Okay, new problem !
Thought I managed to install everything, cause it booted up and so on.
But when I unlock the phone, it's stuck in flight-mode =(!

Some people really should not be trying to flash a phone !!!!!!
Sorry ! :banghead:
Wright down ALL the steps you did ! So we can provide good help .... guessing is no fun !

Yeah, sorry, I thought it would be as easy to flash my One X as it was with my o2x.
I checked the log (kept it open) and I see now that I failed to flash Fastboot KIT V8.5!
I also thought that I (like the old times) should have flashed the rom in the custom recovery, but I see that I should probably have done that in Windows aswell!

Partial correct , you need to flash the rom in recovery and the boot.img that is found in the rom.zip file with fastboot commands from pc to the phone in fastboot mode
And let's be honest, if you have to ask what a custom recovery is afterwards then the homework is not done !

The recovery is kinda like BIOS on Windows. This sentence really cleared up my thoughts.

I've found the boot.img and I tried to flash it through fastboot mode, just said Failed: Remote not allowed.
Like I said before about the recovery-thing : wanted to make sure I didn't **** things up (which I evidently did anyways).
And yes, I do understand your point about that the homework haven't been done.
I noticed (and read) the first time you wrote about "some people", I've gotten the point .
Promise that I will read up more!

Is your bootloader still unlocked ? Flashing recovery went oke ?

Home in 1 1/2 hour. Bootloader is still unlocked and cwm is installed. Installed maximus through recovery but as said... can't get the phone out off airplane-mode :<.

Oke uhm the maximum rom is a ICS rom ? Not trying to flash a JB rom did you ?
And if the bootloader is unlocked you should flash the boot.img oke . Hmmm
You did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
With the command in dos prompt ?

maXimus is a JB-rom, yes.
Yes, fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command I used.
EDIT: I missed the point where I was supposed to extract and start a .bat-file, apparently it's been done before and I must have missed out on searching for that for some strange reason...
*snip snip*
Tried updating 8.0.1 to 8.5.0 using the otherwise promising OTA feature.
Unfortunately, it resulted in a complete cluster-f¤ck.
Yes, I did NOT do a full wipe during the update.
Now, I have no cell coverage at all. Airplane Mode is ON, "Closing".... When I go to Settings > About, the software information shows no Baseband version, so no baseband driver installled...(?)
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, clearing cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions and rebooting again, but this fixed nothing...
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, resetting phone, but this fixed nothing...
Another example of ALWAYS having to doing a full wipe when updating customs ROMs, I gues...
Sigh...
I think there is something wrong with the ROM. I made a full whipe (came from ardh 12) and i have the same. No guide selecting network and flightmode is on and no service. I have tried reflashing and making a whipe after flash but still problem.
First i though it was a kernel issue but no boot.img in the rom-file.
*snip snip*
So, yes. I'm a total dimwit =).
Finally solved atleast, thanks alot for the help!

I think you have to flash a ICS rom. What is your hboot number ? Is you're hboot 1.12 then you can not flash a JB rom !
You can find hboot version in the bootloader menu
Try a ics rom and i think you will be fine !
Try this
Put Rom.zip on sd card
Extract boot.img and flash it in fastboot
Enter recovery and wipe/factory reset
Wipe all caches / dalvik cache
And charge the phone full first before going at it again ... might be good to do !
Flash Rom and reboot .... I will bet it boots up fine

Thanks for the help, but the rom is installed... and yes, it is JellyBean =).

posted on rumrunner.us. should work for both primou and primoc. Note, it is highly recommended (mandatory?) to be on a normal sense-based ICS rom and using an unsecure (preferably stock based) kernel. If you get poor results with other configurations, don't bother asking for help please!

S-OFF is here rumrunner.us
Huge thanks to beaups
This rom is probably most compatible with rumrunner
The boot.img inside is unsecure so flash away and GO GET S-OFFED!!!
Here's the unsecure boot.img that I used to achieve s-off.

Added init.d support
Added Root Permissions with Chainfire's SuperSu
This ROM was cooked with dsixda's Android Kitchen
Thank you and credit goes out to the both of them.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
I have posted this ROM for safetynet/fall-back purposes.
I've noticed fellas posting please help, I forgot/didn't make a backup.
This is for you. Worried and maybe even a little scared that your phone is now a beautiful paper weight.
This ROM is completely stock with added init.d support and root.
It is still odexed, and with stock kernel.( I'm still learning/attempting to build one with extra governors and over clocking abilities ).
Instructions below....
1. Unlock your Bootloader by following the instructions at htcdev
1a. If you've succesfully unlocked your Bootloader, that means you have your fastboot files on your PC and know in general how to use them.
2. Download an openrecovery of your choice. I personally use TeamWinRecoveryProject 2.2.0 without any issues at all. (See the attached File)
3. Place the recovery.img that you have chosen into your fastboot folder.
3a. Change the name of the .img to recovery.img (just easier that way when sending the flash command)
4. Now open a terminal while in the fastboot folder.
4a. On Windows- hold shift+right click the mouse then click open command terminal here.
4b. On Ubuntu- CTRL+ALT+T to open a terninal then cd fastboot.
5.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​
5a. ^^^^^ Type this into the terminal. ^^^^^
5b. You now have a custom/openrecovery.
6. After the recovery.img is flashed, reboot your Bootloader.
6a. fastboot reboot-bootloader​
7. After booted back into bootloader, use your volume-down button to highlight Recovery.
Now press your Power button to select it.
7a. Now your are in Recovery!
8. Click Wipe, then Cashe, then Dalvick, then Factory Rest, then System.
8a. This will wipe all of your phone nice and clean for a fresh install.
9. Click Home, then Install, and find the ROM.zip, click it, then install. Let it finish installing the click Wipe Cashe/Dalvick.
10. Navigate back to the Home screen and click Reboot, then Bootloader
10a. I hope you have a copy of the ROM.zip on your PC.
11. Open the ROM.zip and copy/extract the boot.img from inside it and place it in your fastboot folder.
12. Open a terminal once again.
13.fastboot flash boot boot.img​
13a. Let it finish.
14. fastboot reboot​
15. Enjoy.
These instructions are for use with TWRP (TeamWinRecoveryProject) They may be different using CWMrecovery (ClockWorkMod).
I made a backup of my stock rom via twrp. Updated the kernel and installed shpongle. When I tried to go back to my stock via twrp it would not boot due to the kernel. I wonder if that will be the case here

I just downloaded and flashed to test, everything is working....Just like stock
This should allow me to update my PRL, right?
YUP!
Turns out it was a network fluke?

I'll cross reference the updater-script to another one I've used on a different Rom I cooked and have been running for over two weeks..... See if there are any differences between the two.

Ok I found a difference in the updater-script, the update binaries are identical so that shouldn't be the issue. Problem I have is that I don't have a working computer to fix the updater-script. It won't be until June 26th that I can apply it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
P.S. are you flashing with TWRP?
Yes sir, TWRP. and no worries, it apparently just isn't your ROM. Angry HTC and jmz's stock ROM both give the same error. even after a full format of the SD. Rhythmic Rom 1.4 works though, and is what I was running. Was trying to return the device to somewhat stock tho as im either going to sell it or let my gf use it, so I was hoping for stable and to have the charge LED and icons working, hopefully.

If you downgrade TWRP to 2.3 you should be fine.
Sent from my One V using xda premium
ah, I'm on 2.5, so I'll look into that...
did the downgrade to TWRP 2.3.0.0, still the only thing i can install is Rhythimc Rom, everything else fails to install... unless i just got some really crappy downloads, so i'm off to try to dl the roms again...
Actually, instead I swapped out recoveries for CWM. aaaand it worked.

Try reflashing 4ext recovery. Do this by downloading the 4ext as a PB99IMG.zip, and installing it like this.
Then continue to flash a rom, as said by abaaaabbbb63.

Anyways, you already have 4ext. As I said in my post above, just download a ROM, put it on your sd-card, do a full wipe (except sd-card), and then flash the ROM.

U already have 4ext recovery so dont worry bout the PB99IMG
The PB99IMG is not a zip u flash in recovery, its done in bootloader (instruction for were given to ya how to flash it plus instructions were there in the thread were u downloaded it)
Now follow the instructions given above to flash a rom. Il give u more
1) download a rom u want
2) put it on ur sdcard
3) boot into recovery
4) go to wipe/format
5) format all partitions except sdcard
6) go to install from sdcard
7) flash rom u downloded
8) reboot
9) enjoy
Ps: i hope u made an ext4 partition, if not then check andu's sig for a guide and do that first. Once thats done then follow these instructions to flash ur rom.
Edit: andu beat me to it

[Q] Trying to get Cyanogenmod on my Z1 Compact

Hi
I tried to get CM on my new Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, but I wasn't successful. I followed the standard guideline on the CM-Wiki and everything seemed to go well so far, but it doesn't start: I was waiting for about 30 minutes after the final reboot but it still went only in circles at the splash screen
I have tried the experimental from 2014/03/14 and the nightly from 2014/03/26 and 2014/03/27, but unfortunately no success with any of these versions.
I know, it's still a very early version, but I thought, at least I should be able to install it. Has someone already get it working on this device?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem as you Muetze1007. I followed the guide from cyanogenmod wiki and tried to install a nightly version of official Amami but I get stuck at the Cyanongenmod logo...
I had a look at the topic you linked Xperienced but then I got stuck at the page (I can't post the link, the page with "unrestrict" in its URL)... What am I supposed to download ?
are there some GPU / CPU OC funktion on the CM Kernel?

Thanks XperienceD, I already went there and read everything carefully, went to the unrestrict.li website and then couldn't find an Amami rom...
However when going on the FXPblog I managed to find one (FXP316-cm-11-20140421-UNOFFICIAL-amami.zip) and tried to install it following instructions (fastboot flash boot boot.img, then recovery mode, install from sdcard...).
I am still blocked at the Cyanogenmod loading screen on the boot sequence...
Xperienced I noticed you were talking about a specific kernel, noob question but is it something different from the rom ? (ie the zip file)

Extract the boot.img file to where your fastboot.exe is, run the command you have which will install the kernel then reboot, enter CWM then flash the zip after wiping data and caches and that should be it. Yes, the kernel and ROM are two separate things.

I wasn't sure what and where the kernel was (ie, the boot.img file). I've already done that before, it seems I had permission problem to wipe data, which I managed to solve by formatting some folders. It's working now

Same problem, exact solution please?
Hi,
Sorry for revisiting this thread but it appears I have the same exact problem as the OP. I followed the instructions on the CM wiki (got the prepackaged rom from FXP, extracted boot.img, unlocked bootloader, flashed boot.img, booted into recovery and selected the zip file to flash to the device. An odd phenomenon occurred when I tried mounting data, this gave me an error. Also, I couldn't seem to choose the zip from SD card but from storage/SD or so...can't remember the exact wording. But after all that I rebooted and it just slowed the alien with the spinning arrow and got stuck there. So for the ones who solved this particular problem, what did you have to do to make it behave? Some ADB commands perhaps? I'd really like this to work because the CM11 ROM is heaps more accessible (meaning blind-friendly) than the stuff Sony ships with the phone by default, something which is useful for me, being fully blind and all.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide,

Sorry for revisiting this thread but it appears I have the same exact problem as the OP. I followed the instructions on the CM wiki (got the prepackaged rom from FXP, extracted boot.img, unlocked bootloader, flashed boot.img, booted into recovery and selected the zip file to flash to the device. An odd phenomenon occurred when I tried mounting data, this gave me an error. Also, I couldn't seem to choose the zip from SD card but from storage/SD or so...can't remember the exact wording. But after all that I rebooted and it just slowed the alien with the spinning arrow and got stuck there. So for the ones who solved this particular problem, what did you have to do to make it behave? Some ADB commands perhaps? I'd really like this to work because the CM11 ROM is heaps more accessible (meaning blind-friendly) than the stuff Sony ships with the phone by default, something which is useful for me, being fully blind and all.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide,
Zersiax

I flashed CWM today, got the Rom from here: http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/
I used fxp323
I had CWM and TWRP installed, but I only used CWM. I like TWRP more but it seems CM is more CWM fixated.
Used linux. Its easy, only installed android-tools (I'm using ubuntu-gnome but with fedora, opensuse or manjaro or debian it should be the same).
Download fxp 323.
Copy the zip to the sdcard of your phone.
Unzip the fxp323 on yor pc. Copy boot.img to inside downloads.
Open the terminal on pc.
code: cd Downloads
adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
put your phone in fastboot (blue LED) there is nice tool from doomlord for this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doomlord.xperiareboot&hl=de
connect with usb-cable to pc when the led is blue
fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version (for verifying your fastboot connection)
sudo fastboot devices (for verifying your fastboot connection)
sudo fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
sudo fastboot -i 0x0fce reboot
now go CWM and flash the fxp323.zip
reboot
CM11 is fine, The only bad thing is That you loose the fm-radio which comes with the sony software. If anybody has an idea how to get it back please tell.

I think what a lot of people are missing is that after unlocking the bootloader, the device deletes the /data/media (internal storage) partition but doesn't format it. CM11 doesn't format this partition as part of its installation or boot, Sony's ROM does, if this partition is unformatted when the Sony ROM boots it'll format it. So there are two solutions.
1. After unlocking bootloader, boot Sony ROM once, then proceed with the CM11 instructions.
2. After unlocking bootloader and flashing CM11 kernel (boot.img), do a /data and /data/media format, then proceed with the CM11 instructions.

[Q] Recovery bootloop

Hey guys, so I just flashed MIUI V5 from this week and it worked like a charm, but then I tried updating to the .17 update that came out today, and it seemd to flash perfectly, but then my device rebooted and now it is stuck in a recovery bootloop, always boots to recovery, tried changing recoveries, wiping cache, data and dalvik and nothing so far.
I may be able to fix by just flashing a KDZ, but then ill loose all my data, do you guy know of any other solutions :/? Thanks
Info:
Model- E977

Same thing happened to me, i think kdz is the only way out. I didn't get to see the files and changes on 4.8.17 zip i thought it was unsigned and may had some other problems.

That is only recovery.img file. It isn't recovery partition. But I wander what it did with recovery.img. Maybe that is the reason why you got recovery boot loop.

Yup, Kdz was the only solution for me, spent the day learning how to use ADB to pull out all my files, I think i recovered the most important stuff, and picked up a little bit of adb knowledge so all good, never had a good experience with MIUI Ota`s tho, only manual flashing from now on

Alright, first, do you know what ADB is? If not watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXX-YdhRU0
The command to pull stuff from the phone is: adb pull "Directory you want to pull"
For example: adb pull /sdcard/
That should pull out everything in the internal storage to the adb folder.
It is mostly about logic, so after a few times of screwing up your phone and a few hours playing with commands and such you'll get used to it.
Today we got v 8.21. I wonder if the error still exist I'm about to update now, will report soon.
Edit: still recovery boot loop. Don't even try to update. Or you'll end up kdz the whole thing.
Edit: Anyone knows how to report to developer of the rom?

thanks for reply, i have twrp 3.2.1 but no system so i cant verify if my latest is 20s and if boatloader is locked...? you think maybe the boatloaderr its relocked after i flash the EUI 21s stock zip ? .. now i m trying to restore from an twro recovery make from another person..
Lex727 bootloader unlock
1.download bootloader unlock zip.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/nvsw2fhnt1e2q7d/x727-5.8.019s_bootloader-unlock.zip
Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer*(I am not helping you here, it you're lucky, maybe your friends will help)Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device*(again, I'm not helping with that)Make sure adb can see your device when you run "adb devices"Run "adb reboot bootloader"Run "fastboot devices" to make sure you see your deviceRun "fastboot oem unlock-go" to unlock your device temporarilyRun "fastboot oem device-info" to verify unlock statusRun "fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img"*(or whatever the twrp image filename is on your computer)to boot up to TWRP
If this fails you need to flash bootloader.
Fastboot flash emmc_appsboot.mbn.
I person personally did this command and drag and drop file minimal adb program work perfect.
If you need this program here it is.

If you need stock OS, you have to install stock recovery;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-simple-to-return-to-stock-x720-t3618658
If you need custom ROM, you have to flash correct recovery (3.2 is good for Oreo, earlier for Nougat). In twrp you should to transfer correct file, or try to adb push commands (googling for it).

Try format data in twrp maybe if u haven't tried.and don't flash SuperSU until after u flash a rom like lineage or aicp etc.I would stay clear of flashing stock factory ROMs in twrp unless it has been modded to flash in twrp.
