[SuperR Kitchen] bigrammy:
Hi [MENTION=5787964]SuperR.[/MENTION]

I finally got around to testing the Kitchen and thought I would try it on my Xperia C4 (Mediatek mt6752). :good:

This device uses kernel.elf instead of boot.img but the kitchen does say or kernel.elf so I assume it's supported :confused:

I am on the latest kitchen version v1.0.1.3 with a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64bit The dependencies check seemed to complete with no flags or warnings. :good:

system.img unpacked fine but the kernel.elf failed it seems. :confused:

Detecting by-name from kernel.elf ...
mv: cannot stat ‘2’: No such file or directory
/home/bigrammy/Desktop/superr/superr: line 3355: /home/bigrammy/Desktop/superr/superr_Xperia_C4_E53xx/bootimg/ramdisk_elf: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat ‘file_contexts’: No such file or directory

I checked the ramdisk folder but it was empty. I clicked the ramdisk_elf.gz but "Archive Manager" failed to open it :(

So not sure if I am missing something :confused:

PS: gzip is installed.

EDIT:

It may be a problem with the actual kernel.elf or some weird linux permissions thingy :eek:

I just tried to unpack it manually with a method I know works on windows so thought I would try it on linux

I will reboot to windows and check it there. :rolleyes:
