I am on a rooted and unlocked bootloader with firmware/kernel 12.1.A.0.266 and stock sony rom 12.1.A.1.205.
Should I be flashing Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v01 (FW:12.1.A.0.266) since my kernel is the same? Also I hear ram is not good on the kernels but am unsure to which (.266 or .201) one it is. Can someone give me a heads up on which to flash and how the ram is.

i installed this kernel/recovery and i love it but for the moment im going to back to stock completely as some roms are not really what im looking for, since this kernel is based on the stock can anyone provide the stock one without modifications? im going to relock my bootloader and i need to be on stock kernel in order to relock bootloader and install my DRM keys again and also since i have CWM i can't install a system update and that notificatios is driving me insane popping out every time i turn on the phone.

I've been looking for hours and i haven't find any stock file, i tried going to sony mobile developers but i couldn't find anything, any info is appreciated.

Xperia SP 4.3
Build 12.1.A.1.205

SAOSP 6/5 + Semaphore 3.2.0 = fast, stable, awesome. Thanks for the great rom.

To be perfect, only need to fix the missing translations (brazilian portuguese).

Credits and special thanks to Koush and everyone else involved in Cyanogenmod project!




[ info ]

This recovery is built from CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6 sources and is integrated into stock kernel... I call this an advanced stock kernel with recovery!

the core kernel (zImage) is exactly the same as the one supplied by Sony for that particular firmware... only the ramdisk is changed to add recovery and other features!

    Great DooMLoRD, You Are so fast!
    Very thanks for supporting XSP...

    thanks! if i have device in hand its easier to support it :)

    thank you all for donating device to me!



    Amazing.

    I assume, locked bootloader you´re working on? ;)

    still not want to unlock my bootloader :p

    for now no... there is a way to root on locked bootloader... but I am busy right now and have pathetically slow internet bandwidth! anyways I am sure @[NUT] can post that upgrade with root package...

    @[NUT]
    the partition format for the Xperia SP is different!!! dont flash anything to "boot", booting kernel is at Kernel

    FYI:

    Thanks for the pointer @DooMLoRD, it also pointed me to the mistakes I made for the T :eek:

    Building XZDualRecovery for the SP as we speak.

    Once this has been tested successfully I can do the update package :good:
