[Q] How to Add CWM or TWRP to Kernel Ramdisk! - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Hi!
I was wondering if any developers out there could help me out to get CWM on the latest stock firmware for Xperia E. If you flash a old kernel with cwm wifi will not work.
So for I have created zImage out of stock kernel source and added jjm34 ramdisk and the bug still persists, any solution or could anyone be so kind and do it for me and the rest of the Xperia E Community?

I wanted to do that as well, but no good guides exist. The E is pretty unpopular...
Hey, you tried ClockworkMod's automatic builder? I got a build done; downloading it now. No idea whether it'll work on not, but it can't hurt to try.

I extracted the 2.23 FTF with 7-Zip, opened the kernel.sin in Flashtool's Tools >> Sin Editor, and extracted the kernel.elf. I put the kernel.elf there.

(REQ)Xperia E WiFi module

Hey Guys ..I Flashed cwm on xperia e using the modded kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276943 and now my wifi isnt working....can somebody give me the wifi modules ..pLEASSE wifi is very important to me,..:crying: ..........5 minutes of your time can make a change:fingers-crossed:
The WiFi module is there, but the kernel you installed cannot work with it. I think you have 2.23 firmware, which does not have any compatible kernels at the moment.

I'd say as soon as a month or something after Sony releases the 2.23 source.
I do this for CWM: I keep the 0.47 CWM and the 2.23 stock kernels. When I need CWM, I flash it via fastboot and use it. When I'm done with it, I flash back stock using Flashtool.

Sure there is - the one I used till I got CM10. Flash the 0.47 FTF, then flash CWM kernel. Will work awesome.
As for where to get the 0.47 FTF, check this out: http://d-h.st/ufn Found this on Google, thanks to whoever generous guy uploaded it!
If you're wondering (like many others), even if you have a C1504, the C1505 firmware will work awesome, other than the occasional network drop (like when you're on the ground floor in a tall building with no windows nearby).

[Q] N00bQuestion about Flashing...

Hi, i'm from Colombia, and I have this Sony Xperia E C1504, Rooted with SRSRoot, but my current firmware is 11.3.A.0.56, and i find this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/how-to-xperia-e-c1505-firmware-11-3-2-t2435957 (Firmware 11.3.A.2.23), I have some questions, i'm sorry i'm newbie here, doing this, the only thing i flashed was an old tablet with 2.3.3GBread.
1. Will this firmware work for me? ( i have C1504 and it says C1505, also, im From Colombia, does it matter?
2. My phone is rooted, do i need to flash the kernel when i move (if i can) to 2.23 in order to root like is shown?
Ty for your time, i just had to ask
Okay, firstly, there isn't any firmware with build number 11.3.A.0.56 - I'm taking it you have 0.47 instead of 0.56.
Sure, you can install it - I have a C1504 too, and I think it is safe to say that you can use any Xperia E firmware - even the Xperia E dual ones (C1604 or C1605).
and about root?
Sir, thank you, i have one more question. My phone is rooted with this current firmware, in order to root the 2.23 Firmware here's how to do it:
1. Flash kernel 11.3.A.0.47
2. Root your XE using Framaroot. (Gandalf exploit)
3. Flash kernel 11.3.A.2.23
But, since i've my phone rooted, do i need to follow the steps above?

No sir
I haven't unlock the bootloader, but i know i can do it (view SS) and Sony support that idea, i know i need it if i want to flash kernel, but do i need it to flash firmware, no, right?

Okay... I didn't even know that we had a 0.56 firmware....
@XperiaEss Unlocked bootloader and fastboot aren't needed to flash FTF files; only flash mode is required for that, and flash mode works on locked bootloaders too.

Stock kernels (the ones in .ftf files) can be flashed; sin files, elf files and img files cannot.

yessss...exactly....but can it be flashed through CWM?? (img,elf,sin)
So, can i do it, right? Flash that firmware to update it, i've used titanium backup, and everything is now in mi SD.
But, in order to root? do i need to flash kernel? is that the only way ?
@leolook Yeah, sorry we took it a bit off-topic. If you mean you want to upgrade to 2.23, downgrade to 0.47 kernel, use Framaroot and then upgrade to 2.23 kernel again - sure, no problems. LOng as you have a Titanium backup or Nandroid, you're fine.
@XperiaEss Those can be flashed via fastboot, which needs an unlocked bootloader (unfortunately).
@NSDCars5
so.... boot.img in roms work with flashing with CWM
but seperate boot.img files has to be flashed through fastboot?
if i put a boot.img in a zip wii it cwm flash?

Probably, but you also need to modify the updater-script (in META-INF/com/google/android) to extract the file. The line will read something like:
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
(This one was from jjm34's CM10.)

I got the same issue on my after rooing.
Flash a 77 FTF but exclude system
Had the same issue as well.
Use flashtool and flash the same version FTF but only include (tick) the kernel and baseband. Reboot and you should be good to go.
I think the ZIP files dont contain the kernel or sth.
Good luck,

[Rootable Kernel/ TWRP 3 - E6833/E6853/E6883 Marshsmellow ] [32.1.A.1.163] AU]

Okay here we go,
Marvelous Super-Huge Thanks to
@AndroPlus for his kernel source
and helping me out with the kernel.elf situation.
@KbaB.BroS for testing and confirming. <== E6853
@Ashray_Vk for testing and confirmation <== E6883
@Neil_Armstrong_ for testing and confirmation <== E6833
The boot.img uses the bootrec setup.
Flash via fastboot
fastboot flash boot E6853_MM_ROOTABLE_PERMISSIVE_boot.img
Note: You DO NOT NEED TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE to perform root operations via adb shell !
just plug in open a terminal on pc and run
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
Use @Chainfire 's latest SuperSU, this version will apply root to the boot.img (system-less root).
I have not activated my phone so i will need some confirmation as to the correct function
of communications.
There are no additional modifications to the kernel other than what androplus has already
introduced to his kernel sources.

TWRP 3 has an issue with no adb access, i'll figure that out when I do.
I am fairly certain it is in one of the init.*.rc files
I recommend users of AndroPlus 's twrp build to remain with that build unless there is an issue.
I mainly wanted twrp 3 because of the improved terminal. =)

I assert that external storage read/write is now functional for this recovery build in conjuction with the provided boot.img/kernel build.
It is the setup I am using. My external card is 128gb exfat format. Any issue from here foward is of user error or format/condition of external card.
I did notice in one instance, that removing the external card, inserting into a card reader on pc and removing/deleting the following items
.android
Android
customized_capability.xml
Then reinserting card into phone did appear to restore access. If you left your card in the phone the entire time your ran LP through to the time you updated to MM, then remove the card and perform the above, and you should be sorted.
There is a backup issue with this TWRP build in that backups made to an exfat formatted external card must be uncompressed as there seems to be an issue/error/bug with libtar.
I do not intend to continue any additional projects on this front as I am trying to get a build of cm13 working.
I am not taking any requests, outside of attempting to fix anything goofy/wrong in this kernel build.
I have attached my kernel defconfigs for the E6853 and E6883/E6833
I am working off of the MM AU firmware release E6853_32.1.A.1.163_1299-1469_R3C.ftf

What is the e6883, dual ? If AndroPlus 's kernel sources support it then I dont se why not. I do need the Official kernel.sin or kernel.elf for that model to get the ramdisk though. If you have the firmware .ftf file, then extract the kernel.sin and upload it to where i can get it,
NO MEGA !! DIE CLOUD DIE!!!!
Get that done and I'll give it go.

There it is, the kernel.sin
Id be happy to help you test it too if needed
I also remember that androplus had done a kernel for the z5p dual too, but he abandoned it later.
And yes, the e6883 is the dual version
Firstly, thank you moonbutt74.
Secondly, I require some clarification or rather steps in which to get this on to my device and working.
I am currently running Lollipop, Boot Loader Unlocked and rooted via Androplus' method then running Auras' ROM based on the .200 firmware of Lollipop. Ideally I want to be able to retain my data but do I install Marshmallow before proceeding with what is written in the original post here?
A quick step-by-step guide would be massively appreciated as I do not want to end up twiddling my thumbs and having to go through the process several times and still fail to achieve the desired result.

Hi, I'm sorry but that is not within the scope of this disaster.

Okay seriously though, the instructions for flashing the images are in OP, the most reliable means to back up your data
is to use adb provided your phone is rooted, or just copy over from MTP if on Windows.
Firmware flashing is covered elsewhere. If i have the chance I will do a How-to for that exercise in general but in General.

Is there any custom ROM for Sony Xperia XA?

I wanna install Custom ROM in my Xperia XA. But when I search in Google, I found nothing. Is there any custom ROM for Sony Xperia XA? Please give me link if you have some good custom ROM for Xperia XA
Unfortunately, there are no custom roms.
Maybe someone can test this tool to modify stock roms? I don't have enough time to test it now.

repacking in "dat" will not work use "zip"
All other features seem to work.
