Its not accurate app... verified on my HTC Photon many times ago when we worked with activating true deep sleep mode kernel side, app said phone was in deep sleep mode but it was not true! If you not analysed your boot image please stop spaming this thread! Your boot image is not property packed and its 100% true... kernel base address is not 0x200000 and ramdisk base address is not 0x120xxxxx ...trust me! Allso trust me about battery drain with your boot image... I am not a liar! I really not analysed why some guys have battery drain but why some guys haven't battery drain... its really strange, but for surre kitchen you using have wrong defined thing about generating boot image!!!

Please lets back to thread! I found something interested! Xperia Go have double boot partition, first is mmcblk0p9 (we use it for booting) but clone partition is mmcblk0p13 (the same boot image is there but whats use? I erased these partition and found nothing strange, still android working without any problem!)... so whats use of the mmcblk0p13??? My idea is now: that clone partition will be maybe used for dedicating recovery partition?? What you think? Maybe we can get another way for booting into recovery! Maybe Sony allready done an dedicated space for us for recovery? I annalysing bootloader and I found there is something about "ANDROID" header (header that is in standard htc bassed images - recovery bassed imaged... not like Sony elf format) I tried to boot an image (elf) by command fastboot boot boot.img but phone hangs on red led notification... so first I need to know how to boot an image by fastboot without needs for installing these boot image... do you know how we can boot something using fastboot protocol? Command that I tried is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\adbsony>fastboot -b 0x00000000 boot kernel.elf
creating boot image...

Link for Xperia Go ICS 4.0

But this firmware is very slower than GB. I think it relates to CPU clock speed or something like that. Hope the dev can see it and fix it .

Thnx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
You can not grep mmcblk0p13 in mounts because its not mounted ! You can see these partition by dd command or by fdisk...

I think its possible but we need to know how to...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sj8023ld:
The new flash tool add a fuction , you can see the load address when you extract elf files. Besides, you can use

objdump -x kernel.elf

to get the load address.

For ICS ,the right command to pack the kernel is

python mkelf.py -o kernel-unsigned.elf zImage@0x00008000 ramdisk.img@0x1000000,ramdisk cmd@0x00000000,cmdline

you can get the cmdline in the end of the kernel.sin

Besides,there's no need to convert the kernel.elf to kernel.sin

I atteched the chinese files about chinese recovery and I hope you can help to to mod it in to chinese if possible .

Last but not least ,I build the recovery from source ,but the armoa installer can't work and I can't mount or backup/install from/to ext sdcard ,could you tell me how to get them work？ Thanks a lot！
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi munjeni.

It is possible to add scripts to start automatically when i start my phone, i have some scripts i like to start when my phone start. But i have been looking after init.d folder inside system, but can't find it. I used to have my scripts there..

It is possible to make that folder and write somewhere, edit a file and add init.d to load..

Thanks for your hard work on this root :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi again.

You can also get root this way. Using munjeni kernel from post 1.

1. Make sure you have unlocked bootloader.

2. Restart your phone into fastboot.

3. Put munjeni's kernel inside your fastboot folder. (fastboot can you found somewhere on this forum)

4. Open a dos windows and type this: fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

5. Follow the dos screen and restart phone.

6. After your phone have started, start flashtool v.0.9.8.0 and root it with superuser or supersu, then your phone is rooted.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Sorry but you posting in wrong thread! This thread is Gingerbread boot and CWM!

Yes I know allready! What about fourth part of the boot omage (between 0x90 to 0x4e0)?

Yes but I love to revert all back :)

This is great... but font code you posted is 10x18 so its big! I need 7x16 with mine recovery because our screen is small for runing 10x18 font

Its not easy if you not know what you need to do... you need to debug your recovery... for example dump recovery log to sdcard by presing menu "report error"...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Sorry, not now untill we have an stable custom kernel... we have a lot of kernels out here but compiling recovery for every kernel have no sense! Sony must create an dedicated partition for recovery because we realy need it :( ...this is petition :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
I understand :( Well at this point i'm happy that i have root on my Xperia GO, using your kernel :) So let hope it is stable, i haven't notice any problem yet with it... my phone is 2 days old and seems to work good..

I can ofcourse use ROM Toolbox Lite to run my scripts :)

I have two xperia go phones and both of them running whit this rooted setup. but on both of them if I trying to make wireless AP then it dosent work. cant see new wireless AP.

maybe a bug?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

I don't have problem with that. I just made one AP on my phone, and it shows up in my wireless connection on my computer here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
There is a lot of low cost routers like I had one, so on an router I had a lot of problems like you have now because that router was an s**t, but after buying new router all my home things working well !

i have been trying to boot from fastboot and flashtool but i get error from both saying wrong range when i try to softboot a boot.img after the red text ^^^^^^^^and phone hangs on red light have to do power + vol up untill i get the 3 shakes . with regards to this clone partion is there no way to right into the bootloader to vol up to boot from the clone partition?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

Reboot your phone into fastboot: volume up + plugin the usb, then you got the blue light.

Then run this command in dos window:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

Then wait to it finish and restart phone. After that i started up my phone and i used flashtool to get root.

Kernel.sin can be downloaded here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1364005&d=1348951001

Make sure you are using the latest version from SE(STOCK) version 6.0.B.3.184
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
this i know i have got root and cwm running my question was about the clone boot. if it was about softboot im not looking to flash the phone im looking to do a one time boot but it seems that sony have removed this option

what FW do you use now?

cause i have read if we upgrade from 6.0.B.3.184 we must downgrade first to 6.0.B.3.162 also we need relock bootloader

cmiiw if that's you're mean

sorry i just a noob who want to learn :o

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi munjeni!

Thank you very much for adding init.d support :good:

I have couple of questions for ya :)

- What chmod should i use on the folder init.d ?

chmod 6755, 0755, 0777 etc

- Should i install BusyBox from the market(google), i have it already installed from your first post, but not sure if that one is the newest one, and if i install a newer one, would it make some problems?

- Would it be any kind of problems if i install SuperSU now after i have installed superuser.apk from your package in first post?

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Hi, busybox from my post havesupport for run=parts so you no need to change busybox...

About folder init.d 755 is enought...

About superuser you can remove super user from android app menu...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

I have been trying a lot now, and is not working. My script won't start and i can't make any files inside /system/etc/init.d/

I use ROM Toolbox, Root Browser and i never had this kind of problems.

I can move files into that folder /init.d/ but not make files.

I also made a simple script for testing. I have a test file that i want remove with this script i made below. But it didn't work. Permission are set to 755 on all files inside init.d

#!/system/bin/sh

rm /system/etc/init.d/test

Nothing happens :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
You can not remove system files when system partition have "read only flag" ! For example you need to remount system to "read and write":

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/etc/init.d/test
mount -o remount,ro /system
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi munjeni

Your init.d support doesen't seems to work.

I have made another example without need to remount.

I made a new file, test with this code:

#!/system/bin/sh

rm /sdcard/test.txt

and made a file, test.txt and put it inside the sdcard since that folder have already R/W permission.

The test file have chmod 755 like the init.d folder.

The strange ting is, that my script work if i manually start it and it delete the test.txt.

But when i try again, with reboot of my phone, the script wont start, because the test.txt is still there :(

But as i told, it work if i run it manually...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Ok, do you have busybox installed to /system/xbin ?

Or you have installed busybox to /system/bin ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

That didn't work ether :(

I have been trying also some other tweak scripts that you can put into init.d, they don't work ether.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Busybox must be installed to /system/xbin folder!!!

Restart your phone, do not go to CWM, just restart your phone. When your phone is ready, connect the USB cable then open a dos window inside c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
