how about a kexec kernel.
we donot need to unlock bootloader and no risk of bricking.
I understand playing with TA partition is dangerous but can I just back it up? I mean by backing it I am not doing anything to it right? Bravia engine 2 can be ported to unlocked bootloaders too? Does loosing drm keys only effect be2 and trackid? Gracenote will be there?
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
i have rooted, can i flash this or still need to unlock the BL?
Mind instructions on how to change the bootlogo to stock? I didn't really like the DooMKernel one
You need root to back up TA. Using someone else's TA will DEFINITELY brick your device. After unlocking bootloader, Bravia Engine will be lost for pictures. Gracenote/TrackID and BE 2 for videos will still work.
Updated version with original Sony Bootlogo.
Update
Can anyone test if the recovery is working? I can't seem to get into the recovery.
Must press volume up button. Pressing volume down will crash the phone.
@DooMLoRD any ETA for a usable kernel for C5303? There is no 284 upgrade yet for this model.
you are not allowed to post such files....
i have explicitly mentioned that I DO NOT WANT MY FILES MIRRORED... this kernel is my work.. and the way i want to sign my work is to have my bootlogo... if u want for personal use u can change the bootlogo BUT DO NOT RELEASE IT IN PUBLIC...
you have been reported to the moderators....
Thanks so much DooMLord ))
Are you planning to integrate GPU overclocking in this kernel?
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
fastboot reboot
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.
Thank you !
can I flash .207 with flashtool? doomkernel will be replaced yes?
