can I only flash boot so I have recovery? Also what kernel is it? I guess it's not stock 5.1.1? Or is it?

It's the stock firmware.All i did was root it and install the dual recovery.
I would advice to flash the whole firmware if you want to avoid any kind of complications.
And of course make a nandroid backup before flashing.

 

[TrueFriend-cz]

Its no flash zip.

 

[cdou2391]

Its no flash zip.

Can you explain exactly what you did and what happened so we can be able to help you?

The problem is that I already installed stock 5.1.1 and set it up, so I was wandering can you make flashable kernel with recovery? And how did you installed dual recovery? I am curious of how do you do it on newly kernel. I remember it took some time for 5.0.2 kernel to be made with custom recovery.

Btw does it work with C6603 or is it only C6602?

I'll see what i can do for the kernel.
It's for C6602 but you can flash it on a C6603. The only difference is that C6603 supports LTE but C6602 does not.
You can try it if u want to see the differences with the one you have and let me know!
For Dualrecovery, i used PRFCreator to create the pre-rooted firmware and i included Dualrecovery!No need to mess around with the kernel directly!

Hello, I think you can't.

Because boot isn't in BIN format you can't flash only kernel. And it's in multiple parts, boot, fotakernel, dualrecovery.

I'm too looking for stock kernel with recovery to root, I have unlocked bootloader.

See picture

If you are talking about flashing it using recovery,either CWM or TWRP, he definitely can.
All you have to do is place the .zip file in your sdcard,boot into recovery on your phone,do the necessary wipes and install the .zip.That's all.

But if you are talking about flashing it using flashtool then yes he can't use this file.For that he needs the FTF files which isn't the one provided here.

He is talking for flashing only kernel, but nevermind that, I already installed your ROM, works fine, only problem is that in recovery i can not mount system, and every attempt to flash a mod is giving me error, is there any solution for that?

It think that's because the framework for Xposed isn't installed so you can't falsh any mods.I do not use Xposed so i didn't include it in the .Zip

But i don't use xposed and i could flash mods before..
I am talking about mods like L Speed, dual speaker mod,etc those i can't flash, but I'll try to flash Xposed framework and see how it goes

Let me know how it works out?

 

[irfanbd94]

Someone Please share c6602 5.1.1 ftf firmware download link please(not c6603)

 

[-CRO-Maher]

Let me know how it works out

hey man, I can't flash a thing through recovery, it always says system is not mounted, and when I go and try to mount it, it wont let me. So i thought perhaps it problem with TWRP but Phillz recovery does the same, can you check if you are able to flash something?

Give me a link of one of the mods you are trying to flash and i'll try it and see how it goes.

 

[urbient]

have the same problem , system cannot be mounted therefore any attempt to flash anything to inject into the system over twrp is doomed . i tried to flash the drm workaround for lost noise reduction functionality in the camera . i did advanced wipe with all partitions cleared only internal sdcard unticked . cheers n thanks for the rom

 

[arash74]

umm... sorry but apparently, the name of file in download page is c6603. are you sure it's for c6602?

Yes,it's just a naming mistake on my part.
But the only difference is the support of LTE.everything else is the same
