Hey guys I dont know how many of you have noticed this but the Xperia Z2 has a "two step" booting process... first an initial kernel is booted, the one which shows the "Sony" logo.. and after that the custom kernel get booting... it might be using some sort of Kexec may be?
i noticed this when i saw that it was taking longer in boot process and it was not showing my custom bootlogo... so i investigated and this is waht i found in the dmesg:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # dmesg | grep logo
dmesg | grep logo
<6>[ 3.378925] Skip drawing logo. Already drawn in boot.
<3>[ 9.679902] init: cannot open '/initlogo.rle'
if i compare it against the Z1:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # dmesg | grep logo
dmesg | grep logo
<6>[ 4.366685] Drawing logo.
<3>[ 10.875083] init: cannot open '/initlogo.rle'
[email protected]:/ #
i have hacked the code to show my custom bootlogo so i am happy but it might be interesting to see what we can do if we can access that "base kernel"... may be we can explore proper multi-boot solutions?
what do you guys think?
P.S.: this is ment ONLY for DEVELOPERS to discuss... noobs/thank-you posts ARE NOT WELCOME!
only post if you have something useful to contribute...

yo dude,
i am assuming that it is not part of the "boot.img" and is in another partition ( bootloader ? )
pvy
Can fotakernel has some part of it? If we unpack it we can see general kernel. Also we can flash recovery to fota and it will work (tested on Z1).

fota kernel is different...
u cant fash recovery on fotakernel and use it to boot... what was done for Z1 was to use fotakernel as a location to store recovery ramdisk... main kernel still has to boot to extract the recovery ramdisk..

Is sony going the Google way somewhat? Nexus bootloaders have their Google images into them by default. Hence kernels don't have any boot logo. May be something similar to it. Not exactly but something in relation with it

Even Samsung and LG are like that if you see. On each boot the device name appears along with samsung logo. On LG, the LG logo appears. If it doesn't change with kernels, either all kernels use that bootlogo only, which is very big coincidence or the images sit in the bootloader.

Did previous Xperia phones allow you to change the "first" Sony bootlogo in kernel? That would be weird and unusual for Android phones.

there was never a "first" sony logo... u change logo.rle and it will show you that at every boot...
but this is different behavior, typical of 2-stage/chain loading...
may be the Z2 uses a LK type bootloader?

well for sony xperia phones this is a BIG abnormality! of all the devices i have worked on so far (25+ xperia phones) this is the first one to do something like this!
Seems quite different. Nothing like that in my Xperia T2 ultra.
Code:
<6>[ 1.673444] Drawing logo.
<3>[ 7.190843] init: cannot open '/initlogo.rle'

From experience with an old LG device the actual bootloader showed its own logo, then the boot image showed its own logo, then finally the Android boot animation would start.
On a stock ROM you couldn't tell this as LG used the same image in the bootloader and the boot image. However in the upgrade from Android 2.2 to 2.3 they changed the image, so when flashing CM after upgrading the bootloader you would see two different LG logos.

ya I have seen that on my LG Optimus One...
the point is that Sony has traditionally never used such a "Bootloader logo"... even in the Z Ultra GPe there is no such thing...

I re-checked they work perfct on new version! You have to wipe every time for every new screen n then flash and reboot...sometimes twice! About 2 dif logos i may bdd wrng but cynogen mod have different source then of a stock the logo is embedded somwhere in code just like you have bootanimation inside a framework.MARCNVIDIC WOULD KNW MORE ABOUT THIS SINCE HE IS THE CYNOGEN MOD GURU! and there is already a guide by tj_style!
Would this work on the nexus one running cyanogen mid 7.0.2.1?

[Info]
Have you ever got frustrated with all the key pressings during boot to enter in recovery, OR by mistake forgot to press Volume UP / Volume Down key and instead booted ROM?
Here is a simple hack which provides options to enter recovery during device booting..
[Preview]
[Available features]
Continue booting your device
Boot into recovery mode
ADB recovery support (It helps a lot )
extendedcommands in normal boot mode
[Requirements]
One of these mobiles: CherryMobile Magnum, Wellcomm A99, Spice CSL Mi 410 etc. (rooted / un-rooted)
ROM: Andro-ID_RC2 (tested) or any official ROM (not tested)
Not supported for Cyanogenmod or MIUI releases as of yet
Working CWM recovery
[Installation Instructions][Using CWM recovery]
Copy Boot_menu_v1.0.0.1_signed.zip in sdcard
Boot into recovery (Steps are given below for how-to-boot-into-recovery)
Use "install zip from sdcard" option
Locate and choose Boot_menu_v1.0.0.1_signed.zip from sdcard for instllation
After installation reboot system
[Navigation]
(Same as CWM recovery)
Select = Power & Search
Move Up = Home & Vol-Up
Move Down = Menu & Vol-Down
[Releases]
Boot_menu_v1.0.0.1 (Options for boot device and boot recovery) [Download Link]
[Problems]
Not that I know of.
[Disclaimer]
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following/not following this thread.
[Acknowledgement]
DooMLoRD for giving me this idea and help me build this
koush for his CWM bootable recovery sources. (As the interface is build using CWM sources)
[For developers]
I will push my sources on github soon.

as far i found out driver must be in hidden rom directories as " libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so"or .zip maybe
..i don't have any further idea maybe you could explore it..
god pls help ..
or doomlord if you could ask dev chainfire for a little help coz' he is mastermind in all this.. he don't answers newbies like me
but if you could ask him for help & reach the destination then it would be great for all devices with andreno 205 gpu ( the most updated andreno 205 rivers could be found on xperia play )
may you have edit those drivers to target to our wvga resolution.. coz' sony phones have a xwvga 16:9 bigger resolution..

@Napstar, I was talking about this 'GRUB' project. Waiting for needed patch you applied to recovery to make it as you released!
So I took a shot at it and here i present you the 4.4 kit kat Xperia Boot Animation...
Jan 22nd, 2014
The leaked boot animation of Sirius was a disappointment to some so i took a shot at it based on a leaked image by Doomlord and iRimas and also took and edited some images from ahsank128 or respectively from J_M_V_S. Fonts are by sledgeHammer
June 4th, 2014
Original PA4 CM style Boot Animation was made by shmykelsa , I have modified it and removed the CM logo, so it will be easier for any of you to add any logo you want on top of it or just prefer blank.
June 24th, 2014
New style base off the WatchDog bootanimation from [boot animation]watch_dogs_RE_UPLOAD by nin9 so credits to him. So here is my attempt of Android - WatchDog Style. You need to flash it to see as i have trouble creating a gif. I hope you like it though it is not as good as the original one. :/
ALL ZIPS ARE FLASHABLE
Made for 5" phones at 1080x1920
Instructions:
1-Download and put into phone
2-Boot into recovery
3-Flash the file
4-Reboot

+Thanks for the xperia. Watchdogs not good as is needs to be, you should use xperia instead of android text showing in bootanimation, but anyway it's good job!

[ info ]
Hello friends,
so after the sneak peak, i present to you leaked Sony 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware 10.5.A.0.227 for the Xperia Z (C6602/C6603)...
this firmware was ment for developer (brown) devices but i was able to get it to boot on production devices...
THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY!
[ NOTICE ]
PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP ON EXTERNAL SDCARD BEFORE TESTING THIS ROM!!!
since this is an internal testing firmware, do not expect to see the same features on the official final release... some things could be added while others removed...
the firmware is still very laggy, i am sure the final release will be much better!
[ screenshots ]
most screenshots are posted here
[ WARNING ]
PLEASE DO NOT CROSSFLASH THIS ROM+KERNEL... this is ment only for C6602/C6603 (Xperia Z)... please do not flash it on ZL/Tablet Z/etc....
THIS IS AN LEAKED ROM AND NOT THE FINAL RELEASE VERSION
FEW THINGS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO WORK
THIS IS POSTED JUST SO THAT USERS CAN ENJOY THE UPCOMING FEATURES AND OTHER DEVS CAN HELP IN FIXING THE ISSUES
MORE THINGS WILL FOLLOW AS AND WHEN I/OTHERS CAN GET THEM TO WORK
DO NOT ASK FOR FURTHER UPDATES/ETA OF OFFICIAL RELEASE
please backup all data, including internal SDCARD data before flashing this ROM
[ why has this been posted? ]
DooMLoRD said:
many devs can use the libs to improve existing/work-in-progress ROMs...
many themers can start porting to ROMs/devices...
many users will get a feel of whats in store for the JB update...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[ features ]
Easy to flash update.zip via recovery
Prerooted and busybox installed
working CWM recovery is included in kernel
[ To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo) ]
usb debugging enabled
[ whats not working? ]
you tell me!
please report other things as and when you find them
[ requirements ]
unlocked bootloader
previously on stock .101 JB (4.3) ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
supplied ROM
any existing kernel with recovery
OR
just extract the boot.img (contains inbuilt recovery) from the ROM i have uploaded and flash it using fastboot
[ how to install ]
download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
reboot device into recovery
flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WIPE /cache WHILE IN RECOVERY!
thats it now reboot device
at first boot device the NFC firmware will get updated wait for process to be completed
after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!
[ hot tip to reduce LAG!!! ]
Go to Developer Optioms in Settings menu (if this option isnot visible go to About Phone and keep tapping ~7 times on the Build Number, this will unlock Developer Options)
Disable all animations and select Force GPU render (check attached screenshot for reference)
Restart phone
The interface will become a lot smoother now!

I know this is selly but what will happen If I try it on a locked bootloader?
The universe as we know it will cease to exist. Or you could brick your device. Both very bad.

You will soft brick your device. The custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader.

Any idea if/when T-mobile USA will get this update? Thanks.
Has anyone flashed the rom yet? and how is it for the first boot?
@DooMLoRD
Thanks for this, hope you don't mind, I've created an update for those who want to convert it to deodexed:
Download
MD5: 53b2239c9db9ea5a80cc2464343d5738
Just flash via recovery, no issues so far from what little testing I have done
Please don't mirror this as this will ONLY work on DooMLoRD's release.

Thx a lot ! so Screenshots and Pictures made on the internal SD card are(might be!) safe. thx.
P.S Backup of current ROM is for *******! Google Backup saves the Contacts, and all eles is unimportant xD
little warning guys: You must do a full wipe if you planning to go back to 4.3 ROMs So do backups before flashing this
Quick Feedback on ROM:
As DoomLords mentioned it's bit laggy specially when you pulling down status bar drop down menu.
Nothing really special compares to custom ROM such as eXistenZ which already implemented most of the UI changes. But if you coming from a stock ROM you will notice the changes.
Camera quality in superio auto in low light still looks the same.
Oh the joy of having an unlocked bootloader
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
is this laggy as hell like when playing an online game with ping = 2000 ms
or it can be lived with ?
Running this right now on my Xperia Z UK Generic with no problems apart from a bit of flickering just before the 'Xperia' logo on boot. The rom itself seems to run smoothly! It has working 4.4 transparency on Nova Launcher which did not work on 4.3 but did on 4.2 and many other 4.3 bugs have been patched...its looking really promising
Thank you for this demo version @DooMLoRD I can't wait for release

Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot
Unlocking Bootloader/Root/Recovery (Required)
Just follow steps from Sony Developer World Mobile
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
1 - Make sure you have a Recovery pre-installed (via boot partition or bootstrap hack) and Bootloader Unlocked
2 - Download the latest version
3 - Flash it via your recovery
Now you ask "i still have the CWM Philz, what to do?"
You will need a custom kernel with support to load recovery from FOTAKernel, check this
For now only one Custom Kernel support it, the FalconSS Kernel
4 - Flash FalconSSKernel or any other Kernel with this support via recovery
5 - And Enjoy!!!
TWRP3 - Support from Stock KitKat to CM14.1 Based- Zip Flashable - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767133664
Support: All Xperia E1 Variants
How to get into recovery: The LEDs will flash green, in this moment you can press Volume buttons and wait, you will see a Blue/Cyan color in LEDs, you will enter iin recovery.[/B]
No issues related to TWRP3 (If you found someone, just report. Thanks!)

Actualy, the dual recovery exploit, use the bootstrap folder into the root of the storage to boot a recovery without having a UB, then if you want a PhilZ and TWRP, you unlock your BL, flash TWRP 2.8, Caio kernel AND THEN you have dual recovery
Ok, so far I got TWRP flashed, but the problem is it shows the TWRP start logo, but doesn't boot to the UI/Options. I waited for 15 minutes and it didn't boot. Hope this can get fixed

As he said, he havn't tested the recovery
Tested on R0r2 FalconSS Kernel, TWRP 3.0 Passed on Recovery but not on UI/Option on Xperia E1 (D2005). Hope it can be fixed. Good work though.
TWRP 2.8.1.0 R2 is on!
Fixed font size
Fixed device set
Partially fixed mtp
Removed default max brightness
I think so
Not is really NEED to update, but is more good than the previous release
You still need FalconSSKernel or kernel compatible with load FOTAKernel ramdisk
