NOTES

BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH SONY DEVICES

1. ITS ALWAYS BEST TO REBOOT THE DEVICE SIGN IN TO GOOGLE ETC AND THEN SHUT DOWN DEVICE BEFORE FLASHING ANY KERNEL & RECOVERY

2. ALL KERNELS PROVIDED ARE PATCHED USING SCRIPT BY SIR [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]

3. FLASHTOOL MUST BE LASTEST AND ALL DRIVERS MUST BE INSTALLED

4. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU HAVE A BRICK DEVICE AND / OR BOOTLOOPS THEN PRESSING POWER+VOLUMEUP KEYS FOR 15SECONDS, SHUTS THE DEVICE DOWN FOR YOU TO CONNECT THE DEVICE IN FASHMODE AND FLASH THE FTF AGAIN.

5. FOR DETAILED PRETEXT PLEASE CHECK THIS POST

6. AND FOR FLASHING PLEASE CHECK THIS POST ALSO ​
