D2202/D2212 Open devices bootloader - Sony Xperia E3

Hi guys.
Anyone using D2202/2212 had any success flashing the new bootloader?
Is there a way of flashing the bootloader without using EMMA since it doesn't work with our variant?
If someone can shed any light in this subject, that would be awesome. thanks in advance.

just download d2203 Open device bootloader FTF from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/development/ftf-device-18-5-c-0-19-t3136514 it will work..
old bootloder for d2212 can be used to return to stock one on d2212\d2202..
and if you flash then can you report me if
this cm11 works with it => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62899232&postcount=10
and you can also try aosp mashmellow/lollipop there are chances of them getting working but RIL will not.. maby by flashing stock ril,s it might work too..

bootloader bricked my device, just black screen and no sign of life. going back to stock bootloader
after flashing the open devices bootloader I couldn't access the recovery, wasn't sure of what I should do so just decided to go back to stock.
maybe I should have tried to push CM11 via ADB, but I don't have a lot of experience using ADB.
what do you think @vinay, should I try doing it?

it,s gonna be hard to port aosp L/M - cm12/13 if we don,t have any stable rom for open device bootloader.
see if AOSP M boot up on this. you can use fastboot flash in new bootloader this time..

still no sign of life.
flashed the new bootloader again and pushed all AOSP M files.
still only a black screen, no sign of life out of this bootloader for D2212.
CM11 is the last hope for a custom AOSP based rom for D2212 users.

You can try Custom ROM. Currently i am using AVD Rom, one of the best Stock based custom ROM for Xperia J, it works with both Locked & Unlocked Bootloader. Also you can try CM10.
Every ROM is different made in accordance with the user experiences and requirements.

Cm=cyanogenmod
And...in my opinion stock cm10 +riches kernel is faster than stock so if you want to overclock cpu and such things , install cm. but before , flash stock 4.0.4 dunno which build number it is XD
cause when not your gsm is not working
And another good thing, think you know it, riches kernel comes with dual recovery

When yes flash boot.img from cm then boot into recovery . Make factory reset,cache and dalvik wipe and go to mounts and storage , format system ... install avd rom , make permission fix (its in advanced) then dont reboot it , just take out battery then flash vengeance,simple or the stock kernel

Did you search and read that thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...orial-bootloader-unlocking-relocking-t2332900
On the end with Red color:
PS: You may run into bootloop or some other problems after unlocking bootloader. Simply flash stock FTF to fix.
Yes this is the thread I followed to the word..
I'll have to download the stock ftf? :\
I just read it somewhere that flashing a cwm recovery and wiping caches will remove the bootloop.. isnt that a better route to go through?

Files must be encrypted for fxp dev,s only untill release. that,s was front page won,t show any cm12 for e3(flamingo) it must be worse than even android L aosp.
Use SONY AOSP instead of CM12
I think its a better choice to follow official Sony AOSP Lollipop 5.0 method instead using Cyanogenmod 12. It doesnt matter if is D22XX (XX mean 02/03/06/12/43)
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-flamingo
Also, AOSP is closer to pureness in android, because even cyanogenmod have useful tricks that are not so pure.
@Exerath Try the AOSP and tell us!

I tried AOSP 5.0 BUT the only thing that makes me go back to kitkat is the knew bug with photos, If I can't take photos with my phone, I just can't work (I need to take photos oftens because I work on a "chantier" (not sure about the word but know as Dockyard too)
I would be happy to use AOSP and a working camera, if possible having root too so, if you have the solution --- Tell me how please
UP
I'm using 'AOSP_L_150129_flamingo' rooted - no camera, no gps ,no video and no recovery, Wifi was working but now it's not, bluetooth is good. I then flashed the boot image from 'Cwm20150203-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo' and now have recovery and still rooted.
So lots o good things but it's not usable yet.

hi,
I tried to flash FXP cm12 to my phone, and followed by this steps:
- I downloaded FXP-cm-12-20150209-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo.zip from here.
- Extract boot.img from zip.
- Flashed boot.img to my D2203. ( fastboot flash boot boot.img )
- Turn on the phone.
- When I pressed the Vol-Down key, when the purple light is on, I thought, the CWM will come, but it isn't.
- Nothing happened.
1st question: what did I do wrong?
2nd question: how can be flash the FXP cm12 to the D2203?
3rd question: from where can be download the working(!!) boot.img to cm12?
Thanks for reply.
ps: of course, at the end of the process, the rooted boot.img went back to the phone, and now it's working well...

Return to stock inmediately and wait until sony releases an official lollipop. Stock is nice and you can use it everyday
But if you want lollipop so bad
Currently, FXP CM12 is not working well, but AOSP is working with bugs (no camera, no wake up) but is better than FXP CM12
I was dowload the FXP-cm-12-20150302-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo.zip,
from here.
Extract boot.img from zip, and flashed. ( fastboot flash boot boot.img )
Does anyone know how to, which keys press exactly to get CWM recovery?
VolumeUp or VolumeDown don't working.
I have D2203.
CM11 and CM12 now working on D2203
CM11 no bugs, everything working (NFC dont count as bug cause its just useless...)
CM12 almost same bugs as AOSP + no sound in rear speaker

Before I start to offer ideas on the issue do you have any idea what caused this to start?
Did you flash a custom ROM/Recovery/Firmware to the phone or did it just stop working ?

Yes. I try to unlock bootloader by official way. But i couldnt unlock it on that way. So I unlocked it using flash tool.
Then i install cwm recovery. But after that i couldnt turn on my phone. I think i did some mistake.

Then the best option is to download the flashing tool for your device and flash the stock firmware to it using fastboot. That should get it into a working state which you can then work from to install a custom recovery.

Before booting/after flashing the firmware make sure you reset the device in recovery so it has a "clean slate" to boot to as this should remove any old apps/settings from the previous firmware/ROM that could cause it to bootloop
