How to flash boot.img

How do I flash the boot.img in fastboot mode? I tried to do it in flashtool but it doesn't work for me. I put it into fastboot mode and tried to flash the boot.img but it says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" What do I do?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jim380:
Did you type in the correct command? it's supposed to be "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vesoop:
Do I type it in adb?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jim380:
no. in fastboot. Type in what I showed you earlier as it is. It should work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vesoop:
Can't update - stuck in bootloop

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the boot.img and wiped my data but now when I try to install the update from sdcard1 it says

"INSTALL FAILED

E:Cannot load volume /misc!

Installation aborted.

E:Cannot load volume /misc!"

What do I do? It doesn't recognize my device on my computer or adb so I can't sideload from adb. What are my options from here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
So far I'm reading the main issues as Bluetooth and various sound /speaker incall issues.

Other then these are there any other issues that hinder daily usage.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] supermanlovers:
I have still some problems with bluetooth audio.

Often the volume drops, but the volume level is still the same.

It's like there is a notification or something.

Edit: Audio FX is off
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mauroalpha:
06 release is pretty stable but i'm still having problem with whatsapp/instagram audio messagge and video..when i record it sometimes it skip a lot of seconds ..for example i record 2 minuts video and when i click ok and send the video or the vocal msg is just 10 seconds..

Also I find that when u watch a video and then press pause it take a lot of time to resume it
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
I had this same issue. Make sure you have the latest version of ADB (1.0.32?) that is able to sideload the ROM. As far as sdcard1, I have no idea. I asked twice on here but got no response. If all else fails, use flashtool to go back to stock.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vesoop:
I used flashtool to restore my phone back to normal (Thank You Based Flashtool), but idk how to get cm to install. I'll try it again when it's in beta or stable mode instead of nightlies
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Could it possibly be the screen brightness? I noticed on mine (02052015) that the brightness could be lowered so far that it would completely turn off the backlight. Perhaps it's trying to preserve the battery by being more aggressive about the screen brightness and it just lowered it too far. If you have the setting where you can change the brightness by sliding the status bar you might be able to confirm.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Yeah, I'm not sure why it has problems mounting/displaying sdcard1. The only way I could install mine was by sideloading the APK in CM recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Zwulf:
[MENTION=4784991]broduderson[/MENTION] Lowered it to the lowest level but screen was still bright... really strange. But since build from 6th Feb. it's gone. Everything seems to work fine now. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Unzip the boot.img from cm12 and flash it with Flashtool in fastboot mode (there's an option for flashing custom kernels).

Power on and enter into cm recovery and flash the cm12 zip from there.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] willwm:
Is anyone else experiencing the strange barrel distortion (pincushioning) with the camera? In every nightly build of CM12 I've tried on my Z3C, I find that straight lines are curved in the photos I take (both in the viewfinder, and in the resulting processed JPEG), but this doesn't happen with the stock 4.4.4 ROM.

(FWIW, I also have a Z1 Compact running the same nightly build of CM12, and it does not experience the barrel distortion. I can provide logs from both devices if it helps.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RealitySwitch:
Likewise. I initially thought it might be because it's a 128GB ExFAT card, but I'm not sure now - sounds like the recovery just doesn't handle the SD card correctly.

---------- Post added at 22:18 ---------- Previous post was at 22:05 ----------

On a related note, I've been using the FOTA TWRP recovery image and it seems as though if this is present, the CM recovery isn't used.

I don't know if it's connected but I've also noticed that updating via Settings > About phone > CyanogenMod updates doesn't do anything. It claims it's rebooting to apply the update, but the phone just shuts down and no updating is done. This could be the same kind of failure to reboot into specific modes as I've been seeing when I use the "Advanced reboot" options via the developer menu setting.

Oh and if I eject my SD and then re-insert it (or another card) it won't mount the SD card.

Test the neweset nighly (08.02) since yesterday, and think it´s pretty good. Everything´s working so far. Only the volume adjust isn´t working while calling. Please fix this bug!

Keep it up!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Voice quality during calls?

On nightly 05.02 I almost couldn't understand what the other people tried to tell me... :silly:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] maluc:
On 07.02 nighly the voice quality during calls wasn´t pretty good. Much better on 08.02 nighly for sure! The other ones I haven´t tested.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Everything else is working?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] maluc:
So far I can say. Today in the evening the voice call quality was sometimes really good, sometimes bad. After pick up the call you´ll have to wait about 2 sec. before you can start talking...?

All other things I USE seems to be working as well - also BT in my car and change the volme while I´m talking, NFC Tags, etc...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
What about using the dial pad while on the call and everything else on the bug list in the OP?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] maluc:
Dial Pad during calls - no problem with it.

The list:

All working, compass I have not tested. Also the USB OTG works for me. Also the "double tap wake up", even better as on 5.77 stock.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Arfman:
That is great news!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Yeah, I must confess the double tap feature really surprised me :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kuzcoTheGreat:
what I couldn't find out by reading all the threads about CM12 on xperia:

is the battery life affected?

Sony supposedly has modified the screen in such a way, that only changing pixels are refreshed and thus tries to minimize the screen power consumption. Is this build into the hardware or is this a software feature which I will lose by installing CM?

I hope someone can answer this!?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Arfman:
I installed CM12 today. I will let you know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RealitySwitch:
What you describe sounds like an OLED screen. The LCD screens in the Z series so far can't work that way and the primary power drain is from the backlight.

It's possible to use many LEDs to allow parts of the backlight to be turned off while others are on, which is called local dimming. Dunno if any phones are equipped with this.

Sony's android build can do stuff like batching background data, clocking the CPU lower and preventing apps from running when the screen is off. That's what Stamina mode is. CM 12 has "Battery Saver" under "Settings > Battery > ... > Battery saver" which apparently reduces performance, limits vibration and stops most background data. Sounds similar, but I don't know if you can declare exclusions like you can with Stamina mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lba810701:
Hi!

If you set the brigthtnes to low, ( near to the minimum ) the screen vibrate sometimes.. Or am i the only one with thiese problem? The other things, like the calls. The calls working only on the loud speakers.. I must use a headset with microphone. Or with a usually headphone and speak to the phones microphone.. And if i use they, there arent any latency on the calls, i hear everything, others hear me too. How can we track down thiese bugs? And on the latest nightly ( 20150208 ) we can set up the screens rotations mode. And not all degrees working. The 90 degrees sometimes not working. ( or it will take some time.. To much to compared to others )180-270 are immadietly working, thea are good.

Anybody else got thiese problems?

Sorry about my bad english.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] maluc:
Attention! With the nightly from 10.02 I got massive conection problems with my network. When somebody calls me their phone is ringing, but no reaction on my phone - neither a missed call.

Back to 08.02 - works even better!

Please fix the network bug and the volume button while voice calling!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vesoop:
I tried that & I still get the same error as before. What else do I do?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mariotme:
Guys can you please share what gapps are you all running?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tankos:
Don't know if this is a bug or my own error. I was following the instructions to install CM12 coming from stock. Managed to fastboot flash boot.img and get into recovery. SDcard didn't seem to be recognised so I was in the process of starting the sideload procedure. Before this I accidentally clicked through to 'view logs' (initially showing live logs - now blank screen) and I'm now unable to get back to the recovery menu or reboot the phone. (No device found using ADB) Will wait for the phone to run out of battery and start again unless anyone has any other ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mariotme:
Try keep pressing power + volume down or up can't remember which exactly. The phone will vibrate and shut down.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
You can always press the hard shut off button as well (it's under the slot with the SIM card iirc)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Looks like there's a new patch for "incoming calls" in the next nightly. We'll have to see if it fixes the lag on incoming calls.

Does anyone know if it´s possible to make a backup from CM12 - to revocer later?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] XQC:
Sorry for the blunt question, but what exactly are the advantages of CM 12 compared to Z3 stock + root + Xposed?

Or is it just for the sake of testing and experimenting?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
The second question is the real explanation, I guess :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kuzcoTheGreat:
One word: Bloat.

More words: Yes, you can delete most of the bloat if you have a rooted phone. But do you realize just HOW MUCH bloat there is on this phone? I can't even guess, what some of the preinstalled packages do, so it feels somewhat quirky to delete them just because they got "facebook" or "twitter" in their name.

is it safe to delte account manager?

is it safe to delete devices app? just for example.

CM is much cleaner in that perspective.

also, I like my phone "perfect", which I cannot accomplish with stock
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
I like CM as well...

but we have to be realistic: CM will be never perfect on a not-nexus device.

We can talk hours and hours about this argument, but if you need a stable rom with a long battery life, you always need a rom based on stock firmware.

Sad but true.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AndroidenKalle:
Be careful with nightly 20150210. I have problems with voice call and sometimes it's not possible to get voice in calls.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] strofo:
I have the same problem with 20150210 build. I cannot received any voice call. Going back to 20150208.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Zwulf:
20150208 is quite stable, got no FC or anything (only latest nightly got that weird call-in issue). Also I tweaked i/o to noop and governor to ondemand without any noticeable lack on performance. Furthermore I use Greenify, doesn't matter if stock or CM and battery life is a good as stock for me (always hitting Greenify button after reboot and before locking because of missing XPosed). Btw. bloat on stock is about 4 times as much compared to CM (while bloat doesn't seem to affect battery to be fair) and as already mentioned for about 2/3 of that I cannot even guess what it's for (probably a lot of things collecting user data) - in CM I know what almost every system app is for and can debloat it easily, even if there are few things to remove for my needs (Launcher3, AOSP keyboard, Live wallpapers, cell broadcast). CM just feels much more comfortable and clean, also stable with same battery life. Only camera quality is recognizably worse, but I hope to see a camera port (if possible) in the future as it happened with Walkman + ClearAudio already... *praying*

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tankos:
Thanks! Managed to get out using power button + volume down. Now rocking cm12.

Don't know if anyone else has got the Google play movies 'device not supported' problem? Couldn't find a solution...

The other 2 bugs I've found so far are static + high sound level on calls and intermittent flickering screen when reducing brightness to low.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tankos:
Hmm.. Trying to update to today's nightly via the update option in settings led to a bootloop... had to wipe and reflash boot.img via fastboot to get it to work...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Are most of the bugs still present in the 20150208 build? The most annoying was the speaker phone activating and not being able to disable on answer.... I really wanna use CM12 :D

http://xdaforums.com/general/general/to-hell-f-lte-connection-t3028669/post58795536#post58795536

Maybe it´s a problem with CM12 on D5803? Anyone know this problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Can't say if it's due to CM12 or the previous proceedings in order to install it on the phone, but the notification light in the upper left corner has become very weak in intensity. I can still customize its color and everything though.

Hy All,

Firs of all, sorry for my poor english, I' m just a French Frog !! ;)

Need help on fixing issues I have on my OPPO Find 7a internationnal version.

I used to run on CyanomenMod 11 and I was good.

When Cyanogenmod 12 came, I jump on it and I think I've made a big mistake when I wiped my phone.

I briked it: Black Screen, no fastboot, no recovery, nothing when I wipe everything.

I reach to reload the phone by following a guide: how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067

So today my phone run on Stock Color OS 1.2 with stock recovery and no root.

When I install TWRP recovery, and try to install Cyanogen 12 + Gapps + root, Recovery said Unable to mount InternalSD or SDCard. And I can't access MicroSD card using my phone.

After reading a lot of things, I am lost ! I gess it's a problem due to partitions layout.

I tried this "tool-partition-repairscripts-for-oppo-find7-find7a.20271" without success ==> Brick again !

Does anybody can help ?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intybus:
Is there a way to limit the (up)scaling on the HDMI out of my (rooted) Nexus 10? To be more precise: If I connect the Nexus 10 via HDMI to a TV set, can I tell the tablet to limit the signal on the HDMI out to e.g. 720p even if the TV set accepts signals up to 1080p?

The reason I ask this is that I'd like to play low resolution content on the tablet (having lowered its virtual screen size to match the content's resolution) and let the TV set do the upscaling.

Just to be clear: This question is NOT about how to set the (virtual) screen size (which can be done using the "wm size" command)! It's about imposing a user defined limit on the scaling the Nexus 10 does on the HDMI output.

[Nexus 7 General] berthy3:
I've made car install of the Nexus 7 (Citroën DS5 French car, here is one dedicated topic).

My installation is Nexus 7 2012 with Timur USB Rom + USB camera for rear view.

When I start the car, the tablet is going back from sleep mode and all the USB are also powered on the same time.

The consequence is few seconds after going back from standby, an automatic prompt appears asking if "USB Camera Pro" is the right application to launch as the USB camera is detected. If I click on 'Ok' and choose by default, as soon as the tablet goes back from standby, the Camera app launches.

And I don't want this. I prefer being able to start the application manually.
