yup sad news . . .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foresto:
Fix a boot loop by re-flashing your device's stock ROM.

I had the same problem with my mango. It turned out that I had to use FlashTool to re-flash the stock 4.1.B.0.587 ROM again, even though I had already done that in the past when installing LegacyXperia 11. The problem is apparently caused by version 11 modifying the partition layout in a way that is not compatible with version 12. Partition layout is not reset by flashing images with fastboot or installing zip files from recovery mode.

Someone really ought to state this explicitly at the top of this thread. The wiki instructions are misleading when they say "This step is only needed when you flash KitKat for the first time." They ought to say something more like "This step is needed when you flash a new major version (e.g. upgrading to KitKat or Lollipop) for the first time." The nutshell instructions are similarly misleading. The Bootloop section of the Common Problems wiki probably ought to mention this as a cause of bootloop as well.

After re-flashing the stock ROM, I used fastboot to flash the LegacyXperia 12 kernel again, rebooted into recovery, and was finally able to flash the whole zip file.

Good day!

Prompt, please, what I need to do to install CM12 on Xperia Pro?

Is CM10 Root of course is, CWM too. But have a few questions:

0) how am I ever going to put CM12 or need "stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587"?

1) How to manually reboot the phone into bootloader mode, fastboot saw him?

2) There is a MicroSD 8Gb Class 10. How do I make "secondary ext4 partition for /data"?

3) "System-Formating-Tool_signed.zip install via CWM Recovery?

4) At what point will be allocated to "internal memory layout"?

P. S.

By performing all the actions: firmware IMG, install zip etc - if I, if anything, to restore the phone via CWM Recovery Backup? If not, how to make a backup right?

Thanks in advance for your answers! Sincerely, Jacob!

Update Encouraged?

Hi, I've got a Xperia Play GSM (R800i) and think about upgrading to CM12.

I currently use ICS and Lupus kernel because I use the Play to play emulator games.

I would like to upgrade if

* Standard phone functions are stable

* Battery use is not excessive compared to my current setting

* Getting the Touchpads to work with FPSe and mupen can be accomplished with a moderate amount of work

I'd happily invest a bit of time into getting the touchpads to work (and the rest of the gamepad if necccessary, see Github issue 909 on local_manifests)

Do you think these conditions are met?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] axy_david:
Tried every single key, I'm getting 'wrong footer' and 'signature verification failed'.

It seems I'm not the only one with this problem around here.

I can flash CM12 ans original Gapps, but everything else I get the errors mentioned above.

CM12 too slow after downgrading from the new AOSP build

on my iyokan CM12 was -kind of- slow for me before, but after downgrading from the AOSP because of a battery eating bug, now my device is hardly responding.

I have formatted the system again, wipe'd everything and installed just the minimal gapps recommended by the OP.

Im using a Class10 16GB sdcard and the phone was usable before. any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sreehari.007:
Hi guys,

Anyone can help me?

Does sudden shut down or random reboot cause corrupted sd card? (because of poor battery)

I was on cm12 and using ext 4 partition.

my 2 sd cards got corrupted, one was class 6 and the other was class 10.

I dont know what the reason is

CM12: Android is updating after every restart caused by gapps

Dear All,

reading through this sites I was successful installing CM12+gapps on my xperia active.

Configuration:

Sony Xperia Active

cm-12-20150402-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma.zip

System-Formating-Tool_signed.zip

MDPI_miniGAPPS-L-20150504-signed.zip or MDPI_miniGAPPS-L-20150509-signed.zip

Samsung EVO 32 GB formatted 27GB FAT32 + 4GB Ext4

CM12 is running quite fast on phone.

Compared to the problem I now describing, if I restart CM12 (without installed gapps) it will directly boot up without any updating process. In summary I made 4-5 restarts without problems.

And now there´s the point:

After installing the above mentioned gapps, during 1st startup 11 apps will be "optimized", updated..

But now - even If I just choose restart without installing anything else during next startup Android is updated again,

optimizing app 1 of 1 taking about 10 mins. If I´m lucky it will stop after one run - if not 2-3 times.

And if optimizing has finished and restart again same time consuming procedere will appear.

So to put it into a few words: gapps causes the phone to startup delay of at least 10min without any visible effort.

Wipe cache did not help.

Is there possibility to find out which App needs to be optimized at every restart (debug protocol etc.)

Or is there possibility to install one of the 11 gapps one after each other.

Thanks to all your hints in advance!

Regards

Ralf
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evil.demon_s:
That one app which is constantly optimizing would be Google play services

Because its very big to get compiled in one run - around 66mb

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abednego:
Ok, I confess guilty of not reading all the 60 pages on the thread up to now - but maybe I can help anyways with the "optimizing app 1 of 1" issue:

On the LXperia homepage there's a link to "common problems" and there's the following advice:

Maybe that helps? I'll try as soon as the issue strikes my "Smultron" Mini.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ralftze:
1) Excluding apk from zip file - no Installation possible

2) Manually installing one apk after the other - finally Google account login function is missing

3) Modifying build.prop seems to be an evident way to solve problem - but my first attempt ended in a bootloop - must have been wrong with

formatting the file after modifying - today second try

As I just had the same problem few weeks ago: "Installing-LegacyXperia-for-Dummies" one thing is missing:

Before installing cm12 you have to create a second partition on your SD card (ext4, primary), good description can be found

- I´m not allowed to post links -

Just google after "sd partition android"

Quick test of the new cm12.1 build

I managed to get the cm12.1 build this night on my anzu, and after a few hours on it, well, it's still a bit laggy, and it seems there's an issue while unlocking the SIM card:

The phone doesn't ask the PIN code on start but after a few minutes (I can go in menus and stuff)​

The phone asks to unlock it almost every time it goes idle (black screen, sorry for my poor english)​

Sometime, the phone says it failed to unlock the SIM card (didn't have this problem on cm11.0)​

Also, I don't know if it's related, but the Play Store seems to fail using Wifi connection and tries to get a data connection from my SIM card.​

And another point, since I installed the cm12.0 a few days ago, and switched back to 11.0, I have a horrible battery drain and my poor anzu get hot (>45°C) when it goes idle (my battery almost lasts longer when the screen is on). It looks like a common Android 5+ issue as I read on the Internet. The 12.1 build seems also to have this problem, my battery lasts no longer than 2 hours. If someone knows how to fix it, even by going back on cm11.0, I'd be glad to listen to him/her.

Thanks for your hard work for keeping the 2011 serie alive. :)
