[P/U/Sola/Go][TOOL] Flashable zip Kernel Creator - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello everyone !
After creating flashable recovery zips of TWRP for multiple ROMs of Xperia U (TWRP for Xperia U by NoobCoder),
I want to share today my tool with Xperia P/U/Sola/Go community !
This simple tool permit create an recovery flashable zip file for our phones from img or elf kernel/recovery !
But first you need this tool if:
A developper of an kernel or an recovery don't create an flashable zip of kernel/recovery
You want or need flash kernel before install an ROM
You have Windows 8/8.1 and you have problems with fastboot
You prefer a recovery flashable kernel/recovery

An Xperia P/U/Sola/Go phone with recovery installed (CWM or TWRP)

Click to collapse
If everything is good for you, we can begin !
First you need download my tool on this link > Xperia-PUSolaGo-KernelZipCreator_v1.5.zip
Uncompress the zipped folder where you want and after go in uncompressed Xperia-PUSolaGo-KernelZipCreator folder.
Copy kernel .img or .elf file in tool folder (where you can find 7za.exe, run_linux.sh, etc...)
Now you can start script !
If you are on Windows open run_windows.bat file and if you use Linux (or Mac) start the run_linux.bat file.
When you start the script an list of all .img or .elf files in the folder appears. You have just to enter the number associed with the kernel you want to create the zip.
Wait few seconds and after script end you found boot_signed.zip file.
Copy it in your phone and flash this boot_signed.zip file on the phone recovery (CWM or TWRP).

great work

Good work, though just an advice..change-
Code:
boot.img or boot.elf
to
Code:
*.img or *.elf
Just in case their kernel is named differently
Cheers,
AJ

Yes, good idea ! I upload a new version this afternoon !

---

Version 1.5
Version 1.5 is out !
In this new version, the idea of @Abhinav2 is added !
You can add any .img or .elf file without rename it and when you start the script an list of all .img or .elf files in the folder appears. You have just to enter the number associed to the kernel you want to create the zip file !
Compatible also Windows and Linux/Mac !
You can download the new version here: Xperia-PUSolaGo-KernelZipCreator_v1.5.zip

It is really possible that it won't work, but I don't lose anything if I ask
Could I flash a custom kernel on locked bootloader with this method?
