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
Not sure if this has been posted already but, this exact process for rooting works for almost ANY android device the program is very easy to use and I will do my best to try and explain how it works.
First, download this ROOTING TOOL
BLU Tank 4.5 Recovery Provided by lopestom: DOWNLOAD
SuperUser: DOWNLOAD
MobileUncle Tools: DOWNLOAD
Now that you have all of these files I will teach you step by step to achieve root + CWM.
ROOTING:
1. Extract the rooting tool to your computer the folder should be called "VROOT" now open the file Root.exe and this image will appear. (MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA USB WITH INSTALLED DRIVERS)
2. CLICK ROOT.
The program will install a chinese version of superuser which we will delete after CWM installation. (YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT, THIS IS NORMAL)
3. After reboot, you may now exit the program.
CWM:
1. Now that we are rooted, we can install CWM. While your phone is still plugged into your computer place the MobileUncleTools.apk into your phones storage.
2. Exract the recovery "BLU Tank 4.5.zip" to your computer and put the recovery image file into your phone.
3. Go to your phone and load the application "File Manager" and install the program MobileUncletools.apk that you just put on your phone.
4. Run the program Mobile Uncle Tools on your phone:
Next:
5. Once you Select the recovery.img your phone will prompt you to flash the recovery, click YES, it will then prompt you to reboot your phone into recovery then choose YES.
6. You should now be in CWM.
NOW TO REMOVE CHINESE SUPERUSER.
1. Choose to install a zip from SD CARD > Choose UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip > Install
2. CWM will remove chinese SU and you now have Chainfire SU.
Done.

I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?
Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.
Thanks!
I take no responsibility for any damge caused.
You will make customize this rom yourself by following these isntructions:
Step 1
Firstly Download the necessary files:
B132*= http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/
B510*= https://drive.google.com/?usp=chrome_app#folders/0ByjEFdm-4A3EQlZuejlla2xaUTQ
Stock Recovery*= http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973625
TWRP Recovery^= http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407572611
Adb Drivers*= http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
Pure Graphic HD Mod^= http://www.mediafire.com/download/zi7q6fk7cm9lclq/Pure_Graphic_HD_(Rendering+Version).zip
Pure Performances Stock^= http://www.mediafire.com/download/q0a4crr8aq4gm24/PurePerformances™X_Stock.1.4.zip
Pure Audio^= http://d-h.st/32h
Bravia Engine^= http://www.dropbox.com/s/l1m3q18g64yb0av/Sonyengines4.0+.zip
Minimal ADB and Fastboot ^= https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit
^ is optional and * is a must
Step 2 Method A
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

You can give it a try.
Finally have a rooted D5322 (T2 Ultra Dual).
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader.
Fastboot.
boot.img with custom recovery inside. I am using boot.img from CM11, extract it from here.
SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Here is the way:
1. Activate USB debugging.
2. Flash boot.img from the link above:
Code:
flashboot flash boot.img
3. Enter recovery mode, then install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip.
4. Flash Lollipop firmware (19.3.A.0.470) but choose kernel only to be flashed (screenshoot attached).
5. Done!
NOTE: Will be updated when I meet better internet connection. Thanks.
UPDATE (28.04.2015) : Somebody reported that /system couldn't be edited. Root explorer cant mount /system as RW.
...
Are you able to boot into recovery after flashing lollipop?

Thread updated, I got same problem.
If you want to edit contents of /system, install boot.img from cm-12-20150226, you still can boot to homescreen and getting full root access. But some drivers not work, so you cant change brightness, using camera, etc.
When u have finish, just flash stock kernel then every thing well work.
I'm downloading this 12 cm and I do hope it works, so do root to uninstall apps that do not use and other little things, Ro / rw is so precise WHAT ... thanks for as friend... ........ .Edit.......Then I flash this kernel, flash recovery and everything, I turn on the device, delete the apps I need to delete WHAT must install and reflash standard kernel ?? That's it?Then, after flash standard kernel I lose the option to change permissions or continue? Think back as it was right? thank you

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

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:

Im having problems flashing the kernel. I cant find my device in fastboot, and when I use flashtool to go ADB mode it says I dont have usb debugging on because I installed zip from recovery, the seagull file...

Ok let's start off zero
you installed the zip via the philz recovery and after you wanted to flash the kernel ?

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 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....
edit2: ok, It booted but I still want to know how to back to previous version...
