Ty! I have the kernel with existenz, it's only necessary to wipe and flash the prerooted stock rom or it's necessary to flash the kernel again after flashing the new rom?

Some from have included the kernel in the zip archive,so...Just always flash the kernel after you flashed the new rom.;)

Hello!
I have a problem!
I've tried to flash this Kernel on my Z3. After the flash, I've rebooted my device but the screen is all black. If I try to press the power button, it vibrates but I don't know what's happening. I've tried to hold Volume+ and Power Button, but It don't seem to reboot o to do anything else.
What can I do?

if the buttons are stuck using volume up duller at the same time it will restart when you start for first time will have a light color LED waiting notifications and start completely with a dark green now too might I be confict with the rom in these two roms goes smoothly and probe.

To exit the bootloop if this persists, you can use the kernel indicated below:
(Advanced stock / beta Marshmallow kernel 6.0.1)
You install it using the adb minimal install of all kernels that way
use the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Bit of a weird question, but is there any way to remove recovery? I've got two. I've got the TWRP that comes with both kernel and eXistenz ROM.

When I turn phone on, I get orange light. Vol + goes in to TWRP that comes with kernel and in this recovery I can see all partitions that you would expect in an unlocked bootloader.

After that I get greenlight + vibrate. Vol + allows me access into this TWRP recovery. The only difference is that its the TWRP that comes bundled with eXistenz rom MM and as such you can't backup ta-trim partitions etc.

Is it possible to uninstall the 2nd recovery? Its not particularly annoying, I just feel the device would boot faster. There's a slight pause following vibration as the device waits for any input to get into recovery.

I use the "toolbox" uninstaller file from nuts Xperia files page.
Boot into custom kernel recovery, flash the toolbox file, flash your kernel again and reboot.

Yep, thats the one. Works well for me.

Flashed it, and it worked! Second recovery is gone. Didn't have to flash boot.img, still had my first recovery.

Thank you for your help!

Bootloop with SLiMM 3.6/3.7

Hi there, I have experience with flashing ROMs and getting out of bootloops, but this is my first time flashing a custom kernel. Despite having read every post in this thread, I'm still having trouble understanding some of the installation steps.

First of all, do I need to clean flash the SLiMM ROM, which apparently means wiping the system partition from recovery before flashing the new ROM? And if this is true, I need to wipe data, dalvik and cache afterwards? The only time I tried to wipe system first, my phone rebooted while I was flashing the ROM and I had to flash the old 2.8.0.1 recovery from fastboot to be able to do anything.

Second, the DRM Fix thread says I need to wipe data before installing it. Does anyone know why? And if I've made a Nandroid backup before wiping it and installing the DRM fix or custom kernel, does restoring the data partition mess it up? If I install the custom kernel instead of the DRM fix, do I need to wipe data before or after, or both? I honestly don't remember whether my latest Nandroid backup was before or after I flashed the DRM fix, so restoring data might cause problems with the kernel.

And finally, some people here say that we need to flash the kernel from the recovery, and others say from fastboot or flashtool. Is there any essential difference between what can be flashed in these different cases? I have only been flashing from recovery.

So now to my problem. I can boot the SLiMM 3.6 ROM fine (and install the 3.7 OTA) and restore the data partition, but any time I try to flash the custom kernel (with or without restoring data) I get a bootloop. On first boot I generally make it to the "Optimizing apps" screen, and at a certain point it reboots and goes into a bootloop that only shows the Sony logo. Perhaps this means that one of my apps is incompatible with the kernel?

I can get out of the bootloop by restoring the boot partition in the kernel recovery. Each time before the last time I flashed the kernel I only had one recovery (solid orange), but the last time I managed to have both. I haven't tried Nut's uninstaller, but does anyone think this would fix my bootloop?

I also flashed TWRP to the FOTAkernel partition at a certain point. I don't know whether this could cause an issue.

So for installation, is the following order correct?

1. Enter recovery.
2. Wipe system (for some reason, SLiMM creator Wajk is very insistent about not using advanced wipe if we need a clean flash).
3. Flash SLiMM ROM 3.x + any new OTAs (or any other compatible ROM).
4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik (factory reset).
5. Flash the Elite kernel (although one person said he had to boot into the SLiMM ROM first, then go back into recovery and flash).
6. Install system apps such as Xposed, Cerberus, etc.
7. Restore data.
8. Reboot into kernel recovery.
9. Run Nut's recovery uninstaller to wipe second recovery.
10. Reboot and pray.

Does this sound about right? If not, what am I missing?

Hello friend or to install slim clean my system I leave in peace not usually touched packages roms are in charge of it to install the kernel elite V3-2-1 I the minimal adb installed by the install-law since the bootloop get zip file.
Kernel decompresses the file and installs only the boot.img
by adb.

So you're saying the only thing I did wrong was to install the zip file from TWRP, instead of extracting the boot_Z3.img file and installing it from adb?

Also, I don't understand "installed by the install-law".

Is a Latin expression sorry if you understood a little bad and if the kernel is installed by adb.
use these commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img
but I think I will know greetings that command.;)
