Booting zImage, entering fastboot - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Hi
I've been looking through bootloader thread and found some posts related to fastboot... One guy complied new kernel from sources and got zImage but we're not sure how to flash it... In bootloader thread there are some drivers for enabling fastboot, as well as some other info but I was unable to enter fastboot on my X8... If it's possible, how to enter fastboot?
P.S. Sorry for asking here but AFAIK this stuff should be the same for both X10 and X8... And, all devs who work on bootloader are here... And this zImage means to both phones a lot...

Please remove this post, I've edited all above (I was on phone in that moment).

[Q] Not allowed to boot zImage with fastboot

Hello.
I have zImage for Jailbreak PS3. But when I want to fastboot it , it says FAILED <remote: not allow>. I have rooted hero with villainrom 12 , and fully working adb ( even when I check adb devices , i have my device here ). And I cant flash theirs custom recovery with that zImage ( cannot mount -a with adb ).
Thanks
I believe you need the unlocked SPL from Modaco. -- check out the link in my signature.

Please read the post two above yours. It was explained clearly by theSpam that you need an unlocked SPL to be able to do this.
Pulser_g2 thank you for your reply.
But I am new to the world's root and the more I am French so my English did not good.
Could you please tell me how to unlock the SPL.
Thank you for your help
It really isn't difficult. If you can't understand the posts above pulsar isn't going to be able to explain it any better to you, you'll either have to find a French speaking forum which understands it or just try to understand what's here. As simple as I can make it (assuming you have a custom recovery installed):
1. Flash the unlocked SPL from theSpam's signature
2. Follow the fastboot method for zImage
Btdag thank you,
I managed to unlock the SPL, but my problem is the second set.
When you say: Follow the method for fastboot zImage,
I'll explain:
I turn off my hero,
I turn it on by pressing the back button at the same time
I get a menu with fastboot, the options I have are:
<vol down> HBoot Mode
<MENU> Reset Device
I have no zImage nowhere, yet I put the archive files of psfreedom on my sd card
Sorry if I bother you but can you help me.Please
Thank you.
Hmmm. You need to install the android sdk (there is usually a link in btdag's sig)
Then use command
fastboot boot zImage
Where fastboot binary and zImage are in present folder of a command prompt instance on your pc.
I'm sorry but I do not understand anything.
the fastboot should be doing from a hero
Hi
I got thank you very much for your help

Yes, fastboot requires the PC. You could flash the image, but I don't know if it functions as a normal recovery image or not...

Flyer WIFI US is dead, I think

Hi eveybody,
I upgrade to HC already and unlock boot loader with HTC web. Press Vol down + power, it informs "Bootloader unlocked" but can't start to normal Android state. I try to restore but it's not response (can't enter to bootloader mode by any ship ROM).
I try to relock bootloader but still not success.
SO now my flyer is used as a brick.
Can anybody help.
Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply. Can you write more details, I am a newbie.
Wrong section this should be in q&a
You need to have fast boot installed on your pc
You need cmw zip for flyer hc
You need to place this zip in same directory as Fastboot commands
You need to get into Fastboot mode on your flyer and connect to pc
You need to open a cmd terminal on your pc and change to the directory that contains Fastboot and recovery
Then enter command
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery zip"
Then you should be able to get into recovery to flash a hc rom
All of these files can be found in links posted in the op of threads in flyer development. Look for an old thread by Paul obrien (or something like that) about updating to hc leaks. Everything you need should be there

[Q] help please

i've tried flashing new CM7 on my atrix 4g
i've flash first the update before the CM7 itself dumb me
now im stuck on the "m" logo with unlocked word on the upper left corner
i saw threads that you need to flash a newer version of CWM (preferably the touch)
how can i flash CWM touch?
Through fastboot.
Who said touch is preferrable?

the people at the thread they say its awesome
my fastboot is not working,now how can i install the cwm? mine says goapk.com
should i install it thru android recovery?
You need an unlocked BL.
my phone is rooted and it says unlocked at the upper left corner
when i fastboot it says battery too low but my phone is not chargin dang...
OK, then you need an external charger.
i've done the charge thing and still too no avail i still can't get past thru fastboot
when i try the fastboot it get stuck on the dual core logo and eveything heats up
can i install the touch cwm inside the android recovery? like installing a new rom? can i do that?
No you can't. That's the whole idea. If you could, fastboot and an unlocked BL would hardly be necessary, don't you think?
Not sure what's with the heating up, but your phone only looks like it's stuck. There's a procedure on how to use fastboot that involves using command lines on your computer. Did you follow it?
i really dont know about that sorry
i really want to make my phone run again stupid me
i've flashed first the kernel before the CM7 zip itself maybe thats why it is stuck
After you download all the tools and drivers needed and have a recovery image you want (check other threads for links), all you need to do is connect the phone to the computer, set the phone to fastboot mode, and type something like this in the command prompt on the computer:
Code:
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Again, check other threads for links and more details.
I've downloaded atrix fastboot with recovery image hope this works! x-fingers xD

we should be collaborating

The L90/F90/G2 mini are all very similar phones. In case you guys haven't noticed, we at the volt community have successfully booted a working copy of cwm. I would post a link if I could but you guys can find our active forum at android forums.

Could you please provide a link.
Thank you.
BTW if you have a look in the dev sections you'll find:
The L90 section here at XDA have booting CWM, TWRP and CM11.
Here in G2 mini we have working CWM, TWRP and Philz touch.
Custom kernel and CM11 or/and Omni Rom to follow.
Cheers,

I'm sorry. I hadn't realized there was working recovery and Roms already. I was only following the general forum not the development forum.

At this moment we have working recovery but are having trouble flashing it. It will run if loaded via fastboot, but if we flash it in any way we get an error.

Your phone seams to have a locked boot loader.
This is the reason why you get the security error.
Read the thread about unlocking boot loader in dev section, it may help you to, as it works for some other LG phones.
You can find a hacked bootloader for LG F90 - LS740 here:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/a682b8a7b7f2/Hacked boot
I'm the reason that "hacked" bootloader is there, but it doesn't work, also I've already booted into fastboot and unlocked the bootloader. I can boot an image via "fastboot boot" but flashing doesn't work. If I boot to recovery via vol- + power it will boot to a black screen and when you plug it in will show multiple drives. If I boot to recovery via adb "reboot recovery" it will momentarily show the boot certification verify error then go to that same black screen. We can however successfully backup and restore nandroids via cwm through fastboot boot and flash other files, flashing recovery from cwm will throw a bunch of errors and reboot cwm.

Yes, your bootloader is still locked. 'fastboot oem unlock' doesn't do the full job.
On my LG G2 mini it changes the bootloader slightly but has no effect.
Have you read THIS thread?
