zKernel_22062011 modded for GB/CM7

(should work on both CM7.0.3 & CM7.1.0)

THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL AND I DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT UR ROM WILL WORK PROPERLY AS SYSTEM FILES WILL BE CHANGED

Do it at your own risk and it's not supported by the rom dev (jerpelea / others)

[ Screenshot ]

[ Using ]

kernel => zKernel_22062011

ramdisk => FreeXperia_kernel_beta12b_128mhz (GB)

[ All credits go to ]

zdzihu (kernel)

jerpelea [FreeXperia Team] (ramdisk)

me [splicing these two together ;)]

Chumby_666 / aZuZu (working hard to get the custom kernel boot tools ready ;) )

u guys for testing these thing we cook-up :)

[ Requirements ]

CM7/GB rom

Baseband 2.1.xx (preferably 2.1.67) (you can download it from BaseBand Collection)

Baseband patch (2.1.xx) for GB from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053221 use the file cm7bb54.zip

[ Download links ]

boot.img only:

http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/custom_kernels/boot.img/boot.img_zKernel_22062011_GB_1.zip [mirror]

wifi module only:

http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/custom_kernels/modules/modules_zKernel_22062011_wifi_CM7.zip [mirror]

[ HOW-TO install on CM7 ]

make sure that ur rom supports custom kernel booting (CM7 by default supports custom kernel booting)

take a FULL NANDROID/RECOVERY BACKUP before testing any of this

power off device flash baseband 2.1.xx (preferably 2.1.67) using flashtool

boot device and immediately get into recovery

flash baseband patch cm7bb54.zip (if ur rom doesnt support baseband 2.1.xx) [CM7, as of now, doesnt support 2.1.xx]

flash boot.img

flash wifi module

restart device now it u should get this kernel and rom working on CM7/GB

if ur GB rom doesnt support custom kernel then u need to follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13022717#post13022717

before doing anything from here... ( only skip the part when-in u have to flash baseband 2.0.52 & related patch) [i will update that guide in a while]

if ur GB rom already supports baseband 2.1.xx THEN DO NOT FLASH BASEBAND PATCH

Known issues:

even though i am using a ramdisk which sorted out the dhcp issue with wifi i personally have the problem that i have to use static-ip... please do so if u are unable to conenct to wifi with dynamic ip...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Hey Gloss, I've managed to run the new Kernel on my XTW 007 custom kernel.

The steps if somebody is interested:

1. Flashed bb 67 with flashtool (thanks to R, A and B)

2. Reboot phone, no signal

3. in xrec flashed bb patch 54+ (thanks to C)

4. Reboot phone, but no signal

5. in xrec flashed z kernel for froyo (thanks to Z and D) and wifi fix.

6. reboot phone, again no signal and the old kernel 3.52

7. with root explorer in /syste/kernel/ deleted boot.froyo.img and rename boot.img to boot.froyo.img

8. Reboot phone and voila, Signal + new kernel

Now I'm exploring :P

As this guy above mentioned the underclock, i'm still able to uc to 128 mhz. That's very odd, since in Zs' screenshot the minimum clock speed is 254. Maybe that's because i came from tkymgrs' k 3.52 ???

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high_voltage:
If when fully 100% charged my phone battery voltage shows 4199mV(same as when it was with stock unrooted rom), do I need to calibrate still?

Second: To do calibration on my desire hd is it enough just to delete batterystats.bin file when my phone is on 100%/max voltage charge? Then use it as normally? Because I read like few methods to do that(like delete the file--->full discharge-->full charge or delete the file--->that's all, use it normally).

Sorry to bother you with, I am sure, such a easy noobish questions answered 300 times in 1000 threads, but I read so many opinions... some even say after calibration their actual battery life degrade? Thanks for your answers! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
If its working fine for you there is no need to calibrate.

The proper method to calibrate is to charge until the battery takes no more current (ie Current Widget shows 0 milliamps) then delete batterystats.bin, unplug the charger, fully discharge until it turns off, then fully charge.

Its impossible to degrade the battery life by calibrating. Calibrating shows a more accurate reading of the actual charge. That only means that these people who have experienced a "degrade" were used to values that were higher than they were meant to be before and calibration corrected it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alge30:
on the market, you have very nice app, is called: "Battery Calibration", easy to use, recommended.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
I used "Root Battery Calibrator" myself. It has a little red robot as an icon. But all these apps do is delete BatteryStats.bin so they are kind of useless if you know what you're doing with the system files and directories.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alge30:
clockwork mod also deletes BatteryStats.bin, so i think it's an easy with this app, because i dont need to go to clockwork just to delete batt stat.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuwaus:
Personally I believe it's good to do a calibration after flashing a new ROM.

I do calibrate the battery every time after I update or flash a new ROM. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kilikizaro:
Okay, I've seen a few people and various threads with this problem:

1. They have a rooted Optimus V

2. they may or may not have flashed a recovery

3. they download ROM Manager and select ROM Manager's Clockwork Recovery

4. they flash a rom and reboot

5. they get stuck in a recovery loop and run around screaming.

This was me yesterday!!

What did I do, then? I downloaded the Fastbootroot tool. That got rid of the ROM Manager's CW Recovery and put in thunderc-v-1.1.0 version recovery... that looped. I tried the 1.2.0 version, which also looped, but I could flash a different recovery, finally. So I downloaded Xionia's Clockwork Recovery and THAT worked. (this next excerpt is from my androidcentral forum post)

here's exactly what I did starting from the thunderc-v-1.2.0 recovery (i'm gonna go into too much detail for other eeijits like me):

download xionia's clockwork recovery and the flash image, unzip both onto your sdcard

put your desired rom on your sdcard (zipped, omg)

get out of usb storage mode

Get ADK Tools if you don't have it (search the forum, this is the easy stuff)

Make sure you're all mounted in mounts and settings in your current recovery.

open cmd, and get into adb shell

(this next part is from zefie's post)

enter the following commands:

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/xionia_cwma_12518.6.img

# reboot recovery

it should reboot into xionia's clockwork recovery mod

clean dalvik cache and mount everything

choose 'fix recovery loop' under ... advanced IIRC, I can't check right now as I'm reloading my stuff onto the fixed phone

after the loop's fixed, get back into recovery and load whatever ROM you fancy.

WIN!

Recovery loop from ROM mgr backup restore...tried Kiona, tried mmarz, what next?

Newb here...BUT, in my defense...I DID NOT DO AN ANDROID SYSTEM RESTORE ON MY ROOTED PHONE!! which seems to be most people's problems with boot/recovery looping. My phone is stuck in a recovery loop after restoring a Clockworkmod backup.

History: I rooted my LG Optimus V running 2.2.2 with gingerbreak a couple of months ago. Per all instructions I could find, I installed SuperUser, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, I also have another backup by Rerware, but I can't remember the name of it. I kept the stock ROM. Everything has been working fine.

I got a 32 gig micro card for Christmas. So, as per instructions found elsewhere, I made a backup to my sd card with ROM Manager, Titanium and Rerware. I copied my sd card to my hard drive, partitioned my new sd card, and loaded the new sd card with the old sd card data. At that point everything looked fine. But the instructions said to restore from my backup which I did with clockworkmod and now I am stuck in a recovery loop.

I completed Kionia CWMA install 1..4 and performed "Fix Recovery Boot Loop" but it did not fix the issue.

I completed Kionia CWMA install 1..6 and performed "Fix Recovery Boot Loop" but it did not fix the issue.

I completed the abd shell instructions "strings/dev/mtd/mtd8" and "flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/mtd8" per mmarz but it did not fix the issue.

I have recovery access. I have ADB running.

What should I do next? Everyone else seems to be fixed with mmarz's suggestion...

Thanks to whoever is out there for any help...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] norwoodesteel:
rom manager is mostly no good on V and the new V screen {after sept.} gets ruined alot by rom manager, so i wouldn't use it

get a compatible recovery at the iho wiki and install

then flash the rom of your choice

if that doesn't work there is lots of help for this in the optimus v "development" section
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zenazulu:
Thanks for your reply. I just wasn't sure what I should do next and your suggestion worked perfectly. And I guess I had to get over the fact that I was going to have to restore from scratch and get over my fear of installing a custom ROM. Luckily, of all the backups I had, Titanium worked BEAUTIFULLY! I was chicken to flash a custom ROM, but I flashed IHO Harmonia and it is beautiful and has been working flawlessly ever since. I shouldn't say flawlessly, I kept getting some gapps error but I was able to look it up easily and fix it.
