Hi,

I am new to flashing, ROMs and Kernels. I am presently using fxp046 on my x10. Can i flash the Bootmanager from CWM recovery? DO i need to flash some other kernel first?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
updated BootManager to v1.4!!!

released BootManager v1.4!!!

updated CWM5 to latest one from FXP

replaced CWM4 with my own modified version of CWM5 (details of changes can be found here)

download links at first post!

please test out the new recovery features and post ur feedback!!!

ENJOY!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
ok, I'm testing the new bootmanager on Z's CM7 & everything seems to work fine, Some issues I've noticed in your modified CWM :

I don't see these options, They're not present at all

Its other features are there & seem to work fine, Great job, Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Its been noted in the unlocked kernel thread, and doom has said he will fix it in a new release

But thanks for reporting it here:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kalack93:
sorry if it has been asked before, but how can I flash custom kernels?

I'm petty sure it wont work if I just place the kernel ftf into /sdcard/kernels.

so what must I do to select a custom kernel?

And sorry if it has been asked before but I couldn't find any answer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
EDIT....Sorry my previous answer was garbage.

You place the kernels of your choice in the appropiate folder, select them in bootmanager then choose boot into custom kernel...

see post number 2 in this thread for detailed instructions.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Not exactly, you first flash ftf through flashtool, then you have to use the kernel packages provided on this thread and put them on SD card, then apply through bootmanager.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eugene1991:
How to restore back to DooM's then? Have to relflash the .ftf or through bootmanager?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
Hey Doom, can I have an example zip for bypass kernels? None of them are available to download. Somehow your server has its config messed up.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
by any chance did u meant this code?

# zdzihu: boot custom kernel
insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
sync
cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img
echo > /proc/splboot/boot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
I mean an example kernel package. I tried ThJap's latest zip for BootManager and it doesn't work. I keep getting this FAILED TO BOOT INTO CUSTOM KERNEL.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
my stupid server is acting up again... i will post mirrors...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Bootmanager need the CWM recovery compatible zip or some special script inside the update.zip?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
Ok, thanks. The thing is, I want to use ThJap's latest zip but its not working. So I thought there must be something wrong, but I can't fix it since I don't have any examples.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
By the way D, will the kernel name change in the About Phone menu once we install a custom kernel via the BootMenu or it remains the same as your kernel's name?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
here u go:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17887562&postcount=3

those example kernels are now uploaded to multiupload mirrors...

the kernel name in About Phone will always show the current active kernel...

they are standard edify CWM4+ update.zips... only change is the link to sh, since bootmanager has busybox in kernel-ramdisk i change the reference of shell to /sbin/sh especially in chargemon file...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] violence1907:
Back to stock means back to doomkernel 05 or 06 right? :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
stock GB kernel from SE
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lzyllp:
about miui version？
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
Aye, thank you very much.

Current active kernel? So that means of we install a kernel from the bootmenu and load it, the kernel name will show the name of the kernel we loaded, yes?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes thats correct
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] violence1907:
But what should i do when i want to go back to doomkernel without flashtool? :)

Greets

V
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
Choose Doomkernel v04-FS or DooMKernel v04b kernel packages from Kernel Selection Menu ??!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
Oh ok, looks like Th's zip isn't working. I'll repair it myself, and see if its working. :D

EDIT: I have another question. If I want to use a stock based kernel, do I need to flash the stock GB kernel first before I can flash said kernel? Right now I'm on your V6 kernel, if that's what blocking me from using Th kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mister-g1:
are there also doomkernel v05 or v06 zips for bootmanger?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] violence1907:
I mean doomkernel for unlocked bl. Im not dumb.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mister-g1:
do i understand that right that bootmanager with a custom kernel also only bypasses this kernel? i thought that it would act like flashtool and load the new kernel directly but as far as i can see, it replaces the boot.img so that the kernel is loaded afterwards and not on bootloader level. in other words: is bootmanager only a nice addon to test different kernels with recovery access?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Frosty666:
In a sense, yes.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
@Doom can u include selecting in ur custom recovery by power button?

My home button is loose now

by selecting options in recovery coz repeatedly getting pressed

Anyone else have same problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dante2086:
I've been getting a couple of force closes ever since installing the kernel. Any idea what I should do.

Sent from my super powered calculator.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
are they related to any specific ROOT access requiring apps?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Ok so I got the splboot module compiled for my kernels...

With it one can have any of my new (v06 for unlocked bootloader) kernels as base and then be able to splboot any (locked bootloader) kernel they want...

But is anyone interested in this to be released?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
Hell yeah I'm interested

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
That's great to hear, been waiting for this. I'm interested on using it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] clixt:
So if I understand this correctly, my x10 will have CWM and Xrec, so it means I could boot WB v7b6 and MIUI anytime I want?? (Dual booting roms)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
Nope, It just simply means dual recovery not dual boot(rom), With dual recovery you can use the advantages of both recoveries like being able to use Edify & also Amend scripts,...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
why this confusion?

my BootManager already has 4 recoveries...

the new splboot module will only work on my v06 kernels provided they are there on the MAIN boot partition... which means u need to first have my v06 kernels flashed using flashtool... then u can use the new splboot module to boot any locked bootloader kernels...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
What? Are you replying to me? I was responding to a guy who asked if having dual recoveries means having dual boot (roms) which I answered with No
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] varshil:
In simple words- we can change kernels without using flashtool once we flash d new splboot!! Is it so?? I m asking..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] varshil:
N do u hv any plans fr working on ics kernels?? Plz say yes!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hi all,

we have been working on a touch based CWM Recovery:

[YOUTUBE]QGc1WL19VNs[/YOUTUBE]

i have already released it for Xperia ARC (ICS DooMKernel)... there will be a phased roll out of this Recovery starting with ARC/ARC S (GB DooMKernel) & Ideos X6 (UC-Kernel) then PLAY (GB DooMKernel) [GSM/CDMA], X10 (BootManager stock & DooMKernel) and finally SGS-SL (UC-Kernel) & HTC Flyer...

regards,

DooMLoRD
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
That's greattt Doom but what about this:

You decided not to release it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Thanks Doom for all ur Great work

I m moving to SGS2

But i will test ur Touch recovery

BTW I would love to see ur kernels on SGS2 forum
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i have it ready but was busy with many things... its just 3 small update.zip packages...

wait i will make them asap...

good for u mate!

no i probably wont be creating kernels for SGS2....

I Am On MIUI Corbato . What Should I Do To Update To 2.0 ? Just Flash the ftf File ? After Flash Will I Have WiFi Connection ? Do I Need To Change Kennel ? After I Change The Kennel Will I Still Have Your Boot Manager ? :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] silveraero:
Lol just notice that you can touch button without touch it, touch any place upper that button will also touch that button :d
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:

the buttons will accept touch response over the complete column... makes navigation easy :)

Would you develop this kernel using fw 2.1.B bb67? As far i try all fw/bb on LB/ULB,the fact is that version its looks more stable. Battery not getting heat, radio n sms work, less random reboot issue (on some phone that have problem on battery temp). Even that fw/bb having a littel lag, but looks more stable than others.

Edit: 2.1.B BB67 can solved people who have 3G/HSDPA random reboot issue. But the most problem is battery temp.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lucaoldb:
I am on feralab v20 Rom, unlocked bl and thkernel 12.4.

I created the folder /sdcard/kernels and put into it one of the kernels provided by Doomlord in the third post or wherever it is placed.

Bootmanager detected the kernel and gave me the option to flash it, but the output was an error and it told me to contact the provider of the Rom. Though, after rebooting, I saw that the WiFi module had been replaced and I had to restore the module for my current kernel.

Please, what further steps do I have to make in order to use boot manager?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lucaoldb:
Well, the answer was inside the question!

I am running a custom kernel, while splbooting is possible with stock kernel only, unless someone compiles that stuff for the custom kernel that I am using.

Sorry for the question.

But this thing could be underlined in the op IMHO:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] veggalamvenu:
kernel packages

Thanks a lot for this usefult.. Can u tell me how to create kernel package so that I can create other kernel packages cause there are many kernels available now for X10 :o
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pisisler:
I had flashed a custom kernel to my phone for a custom rom installation. But since I had no recovery installed, I couldn't flash the ROM; instead I flashed this boot manager and it looks nice. However, now I am going to flash the ROM which had required me to install its custom kernel. Now how to do? Did this bootmanager replace the previous kernel that I flashed? Probably yes; then how can I go on now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JeffreyPiket:
@ pisisler:

What custom kernel for what custom rom and why did you flash the Boot Manager? It's been a long time for me since i flashed this boot Manager but i believe this boot Manager has both x-Recovery and CWM recovery.

I took some time to read the OP and found the following for you:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pisisler:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I already read that part of the explanation but it's not really clear.

The ROM was MUIU based and required an FXP kernel. Although this bootmanager says "it resides on the main kernel of the device"; it will override the FXP kernel so that the newly flashed ROM breaks. I had to reflash the FXP kernel after installing the ROM from this bootmanager (That's also the answer to your question to why I flashed it.)

It's still not much clear but somehow I made it work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abdak55:
phone network not working

Help!!!

I tried this boot manager on my x10i and it worked well with all the recovery's working.

But as I am in France and there is a new network carrier that started on 2012 that I am contracted to.

The phone recognize the network of the three "old" carrier but don't recognize any of the new carrier's network so I can't phone or message at all.

I was using it before without problem, so I am positive that this problem was caused by this tool or maybe the modules I flashed after.

I did a seus repair to go back to stock. But then the phone start I enter the sim code and there is only the wallpaper. this happens only with the "new" carrier's sim. without it it work nice.

So please if anybody have a solution regarding my problem it will be great.

Xperia x10i stock rom, "unlocked" bootloader, if seus did it stock kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
edit: never mind, found it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes when u get use "back to stock" package read the lines which get printed "PLEASE REBOOT DEVICE TO GET BACK TO STOCK KERNEL"

basically after u flash "back to stock" package it does the following:

replaces the chargemon with original chargemon

pushes the wifi modules for stock kernel

removes any boot.img in /system/kernel/ folder

just reboot and u will be back on stock (after flashing the "back to stock" package)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] smoke_weed:
Anyway to have a flashible version for people who have broken USB ports? I think either my USB or port is broken so that's why I'm wondering

yes already figured it out & edited my post, yeah it does print that line on top but under it it says "now booting custom kernel" then gives the error I said & then prints "contact your rom/kernel provider" who must be you I think hehe, sorry for the confusion, it's just a minor unimportant bugs in messages I guess
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DanielFran:
Can it be usefull for x10 mini and minipro devices?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
1) thats odd is the update.zip a amend or edify one?

2) yes that happens when the Superuser.apk file has been replaced

3) that might be cause u were initially setting max clock speeds more than 998Mhz

4) deep sleep works mate! its stock kernel

ok i fixed it using a dirty hack :P

uploaded v2 of "back-to-stock" kernel package... now the device will reboot immediately after flashing the package... ;)

ask ur kernel devs to make a compatible one for ur device...

if u want i can upload the sources...

but right now i am working on adding more features (hint: like the timeout in GRUB/LILO) :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andrewddickey:
The center home key runs xRecovery 0.3GB Ready, also.

Not a problem, just an observation.:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
any other key than the ones specified execute /system/bin/chargemon

so u have xRecovery-0.3 in /system

the xRecovery-0.3 in /system and the one in kernel will have different backgrounds....

the one in kernel will have "U MAD?" background :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CAYCE_VII:
short answer...NO! sorry guy. guess you're SOL.:D

also DooMLoRD, i think this breaks xCharge app...I have paid version, i get this message:

WARNING!

xCharge requires Recovery

Please install Recovery which is
compatible for this device from

http://bit/ly/xda_xperia

xCharge will now exit
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes we will work on updating the market version...

just go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> xCharge -> Clear Data -> Ok

now start app... device detection screen will come up... now select Xperia Arc as device...

by default the recovery is CWM5
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
1. Its the old fashioned one for xrecovery 0.3 (I always forget which is which). I have attached the file. I had it installed on wolfs v6s, with your stock kernel for unlocked bootloaders and freekernel v4.05.2, When I flashed the boot manager it reverted to the green one, and wont flash back. (I did mount system and data in xrecovery).

Its no great shakes, but I do like the transparent blue one. Also, the .zip is from the nexus one thread...dont know if that makes a difference.

2. D'oh, yeah I realised that

3. Yes they were

4. D'oh, Yes I realise that, maybe points 2 and 4 from me were because I needed deep sleep:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the file u have attached is with edify syntax... flash using CWM4 or 5
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BinaryXeroMedia:
DooM

can i please have that backgraound. it is so nice. I really want that for my wallpaper also can you stick this in normal xrecovery instead of the u mad? one as it makes the recovery look better in my opinion. the pic would be really appreciated. Also all works well here. booted fine and booted into recoveries ok havent tested the kernel side of things yet. just about to:D thnaks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
Pity, I think that's the only slight downside of this awesome work, If we could use Doomkernel as the main kernel & also have the ability to use older bypass method with /sdcard/kernels/ kernel packages it will mean perfection

NICE, I love dirty hacks ;)

Thanks a lot for all your great releases & hope you get your phone fixed man
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hi will send those images to u..

i wont replace the bgk image of Z's recovery...

well i can try to compile the splboot module for my kernel too... will need testers though...

seems i have actually bricked my X10... bootloader is damaged... i have contacted many devs for idea on wht can be done...

lets see... hope i can get a working device...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Z3US911:
haha...amazing tool...:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Done, it didnt work in cmw4 or 5.

Although I am wondering why it worked on old xrecovery before i flashed boot .

xperia reboot options is playing up again. I have cleared data and reset the device to arc. Last night this let me boot into recovery but this morning it just reboots the device...I will have another play and let you know
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] riginal:
Count me in for testing, Thanks

so you're the first I guess to actually brick an X10? Congrats. ;)

Well from the look of your problem I think the_laser is one of the guys who can help you

Good luck

Sorry to hear your x10i is now a brick, have you tried to.....Lol, who am i kidding, if you cant fix it, who can:)

Rebooting into recovery or boot manager doesnt seem to work when charging, it goes to offline charging images then just reboots if you press the power switch, no matter what buttons I press during the boot cycle.

Also, xperia reboot still just rebooting device when choosing xperia arc and reboot into recovery.

Forgive my ignorance but why are people asking for the old bypass method to be implemented in DoomKernel .

The point of the old method was to bypass main Kernel and load a custom one.

Why would you want to bypass Dooms custom kernel to load another custom Kernel ??
