Xperia recovery manager app

Ive downloaded and im using the twrp image,which is working absolutely fine through the Xperia Recovery Manager app (unfortunately not free in the Play store) but a good app to have on your ZR's... I renamed the FOTAkernel image and renamed it to twrp.img and placed it in root/system/data/media/0/twrpxperia folder and flashed through the app.. Works abolutely fine without anything else being done... Massive thanks to you all for this.. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] v7:
Have u tried flashing a dogo rom from that recovery?

Does it work?
[Sony Xperia ZR] uncomment:
If anyone got trouble in TWRP when install rom for dogo (with device check before install),

try TWRP edited by me below and reflash rom
[Sony Xperia ZR] v7:
Added to OP :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
Yes mate, confirmed working... To test i wiped the cache/dalvik etc and flashed resurrection port including gapps etc...

set the phone up, wiped and flashed again with xenius9's latest build before flashing back to validus.. All working as it should.
[Sony Xperia ZR] rafi952:
i don't understand how to do it. a youtube video tutorial would have been better
[Sony Xperia ZR] ariftwister:
Thanks.. How do I revert to original??
[Sony Xperia ZR] v7:
You can use Xperia Recovery Manager to clear fotakernel partition.

Tapped from my furious ZR ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] ariftwister:
Its paid app, currently my debit card doesn't work. Can you tell the Terminal commands ??
[Sony Xperia ZR] aj1324:
If you have used flash tool to flash a stock rom image, follow the procedure to flash the stock rom. When you get to the page in which you select the components to flash, deselect everything except for FOTAKernel, and flash.
[Sony Xperia ZR] vergaril:
Can I use this method to stock rom?
[Sony Xperia ZR] ariftwister:
No it wont. I already tried.
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
hi how can i enter flashmode with this recovery? thx.
[Sony Xperia ZR] v7:
You cannot enter flashmode with recovery.

Turn off the phone,hold VOL+ while connecting to PC.You'll see a green notification light.

Done!

Edit:VOL- .Was not focused :p
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
thx for quick reply, but it just starts charging, tried vol - as well, no go....

edit: SORRY! stupid me, i used a charging only microusb cable : P

[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I've made an IMG here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3slVcYWwXQ-NEpnSGJoMDBwRVU/view?usp=sharing

The f2fs is included and the phone boots and changes the format...

But please read here before downloading: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705

IMPORTANT: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/f2fs-cache-data-tested-cm12-zl-possibly-t3056740

THIS IS FOR TESTING ONLY!!

If you don't know what this is, don't go near it...

Tested on stockish 5.0.2 but i used Xperia Recovery manager by Championswimmer to install to FOTA...

Test please and i'll do the same...
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
thx! but after flashing, it gets into some textual very rudimentary recovery??
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I'm not sure what you mean? I have this installed and as i said, i flashed the img with Xperia recovery manager.. I am currently on resurrection remix by uncomment but all cm12 should be able to change to f2fs..

Anything else ie stock ROM might not be able to change unless supported by kernel.. If at all

Works for me..

Back up Internal memory as it will be wiped by converting!

Convert to f2fs by pressingGo to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select the desired partition > Repair or change filesystem > Change filesystem > f2fs

Be careful with system.. It might brick your phone if you attempt to convert.

I may have uploaded the wrong img.. here is the correct image with my apologies.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3slVcYWwXQ-WVFVNVBZZVplUlU/view?usp=sharing
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
like this...

i use dd tonweite tp fotakernel
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
Brother, i have never got that to work on my zr... Better use twrp.. Its more developed and trouble free..

What ROm you on?
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
bro, i always use twrp, and the dd method was on p.1 of this thread.

i am on cm12
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I'm still not sure what you mean... This is a recovery and you need a way to install it.. It's not a kernel just recovery brother.. And it works just fine for our ZR if on cm 12 after march this year thanks to qsnc...
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
did you read my post bro? dd is a way to install the recovery to fota. see page 1 of this thread and the pages you linked to...

i used dd to install 2.8.5 just fine on my zr, but those 2.8.6 w/f2fs just doesn't work give me that screen.
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I understand that bro but i just don't know where the pic you attached comes from... Let's make this a little easier.. Let me know which kernel you are on and i'll do something with that boot.img.. I use xperia recovery manager and this works perfect for me..

EDIT: I have just used the method from p1 and it still install.. I put the fotakernel img in internal memory and ran the command in the emulator.. Install just fine..
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
thank you bro, problem solved, i had to flash this "hack" to make it work.... :D

[Android Themes] kv1dr:
The icon packs depends on system/app you have installed on your phone and not phone itself. It doesn't matter what phone you have, as long as you have android. If you have custom ROM, that have theme engine(e.g. CM12), you can use icons system-wide, if you have launcher that supports icon packs(e.g., Nova), you can use icons on that launcher. Also, supported launchers are in the description of this icon pack on Google Play.

[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
coverage is pretty good in my area (CT), as for LTE, it's been available for me since last March in my home town and LTE is still expanding.

my problem right now is i have a 1st gen GS4 so i am limited on the LTE bands i can use so my speed slows down a bit during peak hours. but off peak i get 25mbit/s down and 6Mbit/s up. i hope when i get a newer phone which support sprint spark LTE (tri band 800MHz, 1.9GHz and 2.5GHz spectrum) then my slowish LTE speeds will improve. IIRC all phones after the 2nd gen GS4 support LTE tri-band.
[Galaxy S6 General] osmosizzz:
going to get the tmobile version, unlock it and use it on cricket (at&T mvno) and solavei (t-Mobile MVNO). The tmobile version will have all of tmobile H+ and LTE bands as well as all of at&T h+ and LTE. also thwe bootloader will likely not be locked. downside is spending the extra money to have it third party unlocked
[Galaxy S6 General] Robert542:
I have a Note 3 on Sprint for my personal line and a Note 4 for my work line on AT&T. My Note 3 on Sprints network consistently has better signal. I am sure others would have different results but where I live Sprint seems to have the better network. This hasn't always been the case though. Turn the clocks back two years and Sprints network was absolutely horrible but now it's on par and in some areas better than other carriers.

I recently updated to the xnph05q update and my root access is loss. I can root it again ofcourse but my question is that do i have to unlock the bootloader again? Is there a way to check if my bootloader is still unlocked? I am asking this because then of course i have to go through a long procedure to back up all my data as ofcourse unlocking the bootloader is going to wipe my phone. Thanx in advance.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Your boot loader won't be locked again. Can you access your custom recovery (TWRP/CWM etc)? If so you just need to flash a SuperSU zip to get root back. If you lost your custom recovery, you can just flash one again, although you will need to connect to a PC to do this.

If you've lost your custom recovery, just use a toolkit like the one below to install one. You can then reboot to recovery and flash a supersu zip (download one first from here http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/). You won't loose any data.

Hi guys...i'm moving all discuttion of MK kernel for stock 4.1.2 from Sami OS thred to here so that Developemnt therad of SamiOS remains clean :)

Kernel & link

latest version with No teraing and almost bug free... here are some changes/review

#version3Latest Version Download

#version4One more version it should work for i9070P & some more features

NOTE : This is not my work , [MENTION=3329816]mkaluza[/MENTION] initiated it for CM and [MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] made it available for Stock 4.1.2 you should thank them both :)

Below is Older version with some bugs mentioned below...so not recommended !

http://www.mediafire.com/?x6gw3cg833x8k51

To install Flash zip in cwm or twrp

Personally I use smartassv2 (more smooth than default dynamic which is more battery friendly ! )

1.2GHz OC

And some init.ds to make UI more smoother...which you can find here

You guys should check mkaluza wikis in github too . Lots of useful info there, especially this:

https://github.com/mkaluza/project-zen/wiki/Janice-performance-settings

and Dynamic governor related wiki:

https://github.com/mkaluza/project-zen/wiki/Dynamic-governor

To all

some more info about MK stock kernel

Ram available for user was 647 MB for me ( 650 i n latest ! :p )

multitasking and app loading was exceptionally better !

to newbies plz don't blindly follow cocore commands/ init.d here bcz there are some changes here..[B].if you don't understand or used to with kernel commands and things , I advised you to stay way from this kernel for little while till final build comes[/B]

you can go for it now ;)

and keep one thing in mind nandroid back up created by phillz recovery won't work with simple CWM ( atleast it didn't work for me) though it works with phillz :p

so if you use this kernel and you need to take backup... flash cocore and do it ...or use temporary CWM ;)

Some discussion

1st one here is about 1st build...so if you wasn't aware of it you can skip this one and go to review directly ;)

it won't work like that in stock 4.1.2 but

anyway [MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] made one more build and it booted ..i tested it...there are some minor bugs in it which i reported and he will make final build and publish it... ( though i didn't get reply yet... may be this is because of time difference and when i reported there should be night :p

here is copy of my final review which i send to him

stock boot animation was working for me

yah it doesn't support CRT but i don't care. and IMO this feature is now worth to waste time :p

yah it's more brighter this is because you are comparing it with cocore not stock kernel ...in cococre auto brightness was lowered !

.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hastalafiesta:
[MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] please put something on github, or at least tell us what have you changed in the kernel, if we collaborate we could have a bugless kernel! [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] can you help us to fix the errors mentioned in the op?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cassiusss:
This is not true.

Official Mk Kernel works with no problem on stock 4.1.2. I've used JB-4.1-stock-CoCore-cwm-6.0.3.4.boot.cpio.gz ramdisk, renamed to boot.cpio.gz and placed in the efs folder. Then installed the kernel 5.4.0 no swap.

I'm comparing it with stock kernel... and it's brighter. I have no doubts.

Boot animation working for me too.

Camera opening makes the screen tearing. (on both PolishVodka and official versions)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
i was talking about 1st release by PolishVodka. not any other official build

and official versson wasn't suppose to be used with stock rom..it may work but there is chance you end up with something bad

if you have no doubt then check with some brightness and illumination test app and you will see stock & this kernel have same brightness level !

Not only camera opening any rotation to screen makes it tears most of times ...

& this thread is not about official MK if you still using it have some problem then you should report it in official thread

They have suggested to use official MK Kernel but you instead have tried to use the ramdisk with the first release of PolishVodka... so that's why your phone failed to boot. First release of PolishVodka will never boot. And that's why he released a second version.

And this second version seems to be nothing else than the official Mk Kernel with included stock ramdisk and some more zram.

Both official and PolishVodka versions act the same.

Ah, and that brightness levels are the same means nothing if the screen is still brighter...

Anyway now i'm using PolishVodka version and i'll be glad to help. ;)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoMonochrome:
Just wanted to say that mentioned bugs maybe not a kernel fault. It's difficult to advice anything especially because it's just reports about lagginess in some games. I'm not a hard gamer too. Maybe you can compare same things on various ROMs.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
Well i'm also not hard gamer..and i gave the examples where bugs was most clear

I took Dolphin browser to show screen tearing while rotation

Then COC for screen goes off during loading ( perhaps this happes in landscape apps only )

And finally TR2 to show jumpyness

But these bug weren't only in this things specifics...one can see jumpy UI in setting also , screen tearing in other apps like one person said in camera on/off

So it's not just about game and rom related bcz with same Rom and cocore any of given bugs is not there !

Anyway i didn't get any reply from PolishVodka since last build so may be he's too busy or may be this is it for this kernel !

[MENTION=4982868]hastalafiesta[/MENTION]

If you have some knowledge about kernel and you wants to continue you should start it from MK kernel Github bcz [MENTION=6416430]Cassiusss[/MENTION] was able to boot it directly on stock by boot.cipo.gz and you can ask PolishVodka if you stuck on boot , about how to fix it :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoMonochrome:
Now got it.

This fix was done especially to fix tearings https://github.com/mkaluza/Samsung_STE_Kernel/commit/834b9be63ae5d9dacee83612fbf582e4a87a329c . I dunno why even with increased LCDCLK freq you still have screen tearings and so on(btw, usage such high frequency may even cause damage to hardware). But as far as I remember, CoCore doesn't have it - maybe you guys, can add LCDCLK management from CoCore and remove mentioned fix - recently I ported this to codina and can confirm that I totally don't have tearings even with original LCDCLK frequency.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishVodka:
Chrono, this commit for LCD management is here now but high LCD freq is still there, so I just reverted original if someone can test now kernel:
