[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cdesai:
Modifying the existing partition table isn't a good idea, and even if you plan on doing that, it would be safer if you don't touch anything below system.

FOTAKernel partition is currently used to store recovery (though the kernel partition has a recovery as well).

Boot[2] contains the bootloader(s), so you can't remove them - you'll end up with a brick.

ramdump isn't used on production devices from what i know, so it could be used to store something else (since TX and V do not have any free space at the end of the partition table, while T does)

So what could be done is flash lk to Kernel, kernel to FOTAKernel, and a trimmed down recovery to ramdump, which is doable without modifying the existing partition table.

AW: [Bootloader] LK for Xperia T

Thank you very much. 2 questions:

1: does your patched kernel include TWRP 2.4.1.1 or 2.4.1.0 and we have to do it through goomanager?

2: when I backup stock jb, wipe and flash cm i don't lose TWRP? because cm10 has cwm in the boot.img and with this method it won't override my current recovery?

thanks

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] travis82:
Sounds great. I like having separate kernel and recovery partitions. I hate that kernel and recovery is in one image.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
At present my boot.img that I supplied has TWRP 2.4.1.0 in it due to packaging in the wrong ramdisk, my kernel should have no recovery in it at all as this allows recovery to live on its own partition, TWRP 2.4.1.1 that installs on to FOTA when you run goomanager is set up for this method of booting.

As for CM, I've been working with cdesai to get this merged into cm10.1, if successful CM will no longer be built like that but rather be a rom that uses lk as the bootloader with seperate kernel and recovery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
AW: [Bootloader] LK for Xperia T

okay but I have a problem. goomanager does download successful and says installation successful but when I enter recovery it is still 2.4.1.0, tried several times now...

Gesendet von meinem LT30p mit Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
I had this problem the other day, you need to be root for it to work, what I did was downloaded 2.4.1.1 linked here under the heading "Download - FOTAKernel Image" then flash it with lk fastboot using the command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.1-mint.img"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:

AW: [Bootloader] LK for Xperia T

okay thanks for your help, everything fine :)

what if I want to install cm10 now? just wipe and flash? does it just flash the kernel included in the boot.img from the cm10 zip and not the recovery? or is this not possible yet/overrides the recovery and reverts anything?

Gesendet von meinem LT30p mit Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
Not yet, CM10 includes a 3.0 kernel which won't work with lk at this point in time.

I am working with cdesai at getting lk merged into cm10.1 but that is still a wip at the moment, you could probably build a cm10.1 image that is compatible from the changes on gerrit, but ultimately for cm10.1 I would wait until it transitions to using the sony 3.4 kernel
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adam900710:
Perfect idea and the bootloader.

Waiting for CM to accept it as default bootloader and kernel support.

BTW, it will be much better if CM10 also use the Sony JB kernel, but it will not be so....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Random Canadian:
Sorry if I'm not getting something, but could/will this be able to be installed on devices that say "boot loader unlock allowed:no" to allow usage of CM10/PA/AOSP ect?

I'm coming from an Atrix so the concept of recovery being tied to a specific kernel is foreign to me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
No, you'll need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom/unsecure kernel. There are versions of recoveries for locked bootloaders, though you'll still need to be rooted
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
no, in this case LK adds as an extra link in the boot chain taking place of where the kernel normally sits, to do this you need to be able to load an unsigned kernel
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mrsatan:
Damn this is sweet. My only problem with Sony devices is how the kernel is tied to the recovery. I wish my Xperia S could do this! Hopefully the Xperia Z and further phones try this as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DooMLoRD:
I intend to get this working on Xperia S...

There is No need of this on Xperia Z as it uses standard boot.img format
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
my Xperia V has about 50MB free space unpartitioned (stock JB)

i think it's not enough for taking the risk and making it an officially supported device for this method ??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
How did you determine this? The output that I was given from parted showed 0 free space.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
Sv: [Bootloader] LK for Xperia T

I don't know if it's matter but I was on cm10.1 when I send you the output
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
That wouldn't matter, at this stage only flashing FTFs (or via PC Companion/EMMA/etc) and the LK installation zip modify the partition table on the Xperia T, it would be the same on the V.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cdesai:
New version uploaded

It supports dual booting, second kernel is loaded if camera focus key is pressed on first 5 seconds of boot, and second recovery on pressing the snapshot key (i.e. pressing it fully)

second kernel is loaded from Android2 partition, and second recovery from recovery2 partition.

We'll update the scripts to make them automatically shortly.

LK:

http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/mint/lk/lk-20130223.elf

flash it with "fastboot flash bootloader <file>"

Also, here's a completely unmodified stock kernel, for anyone who wants it - built from source, but packed into a boot.img rather than sony elf.

http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/mint/sony/boot-20120224.img
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hodgepodge81:
So after that script wil be installed i can install a second kernel en recovery with "fastboot flash recovery2 recovery.img" and "fastboot flash Android2 boot.img"?

Great solution this, and very easy to install.

Thank you

Partition error

Hi,

I just installed LittleKernel-1.0-FINAL.zip and JB_Kernel_LK.zip. Now my Xperia T will not boot anymore, I can start the Phone in fastboot mode and by using sony xperia flasher i can start the Phone using the option select "kernel to HotBoot". I select the boot.img I extracted from JB_Kernel_LK.zip and the Phone 'Hotboot s' just fine. When I try to install the kernel to flash using the same tool (or fastboot from Android SDK) I get the following error :

In other words something went wrong with my partition table, I can't flash any image now. Is there a way to fix this using fastboot ?

Please help, I'm running out of options
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
can you fastboot boot a recovery and run "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print all"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] themaxx:
I tried to SSH into my Phone and get the following :

127|root@android:/storage/sdcard0 # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print all

sh: parted: not found

Am i missing any dependencies, or should I boot using somekind of recovery image (If so where can i find it)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hodgepodge81:
No, that's a command u can use in the recovery console. You should flash a stock ftf stock rom with flashboot. In that faq topic you find how to install flashboot and how it works.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I have never heard of flashboot. Do you mean flashmode or fastboot?

I think he means flashmode, as thats how you flash stock ftf's in flashtool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
you will need to try it from recovery, I have no idea where you can get a recovery image from, none are built as an android boot.img to my knowledge, alternatively you can flash an ftf with flashtool and try again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] themaxx:
I restored an official ftf rom using flashtool (Phone in flashmode) and tried the procedure again, the rusults were the same. no partition table.

So now I have the Original xperia rom again and used the mint489stock.img for twrp. This worked well for me as i now have a rooted xperia T. Thanks for your help.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lilstevie:
Can you install the .zip but before rebooting run parted with the command I gave earlier, then after (so you don't need to flash an ftf again) dd mint489stock.img to mmcblk0p4
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Orkeren:
bump

is this project completely abandoned? As in: are there any kernels and/or ROMs compatible with LK for the Xperia T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
If you mean that you can reboot into recovery from the reboot menu without having to press the volume button.... Yes. CM10.1 works perfectly. No need to press any key to get into recovery anymore.

Verstuurd van mijn TF300T met Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Orkeren:
I was more thinking along the lines of a boot.img without recovery and a recovery using some other partition (i.e. the one created by this mod).

Anyways - after doing some more research I've found out, that the standard CM kernel still includes CWM, but that it can boot TWRP from the FOTA-partition, if present...

My question - is there any reason to flash LK?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hashroot:
Can you add support for Xperia L ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
As far as I see, there is not so much a reason to flash LK as non-dev. LK is more a proof-of-principle, than something we 'end-users' can use.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chraso:
Hi lilstevie,

I'm impressed from your work.

I would like your help in compiling the littlekernel bootloader for my phone.

I have doubt in my mind that if I compile this for my device will my device have the fastboot support or not?

Here is where I started.

ok, so the problem is, that the original rom have standard android functionality, that on every boot reflash recovery partition with original recovery. there are 2 possible solutions.

1. flash my deodex rom, where this is disabled

2. use adb shell to disable it, but you have to be rooted. here is command flow :

adb shell

Great News!!! Cant wait to see what the devs have in mind and what they are able to create for this device. Full HD with the 5 inch display and capacitive buttons that don't take up any of screen real estate. I hope that a port of Paranoid Android? I think that would be so slick on the OF5, I have it on my Nexus 7 and is is super smooth. I'm pretty sure we need CM first though if I'm correct to build Paranoid Android from, correct? Also cant wait fr some custom kernels to crank this bad boy up to about 1.89GHz Quad Core and then overclock the GPU too. I think some good camera mods and tweaks will come out also, that will make this 13MP Exmor camera shine. I see a lot of modding in the future, especially after people start getting their orders from the new batch shipped, some people have said they have stared to ship the second batch already.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkolech:
I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it seems I have lost my Root Access. I has SuperSU Pro with OTA Survival mode on installed as a system app before the upgrade but it seems it did not keep Root access. I used Root Checker and it's telling me I am not rooted. I am still seeing the unlock Icon at boot so I assume my boot loader is still unlocked.

Is there an easy way to get my Root access back?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonwalpole:
Hey I had the same happen to me, ended up having to fastboot flash recovery to get twrp back and then downloaded the supersu recovery bootable zip and flashed supersu back. Don't forget to update your SDK tools with SDK manager before you flash twrp because 4.2.2 has this added security prompt thing when you connect your tablet it will appear offline in cmd, when you update sdktools and enter adb devices in cmd it will appear offline, check your tablet it will ask you to allow adb. Hope this helps.

Before trying all this maybe try installing busy box, I dunno I'm a bit of a noob
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkolech:
Thanks for your reply. I will try to follow the steps you outlined however, most of what you said is new to me. I initially rooted my device with the Nexus 7 Toolkit so it was a fairly simple procedure. I have never used the SDK or twrp are there any tutorials on how these work on 4.2.2? Also they will probably update Nexus 7 toolkit to support 4.2.2 eventually, so if I can't figure out the steps indicated I may have to wait.

Another noob question: After the update I can still open busybox and SupeSU, how come these apps still run if I am no longer rooted?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonwalpole:
hey man yeh i didnt get how i still had supersu but i definitely wasnt rooted. its all a bit complicated aye, basically you need to download the andriod sdk bundle [now called adt bundle] for whatever you have eg. windows 7 32/64, and the jdk java development kit, look for guides on these, there two youtubers who have helpful channels: driodmodderx and wwjoshdew. also search threads here. you want your device to be recognized by the comp, sdk and jdk do this. twrp is a custom recovery that you can use to flash roms zips etc, you use your comp to send this custom recovery to your device. i would have stayed on 4.2.1 because i dont think you can use custom roms on 4.2.2 bootloader, still 4.2.2 is very smooth, i like it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Boy did your post make me happy! I had the exact same problem. Managed to install 4.2.2 with modified OTA update (original was failing due to some discrepency in GoogleCalendar.apk) but even though I had SuperSU in survival mode, I lost my root. I've been trying all afternoon to connect via adb to my Nexus and just couldn't - it was always offline.. I tried 3 different computers and my SGNII phone (which worked) but N7 just wouldn't stop being offline...

I hope this is the solution! Thanx a BUNCH!

One question - my bootloader is unlocked telling by the icon on boot "google" screen - will I lose my apps and data after "re-rooting" that is, after flashing custom recovery and SuperSU?

THANX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HTC One S] lonegunman0:
I got my phone from htc repair yesterday and just last night I noticed an issue with the screen when watching a YouTube video. Firstly the quality doesn't seem to be as clear as it used to be plus (major issue) the screen was showing large block pixels across the screen when dark areas were showing. Also, this doesn't just happen when i'm watching videos it also shows up when the phone displays certain colours. Is there fix to this other than sending it in for repair again?

Update: I got another replacement handset from HTC and it's still happening, just want to know if this happens to other One S users. I've also added an image showing the pixels.
