Compiled using the following device tree: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_z3c
Working:
Nothing, as far as I am concerned which is why you should use at your own risk.
Not Working:
Everything, as far as I am concerned which is why you should use at your own risk.
UPDATED - File: See Post Update Below | [md5] 4889d4bad5b07326c530ccc9e575acd1

Thank you to Kali- and chirayudesai for setting up device tree at: android_device_sony_z3c
And, thank you to the people who spared the time in correcting my silly mistakes, and for responding to my even sillier questions.

When i select choose form sdcard1 from main recovery menu, i get a wiping cache messages, and then it reverts back to the main screen, same when selecting internal storage.
When using TWRP from a different fasbooted kernel (AndroPlus Kernel for Stock FW / ROM), i get status 7.
Cheers

delect first sentence in update script leads to success of flashing this rom,it boots up,with animation,but when screen shows starting applications then it reboots,cannot enter the system.

Did you try flashing with CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 by DooMLoRD?

Thank you both for your feedback

Recompiled with repo sync
Updated: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_z3c,n,z
No more errors when extracting proprietary files.
Did not touch updater script, though, so you find yourself with the same issues.
For those who do not know how to download from free file host servers:
I use Ad block so did not come with any issues, also never had a problem before today with go4up.
Mod edit

why the installer file is .exe to be download, is there any mirror / direct link to download and test this CM12 by .zip file, exe format may sound confusing and i am not comfortable to download it, i am keen to try, thanks.

the site u chose is full of apps crap,which caused many issues yesterday,though it's fast?

So Let's Get Started!
Firstly, you are reminded, NOT TO ASK ETAs
Q. How do i root my Optimus One/Optimus V?
A. Is been everywhere now... So now i show u where is the links...
If ur phone is running on 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, follow this guide below:
SuperOneClick v2.1.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
1. Download the zip
2. Extract it to the root directory like:
C:/User/User/Desktop/SuperOneClick
3.Turn on ur USB Debugging at Settings > Application > Development
4. Plug your phone into the PC
5. Press ROOT
6. Drink something or Fanta
7. Done, next go to Post 2 for How to flash ROM and permissions...
2.3.3 Rooting Guide here... Thanks to duvrak0
Firstly, download this zip from here and extract it to your desktop
And download driver pack from here
0. Backup ur SMS/Contacts and everthing with MyBackup Pro
1. Hard reset your phone either with system->privacy->erase all data or turning your phone off, and holding HOME + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON.
2. After phone boots up, you have clean file system, then go to Applications, and turn on USB debugging mode.
1. Connect your phone with usb cables, make sure you have installed all the drivers needed, and connect phone in DEBUGGING Mode (provided a bit upper on this post)
2. In the extracted folder called root on your desktop, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe if u run win7 or cmdXP.exe (run as administrator in both options) if ur pc runs win XP. (your address bar should like something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Desktop\root\ADB
3. After starting cmd7 (for Windows 7 or Windows Developers Preview) or cmdXP (Windows XP), type following commands
Code:
adb devices
then
Code:
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
4. After doing this, Reboot... Or do this command on sdk:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
5. After reboot, go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
6. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
7. After BOOM!!!, if not working, restart from Step 1... You have rooted Optimus One.
8. Reboot again and update superuser app from market (version must be 3.0.6 and binary must be 3.0.0)
Now for Optimus V (Cant tell much as i dunt have a Optimus V, sorry guys, girls!)
Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
Installing Recoveries, ROMs and fixing permissions
Recoveries

Cool!
Superuser binaries have been updated to 3.0.3 now.
Dax, you are too kind.
I think anyone wanting to root/recovery/flash should do their time reading, and then read some more.... THEN and only THEN should be allowed to ask intelligent questions based on the research they have done.
In the end I think you are only allowing newbs to be lazy with your UCG.
We have stickies for this very reason, but no one reads them it seems.
And no one seems to watch this either, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JmvCpR45LKA

Well said and pretty much true.
There is another thread like this by victortangocharlie where hes exlplained multiple methods for installing recoveries.
But stickysours thread is huge. and too many questions, so a compact thread is always better implemented.
P.S - IMO !

benz, i've installed the rom...unfortunately, the nfc failed to load....dialog box keep popping up with message "unfortunately nfc service had stopped"....had to restore nandroid backup.....hopefully this can be resolved..
Go to root explorer, navigate to /system/app or /system/framework and delete any .odex files you can find in there, but first give me the names of all .odex files in there.
Edit: I think I've found a solution.
Flash Odex-remove_I8190N.zip attached below and report back.

Flashed it without an issue, but for some reason it gets stuck on first page of setup wizard. Every time I click next it crashes and restarts.
Any advice for that?

try follow this sequence :
1-install the rom from cwm
2-install the odex zip file
3-reboot and set up phone
4-reboot recovery flash the cwm setting....
mine got stuck several time in the samsung initial setting.....the select language to be exact....
You don't have to flash Odex-remove anymore because the script now deletes /system/app and /system/framework directories.
Wait I'll update the ROM again

[POSTBOOT]Southern87 Postboot Tweak

I created this file in 2012 for the EVO3D I had as a alternative to init.d scripts.
This is intended to create real performance. Not performance to create crazy benchmark numbers like done on the 3D forums before. For shiggles....I am getting 22k on AnTuTu Bench. This is a rough post as I just spent 4 hrs creating a biology study guide and I am quite tired.
*DISCLAIMER*
I AM NOT LIABLE FOR YOU JACKING THINGS UP
I have a ATT Moto X(XT1058). Rooted, unlocked, on 4.4.2....Still stock recovery. Though this should work on any Moto X.
Keep in mind this should be considered a beta as I tweak it for the Moto X and add things like I had done before.
Version 1.0
Initial Release for Moto X
Cleaned useless code from orginal that doesn't apply to our phone. Cpu 2 & 3 settings IE.
[Stock uses Interactive as the governor.
Changed settings used for the ramp up of the cpu under load
Changed settings to improve VM performance and battery life(supposedly)
Changed scheduler to noop and read ahead to 3072
Changed network settings to help optimize them
Optimized the EXT4 mounts.
Zip align files on boot - Checks them first
Installing this is quite simple...Just need to click a file in windows. That simple basicly.
Everything you need is there in one folder
No need to reboot into recovery.
Instructions
Download the zip file.
Extract the files to a folder.
Run the file Push.bat
Hit any key to keep going.
Let it reboot.
RESTORING
If you decide this is not for you...hey I got your 6.
Run the File named Restore.bat and it will replace the old postboot for you and reboot.
To Do:
Tweak Current settings and add new
Create a flashable zip
Add user customization
Sweet will test it out tommorw! Could we get some further details at exactly what if changes and tweaks? Or is that in the download
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Yeah I will today. Sorry wasn't exactly awake.
The batch file is for those who still have stock recovery but rooted and unlocked or write protection disabled.
If you get a read only error pushing the files to the phone then your kernel isn't insecure. If you get the error just close the command prompt screen.
If you have a stock kernel then you need a app like adbd insecure. Buy or aquire it, lol, and check the option in the settings. It will pop up a window saying patching. Then run the push.bat file.
Custom kernels shouldn't be a problem lol. If so then who made it is stupid.
When I make the flashable zip then you won't need a app and such.

good deal. Maybe 2.7 doesn't play well with the X. I don't think its officially suppported. Everything I try to do gives me the same error while flashing.

Just FYI, 2.7 works well with all the other flashing I had to do.... Eclipse rom as well as some random additions i had to flash via the recovery, all went without an issue. I did see that 2.6.3 is the only one in the Moto X forum though.

I figured.
No versions of TWRP are "officially" supported.
2.7 works without issue for me -- the dev (I believe its dhacker) just didn't bother making a thread for it
ahh I see. I always had HTC devices so wasn''t really a issue.
From what I read KitKat changed some stuff to do with the updater-scripts. I was starting to get pissed with this lol.
Going to add it to the OP in a second.

If you go to system/etc/ and find the post boot it will be like 6 or 7kb in size as the original is 20.
That or use adb to pull it from a phone after you install it.

failed to move zipalign and int.qcom.post.boot.sh to folders.
I didn't change or screen said failed? Read only? Or did you use the flashable zip?
If it's read only error it'd saying. Your kernel isn't unsecure. There is a link to a app that can fix it. It's temporary unless you set it to start at boot.
It allows you to push and pull system files via adb.
Flashing isn't affected by this

Easy Upgrade to Unapproved EMUI 5 Update

Sometimes Huawei releases an update package without approving it. For instance, my device (VIE-L29C636) is getting a B382 update, but the update isn't approved for installation. Here's how to update to those update packages.
NOTE: Using this method, you can also safely upgrade your device even if it is rooted, or has some files system partitions altered. (Of course after finished this process, your device will become unrooted and any alteration to the system partitions mentioned below will revert).
Prerequisites:
Your device is already running EMUI 5 (do not attempt this procedure on EMUI 4 ROM, as the partition layout may differ, and the various firmware (modem, sensor hub, etc.) may not compatible.
Unlocked Bootloader AND FRP.
Latest TWRP from OpenKirin (more on that, including download link, click here).
Huawei Update Extractor, for extracting UPDATE.APP.
imgtool, to convert the sparse android image into an ext4 raw image file.
Method:
Download your preferred update package from Firmware Finder app (Make sure to select the one which has 'FullOTA' designation on it. The package doesn't have to be a 'PV' package). Choose 'update.zip' and the other zip that has your region name on it (for instance, on my C636, look for the zip which has 'spcseas' on it's name). I will refer this 2nd zip as 'regional zip'.
Extract the 'UPDATE.APP' from both zip archive.
Using the Update Extractor on a Windows PC, Extract BOOT, SYSTEM, PRODUCT and VENDOR partitions from UPDATE.APP retrieved from 'update.zip', and extract CUST and VERSION from UPDATE.APP retrieved from your regional zip. You should end up with BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG, PRODUCT.IMG, VENDOR.IMG, CUST.IMG and VERSION.IMG.
Convert PRODUCT.IMG, VENDOR.IMG and VERSION.IMG to an ext4 image using imgtool, for example:
Code:
imgtool PRODUCT.IMG extract
Beware of overwriting the converted image. imgtool is hardcoded to output the converted file to 'extracted/image.img' folder. ALWAYS rename the image.img to something like 'product.ext4.img' after conversion.
Reboot your device to bootloader mode. Flash BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and CUST.IMG via fastboot. For example:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Reboot your device to recovery mode. Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and hold the Vol Up button on your device to enter recovery mode.
Upload the *.ext4.img converted earlier to your device (doesn't matter where, but I recommend using a safe place like '/sdcard', or USB OTG or external micro SD card). you can use 'adb push', MTP or OTG to upload/copy the ext4.img files to your device.
for each *.ext4.img files, flash it to the appropriate named partitions in
Code:
/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/*
. You can use adb shell on your PC, and a command line program called dd on your device. For faster transfer, try to adjusting the block size to 8M. Example commands (execute from adb shell):
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/product.ext4.img bs=8M of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/product
dd if=/sdcard/vendor.ext4.img bs=8M of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/vendor
dd if=/sdcard/version.ext4.img bs=8M of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/version
Exit TWRP (reboot to system), wait for several minutes for the system to build up it's AOT cache, and enjoy your new EMUI 5 with newer security patch, newer kernel and various features and bug fixes .
EDIT: I apologize that IMGTOOL isn't available in binary form for windows. You can try to use Linux virtual machines to run the IMGTOOL. Any modern GNU/Linux distro should be able to run the IMGTOOL.
Be Alert, by follow this so called "Easy Upgrade", you need to full backup of your data. It is because after upgrade, all data will be reset.

In my case (upgrading from VIE-L29C636B370 to B382), it doesn't erase user data at all. And there is no reason it should erase the data.
But as always, backup your data before performing this procedure, in case something goes wrong.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that IMGTOOL is only available as binary in GNU/Linux OS. I think you have to use a VM running a GNU/Linux distro to extract product.img, version.img and/or vendor.img using the IMGTOOL.
@jnakoda
Thank you so much my friend. I was in great trouble as my System Update, File Explorer and Huawei ID apps was deleted from phone due to some experiment. I followed your guide and successfully flashed rom again and boom I got all files back.
Now going to experiment this on B382 firmware
And for those who are curious about this, I successfully used this process for 'meafnaf' region on P9 Plus (VIE-L29)
Once again thanks a lot @jnakoda

imgtool is for converting .img files to ext4 raw image files.
To extract files, you need to use "Huawei Update Extractor" which is mentioned in OP.

I confirm in my case (reflashing VIE-L29C185B380), data was not removed. But its better to backup your data first.

Good Evening i had tried the guide but in my VIE-L09 doesn't work. What can i do? Bootloop infinity

Image works on P9 Plus too. Used it for VIE-L09C432B380.
great post, but as a simple user, i have no idea how to do this steps.
i have a p9 plus c605 b361 and rooted, and i cant update to anything
Every time I want to update to a newer version do I need to repeat the steps?
Or I can directly install new updates from finder without confirmation?

Try it with the Link I give you.
There's no risk. If it works is good, if not, nothing will be changed. (only Recovery, which can be changed after)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125
But with the RIGHT Firmware for your VIE-L29 device (3 zips from Firmware Finder /FullOTA)
After updating Firmware Bootloader is closed and Root is gone.
You have to open again (Factoryreset low-level wipe - if it doesn't do 100% do it manually from settings /advanced settings /backup restore /Factoryreset with wipe of internal storage - this is important! ) and flash TWRP and Root again

Problem with installation TWRP

Hello XdaDevelopers :fingers-crossed:
I have a question..
One year ago I was trying to unlock my Samsung S3.. while doing it I plug-in my another phone Samsung S2 I9100 by mistake.. And installed something via Odin..
Now after 1 year of break I decided to try to recover my Samsung S2 cuz after this installation phone was unable to start.
So I started checking youtube etc, what to do.. ( I'm rookie so be polite )
I have found and downloaded Blazing Kernel v3. I was happy cuz installation completed positive ( I have no idea if I should install something else cuz it might be a problem right here)
Next step was to install TWRP
TWRP 2.8.4.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/repo-kitkat-complement-recovery-t2776594
but its rar.. so I used website http://www.zamzar.com to covnert to tar.
Here you can see my TWRP tar and Odin program http://imgur.com/a/sDTku
as you can see its analyse all the time and nothing happens..
So I decided to create tar with only 1 img file.
Made tar from this https://eu.dl.twrp.me/i9100/twrp-3.1.0-0-i9100.img.html
But same, nothing happens just analyse..
I might not need TWRP or I need something else, I'm newbie so I have no idea what to do overall ;p
Can you guys give me some help? :good::good::good:
Preparing for a clean (with loss of data) installation LineageOS 14.1 + TWRP-3.1.0-0
1. In Odin3_v3.09 install as in the screenshot :
Pit file - I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit.zip
The kernel is - lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar
2. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.
That there were no problems with the internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:
- mounts and storage -> format / storage / sdcard0 -> default
Do a full system cleaning:
- wipe data / factory reset
- mounts and storage -> format / system
3. In the recovery process, install the files:
- TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip
+
- kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
4. Reboot and log in to TWRP.
5. Do not forget:
ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/i9100
+
OpenGApps - http://opengapps.org/
Good luck.

TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip + kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
in twrp_2.8.7.0 install TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip + kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
Restart in the recovery, you should have TWRP-3.1.0-0
