I'm very new to Android (been using iPhone since its release) but i got a Sony Xperia E4g as a gift from my carrier and I would like to update it to Lollipop or root it and get something like MIUI on it. This that possible?
I would like to get rid of all the Xperia software and just get a clean Android install like Nexus phones have.

you can think of source code as a raw materiel of android kernel.
which you/someone has to compile to get a kernel which you can flash on your device.
and you can modify raw meterial to do anything you want to do with your kernel.
for example disabling system write protection (sony_ric) adding custom recovery(cwm) overclocking ,undervolting etc.
and if you get enough experience you can port lollypop or cynogenmod12 to your device.

I think mtk no longer sucks.
Mtk devices won't have source code cause most of companies that are using mtk are not releasing source code.
Like micromax never released sources.
i got an E4g it's really fast with good battery life,maybe the faster device in that price.
Soon costum roms will come out and prerooted stock firmware :fingers-crossed:
Did sony realeased source for e4g or only for e4?

Sony said they are releasing e4 with kitkat and they will be updating it to lollipop.
That all i know. Maby said for both e4 and e4g.
cwm, twrp
Hi all there!
Well I got me an e4g as well and I'd spend some time working on cm. Actually I've been looking on the partition table a bit to get cwm or twrp running as a first step but I got stuck there as I could not figure out where the recovery partition resides. Therefore I'd like to know if someone already started working on that and if someone has / or knows where to get a stock rom. And as a last question has someone tried the chinaphone / MTK backup from SpaceX with e4g?

Hello Everyone.
Good News for everyone. I have decided to maintain a help thread at Xperia L community in order to keep the threads for development/general section more clean and better organised. I have been noticing for a long time that whenever new users join, they still are not sure about the rules and thus mistakenly post in the wrong sections too often. If any senior member points it out to them, mostly it is either ignored or taken personally. Thus I have decided a combined help section would be very helpful to the community and the questions which are sometimes left unanswered and lost in question answer forums, that would not happen again for all of you.
I would be personally answering all your questions and shall refer you to someone in case I feel someone else would be able to answer the same question in a more detailed way. Other users can feel free to answer as well if you think you can tackle the situation well and make sure while answering any question, you provide enough information to the users as well. You can easily link the users to posts if you think a question has been already answered.
REASONS I AM MAKING THIS
Lots of repetitive questions.
Same things told again and again
Threads remain clean
A simple reference to every important thread that you should visit in case you have a problem
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Read the rules here XDA RULES BEFORE YOU POST
Idea of this thread is to help and to be helped. So ask any question you have in mind related to Xperia L, Android, or anything at all as long as it is related to Xperia L directly or indirectly.
Make sure you are precise with your information
Be Detailed
Do not repeat the same thing again and again
Use search button to find if your question has been asked before. Do not repeat your question if it is answered before.
WHAT INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE
1.Your bootloader status
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version
3. Kernel name
4. Any Mods you are using
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide
7. Root status
8. Your exact problem
9. Any method you tried that failed
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary
Make sure you provide as much details as possible. Things like my phone won't turn on please help would not be of any help to you or to the person answering. So please make sure you provide as much detail so we know exactly what is your problem and thus guide you in the right direction.
A sample would be something like this
Device: c2105
ROM name: CM 12 dated 10th May
ROM version and base: 3.99-RC2
Build number: CM_taoshan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G
kernel version and its settings: 3.4.0-thunderzap.kernel.plus [email protected] #193
Rooted
Sabertooth Mod
I can not use my WIFI. Although i tried flashing Wifi modules but it does not work.
I flashed CM over 1.5.2A.0.17 Stock
ETC

Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here! So anyone found doing that would be reported.
Another important thing is MAKE SURE YOU THANK THE PERSON who helps you. This is to show your appreciation to someone who personally took his time to answer your question. He had been nice enough to do it for FREE and nothing else. A simple thank you to his post will go a long way. The questions would be answered more and the one who is answering would be happy to answer more questions. So it is a gain gain situation for all of you. Read my signature because most people take help for granted here. So be kind to others and HIT THANKS BUTTON A LOT.

Hey, guys! Hope you're having a nice day! I'll cut to the chase now...
Now, I wanna downgrade my Xperia L from android version 4.2.2 to version 4.1.2. I know there already are quite a few threads on this topic but, I am completely new to all of this. I've tried following those and many other threads but have not been able to accomplish anything so far. Ha! I don't even what some of the terms mean.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Is there any Lollipop ROM which is (relatively) stable and bugfree? I have CM12.1 and am not really satisfied (after all it's only beta 2)

Although everyone likes to have their own customisation in a ROM and what features they are looking for, it is very hard to pin point which would suit you best. For now , the best thing you can do is test few roms like Resurrection Remix, PACMAN etc and see what suits you best.
As far as your stablility issues are concern, the BSOD is major problem in 12.1. I suggest you go back to CM12 nightlies from official website.

There is a similair thread at the Galaxy Tab 2 forum. It might be best to ask a mod to pin this.
And @Joel16, I still have the device in my possession. (It's eating dust in my drawer) I'll check here regularly to help users if needed.

2.
- S
i have no root on cm12

@SdtBarbarossa you could also add flashing supersu zip for #2. Your method is easier, of course, but personally i run to some issues with cm's default (ie titanium backup seems to prefer supersu). Not sure if it's just me though.

Now when I try to turn it on again, I see SONY and then XPERIA logo, and then Xperia colour animation on the screen. It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it .

After Xperia L
First of all thank you for this useful thread.
My question :
Why is Sony Xperia L lucky for custom ROMs, Kernels etc. I know that Soc (Snapdragon) has major requirement for this kinds of staff. However, I think, Xperia L has also something different and Which Sony Smart Phone are you suggest to buy after sony Xperia L supported like this?

Well I suppose sony isn't supporting this device.... In the latest news, sony has announced lollipop 5.1 for many devices including M2 by july.... But has not mentioned anything about E3, leaving it out of the picture totally....
Hi @ShanePunk123
About updates the issue Is not just for Xperia E3. Indeed, Xperia T3 and 2015 Xperias like E4 and E4g are not listed for upgrade at this date.
In real terms, Xperia E1 is the less updateable of the remaining 2014 Xperias due to low ram (just 512 Mb). But we dont know. Sony can drop it all 2014/2015 E series and just update T3, or update all the 2014 remainings and 2015 newcomings.
At this moment we can assure or have the good feeling (in terms of hardware) for get lollipop in Xperias E3, E4, E4g and T3 , because they have the required to run lollipop. May be they jump to 5.1 directly overriding or avoiding 5.0.2. Idk that
Currently is an active AOSP 5.1 developer program for the Xperias E3 and T3, so, this is a tiny bit of light in our dark. For AOSP in this models, Camera is not working but other functions are working at least normally as possible, but AOSP is not intended to be a daily usable ROM. And CM guys are working in CM12.1 but theres no stable CM12.1 for us. Instead. 2013 devices and older have an active CM12 development with good stability. Damn DRM and Sony drivers ¬¬
So....Be happy because some 5.0.2 Xperia users are annoyed with the bitter lollipop because of extreme heating, no wifi, no select sound configurations, low battery life and other uncomfortable issues that didnt happen when they were sweet chocolateys. These users are going to jump to 5.1 in July and the jumping is easy for them because they have at least lollipop.
Now, keep in mind that Android M is coming and I have my doubts about reaching M. Maybe lollipop (or kitkat) is going to be the latest and final android version for our E3, other mid rangers and oldest high end Xperias.

I hope that sony will update a device about 10 months and does not adopt policies like HTC who abandons its customers. I hope that Sony will not do so, otherwise, I do not buy a Sony product. We look at other manufacturers like Motorola that are upgrading the Moto X (2013), not only Samsung also updates its products dated, so I hope that the projects we are active on FXP to our devices have a future update.
Maybe it has to do with the internal storage. Remember the Xperiia M4 Aqua 8 GB version? That thing only has about 1.33 free space(1.75 with removed bloatware). Imagine the E3 with just its less than 4 GB... Android 5 uses way too much space. The only one I think still has a chance is T3. I'm pretty sure E4 is already set on the update map.

I can help, but test a rom why are not capable of using Github. If I spiegni or give me a guide I can try
@hell_lock should i upload now. cuz @thenemis gave you link.
@hell_lock about to my previous experince with cm11 of lte varriants i know that for porting it to our devices need to work on kernel/ramdisk and maby we need to work on rom for RIL only. after that only bug,s by fxp will be needed to be fixed.
but however this is lollipop and i have tested on kitkat.
Great!

What about D2212? :crying:
Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

Hi,
Thanks for sources tree... but unified kernel won't load camera after full build
all videos are in green sub color.
How use kernel 14.5.A.0.xxx? when I launch my build, my system build don't find the config file...

I don't know how to cook roms myself. I'm waiting for some dev that know cooking stuff to make the ROM based on Marshmallow.
It's a little weard tbh as there are new 5.1 roms all over the place, but no new topic's with 6.0.
The only ROM that I can find is the AOSP from FXP Group, but it's old (19th October) with bugs etc.
I don't know why they suspend the work on it.
We have official source from Sony to build 6.0 AOSP rom, + now the aosp camera possibilty and could even maybe import the theme engine, launcher from Sony Marshmallow Concept from Z3.
I know that it can be a lot, and its only my toughts as I don't know how exacly build this stuff up, and I just keep my finger cross that someone will grab hands on it and build some nice looking rom for our Z1 Compact.

I know that @erikcas is working on it, (mentioned in his Omni thread), and there is or was a build out there for Z1c - http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/ - which I flashed and got bootloop. Besides that, someone else started a thread which was closed. I don't know the details, but it seems like they weren''t being totally kosher, (it's still viewable somewhere in the forum). I'm sure we'll be seeing something more from FXP before too long...
Hi all
We have published a new snapshot, zip v14, with camera update (improved quality and stability)

Hi @jerpelea, I am unable to try openbootloader since I am waiting account confirmation from emma registration, never got confirmation... so do you want please to give me openbootloader binary for Amami? I want to try please!

Hello, you don't have to get account to use Emma, follow instructions from Sony here http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/ you probably skipped this part - Copy the Customization.ini file. You find it in the Flash_tool_for_Xperia_X.zip.
I can see there is no openbootloader for amami
Edit:
figured it out, its just need to flash ta update aka new s1 boot config.

Nothing special... just download flash tool from Sony site and folow instructions... download complete, flastool installed, simple start emma and connect your device in bootloader mode, til after you connect device in bootloader mode emma window will display few things on the right menu, install TA update and you are done with enabled recovery option (called openbootloader).

Hi all!
I'm happy to say that, thanks to iovyroot, and with a lot of help from zxz0O0, we managed to create a new root tool for the Xperia M2, EagleRootTool, meaning we don't actually need to use Kingroot anymore to root LBL devices under latest Lollipop firmware :victory:
However, since this root binary is compatible with (probably) any kernel built before December 2015, I thought of making the tool compatible with some other devices, like your C3, since it's actually very similar to my device.
Unfortunately, since it requires some kernel-specific addresses, to make it compatible with other devices like the C3, I need them from every single variant.
I'm going to take for reference all models and firmware build numbers from XperiFirm.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- An already rooted device in 19.4.A.0.182 (it doesn't matter if it was rooted by Kingroot, or via UBL methods).
- A little of Android general knowledge: Usage of ADB (mainly).
- Patience.
DEVICES:
- D2533 ✓
- D2502
HOW TO DO IT?:
Just open an ADB prompt and run a shell in it. Then, run the following commands, replacing the *location with storage/sdcard1 if you want to use your SD Card, or with data/media/0 if you want to use the internal memory.
Code:
su
cat /proc/version > /[COLOR="Purple"]*[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]location[/COLOR]/version.txt
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
cat /proc/kallsyms > /[COLOR="Purple"]*[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]location[/COLOR]/kallsyms.txt
(remember to hit enter after each line of the above :silly
Now upload those two files (version.txt & kallsyms.txt) wherever you want, or attach them in your comment, saying which model they're from, and I'll add the required offsets to support your device manually!
________________________
DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a placeholder NOR Spam thread. I just want to help this device users to get them supported in a common Lollipop Xperia rooting toolkit, since this device won't get Marshmallow, and has a compatible kernel. If you, moderator or user, decide to close/report this thread, I may understand it, but think it twice before doing it.

Sounds like a plan. I'll do it when I get the chance, just one question though. Did the C3/T2U/M2 lose any special features when the bootloader got unlocked?

Indeed, and I've already added support for the Xperia Z, Z1 and Z1c, just want to support as many devices as possible

If you're talking about DRM keys, no, they don't make you loose any functionality.

I got the files you need. Hopefully this will inspire development in the lesser known devices.

Xperia C3 (D2533) running stock 5.1.1 UB.
Edit: Not sure if relevant but running a Z2 framework.

The device is supported, and has been succesfully added, here you can have a look: https://github.com/sergiocastell/iovyroot/blob/patch-1/jni/offsets.c#L285
Thank you ^_^
inb4 the D2502 model also has the same kernel offsets, but it'd be nice if someone posted them, just to be sure
