i wasn't able to DD the working kernel. so I guess it is a bootloader thing. this sucks I will never have a custom rom now.

I making a kernel only for those who have an unlocked bootloader as this will not work for those with a locked one. If your boot loade is locked you will get device not found when attempting to hotboot this. This is also only for android 4.3.

I use dual boot via BIOS boot device selection.

a dual boot disk I found difficult to maintain. Windows tries to kill Linux boot partn.

ENA R/W

well on SGY we found a bit that could be set to write-enable all partitions.

some partns are write protected but this can be hacked on some devices like Galaxy. don't give up just yet ;)

i.e.

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/xxx

was only poss after calling "set write enable" on NAND controller.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
I dont know how to do this.
[Sony Xperia E1] Ninoh-FOX:
Will not start, stays on the screen for SONY ...

To me what is driving me crazy is that I compile modules for HID devices (bluetooth keyboard) but then when you run lsmod not leave me and if I try to install them with insmod gives me error ... I WANT BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD Android 4.3!!!

Will there be any way to make a rom with android 4.0 for this phone?

Sony Xperia M2 successfully booted into CyanogenMod (still unstable) (has the same chipset as our E1)

Github: https://github.com/M2Dev/android_device_sony_eagle

I'm gonna try and edit this. Not sure if the phone will boot or not.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
according to the board config we have a different chipset.

Can any developer make stock kernel with recovery so that Xperia e1 users with unlocked bootloader can fastboot that and root their device.

I tried compiling TWRP but no luck.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

I extracted kernel.sin file added recovery binary to ramdisk /sbin/recovery and /res folder compiled using kernel kitchen by championswimmer

Kernel boots but recovery is inaccessible.
[Sony Xperia E1] Alte.78:
I tried extracting kernel.sin, injecting superuser in ramdisk, repacking and booting. Fastboot complains there is no dtb (FAILED (remote: dtb not found)). BTW, original kernel.sin does not boot with the same error.

I took DTB (its in kernel.elf) and created proper bootimage with mkbootimg with dtb support. This time fastboot accepts the boot image and tells me it will boot it, however the on-device image gets booted.

Will continue investigating how to create the right file for fastboot, as the only thing needed is to put the updated ramdisk in with supersu injected.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Are you sure you've managed to boot the NEW kernel? Do you see your /sbin/recovery after booting it? If yes, then tell me how you did that and getting root is just a few hours away :)
[Sony Xperia E1] :
Using official firmware 20.0.A.1.21 I have unlocked the bootloader (Flashtool) then relocked (I had better no doing that that because now can't get it back unlocked anymore --according to warning TS mai77--) When trying unlocking still get first:

unlock succes

then direct after: not saving file unknown filepath And that's propably why I exually completely can't do nothing in fastboot anymore for flashing a boot.img or whatever. When trying to flash anyting with fastboot, Flashtool gives 'writing OK' and then a remote error which explain bootloader is locked. Extracting .sin files then root with kitchen then these files unfortunately can't repacked to .sin and then just insert in the official TFT file wich can flashed in flashmode (I guess:D)

Maybe someone has a solution to unlock bootloader again. My E1 (in case) bootloader unlock allowed Yes. Bootloader status=rootable .
[Sony Xperia E1] K4sh:
Yes the new kernel boots but recovery is not showing while booting

I think there is problem in compiled recovery as I am not a great developer

I request good developers to get it done atleast stock kernel with recovery so that we can root our device. This is a basic development

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Try wiping and flashing ftf and then unlocking bootloader or

repair it via Sony pc companion and then try unlocking

After unlocking bootloader the key is add to the trim area so that the bootloader allows flashing other kernel

Don't flash any locked bootloader

There is even no need of locking bootloader as now the DRM keys are wiped and you will not regain your warranty
[Sony Xperia E1] Alte.78:
Can I kindly ask you to

1. Upload your kernel somewhere so that i could give a try and

2. Describe me in some detail how you created it?

If it really gets booted then will get root in a few hours and recovery some time later.
[Sony Xperia E1] K4sh:
1. As I had said this is just a stock kernel so no need of giving it a try

2. You can Google how to compile recovery and adding it to stock kernel you will find your answers
[Sony Xperia E1] :
Still can't unlock. In Service info: "bootloader unlock allowed" status is "yes"

Flashtool: "Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked" :confused:

Have done almost everything, wiping, factoty reset, install firmware with pc companion, downgrading firmware. It won't help.

Can the E1 officially unlocked anyway?
[Sony Xperia E1] Dzepar:
[MENTION=5889600]T430_[/MENTION]

Did you try this

If it saying "yes" you can unlocked.
[Sony Xperia E1] :
It says "bootloader unlock allowed" status is "yes"

So that means it can unlocked I assume.

I have used that method in your link as many other tools and also adb fastboot, first:

WRITING OK

but then errors like: remote error

command not alowed

not saving file path not found or when I try hotboot a kernel: no such device

In Flashtool fastboot it is because it's not yet unlocked I assume.

But the official way to unlock is surely not working for me:(

What is that "file path not found" error, where does it save the unlocked data for unlocking exactly then?

It's getting frustrating.

Previously I unlocked official way(Flashtool)

Xperia Sola

Xperia Go

[Sony Xperia E1] K4sh:
Try unlocking via fastboot.exe and put command

Hi all, i just bought xperia E1 dual, i'm was trying to unlock bootloader using fastboot, it's works but when i reboot into system it get bootloop, i reflash the rom but it get relock, is there any solution

Sorry bad english
[Sony Xperia E1] :
Hi, I get bootloop after unlock also. I have E1(single).

Nothing works for me to get it unlocked.
[Sony Xperia E1] gymfreak7855:
Hey guys! Two things, does anyone know if and where we can download AOSP builds for the E1?

Second thing... I'm sick and tired of waiting for someone else to kick E1 development into gear... so I'm going to try do something about it with the limited experience I have. After my uni exams finish I am going to attempt to build an AOSP rom for this phone with root access. It seems the only way we're going to be able to root this device is by flashing pre-rooted roms.

I'll do my best, but absolutely no promises and if this goes ahead and I am successful, remember I am not responsible for what this may do to your device. :) I shall link my github repo's once I have gotten this thing set up :)

Our phone work under settings msm8610, however, the default configuration of the kernel does not boot, I had to change the settings for it to start with a configuration "default", but can not remember which I did, I've done many tests I've lost count and now I've run out of ideas, other than that the tutorials that are on limited and my kernel level programming are rather low, still, do not get implanting modificacions, serious DooMLoRD our only salvation, if he knows fly this topic.

Check this out i found the cmdline for my phone. Currently using android 4.4 also check the sony github it has kernel version 3.5.0 with msm8610 we should be able to add in the custom modules and have android 4.4 boot with custom kernel no problem. Also I will try this just wanted to let you all know. BTW with the extract_elf_ramdisk i think i might be able to use the same boot ramdisk.

Here is what the extract_elf_ramdisk kernel should do

when phone is turned on it checks for the keypress, then if it is detected the boot ramdisk is replaced with the recovery ramdisk therefore booting the recovery. If the button is not pressed then the device boots normal. it is a combined root boot kernel. now that I have found the cmdline i should not have a problem with booting it. also since it just uses 2 ramdisk in the boot area we can use the stock kernel images.

Combined root structure

image (stock kernel.elf.image)

ramdisk

root

sbin

init

ramdisk (stock kernel.elf.ramdisk.gz)

recovery_ramdisk (CWM)

3 (stock kernel.elf.3)
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Nice find, Dude! Hope someday we can have CM on our phone
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
yeah hopefully other people can but my bootloader is not unlockable, in other words it is impossible for me to get that stuff :(

On top of what i already mentioned in this post it turns out that the only added module to the kernel is the wifi module. On another oint check out the /proc/misc our devices use ion. I noticed that in one of the device trees created by sony that BOARD_USE_ION is listed, just though that might help as well.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I still have warranty for this phone. If I unlock my bootloader, they will find out that I have unlocked my bootloader once. I would try it really, but unfortunetly if something happens to it I have to buy a new phone

[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
This is a touch recovery mode, and not permament

It erased my root and this CWM
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
But it's better than nothing.. Can we actually flash anything with it, or any apps or something?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Hmm, it seems like changing the Android Codename from REL to L will cause the device to not start (Sony Logo, then a white screen for a ms, then the Sony logo glitches out and the phone becomes frozen or not useable. I could only fix the phone by reflashing it.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I'm not a dev, but maybe the kernel calls specific data. If it is missing, then the phone refuses to work, such as not being able to boot. If anyone have patience, maybe someone could rename the M2's files to E1, it has the same CPU aka. Cortex A7.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Well, that would be great! I wish I would know what does what, or if we would have an Xperia Emulator that could actually kind-of emulate the hardware(boot process / CWM) part too. But can we flash with this CWM method? Because if possible, we're a step closer to CyanogenMod.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Emulators and Physics Devices are not the same. If you made any mistakes you wouldn't be able to see it on the emulator. (Or am I wrong?)
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Hmmm... Well either way, I hope we'll get CyanogenMod on this device soon.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
well now that there is a semi working recovery im gonna go head and build cyanogen mod.
[Sony Xperia E1] Ninoh-FOX:
I've tried the soft-recovery and really does not work well, the partition table file does not match recovery.ftab the phone, the name of the routes are not correct, correcting them and still do not work. as to load the recovery mode does not use the normal command, so you always have to depend on the application. even so, the recovery menu is loaded correctly and both the screen and the volume buttons work well.

however, in terms of loss of root has easy solution, simply edit the file install-recovery.sh in /system /etc/ as follows:

#! /system/bin/sh

# If you're implementing this in a custom kernel/firmware,

# I suggest you use a different script name, and add a service

# to launch it from init.rc

# Launches SuperSu in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.

# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unlees SELinux+Enforcing.

# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead

/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &

# Some apps like to run stuff from this script a well, that will

# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file

# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, white there instead.

/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh

#soft recovey

stop

cat /dev/input/event5 > /dev/keycheck & sleep 3

kill -9 $!

if [ -s /dev/keycheck -o -e /cache/recovery/command ]; then

mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

mount -o remount,rw /system

mkdir /tmp

busybox cp -r /system/media/res /recovery

else

start

fi

regarding recovery keys file found in /system/media/rest/ seems to work well.

this is just a start but it seems that slowly start to get interested in this phone.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
We also cannot format the system partition or even overwrite system files due to the fact that the system is pre-mounted. The system is where the recovery is stored, therefore we cannot overwrite our system with cyanogenmod :(

I tried to port cyanogenmod from zte open c but it failed, it booted but the system files did not overwrite due to read only filesystem. I got if we can find a way to recount the system partition as rw then I can continue but since the recovery is stored there it will corrupt it when remounting from inside recovery.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Without the Source code we can't do anything. The source code only released for 4.3, but there is no files for 4.4.2 yet.

That's why I said we should look at the in-development Cyanogenmod for M2. The phones are similar. Cortex-A7, i believe.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
And so I don't think there ever will be.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
has noone taken a look at the "zte open c"... Its the same ****ing phone.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Wow. Never heard of it until now.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
It's not running Android, and so probably has a different file structure.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
the HARDWARE is the same that's all that matters. we can use its android brother the kis3, the zte open c is the firefox os version of the phone but the kis3 is the android version of it. BTW my screen broke so now I'm only here to help. http://www.modaco.com/topic/373214-devrom1210-cyanogenmod-11-android-444-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/

BTW we still have no access to overwrite system files from the touch recovery so until we have a bootable recovery it is pointless.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
It probably has Cyanogenmod already.

It may sound Ridicilous, but have you tried to place the recovery "somewhere" else? Like, there's a lot of Foldermount applications, if we can pinpoint the folder (for example in the SD Card), and make some changes to the system maybe it would work.
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
the recovery executable is placed inside of /system/bin and check my last post i made reference to the cyanogenmod 11 link for the zte open c/kis3
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Well then I guess there's no other way around. I remember when I had my Xperia X8 i flashed several roms using Flashtool, is it not possible or i'm memorizing it badly?
[Sony Xperia E1] Ninoh-FOX:
I boot the recovery for zte opec c, but it is not run in our phone
[Sony Xperia E1] camvar97:
The recovery will obviously be different I was referring to the system... only the system remains the same. The recovery uses different inits and boot file to launch expecially since you are trying to run zte recovery inits from a sony. Also I have fixed my screen somehow the internal connector had gotten detached.

[Sony Xperia E1] echo96:
yes it is. i've trying every single rooting method I could without interfere any kernel stuff, nothing is work. my advice is do not update to 20.1.A.2.13 firmware for now, until another folks build an awesome root method that could break this down :mad:

I can confirm that ROOT is not working. What does this firmware has to do with the phone? I haven't noticed any speed, or changes. Other than that I can't root my phone.

[Sony Xperia E1] arcmark:
do i have to download the ftf for the latest firmware to flash it back after rooting with the old firmware??

4. Root phone

5. Reflash new kernel only

6. Reboot phone.

[Sony Xperia E1] urmanio23:
You are right, this upgrade was just to fix the root on the device, nothing more all the known bugs are still there so there is nothing new nor interesting going on. Rumor is that there will be an update that fixes issues but I doubt it.
