I am a twrp fan and at the moment the only kernel I found including twrp is the lupus. But on my rom's OP lupus kernel is not recommended and the most compatible kernel is nAa 2.6.32. I have pm nAa asking him to build a version of his kernel with twrp but I didn't even got an answer. Then I asked for help on the official twrp site but didn't get answer, too. I have also tried to follow the instructions to build twrp with my own but I'm a completely noob on kernel and recovery developing. My last change was to find a way to decompile lupus and nAa kernels and replace the nAa 's cwm with the lupus' s twrp, but the folder structure wasn't the same. So I decided to ask, kindly for help. Are you a dev /advance user or just know a little about kernel compiling? Do you have a lot of free time? If yes, then try to help me by providing me a working recovery.img or give me a detailed, step to step and noob friendly guide to do it myself!
PS: I'm using smultron and I don't have Ubuntu or cygwin installed on my pc.

I know this guide. It is to complicated for me and also I dont have fast internet, so it will take ages to download the sources. Any way to edit an existing boot.img to make it work on my device?

Can someone tell me how to run the custom kernel made by z? Like exact instructions links needed clearly? I readed a few threads but didnt understand anything o.o
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
in that case its probably safer for you to just leave it alone. The kernel still needs work anyways and I myself am pretty firmilar with the flashing process and still managed to cause my phone to get stuck at the sony ericsson boot screen after flashing

Zzz like what the guy above me said, if your not 100% familiar with the flashing process then don't. Sigh might as well.
1 root your phone
2 install busybox and xrecovery
3 download the custom kernel
4 boot into xrecovery
5 install custom zip
6 select your kernel zip
7 wait a while, when done reboot
8 wait 10 min and done.

Is it possible for me to edit my kernel to allow higher clock frequencies? I am trying to achieve 1700-1800mhz
Can i extract the kernel from my ROM zip?
Do I simply edit 'scaling_available_frequencies','cpuinfo_max_freq' & 'UV_mV_table'?
If so how can I gain write access to this file? Any info appreciated!

How do I open zimage
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You can't unzip the zImage and make changes. You'll need to compile the kernel from source yourself.
Ok thanks for the reply. I am currently downloading the cm7 source code from github. Can you help with regard to overclocking?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You could try looking at the original overclocking commit and modifying it.
Why would you ever want 1.8GHz though? It'll almost certainly be unstable.
Sent from my GT-I9100
OK so what I've sussed out so far is as Oxygen ROM is cm7 based I can extract the boot.img from stable cm7 ROM (which is the kernel) and replace it with the Oxygen boot.img thus creating oxygen 2.3.1/wolverine, clockable to 1.6ghz.
I have found a tut on unpacking ramdisk, is this the boot.img?
If so can anybody tell me how id go about further increasing clock speed once unpacked?
Any help appreciated, cheers Andy
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Like I said, it's not possible to change the available frequency steps in a compiled kernel. You can't unpack it and make changes, you've got to build it from source.
Thanks for the reply, I believe I have the source and instructions on compiling unsure what to edit. Am I rite in saying the kernel is generic to all devices and need tailoring to suite? Please forgive the noobness I like to dive in deep end. Hopefully studying comp sci in sept if I get my grades so maybe then ill be able to contribute to the forum a little better

Flash another kernel.

if you remove it must be brick.

well, i want to install the unity v9 kernel on my rooted phone running virtuous unity. in case something goes wrong with this kernel, i want to be able to remove it. but since you say you can only change it, how can i revert back (or change) to the kernel i had previously on my rom?
Make a nandroid backup so if you want to revert to your previous setup just restore the backup. You could also download the original kernel that came with your rom so you can flash back.

What are you wanting to adjust? The only way to adjust a kernel is ti do it when its compiled from source code.
You cant remove a Kernel. You can ONLY change it.
Make a nandroid backup of your current kernel and flash a new kernel.If anything goes wrong just revert it.

Flashing the rom over itself (without wiping data) will keep your user apps intact and restore the kernel that came with the rom.
In the future it's a good idea to do a backup any time you flash a new rom or kernel. You can always delete old backups to save space.

Take the ROM you originally downloaded and use 7zip to extract the contents. Inside here you should find the kernel (boot.img) but not always in .img format so if you don't see it let me know.
Then use fastboot to flash this kernel to your phone, more info on that here

cant i flash that PA kernel in CWM recovery?
Sure if there is a recovery flashable .zip out there, you'll have to search for one or create your own. If you search my other threads i have one on creating flashable .zips but it will be more work than just flashing in fastboot.
Let me know if you need a hand either way

Guys is there any CM10.1 rom built including legacy hacks(not expecting a near near source build). Too many strange looking names of roms(ported)......
Also which rom has the highest benchmarks???
Is 3.4 kernel stable with most of the things working????
Also is rooting possible for mini's 4.0.2.A.0.84 stock build without flashing previous firmware(*.62 or *.42) ???
Coming from HTC. Dont know **** about Sony
Can this be done in series?
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Flash recovery
3. Install a custom Rom.
Don't know **** about Sony.

1- not sure what "built including legacy hacks" means.
2- usually we dont care much about benchmark.
3- everything is working with 3.x kernel except fmradio.
4- not sure about rooting for gb or ics stock rom for lock bootloader, but if u unlock it, rooting is just as simple as flash custom kernel and flash superuser or supersu from cwm recovery. Even some of the custom kernel already include autoroot script.

Sony phones dont have separate/dedicated recovery partitions .So usually custom kernels bundle two or more ramdisks which double up as recovery ..It also means flash_image doesnt work ...Dont try ...We have TWRP on some kernels but it's just a hassle imo ...
If you are planning to unlock bootloader then you dont need to revert to .42/.58 ,
In any case you dont need to fall back for rooting
There are two rooting methods ,one using some custom installer

Lol ...
Thats the ONLY way to flash boot.img ..having unlocked bootloader means access to fastboot to allow custom boot.img...
Fastboot flash boot xyzasdf.img
If you are in locked bootloader ,the recovery lies in /system and is accessed via a custom script...
You can't use flash_image and/or dd to flash kernels in android system or recoveries ...locked or unlocked bootloader...custom kernels has to be flashed using fastboot....it's a limitation of Sony device ...considering you mentioned HTC and 4ext ,you probably had a HTC desire and used flash_image and dd,and the kernels could be flashed using recovery...Not so on Sony devices...
