Where is everything explained?

You guys make this migration hard to understand. And there is no wiki for this.

And why I cant open recovery with holding + cable? I can open recovery only via restart/recovery.

And I need TWRP or not??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
The informations are now available on the related device CyanogenMod Wiki page.

The only complicated thing about it is "reading" and following the hints.

You can't boot to recovery with key + USB because no Sony device use this structure, quite simply.

Recovery is accessed on boot sequence, with Volume + and -. Details about it also on the Wiki.

And TWRP is not "needed" but "recommended".
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] |>/\nte:
Everything is at the original post. Also, t.w.r.p. isn't necessary to flash the rom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Realmind:
I really dont understand where is the special flashable zip... And I cant format SDcard0 at phone there is a command error.

And in cyanogen recovery there is no format ?? Only factory reset and wipe system partition.... I really wanna update my T but If I update new cyanogen ROM there is failure about partitons but where is the partition zip and how I can format this SDcard? without TWRP
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
The ROM zip is doing everything.

If your SDCard still has data and you don't care about it,

as the warning explains to you, you flash the zip once again

to accept the loss of your SDCard & go forward.

hi

last build (cm-13.0.1-20160804-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip) problems:

1- RIL very unstable (3G or 2G preferred) - ( in build cm-13.0-20160725-UNOFFICIAL-mint is ok )

2- battery drain fast

3- com.android.mms 5.1.1 (default lollipop messaging) not work -( in build cm-13.0-20160725-UNOFFICIAL-mint working)

thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
1. I don't have that problem, 3G and 2G working normally.

2. Also don't have that problem, battery is draining the same as previous builds.

3. SMS is working, and for MMS i haven't tried.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Exactly, same as dzadzev, everything fine.

And anyways, the update doesn't have commits that would logically explain your issues.

Know that since I got my Mint, I'm using it all the time as primary instead of my SP (to some of SP users disappointment... :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] markus1540:
Sadly I still get a black screen of death just minutes after the screen turns off.

Also I wanted to switch back to CM 12.1 or WhiteNeos builds but after flashing the restore zip installation of the older ROMs failed. Even flashtool seems unable to write the stock system image now for some reason.

I could try to capture a logcat/kmseg log of the first issue with a clean ROM if you are interested.

Hi i am on last build and everytome i lost signal, phone wants to PIN to unlock SIM. For he first time after reset phone it is normal, but everytime signal lost? Does it happen to anyone else?

Bricked my phone?

Hello all,

I had the latest CM 12 on my phone and wanted to update to this ROM, but had some trouble. First I tried to put twrp-3.02 on the phone via fastboot flash recovery twrp-3...img, that didn't work, so I installed the TWRP Installer via Playstore. At that time, there was only version 2.8 available to install, so I used that version of TWRP. In TWRP I installed the new version of TWRP to boot. That was I think the first error, because whenever I started the phone, TWRP came up. So I decided to install CM13 out of TWRP. First I formatted the internal SD Card, so that it is empty, then started the installation of the ROM. There was an error something with 7, I can't remember and the only options I remember was to reboot. And that's it. Since that time, no reaction, no LED, doesn't matter which combination of buttons I push, nothing :( I opened the phone, disconnected the battery and switched the phone on, for a moment the red LED went on, but than again nothing. The accu was full when I started the update.

It looks to me as if I have bricked it. Is there anything else I can try? I don't have a windows machine, only Linux and access to Winwos in a Virtualbox. Openeing is not the problem (it ist already open), if that might help me to restore the phone.

Thanks Fine
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
Install adb drivers on your linux, are you using a Debian based, Arch based or something else?

When the drivers are installed, press vol up and connect the phone to your pc.

Next, open a terminal and type: lsusb

What's the output?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fineb:
No output for lsusb, I use Opensuse for years and the adb drivers were already installed.

BR

Fine
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
What happens when you unplug the battery and then connect the phone to your pc? Does the output for lsusb change?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fineb:
A new device appears:

Bus 007 Device 010: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

This device with or without connected battery, I didn't realize that before.

I'm sorry but that doesn't look good..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
ALERT, FOR ONCE READ THIS AND DO NOT IGNORE

As some of you know, there appears to be a very rare issue with the unification "bricking phones".

It's been days & weeks I'm looking into it all, trying to make everything as safe as possible,

and it's literally days I'm hunting down for anything that could be wrong on my side

but absolutely can't find anything that does not look ok....

Expanding a bit more the range of possibilities & trying to match as much as possible

the luckily very few reports, I tried to look to other related things.

Tonight I made an awful discovery, and I think I know what is happening,

and it is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not ignore me for once, especially

knowing how you guys like to totally ignore reading the zip's output for example.

I think the issue is happening to the users of unofficial CM12.1 using an old TWRP only,

(which by the way doesn't support intentionally FOTA recovery to be "safer").

Here's what's wrong : https://github.com/WhiteNeo-/android_device_sony_blue-common/blob/cm-12.1/rootdir/twrp.fstab#L8

That line, with the second device that should never have been there,

is most probably telling TWRP to wipe out the whole internal storage board,

not just the SDCard partition, the whole EMMC memory of the phone.

I would like to point out that I am not asking you guys to

format the SDCard

,

but simply to

empty it

, which again if you read would still not be a problem.

SO THE BIG MESSAGE HERE IS, DO NOT FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD USING AN OLD TWRP

THAT DOES NOT COME FROM ME / OFFICIAL TWRP 3.0, IT WILL GO WRONG.

As of now, I have no idea how to help those who made that "mistake",

and do not feel offended by that because I also know the TWRP part is not your fault.

I invite you to search a lot on the web & try to find a solution, if any exists,

mostly if someone did release somewhere the low-level firmware to inject & to get fastboot.

Please do use the Q&A thread for these please because it's no longer

falling into the development & official related CM for blue,

so let's try to keep things clean & centralized there.

I am starting to work on something to block you from flashing CM13 using such an old TWRP,

and force you to update to something newer & safer.

Sadly this is kinda out of my hands as it concerns old unofficial releases,

and all I can do is to block you & force to update,

but anyone who would have done that format

with or without anything related to my CM13 Unification

would end up in the current mess happening to a few now.

An other more "normal" news is that I made an updated release today,

which also has lockscreen blur UI removed, because although it worked fine for me,

under heavy usage it can start performing too slowly & my attempts to add

the ability of making the option "off by default" for the moment being vain,

I don't want the feature on for all new / upgrading users, so let's forget it.

Good night !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fineb:
I had the last Nightly build of CM 12 on the phone, just in case, that there is a difference in the code

cm-12-20151108-NIGHTLY-mint.zip

I don't blame you for my mistake, **** happens.

BR Fine
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Yup reread afterwards, & I think the core issue is really to use an old TWRP build

and to format the SDCard, that's the only common factor that looks wrong.

What I'll do is to block the flash when using any old TWRP that is not younger than my own last TWRP or official TWRP,

most likely will condemn the old faulty TWRP images I guess & make sure nobody uses them anymore.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:
me too
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fineb:
A remark to this, I formatted the internal SD card out of TWRP 3.02, the version was twrp-3.0.2-20160723-boot-mint.img.

The step were:

1) install TWRP installer via Playstore

2) install TWRP 2.8 via Installer

3) install twrp-3.0.2-20160723-boot-mint.img out of TWRP 2.8

4) there was a boot loop, whatever I chose, I always came into the new TWRP

5) formatted the internal SD Card

6) installed the CM13 Image

7) had a brick!

This just to clarify, so that everybody can read, which steps produce a brick :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maphios:
I'm still on the 20160718-build before the unification came up.

Now if I want to update to the latest build and migrate to one big partition I have to empty the internal storage like you wrote in your first post:

As I'm not quite sure how to do that properly, I wanted to ask what exactly is the best way to empty the internal storage?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Majonez89:
Hi all. I use 20160729 version.

My problems:

- Camera close sometimes when i try to take a picture.

- I feel battery is draining a little faster than CM12.1 Rom.

- Keyboard close sometimes when i try to write something in browser.

- I can't hear the called people when i make a call. This problem make the Rom unusable for me.

Pro's:

- VERY FAST Rom without lag, Phone working faster than ever.

- FM Radio, it's a good idea.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
I don't have any of the problems you guys are mentioning, maybe try clean install and don't use old data.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TL@:
I really love this ROM, it's fast (like really fast), I can get lots of apps on there without the storage problems I had before (before unified storage)

Battery is still OK

Only 1 thing left for this ROM to be perfect: POKEMON Go doesn't work like it should: GPS is not accurate (hard to bread out your eggs) and it crashes from time to time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] open-mind:
thanks a lot for FM Radio and FM recording :victory: :good:

BUT

Sometimes FM Recording is almost just noise record :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] M00ny-ONE:
Blur UI

Can you please add BlurUI again? i love this feature and some do not. how about a toggle feature? A switch to dissable/enable this feature would be nice.

PS: best ROM ever :* the newest update is perfect
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
No it's gone for good for the moment.

The feature is toggleable in the lock screen settings already,

however it will always be on by default & my commits to allow devices

setting it off by default do not have much success so far so probably will not go in.

And Blue Adreno 225 (2xx) is too old to perform 100% properly in all situations.

Since I removed the feature again, I noticed a small but still interesting

gain of smoothness due to the blur being disabled entirely.

Huashan on the other hand performs greatly with its Adreno 320.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] M00ny-ONE:
Bugs

Only to mention: i have none of these issues others have posted here like battery drain, camera etc.

the only bug i found was wlan connection issues in deep sleep - this is NOT a problem with the rom . BUT IT CAN BE FIXED IN THE ROM .

The issue happends with some routers (speedport / fritz box ) which are not sending the ARP signal . Earlier in CM11 there was a funktuion to dissable the wifi optimisation . this is gone since CM12.

As for now I have to manually set these evry time I flash a new update

Just google the problem and you will find what i mean.

[MENTION=237595]AdrianC[/MENTION] , if it is possible for you to bring this feature back, this would be nice.

the function only needs to contain:

In the File system/etc/Firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

the hostNSOffload=0 has to be changed to hostNSOffload=1

IMPORTANT: Problems are a little higher battery drain - so it would be nice to toggle it as in CM11 for people not having this issue.

I hope you understand what i want to mention :D my english is not the best.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Realmind:
I have Sony headapeakers for 100$ . I have better sound with jelly bean how its possible? Can I install original Sony drivers?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Klaus N.:
Afaik, Adrian DC's goal is to bring cm13 to the official builds of cm, and dt2s is already implemented as a standard in cm. Therefore, I don't think so. But correct me, if I'm wrong :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
DT2W is not a question of simply "wanting" to enable it,

but the capacity of the touchscreen to support those features.

For the time being, none of the blue touchscreen drivers support it,

and quiet obviously not a priority.

For a fact, Huashan never got a fully working dt2w for now.

Bad battery in your 4+ year old device?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Thumaroil:
Reboots with POKEGO

Guys, I know it's not a priority - but my daughter is playing Pokemon Go on her Moto G 1st (no problems at all on CM13) and I want to keep up. But after a few minutes at most, sometimes even after a few seconds of uptime of the game - my Mint is rebooting. I have changed the battery - with the old one it would simply switch itself off. Now it is - as I said rebooting after time, even when the battery is loaded fully and even if I charge externally while playing (then it runs the longest time, but after five minutes or so it is over). So playing the game is not possible. I really love my mint and am not willing to make a switch, now that I have Marshmallow...

Now I had a reboot while browsing the play-store....

May be the new battery is still too old or a fraud - even though it was sold as new. Is anyone playing the game without problems?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thankyou

Thumaroil

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] 8hodgsonkh:
I think you got ripped off mate. Seems like the battery you replaced with was already used. I got a brand new battery and made SURE it was new and my problems disappeared!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] markus1540:
Nope, replaced it 9 months ago with a new one.

Worked fine with WhiteNeos CM12.1 builds.

My problem seems to originate from trying to flash AdrianDCs CM13 with the old TWRP integrated in WhiteNeos build, which wiped the internal memory.

I tried to start a discussion about possible (full) recovery in the Q&A section but sadly nobody replied to it as of now.

Already ordered a new device but I'm still willing to offer my Mint as a test device here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Before everyone starts posting "error 7" ...

"Please update to latest TWRP recovery"

All you need is to read the output in the recovery, Adrian is forcing everyone to update to latest recovery so users can avoid troubles that had with older ones.

edit:

Also in last build there is a shortcut for managing root accesses implemented by Adrian in Settings > Developer options > right under Root access option.

edit2: Also there is new offline charger and new inbuilt theme from CyanogenOS.

Hello.

I have been testing for few days Neo's CM 12.1. I had some issues at the beggining but all have been solved. It looks much better then original 4.3 ROM. The problem is that while in idle mode the battery consumption is more or less the same during but while I do something with my phone the consumption is very high. Do you think that the situation is the same with 13.0? What are the benefits and disadvantages of 13.0 when compared to Neo's 12.1?

Also am not very experienced user. I do understand what custom recovery is and what is ROM but when it comes to handling with these think or got sometimes lost. I usually take my time before I am sure that I understand everything. Right now I am not sure what unification of user partitions actually mean and whether I have to do it or not. And if yes then how?

To get 12.1 was pretty easy. I just flashed latest TWRP, booted to TWRP, installed CM12.1, then Gapps and then SuperSU. Is this exactly the same with 13.0? Or there is something special with unification? And do I have to flash SuperSU? I am sorry I don't completely get it from your guide but I want to be sure what I am doing.

Thank you

sorry guys but i have some doubts reading op, probably because of my poor English.

i see there is the unification part and then the install part. is the unification part mandatory?

and also, in the unification part i see first flash the "rom zip for my device", then the "cm release"... aren't them the same thing? need to flash them twice? or what is the "rom zip for my device"?

thanks a lot in advance guys
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]: It's the same zip. I updated the main post to remove the doubt.

And yes this unification is required, otherwise you'll be stuck with only 2GB for apps installations, cache & all app related things.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:

About TWRP: It is not required. Everything can be done on CyanogenRecovery.

TWRP is simply easier to use and has more features available.

immediately after flashing the rom, data in the internal sd is not accessible anymore via twrp it seems, so i was a little worried, but after booting the phone i got everything back :) is that normal?

and is anyone using the extsd as adopted storage? would like to try but don't know if that can conflict/mess up anything with the unified user data, if then twrp will see data inside it etc :p

Good for you the SG4 has some merits but you can still can have some fun with Mint.

Btw, I was curious and enabled "force GPU rendering" and Mint started to randomly and often switching off by itself just when I was working with the launcher and the menues.

I was using the older version of this rom and it was freezing the phone in the lockscreen, it would suddenly not wake up anymore when i lock it and i would have to restart it with pwr + volup. This latest nightly solved it. I've been using by this week and it's working great. No more trouble with waking up the device and the using experience is even better. I just made an XDA account to thank the developer to to his awesome work. I really appreciate it, thanks a lot. The only bug i found, if it could be called a bug, is when i try to put a large image as the lockscreen wallpaper, it goes crazy and laggy, but is totally fine the way it is :)
