• bootloader unlocked
• working fastboot

[ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)

1. download the kernel package
2. save the boot.img to the folder containing fastboot binary
3. flash the boot.img using fastboot:
   

   fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. reboot from fastboot
   

   fastboot reboot

5. the device should now start booting, enjoy the kernel

FOR OVERCLOCKING

1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur phone (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)
2. now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit
3. DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY
4. SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours

[ tips / recommendations ]

1. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
   [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports
   
   
2. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features

[ my kernel sources ]

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 !

Thanks for working on this device, it's an amazing tablet i just go root using your method and i want to try your kernel, but unfortunately i've the 311 WiFi only version, so i was wondering if you have plans to release a version for this one. Thank you.

 

[Apo11on]

SGP312 kernel?

Any plans to compile a kernel for SGP312?? (US WiFi only version)

I will compile a kernel for you guys... What is the firmware version you are using .253? Can u send me the kernel.sin from that FTF?

I hope this answers your question about the firmware - see attached.
I understand kernel.sin packs ramdisk and some other stuff, but I'm not sure how to to create it...I just got the tablet this morning - US pre-orders shipped only 2 days ago, so I'm not even rooted yet - about to work on that

root doesnt work

root doesnt work, as myself and others reported in the root threads, so I guess no point of making a kernel until we get a working root exploit for US version of XTZ

It's working i've the same build version and i was able to root my device (SGP311). I did the root on Mac OSX 10.8.3 i just changed the adb binary included on the root as many method, followed the instructions and it worked as expected. Also if you are able to root your device after the script finish it's going to reboot the device, after the reboot, reboot again, install SuperSU from PlayStore since the one integrated is not that good.

When I say "root doesnt work" I mean specifically on SGP312, which is US WiFi only version, as already stated. You have a different device, so the fact it runs same build number means nothing to our ability to root different device. This root does *not* work on SGP312, not only myself but others have reported it as well and I have already tried all the suggestions you made such as reinstalling superuser from playstore, and several other things I could think of.

Hi,

I have been using your kernel on my Xperia Z for quite some time now, many thanks ! Is there any chance you can compile this kernel for the UK or EU SGP311 on 344 ?? I think you should have the firmware files already !

Cheers !

i will create one later... right now busy with other work

You lost me here completely...which "this kernel" are you referring to? I thought you havent made one yet for US WiFi only SGP312 version?
Also, where do I find this "rooting update.zip"? I dont see it in this thread or the root threads....Can it be flashed using stock recovery? Since I dont have root - I dont have CWM.

Here are the two flashable ZIPs:

If you want Superuser app: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
If you want SuperSU app: http://download.chainfire.eu/324/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip

For Superuser, take "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip"
It´s one of the easiest things to get root if you have a recovery.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I don't think superuser files are what I need...Don't see how those help me. I don't have a working fastboot on my XTZ, not sure how to fix this and therefore I cannot boot into fastboot mode and flash any images or zips.

Root instructions for SGP312 users (US WiFi only version)

Finally got it done, here are the steps, hope it helps someone:

1. Unlock bootloader using the key from Sony: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2. Use the root toolkit by Bin4ry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
3. Install kernel with CWM for SGP312 from this thread (at this point the installed superuser denies permission to all apps)
4. Get flashable CWM superuser from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip (thanks Koush!)
5. Boot into CWM recovery and flash CWM superuser
6. Run fix permissions in CWM
7. Reboot

All done.

Can you give quick instructions how to create this kernel.sin? The firmware on the tablet is 10.1.C.0.344

He has 311,and you have 312
I thought the only difference between the 2 is the disk space?(16gig vs 32gig)
So why wouldnt root work?

kernel.sin

@DooMLoRD

I'm on 10.1.C.0.344 also with SGP312 and would like to put in a request for compiling the kernel for this FW.

Here is the kernel.sin

Just a quick question, will the legendary doomKernel hold up to running one of these popular ubuntu ROMs like the one found here?
i.e. is this a "Kernel that supports loop devices" (I don't think the stock FW does..)?

EDIT: I got Linux working on my stock .344 FW/Kernel.

 

[Apo11on]

I wish we had more devs for the tablet...development section is pretty lean, we only got like 10 threads there and most of the work is done by doomlord. It's not surprising he's probably too busy to be compiling kernels for all different models
