[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] theunlucky:
Trying to upgrade, I ran into problems, eventough I prepared as good as I could.

(as a little chuckle for you, my nemesis on monday evening, sry for the typos, my nerves need an R&R):

First, I could flash TWRP-FOTA, directly from TWRP 2.8.7.0 to the 3.0.2 - but there was no way booting into that (neither Vol+ nor Vol- showed the new TWRP), always 2.8.7... Then I loaded the TWRP-Boot-Image. Installed perfectly, so back to the install-instructions:

wiped to factory default, tried to install the unification-zip; of course, failure - SD-Card not empty **; installed the boot-image of TWRP, finally got the 3.02, tried wiped to factory-default, wiped dalvik, tried to flash the unification-zip: same error (error 7).

** I had the files to flash on an ext. SD-Card

After realizing that the system wont boot anymore, I flashed the old boot.img from 12.1 via fastboot, and got the system back up. From there, I formated the internal SD-Card, and went to factory-default (from the 12.1-system option).

Then I booted into TWRP (again 2.8.7, as from the 12.1-Image), installed the 3.0.2-TWRP-fota-Image and tried rebooting into that - nonsuccessful, again only the 2.8.7.0... So I reinstalled 3.0.2 into boot. After booting into 3.0.2, I went factory-default again; and then tried unifying. Sadly, I encountered Error 7 AGAIN.

Ok, again wiping... Wiping, internal storage and legacy SD-Card.

Retried installing the unification: SUCCESS.

Rebooted, went back into TWRP, installed the CM13.0-20160725, and the Gapps(micro).

System starts up with CM1 (still in optimizing apps, so no definit success here)

Sooo...

a) Adrian (and all other developers) - thank you very much for the work you put into the System!

b) may I suggest an additional step for the Migration-Tut?

- formating int. Storage (and int. SD-Card) from the current System, AND

- wiping internal storage and SDCard after the Factory-Default-Step in TWRP again (as it seems TWRP is not touching the (int.) SD-Card when it contains data)

...still optimizing apps (somewhat slow, the 12.1-app-optimization was faster); I hope I can get the phone working by tomorrow ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Quite an adventure you tooks us with :D.

Yeah as you can see, my zips will be really mean to you if you don't suit all the requirements,

out of safety for you data, nothing will be done if there's at least 1 file remaining.

Basically for the old SDCard, "Legacy SDCard", you don't need to format it,

but you need to empty it, hence retrieve your data, and make it empty.

I'll be updating a bit the zips to add a few things.

I also added the explicit emptying of the Legacy SDCard partition. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] theunlucky:
...and that's the part I didn't forget while panicking ;)

Oh, if the "don't touch the system while theres something saved on" is a feature (and not a bug), maybe the additional step should be "backup your int. SD-Card and empty it from your current OS"; took me a while to find out what to do, because following your instructions, I believed factory-default and TWRP-wiping should have done the trick, as one has to confirm to wipe, so I'd expect it to be empty after the success-message...

But I've always been a bit conservative with those kind of messages; for me, if the wipe-task can't wipe, then it does not wipe - therefore "wiping not successful", would have saved me about two hours of cursing around ;)

(then again, as I didn't backup the SMS (something had to go wrong....) , I'd have cursed around anyway, so... ;)

Edit:

while I'm at it, I installed the micro-package; now, I have the google-search-bar hanging around; there's a way to remove it, but I forgot... Can someone give me a short kickstart, pls?

(except "redo the flash-part and just use the pico-Gapps", if possible ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Yeah that's what an old TWRP would have done in fact, but since I migrated to unify, using a new recovery,

a factory reset will reset the partitions that are concerned by the user, the old SDCard partition doesn't really exist anymore in his mind.

Nor should it exist because it's already there in TWRP as a fake removable storage in order to give you access to it & to save the files that are on it,

and can't be declared as a user data partition when we're in fact going to kill it, can't be "fundamental" and not existent.

So a Factory Reset does what it should do : Format the Userdata, the internal storage (which is common to Userdata), and things like Cache.

Other partitions, like the "Legacy SDCard", are left untouched, it's like an additional MicroSD, a storage you can read and empty until it's removed / unified.

Always remember to make a TWRP backup once in a while, especially on big events,

makes things safer if you need to go back to retrieve some forgotten data & forward.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] theunlucky:
[MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

...talking about partitions who are not existing...

Tried to restore my apps, but have only 1.7GB of storage?

...what did I do wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
First post, you'll see that you need to flash the fix-userdata-..... file.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] theunlucky:
...only "If Nandroid backup restored" (which I didn't do)

...so essentially I'll have to go around from step "Reboot after Unification" again...

What a day.... :eek:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
You did the factory reset after the unification ? If not might be it.

Flash the fix-userdata anyways, won't do harm no worries.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] theunlucky:
Yep, but let me refer to my original post: wiping/factory resetting from TWRP did absolutly nothing on my XT ;)

Well, then I'll flash again. :-/

[MENTION=4109271]dzadzev[/MENTION]

Thanks, knew it was easy ;) (worked)

[MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

Flashing the fix-userdata... did the trick (factory-reset not, wiping not (error-message in TWRP), have now 12GB at my disposal... :)

(now, I call it a day.)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
fix-userdata should fix the size not showing correctly, and if it doesn't format that new bigger partition will.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Unifier / Restore / Fix / Format zips updated, even more securities & warnings,

and you won't be able to ignore the guides & instructions given to you in the OP & in the zip.

If you ignore them, as you like to do, sadly, you'll be blocked & the zips will refuse until you do the needed reboots.

Also a new feature, as the internal SDCard datas may not be important and you'd maybe like to format it no matter what,

or even if you want to do it inside CyanogenRecovery, now you can flash the format-sdcard before the unify,

it will fail once & tell you to save your data + empty the SDCard, and that if you really want to format it,

you need to flash it a second time. Then if you do so, the zip will detect a second run, and will perform the proper format.

Everything is made as safe & explicit as possible, takes 3 minutes to do maximum if you take time to read.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nhicko95:
try it later after finish of download

done its working now tryng to find some bugs but nothing
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nhicko95:
done :) everythings is fine no bugs found
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
I did a clean install from previous build and i had a problem with unifying, i should wipe partition, after unifying only 5gb space, so i resized and reformat data partition using twrp. After that clean install of cm13 and gapps. No problem so far, gr8 work of developers. SoD not once yet ;)

The new kernel is about the sleep-of-death issue or the touchscreen one?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Why test something that's now old (and I even probably deleted it from my dev folder automatically last night),

when there's a new ROM release you can flash & that has been announced & confirmed fixing both things :D.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] XperiakiasT:
Error7

Error 7 when i try to flash last cm13 update with twrp 3
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Reason ? You're not reading. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr.blackopp:
I tried this ROM and everything is working great but I only have 2 GB of storage after unification. I followed instructions precisely. Is there any way to fix this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
I had the same problem. But my partition has been 5gb because of repartitioning. So in twrp there is posibility to resize and format partition. The one you need is called "data".

EDIT: menu wipe, advanced wipe, select Data partition and then the only one button possible above slider (do not know the name now) and there is resize button.

Odesláno z mého Xperia T pomocí Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Then it's likely you didn't do factory reset after the unification & after the reboot to recovery.

In any case, you can flash the fix-userdata-... to address that.

TWRP's resize is close to the same as what the fix-userdata-.... zip does (zip also fixes the storage detection so use that preferably).

Also, the safest way to really format Data (& emulated internal sdcard) is to do a Factory Reset,

a wipe will mostly just delete the files instead of a real formatting & reset of the whole partition.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
Believe me or not but i really made factory reset. I have been so precise to not bricked my phone to read every piece of walkthrough you wrote. And even flashing your fixuserdata does not helped even it is written as optional after restoring backup which i did not. It was clean install. So resizing has been my one and only solution ;)

Really great work!! It is amazing!! I have a space for my applications!! And the phone is fast like new! The black screen issue fixed! When I had version 20160716, I had black screen permanently.

But I have one question. Will be this work on this rom? http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-xperia-z4-framework-sony-stock-t3154772
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
No it won't because it's totally outdated & meant for 12.1 only as you can see.

These kind of changes are modifying the framework, it's a "dev-blocker",

theming is ok when the ROM is fully finished & stable,

let's please ignore all that for the moment, makes no sense to block on one ROM date that is not finished.

Example, Huashan's Stryflex is built on my AOSP-RRO from a few weeks ago,

although I made quite some changes since that, none can be used with it

because it's a modified version from that day & that build, can't mix things randomly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
OK. And are you planning something like this for this ROM? After the ROM will be 100 % stable? Because I love sony apps and I guess that I am not the only one :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Probably not.

I think you guys don't realize how much time I spend on all these 8x60 Sonys xD.

Used to do theming 2 years ago, doesn't interest me anymore, source work is far more interesting than hacking the compiled files.

And with the amount of themes and ROMs alternatives...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
Of course, I understand :) No problem. Even so, I am very grateful for your work!!!! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] |>/\nte:
Ah â?¦nightlies. Yes. As I'm using the build of July 22, a bug report about that build will be useless â?¦oh well â?¦anyway, thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr.blackopp:
Tried fixing it by fix-userdata but it ended up with an error. Factory reset worked fine though. And also I can't get SuperSU working with this rom, I flashed the .zip file as usual, downloaded the app from Google play and it failed at updating binary. Am I doing something wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
It is known that supersu doesn't work. Cyanogenmod has an inbuilt root. Go to the developer options and enable root.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
After I unified data, everytime when I am flashing something or doing backup, it writes with red color "Failed to mount '/sdcard' (Invalid argument)". Everytime two times. But everything is OK, just it wrote it. I do not know what it mean, because I still can not translate "mount" :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Hi, is xposed working yet? Must for me because I use youtube backgroudnd a lot especially when im travelling. And will we get an overclocked kernel?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Do you have latest TWRP on fota ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
I flashed your TWRP 3.0.2 in my old 2.8.7.0 TWRP, flashing went fime, but when I reboot to recovery it opens my old recovery. Do you know why?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
No, I have TWRP version 20160714. It works fine, without problems. So I install it again. It is that problem?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Klaus N.:
What is your current rom? I guess, it's not cm13.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
Sure, its cm 12.1 if I'm not mistaken
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Yeah, with last twrp build you will not see that red text sdcard mount (that is showing because of the unification only on older recovery). Just flash the last build and it will be gone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
Somehow I figured out how to boot to 3.0.2 recovery, but have Error 7 when flashing format sdcard, twice of course. Any clue?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fessy3:
No, it is OK. In next installation I will install newer version. I just wrote it here whether it is some bigger problem. Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
Don't know what is wrong with my phone, each step causes nezt problems.. I flashed adcard format correctly, everything ok, but when I try to flash unify userdata it says that userdata partition still contains data.

Fixed already, flashing rom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
There are clues everywhere.

Read and follow the OP, and also read and follow the output in your recovery when you flash something. With every error there is explanations what is going on ...

Everyone can do this simple process if they spend some time to read everything :D

So you formatted your SDCard and now it said you have data on userdata partition ? What do you think might be next step ? Maybe also Factory reset might help and not only SDCard format ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
I've read almost everything, first one was really complicated, I fixed using usb-otg, nobody says that in thread ? thanks anyway!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
I had the same: partition still has data. So I did format in twrp again (factory reset did not helped). And all is OK. Do not you have a 12.1 Neo's ROM? I had this ROM before updating and problems are the same.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Well yeah for the process to merge the two partitions, they both need to be empty without any data. So the zips must be on external sdcard, usb-otg or adb sideloaded.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Ive gotten the rom to work, restored all my apps and using the merge data unify. But when i try downloading an app from the app store i get the error "cant be downloaded error while retrieving info from the server [DF-DLA-15]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Well restoring old data can always cause some troubles ...

Clean install is always best option.

But you can always try to clear Cache & Data of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Download Manager ... and remove your Google account. Reboot and see if that helped.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Yeah It was a clean install. Just restored apps using titanium backup. But ill give it a try
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] |>/\nte:
I wouldn't get my hopes high for a custom kernel in marshmallow. At this point the xperia t is almost 4 years old. We're quite lucky to have guys like Adrian DC to bring more life to this device. As for xposed, I think it should work but I'm not sure. If you want, I can test it out for you. Bear in mind I'm running the July 22nd build though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
I've had another cm 12.1-based rom, ain't sure which one it was because it's not my phone. I also had to format data separately, cause factory reset leave data untoched. Now I somehow managed to finish all process, for now works like charm!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Its okay thanks. I installed the latest version and it seems to be working after changing selinux with selinuxchanger :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:
hi

Is suitable for daily use?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
just flashed the TWRP 3.0.2 and the latest CM13-ROM - follow the instructions in 1st post to the letter - then there is no problem.

At my first attempt I flashed Super-SU 2.46 and the boot was not finished. I did a factory reset and flashed the ROM and open-GAPPS micro again, then booting took about a minute. Looks great so far. Google-App-Recovery is now running - will test more. Interestingly: I did a full wipe of data etc. but CM13 found the settings from my CM12.1 installation for the desktop. My widgets were there and the apps where I left them...

THANKYOU all (esp. Adrian and STDBarbarossa) for bringing Marshmallow to the Mint.

Hey there,

using the new ROM a few days now, NO MAYOR BUG ENCOUNTERED... Phone runs stabil and fast... :)

Again thanks for this Image :) 3rd life for my Xperia :)

Encountered a minor bug (realy a "first world" problem without any priority) though:

selecting my old ringtones (self-made .wav-files, one mp3), some of them are played very slow but very loud; haven't found a pattern yet; mostly smaller files with less than 4sec length... (created the wav-files via audacity, all the same way; will try other files, as soon I've found the pattern I'll report here)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
Does somebody encounter that phone power offs itself? It just randomly cuts out voltage, shiutting down instantly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Need a new battery, battery in the T is **** and drops voltage. Common problem
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
Maybe, but it increased a lot after flashimg this rom, previous I was on some cm 12.1, power offs was maybe 1-2 per month, now its like 5 at the day
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
It could not be power off. It should be System Of Death (SoD). Flash newest ROM. It happened to me too. Now without any "power off"

I have 25-07, thought it's a newest one?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
For my own personal use I'm going to install ubuntu and repack this kernel with doomkernels overclock table and disable thermal throttling. Would it be okay to do this?

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Depends which cm12.1 rom you were using. If you were using the one I was using (forgot its name) it has a custom kernle and was booting on 1052mhz using the intelldemand govoner which is quite stable. I can use this phone for none intensive task with the screen on low brightness but if i played games or turned up the cpu frequency battery voltage would drop significantly. To make the phone usable until i get a new battery im using a battery bank adn keep it on charge when im using it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] haax:
I'm preety sure that any 12.1 rom I've used it was overclocked by me to 14(..)Mhz, one below maximum value, using internactive scheduler.

Using this rom, few hours ago I've underclocked to 12(..)Mhz, would check how device works now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
Alright goodluck, good tip, install ampere and moniter your battery voltage while you test to see if its your battery at fault
