Well binaries are for kit kat ... I ll give a try but if I don't solve the problem with fastboot, I am afraid that it would be a deadend. To push it with adb you need cwm which we don't have...also you might need to unlock bootloader to flash from adb or fastboot so if anything happens to your Sony Xperia I won't be responsible. But the good thing is that with flashtool you can relock it and with pc companion reflash it again....you ll have news from me soon...
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] KeithPhantom:
We need more development, maybe Mediatek didn't release The binaries

Anyone have CWM for xperia e4g ?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Marko Indaco:
Meh... (sarcastic bootloop post)

Hello guys, i know i am repeating myself but, please, let me know if someone is managing to create a recovery. My Xperia E4g is in bootloop and i don't want to lose any more time with this piece of crap. I tried to get into the stock recovery and his "useful" functions that made me LOL !

I'll buy as soon another phone (NOT Sony) that is compatible with TWRP. If, one day, will be available a recovery, i will fix the phone and give it for free to someone that i really hate).

Below the long and useful options list that you can find in the stock recovery by pressing [Vol-Down + Power] for few seconds:

- Continue Power up - - - (seriously? Hmm... very usefull)

- Safe mode - - - - - - - - - (unnecessary since preinstalled apps are anyway loaded even in Safe Mode, and bootloop began after uninstalling one of these)

- Factory Reset - - - - - - -(is the same thing that i can do from the phone options? - very usefull 2.0)

- Power Off - - - - - - - - - -(really?)

What can i do? I was seriously contemplating this option

PS

If the phone is turned on and stuck in bootloop, to enter recovery you must FIRST press [Vol-Up + Power] than, as soon as the screen turns off press [Vol+Down + Power] and wait until the fantastic recovery screen comes up. good luck

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Marko Indaco:
Hi guys, thank for helps out and sorry for my late reply, i was just bit busy.

Yes, i use PC Companion to get out from the situation bootloop (losing root permissions because the procedure obviously upgrade to stock rom 25.0.A.2.31 that can not be rooted, so, i re-flash to downgrade to 25.0.A.1.28 just to put root again). I was looking for a way of not having to redo the whole procedure. Anyway that situation force me to read a lot of threads, both here on XDA that on other sites. Unfortunately i do not have the technical skills to compile code but if I can help in some way i will do as well.

And it 'a shame because Xperia E4 / E4g it could also be a nice device but... first of all Sony lies about upgrading to Lollipop, declaring that they would have updated it, then change at the last minute, which meantime many people had bought it. Second it got really bad issues with touchscreen, expeccialy when it's in 220-Volt recharge (and, for clarity, i test it after upgrading rom and i must say that the upgrade solves the issue only when the phone are not conncted in 220V... as soon as connected to the charger, problems come back... Imho it would be better if they retire it from the Market, or, at least, lower the price.

The recovery partition for the E4 is too small that TWRP to enter and work propely, so possibly there will not be any TWRP for E4 in the near future, but I will start to port and maybe even create a custom recovery for E4. I will appreciate if I got some help and some testers. Thank you!

just one more little question,is your bootloader unlocked?

edit,doesnt work on 2003 :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
Don't give this phone slack for not being able to put something custom in it - it's Sony, that does that to every their phone. It's been done with purpose, and to flash different kernel, you need to work out more than you should.

Anyway, I've already done some research in the past, and the fact that prebuilt kernel is encrypted - it's no wonder. The thing, that saves this phone - complete sources are being given to us by Sony, just not in the standard form, so to most it looks like a total tragedy.

I'll try to play around with sources today and risk my phone of getting bricked. I want to optimize stock kernel, so do you.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] HackTube:

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
I tried to play around with ftf image files Sony provided to consumers.

And... Nothing worked. Just nothing. Yesterday I thought that the easiest way to retrieve a stock boot image is from ftf image.

I did everything step by step, extracted boot.sin from ftf and tried to convert it to boot.img. By accident, it did convert. I started yelling like crazy. Too bad I did that too early and eliminated my motivation to move any further.

So, in the end, neither of available tools for splitting boot image worked. Everyone of them showed that image is corrupted. To hell with it.

I'm not clever enough to think of any other solution. There is a considerable risk of bricking the phone if you accidentally mess up your preloader. If you actually mess that up - only service centers could fix that irrelevant mistake.

Still, I haven't lost my hope - I'm searching for someone, who actually knows, how to deal with this bull****. Maybe, eventually, somebody tells me everything I need to know. Now there's no road left to move ahead.

Yes, although you will need root you can.

You need to have Xposed Installer installed, if you do search for XInternalSD, download the application and reboot the device. When you do enter the app and you will see a path saying /system/sdcard or something between those lines, you want to change sdcard to sdcard1, and you also want to make sure the download folder will de in the sdcard.
