Maybe at least Apple's arrogance/ignorance towards other companies and standards will wear off a bit. I think it was a Steve Jobs thing really. Like the thing with no Flash on iOS because "it's bad, evil and unstable" (ok not his exact quote except for the unstable thing ;))

You (all haters) may hate Apple, but Apple is the worlds #1 champion in sales and marketing, and they got my respect for that.

I'm up for buying a new device soon, and it might be the iPhone 5. That doesn't mean that i'll leave XDA. Because i'm not a fanboy of any kind, so i can go and purchase an iPhone and still use my DHD and hang around here, and i can (i will) hang at MacThemes (again) and do whatever i do there without any problems. You see? It's easy! :p

Hi im just need some help i rooted my galaxy s 4 g n i download rom manager and download the lastes recovery but whe i try to flash a rom i cant i have a recovery blue no red what i need to do for make this work??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Read the billion comments about rom manager not working for our phone. Seriously though if you go over to the dev section and find the cwm final thread by krylon360 and follow that you will have cwm yellow. This does not have voodoo support(red cwm) to get that you need to flash the Bali kernel after you do krylons cwm final.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
If I upload custom kernel on my Galaxy S with 2.3.4 JVQ, is it possible to revert to original JVQ kernel in order to check if same issue will appear on original kernel to detect if custom kernel has bug?

Flash as pda with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
To get just the stock kernel in a flashable state you need to extract the zImage file from stock ROM (either one file or PDA of 3-file), then put it in a tar file by itself. Then you flash that as PDA with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
I'm just going to expand a bit.

Find a single file tar of the stock firmware that is meant to be flashed as a PDA. Use winrar to look inside the .tar file to get the zImage and put it in a tar by itself. You can then flash it as PDA in Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
I thought that it is proper way to extract zImage from original ROM but I wasn't sure that it is good way. Thanks, I will try in this way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
I created zImage.TAR with 7-zip but Odin cannot load it. It comes to step when zImage should be loaded but upload is not happening. Do I have to exec some certain parameters when zipping it in TAR with 7-zip or how can I do it?

EDIT: I managed to make proper (flashable) TAR with IZarc application. Nevertheless, I uploaded stock zImage but I still have root access although other mooded kernel specific applications are gone. So, basically, I didn't revert it to original state. Or I am wrong? Please, advise.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-weatherman:
Rooting doesn't necessarily mean changing kernel. You can root a completely stock phone and still use stock kernel. You can also unroot the phone.

You can use the SGS kernel flasher free app to flash a zImage directly from the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
He's right, root often stays behind. To get back to stock just do a factory reset.

Make sure you can get into download mode before flashing just in case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geri.st:
I've read through many threads, but in most they discribe to root a phone via flashing the kernel

like here.

and i also would like to have a backup of my stock kernel, if i would flash it, but i'm not sure from which version i should take it. i do have JVH, but i can't find a fitting csc (it's MOBJV2) on samfirmware or google.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Birthofahero:
I just wiped my phone and did a clean install of eclipse 1.3.1. Before I wiped I had the v6 supercharger, 3g booster (I think that's what its called) and kak tweeks. My question is, do I have to re install these or are they good to go?

Im pretty sure the kak tweek was ****ing my phone and tried the unkernel option (#13) in v6, before I wiped, but have no idea if I actually deleted it.

I looked in /system/etc/int.d and still see the 98kickasskernel file there. Just a little confused on what my phone remembers after a wipe.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
as long as it's not checked off as 'run as root' and 'run on boot', it should be ignored.

run the v6 again and see if the minfree values match, if they don't then the unkernel option worked.

Both accepted :) You choose where to install.

500M by default on SD card using loop method (on ext2 or fat). Down to 180M using the directory method (does not work on FAT).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hailmary:
thanks for this man.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daggerxXxsin:
Sorry if this is a noob question but will this in any way brick/soft brick my device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doublehp:
Yes, it can.

But this app is underdevelopment since almost two years, and nobody ever bricked yet. I have written a very long complete tutorial, where I say what you should NOT do. I could easily tell you how to brick in 5 steps.

But we have been working very hard on default settings, to make default settings as much safe as possible.

There are many bugs, many known bugs; but 99.999% bugs will just make the chroot not work. Data loss is very rare. Data loss was highly probable in previous version 3.2 . But default settings are now safer. And if you do not do what we claim to be dangerous ... you are safe.

The most frequent case with 3.2 was complete wipe of /sdcard and /data . This have been fixed.

We never ran into wipe of /system until now. Never bricked.

And since Galoula and me are working on it, we are the most exposed ones. We test every single feature, in all possible situations. And when we find a wipe case, we repro it dozen time until we understand why, and how to fix, so that it won't happen to YOU.

3.3 is way safer than 3.2. And nobody reported wipe on 3.2 ...

But if you blindely clik any where, yes it can. And if I tell you where to click, you can brick in 5 steps for sure :) And it won't be a soft brick. I promise a good real brick where even HTC will be in trouble to repair it :) It's explained in the tutorial.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daggerxXxsin:
Wow. Thanks for the reply. At least i have an idea now. Is the tut on the app itself? I'll nake sure to read it very carefully coz i wanna learn all about this stuff :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doublehp:
A not so short tuto is inside; but since most mobile devices have only one screen, you may want to read the online tuto on your computer: http://android.galoula.com/en/LinuxInstall/

Default settings are safe. Just follow the guide.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daggerxXxsin:

Spent the whole weekend on this...

I'm trying o get an X- GUI on the Samsung Captivate, (hope i said that right) like Ubuntu so i can VNC to a linux desktop environment. I'm on FASTY and wondering why I keep running into refusal of connection. I have the password and localhost as well as the port correct. I've lost sleep on making this work. Can anyone help...?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doublehp:
You question is somehow off topic.

You seem to have a basic VNC connexion issue.

Could not help without deeper description. And I rarely use VNC, i have very low experience.

First point: do you have free space in the distro ? depending on installation method, and what you installed, you may have run out of disk space (especially Ubuntu, uses lot more than Legacy Debian).

The distribution manager is still beta AOT. It may report the VNC service to be up and running, when it could not rally run. First thing to check is: is it up ?

- from local machine, to ps, and check if process is up

- from remote machine, just scan your IP for the device. VNC should be port 5800 or 5900, forgot which one.

Your VNC password is *NOT* your distribution password. VNC password need to be set at a different place (this is VNC specific; VNC is not UNIX, and never claimed to be fully a *UNIX "merged" service*).

Never used VNC in LinuxInstaller. Never yet. Not enough time to test it. We take report, and will test only major and frequent issues. We have many "easy success" reports, so, we don't worry about it. We have much more issues about rooting (getting root on phone), and starting debootstrap; this is what we focus on.

Make sure you have enough free space (at least 50M free left), then join any Debian or Ubuntu forum. They will ask you if you have a CLI; you shall use either adb shell, or connectbot. Fact you are in a chroot is not an issue, chrooting is not frequent for debian users, chrooting is the normal procedure to install Gentoo; and all debootstrap users use chroot daily; forums should not reject you for this reason. As long as you have a CLI.

Good luck.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doublehp:
hailmary what's missing in your kernel ? I don't know any Android that won't have ext2 in; if you have an Android without any ext2 filesystem, please contact me in private, I know it could be done, and I would be VERY CURIOUS to see how HTC did it.

If you are missing loop support in kernel, try block or directory method. Blocck will require ext2; directory won't (but will work only over ext FS ... so ... unless you can use NFS )
