this ROM is pre-rooted so you just have to go to settings ,,about phone,,,click the build number like 8-10 times until the dev option are enabled now go back,,,above about the phone there is the dev option ...enter it and check for root access ,,set it to apps and ADB :)

i hope i helped with what you need ....good luck my friend :good:

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

the build number shows you when did this ROM was built or when it did get it last update.....it don't make changes over features...maybe in this build they add something or remove something or tweaked something that's all...but often the last build(last build number) will be the best :)

i hope i delivered the idea for you in the right way

good luck :good:

asphalt 8 latest version has problems in many devices, I'm playing v1.7.0k on my sp. and it runs without any lag or frame drops at high graphics.

Stable ROM

Which version of your rom is now stable
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative21:
try last build from hubdroid or latest nuclear mistake nightly. both are stable
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apohans:
EXCELLENT

Got exactly what i wanted plus its stable enough, for a casual use and not very heavy multitasking... i can easily work my way out with the VANIR 5.1.1 the latest update made the lollipop even more sweeter.. BIG THANKS TO VANIR AOSP BETTER THAN ANY OTHER... I FIND YOU GUYS BETTER THAN CYANOGEN MOD

Flash with fastboot is necessary?

hi,

i've installed on my xperia sp the Cyanogenmod of bagysuz and i want to pass at the official AOSP.

following the installation isntructions i should flash boot.img with fastboot, but i already have the recovery CWM and Philz..so can i skip this step?

Sorry for that question but when i unlocked the bl and installed the cyano i almost bricked the phone and i don't want to repeat xD Thanks to everybody
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
don't worry man..but you need a recovery the can flash lollipop otherwise it will give you a status 7 error i think ....but you can try to go into the recovery and fo a full wipe then flash the vanir ROM....or flash an twrp img for the link in my signature down and then flash from it the vanir ROM :)

good luck :good:

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

are you playing it on a lollipop ROM? ...cuz man i just tried like two versions( my internet is slow to download 1.5 gb :p) and did not work ....are you sure from that ...anything special you did there :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vik.sapia:
Ok, so if i'd like to put the vanir 4.4.2 version, my kernel (cyano) should be ok?

Cause i'm not really interested at get the Lollipop version..only want a stable rom
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
oh the 4.4.2 ?...yeah that's ok my friend just do a full wipe and flash it with philz or cmw and enjoy :D,,,,sorry i thought you mean a 5.x ROM

happy flashing :fingers-crossed:

I used vanir_huashan_5.1.1.051415 nightly with Tangerine v2.6. I updated to vanir_huashan_5.1.1.052215 nightly and after SONY logo, my phone doesn't boot up. I fastboot flashed Tangerine v2.6 (OO and TR too), but no success. I had to revert back to my last backup vanir_huashan_5.1.1.051415.

response to crosslink request

[MENTION=6325136]hishokusakuya[/MENTION]

Yes, you totally can. If it's a device that hasn't been built recently, I recommend you mirror it (download the zip and host it on another server). Due to hosting disk space limitations, our nightly history has been around 2 months long.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hishokusakuya:
so that's mean I would better mirror these zip right? thanks for reply.

BTW, is there any simpler changelog for me to translate? translating changelogs on server is too hard to me.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearmistake:
Yeah, mirror it if there's it's really solid... At least it'll be on your server until a better one comes out if one ever does :P

Unfortunately the only change logs we keep are got logs... 90% of them are for other devices or things most users wouldn't understand in any language.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hishokusakuya:
OK I will do it.

I checked it and it likes what you say.

so what's different between 0514 and 0526? just bug fix?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wind07:
I merge changes by mrcl1450 so the latest improvement/fixes gets built into official nightlies.

So changelog between official builds are basically just

1. latest device changes

2. Latest sources

I read that issue with sim card is solved and it works in 5.1.1. What about google services. Do I need to install 5.1.1 Gapps package? Or is it better to download ROM and upgrade it manually?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
it is better to do a full wipe form recovery and then flash the vanir 5.1 ROM :)

and for gapps flash this for 5.1 ROMs :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matej296:
Thank you. It works very well. But it seems Wi-Fi is not working. (In settings says adress MAC and adress IP is not available) If I turn on Wi-Fi, phone is just not looking for any signal and it then automatically turn it off. What is the issue, is it ROM or Tangerine Kernel, because I also flashed it
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
did you fixed the wifi like give in the op of t-kernel ? :confused:

you have to move wlan.ko to system .....etc //did you make that ?

if you didn't .....do this

install root explorer and give it root permissions

go to download page of t-kernel here and download wlan.ko then open the app and move wlan.ko to /system/lib/modules and paste it there and then long press on it ...tap on permissions..tap on enter octal and put (0644)

and then reboot and enjoy ! :)

Doesn't matter what I do.. Can't run this ROM correctly.

GAPPs won't install when the ROM boots up, even with no GAPPs installed, infinite error messages appear. "Unfortunately Play Store/Google Services/Google App/etc has stopped"

I've tried many different builds. Tried with 5.0.2 too.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong =(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wind07:
Flash stock then flash this ROM with a full wipe
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmsalomao2:
I had already done that.. Didn't help much.

You get it by extracting the .tot file :)

[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Was trying to use the linux script to do it and failing. I feel horrible and dirty because I went and did it in Windows.
[Sprint LG G3] mesacarvin:
Thanks a bunch!

I'm a bit confused though

First,

Speaking of root... ZV8 blocks StumpRoot and Bump. If you wish to have a rooted ZV8 you must be previously rooted and have TWRP installed. If you take the ZV8 OTA and want root then -AS OF RIGHT NOW- you will need to downgrade using the ZV4 TOT then root and install TWRP... then upgrade manually to ZV8, either by flashing individual partitions or waiting for a flashable zip.

Then,

Remember... there is no root for ZV8 so do not flash ZV8 TOT unless you don't mind being without root.

The confusion is if you want to have a rooted ZV8 and previously rooted, will you have a rooted ZV8 with this .TOT file?

or

This ZV8 .TOT file will update you to 5.0.1 with no root, just stock?

Just need some clarity. Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
if you flash the full tot.. no root.

if you flash zv8 manually thru twrp using individual partitions or custom rom zip you can root thru twrp.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
No root if you use the .tot file. It's like flashing LG's blank slate image to your phone. It overwrites everything, or enough of everything that you will lose recovery and root.
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:
I can't get the TOT or IMG files... It looks like the hosting site is down. Can someone upload the files to a site?

I see the issue my Botnet is blocking it. I'll be fixing on my end :)
[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
.tot file is 1.9 gb and .img is even bigger. I probably can't mirror (sorry). I had to download the .tot file overnight and it took me two tries to get it downloaded for whatever reason. Good luck!
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Would making a backup of barrin zv6 before flashing do any good?
[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
WIll you be using LG Tool to flash .tot? If so, it won't matter as everything will be lost, including root.

If flashing manually through TWRP, yeah, it'll help!
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
You should ALWAYS make a backup anyway. And IamFlynn is right. It won't let you keep root. From how it sounds, you can still use LGFlashtool to drop back from zv8 to zv4 and then use stump root on zv4 to get your barrin backup restored.
[Sprint LG G3] Visionikz03:
anyone been able to extract the system.img file from the TOT? I am unfamiliar with that file extension and can't find software online to extract it.

*Nevermind, found something that will work*
[Sprint LG G3] JaceAlvejetti:
I tried this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

and it fails to boot restoring a nandroid currently, if someone cant get me a system image I can host it for a bit.
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:
I took the TOT and made the system image. After I flashed everything and rebooted I get a boot certification verify error. I tried the images in the TOT file and also the hosted ones just replacing the TOT system.img. It does not work either way :(
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
I believe there is a trick to getting this to boot since you guys are staying on the old bootloader... but i wanted to wait until engine95 had his ZV8 rom up before addressing it.

try the attached boot.img instead if staying on old bootloader.. should just need to be bump'd. new boot sigs don't work with old aboot.
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:
That version gets by the signature check but it hangs on the LG screen :(
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
interesting. and you've tried wiping data? .. or atleast cache/dalvik?
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:
I just tried the cache and dalvik a few times and no dice...

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

I'm going to try engine95's version...
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
his steps include wiping system and data first... I wonder if that needs to be done this time before updating to L?

or if the update to ZV8 rpm/tz is causing the hang (engine95 does not include those in his zip)?

the patched boot.img should be good though. idk.. please keep me posted. I'm kinda in the dark due to not owning this device.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I have them wipe all 4 just so there are no issues. The ROM actually wipes everything but data on it's own. But a little insurance never hurts.

I did have to use the "other bump" for the kernel though. That's what's in the ROM.

I haven't messed with the rpm/tz partitions yet. That was gonna be on my todo list. Is there really a reason to have them? We didn't use them on ZV6, so I thought why risk it when things are working fine.

I just want to "Thank you" autoprime, for everything you do for us. You're very much appreiciated.
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:

[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
It might be the same, or it might have last minute tweaks. Won't know for sure until it happens.

Flashed the zv8 zip this morning and messed with it for a minute before I remembered how much stock makes me want to vomit. Restored my nandroid of cm12 excluding modem/efs, but was unable to acquire a voice and data signal until I also restored those partitions. I was hoping to get the zv8 modem working with it, but it wasn't a quick fix. Will toy with it some more later.

So i followed directions and everything was going smoothly. Than I was in recovery and said to restart phone and now it appears hard bricked. Screen and lights won't turn on. :(

Any suggestions on how to fix other than sending to LG?
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
do you have any sort of log showing the exact commands entered?

and can you run through the exact steps you took?

the more specifics the better.

there should be no reason for a brick if everything was followed to a T.
[Sprint LG G3] deadave:
1. used the windows app to extract the TOT file and merge all the binary system files to make system img, was about 2.8 or 2.9 gigs.

2. moved the files to the phone.

3. Tried entering commands via the recovery terminal, but the stupid keyboard kept blocking stuff and the text would cut off.

4. Used ADB to enter the commands and they worked.

5. Clicked restart on recovery

6. Recovery asked if i wanted to root, i clicked yes.

7. Phone turned off and won't turn on, tried removing battery, holding power etc.

No luck... seems hard bricked? Won't even do anything when i plug it in...

If someone can tell me how to fix this, i'll send them 20 bucks in bitcoin at minimum for the fix.... :( If i can't get it to work i guess i'll ship it to LG and just buy a nexus 6 in the mean time...
