I heard that renaming kernel.elf to boot.img will flash it through fastboot method is that true? or need any more modifications to flash it via flashtool

If you have unlocked bootloader, yes. Otherwise, no. With locked bootloader the only thing you can do in fastboot mode is getting version and passing unlock key

i renamed kernel.elf to boot.img and try to flash via flashtool fastboot method and i get Failed( image is not a boot image)
Just renaming won't work, you need to convert kernel.elf into a proper .img file. If I remember correctly, there was a thread explaining how to do that somewhere, but I couldn't find it now...
any one else know how to convert that kernel.elf to boot.img

Flashtool:

what software do i use to unpack doomlords kernel?:
It is usually a .IMG file that you flash using Fastboot.exe (there's many guide in the forums on this, just have a search around)
how do i flash back to stock rom, ive installed flashtool, now do i need to download another rom? also i still cant find anything on how to unpack doomlords kernel :/ sorry for all questions im just a noob ha.

You don't unpack the kernel. Search the development forum for the correct .ftf file that corresponds to your phone model.
Then, find a guide to using fastboot. That will tell you how to use the kernel.

Need to ask given the limited information you've provided. Is the kernel in the same folder as your fastboot.exe?
I solved the problem. My kernel boot was named boot.img
thanks anyway for the help
Find someone who can do boot.img and recovery for xperiu L1
Custom recovery isn't required if you use Magisk to root, but custom kernel is no exception.
I tried to modify stock kernel with Magisk Manager but it failed.
Currently I don't have Linux PC so building custom kernel may be a problem.

Use Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis to convert the boot.elf (boot.img) and fotakernel.elf (recovery.img) to standard aosp .img format then test using fastboot (Bootloader must be unlocked) Check out other "mediatek" xperia device threads also.
I tried before.
It didn't work as it cannot unpack the boot.img extracted using Flashtool sin converter
@bigrammy
Do you help a create boot.img And recovery.img

Upload the boot.sin and fotakernel.sin only to a NO spam file host like mega or G-drive and I will take a look when I get some time.

Actually, you can download full ROM using Flashtool with xperifirm, and extract boot and recovery using SIN extractor.
Currently I am at work and I will upload them to android file host later Monday

Did you Really type that. :laugh: :laugh:
I have enough #***# on my PC without adding even more unnecessary Gig's for a device I don't even own.
As you will know there are many variants country to country single sim dual sim etc so I will need the boot from the testers variant and not just one I made guess at.

Here is the boot.img to test.
It has not been modified in anyway so encryption and verity are still enabled as they are in the stock .elf
IF it boots then we will move on.
Bootloader unlock is required just for clarity and anyone thinking of testing it.
I have successfully modified the kernel and mine is rooted.
The next one will be dual SIM version and it will come later.

Use Notepad ++ to edit default.prop
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
Save and repack.
That's it.

So I need not of wasted my time after all
I am well aware of how to root a kernel and do all things regarding sony and mediatek and I think you somehow got your wires crossed.
I suggested to you how to modify the kernel.elf but you said you tried and failed that's why I offered to HELP I don't even have the L1 hence the reason for not going for the full on modification of the kernel until it was fully tested.
Anyway now your underway I will leave you all to get on with it.
Good Luck :good:
Unfortunately, I am still unable to make TWRP for L1 at this time.
Moreover, it appears that modified stock image doesn't work for other L1 variations, and all I have is US version. I uploaded all three variations and see the results.
It looks like SIM cannot be read with modified image.
