ok... This is a flashable zip that I BLINDLY made.. meaning I COULD NOT test it as we don't have recovery for the GPE so I couldn't flash it. I'm 99.9% sure it won't work or flash but if someone is brave enough to test it be my guest. Also I don't know what effect it has on the Xperia ZU because it has that dual kernel/recovery thing going on(this is my first sony device so I'm a noob when it comes to sony devices).. It should be rooted and should have busybox installed but again I have no way of knowing if this work work or not at this point. FLASH AT OWN RISK and make sure you have a back up or a way to recover. I take NO responsibility for this untested rom...
stock everything, just rooted and busybox (should be)

Tested it with my Xperia Z Ulta international lte version.
Installation was aborted after flashing the kernel.

Reinstalled the Stock Rom with Flashtool, no problems.

    thought of giving something to the ZU GPe community...

    so here is the Advanced Stock Kernel with dual recoveries!

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579005



    [ note on ZU GPE bootloader ]

    so i have done some testing on a users @BLOWNCO device and here is what i found:
    • there are signature verification issues if u try and flash a modified OTA zip
    • even after unlocking bootloader we cant flash custom recovery to internal recovery (FOTAKernel partition)
    • i have tried:
      Code:
      fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    • and
      Code:
      fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
    • it flashes correctly but device still goes to standard recovery
    • then i tried with rooted device and directly DDed onto the FOTAKernel partition, the device never entered that recovery
    • so i am guessing tht Sony has blocked access to the FOTAKernel partition for flashing custom recoveries

    only option remaining... use the old recovery in boot kernel system...



    regards,

    Here is a dump from 4.4.2

    system is rooted,
    left out TA, userdata and cache

    No warranty and I'm not responsible if you screw your device up.. Use at own risk

    well i got inside the system.img and there is the /system and i pushed it on to my device.

    Trying a stock kernel but i highly doubt that will boot it at all :D

    Edit: Stock Sony never gets past bootloader. no boot animation.

    flash the boot.img from GPE files, dd it on the device from recoverymode ;)

    Regards
