Thank you very much for your immediate reply [MENTION=6406816]hitman-xda[/MENTION]!

It's not my first time :o . I already have an unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone. I'll let you know the results.

Downloading the files now and backing up files from my phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try repairing it through PC companion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bopalmo:
i have tried,it says i cant repair (or something like that)

i think i have to locky bootloader and unroot my device to be able to use pc companion,yeah?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
I'm not sure but I think you have lost your TA-Partition. It happens when you do things that were not supposed to do.

And during repairing phone through PC companion its not compulsory to unroot and lock bootloader. Just try to repair in dead mode. AND don't flash different ROMs over your phone. It'll possibly brick your device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bopalmo:
so I'm lucky!cause I have flashed many ROMs on my acro to see if the problem solves or not!

and thank god it hasn't bricked yet!!

I have tried to repair it with pc companion

but it gives an error.

I have tried to repair it while my rom was naosp 6
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Yeah you're lucky, just for a while.

We still don't know about TA.

If you've lost your TA-Partition then the way to fix your network problem is to change the whole motherboard and it'll cost you the price of your phone.

Now you just have one safe method.

Repairing through PC companion.

Just Google it how to repair xperia, you'll know about the whole process.

Have You tried to repair in dead mode right? Connecting phone in fastboot mode? If still there is any error, try to change the version of PC companion. It'll probably help you.

Are you getting any specific error?

Partitions are done well.

Try to format /data and if it still didn't work, try to change file system back to ex4 and again to f2fs for /data.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panzerbuern:
thankyou very much! ity worked) major derp on my side)

great guide!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Can someone post screen shots of repartitioning ? Specially the step of knowing the value of my device memory size from the table .. and where i post these values in minimal and fast boot .. am sry but i read all the pages here and i feel i gonna do something wrong :( ..

And another Q .. is there any updates in this rom ? if yes .. how to install it ? Normal flashing zip or another big steps ?

Sry for annoying but it's will be better if the explain contains a screen shots if u can ❤

Sry guys
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
I already have partitioned my device, so I can't post any screenshots.

Just post your partition table from minimal adb and fastboot, I'll tell you the right values.

And there's a newer version available (b08 ). You just need to flash it through your recovery. Use (b08 ) instead of (b07 ) whole flashing the ROM.

Regards,

hitman-xda
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mahmoud Halem:
Thank u hitman i already donwloaded the last version .. maybe gonna try repartitioning now .. hope to success

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

every time i write adb shell .. it's said device not found .. although my device is connected in recovery and fastboot drivers is installed and the device notification led is blue :(

i tried that in recovery and in fastboot mode
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Maybe you don't have adb drivers installed.

Download adb driver installer. Just google it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try formating /data. If still it shows 0MB then change file system from f2fs to ext4 and again to f2fs. It'll surely work for you.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
I see that you have missed some steps. Just compare your log with the post you'll see the missing step.

If you're able to partition again, just do it from the beginning and do it carefully.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rensaionji:
I really can't find steps that i missed, can you tell me?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You have deleted your p14 & p15 partition. You just follow below steps to make a new p14 partition.

adb shell

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

Command (m for help): n

First Cylinder: 42945

Last Cylinder: 477120

Command (m for help): t

Partition number (1-14): 14

Hex code (type L to list codes): 83

Command (m for help): w

After this you must be able to see p14 partition. And after that carry on the same further process (changing file system from recovery).

Hey, here's another issue. The rom is successfully installed but I met some issue with Google Play services: Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.

I cannot proceed with adding Google Account. Any ideas how to fix it? It's latest Open GApps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Have you wiped cache/dalvic cache after installing ROM and GApps?

Have you flashed ROM + GApps in one single shot ?

If not, then do it.

And use the mini version of GApps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sky202_how89:
It seems the mini Gapps work without any issue. Both of the Gapps followed accordingly to the instruction, what could be the caused? I'm going to try again by throwing more apps out from Super Package. I think it could be the space requirement for the /system. After I installed mini Gapps, it still left 200MB+ in the /system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sky202_how89:
At last after more than 12hours reinstalling, the issue came from Google Webview which caused the Google Play services crashed and stopped. For whoever wanna install Super/Stock Package, please exclude Google Webview from the Gapps.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Did you followed every step?

The partition table you send is after partitioning. So I can't say what was your previous values.

Just make sure you have done everything well and didn't missed any of the step.

I haven't done that thing yet.

According one user you can flash BPaul's ROM with newer partitions.

Again another user said that, he regained his original partitions by repairing phone through PC companion.

I don't know exactly what will work but you can give it a try.

Fastboot problem

I get this error when entering this command - fastboot flash boot recovery.img

FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)

What to do guys?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
First of all ROOT your device.

Follow this GUIDE.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rip222:
thanks cap, I did root my device. Anyways, the problem was with the bootloader, it was locked. I unlocked it, and the process went smooth, but gave error at the last stage:

first time when I was giving new number to the second cylinder.

second time when I tried to change the file system it gave me errors.

Any advice? I followed exactly each step, very carefully.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
you used your values, right?

if you're getting problem while changing file system, first check weather it shows 0MB, if it does then try to format that partition and then file system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] runekock:
Use open gapps nano, rather than stock. And then install the apps that you need from the play store afterwards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cristiansuteu:
This worked just fine. Thanks! Although, how come it works for others but not for me?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try to format those partitions and then change file system. Or make file system ext4 and then f2fs, however it is possible.

If it doesn't work, then flash stock rom ftf and then follow the same process.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Elshamael:
is it possible to partition my Acro S using this guide and use BPaul's Lollipop ROM?

after repartitioning I lost my External, all my phone storage is now Internal.

I'm getting an error my pc cant detect my phone's storage, and my file manager can't detect 13Gb internal storage

it say's "external SD is not mounted"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
No, its not possible. Even if you partitioned and try to install BPaul's ROM it won't install.

Check your partitions from recovery weather it shows correct values or not. Also try formatting. It'll work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
I think you can boot to system but there will be no internal storage to use.so To use Bpaul's rom you need both p14 and p15.So this procedure should work for you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] viper.:
I did that. I was on this rom and i wanted to get back to stock as 6.0 was too much buggy for me.

You just have to flash some stock rom over this one. And then when it boots up it will say that internal sd is unmounted or corrupeted ..something like that. You will have option(in phone settings) to erase/format or unmount internal memory..do that and everything will be fine.

stock is waaaaaaaaaaaay more stable . :)

Im using his ROM now but after partitioning my phone wont detect the internal storage, how can I bring back the original partition?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KuzanPls:
Failures :c

Really do not know how to express myself in this, I 'm a little new compared to you. Besides I do not speak English .

My problem is this , I did everything step by step, after finishing the commands on the computer I disconnected the phone and I saw that the rest was just on the phone. I made changes to f2fs and apparently all right, here maybe the problem was that only set me cached regarding 0Mb , not data.

Then restart and proceeded to install the rom and gapps . I really was not aware that top says ' ' failed ' ' , thought the red letters on the codes that appeared was normal , so I continued .

After waiting excited because I started, I received the message :

Encryption unsuccessful

Encryption was interrupted and can not complete . As a result , the data on your tablet is no longer accessible .

To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset . When you set-up your tablet after the reset, you 'll Have an opportunity to restore any backed up data That was to your Google Account.

reset Phone-

I proceeded to what he told me , but just restart my tlf and I get some of the recovery that gives failed , so after that I went into recovery to see what he could do , or try to install the rom again , erasing data and cache , but it was not because everything gives me failed in data, repair, clean , convert , everything.

I noticed messages that appeared , and the first thing he said was the following:

E:/ primary block device 'dev/block/mmcblk0p14' for mount point '/data' not present

So I thought that if he repeated the process on the console could fix something, but I found to my surprise that the lines 14 and 15 no longer appear and do not know if it has to do .

That's all , I hope your help. I also doubt that if the flash stock rom fix the problem , or do I have to sort out data?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
It shows 0MB in /data and /cache, right?

Goto recovery and try to format

/data and /cache. If it still shows 0MB then try to change file system to ext4 and back to f2fs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KuzanPls:
/data

No, single /data shows 0MB

I already tried that , as I said, any attempt to do on /data , whether formatted or switch to ext4 me it '' failed ''

:c
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
If you have already tried that and failed, then the only way I know is, flashing stock ftf. You'll get your partitions back.

thank you man, it worked. But I faced a new problem. I wanted to root my phone in recovery mode. When I rebooted my phone and tapped Sony logo a few times the phone ran into bootloop. What can I do about it?

I can't get in fastboot or flashboot modes.

EDIT: I solved the problem by downloading fastboot .inf file from official Sony website and pasted it in the google usb driver folder and then fastboot mode worked.

Note that, for the first time it takes so long to bootup. You could confuse it with bootloop.

If your sure it's bootloop then try to reflash ROM through recovery.

To enter into recovery just click volume button when you see the LED.

Also check fastboot drivers into your PC. Or try to connect phone in different USB port.

1. I just noticed that some "numbered" apps like 10170, 10186, 10066 and others use too much data (504 mb in a few hours). What are these apps about and how to block them from data and wifi access?

2. my device gets too hot too quick, even when I use simple apps like whatsapp and telegram. what to do about it?

3. it charges too slow. any solution to this?

4. sometimes sim card is not recognized
