The steps are just a summary. See the link for more details.

re: your questions:

1) not sure why this is happening, everytime you power on you end up in the new simple recovery, right? If you end up in CWM you're using the wrong kernel. You might try to clear the cache partition, I think that may contain a flag to boot into recovery (without having to press a key during boot), maybe that is used by simple recovery too.

2) I choose No, I think CM has a built-in root function.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] uchielzz:
Reboot CWM

I'm so sorry, I mean I keep reboot into CWM mode, not simple recovery

And I'm sure that I was installed the right kernel

for the first is CM11 kernel that provided in the thread, and finally after flash the CM12 kernel inside zip

or I was wrong when I wipe partition?

I did wipe same as usual as long as I use android

is that any differences?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Men_in_black007:
This is the second reason why mike is not releasing lollipop. There are many noob who will stuck up. So its my opinion you should wait for mike.

Sry for being rude.

need cm11 kernel

BRO Can you give me modified cm11 kernel anzu...i really cant do it...please give it to me...i want to have LX cm12 20141223
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RupamRane:
You need cm 11 kernel for flashing lollipop..?? :eek:

Are you nuts..!!?? Flash the kernel provided..

Guys do you want to close down this thread too..??!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Men_in_black007:
I Am Telling You All Again And Again.

Those Who Have Flashed LP Its Gud. Those Who Dont Have Knowledge Please Wait For Mike. I Know You Will All End Up With Boootlooops.

So Its Gud You Should Remain On KK :)

BRO people say you need cm11 kernel with all memory dedicated to system...but i managed to install ubuntu...i foolowed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477845 ...but i have this problem : boot.img-ramdisk.gz: not in gzip format...and yes i know... i could try with izma...but same error....so i asked you to give me cm11 kernel for Xperia Arc S (anzu)

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Sorry...Men_in_black007....but i don`t care about bootloop...i can flash stock ftf and i1m done...I want LP for 2 reasons:

1) KK is the worst android version ever done...even with Dark Raven`s kernel with OC....i was browsing internet with 1.8 Ghz and it was laggy

2) i had LP alpha 7 20141125 and it did not require cm11 modified kernel...and i was surprised with it but i could not call anybody or use 3G connection....and in alpha 8 those things were fixed :D:D

And BTW if I joined yesterday that does not mean i`m new....I have been changing roms since August...and i had more bootloops than my fingers..:D:D:D

Idiot when use Dark kernel for latest cm11. Please don't spam and blame noob. This thread for cm12. If you aren't patient let go out
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mafia1555:
I just gave an example with Dark kernel...I use cm 11 20141224...kernel right now...but I just want FU*KING cm 11 kernel with custom memory....Can you help me or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
1) Our devices ship with gingerbread and you complain about laggy browser on kitkat. "omg kitkat lags it's the worst version ever" you should be thankful we still get the latest treat for a 3-years old device.

2) Good for you.

If you want a modified kernel then learn to build yourself. If you can't then wait.

P.S: I've been changing roms since like 2010, what does that make me? An average user :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mafia1555:
Yes it does make you...but when building it I have an gz error...that's why I ask for help...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zweif:
I'd like to test this rom on my mango. The only thing preventing me is cm11 bootimage with new partition layout needed to format internal storage. I picked the two commits altering kernel cmdline, but do I need additional changes, e.g. fstab or recovery.fstab? I'd build it from cm11 sources using 'make bootimage'. (It should be possible to use it to run cm11 with this new partition layout?)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] erikrecca:
This device is from 2011. You can't expect it speed like newer device. Shut up! All people here feel unconvinient because of you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
Joined Dec 2014 and only 4 posts, asking for something that you should not, in such a rude way.

Even if there was a chance that someone would help you, it's gone forever now.

For everyone:

The source is there on github open for everyone, noob guides on how to build are all over xda (I even wrote some for the 2011 xperias)

If you don't know how to do it, don't mess with it because you will likely come back complaining again when you notice the tons of issues that are present.

You think that lollipop is working so perfectly and we keep it a secret? If it was meeting my quality standards I would have already released some builds on xda.

Happy new year and don't waste the developers' time, they could be fixing some things instead of answering useless posts on xda.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Torsionick:
Hello. Yeah, I am "noob", and will not compain about "where is the stable lollipop?! >_<"

I just wanna know: will it (does it) support RAW photo and "trully manual" focus distance, implemented in camera2 API? Via any available camera app.

If it does right now, can someone PM me Neo V build with cm11-custom-partition kernel, because I can't build it myself having 24kB/s and 3gb/month limited phone internet. I know it not for everyday use, and this is not required.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
I have a suggestion OR query.

We know that "write" on SD card is precious i.e. SD card have write limit.

Putting /data on SD card means there will be frequent writes on SD card.

How about putting /system on SD card instead?

And allocating full internal storage to /data?

Since /system is not written too frequently it will increase SD card life.

We will have smaller /data partition but I suppose 1GB is still enough for more users.

Just a suggestion.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
I don't have the knowledge to comment on why this would or wouldn't be possible, but I think the idea sounds good for another reason. Limiting wear on the microSD card is not so much an issue I think, these cards incorporate low-level wear-levelling and are cheap to replace anyway).

A positive side could be a speed benefit (e.g. responsiveness, less lag) to using internal storage instead of SD for /data, mainly for writing and random I/O.

A disadvantage could be that a damaged or removed SD card would render the phone unbootable and completely unusable until restored.

(On a side note: the currect CM12 partitioning scheme in [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] 's LX12 branch is slightly different than a month ago: instead of 2 there are now 3 MTD partitions again, /cache was shrunken from 8MB to only 4MB, and there's a new, small userdata partition of 4MB, /system remains the same size (about 900MB). I don't know the reason, it might be just temporary or experimental e.g. to maintain the original numbering of partitions.)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
That statement remains true if /data is on SD card. So thats not really disadvantage.

Plus it will be easy to backup /system as it wont change even a single bit till you re-flash ROM.

If /data is on SD card and SD card has a damage there is chance to lose lots of data. You may be taking regular backup of /data but you will definitely lose data (like SMS, unsynced contacts, phone logs etc.)

But if /system is on SD card, you will NOT lose any data (even if you dont have backup) because you always have a copy in flash ZIP
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
I assumed that the phone was still bootable with only /system (but no /data) so you could at least use system apps (like dialer ;) but /data is probably needed to boot too.

Anyway like I said, I think your idea is interesting and I'm curious whether Mike and other devs think it's feasible and if so, if it would indeed provide advantages.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
Umm, if there is no /data then there is no dalvik-cache OR ART. So it wont boot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
IMO SD card wear is not that an issue as everyone worried. In theory yes, frequent read/write will wear the SD card. But in reality, I (and supposedly many other) have used /data in SD card without any problem for years. Furthermore, users can tweak their desired size of /data instead of a mere 900mb. Believe me, with ART and app size nowadays you would fill those space quickly.

Just my 2 cents ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
An advantage to amishxda's suggestion might be responsiveness/speed, but I must say that my current homebuilt LX12 of 20150104 feels pretty close to LX11 in smoothness already. It's got /data on a F2FS partition on SD in combination with row I/O scheduler. In addition I use a pretty mediocre class 6 card, so there's room for further improvement.

With an older LX12 build I did a quick test with Google Maps, and when panning the map, it had about half the framerate of Maps on LX11. With the current LX12 build they're on a par. Not scientfically tested, there may have been other factors involved, just an illustration that IMO the LX12 user experience with the current LX12 partition configuration is not hopeless at all!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Micha_Btz:
i have build it yesterday for my mango. looks good, but i don't think it will be as fast as cm11.

Sorry if i said anything wrong here
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Marchinho6:
In the last build 24, There isn't a major issue but there are many little bug: video rec at 720p not work, little issue are snooze, hotspot make reboot and not work sometimes, wifi work so-so but the speed decrease immediately after download 2-3mb(i dont know the max speed achievable), there is a small delay when you open the dialer to call, now shows the screen as soon begins to ring, preventing a call to close the match involuntarily.

Considering that are in alpha stage, its very stable and I use everyday in my first phone. Performance are amazing because there are more free RAM. More smooth and battery friendly than cm11. I love it :cool:

How to fix root bro? I installed cm12 but Root not work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DiamondJohn:
You are thinking of extending the life of a replaceable and getting cheaper all the time, SD card. I would rather replace my SD card than the whole phone. Also, I (and many others here) have been using the SD card for the /data partition for more than a year, with numerous flashes and rebuilds and re-installs, and my card is still working. I actually have a Sandisk 64GB Ultra with a lifetime warranty. If it dies, I get it replaced under warranty.:) My phone internal has no such warranty. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Marchinho6:
Go to setting and info device, tick n time on number of build to access at developer option and set root do you want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amishxda:
Well if phone internal storage goes, then you can not do anything anyway in anycase. Unless you know expert engineer who can replace it without replacing full motherboard. So we have to assume phone internal storage will not go bad as easily as SD card.

I would like to be careful that SD card last longer because I keep lots of data in it (photos/documents etc). May be for some users it lasts long but there is no guarantee.

And its not about money, its about making sure that there is no data loss. You can buy new SD card cheaply but you can not recover costly data / information easily. You can take backup but its not easy to take backups everyday. Any other solution (like cloud storage) costs extra and consumes your internet plan.

In short if your SD card has important regularly updated data you try to make sure that "writes" are reduced.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Souroking:
Bro if your data sd card are the most important to you then use stock xperia ics rom. Cyanogen and all other devs dont take any resposibility of anything that happens to your phone data or sdcard. And moreover this is cm12 its not a piece of cake to run a latest OS on a 4year old device. So let the devs decide whats best.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
It's a known issue: Mike says it needs RIL code changes to work.

[MENTION=5012305]ƒεηιx[/MENTION] claims he got it working by adding a build.prop string (ro.telephony.ril.config=fakeiccid). It didn't work for me, and I didn't find a reference in the LX12 sourcecode why that would work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mardon:
The fakeiccid build.prop Entry needs also some cherry picks to work. So the Rom needs to be build with the cherrypick and then the fakeiccid Entry works and you can make outgoing calls

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Petruni:
I have the same behavior. Kernel from 11.1. is fine. Mike submitted few commits to his android_kernel_semc_msm7x30. Seems some of them caused it. You will be fine with previous version of the file "device-semc_mogami.c".

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Petruni:
Unfortunately I didn't have time to build it one by one. So for the test I did only step back and used the file version before changes made on 12.1.

i have 2nd partition

and after that i downloaded recurssion rom and used its boot.img and the device booted up very well

what would be the problem...???

and bro...can you pm me your updates.sh file...???

i want to see which cherry picks you use for that fakeuccid
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rrreutel:
I did a 20150114 build and I think the boot problem (blank screen) is fixed by a commit yesterday from Mike, I can boot without problem or reverting to older versions now.

Here's the steps I took to enable outgoing calls:

edit updates.sh to include these two cherry picks:

# fakeiccid (package opt/telephony)
cherries+=(79834)

# fakeiccid (package services/telephony)
cherries+=(79835)

These changes have status:abandonned in Gerrit, but I just verified that they work for outgoing calls on my Urushi.

Make sure you include this build.prop entry (otherwise the cherry picks won't have effect)

ro.telephony.ril.config=fakeiccid

I make sure this line gets included in build.prop with every build by putting the entry in ./device/semc/msm7x30-common/msm7x30.mk

But manual editing of build.prop on your device should work too.

BTW I spent some time locating these Cherrypicks, would've been really kind if [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5226068]Men_in_black007[/MENTION] would have just mentioned them in the first place as I and someone else kindly requested earlier.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Th3 Ant:
Hi everyone

I've tried to flash lastest Resurrection Remix (cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.2.9-20150115-coconut.zip) on my coconut device but it hangs on Encryption unsuccessful message.

I've tried full wipe, formatting everything, tried flashing through CMRecovery, CWM Recovery (from KK an then flashing boot.img from zip) but nothing worked.

Once I had this while flashing zip:

failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 at /data: No such file or directory
unmount of /data failed; no such volume

Currently I'm on PACman Rom which is build on KK.

Can anyone make steps how to flash Resurrection Remix LP or help me with resolving these problems?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] L3RAT:
I haven't used particularly Resurrection Remix since I don't have coconut, but on Mardon's CM12 for anzu there was special kernel made separately for formatting/flashing stuff. CMRecovery isn't fully functional yet (thats the main reason for absence of Mike's builds) and AFAIC formatting isn't working by now, so you need another kernel (usually CM11) to do it -> keep in mind, that CM12 needs new partition layout, so you can't use any CM11 you find. If there is no such a kernel in Resurrection Remix thread, you should compile one for yourself before flashing ;)

P.S. Don't worry about that info about problem with mounting ext. partition as /data. In my case I had the same error, but installation finished and after flashing CM12 kernel it all worked well :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Th3 Ant:
OK then. So can I use Legacy Xperia's kernel from cm11 or another from RR KitKat build? Otherwise I'll wait for working build cause I can't compile :P

Or maybe you have such kernel for coconut?
