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???

PREAMBLE
This is SlimBean for locked bootloaders. Just to clarify, I'm not responsible for anything, neither for soft or hardbricked, nor for anything else.
Please, do not post feature requests or bug reports here, use DevDB instead, thanks.
As always, this ROM is not a ZIP-port, it has been compiled from source (see my sources).
WORKING/NOT WORKING
It probably has the same bugs as CM10 for LB.
FEATURES
This ROM is very lightweight (only 113 MB) and it also has very nice additions (see my screenshots).
Please visit the SlimROMs homepage for more information, the special "SlimGAPPs" and much more.
DOWNLOAD
You can get the latest build from here.

ROM Firmware Required: Root, CWM/TWRP

And here are 2 patches to address Android OS overdrive:
Framework patch:

WIFI-Audio patch:
http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/92695885/file.html
They will make sure your phone sleeps well once you press the power button...
Flash both in recovery: framework first, then clean dalvik cache and reboot. Next do the WIFI and reboot.
grrrr. got some build prop errors during install. with this one and the pac rom.... restoring from soft brick as we speak
Installed just fine for me... up and running with no problems so far. Thanks.
Gapps
For those interested in very light Gapps, I am using the attached Gapps... which i had previously downloaded from xda.
OP, @optimumpro, @MrGezz Is there a way that we can have a working FM radio app for CM as we're using stock kernel here?

You need to remove the first couple of lines from Meta-Inf/com/google/android/update-script where the software calls for LT28h. Because your phone is LT28i, flashing does not proceed...
Can somebody please list all Xperia Ion variants? I can then add them to the updater-script by default.
BTW, if somebody is interested... Here you can find some nice add-ons (untested).

They are LT28h, LT28i and LT28at. But I think it will be best just to remove the first lines and start with ui-print....
Is this themed at all? I somewhat prefer roms that are dark.

I think it is clearly Slimbean, the lightest, but gives you a lot of options including many tweak options (embedded in settings app) and dual pane. It also gives you the largest ram (I had 395 mb on start). All CM based roms sleep well if properly patched.

Original FM app gives error and force closes in CM10 rom by @MrGezz and other releases of djolivier doesn't come with FM app.
Only gap of giving up stock based rom (I'm Aoba black fan of u) is the fm radio unavailability and "call waiting of other party doesn't show when originating the call" issue of CM10. Hoping a good reply.
Build Prop issues on install attempt
Tried to follow @optimumpro method of deleting the buildprop but i realized that even after removing said lines, im not sure how to recompile.
So maybe @djolivier OP can fix the build prop lines in his next update.

Use 7zip to unzip, then noteplus to make changes and save. Then rezip using 7zip again. That's it.
I flashed rom sucesfully, runs smooth, awesome features but recent apps does not work. I try to open a recent app and phone gets frozen. Can it be fixed? I am loving this rom so far.
I have this bug on all of my AOSP(-derived) ROMs for LB... Haven't been able to fix it yet.
I have no such bug, but I removed a bunch of apps I don't use (anthal radios etc). Also, you should tinker with original settings and launcher settings.

to all the ops in the respective thread
1. Good job
2. Deserves to be sticky in general
3. Unlocked bootloader with 4.3 can be rooted (downgrading is pain in arse)
4. We know that 6502/3 stock/rom works on each other still it is not advisable to do
For example consider me (globaly recognized noob) flashed it wrongly i know its ally mistake but they will blame you cause you advised them
5. We have one thread like this so ask mods to merge that and this thread to avoid confusion
6. You missed all spark's AOSP kernel, 78kernel.
7. You missed hell lot of things
8. Nuts recovery is good one
9. The cwm you linked is for unlockedbootoader only
10. There are two cm from fxp and cm both have same source but different release pattern so provide link to threads
11. Add work in progress in title so you can sort everything out
No offense just helping you to sort things out if you need my help throw me a PM.
Add a faq section below my post or you can use my post so everything is in line.
You tried to do something helpful so kudos
Always there to help

Thanks Mohd for this rom. I tried it for a day and here is the initial feedback..
- Auto brightness option is missing. Is there option to add?
- GPS does not see satellites at all. Is the issue with me or common?
- Battery drains little more compared to other ROMs.
I tried cwm recovery on celkon a40 but I did not succeed. I lost my stock recovery also. Please post cwm recovery and stock rom for my celkon a40

you can Install any custom rom...even when your in ics you can install JB rom, vice versa providing with the appropriate kernel on the rom zip...
if you are in ICS and you have flash a rom.zip without kernel you will encounter bootloop sir...so when you flash a rom that is not the same with the version of your current rom you must install first the proper kernel...

Sorry everyone neither I'm working on this device nor on any other device.
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.
Disclaimer
- i am not responsible if you run into a bootloop or you damage your mobile. Do it if you know what you do, if not just give up!

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