[E/dual] [CWM] boot+recovery image for stock JB

This is a boot image with CWM for stock JB. The included kernel versions are stock Sony (versions 11.3.A.0.47 and 11.3.A.2.1). You may need an unlocked boot loader for this.
This can also be used to root stock JB ROM by installing Superuser through recovery.
Downloads:
Xperia E single
Xperia E dual
Note: Don't directly link to these releases. Link to this thread with current releases instead.
Usage instructions:
Boot to fastboot and flash boot image:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <filename>.elf
Recovery boot is triggered by pressing any of the volume keys during bootup while the notification bar lights up.
How to run fastboot is explained in Sony's instructions. If you still need help with that, please Google it yourself because there are plenty of guides.
Standard disclaimer that I'm not responsible for any messups applies.
Thanks go out to FXP for the initial Nanhu device port.

thanks

First post updated with new release.
Single-SIM E users, please flash the new single-SIM specific version. The stock kernel on the devices are slightly different, most importantly the battery percentage specification, so the reported battery level will be off when running the other device's kernel.

I am rooted with bootloader locked.
Please tell if I need to get mine bootloader UNlocked for this to work???
And people who have flashed pls give quick steps for how to.....
I am new to Sony device

The method of flashing a custom boot image won't work with a locked boot loader.
There may be other methods like this where recovery is placed on the system partition instead of the boot partition, but I haven't looked into that.

trying to combine with FXP CM10 > stuck on SONY logo...
with MIUI V5 > Bricked... have to use flashtool for recover...
btw, this is great work for stock ROM lovers
not meant for comparative, but your CWM look so better than FXP's one, also can reboot the system properly... ( CM10 still can not reboot phone, even on recovery mode)

It can't boot CM because it includes stock ROM's ramdisk, i.e. the boot instructions. CM will require its own specific ramdisk.

successfully entered in cwm in xperia e dual??? is ther any rom for e dual??? can i flash cm10.1 for xperia e in my e dual???plz any 1????

Not working for Xperia E Dual

Well that problem description is a bit too generic. Note that this is for stock JB ROM, not CM10 or ICS. I have tested it with version 11.3.A.2.1 on E dual.
I haven't done another stock-compatible recovery, but I'm hoping to post the first release of my CM10 port next week, and it will include TWRP.

I´ve tested on stock JB 11.3.A.2.1 on C1604 device.
Please, port also recovery for stock only. I don´t want to use any other ROM at the moment.
Or tell how to do.
:good:

[Q] Nexus 5 Flashlight not working on stock except Paranoid Android

Hi experienced developers.
So, directly coming to the point... I have a hammerhead aka Nexus 5 16GB.
The phone works superb. No issue is reported till now. But one thing is eating my brain and I am damn frustated about it, is that the flashlight of the phone won't turn up or work on any firmware or stock rom. I tried every other rom, L Developer Preview, MIUI, Re flashed KTU84Q from Google's website and what not. I tried everything but the Flash won't work. Some apps in play store for Flashlights say error message that LED is not found. I have attached Screenshot of the same. So, in short no way could turn the flashlight except for one day when I tried Paranoid Android on my Nexus 5. I opened the app (fingers crossed) and kaboom.... FLASHLIGHT TURNED ON!!! I was hell surprised as to none of my attempts did turn on that light.. Not even Pure Stock Google firmware couldn't do so. But the default Flashlight app on PA do turn on the flashlight. I tried the Flashlight.apk file of PA on stock rom and it says "Unfortunately Stopped"
I am damn frustated and confused as to what shall I do. I can't use PA as my daily driver.
I need Stock Rom+Xposed with L Developer Preview on multi boot. Please help me developers.

Kernel isn't exactly stock, but close enough.
Paranoid Android's Flashlight app won't work on stock ROMs since it uses sysfs rather than camera functionality to turn on the flash.
Try taking the .apk out of a CyanogenMod 11 Nightly and see if that works.

Yeah... Sorry. I was first on stock kernel only. But then I installed MultiRom and flashed the custom kernel required by MultiRom. But guess what.... Flashlight won't turn on in either kernel. I tried Flashlight.apk from CyanogenMod 11 but no use.
Yeah.. I would like to tell you.... My camera doesn't work. The Camera app doesn't show on phone. I am able to open secondary camera from Lockscreen shortcut but the phone has no app for camera. I think it's camera is broken. If you can help... I'll be really really thankful to you.

Sounds like you did something wrong when flashing rooms.. Re flash stock ROM again

[Q] What is the most stable ROM?

What is the most stable ROM for C2104 ?
I just want something that works :crying:
Not even the stock 4.2.2 works well. I get bootloops and wifi issues on every ROM I try.

First - Do not cry because of phone .
Second - Re-Flash newest stock (I recommend you to do that by Flashtool)
Third - BL Unlock , Root , Install Philz
4th - Make compresses backup of stock (Nandroid settings like compression available only in philz)
5th - Then feel free to flash CM 12 and ThunderZap .

I've done all that, except for the Philz Touch. I'm running CWM with CM 12.
Is there ThunderZap available for CM 12 beta 3 already?
Everything still unstable, though. It's beta as it says in the name.
I'm looking for something, solid. Rock solid. Everything working ,no problems, no crashes.

Yes . 4.10
Well , don't use CM 12 , cuz it's unstable in web browsing and video playing .

No.. I usually get crashes doing simple stuff.
Wifi stops working very often.
Many functions are still being developed.
Even when choosing ringtones I've noticed that some names do not belong to the respective ringtone.
I understand that it's beta and I'm not complaining. It's just not what I want for now.
I've used beta ROMs many times. I've even developed some stuff for PSP years ago. But now I don't have the time for crashes and bug reports.
Even the stock ROMs give me often crashes.

i test ALL roms. but finally i undestand the stock rom is better for us. All KK roms have BIG BUG

I was using version 15.3.A.1.17. Customized from India, from Brazil and I've also tried 15.3.A.1.14 from Vivo_BR.
They all gave me sudden reboots.
Do you know how to fix that or which ROM works?

I've been using SlimKat for almost 3 months and I have no major bugs at all. Wifi and GPS work fine, I have no random freezes or reboots, no low volume bug...
There are only two problems that I can remember now: unable to move apps to SD card and error trying to search for networks manually.

Bootloop after flashing. Help!
Need some help. I have installed this kernel on CM 12.1 Rohan's build and got bootloop... Some info: I used Philz Touch 6 Fota and wiped cache and dalvic after flash. I recovered from soft brick through but what should I do to avoid bootloop?

File
Sorry for the dumb question but what is zip dl-0? cant flash it, it wont detect it.

Good day. First off, i wanted to say that i've tried this kernel and the d2w is very helpful for preserving the hw power button and i think this kernel is very useful.
The thing is, since their latest releases, i've found that Glade Rom and SlimLP have been the roms that are best for me in terms of what i need and my daily usage. Unfortunately, this kernel doesn't work for either of them. I'm guessing it's because of their base?
Anyway, i'd like to ask if the dev has any plans to get this kernel working for either of those roms or for aosp 5.1.1 roms in general? If yes, that would be awesome. If not, then i still say this kernel's features are still very helpful and i'll be waiting to get a cm-based rom that works for my needs. ?

I have plans to bring this to every LP based ROM for XL.

bootloops. even through a clean install or flashing it after an install and clearing dalvik and cache...
i've noticed that the roms that doesn't work with tz 4.15 won't work with this kernel either.
great to hear your plans. really appreciate it.
edit:
both these roms are aosp based and have RRO supported as opposed to cm theme engine. could that have any bearing on it? let me know how i can help.

Problem on my HTC One (M7)
Hello,
first of all I would like to apologize for my English problems. I installed your Kernel on my HTC ONE M7. It is running on Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Android 5.1.1). The problem is that my handy freezes everytime it tries to boot. It freezes on the HTC logo to be more specific. Please let me know if you need to know more details or need even a log and I hope this issue gets solved.
Thank you

LOL No, this kernel is not meant for HTC One.
This kernel is only for Sony Xperia L. Please read the full post before trying anything.
Now how to recover? If you are able to go in recovery, flash CM12 or any custom ROM.
Master Solution is flashing stock as always, although I dont know how things are done for HTC [emoji14]

@corphish i kniw i shouldn't but.. If it's possible, may i ask that you add the Intelliactive scheduler if you can? Lulzactive and on demand doesn't really work for me (lulzactive seemed buggy last time i tried it - main core stayed on max freq). Just a request. ?

Wifi stopped working after I flashed this kernel. Previously I was on Tz 4.16. Any ideas what I can do fix this, other than going back to Tz?

Well, you cannot go back to TZ now. It flashes kernel in boot-device linked partition, which is a mystery partition about which only Varun knows.
I haven't succeeded in your situation.

Right, learned that the hard way
Is this a known issue though, or something that you or others have previously faced, that changing from Tz to Zapdos will break wifi? Just curious.

Hey man, I use Primexperia rom, it's CM12 based, soon to be posted new ver CM12.1 based. For some reasons it's not compatible with TZ 4.16, 4.14 only (wi fi missing on 4.16) Will this kernel work for me? The only thing I really need is a stable system with Sony sound
Oh almost forgot, I use TWRP and I think that any other recovery is a waste of time, to be honest. Can I use TWRP?

Stryflex LP 1.5 Rom
Hi,
I am using Stryflex LP 1.5 Rom.
When used the its kernel,phone freezes randomly & hangs & not responds.
We have to take out battery & restart phone.
Most of the times even if i take out from pocket also it is in DeadState(even if pressed power button alos nothing works.)
So i installed Thunderzap 4.16 ,it is not freezing but Wifi is not working.
Then i shifted to your kernel, thank god it is not at all freezing while operating .
But i noticed that it is going to black screen/Dead State very frequently.
Waiting for any suggestions & help.
I appreciate your help & time.

Could we get 1.7~ OC like in TZ kernel? It was fully stable for me even with thermal throttling disabled.

Maybe it's noob but would the wake up signatures Hurt the touchscreen some how.
I mean it well make it work for 24 hour????

Tz 4.16 with cm 12 work properly and Wi-Fi is goog and with application tenderzap control you can Cheng setting so good and you can change control charge to 2100 ma for faster charging so download tanderzap control.apk

Front facing camera issue

Hey,
So I got my Oneplus One few days ago. It was running Cyanogenmod 11s front facing camera was working fine by then. Then i figured to switch to resurection remix did that, and when i tried to access the front facing camera the program just froze and crashed. Then I went for AK Kernel, still crashing, went for Paranoid Android now with default kernel still nothing, tried multiple camera programs, nothing seemed to solve this problem.
So does anyone know what's up ? Why it doesnt work ?
Any help is highly apreciated.

What ?
I mean i do it everytime i reinstall/install new rom.

I even installed Oxygen OS Same problem, nothing fixed i did it as cleanely as posible Formated every possible section i could. Anyone to help ?

bump

Did you updated also the firmware? Or just ROM?

Nah just the rom, dont know what you mean by firmware
I mean i installed the cm12.1 newest nightly first, then went for Resurection Remix and so on

And you left the firmware on cm11s? How did you manage to install 12.1? Did you read the installation instructions, cause every Rom I tried states update your firmware. You'll find a link to the latest one somewhere near the ROM download.

**** maybe i dont understand something what do you mean by firmware, can you explain more in depth ? Because i did everything that paranoid android tutorial shows and see nothing changed, I tried instaling a rom it came with it was cm 11s 44r still same stuff nothing changed.

Do you mean i should flash CM 12S first, then go for other roms ?
Edit : So newest 12.1 Nightlies dont have newest firmware itself ?
