Do you know the hidden button beside sim tray? If not then open it you'll see off switch. Press and hold for 2secs. Now phone is switched off. Try now.
[Sony Xperia M2] Sidow:
Yeah i mean, i can turn the phone off. I press n hold the volume - button to flash, after jsut a few seconds, the flashing progres stops, these are the last 5 lines:

11/024/2015 21:24:53 - INFO - Max packet size set to 512K

11/024/2015 21:24:54 - INFO - Parsing boot delivery

11/024/2015 21:24:54 - INFO - Ending flash session

11/024/2015 21:24:54 - ERROR -

11/024/2015 21:24:54 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted.

And i just can't get it to work, i already tried reinstalling drivers and everything. One thing i'm sure, it's not the flashmode, because it does starts flashing, it must be something else.
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
AFAIK, i made ftf via flashtools of lollipop. While flashing, it always aborted at loader.sin. i thought there was something missing in ftf. But recently i tried it once again. I press the volume down and keep it down for a longer duration. This fixed for me. Just try it.
[Sony Xperia M2] Sidow:
No luck yet, i press and hold the button while connecting, after that i keep it pressed. And it stills abort. This is pretty stressing, there must be a way to fix it! I read something about the new fsc script for newer devices, that it might bring issues when flashing older ones, do you think that could be it? I've never had issues with this flashtool version (0.9.19.3)

*EDIT*

I was finally able to flash it!! I downgraded flashtool to 0.9.18.6 and for some reason (maybe the fsc script) it worked! Anyway thanks for your help man, now to back installing Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. :good:
[Sony Xperia M2] FrWhyMe:
Use Flashtool 1.9.18 , i had the same issue (won't parse boot.delivery) , it fixes it . If you get another error after flashing "assmg2" or something named like that , delete fwinfo.xml and re-bundle the ROM via Flashtool and re-flash it .
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
Glad it helped.
[Sony Xperia M2] Sidow:
Yeah that flashtool version worked! Thanks bro! :good:
[Sony Xperia M2] gabivarzan:
I have installed this version and none of the bugs from the original 5.1.1. are present anymore.

Plus, the rom is very lite, so the phone is very fast.

Love it! Thanks guys for making this version!

I'm currently working on fixing all of this little issues for the upcoming release 4.5b2 (second beta), now that've finished all my exams.

If you want to get beta releases, I remember you'll all need to set up an AndroidFileHost account and follow me in order to add you to the beta group. As of right now we are 18 people.

And, as I said a week or so ago, it'll probably be released next week.

Ty for hard work.This rom is awesome and it's fix one big problem i had on stock rom with backlight.On stock i had backlight flickering almost invisible but so annoying especially with gray color.But in z5 style i don't have such problem.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
That happens to me from time to time! To invoke it, just force reboot your phone, with a paperclip in the simtray hole, and it'll start flickering when you turn it back on. Do you own a 0x0800 screen?
[Sony Xperia M2] sub1zero:
No i have 0x0A00 aqua model.After upgrade to 5.1.1 flickering start on gray especially.After flashing this rom it's gone and now is evrything fine.

Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. 4.5b2-r2 release

Hi dear XDA friends.

After lots of headaches and problems... I've just finished the new beta, the 4.5b2-r2 release!

I'm very glad to introduce to you it's new features:

New installer! Now it detects what Xperia M2 model you own (No needs of any extra patches!) - Plus, it directly installs for you latest MultiRecovery compilation (MR0.8b), RIC Defeat, and SuperSU, just in case you need it.

New launcher! Launcher has been updated to 10.0.A.0.5, featuring more translations, and some other cool features (plus, sliding down from home screen to show search has been disabled)

Some apps where restored back too! Per suggestion of some users, Email and Internet (Sony's stock web browser) are back, and, Small apps theme has been changed to Z5 style.

Clock style has been changed! Both the homescreen widget and the lockscreen one use bold font ONLY for hours. Now looks cleaner.

Some camera optimizations! Now you can choose 5MPx too in Manual & SuperiorAuto mode, plus, some random crashes such as turning on video mode from the lockscreen have been fixed. (MANY MANY THANKS to @boyrock for this! Go thank him!)

Sound quality has been improved, using my own 'Headphone-quality-mod'.

However, I've been receiving emails complaining that APNs are not working properly yet. I've realized you need to have a working WiFi connection AND R2R (aka Ready To Run) should have updated the list of parameters from your network operator... So if that doesn't happens, then nothing to do. I still have no idea how to force R2R to use latest lists instead of the ones that come prebundled on the device, so... Configure manually if that doesn't happens.

DOWNLOAD: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24344671467602260 (See below before complaining!)

Remember that if you want to try it, you need to join the beta group. You've more info here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64232607&postcount=277

Lastly, I just wanted to let you know I'll be very busy until february or so, until I finish my End-of-term exams, from now on. I'll carefully read all your emails, with all your suggestions for next release 4.5b3, but please, excuse me in case I reply to you (very) late.

Oh... And Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Well done bro!

I am just wondering, will you release the new MultiRecovery soon or when you finish your exams?

Anyways great job. :)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Use-less. Deleted.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Well, until we finish the new TWRP you can simply use 0.8C, which is a pre-release BTW.

[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION]

Should i wipe data before installing 4.5b2? I am on v4.0
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Yeah, [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] how do update to the beta? Repeat the install process (flash ftf, flash the ROM) etc or do I just flash the beta zip?

Also I can't download internet and MMS settings :/
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Hi,

You can install it on top of current installation, whether it's stock, a Gaurav's deodexed rom, or an earlier release... But, if something goes wrong, you'll have to repeat install process by flashing an ftf as you said.

Regarding INTERNET/MMS, please re-read the '4.5b2 release' post. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, depending if R2R (ready to run) downloads the proper apn lists instead of the ones that come prebundled with Sony's firmware. You'll need a WiFi connection to do so. Once with wifi, it works fine for me.
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I can now confirm that you can dirty flash the beta without any problems!

Also I tried everything with the internet settings, still no luck, should I change the base FTF?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Maybe. I've no exact idea why for some people work, but for some don't.
[Sony Xperia M2] Matze6989:
The new Vision is great. But the auto APN download is not working her with wifi.

Edit: The volume is so perfect
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
Guys, what's the big deal with auto apn downloading?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I know right? [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] the volume is awesome, good job fixing it!
[Sony Xperia M2] Matze6989:
Everyone wants to use Auto Brightness should rather use this app instead of lux. The runs much better with me.

Small apps are bloat,can you make flash zip to remove small apps.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
Delete manually?
[Sony Xperia M2] sub1zero:
I know how to remove small apps but for regular user there is too much entries to remove.
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Not really, just go to system/app and delete anything that says smallapps or something relevant, after that just reboot.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Lots of people complained before that they were bloatware. I removed them.

Now some said that they used them everyday and that's something very important to them. I moved them back.

Now again complains about bloatware.

WTF SHOULD I DO?!
[Sony Xperia M2] sub1zero:
Put them in rom but if you can make flash zip to completely remove them.It's only mine opinion.

Or make zip to flash them so if someone need small apps he can optionaly to flash them.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
I think you should use aroma, and ask what mods, themes, apps , etc to be install.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Yeah... When I finished 4.5b2 I was looking some Aroma threads, but I didn't pay enough attention to them... I'll consider it.
[Sony Xperia M2] sub1zero:
Does someone have idea why i can't flash xposed.When i try to flash zip (official) i have error.

#LastTimeUpgrade - Z5 STYLE Beta 2 (Release 2)

Hi guys...

I've compiled one last time before leaving temporarily the project, until I finish my exams... This time I'm not going to request you, or force you to install this update since it's just minor for newbies.

It contains YAAB (Yet Another AutoBrightness) instead of Lux, by petition of many of you, and it does not contain MultiRecovery, but at least now SuperSU flashing is built-in the ZIP.

Enjoy it if you decide to flash it.

[Sony Xperia M2] psichokillah:
Important info I discovered after leaving TWRP for 2303.

Sometimes the phone won't get past the animation and it will stay there for a very long time or it will reset again and again and again. Press the turn off button with something sharp on the right and the phone will start normally. Technically, you should let it install after it has been flashed, and after, let's say 5-10 minutes, force turn it off and it should work.

I had to flash the same thing 3-4 times in a row to figure it out.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
Damn i figured now why I'm didn't boot after add a new system app, thanks for info!

There's an update of firmware. Some says it fix the camera. Maybe I'll skip the current beta and wait for the update of firmware for this rom. Thanks for your work.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
You asked it, you get it.

[FLASHABLE] Camera Blobs + Morpho Settings from 18.6.A.0.182

This can be installed on top of current installations, so, this means that

if you are currently on Z5 S.T.Y.L.E.

4.0 (or any 4.5 beta),

you can flash and it'll fix the camera as if you had flashed 18.6.A.0.182

.

Of course, if you want,

you can flash a .182 FTF when they become available

and then,

install Z5 S.T.Y.L.E. on top of it

- it should work just fine, and

as camera is already fixed

,

then there's nothing extra to do

;)

Dear linuxct first i want to excuse because my question it is not about you rom, but i need a help and i don't find answer in section for xposed framework.

I falsh xposed from rovo (on flashing everything is ok), reboot and phone start to loading, show me a first screen after that screen server with starting music and few second after that screen it freezing, reboot but i have bootlop. Using a recovery and zip for uninstalling a xposed phone start normally, update all application and working normally. So my question it's when you do it your rom make some fixing for xposed to work normally and if it yes did you tell me to try on my phone. Thank you in advance :)

Before adding this lines my iowait was 30% +

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Flash a stock FTF again - the RIC Disabler installer can't find the SCSI module to patch itself (wp_mod.ko).

They're added by default, of course. And some other tricks by [MENTION=4590098]Miche1asso[/MENTION] are added too, like FStrim to boost your nand ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] sub1zero:
Before adding this lines my swqpiness was 100 and iowait was 30%+. After i add them swappiness is 60 and iowait is 3-7%. I find only fstrim in your init.d
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Yup. The default swappiness seems to be too aggressive. I did many tests and as soon as I restore the stock values the IO wait in my phone jumps to 40-50% (but I have many apps). I did some leaving the default values and in the long run with the phone under charging (thus never sleeping) and not touching it the most used frequency was 787MHz (which means the IO wait was low most of the time), but again that was without using the phone.

Still in my opinion something is wrong with the virtual memory module of the kernel. In the past I enabled the zram in my custom kernel for my old phone and I had the same issues. Then I modified the zram module (getting the code from some other kernel) and the IO wait went down to near zero. Obviously the difference in lag was immediate.
