When you say "which have both CWM & TWRP " I dont get the ides - WHen you flash only the kernel, how is CWM/TWRP showing up ? They are supposed to be residing in the Recovery partition, right ? We flash kernel into the System parition, isnt it ?
Suppose if "hotboot" the kernel without flashing it. Will I have access to CWM ?

It is possible dude (if you remember xparts) but cant find that for xperia l. Xparts shows device not supported. I wish nAl will work upon it because as by my knowledge, the first recovery for locked bootloader was put by him only

Yes. It's possible to load a recovery during boot. We just have to patch a script/binary which gets executed during boot. For example /system/bin/charger or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
But there are two problems with stock kernel :-
1. In 3.4 kernel for FWVGA devices, video driver (msm_fb.c), needs to be patched for fixing frame buffers. Otherwise graphics show up messed in recoveries.
2. There's also an issue of reserved fields which block cwm start-up. Though twrp boots fine but with graphic glitches due to 1.
So best I can do is to make twrp for locked BL. Though it'll be almost unusable due to graphic glitches.
I hope, you understand my problem here.

Cant you port from xperia z's recovery ?
I tried to install the twrp provided for Z on locked bootloader but not worked for our device. When I take a look on installation script, it pushes charger files to system/bin but our charger file is located on root folder. I dont have recovey so didn't tried to push Z's files on our device at correct location as i'm afraid of bootloop.
If porting of Z's recovery can't be done, please make twrp for our devices ignoring the graphic issues. atleast we will have the recovery.
and i would like to make you know if you don't that or device has CWM pre installed but with restrictions. so may be looking more into system files may make CWM possible
Thanks for taking me in consideration.
Best regards..

@hellspawn
Hi! You need to unlock your bootloader See it in the service menu, that it is allowed or not. If not, like me, you're not lucky -yet, if it says allowed, then there is a tutorial in the forum how to do this!

can somebody tell me where to download CWM recovery for Xperia l? I'm currently running 4.2.2 stock and want to install cm11.i tried with CWM version 6.0.3.x,it have graphics glitch in recovery mode.i still tired to flash rom but aborted with status 7 error.my phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.thanks

there does exist Cwm for locked bootloader and it works too. Not very good but enough to flash zips.
Head over to developement thread and you will find it.

What's the difference between this version and 18.3.C.0.37 except root? Also how to flash cwm?

Now we just need a method to bring CWM or TRWP to the D2303. Or is it included in the above, and I can flash it via kernel + Flashtool?

I will update the op as soon as posible.

If the kernel contains CWM, I could extract the kernel.elf from the .zip, then flash it via fastboot. Correct?
Which region is the ROM from?

The kernel in this zip file not includes CWM! You need the CWM from DooMloRD.
Flash this file via fastboot, then reboot in recovery.
This is the customized MY 1281-1590 version of this firmware.

The differences are minimal, minor bugfixes. On my device it works fine.
For flash the CWM, read the op.

when will their be a custom kernel for us locked bootloaders with cwm on it .as would like to see it on the m2 locked bootloaders .

If the fix mount system tut here does not work for you, which may not, here is a simple fix just for removing the unneeded system apk's after flashing dotzi's 18.3.C.0.39:
- create a file named "enable" with a file editor with the value 0 in it
- save the file without .txt extension, or remove the extension after the file is saved
- copy the file "enable" to sys/kernel/security/sony_ric (ignore any failed operation message)
- set permissions to rw-r-r-
Gives full access to all system files for the current session.

This customized ROM works fine for me. Thanks to the OP!
Perfect would be CWM integrated into kernel, dito for the mount-sript (and init support) into ROM. That's all we need No de-odexing or other pointless stuff.

Nice to hear that it works. To integrate CWM will only be possible if a working Recovery is available for the D2303. I just tried it in the kernel building, but I failed miserably. But I will try as soon as possible to integrate the mount-script and the init.d support.
Let us hope that even more people to deal with it and the development is of overriding driven.

Consider putting the doomlord kernel which contains the CWM onto another storage (if he allows). Downloading from the current location is really not fun.
I'll be subscribing here as it seems you want to bring it further.:good:

Thanks for your hard work, really appreciate it
(Currently waiting for the dual-SIM one xD)

How do you were able to install CWM ? Your link is linket do DooMLoRD's CWM für JB for the D2305.

It doesn't matter. Flash the cwm via fastboot, and boot only in recovery by pressing vol down. Then Flash the zip file and reboot! It works, believe me!

For mounting system permanent use the latest version Busybox Installer, previous version will not work. Then use Init.d Toggle (both Play store).

What if I did yours? and what if i did the other? Shall my phone still works?

hi vinay, quick question, i am running 4.4.4 latest update.
Before I go with your step by step, do I have to roll back to the stock 4.4.2?

nevermind above post. i rolled it back to 4.4.2 and can root successfully using @Raproid method.

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

TWRP 3 has an issue with no adb access, i'll figure that out when I do.

I recommend users of AndroPlus 's twrp build to remain with that build unless there is an issue.

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

Re: Xperia z5 premium testing root and recovery
DRM keys do work. I didn't even have to wipe data before flashing like before on lollipop

Thanks again man! :good:
TODO umm, maybe ?
CPU temperature in TWRP does not register.
No adb access in TWRP
For reference:
diffconfigs for each product:
Xperia Z5 E6653/E6603 => sumire_diffconfig

Worked perfectly. I managed to install SuperSU and the DRM restore zip. Thanks!

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.

Nice job
try it asap

I dunno if androplus sources support it though.
I could extract the kernel.sin and upload I think.

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.
xD
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.

At the risk of sounding like a complete novice, do I follow your steps after having flashed the MM FTF. obviously utilising the correct ftf, in this case the Aussie one?

Disregard what I said, I am able now to recall the process of doing this for Lollipop. I do appreciate your help though and your work.

M,
completely alright, i was completely confused , this being my first sony device EVER. :silly:
I don't actually think the Aussie firmware is an issue, when I got this device it had TW firmware installed.
In /oem partition are your default localization settings
/oem/system-properties/config.prop

These are the steps I followed
Flash the e6883 image file using fastboot
Boot into system and use those adb commands as specified by the OP
Then fastboot flash the recovery file
Then go to recovery and flash the latest superSU
Reboot
This should get your ROM rooted.

Thank you!
Have you flashed twrp 3? Do you have stock marshmallow 6.0?
Thanks again!

Neil,
from Post #2 Xperia Z5 Premium Dual E6833/E6883 => satsuki_dsds_diffconfig
Although i'm not sure about the ramdisk, do you have the firmware ftf ? If yes it's the same routine, extract the kernel.sin from
the archive and post it where i can get to it.
NO MEGA ! DIE CLOUD DIE !!
I think i want to put that on a t-shirt. xD
