So this begs the question, how are the sprint galaxy s2 roms looking, and how hard would it be to build a 'hellraising' package for them? If a straight flash managed to boot, kernel and all, might open even more possibilities for us.

Siyah Kernel 2.6.6 Troubleshooting

Hello again!

I thought I'd give flashing a kernel a go. I've been following Creepy's guide to installing a kernel via Mobile Odin (bought the pro version; easier and helps out the devs!). Got it installed on the phone and put the zImage for Siyah in the internal SD-card root and flashed from there.

It rebooted and showed that CWM had successfully installed, but the kernel is still the 2.6.35.14 as it was before. Not only that, but wifi is also non-functional again. Tried to flash it again; same result. Cleared the cache/dalvik and also ran the kernel cleaning script, then gave it another go. Still no Siyah kernel, still no wifi.

Great start to my XDA career, I know. Any help would be awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeniorGato:
If you're sure you have root and can boot to CWMrecovery, you may try mounting the phones internal USB memory (not the removeable SD card) on your computer, move the entire zip into it and flash thru CWM recovery. Once I had the right ROM *sheepish grin* it worked immediately and perfectly. My wifi is back and everything!

A thousand thanks for all the help!

Edit: I just reread your post. First check what recovery you are booting to. 3e or CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] McMash:
Glad you found a fix, Gato! Pretty interesting problem(s) you had going on there ;)

It is CWM. And I quote: "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" with all the options listed below.

Obviously, my knowledge and experience in all this is limited to say the least, but I find it rather strange that the CWM part of the Siyah kernel would take, but nothing else...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You almost certainly installed the Siyah kernel fully.

You usually can't tell anything about the kernel from about phone. Install CPUSpy free from the market, and look at the kernel information.

Don't know what Siyah will say, but for instance on the stock kernel you will see:

I777UCKH7-CL503881(se.infra@SEP-50)

or

I777UCKK6-CL770444(se.infra@SEP-50)

and on Entropy's DD you will see:

Linux Version 2.6.35.7-00071-gd62983d(adodd@quadmonkey)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] McMash:
Thanks for the help, Creepy.

I dl'ed CPUSpy and sure enough, it does show the Siyah kernel is on board.

Any idea what could be borking the wifi? Should I go ahead and flash a rom and see if that fixes it (would that add too many variables?), or figure out the culprit first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeniorGato:
Kernel flash...

After re-re-reading this entire thread, I may have something here...

McMash,

YOu already flashed the kernel to CWM-R right?

If so, do you need to Re-flash the kernel to Siyah? (This is where my lack of experience gets me.)

In my situation, I used CWM-R to flash the ROM, and in the process, CWM-R updated the kernel to the one that UnNamed needed.

This may be where you are having problems(???)

You may not need to flash the kernel to Siyah first (again, I've not played with any Siyah kernel's/ROM's so I can't be 100%).

If you have your virgin backup and CWM, you might try going "whole hog" and see if the kernel gets updated as part of the ROM flash.

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I believe that siyah kernel might not have the wifi fix needed to work with UCKK6, but I could be wrong. The wifi problem with UCKK6 is a known issue, and I believe Entropy's latest daily driver has the fix, so wifi should work if you install that.

Whether you install a rom is up to you of course. Stock UCKK6 has several bugs, including the wifi problem, so most experienced users would avoid it as a daily driver. Custom roms vary in features and support, so you just have to try them out to see what you like. UnNamed is the most popular rom on I777, partly because it is close to stock, but with improvements. It is based on UCKK6. You can see from my signature what my configuration is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] McMash:
According to the OP in the Siyah thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19650906&postcount=1

"Can be flashed on Samsung ROMs and AOSP Based ROMS. Currently all Samsung 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7 based ROMS, CM7 and MIUI ROMS are supported. Based on linux kernel 2.6.35.14 + drivers from Samsung sources."

There are a few that have reported wifi issues in the Siyah thread, but while some just switched back to Entropy's DD, other's have reported that their wifi issues, due to mysterious forces, suddenly began working again. :confused:

Everyone else seems to be having no wifi issues, so I'm curious to what exactly is causing mine to fail.

Is there any kind of troubleshooting or error code process I can run/look for that would provide a more specific clue?

I flashed the DD kernel 01/02 and wifi worked again. However, once I started playing around with it (OC'd to 1.6) and ran Quadrant just for kicks, it just barely started the initial benchmarks before it froze and I had to do a forced reboot. I imagine this instability was due to the OCing (as Entropy warned of such things is his thread), but I'd like to be able to OC here and there without crashing/freezing.

Anyways, flashed back to Siyah as this is the kernel I'd like to stick with for now. Wifi is still dead. I'm tempted to start from scratch, but the only Nandroid backup I have was the one I made right after I flashed the Siyah kernel (as that's the first moment I had CWM recovery to do so). May have to go through and reflash UCKH7 (step 2c) and begin this whole process again to see if that helps anything.

Suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Can't suggest anything other than try a wipe data/factory reset again. I know it's a pain, and may not help. But how many are using siyah kernel on stock UCKK6? It may be that it just won't work. If you decide to go to a custom rom, you will probably eliminate the problem. Another way to eliminate the problem if you want to stay stock is to go to UCKH7. Siyah kernel should play good with that release for wifi. If you want to stay on UCKH7, you can stop the update notifications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] McMash:
I went ahead and did a wipe data/factory reset and then loaded up the UnNamed 2.2.1 rom. While initially I had no radio signal ("Out of Service"), it slowly progressed to Edge and then a few hours later I finally got back my UMTS and HSPA. Everything seems to be working well so far.

Thank you all for helping me out; I've certainly learned a lot. Trial by fire, after all, is the best way to learn, right? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
If you really want to, though not recommended, you can raise the volts for 1600mhz to see if it can run that way. Undervolting won't ruin your phone but overvolting can.

Each processor varies a certain amount. That holds true for any processor, phone or not. Mine runs 1600 without any issues. Some people have reported not even being able to run 1400. But overvolting can help higher speeds run, sometimes.

I just rooted my s2 and found that my wifi stopped working. When I do a clear data/reset the wifi will start working. But when I restore from titanium backup the wifi stops working again. Anyone found a solution to this yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
Did you restore any system app data with Titanium? That could be the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
yes I did the full restore. I kinda need to restore the system data though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you're switching from one distribution to another, the system data will largely be incompatible. I'm surprised you aren't getting FC's all over the place. Maybe you are.

What exactly do you need to restore? Usually only data for programs you use. I restore some things selectively. For instance, I use memo a lot, so I restore memo data. I restore browser data to get bookmarks and such back, etc. These are system data, but they can be restored in most situations, but only application by application.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
What do you mean by switching distributions? Sorry I'm new to rooting. I'm not really getting any FCs. I need to restore program data as well as my layouts and account settings. I did a system wipe again and this time only restored my apps + data and the wifi is working. I would like to know what to restore from system data for layouts and account settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The rule of thumb with Titanium Backup is to only restore apps +data, *never* restore system apps or data.

Manually replace any missing layouts or account settings.

Or, as I suggested, you could try restoring system data only on an application by application basis. For instance, if you know an application that doesn't have it's personal settings, layout or data, try finding it in the list in tibu and restore data only.

Hey,

I'm running CM7 on a lg p509, and everything is perfect, just a small question. My upload rate when connected by hsdpa seems to be limited to 0.13MB/s, while download is fine , always above 1MB. Is there something with the radio, different phone version (p509 instead of p500)? I'm sure its something to do with my phone since I just tried my friends on the same network and his upload was higher. I don't think I ever flashed a new band, so its still on original radio. Just new rom, and on mobilicity in canada.

thanks for any help
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
HSDPA is for high speed downloading while for high speed uploading,u need HSUPA which our phone doesnt have.This is the reason why uploading speed is less.:cool:

Crossbones Kernel Information:

Current version: 0.1.5

Kernel is included in ROM and not available or supported as a flashable zip.

Source Code: https://github.com/C...ossbones_kernel

The kernel that's included in the Crossbones is a customized kernel based on Google's latest source (Linux 3.0.8). The idea behind this kernel is to provide a kernel that improves performance and the user experience but keep the stability of the stock kernel.

This kernel has been tested by all members of the team for over 48 hours and everyone has had the same result: nothing but excellent performance. This kernel is not even overclockable (yet) and honestly, doesn't feel like overclocking is needed. Every new feature added to the kernel is tested by all team members to ensure it does not affect stability and only improves the kernel. Our goal with this ROM and kernel is to have better performance and keep the stability of the stock ROM and kernel. Overclocking and undervolting will be added to the kernel eventually so if you're looking to overclock the kernel, flash a kernel that lets you overclock. However, we recommend trying our ROM with our kernel for a day and you'll see how good it is, guaranteed.

Kernel Information:

* LulzActive2 Governor

* SIO Scheduler

* Fixed bug with cpu frequencies being reported to sysfs

* Set noop to default scheduler

* Google's/Samsung latest base (3.0.8)

* BFQ I/O Scheduler (Set as default)

* SLQB slab allocator (Set as default)

* LagFree CPU Governor (Set as default and our favorite)

* BLN

* BLX

* BLD

* Voodoo

* CFS Autogroup scheduling enabled

* Other minor things I forgot I as wrote this (I'll try to take notes)

Credits:

* Google and Samsung for a great base and device

* Ezeekeel for all his awesome contributions and tweaks used in this kernel

* Paolo Valente and Fabio Checconi for BFQ

* Nick Piggin for SLQB

* supercurio for voodoo

* All the other devs that contribute into this great open source community. If I missed anyone and you feel you deserve credit please let me know

Other:

During our testing, some of us preferred using no-op as the default I/O scheduler while other chose BFQ. We suggest you test and be the judge

I do not own the GSM Nexus S but since it works so well on the NS4G I don't see why there should be any different or special issues.

Just install this rom and really fast and smooth without any issue. The bfq io and lagfree is great. Just missed Chinese traditional translation but it is not important that without it :p thanks!!!

Edit: This rom has near 0 or the smallest delay when open anything( eg. Apps and market link). This is the best experience that i tried many other ics rom. Hope the following update will not slow down the rom :) This rom is near the stock ics rom( it doesn't include galaxy nexus camera sound :( ). I really like this because too many features may make a rom slow..No translation just english us. I think it is the one thing ppl will care :)

Edit 2: 3G data collection is a bit slower than other ics rom

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
Is it better to charge them separately?

From what I heard, the dock charges the Tablet. So if I charged with the two connected, the dock would charge, and it would in turn charge the Tablet...sounds kind of inefficient to me, and maybe even bad?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I usually charge my TF101 tablet from it's dock and have done so since September, perfectly fine and no negative impact on the battery. Just don't make a habbit of burning the batteries too low, like 1% before you charge.

My dock does drain a little faster after having gone through a bunch of heavy discharges but that's why I usually charge before I get to like 3% :-).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eraursls1984:
That's odd since it is recommended that you run the batteries down before charging them instead of putting it on the charger before it gets below 10%. Charging them without running the power down has a negative effect on the amount of charge it can hold.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Carnelain:
That is not required anymore.The ideal charge level for these batteries is about 40%.

Charge cycles aren't a problem either so discharge is required once a month or even more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chevdor:
These devices use LiPo and Co batteries.

For these, it is recommended NOT to fully let the battery discharge (unlike older batteries with memory effect).

It is however recommended to fully charge then fully discharge your battery ONCE when you first use it on order to calibrate the battery (ie: let the software learn what level means full and what level means empty)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
You can check the link in my Sig. there is some info on recent batteries and calibration.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Yup, running it till it shuts off is mainly to calibrate the battery gauge. Most Lion batteries have auto shutoffs built into them to prevent discharging past the point of no return (which is why ebay batteries are so cheap, usually they lack this and other features, like temp sensors to kill the device before it melts)

As to charging both devices, i dont see how charging each together would harm anything aside from running more power through the dock might eventually wear it out? Honestly i dont think you have anything to worry about XD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
But I can see the dock being discharged to zero so often. So far it has happened 4 times without me even knowing it since its often connected to the tablet. I wish there was a way to use the dock and disable the charging to the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iceman127:
Its better to have a few full discharge n full charge cycle for any new battery operated product to maximize the new battery capacity after a few cycles it will reach its peak capacity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
But I'm sure on many occasions just by the usage and nature of the dock that it will end up being drained to 0% quite often. I don't think my dock battery will survive too long -.-
