[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
It worked :) I copied all the files from the git instead of ln -s.

"Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready"

Thanks for the quick reply.

Then I had to remove comment out CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y line from .config and answer no to two questions when running make.

I used the 4.4.0 toolchain

Now I have the zImage but don't know how it'll work because the CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA probably has something to do with the display type.

BTW I've taken a backup with genokolar's recovery img. When I try this new kernel and if I can't boot, I should be able to get it to boot again by doing a restore from the earlier backup?

Now I'll start looking into packing the kernel to an .img (android-dls.com wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images#Structure_of_boot_and_recovery_images)..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
OK. I copied the boot.img from the phone in bootloader mode, unpacked it with unpack-bootimg.pl. Then I bsdiffed (binary diff) the resulting boot.img-kernel.gz with the Image file I built, the patch file is only 389K so looks like they are quite similar. The only differences may be because of the display thing I changed in the Makefile.

Might try tomorrow to replace the unpacked kernel with the Image file and see if it works. What is the worst case scenario? I should always be able to restore from the old backup if it doesn't boot?

Maybe I'll also try to get the display thing to build right before trying it on the phone :)

edit: I read somewhere the .gz extension in the unpacked kernel file is a bug with the unpacking script, so "boot.img-kernel.gz" is actually the unpacked kernel file (so it should be the same as compiled Image) ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
Looks like the unpack-bootimg.pl and repack-bootimg.pl are not working right for the U8800 boot.img. I just tried to unpack the original boot.img and repack it, I got a blue screen when trying to boot. I could restore the original just by going to bootloader mode and copying back the original.

Any ideas how to unpack and repack the boot.img of the U8800?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
You can repack the boot/recovery images with the following:

./mkbootfs RAMDISK DIRECTORY | ./minigzip > ramdisk-boot.img

./mkbootimg --kernel KERNEL --ramdisk ramdisk-boot.img --base 0x00200000 --pagesize 4096 --cmdline 'console=ttyDCC0 androidboot.hardware=huawei' -o boot.img

I just modified the repack perl script accordingly and added lines so that it will mount cust_backup and transfer the image across for me. Saves heaps of time.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
I used the unpack script from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891333 then modified the line "#$bootimg = substr($bootimg,2048);" to "$bootimg = substr($bootimg,4096);". There's still a difference of 215 bytes with the repacked img, but it works.

Now I can test the kernel I built myself. Thank you for the help.

edit: Looks like the built kernel doesn't work, now I can start tackling that :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wmi543:
CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y

if you see only blue screen when you boot your own kernel, refer to my experience, edit .config, change 2 lines as below instead of comment out CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y should fix it

CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_AUTO_DETECT=y

CONFIG_FB_MSM_TRY_MDDI_CATCH_LCDC_PRISM=y

BTW, there is a tool "abootimg" which is quite handy for packing the kernel

http://gitorious.org/ac100/abootimg
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
Works! great! Thanks for the help. Hopefully soon I can release my fixed kernel :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Sorry, I'm new to Android. What advantages are there if you get the stock kernel or whatever?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
"Stock" means the kernel that comes with the phone when you buy it. I just wanted to build it so I could modify it. I created a modified kernel that allows you to use the internal mic with headphones or for example when you connect the phone to your car stereo. The modified kernel is in the other thread.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
So with custom kernel you can achieve more functionality just like normal linux? Good. Would be awesome.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Fox:
Hi All,

I've just gotten myself the new SS2 and all was perfect. Well, perfect up until I installed the latest firmware highlighted in my Kies 2.0 program. Now, when I turn on my phone I get this error message: com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. This error message is not present when I remove the SIM card and restart.

I've tried doing a factory reset both with and without the SIM card installed. The problem does not go away

As far as I can tell, the phone seems to be working normally otherwise. What's going on?!?

Here are the details:

Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100

Kernel version I9100XXKDJ

Gingerbread.XWKE2

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walda:
It is said that KE2 has problems with orange networks. are u at orange?

if so, use KE1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Or use Odin to flash a generic software .Or just a kernel .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Fox:
Thanks for the replies! yes I am with Orange. Damn.

If I install KE1 will I be given the option to reinstall the firmware? Apart form the error message, my phone seems to be working. Should I wait for the next update and do it via KE1?

Thanks for all the help so far, much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone-Fu:
Just use ODIN to reflash the KE1 firmware, that solved the problem for me. I'm not gonna bother with KE2 until it's sorted (which might be never, knowing Samsung).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmikey:
Hi, Im on Orange too...so Im reluctant to upgrade via Kies based on your experience and th eadvice here. Keis is offering me KE2, did you find a way of using KE1 without rooting i.e via Keis?...I dont feel confident enough with my new phone to start rooting just yet. If not ill wait till KE3...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Firmware KE1 on Three UK

To reproduce:

Turn power saving mode on , with a battery at 50%, set to trigger at 70%

... the power saving mode turns on OK

Now set it to trigger at 10%, your battery still at 50%, and turn it on

... surprise! it's still on

In fact you won't be able to turn it off now unless you completely turn it off as part of the first option in settings, irrelevant of battery left.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
wouldn't it be just helpful when people post bugs/faults etc to write down what firmware they are on? especially ANYTHING that is vaguely related to software.
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:

[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
He's not acting like an ***, he's just pointing out that bugs should be reported where they belong. xda-developers doesn't write the official samsung firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
exactly and how can we help you when you didn't give us any info? We can't help you unless you help us.

Sorry if I sounded like a ***. Its just that there have been so many numpties on the original SGS forum and was dreading them overflowing over here. Tiring us out with same old questions and demands whilst they don't give us any basic obvious info to work from.

Regarding your problem I tried this last night before I went to bed and it worked fine for me (on both brightness levels)

Maybe I'm its because I'm on the updated firmware. You should do the same. KE2
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
OK no worries :)

I'm not a numpty I didn't expect to receive support from these forums, I just wanted to share that I had found this hoping it would help others.

But it's all water under the bridge now, I'll update to KE2 and will report back.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] bigmo7:
I found that it doesn't enable the stuff it disables either like background sync while I'm charging my phone, I'll try it on KE2 and see if it still behaves that way.
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
i have noticed this too..from running the KE1 and KE2 firmware.

i set my power save to battery less than 30% - reduce screen brightness to 10%, screen off time 5 secs and turn off everything [like wifi].

i have found that this works as expected, when the battery gets to 30% it informs me and asks if i want to switch to power saving mode, which i accept. then when i recharge my phone and unplug it keeps the 10% brightness setting and short screen off time.

to rectify this i have to go into settings and display and retun then to what i want. then when it dropps to 30% it activates, when charged, same thing happens.

duno whats causing this or how we could rectify it :-(

I couldn't tell you where I'm at. All I've done is follow the steps, downloaded EZOdin V1.70 and this;

Repartition is not mandatory, but it does not hurt to repartition the phone.

Start Phone in Download Mode (No Cable Attached)

Open EZOdin.

- Check Re-Partition

- Select EZbase.pit as PIT

- Select EZbase-PDA-XWJS3.tar.md5 as PDA

- Select EZbase-PHONE-XXJVE.tar.md5 as PHONE

- Select EZbase-CSC-XXJV1.tar.md5 as CSC

checked everything it says and pressed start. The message box is up to;

<ID:0/007> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

and has been that way for a good 10 minutes.

keep me informed m8
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
I think that's the froyo 2.2.1 ezbase base. On the first page, there should be a jvb (I think) ezbase download.

10 minutes is too long, pull battery, disconnect usb, close ezodin, reopen, re-add files, go to dl mode on phone, connect usb, wait for yellow light in ezodin, press start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
Do you have 3 button combo?

If so...

Download STOCK JVH gingerbread with bootloaders.

Follow instructions on JVH thread in the first post.

I would go into recovery, factory reset and format internal sd card before flashing.

Use 512.pit and repartition and use odin.

You can get odin and 512 pit from samfirmware.com

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -IK-:
In my opinion, just get a stock JVH ROM from Ramad

Get it here

Run the .exe and the 3 files will be unpacked.

Try using Odin 1.3 to flash. I had problems with the phone not booting when I used 1.7

I'm using a 513 Pit so that's what I recommend. 513 was made a day after 512 so it makes me think it may correct some problems as no one knows the full theory behind Partition Information Tables (PIT) files.

When the phone boots for the first time, go into the phone dialler and put in the code below to factory reset the phone. This seems to cure issues that may occur if you just start using the phone as normal.

[Xoom General] hatworthy:
Hello,

I'm not new to rooting, but the Xoom scene is very confusing at the moment and I just need somebody to direct me to the proper guides and confirm that I'm not going to blow up my Xoom and/or tear a hole in the space time continuum.

Situation is this: I have a stock UK wifi Xoom and want to get to Android 3.1. I'm not willing to wait until 2013 for Motorola to pull the finger out and give their European customers an update.

SO

Obviously I need to root and apply the update manually.

I'm willing to risk the one-click method (I've seen other UK Xoomers have had some success with it).

Where do I go from there? One-click method says it will install tiamat kernel... but I've read that this isn't compatible with 3.1. So is there a guide that will take me from tiamat to 3.1? Do the update methods replace that kernel anyway? Am I going to go completely f*cking crazy if I have to trawl through another 50+ page thread full of conflicting info? (Yes.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Xoom General] Rovman:
Im not an expert at any of this, just a regular user but heres the guide i followed to get my uk wifi xoom updated. Http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074609

However you need to be aware that this software is the us version and you will ony have access to American English. You will lose all the European languages.

Also you need to be aware that if you unlock your bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" you can not relock it. Trying will brick your zoom. (Currently)

If you could do a full system dump of your xoom as is with the UK wifi software that would be awesome as currently nobody has uploaded one and im trying to get back to stock and Motorola have only posted the us images :(
[Xoom General] hatworthy:
Thanks. I don't mind losing the languages. I'm using SwiftKey so I can just download any language modules I need.

I would certainly be willing to upload that if I had the faintest idea of how to do it! If I can get a step by step guide I can give it a go... and as long as I know I'm not also uploading my personal details and authorisation tokens etc along with the software!

Any particular reason you're going back to stock? Bugs or anything?

Edit: the canadian system image has the full set of languages if that's what you're looking for...
[Xoom General] hatworthy:
Sorry, didn't have time to wait for a reply, going out in a while.

I did a factory reset and then an adb pull so I've got all the system files etc on my PC. Not quite sure what to do with them, though. They're not in .img format, just in a folder?

Anyway, now rooted and running 3.1. Cheers for the link above.
