i have already rooted my device with the pre rooted image

will there be an issue if i flash ur kernel as it has autorooting with superuser(have superSU currently)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
no it's a stock kernel, it's the same kernel as official ICS, only the ramdisk is different (the clue is in the title :p)

no issue, you may have to reinstall supersu (or re set supersu as the default superuser app if that's what you prefer)

or.. you could just install supersu yourself... ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yaabaa1986:
same here on ics4

What's the error mean? I just got it backing up

I'll look on that and the size issue during the week end :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zanndoth:
got the same error, but I can still restore them without any issue though
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gtrab:
Congrats!!

Amazing work

Suggestion:

Put the Kernel version in the OP (3.0.8)

This will avoid a lot of noobish confussion and Qs
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Can I just ask. As a kernel is part of a rom, if I flash a new rom using recovery to do the flash, will i lose this kernel and therefore lose recovery too? And root?

Sent from my Xperia S on which The Kernel has been installed but he bought no chicken.....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KeiranFTW:
Only if you flash a ROM that changes the kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:

So if i flashed say the german ics rom over my swiss one it'd replace the kernel and I'd have to unlock bootloader, root, and install this kernel again?

Really? Mine has never been better
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yaabaa1986:
Batt life is not funny
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
If you're doing it via flashtool you can check the exclude kernel box and you won't have to re-flash the kernel. If you don't, then yes you have to re-flash this kernel ;)

Unless you relocked your bootloader (which I doubt) then no, once done it's done for life :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
New version released :)

New recovery built from latest CM9 sources

Fixed generation of md5sum with nandroid

Increased font size in CWM

Boot partition backup and restore

New adbd built from CM9 sources (fixed an issue with hardcoded sh path in /system)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
sorry Arakmar , none of the menu options work in v5, just a black screen with the cwm logo on it :eek:

it's normal or something wrong ?

EDIT : seems it's normal ! like other devices , don't know why !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
Seems like you've installed a deodex apk and not deleted the odex-file. If you have updated to a deodexed SystemUI.apk = delete SystemUI.odex in /system/app.

I comes after you wipe dalvik cache.

Or maybe not, don't remember how I removed it.. :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:

Need fastboot driver for win8!!!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qsq631886:
The same,waiting for solution
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] umarian:
For MTP you can try the next instructions:

put your phone in usb debugging mode and conect an computer

enter in ADB and type:

"adb root

adb shell setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp

reboot"

He should work for any kernel who supports init scipts and dont forget to make a backup if something its wrong(and sorry for my bad english)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
i flash ics6 and mtp is working on my XPS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
MTP fixed in build 7 (uploaded in the train :D )

It was a mistake in default.prop, sorry for that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] VicXxX:
Ok n00by question, but i am on Build 4 atm. Is there any way to flash the latest kernel without wiping data or losing info?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
You'll not lose anything by flashing a new kernel :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordjan1986:
the same as for windows 7, also dont use usb 3.0..but 2.0...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
question XD

we are all waiting for sony to release the kernel source... but this is the extracted kernel no? and you guys are modding it... or do I not understand it?:laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
Unlike other devices the "S" boot image consists of three parts, the kernel itself, ramdisk and resource power manager . The boot image can be split into these three parts, but only the ramdisk can be successfully modifed. The ramdisk contains the initial information/instructions to boot the phone, and (of course) the recovery system.

So calling the boot image a kernel is a little confusing, it has the kernel in it, and more besides..

For actual kernel changes (overclock, undervolt, extra modules, etc) the source code is required. (Don't ask me about the RPM, I know nothing about it ;))

I hope this helps..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
So how can I flash the latest kernel in recovery? If so, how?

Sent from my Xperia S on which The Kernel has been installed but he bought no chicken.....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
As SONY devices don't have a separate recovery partition you don't* - you use fastboot.

* However, DooMLoRD has been using a nice little script in his recent GB kernels to flash it in recovery.

So unless it has been designed by the dev to do so (and it will say so in their post), you don't do it in recovery :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Ah ok, i currently have v4 installed you see, so just do it the same then. Lol

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
in xperia 2012 devices, when you unlock bootloader, the the bootpartition shows up in vold so you can flash it from recovery ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
thanks champ, nice bit of info, but it would have to be scripted, iirc DooM's dd's the image to the partition (i'll have to look), maybe something to consider with this.. :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yaabaa1986:
How?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
no he doesn't use dd

he just overwrites the boot partition using extract_package_file command

but yes using dd is pretty much the same thing and my script uses dd only.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
Build 8 is here ! (UMS fixed in recovery)

I uploaded two versions, a fastboot flashable one and an update.zip (from CWM).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
i really should study this more ;) thanks for sharing (yet again!)

installed 8 from zip works perfectly, UMS working too, excellent work my friend! :highfive:

edit: you get "E:Unable to write ums lunfile" when you try to unmount in recovery, it remains mounted
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
Yes, you had to umount from your computer before umounting from the phone :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tigrer:
Great work:-)

It is any hope to run msc mass storage mode not only in recovery? Like DooMLords script and later app for 2.3.7

Hmm, i cant go back in the new CWM menus

EDIT: ok, noob fail..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/enable
echo "mass_storage,adb" > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15" > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/enable

umount.sh :

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/enable
echo "mtp,adb" > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/enable

DoomLord just need to update path in his app and it'll be fine :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ewaldtx:
I don't know if I'm a totally noob or I don't know how to read, but is it not possible to reboot into recovery with this kernel?

I'm on stock ICS (Nordic) using this kernel (v.8). Everything is working like a charm but if I try to boot into recovery the phone just reboots like normal.

Could someone please give my a hint. I hate to have to use my laptop every time I want to make a nandroid backup or a mod.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
How do you reboot in recovery ?

Right now, there are only 2 way to do that :

- Create a file called boot in /cache/recovery

- Press any key when the led is blue on the sony logo

"adb reboot recovery" and RomManager doesn't work to reboot into recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
Hum, I didn't manage to reproduce this bug, all my su binaries and Superuser are still ok after flashing from CWM. I really don't know how it can affect files from the system partition.

Did you have the file /system/autorooted before flashing the kernel ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] noob.fl:
with the builds, further then ics4 i cant save the auto memory manager options i set with the Rom toolbox :confused:

solved... i just reinstall the Romtoolbox after flashing kernel... now it works :)

Hey,

DooMLoRD is very busy with studies at the moment but I am sure if he has any spare time he will work on a kernel for ICS, but you have to understand at the moment he isn't really getting much sleep so for now you will have to be patient.

Nope, you just lose cwm only
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PandaVoyageur:
The auto-rooting helped a lot after flashing my ICS FTF, but I usually run SuperSU now (instead of Superuser installed by auto-rooting).

Right now, if I remove the Superuser.apk, it will reappear on reboot, is it possible to modify the autoroot test to handle SuperSU? (like only checking su itself, or something like that).

Not a big problem though, it just shows two su apps in my apps list. Apart from that, recovery and kernel run fine, thanks for providing it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ssj_jaypee:
I'm not very familiar with ROMs.

What is the purpose of using this build if it's very similar to the original Sony release?

Is there a performance and stability improvement?

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] b3rx:
Access to Recovery allows devs to flash their own roms. Actually this is just a building block for devs in creating more roms. And in recovery you can actually mount your internal storage as USB Device not just MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ranrick:
now that we have a pretty stable kernel, what about adding some modules?

I suggest to add the TUN/TAP module, so I can finally test onavo.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
I will fix that soon ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
This is repacked, not recompiled. Adding modules will be difficult until Sony releases kernel sources.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
Impossible rather than difficult ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
The module needs to be compiled with exactly the same kernel version, the same arch and correct exported symbols. Not impossible but VERY difficult :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
You can do that by editing the vermagic to match and hopefully it will work, but then you never know when you're missing a symbol somewhere.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arakmar:
You can't reboot into recovery with RomManager or the "reboot recovery" command. It's due to a bootloader limitation. It doesn't pass the parameter to the kernel.

So 2 way to reboot to CWM, create a /cache/recovery/boot or press a key when the led is blue during the kernel loading (sony logo)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
When putting an update to your post which is the last one, just EDIT your previous post with an update message. No need to add up unnecessary responses. Regarding your problem, I had this same thing when I was using GB version of Doomkernel and thought was a device problem and almost took it to the service center and decided to hold with it. For me though, it happened while the app installation was going on and also I was moving apps to internal storage. Solution for now for you would to either revert to stock kernel or do nothing while app updates or installations are going on. You might also go and ahead and give a go to the KA SSpeed kernel. Might solve the problem for you. Though I have no idea what the root issue here is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I just renamed the files to stop confusion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
Does that not ruin the MD5 checksum resulting in backups that can't be restored? Just wondering.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Tbh I've not actually tried restoring, but it see's the files ok to say yes to
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
I wouldn't be so sure, the files will be there but when it generates the MD5 to verify the integrity of the backup then any changes to file or directory names may cause a mismatch.

Should be easy enough for you to test though.
