[WIP][KERNEL] Stock kernel from 10.1.1.A.1.253

DISCLAIMER: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
First of all, thanks to DoomLord for helping me to learn how compile kernels in the XZ. And for the toolchains and for everything pretty much.
Secondly, this is the first kernel I've compiled, I haven't modified any files from it so it should be 100% stock. I also haven't had to chance to test it yet, so report if it works, or if it doesn't
I've managed to compile the new kernel for the xz using the latest source from sony
Information:
For stock rom, unlocked bootloader.
Compiled using arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2.
Link:
Code:
Filename:boot_new_kernel.img
Version 1 md5: aa0520f745e9d2f3814b55ec749a1a8d

Version 1 md5: b169aef17ecf73226f926258e77e0453
Version 1:Dropbox link
Installation:

Install using fastboot:
1. Download and rename boot_new_kernel.img file to boot.img
2. from console type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. then: fastboot reboot
Install using recovery (thanks for installer ):
1. Download kernel_wawy.zip
2. Copy zip to sd_card
3. Enter recovery and install kernel_wawy.zip
4. Reboot.
Sources:
Kernel Source: Sony link
Toolchains: Github link
Credits:
DoomLord for letting me use his build_tools, toolchains, recovery installer and overall for all his help.
Enjoy

So, is this COMPILED (self-made) or STOCK ROM? I don't think they can be both (unless you have some sort of "keys").
I'm asking because I really want the BRAVIA engine still working.

It's a compiled kernel from stock sources for unlocked bootloader.

I'm confused. Will this help me get root?
Or rather, can you help me out here. I am right now on .434, rooted C6602.
How can i flash 253 and still keep root? Do I use flashtool, and flash everything except the kernel?

No, wait until I upload the version 3 of my stock rom, then flash it through cwm/twrp. Once you have done that, you have to flash kernel, baseband, fota from the ftf using flashtool.

Is a recovery included?

In the kernel no.

This may sound like a stupid question but why can't we just pull the boot.img from people who installed the rom using Sony update service?:silly:

hehehe, because when you update your phone through sus you lose root so you can't dump the partition?

Sorry for the question but I can't understand:
I flashed the new firmware (253) now I have kernel version 3.4.0 do I have to flash this kernel too? Or it was included in the ROM flash?

This is only for unlocked bootloader. If you installed the kernel from ftf .253. You don't really need to.

Thanks wawyed but I flashed the zip file via recovery not the ftf.

Man I made a mess I'm so depressed
I flashed the kernel but I get a bootloop so i flashed the full tft firmware and now I have updated firm and kernel but there's no way to root it. All methods doesn't work for example fastboot and no recovery of course so I'm stuck I'm thinking about downgrade and root again and try to update

Just flash .434 tft but only system partition, don't wipe anything. Root + install recovery. then flash my rom through recovery and you will be fine.

After many hours of work I finally did it. I have firm and kernel updated and root. I don't really know how I made it, after many hours of flashing every zip or ftf on the forum I'm confused and I just want to forget everything now It's better to go out and take a walk.
Thanks for all.

Sorry, my mistake.
You canno't flash a rom with a stock recovery.
You need a custom recovery

If you have odexed FW with some mods that is the results.

Sorry no idea about that, I have never used TWRP in my whole life, been using CWM since the beginning of times.
Well you can try it using TWRP, backup first and then try, might work.

No, basically I wanted to start TOTALLY fresh with a new ROM so I went to CWM and formatted EVERYTHING!! I was half asleep when I did it and formatted my SD card (where my ROM was saved lol) I also formatted boot, so I have no recovery anymore either.
What I'm wanting is a custom recovery I can flash using Odin.
So CWM recovery in a .tar format.
Thanks for the help!

So attached one may help you a lot. It works even for JW9! All you need to do - it's install the latest stock ROM first

But this isn't a recovery is it?
It's just a root package for stock firmware?
All I'm looking for is a custom recovery (like CWM) that I can flash in Odin so I can get a recovery back on my phone and flash CM

This on contains Root+CWM3 for stock ROM

Did you use the same zip file? Try to copy your zip file to your computer, then extract it, if it's error while extracting, then your problem is corrupted file. Try to flash other zip file, like theme, or etc, just to make sure your problem is your corrupted zip file.

As a friend says omegahanggara test first open the zip on PC and if there is no error in the file then try another recovery install zip.

Its not the kernel, it was old versions of recovery that did that. If you are on the latest dual recovery OR DooMKerneL there will be no issues with mount.
