Hey guys is there any chance a ftf file can be made for this cause i have a locked bootloader (which cant be unlocked ) so i cannot flash it :( please help me :( i really want cm12 on my phone
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Not possible
[Sony Xperia M2] kevinkehoe18:
oh :( i cant use flashtools and convert it to a ftf file ? :(

So basically i cant root or flash roms with a locked bootloader and theres no way i can do these stuff :(
[Sony Xperia M2] scaschera:
Unlock your bootloader with flashtool if you want to install custom ROM and recovery
[Sony Xperia M2] kevinkehoe18:
My bootloader cannot be unlocked :/ i tried already
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
Check out if you have SIMLock. If you have it, go to the mobile service center and ask them to unlock it. After that, you could unlock your bootloader
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
That feature is broken at the moment they are trying to work on a fix, your sd card is fine it will get soft bricked after though, to fix this all you've to do is connect it to your PC and format it and restore It's default config,

You can also trying wiping from recovery if it gets recognized.

obb on sd is the name of that xposed module + there are other mods too like MM sd card fix something like that or Xinternal. You should go thru the module list.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

That's more like it. I like that function.

BTW what i've done? Nothing. just popped in my sd card, didn't go thru any procedure. opened X-plore and found my sd card there. installed module and it's working just like kitkat. only once you need to select sd card when you access it from any app.

for example mx player. say i want to delete a movie straight from the player, it'll ask you to select sd card and done.

Hi,

Sorry for my poor english.

I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 13 (link here), I just unlock the bootloader and save my TA partition . I'm in 5.1.1 official firmware (Version 18.6.A.0.175).

I allow myself to ask you a few questions:

1. I have to downgrade to 4.4 to install this rom or can I directly installation?

2. I have to root before flashing the ROM?

3. What do you recommend recovery before installation?

Thank you in advance for your answers. A french user.
[Sony Xperia M2] slole:
OK just want to to say that battery life on this ROM is NOT a compromise. ?

Btw: if you were wondering how did I manage to achieve 6h screen on time, I was developing an app and used adb over wifi so essentially the wifi was also constantly on.
[Sony Xperia M2] dudssdudbr:
thanks for the reply, I'll wait for the updates then. thank you!!!!

as external memory is functioning normally, I will wait for the next chapter scenes hahaha thank you!
[Sony Xperia M2] walkman-610:
1. not required 5.1.1

2. Root does not necessarily have to be unlocked bootloader

3. Twrp 2.8-3.0

sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia M2] dudssdudbr:
1. I have to downgrade to 4.4 to install this rom or can I directly installation?

no, I installed directly from 5.1 and functioned normally.

2. I have to root before flashing the ROM?

my phone was already root, I believe you have already root would be better.

3. What do you recommend recovery before installation?

only gives to use TWRP, that is to download link, I made backup the complete rom before the procedures.

Good luck! I am Brazilian user kkkkk
[Sony Xperia M2] lrachb:
Thanks a lot at walkman-610 and dudssdudbr :good:

Ok ! go on, i install it on myxperia
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
You do not need root prior to installing this rom, it won't help you one bit. Just have unlocked and latest bootloader, flash recovery provided in the CM13 download link. That's it.
[Sony Xperia M2] MARIAN82:

Does anybody know how to enter to recovery after install this rom ?

To fix volume problems I'm recommending this zip : http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-divinebeats-sound-master-phone-sony-t3274355
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Hold volume down + power button when it's off :)

Ofc if you flashed recovery with

fastboot flash recovery nameofimg.img

Sent from D2303
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Also, if you flashed the kernel (boot.img) from freack_v version of cm13 I think it's enough to hold vol- when you see the purple LED - it should become orange if you got it. With alternative sensors it might be vol+ (models with different events or something like that) (It has TWRP integrated also).
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
It's very easy to fix. Go-to system/etc/ create a folder named hostapd then in that folder just put your hotspot conf file. You can find the download a couple of posts back. The link starts with raw.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Devs it's a request to you please fix the call audio. The rom is amazing now that I've disabled some of my xposed modules. They were creating lag. Apart from call audio, everything's good. I did the possible build.prop fixes but no luck.
[Sony Xperia M2] drhousebreaker:
Ofc I've flashed recovery using .... flashtool ... :mad:

Fixed !!!

Thanks Mate :)
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
For flashing recovery use this guide but please make sure you flash the recovery provided with this rom in the download page!

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/development/twrp-2-8-7-0-updated-theme-t3252807

For unlocking your bootloader, follow this :- http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

For latest bootloader go here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/development/ubl-xperia-m2-bootloader-update-ftfs-t3288148

Second flash the updated bootloader

Third flash the custom recovery

I've got a problem with sd card as an internal storage. Formatting cannot be finished(it stops at 20%)or I've got message: 'This sd card appears to be slow.' It's SanDisk class10 UHS-1.I benchmarked it with A1 sd bench it shows Read 33MB/s Write 18.69MB/s.

Is there something to do?
[Sony Xperia M2] Otaku-San:
I already did that. I also had to create the hostapd file first as it wasn't there. But still Hotspot doesn't work or stuck at Activating Hotspot... :-/
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
SD card merger with internal is broken at the moment.

PS. Hotspot works just follow galaxys post and add a line, I'm not on CM13 atm or I would have sent you my configuration file
[Sony Xperia M2] walkman-610:
it is a bug, I [MENTION=5360291]freack_v[/MENTION] promised to fix it in its assembly

sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
You're probably doing something wrong.

Follow these steps exactly.

First download the conf file

Second use Xplore file manager to create the hostapd folder in system/etc/

Now just copy the downloaded file in system/etc/hostapd/

Don't create the conf file yourself because you'll not follow the written format of it.

Just do as i described and you'll be fine.

Shareit wasn't working, but after this its working.

Hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia M2] Otaku-San:
Thanks for trying to help me :)

So the .conf File is not a Downloadable File for Me it is Just Displaying the Content of the File...

Maybe I should try using another Browser? :confused:

[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Note that I'm still standing by this

So we'll put out a final CM13 build this week or early next week.. Will include new WiFi driver, hopefully to fix the autoconnect bug for some of you. Among other stuff :)

Regarding CM14, bugs, for now are:

- Video recording -- broken

- FM -- stock app broken, SpiritFM works

- Offline charging -- we're out of ideas for this.

First;i can't enter to the Twrp , i've been take your tutorial but since i go out to the Cyanogen rom , i can't to return into the TWRP recovery, to flash the rom in hope to disappear the echo bug . :laugh:

Second; i have a echo when i received or when i call a friend , it's disastrous, can i fix it?

Thanks to the community :good:
[Sony Xperia M2] eXp10it:
I'm really happy of this ROM, but same problems here. I have echo in calls. Also I can't change volume in calls :/

OK, sorry, i hope test the Version 14 this week end.
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
About echo in calls, lets just say i prefer texting :p
[Sony Xperia M2] ARandomIndian:
Make sure you flash this recovery - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxEc8D9KskxTMWN2LVFKTTRETHc/view

In Linuxct's ADB pack paste the recovery and then enter your phone in fastboot mode and open command prompt change directory to that folder or use shift + right click inside that folder where the recovery and ADB fastboot files are and click command prompt and then type

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and press enter and it will flash in about 3, 4 seconds and when it says finished disconnect.

Now press volume down and while holding it, hold the power button too, after you feel a vibration let go. It will enter TWRP.

That's the same routine for flashing recoveries just make sure the last line "twrp.img" is the same name as the recovery you want to flash. EG: If my recovery is called twrp123.img i will write "fastboot flash recovery twrp123.img"

Umm, I think I got another question…

1. What does full wipe means? Wiping system, internal storage, data, dalvik cache and cache?

2. Is it necessary for me to wipe system if I want to flash another custom ROM, other than CyanogenMod, or a stock ROM?

2. After I do the full wipe, do I need to flash FTF/stock ROM first, then CM14?
