It its eg22 but over tried it on eh17 it works

so now I'm running pheonix rom

What I should do it

Make a back up

Then flash eh17 modem

Then flash thunderhawk

Then flash the .tar u told me about? And ill b all good?

Thanks a lot for your help

EDIT: ok so i did exactly that and it got stuck at the samsung screen at boot up after i flashed the kernel.

everything was working perfect up to when i flashed the kernel i got stuck any ideas..?

EDIT 2: i just reflashed the eh17 modem, boot up, turned off, went to download mode and flashed the kernel and it worked it even bootup reallllllly quick

now im about to go flash thunderhawk and then flash the kernel again and see what happens..

EDIT 3: i just flashed thunderhawk again and it worked perfectly i shut down and flashed the kernel and im stuck at the samsung screen again.... maybe this kernel doesnt work on this rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I believe random tried posting a zip the other day in the thunderhawk thread including the kernel. No one has confirmed flashing it successfully. I got stuck at the samsung boot screen when I tried it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
From the Original Post:

"I've also uploaded a new EH17 kernel that works on stock (rfs) EH17 ROMs"​

I think that's the key, it works on EH17 RFS. I'm guessing that the thunderhawk rom is EG22 and EXT. Probably doesn't like this kernel. You will have to wait until someone compiles a version for EG22 and adds EXT support
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Don't know what you all are talking about...but a gingerbread kernel is a gingerbread kernel. There shouldn't be any difference. It's like running Genocide on eb13 instead of ec05
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
EB13 is Froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Yeah, but Genocide should run fine on eb13, even though Genocide is an ec05 kernel. Just like eg22 should run fine on an eh17 kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I know, but you said it like EB13 was eclair in the other post. I was making sure your point was made clear. Maybe I read it wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Wait...is di18 eclair or froyo? I thought it was froyo, if its eclair then it doesn't make sense lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
DI18-Last official Eclair

DK28- Leaked Froyo

EB13, EC05- Official Froyo

Then is there any roms that this would work on? Or is it only on stock rom...

I can also flash it on a stock rom then apply a theme like the honeycomb explosion and have no problems right?

And does this kernel let me use voodoo sound?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Should work on any rom that is gingerbread besides cm7 and miui. You can try ACS ICS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
I flashed using ODIN over ICS v5 and it's stuck at the Samsung screen. What's the deal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Did you wipe? If not, try wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
I don't think this kernel supports EXT4 roms, (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.) The OP says it works on "Stock (rfs) roms".
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mama Luigi:
I'm just confused about one thing, and forgive me if this is a noob question.

I applied the GB 2 kernel just fine. Should I also apply the patches via Odin or will that not do anything? I can't tell if the patches are extra things that aren't included in the kernel file or if they are simply updates for people who already have a kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
Nope, I will try.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Is this true?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Currently RFS only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Yes it's a noob question, that's ok.

The kernel includes the patches. The other files are source code and patches to source code that were used to build the kernel. These files can't be used until they are compiled into a form that the phone can use, which is what the "source compiled kernel" is. You'll like this kernel, it's way better than any of the GB leaks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
so i just download the

kernel-GB-2.tar - [Click for QR Code] (4.95 MB, 90 views)

file and flash it through cwm and i am good to go?

[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
To be fair, the forum's limitations on file name extensions makes this a bit more confusing than necessary.

"foo.tar.md5" usually is an Odin-flashable (partial) firmware image with a checksum.

"foo.tar.gz" is the general archive format "of preference" on Unix-derived platforms. Usually in this context it either includes source code or source patches.

Problem is that the forum won't allow either ".tar.md5" or ".tar.gz" file attachments, so I have to truncate both to ".tar".
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
sorry but this **** never got thru my brain..

where does kernel go in odin?

i ve got 1.85.. so put kernel-GB-2.tar (not http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/~mkasick/android/kernel-GB-2.tar.md5) in pda? and select only auto reboot and be done?

One post in this thread said put it in phone and one said put it in pda... damn this stuff is confusing even after trying atleast 20-30 custom roms and kernels..

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

So use the .tar.md5 version not the .tar file and put it in pda or phone slot?

Why cant i use cwm to flash the zip?

Do i have to do the 3 finger salute?

Nevermind.. bit the bullet.. put .tar.md5 in pda slot and hit Start... its booted now.. no way to verify if it flashed but I am assuming it did obviously.!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
You'll know because the keyboard skipping will be gone and the reboots will probably be solved too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Also, look in about phone. Should say something with mkasick or something like that
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Nope, I'm using mkasick kernel and all it says is version 2.6.35.7
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Doesnt it say "dirty" somewhere in there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Not on the about screen. Where should I look.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Hmm, it should be right there..(running my own kernel for CM7 but it would naturally be under kernel version on any build of Android)

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
Perhaps different ROMs present different amounts of information. I'm using stock EH17 and all I see under Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7 even though I successfully ODINed this kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
I decided to try and compile this myself and so far have not been able to compile a bootable kernel.

I cloned the github and configured the build script to use the toolchain 'arm-eabi-4.4.3' from Google's Android repo.

The kernel compiles fine, but seems rather large (6.3MB) and I get stuck on the Samsung logo after flashing it.

Can anyone point out guide me in the right direction?

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

EDIT:

DOH!

And just like that, the kernel I just compiled just booted successfully.

W00t!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I flashed this and lost signals

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I Odin'd this and have no signals now and even after a restore still have none
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
Well, that is discouraging - I updated to EI22 last night and noticed that they keyboard skips (argh) so I was JUST about to flash this... are you EI22 yet?

Edit: I just said eff it and flashed this kernel anyway - everything is fine for me, including Wi-Fi & data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Oh dear. Sounds like the modem NVRAM got hosed up during the flash. You may want to try an NVRAM reset if nothing else remedies it. Note that your phone will attempt hands-free activation afterwards and may (likeky?) fail. If so, call *2 and tell them you're reprovisioning the device and the hands-free is failing, and they'll do the thing on their end to make that work again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Thanks for this btw! Looks like it's the key to defeating the CWM scripts that were causing it to reset. I was able to Odin this, Odin CWM 3.1.0.1 and it stuck! I had to 3-finger boot right after Odining, but I caught it was able to flash EI22's deodexed version! CWM is still sticking too! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Yes I confirmed this over in the clockwork thread.even on the stock update if you flash this prior to flashing clockwork then clockwork will stick. No need for battery pull.

why ican't flash the patch kernel v3 into my ei22?

I used odin and get the odin not respond.. but its no problem.. it's powerfull kernel.., tq for shared
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
kernel-GB-3-patches.tar.gz is source code patches for kernel developers.

kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 is the Odin-flashable kernel image. If you're uncertain of the difference, this is the one you want.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
I think my favorite feature on this kernel is the boot screen! lol I was on the nubernl kernel for a little while and after a couple days of looking at that goofy candy corn thing, the black screen is a welcome alternative!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
same here.......this kernel works fine w/ EI22.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
On a slightly related note, I'm using VPNC Widget, which requires the tun.ko module. It works, but when I run "Check Prerequisites" it says:

"Warning: 'Advanced Routing' feature missing - VPN connectivity might be lost after a while"

Is there some additional module I need to install or is this something that needs to be enabled in the kernel? I like this kernel because it is very clean with very few modifications - I like to be close to stock as possible, but I would like my VPNC to work properly.

Fyi, after I ODIN'd kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 onto stock EI22 the status bar battery indicator dropped significantly to about 20% while Battery Use within Settings more accurately shows about 60%.

Update: Seems to be resolved after clearing battery stats and reboot so all the battery info are in sync.

This version should do it. Let me know if I botched it somehow. Also updated OP with that build.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:

I have a question for you- when I try to adb push a modified hosts to /etc I get a permission denied (even though system is mounted rw and I am rooted). I have to push to /data/local/tmp/ then cat /data/local/tmp/hosts > /etc/hosts

Can you explain why that happens?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Hey mkasick,

may I ask what toolchain the kernels you are posting have been compiled with? I ask because of this.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
"prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-" from the android-2.3.5_r1 branch of AOSP. I believe it's the same compiler Samsung uses for stock kernels.

Interesting. I haven't seen any reboots from the kernels I've compiled, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Yep. That's the exact toolchain I was using too. I was getting reboots and shutdowns while plugged in with WIFI on. Since switching to the codesourcery toolchain on 12/2 I havne't gotten a single reboot or shutdown. Some users of my ROM were having the same issue (with my kernel) and after they tried the updated kernel they've also stopped getting the reboots. Others who have reported these issues have said they were running "stock rooted", which I assumed meant your kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
A few users of ShadowKernel are reporting reboots and shutdowns and the author bbelos has stated that he built it with arm-eabi-4.4.0 toolchain.

I'm currently running my kernel built with the arm-eabi-4.4.3 toolchain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LiGhTMaGiCk:
Wow this is weird I flashed this with Odin and all seems to be fine except for the buttons at the bottom of the screen they all disappeared except for the Applications button. o_O

Edit: And I'm an idiot. All it did was delete the buttons so I had to remember how to change them which is simple enough you just go into the App drawer and hit the menu button then hit edit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Thanks for your work on this kernel, mkasick. After updating to EL30, I'm getting intermittent keyboard skipping, and while it skips less than on stock EI22, your keyfix was by far the smoothest keyboard experience. Do you have plans to upload a keyfix kernel for EL30?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
This should also work on el30... all the other ei22 custom kernels work on el30 so I am assuming this one would also...

Sent from my CM9'd epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
The EL30 kernel is virtually identical to the Ei22 kernels, and the keyfixes should be in all of the EL30 kernels already.

Which kernel are you experiencing keyboard skips in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
My phone is bone stock, so I'm still using Samsung's EL30 kernel. It's much better than stock EI22, but I have the impression that it's still slightly laggier than mkasick's.

I didn't realize EL30 and EI22 kernels are interchangeable. Thanks for the tip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
New question, is the EI22 Kernel with the keyboard skip fix also compatible with FC09? I would assume it is, if it is compatible with EL30.
