[Q] New CyanogenMod 7 Problem

I have followed the guide step by step by first installing fastboot rom then restart in fastboot mode (Hold the camera button at power on) to install the latest 2.3.4 CyanogenMod 7 by MU4RIK. It installs without any errors. But when I restart the phone, it shows SwiftDroid logo and then it just gets stuck on the CyanogenMod 7 screen. I have waited more than 20 min but it never gets past it. I even tried recovery method but same problem. Also I have never installed any other rom except the official 2.1 with fastboot. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have u tried flashing it again??? with fastboot i mean..

Also der r many guides in dis thread for these kinds of problems.... try flashin da kdz file..use mu4riks 1

You can try go into fastboot mode and write in cmd console command for wipe:
fastboot -w

Wipe Data
When In recovery select wipe data/factory reset and it will boot.

Thanks airbus360 It works perfectly.

Just tried it on my unlocked Z1
results:
I flashed the TA update as I was supposed to do and EMMA said that nothing went wrong
Flashed twrp recovery (fastboot flash recovery)
pressed power and volume down -> phone vibrated -> let go of power -> sony logo shows up and phone boots normally...
Am I missing something?

Which devices are compatible? For now, just those with Cortex-A7 processors. Those are:
•Xperia T2 Ultra
•Xperia T3
•Xperia M2

Actually you are wrong. According to developer.sonymobile.com the Z1 product line is also supported:
Supported devices
With the latest software provided through our Flash tool for Xperia devices, recovery mode is available for Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, and Xperia T3 devices with unlocked boot loader.

However I'm no Sony developer and I'm facing the same issue.

Xperia Z Ultra user here and the same result, device is booting normally when holding power and vol-. Maybe because the recoveries are made to work on FOTAKernel partition and they won't work on normal recovery partition?

That sounds interesting [emoji106] But do you think also the recovery images without boot?

I don't know how things are on Z1, but on ZU we have TWRP which can be flashed to FOTAKernel partition, so it can be booted on custom roms and it survives flashing custom roms. The thing is, the recovery is packed with FOTAKernel ramdisk so it still can be functional and maybe when we flash it to normal recovery partition and try to boot from it, the device don't know what to do because of the FOTAKernel ramdisk packed with it? Seems like this could be the reason but I am not an expert (15 yrs old stud can't know much about it ), just presuming. If so, recoveries have to be rebuilt to work now.
Regards

OK, yes for Z1 we have an unofficial TWRP 2.8 build to use with FOTAKernel partition. Perhaps it's the same as you described for ZU. BTW., I'm a 16 yo student, so can't know much either [emoji13]

It seems to work for me now! Flashed a random recovery to the FOTAKernel partition of my Z1 (ROCKZ1L kernel) and I had a twrp recovery on the recovery partition. Steps after that:
Press volume down and power and wait for vibration then release power and when the sony logo shows up and the purple led goes on release volume down and the recovery should boot!

Ehm.. Are you sure you didn't just flash a kernel with builtin TWRP recovery? Thats something different and has nothing to with the new bootloader, actually that's what we used to flash a recovery before the update...

But can you tell me how exactly you flashed it? Via FLashTool or via fastbbot flash recovery?

Possible but I remembered that my kernel only starts the recovery if the volume down button is tapped every second
and I flashed it via adb shell as fastboot has no access to the fotakernel
just copy the img over to your sdcard and do:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

actually there is a recovery img in the latest aosp build for amami, but after flashing the whole rom it bootloops and the recovery is not possible to access

For locked bl also ?
Because i see in the video only unlocked bl !
Bye bye DRM keys or not ?

U have to wait for prebuilt recovery by devs with needed changes or use fxp builds. For now it doesn't work like all thinking.
BTW, for unlocked Bootloader.

Good news, as @dkionline said, recoveries from AOSP builds from fxp works fine here on Z Ultra for example, but they are just pure AOSP ones and for me on ZU, the recovery menu is not visible, there is a Sony logo, then the Android with exclamation mark and pressing Power and Vol+ (on my Nexus 5 it brings the menu) just leaves you with a blank screen.

Hi
my M2 is unlocked, with open device kernel. I have a CM recovery.img but there is not backup/recovery option in it. So I wanted to know if it is possible for someone to build a twrp recovery.img for the open device kernel
Thank in advance

Cheers :highfive:

thanks for this.
I think there's a better way to do this though.
Systemless root has been around for a while.
Wouldn't it be better to just.
1) unlock the bootloader if locked
2) flash TWRP
3) flash systemless root supersu zip file
4) profit
?

This info on my topic it's correct because I test and now it's work.
Some time people unlock bootloader on lp and they can flash twrp. Full unlock you can do it only on first kk rom

Hi Chudy, I'm not saying it's incorrect.
and appreciate the effort.
I'm only giving an alternative process.
systemless root is full root.

You with about chainfire new method. I read about this and this method it's for 6.0 android. I don't test because I have unlocked bootloader and I can all the time use twrp to flash supersu.zip and root my phone. Do you test chainfire method???

Yeah, systemless root is chainfire's new root method.
Instead of modifying the system partition, it modifies the boot partition.
It was originally done for 6.0 but now works for 5.x
His first versions were just boot.img customised for various devices (ours wasn't) but he later made a method to modify the boot.img straight from recovery.
I haven't tried it as I'm waiting for marshmallow stock OTA, and can't be bothered flashing multiple times, but I have tried it on another device on 5.1.1 and it works well.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on the ascend mate 7

Boot.img it's kernel. If you want flash using fastboot you need unlock bootloader. If I have right to flash anything we must unlock bootloader and we only unlock if we have root and install honor.apk and permission. When you want unlock bootloader using official huawei web site we must wait very long to massage to us with code to unlock. You have right we can use you method to root but any body check this method work. I don't try patch boot.img to flash. Better it's when some developers do it kernel with oc to mt7 with root

Yes, you need unlocked bootloader form the process to work.
Some people might have it unlocked already, and they could just go with the systemless root as an easier alternative.
Or if not, they could combine your process first half (to unlock the bootloader) and mine to root..

simki posted a guide on how to get the huawei unlock code

So I had Cyanogenmod 13 installed on my Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21 and I decided to go back to stock. I could not find a tutorial how to go back to stock from cyanogenmod so I just flashed the whole zip file which contained UPDATE.APP. Now when I try to boot my phone it shows me a black screen. If I connect my phone to pc it does not recognize it. I then put only the UPDATE.APP in the dload folder and tried updating using the three button method but it says software install failed. I know it was my fault but I somehow missed Meticuluses tutorial --->
How do I get back to stock?
If you have an sdcard and followed the install instructions.
In TWRP: Advanced->Extras->Restore Dump
Reboot System
Now the system will boot up like it's brand new. May take 5mins or so.
Once the system has booted you can reboot back to recovery and restore your back up.
If you do not have an sdcard all you have to do is put system.img and boot.img back on the phone in /emmc and do the 2 commands in reverse and format /data in recovery adb shell like this:
dd if=/emmc/system.img of=dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/system
dd if=/emmc/boot.img of=dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/boot
make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/userdata

You can restore your stock rom with your own backup in twrp mode.. it is in step by step manual....

Can you boot to fastboot?
If yes check if bootloader is locked/unlocked. Install again TWRP and try again.

Uhm, try to open device manager and see if the phone is recognized.

Return to Huawei warranty and tell them its caused due a update...flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader first....i've had this problem also for 10 days.

Could it be that it does not recognise it because i had cm installed

I cant find my phone in device manager

Reinstall adb drivers and go to fastboot mode

I did install the drivers. When I go in fastboot mode and connect my phone to pc, I hear a sound when I connect the phon and HiSuite shows up but it only says device not connected. And when I open cmd and type in adb devices it does not show any device.

Ok I managed to solve the problem thanks

Hi,
I have the same issue. i want to upgrade to lineage 14.1 but when i tried to upgrade to cm13 after unbricking i went straight into bootloop or brick or something. im not exactly the smartest on this topic aha. have you figured a way to upgrade to lineage os?

Just press and hold power button + volume up+volume down , all three together for few seconds. You'll be in recovery, from there you can go into fastboot(bootloader)

once again its showing the zuk logo only..
is there any solution??
