Our touchscreens are capacitive not resistive so the old nokia plettro can"t work, but if you want attack it to the phone there are two ways: drill or glue........

This firmware version is rootable with KingRoot only. When doing so, make sure you disable all unnecessary apps, because those can disrupt rooting process, thus it may fail.

I rooted my Xperia E4 instantly, there was no need to try again or something like that.

Isn't possible to change the partition of phone's memory and get more space for the? Recovery?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] X3RATH:
I hope so.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
The recovery is not accesible by the user request, only when device itself tells it so. By the way, recovery partition is not being shown on the partition table - thus meaning, that it resists somewhere else. It's even difficult to compile a custom kernel for it, let alone a recovery image - not only sources are messy, but boot image inside the phone is encrypted, so you can't replace it that easily (you need ramdisk to actually boot Android, without it you are stuck on kernel forever). Btw, my phone has it's bootloader unlocked, so in theory that should take off all the roadblocks to the kernel, but it doesn't.

I'm starting to regret buying this phone. It's too strict in all things, which makes it totally unappealling. Still, I have hopes for Lollipop, I saw leaked pictures, which clearly shown Lollipop running on dual-sim version of E4. So yeah, we can expect anything.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Ddichalas:
lollipop

most phones that dont run lollipop from factory..after the update to lollipop they run slower
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] LeonXperiaXC:
That how Mediatek Works! You have the Budget? Pay for the files. If you don't you trying to crack them. That's what I do. Bootloader doesn't give you something "more" when you unlock it. Did you thought, that if you unlock you BL you could take the numbers of the tabs that SP needs to crack the BL? Well... Not... You want to make something about this phone? Download the files from Sony and try to compile them, if you do that then you can work with me to create that Custom Rom.

All best LeonXC
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Xperi m2 dont, only if you are talking of mediatek phones, there are a lots of phones that upgraded to lollipop

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Swediseatball:
A custom ROM

I was wondering is there was a custom rom for xperia e4?

I found a website ( had to remove the link but its something like : lolipopupdate.xyz) is that for real or is it a scam?

Also is it possible to flash a rom from a device with same ram ,cpu,screen etc?

And if a developer is "intrested " in developing a custom rom it would make my dreams come true.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
That website its fake, as the costum rom there is a wiko with the xperia e4 rom, but i dont think there is a phonw with a rom better than this, with lollipop of course
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
I think that engineer mode was intended to be compiled with the rom itself, but it was disabled. Plus, Sony has disabled ART and all the Mediatek gubbins which would have been handy.

And, I think I have found the algorithm how to finally compile a kernel. Looks like I had the wrong Linux distro, which didn't support some advanced Unix commands, so in this case many files were shown as missing.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
Good news! I've managed to compile a kernel straight from Sony's given sources. By the looks of it, everything went pretty well, no editing was required. It generated a scatter file, bootimage itself. Now the only thing left is to compress it somehow and flash it on the phone! :)
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Ddichalas:
Gj my friend..let us now
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
One big issue though - I don't know, what Sony did, but there are no traces of recovery partition at all. I looked over through the scatter file, from which phone decides the partition situation, and, sadly, no recovery partition. I don't know, what to do here. Without custom recovery, we are screwed pretty much. I think it's possible to implement a separate recovery partition from scratch, but it would be a hell of a ride to accomplish. Gonna try that on the weekend hopefully.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Ddichalas:
yeah rly sony f**ked up this phone
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Try use some costum recovery from the same mtk but another phone
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
Wait. All Mtk devices, like clones or something have a program called (and i can't remember the exact name) firmware manager, which uses a zip file compressed with all of the files needed like system and boot.img. They also use a scatter file. I could try to compile a zip file with everything needed and we can use the scatter file that we got from the kernel compiling, if this solution works we don't need a recovery.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
I'll compile a kernel again and will give all the output to you. You clearly got the catch, but one big problem - I tried to repackage the boot.img with mtk tools or whatever they are called, and sadly - that program declined to do this.

I've pulled out the boot.img out of the phone, but it's a no-go.

How smaller is the E4's recovery partition compared to other MTK devices?

Like, can't we modify existing MTK custom recoveries, removing some of its features, to make it fit in our E4?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
I really don't know.

Firstly, there's no recovery partition. As someone said, it might be packaged with the kernel itself. Plus, I can't extract the kernel - it's encrypted, I think.

Guys , anyone managed to change the build .prop?

Sony has made it unchangeable.my device got bricked after changing it.

Sony probably have locked the kernel too.

I like to add sony mobile bravia engine to E4.

If anyone knows please reply.

And does anyone know how to unbrick E4 too ?.

Becauese i dont want to brick it again.it is unbrickable by sony pcc and androxyde flashtool.

The service center people repaired it for me.

Beware.

Maybe wushua flash or Spflashtool might work .but havent tried.

Unbrickable by flashtool? You booted in flash mode and it couldn't flash a fw?

I think I can work something out. I built the kernel, but left it there ever since. Problem is, I can't figure it out, how to decrypt this stupid boot image. I now know, how to set up those build scripts at least, so maybe there's some automated process, which merges boot image and recovery image, though I don't think it's possible.

If there was a way to repair ,when the device is in bootloop or bricked ,i could test some more tweaks.

Because sony pcc doesnt recognize E4 and androxyde flashtool will have a log like this.

Well the person who repaired the phone at the sony repair center i think used windows 7. I dont think people who repair knows about spflashtool and wshua unbrick which worked for xperia C.

Does anyone have a clue on how to enable USB OTG on this phone? Like... does the kernel or the soc even support it?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:

Why it does have not enough power, if a cheap tablet does? I think if you power a otg then it will charge the phone
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Twski:
Cheapness doesn't play a factor here... it's just a design choice. As newsony suggested, the Xperia L had USB OTG support, but it couldn't power a OTG device up. It may be the case of our phone
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] newsony:
The AIDA app says usbhost is their

And many other apps also show this.

The usb host checker app says handheld_core_hardware.xml is missing.

It can be fixed if you have root.

The situation was same as the old xperia L as well.

Plus i have seen other mtk6582 devices having otg support.so the processor supports it.

Hence i strongly believe E4 cant power up otg devices but has usb host support.

So do you know how to enable the otg driver?

So with a powered otg cable we can get usbhost otg support, the only thing that I want from this phone.

I tested it out in my old Sony e1.

But I don't won't to brick my device again. :(

I wasn't able to unbrick the device last time on windows10.

Might work on windows 7 or windows 8.

I can't go back to Sony service center again.

Does anyone like to get the lollipop notification and quick settings panel to kitkat?

I found a way.But it is very hard.

I already have material design like lollipop.

We can make our E4 look entirely like lollipop except of course the settings app.
