Xperia M Dual(c2004 ) Cyanogen Mod 11 Custom Rom

If you are one of those users those who brought sony smart phone for the sake of its brand and custom rom development and later on found that there is no proper method for a particular model specially i am talking about this model sony xperia m dual c2004 which has no thread in xda forum or even it does not have any thing specially written or shown for this device .


in this tutorial i will tell you guys how to root sony M Dual c2004 running android 4.3 jelly bean and then unlock boot loader and at last how to flash cyanogen mod 11.

As i have already explained in my previous post how to root sony m dual  c2004  so refer to it.

Second step is to unlock boot loader of sony m dual so follow this link of officially unlocking the boot loader .

next is installing twrp recovery as cyanogen mod only supports twrp officially for this phone model.

1. Your phone must be rooted and boot loader should be unlocked .
2. download twrp.img and rename it to  boot,img.
 3. Now open place where flash tool has been installed and then open firmware folder then paste the recovery(boot.img) file there.
 4. Now open flash tool and click on lightening icon then select via fastboot mode then select flash kernal and select the boot.img file.
5. Switch off your phone then click and hold vol up button and then insert the usb cable when prompted by computer while holding the vol up button.
6. When blue led glows leave the button recovery will be flashed.
Thats it.




Now here comes the easiest part.
Switch off the phone then switch it on when sony logo shows up and pink led glows click vol up button you will be booted in to recovery mode.

2. Now boot in to recovery mode and do a clean swipe .... Format every thing ...
Now click on install and select the cm11.zip file your firmware will be flashed just reboot after it and you will be running cm 11 in your phone  and will be getting updates frequently as it is the dev version......
You can have full benifits of cm11 as it supports obb on sd and many more features which i will explain later on and also update the link for cm 11 file
