ok heres my problem so far. i know howto compile kernel from source, and i've manage to compile one for my live walkman, but what i dont know is howto repack the compiled zImage with ramdisk?
on my previous device samsung galaxy ace i can use a perl script from here to repack and i know that the base parameter is 0x13600000 and pagesize is 4096.
so my question is:
1- is there any similar script that i can use te repack kernel for sony?
2- if theres none, can i use the said perl script by modifying base parameter and pagesize specifically for live walkman?
3- for live walkman, what is its kernel base parameter and pagesize?
4- i know that all of our current custom kernel had cwm recovery repacked as one with the kernel, and my guess is its in the ramdisk. so which file is the cwm recovery in the ramdisk?
thanks before
ummm anyone?
i cant give u any other help rather than this
"bump"
you can sms to Doomlord for helps, he's so kind
damn... still cant figure out why my kernel wont boot.
i'm following this thread to repack the ramdisk

Hello,
I am quite new to Android development. I want to build a kernel for my Xperia Mini.
I have been following the steps on the official SE site. However,I need an initramfs. How do I get it ?
Thank You !
I just downloaded one from github freexperia project, but after compiling the kernel the phone doesn't boot ! What may be the problem ?
If you downloaded FXP sources to use with the Stock rom, it wont boot due to different size on the ramdisk.
Try compiling the zImage from Doomlord's Sources.

Btw... Wrong forum section
Hello, I downloaded the ramdisk from DooMLoRD sources on github and built the kernel using the steps provided on the SE website. However, the phone doen not boot using that kernel which I have built. What may have gone wrong ?
Please Help !
Hi Every body ,
i want to flash a modified kernel in to my I 9100G phone , and am wondering is there any body could help me
by sharing a download link of the AnyKernel.zip tool
Ps: i want to flash my ZImage and the ramdisk with the built modules .
best regards
Hey.
I hope you know, what you are doing anyway https://github.com/koush/AnyKernel this is what you are asking just download zip.
Oh and you can give me a shout if something goes wrong
Thank you for your Help , i will try flash the kernel today,
adding information that, am trying to build the "GT-I9100G_ICS_Opensource_Update2", and i choose this tool to help me flashing my Zimage with the ramdisk (initramfs) including the Built modules .
Thak you, i will give you shouts
hi,
thanks to Mantulis for sharing the link .
After downloading AnyKernel.zip , i did the necessary steps by moving my zImage to "kernel folder" and the built modules in "/system/lib/modules/" folder , but it seems that i couldn't flash it using the CWM ,
i had the message like :
finding update package ...
Opening update packages ...
Installing update ...
AnyKernel Updater by Koush
Extracting system files ...
.
.
.
Done ...
but when viewing my Kernel version i found that it's the same old on (the kernel didn't flashed for real !!!!)
Ps:
I rebuilt the GT-I9100G_ICS_Opensource_Update2 kernel, and i get my Zimage,
i am using :
- Ubuntu 11.04,
-i tried the "arm-2010q1" toolchains and the "arm-eabi-4.4.3" one ,
- am using initramfs of Mr superatmos, that he mentioned in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1587482 .
- i am working with "android_t1_omap4430_r03_user_defconfig", imade no changes to the .config file just the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.
my phone is on the ICS 4.0.3 ROM, with the 3.0.8-TH [email protected] #1 kernel version
Hi people,
after downloading AnyKernel.zip, and flashing the .zip to my I9100G phone, i always got a boot loop,
After the researches that i made, i understand that the Anykernel.zip was developed to HTC smartphone and not for te I9100G,
i Solved the boot loop situation by getting a new initramfs from the CWM kernel source and compiling my zImage with the arm-2010q1 toolchains.
Salutations.
I downloaded the zip and flashed it...
Still in a boot loop. Could more light be shed on this operation. Thank you.
Hey Guys,
I'm following sony tutorial on how to build stock kernel.
It is my first time doing something like that so I don't have a lot of knowlodge.
I done the following.
- Downloaded the source
- Downloaded prebuild toolchain by doomlord
- configured the kernel
- edited menu config and got zimage
Then I'm stuck , don't know what to do next...
So my questions is :
1- from where should I get stock ics ramdisk ?
2- How can I merge the ramdisk and zimage to get my boot.img ( I mean finishing compiling process ) ?
Other questions
1- Do I need to edit menu config only to get ext support? ( I used "ncurses-devel" which enables me to edit menu config via terminal , and I think I found ext2/3 is enabled by default if I'm not mistaken!!!! )
2- How to upstream the kernel to the latest available ?
3- how to add a patch ( like power button + home key = fast reboot )
I just want to create a simple kernel close to sony's one with tiny modifications , and have some fun by compiling too
I'm using ubuntu for this...
If anyone could help by answering my questions or pointing me to the right tutorial , I'll be thankfull.

2.get kernel kitchen
1.1you need to edit ramdisk to add suport
1.2you need to find your way to upstream it.
1.3its not posibole to go to fast boot with that module coz semc bootloder use menu bootn.that conbinacion is used on samsung phones.

1. Is this the right way to get the ramdisk from 2011 xperia stock kernel
Edit: used kernel kitchen for this
2. I have kernel kitchen Should I use it to assemble boot.img ?
Also in sony tut. they used mkbootimg program
Edit: will figure it out myself insted of looking dumb xD
1.1 ok
1.2 still searching but do not know how!
need help
1.3 I didn't mean fastboot I meant device reset Home + power key , already there in some xperia 2011 stock based and JB kernels.
Thanks for answering my questions , I'm noob trying to learn here

look at naa kernel,its for reset keyboard...look at his source its inside kernel
ok will check that...
another thing
Can I take cwm recovery from other custom kernel and simply put it in my ramdisk sbin folder or it needs modifications?
Compiled successfully
Kernel Compiled successfully, and I flashed it to my phone. booted fine
But now I've a problems:
- A message shows "are you sure you enabled root"
I already changed ro.secure=1 to =0 in defualt.prop in ramdisk
anything else to do?
I know this is a bit scarce, but I need help with a kernel. Why? Because I unfortunately don't have a
computer at the moment (much less Ubuntu suite), just my trusty GT-i9505. Also, I have a few
questions.
First of all, this is the guide I am following:
[GUIDE] Use aircrack-ng on android phone using Wireless USB Adapter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338179
This guide is aimed towards amateur kernel builders,
and the suggested ROM for use with this is Cyanogen Mod. Although, the post does mention that he was able to use his stock touchwiz ROM. He mentions he was able to do it with a few minor adjustments (along with the kernel and .md5 file):
I got this to work on my stock Samsung TouchWiz ROM by making a few adjustments:
- Get the kernel from Samsung: http://opensource.samsung.com/
- Change the lines in the .config file of the kernel below ## Samsung Rooting ... from =y to =n using nano
- To get boot.img, download the ...tar.md5 firmware matching your current firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/, rename .tar.md5 to .tar, and extract the boot.img. You cannot use mkbootimg here, only abootimg, as this boot.img has a special ramdisk address!

I would love to do this with my current TouchWiz ROM, (not stock) Samy Deluxe ROM- Operation Ivy
Any help/luck doing this? Thanks in advance
Bump
Bump. Let me also add that I can give the source to the kernel (of the ROM I have).
Really all that needs to be done is to rebuild that kernel (and follow the steps of course to the guide I'm using).
I have a TP Link tl-wn722n USB Wireless adapter, so I need to have the module/driver installed into that kernel.
The name of the kernel is 3.4.100-GoogyMax3_TW-v1.1.3
Here's the link to the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2895862&d=1407942420
I downloaded my kernel and looked inside of the zip file and don't seem to find a ".config" file as mentioned in the guide, but did see a boot.img so I don't believe there's a need to download the .md5 file:

Hello,
First of all, this is my first post in the forum and my first time trying to compile an Android kernel.
My intention was to port Nethunter for my tablet, Samsung SM-T580 (Galaxy Tab A6 10.1 only wifi).
I have successfully compiled the original kernel offered by samsung and i have ended up with a file called Image, a file called Image.gz and a dts folder
I have extracted the original rom boot.img with mkbootimg_tools and i see a kernel file, a ramdisk folder, a ramdisk.packed file and a dt.img
For what i have found is that this must be a non standard thing, the way samsung manages this, and despite i have seen various guides on compiling samsung kernels, i haven't found anyone doing it straight from samsung sources.
I think that the dt.img part is solved with the dtbTool, but i haven't been able to figure out what to do with Image and Image.gz to get the kernel and ramdisk.
¿Can someone give me a lead on this? ¿Is it doable? ¿Should i look for other kernel instead?
Its been long time ago... But did you manage to compile the kernel?
