Did you tried with PhilZ? The rom was made with that recovery, so it shouldn't have trouble with it!
[Sony Xperia M2] Gaurav007:
Lot of people have problem in flashing so I have made Meta-INF script to flash the Rom;) I will upload it today.
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
Yes, I tried CWM and PhilZ but I always get the error Status 1
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Can you check if MD5 matches?

Let PhilZ calculate it before flash.

MD5: 83803393A5449065260A7A322EE39BC6
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
I tried to calculate 3 times rhe MD5 with PhilZ and it's always different
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
That's extremely weird!! :eek:

Is it in internal memory or in SD? If it's in sd you might want to check for errors on it, and then copy the .zip from your pc to internal sd card...

But if the file it's in internal memory when you took the pics, I'd recommend you to flash the entire .15 ftf to ensure no damage in the internal memory.

If that's still happening you might have to contact Sony.

Again, it's impossible that a file mutates between MD5 reads :silly:
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
Now i'm trying with the internal memory and the MD5 matches but still no install :confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Would you try doing the following?

unzip the file of the ROM .

then : Copy the following files: data.ext4.tar , system.ext4.tar , boot.img , data.ext4.tar.a , nandroid.md5 , recovery.log , system.ext4.tar.ay system.ext4 . tar.b.

Then , create a folder that is ClockworkMod call and within this creates a backup with the name and within this another folder with this name 1970-01-19.22.23.10_18.3.1.C.1.13 within this copy the files before dimensioned .

then : you go to Phil

then : Backups & Restore

then : Restore from SDcard1

then : you choose the backup and let it to restore . If everything goes OK you should have the rom ready in 5 minutes..

Steps took from #37

It works ! Thanks !!! Your ROM is so beautiful! :D

Recovery Philz

Hello, is there a way to install a recovery (philz for example) in a M2 2303 with bootloader unlocked and with the last firmware 1.15 ?

i only find a method for locked BL

Thanks a lot
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
The recovery is compatible with both locked and unlocked bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia M2] bluebeery38:
Thanks for thata quick reply .

Will the recovery installation be compatible with the new booloader provided by sony ? or is there a recovery image ?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No, the recovery replaces a boot script called e2fsck with some commands that check if you press the Vol- button and also some LED tweaking. If so, it opens the recovery.sh script that loads the recovery.cpio file, and if not, simply loads stock e2fsck file. There's no custom recovery image nor boot.img with the recovery inside. It's just in /system/bin.
[Sony Xperia M2] bluebeery38:
Thanks, so that is very clear

Last question.... for today. You know sony provides us a new bootloader with a new recovery mode. The recovery is to be flashed tthrough a "recovery.img" . Will there be a recovery.img compatible with the last firmware (1.15) ?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Yes, I already knew. You can try using CM12.1 recovery if you want. I'm trying to port TWRP for our device, but no luck, I had some troubles. I'll keep trying BTW, so if I get it working I can send it to you.

Enviado desde mi SHIELD Tablet mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia M2] bluebeery38:
Thanks for all, will CM12.1 worked with kikkat 4.4.4 ? that's great
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
It will. Recoveries are now for all system versions, no matter what rom you use. You can have TWRP and use CM12.1 while you can use CM Recovery and use Omni, or stock for example.
[Sony Xperia M2] bluebeery38:
But, if i am right, the boot.img we found are not what i need. Theses image are made with recovery and modified boot , correct ? So where can we find pure recovery ? Will somebody make a tutorial : how to use this new sony booloader ? (with recoveries pre made of course )..

thanks for your comment and your patience
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Correct.

CM12.1 Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lfub133wy5833bx/recovery.img

You MUST flash it using command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' while in Fastboot (Vol+ when connecting cable while phone is off). Obviously, you will need to have open bootloader, and have it updated via Emma.
[Sony Xperia M2] bluebeery38:
Thanks for the recovery

My bootloader is open, and the rom is rooted, i have noticed i have to updated with Emma . As soon as i have time, i'll backup and update !!

I just installed this rom and is working perfectly.

For those who own the 2303 version, I have modified the bootanimation from the Z4 addon a little bit.

This was the original:

If you like it, you can download the attachment and install it as usual, from recovery.
[Sony Xperia M2] gabivarzan:
After a few hours with this rom I can confirm that it has not lag, the overheating is decent.

Just one thing, regarding the UI, I would have preferred that the menu button to be the one from the original Xperia M2 rom, and not this circle one.

Anyway it is not a bug, it is something I would have preferred.

The rom is working and looking awesome!

[Sony Xperia M2] swnny:
I've used the last version (2.0) for a month, but decided to update to the newest frimeware available for me via OTA. Now my firmware is 18.3.1.C.1.16. Will I be able to install 3.0 of this ROM? I do not have .17 yet....

Edit: forgot to mention that the device is D2303.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
You can install the 3.0 over 16, no problem with that.

Remember to root and install philz :)
[Sony Xperia M2] gershco:
Just seen the ROM. Planning to try but just wondering if I'll be able to use an ext partition on the micro SD and an app such as Link2SD?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
This rom is stock based, so, if you're able to do that in Stock, then you will be able with the ROM too. And the same goes for many other functions, like xloud, etc.

[Sony Xperia M2] Valentin0123:
Hi Linuxct

Is it possible to reupload the backup and restore apk from our Xperia M2 (D2303) ?

I did a backup before uploading to the 3.0 version of the ROM, and I can't restore my data...

Thank you in advance !
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Okay, will upload and edit post.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dr_Ramos22:
is a noob question but how know when the bootloader is locked/unlocked?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Dial the following: *#*#7378423#*#* (note that the number codes match with SERVICE letters in the num pad). Now go to Service info, then Configuration and see in rooting status. There are 3 possibilities: Bootloader unlock ALLOWED: Yes; Bootloader unlock ALLOWED: NO; Bootloader unlocked: Yes. The first two mean that your bootloader is locked but it can be unlocked in case it says yes, or if it says no, then you cant open it. And if says bootloader unlocked yes means your bootloader is opened.

[Sony Xperia M2] Valentin0123:
Hi !

First, thank you for the Backup and Restore app : everything worked fine !

However, although it's handy, the navigation bar is too big for me... That's why I plan to install GravityBox.

But the Xposed app warns me about some risks of "bricks" or "boot loops" if I install the framework (Classic way)

So, is it dangerous with the .17 firmware to install xposed ? Is it easy to remove in the case where it slows my M2 ?

Thank you !
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
Xposed will create recovery zip on you sd card so you can flash it if you have bootloop. So if you have CWM it's relatively safe. ;)

Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia M2] Valentin0123:
Thank you for your response !

However, I don't have CWM but Philz Touch, and my bootloader is locked. I hope it works also by the same way, and that a brick won't prevent me from accessing to the recovery.
[Sony Xperia M2] Andrej732:
Don't worry!

You don't even need to flash the zip via recovery. There is safe mode which disables xposed framework(actually all third-party apps) so you can delete/change the app and then just reboot it again to normal mode. You can active safe mode following this method: while the phone is booting click several times on volume down so it needs to vibrate 4 or more times and the last vibrate is usually the longer. When you feel that vibrate just wait to boot the phone.

Hi. I have a question. Is it normal that when i turn on a service (Greenify) in accessibility the settings will crash? It say "unfortunately settings has stopped working"

You shouldn't need to use that setting if your device is rooted I thought it was a setting for stock devices.

Well, I use accessibility services too and I haven't had any crash or whatsoever. Are you sure it isn't caused by any external app you installed? Maybe a reflash can help.

wcdma error

Hello guys. I have a questions. After flashed to z4 experience complete ed 2.0 i cant change my preffered network mode to wcdma only. they just offer me with gsm only and wcdma/gsm. Mine is D2302 with build number 18.3.1.B.1.8. Can you fix it?? Thanks Before :)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
AFAIK, all roms had (in d2303) WCDMA/GSM, WCDMA only it's not possible. But maybe by changing the base rom it's possible. Also, check in google play because there are some programs that let you alternate between network modes.

Im having the same problem on my Sprint Note 3 that i had flashed and it wont go away unless i restart the phone and then its only for a few seconds. Someone help please
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSHQuietly:
Remedy for "Checking device status" hang.

I know what it is. These instructions are for those who use their s5 without cellular service and could not get a successful activation after reset because there is no network carrier responding to status inquiries.

Samsung s5 tries to launch "no touch activation" and "system update" after a factory reset. To put a stop to this, go to settings > system update (under the system tab) and uncheck auto-update. You are half-way there! Now go to settings > application manager. You will be on the "downloaded" tab, move to the "all" tab. Find! "Software Update" 696k and disable it. Now restart if you want to test it! That was for Galaxy s5 SM-G900P or similar models that get stuck in activation loop or are unable to complete activation because of a bad config and you are on an unlocked phone with a valid SIM card or other CDMA configuration and If you are getting this error while trying to activate or sim/uicc unlock and you believe it is a bad config, you will need to configure the "Service Mode" menu first. Root the phone. Open /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and modify its content from OFF to ON. Reboot. Open dialer and input *#0011# to enter "Service Mode" menu. Wait for at least 10 seconds and look for the three dots icon in the upper right. Press it and select "back" from the drop-down menu (not on the bottom of the phone.) Now wait ten seconds and press the three dots and select "Key Input" and enter the letter uppercase "Q" and press "ok". Wait at least three econds and go key input and enter six zeros, "000000" and press Ok on the seventh flash of the cursor. Wait up to 30 seconds for the secret menu to appear. If it does not, enter Airplane Mode, reboot, and retry. If by chance you are seeing a blank page, reboot and try again and if still blank, root your phone and start over. Still blank, you're done. Something's wrong with your phone. It ain't going to work for you. Once inside the menu, click item 2 "UE Setting", then inside that menu, click menu item "setting", then once inside that menu click "protocol", then once inside that menu click "[8] mscdma" and you'll see "1". Go to the menu in the corner and use option "Select" and it will ask for a row number. Type "0" and press Ok. Then press key input and enter "0". If you want to simunlock while you are in the menu (pointless on a CDMA model, those slots are for UICC cards not SIM cards but you may have success on GSM models but might be to get SSU to finish the job on 4.4.2 KK phones. This method works on 5.0 Marshmallow to use LTE from another carrier on the phone to get data and use Google Hangouts Dialer for a phone, etc. ) Redo all of these steps again to get to the menu where tmscdma was and click [9] uicc lock instead. Use the menu to toggle the On switch to Off. If you do not see the menu item, your phone is a CDMA and the slot is not a SIM locked slot, it's an unlocked UICC slot for LTE reception. Your slot is unlocked already, you are good to go. Whoever makes it this far should not be seeing the hands-free activation messages any longer. I hope hope this helps.
