Credits
DoomLord : many thanks to him for its kernel and all his scripts.
championswimmer and sminki for their help
FreeXperia team for their work on CM

makes it perfectly start does not make any errors
greetings and thanks

yes it boots!
(maybe you can help with my Question here )

Hey, I also have tested several times to include recovery, but withut succes, didn't get any further then a booting kernel without recovery or vibration and LED on to enter recovery but no entering recovery and kernel that doesn't boot.
Please pm me if you want to work together, I saw your kernel is from ICX team? I know nick very well so I'd would be a pleasure to work with you too

it has menu driven process to extract and repack kernel.elf (ramdisk also can be extracted and packed )

Welcome Champ, good to see you mate.
I will leave the thread here as knowing you, you will have a kernel ready for us in a few hours.:fingers-crossed:

thanks for the test guys... so now i'm diving into including recovery....
good to know i could pull off kernel.elf editing in my first attempt lol
@colossus if not in hours, then definitely within 1 or 2 days
EDIT :
can someone send me the kernel.elf from FXP122 cm9 ??
will save me the time to download the whole ROM

This is sweet, good job!!

cool.. well that's a hell of a lot easier than the manual route I was taking. This was my goal, but for personal rather than pseudo "xda glory" as I'm working with DooM's stuff I didn't feel right posting it without his permission, but he's probably too busy to care
go for it championswimmer :victory:

Excuse my noob-ish question, but... what's the difference between a 'stock' kernel with recovery and a completely custom kernel like DoomLord's? Is it to do with core frequencies/governors?

Frequencies and governors are one possible customicing for kernels, for the most users the most important thing. also Kernel modifing can allows you init.d support, undervoltscripts and also allows (or denies) MSC support... and, for shure, clean out some tings, make things more efficiently and and and... a dev is nearly totaly free to create a very customiced kernel with or without special Driver support or so

using someone's work just because 'he's too busy to care' is not the aim which we at xda strive for ...
i've already talked with Doomlord regarding using his recovery... and as long as I clearly mention it's his work and provide links back to his thread, he has no issues with anyone else using it...
(and i'll surely do that ^^ when i release a kernel containing his recovery, if i ever do that)

[Kernel][Kexec][aromaKLflasher] Kernel Lighter (KL) Beta 11[Change Kernel WITHOUT PC]

Please Don't Quote This Post,
It's Just way too big and would make any comment look stupid,
Thanks
Just When You Thought Your Favourite Dev Is Out Of Ideas... He Comes Up With This
ok so alot are complaining how we can't flash kernel away from the pc among other things (which ill get to later ), (mostly @One-X-master)
so i looked for a way to get around this and found Kexec as the answer.
Wiki said:
In computing, kexec (kernel execution) is a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows "live" booting of a new kernel "over" the currently running kernel. kexec skips the bootloader stage (hardware initialization phase by the firmware or BIOS) and directly loads the new kernel into memory, where it starts executing immediately. This avoids the long times associated with a full reboot,and can help systems to meet high-availability requirements by minimizing downtime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, with that comes managing online hardware which is somewhat problematic,
thus that prompted few people to come up with an ingenious solution called Kexec-hardboot.
Kexec-hardboot:​This works by loading the kernel into memory and force restarting the phone with new kernel.​
All of that with some ramdisk tweak allowed me to set a kernel at boot and restart to it,
avoiding having to flash it in the 1st place
Updating the kernel is called flashing..
A Flash is also what precedes Thunder
its also refered to as Lightning, Thus I came up with the name Kernel Lighter
Lighter= To Set Things On Fire/To Ignite (The Kernel)
Thus this is a kernel igniter
I Know, i've got to much time on my hand.
If you have a smart name, please do suggest.​
Special Thanks:​ @Tasssadar: For His N7 Port, which made this port a breeze and for his help in debugging.
@Alex-V: Currently using his kernel as Base Kexec Kernel.
@Androguide.fr: For his recovery-less flash method.
@amarullz: For His AromaFM Source Code.
@LlabTooFeR: For His Stock Kernel.
@faux123: For His Kernel Source.

Something Went Wrong:
Let say the phone wouldnt boot during kernel update after using the app,
the best solution would be to go back to stock kernel, look at the recovery flashable zips in Extras section,
If none seem to fit, try another custom kernel
if you still had no luck booting, you should try flashing that kernel through fastboot and see if it makes any difference.​
Warning!!
Note: All the zips provided are flashable through both The App & Recovery... but I recommend recovery
BUT DON'T FLASH THE KEXEC (KL.Zeus.img) KERNEL THROUGH THE APP or Recovery,
as it will continuously boot itself over and over and over again.​

i made a small typo in one of the files..
after flashing zip
do this
adb shell
mount /data -o rw
echo /data/boot/Kernels/Stock/boot.img-zImage>/data/boot/kernel
echo /data/boot/Kernels/Stock/boot.img-ramdisk.gz>/data/boot/ramdisk

this works on both sense 5 and 4+
i had this running for almost a week now on sense 4+
and just moved to sense 5 and thought it will be a good time to release this.
The Stock kernel comes from sense 5 ROM
I know, but back to 4.1.1 is not a solution for me (Sense 5 is the dealbreaker with AOSP ROMs )
Another Question, if i change to AOSP, it will work too? or must we flash (an not realeased) Kexec AOSP kernel? (i ask not for me, i ask for everyone on AOSP with ORD xD )

you dont have to go back to 4.1.1, this will work with sense 5 rom
if you want to use AOSP you must follow the custom kernel guide.
Ahh, (my english is bad..) i think we misunderstand each other, i asked for an Sense 5 kernel.zip to try your "Flash kernel in Recovery" Solution, it exists not so many Kernel.zip with the "Flash Kernel Script" to flash the kernel in recovery... I hope its clear what i mean
this wiil be work on maximus 21 ?
Yes

im not 100% sure, but if you're looking for the zip, its in the 2nd post
the 1st time you must flash the kernel through fastboot AND zip through recovery,
later i will make an app that will work to replace kernels.
but even that all will require 1 flash through fastboot.
NOTE:
the zip contains to kernel, one that you flash in fastboot
one that will be copied to /data/boot/
the 1st is kexec which will boot the one in /data/boot/
Not clear enough xD, this (the kernel.zip) was not a request to you, it was an request to somebody to make me a flashable kernel zip, as an example repacked Alex-V kernel for Sense 5, to test this.
Its late here, so my explanation will suffer, sorry for that.

so far as far as i hear,
only trips kernel work with sense 5
Thanks, sorry for my poor english.

EDIT: Now we can flash kernel without a PC, testet and it worked.
So, we can flash kernels through the rom itself by replacing boot.img in data/boot and reboot, can't we ?

hi @Phil3759,
firstly welcome to the Z1 forums!
the kernel image you posted will not boot on any device as it misses the crucial device tree files... here are detailed instructions on how to build bootable kernels for many Xperia device since 2011:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447310
I have fixed this by integrating the ramdisk with stock FW 290 (android 4.3) so that people can test out this recovery..
download link for fixed image is:
http://d-h.st/Iz2
BTW me and my colleague @Napstar have worked on similar "Advanced recovery" before (it was released some time in late 2011/early 2012):
our sources have also been released quite some time back:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485829
but i discontinued work on it as i got busy with personal work
I would recommend getting in touch with @Napstar, may be we can collaborate for some bigger things
also another thing... since I have worked on multi-recoveries in my kernels, i had 4 recoveries in my X10 kernel way back in septmber 2011!!, and since you are actively developing this advanced recovery, do i have your permission to integrate this recovery in my DooMKernel? (I have made my DooMKernel for close to 21 devices from various vendors Sony, HTC, Samsung, Huawei, Kindle, etc; currently I actively support only 4 devices though: Xperia Z1, Z, SP & T)
note to users:
if you want to test out this recovery then you need to HOTBOOT this kernel:
Code:
fastboot boot kernel.img

DooMLoRD

Yes, I looked at your amazing work. TWRP-ifying CWM is just amazing
However, the codes we use diverge too much, but yes, why not, collaboration can be always welcome. It just take a big effort to start so that each one familiarizes with other's code
Obviously you can use and repack any of my files to your wish
I also should added a note that this is a sample for devs to use it at their wish, like I do for Xperia Z. I knew well that it won't boot any stock ROM. Thought it would boot cm-11.0 roms though...
Anything I have to do when compiling to make it at least boot cm-11.0?
If you agree, I will add your recovery.img to goo.im instead of actual one + add full credits in OP

well @Napstar is currently working on something new please get in touch with him, he is busy with his PhD work but I am sure he can find out some time
it wont even boot on any Z1 irrespective of ROM... actually the kernel formats for Sony devices vary A LOT! they are not using standard boot.img format... and anyways especially for the msm8974 board (and beyond) the new device tree format will be used... its a bit tricky to explain but Krab has a good tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469421
sure go ahead... u can link the recovery.img where ever u want i just repacked ur ramdisk with the correct zImage & dt.img

just extract the archive, replace the ramdisk.cpio.gz with new compressed ramdisk and run makeit.sh

I took a look at your script
I was aware of the dt.img and already use it for Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014 from Samsung and on many of the new LG devices
Actually, cm-11.0 build tree is fixed to use a custom bootimg make file:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_rhine-common/blob/cm-11.0/custombootimg.mk#L56
The dt.img is kernel specific and is built along the zImage as you surely know. When compiling cm-11.0 boot.img, the zImage and matching dt.img are compiled and repacked using custombootimg.mk
Unpacking your fixed recovery.img I see the only changes are the dt.img and zImage to be able to use with stock ROMs. That's great and most people would prefer it that way
However, I am still unsure why you say that my original release won't boot a cm-11.0 ROM? Is it mandatory to have the kernel built along the ROM ? I do not think else your repack with zImage would work only on one specific ROM
Hope you can enlighten me on that

Afternoon chaps,
Just wanted to give this a whirl as i've used your recoveries before, so out of the two which are on the download section, which one should work on 4.2.2, with a locked bootloader?
Cheers m8 an glad you've made it onto the Z1
@Phil3759
For some reason on locked bootloader devices, while the texfat module has been loaded, I'm unable to get philz touch to mount any exFAT sdcard unless I change the extra.fstab line for it from 'auto' to 'texfat' ... any way to get this working normal again?

The honami version is compiled without minivold support for exfat modules. It will only work with fuse

You can try to use the yuga minivold binary instead. If it is ok and you want to add support it officially with updates, I will do like yuga and enable the exfat flag
hey I have the Xperia T & SP can you create a touch version for them too?
i can be your guinea pig for testing

@Phil3759: The backlight is really very dim on locked bootloader devices... setting that to the max setting doesn't change it all that much either.
Anything I can do to test if it's philz touch causing this?

[Multiboot][Recovery] Boot Multiple Roms v2.2 - (twrp2.8.3.0)

[updated 20150104]
version v2.2
migration to twrp2.8.3.0
quickfix for lzma initrd roms
fix baseband not recognized on some tw roms
added f2fs feature to multiboot kernel for future versions..
moved qemu tools to sdcard to free space
[updated 20150101]
version v2.13
lollipop support
Hi all,
This dev thread is to continue the multiboot thread that I starded few months ago in general section.
To read history of the project you can take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577211
With Multiboot, you can launch any ROM from your internal card or your external sdcard. It is a TWRP recovery ROM modified to add this feature.
This feature is possible thank's to kexec-hardboot method created by mkasic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266827).
I adapted this method to be able to apply it quite easily on any android device.
This method includes few pieces of software ( sources will be published) :
kexec-hardboot : kernel patch from mkasic
hardboot-reserve : new kernel patch
kload-hardboot : new userspace program
Next part of the method is an on the fly modification of initrd ramdisk before injecting new kernel/initrd. Early versions of multiboot (before v1.2) were simply modify [on fs] section of init.rc to replace original block devices ( mmcblk0p14, mmcblk0p15 etc ) by loop devices pointing to img files.
Since Multiboot v1.2, a new method is used to replace original filesystems : a script replace original init binary, his goal is to prepare all the filesytems before launching original init.
All this method is done by shell scripts that you can check in /sbin and /multiboot directories when booted into recovery.
Creating img files (raw) is very efficient on internal sdcard as this card is formatted ext4 and img files can be thin provisiionnig ( sparse files ).
Unfortunaltely, external sdcard are offently fat32 or exfat formated. Those filesystems do not support thin provisionning ( note also that multiboot supprot only vfat for the moment ).
Creating img files on vfat filesystems is very long process and consume lot of space.
Version Multiboot V2.1 add support for ubuntu touch 14.04 support ( only img files )
Version .Multiboot V20 introduced a new feature : qcow2 support for external sdcard.
With qcow2 image files, we can create small images which grows only when needed.
You can check some video demonstrating features of multiboot on youtube channel : http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCefO8F4YX6qMQsqpBHTqTqQ
Main advantages of using qcow2 :
thin provisionning
snapshots
compression
liveboot ( livefull if small rom, "livedvd-like" if bigger roms )
Some problem (and solutions) of qcow2 :
need target kernel with nbd support - nbd is very easy to activate when compiling kernels but not already activated on kernels. Decimalman kernels already are compiled with it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226889
Slow speed on standard : speed on qcow2 especially when first installation is not good. To reduce this, livesnap booting mode gives very good speed.
suspend/resume : on tw43 kernels, deepsleep can hang the system. To correct it, their are 2 methods : adding a wakelock or apply a small patch to nbd.c sources.
Some details about qcow2 booting mode :
- standard : qcow2 images are acceded read/write directly on sdcard ( not recommended especially in firsts boot )
- livesnap : qcow2 images are acceded read, writes are done in zram snapshots. commit are done at reboot time : this is the recommended mod. If you install apps, you'd better to reboot first to commit qcow2. Note that if modifications are big, reboot can be long ( few minutes ), be patient. Note also that in this mode, I added a wakelock to fix suspend/reboot of tw roms.
- liveboot : same that livesnap but without commit - Same than a LiveCD in linux world. reboot speed is regular
- fulllive : only for small roms ( say ~500M ). All qcow2 are copied to zram at boot and mounted from memory. No internal/external card needed. very good speed.
- livesnap2 : same than livesnap but without wakelock. Best for speed and battery. Working except tw43. Download my modified dkp kernel to use this option on tw43 roms.
Important recommendations :
- when choosing qcow2, always choose the right nbd kernel as the last zip to install ( and don't reboot after Aroma installer )
take dkp kernels for tw43 and kk4.4.2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226889
or kernels I compiled
- please follow videos on youtube​
Here are last video I did to demonstrate qcow2 features. Some parts of video are boring ( during compression or commit ) but I wanted to let it go live to give an idea of processing times.

Love your work Philippe. This has been amazing to use for testing out multiple roms and still maintaining my daily driver. I'm a crack flasher so its nice having the options to constantly change.

Totally forgot about this, I'll have NBD included in my next kernel so this can work
this is awesome ! i been looking for muilt-boot since i got an S3 !
it's working great!
Awesome!
Now does it matter what bootloader you're on for this?
i want to try this... but the bandwidth Nazi's at work wont let me download and watch YouTube videos. would the main ROM need to be on the internal memory? or would it matter? just wondering.
Do these videos have audio? kinda hard to follow... or it just my laptop?
Restore
Hello,
Since I install the V2.0 I can't restore my new backup. I can restore the backup make before V2.0 installation but the one made with V2.0 multiboot.
Restore Failed
I try with different TWRP 2.6.3.1 and 2.7.0
Do you have and idea how to fix that.
Thanks

There is no prerequisite about bootloaders versions. Just be sure that your bootloader is unlocked ( I mean that you can install custom recovery images - for example, verizon 4.3 ota update locked the bootloader )

As multiboot feature does not have relation with this part of twrp, not sure if it is linked with multiboot.

ubuntu touch trusty in progress
Hi all,
Just to give a small news.
I started try to port latest ubuntu touch release (trusty) and to integrate it to multiboot.
Now, at least, I can boot on it, get the GUI, touchscreen, wifi, rotation, battery level and on/off button working.
( everything else not working : no sound, no phone, no gps etc... )
But at least, it is "usable" to play with it... Also, I integrated it to multiboot.
Don't know if you want to try that at this stage ( not sure than I can go further and get other things to work....)
Just tell me, I will package this week-end a multiboot v2.01 and ubuntu_touch_trusty_d2att.zip.

Hi codemonkey98, the answer is possibly yes.
In fact, I succeeded to make cellular data work under my ubuntu touch port ( Bell carrier) .
Just have to confirm this first experimental results - I can surf internet with cell data ( without wifi ).
However, phone line is still not working.
[edit] Also sent and received SMS, so this is working also.

I'd be very interested in testing the very alpha versions of this, as long as they're d2att or d2lte. best of luck man, i'm looking out for great stuff from you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6GdvUfNppE In this video I see that you booted in the ROM w/o flashing gapps along w/ flashing the ROM ... is that necessary for this to work?
If you need a tester for anything, I'm always available.

Hi shekinahsmoke, no it is not necessary at all. It's better to install all zip in one shot, but I did this demo to show that you can come back to multiboot, select an already created rom and apply another zip ( gapps in this example ) even after first installation.

Hi codemonkey98 and rani9990, thank's for your future help on testing. I am now able to call and be called . I fixed partially audio too. Calling ring and microphone during call are now ok, only incoming audio is problematic ( because exit from speaker and not earphone ).
Fall-back temporarly solution is to plug headset, in this case everything is fine during phone calls.
Now, I will start to prepare version 2.1 of multiboot to support this ubuntu touch and I will probalby open a dev thread dedicated to this ubuntu touch 14.04 when I finish first package ( this we or start of next week ).

cocafe mentioned that the wifi modules has to be original from stock ROM, so i replaced them before flashing the kernel, but wifi does not turn on.
thank you for reporting this problem, it should be resolved next release.

Only .108 or also .157?

checked your stock wlan zip file, there is something wrong.

p.s. i replaced all files in the zip with the original from my ROM

In CoCore-Z-r27-wlan-modul, pronto_wlan is not included in the zip file, only customize prima's wlan.ko. So my stock wlan zip file, no need to re-flash pronto_wlan. cocafe will try to port new pronto_wlan in the next time.

The only thing I noticed is that the notification light turns white when the battery is full
Normal it's green
Don't know if it's I bug but I noticed it
It's not a bug. Cocafe made it so the led will notify you of the real eoc. You can change the led color though here I believe "/sys/kernel/qpnp-charger/eoc_led"
i tried some scripts from cocafes original post HERE.
But none of the scripts work using SManager. Why?
always error: "No such file or directory ...."
but these files / directories are there (checked it with RootExporer) -DAMN
And if the scripts don´t work, there is no profit compared to DoomKernel...

Hi to all..
Realy thanks.
Try to get a good working kernel is not realy easy.
The most problem is my time.
I compile a working kernel, but not have the time to fix all the issues.
So i need you help.
You is interesst to help me to test the kernel and provide me the log files?
Hi to all..
The Kernel is ready.

Hi to all..

I would love to
I am far away from my computer.... In case of bootloop... Will try it when I am back home??
Can you let me do some testing. I got plenty for time today.
Hi...so now its kernel time
Sorry for my second delay.
This is my test kernel for all who likes to test it.
You have to go to recovery and flash it
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR BOOT Partition!!
So you can flash back yout stock kernel
If you flash back boot partition , you have to rename inside /system/lib/modules the texfat.old to texfat.ko. This is the stock texfat module which we cant use for custom kernel for now.

Correct some changes..
I've just installed your V2 with no problems at all... I had to reboot twice for magisk to pass safety net.. Everything seems to be working OK... What differences should I be noticing?
Thanks for your hard work on this kernel.
. I have been rooting phones for about 12 years now and I am always always impressed with the time and skill you guys put in...
Thanks again
