[Q] How to?? Please advise or help~~

Hi, I've download some files to upgrade my xperia s from "Xperia S Android Development"
After unzip the files, it become two directory files called... "META-INF", "System"
I'm wondering how to set it up those files to my phone???
Please advise and help~~~ thanks!!!

you dont need to extract the files you need to flash it in the cwm.
click my signature "Read ME" , its best to read it.

Quick idea of what to do (it's better to follow a full tutorial though):
- Unlock bootloader ( unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com )
- Put ZIP in the main folder of your phone SDcard (both kernel & firmware/rom image, so 2 ZIPs)
- Get fastboot files for your PC, flash to a CWM image
- Follow a CWM tutorial on how to flash the kernel & firmware

1- Unlock the boot loader from sony website.
2- Install CWM recovery
3- copy the rom on the hard drive of the phone
4- open CWM and choose boot in recovery
5- Using the volume buttons choose install zip from sdcard (using the camera button) then go to the directory where you copied the rom and choose it
6- Installation will start and enjoy
P.S: I do recommend NOVA-rom RC2 and the NOVA kernel 1.1.1, very smooth and stable
Hope I helped

[MEGA]Titanium S1,Cherry Flame2.0,KTouch U86 Kiss,Archos 45 Platinum

Hello Everybody!!
Recently when going through the xda forums for the devices Karbonn Titanium S1, Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0, K-Touch Hornet u86 kiss , I noticed that a lot of people have questions regarding Stock rom, Recovery rooting and Solutions for Brick.However most of the posts have been left unanswered or died for some reason.
Hence I decided to open a thread that can be used to solve general problems and issues regarding the Device.
NOTE:- Archos 45 Platinum too has similar device specifications.The same CWM version worked for @best98 who is using an Archos 45 Platinum.
Tip:Using CWM touch recovery
When using the CWM Touch recovery you may notice that it is not really working properly and that touch is not doing anything. The fact is the touch is being registered and that the touch method is different than normal android because of limited drivers in recovery.
The working
Use one finger touch to scroll
Use two finger touch to select item
Installing a Recovery Menu
Using PC
1) Install the Mobile Drivers.
2) Download Minimal ADB And fastboot [Windows users] Linux and Mac users might have to download the whole Android sdk as of now.
3) Download the recovery you want from the attachments below.
4) Rename them to recovery.img after extracting and copy it to a folder of know location.
5) Boot your device into fastboot mode.i.e Power on your mobile by pressing and holding Power button and vol+ Key.until you see A green screen.
6) Connect your device to the PC and open Minimal ADB and fastboot
7) Run the command " fastboot flash recovery C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG".
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
8) Wait untill it completes and VOILA new recovery installed.
Note: In case you want to preserve your stock recovery, run the command "fastboot boot C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG"
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
Using Mobile
Simple Method.
Just install the TACK Manager from here and install the recovery .Enjoy .
Not so simple method
Download the flashable recoveries from Below and flash it through CWM Or TWRP [Yes, you need custom recovery for this to flash]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting Your Device
Method 1: Through CWM/TWRP
1) Download the SuperSU package provided below.
2) Copy it to the root of your SDCard
3) Select Install zip from SDCard
Method 2:Through Framaroot
Personally I Did not get any success by this method.But lot of users reported it to to work by using the Gandalf exploit.
Also some versions of framaroot work better on some devices as compared to others.So maybe just have to check which version works for our Mobile.
1) Download and install Framaroot.apk
2) On the exploits list select Gandalf
3) It'll probably crash the first time and apparently work the second time you launch it.
As I Am not sure which version of framaroot works for this mobile hence no upload

4) Goto Advanced and format Dalvik Cache
5) Select Apply Zip from SD Card

7) Reboot and voila.
Note:This is assuming you are using CWMR

In case you end up Formatting /SYS_BOOT Partition then you'll most likely end up in this.There might be few other cases when this can happen but none that i am aware of.
If you Have a Linux Desktop
If you have access to Linux PC then connect your mobile to it and mount the partition which is around 50 MB. Download the Images.zip from below.unzip the file and copy the whole folder to the 50 MB partition.
Your File structure should look something like this
-\50MBPartition
-\image
-\AMSS.MBN
-\AMSSHD.MBN​

Its not necessary to flash or reset the soft brick using any OS,
U can do it by CWM also.
1]For softbrick u can just factory reset and wipe cache
2] for flashing u can mount and remount sdcard and copy the .zip file to it and choose install zip from sdcard

Flashing recovery went terribly wrong on Xperia S

Hi
So yesterday I was trying to install TWRP recovery in order to install Cyanogenmod 11 on Xperia S , I followed a tutorial on techglen, the problem is that now I only have the recovery on my phone , it boots instead of the system , the system files are still there but I can't boot on it , If i connect my phone to my computer I can't access the storage even if I mount it using TWRP
So i have some questions
Is my phone broken?
Instead of flashing a .elf file i flashed the .img instead , is that the source of the problem? ( i didn't do it on purpose , but i didn't pay attention :/ )
can i flash the boot.img of the old system to get it back on booting ?
If there's a way of pushing the CM11 into my phone and installing it would that fix my problem?
Can i use flash tool to flash my old system back ?

Hi,
do you have the zip file of your custom rom on internal stockage ?
(browse file with 'Install" on TWPR)
If yes, you just have to flash it with TWPR.
Here's what I did (will do a clean install and delete previous setting, contact, app data ...) :
- Download ROM + Gapps and copy to sdcard (internal stockage)
- Flash boot.img with FlashTool
- Reboot on recovery (TWPR)
- Factory Reset (Wipe --> "Switch to Factory Reset")
- Format System (Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select System)
- Install New ROM (Install and choose Zip)
- Reboot on ROM to set basic settings
- Reboot on recovery to Flash Gapps
- Wipe Cache (Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select Cache)
- Reboot on System
If you don't have zip file on internal stockage, you may go back first on Stock Rom with FlashTool.
Flash stock ftf(6.2.b.1.96), you can easily find it using search function.
Then you can do like I explained.

Well thanks a lot for your answer man !
when i put on flash mode and try to flash it with flashtool , the phone leaves flash mode after like 40 seconds
I tried installing the drivers ( from flashtool/drivers ) but it didn't change anything :/

Do not confused Fastboot and Flashmode.
Normaly you just have to :
(I guess your tft is already in "firmwares" folder of FlashTool)
- start FlashTool (with Administrator Rights on Windows)
- clic on "Flash device"
- select "Flashmode"
- select all file in "Content"
- clic on "Flash"
- your xperia s must be poweroff and unpluged
- Press the back button (still powered off)
- Then plug the USB cable
After that your phone boot in Flashmode and flashing start.
If they don't work, what is the error ?

Don't put your device on flashmode until flashtool tell you because flashtool takes about 1 minute and 20 seconds to finish extract ftf file

You can simply try pushing the CM11 zip to Your phone when You are in twrp and Your phone is detected on the PC. You won't be able to see it as mounted storage. You will see the device when You run:
Code:
adb devices
Then Use the command to push:
Code:
adb push path/to/rom /sdcard
And then flash the ROM.

Now the steps will be different depending on what rom you currently have installed if you have a custom or beta firmware/rom installed and twrp you will need to:
Firstly Flash Your Recovery to Stock = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231
Flash B132= Extract the B132 file and copy it's dload folder onto your internal memory>then reboot your phone into recovery by>holding pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts recovery>after it finishes setup your phone then follow the next step
Flash B510 =(do not flash with recovery) do so by taking the zip file as is(do not extract) and copying it onto your P6's internal memory under the dload folder(if it's not there create it) then on your P6's goto settings>about phone>system update>local>update then let it update.When it's done you have successfully installed Kitkat, if you want go on to (optional further steps)
Flash TWRP = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231 then
Install the mods =Reboot to Recovery>hold pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts> Start with Pure graphics>Pure Performance>Pure audio>Bravia>then clear cache> Reboot > And You are done you have a optimized B510 rom
Or if you are already on a stock rom like B111 or so then you can just:
skip the 1 instruction on the list and just do the rest.
[Note]
You can replace B510 with B512,B513 if you wanted to.
B512 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B512.zip
B513 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B513.zip
Method B
1. Start with Paranoid Android, OMNI or any other AOSP-based ROM.
2. Back up all data with Titanium backup and copy everything you need from your internal storage. ATTENTION: The internal storage will be wiped while flashing, so the backup MUST be on your SD-Card.
3. Copy dload folder to SD-Card or internal storage. (there should be no difference)
4. Boot to TWRP and make a backup in-case something goes wrong.
5. In TWRP wipe everything except internal and external storage.
6. In TWRP choose reboot to bootloader. Confirm that no OS is installed and don't install SuperSU.
7. Plug your phone in your PC and open a CMD.
8. Download B510 recovery.img and boot.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=51718316.
9. Follow the instructions by @surdu_petru(method1)
(or use this(method 2)choose install recovery image first, then the boot image
or use Method 3>
copy both the recovery and boot img files to your adb folder then>
run these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
. IMPORTANT: When the flashing is finished and the phone reboots unplug the USB cable then wait for recovery to open and let it install.
10. You are finished!! The first boot takes some time no need to panic.
Additional:
Reinstall TWRP and flash SuperSU for Root. Than you can restore your backup you made in the second step.

Maybe i got you wrong, but is it possible that i share the ROM with others? Or do you mean that the DIY ROM is only for ourself?
PS: The link for Pure Graphic HD Mod does not work, theres is a typo. The right URL is
"http://www.mediafire.com/download/zi7q6fk7cm9lclq/Pure_Graphic_HD_%28Rendering+Version%29.zip"

Hi i'm the guy how have cyanogen on my T3 , I just wanted to warn you for the rom, select the FXP-cm12-20150412...
And not the FXP-cm12.1 ...
otherwise your phone will bootloop, and when you make the first start of the phone , don't worry if after the bootanimation there's a black screen just wait 2-3 minutes for the update
So enjoy Cyanogen Xperia Users

Cyanogen ROM are distributed in zip format, so you have to :
- push the zip file to your sdcard
- you need a kernel with recovery (for the time being, the Philz one)
- you enter in recovery mode
- you select "install zip" and the zip file.
once it's finished, install the right kernel
for that, on your PC, extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip file and flash it with flashtool or fastboot
reboot and enjoy

I don't install cyanogen like that,
First I update my phone with EMMA with the Open devices TA
-After I open the zip of the rom and i extract it somewhere you can find it
-take the zip AND THE GAPPS and connect your phone on usb for sending the zip on THE ROOT of your sdcard
-Enter in fastboot, and open flashtool (not emma the other)
-Flash the kernel called : boot.img
-Once Flashed reboot your phone in recovery (up button when the led is purple or violet)
-The led became gold color
- You now are (normaly) in cyanogen recovery
-Wipe data/Factory reset
-Wipe Cache for avoid bugs
-Now the fun part
-Apply update select the ROM and after the GAPPS
-Reboot and enjoy !
If the screen is black for a while after boot it's normal it's the system update
I also recommand you to take the
FXP-cm-12-20150412-UNOFFICIAL-seagull.zip
file because the other in cm12.1 are bootlooping
Now you can enjoy properly without camera and 3G/4G cyanogen
Sorry for my english I'm just a 14 french kid

This is for D5103 the D5102 isn't the seagull this name is ONLY for the D5103
For the manipulation you will need emma (called flashtool by sony,for updating the bootloader)
And flashtool by Androxyde (this only is for flash kernel)
:highfive: now you're ready
Enjoy cyanogen on our t3 :laugh:

I got bricked meanwhile. Battery problem I think, not the first time...

ok, i think there is a missunderstanding.
in order to flash the kernel, you need to be in fastboot mode (with the blue light). so, once you have installed the zip file, shut down the phone (in recovery mode, select "power options/power off" , disconnect the phone and reconnect it in fastboot (maintain the vol up before and during the USB connection ).
you can now use "flashtool" (the Androxyde's one. to avoid confusion, the Sony's one is called EMMA or if it is more easy for you fastboot.exe
to use fastboot, you open a command line (Windows+R + type "cmd") , you go to the folder where the boot.img is and you enter the comand "fastboot flash boot boot.img". after ~2s the kernel is flashed, you can disconnect the phone and restart.
the first time, the boot time is about 5 min with a black screen after the animated screen, so wait a moment.
it's for that it's very important to have a well charged phone (min 40%) because the first start use a lot of battery, and you can't see anything.

I want to restore, I just installed the zip. Why cant I enter recovery?
edit: ok, I entered cyanogen recovery. will try to boot now. but I dont have backup/restore option....
