Work only in Android or in CWM too?...
[Xperia Z Android Development] sephstyler:
DoomLord

firstly, thanks for all your work

initially i was on .350 and had used your method to install CWM.

In the last week, I had upgraded to 253 via a rooted 253, and flashed kernel and fota to match

unfortunately, that ROM (or something along the way) had made the phone not receive push notifications via wifi. Hence I wanted to return to my cwm backup of 350.

When trying to boot into CWM, it appeared I could not, it would just boot to system.

per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41593909

I was advised to install recovery again, so I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

That still doesnt boot into recovery, so I tried the latest version of yours. Mine reboots into fastboot ok (blue LED), but when I try to send the img file over, it just keeps saying waiting for device....

im fairly sure I didnt change drivers or anything, ideas?

TIA
[Xperia Z Android Development] doum89:
Ehi doomlord please help me :p

Could you write me the right sequence of the commands I have to text on cmd? I made a folder in C: called Fastboot and put into it the file boot.img. When I plug my phone into the pc by using fastboot mode, I open cmd and then? Thanks!

[Xperia Z Android Development] Maddhouse:
Open up command prompt in location where adb and fastboot is (shift and right click) and then type what is original post (fastboot flash boot kernel.img) or open up flashtool click on the lightening icon > fastboot > reboot device into fastboot via adb and then select kernel to flash
[Xperia Z Android Development] ohy1994:
latest kernel is in zip form? how do i flash without recovery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
open zip file

there will be boot.img

extract it

[Xperia Z Android Development] schaggo:
Hey DooM, any chance you could update the .434 kernel with the latest CWM build?

CWM 6.0.3.2 seems to work a bit better in .253, I prefer .434 over the newest stock firmware though. As I don't have a clue on how the modify boot images, could you do it if you get around to?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
probably not... it will become difficult for me to maintain multiple sets of kernels... u can unpack-repack the kernel urself... i have already posted all the information and the files to do so... but please do not release it in public..
[Xperia Z Android Development] Michealtbh:
Could you expand on this please? I'm trying to repack the Cyanogenmod kernel to include TWRP but having no luck and haven't found any info.

I can unpack and repack no problem but I'm not sure which files need replaced.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
unpack the kernels u want to merge using unpack-bootimg.pl

u will get zImage and ramdisk.cpio.gz for each

unpack the ramdisk.cpio.gz, u should get the new combined ramdisk format we use

copy the corresponding ramdisk.cpio in the /sbin to the target ramdisk

make changes in /sbin/init.sh to support multi-recovery (FYI keep my credits intact as i have implemented this in most Xperia devices since Xperia X10)

repack ramdisk to ramdisk.cpio.gz

repack ramdisk.cpio.gz with target zImage and correct mkbootimg parameters

thats it ;)

all the tools required for this are already on my github:

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/build_tools

BTW feel free to use these modified kernels for ur own use but please DO NOT PUBLISH them anywhere without taking permissions of the original authors (recovery, ramdisk, kernel)...

If i come with LB with CWM, i want to Unlocked and then flash CWM UB... how the cel now which CWM will load?

Which the wat to flash CMW UB if comming with a room with LB CWM?? Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] schaggo:
Boah, really bad English, very hard to decipher what you really want. But I'll try guessing:

You ask, how the phone decides which CWM to load? Probably depends on your timing. To not make it a question though, I would do as follows:

Get a kernel with included CWMR (Advanced Stock Kernel with CWMR by DooMLorD or DooMKernel by DooMLorD)

Backup TA, Unlock, etc etc

Reflash the current firmware you have but ONLY flash /system (this will get rid of CWMR for locked bootloaders)

Flash the kernel with included CWMR

Profit!!

Remember: unlocking will wipe data, internal storage (and even SD? not sure) so remove the SD and make a backup of everything you need before you continue. Probably a good idea to pull a nandroid backup before the unlocking and then restore the nandroid backup (excluding 'boot') once you unlocked.

You further ask, how to switch ROMs?

Point CWMR to a flashable zip file. You never flashed using a recovery system flashed before?
[Xperia Z Android Development] j0nthn:
Hey Schaggo, may I ask why you prefer .434 over .235? I've gottten useful tips from you a couple times now and I would like to have your insight on this matter, as I'm thinking about updating to .253 (OTA, hopefully sustaining root acces)

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] alvizu:
hueva
[Xperia Z Android Development] schaggo:
I did the update anyway in the meantime, CWMR 6.0.3.0 which came with .434 didn't cut the bacon for me, 6.0.3.2 which only comes with the .253 kernel image is performing better on the Z.

Anyway, for me .253 didn't bring anything needed or wanted to the table as my Z was running fine with .434. There's to add, I dislike the new colour scheme. So that's one against and naught in favour of .253, simple maths. But as I said, did the update anyway because of the newer recovery build which only comes with the .253 kernel. .253 is a fine build, you may update as you wish.
[Xperia Z Android Development] j0nthn:
Updated OTA as well, kept root :) I did like the color scheme before downgrading, but now I'm used to .434 again...

.307 recovery

Hi DooMLord,

does this work with the latest software .307?

I have just unlocked the bootloader and don't know hot to flash the ROM anymore. :(

thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the .253 kernel should work for .307 too, as the kernel sources are identical...

[Xperia Z Android Development] vladislavg:
Hi DML,

first of all - thanks!

I've installed everything as was described and worked perfectly but when I've rebooted in recovery I saw that is ver.6.0.3.0 instead of 6.0.3.2 - any ideas?

Not that is not working, I was just wondering.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] kamalmawa:
I can confirm that this works fine on .307 .. I just used your kernel to root and relock bootloader by restroring TA partition.. whola I have a rooted .307 with locked bootloader ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] schaggo:
.434 and .253 are seemingly compatible as well. Seems all kernels are exchangable without any obvious drawbacks then, if one want's to do that for whatever reason.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no there are some noticeable differences between .434/.253 even on the kernel side... i would not recommend using the .434 on .253 and vice-versa...
[Xperia Z Android Development] schaggo:
Of course. But superficial interoperability is definitely the case. I agree with you though and would not recommend it, even if it is/were possible.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jerdog:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Waza_Be:
Just a question,

The download files in the OP are zip that contains a boot.img.

Is the boot.img the file that I have to flash in fastboot?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u already have recovery installed then no need just flash the package through recovery...

incase u dont have recovery then follow the fastboot steps

Phone does not power on after flashing cwm

So I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader first through fastboot (nothing appeared on the phone like how with htc you have to confirm yes or no to unlock their bootloaders) and then I rebooted and it took me back to the setup screen so I assumed the bootloader was unlocked, then I went ahead rebooted into fastboot and flashed the boot.img through fastboot and the phone has not turned on since. Guys can you help me out here?? I think I tried all the volume + usb combos :crying::crying:

Flashing new kernel make wipe system etc etc. You must flash everything once again.

Doesn't work on the latest 4.2.2 release. Flashing boot img via flashboot will cause a bootloop. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
[Xperia Z Android Development] elspanish88:
I may be wrong but I think we need to wait for kernel sources for the 4.2.2 kernel before this can be used with the new 4.2.2 firmware

Good luck on those exams.

Thanks given for your 423 root kit, it worked perfectly on my ZL.

Any chance you can provide cwm for 10.3.a.0.423 on the ZL?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
This, and any custom kernel, needs an unlocked bootloader. You need XZDualRecovery to obtain recovery or unlock your bootloader...

Hi!

I just did it, but something went definitely wrong.

The installed SuperSU apk complains, that it hasn't su binary installed. However, it's not true. It's there (in /system/xbin), it has proper permissions (setuid set), but it fails to properly execute and returns RC=1.

Maybe it's incompatible with 4.3 ?

Pre-rooting feature of advanced kernel doesn't work proprely, I had to flash superuser.zip in recovery to have fonctionnal root.
[Xperia Z Android Development] patrol-cz:
I hope not. My BL is unlocked anyway.

However, I need root seriously, so I did some more experiments.

1) I've flashed a different - maybe newer - rooting package, from there: http://www.datafilehost.com/d/d6122b49

2) Immediately after reboting, it worked - I saw my root requiring apps getting the access during boot. Also SuperSU.apk was OK, working as normal.

3) After a short while, I tried to su from the console. It failed again, with the same symptoms (RC=1, the file was there, permissions OK). SuperSU.apk then complained about missing su binary again and the root access was lost for all the applications requiring it.

4) I immediately reflashed the same package again, prepared to monitor, what's happening there and what causes the su binary to malfunction.

However, since then, the root is stable. su binary still works even from the console, root requiring apps including SuperSU.apk are still happy. So, I didn't find the cause of the problem, but it's there and I don't know, when it will hit again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] scifan:
Out of curiosity, what's the version of chainfire's SuperSU that you installed? ah... I see... 1.51
