So, now I successfully updated to build36 via OTA. Thanks again!

But build36 does not contain a recovery! You can see that by checking the size of the boot.img. It's only 8 MB instead of 11 MB. What I did was flashing boot.img of build35, then entered recovery and flashed latest lightning kernel. Now everything's smooth again...

Another thing: Superhanss released PA with newest .283 blobs (same as latest lightning kernel has). Maybe you could contact him again about that one?!

Anyway, you are one great help for all Xperia users here on XDA. Keep up your fantastic work!
thanks for reporting

how the heck the recovery is not in its almost impossible!!! u sure?? i didn't have any errors...
server still ****ed up a bit i guess will fix that tomorrow and will launch new builds

and i guess last time superhans did not answered me...i won't bother him and btw .230 blobs works perfect, i can "wait" that cm merge it officially...

Yes, I'm sure. But not a big deal because my workaround did the trick for me. Wish you all the best with your server!

About the blobs: Was just a suggestion but we can all easily wait for official CM merges because, as you said, everything's working perfectly...

For me build 36 and with built in kernel 8 mb works normally.
P.S. Generally that I was mistaken - the camera takes off with an error. And recovery disappeared. Installed as a result a kernel of a lightning version 6.
And in the camera all the same an error - if to launch from the button. If from a label errors are not present. At start from the button the error jumps out, but the camera continues to work. On 35 build such was not. Cleaning of the data of the camera did not help.

Already I try.

really weird, i don't understand at all; if this is not present in CM11 then its Carbon sources issue.
I will wait 2/3 nightlies build from them before to make another one; it's really weird.

Hello,


Unable to flash build 37 using OTA. Download fine, but stuck on black screen after reboot. Recovery never comes up.
Didn't notice any problems with camera in 36.


Let me know where to get kernel with recovery, from 35?


Thank you

That's because 36 doesn't have a recovery either.
Download 35 from HubDroid, extract and flash boot.img via fastboot. Than enter recovery, flash 37 and lightning kernel v6 . Reboot and enjoy!
