[Q] "This is yuga" issue

pedromsouza · Apr 29, 2014

After I installed TWRP recovery, when I try to flash a new rom the installer says that the rom is not compatible, because it's built for another device. Something like "this is yuga, this rom is compatible with - the xperia zl name -". Do you know how to fix it?

It is. It looks like after installing the recovery the device identify itself as yuga, causing the problem. I don't know if I have to flash another boot or recovery or kernel to fix this.

Do you know if it will harm the stock rom? The recovery I installed was downloaded from ZL's forum.

Not sure. If this was the "Dual recovery" installation, go download the zl version and re-flash...

Bro. You don't need any recovery. Just flash boot.img from the zip using fastboot. You'll have a recovery installed

fastboot will only work for unlocked bootloader

However rom won't work unless you flash cm based kernel so you need to unlock boot loader anyways

I flashed zip [TWRP][PhilZ Touch][CWM] XZDualRecovery 2.7.1XX RC and got the same error when I tried to install Paranoid Android rom (which is based on CM, right?). "this rom is for odin, this device is yuga".

Bro you need to flash its kernel in order to use that rom. Flash the kernel, go to recovery wipe everything flash rom, flash gapps, reboot system

Download pa rom zip. You can find it inside the zip. Just extract a file called boot.img. And flash using fastboot command

It worked! Thank you so much... now I understand that to install a rom, first I need to flash a specific boot to that rom.

Not always. If you are using stock based rom you just need stock kernel. However to use cm based roms you'll need this respective kernel.
