[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Bro, it's not that simple, you have to set the initramfs path in the config to a folder on your local machine and what Shabby is saying is that nobody has unpacked the stock zImage on the phone (or found out how to) to have an initramfs to load into the zImage you are compiling.

Just find a way to pull the stock zImage and unpack the initramfs and load the correct path, or it will keep having the same problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Ok, I actaully tried unpacking initramfs from zImage but it seems like it doesn't exist....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
..and that is the problem. Without the initramfs android WILL NOT boot, since it doesn't know how, the zImage itself only houses the drivers and such. It's useless without the initramfs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
can something like this work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
It may compile correctly but your not injecting the initramfs into it...so it won't boot your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
injecting the zImage to where?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
The initramfs into the zImage.

This is pretty frustrating, didn't have to do that on HTC open source, it shouldn't be so hard to compile a kernel, ARGHHH, I am about to give up.

Compile the kernel, then compress zImage it using tar:

tar cvf blahblah.tar zImage

Use Odin and select blahblah.tar under PDA then hit Start.

But don't do this as the kernel will put you in bootloop or boot freeze for now.

I get that much, but is the tar supposed to be setup with the same directory structure as the phone?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hey Guys :)

I do search for this question before,

but didn't found an answer, so now i ask you ;)

Can I use normal .ttf-Fonts of my PC for my mini pro?

Or will there be any problems with size etc ?

Peace ;)

PS: Or where I can get good and free (legal) fonts for our device :) ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jodhaniohm97:
Yes you can use normal ttf files from your computer.

I am fond of changing font periodically for my mini and enjoy new looks!

For free and good fonts just google "free fonts" and you will get amazing fonts.

Use the font which are in ttf format and you will be able to switch over it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Okay then :)

Thanks

EDIT: Can I just use FontChanger app from market or is it better to

replace some ttf's in /system/fonts ?

EDIT 2: Did it with Font Installer from market :)

Ubuntu font is pretty awesome :D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
actually i'm pretty sure all my problems can be solved by having debug mode enabled, which would allow ODIN access to my machine as well as the possibility of ADB commands

is there any way to "force" debugging on?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkoper:
Can you turn the tab off?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
with some difficulty, yes

it's tough to time though, because i have no visual feedback on the rainbow screen, so oftentimes it goes into a reboot because i held the button too long

plugging it in to charge helps this somewhat, because i can tell it's off if the charging splash screen is visible and animating

i think the general term for what i have is a "soft brick", but without access to download or recovery mode i'm not sure where to go for a fix
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKnightTG:
After you did this and returned to stock, have you been able to download the OTA with touchwiz? I had this same corrupt display problem, followed the directions from zedomax to return to stock and unroot but when I try to download the latest updates and get touchwiz it says I'm up to date (after a small 11mb update which did NOT include touchwiz). :(

All I want now is to be back to stock with touchwiz like I was before. :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osbor:
Hrrm, you might need to do things unofficially, surely there's a rom out there like what you want? Starburst is pretty cool, like a faster version of touchwiz
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKnightTG:
Yes I think you're right. I was wanting to try Starburst anyway which is based off the touchwiz rom. That would have what I want plus more (faster overall and over-clocking!).

What I'm not sure about is which one do I pick? From here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyTab10.1/roms/StarBurstROM/

Or is there a newer one than those? I can't tell from the starburst thread if what's on there is newer than on that site or not...

The biggest thing I want, besides getting TW back, is adhoc mode so I can connect to my iPad 3G w/ MyWi (#1 reason for me to root anyway). I wish google would just allow adhoc stock. Apple does with iOS, I don't see why google can't. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisal73:

So guys,I installed a theme on my SGS2 about an hour ago,and it messed everything up.So I tried to go into recovery and wipe everything,as I had a Nandroid backup.However,when I pressed volume up+home+power,first it showed the Samsung splash screen and then it turns itself off insted of showing recovery.Then I tried to flash CF-Root via Odin.Odin flashed it ok but no joy,it still does the same thing.Then I thought "**** it,I'll flash and official firmware" and I grabbed KH4 from intratech's thread(From the Frankenstein section).I flashed it but still,it wouldn't boot,it went into a bootloop.Again,I flashed CF-Root with Odin,but I still can't get to CWM!It does the same thing as it did before,it turns itself off.

So now I'm out of ideas.I'll try flashing KG5 from the non-Frankenstein section in intratech's thread,but I don't think that'll change anything.

Any ideas guys?Cause I'm just about to throw it against the wall. :)

I have a question. I have Samsung Infuse that I bought recently, it was locked on At&T but I unlocked it with no problems. The thing is it still has all the things from At&T, even the Software Update runs on At&T.

Is there any other way to upgrade to the newer version of Android without going through At&T? Because every time I try to search for update after 1 min of searching it says that it can't connect to At&T server. My firmware version is 2.2.1. (if that helps in any way).

This is my first Android phone and I'm still learning everything about it. But I'm going back home in Europe and I need everything to work perfect there.
