[tool] [bootloaders] wkpark 1.25a and ICS [flashable zip] [adb installation]

Flashable zip
If you don't want to mess with fastboot i made this script for flashing Wkpark's bootloader from recovery. It is umodified wkpark's boot and all credits give to him, i just made script.
It is tested only on original non touch CWM recovery 6.0.1.9, but it should work on all cwm recovery.
Flashing loader is always dangerous, no matter is it done from kdz, bin, fastboot or with this zip and if you brick your phone i'm not responsible, you are doing this at your own risk.
Basically with this you can install/upgrade from GB to ICS 28B without connecting phone to PC:
1. Reboot recovery
2. install this zip: http://d-h.st/bqj (V30A) or this: http://d-h.st/x7t (v28B)
3. install bootloader from this thread
4. [optional] install root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903752
5. [optional] for better performance install iodak's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069166
6. reboot and enjoy
If phone does not start pull out battery and try again.
Adb tools links and changelog.
Phone must be rooted before using adb tools.
02/04/2013 Added stock 30A bootloader
Link: http://d-h.st/aqV
19/03/2013 Added option for flashing original ics bootloader using ADB tools
It will flash gpt1, x-boot, u-boot and original recovery. It will not delete any data.
Original bootloader works only with stock kernel!!!
Link: http://d-h.st/Ci8
15/03/2013 Added installation script using ADB
It will work on any rooted device (GB, CM10, ICS28b).
Connect phone with adb enabled in settings. Unpack zip from this thread. Start runme.bat.
Choose 1 for flashing only loader
Choose 2 for flashing loader and recovery.

CM10
Sorry for the Dummy question,but i read a lot of topics where is said''install Wkpark bootloader to fix freezeing on Cm10(Camera,youtube etc.)
Well will this work on CM10? And also you are telling me that i can install this bootloader and then flash the Bin of v28B with smartflash and i will have a working ICS?will will this work with XBsall V7.1 zip

It will work on any rom, it is totally independent from rom. Of course, ported ics or rooted 28b can't work without this loader and this is not for this roms.

how to check if my bootloader is open? Or it is not important?
And Did you tried your method
CWM recovery or Stock recovery should be used?
After install the Boot125a.zip i will lost root right
Sorry for the stupid questions and spamming,but i really don't want to brick my device.
My device is Rooted(Is that a problem),21A ,Jellybam,also have flashed Bernies files

Tried on my device, doble checked cwm log before uploaded. You just need working cwm recovery and you can flash any rom after flashing loader: gb, cm10 and derivates, xsball v7...
You will not loose root and recovery.

Thanks a lot dude it worked.:highfive:

Holy jeez, this has been a great time saver! Works great, thanks mate

OK I'm on cm10 right now. I already have the 1.25 boot loader installed from fast boot. So really I can flash xbasalls v7 ROM right now and it should run? Correct? Or do I have to flash your zip with 1.25?
Never mind I understand now. I have to load the 28b update then the 1.25 boot loader.
One question though. what if the 28b bb does not work for me?

Re: Wkpark's bootloader 1.25a flashable zip
OK this worked. But when I loaded the 28b I had no service and it keep freezing and rebooting. Was able to restore back to cm10 with service. Is there something I missed to get service?

If you already have wkpark loader you don't need to flash it again.

Did you wipe data/cache? Maybe is BB issue, i don't know which baseband works with 28b, most of them works.

Re: Wkpark's bootloader 1.25a flashable zip
Yes wiped all caches and data. I'm on v20p bb. Guess it does not work with 28b. Will try changing bb.

or you can download superuser (http://androidsu.com/superuser/) (but i prefer superSU)
* Extract kernel.sin (from 11.3.A.2.13) then make it to ftf file with flashtool
if you dont have any ftf you can download over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409632) or download this kernel ftf (https://mega.co.nz/#!lQ4wWLjI)

Flash zip SuperSU
Format cache and Wipe Dalvik then reboot
Turn off then boot to fastboot and flash again new kernel A.2.13
Reboot and Enjoy so you can throw every bloatware apk

Is up to you buddy
But I suggest you to upgrde new firmware cz sony has improved more features on xperia e
If you unlocked bootloader so dont use PCC or SUS to upgrade your firmware, you must be on locked bootloader then upgrade. Via PCC/SUS
Or stay unlocked then upgrade via flashtool
Enjoy

it shows..the devive must be rooted first...and ...please check the log level

Z5 not booting

Hi All
My E6653 is no longer booting after freezing while running a custom rom. When I boot, it shows the Sony logo, then the light flashes red. It does not let me enter TWRP.
I have tried flashing original firmware using flashtool, repairing using xperia companion and the same issue happens.
I have tried flashing different custom kernels and TWRP versions. The only version of TWRP that works is TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AndroPlus but I cannot access the device through usb and adb does not work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I would be super grateful.

What have u done to make ur device freeze, and which kernel were u using before freezing?

Thanks for getting back to me. The phone froze while using the Plex app, and after I force rebooted, the boot issue happened.
I was running V2.3.3 of Xperia X ROM by _LLJY and the kernel that came with that custom rom.

Well the Rom's kernel which u were using does not include TWRP, just try one of these solutions :
1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.

- I tried this with 2 different official firmwares and no luck. I made sure I didn't exclude anything. It still gets stuck on the Sony logo
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.
- not 100% sure what to do with this. I don't have the original kernel patched with TWRP img inside. Is this something you have?

Try this: Install Androplus kernel and Twrp Recovery which comes with him.
Find flashable prerooted firmware for your model than connect phone to pc to transfer it when you are in Twrp and than wipe cache,dalvik and data and try to flash prerooted zip.

Tried this also. kernel and recovery seem to install fine. But when I press VOL up or down, it does not go into twrp.

I managed to get into TWRP using the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-3-0-2-cm-aosp-roms-t3373008 with AndroPlus kernel. But, cannot access the phones storage through computer. TWRP shows failed to mount /usb-otg (invalid argument).

That link doesn't have anything to do with flashing custom ROMs via fastboot.
That link discusses installing TWRP and then using TWRP to install the ROM.
Let me clarify my previous response. Custom ROM .zip files can't be flashed via fastboot but you can the system.img from the ROM zip and then use fastboot to flash the system.img.

Alright, but my main question is how can I install TWRP on a Sony Xperia M C1905? I've searched the guy's post that says that I can't flash it via fastboot or flashtool but I don't get it how will I get TWRP to run using the FOTAkernel method without any pre-installed recovery.
I've not tested it with the official TWRP app yet but I have tried it with rashr with no success.
Oh, and if I use fastboot to flash "system.img" from a ROM, will the device run with the new firmware or do I need to do extra things besides that?
(I have an unlocked bootloader, android version 4.3 and rooted firmware.)

If the device is already rooted, you should be able to flash a copy of TWRP for your device via the Flashify app.
Things weren't that complicated in the days of 4.3, you shouldn't have any special conditions to worry with.

I've tested flashify and when I pressed on flash TWRP, it did nothing.
I tried to select the file manually and it told me that I'm not able to flash recoveries because it could not find the recovery partition.
One more question: that guy said that I'm not able to flash TWRP using the stock ROM.
How is it going to work?

Here is the TWRP page for your device here at XDA. Read the first three posts, it explains things.

I tried doing it within the app but it said that an error occurred.
Is it because I've installed on internal storage?
I've also tried it with rashr and it said that it completed but the phone rebooted back to normal.
Also, should I flash TWRP to the BOOT partition?
EDIT
Thank you for helping me! I flashed TWRP on the boot partition and it worked!
I didn't care about the firmware because I was going to flash a new one anyway.
