Thank you for replying

He said before that he put to enter the Fast Mode

Phone will be closed completely and then pressing the volume up button and then put Link

usb

This is what he did until noon blue light in the top left

Lighted remained stable without closing

Then you open the program flashmode

And pressed the button BLU As I mentioned in the explanation of the program, but it gave me a message that appear in the image that I've seen

If the phone was put on FASTMODE While connected to the program

Even after the appearance of the letter you disconnect the phone and reconnect to develop FASTMODE

And you open the program FLASHTOOL Even before entering the put FASTMODE

But he gave me the same message that appears in the picture the past also again

Do you think that the phone can not be opened or what
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
FASTBOOT and FLASHMODE are two different modes.

volUP + connecting USB = FASTBOOT mode

volDN + connecting USB = FLASHMODE

while you're unlocking bootloader with minimal adb and fastboot, you need to connect phone in FASTBOOT mode.

while you're unlocking bootloader with flashtool, you need to connect phone in FLASHMODE.

Enter FLASHMODE and try unlocking with flashtool.

TowelRoot was the easiest way for me to root my phone and later you can download superSU from play store to manage root privilege apps.

I tried to install BPaul's 5.1.1 Beta 2 like several times now and I did follow the guide accordingly but it always shows this status 7 error saying that this is a Nozomi not a Hikari(in CWM). (But I do use a XAS LT26W :rolleyes: ). So I rolled back to Beta 1 again. Could anybody tell me where did I go wrong?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Did you flashed fota kernel+cwm before flashing actual ROM through recovery?

PS: the updated kernel is just for xperia S and ION.

Problem

I successfully backuped the rom, but after that I can't get my phone out of recovery mode. It just reboots to sony logo with the magenta light and then turns off. Also when I am in recovery mode I startup adb and fastboot and type in the command "adb shell" and after that the command "su" and get this message:

[IMG="su not found"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51835154/sunotfound.png[/IMG]

Or is there another way to do the last part?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You are doing it wrong buddy.

Maybe you wiped your system or you must be in bootloop.

(try wiping cache+dalvic cache)

While you are in recovery, the command you typed will not work as it requests for SU. Your phone must be ON and Rooted.

If you have backedup your stock ROM, try to restore it.

Also your phone needs to be rooted for further process.

AND Beta2 version works only when you flash it over Beta1.

Regards,

hitman-xda
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
I'll try that, but I was following your guide every step. Thanks.

Yes it seems to be in a boot loop (I can still access recovery mode). Wiped cache+dalvic cache and restored ROM from recovery mode, but still in loop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
After restoring, try factory resetting through recovery.

It seems to be strange behavior of your phone. Never heard such case.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
Still nothing.

Everything worked fine until I got to the part where I'm supposed root my phone after backingup ROM. Then it started the bootloop, with the magenta light and SONY logo.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
After backing up your stock ROM, did you restarted your phone??

OR

After taking backup, your phone started bootloop?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
After I backedup my ROM and exited recovery mode my phone started boot loop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Well, you have a good news as well as a bad news.

Bad news is that you don't have a working stock ROM.

AND

Good news is that your phone has working recovery, that means you can flash other custom ROMs.

The situation should not happen.

By just taking a backup, a phone doesn't suffers from a bootloop.

Probability is that ,You either wiped system or something such and then backup your ROM.

If you want your phone back to life, you can flash different ROM through recovery OR you can flash stock ftf files through flashtool.

Decide and let me know.

But first, again try to restore your backup. This time try wiping cache+dalvic cache+system+factory reset and then restore backup. Luckily if it works.

Regards,

hitman-xda
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
I tried the "wiping cache+dalvic cache+system+factory reset and then restore backup", and it's still in a loop.

Are you saying it's possible to flash the BPauls lollipop ROM through recovery or stock ROM? Either way I'd like to try to flash a different ROM through recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
No! You can't flash stock ROM through recovery and also BPaul's ROM.

'I THINK' BPaul's ROM could not be flashed over other ROMs rather than stock ROM (according to other users comments).

As recently your phone is without any ROM, I suggest you to flash MOKEE ROM through your recovery.(FOR TEMPORARILY). So that you can use your phone for some days And after that you proceed.

I used every ROM available for Acro S and I found Mokee is the best.

Yeah it has some major bugs but still it can be used as a daily driver.

Regards,

hitman-xda
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
After I flash MOKEE ROM through recovery, can I then proceed to flash BPauls ROM, or do I have to wait a few days?

(Sorry I'm making this hard for you, I just want to learn and fix my phone. Everything you're telling me is incredible appreciated)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
I don't think so. Some people over here said that BPaul's ROM can be flashed over stock ROM only!

If you want to use the ONLY lollipop, then you must flash stock ROM (ftf) then follow the guide from beginning.

Just be frank buddy. Ask any question I'm here for you. I'll try to answer your every question ;)

Sincerely Thanks to BPaul for this awesome ROM and I like it. Thanks & credited to all your hard work for not giving up on this phone.

2ndly, Thanks to you hitman-xda!

I couldn't have done it without your Step-by-Step Tutorial.

By the way, the DD method from the step below didn't work for me which may resulted with Error 7 (Something like the Zip is only build for Nozomi).

So, my solution is flash the hikari-fota_CWM.img using Flashtool. Then, proceed to the next step.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
The error was noticed by many user.

Accordingly, the Beta2 version is actually needed to flash over Beta1 version.

If your phone don't have B1 version, you'll face the error. If you are still struck at the same step, I suggest you to first flash B1 version and then follow the same guide, And you'll be succeeded.

I haven't tasted it as It must be having everything in Chinese, even recovery. I think it must be jelly bean.

Also, recently I am on 2G internet connection, So I want to avoid downloads.

You can use it and post test results here.

It is simple to flash. Just clean install it via recovery. You should give it a try.

*PRO Tip

Usually latest versions are better (not always). Lollipop has a great colour contrast and amazing material design which makes it unique android version.

Is it not a rec kernel?

step1. Into the rec and install zip.

I installed the ROM successful...

but when i restart my phone after installed ,

system was lost rec....

why??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You are talking about BPaul's ROM right?

In Beta1 ROM we need to flash recovery individually

AND

In Beta2, recovery is associated with fota kernel.

Did you followed every step carefully or you just flashed zip?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] myoh777:
Yes I'm talking about BPaul's B2 ROM ..

maybe I just flashed Beta 2..not over Beta 1....?

I usually flash zip after 3wipe in v4.1.2,if the kernel(boot.img) contains rec,I can into recovery when system restart,

or ignore that and into android os.

If the kernel havn't rec,I just use the sony's flashtool to flash kernel in flashboot.

now the phone's os is normally,just only no recovery function when system start.

by the way,when I typed command - adb shell in "Minimal ADB and Fastboot",it displayed error:device not found. why?

I already checked my phone's usb connection.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You were supposed to flash it over Beta1 version.

Anyway, just flash Beta1 ROM through flashtool without recovery and after that check weather 'adb shell' works.

If its working fine, then follow further steps for Beta2 version.

Sorry for asking too many questions. Hehe.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Flash the recovery. It goes to FOTA partition. You'll need it.

For the first time, it'll take around 15min and then apps optimization starts.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schizoprenic:
Oh, I didn't know about FOTA partition.

I have successfully flashed the AOSP ROM, any chance I can flash the fota recovery without repeating the whole process?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Answer few questions!

Does your phone have recovery?

Is external sd card working?

If not, try flashing the fota kernel Directly. You no need to go back and start from beginning.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schizoprenic:
Yes mate, I do have a recovery and external card is working.

This is what I have done previously:

1. Put ROM, GApps, and fota kernel in internal sd.

2. Flash ROM and GApps using my TWRP.

After the ROM was flashed, my TWRP was replaced by CWM recovery. My guess is, the FOTA image was flashed, but I might be wrong.

I have read some about fota partition, I think I have an idea what good it can do.

Basically you can choose which recovery you want to use. The FOTA ramdisk is used instead of the ramdisk in the boot image. Then the FOTA ramdisks decides which recovery to use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You're right!

If everything works fine, no need to flash it again!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schizoprenic:
Thanks mate! How about sending file via bluetooth?
