[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] you do amazing job by creating up-to-date android for the xperia 2011 line, it works quite well on such an old device, it is not my daily driver phone for now but i have followed your nigthlies since ~4.4 (maybe even earlier)

There are some screenshots from coconut (WT19i) for xda community:

drive.google.com open?id=0B0hAb88KrsdiWTloSDZ5aXhsdkE

(add slash to link - my account is quite fresh here)

Installed without any trouble from windows 10 (as always, one change was usage of adb sideload)

I can test any app if somebody would want to (pokemon go crashes because of low ram capacity :D IMHO )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
Heum. . I think you have to change your second partition of sd card. . Dont use ext format, . But use fat32, stock roms not support ext partition
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Markoz88:
I tried with ext2, and it worked ;)

Thanks anyway!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] janolucero:
i'm the only one that check this tread every day to see if it's updated?

:(

Anyway, great rom, im using it on my Xperia Play just to play games on emulators and works awesome :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
I've changed the updater script and it should work with toybox/cm-13.0 (attached zip).

But first, try to turn off ZRAM through the terminal and see how would the OS behave.

swapoff /dev/block/zram0

Here it is Sign-em! - the .bat script for Windows.

P.S.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:

No you are not alone :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BiCi@ZiZillA:
Thanks a lot, I'll try them both.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShamblerDK:
ROM is running rather slow for me, but that's because I got a slow SD-card. It's quite stable.

Only reason I upgraded my Arc, was because I wanted to test if the newest Android would actually run on "ancient" hardware. I am hereby declaring the test a success :)

I've actually had two phones since; Z1 and now I am on Z5 Premium. The 4K playback looks amazing on the 4K display. With a 4K MHL adapter, it looks awesome on a 4K TV as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daffa arkan:
cm 13 on se wt19i,, help me pleas...

how to keep the memory partitions can be divided into internal and external,,,

when the SD card partition , i created two partitions , 1. partition unformat , 2. fat32 format ,, but that happened my HH just read that unformat!!!???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaito_kid:
No way. . The instruction clear. .

Make sure your sd crd in one partition
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sudheerkdty:
Yes it was hardware issue

As you said, it was a hardware issue.

Now my touch is not working properly.

it is not much responsive now and bottom part is not working.. and has ghost touches at times.

should i have to replace the whole touch screen to fix this issue?

thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JimmyRay:
I'm afraid I don't know.

Honestly speaking, I would consider replacing the phone. The Ray is not rare, and relatively inexpensive.

My phone is SK17i. Cellular data doesn't work for me so I want to reinstall the ROM. However I can't boot into recovery, even factory reset is not working either. What should I do now? :(

Hey guys. Great work

i have a problem here .

I'v changed cm-13.0-20160227-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-haida.zip to Update.zip and no change to HDPI_miniGAPPS-6.0-20160619-tb-signed.zip name then copy to SD Card

flashed Stock rom with correct build of 587 then Flashed kernel (included in package) Boot.img via fastboot .

i tried to go To recovery mod and i stuck with Cyanogenmod recovery here .

i did all formats and wipes but still cant Apply update . can someone help me here and tell me what's wrong ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Aman301582:
You can't flash cm13 from sd card (1st time only), you need to install via adb.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h.t3rrible@gmail.com:
I'v installed Rom and everything is fine now . with ADB sideload

i want to install xposed framework for my Neo V Device . can some one help me ? may i install this mod via adb sideload too ?

because i tried THIS Thread but i stuck at boot loop so i have to flash uninstaller to get out of that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Yusumaru Reiga:
Hi everybody, I have a problem with bluetooth.

I can't search any other bluetooth and it can't pair too. It say "searching" forever and it cant be done.

Please give me a solution how to fix it.

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Aman301582:
Its not a boot loop :P . It takes almost an hour when booting 1st time after installing xposed. So install xposed before sleeping (via adb or directly through phone). Someone already mentioned this, you should search. Cheers!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kong2000:

I suggest you to flash cm11 kernel and check if the touchscreen works with cwm recovery. If not - it's a time to switch to a newer smartphone because, trust me, you dont want to pay for a new touch :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
Hello, I'm trying to flash the latest CM13 build for iyokan i.e. MK16i (namely cm-13.0-20160418-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-iyokan.zip) and I'm stuck on the part where I'm supposed to sideload the actual rom. I'm on Windows 7, by the way. I follow the guide, access recovery and connect the phone, but for the life of me I can't get adb to recognize it!

"adb devices" returns just an empty list

"adb sideload XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" returns "device '(null)' not found"

Googling this, the only thing that sticks out is some people discussing driver issues on Nexus devices. But despite reinstalling the Xperia Pro drivers multiple times, it just doesn't work! (I've tried official sony site, the drivers from flashtool-drivers.exe, and even one other from some semi-shady third party website in desperation) the Device Manager just keeps on flashing the annoying yellow exclamation triangle entry "MK16i" under "Other devices" and I can't do anything with it. Also connecting it stock and in fastboot always worked without any issue, I've even connected it in flashboot from cold start and it "installed drivers succesfully" and yet the Device Manager entry stays the same. What is going on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
I'm not sure about Windows 7, but in Windows 8 and 10 you need to disable driver signature verification in order to install them properly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
It (flashtool-drivers.exe) gave me about three messages about the unverified drivers, but there was an "install anyway" option on each. Could it still have caused issues this way? Also, which are the "correct" drivers to use for MK16i?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
Have a look at flashtool's website for instructions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
The flashtool website doesn't even seem to specifically refer to the driver package anywhere in the docs.

I haven't attempted to install the rom via flashtool though, I'm following the github guide to a T so I haven't touched flashtool other than trying the drivers when others have failed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
Does ADB see your phone when properly booted up in CM (not in recovery)?

Does your phone have a question mark or exclamation mark in the Device Manager?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
Can you boot into flashmode?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
I can't boot into CM because I'm trying to install it :angel:

My bootloader is unlocked and I have the CM13 kernel, which (unless I access recovery or fastboot) just keeps bootlooping, which makes sense since it doesn't have the OS yet. This was my first experience with Cyanogen recovery and if it had an " install from zip" option then I could probably try avoiding having to sideload stuff via adb, but alas. (Is there a CM13 kernel for iyokan with CWM?)

And it's a yellow triangle with a "!" in Device manager.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
I haven't used Windows 7 for a while, but I believe that the exclamation mark means there is a problem communicating with the device, such as no driver. I would suggest installing CM11 and checking if you can access the device via ADB when CM11 is running. I seem to remember that I had to manually configure the driver in order for ADB to work in recovery as well. Also, make sure you are using the latest version of ADB; older versions won't work with CM13.

Are you sure there is no 'Install zip' in the CM13 recovery? I don't use CM13 but I don't think it would make sense to discontinue this feature. If it turns out that it is possible to flash zips, boot up a live linux distro, insert your SD in a reader, format it to ext4/f2fs, copy the ROM to it, insert SD in your device, and flash zip in recovery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
The feature isn't "discontinued" because this is CyanogenMod Recovery, which is a different thing from CWM and TWRP. Why it's being used instead of either of the latter I don't know, but I've looked three times over all the options and there's no "install from zip", Google suggests that it never had such a feature. I've stuck the zip on the SDcard (in a glimmer of hope that maybe adb is confused and is looking for its zip on the SDcard) and haven't figured out how to install it from there.

I could try getting CM11 but I'm skeptical, I'm going to end up using the same drivers for phone and ADB anyway, how will it help?

My ADB version is 1.0.32 which isn't the newest, but it already has CM13 support, and the LegacyXperia Marshmallow guide even mentions it by number.

I'm pretty sure I just have a bad driver. But I'm clueless which one to use, or how to install it for that matter (Device manager is incredibly *****y about installing anything manually instead of from an executable).

Guide adb+fastboot without disable driver signature

This guide only for windows user and want to install cm13 via adb sideload

1. Download from this link and read the instruction or watch the video tutorials. (Don't forget to press thanks button for developer)

2. Open adb-setup-1.4.3.exe and click yes/allow every choice

3. Swith on "adb debugging" from your phone

4. Run flashtool and open device manager

5. In device manager, right click on device which your OS didn't recognize it >update driver software>browse my computer for driver software>let me pick from a list....>select Android Device>select "Android ADB Interface">next>yes OK...Now flashtool recognize your phone

6. Reboot your phone to bootloader

7. In device manager, right click on device which your OS didn't recognize it>update driver software>browse my computer for driver software>let me pick from a list....>select Android Device>select "Android Bootloader Interface">next>yes OK...Now flashtool recognize your phone

8. Flash boot.img include in the zip and done

9. Reboot your phone to recovery

10. Apply update from sideload

11. In device manager, right click on device which your OS didn't recognize it>update driver software>browse my computer for driver software>let me pick from a list....>select Android Device>select "Android Composite ADB Interface">next>yes

12. Check adb devices via cmd

13. Enjoy flashing :good: :)

Note:

*address for adb folder is C:\adb so make sure cm13 rom+gapps already in the adb folder

*after open cmd type this>>>>>>cd C:\adb
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vikusz:
From my experience, ADB works nicely CM is running, while it may require tweaking the Device manager to get it working in recovery. I am pretty sure the phone report itself differently in the two scenarios which may be the difference between Windows recognizing or not recognizing the device. Hence my suggestion of trying ADB with fully operational CM.

Sorry about the recovery-flash-zip idea then, I thought that's a basic feature of every recovery. Do you also need to sideload when updating the ROM?

Your ADB version should be good.

I seem to remember that someone has posted a guide to install CM13 (and gapps) without ADB. Try searching this thread.

edit: Can't find the post now, but maybe you could flash the CM11 kernel, install the CM13 zips from the SD card, flash CM13 kernel, restore factory defaults/format data and cache, make sure the SD is formatted to ext4/f2fs. Not sure if this is viable, though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] geos_one:
install howto from zip (requires Linux)

this howto depends on linux

howto for install from zip

format sdcard partion 1 with f2fs

mkfs.f2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

then mount the the mmc

mkdir /tmp/mmc
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/mmc

then create the media mount point

mkdir /tmp/mmc/media

and finally copy the firmware zip to this directory

cp zip-path/.....zip /tmp/mmc/media/

now sync and unmount

sync
sync
umount /tmp/mmc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] turbo_coccotte:
Okay, decided to do this. The card was already in f2fs, but I've reformatted it anyway. Right now it's been 5 minutes since bootup and it's still on the "LegacyXperia" splash screen... is it stuck or should I wait some more? How long is the first boot supposed to take with CM13?

EDIT: update... still nothing

EDIT2: FINALLY GOT IT! So I've restarted the phone into recovery once more, and apparently there IS a zip install feature in Cyanogenmod Recovery after all! But the naming got me confused... something like "Using emulated"? (it was below Apply update > Apply from ADB... if somebody from the CM13 team ever reads this I'd recommend picking a more suggestive name for the option) It recognized the zip file on the SDcard and managed to install straight from it. So apparently the linux install procedure only copied the zip file again without installing it? Regardless, thanks for all the help guys, it works great! (until the bugs happen, at least...)

What custom recovery can I install to my Arc S in order to flash the files?

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Full Disclosure: Sorry I haven't messed around with custom roms in a long time (Excuse my idiocy). I just want to be able to get this rom working on my Arc S by the end of this weekend.

I'm looking at the directions and I have a few questions:

"Steps required for correct installation (order is important):

1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery

2 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:

fastboot erase system

3: Enter recovery

4: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)

5: Flash update zip

6: Flash gapps"

A few questions:

-How do I reboot into recovery/fastboot/bootloader on an Arc S?

-Do i need a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) in order to flash the boot image?

-Post said I needed a custom kernal, how do I install the custom kernal?

-Also some basic info about ADB would be appreciated!

I just need the basic information to get up to speed and I should be set....

I was making a partition with the soft, after all I still ended up with CM logo bootlooops every time.

When card was unformatted or not recognized by phone, erasing it via phone settings usually was helping.

I'm done for now.

Your card is dead. Its because you use ext4 file system. I got 2 cards with this problem. So buy a new one, man.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Yes, you need to format your card, because cm13 use 1 partition for all card. Make one partition with ext4 file system, but better is keep it unformatted (in minitool partition wizard delete all partitions and create new one and choose unformatted) and in cm13 recovery while you will do a factory reset, it will format your sd to f2fs file system. F2fs is much better then ext4.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
You need to flash the Boot.img via fastboot. To enter fast boot hold volume down and plug the USB cable in the PC and then while holding volume down into the phone. The recovery is included in the boot.img. The boot.img is included in the zip file.

Watch some tutorials on YouTube to get basic ADB knowledge ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Which type of partition you made. When you made a partition and keep it unformatted CM 13 recovery convert it in f2fs so Pc don't recognize the memory card but you can still use in phone as internal memory.If you want to use memory card out of your phone you have to reformat your card.

* cannot read 'update.zip' *
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Are you sure you have the ROM renamed to "update.zip"? It should also be in the fastboot folder
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vipinrahul:
Guys, i did a silly mistake and have corrected it. I will tell what the problem was...it may help others having similar issues

The ROM that we download is already in zip format. Meaning it has a .zip attached to the filename. Hence when you rename this file, just say update or whatever name you prefer. Do not use update.zip or "the name you choose.zip". This will cause the problem. Just rename the file without any file extensions and it will work fine :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
