When you say "which have both CWM & TWRP " I dont get the ides - WHen you flash only the kernel, how is CWM/TWRP showing up ? They are supposed to be residing in the Recovery partition, right ? We flash kernel into the System parition, isnt it ?
Suppose if "hotboot" the kernel without flashing it. Will I have access to CWM ?

It is possible dude (if you remember xparts) but cant find that for xperia l. Xparts shows device not supported. I wish nAl will work upon it because as by my knowledge, the first recovery for locked bootloader was put by him only

Yes. It's possible to load a recovery during boot. We just have to patch a script/binary which gets executed during boot. For example /system/bin/charger or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
But there are two problems with stock kernel :-
1. In 3.4 kernel for FWVGA devices, video driver (msm_fb.c), needs to be patched for fixing frame buffers. Otherwise graphics show up messed in recoveries.
2. There's also an issue of reserved fields which block cwm start-up. Though twrp boots fine but with graphic glitches due to 1.
So best I can do is to make twrp for locked BL. Though it'll be almost unusable due to graphic glitches.
I hope, you understand my problem here.

Cant you port from xperia z's recovery ?
I tried to install the twrp provided for Z on locked bootloader but not worked for our device. When I take a look on installation script, it pushes charger files to system/bin but our charger file is located on root folder. I dont have recovey so didn't tried to push Z's files on our device at correct location as i'm afraid of bootloop.
If porting of Z's recovery can't be done, please make twrp for our devices ignoring the graphic issues. atleast we will have the recovery.
and i would like to make you know if you don't that or device has CWM pre installed but with restrictions. so may be looking more into system files may make CWM possible
Thanks for taking me in consideration.
Best regards..

something is wrong

@hellspawn
Hi! You need to unlock your bootloader See it in the service menu, that it is allowed or not. If not, like me, you're not lucky -yet, if it says allowed, then there is a tutorial in the forum how to do this!

can somebody tell me where to download CWM recovery for Xperia l? I'm currently running 4.2.2 stock and want to install cm11.i tried with CWM version 6.0.3.x,it have graphics glitch in recovery mode.i still tired to flash rom but aborted with status 7 error.my phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.thanks

there does exist Cwm for locked bootloader and it works too. Not very good but enough to flash zips.

Hello,
Looks great! But what apps are pre-installed? Because I'm rooted, and I have deleted almost every system app, so yeah... Still good out there for the people who don't want/can root their phone. Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day

This firmware contains the all preinstalled apps which comes in the Original Stock JellyBean out of the box. And I have tweaked this firmware that way that Flashtool will probably not show any error while flashing. And the whole process will go smoothly. So basically this is the same firmware with the latest version. Cheers.

[Q] Can't use wifi, bluetooth and simcard on Xperia L

Appeared an update from sony for android 4.2.2, so I tried to update, but an error occurred. So I downloaded the .ftf and tried flashing through flashtools but another error occurred and the cell died. I changed the kernel, flashed the official rom via cwm, then returned the phone. However, it does not recognize the sim card, does not activate the wifi or bluetooth, and every time it is restarted, it seems that he restored himself, does not save the settings. I do not know what else to do, I've tried everything I've read many threads, I searched the forum and the web but could not find a solution. Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

What errors you get, phone is locked /unlocked, what firmware you try to flash with flashtool,what firmware you restore from cwm,what firmware you're use before that ,what kernel you use to flash, what is you phone (c2104/05)...?
Baseband from 4.1.2 not working with 4.2.2 firmware. This may be the problem with sim card.
All custom kernels with cwm needs to flash modules to get WiFi work, this may be the problem with the WiFi.
And for Bluetooth, it's maybe be from the bad flashes you've made.
P.s.- Are you sure that you got all needed drivers to flash with flashtool?

And it stops here, don't do anything... I tried to leave it working for an hour, and nothin different happens...
I tried to flash the following roms with the flashtool:
- iOS 7 Style ROM for XL 4.2.2
- OI Gaming OS v.1.8.305
- C2104_15.3.A.0.26_WORLD-A
And the following kernels:
- Kernel_Vengeance_TaoShan
- ThunderZap-3.1-Ultra
- Extended_Stock_Kernel_v5
- Phantom v4.5
Now, I'm with the C2104_15.3.A.0.26_WORLD-A, that I flashed through CWM, but without simcard, bluetooth, wifi and FM.
Before the update, it was with the rom named v3_C_n_T_JB_4.1.2_15.0.A.2.17, but I can't find it again to put on device (I have the zip file, but don't have the fix for wifi and simcard).
I have the drivers for flashmode and fastboot mode, but... how can I see if is it correct?
Thanks again!

I guess now you're using 4.2.2 fw..using custom kernel..try ......
enter cwm
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvikcache
in mount and storage
format/system
than turn off
make sure you have ftf file to flash after that..

How about you reinstall flashtool?
And if you haven't isntalled ADB drivers make sure you install them. (if you have then, reinstall them)
Then redownload another FTF.
Now try flashing it via flashtool, check here for the tutorial
Hope it works out mate.

so it seems you've got an error while updating?
By the way what type are you using like Xperia L C2014, or C2015? You may have installed the wrong ftf to create this problem, like flashing a C2015 ftf for C2104 :l

When installed emma try again with the 'unofficial' flashtool(the one that hangs), it could still be a driver problem and the emma installation will reïnstall the correct drivers. If it still hangs try to flash with the emma program, sony has a tutorial(on the page i just provided you). Good luck!

(for me) Flashtool is the best way to unlock/relock bootloader. its hassle free you dont need cmd promt.
heres the download link http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
if you still got bootloop, flash your device to to your stock FW/FTF
if you dont have your device back up
just search your stock FW in C2104 section here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
you should know your device model and build number..
NOTE: you need to root your device first in order to use Flashtool..
after flashing stock FTF reboot and wait.. it just takes time...
just hit thanks! hope it helps.. :good:

Flashing a stock ftf NEVER needs rooted device.
And you can still flash if it's in bootloop. Search in the general info thread and you'll find complete tutorials.
You can download your required stock ftf from here

Xperia XZ F8332 bricked after flashing of system.sin failed using flashtool

Hello, I just got my Xperia XZ F8332 CDA 1305-4972 R1D Singtel SG and I tried to flash a firmware from another region to get less bloatware and faster updates. I used flashtool and the process failed (flashing system.sin finished with errors) and the device was bricked after that. I used Xperia Companion's software repair tool and the device is working with its original firmware. I would like to know how to solve the system.sin flashing issue in order to install another firmware on my device. Thanks for your help.

I usually have this.
Make sure the firmware downloaded fully, and if it comes up just retry (Or different firmware)
Make sure you have all the drivers installed

I tried different firmwares and I'm still getting the same system.sin error. Drivers are correctly installed

What's the error anyway?

At the end of the flashing process it shows an error message processing of system.sin finished with errors and after that the device is bricked.

Seems like something wrong with Flashtool or the FTF. Are you using the latest version of the Flashtool? Make sure to run as administrator (just in case), also try with different FTF. It would be better for you to make your own FTF using the XperiFirm.

Thanks for the advice, I'm using the latest version of flashtool and I used XperiFirm tool inside Flashtool to get the FTF.

Yes, I selected all the wipe ticks for a clean install but I still get the same error. I even tried with another TFT and another computer but still no luck.

U are on locked or unlocked bootloader? If u are on unlocked try emma flash tool first, after that use andoxide flash tool, or relock bottloder first ,after that flash firmware you want. Good luck!

Dont wipe, try flash only sistem, if u get same error,try again and wipe all and exclude sistem.
Good luck!
