Using Flashtool. First I tried in Fastboot mode, and it said the device isn't rooted. Then, I tried in Flashmode, but Flashtool couldn't find the kernel file, since it's in img extension.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

Maybe you try this way:

Download Fastboot tool with drivers, then copy boot.img from here http://d-h.st/x3CN to the root of Fastboot folder. Turn off the phone, connect to PC with vol+ button pressed (led light must be blue if drivers installed correctly). Then open Fastboot folder in Total Commander (the easiest way for me). In there press shift and mouse right button and choose "Open command window". In command window type "fastboot flash boot boot.img + enter. That's it. After flashing a boot.img you can continue with the steps on flashing the rom (Enter TWRP, wipe everything but sdcard, unmount everything but sdcard and flash the rom).

Re

Maybe your bootloader not unlocked and due to that you can't flash custom kernel. Can you check whether your bootloader unlocked or not?

If not unlocked you can use official instructions on how to unlock the bootloader from here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ or to try unofficial way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185802

http://www.kingoapp.com/sony-bootloader-unlock.htm
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RovanneRB:
Yeah, it's still locked, my bad. I thought that it was already unlocked. Looks like I lost a day going anywhere because of a basic mistake. lol

Anyway, the Sony Bootloader Unlock(Kingo) didn't work. The official Sony site is now a bit different than it was when the tutorials were written, and looks like it doesn't support Xperia S anymore, just SL. Could I try using an SL key from the site?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Don't use any other method to unlock the phone, use the official SOny one only. And Xperia S=Xperia SL.

Slow charging...

I am on build19 and the phone charges so slow even with a good power adapter (1amp). enabling or disabling usb fast charge doesn't have any effect. It takes almost 3.5 hour to fully charge the mobile (2g with internet off). Normally it took 1 to 1.5 hour to fully charge it.

Re

Have you succeed in unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and installing Lollipop Rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RovanneRB:
It finally worked. I did the bootloader unlock through the official way. The TWRP only worked using the first method of "[CWM-TWRP]Xperia S Dual Recovery for locked/unlocked bootloaders" tutorial(I still don't have enough posts to put the link), which seems to be the easier, by the way. After that, everything went just fine.

Thanks for helping!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RovanneRB:
Ok, now I have a problem. The rom worked fine all day, but now the internal storage is not recognized on the system. I can see all the files on sdcard through TWRP, but not on the root manager, neither on Windows.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

As for me, I've never had such probs and maybe the others know the solution. But did you unmount everything except sdcard and wipe everything except sdcard prior to flashing the Rom? Usually I perform these steps and everything goes fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RovanneRB:
Yes, I did this way. I came back to recovery several times to test mounting/unmounting the sdcard and see if it works, but I could see all the files in sd without a problem through recovery, it just doesn't mount in the system. I've made some search, and some other people had the same problem with this rom. Some of them succeeded to mount it again through terminal, but I tried and it doesn't work.

I've just flashed the original JB kernel and it's working all normal. I'll test nAOSP again when I have some free time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

I don't know, some people say in such cases they formated sdcard too and then copied back Rom files from PC through recovery and flashed the Rom again.

I have had the same problem in the past. Every couple of days, the sdcard used to unmount on its own. I had data and cache partitions with f2fs format.

Now, I reverted back to ext4 for both data and cache. The problem seems resolved. Since the last 3 days nothing of that sort happened again. Thought it might help you. If you were on f2fs, try changing back to ext4.

[Feature Request]

Stock rom allows use of the noise cancelling mic on the back of the phone (next to the loudspeaker). This was awesome to record stereo sound using a 3rd party sound recording app.

In nAOSP, only the main microphone seems to be functional.

Is there a way to make both the microphones work? Thank you!

Error executing updates binary in zip

I have Xperia S. It was with unlocked bootloader, rooted and with carbon rom for past months. This night I decided to try 5.1. So I downloaded the latest twrp recovery(2.8.5.0), downloaded rom as well and started. I flashed the recovery successfully, but when I tried to install the rom I got the error "error executing updates binary in zip". I thought that there could be something wrong with rom/recovery and I decided to roll back to previous rom until everything with this was is fine, then the nightmare begin. I tried any recoveries from 2.6.1.0 to 2.8.5.0 with a couple of roms, including my old one, and I keep getting the same error. What may have happened so that I cannot install any rom on this phone?

Try to flash boot.img from 5.1 prior install the Rom, then proceed with the steps required for flashing the Rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BayPhilip:
Error executing updates binary in zip

As far as I know Xperia S do not have recovery partition. So flashing custom recoveries is done by following command "fastboot flash boot <recovery>". Meanwhile flashing boot is done by same command. So I can have either TWRP recovery or boot partition from ROM. How am I supposed to have both?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vishals16:
You need to flash the twrp recovery in fota partition. Kitkat and Lollipop roms support recovery in fota partition.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

TWRP recovery is not implemented in Lollipop kernel, so you can install Lollipop Rom through flashing KitKat kernel with embedded TWRP recovery and then install TWRP recovery in FOTA section. In two words, flash via fastboot KitKat kernel, then flash Lollipop Rom through KitKat kernel TWRP recovery and at last on Lollipop Rom install TWRP recovery in FOTA section.

Re

Before using that app I had same probs with unwanted screen touches while talking over the phone (I thought my ear does that:D) so now it's ok. I don't think your phone proximity sensor doesn't work properly, that's just CM problem as there are a lot of people complaining on incorrect proximity sensor work. As for the other issues I think that's a consequence of dirty flash, so try to do clean flash with full wipes.

bootloop welcome screen

I've tried both b19 and b18. Both installed without errors, both end at a working home screen. A few seconds after the home screen is displayed the boot animation reappears and after sometime the homescreen is reached again etcetera.

I followed the instructions but couldn't use twrp manager (error) and rashr (unkown device). I installed twrp by the dd command and the bootimage by the fastboot command. Why can't I use these apps and why does the twrp only lists the nozomi versions of twrp and not the LT26i versions. LT26i=nozomi, right?

Am i doing something wrong or perhaps not all xperia s are the same?

Btw I also tried uCyan-12.0-b03, same problem, anyone have a clue?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
So You get boot animation after sometime after being on the home screen? Does this occur after first boot? This problem had occurred to someone too earlier, but can't remember the solution from there. The ROM's are good though, have tried all of them, and they worked fine for Me. Try flashing the stock firmware once and then flashing the ROM. Sometimes this method helps by clean wiping everything.

The TWRP manager app doesn't work for Me too, doesn't show any recovery.

I think Nozomi versions are only listed because of the lt26i and lt26ii models, although exactly same by hardware, and since they share common name i.e. "Nozomi".

Re

Step 1. Flashing 5.xx

Download Fastboot tool with drivers from here or from here other copy of Fastboot with drivers, then copy boot.img from here or from here (these boot.img needed for entering TWRP) to the root of Fastboot folder and rename to boot.img. Turn off the phone, connect to PC with vol+ button pressed (led light must be blue if drivers installed correctly). Then open Fastboot folder in Total Commander. In there press shift and mouse right button and choose "Open command window". In command window type "fastboot flash boot xxxx.img + enter (where xxxx.img is the name of the downloaded kernel with TWRP). That's it. After flashing a boot.img you can continue with the steps on flashing the rom (Enter TWRP, wipe everything but sdcard, unmount everything but sdcard and flash the rom).

Then enter in TWRP, go to Wipe - Advanced and wipe everything but sdcard. Then go to Mount and uncheck everything but sdcard. Then go to Install section and flash the desired Rom followed with Wipe and flashing the required Gapps (5.0 or 5.1). After all Wipe Dalvik & Cache and reboot.

Step 2. Flashing TWRP in Fota partition

Download the latest version of TWRP from here. Rename downloaded file as 2850.img and place it in the root of sdcard. Install terminal apk and type the following command: su + enter for granting root rights for terminal apk.

Then dd if=/sdcard/2850.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 (where sdcard/2850.img means path and name of the downloaded file). That's it.

Also, if you face an error like "update binary bla bla" just flash a boot.img from the Rom via Fastboot (same way as Step 1.) prior entering TWRP and proceeding with the installation of Rom. But note that TWRP recovery can be installed in Fota partition only on KitKat and 5.xx Roms.
