Phone am ready to reinstalling rom, but I do not know what to choose from cm12 above numbers. I've never found one this marking. I still someone? thanks
Hi,
It would be best to ask in the rom thread you found the downloads in. I'm also assuming those are made for your exact device make and model number.
But it looks to me they are simply created on different days. The first is November 19, 2014 and the second one is December 31, 2014. Many roms get named that way, with the build date in filename.
Good luck!

I understand and I think that it is continuously updated. That is why there are so many files. So I pick the last one and install.
When I looked at the model number or any information about the phone I found no specific data. I hope it will be good.
One more thing. It is in the Czech language supported?
I couldn't tell you I'm afraid. I don't own your device and haven't used it. Again, check settings or ask in the rom thread. ?

that you did not consult me too. I hope that the rom i cz, and me will go lollipop upload to your phone when mam android 4.2.2 jb
I'm sorry , I don't understand what you are asking. You don't know where to ask for help? Ask in the thread that you found the rom in.
Here is your device section....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini
The general has lots of info. The Q&A section is for asking for help. And the 2 Development sections have roms for your device. Cm12 as well, if there is one. ?
Good luck! Thread closed.
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,
Pranav

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)
It doesn't have to have plenty of functionality (but would be nice if it really had some)

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.
next request: remove this repartitioning guide! its the best methode to hardbrick your device...

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.
Cheers.

@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.

I've been using UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip since cm12 and have had no issues. I did have problems with another version (i can't remember which, unfortunately). [emoji4]

xperia l
've unlocked bootloader by following the instructions provided on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and the fastboot tool sad "OKAY". 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 . I've tried holding the volume up button while starting up (the logos) and holding down both volume buttons and nothing happened.
Is there any way to fix this?

Strange enough. After I put this guide up, there has been less questions in the forum. Guide working ? What do you reckon
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?

This info is just to drop new update info to users like me who have Minix Neo X5, X7 or these mini versions.
Been using a fixed rom and firmware to be able to watch HD movies on my Minix Neo X5 mini for a while and as it can be reffered has quite old hardware specs for Android TV box, i wasn't expecting updates... Untill last months were someone got their hands on development for these boxes, as mentioned on minix forum.
So first i want to thank the developers cuoted there:
"From the MINIX Forum Developers Team;
@gufone
@hardwareGuru
@kar
Also thanks to the MINIX Engineers, without them we would not come this far! "
All info can be found at search engine (i can't post links yet) "x5mini-kitkat-240-june-4th-2015.6184"
Don't forget as usual that before flashing you should backup your device so you can get back if something goes wrong;
download all tools first and install them and read carefully all info, even pay attention that someone says it might be hard to go back from kitkat to jellybean if you want, so proceed on your own risk and don't try to take responsability to others if something goes bad! There's plenty information to do this safelly. One good advise is to start flashing from a clean stock.
Read other users post for functionallity and issues, this is official firmware but a development one!
Thanks everyone involved!
Hello I'll currently deciding whether to get an Xperia s or the Xperia sp, I noticed that the S is on sonys AOSP page along with some other devices but the SP wasn't on there, what does this mean or doesn't it really matter, also I would really like Android M/6 on whatever device I choose does it affect that?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
If the device isn't listed on Sony's AOSP supported devices, that just means that they will only give updates with Sony's skin of Android. It won't impact custom ROM development as that will be dependent on the number of developers in the community with the same device as you choose, as well as the availability of the phone's source code. There are ROMs available on XDA for the Xperia SP visit the forum below:
Xperia SP Android Development
Xperia SP Original Android Development
Marshmallow is still a WIP for the Xperia SP device, so you may not see it as a suitable upgrade.
As for the Xperia S, here is the development forum below:
Xperia S Android Development
The xperia s has more marshmallow roms compared to the xperia sp, so you may prefer it because it is a more actively developed device.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
Hello thanks for the reply, what do you mean by "only give updates with Sony's skin of Android" I thought neither the Xperia S or SP got updated anymore with them being older phones or am I not quite getting this haha? Also if you could recommend one I would really appreciate it thanks.
Great Xperia users ~! The Xperia non-official program
There are so many that my mind is getting confused
I have 2 questions and leave a post
Question 1
The Japanese version is an nfc that has a completely different specification from the global version.
So if you replace the firmware with a different version in the Japanese version
I know you can't use nfc,
I wonder if it is impossible to replace the ROM with another country version
(Example: Brick)
Question 2
During the volte patching process, Xperia is not only changing the efs file.
I need to change the oem file, but can I disassemble the file from modem.sin?
Please help me, I am a complete beginner If you can help me, I will donate
