Hey everyone
I have the c1905
I know this must be possible as the ZNXT rom is stock kernel compatible (only one i can find that is though). I've searched but can't seem to find a way around!
My BL is "unlock allowed - no". The problem is i just can't find a way to install a recovery on 4.3.
I can use the install.bat on 4.1.2 + 4.2 to get recovery but can't install ZNXT as it needs 4.3 kernel.
My most recent attempt was to install 4.3 stock and then install 4.1.2 stock using flashtool and excluding the kernel which leaves me unable to boot 4.1.2. I can repeat the procedure using 4.2 for c2005 but i know it's not gonna work.
I found the "SXDXMZ1" rom that was available as pushable and in zip but there's no download links. I've googled it but now had to disinfect my pc as all the links are virused up.
Has anybody got around this or does anyone know of a rom that is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2 stock kernel? I can't seem to find one!

i think if you get some kernel that will compatible for your rom. that's will not be installed correctly too bro, custom kernel need bootloader is on unlocked condition bro. so they can be read and work correctly when in boot time

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't get it!! The ZNXT rom says it's LB/stock kernel compatible and even gives instructions to install on LB/stock kernel . What's the point if there's no way to install it from 4.3?? How do the creators know it's compatible if they can't install it?? And how come i can get recoveries on 4.1.2 and 4.2 if they need unlocked BL? I'm very confused here!

Best i can do is give you the ZNXT image extracted from the zip (attached). It's in there i believe. I had to rezipp it as it exceeded xda size rules
I understand them 4.1.2 + 4.3 recoveries were compiled by certain members who are no longer working on the project But this rom stil claims it works with stock kernel/LB

The one i just posted is for the ZNXT v1.01 which i get error status 7 when trying to install via 4.1.2/4.2 stock. I can't find the one for version 2 which i can install via aroma but wont boot, which i assume is due to it needing 4.3 kernel.
What about this:
@Nicklas Van Dam
I've just started extracting the system.sin of a stock 4.3 ftf firmware as i was gonna try and get recovery from a 4.3 custom rom (possibly from the ZNXT) and put it in the stock rom.
I thought i'd ask first to see if this is a possibility before i carry on and waste my time. In my mind it works if the recovery in ZNXT (if it has one) runs on a stock kernel.
If i'm correct the recoveries in CM roms all rely on the kernel or are built into the kernel so using them would not really be possible......... would it?
This would be my first attempt at anything on this sort of level, i've only rooted and installed custom roms before so sorry if the question is noobish.
That's why I tell you to unlocked boot loader, if you still on lock boot loader you can only modified system not to much , and you can't modified kernel on locked boot loader condition bro. I've been trying that too -_+

Ok, i understand that ICS is just not good for gaming. I have a R800ì root LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Can i still do some flashinf roms, etc etc? I'm new in these things, but i think it's time for me to begin. If i want to keep my bootloader blocked, what can i flash? Is it possible to flash Xperia NXT 1.2 rom, DIxperia 2 rom, TrueAncestor rom, etc etc?
And most important. BEFORE i do anything, is there a way to back up everything EXACTLY as it was, so i can go back to my stock 2.3.4? Thank u for your time guys:good:
Hi, assuming you are rooted, yes you can install some rom that are compatible with locked loaders. The ones you mentioned are all compatible, provided you flash the specific fw that's indicated in each of those rom
You can do a nandroid backup to backup your current rom exactly like it is right now, with cwm. Just download x parts from the market

Thank you, exactly what i needed to hear. Another queations though. Since it 's my understanding that for those roms i also need to change differents firmware (i have stock. 42 now), i would like to know if a nandroid backup include my original firmware (.42).
Ansother thing: with a locked bootloader what i cannot do? Change kernels?
My favorite so far is Gin2JellyBean 1.8.1, i still have my bootloader locked, it has some bugs like weird looking home screen when it's in landscape mode but still very smooth and great looking :silly:

Hi All,
I have a rooted ICS Arc (4.1.B.0.431) with a locked bootloader. What is a good, fast kernel for it ? Thanks in advance.
Call me silly, but you the entire benefit of unlocking your bootloader is the ability to flash custom kernels. Therefore...locked bootloader means no custom kernel.
I'm no guru....so please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong here...

I am unable to update to FW.587 OTA. The update center downloads the update and fails to update upon reboot (get an error here). I suppose my only option due to this is to flash the official .587 kernel. If I need to flash a kernel, why not a 'better' kernel ?
Then U Flash A FTF ,
Because For ME OTA Sucks !
Don't upgrade to .587. Lags too much, I went back to .431.
Kernel-wise, unlock your bootloader then try ArcKnight 3.5.1 or SEGA Kernel V3 Army edition.

Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.
If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

Thats strange..
You are in a Ported JB rom in ur Xperia U.. without a custom kernel you cant flash JB in XU... So probably u should installed a custom kernel... Right ? So u should hav root too....

umm...not really..flashing a kernel has nothing to do with root...you need an unlocked bootloader...not root...i am sure there are root methods available for lower versions of your device...one thing u can do....flash an old kernel for which root method is available(eg : ICS or GB) then after root flash back the JB kernel(stock or custom),upto you/..

Ha ? Custom kernels have auto root and cwm /twrp included my friend.. And the one he telling that experimental kernel for XU JB is already have Autoroot and Cwm recovery...
Did u read his question clearly? According to his comment he is already on JB on XU.. There is no way to install JB on a locked bootloader in XU.. So probably he is in a Unlocked Bootloader and sure with a custom kernel too.. Thats y i told him to flash Experimental kernel v11.c.. Got it?

Custom kernels dont have auto-root and CWM/TWRP always(it all depends on the dev who is packing it). and there is nothing called a pre-rooted kernel. You dont root your kernel buddy,you root your ROM. Pre-rooted kernels(usually bundled alone) have a script packed with its ramdisk that roots the ROM you are running. Same goes for recovery. I can show you plenty of kernels which has all the features of Overclocking,I/O schedulers,governors etc without CWM but you need a rooted ROM . So a developer who is providing an entire ROM usually pre-roots the ROM and provides a custom kernel(usually no pre-root feature but in insecure mode). while someone who provides only a kernel to work with other roms provides a pre-rooted kernel. And even i said the same thing. I said you dont need root to flash a kernel. You need an unlocked bootloader(that also depends, There are ROMS and kernels which don't need unlocked B/L)
Yes what you mean is correct. The ROM he has installed should have root access( I mistook it for official JB firmware)
@Dark Wraith better we can leave this discussion here.. Because we both are arguing.. But where is the OP ? So its just a time waste for both of us...
And i know custom kernels should need an unlocked bootloader....
Hey member, wanna' flash CyanogenMod on the phone.
There is lot's(and lots) of info' here on this already, though can't find the links as yet..
If any member/s could leave the links need for CyanogenMod download, and all other links, looks like i need to flash google apps too..
Also, is the 2 sim function working now on the ROM? Ideally it would be good to be back on .41.2 rather than kit kat,.
Thanks for any help.

First you need to upgrade your rom to touchwiz 4.2.2 and then you can flash kitkat or any other custom rom because you can't flash custom rom on 4.1.2 bootloader ... So if your device is not rooted, go to settings and do a software update... Or you can alternatively flash firmware from sammobile... Hope it helps..

Its better u unroot ur phone and flash official 4.2.2 firmware from samobile and root it back...because most of all the custom ROM's use 4.2.2 has their base so u can hardly find and rom which supports 4.1.2 but S there r some but if u want install cm11 based or AOSP based ROM's u should definitely need to update it to latest Andriod 4.2.2....

I know this might sound a stupid question- with the CM11 as it's still new, it's still need work done to fix a few issues, my question is, if I flash this, and root my phone, as its a custom rom CM it get's upgraded automatically , when new fixes/upgrades come out right?
