Thanks for support our Xperia ZL.:good:

Mto rápido, duração boa de bateria. Único bug que notei até o momento é que. Quando uso o modo de pin padrão, mesmo tirando a opção de mostrar senha, ele ainda mostra o risco feito pela sequência escolhida. O restante está mto bom. Parabéns.

Help! I installed this on a ZL (6506) and all seemed fine, then realized I had neglected to install SuperSU. I tried booting into recovery and could not -- it gives an error for a fraction of a second, something about an error on F2FS so it appears to be a file system format issue, as though TWRP doesn't support it? I cleared all partitions except micro SD when I installed it (Because I was having an issue that could have been malware).

So I can't get root because I can't get into recovery? And without recovery I can't install SuperSU? And I can't get another ROM without recovery (at least without going back to flash mode which I barely remember how).

ANy ideas how to get back into recovery, or is it hosed?

10 days. Still fast!
Just two bugs on camera:
1. Physical button is not responding
2. Screen freeze (on last photo) after taking one, can take more photos (using on screen button) but only can see the last photo taked.
Installed Open camera form playstore and it works fine.

OK, I got this back using FastBoot to flash TWRP again, though then it would only boot TWRP; reinstalled this rom with SuperSU this time, and all worked well, though later when I tried going back to Recovery it failed again with the F2FS error (and this time I was sure I had the current TWRP, at least I flashed the zip of the current one).

Is some system or other reformat needed to change to F2FS before using this?

 

[DenMalen]

The ROM IS fast (unlike RR ).
I also experience issues mentioned by the others above:

• Camera button does not work
• An error when you try to start recovery -- you have to flash boot again to get to it.

 

[MindfreakBS]

Working great except for two things: It'd be nice to have recovery included in the ROM AND more importantly my microphone(s) don't seem to be working. I'll try reflashing.

OP, Would you be so kind and update the rom with the fixes for the reported issues? Thanks. :victory:
