[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcomputer:
Hi, I have questions with my defy+ relating to kernels and Bootloader. I'm not new here but things got really confusing when i changed my defy with defy+. So here are the questions. I've seen many people asking on kernels in ROM threads but nobody give precise answer as far as I know.

There many ROMs for froyo kernel and gingerbread kernel out there but none of them actually say the exact kernel version. What I've found so far is that 2.3.6 cannot be downgraded to froyo kernel. On contrary, there are some posts on downgrading to froyo kernel from gingerbread kernel before flashing the ROM. So can someone explain which kernel versions are considered as froyo kernel and which versions are gb kernels and is it possible to downgrade from gingerbread kernel to froyo kernel as some post said? I know that BL7 cannot be downgraded to BL6 so as long as I have BL6 does it mean that i can flash any kernel and my phone is compatible with ROMs for froyo kernel? ( i know about some issues with battery and camera).

my current kernel version is 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e on android 2.3.4.

I dare not upgrade my defy+ since i bought this. Am I safe to assume that my phone is still with BL6 and can install froyo kernel based ROMs since mine is 2.3.4 is not 2.3.5 or 2.3.6???

Best Regards,
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJKV:
Kernels are flashable, interchangable, downgradable, whatever you want to call it.

Now what is generally called the Bootloader or Bootloader version or BL (eg: BL4, BL5, BL6, Bl7) that is something that is affected when you use this software called RSD Lite to flash an "SBF" extension file onto your phone. These files are made by motorola, they are official ROMS as you may know. Now if you flash for example 2.3.6 SBF onto your Defy+ (which is on 2.3.4), they you cannot flash a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 SBF again, only other 2.3.6 SBF's. This is because one file inside these SBF's has a version number. It is version 4 for Froyo ROMs, 5 for 2.3.4 I believe, 6 or 7 for 2.3.6. Now Versions 4, 5, 6 are okay (5 & 6 for defy+), there are many SBF's for these and they can be rooted to install custom recovery, roms etc. Version 7 has no root method yet.

Now there a few "Fixed SBF's" lying around (I think they are all for Defy only though), these are SBF's where that particular file has been removed so it won't change the version number of the file currently flashed on your phone.

Anyway answering your question even if you flash version 5 or 6, you can still flash a Froyo kernel and later flash a GB kernel. Only thing is that Froyo Kernel may not work too well with your Defy+, ie probably the battery won't charge fully. I think since you have 2.3.4, you are at BL5, not BL6.

So don't confuse Kernels with downgradability. Kernels=flashable safely. SBF's=undowngradable.

is there any tool to check my defy's BL version?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjgowtham:
Go to download mode, you can find the bl version

kernel depends on the boot loader

So if boot loader is locked, we can't make custom kernels..we cant touch the kernel in any way..

But why does gb kernel work on bootloadr 9 ?..any ideas? Anyway it's modified rite?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ad2003:
Hi!

Just getting an HD2 in the next days, leaving my HTC Legend with AMOLED Display. In direct comparision, the display of the HD2 seems to be washed out next to the AMOLED of the Legend or Galaxy Display. Like seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTfpvzZd2Q4

My question is: Wouldn't it be possible to just change the contrast of the HD2 device? Something like an equalizer for color adjustments to get a more colorful, vivid display?

Is there something out there? Can someone tell, if it's possible?

Thank you!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoGis71K:
I've been trying to figure out for the last hour or so why this rom hasn't been flashing correctly.

1. I've already loaded DZ HBoot onto the phone with S-OFF and had loaded the SenseGinger 3.0 Rom. Loved the layout but it was kinda slow for me. So that's when i was looking up other roms and found RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM.

2. next thing I did was download the Rom Manager, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery sucessfully and selected install rom from sd card, (in which I had loaded the RunnyDroid rom on my sd card already.

3. Im in Recovery, wiped data, and the installation started. The problem I'm facing is that the installation says it was sucessful and says Rebooting, but the progress bar in the background is still going (looks like it was at 25%). Phone Reboots. Now it'll first start up with the HTC Logo, shuts off, then reboots again with the HTC Logo then goes back to clockworkmod recovery. I attempted to do it again, but still have the same results.

Anyone have any idea that I'm facing this problem? I really hope I can get this on my phone as the RunnyDroid rom looks really clean looking, and with other users reporting it to be fast, It's driving me nuts that I can test this rom out! *sad panda* :(

Anyone's help or support is greatly appreciated.

Flash kernel & ROM

Well it is kinda hard work to do. You need to do bootloader, flash back the kernel, and flash back the ROM. So far the best is by going into nAa's kernel thread, it covers, well, I can say, basically all these. I'm using and recommend nAa kernel v11 now:D:D:D so good with OC even can play 3D HD games without Chainfire 3D (of coz better if u install too) just type 'nAa kernel' in search box & u can see the topic. Pls consider ur level of understanding b4 trying. But it is essential bcoz at least u can still flash back the kernel n restore ur ROM back (REMEMBER: Back-up the ROM!!!) if ur phone doesn't even restart. & remember, most of the time di FULL WIPE b4 installing new ROM to avoid conflict AND the ROM must be COMPATIBLE with the kernel u use. Thanks goes to nAa for his great ROM ok??? Best of luck then... Oh yeah for the .ftf file DO NOT unzip it, just put it in /firmware in the flashtool in ur PC & flash it ;)

However,I cannot boot up my phone and it stop at the sony ericsson logo:D

So what can I do2?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
If you mean the Stock ROM image ...

Click on the link in my signature.

In the "Flashtool" folder you will find a collection of Flashtool versions. I recommend you download either v0.2.9.1 or v0.6.7.0

Then hop into the "Sony Ericsson" Folder. In there you will find a 7-Zip compressed 2.1.1.C.0.0 Flashtool ROM image - download X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.7z and extract to get the FTF.

Download the "Unbrick the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.txt" and follow the guide.

In case of problems or question simply post.

Hi I just bought on Amazon a EU AC Adapter for Kindle:

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1329821708&sr=1-2-catcorr

I would like to use it with my kindle fire. But I am confuses a little bit.

On the original Kindle Fire Power Adapter I read this details:

Original US AC Adapter:

AC Input 100 - 240V~, 50-60 Hz, 0,3 A

DC Output : 5V , 1.8 A

Amazon EU AC Adapter

Inuput: 100 - 240V~0.15A 50/60Hz

Output: 5.0V , 0.85A

Now my Question is can I user the EU AC Adapter with my kindle fire? It has a little bit other specifications: But it is used with a USB Cable and not a direct AC Adapter. Is this the reason why the specifications is different?

I don't want to kill my kindle fire because of Charging it with the wrong adapter and I realy have no idea with this electric specifications. Can anyone tell me if I can use the Amazon EU AC Adapter with my kindle fire ?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] remmie80:
Im pretty sure you can, I dont know a lot about it either, but I use a EU blackberry charger with these specifications and have had no problems:

[Kindle Fire Accessories] Dave_S:
It will work fine. It will just take longer to charge the Kindle because it has a lower output current capacity. (0.85A versus 1.8A)
[Kindle Fire Accessories] ttotten:
You really want at least 1.8 A of output to charge the KF in a reasonable time. I'm a big fan of the Belkin F8Z630 charger. I've bought several of them, and been very pleased. They're not cheap, probably because they're marketed for iPad users, and they come with the useless iPad USB cable (just toss it, or give it to any iPad user on the street). But performance is fantastic--they deliver a solid 2.1 A at 5 Vdc, they can handle any input 100-240 Vac (basically worldwide usage), and they have a nice rotating plug feature that is handy in some tight spots. Works great for charging the KF quickly. I used one extensively on a European trip last month (with a simple U.S.-European plug adapter, of course).

Ad why not use ad/dc adapter that came with Kindle Fire? You need only US/Euro plug converter and it is miserably cheep.

If you have yellow triangle, that means previous owner flashed custom roms using PC odin, and increased the binary count which voided your phone's warranty ...

You can still remove that yellow triangle using USB JIG, just search "samsung usb jig yellow triangle" in google, you will find plenty of SII tutorials and youtube video clips, which work for Note as well :)
