You'll have to use a hex editor to suck the ramdisk out of nAa's kernel.sin.

The issue is simply the compression used in his kernel. He changed from gz to lzo compression.

Therefore this tool is no longer compatible with .32 nAa kernels.

    THIS IS FOR ADVANCED/EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY


    [ info ]

    hello devs/users this should be a useful tool (its just a small perl script) for u guys... i have modified the popular unpack-bootimg.pl script to support the (new) kernel.sin files... so it will basically unpack kernel.sin to zImage and ramdisk, ramdisk will also be extracted...


    [ requirements ]

    1. linux machine
    2. perl


    [ supported devices ]

    • Xperia X10 (GB update, custom kernels for unlocked bootloaders)
    • Xperia 2011, 2012, 2013 H1 devices
    • Xperia 2013 H2 devices onwards with dt.img extraction support


    [ download link ]

    unpack-kernelsin.pl


    [ usage ]

    Code: 
    ./unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin

    Enjoy!

    safer and proper way - parse SIN header, extract payload, parse ELF header in payload, extract program tables.

    everything other, like signature search and heuristic analyze, can work, but can fail ;)

    Little correction here ;-)
    1F8B08 is the tar.gz magic number and has nothing to do with SE :p

    But you are right its safer to search for the whole magic.

    Regards

    Also, are you sure 1F 8B is enough? Because I see a lot of 1F 8B in kernel.sin, while 1F 8B 08 is the kernel magic for SE devices.
