I compared the code with original sony source and some other kernels but I can't find what is wrong, the code itself looks correctly, I mean the structure of functions and variables

Here, see this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45638924&postcount=66

See the Makefile flag changes.

Told you, adding -w flags to the makefile solves everything.

Or not, your call. xD

i have succssfully compiled the kernel. and i have created kernel.elf file and when i flash it to my device xperia S i just get a black screen that turns on for 5 sec and den off continuously. i haven't changed any configuration in menuconfig and no changes in ramdisk... simply just compiled with no errors .. then why the kernel is not booting.. Am i doing something wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Are you sure you entered the correct mkelf.py command?

Yes, the numbers do matter.

Only other issue I see is that you took your ramdisk from your source kernel in a wrong way. (Letama's guide for ramdisk handling is useful, and actually works.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apurba_ron:
I have rooted my phone after 20 days later it shows your phone is not rooted.

i checked My phone with Root Checker Basic.

OK compiled the zImage

It was not exactly named as 'zImage' but 'Image' of about 14.5MB size.

I renamed it to zImage.

git cloned DoomLoRD's build tools

Place the zImage in apq8064_fusion3 folder

Installed ia32-libs

Extracted ramdisk.cpio.gz from kernel.sin

Ran the cmommand ./mkbootimg............etc

AAAnd here it is

I made a kernel for ion.I also build wifi moudle but the wifi doesnt work with the stock file.I wan tio know the reason.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Judging from what you wrote, you want me to sit here while you tell me you want something. That's cool. I mean, good for you, you want to know the reason. Too bad you didn't ask anyone for help or anything...

A nice question or a "please" would do next time, tagging someone you think knows the answer and can help you isn't really a way to ask for help (also this would've been a lot better to just send via PM, as it has little to do with anyone else than you and me).

Anyways, the only way to see the reason something doesn't work are logs. Kernel ones, of course, not the Android system ones.

That's as much info as I can give you on finding the source of your issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kin912:
I'm sorry for that.I compile the kernel for stock rom but the stock bcm4330.ko is not load.I know that the kernel compile for custom rom is no need to build wifi moudle.I have read doom's github and build the wifi moudle successful,but the wifi is not stable without the wifi moudle which I built.Do you know how to handle this question?Best wish!

doom's github https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_kernel_sony_msm8660/blob/master/build_wifi
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
If the thing works with the wifi module, what's the issue? Use the module and that's it. ...?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kin912:
I just want to use the stock moudle.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
But you said that the stock one doesn't work...

I really don't see the issue, why would you want to use something that is broken over something that fixes all the issues?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Which device are you building for? I can see that you're building for cm11. It is quite possible that for cm11, you need to use a different config file. You need to see your device's BoardConfig.mk in the device tree to get the correct config file. The TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG attribute will be what is needed:)

It's worked fine, thanks. But I've got another problem: do you have any idea how can i get ramdisk for sony tipo?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Yeah. You need to open your device's ftf file with any archiver and extract kernel.sin. Then use flash tool's Sin Editor to extract the kernel as elf/img (I don't know which one is for tipo). If you get an elf file, in Flashtool go to Tools---> Extractors---> Elf and unpack the elf file to get your stock ramdisk. If you get an img file, then use Championswimmer's kernel kitchen to unpack the kernel.img file.

Hi.. I am trying to merge XS AOSP 4.4 drivers into XZ1 Compact's kernel source.. How do i merge em before compiling?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Well I have never tried porting drivers from another device but why do you want to port xs drivers to xz1 compact? I mean xz1 is a relatively newer device and it should have it's own drivers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
No no.. I am not porting drivers.. Instead i am trying to port 4.4 from XZ1 Compact to XS which needs merging kernel drivers from XS AOSP 4.4 to the XZ1 Compact's kernel sources since bilchen's AOSP has the best display drivers amongst all Kitkat ROMs.. Hence asked.. I followed ur tutorial, its very helpful.. But unfortunately i am a newbie at developing stuff.. Is there anyway to merge the drivers that u know about?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
As of now, I'm not sure about merging drivers. I'd recommend you to have a look at the commits of the kernel source in billchen1977's github. It might help you - https://github.com/billchen1977/kernel_sony_msm8x60/commits/master

There are a few commits like import mako gpu driver etc. Might be useful to you. Good luck:)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tenifugo:
Hi! It's been four days that I can not sleep trying to compile the kernel of my smartphone. They appeared several errors , but i got to solve them alone. But I'm stuck in one, and i would appreciate your help . The problem is that after changing the required settings in the menu, I can not create the file " zImage". I run the command : "make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi-", the compiling process starts but in the end, the terminal does not convert the files. From what I saw on the internet, in the final lines should appear:

"#OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage

#Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready".

Like in the image:

But in my appears:

I really think that is some command missing, to order the terminal create the zImage. If someone knows what is happening, i would be greateful.

I think that im in the right topic session. If i dont, sorry, im new here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
That means that one thread (out of the four you set with -j4) hit an error and stopped, but the others continued. Scroll up far enough and you'll see there was an error.

Or build again but this time, to make sure you don't miss the error, change "-j4" to "-j1" and wait for errors. (Only do this if you're not sure what the error is because compiling an entire kernel with -j1 can take a while even on high-end CPUs.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tenifugo:
Hi my friend! Thank you for help me! I run with j1 and appears two errors. The first was:

I can solve this problem changing the size of the file.

After that, another error appears, i already research a lot about them, and i cannot find anything. If you have any idea of what is this, tell me.

so i think i need help. i updated the phone few days ago to the latest firmware. and the phoen was fine for the next 2 days. i never had to restart or anything. today one of my games wasnt working so i figured my phone might need a restart.

anyway i did. and now my phone is stuck in some service mode i assume ? its a triangle with screw driver inside and a blue moving bar under it.

i dont know what to do. my phone isnt rooted or anything. i didnt even attempt to root after the update. nothing. just restarting the phone :/

I had this same issue yesterday. I installed the the update from the India c6602. Things were working fine the first day. I did a reset and then had the same issue as the OP had.

A re-flash with the flashtool didn't work the first time and the I tried the Sony companion fix option, and still had problems. Then I realized I had to install the drivers. Are you on windows 8? did you install the drivers that came with the flashtool? I did and then re-flashed, and now its fine again.
