LK for Xperia T
LT30p Only - Unlocked Bootloader Required
WARNING 1: This modification makes changes
to the devices partition table. I (lilstevie) am not
responsible for any damage to your device or
data loss that may occur.
WARNING 2: ICS kernels currently do not boot
with this modification at this point in time. This
can only be used with JB kernels including those
from the alpha and leaked releases. At the time
of writing the TWRP 2.4.1.1 FOTA image has
everything required to boot without any changes.
Since getting the Xperia T the biggest annoyance is only having one bootable partition.
To combat this issue I have spent some time porting the Little Kernel bootloader. This
allows booting different kernels for recovery and boot as well as a full implementation
fastboot.
Features:
Known Issues:
Usage:
After 1 second from pressing the power button LK will listen for input on the volume keys for 2-5 seconds:
