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)

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3 (downloads + DIY How-to) [for CM10/AOKP/PAC-man]

DISCLAIMER: I own Xperia X10, Xperia J, Xperia Tipo, Xperia S and Xperia V, releases of all other phones are not personally tested by me. But since the kernel is the same in FXP/KXP ROMs I presume they would not harm your device in any way
Huge props go to all TeamWIn people like Dees_Troy and bigbiff and everyone else for developing this awesome recovery and lots of thanks to FreeXperia Team (FXP, Kali-, codeworkx, bin4ry,) for maintaining device configs for Xperias
This recovery is embedded into the ramdisk of a normal AOKP 4.1.2 bootimage. The kernels are same as the latest AOKP released by KXP team. These kernels should work with FXP's CM10, and other ROM's based of it (KXP ROM, Pac-man, officialCM10 etc). These kernels will not work on stock/cm7/cm9/blah/blah/any other ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS :
1. Download the zip file for your device (twrp2.4.3-xxxxx.zip)
2. Extract the boot.img from zip on your PC, and copy the whole zip file on device's SDcard.
3. Fastboot the kernel using the terminal command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. To enter recovery, when LED is pink press {vol up for 2012 models} or {vol down for 2011 models}
5. Flash zip that you kept in sdcard from recovery (wifi/OTG/etc will not work without proper modules flashed).
6. Enjoy

you can also see our merged commits to see the precise patch we applied on each repository to be able to build TWRP
http://smartdev.com.pl:8080/#/q/status:merged,n,z
BUILD FROM SOURCE
To build TWRP for your Xperia,
1. merge the patch to enable TWRP on your own device tree (for eg. http://smartdev.com.pl:8080/#/c/239/ for Xperia T)
2. replace /bootable/recovery folder with TWRP (as mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069242)
3. If your build folder is not from CM, switch to CM's build folder (i.e the android_build repo)
4. lunch ; mka bootimage;
PORT TO STOCK/ICS/YOU-FAVOURITE-KERNEL
A boot.img consists of the kernel image and the ramdisk (additionally and optionally RPM.bin and commandline). If you want to use TWRP for some other kernel, you have to do this
1. decompile this boot.img (for 2011 models it's a true boot.img, for 2012 models, it's actually a kernel.elf file renamed to boot.img, so you have to decompile accourdingly. you can use my kernel kitchen to do the same)
2. replace the kernel zImage with the one from the kernel you want to port to
3. replace /sbin/ramdisk.cpio with the "UNCOMPRESSED" ramdisk of the kernel you want to port this to. (usually ramdisk is compressed with gzip i.e. ramdisk.cpio.gz. you need to uncompressed ramdisk image i.e. ramdisk.cpio)
4. do not touch anyother thing
5. pack it up into a boot.img (for 2011) or kernel.elf (for 2012) and fastboot it
============================================================================================
BUGS AND SUPPORT
If you have any problem with this please please please post only on this thread, not on any other thread or not on PM.
Please send me the recovery log wherever possible, and also kmsg/dmesg if you can.
If you need assistance porting TWRP to your kernel, or building from source[only for Xperia phones that I have provided builds for], then also you can post here.

yes! all works except usb mount http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177083 ! but usb mount dont work in your original boot.img. I've downloaded twpr for hikari, unpack it and place there my zImage, rmp and ramdisk.cpio
But I have one question: why repack of TWRP don't work? I just tried unpack ramdisk-recovery.cpio and pack it again to ramdisk.cpio.gz, unpack ramdisk.cpio and reneame it to ramdisk-recovery.cpio, so I have the same file but it don't work How I should pack it?

ramdisk.cpio and ramdisk.cpio.gz are separate things as you understand
ramdisk folder >>>>(pack using cpio)>>> ramdisk.cpio >>>>(compress by gunzip)>>> ramdisk.cpio.gz
the final ramdisk is always compressed as .gz
but it the ramdisk comtains other ramdisks inside it then those should not be compressed they should just be ramdisk.cpio
(my kitchen does not have an option of actually just making cpio. it makes cpio.gz in one step, u have to manually extract the cpio from the gz afterwards)

yes, I know it. I wanted to tell, that if I extract ramdisk-recovery.cpio and change, for example, logo.rle, then pack it back to .gz and extract from .gz my new ramdisk-recovery.cpio, then pack to .gz full ramdisk (sbin init logo.rle) and build kernel.elf, kernel don't work. If nothing do with ramdisk-recovery.cpio all work fine

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
regards,
DooMLoRD

Many thanks for your support
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
that should build a bootable boot.img for Z1 (honami)

That's a lot
I will take a look at it or maybe just provide recovery.zip installer so that interested devs can repack, or even the ramdisk
Huge thanks
I will get in touch with Napster :good:

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
https://github.com/PhilZ-cwm6/philz_touch_cwm6/blob/cm-11.0/boardconfig/BoardConfig.mk#L520
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

Feel free to put your magic if needed :angel:

@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?

I use this path:
Code:
/sys/class/leds/wled:backlight/brightness
Since the repack was done using a stock kernel, not sure if it still matches!

try to set brightness in recovery gui, then:

Post the value here, maybe you're getting some crap because I did not properly escape those ":"

Done that:

10
~ # cat "/sys/class/leds/wled:backlight/brightness"
255
First one is from the screen/power save mode, the second is when fully lit... but still the screen is only half as bright or maybe even less then half compared to using the XZ philz ...

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.

Nice to see another stock based kernel around!
Only .108 or also .157?

Thanks for the information. Just like DooMKernel, my goal is no need to compile wlan module. If I am not luck, I will build the wlan module in this weekend.

Changelog :
wlan is working

If you want back to stock kernel, remember reboot to recovery and flash stock wife modules.

funny...
btw will check this kernel
checked your stock wlan zip file, there is something wrong.
the wlan file is wrong named (the right name is pronto_wlan) and would be flashed into /system/lib/modules
but it has to be flashed into /system/lib/modules/pronto
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.

btw flashed new build from today and wifi works like a charm.
thx

Thanks for this kernel
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...

it should work if you type these scripts. In my opinion, DoomKernel is the best custom kernel, bu nice to see another stock based kernel around.

I found this kernel seems not to support exFAT. May you fix that?
btw, thx for modifying this kernel for Z1C. It's amazing !!

why do you use exFAT format?

get "MLUSB Mounter" from the play store, you can use the USB hard drive (formatted NTFS, exFAT).
