I'm looking into rooting and putting a custom ROM on my XA1 but there aren't any ROMs available apart from AOSP so if anyone has used it or is using it or know of any available ROMs let me know please
Cheers ?
Xa1
Good morning, I'm also looking for files for the Xa1. In my case, it's the G3123, in which I got no success rooting the device.
I only got installing the Twrp, and it worked flashing the supersu, but when I restarted the device, the root was not avaliable, then I got nothing until now.
Will have some group for discuss about the Xperia Xa1?
Thanks

Have been searching for it from many days but am unable to find it!
What I need is going back to Stock ROM from CyanogenMod.
I don't have an arc. It is for my friend. Actually he asked me to root his mobile. But I installed CM in it because I liked CM in my 'Samsung Galaxy ACE'. He accepts that CM is fast but he is asking me to install stock firmware in it. He is saying that he is missing some features like timescape.
Switching ROMS in ARC (even in my ACE) is very simple. But I would like to know how to install Stock ROM over Custom ROMs in ARC. Can I simply use flashtool for it? Or will I end up bricking the mobile?
If at all if I end up bricking his mobile then he may ask my 'Sony Xperia S' that I ordered just few days ago!!! (LOL!)
Damn! Things were very simple in Samsung Phones! But in sony, understanding the terms itself is taking a hell lot of time for me!
Wrong section..should be in Q&A...
You need to download flashtool and flash a generic firmware. JUST SEARCH! THIS QUESTIONS BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES BEFORE so you could easily have found the answer before starting this new thread.

hi everyone
i got a sony arc lt15a with a locked bootloader
i have got root and installed the CWM auto installer
i have tried to install some the ICS roms from the recovery screen but phone just hangs at Sony ericsson screen and does nothing. i was able to recover no problem.
i was wondering, what roms can i flash that will work? it can be ics or even a leaner version of gb that will work smoothly
thank you kindly,

ICS and GB roms have different kernels so before you try to use install the rom from CWM make sure you have installed the correct kernel. I'm not too sure what options are available anymore for locked bootloaders because most roms now incorporate tweaks that aren't supported by them. I would just take a look around the dev section for ROM, if they don't specify they need a unlocked bootloader then drop the dev a mail asking.
Thank you
It honestly looks like every single rom I have come across requires unlocked boot loader. That why I thought I would if some one has seen something specific
Basically I want a leaner and smoother rom then the current Sony one

Best one I found was the t.e.a.m stock from for 2011 xperia devices. Also installed the xperia big pack theme from the theme section. Looks and performs great man. I am also on a locked boot loader for now but am very happy with the look and feel of this

its best to unlock the bootloader because good custom roms need unlocked bootloader
Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.
Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.

Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim

There is no N rom for this phone with battery life or stability even close to any stock KK or LP rom. All ROMs after LP are experimental and buggy to some degree. Also, since there is no official stock rom after LP, anything else would require a computer to unlock bl.
I would suggest flashing the MX ROM as far as I know this is the LP with best battery life now. It can be installed on locked bootloader and is as stable as stock LP.

Thanks for ur suggestion. Yes i know mx rom. Been reading the forum for a litle while. Worth to try
And not to forget that there are no security patches for stock LP since.... a long time. That is why a lot are using new roms although the battery life is not so great in comparison to stock roms.
Guys forget about MX rom! There is new ROM by munjeni out there. It is based on Lineage OS 14.1. It has decent battery life, good camera (almost like on stock), great stability, all security patches and is smooth like butter.

Im straight to it now
Thanks mate
yes, that rom from munjeni also looks the best for me. When I have time I will upgrade fom to Jaguar ROM to that one.
If you have stock KITKAT you CAN'T flash 5.1 or newer roms via recovery.
This is because from android L the partition scheme is changed, so you MUST use flashtool to flash first the stock LP ROM.
If you flash a LP rom via dual recovery in kitkat you'll brick your phone!
And I'm surprised that no one said it to you.
Once you flashed stock LP, rooted, installed REAL RECOVERY and unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom ROM.
If you don't unlock your bootloader you can flash ONLY STOCK BASED rom.
Cheers, and good luck. (I hope you didn't brick you phone)

1. Use latest TWRP.
2. Follow proper ROM flashing instructions.
you will not loose your IMEI if you follow all procedures carefully. All the ROMS for our device are already Good .My choice is Mokee 8.1. Super stable, good performance assuming you don't do much of the gaming.
Thanx man. I already took stock rom backup in case i lost my imei restore will make everything ook? any stable pie rom? I love subst Themes in oreo. many icons can't be changed like battery that's why i want to install rom
