Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find a working link to the stock, post-OTA kernel for T-Mobile US G2's? The link here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836042) no longer works.

I'm running the stock rom with root, s-off, pershoot's kernel,but pershoot's kernel no longer supports froyo - and his past froyo kernels break my wifi tethering and sometimes my wifi altogether. Sad, but essentially my rooting process seems to have been in vain - I'm not really happy with any of the developed roms, because none of them seem to ever be working perfectly (gps not working, wifi broken, gapps impossible to install, netflix works - sometimes!, etc.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Link for the kernel or the link to the thread?

UPDATE:

Turns out Firefox was being weird and not displaying the page properly. I got it now, and I am running the stock kernel. It sucks that developers are only developing kernels for undeveloped platforms! Beauty and curse of this awesome site, I suppose. Thanks for your quick response.

I don't want any other enhancement in the kernel,because i just want to make my phone to support BLN. my Phone is Nexus s i9020 with 2.3.4 no root and not going to root.

Anyone could kindly send me the update.zip file for it? my gmail acc is tmzpro.

thanks a lot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
you need to unlock your bootloader to even flash a kernel.

without rooting and all of that.. you wont be able to replace your kernel
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmzpro:
OK may be i have to unlock the recovery,i saw the thread'[MOD][JVH] BackLightNotification v3.0 - led notifications by touchkey backlight' in the i9000 forum,it‘s not mentioned of need unlock recovery for the last methods .

unlock and install third-party recovery make some risk of my data in the phone,i think i should give up.

but still thank you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
... are you serious? You're looking at BLN for the I9000. This is the Nexus S not the I9000. The I9000 when you root unlocks the bootloader. The Nexus phones and SE phones are the only phones that can open the bootloader with a command. Other phones open its bootloaders by a exploit. They unlock the bootloader without even knowing it.

https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.bln.control.free&feature=search_result

In order to flash another kernel you need to have a unlocked bootloader. Without unlocking the bootloader you are unable to change the phone's kernel. Motorola phones are rooted and stuff with a LOCKED bootloader and they are forced to use the stock kernel all the way because of a signed bootloader (locked).

You need to unlock your phone. Upon unlocking and flashing a new kernel this will remove the ability to receive further OTAs. So you might as well root & flash ROMs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XJIOP:
Guide to set BLN control for Nexus S without being root:

Download ClockworkMod recovery.img and modify stock (rom) kernel from James Bond.

Save both files in the SDcard on phone.

Start bootloader (turn off phone, hold the volume button and power at the same time).

Start a command prompt on your computer (Start > Run > cmd)

In the cmd enter command fastboot.exe oem unlock

Turn off the phone and re-enter the bootloader, see step 4.

In the cmd enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Next, click on the phone recovery, restart the phone in recovery mode modified system.

In the recovery click install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > and select our zip file whose name in step 2.

Turn off the phone and start again bootloader, see step 4.

In the cmd enter command fastboot.exe oem lock

Restart phone and enjoy working BLN control.

hi all,

I have a T-mobile HD2 and after install Wifi router off the net, the notification window which I use to get after clicking on the battery or network signal on the top bar is not displaying any more. Whenever there was an notification on top bar for new incoming message or missed call I use to get this notification window but now after install wifi router or probably some settings has changed this notification window seems to have disappeared.

Now if i click on the network signal or battery icon on top bar nothing seems to happen, if I repeated click on the icon a mini window for setting the data connection for comm manager shows up.

any idea how to get this notification back.

i searched the forum a lot and on net but could not find anything related to this.

help much appreciated.

Uh, doesn't Sprint roam and data roam on Verizon?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
You can't flash a sprint phone to work on Verizon's network. It doesn't work
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
They do not but not exactly. Go look at the data bands on a tech sheet for a verizon phone vs a sprint phone.

And even if they were the same, they lock the esn number
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dowmace:
Im using a verizon prl on my nexus right now and it uses their 3g...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
once they find out you are doing that they will ban you from the network. have fun having your contract terminated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igotsanevo4g:
Not true. Sprint has roaming contracts for a reason, and we have unlimited roaming.

I've never seen anyone's contract get terminated over it, then fine, make a trip to t mobile. :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_123:
This is true. Sprint and Verizon offer network reciprocity in their roaming contracts. They will work, technically, on each others networks, but the ESN lock would disallow a change.

I run a Verizon PRL on my wifes Epic and it functions just fine on Verizon towers, but will always show as "roaming". We have not had our contract termed after almost four years with various phones, because it will still default to Sprint tower first.

There are guides on how to get a Verizon PRL loaded, so go give it a try. No harm in it if you dont **** up your profile...but even then, Sprint is pretty cool about reprovisioning.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Yes you can run a Verizon prl on a sprint phone. You can't flash a sprint phone to Verizon though. It just doesn't work. And that's what the op wanted to know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david7586:
Actually, it is possible to get a Sprint phone on Verizon, but it would involve changing of the MEID/ESN, which is illegal. More or less, you trick Verizon into thinking its one of their own phones. You could try your local metroPCS, Cricket, or US Cellular dealer as they might have the experience to do this. Also, try mobile-files.us.

Also, just to re-affirm, Verizon and Sprint share the same bands 3g and 1x.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookout4theyeti:
Sprint will boot you for too much roaming. Also, your roaming is not unlimited. 200mb of data roaming is all you get. Also if you use more than half of your normal voice usage in roaming, sprint can terminate your contract. I have seen it happen, I work for sprint.

This may be different when you actually use a verizon prl as I don't know how that looks to sprint on their systems. I've never tracked usage while using a verizon prl.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DtownJeff:
I have read many forums and have flashed new PRLs with QPST but have never really got it to function properly. What PRLs are working for you guys (Verizon or hybrids) and what steps do you take after you write the PRL to your phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernosoft:
Exactly what does using Verizon's prl do? I'm a little new to all of this, but to my understanding, you can basically constantly roam on Verizon's 3g network? If so, does the phone struggle at all deciding which tower to connect to (thus hurting battery life)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dowmace:
I'm using a hybrid PRL that will roam on sprint and runs normally on verizon. Where I work verizon is not available so I use sprint all day while I'm there but when I'm at home I am using Verizon, the speed difference is incredible in some places, I might get 100Kb down with sprint and 300Kb with verizon, or the opposite it doesn't always work out it your favor.

And to the guy saying I'm going to have my contract terminated, why are you being such a jackass? No they aren't going to terminate me for roaming 100megs a month. Not everyone abuses the system.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickespi:
*THEY mostly CARE ABOUT DATA ROAMING! SO DONT USE DATA CRAZY!!

* WHEN YOU ROAM U USE YOUR ANYTIME MINUTES*

DON'T GO OVER 300 MB in data Monthly*

ALSO NOTE that if you abuse this u get a warning letter** Ur not just dropped..

Those are the basic rules. Ive long been using a HYBRID PRL!!! and works wonders...For those who need it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernosoft:
Can you guys point me to where I can find the Sprint/Verizon hybrid PRL please?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickespi:
look under my name and the posts i made.. I have a tutorial
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Verizon and Sprint have the same frequencies. The only thing preventing you from activating the phone on Verizon would be the ESN not in their database; they will only activate phones in their database.

I know you can definitely activate it on MetroPCS/Cricket. If you just have no signal in certain areas and want to force roaming, download Roam Control. I think it's like $4 but it works beautifully and the dev even just added a homescreen widget so you don't even have to go through the app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookout4theyeti:
Not being a jackass. Just giving you the right info. I manage a sprint store, I've had customers that have been booted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
You're right. I've gotten a warning letter. The rule is this:

If more than half the minutes you use each month are roaming minutes, 3 months in a row, you get a warning. Do it again and you get terminated. If you roam a lot on data (more than a few megs) continuously, same thing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboKern:
This is correct.. Verizon and Sprint use the same technology CDMA. ATT and T-Mobile use GSM/TDMA which is why their phones are interchangeable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboKern:
This is also correct... :)

:mad:Hi , i write from italy. I have a N1 and i am trying to install this Rom.

Updated to radio 5-12.00.08 and HBoot 0.35.0017

Format the MicroSd SanDisk 16 Gb class4 with 128 Mb swap , ext4 2048 .

Use Sdformatter and parted magic 6.1

With previous versions (1.5 , 2.1 and 2.2 ) i had no problem.

Now , with 2.3 , after flash Rom N1 remains blocked with X colored and padlock.

In an italian forum showed the kernel evil as a novelty compared to previous versions.

I have installed the kernel evil indicated in 3D ( vers. 2.2 ) With RcAds vers. 2.2 Functioning and , to rebott N1 blocked.

I downloaded from this 3D the kernel evil 35-9 -11-2 -720p-ir-svs and patch of the camera..

I have installed rom , kernel and patches, and at the end done reboot..

N1, after the boot , always stuck to X colored.

Fullwipe , after formatting , is indispensable?

Mistaken some transition or may be my N1 to have problems?

Rcadc 2.1 2.2 & -Cyano 7.0 .x 7.1 are working properly.

Help me please.

Sorry for the bad english.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Did you follow the script?

No swap required, and 2GB ext4 can be unstable, 1GB is more than enough.

And try first with standard kernel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perlasca:
Hi ,I have followed the script step by step.

I have carried out several times the total wipe , but the final result is always the same: N1 blocked.

I tried also adb logcat during boot , but does not pass anything.

Reinstalling the Vers.2.2 everything works , also adb logcat.

These tests were made with a new Sd 4 Gb.

Therefore it is not a problem of the Sd and N1 , seems to be the Vers.2.3 not part on my N1.

I don't know tests do.

Thank you for the answer

How were you able to take pics and vids if you were getting the black screen? Did you access the camera using another app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Before I flashed my new kernel I made a backup of the stock kernel - this should ALWAYS be done when doing kernel development for an occasion just like this! :)

I backed up my kernel in recovery by doing

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 > /sdcard/stock_kernel.img

In fact you need to do this in order to extract/repack the ramdisk image if you ever wanted to modify the init.rc, etc.

Restoring the stock image can be done in the bootloader with fastboot on your host machine:

fastboot flash boot /path/to/stock_kernel.img

In addition to backing up the stock kernel image from the boot partition I always backup the stock kernel modules in /system/lib/modules in case something goes wrong - usually its getting the wifi module to load.
