As requested by some I have deodexed the Chinese 2.2 Froyo ROM from Here
It is the full package for now based on the exact ROM, but I will be putting out another two later one with most Chinese stuff removed and another with a fair bit of the blur social stuff removed.
Flash the package by Clockworkmod recovery in the usual way, over the 2.2 ROM. If you have removed apps they will come back, so you will have to remove them again.
Credits go to:
H5u for posting the original stock 2.2 ROM in the above thread.
Sorensiim for the hosting!
Download Here
Enjoy
NB:
If you get an issue with the camera flash after installing 2.2 chinese ROM with it flashing once and then stopping working/being ot of sync, I don't think its related to the deodexed files, however I fixed it by wiping data for camera 2.21 in Titanium Backup
Thank you!
This is exactly, what I've been waiting for.
Could someone please explain what this Deodexed Framework is and what it does or what it's for?
Thanks

.odex files are present in the system by default and accompany most apps (generally apk+odex). The process of deodexing (afaik) removes these files.
As far as purpose goes, Odex system: generally faster, more stable, Deodexed system: easier to mod (bootscreens, lockscreens, themes, etc)
if you're new to the scene that's basically the nutshell version of what you need to know.
Does this still contain Chinese？ We really need it.

what are you running now to get so high!!?
To use this you change the name to update.zip and install in recovery. Is that right?

I close all apps with Advanced Task Killer (not quadrant some other apps in my ignore list), SETCUP set to performance, using zeam as laucher, and running 1250Mhz with 72vsel with new milestone overclock beta.

I don't know if it's signed version, but use "update from zip" in the recovery mode, i've used like this.
Also you can delete some unneeded apk before updating by open zip with winrar (or other) and delete it directly, because older deleted apk will be installed again...

update zips don't need to be signed for clockworkmod, if you remove apk's from the package and flash, make sure they weren't there before or they'll still be in system minus the odex files.
Oh, clockwork mod. I don't have that. Where to get please.
To be more specific I go into recovery and all I see is
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
that's it.
Is clockwork mod suppose to replace this?

Thanks for the link. I installed this. Followed these steps:
1. install tenfar's recovery apk
2. run the system recovery
3. select "Install Recovery System"
4. select "Recovery Boot"
The device reboots and then goes to a blank screen. I let it sit there for a few minutes but get nothing. Any ideas?

Hi. I'm sort of still a newb to android stuff. This tablet is my 2nd android and I managed to get CM9 on here, after installing some weird recovery through goo manager (other methods of getting Clockwork weren't working for me) I liked the stock from a lot better however, and I would like to switch back. Unfortunately I don't have a backup. I've done a search and haven't found anything. Could someone help me out with this seemingly easy problem?

just dl the stock you need.

extract the zip one time. You have another zip than. Place it on your internal sd.
Go to recovery (must be CWM) and flash the zip:
install zip than choose zip, than find the zip on your sd. than scroll down the no´s till you see a yes and choose this option.
If you dont have CWM recovery installed, take a look here and follow the video guide for fastboot to install CWM again.

So I need cwm? I can't use the recovery that I got from goo manager?

You should go to asus webpage and download the latest firmware that is for your model. Go to settings on your device and at the latest tab see what version of firmware you have. You are looking for US or WW or another. Then go to asus site at download section and download the correct update that suits u. Unzip it once at the main catalog of the tf300 storage and reboot your machine to recovery (turn off and then turn on by pushing volume down and power until u see some message at the top of the screen. Then release the 2 buttons and push volume down and you will be at recovery menu. There choose wipe data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and choose install zip, choose the zip that u previously unzip to your device and confirm to install it. When it is done after about 3 minutes reboot and u are at the latest stock firmware.

Yes you need cwm. For some reason team win recovery won't flash the stock firmware. It's nice and continues to get updates but they don't have our device. It will eventually get ironed out but for now cwm is needed to return to stock. At least that's how it is on my device and some others here on xda.

No worries dude! I was pretty paniced when I was doing it, I have a more detailed tutorial here with links to rooting it on stock Link
So most of you must have used the PACman ROM at some point of time.Right???
Love it?But wish that the UI Tearing goes away...
Well your wish has come true...
HALO IS HERE!!!
JBX KERNEL IS HERE!!!!
SAY GOODBYE TO UI-TEARING AND ENJOY THE PACman AS IT SHOULD BE...
Well you're all well aware of the features,have seen the screenies(hell even used it) so I won't waste your and my time rattling about that.
Let's go then:
Links:
PAC
GAPPS Collection
Installation Instructions:
Note:This ROM uses JBX kernel(0.6).Those of you who were getting the black screen problem with kexec kernel will get the same bug here.
Note:Please backup your CID just to be safe.You may not have this error ever but it's always safe to have a backup of the CID.So that if you get a message invalid CID or soemthing just restore it and you'll be good to go.
To backup CID:
Reboot into Recovery
Tap on firmware flashing
Tap on backup CID.
Note:To be flashed via BMM only
BMM instructions:
See here if this is your first time multibooting with BMM.
Download and install BMM from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...otmenu.manager
Our phone does not have a partition for internal storage.. so we use the data partition for it.. To do so, just open a root browser like root explorer and navigate to /etc/bmm/conf
Open "recovery.fstab" with a text editor
The last line will be something like this
/int vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p25
Just change 'vfat' to 'auto' and 'mmcblk1p25' to 'userdata' (its the same though..)
So that it looks like this
/int auto /dev/block/userdata
and of course save it and close it..
Done.. you are good to go.. Happy Multi Booting..
Just some tips
On your first reboot, tap the android, go to settings-->System_2-->Partition setup and tap on ACTIVATE. This formats cdrom partition to ext2.
Now go back 2 two steps, and select any other system(3-6). choose Partition setup, tap on system.img, tap on Create, select the size, create it. go back and do the same with data.img and cache.img.
Once thats done, go back and select recovery, select switch system. choose your system that you created the images for, the colour will change, install any custom rom.. Enjoy!!
NOTE: BMM stores the images in internal memory(/int/clockworkmod/virtual/system_(num)). Since we dont have emmc partition and are using the data partition for /int, doing a factory reset will wipe it out and you will lose all your other roms.. So be carefull..
NOTE 2: USE ONLY SYSTEMS 3 TO 6 FOR CUSTOM ROMS.. SUSTEM 2 IS CDROM PARTITION.. YOU ACTIVATE IT ONCE AND DONE.. DONT TOUCH IT AGAIN.. ITS ONLY 12MB..
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL BMM IF YOU USED A2 BOOTSTRAPPER BEFORE. THAT WILL MESS THINGS UP WITH YOUR LOGWRAPPER.BIN. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL BOOT LOOP AFTER REBOOT. NOW IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DID NOT READ THIS, AND GET A MESSAGE ABOUT BMM ASKING YOU TO GET HELP, BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS RECHARGE YOUR BATTERY FULLY AND FXZ BACK. OR THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE TO USE MCGRUVYER METHOD OR ANOTHER A2 BATTERY. USER RAD7 RECENTLY HAD QUITE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH HIS BATTERY DYING AFTER BMM MESSED WITH LOGWRAPPER. YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED.
Make sure you have BMM recovery.
Reboot and hit the droid at the BMM splash screen
Optional:
Tap on Settings
Create a new System by creating system,data and cache partitons.Delete the previous partitions if you have to(NOTE: You can skip this but it's better to do it this way)

Ok I've made a small Fix Audio.zip it should enhance audio significantly and also fix the broken sound recorder(I bet no one new that it was broken)
Anyways flash in recovery.No wipes needed.
Also if you don't like the new audio you can revert back to your old settings and broken voice recorder by flashing the Fix Audio Revert.zip

Well the multi booting process is significantly different in the 0.2.7 and 0.3.4 better just upgrade the BMM and then flash it.
But the process would be the same.

Yeah. Go on and flash . Its kexec. Doesn't matter which kernel it is.
In the first post it says that I shouldn't install BMM if I have A2 Bootstrapper. Should I remove it first?

Use the Jan 16 version. As with any playing around, do a backup before flashing cm-11. If you need to do any sdcard partitioning, do it on the old version as these functions are not in this new version.

Yes, you flash the new recovery with the old recovery first. Reboot to new recovery. Remember to wipe user data/factory reset along with wiping Dalvik cache and formatting system from the mounts and storage item. Then install your CM11 ROM.

I would hope that the update.zip you are referring to is a flashable recovery. From the link posted it is. It's the newest recovery with support for KitKat ROMs. Flash this like you would flash anything else. IE; Install zip from sdcard. Then go to 'Advanced' and choose reboot recovery. This will reboot you in to the new recovery you just flashed.
From there do "Wipe data/factory reset" and then go to "Advanced" again and select "Wipe Dalvik cache". Go back to CWM main menu and then select "Mounts and storage". From there only select "Format /system". Back to CWM main menu. Select 'Install zip from sdcard'. If the ROM is on your external SD, which it should be, then choose "install from external sd". Confirm the installation and wait for it to install. Back to CWM main menu and choose reboot system. Voila!
Now I don't wanna seem harsh, but there are countless threads that explain how to flash a ROM/zip. XDA enforces using their search function to help prevent multiple threads of roughly the same content from being created. So in the future, please use the Search function before creating a new thread.

But after that I'll update I can install the cm7 if I wanted?
Clockwork 6.0 only flash cm10~cm11. If you like to install anothrer version, like cm9 or cm7 you have to flash first rhe clockwork 5.0. And then rwboot recovery and then flash zip. So, once you have downloaded the flashable zip for clock 5.0 and the wanted rom you have to do
1- Copy clock 5 and rom to sd card.
2- Reboot recovery
3- Flash clock 5
4- Reboot recovery
5- flash wanted rom under the rom instructions.

I cannot say if CM11 supports Hebrew or not, sorry. However, in order to install CM11 you need the newest recovery 6.0.4.6 as you've already figured out. That recovery, 6.0.4.6, will allow you to swap between CM10.2 and CM11 with no issues. To go back to older Android versions you will need to revert back to your older CWM first.
Clock 5.0 is capable of flash:
-CM7
-CM9
-CM10
-CM10.1
-CM10.2
Clock 6.0 is capable of flashing:
-CM10
-CM10.1
-CM10.2
-CM11
Hope it helps you.

CWM 5.0.2.0 can NOT flash CM11. You will get Status 7 error. You must upgrade recoveries to install CM11.
If you don't plan on having a GMail account attached to the device, have no need for the Play Store and some others, then no, don't flash GAPPs. Though I suspect you'll find that you will want/need to.
There is no safe way to increase the internal memory, as in change partition sizes, of these devices.

The backup statement I made was just a precaution. It's better to be safe than sorry.
I don't understand why you want to install CM11 and then downgrade your recovery. That makes no sense to me. Any flashable zips that need installed will also need the same recovery. CM11 added some new and reworked commands to the scripting language used to install flashable zips thru recovery. That's why you need to upgrade recoveries.

You've stumbled across here because you're either a noob, or a very confused person, or ran across some errors that made you choose another ROM. (Or some random lurker) I've created this thread to make it as detailed and user friendly as possible. Anyways without further ado:
I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your device. Follow my instructions carefully, and everything should work fine. This thread is here inorder to prevent the constant reporting of misleading bugs due to a dirty or unorganized way of flashing roms.

Instructions for installing Lollipop:
Requirements:
- Bootloader unlocked Xperia L
- USB cable for the phone
- A computer with flashtool installed along with the necessary drivers.
1. Download the latest version of CM12 or any other lollipop rom along with the Gapps package. I recommend that you use this (use 5.0x for CM12). Download Thunderzap 4.1 as well. (Don't ask why, but make sure you have this in your computer.) Place the ROM and gapps zip files in your SD card or internal storage.
2. The best way to install any custom ROM is to flash them coming from a stock rom. (Skip this step if you're already on stock 1.17) So if you're not on stock, go ahead and grab an FTF from my thread. (Latest version 1.17 - recommended) Flash the stock rom. If you don't know how to do that use this guide as a reference. Do NOT exclude anything.
3. Now you need to flash a custom kernel. To do this, locate and extract the thunderzap 4.1.zip you downloaded earlier on your computer. Then pull out (or copy it somewhere else) the bootjbcwm.img file. You'll need to flash this file via fastboot. If you know how to do that, skip the next step and proceed to step 5.
4. Power off your phone. Open flashtool and select the flash icon. Now hold the volume up button and plug in your Xperia L to your computer via USB. Select fastboot mode. Under "By DoomLoRD", select the option, "select kernel to flash". Now right above the open button you should see an arrow where it says *.sin. Select that and choose *.img. Locate the bootjbcwm.img file and select it. In a matter of seconds the kernel should be successfully flashed. Now turn on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up. You have now entered CWM recovery.
5. Enter CWM recovery if you haven't. (when turning on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up.) Once you're here select factory reset and select yes. Then select wipe cache, and under advanced select wipe dalvik cache. Once you've done all of this go back, and select 'mounts and storage' and select wipe system. Now go back and select Install zip, and locate the CM12 (or any other lollipop ROM) zip file. Flash the CM12 zip file and allow it to be completed. Once completed flash the gapps zip file.
6. Now go back and select reboot system. If it asks you to root select no. And there ya go! this is all that you need to do for a clean installation. This method allows to reduce the existence of bugs encountered due to dirty or a disorganized way of flashing roms. Sit back and relax and allow your phone to boot.
Instructions for installing root: (CM12)
Instructions for enabling root on Lollipop:
1. Go to settings. Scroll down and select(tap) build number, 7 times to enable developer options.
2. Return to settings and select developer options. Scroll down and select Root access. From here you can select either Apps only or Apps and ADB to allow root access. For starters you can select apps, and for those who are well aware of what ADB means you can select Apps and ADB. I won't be telling you what ADB means, you can Google this yourself.
3. Exit settings and open up playstore. Search SuperSu and download it. Once it has been downloaded and installed, open it. It will display a message saying, "SuperSU binary needs to be updated." Select continue, and then it'll display a message with the options, "Normal" and "TWRP/CWM". Select Normal, and any moment a message from privacy guard should appear. Make sure you check the "remember my choice" button and select grant.
4. Once granted permission from privacy gaurd, it will ask you to reboot, so reboot your phone.
5. There you go, you got root access now quit buggin people will ya!

Yes I'm aware of that. I didn't say anything about thunderzap for Lollipop though haha. In the next guide (How to flash kernels) I will.

Is it necessary to flash ThunderZap after installing CM 12 on my XPeria L?

No, it isn't. Unless you want to over clock or use some of the features provided by thunderzap then yes, but for now wait till 4.14.

Thanks again for your great work

My tutorial on the first post is about installing CyanogenMod nightlies for the first time. It's always best to go from stock. I know he's fixed TWRP but still, when its your first time, that's the best way to go. However after you've flashed CM12, you can either use his recovery for dirty flashing and clean flashing (Wipe data, system and cache).
I'm busy so I'll get back to this later.
Is there any known bug at all after fleshing the ROM?
And Please can you share the link for the cyanogen 12.
Thanks in advance.

You can use Bluetooth and copy data via USB. I don't know about USB charging, maybe someone else here can answer that.
About moving apps to SD card, you can move certain apps to your SD card, by navigating to settings>apps. This doesn't let you move all of them, only some. Using the gapps package provided in this this you shouldn't worry too much about space unless you're gonna be installing 4+ drawers of apps lol.
