...
Modifications to CF-Root (aside from the icons)
- Due to a lot of bickering and argueing, I'm simply no longer allowing this at all
- You can still kang a script or two left and right, I don't mind, as long as you are not basing an entire kernel on mine, or re-branding it, etc. Use common sense, you know exactly what I mean.
...
DjMaryuslive :
Do you have some kind of agreement with Chainfire that allows you to release this modification to CF-Root kernel?
Is the startup and shutdown sound enable?

This is not work of Chainfire,With all due respect for Chainfire work,but no one can force me ask his opinion to bring a new version that he still does not work or works in progress.
READ FIRST POST
How wrong you are. You can't release kernels based on CF-Root without my permission on XDA. Furthermore, it isn't just based on my work, it is in fact the exact same file as posted in my own thread.
So, not only is this a straight repost of my own work without permission; that this it is a newer version and bugfixed is a straight-up lie.
I have no idea what the agenda is here, but there will be repercussions to this.

I guess the TS didn't notice that the "CF" in CF-Root stands for Chainfire.. wow
LMFAO... Obvious kang is obvious. You, OP, are a bullshitter... And bull**** is not tolerated on XDA.

Nice try... Refer to rule 12 please
GUIDES, TUTORIALS, ETC.Some Guides will be added here.
Guide for different ROM's with no root/TWRP inbuilt , and if You flashed the ROM but forgot to flash gapps/root.
This step is on PC.. Download this boot_carbon_3-11-14.img. This is required as the Kernel(boot.img) from some Lollipop ROM's don't have inbuilt recovery.
Download the the root binaries from here.
Gapps can be found here.
On PC, Extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip of the version You are using.
Copy the SuperSU.zip, and gapps.zip, if You want to flash gapps, to Your phone.
On PC, copy the downloaded boot_carbon_3-11-14.img and boot.img (from ROM.zip) to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
Open command prompt on the same path as above.
Switch off Your phone. Then connect the cable to PC but not to phone. Press volume up button on Your phone and while pressing it, connect the cable to phone. Blue LED will lit up. If there is no blue LED, do this step again.
Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot_carbon_3-11-14.img to the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_carbon_3-11-14.img
The boot_carbon_3-11-14.img is used to just get the TWRP to the phone to flash the root and/or gapps. Keep the CMD open and the phone connected to PC.
Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery by pressing volume up button when the LED turn blue. Since we flashed the boot_carbon_3-11-14.img, it will boot into recovery.
Then flash the SuperSU.zip and gapps.zip .
Now, while keeping phone connected to PC, select Reboot to bootloader from TWRP menu.
When blue LED is lit on the phone, on command prompt on PC runthis commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
This is done so as to restore the kernel of the ROM and so that You can boot into the ROM.
Now You have successfully rooted and flashed gapps.
To get TWRP, a guide is mentioned below.
Flashing a TWRP
Unlocked bootloader and root is must.
An android app is needed to perform the procedure. You can find the app here.
Install it on the phone.
Also, here is the page of the twrp.
What You need to do is, download the twrp from here.
Rename it to fotakernel.img and copy it to Your internal storage.
Then run the following commands on the terminal emulator app:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
TWRP installed!
Flash KitKat/Lollipop ROM's for Xperia S with explaination.
Guide to Installing lolipop rom from stock or 4.xx and Updating rom from 5.xxx to 5.xxx next version, new beta etc
[TUTORIAL] Increase data partition -- Needed for Lollipop ROM's, as they have ART which requires bigger data partition.
This needs to be done if You are using Lollipop ROM's. The data partition eventually runs out of storage after You install 15 or so apps (gapps included) and update them.
[TUTORIAL] Migrate filesystem to F2FS -- To increase the read write speed, in short to make Your phone go speedy!
This can be done to change the file system of partitions(system, data, cache, internal storage). This helps to increase the speed of operations on mobile.
[Tutorial] Backup You TA Partition To Keep Your DRM Keys before unlocking bootloader -- Should be done before You unlock the bootloader for first time.
The above procedure is done to retain DRM keys. DRM keys are used for the Bravia Engine and Sound Enhancements by Sony.The DRM keys are unique to each device, hence You cannot restore other's DRM keys to Your device. If this is done, then the phone gets bricked. Also, these needs to be backed up before You unlock the bootloader for first time. If it is unlocked before taking backup, then they are lost.
[Tutorial] Xperia S/P/U/Sola Bootloader Unlocking & Relocking -- Needed to flash Kitkat/Lollipop ROM's. (Casically any above JB 4.1, the final official firmware version.)
This needs to be done as the Kitkat/Lollipop ROM's requires a different kernel which is build for them and they are different than the one's used in stock firmware's, and kernels can be flashed only if Your bootloader is unlocked.
Guide for recovering phone if You have locked bootloader, and have formated the system but forgot to copy ROM first.
Download the flashtool from here.
Download the FTF file from here.
here.
Now install flashtool.
I'm assuming You have Windows 7 and have installed Flashtool to C drive. If You have Windows 8/8.1, go here.
Go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and run the "Flashtool-drivers.exe" file. Then Select the first two , Fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers and all the drivers with Xperia S or Xperia SL written in them.
Copy the downloaded FTF file to the "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" folder. This is recommended as Flashtool will recognise it automatically, or else You can select it later too.
Now open flashtool. FlashTool.exe if You have 32 bit OS or FlashTool64.exe if You have 64 bit OS.
Select the Lighting Symbol button, the one with "Flash Device" name.
Select Flashmode and press Ok.
Now if You had copied the FTF file in step 5, it will show it in the list. if not, then select the 3 dots button and select the folder where You have downloaded the FTF.
Then select the FTF from the list. You can de select the DATA under Wipe if You want to keep Your apps and it's data. If You select it to wipe, then it will wipe all Your apps and data like app data, messages, calendars entries, Call records, notes etc, but it will not delete Your Music, photos, video i.e. the stuff in internal memory.
Then press flash. It will ask You to connect Your phone in flashmode. Now disconnect cable from phone and PC and switch off Your phone. Connect the cable to PC. While holding down the volume down button on the phone, connect the cable to phone.
If You have installed the drivers succesfully earlier, then Your phone will get detected and the process will start on the flashtool.
After sometime, the device will be flashed with stock firmware! Then dissconnect the phone and power it up.
If You get error like "Error while flashing loader.sin", then don't worry. Keeping the phone connected, start the flashing process again. Don't disconnect the phone at all.

I've updated the list to show whether they're locked bootloader or not
Very useful thread, thanks
Very Usefull Post !
Just one addition: MIUI is compatible with Locked Bootloader, just needs edition/replace on updater-script file.
I'm currently using it and updating every week.

Yes, that is all you need to do, I've updated to version 20.10.26 a few seconds ago.
For someone who is affraid to edit the file, I attach it on this post.
The process goes like this:
1. Unpack Rom zip file to a directorie on Desktop, lets call it MIUI
You should now have 2 or 3 directories inside MIUI folder, but allways META-INF and System folder (some roms also have Data folder)
2. Unpack my updater-script_for Locked BL.zip file and put updater-script inside
META-INF\com\google\android\
(replace updater-script inside that folder)
3. Go back to MIUI folder, select the 2 or 3 folders (META-INF, Sytem and Data folder)
Click right button and Send it do Compressed Folder, give what name you want.
4. Send it do phone storage, go into CWM and process as any other Custom Rom flashing.
PS: This procedure does not make any rom compatible with locked bootloaders, so allways check in respective posts about this possibilitie.
XCream, DualCore and MIUI are compatible with this, confirmed by me. If a rom file is referred for locked and unlocked BL, then you don't need to make this process.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
@KidCarter93: i´m using the XTXperience Rom on my Xperia with locked Bootloader. So it`s compatible with it...
does anyone know, if the AOSP-JB-Roms are compatible with locked Bootloaders?
especially this ones: CyanogenMod 10; ParanoidAndroid 2.5.2
Read first posts on threads for that roms.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I have read it, but tor example the xtxperience Rom works on both,... So i asked if someone with locked bootloader had tested it...
Gesendet von meinem LT26i mit Tapatalk 2
No, they require custom kernel, which can only be flashed with unlocked boot loader.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
guys, I have just created a topic in Q&A to choose which Rom to install in locked bootloader
I´m looking for a good one, but dont know which is better. If you have tried them please give me a hand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980782
You should add locked bootloader recoveries.
Thanks for this post!! :good::good::good:
Very useful to everyone and to all the newbie like me
Just a noob question...
how will you know that you have successfully unlocked your bootloader???

Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Ace II x / GT-S7560M Unofficial FAQ!
-The Galaxy TREND GT-S7560 is also supported-
==>THIS IS AN OUTDATED PHONE AND THE LINKS/FILES BELOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE THERE ANYMORE<==
!!SEE POST #2 BELOW FOR LINKS
Frequently Asked Questions:
1- "Flash with CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP/CWM)" : If you still have the stock recovery, download and use Daver18qc's Root Kit Below to install a custom recovery from the CUSTOM RECOVERIES header in post #2.
2- "Flash with ODIN" : ODIN is inside Daver18qc's Root Kit *With Detailed Instructions* below.
3- "Push with ADB" : You need to download and install Android's Development Kit and then refer to the small tutorial below !
4- If you've got problems with ODIN or ADB, make sure that you have USB Debugging Enabled under Settings > Developer Options.
--Make sure you have only 1 device showing in ODIN (Only 1 little square filled at the top-left)
--Also make sure Kies.exe is not running on the computer!
5- There are custom ROMs, such as CyanogenMOD 10 and 11, OmniROM 4.4, and more. There is no Lollipop ROM just yet, though it is slowly being worked on. A lot of work is needed to update our device code for Lollipop. You can find links to different custom ROMs for our device in post #2.
6- There is NO free method to UNLOCK SIM yet.
7- If you want to flash any deodexed rom with a custom recovery, you must first flash the complete corresponding ROM from SamMobile. That means deodexed Guatemala need to be flashed over Guatemala, not over Panama or Canada. Same goes for deodexed Australia.
8- If you get a Yellow warning triangle on boot after flashing something, use TriangleAway to remove it and reset the flash counter to 0. (On the page, use the provided TriangleAway apk file available for download at the bottom of the first post)
9- Flashing a ROM from Guatemala or Australia will not change your service provider, you will stay with Bell/Koodo/Rogers even if these companies don't exist in Guatemala.
10- Sometimes when flashing ROMS, your carrier will show as "Bell" even though you are on Virgin / Solo, this is normal as these are 2 sub-companies of Bell.
11- When you flash ANYTHING with a custom recovery, be sure to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache (advanced menu) before rebooting.
12- For ANY kind of flashing from a Windows computer, you will need the Samsung USB Drivers first and foremost, before doing anything else. If you're on Linux/Ubuntu, install Heimdall and search for tutorials for how to use it on XDA or Google.
13- If you have the Galaxy Trend GT-S7560 and CWM freezes while flashing a custom rom, then re-cook the rom inside the Kitchen with these tweaks:
Code:
For galaxy trend s7560
When building rom in kitchen, select Interactive Mode(1). after zipaling;
1. edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in working folder and change " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16"); " to " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "0", "/system"); "
2. extract cm11 for ace 2x and replace META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary from cm11 to your rom

-If your ROM is zipped, unzip it to a folder until you got a ".TAR.MD5" file
-Load up ODIN
-Shutdown your Phone
-Boot your Phone in Download Mode
-Plug in your USB cable, Odin should recognize the Phone and fill up a small square at the top left.
-Make sure only "F.Reset Time", "Auto Reboot" and "PDA" are check-marked in ODIN
-Load up your ".TAR.MD5" in the PDA section of ODIN
-Flash, wait for ODIN to tell you (Succeeded : 1, Failed : 0)
-Done.

3.Open cwm recovery and Wipe data/cache,and also wipe dalvik cache
4.Install CyanogenMod 11

------CUSTOM ROMS-------
Note: None of the custom ROMs are bug-free. Some of them are more stable and bug-free than others though. Some common bugs among all the ROMs are lack of full camera resolution (the rear camera only captures images at 3MP instead of the 5MP in Stock ROM) and lack of bluetooth (our chipset doesn't support the newer bluetooth method used in Android 4.2+).

If you install a stock ROM/firmware over a custom ROM and you get a bootloop, meaning you probably forgot to wipe data, and you're unable to boot to recovery, flash this package (by Codename13) with Odin to wipe your data partition, which should allow you to boot into the stock ROM.

[/B]-A vast range of frequencies to choose from, you can start with 1094mhz and if your phone is stable and doesn't reboot on it's own you can then go up a couple more until you get to a point where your phone won't boot, then you need to go back down in frequencies.
Most people seem to hit a wall around 1248mhz.
-To take full advantage of this Kernel, you should install No-Frills CPU Control

You can deodex and customize almost any ROM made for this phone using this version of the Kitchen.
You will need a computer running Linux, either on the hard drive or in a virtual machine inside Windows.
You will need extensive knowledge of the Linux commands as everything is inside a terminal (a kind of MS-DOS command prompt)
If you don't know what Linux is, don't bother, this is out of your reach and nobody will teach you here.
Learn it somewhere else and come back here when you know where you're going with this.
DOWNLOAD 0.223 KITCHEN
DOWNLOAD EDIFY_DEFS FILE
-(The EDIFY_DEFS file is necessary to make a working ROM, you will softbrick your phone if you don't put this file inside your edify-defs folder in the kitchen folder.)

looking with the code "S7560MUBAMG2" i found a version PBS, CPA and TCP (panama, panama and mexico), all three have the same build date and change list numbers (05.07.2013 and 1230914)...
im downloading PBS version, its a 532mb file, is that right?... no wonder the device sucks that much... that image is bigger than the stock for my the TF300t... this **** is bloated
is this the same image as guatemala?
Can't seem to find the PGU anywhere... all links are to hotfile (which seems dead) or broken
thanks anyway...
i wanted to test the slimbean rom but guess i'll have to wait a while then...

You did it, since flashing with CWM puts the SUPERUSER program inside the phone. So if you have that, then you have indeed flashed with CWM, because it is the only way to flash the root package!
The instructions in the root kit apply to any other update/package that you want to flash with CWM.

@mertonv:
Use Australia MH3 instead. SAMMOBILE got their hosting server shut down so the links for stock firmware are invalid, but they are supposed to get fixed soon, i hope.
EDIT: The Australia Stock ROM link works at the moment, maybe you didn't LOG IN / REGISTER on SAMMOBILE before trying to download and that's why you don't see anything, but at this time, it works !
Bluetooth and Camera still broken/buggy?

Service
Since flashing CM 10.2, I haven't been able to get service and if somehow I manage I only get it temporarily. Can someone explain as to why?

It's been tested and it's safe, aside from the extremely slim risk of bricking your device while using Triangle Away (but I've never heard of anybody doing this). Chainfire hosts a free version here on XDA, although being free, it doesn't include every feature. But it works well enough.

If you are indeed using an Ace 2, we can't help you. This thread is one of the few for the Galacy Ace II X, a completely different device, other than similiar sounding names.
Speaking of BLN, I remember having recently seen an app that mimicks it very well. I'll message you if I remember what it was called.
For the BA2X 2.0, I'm working on implementing BLN in the kernel along with some other things. Our devices don't have the same kernel, but I could possibly create a universal BLN diff for others. I'm trying to diff a BLN module source for the Galaxy R and Captivate, so hopefully I can get it working.

You're using an Ace 2 GT-I8160? This thread is for Galaxy Ace II X GT-S7560M. The two devices are completely different. The only reason that us Ace II X users use the Ace 2 forums is because the names are somewhat similiar. However, don't let that similiarity ruse you.

Hello Everyone!!
So here is a new ROM I compiled yesterday, it does have a lot of features and it is called SONIC OPEN KANG PROJECT
I didn't open a new thread for it because I'm not gonna be updating it unless many users encourage me to do so...
Anyway I thought I should share it with you guys, for who ever wanna test it
Here is this ROM's features:
http://sonic-developers.com/?page_id=160
Also here is a quick review for the ROM:
And for more info visit their website:
http://sonic-developers.com
Download Link:
I've started uploading my files to androidfilehost.com , hoping you like it more than Dev-host
SOKP-MS-04-KK444-KTU84Q-20140726-amami.zip
Here are my screenhots as well:
Hello Guys,
Since our lovely Z1C is relatively new, it doesn't have many CM based ROMs, so I thought why not porting some
from the closest phone to ours (which is obviously Xperia Z1).
So I'll be presenting five ports for five ROMs as mentioned in the title, but I'm gonna start with a simple guide for how to port the ROM yourselves
All you have to do to port a CM11 based ROM from Z1 is:
Download the Z1 ROM and extract it wherever you want
Open META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with any text editor and remove first five lines (assert)
Download This for old builds, and This for new builds, then unzip it
Copy and replace "boot.img" from the previous zip to your Z1 ROM
Copy and replace "modules" folder to system\lib\modules in your Z1 ROM
Open system/build.prop with any text editor and change this value:
Code:
# Graphics
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
to become:
Code:
# Graphics
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
that is it, although there are optional things you may do before compressing the ported ROM:
In system/build.prop search for honami and replace them with amami
And then search for C6903 and replace them with D5503
Also you may wonna add "Compact" here:
ro.product.model=Xperia Z1 Compact
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You may also open META-INF\com\android\metadata and do the same replaces
Resign the ROM.zip after compressing it
Important Notes:
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
You must be running KK ROM before flashing these ROMs down below
This method won't work on Slimkat, although you can grab it from Here
All bugs in these ROMs are related to the original ROM not issues caused by posting
Fell free to report any bugs you face though, and I'll enlist them in known issues
PacMan ROM and MoKee ROM are officially supported, so there is no need to port them
Instructions for all ROMs down below:
Copy the zip to your device
Reboot into recovery
Backup of your system (optional)
Do a factory reset and format [/system]
Flash the Zip

I wonder if you would do Slimrom also, it is a mainstream ROM with many innovations that other ROMs have copied.

Yeah it's been a week, so here are the Updates of this week:
Updated Carbon ROM to build 4 (2014-04-09)
Updated MoKee ROM to build 2014-04-04 (its kernel was updated to FXP314)
Added XenonHD ROM latest release build 5 [2014-04-02] (download link in second post)
it is very customizable (can't describe it enough)
you can check more info about it in its main thread
about the kernel update, it seems like FXP team have messed up thier kernel a little
so when I tried it on Carbon and XenonHD I got some sort of bootloop,
but it worked fine on MoKee, so MoKee is the only ROM that has FXP314 kernel,
I don't recommended anyone to use it for porting so I didn't upload it

Actually the problem is not much with the latest kernel, but rather with the ROMs:
Recently there was a huge changeset merged in CM tree, among other things it took in kernel a lot of CAF code\blobs from 4.4 Sony sources, and Xperia CM ROM was rebased on this CAF kernel.
It means, that the ROMs based on CM must be rebuild using latest sources, otherwise they'll have a bootloop with the new CAF kernel =)

unfortunately yes, if you want to flash a custom kernel, you have to have an unlocked bootloader (and that is required to flash custom ROM)
Greetings guys!
This is another firmware for Xperia Z1 (C6903), and so far is been released in just few countries. I make it pre rooted as by my side once you have a pre rooted firmware you can be able to manage and delete apps what you don`t need to free space in your mobile.
P.S. So far i see same threads but for Z1 Compact and Z Ultra. (if mods believe is not good this thread to exist i don`t mind if it will be deleted)
What do you need:
- Flashable zip
- Mobile phone Xperia Z1 (C6903) - with CWM/TWRP to can flash the zip
- USB Cable (make sure your battery is over 75%)
- Attention and patience
The procedure to flash the zip is the same like in other threads (copy the zip to your external SD Card and from there reboot your phone to CWM/TWRP and select - install zip)
The content of zip is
- firmware C6903_14.5.A.0.238_Greece-Cosmote.ftf (i found with XperiFirm on thread wrote by @IaguCool so of course credits go to him)
- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 credits go to @Chainfire
- Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable credits to @[NUT]
I used PRF Creator to make this zip flashable, credits go to @zxz0O0
The steps i follow to reach a Lollipop 5.0.2 Pre Rooted firmware i found them here http://techbeasts.com/2015/04/14/root-xperia-z1-c6902c6903-14-5-a-0-242-5-0-2-lollipop-with-dual-recovery/
If you have done before flash with dual recovery you may skip the last link, but if it is your first time when you try to do this i highly recommend you to read before each thread including the one on last link.

I'm using .270 now. Should I install this(14.5.A.0.283 ) first before I install 14.6.A.0.368 ?

No need, you could flash right away 368, just make sure you backup your actual ROM and update your dualrecovery
