thanks to the_laser to openly release this unlock...
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS AS TO HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, FOR THAT INFO REFER TO the_laser's thread...
The reason i have created this is till we can do some advanced work using the unlock bootloader users should atleast be able to use the older (bootloader bypass method) kernel loading... with this kernel as base u can mount other kernels using our usual ways [that is flashing kernel packages via recovery and using older chargemons for custom kernel loading]
[ features ]
this is stock 2.3.3 kernel (2.6.29-00054-g5f01537)
additional stuff added: (to ramdisk)
autoroot feature (very simple rooting)
advanced init.d scripts execution support (fixed in v3)
busybox already installed in /sbin
xRecovery-0.3-GBready [thanks to zdzihu] directly integrated in kernel (ramdisk) [no need to worry abt trashed flashes]
xRecovery in ramdisk is given preference over chargemon (so pressing BACK key repeatedly, when u see new logo, w will take u to the recovery in main kernel)
i have also added a fix which will allow the old "reboot into recovery" option in flashtool to now work
to distinguish between which recovery is actually getting called i have changed the background image of xrecovery (check changelog of v2 for details)
corrected Superuser file replacement (if Superuser.apk is already present when the kernel is flashed the first time it will not be replaced) [thanks to Androxyde for pointing that out]
[ Requirements ]
bootloader unlocked device
flashtool
latest SE FW 3.0.1.G.0.75 or ROM based on that FW

if u feel that this work has helped u OR u think that the work i put into making this is worthy of donations, then click on the following link for buying me some coffee/beer/etc
Do we have any difference in the performance in Bootloader bypass and unlocked bootloader? Since we didn't implement anything that's related to unlocked BL yet (example: 16mil colors). isn't this the same like the one we had before?
(Except for the recovery stable thing we get now).
Is there any noticeable speed since we got unlocked BL and different kernel?
Morpheus: [to Neo who is choosing the red pill] Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
Does it have the FPS unlocked and in call volume increase?
NO
this is stock SE kernel... i have just added a lot of things to ramdisk to make life simpler...

may be the kernels flashed directly might be more stable.. and booting time is reduced... other than that a lot of work will have to be done to make anything else happen...
I had v04b, then I unlocked bootloader and installed your unlocked bootloader kernel, then I flashed this with flashtool but it is still loading v04b and wifi does not work. Any solution?
