[TUTORIAL] [Noob-Friendly] How to Flash CM12 from Stock ROM

This is my first tutorial so please tell me if I missed anything​ This thread will teach some noobs here who are on stock 4.1.2/4.2.2 and want to flash latest roms like cm12/cm11/Euphoria Os and etc. This tutorial is self-tested by me!
______________________________________________________________________________
1) Firstly, you should unlock the bootloader. To do this go to this thread> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/tutorial-bootloader-unlocking-relocking-t2332900 (after flashing you may get a bootloop so flash stock ftf to recover > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955 http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
2)You should install a recovery > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320 for this you need root > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/rootkit-xperia-l-15-3-1-17-1-click-root-t2591290 Backup your stock rom(optional) and TA(if the phone gets damaged during warranty) and copy rom zip file to sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/4-4-3-aospa-legacy-4-4-beta1-t2571273
3) In recovery Wipe cache/dalvic/art cache> Factory data reset> clean to install a new rom
4) Flash the rom and Gapps for specific rom(may not be included so google (the version of android gapps) and flash it after rom. Edit: Flashing kk is not necessary.
5) Reboot and wait for some time... Instalation takes some time... :good:
___________________________________________________________________________
6)(BONUS) If you want a good recovery like philz/twrp > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/beta-fota-cwm-one-klick-t3068084 just install an app and click install philz. The app that installs a recovery is unique. It won't be overriden by another rom's recovery and u won't have to flash tz boot.img again and again... Thumbs up if you liked my tutorial :good: I do appreciate it! And of course, if you need any help just comment here or add me on facebook.
I'm here to help you guys!​
Edit: There are so many good roms for our XL on xda( I don't compare hard work of devs). Here are some ones that I tried and suggest checking out:

You should add backup of TA before unlocking bootloader (in case if phone will got damaged.. during warranty). Else your tutorial is great

Install the app and click philz if your bootloader is unlocked. BTW it's written in that thread that can only be installed on cm12/cm11 etc. But not on stock. If you want a recovery on stock rom try the step 2)

you should wipe cache and dalvik after flashing
and one question why is KK recommended first?

No need to wipe cache/dalvic

cm11 isnt nessasary...
cm11 overrides system and userdata partition...
cm12 does the same... so there isnt any differenz in flashing cm12 from stock or from cm11....
only thing usefull is to flash latest stock before flashing cm12 ... because other than custom roms ...stock rom will override nearly all partitions.... that means better modem...baseband ...etc... so you should come from last stock

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.

I rooted the phone using the install.bat toolkit. unlocked the bootloader using flashtool and imei on sony. flashed stock rom. then installed recovery and flashed a custom rom.
The wifi stopped working. cant even turn it on. (the date keeps reseting to 1970 on every flash btw)
Tried miui rom, cm12, stryfex roms. same issue..
I tried:
Installing a different version of flashtool
Changing wlan.ko(can't find a prima folder)
Installing a different kernel
Flashtool says error flash aborted on flashing stock ftf

[TESTING][ROM][7.1.2] CM14.1 for janice [TESTERS NEEDED]

02/22 Update: Project temporarily on hold until March due to school.
03/19 Update: I'm back.
03/27 Update: It booted
Hi S Advance Community! I don't own this device but I compiled CM14.1 and I need testers who know how to logcat, use odin to reflash boot image, etc.
THIS BUILD IS TOTALLY UNTESTED (i don't have an s advance)!!! AS A RESULT, RECOVERY MODE MIGHT NOT WORK AFTER FLASHING THIS ROM AND YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH STOCK ROM USING ODIN IF THAT HAPPENS!
I just need info if it boots or not, and logcat/last_kmsg if it doesn't.
Link of rom (for advanced users only)
YOU AGREE TO NOT KILL ME FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPENS TO YOUR PHONE!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120695238 (again, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK)
Kernel Source (for GPL Compliance)
EDIT: Use this guide on how to make a logcat/last_kmsg dump when the ROM doesn't boot if you don't know how to (no need to flash the zip on that thread as this rom is an eng build already).
EDIT #2: ROM doesn't boot so I need the /proc/last_kmsg file obtainable from recovery after a failed boot.

Thanks! Downloading it ?

I'm waiting for feedback from the already downloaded it. If successful, please share some screenshots. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for testing! While the phone is stuck on the samsung logo, can you press the 3 button combo for recovery for 10+ seconds (without pulling the battery before) until the phone boots to recovery and copy /proc/last_kmsg to sdcard using recovery then upload it here? I need to see the kernel logs if it's an init related issue or a library related one.

Yea ! The installation was a success but it didn't boot...Stuck On the splash screen...I will flash it again and will let you know the kernal logs and stuff.....Thanks For your support for Janice

I will send tomorrow because today i haven't had the time, so that the last time I installed this android even holding the 3 keys to enter the recovery mode the cell phone was stopped on the logo of samsung, would have some other way of copying the /proc/last_kmsg ? But tomorrow i will install again and I'll see if i go into recovery, sorry my english if it is bad is that i am from Brazil

On Codina must be enabled SELINUX with boot parameter - 1 and cmdline=selinux.bootmode=permissive to boot up Nougat. For MM this wasn't needed.

Thanks for reporting! No wonder why no one's giving me logs so I'm gonna make an odin flashable boot.img later with working recovery from some rom.

Hi guys! This is the just the odin-flashable tar of the boot image of PolishVodka's CM14.1 as recovery was said to work there.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw4AfK_vJ7JycVBST3pwS18tdms

Can I expect the recovery has been immersed in a new build? Maybe I'll try for it.

Flash the rom in TWRP then before exiting TWRP flash Messi's permissive kernel. It takes about 10 minutes to boot and some features won't work (wifi, hot-spot, camera and VOLTE). Hope this helps.

I've gotten version 2 and 3 to boot on my J7, but the same issues showed in both releases. And yes you have to flash the kernel. Slight differences in the J700F/M/H and our T variant. This is why the Enigma Rom and CM13 (or any other kernel specific build) will never flash and boot without some internal tweaking.

Try this. Take your external SD card and put it in your tablet. Go to Messi's thread for the max kernel in J7T development and download the boot.img not the boot.tar.md5. Finish the download then extract the zip in your external SD card. Put your SD card in your phone, boot into TWRP. Now mount system, cache, art/dalvik, data and internal storage (you may need to format data to access data) now wipe them. Don't wipe your external SD card, so make sure it's not mounted in TWRP. After the wipe mount your external SD, flash the rom, then flash boot.img and tick Boot not recovery before the flash. Reboot and wait. Let me know if it helped man.

If you download the boot.img you won't need Odin. But I prefer flashing tars personally, your choice. It should boot for you bro.

Yeah thanks for everu8amd what else roms have you tried and will I have to always flash that kernel when I try to install a roms on this phone or was that only for the note roms

Wi-Fi fix , you just need to get the files from the stock ROM in system,etc. And delete all the files in note 7 folder and put the ones you copy from the stock ROM in that same folder you just delete the Wi-Fi files out of
And Reboot I reboot to recovery and advance wipe click dalvic and cliche

[FXZ][TWRP] Flashable Stock NPJS25.93-14-4 (March 1 Security) [athene XT1642]

Hi,
I requested my dear friend @Q9Nap to make a TWRP flashable zip of the full NPJS25.93-14-4 stock rom. At first this was meant for personal use only but still we decided to share it here. The zip contains all parts of a full stock ROM EXCEPT for the BOOTLOADER, PARTITION TABLE and STOCK RECOVERY! The files where ONLY tested on a European retail XT1642 dual sim 16GB variant (that's my device). Make sure you have a fastboot version of your stock ROM at hand in case something goes wrong. There are 2 zips: one is a full ROM (again: except for the recovery, bootloader and partition table), the other is the modem only.
One favour in return: please don't mirror these links.
Links:
Full zip
Modem only
Enjoy
(links updated)

will this replace TWRP with stock recovery?

based on this the answer is "yes". Just wanted to make sure that is indeed the case.

Agree. Mega works fine. I always download MEGA app sign up for 50gb free account, and "IMPORT" the file over to my account, and then download from my account to minimize traffic issue with OP's MEGA account. Downloading via MEGA apps is much better than through web browser which is doable if you choose "DESKTOP VERSION" of the mobile web browser.
O.T. How do I root this stock rom. On the original "fastboot" stock rom install of NPJS25-93-14-4, I can "fastboot" install the rom, install ElementalX 1.04 stock type kernel, and SuperSU 2.82 zip in TWRP 3.1.0.0 and works fine for root. This rom however does NOT like ElementalX and won't boot with it. It won't boot with SuperSU 2.82 alone without ElementalX kernel either requiring restoring "boot" partition via TWRP to boot.
I'm on XT1644, Moto G4 Plus, Verizon carrier, 4gb/64gb, 128gb SDXC

I have no idea what can be the reason. I am emptying my phone now and will give it a try.

Hi,
@HueyT: rooting works fine here. Her's what i did in detail. Let me know if it worked for you also.
-flash rom
-boot rom and go through initial setup
-boot to recovery and flash Elemental
-reboot to rom (i dont knwo if this and next step can be avoided)
-reboot to recovery
-Flash Magisk V12
-reboot to rom
-install Magisk Manager 3.1.1
-open Magisk manager
-open a filemanager. it will ask for root.
Writing to /system won't work but it has nothing to do with this rom particular. All debloated stock roms have the same problem.

It's always better to go back to Nougat Stock like this, make sure all sensors, GPS, 2G/3G/4G/WiFi work and then flash custom rom, Gapps, and root.

What are you trying to achieve, are you trying to update your modem or are you trying to flash back to the stock/near stock Motorola ROM?
