Doubts - sd card - cm13 - smultron

smultron - cm13

- using class 10 SanDisk Ultra microSDHC 16GB 48MB/S UHS-I Card

- installation over, booting process over

- beginning guide starts, i clicked next, the phone turns very slow for 1min.

- after it came to normal and finished guide successfully

- And the phone is too smooth and fast with fresh installation + MDPI_miniGAPPS-6.0-20160311-tb-signed.zip.

- so my sd card speed test result shown below.

- is this speed enough for cm13.

- LX wiki sd card tuning guide is difficult to understand, please somebody make a video tutorial or easy guide...........
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
What was the previous version of CM on your Live with Walkman before you flash the CM13 boot.img? Was it CM12?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ptamigi:
no it was cm11
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I think you should try to re-flash boot.img again and see if you could re-produce this issue. And also please attach ADB log to see if fastboot successfully flash the boot.img or not.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] filjusz:
After installing Xposed, I have to wait 40/50 mins to complete boot, so just wait e.g 1 hour and everything should be ok ;)

Where can I find stock .587?

all uploads that were linked in xda threads I found have been taken down already :/

including the ones listed here:

https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/How-to-Go-Back-to-Stock

I only found http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/15-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s-lt18

and there only the mirror still works (Google Docs)

Is this source trustworthy?

the checksums of the file are:

File: LT18i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf

CRC-32: 4465ed4a

MD4: bec28c39d1d6bb60f9d77bcda37c20fd

MD5: 87ba4dbd674bd68b46b1b2a540efaffd

SHA-1: 61012db2df5fb9af57657d4eb9a5593bf4b7ee32

If one of you still has the ftf lying around, then I would be very greatful if you could compare it's checksums to mine or upload it somewhere again :highfive:

Thanks in advance!

Or is it enough to flash the .77 baseband?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688049

Afaik this ROM changes a lot about the partitioning layout anyways, so maybe there is no issue there?

I've got the 56 baseband installed right now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] umaturman:
You can just flash the baseband :) Do not forget to format the /system and /cache partitions from the CM13 bootimage and it will be good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dj_Fex:
ok thx for clarifying that :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulholland:
I have a LT18i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf which yields the same md5.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dj_Fex:
thx for letting me know :)

btw. I'm using the flashtool

if I flash the firmware I obviously have to use the flashmode, but which mode do I need for flashing the baseband only?

flashmode or fastboot?

EDIT:

ok I found out it's only possible in flashmode anyways

though I now cannot flash it because I always get the following error message:

21/024/2016 23:24:32 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pierpo84:
Hello everyone! First of all, many thanks to Mike for his constant work with the old Xperia.

I used a microSD 16GB Class 4, although the entire system is quite stable and fairly fast.

I want to help those who have problems with the installation with a step-by-step guide:

1 - make sure you have the

latest firmware

(MT11i is 4.1.A.0.562) and the

latest baseband

(MT11i is 77)

2 - download

Android SDK

and install from SDK Manager both Platform Tools and Google Drivers

3 - flash the kernel:

** 3.1 - open ROM zip (don't extract)

** 3.2 - extract

ONLY

boot.img in

platform-tools

folder of Android SDK

** 3.3 - turn off the phone

** 3.4 - connect your phone to the PC in

fastboot mode

(for MT11i hold the

menu

button while connect USB cable to PC)

** 3.5 - open the command prompt from platform-tools folder

** 3.6 - on command prompt write: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img

** 3.7 - when complete, disconnect the phone

4 - enter the recovery: turn on the phone and continually press both vol+ and vol- buttons

5 - when you are in recovery, select Factory Reset

6 - select Full Factory Reset (it will wipe system and format microSD with F2FS file system)

7 - select Wipe Cache Partition

8 - go back to main menu, select Advanced, then Wipe System Partition

9 - go back to main menu, select Apply Update

10 -

make sure you have installed ADB Drivers

, then connect phone to PC (make sure there's no adb.exe process running!!!)

11 - select Apply From ADB (wait for the system install the drivers)

12 - copy the ROM and GApps in the

platform-tools

folder

13 - on command prompt write: adb sideload [

rom

-name] .zip

14 - wait for the operation (in case of errors, repeat from step 5)

15 - at the end, rerun from step 11 (make sure there's no adb.exe process running!!!)

16 - on command prompt write: : adb sideload [

gapps

-name] .zip

17 - wait for the operation (in case of errors, repeat from step 5)

18 - completed the flash, go back to main menu and select Reboot System Now

Enjoy!

Just one question: I noticed that in /system partition there are about 228 MB free.

It's really necessary to use the microSD as internal memory?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TomTomcrafter001:
Add this line to /system/build.prop:

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-flags=--no-watch-dog

[Xperia Arc Android Development] curiousde2002:
First of all thanks a lot for this guide!

My MT15i is presently on CM11 legacy xperia and now I like to try CM13.

To get to the latest firmware (I know I also need 4.1.A.0.562 for my MT15i) on my phone, is it enough to just flash the .ftf file with flashtool and thus all the partitioning I did for CM11 is back to stock?

So there is no "shortcut" from CM11 to CM13? :D

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Flashtool 0.9.19.10 is available and it has fixed the issue mentioned http://www.xperiablog.net/page/2/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pierpo84:
The answer is in the first post:

I don't believe there are faster ways to move from CM11 to CM13, simply because it use two different types of partitioning, so you need to install everything on a clean system.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] esemef:
Just flashing the baseband is probably a bad idea. A lot of people downloaded a later urushi baseband without realising that it was made for a different region of their phone, different regions support different standards so you might end up with less coverage.

If your partitions aren't correct then you'll get issues.

There is an option in Flashtool to download ftf. You can usually use one from a different country without any problem, as long as it's in the same region. The latest baseband for that region will be in the latest firmware for that region.

AFAIK you only need to do it once as long as you don't then flash an older ftf, however if you are unsure what state your partitions are in then there is no harm in flashing the latest ftf. What partitioning did you do for CM11 that you think might affect it?

Hello

I am having the problem on my mini pro with cm13 where I often get some text messages arriving twice (as in getting a new notification for the same one).

I already checked the sim in a dumb phone, so it is not a problem with my carrier.

Today also some messages showed up 'failed to send' but people did respond me, meaning a message did get send properly, just the app failing to show that. (could also have something to do with general network failure today in Belgium)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] xperon:
mikeioannina, thank you very much for your work - giving new life to 5 years old devices!

Currently I am using your KitKat on my Arc, and it's very good.

I'm very thrilled about using Marshmallow - especially because it could extend the ridiculous internal storage that Arc has.

But the only drawback with this version is that it doesn't support real 720p video recording. That problem is also with Lollipop.

You didn't define this issue as a one that needs a "miracle" to get solved - so I guess there is still hope...

1. What is exactly the reason for that? (I thought that because of the extended storage, there would be no problem)

2. Is there a good chance that later, real (not just fake) 720p video recording would be added to Marshmallow?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cajhin:
The wiki https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki

should have all information how to install Marshmallow.

You should read it when you install for the first time.

About the keyboard: swiping doesn't work out of the box (I guess the dictionary files are missing). I usually install the Google Keyboard from the Play store.

About camera: it stores its files to /sdcard/DCIM.

The setting "storage location=internal memory" cannot be changed, this looks like a cosmetic problem.

About 720p: Mardon and Mike have experimented recently. 720p is possible, but the framerate is too low (24fps?) to be worth it. Speeding this up is... difficult.
