[KERNEL][5.0.2][10.6.A.0.454][ADVANCED STOCK WITH RECOVERY](UB Only)

[shoey63]

The rooting part doesn't work for me., SU binary needs to be updated but I cannot update it. It fails.

Try http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip, particularly if you have used kingroot.

Can this kernel be used for flashing Stock .454 ROM?

If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can fastboot the boot.img and flash whatever you like, including .454 roms (provided they are in .zip format)

Can you make this with Nut's dual recovery? or at least with philz touch?

@Paduretu Ionut
Try this. It has Philz recovery only. As usual, rename it boot.img and fastboot it, or use Rashr app:good:
Edit: It works, but backup to exfat sdcard is slow, need to add the texfat module

Accidently flashed the PhilZ one, without considering I was on LB. Softbricked my Z something bad

Nasty feeling isn't it? Way out is hard power off (power + volume up till three vibrations), then flash kernel only, without wipes using flashtool

Yeah, it sucked - but I kept my calm. But I was close to panic at one point

I did just that and luckily no data was lost.

Actually Philz IS cwm 6.0.5.1. Just with more features. Don't think I'll bother with the old deprecated version of cwm. Doesn't backup and restore properly on LP anyway.

I'm not a dev so I have no clue how you do this magic - but I can't help but wonder why is it harder to make a kernel with recovery for locked bootloader than it is to make it for unlocked bootloader?

It seems that it is causing some headache for the devs here with the bootloop and all. I'm not pushing anyone for a solution but not being into programming and developing at all I don't get what the big difference is.

Would you care to explain just in broad terms?

 

[shoey63]

Basically, with LB you can't modify the kernel at all, otherwise it won't boot, as it breaks Sony's signature verification. But with UB, there are no such restrictions, so you can do whatever you like to the ramdisk, etc.
Also LP has selinux enforcing, which makes it harder for LB Dev's to use their system hacks.
