Looks like its installing,

Then getting an error 7

How to get full log?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
Use adb to get the logcat or the log file stored in cache partition

Or just go to advanced and show log after trying to install and tell me what it says.

@Apology11: I noticed that K900 got us a new nightly, from 27-09. You think you can update it?

Even better, if I want to do it myself, I just need to follow the guide for CM9.1 on the 4th post with the AOKP updater-script?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
The guide is not exact, there are some different filenames, and you also have to change some other files not mentioned in the guide.

I will try to do it today, but I don´t know why the las AOKP didn´t worked.

Maby there is a corrupted file?

I will upload the new build later and if there is an installation error again, I have to ask letama about it, as I see he is here again :)

I will try build3.

Because championswimmer announced build 3 but the build from 27.12 is the build I uploaded and failed to install.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No, the latest one you uploaded didn't worked, but as soon as I traded with your fixed updater-script, its running fine here (gonna edit this post with the screenshot by my phone soon). Yeah. noticed you uploaded the 27.12. Thought it was the other one.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Ok, it's better! if it fails now, it probably means that zImage and/or initramfs.cpio.gz are not in the zip file. Be careful, it should be zImage with a capital I, not zimage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I dunno, because everything is running fine. Check my screenshot on the top of this page.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
I don't know about data, everything is fine here but I saw many with problems, and not only with boot manager.

Regarding apps getting deleted, weren't they stored on internal storage instead of data partition ? I know that dual booting is causing troubles to apps moved to "SD". You should check your apps and move them to internal data if they are not.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elpelas:
initramfs.cpio.gz is low size than aokp build 2. 1.23MB - 1.30MB

check it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
No, this is not low, it has to be trimmed to be able to fit boot manager space.

It's a bit high maybe ?

Apology11, you should try the command manually from adb while cwmod is running, maybe the cpio is too big. kf will tell you why it doesn't want to flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elpelas:
1.23MB -> AOKP 9-27-12 -> install with errors

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
You mean I should try to install the rom with adb by copying the update-script there so I can see the output?

Another thing:

Can you tell me what I have to change when trying to use cm on stock partition?

Because I tried it using you FXP137 and looking for the changes you done, but now it boots but it then there are error messages "android.phone.com crashed" and it reboots.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
No, what I meant is testing the kf command only, something like that:

adb shell mkdir /tmp

adb push zImage /tmp

adb push initramfs.cpio.gz /tmp

adb shell kf 2 /tmp/zImage /tmp/initramfs.cpio.gz

kf should give you some feedback on why it doesn't want to flash kernel (if it doesn't, not sure :))

You erased data/cache partitions before installing ?

cm on stock is easier, it's almost untouched: you leave init.*.rc as they are as you will install on stock partitions. On the updater-script, you just replace the kernel flash at the end, and you trim the initramfs.cpio.gz.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:

Hello Guys,

I added 6.1.A.2.50 stock firmware for native partitions...

Here is how I installed without loosing second build and data:

Go to cwmod for stock and flash the zip file I provided

(optional, but strongly recommended) Flash radio only with FlashTool.

If you want to flash radio:

Download "regular" 6.1.A.2.50 stock ftf firmware

Launch flashtool and drop the ftf on it

Uncheck all wipe checkbox (data, cache, apps log)

Check all exclude checkbox except baseband

Click OK

Plug your powered off phone while pressing volume down
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
This is too high, but your sbin is clean. Did you remove /res directory ?

try a "du -s *" in the cpio directory, it will tell you were the "fat" is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
I removed it now and got this:

4	data
4	default.prop
4	dev
4	fstab.semc
104	init
4	init.goldfish.rc
20	init.rc
20	init.semc.rc
4	init.semc.usb.rc
4	init.trace.rc

4	recovery.fstab
940	sbin
4	sys
4	system
4	ueventd.goldfish.rc
8	ueventd.rc

Do you think its small enough if I repack it now?

How big are the zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz allowed to be?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Soheil_rf:
Thanks for update

can you create zip with Only unsecure kernel for 6.1.A.2.50 ?

I have 2.50 FW but now using older and secure kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
logo.rle is big, but with a little luck it could work. Problem is I think that they went from lzma kernel compression to gzip to speed up boot time, but now kernel is bigger. I'm afraid that you may have to replace logo.rle with something smaller (sony one is small, 7.5K).

kf tells you what the limit is , you have it in the message you posted few post ago, 5830624 for kernel+cpio. As kernel is 5.046.880, you have about 800.000 for cpio.

You can also try to play with gzip compression level for cpio, gzip -9 (or -8, -7) instead of gzip, but it may causes problem with decompression at boot time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Added... Standalone unsecure kernel. Untested though.

Hi Guys!

New version 0.3 is out, nothing much, most notable change is cwm bugfix to get proper aroma colors. See first posts for download and check upgrade instruction, you won't loose your kernels and firmware if you upgrade instead of doing fastboot install.

No urge to upgrade, this is mostly useful if you want to install aroma based firmware (not available yet).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Krabappel2548's KA14 added, finally! Thanks to him to let me distribute the modified release here.

It took time as I wanted to fix the aroma display corruption, so bm 0.3 upgrade is strongly advised before installing it.

I didn't test it extensively, but everything looks fine at first glance. If you're coming from a stock firmware, you may have to clear data to start from a clean state.

I also added repackaging logs as it differs a little from stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Now that he just released the KA15 version lol

@letama,

Could you update the AOKP loop to build 4.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krabappel2548:
KA14 was not that buggy. And if you do a clean install first boot always gives a lot of FC, but afterwards it should be fixed. Also often people don't read the entire installation instructions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Giblet-dono:
Krabappel2548 did not mean to offend you,

I tested KA14 with and without a full wipe.

Either way I had NFC force closing on every boot, so much I couldn't even boot.

I suggest everyone to wait for KA15 which already seems much more stable!

Thank you for your hard work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Giblet-dono:
Btw: I just installed KA15 as a clean install to my first partition, and if you choose: "use Sony kernel" it will work 100%

No need to repack anyway as fas as I can see..

letama, could you clarify if it's needed..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Yes, it's a valid way to install as it will keep the existing kernel untouched.

However if you want to use the embedded SSpeed kernel or the init.d support, you need a repackaged one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:

Are you sure that replacing th logo.rle with the stock one works fine, or do I have to edit it in any way, because it doesn´t show the logo and then just reboots. If you sure that its compatible, I go and check everything again, but if not I will try to raise the compression level.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Hi All,

Here is some feedback about few things I noticed:

1) CWMod new backup scheme can get corrupted quickly. I don't know why it happened, I noticed that the internal storage fsck found few orphaned files. Unfortunately, a corruption somewhere is corrupting all backups, so I strongly suggest using the other backup methods (tar for instance).

2) Aroma fails to launch sometime. I think that's because of the new double buffering in cwmod 6.x, if you have bad luck Aroma starts on the second buffer and in this case nothing is displayed. Reboot the phone, try again and cross finger :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
I'm 90% sure that replacing logo works, yes. A complete reboot without any logo is strange, it looks like a cpio repackaging problem or a permission problem.

Here is a trick when you have this kind of problem: go to the other builds that works and check last_kmsg with a cat /proc/last_kmsg.

It will display dmesg from the previous run, you should find hints on why it failed. You can post a pastebin here if you want me to take a look...

Don't bother... I checked aokp and I know why it doesn't boot.

They changed the cpio location in their kernel, it's now at 0x41500000 instead of the 0x41300000 Sony uses.

This is something I didn't plan to support in boot manager, and it will never work with this kernel.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
No, it has nothing to do with the logo. The issue is initramfs is getting corrupted, probably when the kernel is decompressed. It's a bit weird as I thought that it was decompressed in another location, but logs are clearly showing that initramfs can't be unpacked:

[ 0.488690] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[ 0.488921] rootfs image is not initramfs (junk in compressed archive); looks like an initrd
[ 0.491400] Freeing initrd memory: 728K

Proper boot looks like this:

<6>[ 0.699810] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
<6>[ 0.733626] Freeing initrd memory: 948K

I'll recompile a test version of boot manager with initramfs at 0x41500000 to see if it boots, but if 0x41500000 is the way to go I will have to think on how I'll handle the upgrade to be as painless as possible.

*edit*

Ok, so it boots fine with 0x41500000! I have to work on the upgrade process now, it's a bit more complicated than 0.2 -> 0.3.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
How did you get the logs ? from one recovery ?

[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.0.8+1.0.21100-30145-gf2e548b-dirty (root@tipolx) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #44 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 3

and this:

[ 0.000000] PL:ATAG_INITRD2, start=41300000, size=0015D199

definitely tells that this is the bl_zimage kernel or one that I compiled, and this log is from previous bootloader load.

You should do cat /proc/last_kmsg after booting from the other running build (native for you probably) to get the logs for the kernel that failed.

Regarding the how I made it work: I modified dual_loader.S and Makefile sources to go to 0x41500000 and rebuilt a dual.elf. I finished the upgrade zip, I'll upload tomorrow probably after few more tests. It looks good so far and upgrade is seamless. And AOKP is running fine too!

No, sorry, I won't use MediaFire:

- it has a 200MB limit. This is a definitive no-go for me, no stock firmware and no miui for instance.
