Public Service: DO NOT try to flash BOOT.IMG from FXP CM12 tianchi to your D5306

[fbarcenas]

I know we are used to hearing that anything for a D5303 will work on a D5306. It is not so in this case.
Just a public service for anyone with a D5306 thinking you can use the BOOT.IMG in the FXP CM12 tianchi builds; DON'T!
The driver for the display on the D5303 is different and loading the recovery will just give you a BLANK SCREEN. Which means you won't even be able to see what you are doing to flash the ROM.

In my efforts to use Emma to flash the new recovery partition (which I now know is not available for the T2 ) I have flashed various models FTF files on my T2.

My T2 is the D5316.
It successfully ran the D5303 and the D5306 stock firmware's without issue.
I understand that this is a stock ROM and not CM12
I have compiled a stock kernel from sony copyleft sources and the source covers all variants of the T2.
The board level is as specific as it gets and yukon_Tianchi_defconfg covers all models.

Not having looked, I would have to guess that the Sony AOSP source are board level also.

I am not a developer.
I am only sharing my specific experience with stock firmwares.
