Sorry, if you cant boot, you cant get a logcat. That message was in the hope the rest of my post helped access recovery.

How are you trying to access recovery? Have you 'fastboot flash boot'ed recently? Have you tried' fastboot boot xxx.Img'?

Are there any errors visible to you?

Sorry for unclear posting!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] trax7:
There have been other ppl with urushi that have reported it works just fine. Your device shouldn't be special in any way, shape or form. Thus, it must be something which has been (or most likely not been) done on your part. In order to help ourselves, let's try again, from the beginning:

1. Flash LATEST Stock firmware via Flashtool.

2. Boot and wait 5 minutes.

3. Enable USB debugging and Unknown Sources.

4. Flash CM as per instructions in this thread, word by word.

You should not lose recovery. Also, flash only recommended GApps (I found that Beans GApps only work on my anzu, the other give force closes, slowdowns, etc..) You should be able to boot and use your phone normally after this. Try different GApps, different sizes, it makes a big difference because the ROM depends on them a lot :)

Hi,

I got problem with urushi 14.1 March build. When I restarted the phone after charging it reboots to lineage animation even if Im enough fast to enter my pin code. I took the battery out and sim and sd card, put them back and boot to recovery and did wipe cache & dalvik, but the problem stays. Many times the rom wont let me enter the pin code, because it reboots instantly before the pin code screen opens. The clock and backround image are visible when it reboots. I have had reboots to pin before this, but I've been able to enter it and after that no reboot ocurred. So what is the problem? Do I have to install the rom again? Many thanks for answers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
It sounds like a corrupted SD card.I don't remember if your build has TWRP, but if it does, you could try the option "Repair or Change File System", it is under Advanced Wipe, select only data and proceed. I think there is an option to select file system after that. If that doesn't help you could do a clean installation, but if you still getting reboots afterwards, then you should check your SD card. The issue with the dead cards has been discussed several times in the thread and the bug tracker, if I recall right there even were some suggestions for revival.

Good luck...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Danishblunt:
I am currently fighting gapps. Installing the ROM is no problem, but the moment i install gapps with the rom is the moment the apps keep crashing. I don't know how to fix this issue.

- installed CM 14.1, installed Gapps 7.1 arm = crash

- installed CM 14.1, set it up, installed Gapps 7.1 arm = crash

- installed CM 14.1 without gapps = runs fine

I did a clean format of system, cache and data before installing the ROM and gapps. Installing only the rom runs without any issues, so there seems to be something going on with gapps.

I'm using the CM recovery since TWRP cannot figure out how to mount sdcard (?)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
What is error? Logcat? Kmesg? Without we cannot help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Danishblunt:
There is none, gapps just crashes. Not even a specific app, just every gapp. It also says that it crashes repeatedly, not only once. So idk.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mardon:
Use the gapps linked in 1st post

They are not compatible. I should probably try out CM 13, guess the support for CM 14.1 is just to bad on the LT18i.

My CM12.1 app install problem...

How many apps did they install?

Trax7, please remember: Mine worked fine as well UNTIL I installed one app too much! For me this seems to be a sytematic custom ROM problem! Also because it happened not only at CM12 but also at CM13 and CM 14.

Did nobody of you noticed that the installation time lasted longer and longer the more apps have been installed?

Yes or no?

Up to now nobody answered this question here, unfortunately...

I am totally sure that the installation speed and limit problem happens again after I have recovered my mobile. A Logcat won't help here, would it?

But anyway I will make Logcats for you then, naturally!

However, for not making another mistake: Please let me know what I exactly should be my next step to reflash the recovery system (flash program version, exact flash file, etc.) before I can reflash the LX kernel with the recovery system.

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
See here.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
In my case it was 22 Apps of altogether about 1,8 GB.

And they didn't notice an increasing delay?

When I installed GoogleMaps at CM14 it needed about 15 minutes to finish installation !!

How could that be explained?

And the system was sooo slow that GM navigator didn't work at all and always finally crashed.

Did they make the same experience?

The remaining questions of my message above you cannot answer?...

Would like to be sure to flash the recovery correctly.

Another question:

Just before Danishblunt talked about TWRP and CM recovery. This confuses me very much cause I don't know from another recovery at LegacyXperia than the one in the LX kernel. This one unfortunately does not even have Nandroid and misses a lot of other features as well. I don't know of any other suiting/compatible recovery here.

Please let me know where I can get a LegacyXperia-TWRP recovery.

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
The "bad" recovery is from CyanogenMod, included in Legacy Xperia cm images. Twrp supports taking nandroids, etc and can be found in lineage14.1 boot image by LX
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
thank you for your time, Hackintosh!

But no, at least in the (very slow and totally unstable) version I once tested (CM-14.1_20161123_URUSHI.zip) very disappointed there is just ONE LX recovery and NO TWRP one!!

Please describe more detailed so that I can follow you.

And send me the TWRP recovery of CM12.1, PLEASE!! I once was searching so much for it and don't know any reason why it shouldn't exist...

I also cannot find CM14.1 at https://basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/urushi. Is there any other official link for those version now?... (mine I once got via an unofficial link)

Please also comment my requests JUST before my line "Another question:" above so that I can continue!

Thank you so much!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
Mine for ayame I got from unofficial too. It did have twrp, but it never loaded, so I assumed it was just my device. In the end, I flashed with cm recovery, but14.1 was unusable so I am now on MM. Mm is good. I imagine you could get twrp somehow, but there is no integrated working twrp here.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
This is the only LX build containing TWRP known to me, it's the one i use for smultron above.

https://www.basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/LegacyXperia/urushi/LineageOS-14.x
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Thank you.

Open questions:

1.) And nobody of them ever noticed an increasing delay at an increasing number of installed apps at CM12/13/14 ???

2.) I reflashed the LX kernel of CM12.1 (which should contain the LX recovery as well, right?) again. How do you explain why this doesn't solve my recovery access problem?

3.) I tried to delete my cache by adb command 'fastboot erase cache' but it returned "Partition not found or permission denied". Why?

(caused by the different Partition layout of LegacyXperia?...)

4.) I flashed the 'recovery.img' of your zip package above ('CM-14.1_20161123_URUSHI', folder recovery\etc\) but again it didn't stop boot when pressed vol- to enter into recovery. Why not?

5.) Was/is anybody able to run GoogleMaps navigation on an Xperia 2011 mobile? If yes, which was the Environment condition?

Thank you for your responses.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
1. Yes I have.

2. I don't know, there may be a recovery partition. Did you follow the instructions on lx wiki?

3. Yes, I believe lx modifies partitions so cache would be on sd.

4. Like I said, recovery didn't work in 14.1.

5. No idea, I would say to use cm13 or cm10.

To address your problem, try flashing stock image with Emma. That will restore everything. Then follow instructions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TakisBeskos:

[MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] said in the Telegram group, a month ago or so, that he had built for his anzu, but the builds don't boot yet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Hmmh, unfortunately that doesn't help at all.

Also you should know that Emma doesn't support Xperia 2011 devices (Sony-Ericsson): s. https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/supported_phones.

I have to use and always did the flash tool of Androxyde. That worked fine up to now...

Are you sure that you know enough especially about LegacyXperia and the specific features/problems of those mobiles?...

Meanwhile I have the impression that my flashing of kernels does not install new data ALTHOUGH the flash log reports success (s. the attached log).

Cause I flashed at last just another kernel (of the AOKP project) but when I boot the logo and anything else is still totally the same. It still shows the logo "LegacyXperia".

Shouldn't this project's kernel have a different boot logo?

Is there anybody out there having a little bit know how about that and could help me somehow, please?...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Falk2:
Even if I erase the system partition (s. attachment) (the kernel and the recovery seems to be located in here as well) the kernel boots properly. This should not happen, should it??...

Can anybody explain that to me?

Would anybody please share with me the two partition tables: the usual and the new partion layout of LegacyXperia (place of boot sequence, recovery, kernel, whole system, whole data partition)?

Then I have a chance to explain symptomas of my problem by myself maybe.

Thank you so much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
The kernel AND recovery BOTH reside in the (invisibe) boot partition, located before /system. You HAVE TO flash it by using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

as stated in LX wiki. Don't use Androxide's Flashtool, your Flashtool screenshot looks as if you flashed boot.img into system partition...

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

DON'T flash any 'recovery.img'! Only 'boot.img' in the zip's rootdir. And use the 20140514 build i linked to get TWRP, the later build has that featureless cm recovery again.

Google Maps? Didn't even try, Gapps + monstrous Gmaps app is obviously too much for our devices. Wait for Android Go apps, or use alternatives, Locus (Free) works here, gappsless on both CM11 and CM14.1.

And there is should be a button named 'Thanks!' anywhere...:)

los14.1 sim-card

I flashed lineageOS14.1 and Mardons HDPi-miniGAPPS-7.1.1-20170108 on my Xperia Pro iyokan. Everything worked remarkably smoth and very fast, including GAPPs and also GoogleMaps, which i installed later from GooglePlay.

...everything, except ... the SIM-card is not detected. Which makes a telephone worthless.

After 10 reboots or so i surrendered.

Any clou, perchance?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4ezahernya:
Could you share this ROM, please (exactly march build)? Upload or give existing link maybe?

Is there any issues with it? Is the install process identical to cm13 in the topic? Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Did you try AdrianDC's build yet? It should contain TWRP, smultron version does. Installation same as lx13.

https://www.basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/LegacyXperia/iyokan/LineageOS-14.x
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4ezahernya:
I haven't tried this specific build, because according to a quote above it's non-twrp (but previous version was), and there are many reports in this topic that simcard aint working. But I can't find the previous build.

Thanks for reply anyway.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Well, no problem with 2 very different sim cards here, using this build for my smultron. And i have twrp.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4ezahernya:
Firstly, may build has CM recovery, not twrp.

Secondly, it's not installing with "Signature verification failed"..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Did you really try the build i posted? It is NOT the one linked in the OP!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4ezahernya:
Yep. Exactly that one. I downloaded it several times. I guess they messed up with iyokan May build.

They forgot to sign it or something, and cm recovery cant install it.

I did the same with cm13 and it's installed and working just fine...

So, my only option is ti ask someone for March build.

But I'm surprised people did install it. So maybe there's some trick I don't know about (I followed install manual for cm13, coz didn't found one for 14). :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nussbaum:
Well, did you flash the included boot.img with fastboot first? Then you can flash the zip with twrp...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 4ezahernya:
Of course, I wouldn't enter recovery overwise, and it was modern 7x style, but it was not twrp, but cm recovery which ain't able to flash zip without "correct" signature (I've tried to sign it - no success).

So, I guess, this specific build is broken. I hope someone could share with another one.

4. The andriwndc one.

5. Yes that's right

Just go wipe, swipe

Go advanced wipe and wipe system

Then go advanced --> sideload

Then connect USB and type 'adb sideload rom-14.1-xxx.zip'

Then type 'adb sideload opengapps-7.1-xxx.zip'

Then go reboot to system. Ignore any warning message.

I have been using my Mini pro on cm13 for some time now and all was working fine (besides incoming calls, texts and notifications lag/failure). All was fine until just now, I tried to install whatsapp and as soon as it finished installing it kept popping up with "trebuchet has stopped working" with the only option to click "OK" and micro seconds after it popped up again, and again, and again..... (you get the picture) so I tried rebooting, but could not access any controls/couldn't get my phone to do anything in between the "trebuchet stopped working" pop ups. Thus I took out my battery, in hopes this would help, but now I am stuck in boot loop. I get the Legacy Xperia logo, then the blue robot head, it then says "preparing to start", which usually leads to my phone starting soon after this, but now it goes back to the blue robot head and the loop continues: blue robot head, preparing to start, blue robot head, preparing to start, blue robot head..... (again, you get the picture)

Anyone got any ideas what has happened and how to fix it?

Any help/info will be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
reflash whole rom again. May be your sdcard is damaged. If you can format it you can reinstall rom again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Reflashing will reset/erase everything wont it?

I tried it with another SD card (I have 2, 1 card was my tester card when I first installed cm13) So I have just tried it with my other card and it still does the same loop. Thus unsure if it is the SD card that is the cause/issue.

If I am able to get it into recovery mode, is there anything that can be done from here? eg "wipe cache partition"? or "system reset (keep media)"

I am concerned about losing important SMS text messages and photos/videos. Is there any way to save/recover these?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Can you get in recovery?If not, flash boot.img again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chelise:
I managed to get it into recovery earlier today. (charging it up now, as battery was getting low from all my attempts to boot it. It then got stuck on the Legacy Xperia screen, would not progress onto the blue robot head the same as it was earlier and cannot get it back into recovery mode now. I am hoping it is just doing this due to low battery)

After a bit of searching, I have found that others have had the same problem when downloading Whatsapp when on a CyanogenMod. They downloaded Whatsapp and then their phone go stuck on boot loop. One suggestion was to put the phone into safe mode and delete Whatsapp.

I am willing to try this, but don't know how to get into safe mode whilst it is stuck on boot loop/Legacy Xperia screen.

My fingers are crossed that getting rid of Whatsapp with resolve the issue.

How do I go about getting it into safe mode?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hackintosh5:
Cache may fix it.

If not your photos wouldn't be deleted by the second option. Maybe you could backup SMS by ADB.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azakosath:
[MENTION=7856437]chelise[/MENTION], did you manage to get in safe mode? If not, you can try holding volume down while booting, after the bootloader logo (Legacy Xperia), start pressing the volume down when you see the boot animation (the blue robot head you were talking about, by the way his name was Cid). I've just tried that with my coconut and it worked. If you are not able to uninstall WhatsApp in safe mode, then you can try doing it with adb command from recovery.
