Here is a Telus kernel to be flash through cwm. Simply put the zip file into root of your phone, boot into cwm, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and flash telus kernel zip. Thanks to Braway for is guide and instructions. I have tested this telus kernel several times, I probily would only flash on a telus stock rom.This kernel has the Telus boot image. You flash the Bell kernel, Rogers, the sames as the telus one.

CWM Flashable Rogers and Bell Stock Kernels?

First: Thanks to pterry30 for providing a stock CWM flashable Telus kernel :D

Second: If anyone could do the same for the stock Rogers and Bell kernels, it would be greatly appreciated! (I know Da_G provided odin pda tars, but I find CWM flashable easier to work with) :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pterry30:
There is already a rogers cwm kernel in development forum
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
That Rogers kernel is a backup that is restored through CWM, it's not a flashable zip file. I followed the steps in that post for matching the md5's but I still got an error when I tried to use that kernel. That's why I requested a CWM flashable version. I don't have the dev skills to make a flash able zip file so I was hoping one of the development magicians could post one :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pterry30:
I have a rogers kernel, i will have to unzip it and take a look at it to see if i can make it a cwm zip

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
It was brought to my attention per a thread discouraging people from posting theories, thoughts, and rumors about ICS for our beloved and hated EVO 3D, that NOBODY knows when ICS will be released. To that I say RUBBISH!

Sandwich the EVO 3D with an HTC ONE X and another EVO 3D and you have yourself a pretty accurate looking Ice Cream Sandwich if I may say so myself.

Happy Easter everyone. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
There is massive effort to try and get people to search the forums before posting. There are so many duplicate posts about ICS that it is SIMPLY something they could have realised wasn't worth posting as it's been written about or superseded many times previously. This isn't about ICS, this is about lack of thought/effort before posting.

Why? Because it's like anything that get's hyped, people forget themselves. Discussion is to be encouraged, as is using the search button.

EDIT: to be clear, I WANT info and discussion on ICS.. but I wish it was more targeted than scatter gun.

Happy Easter :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crimsonconcepts:
I am currently working on Stock 2.3.4, UCKH7. I have rooted my phone using the Doomlords Zergrush a few months ago and things went very smooth. At this time I am looking at installing a Rom, or even trying ICS.

Here is my issue. I would like to install Clockwork recovery on the Stock kernel and system. I am interesting in doing this the manual way, and would like to do it to Learn and not just to 'Get it done'.

I understand that there are stickies about flashing a new kernel with CWM already installed, and doing this through Odin, or ROM Manager, may work, but doesn't teach me anything.

My previous phone was a Droid Eris, and I did everything I could on that phone manually, however at a certain point I started using tools rather then understanding how the modifications worked in Linux.

I downloaded the recovery-clockwork-5.8.1.8-i777.zip, and when opening it I see that there are series of folders that match up with existing folders within the Linux structure. I also see that many of the files currently exist as well, meaning that it may be possible to just replace those files.

Looking at the updater script it appears to do just that, but I wanted to know if it is really as easy as that, or does it do more then just that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'm not a linux developer.

My understanding is that you must have ClockworkMod Recovery included in the kernel on the stock or native code based I777. So, as far as I know, you will need to learn how to kernel dev. in order to accomplish what you asked for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crimsonconcepts:
I guess that was part of what I was wondering. The kernels that are distributed, are they just the stock kernel with addons like this included in them, if so then there should be a way to load these apps or addons by themselves.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No. The way Samsungs work is that recovery is included in the initramfs, which is included within the kernel.

If you want to integrate a different recovery yourself, you need to learn about initramfs repacking for Samsung devices - do some searching and you'll find initramfs repack scripts.

You cannot replace files in the initramfs without completely repacking the kernel.

And it's not an "addon" - CWM replaces the stock recovery within the kernel. Look at my initramfs repos (github link in my sig) as an example.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crimsonconcepts:
Thanks Entropy, that was exactly what I was looking for.

With flashing different kernels, such as yours, does the rest of the phone stay stock, or is there enough difference that you should clear cache and davik? Overall I want to get a backup of my current setup (which it appears I will have to reflash the kernel to do), and then start trying out ICS or AOKP. Overall I just want to make sure that I have a stock to get back to.

I have always been one to be overly cautious and I figure if I can get a full backup (just like I would on a computer) I don't mind playing with the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Rest of the phone stays stock - clearing cache/dalvik is only needed for some kernels which have 3484032832 scripts that install all sorts of ****. Mine is clean - it leaves no permanent traces in /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crimsonconcepts:
This is straying a bit off topic, but since I am stock (Stock 2.3.4, UCKH7) which Kernel is the best to flash. I ask this only because normally I would get the latest, but I found a post from you about flashing your kernels and you mentioned that anything after 12/8 doesn't play well with old AT&T stuff. That may not be relevant now, but Figured I would ask.

I have also checked around but couldn't find a post that may compare the different kernels for the i777. I know you have one, and then there is Siyah. I am sure both are good, but do you know of anywhere that there is a comparison or differences?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrimonk:
Hey guys,

So I always used to stream my audio from my SGS2 to my laptop, and I kind of miss it now that I've moved onto ICS. I recently tried moving back to a GB rom to see if it was infact the phone causing the issues , and that seems to be the case.

When I pair my laptop to my SGS2 with GB installed, it installs all of the bluetooth drivers necessary for streaming.

However, when I pair with an ICS ROM, it installs nothing. I can still do file transfers, but no audio connection whatsoever.

Could this be a problem with the bluetooth stack or ICS drivers?

Has anyone got media streaming from ICS -> Windows 7 working?

I have included some pictures to indicate the difference.

Gingerbread

ICS

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrimonk:
Bumpity bump bump bump

Has anyone else run into this problem, or am I the only one that likes streaming audio from android to windows 7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel9895:
That maybe because ics does not come with bluetooth rsap (remote sim access profile). I guess streaming audio also comes under it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Ki:
Same Here!!

I'm having a similar problem with my G2X. I can't stream bluetooth music nor can I transfer files. I'm looking for some drivers for this cause I normally download music to my laptop then transfer stuff to my phone. I have Hellfire Sandwich 1.6 and running Windows 7 on my PC.

Hi there, I am about to root my Desire Z with one of the guides available here. However, all guides tell me to downgrade - is it necessary?

Specifically, this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055581

My phone specs are:

Desire Z

Android version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel version:

Downgrade is necessary for firmware 1.84

Hello,

rooting the Desire Z only works with the 1.34 firmware!

You are on 1.84 firmware now, so I suggest to use the following guide to downgrade, even when the title says "[GUIDE] Downgrade your Desire-Z from 1.72 to 1.34 (and get root and S-OFF)".

Only perform steps 1 to 12!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261

Then continue rooting as described under the topic "Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ) and DHD " in the wiki "HTC Vision":

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

If you have questions go to freenode IRC chat to channel #G2ROOT (just provide some user name and the channel name #G2ROOT with the hash).

When you do not know how to use adb then see the guide "ADB for Noobs - How to get adb working !" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685. On Windows make sure you have HTC drivers installed (HTC Sync installs them automatically).

Best regards,

Welp, I guess I am one step from bricking my phone :D

I already tried rooting, without downgrading, with this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055581

It didn't work - no error messages, but I was unable to start Recovery Mode.

After some trials, I was able to access the recovery mode. It displayed a red exclamation mark to me, and can't open /cache/recovery/command error - and I am unable to access some of the functions mentioned in the guide. Still, the phone starts just fine, if I don't press the volume button, so I guess no brick, yet :)

//^disregard above, it seems everything is fine and dandy. Downgrading now.

I am downloading now PC10IMG.zip, then I will proceed with the other guide.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DullElf:
Okaaay, it went fine. Whew, what an adrenaline. Now, off to installing custom roms! :D

Thansk for your assistance - I will still have some noobish questions. For starters:

Before I even started tinkering with flashing, I made a complete backup of contact list / call list (that was one app), a backup of SMS (other app), backup of important files, and a list of all necessary applications.

Is there an easy way, to just create some kind of restore point? For example, I will go with Virtuous Sense, install all necessary applications, and restore all my personal data. Then I would want to check different ICS rom. Can I make somehow a complete backup of everything on phone?

//Okay, I am off to sleep. Somehow, the update to Virtuous Sense didn't work.

What I did was:

1. Create a backup with Clockwork, and store in on my HDD

2. Wipe SD card

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. Wipe cache partition

5. Wipe Dalvik cache

6. Install Virtuous Sense from *.zip file

Clockwork installed it properly, no errors were returned. Then, after rebooting, the phone freezes on HTC logo. No go. Any ideas as to what may be causing this? If there is no easy solution to this, I will return the backup in the morning... just to bring the phone back to life. If it works, well, then I will mess around with other custom roms :)

//Okay, brought back the CWM backup (which is stock 2.2, freshly after downgrading), and the phone booted back. I guess something went wrong during the flashing process.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Sorry, didn't pay attention to what 2.2 version you were on, you wouldn't have bricked your phone it just wouldn't have worked. As for a restore point nandroids will do a full backup ie curent rom and everything. If you just want to restore apps and data use titanium backup. Sms backup apps can restore call logs and messages accros roms, google sync keeps all contacts. Also various apps (color note, etc) may have backup options for those paticular apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DullElf:
Okay, everything is fine today :)

My Desire Z is fully rooted, with Virtuous Sense rom. All necessary apps installed, all contacts and SMS's are now properly synced, and I made a nandroid backup, just in case. That's just the start though - I am attracted to MIUI/Cyanogenmod (Sense UI is sometimes a little slowish, I want to know if the performance boost will be worth losing the nice UI), so I will be trying different roms in the following days.

One more question: What about the Radio changing? Which Radio configuration should I choose? Is it a matter of trial and errors? Or should I stay with the default one (I don't even know how to check, which one I have now)? Any good guides on messing with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
don't mess with radio in case you have major issues.

Too change it, grab one off this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809 and flash it according to the instructions there.

Don't bother asking which radio is the best. It's always different for everyone.
