------// IMP INFO \\-------

hello guys,

i have pushed the Official kernel sources and ramdisks for various Xperia 2011 devices to my github account... to keep the various FW versions at same place i have created branches for each kernel/ramdisk... i think this will help other dev/advance users as they can now easily get all relevant files at one place and easily compare changes in firmware sources...

Xperia-2011-Official-Kernel-Sources
(INCLUDES THESE FW VERSIONS)

Xperia-2011-Official-Ramdisks
(INCLUDES THESE FW VERSIONS)

i will try my best to keep those sources updated

regards,

DooMLoRD

You want ramdisk for it?

and I can't find a way to get it from my phone

i was not able to get new firmware (kernel.sin file)...

since u have the device have u rooted it yet?

use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302037
and find the newest superuser update.zip

then after the device is rooted reboot it once... connect device to pc via adb and pull the following files:

Code:

/*
/sbin/*

e.g.: file list from ARC: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-2011-Official-Ramdisks/tree/master/ARC

updated kernel sources with 4.0.2.A.0.9 FW sources

alvaroag · Oct 24, 2011

Finally, I managed to get the sin files from PC Companion. You can download the kernel SIN from:

http://soporte.opensysperu.com/downloads/kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-883F-PID1-0001-S1-PARTITION.sin

My build number is 4.0.1.A.0.283.

Also, as you have experience developing custom kernels, I would like to ask somethingto you(sorry if it's our of thread)... I've compiled a kernel based on the SE source code(just added the tun/tap driver as built in) following the instructions published by SE, then used the original ramdisk/taken from the kernel image, then used mkbootimg to create the bootable image, and finally booted into it with "fastboot boot boot.img". It showed the SE logo(just the words, not the bootanim) and then the phone turned off. The same happens when I used "fastboot boot" with the stock kernel image. I use "fastboot boot" instead of "fastboot flash kernel" so I can test the kernel without risk bricking my device... Is there somerthing I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

the link that u posted is for Xperia Pro right? i will update my gitrepo with the ramdisk from this device...

which defconfig did u use?

are u unpacking/repacking ramdisk or just using the stock ramdisk.cpio.gz and then mkbootimg?

alvaroag · Oct 24, 2011

Yes, the image is for Xperia Pro(MK16a).

The exact command I'm using to configure the kernel is:

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- make semc_iyokan_defconfig

I've tried using the original ramdisk as well as unpack & repack(changing the logo.rle). The command I used to create the boot image is:

./mkbootimg --base 0x00200000 --kernel /usr/src/android/4.0.A.2.364/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img -o boot.img

Any idea? Thanks.

Use stock ramdisk as is

I ran the following commands:

cd /usr/src/android/4.0.A.2.364/kernel
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- make semc_iyokan_defconfig
nano -w .config
# Add CONFIG_TUN=y
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- make
cd ../bootimg
cp /usr/src/android/4.0.A.2.364/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage .
./unpack-bootimg.pl kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-883F-PID1-0001-S1-PARTITION.sin
cp kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-883F-PID1-0001-S1-PARTITION.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz ramdisk.cpio.gz
./mkbootimg --base 0x00200000 --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot.img
./fastboot boot boot.img

But it didn't worked. the workds "Sony Ericsson" appear, then the screen gets filled with black and finally the phone turns off.

I tried also with the kernel image, but still the same problem.

unpack-bootimg.pl wont work directly on kernel.sin files

I used your script to split the kernel.sin, get the ramdisk, deleted my old boot.img, and then ran mkbootimg again, but nothing, still the same simptom. Any idea?
