command line

that command line doesn't work for me

it always says ls is not recognized as an blah blah blah.

what do i do??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] apemonk:
If I'm not mistaken, that's and adb command.

You need to actually type:

adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ambangis:
root

it only says device not found.

where do i exactly put the files from the su zip?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] apemonk:
Have you turned on debuggin mode on your phone?

Remember you don't have to turn off your phone to do adb command.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ambangis:
okay i'll try that. do i put the files from the su zip in the phone??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] apemonk:
Extract the zip file. Copy su and Superuser.apk to the same folder as fastboot.exe.

Then follow the command in the first post to move the file and install Superuser.apk.

You need to check the box at Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ambangis:
thanks for the quick reply i'll try it now.

Allso tried without command line parameters:

fastboot -b 0 boot your_kernel_pack.elf

still I getting only black screen with red notification led... do you have an idea how I can boot kernel without installing? I am new in "Sony world" because I had HTC mobile phone so this Sony things is new to me :) Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] khesanh:
i just extracted the kernel from the official Sony update that i graped from the cache folder and converted that file via flashtool to a working ftf file, followed by extracting the kernel and ramdisk and modified the default.prop file to ro.secure=0, afterwards i repacked the the extracted zimage and ramdisk to a working kernel this file is attached to this post "Kernel 6.0.B.184 ro.secure=0.elf". the kernel is complete stock nothing included. just flash it via fastboot with: (unlocked Bootloader needed, see sonys pages for this also for usb driver installation)

How recovery working in xperia, which button I need to press to get into recovery?

Is here any development thread for xperia go? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
There is no dev thread but i could rename it to [DEV]...... if you like :D i also was able to compile the ics kernel for the upcoming sony ics update since kernel source is already available for download....

SSHTunnel

Hello, might it be that SSHTunnel is not supported?

To me it's not working, maybe because it needs to edit IPTABLES and so it could be implemented as already done for Droidwall...

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WalangAlam:
Yes installing driver is PITA. I'm having trouble installing drivers for fastboot loader in windows 7 x86. My go won't stay in fastboot. S1 Fastboot device won't stay on device manager so I can't update the driver. When led turns violet to red, S1 Fastboot device in device manager disappears.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WalangAlam:
Done. Rooted. Thanks to the op.

1st - Krachlatte, thanks so much for this post. (button has been clicked ;)

2nd - Krachlatte: The "Advance" has just been released last week in the USA. It's model ST27a rather than the ST27i. As far as I can tell the only difference is the HSDPA bands. Would your .184 kernal cause any problems?

3rd - I've seen mention of folks having problems with the GPS. Can this be confirmed or denied? Is everyone having troubles or is it just one or two people?

4th -

Everyone

go out & request a specific forum for the Advance/GO: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354

GPS seems to be working just fine here, got a fix pretty fast - but I have only tested it a few times, not used it extensively.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Hi,

i do not have any problems with GPS its just awesome, it is even more awesome, because of the barometric sensor in this phone.

a separated thread for Advance g would be nice.

Just a recommendation when flashing kernels, flashing FTF´s and so on, it is good to have the gps have a GPS fix for a while to function properly, i have done this with every android device that i possessed so far, or lets say i had my hands on :)

i recommend using this tool. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

i always have 14 Sats in just 5 seconds, gps fix at open sky, no trees or buildings 10-20max.

cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinkerhell69:
Thanks krachlatte (and for the answered PM)!

I've started in on this but have run into a problem. I unlocked my BL and flashed the unlocked stock kernel with no trouble. The problem comes in with trying to work with ADB. I have it installed with the SDK and can run it successfully in the command prompt but my phone isn't recognized. I've set the phone to debug mode and when I then plug up the USB to the pc I get the prompt for new hardware driver (semc hsusb device not found) which I don't have & can't find.

I found other comments which said that installing PC Companion would take care of this, however when I DL & install Companion it can't find which phone I have (because I've unlocked it I'm guessing??).

1) is my ADB device not found problem because of the missing driver?

2) anyone have a link for where I can get the driver I need to try & get around this?

Thanks all for any help!

Found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570556 for the Xperia S for the driver issue and will try it and see if that will work go the Advance.

Update (GOT IT!! - I honestly am not sure what I did or I'd note it. I fiddled with PC companion a bit, tried the above solution and something worked. I'm happily deleting bloatware I type. Thanks SOOOO much Krachlatte. You sir rock!)

ADB connection problem workaround

I had the same issue with adb connection not working (device not found), spent half of the day trying different adb drivers but nothing worked.

Then, I switched to my primary OS, Ubuntu, installed the repos listed at "webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html" (sorry, am not allowed to post links yet) and voilà, everything worked like a charm. Need root for flashing with fastboot, but now I have a rooted phone with a custom kernel :)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Once again, I regret ever been using Windows. For those, who aren't so lucky, the Ubuntu Live CD should work too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinkerhell69:
Back again.

Looks like I do have a slight problem with the GPS using the last version of the Kernel. If I turn on the GPS with a widget tool or with Settings>Location & Security> check both "Use Wireless Networks" and/or "Use GPS Satellites" I don't get the normal animated icon in the notification bar. If I use an app ("GPS Status" or "Zombies, Run!") the gps functions normally with the icon doing its thing.

This isn't a big issue as the only thing I use GPS for right now is the Zombies Run (that's the whole reason I got this phone as a matter of fact) but if you have the change & can resolve that it would be awesome.

Thanks,

Tink
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chkstate:
I don't know if this is related to your kernel or to Android itself, because I'm quite new to it, but I'm losing su each time after disabling USB Debug Mode. Caling su in this case results in a su - do nothing - loop in shell, in apps Superuser popup doesn't show up, apps are waiting and waiting for it. I've checked the file permissions but they seem alright

-rwsr-sr-x root root 380532 2008-02-29 02:33 su

It is strange that chmodding su to 06755 with adb shell once again, solves the problem although the file permissions do not seem to change. Reinstalling Superuser does not help here. This behaviour is 100% reproducible on my device.

Another bug I encountered is that mobile Wifi Hotspot does not work. Everytime I enable it, it disables Wifi but says that hotspot is on (although it is not due to disabled wifi), enabling Wifi disables the Hotspot and vice versa.

I'm using the 5.1 Kernel, with stock 6.0.B.3.184 ROM...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Hi, i will try to reproduce it, for the hotspot i did not test its functionality yet, i will try that too.

i already have an ics boot.img, but when i install the ftf files that i got from yordi8 i have no properly working wifi, neither with stock kernel, so i need to wait for the officl german ICS sony upgrade :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
i cannot reproduce your usb debugging issue sorry..... letz look into the hotspot thing, do you know if this has worked with stock ??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] teocomi:
Sorry guys, but I have a really stupid question: how can I update to ICS?

Since I flashed this kernel I guess official OS updates are not supported, right? Is it then the only solution to install a ICS ROM (in this way losing all apps and data)? Or, am I completely out of track??

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chkstate:
Unfortunately I did not check the hotspot funcion before flashing, but the fact that you cannot reproduce my other bug, makes me hope that wiping everything and starting over again from the beginning might not be completely useless ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] teocomi:
Nobody has an answer to my stupid question? Sorry, I've been googling but I still don't understand the relation kernel-firmware..!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
When this happens, do you see "app_process" entries when calling "top -n 1" (or "top -n 1 | busybox grep app_process" if you have busybox installed)?

That's what I have seen on 2.3.7 with KK5.1 kernel. I didn't connect it at the time with USB debug mode, I only noticed that sometimes, RAM continuously decreased with every su call from an application, and it turned out that an "app_process" process was started every time su was called. Interestingly, calling su directly from the shell was fine.

I tried a lot of things, including different su versions, switching from Superuser to SuperSU and back, but couldn't solve the problem. I have now switched to ICS and thankfully, the problem has disappeared.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Just wait until your official update to ics is ready,

reflash your old kernel, update through Sony PC comp ( you won't lose your data, (maybe some app that aren't compatible)

then reflash custom kernel

although i'm not sure wich one to flash for ics

hope this helps

here's what i did:

updated officialy

I rooted my phone via flashtool

unlocked bootloader

flashed CWM

done..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinkerhell69:
I'm still stuck with this problem too chkstate. If I fiddle with the USB Debug mode I lose root for all intents & purposes. I can re-install the kernal again & everything seem fine but this is super annoying. If anyone comes up with a viable solution PLEASE post it!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
Do you have a GO with ICS and CWM? If so, where did you get the flashable CWM? Have I overlooked a thread?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

What's the difference to the stock kernel? Sorry if I've overlooked any info you may have given.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Yes cwm is inlucded and i compiled it myself from source ..........
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] V.Pathfinder:
What else besides the recovery is in your kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Puh, it is not the stock kernel it is build from sonys open source, you can find the code on my git i will start adding stuff asap....any recommendations?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
This may not be the solution you are looking for, but updating to ICS will most likely solve your problem (it solved mine, not 100% sure if it was the same as yours though).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
Thanks Krachlatte! Now that Droidwall is thankfully working out of the box in the stock kernel (and hopefully in yours too), FUSE support comes to mind next, to be able to use Cryptonite. See here:

http://fuse.sourceforge.net/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919861

And, of course, full device encryption. I almost returned my shiny new GO when I found out that Sony routinely deactivated this hallmark ICS feature in their roms. No idea though how difficult this is to implement.

KK v6.7 makes my device bootloop when i try and enter pin.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] V.Pathfinder:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
krachlatte did not test the ICS Kernel and also he did not release source.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Kernel source see my git rep, keep in mind the kkv6 only works with ics ......... smartassv2 gov comming soon, need to test the image befor putting on here...... what i can say ist with kkv6 the battery life has a major increase ..... i will post some screens later.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] V.Pathfinder:
why there was an increase in battery life?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
Your ICS kernel makes our devices bootloop and your git was last updated 21 days ago so you dont have the source up yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
because i installed ICS ....... an removed all issues with my ICS customer kernels that where release earlier
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
see, kernel is working also the recovery,

37% battery left and more then 1 day and 10 Hours, with my normal usage, it did not last that long with Gingerbread.

Now i will test my own CM9 build, since kernel and recovery is working CM9 hopefully works too...i also will tst the included Smartassv2 overnour, hopefully this will further increas the battery life time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
Can you link which ICS Thread you are using? cause Working (and smaller) FTF with Android 4.0.4 for XPERIA Go (Belgium) + videoreview is working most lagless for me but i cant boot your kernel on it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
Only problem i have had is with your ICS kernel, the GB kernel is fine.

install clear ICS. flash your kernel for ICS. Ok-it's work. But when restore programm&setting from Titanium - bootloop(

but you can make mounting SDcard in recovery mode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
hi could you try version v6.1 and see if this is fine?

tb is working fine bluetooth (much better then GB) gps also working perfektly wifi hotspot is fine to...

smartassv2 fine too... will try to port sio ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
You fixed it thanks alot :good:

Booting fine, everything works, wifi - gps - bluetooth - data.

1 request, can you add more govenors? i used SavagedZen and Brazilianwax on my old phone and would love to have it here also.

SavagedZen for everyday use and Brazilianwax for gaming :)

And thanks alot for the ics source upload on Git.

EDIT : forgot about OTF, can you maybe add OTF features from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295486?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
do you have alink to the source coded for this two freq govs ?

i will have a look into the HorsePower source and i will try to port some stuff, many thanks for the link to his git.

but porting will be difficult since it is a different Hardware board LG Optimus 2x compared to the Xperia go Novathor U8500...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
SavagedZen i think is this : https://github.com/Savaged-Zen

Brazilianwax and SavagedZen are modified SmartassV2 Govenors, the only real info i can find on Brazilianwax is from here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

Yea the Optimus 2x got the Star Tegra board, but hopefully the otf code is easily portable as that would be a huge battery life upgrade for us.

Thanks alot for the time you are taking to do this. :good:

EDIT i found a git with alot of govenors in it https://github.com/R-M-S it is for the HTC Sensation 4g but maybe you can use something.

List of govenors in it :

SavagedZEN
Scary
Brazilianwax
OndemandX
Lionheart
Wheatley
Hotplug
MinMax
Lulzactive
Adaptive
PegasusQ
SmartassV2
Badass
Lazy
Intellidemand
Interactive
Lagfree
Conservative
Userspace
Powersave
Ondemand

Hotplug should be a good govenor as it can turn of the second cpu when it is not needed.

"RMS_DragunKernal_V.10-MAX-8-29-2012_3.0.42" have hotplug..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tinkerhell69:
Thanks Lebenita but right now I'm not intersted in going up to ICS. Maybe in a month or so after more kinks are worked out.

Krachlatte - I know you are mostly playing working with ICS but if you end up with a free minute to try & figure out what causes the problems when flipping USB Debug in the GB kernel that would be much appreciated.

thx,

Tink
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
i could not reproduce that, i could switch usb debuggong back and forthno problem, with gb..... sorry

do you have a logcat or dmesg ????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
anyone got a logcat ddms or dmesg output when turning on battery save and is willing to upload ??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
Not trying to convince you, but ICS (rooted stock, no custom kernel) seems to be working flawlessly for most people already. It most certainly does for me, no kinks whatsoever, not a single reboot so far. Perceived speed (in everyday use) is the same, no "lags", battery life maybe slightly better.

And best of all, FUSE is actually included in the stock kernel (so you can drop that from the wishlist, Krachlatte), so we can transparently mount encrypted directories, finally affording us some highly needed security (e.g. for email) in case the phone gets lost.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] teocomi:
Hem hem.. Where do I find the original Kernel? I've been looking on the internet and also here but could not find an .ELF file to flash..

Thanks and sorry if this is a bit out of topic!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
so try to extract yours if it is still original (mine isn't original anymore)

why would you need the original since the edited versions work better than the original ones?

Maybe Pm the OP he might have them...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] teocomi:
Nope, I already have krachlatte GB version, but in order to update to ICS I first need to flash the original kernel, update via PCC and then flash ICS kernel (so they say...). But if there's a better way just tell ;)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
