[RECOVERY] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 + ROOT for Xperia Z1 {KitKat!} [20140701]

[DooMLoRD]

This is a CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 Touch Recovery for Xperia Z1



Credits and special thanks to Koush and everyone else involved in Cyanogenmod project!​

[ info ]

This recovery is built from CWM Recovery 6.0.4.7 sources and is integrated into stock kernel... I call this an advanced stock kernel with recovery!

the core kernel (zImage) is exactly the same as the one supplied by Sony for that particular firmware... only the ramdisk is changed to add recovery and other features!

I have had no problems with kernel and have tried CWM for backup/restore and installing zip from SD-card :good:
And, yes backup was very slow as indicated in OP.

@DooMLoRD,

will it be ok if i re-lock bootloader using this kernel?

or must really use stock kernel before re-lock bootloader?

will be using flashtool to re-lock it.

no, you will need pure signed stock kernel flashed via FTF....

 

[chunlianghere]

no, you will need pure signed stock kernel flashed via FTF....

will i lose ROOT ?

 

[DooMLoRD]

will i lose ROOT ?

em, root will be there but it may not work correctly as Sony had implemented stuff to stop editing files on /system partition...

 

[chunlianghere]

ok.

if i use flashtool to re-lock n unlock bootloader, my data will still be intact?

 

[Destroyedbeauty]

ok.

if i use flashtool to re-lock n unlock bootloader, my data will still be intact?

Perhaps.. Just try it..

 

[DooMLoRD]

ok.

I don't know, if it has something to do with your advanced stock kernel, or if that app has to be updated: I can't install Antutu anymore. PlayStore says, that my device isn't compatible with this version...

Anyway, I'm waiting for your new custom kernel

e/ Commando back: The reason was to strong restrictions via XPrivacy - now it works!

 

[DooMLoRD]

updated v01 kernel package with recovery flashable version



cheers!
