FlashTool doesn't support Sony XZ Premium.
You have to use NewFlasher

@FartyParty, you have to stop mirroring my work, read forum rules!

There's no rule against mirroring.
I'm not claiming "your" tool as my own, hence no rules has been broken.
Also welcome back, lets hope you've learned your lesson and will behave this time .

Your mirrored links without link to the author thread is reported right now, hope removed soon. Using somebody work and posting it without author permission break forum rules, read forum rules twice if you not believe me. I no need further discussion with you.

Can you link me to that rule. The only rules I saw were about people taking other works and claiming them as their own.
I saw nothing about simply mirroring something.

Don't you think that what could initially be understood as your temporary breakdown can now be considered even worse? How about starting to behave as an adult and not a kid.

Rule 12-4.
- in-process builds start showing up on forums when the developer is not yet ready to release the work;
I temporary stopped my thread (removed it temporary), understand now?
Also it can be also related to rule 12.1:
12-1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
I didn't gave acknowledgements to anybody to share my work further, right?

That's in no way the same thing as what I was doing. I simply offered an alternative download for the tool so people could use it since you were banned.
I in no way altered it, used it as a base for other work, I didn't claim it as my own, people who downloaded it knew who the creator were etc.
Sorry but no. I will not remove the current links, I will leave that up to a mod to decide if they its breaking rules or not.

Rule 12.4 as I have temporary removed OP because malware was on UPX packed exe, it was not a ready for releasing so I removed OP.

You released it 9th June 2017, 05:58 PM.
But ok, using your logic I should be fine since I haven't mirrored your newest version.
Only the older one before you got banned.

You have mirrored booth see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73217056&postcount=337 but It does not matter which version is in question when OP is not a ready jet. I will contact andministrators about mirror links things and ask him to try explicitly define thing related to mirrored links

I have included GordonGate flash driver in the latest newflasher, yesterday version, simple download and double click newflasher.exe it will ask you for driver archive extraction, confirm "y" and GordonGate.7z will become available in the same folder, extract GordonGate.7z using SevenZip archiver and install GordonGate drivers trought Windows device mannager and you're done

No they are still before you got banned so its not the newest version you released just now.
Good idea about asking for more specific rules about mirroring so we all know.

haha realy? What's the difference when there OP is not ready jet? No problem mate, lets forget it ok? Just for further, hope we get clear statement about mirror links and get it explicitly defined in forum rules. I am 7 years here and thing which I learned is definitelly to not mirror anybody work. Just look into my 7720 posts and you definitelly will not see any mirror link inside any of the my posts. You will learn that when you become developer and when you start working hard on something, I am pretty sure you will not like when somebody start mirroring your work. Lets forget all now and leave this OP clean

[Q] CM12 OpenDesireProject / TWRP

Hi, yesterday I wanted to try latest CM12 for Saga (20141204) and there are some fixes needed:
- touchscreen
- home key
However, whenever I move those files into designated folders I get bootloop (If I am not trying to fix anything, system boots as normal).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What am I doing wrong?
Also to try that, it is necessary to have TWRP 2.8 recovery for Saga, which for some reason takes ages to load - everytime i go to recovery, it takes like 5 minutes to load - when I compare it to latest 4EXT, it is matter of seconds...

Does anyone experience same problem, is there anything that can be done?
PS: Sorry for stupid post, I cannot post to development forum at this point.

CM-12 OpenDesireProject for saga has just begun. What you were facing is common to all, on top of that the built you mentioned has a missing file, so it behaved weirdly. Try the newer built, it is much better, but still some bugs to be solved. Probably in February next year, improvement should be moving faster, this is just my expectation. So be patient.
People should keep in mind that posting on a commercial forum and voluntary forum might be differently interpreted because voluntary forum needs supporting rather than demanding. While a post on commercial forum is quite common, the same post might be a demanding post on a voluntary forum.
will it work on MDDI panel? I moved to another device but I still have DS as backup device and it would be nice to see CM12 running on it

[FAQ][HELP THREAD][GUIDES LIST] Ask Any Question for Xperia L

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)
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.

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.

@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.

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 .

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?

[Q] How to verify a third party apk download?

I have an old phone that uses Android 2.x, I think froyo or gingerbread. I want to download AFWall+ which is a firewall application that's the successor to DroidWall. The problem is the most recent version no longer supports the Android version used by my old phone. The app's details are here (I can't make it a hyperlink because I don't have 10 posts):
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall&hl=en
The relevant part says:
- Supports 4.x ,5.x and 6.x (for 2.x support use 1.3.4.1 version)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the problem is I don't know how to get the 1.3.4.1 version and verify it is the legitimate version. There are a lot of websites that offer downloads for older versions of apks but they could inject anything they want in them couldn't they?
I would ask the developer in his thread what is the proper way to go about this but as I mentioned I don't meet the post requirements at the moment.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

I'm sorry but I did not have time yesterday. I don't have access to a proper computer so I am using my raspberry pi to do all this. Since it does not have a photo editor I am working on a google slide document that will be accessible by link. I'll post it here as fast as I am done

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please
help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot!
Bootloader unlock - HERE
Found some ROM's also .... Althought, You'll Need TAMPERMONKEY and Baidu Download Script for Tampermoney
ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,
since it requires to be registered ...
And, as bonus ...
I found Russian modified ROM's ....
HERE for HW version A01
and
HERE for HW version M02
TWRP Recovery - HERE
Check HW version of your phone, if you want to flash roms and BEFORE screwing it up.
Hope that's enough for now ....
p.s. Be carefull what are you doing and flashing into phone. Links I posted are from third party sources,
people reported they are working, but all you do - you do on your own responsibility.

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !
I am Chinese

Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?
I see

I'm sorry
