connect although the connectify shows notification on my PC that the device is connected for 5 sec or so. I have not tested any other WiFi's yet. Please look into it and correct it in future updates.

Beta 5

Beta 5 is really going well without any issues for me. Some suggestions below

1. Not able to change the temperature unit from f to C. in quick settings

2. Suggestion : When we close all the recent apps by single tab, everything goes off immediately. But it would be better if it disappears one by one fastly (Just for Human factor)

3. In camera i dont know whether auto scene selection work or not. Nothing is shwon in the camera.

You are rocking varun. Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Flash the Beta 5 boot.img through fastboot and then fast reboot. 1st time it wil bootloop. remove battery and restart again. you will get the philz CWM. then u can flash. Hit thanks if i helped :)

A Small Bug

I was on CM12 beta 4 with Thunderzap 4.11

Its was one of the best rom out there from our beloved xperia L. Everything works fine even the cast screen. it was flawless. I just keep on feeling in love with this rom. But most of all I love the Battery. Very Less drain.

Bug report:

1. Yes the wifi icon and data icon has a (!) mark and was not connecting sometime.

what i did was just when into airplane mode and then after few second come out an everything works. I didnt had to reboot.

2. On composing a new SMS. When I was about to type the contact which was already stored in People. The screen flicker...like a graphic glitch.

For Eg; if i have rabbit stored as a contact in people and want to send a text message to him and if i just type 'R' the screen start to flicker.

Sorry I didnt get to save a logcat. But did record a small video (http://youtu.be/cgnnqUKPKtg)

But now im on Beta 5.

I havent still encounter the ! mark on the wifi and data icon

But the Flicker on the text message is still there. (attaching Logcat) (First time im doing time. Hope i did it in the right way)

Will review and report any bugs in the next few day after testing.

Cheers to Varun and his team and everyone involved..Thank you so much.

Charging when battery is drained completly

Whenever battery is drained completely, phone is not getting powered on immediately after putting charge. Even though it is 20 % charged, still not starting. Then unplugging power cord, removing battery, then it starts normally. Is this expected? i am on Beta 5 Tz4.11

Wifi not working

Wifi is unable to connect to anything...I see: "connecting" then it stops.

I went from beta 4 (TZ4.11) to beta 5 (CM kernel)

I formatted /cache, wiped dalvik/ART and flashed the rom (not gapps)

Is a clean install necessary or is this a bug ?

You are finding CM Recovery because, the boot.img bundled in the ROM zip has CM Recovery and gets flashed during installation of ROM, you need to reflash TZ in order to get Philz back.

Questions

Hi, I would like to flash CM12 Beta 5 but I have some questions.

1. Can I go Jellybean 4.2 to Lollipop or do I have to go from Kitkat and then Lollipop?

2. Is the WiFi fully working on CM12 Beta 5? I really need it since I'm using my Xperia L as a daily driver.

3. Can anyone please tell me what are the bugs on Beta 5? Since as I said, I'm using this phone as a daily driver and I need to know the bugs because it might be something bad for me.

That's all the questions I want to ask, I'm really excited to flash CM12 since it looks awesome :D
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
Hi,

1. Yes. (Hope you know procedure.)

2. Yes, for some it works. Remember to flash it over 15.3.A.1.17 fw (Mostly .12 or later)

3. Bugs are same as kitkat.

list: In call volume not adjustable, Camera quality not as stock, Screen scanning effect (Only once when u restart).

You can use it as a daily driver. Wifi works for me fine. It takes some time to connect but other than that fine.
[Sony Xperia L] Avolyte:

can someone please tell me how to fix the time issue.time on the status bar doesnt change.it stays the same
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Hi again, thanks for answering my questions, I just want to clear out some things.

1. So its safe to go from JB 4.2 to Lollipop 5.0? Because I remember reading somewhere that it will cause some bugs or not work at all since its a pretty big "jump" of versions. If it is safe though, It will be very helpful.

Also if I remember correctly, the procedure is flash boot.img using fastboot, flash rom zip using recovery, flash gapps, and reboot, is that right?

Thanks again for answering :)
