[GUIDE]for installing custom kernel K11 / K12 FOR FROYO ONLY!! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

THIS IS FOR FROYO ONLY..!!
ok.. i'll take it from the top..i will guide you taking wolf's rom as a reference.. for other rom users just follow from the third step(ignore the first two steps if you have already done it or if you are on another rom..!!)
1. flash CM 6.1.3 [v006].zip via xrecovery
MIRROR: http://www.fileserve.com/file/fq6AF6a
2.CM 6.1.3 Hotfix for V006 via xrecovery
DO NOT BOOT DURING THE FOLLOWING PROCESS TILL I TELL YOU..!!
3.flash baseband .49 via flashtool
4.flash Patch to use 4x-52 Baseband via xrecovery
5.flash K12(the one with uv/oc/uc) having the latest version of miniloader...taken from here
Important Note: k12 is same as k11.. only oc/uv is added to it.. but it seems that k11 is more stable and battery efficient than k12.. so if you dont care much about oc/uv.. i would recommend you to go for k11.. (Steps of HOW TO are posted in the second post)
6.flash wifi bt fix via xrecovery
7.flash K12 wifi driver via xrecovery[UPDATED ON 2ND JUNE]
8.now boot up.
check your bb and kernel
if its the right one that you have installed
THEN
9. go to settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > uncheck international and national data roaming...
10. settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network operators..
select your network manually
(if there are two of the same names then the first is 3g network and the second is 2g network)
11. go to settings > date & time >uncheck automatic and manually select your region, date and time.
12. after selecting immidiately do a reboot..!!
and voila..!! you're done
FOR GOING BACK TO THE STOCK KERNEL FLASH THIS VIA XRECOVERY..!!
HAVING RANDOM REBOOTS, SYSTEM CRASHES WITH K12? REFER POST BELOW.!!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The random system crashing and rebooting issue was not there in k11..
J earlier said that he removed uv/oc from k11 because that was found to be the cause on reboots.. but he added them again in k12 due to public demands..!! maybe its the same reason we are having random crashes and issued.. i used k11 for about 3-4 days and didnt had a single crash or reboot..
i'm shifting to k11 for the time being and wait for k13..!
if any one also wants to try that
here are the necessary file links..
1. k11
2. Wifi & bt fix
3. wifi driver
flash them in order..
NOTE; THE ABOVE THREE STEPS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE RUNNING K12 RIGHT NOW.. FOR THOSE WHO DONT JUST DO THE STEPS IN OP BUT REPLACE
STEP 5 WITH step 1(Of this post)
STEP 6 WITH step 2(Of this post)
STEP 7 WITH step 3(Of this post)
AND THEN FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS IN OP.
to check whether you are having any deep sleep issues there is an app called cpuspy

WRONG INFO!!!!
PLEASE GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING THESE HOW-TOs
1) the whole point of that release was that a newer miniloader was included which is missing in ALL OF THE LINKS THAT U POSTED
2) for everything to work properly u need to flash the included baseband from the baseband package provided in CM7 J022 for the included miniloader to work properly... even if u already have baseband 2.0.52 please reflash using the baseband package provided in CM7 J022...
3) >>> flash wifi bt fix via xrecovery <<< is only required if u are on FROYO roms....
4) if u are on incorrect miniloader & baseband u will NOT GET DEEP SLEEP/WILL STILL HAVE REBOOT WHEN SCREEN OFF PROBLEMS
why dont u rename ur thread title to: [GUIDE] for installing custom kernel k12 ON FROYO ROMs

Is it possible to use BaseBand 54 with K012? (combined with Wolf's ROM of course!)

The custom kernel only works on BB52 so the answer is NO.....

Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)​
1. Get those files download​
2. Copy all these files into your Phone (except speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar files)​
3. Get into download mode and than flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar with using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!)​

I recommend to use GALAXYS and you dont need to worry about flashing back the Telus modem cause it is fine to use jvk modem.
If you want it, i can make one for you.

No, I'm refering to the built in geo-magnetic sensor. Essentially the built in compass.
Edit: But the accelerometer doesn't work either, I don't particularly care about that.
Also, occasionally after being plugged in, the software seems to ignore the fact that it's charging until reboot. That one sucks because it stops charging while I'm sleeping.
Camera app occasionally won't display a preview until the phone is locked/unlocked with the app open. Widgets disappear puriodically, and sometimes it won't let me fruit ninja
Hey harimgs,
is it normal to constantly bootloop on miui? My phone will bootloop 3 or 4 times then finally boot on the 5th.

The first few times it takes a while, I think the boot animation is too long/too short. I changed it to a different one (Through the theme manager) and it boots a lot quicker now.
Do I have to flash the CM7_TELUS-FASCINATE_platypus-kernel_20110418_16_core.zip and then the WiFi fix? Or can I just flash the Wifi fix?

You gotta flash CM7_TELUS-FASCINATE_platypus-kernel_20110418_16_core.zip and than if your wifi works and everythung else works fine, you dont have to flash wifi fix kernel. If dont flash it

So, say I wanted to overclock the phone, afaik there is no kernel allowing to do that, right? Supercurio's didn't allow it when I used it on my 959D to load Darky's and SimplyHoney and I just flashed CM7 using the instructions in this thread (so I'm now running Platypus kernel).
Also, is there a lagfix included with CM7?
Hey! I was using 2.3.3 miui rom with Platypus everything worked fine, I upgraded myself to the new miui rom which uses 2.3.4 and problem is when I flash the kernel if wont go past the cm7 boot logo. I have flashed it several times and reinstalled the rom still same issue.

Cyanogen7/custom kernel...problems with re-boots

Right guy's,
I was asked to start this thread by Doomlord to see how many others are having problems flashing cm7 roms that contain the custom kernel.
When i flash the recent cm7 roms with k006 as soon as my screen times out or i switch it off with the power button(quick press)the phone goes into re-boot, it does not do it with the usb connected and my phone does not do it on any other rom even the cm7 that uses stock kernel.
I have tried everything i can think off to fix this issue from flashing repair with seus to using a brand new sdcard with just the cm7 update on to flash, i have run out of ideas, Doolord seems to think it is hardware related, please post if you are experiencing this problem, i am not concerned about wlod, this is a seperate problem.
When you post can you say which rom you have flashed and also which kernel, thanks in advance for your help, hopefully we can get this sorted.:

I have had this problem to , on an erlier custom kernel with cm7, i dont use cm7 anymore so cant say if i should have this problem now but i know a bunch of People have reported the same issue in the Swedish forum www.swedroid.se that the phone reboots when you put the phone to sleep. With cm7 kernel 006.

Hey smartgardens iv just had an idea cant beleive i didnt think of this before! Have tried messing with settings on set cpu? I might be worth creating a screen off profile and have 384 as maximum scaling and 245 as the lowest or even perhaps raise the maximum up some more. Perhaps your processor just isnt getting enough juice!

Just a thought, it could be that your CPU can't handle the OC/UV of K006. Try doing a clean install with one of J's stock builds and then install set cpu on that. Configure set cpu to "On Demand", Max cpu to 998 and then enable "On Boot"
Boot into XRecovery, backup the ROM then flash J018. If you then do an advanced restore of the Data only from the backup you should end up with Set CPU installed and set to run on boot.
Iv tried doing data restores from v17 to v18 and get md5 mismatch even though iv not touched the file name.

Once before I've had a backup that had the same problem, I couldn't even do a complete restore from that backup. There is probably something wrong with the backup that's causing the problem.
I managed to do a Data restore from J013 to J018.

sounds promising, ill give it a shot now, even if i was about to install it with stock right now
edit: i cant install the stock one, cause when i flash stock kernel chargemon doomlord provided for me i stuck on se logo
what strange is, that when i leave my phone alone it doesnt reboot, but till i use it a few seconds "reboot" 2-3 times, then im in system again and if i leave it "no reboot",
maybe someone can post how i can delete the following from system/bin/chargemon via pc, adb
Code:
umount /cache
umount /sdcard
umount /cdrom
umount /data/DxDrm/fuse
killall -9 DxDrmServerIpc
insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
sync
cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img

Hi Bro,
Doomlord said you was having the same problems, i felt like giving up, no matter what i did the same outcome, anyway hopefully we can sort it out, let us know how you get on with set cpu.

Thanks for your advice, i have had a try of putting the setting to performence in cyanogen settings but it gave me cyanogen setting error message flashing up once the phone re-booted.
The thing is with vo17 stock my phone runs nice, i have flashed over that but got the same result, i have never tried setcpu, i will try your way later though and post back, thanks buddy.
guys some custom kernels (especially the ones ment for CM7) come with RAMDISKs integrated into the custom kernel and there is no seperate ramdisk available in /system...
so when u skip custom kernel booting the intended ramdisk is not executed and the necessary init scripts are never run... that could be the reason why some users (with CM7) are getting stuck when not using custom kernel for booting...
though the CM7 releases marked STOCK kernel should work... but even if those one are having the same issue then we need to search for another probable cause of the problem...

Hi Doomlord,
I have ran both zips that either provided boot with custom kernal/boot with stock kernal, the last time i used the latter my phone never booted, could this have done something in my partition on my phone?, other than that is the ram disk you are talking about in system/bin ramdisk tar, if so i will have a look.
What about the solution using setcpu, i thought the idea was right thats why the screen switches off and does not when usb is connected.
EDIT... Ok just started testing with setcpu settings/add profile, still the same issue, will activating perflock disabler do any harm?
EDIT... maybe you are right about ramdisk as i have not got one showing in system/bin
EDIT... I have now stopped the phone re-booting by flashing the 2 zips below, custom kernal is now showing in my about phone the only thing is i have wifi error, at least i have got somewhere with cm7 v018, the thing is what has this added to my phone to stop the re-boots?
To get wifi working i have tried the following with no luck, using root explorer copy and pasted from update v018 the kernal,module folder and the chargemon, the phone is still stable though and no re-boots, hope somebody now can work out what is the problem.
Had this problem once when I had the v018 stable and Gapps installed.The phone reboot and the problem didn't come back afterwards
Ok Guys i have finally fixed my phone, i have just flashed j's v19 with custom kernel k007, as soon as the screen went off it went into re-boot mode, this time i flashed j's provided bb52 using the latest flash tool, you have to create a bundle first, i flashed this bb 4 times in a row without turning on the phone, just pull the battery out, i turned the phone on and 30 minutes now without 1 reboot, hope this helps those who have been having the same trouble.
I have the same problem. Created a flash file with Js baseband in the flash tool.
Flashed it, had this problem. Smartgardens says we should flash this several times, but i cant see how that has any effect tbh?!

Well why don't you try it and post back, whats the point in starting a thread to help if you don't help yourself, i could not use the custum kernal either, as soon as i fladhed v019 k007this morning i had the same problem as you, doing what i posted sorted it.

I want to flash my X10i with a custom ROM, but I'm a big time noob. I have been digging these forums for the past 2 hours as to what to flash and how. Decided to flash Wolf's TW Gingerbread 2.3.3 v 4.0.4. But I'm not sure how to go about this.
My phone stats:
model number x10I
firmware version 2.1
baseband version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.A.0.435
I haven't done ANYTHING with my phone yet. It is not locked with any carrier, or whatever you call it. I bought the phone. Please let me know how to go about this. I have downloaded the below from wolf's post.
Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip for Baseband 71 (The ROM itself!)
FTF bundle (2.3.3 kernel and baseband .71)
Much appreciated!
..JusT Try 2 Help..
You better UpDate your 2.1 X10i with PC Companion/SEUS to GB 2.3 first DuDe..
After that download a Flash Tool and follow TuT carefully from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Try it and let me know if you've any problem..
If your phone is 2.1, you can easily root it so you can install xrecovery 0.3.
Search the Flashtool tutorial; root and install xrec and then you just have to install Wolf's package trough xrec

How did you installed xrecovery ?
Did you used the recovery .apk installer?
Follow this process...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
1. download flashtool from above link.
2. connect you phone in the flash mode (back button pressed)
if needed use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
3. root the phone again (follow the instructions in the flash tool exact way)
4. install xrecovery using the flash tool
Please report back if this fixed your issue...
Also, FYI... in order to flash 2.3 you need to even flash the 2.3 baseband and kernel... Just follow the dev's instruction (better use wolf ROM)...

But ur phone is rooted right?
Open flash tool in ur comp.
Just connect phone (not in flash mode, just the normal mode).
Flash tool will detect your x10.
Just hit the button "install recovery".
this will install/repair ur xrecovery.
Please try and let me know if this worked...
do i absolutetly need busybox for this to work.

nope. Just follow my last post instruction and lemme know if it worked...
WB's directions say that i need to do a factory reset is that necessary as well
your directions didn't help. still says device or resource busy. do i need to flash 2.1 and go straight to v4

Yes ! Whatever the steps he mentioned are all needed to be followed.
Also do a batery stats wipe as well, as it will solve a lot of problems in the future.

My personal experience:
Had WB 3.5
When 4.04s came out, did update to 4 and then to 4.04.
But had issues with Titanium Backup etc., etc. Kind of not so fast ROM it was.
Did backup everything, formatted sdcard etc.
Flashed 2.1 Generic
Upgraded with SEUS to 2.3.3
Rooted
Then did 4.0 and 4.04 updates
Did reinstall from market needed software, not restore with Titanium Backup (except some, unrelated to system).
NOW it runs superfast and supersmooth! I figure - thats how it was supposed to run. No ANY issues at all.
P.S. My battery holds 3 full days with normal usage.
does anyone have issues with lag when using live wallpapers

i hav been using da v1.4 for mny days nw.... no pblms.... all da freakout stuff was for the older versions.... v1.4 hf1 is as stable as u can get.....

Latest Changelog:
v1.4 - 23 September 2011:
Battery stats wipe?: You must wipe your battery stats in ClockworkMod for this release, since we are using a new kernel battery driver.
Data wipe?: A regular data-wipe is only necessary if you have problems (as usual).
Hotfix 1 [24 September 2011]: Fixed wifi tethering (reverted to v5 supplicant - should not reduce wireless quality as we are still using the newer WEXT driver); fixed stock FM radio; improved FM radio volume code (thanks to OuNao); improved FM audio quality (reduced hiss sound).
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Deodexed ROM: you can now install the full Google Apps package if you desire. Keep in mind that your first boot after upgrade/fresh install will be slower compared to previous versions, but regular boots will continue to be fast.
Patch to prevent S2E from applying bad filesystem tweaks (won't interfere if you don't use S2E).
Linked /cache/download -> /data/download by default (so all users can download large apps from Market, even if not using an app2sd method).
Kernel: Updated battery driver (based on tass_battery.c 2.6.35 kernel driver) - this should reduce battery drain and prevent the phone from staying stuck on 99% battery for extended periods. Note: your battery stats will be erratic for one or two charging cycles - make sure to wipe your battery stats to help this process.
Wireless: new driver with Wireless-N capability & better signal (based on Atheros source from Samsung I5508, with patches from 2.6.35 kernel).
Updated to wpa_supplicant v6 (awext -> wext driver) & reverted to CM7 dhcpcd. This restores wireless signals to Froyo levels.
Kernel: Updated fsa9280 USB switch driver (from 2.6.35 source).
Kernel: change default TCP congestion control method to "veno" - should improve wireless reliability, especially if there is wireless congestion in your area. It can also improve wireless throughput under normal wireless conditions.
Enabled hardware-accelerated 2D rendering (note: this feature wasn't working properly in the previous test hotfixes - it's working now, and there is no graphical corruption).
Various small bugfixes....
no battery drain pblms here...
hope i helped...

problem after installing Wolfs TW Gingerbread

hi, I just installed this custom rom on my x10i, it went all fine, but problem is that I no longer have internet connectivity. 3g won't work (I can turn on, but it won't show, and I can't download configurations from where it was previously, nothing shows up under settings>sony ericsson) and also, wi-fi isn't working. whenever I try to turn it on, it says "error" and won't turn on.
what to do? this rom is awesome, impressively fast than stock 2.3 on my x10, but without internet, it's useless....
thanks in advance

Have you done dalvik-cache wipe and erased cache partition? Also,are you on .71 baseband?
For wifi, have you flashed its kernel modules?

Your opinion But I am using same ROM without data plan and I am happy Sometimes wifi in restarnts in the streets are enough and free
The wifi could also mean that you havent flashed your roms wifi modules zip normally done in xrecovery
Sent from my CM7 Zmod / doomkernels v6 UL BL X10!
(And all that without bricking it) so far atleast.

if I only had wi-fi. but I don't have any kind of internet right now heh
I did everything I was supposed to:
Factory Reset (Full wipe)
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
then I installed the rom, and flashed the FTF package
it says baseband 2.1.71 and kernel 2.6.29-00054 and etc. is that right?
the only thing I flashed was this FTF file. do I have to do anything other than that? idk how to flash my roms wifi modules, really new to this thing.
thanks guys
now I can't enter xrecovery anymore... so I went to troubleshooting:
Q: I'm experiencing problems with my xRecovery?
A: Make sure you have the latest version of xRecovery if Wolf hasn't included it yet.
You can get it HERE. Flash this over current recovery and should be fixed.

but there's only a .zip version of the xrecovery, I can't flash it through flashtool. and I obviously can't enter xrecovery to install xrecovery again. god this is confusing. what to do?

ZIP cannot be flashed in PC's Flashtool, but in Xrecovery my friend. TFT is for PC flashtool. If you wanna back where you begin, i suggest you follow this link's method. Worked as promised

Try Full wipe again (ALERT THAT YOUR DATA WILL LOSS in your PHONE) if you can. THEN ,FOLLOW link i sent ya before and their instructions, videos. Best way is watch and learn. Have a nice day.
sincerely,
whitefang
PS: if you don't want to restart, you may have to find links that contains your downloaded WF ROM either is for unlocked/locked. Normally, wolfbreak will put its module links at his/her first post.
Feel free to PM if you want. Try my best
