[Dev Question] how to make CWM recovery - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello
I just wanted to make a CWM recovery for my phone (Xperia SOLA) with stock kernel build .54 which is not available,
I know how to open kernel and make it again, I just don't know which file should I add, replace or change!
It would be really good to tell me which file should I bring from last CWM recovery (which was for build .10).
thanks in advance

A Plea From A Desperate Forum member

Hi Friends I've recently swiched from xperia ray to xperia j. I still have my ray and keep it up to date with mods & the latest firmware but the j forum is completely deserted were stuck on primitive stock firmware because we have no cwm recovery for our device all we have is a moded miro cwm wich only works on .18 & 28 firmware and the new firmware is 7,5 and we can not update on locked bootloader because the cwm just does not cut it and i dont see a dev to develop it. doomlord is to busy with sudies to help so if any senior developer can help us we would love you to peaces the most bacic thing a part from root is cwm and we dont even have it so please someone help. Just look on the forum and see how deserted it is.

I highly suggest you to contact a kernel developer of our section so that he/she helps you to integrate cwm into the kernel ramdisk ( this will be permanent and not on the system partition ). Also, in default.prop of the ramdisk, make ro.secure=0 for adb root. Once you have CWM, get the latest Superuser binaries from here - http://androidsu.com/superuser/
By this way, any firmware version should become easy to root. I would love to help you, but I don't know how to integrate CWM into ramdisk.
Also, try extracting the zImage and ramdisk from your stock rom using this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659584
I will also try to root your latest firmware. Don't worry, there will be many devs soon. Good luck.
Note : - The above mentioned steps are only for unlocked bootloader, as it is not possible to flash custom kernels with locked bootloader.

[Q] Could really need help for updating recovery mode back to Philz touch

Hello!
I could really need help for updating my recovery mode i don´t get at there is to much information to find the right one i need.
My problem is and some information:
I´m running pac rom i9100-nightly-2013 10 05 at the moment and recovery mode is since a few weeks for a reason i don´t know(had philz touch before):
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.0
But i want Philz Touch back and i don´t want to choose something wrong and brick the phone so i really need your help
Don´t get it which version i can install because of kernel and all that stuff....
Thank you all for your time and helping someone who is lost in information...
Philz kernel/recovery is for stock firmware only.
but..
But i had a recovery with touch control and filemanager a few weeks ago? is it possible that it was included in slimrom i was using before pac rom?
thx
Only rom I've seen it on is neat rom. If you want cwm touch then flash Apollo aokp/cm kernel with modded Philz custom recovery built in. Take care with Apollo as he has both stock and custom kernel now and also twrp and cwm version of the kernels :thumbup:

[SOLVED] Kernel Questions

Phone: C6833
Android Ver.: 4.4.2
Kernel Ver.: 3.4.0-perf-g8c33725
Root: Yes
Bootloader: Unlocked
Hey Guys!
I have a questions related to kernels. I want to install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065
I saw that I need this custom kernel:
https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_sony_msm8974
I don't know how to build it. I did read that i need Linux ?! I'm not sure about this.
Anyways I still don't know how to realize this. I know that I need a .sin or .img file.
I really need help with that
After that, if I manage to flash my phone with that kernel, does it start into recovery or
is any recovery pre-installed on that kernel ?! If no, how do I install/access cwm ?
I can't find any helpful tutorials for flashing custom kernels on my phone.
I think I have this kernel accidently installed now with flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548092
(how can i check what kernel i have and is there any stock 4.4.2 kernel maybe with cwm ?!)
The main question here is, how do I install a kernel for custom roms like cm or paranoid or togari roms, etc. ?
I am very thankful for every helpful answer!
greets

SOLVED: I found out myself. the boot.img is in the zip files -.- I am pretty dumb (Y)

[Xperia P] [General Q?] Flashing, Updating, Tweaking

Hi all;
I recently got my hands on an old Xperia P. with too much pain I put CWM 6.0.1 on it. Right now the phone is running on old stock 4.0.4 sony android. the baseband is u8500-49020908 and the kernel version is "3.0.8+ [email protected] #1".
A) I found "LT22i_6.2.A.1.100_Generic World.ftf". it seems the latest and the last sony generic update. could I flash it using "FlashTool"? (if I do that do I lose CWM that I installed). (Do I need to do this update in order to use custom ROMS).
B) Could I install any kernels with the help of CWM? ( with the condition that the version would be higher) (like nemysiss kernels ....) (could someone explain this topic a bit).
C) Right now I am using CWM. how could I install twrp. the twrp for Xperia P is an script that needs my current boot.img file. where could i get it. ( I have a boot.sin would It worked.)
D) Does "Xposed Framework" work on Xperia P?
Any things That I should know? any tricks that you encountered with Xperia P will doing system tweaks?
Thank You ~/
