[KERNEL][T][TX][Stock]-[Root]-[TWRP or CWM]-(unlock BL)

[forest1971]

Update 1: Added TX stock kernel with recovery and root.

These are just latest stock JB kernels for T and XT packed with TWRP or CWM.

For Xperia T (LT30P) The kernel is from Latest firmware Xperia T 9.1.A.1.140 Generic Europe.

For Xperia TX (LT29i) the Kernel is from firmware TX 9.1.B.0.411).

Tested on stock based JB roms and work smoothly.

Credits and thanks:
- Championswimmer for his great Kernel Kitchen
- TWRP team and CWM team for their great recovery
- Doomlord for some of the files from his kernel
- Lilstevie for some of the files from his kernel
- Supersonic335 for the new JB stock firmware where I got kernel from.
- Gregbradley for the rootpackage
- Many others who I have learned a lot from!

Download:

TWRP versions:

T(LT30p)-with TWRP: http://d-h.st/00E

TX(LT29i)-with TWRP: http://d-h.st/xeD

CWM versions:

T(LT30p)-with CWM: http://d-h.st/QqZ

TX(LT29i)-with CWM: http://d-h.st/2iD


How to flash:
- Flash as any other zip using CWM or TWRP.
- Or you can extract the kernel.elf file (from the zip) and flash using fastboot.

How to get into recovery: when seeing pink led press Vol + or Vol - (either will work)!

How to change twrp and cwm?: you have to flash the file with the other recovery.

How to get full root: You can go to G-Play to install Superuser, SU binary and Busybox; Or it is easier to flash this root package by Gregbradley in recovery found in this Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oo1e67ontouzron, then you will have full root.

I made it for my self as an exercise for fun, but guess it could be useful for some people. Don't forget to press thank if you find it useful. Cheers!

This is a test-stock TX kernel-repacked with TWRP 2.5.0.0.

The stock kernel was extracted from the stock JB 4.11 rom for TX, repacked with TWRP. The stock rom was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217699

Will need some advanced user to test it. I only have XT so cannot test it.

Flash the kernel.elf file via fastboot:

Before flash make sure you know how to get back if kernel does not work.

Let me know how it goes.

Somehow, I could not unpack the file you send, but then I found the kernel from the ftf file. Thanks anyways. Cheers.

new veriosn shows twrp 2.5.5.0

thank you

new veriosn shows twrp 2.5.5.0

thank you

Good to know it works. Thanks!
Btw, it seems the older version of twrp has a problem to back up and restore (incomplete restore) so I would recommend to discard the back up you made with twrp 2,4.40 and make a new back up with 2.5.0.0. Cheers,

TWRP 2.5.0.0 seems to have fixed all of these.

I will try to do it with CWM 6.03 later on. Cheers.

 

[asterix005]

cwm would be a lot better if possible

I have tried your TWRP 2.5.0.0 stock kernel on my Xperia TX (LT29). with 9.1.B.0.411 FW. Everything works perfect. No bugs.
I'm waiting for a combination TWRP + CWM, may be if possible with root added!!!
Thanks, thanks, thanks a lot for your work!

I believe that root is already there. You can try to install superuser from Gplay and use some applications that requires root. Let me know if it is working. Cheers!
