Sony Xperia E5 (F3311) - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I want to put Custom ROM in Xperia E5, F3311 model, but I can not find ROM & TWRP for this model. The bootloader if I have unlock option, but if there is no recovery, do not unlock device. Anyone know any options for this? Thank you very much.

There is no custom Recovery nor custom Rom for this device. There even is no method to Root it.

Thank you very much for your reply. There is nobody who can do something like this ?.

@Juako
Probably nobody with knowledge and this device.
From one hand it shouldn't be hard to port Recovery, as there are scripts to port Kernels/Roms/Recoveries for MTK devices (not sure if for every SoC), as well universal ones, however Sony is not like all Chinese companies which use universal devices (same inside, different outside), so there can be so many changes that it won't work and than knowledge/experience is mandatory.

What inconvenience, I buy it for my wife, but I spend enough battery. That's why I wanted to do recovery & root, at least, so I can uninstall or freeze Sony applications. Better a proper Rom, of course. But it is inconvenient to know that this is so. Thank you very much and good weekend.

Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted
This can be done as i have done it
Try these hope it helps

Actually, rooting is pretty easy.
What you need to do is port a TWRP recovery from a similar chipset, then you would have to figure out the FSTAB files because you would get mounting errors.
or
Build TWRP from device tree with E5's stock kernel

I have same F3311 and thanks to this one:

There is custom rom and twrp for Xperia E5.

Hello,
I've been there several times, but I've just registered. Sorry, my english is not so good ...
I got an xperia E5 F3311 and search for a custom Rome. Unfortunately, I find here some Rom,s only for E (series?) And here I read then there is none for the E5? Is this correct, or do the custom Roms for the E (serie) also work with the E5? I am a bit confused...
I'm looking forward to an answer,
paulhu

@paulhu
There is no customs for E5. And the ones for other devices, like other Es, not only won't work, but will brick Your device.

Hy,
thank you for the very fast answer!
This is very unfortunate. So also the post (here) from " TAIMOON" is wrong,...?
So but it is possible to root and install custom recovery safely? Or is this also a "fake message"? Im a little afraid because of your warning.

Not sure what he meant by custom rom, but think it was not a rom, but kernel, coz that thread has modded kernel and TWRP used for Root. And that is true, there is no custom rom for E5, but at least it can be rooted.

Ok, thank you!
So i think i will follow the tutorials of those links and root the device. Maybe after i find a way to waste the sony apps....

Root availeble
Just search Sony Xperia E5 (or f3311) bootloader and you'll see a Sony developer site! There is a list of all phone models and guides!

[Q] New Android Noob

Hey guys,
I just purchased a used Asus Transformer off of Ebay and it has arrived yesterday. I'm pretty much an Android noob but to my understanding the Asus has already been Rooted. From the description given on Ebay the device seems to have a Rom called Android Revolution HD (or something) What I want to know is how can I tell if my device has this Rom installed since it looks exactly like the Asus stock firmware? (Just in case this version is outdated or I want to change to a new Rom) I also see that this device also has a custom kernel ([email protected]) My question is, is it possible to return to the stock kernel of Honeycomb? Or is there any recommended kernels out there? Is it possible to flash a new kernel without affecting the Rom or Root? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for helping a noob out!
Did you buy it from someone else?
Wolfbreaks ROM with DoomLord Kernel = Awesome =)
Yeah I purchased off of someone else on Ebay. I did ask him to unroot and restore to factory settings which i thought he did since I'm not too familiar with Android. However after some reading last night I found out that the device was still rooted since it had the app Superuser. That's why i want to know how can i tell if the device is still running the Android Revolution HD Rom or not. Since I don't know if he removed it or not.
You can identify it at about phone or phones detail.. Theres a build number that state your rom

Oh so the build number will indicate if it's a custom Rom or not?
Depends.. Usually itstated what rom you use..

Hello everyone, I'm not sure about which section to post this but, I have read the threads about rooting and going down the ''proper channel'' to root, SE says, if my Bootloader unlock allowed says 'NO', rooting can't be done. I just bought an Xperia Play800i and it says NO.
Is there any way to root it? Also, what is recommended first in your opinion > 1.(Unlock,Root,Flash) or 2.(Unlock,Flash,Root) or 3.(Root,Unlock,Flash).
Many thanks in advance.

hope this helps..
sorry but in Samsung galaxy plus (i9001) where i can look to see that effectively is my custom rom installed?
Try going into settings and looking at device info. It may have what rom it is running in there. If not, I am not sure where else you could find that out.

Please google the following topics and read articles on them; unlocking, roms, custom roms, adb, fastboot, android bootloader, oem. You have to understand that when unlocking and installing custom anything, there is always a possibility that something might go wrong. It is a risk that someone must take if they are willing to install a ROM that was not designed by the OEM of a specific device (in your case, Sony Ericsson).

P. S. Any kernel numbers etc. you may need I can add if asked but to be honest I don't know what you need

It doesn't seem very stable. Not something I want to risk n my daily driver or am I paranoid?
No, this rom is in development that's wahy it seems not really stable.
The best you can do it's to go to both of Z1 Android Development and Z1 Original Android Development, read and choose one of these roms.
I cannot tell you if this rom is best than the other, because you must read, and read before to select and try a rom
Don't forget you need to read with attention my second link which is really important for rooting your device etc... and don't ne afraid, it's easy :good:

Also, what's the difference between the rooting and cyanogenmod. I have seen rooting before but never really seemed good, I've seen cyanogenmod before but now I'm confused between the two
You need to be root if you want to flash a custom rom like cyanogen rom.

[XPERIA E1 Dual TV D2114] Porting cyanogenmod or any other custom rom

Hi developers, I have this Sony phone and there is no custom ROM for this device yet and I would like to create one for my own use and possibly made it available for others if I am successful. I am so tired of the bloated software which I can't get rid of that I don't care about bricking this phone anymore.
Some years ago I used to fix computers, printers and networks for banks. I'm new in Android systems but not in computer systems. I did Install OS's like linux flavors or updated printer firmwares in my days so this is not new for me, I just want a little of a guidance to start.
I know how to root my Android system using the app called TOWEL ROOT (the only that has worked in this phone).
The next step that haven't done yet is unlocking the BOOTLOADER, which I don't find difficult to do according to what I have read so far.
My concern is: there is no custom ROM to install after the BOOTLOADER is unlocked, so if I want one I would have to build one. I've watched a tutorial on youtube and I've read the cyanogenmod wiki, but the amount of information is so huge that I got lost and frustrated and that's the help I ask. Could any of you tell me the information I need to read to understand how I could port a custom ROM to my device?
If more information is necessary I'll be glad to provide.
Nobody has made a custom rom for e1.make if you like.
Sent from my D2005
I'm no expert here, but maybe you could try this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Your phone is fairly new and I'm pretty sure kernel sources are on Sony's website, so maybe one of you guys could give it a shot. I would, but I don't have an E1.

That would be nice Calingo
Too bad there are so many people in need of that and is not aware of this/your intention.
The device is not bad at all although there are newer releases. Even though being able to update/upgrade it it's good for everyone.

Plese help me update my huawei ascend G730 to lolipop 5.0
Please help me flash the stock rom, I rooted the device, but I cannot proceed with flashing the stock rom or any custom rom. Phone works but some of the functionalities are missing, there are very few post regarding G730-U10 in the net and the Huawei site also has nothing much to offer.
I am waiting as well to upgrade my huawei to lollipop. I am certain many people are desiring the same but have not discovered this site.
i dont think Calingo has any concern about it anymore
People didn't vote but al least 10 post are asking to support this device! Me too i like to update the huawei ascend g730 with lollipop or kitkat and huawei is not releasing any update, and no cyanogenmod for this device.
