Hi to all!
So kernel bypass is "obsolete" idea for normal users but i have spend past several day trying connect uart port over Nokia CA-42 data cable without any success. I suspect that MSM Secure(tm) Debug Qfuse is blown or something else so i can't work on new kernels altho is have done ground work
>> GROUND WORK = inserted x10 mini drivers and Makefile / Kconfig / Code Fixing entries <<
In these kernel builds:
2.6.32 ( CAF) (SEMC)
2.6.35 (CAF) (SEMC)
3.0.8 ( CAF )
3.4 ( CAF )
And i can make all zImages but they do not boot...
So i decided to compile my sboot tool ( based on kexec )
I didn't have luck so far kernel exec from kernel i suspect that it is host kernel based error so i would need help with testing on diff kernels / roms. Thanks!
Please post links to files created only with tool in folder called >> make_report << and do not post garbage. Thanks!
Appendix A:
In folder u will find >> sboot_install << that script will "install" sboot tool on you mobile in folder /system/kernel
Appendix B:
Existing kernel must be compiled with
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC=y
Appendix C:
Yes i will make kexec module for folks that doesn't have required from Appendix B
Appendix D:
Archive is now reuploaded it has now both armv6 and armv7 kexec module for existing kernels w/o stuff in Appendix B
sboot_install is now needs argument for install
msm7k ( for armv6 version of kexec emulation module) "
qsd8k ( for armv7 version of kexec emulation module) "
Download aZuZu SBoot v1.02.3
I know this is a dev thread, but I'm just curious, will this work on other MSM7227 devices like the X8 for example which shares the same architecture as the X10 Mini or Mini Pro. Correct me if I'm wrong but does this mean that we may see CWM flashable kernels in the near future.

In general sboot tool is uni tool for all armv6 / armv7, only condition is to include CONFIG_KEXEC=y and CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC=y in kernel u will use to load new kernel or kexec module to emulate same functions.
This is not for flashing kernels but for kernel bypass, so loading kernel on top running one.
So lemme get this straight. What will happen is we will already have a kernel. Then we'll flash another kernel (through CWM?) which has the kexec module. The second kernel will basically be booted up although we still have another kernel flashed. So it's like a temporary kernel, right?

Yes temporary kernel. Like I said / explained in first post. It is for dev's like me who can use hw debug to port newer kernel cause we need /proc/last_kmsg to see where was halt. Project idea is to provide that on sw debug base.
Honestly I didn't understand anything after temporary kernel, but good luck with your project and I sure do hope you succeed.
For my understyding aZuZu is developing SBoot so devs would be able to temporarly boot a kernel in purpose of easy developing and debugging a newest version of kernel (e.g. 3.x)... Thus devs are not obligated to flash the new kernel with flashboot and then back to working one and then back to debbugging....
Am i right aZuZu?

Hello
I am an X8 user and seriously want to unlock my boot loader but the manufacturing date was 11W43 so i couldn't do it. Then i came across your thread, found a hope to run custom kernels on my X8. Can you please say me when it might be completed and available ??
Thank You
Oh my god! This would be perfect if it does work! Cool!

Uploaded splboot.ko module, seems working well, if you are gonna try, be sure that you chmod to 777.
For development & testing you can use chmod 777 but never forget to set permissions correctly before releasing something!

I'm sorry, don't get your point. If i get you ok then you mean that I need to chmod +x or 777 on linux, before publishing some?... then why people can use on windows, and then release?? (Yes windows simply damages permissions)

heh yeah... Maybe it's my linux administration thinking:
Permission 777 is bad ^^
You should better find out which user or group shall have execute ,rewad or write-rights and then set the correct permission...
for example:
chown 0:2000 /foo
chmod 750 /foo
you see? Okay on a mobile it's really not that important but think of that there is someone who writes a bad app that exploits just a permission of CM7 or CM6 that is used in every phone... and woops ^^ or whatever ^^

Hi D4rKn3sSyS (toughest nickname to write :-D),
Where do you get the sources? From SE developers' site?
What's that kernel version? If it's to 2.6.29, it should be patched to reach 2.6.32, am i wrong?

Not such a big answer , i downloaded the sources from SE and it's a 2.6.29 kernel release as the one actually found in SE roms... now suppose i'd like to build a custom Android ROM based on Gingerbread branch that comes with kernel 2.6.35, it should be a good thing patch the kernel in order to take the SE one up to 2.6.35, isn't it?
To do that i think we've to take the Android kernel source git clone, extract all the patches from 2.6.29 to 2.6.35 (dealing with a single patch is harder than a small set of patches) and apply one by one crossing our fingers and hoping SE doesn't make so much modifications to the base parts of the kernel.
If we succeed we could maintain a custom kernel through patches.

It's simple enough to flash using Xrecovery or CMW.
The x10 forums made almost everything flash-able via Xrecovery
It's hard to isolate what to patch... consider that the big x10 threads have been messing with modified kernels for quite some time now..
Ip-tables, (CPU undervolt, overvolt and overclock) and many other mods directly implemented into the kernels.
And even so they are still stuck on the same kernel version.
SE has not even upgraded the kernel version with the 2.3.3 update.
So it may be possible but it makes alot of work for new drivers...ect..
It's best to try and optimize the current version and already working source instead of creating a whole new ball game.

I think you don't get my point... i was saying (from my point of view) that a kernel upgrading is mandatory (or it should be)...
It's the same if i have a Linux 2.4.x kernel with a GNU distribution that relies on mechanism such as sysfs that isn't supported in 2.4.x kernels (>= 2.6.x); so to build a custom Gingerbread ROM it's a good choice having a related kernel (from wikipedia it's 2.6.35).
And what's within Xrecovery and CWM? Flashing differs from building...
Saying that i don't want bluetooth or GPS or wifi support in my ROM, disable it from kernel and ROM building... that's the benefit of having custom kernels and ROMS.
Still i don't understand why you answer me with Xrecovery and CWM
Please don't miss under stand.
All i am saying is that without source it becomes hard.
SE did not upgrade the kernel to 35 for the big x10 or the x8 so there is very little to work with.
It would be awesome to get the kernel to that level.
But it's easier to rather tweak the kernel we currently have.

The point is not the stability or the instability of a custom kernel, it's to have the chance of building a custom one...
It's my right to have a unstable custom kernel builded by me installed on my phone, isn't it? :-D
@D4: i'm going to learn more about "git" and then i'll try (in the spare time) to patch SE kernel up to 2.6.35 (with all git tags/branches) and the i'll upload it to github... no promise at all, by i'll try ;-D

Yeah my bad. Have read the custom kernel stuff while i was completely new to smartphones. The X10 has custom kernels, but theire development is afair discontinued.
Sorry for the irritation.
So, preview of SEtweak (pre1) is out!
It's quite incomplete, without Synaptics DT, not netfilter and OC. I also forgot to enable NTFS, sorry
Just a proof of concept for those unwilling to unlock bootloader.
X8gesture will insmod fine.
Cypress users: remove DT module because this kernel already includes it!
Includes CIFS and tun - who need it, will know, who doesn't need it/know, don't bother
Download: -not working-
FTF bundle. Place to flashtool\firmwares, in GUI select X8 SEtweak-pre1 FW and flash it.
FreeXperia logo instead of SE standard, and [email protected] instead of [email protected] are easiest way to see that you have custom kernel.
Forgot to note: this kernel has gingerbread ramdisk, meaning it's for GB ROMs! Maybe works on stock, but may won't be stable!
Will include:
* Cypress dualtouch
* Syaptics fake dual touch
* custom netfilter tables
* overclock
Standard SEtweak features:
* NTFS
* ext4
* swap
* USB OTG experimental
* tun/tap/CIFS
Best regards

Hmm... S1Boot actually handles partitions so I'm not sure... also, yaffs2 FS is made specially for NAND flash chips in phones, so ext4 shouldn't give much boost - absolute need for ext4 conversion is present only on Samsung phones which use rfs by default, and that's quite slow.

I guess that the problem is that some devs didn´t migrate to CWM, and if we switch to this ROM which is using only CWM, then we need to back to stock, install xrecovery and then the other ROM , since CWM doesn´t install zip files made for xRecovery.

Well, ask ROM dev to convert amend script to edify, or do it yourself with aZuZu's tool. I will not include xRecovery because CWM supersedes it and it's official FXP's recovery.

Not a trivial matter. Here's a synopsis: You'll have to get a compatible kernel source tree, then get a linux environment set up with the cross compiler chain for your target system (Arm), then modify and compile the kernel. Once you've got a good working kernel, you need to put together a boot.img for your device. You'll need a working boot.img to tear apart. You break the boot.img down into its ramdisk and kernel, then rebuild it using your new kernel. Once you've got a working boot.img, you flash it to your device.
Each of the above steps involve substeps that could fill entire posts or more. Like I said, this is anything but trivial.
Are you sure there's not a custom kernel/boot image already compiled for your device? That would be the easiest route.
Thank you sooo much for aswering!!
No,there isn't any kernel available for my device WT19i really only cm7 is the other option instead of stock rom/kernel...

Are you sure about the kernel source? The Linux GPL requires that OEMs provide their modified kernel source code as part of the terms of use. I don't know what a WT19i is, but they probably have a site somewhere that has the kernel source code. If not, then there's really not much you can do.

Almost all of kernel for X10i are very similar, because are based on stock SE sources. I am using Doomlord kernels, because they are stable and have good scailng and undervolting capability.
It also depends if u want locked or unlocked bootloader version

Try a FreeKernel version, they are under freexperia team and their development were one of the bestest

Goodluck!
Personally its just a guess for you - I am still on locked bootloader and tested all of locked kernels and free kernels were the best all the time.

Anytime bro
I am on locked bootloader still because I dont have any reasons to unlock it and because:
- there is no rom/kernel which requires unlcked bl which has something really necessary for me (eg. new major version of OS or some extra functionalities)
- once bootloader is unlocked you can brick your phone totally (and I dont have JIG and UART adapter for X10i).
- i have completely modded WB rom by myself - extremely clean with huge of free RAM and great CPU performance. Didnt found something like mine yet
Only one reason why I will (in future) unlock my bootloader is CyanogenMod 9 which is in development but currently it hasnt deep sleep and camera working. Only one reason is Android 4.0 no else

yes!!! it's true!!....but i have unlocked bootloader even when I was a noob xD
last question : you have learned himself to build and program kernel-rom?
I'd like to start doing something, in java for example

Haha I am really NOT a noob, but still dont have it
No no its too difficult - yes I am able to build a android kernel from sources a make a really few mods in it, but I cant say, that I am a developer... Even I am programmer in desktop C++ and desktop Java, I cant write any app for android, its much more difficult than a programm app for PC in C++ and desktop Java is completely different from Android Java for a pity I have tried some tutorial for veleoping on android and I was disgusted how it works badly...
I recommend you to start programming in C++ or Java in desktop environment first and later move on Android Java
And ROMs no, still modding released ones and for personal usage at a time. I wasnt ever thought about to release my mods here on XDA yet

i just study 2 year of C# (class,OOP,windows form) and 1 year of C++ and java at school but i'm still far from create app
have you got some guide of programming in C++ or Java for create app or complete guide of developing on android ??? i can try with eclipse and some guide but there are only court and incomplete

Bad school then I have studied half a year of C++ and year of Java and it tought me to build some apps myself now. Must note that all with no UI, just command line but its more usable and resources free.
No sorry mate, I bought two thin books for C++ and Java, but sold them back very early. I prefer myself playing with code
As I told, not evan for android app - few months ago I searched how-to make a Hello World! for android. It was for Eclipse as I remember... And was disgusted how long was the whole code for it - about 40 lines of something between XML and Java.
So I dont have any...
Thanks to XperiaSTE team for the overclock kernel source first. I just did the config and compile but nothing else.
This kernel will overclock your device to 1.15GHz. The overclocking will provide a better performance and a smoother user experience.
I'm using a kexec multiboot kernel on my device, so I didn't test the kernel packed as elf format. It should be good because I have done flashing the self-built kernels several times.
The overclock source doesn't seems to be the latest but everything works~ Maybe that's because the modules in initramfs? (I did nothing to initramfs)
It's nearly impossible for me to upload the kernel on something like devhost/mediafire, so sorry for that. Could someone upload it on these sites please?
V2 Changelog:
1) Use GCC 4.9 Linaro to compile.
2) Change the SLQB allocator to SLUB. I don't really think SLQB is stable.
3) use 2G/2G user/kernel split. It seems to have a better performance.
4) PID namespace
5) NOTE:NO recovery in V2! Instead of recovery, the kexec multiboot menu by @percy_g2 is added. Big thanks to percy_g2. For how to use it, see Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/kexec-multi-boot-menu-t2647623
* To enter boot menu you should press the power key when vibrate
V2 Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgt82V2
V1(Stable) Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTyul07
Finally, sorry for my poor English
Hope you like the kernel~

Thanks for your support!
by doing diff -u to the two xperiap_defconfig, the configs seem to be same.
So XperiaSTE did nothing more to the overclocked kernel.
therefore the config isn't changed and the only change is in the code.
Doing diff to the whole source tree will take much time so i didn't do it
By the github commit the changes seem to be all related to overclocking.
https://github.com/XperiaSTE/android_kernel_sony_u8500
you can read cm-11.0 and overclock branches's commits
Omg, finally oc kernel for cm11! Can i use this kernel for miui v5 kk 4.4.4 by kosmos?

CM11Overclock_Fandroid-MIUI https://yadi.sk/d/kn4Gv5wXaP7Qj
Is this kernel stable? And can I use this in Europe?
Thanks for the kernel!
Just a suggestion for anyone thinking about flashing it right away:
Wait a couple of days/weeks for someone to do some testing, you could fry your motherboard (happened to me on my previous 2 phones).
I'm not saying this kernel will do that, but it's just a precaution.

It's a small time period, understand me please
I was running OC kernels on my previous phones and the motherboard frying happend months after use,
I'm not saying that this is the situation with this specific kernel, these are just my previous experiences,
and it was just to warn people
I had ever used panthom kernel on stock jb, it used 1.15ghz too but still safe used for a long time..
thanks for the great work.but how to install multi rom on our phones?
If anyone has a problem downloading the kernel from baidu, I have made a mirror on dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxuw8o8jtllzmfi/CM11Overclock_Fandroid.elf?dl=0
Ofcourse with the permission from the developer
Can someone please explain steps for installing multiroms? Can I use cm11 along with cm10?
Would the existing cm10 need to be reinstalled?
I've given link in the thread
No reinstalling is needed
