[Q] help : installing cwm recovery without flashing any kernel - Sony Xperia L

Hi can anyone help me in installing cwm recovery in c2104 without flashing thunderzap, phantom or any other kernel?
My device is entirely rooted with an unlocked bootloader _

I don't know if this will work, but search xparts in the play store, it is an app for flashing xperia recoveries. Idk if it supports L though. But worth a try. Or just download a recovery from ROM manager. Also found in the play store.
Sent from my ST18i

Nothing different between flashing kernels or installing recovery. Flashing kernel is way easier and faster so I would just flash this instead going around and bothering with recovery instalation.

Recovery is intergrated in the kernel (boot.img) on Xperia devices.

Thank you replying, actually i wanted to flash a couple of tweaks by using cwm_but it looks like now i really have to install a kernel_i have tried both phantom and thunderzap kernels before, phantom was laggy, and games were taking a lot of time in loading on the other hand thunderzap was pretty good but it consumed a lot of battery even when i was using the max frquency at 1ghz only_can you suggest me which kernel to install then, and if it is thunderzap what should be the cpu configuration?

I'm using Extended Stock kernel by @Rachit Rawat
It's pretty solid, games like GTA SA & Minecraft run smooth.
I didn't overclock my phone, only debloated & rooted

There are HUGE differences between flashing custom Kernels and installing Recoveries Do make some research before giving others a false info :victory:

[Q] ICS ROM XBSA v5.2 : Button led blinking on booting

I have search in this forum and googling it about my problem [ not big problem actually ], but not yet found proper thread or answer.
After flashing ROM version V5.2 and try to boot from recovery, i got my button key now blinking while booting.
But after booting complete is normal.
Currently use V5.2 with baseband 18A, and it works normal in my O3D device.
Button is also working normal, except search and back button is mixed function.
Do you guys ever has similar blinking led? is it absolutelly normal,
or just i have not yet found some issues in my device...
thank you for any feedback ( if there is any link for fixing search/back button improvement, it'll be better )..
mine is blinking too while booting, think it is normal.
if you want normal buttons, you should install a kernel with 4 button support. then back and search isn't switched.
blinking = normal
4 keys fix: flash this Kernel but read the Instructions carefully!!
ps you dont have to use exactly that kernel but its the one i use/like
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda premium
thanks to both of you guys...
if blinking is normal then i'll not mind about it..
and for link about kernel, i'll go and start to read it..
thanks for link..

i guess you flashed iodaks kernel..
No it wont really harm your phone but it will drain more battery.
And its not really smart to keep the min @1,3ghz.. make it min 300mhz and max 1,3ghz iodak made his kernel so, that it raise to max freq. every time you touch the display, so theres no need to make min freq 1,3ghz.
Edit: oh and choose for governor Hotplug and for i/o sheduler sio (best combination if you ask me..)

hi bensmokie , TMProduct1onZ..
as in my 1st post, i've xbsall ICS now..
and read many post for fixing 4-keys (changing kernel )..
by yesterday, i found this tools... here
my question is :
1. can i use it directly to flash kernel to fix 4 keys? the kernel is based on iodak's kernel.
2. i've read iodaks kernel zipped format. but it should need to install wkpark bootloader
3. i can boot into recovery mode, could i install iodak zipped kernel directly from recovery mode, without doing #2 step?
thanks..

As of now Rom's need to be installed via PC and not ClockWorkMod ...
And Yes, the Vengeance Kernel should work on both Rom's since currently all the Kernels as well as Roms are completely based on STOCK .
Hope that clears your doubts .

[Q] Max overclock speed?

Hello,
What is the currently (max) overclock speed for our device?
Also, which ROM do you recommend for high performance? (visible difference in a benchmark test).

I was still able to reach CWM, so I just flashed a custom ROM.
Most of the times I flash at school, so I don't have access to ODIN there.
1400 is the best for me
the normal S2 has 1.8 GHz, i think the more safe overclock for our device is in CM11 with 1.3Ghz
kernel link
wott 1,5, could someone provide link to that kernel???would it wor on cm11 resurrection rom???thanks

1,5 is only for 4.1.2 stock, so don't even try flash that ur custom rom
well our phone have dual core proccessor, so it can be overclocked to 1400 and more, but for me, there is no much difference btw mhzs..
Is he also got involved in our devices kernel project too??

You dont need the app to use the kernel, but you need to have an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery (maybe also a rooted phone).

Before installing faux kernel do a nandroid backup in recovery. If you're unsatisfied with faux kernel then restore your backup.

do you loose data when installing a custom kernel? what are the advantages of this kernel? I am enjoying the stock rom and want to stick with it, but don't know what I'm missing if I switch the kernel to Faux123. Already UL and rooted

No, you will not loose your data when flashing a new kernel.
Long story short, the advantages are a much more effecient and optimised kernel that will allow for better performance, battery life or a balance between the two depending on what your after and how you setup the kernel... Read, read and when you think you've read enough, read somemore!

I have used AVD 1.6 for almost 1.5 year .. just bought Redmi for primary use..
tried many roms and kernel
Right now my XJ is on riches kernel .6.03 and Alien ROM 4.1 .
CPU overclocked to 1.5Gz .. and still battery goes for 4-5 days on moderate use. needless to say ROM is buttery smooth + no bloatware + both cwm and TWRP recoveries in kernel.
have 32G SD card, install onandroid backup and feel freedoms like never before.

Intuisy is great,but I dont like intuisy logo, i like Sony official. So "Simple kernel" is the best choose for me. It's fast,it has overclock + standard features
