New bootloader for open devices (now with real recovery) - Sony Xperia M2

Hi all,
I have a great news
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
Bootloader is compatible with open devices roms and also enables real recovery (Volume Down + Power)
to flash recovery partition on device you have to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Happy Cooking
J
PS.
in case latest software does not appear just press "all Services"
flash latest software available and on top new loader

Just tested, and it works good.
Not having separated recovery is probably the thing that bothered me most in Sony development.
And can confirm PM on 3.10 is working now.
Thanks jerpelea!

Bootloader version you can see in EMMA after you plug in the phone, about certain versions, I don't know.

@galaxyfreak
I managed to flash New bootloader and then "recovery.img" on it!
So is that recovery stays there no matter what firmware/kernel i put on the phone?

Why "CM Recovery"?
CWM is all the time being the Best and popular recovery and have a backup option!
Maybe wrong thread to ask such questions?

It is a wrong thread but screw it.
Because I build CM ROMs and CM recovery is default there.
I do agree that they've dropped CWM way too early, but I think it's not compatible with 5.0 zip layout, so it's either this or TWRP (which is kind of an OmniROM thing).

Hello I like to ask you is the new recovery that you provided in your CM12.1 thread compatible with stock official kitkat roms?
I like to thank you for the work you put into to cm12.1 and previous versions.
and looking forward to the true recovery soon

It should work.

@galaxyfreak
OK thanks for the reply. I have used the fastboot method to flash the recovery and found no change to that part of the system.

Just flashed new bootloader and yes: PM is working now with latest kernel/AOSP.
Thank you!!
Further testing will be done and posted in other M2 forums.

Tried every possible combination. But still bootloop. Beta2 was better. I guess the problem is in the boot.img of the FXP318.
Anyway, I saw a post which said that we need to use boot.img and vold from beta2 for FXP318. Anybody tried that?
I used the boot.img, but no luck. I don't know how to use vold.

corphish said:
Always been a fan of AOSPA, thanks!!
A question-
1. As this is based on AOSP, what changes you did in the kernel or ramdisk to get ROM to boot to homescreen?
Because, if kernels like ThunderZap (until 4.15) is flashed on AOSP based ROMs, results in bootloop.

Isn't EuphoriaOS also AOSP based? Then how does it boot fine with Tz 4.15? Just asking coz I'm curious.

there's unavailable to setting notification drawer ???

There isn't. Its not like CyanogenMod, different features on different ROMs.
Notification drawer is not one of the features of AOSPA.
Hi,
I tried to flash the zip on a recently unlocked device with TWRP but I have this error message: "error executing updater binary in zip".
Does it work if I flash the boot.img with flashtool? Or should I do differently?

[XL]Multirom! Anyone up? Test 1

I recently ported MultiROM to Xperia M and I have the sources up and I am willing not to waste them.
Disclaimer : I am not responsible for anything that happens to you or your device after flashing this mod. Though, nothing generally happens when you do it right. Make backup, always.
I have ported it xperia M
Here are some files for testing
You need CM-12.1 installed to test this.
Links removed
RECOVERY.IMG - To be flashed on fota partition
XL_CM-kexec-xx-xx-xxxx.zip - To be flashed in recovery
multirom-xxxxxxxx-v31x-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan.zip - To be flashed in recovery
Next boot should come up with multirom menu
If it does, post screens, if doesn't , post last_kmsg.
Due to lack of my knowledge, I have dismissed this project.

Doesn't matter, because I had removed assert from updater-script and no ROM flashing is required in here.
So all files must be good and compatible.
Hey, great job in compiling this. I want to try this out but what are the risks? Can I get hardbricked?
The recovery included in the recovery.img is Cyanogen Recovery.
So cannot able to flash those zips.
I heard MultiROM uses modded TWRP.
Please check

i did have a look at this recovery.img ... its definitly a TWRP build... but its damn wrong.... wrong qcom.fstab and recovery.fstab ... NO twrp.fstab ... healthhd seems to have wrong size (ok im not 100% with that but experience says it must be bigger) ... the Size of theme images is wrong.... AND the ramdisk size is totally above the size the kernel will load... thats why it leads to a "broken" recovery-load .... that will lead to a emergency load of kernel-inbuild recovery....
@ OP didnt you got make errors? after seeing this im sure you have build with -i -k
---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------
ok without any kind of warranty that this will work... i have manipulated this recovery.img (NOT BUILD FROM SOURCE! MANUALLY REPAIR! ) ... maybe this works maybe not....
like you know my device is gone atm.... so maybe if my device is back i will have a deeper look into this...

No, definitely not. He just used my sources (XperiaMultiROM) to compile it, which is a piece of cake. Honestly, if porting MultiROM was just a matter of compiling, monkeys could do it too.
OP: Blind builds are not encouraged on XDA. Especially when they're untested and broken.
And no, this shouldn't hardbrick your phone. You'll need to reflash your kernel and the system partition in the worst case.

To everyone:
I am sorry for doing it all wrong and blindly. I just had ported to a similar device and had it working perfectly.
Never knew CM sources wouldn't work for XL. Basically I trusted on CM people for device tree and kernel, which I shouldn't have definitely.
If anyone feels to, can apply for closing down the thread. I have other devices, I'll try getting it to work on them.
