Aimed primarily at those who have unlocked bootloader and want to root .569 firmware. Can also be used as a daily driver.
Stock kernel with only recovery added using @osm0sis's Android image kitchen. (Big thanks to him :) )

Instructions:

  • Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. (Backup TA partition on directly rootable firmware beforehand if unlocking for the first time.)
    Ensure you have @Chainfire's latest SuperSU.zip from here SuperSU-v1.89.zip on your internal or external SD card.
    Flash the boot.img from HERE with flashtool or command line.
    Reboot, and press volume up when blue LED comes on to enter Philz CWM Advanced Edition recovery,
    Or volume down to enter TWRP
    Flash SuperSU-.zip from where ever you stored it.
    Reboot - Done:good:

@Cookie Ninja for providing the required files.
@iamsuperuser for solving the button press issue when booting into recovery
and of course DoomLoRD for his tutorials, Ramdisk, scripts etc

@shoey63

Is it working on your device ? Is it also C6502 or other

I see what you did in the new kernel , you changed the recovery-ramdisk .

I tried that too with others from CM 10.2 and CM11.0 kernels but no luck.

The phone boots.....vibrates & purple LED appears......i press vol-up several times....phones boots into the homescreen.

Everything works fine but the CWM window never appears.

Thats why i'm asking you again where did you get the kernel source ? I cannot find it on sony developer world

No, it's pure Stock.
Confirmed working by user Supergen2.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Stiil not working on mine.

I dont know how Supergen2 managed to get it working i would like to know.

I flashed stock ftf before flashing the kernel so there were no mods interfering with the kernel.

Can anyone help ?

Did you try to boot into recovery via adb?
adb reboot recovery
So you can test if it is a general problem with recovery or with pressing keys in.the boot process.

When I had a recovery on my phone (I currently don't have one, and it had not been this recovery kernel by shoey) I was only able to boot into it via adb or the app X-Parts.

Via adb it says my device is offline

what does that mean ?
