FTF is signed by Sony, no can do! Your stuck unless you can unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
Right lets clear this up a bit. A rom based on KitKat (the last final release by Sony) is a whole different case to porting an entirely new OS version to an unsupported device. The likely hood of getting it to work is debatable and even then it may not work without updated modem/binary files. Try the modem files from CM you'll also find them on github no doubt if you search. Let me know what happens.

Try first removing the modem files from system/etc/firmware first because if it boots then the modem files are the issue, if it does not boot after removing the modem files, the rom may never work on your variant.
[Sony Xperia E3] Aephyon:
I've been running this ROM for a couple of days now and here's a few things I noticed:

It's important to flash gapps before booting the ROM for the first time. This to avoid errors like "Google Play Services has stopped working" etc.

My battery drained in 2-3 hours. After playing around with the Wifi and Location settings and recalibrating the battery everyting went a lot smoother

I haven't managed to get the Youtube app working but this appears to be a problem for many Marshmellow users

I had to unlock my phone multiple times while it's was charging. After re-flashing the ROM the problem was gone.

Overall the ROM is working very smoothly, no lag whatsoever. Personally, not having a camera doesn't bother me since the quality of the D2203's camera isn't that great anyway.
[Sony Xperia E3] LotR656:
Yeah ROM is nice, but no camera when you see something and you want to take a picture is a problem. Phone is a gadget :).

[MENTION=3770888]mikey0000[/MENTION] did you tried to contact some senior dev to answer you a question that you posted on sony's forum? They will explain you way better then me, since I have no idea how to do any of this, plus there is plenty of sony devs here on xda. Also, did you tried to contact this guy to help you to solve some of your problems? He is porting CM for our platform, maybe together we can get what we want. A camera! :)
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
[MENTION=5742814]LotR656[/MENTION] I am well aware of the developers porting for CM and other platforms. The Eagle(D2303) device is the closest to ours and is almost identical. When the camera works for Eagle expect that I will also have something working for Flamingo. There is Erikcas whom is bringing up support for Eagle, once he gets the camera working then we will most likely have something to work with. The camera framework was only released recently please please have some patience! I know everyone wants a working camera, like baking, it will be done when it is done.

If you want any variant supported, post your devices modem files as I asked for the D2202 previously, or pull this rom down and replace the modem files with your variant. If it works woohoo let me know, if not your probably never going to see marshmallow on it.
[Sony Xperia E3] george_sl:
Plz release the .img files

Sorry for bothering, but when will you upload the image files?? I really want to test it <3 :) :good:
[Sony Xperia E3] MasterDomino:
theres downloads section on top of the thread
[Sony Xperia E3] george_sl:
Thanks, I downloaded it, installed it on my device (D2203) and it won't turn on... What to do?

I am using the new bootloader for open devices. Please help...

Thanks!:p
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
erase userdata and cache.

make sure you've flashed the boot img and system img. I might just be taking a while. try seeing if you are in recovery mode and if so run fastboot reboot. Also if you want help please try to be more descriptive than 'it won't turn on...'

I cannot see what steps you've done to get to that state which makes it hard to help you.

e.g 'I pressed the power button for 1 second and it didn't turn on, I checked that it wasn't in fastboot mode, I couldn't get it to boot into recovery mode either' - is far more descriptive and shows you've actually tried before asking for help.

Thank you for stating you are using the new bootloader btw. :)
[Sony Xperia E3] george_sl:
Yeah, I see.

I flashed both boot[19-03] and system[19-03] imgs. I see that the system file name says D2202. Is this why it won't work with D2203??

Also, I have tried both system imgs that were on the downloads page.

Let me explain you the problem.

Firstly, I downloaded the system and boot files from the downloads page.

Then, I connected my phone to flashmode in order to flash the new BL {Used Flashtool, not Emma}

After the process finished, I went ahead and moved the boot and system files to the adb platform-tools folder.

I flashed the Correct files to my phone, although I couldn't find the recovery file, nor the cache one.

After flashing, I disconnected my phone instead of typing

fastboot reboot

(idk if that matters)

I turned on my phone, waited for approximately 10-20 mins until it turns on, but the only thing I saw was a backlit screen. No logos, no anything.

Furthermore, I followed your instructions and checked if it was in fastboot mode or flash mode (or recovery), and the phone wasn't at these modes. Now that I explained you the whole thing, what do you suggest I should do?

Finally, how to erase cache and userdata? I know that there is a userdata file on the old downloads, but I don't see a cache file.

How to erase cache partition? Can you guide me?
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

Yeah the D2202 image would definitely not work on a D2203

The recovery file is in the google drive link or in the forum, I would highly suggest flashing TWRP recovery. I am trying to build an updated TWRP for this device that works better with marshmallow.
[Sony Xperia E3] V1ncent9:
sir if I flashed it replacing the moden file in system in of my d2212 will it work? Do I need to flash a new bootloader?

Can i try it on my d2212 and flash those img? Will it work?
[Sony Xperia E3] D0ngIel:
Hey Guys,

I have a problem again :)

After i managed installing this rom i flashed back stock rom, because the rom didnt worked the way i wanted it. Now i have decided to reinstall this rom, because there where some updates and stock rom is not my favourite. From this pages download section i downloaded the boot file and the system file (D2203). With TWRP i erased the system and i flashed the files from this rom. First boot then system. Of course the phone wasnt able to boot. I tried to flash the open bootloader via emma but emma said, that there are no services for my phone. I downloaded the bootloader from another page and flashed via Flashtool by Androxyde but i still wasnt able to boot up the system. What do i have to do to get the rom working?
[Sony Xperia E3] LotR656:
You dont flash it, it is .img file you need to send it from PC to phone using commands

flashboot system NameOfFile.img

Flashboot boot NameOfFile.img etc.

Look at first page I think there is a correct commands. If you dont find it, PM me and I will explain you. :)
[Sony Xperia E3] D0ngIel:
Yeah i trink this is called flashing. I used fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Sony Xperia E3] V1ncent9:
did it worked for any d2202 user ?
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
Go have a look at how to flash the ASOP enabled bootloader on the sony developer site, make sure you have done that first.

http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
[Sony Xperia E3] angiras:
before going to MM or Lolly you must make backup of TA (Trim Area) to have possibility return back to stock rom

1. open Flashtool

2.connect device to PC

3. Press File>Switch

4.Press Advanced>Trim Area>Backup

file TA be in Flashtool>custom>mydevices

Hi Mikey0000, Thanks for all the work.

Sony has released ( SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_v05a.zip) dated 22 April 2016 (developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/software-binaries-for-aosp-m-android-6-0/)

I know your pinned post has last updated date 20th March.

I was wondering I you knew if camera issue is fixed with the latest AOSP release by Sony ? It mentions "improved" camera functionality but does not have reference to any specific model.
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
No the camera doesn't work yet.
[Sony Xperia E3] george_sl:
When do you think camera will be working?
[Sony Xperia E3] angiras:
on MOTO with qualcom/we had msm ... working

P.S. I hope you opened in kernel Camera/FMRadio in kernel for testing in next buildings of rom for testing/:good:

P.S.S. FMRadio in this moment dont have only sound (in my mode editing by GitHub )
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
Sorry I can't even understand what you've written there. The camera requires support in the kernel and in the drivers. Without both the camera will not work no matter how many times you ask.

I don't use FMRadio so have not tested nor am interested in getting it working. If someone else wants it working go make a pull request with the changes on the sonyxperiadev github projects
[Sony Xperia E3] DeeplBlue:
Ada

Thanks mikey0000.

One more question: is adoptable storage (formatting the external microSD card as internal storage so that apps can be seamlessy installed on it too) working ? I know you stated in pinned post that internal storage working and expanding the storage was your key motivation but just would like to clarify. Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:
Works for me. YMMV
[Sony Xperia E3] mikey0000:

[Sony Xperia E3] george_sl:
It's probably because:

Your device (D2212) isn't compatible with this AOSP, as developers don't (usually) own a dual sim variant.

Even if you had a compatible device (D2202, D2203) you need to flash the new bootloader using Sony's Emma or Flashtool.

what else can I do?

I either end up with a black screen or a reboot loop that goes back to TWRP eventually.
[Sony Xperia E3] LotR656:
You need new bootloader to install first and you will not get black screen. There is a topic to download new bootloader and flash it using community flashtool or download offcial xperia flashtool called Emma and flash it.

Hey there,

i have a Problem with this Rom: I installed the open bootloader and flashed all three files via fastboot. Then i installed opengapps via TWRP. Then i started the devide and some seconds later the Screen turned on and i saw the Android m boot Animation. This procces took very Long and the screen got brighter and darker. Then after 3 Minutes i saw Android is starting and the phone started optimizing. After finishing all 81 apps it said apps are staring and the circle freezes. Then the device simply reboots and everything starts again.

I had an earlier Version of the Rom working on my phone does anybody has an older Version to reupload or can anybody help me with that Problem?
