Does one need to install a ROM after installing this? I presume so, but want to make sure.

Nope, you don't have to

The kernel boot loops if you plug the power in while the phone is off. Keeps reaching the Sony logo then restarts

don't know, haven't tried, but fastboot is really simple and fast, and you'll have to set it up to unlock bootloader anyway.
-fastboot devices
your phone is there
-fastboot flash boot .. or what you need
-fastboot reboot
and you'll have to use it only few times, after you install cm10 first time, back to normal routine

I don't know about rom manager as I don't really use it. Probably because it was the last known recovery..
Reboot to recovery and have a look..

Thanks for quick reply. It looks that it is there (in fact, I never seen stock recovery before, but now it looks different like cwm), but I can access it only via RomManger... Is there other way how to boot in stock recovery? I can boot in download mode (menu + volume down + power), but in this mode i can't do anything ... :/

Good. Yeah, its different, and rommanager isn't compatible with stock recovery. You won't be able to flash anything but samsung-signed updates.

Hehe, if I set reboot to recovery in RomManger after updating from cwm back to stock recovery, it reboot me in to Stock recovery
Btw, will flashing that 2MB file from "[HOW-TO] Enable Three Button Combo [RECOVERY]" increase binary counter? I know about TriangleAway, but for sure...
And one more question please. My story...
- I flashed pre-rooted 4.1.1 fw via odin
- than i installed RomManger and via it I install CWM
- than become 4.1.2 fw so I flashed this pre-rooted fw via odin - everything was good, phones restart after flash but boot in CWM??? Everything works good, but I was thinking, that with new fw the CWM will gone?!?
Trying to understand how android works (this is my first android phone, before that i had only symbian devices), i read many topic about s iii mini and it looks, that this phone in "unusual" android phone

Yeah, it will let you reboot to recovery but that's all. No flashing, no backups or anything. Kinda sad to install an app just to reboot :silly:
You probably have to use triangle away after that file even though the files are taken out of service-firmware, but it only takes a minute.
These firmwares doesn't normally include recovery..don't know why. Thats what I'm used to from other models, but not for this one.

How to keep TWRP while running on stock?

Coming from Nexus, I'm quite annoyed about how Sony phones work. I'm sick of booting to fastboot and flash a hell loads of stuff everytime I want to do something.
Has anyone made a flash zip that contains TWRP and stock kernel together that I missed? Or is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm kind of confused. There is only one download link in the thread, without mentioning any recovery. Would flashing this overwrite the recovery the way same the stock kernel zip file does? Or is there already a recovery inside?
In any case, DoomKernel is kind of still in beta and not yet seems to be stable, so I would avoid it if I could. But I would give it a try.

You are joing right?
Its rock solid stable and has been working on may devices for a long time. I have been running it since its release with no problems.
Both twrp and cmw recovery are in the kernel so you get to choose which recovery you want to boot into. Press volume up on the purple LED and vibration to go into one recovery and volume down to get into the other recovery.
All you need to do is make sure your bootloader is unlocked and flash the zip in whichever recovery you currently have.

[Q] Xperia Z1 is recognized as "togari", Z Ultra

As the title suggests, I rooted my phone, unlocked BL and was about to flash CM for Honami, which is Z1, but the flashing of the ROM was stopped because it recognizes my device, a Z1, as a "togari", a Z Ultra. I find this quite odd as I have practically no idea why it does that.
I also tried flashing "togari" CM ROM, but that also fails.
Any fixes for this?

if you are sure that you have an z1... then just remove the device check in the updater script (within the zip...) it is in the beginning... cant really remember how it looks but ... search google perhaps.. then it will flash weird enough ... my s also identifies as an sl... but that is from the build prop

Haha, yes. I google for it and tried to simply delete the device check in update-script, but it didn't work for me. I believe the issue is in my recovery, which is not a 4.4 kitkat recovery. The CWM-recovery I have at the moment is 6.0.3.6 and I believe that is the reason for my issues. I have had no luck trying to find a 4.4 kitkat recovery... any tips here?

I tried this recovery too, without any luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49966299
To begin with I got Status 7 error, which is now gone.. I found a tutorial to flash SlimRom for Z1, which is android 4.4.2: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-4-4-2-kitkat-sony-xperia-z1-available-via-slimkat-rom-1432702
However, I was only able to make emergency calls, no cellular at all. I flashed CM through the same method and everything I tried worked, except cellular. Thus, I had to wipe it and install stock Sony firmware.
After that I tried flashing CM the "normal" way through recovery and everything installed as usual, but when I push reboot to reboot the system, the phone simply shuts off. Even if I press the powerbutton to turn it on, it only vibrates and nothing else happens. Again, I flashed stock firmware to be able to use the phone again...
I am very confused about this, because it does not give any errors. It simply does not work :l

just copied from the CM11 dev fora...
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot
for update just flash rom zip from recovery
Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them.

Flashed SOKP with CWM, now recovery is gone

Hey guys,
strange thing happened to me yesterday.
After I got fed up with Paranoid, I decided to pick one of the other AOKP derivatives.
Although I had initial problems with mounting sdcard1, I somehow managed to flash from there
and do have SOKP with android 4.4.4 running on my honami
the thing is, when I want to access recovery through vol+ or vol-, my phone freezes on boot,
otherwise everything is working fine.
Unfortunately I need to flash GAPPS and I need to find some kind of workaround...
What I have tried is flashing TWRP and Z1DualRecovery via fastboot with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

What is SOKP? Any link you can give us?
Did the kernel for that ROM include a recovery?
TWRP cannot be installed via fastboot on xperia devices. Z1dualrecovery kernel is for stock based roms only.
Maybe you should flash a FTF and start again.

you have unlocked bootloader, let flash pimp kernel to have working recovery, so you can reflash the rom to check it.

SOKP is Sonic Open Kang, a newer AOKP derivate.
It is one of the top posts in Android Development Forum.
Thought you heard of it.
Ok thanks will try it with pimped kernel. Hope it works with AOKP.

I have seen it now, try flashing and wiping again

Hey, thanks for the fast response guys.
So I've just flashed Pimped Kernel to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/xperia-z1-t2834169
I am still getting stuck on boot when I'm trying to get into recovery.
Neither vol+ not vol- works, I hit it when the purple light flashes and the orange one comes up and stays like forever.
So unfortunately I cannot flash nor wipe.
And Android without GAPPS kinda sucks... especially when they have the new material design...
EDIT: And I don't want to stay on pimped kernel cuz it somehow causes battery drain for me...
Only possibility would be to somehow install the zip via ADB/Fastboot... does that work somehow?

Just keep pressing it throughout the boot sequence, don't forget you have to press, let go, press, let go etc..... Its not just one long press

Just tried that out, in both directions.
Same result - no success.
Really unusual since it was always a long press and I should also be getting into the recovery
by rebooting into recovery from inside the ROM.
What other possibilities are there to get gapps on your phone?

push them with adb
but that's not the point
have you booted into system and check to see if quick boot is enabled in developer options - root

I dont seem to have that option,
all I have is the point "Update CM Recovery when installing system updates"

@gregbradley how do I push and flash those via ADB?

Check in the gapps zip where each file should be installed (Proabably all to system/app) and the associated permissions (Should be 0755 or 0644, I don't have time to check just now)
Then put all the files in the same folder where you have adb installed.
then
Code:
adb push "[I]name of file here[/I]" system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
adb chmod 0755 system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
Replace the name of the file with the extension where I have said, change the "0755" to "0644" if that's what it says in the updater script, and if the apks should be installed somewhere else (for example syste/priv-app) change the commands to that.
This method would take you a long time, proabably best to just push the play store and then download the google apps you want, or better still, fix your recovery

Ok guys, many many thanks for your help.
I solved the problem and got my recovery back.
I flashed PhilZ and I like it. Way better than regular CWM.
You can close the thread now.
