standard CWM recovery 6.0.4.7! kernel is insecure (ro.secure=0) disabled kernel level RIC adb debugging is enabled by default in OS TIP: if u are experiencing very slow backup in CWM do this







ITS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO FIRST ROOT ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER AND TAKE TA BACKUP BEFORE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK!





for flashing this kernel you WILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER! Check this thread for more info (same steps as Xperia Z1 are used for Xperia Z2)





UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WITHOUT TA BACKUP WILL LEAD TO IRREVERSIBLE LOSS OF DRM KEYS!!!



[ known issues ]





adb is not working in recovery (can be fixed later)

download the kernel package save it to the sdcard reboot into recovery flash the kernel package using recovery reboot from recovery into system the device should now start booting enjoy the kernel
