EKF doesn't work for me I just do it manually

Put the system folder somewhere on your computer and make sure there are no spaces in the directory name and do the same with boot.img.

open command line and navigate to your adb.exe and then push the system folder and then reboot to bootloader and then flash the boot.img
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Try using this. It's worked perfect for me. This is the Free Version btw.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
This works great, I've been using it since I first saw you post it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Thanks Binary I'll try it out if/when releases a new kernel :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Had another RRB (RandomRebootBootloop) :) was on beta 12. I see 13 is out now though so will be flasing that. Thanks Faux
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
Lucky 13 is consider as final and OP already updated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
So faux, now that the final kernel version is released.. what are you gonna work on now :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Thank You for your hardwork and tremendous patience.

@binary, you should try to crash on heyjoe's rom. I have gone through faux 12 & 13 with no reboots so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Continue to pressure htc to release the updated kernel source along with wifi source. Lol, i sent them them three tweets last night about it

I've been flashing all this kernels with easy one click by xboarder on the pc with a USB..

Can I download the file anywhere on my SD card, and flash it with the New posted tool "flash image GUI"

and that's it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Yes wen you open the app you browse the directory and select the kernel. Then it flashes kernel, wipes cache, and dalvik-cache for u

[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
the image alone is not enough, modules must be replaced too
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
So are you sayin that this app doesnt work or that it doesnt do everything that u need to do or wat? Cuz ive been downloading fauxs kernels and just use the app, select the zip, it flashes for me and everything seems to be fine...

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
The modules are replaced with the Flash Image GUI tool.

It extracts the contents of the zip file to /data, mounts system in r/w, copies the .ko files (modules) to /system/etc/ and /system/lib then and finally flashes the boot.img using the built in flash_image binary. It works flawlessly!
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Ok, Thats what I thought. Ive been using it since he released it too, and its been working great, I like it alot more than having to use ekf. Which was very simple too but its just nice being able to cut out the computer. Man, people tryina come in here and stomp on my parade lol

Sent from my BulletProof Amaze, Powered by Faux kernel...

[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
no, what i'm saying is that you have to have flashable zip to install all needed files with that program.

by pointing it to the image from ekf, you installing only image
[HTC Amaze 4G] xologist:
umm.. we've never had a flashable .zip ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Yes but Fauxs kernel comes packaged with ekf as a zip, which that same zip is able to be used with flash GUI. I made the mistake of reffering to the .zip as the kernel, which is y i think got confused and thought i was referring to the boot.img

Well ne wayz i apologize for my wording then, bcuz thats not wat i meant. I knew the guy was flashing fauxs kernel, not that theres anyone elses lol, so when i was saying that all you have to do is browse the directory and select the kernel, i was reffering to the .zip because thats how his download comes. lol Sorry for the confusion, but basically wen i said to browse & select the kernel u thought i was reffering to browing for and selecting the actual boot.img itself right?

[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
no, bro, it was my mistake

i just wasn't know that FlashImageGUI can flash EKF package, i thought it needs a well formed update zip.

my mistake. sorry about that
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Second reboot i've had on the newest, beta 13. No bootloop or anything, just suddenly restarted itself
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Lol its all good man
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
file corrupted :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
As binary said though (I think), it also clears the cache and Dalvik cache in addition to flashing the boot.img. EKF doesn't do that does it??
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
Sorry this is not fully kernel related. For the people using FauxClock... what values are you set at? If I UV too far, does it go back to previous values if it crashes?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
don't use fauxclock it keeps crashing and the cpu frequency never sticks, just use system tuner from the market :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Actually i think i mentioned that, lol and no i dnt believe that ekf does it, if u use EKF u have to wipe them manually through recovery. Like i said i prefer the flash GUI, really i dont know why anyone would wanna do it ne other way

[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
why do some people keep having reboots and some don't? Do they have different hardware or something?
[HTC Amaze 4G] charlatan01:
I had another bootloop today. I 'three fingered' out of it so I will post the log when I get home. Meantime, I think I've noticed something about all my bootloops... they have ALL happened with the phone plugged in. Just an observation, and one that may be overturned by others here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
let's just say only a few report them cuz they are good at getting the last_kmsg file
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
i can get last_kmsg, but "unfortunately" i don't have bootloops
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Thanks AJ if I was wrong. I'll have to try the flash GUI way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] terahybrid:
I have no idea and I hope thats not the case, anyway I never had reboots or loops just 1 bad freeze in beta 5 *knocks on wood*
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
You can? But isnt the last_kmsg a dump of statements from the kernel before the system itself crashes. So how can you pull one if ur not experiencing any crashes/bootloops?

See attached. Again, all of mine have occurred when the device was charging, if that means anything. Oh, and this is NOT off of the latest release. Gonna wipe everything clean and test again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
was having some wifi and signal loss issues with bulletproof 2.3.1 so i just flashed the latest faux kernel so i'll see if i get any boot loops or crashes like you crazy kids have been reporting so much of lol :p

so far i havent had any such problems on any rom though so fingers crossed that it stays that way for me :D

Binder failure followed by massive exodus of processes :(

Android Binder is used and called by the ROM, and kernel is responsible to provide the thread execution for it. I truly believe this is a ROM issue. Almost every log begins with Binder failed transactions followed by massive exodus of processes... The kernel is powerless in stopping or resolving the ROM crash and eventually leads to a blocked state on the kernel side which finally causes a reset / reboot...
[HTC Amaze 4G] charlatan01:
Thanks faux, will do. I am going to unroot and get the latest baseband update first... i am on 1.07 ATM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
Woww. Someone really pissed Xboarder off! I'm sorry to hear he's taking a break for now.

Anyhow....this final kernel release is working pretty good so far with BulletProof 2.2.1 Reloaded.

Big thanks to all the devs out there
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrispaw:
something similar happened in the sensation forums to him. unfortunate really. what's more unfortunate is all his threads are locked leaving users without a place to discuss things among themselves.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I've not had any problems with 2.3.1 with faux's last 2 kernels. I've had very few problems with any of X's ROMs. I really loved Amazing Quicksense and have never had crashes on that

or

this ROM! I still think people with crashes should not install any external apps and just run the ROM for a day or two to see if they still get crashes. If you do then it has to be some setting on your phone or the phone itself since others don't have any crashes. Install your apps one at a time to find the culprit. That is what I did. I wasn't for a crash but wifi and data never constantly restarting no matter what I did (reboots, manually turning off, etc.) Once I found the problem app, I uninstalled it and found a similar one on the market and have had no problems since! I know it would be a big hassle for some but that is what worked for me. I just don't have any problems with X's ROMs or faux's kernels!

Thank you X and faux for working so hard for this stupid HTC phone! I should take my Sensation back from my wife and give her this one. She wouldn't care other than it feels like it weighs twice as much! LOL :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
Just a quick update, I've been using Amaze as my daily phone for the past week... haven't seen a boot loop or random reboots yet... :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Hey can this be flashed over bulletproof 2.2.1?!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
I don't want to jinx my phone, but I haven't been getting any bootloops or restarts, even when I first flashed a custom kernel on my device.

Granted, I think I started on whatever paul@ubuntu #16 is... But I still believe that's a couple of weeks of non-crashing

Also if it helps, I'm on Wind and I did do a OTA update first, so my baseband is at 1.10.550L.01v2DC_30.69.550L.10D. Which seems to be the latest version?
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
do you have a defecting charging or something? is the voltage even right?

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

can i assume that the modem issue early is resolved somehow? what was the problem causing all the modem crash?
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Interesting... I am reluctant to do the OTA update since I don't want any unnecessary bootloader changes that could mess things up for me. I have had bootloops with this kernel (which is a shame because this kernel runs like a dream) so now I'm wondering if the OTA update would stop the bootloops :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
It hasn't helped for those who have constant bootloops.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
The modem will still crash on its own once in a blue moon, so I can't say what it is.. just luck of a draw I suppose (this also happens on 100% stock phone, so not kernel related at all).

The version 006 boot loops were mainly due to my removal of performance lock from HTC :( It seemed modem / Wifi both needed performance lock settings to do something (Again, we have ZERO visibility into either :( ). In 007 and beyond, performance lock was added back which solved the modem boot loop issue caused by kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
Oh, reading this made me remember something...

I have no way to confirm, but perhaps certain Amazes bought after a certain date have the hardware issue resolved?

I noticed faux didn't get his Amaze until later. I only got mine during the Wind Boxing event.

My phone has a serial starting with "SH1BT"..

So I assume it means Shanghai Factory, manufactured on 1 = 2011, B = 11 (Nov?), T = 25?

Nov 25, 2011. Seems pretty new to me...
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
I got mine at the end of Nov, off of Telus who had the Amaze before Wind, so logically my phone should be older (correct me if I am wrong) and I don't get any reboots and the most I've had was 2 and Faux called them strange at that too. Also my serial starts "HT1AV". Now if you serial was rearranged to "SH1TB" we can conclude that HTC was trying to tell us something and that all SH1T phones are sh*t. (I'm just having fun with you so don't get mad :D )

P.S

How did you decode your serial #?

I think I got it

HT = Vendor HTC

1 = 2011 (like you said)

A = 41 in hex which is the 41st week = week of Oct 30th

V = 56 in hex but it is supposed to be the day?! that doesn't make sense

I used this this and this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
I updated my phone via OTA when it came out a few months ago. So my phone has OTA radio and such.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
No no, there is no differentiating between lower and upper case letters. A=10 so month 10. V is actually 27? (Z=31)

So OCT. 27 11.

I forgot the website I used to decode it. But of your first link, use the 2009 serial method.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I don't know about those numbers?? Mine is HT19WVP...The 19 would mean September of 2011 but I don't know what WV would be. I do know that mine was manufactured in September of 2011 though and I bought it at the end of November.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
So yeah, SEPT. 28, 2011.

Only the first 5 alphanumerical characters are necessary.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
dam that means mine is really old

H

T

1

7

D

july something
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
Yeah, July 13th...

But yours is an s-off development phone isn't it? I would assume they would be really old.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
This would prob be better in a thread separate from Faux's kernel, but I remember on the MT4G that they found in those numbers reference to good/bad screens and also eMMC chips I think. So it's a possibility...but we'd need a lot more info and I don't know what we'd accomplish except knowing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Mine has the same serial start, and I also got it during the Boxing event - $99 bucks was a good deal haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] priority9:
I installed the latest kernel yesterday and so far so good. No random reboots and I can also charge the phone in the car.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Impressed that they started the official hardware production run of this device that early. I guess it makes sense that they can continue to develop the software until much closer to release date.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
so i had a couple random reboots yesterday within the first 6hrs of flashing the latest faux kernel on top of the latest bulletproof. then i saw this and figured maybe your phone is more stable cuz the ota fixed some hardware issues. made sense to me since updates are given usually to fix things and make things better.

so i decided today to take the plunge and restore my phone back to stock using tmobile's latest ruu. then i slowly brought everything back to where it was before.

so long story short i have noticed a stronger signal at my house, and so far no random reboots, but its still too soon to say so i'll keep my findings posted :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I don't understand why people keep getting reboots and hangs...I havn't had that problem with any of the builds!!! I'm on rooted stock. This is weird. and probably has more to do with the rom and apps installed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
Faux, can I ask you, why are you disabling all the other governors?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You wanna hear something odd?

Hold on to your seat...

I haven't had a reboot in like three days! :eek: :eek: :eek:

In fact I'm at 22 hours up time right now but it's only because I was testing things for xboarder last night.

Using lucky #13 with BP 2.3.1

Using System Tuner

Gov. is ondemand set to 384 min and 1.72 max.

Autokill preset is agressive and the boot settings for cpu and memory limits are On boot completed.

It seems pretty stable so I'm not going to mess with it! I think that I finally found my phones sweet spot. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
nice...I'm glad its working....perhaps, it might have been a rom issue..

I find that Autokill drains my battery, have you tried to leave it as is and see if it makes a difference?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
I have similar settings, except autokill was not set, so it is default medium. I am still on 2.1.0 and very early .008 kernel and have had no issues for over a week since i first flashed it.

Based on your experience, I might give 2.3.1 and lucky 13 a shot. I can always go back, but would have to remember to reflash the earlier kernel if I did. This is the main reason I wish we had s=off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
I'm getting zero reboots here too on 008b13 :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Yea Binary!! It is about time you can finally use your phone without reboots..at least for at least a day! ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
I feel like an idiot, all this time that I've been flashing amaze roms, I was actually still ending up with a stock kernel... I forgot that we still don't have s-off... and I just realized everytime I flashed the kernel from CWR I get a "Intalation aborted"

Btw, is it normal for the Faux Clock app to FC on boot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Try it with this app flash image gui.. I just tried it, makes more sense than rebooting to cwm if you ask me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
don't use fauxclock it force closes. Instead use a program called system tuner from the market, much better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
Not sure if this is kernel or ROM related but since 1/22 (when I've updated to .008b13 on BulletProof 2.3.1) I haven't been able to send texts to Romanian numbers (3 different ones) that were receiving my texts before but I can still receive texts from them. I don't get any failed errors when sending either when I try to send my replies over network & Wi-Fi. I had my friend send a test text to a Romanian number from his AT&T phone and it was received so I know it's not on the Romanian side.

T-Mobile has refreshed my network connection twice but with no luck. Now I have this tier 3 service order with T-Mobile to resolve my issue but it can take up to three days.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues texting to international numbers from the US? Could this be kernel or ROM related or purely Network related?

Extra info: After updated to BulletProof 2.3.1 on 1/18, my texts were still being received on Romania numbers

UPDATE: As it turns out, T-Mobile and Orange in Romania and Ukraine are having some kind of technical issue. Not a kernel or ROM issue as I thought due the timing of the update release and network blackout being the same (plus T-Mo had no idea about the tech issue when I called).
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
I have system tuner, and I already used the app binary posted to flash the kernel. I'm using the faux app to undervolt.

I have a question: Is the voltage table you provided in your post, undervolted table or stock? if its undervolted would you mind providing stock...my voltages are all messed up, I've been playing around with system tuner too much!!! also the table does not go all the way up to 1.7, I would really appreciate this.
