Kernals are in the dev section. there are 2 different types. depends on what you want to flash. read up.

Flashing can be done through heimdall/Odin or CWM recovery(when you get it). there are 2 different types for this as well.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

yea no flashing in recovery, if its not there. flash with heimdall....or Odin(if you must)

Sorry man, but are you trying recovery correctly?

both volume keys held down, then hold power button. hold through first screen, will come back a 2nd time, after a second of the 2nd screen i let go of power, then a second later I let go of vol keys.

This is just the easiest way i've found to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Contingency™:
Also make sure your phone isnt plugged in to your computer when trying to access CWM Recovery menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbuckham:
The latest OTA frustrated me so I decided I needed to root my i777.

I had a very similar and scary prob. I rooted my phone with no problem using the GalaxyS2root.com page. I have an i777. Booting the phone does now says 1900 and have the yellow triangle with exclamation mark but no big deal. Phone is running i777 firmware fine.

Problem occurred when I attempted to flash a new ROM. I flashed an AOKP JB ROM using CWR. When the phone booted it got stuck. I could see the new 1900 boot screen but then it would flicker and go black sometimes looping back to the 1900 screen. If my usb cord was plugged in, I could get to Download mode (vol up, vol down, and power for about 10 seconds), but no further.

I read several forum posts with no definitive answers. I originally rooted my phone with a Mac, but decided to attempt to unroot/reroot with a PC. Then I got to thinking maybe I could flash a different kernel. In hindsight, I wasn't as careful as I should have been in my approach to flashing Kernels, but I had the right idea apparently. I flashed TASK650 3.0.38-i777 specific kernel and bam, got the phone to go to Recovery!

I really hope this helps someone. I'm so appreciative for the pieces of advice here and in so many other forums. XDA has always been a source of great information (I remember rooting my original HTC Incredible 3 years ago...so nervous).

Never user that site. The triangle means you tripped the flash counter. Factory reset and you should be able to boot into aokp

## Edit: Geez I'm a noob...

I just wasn't holding down the recovery key combination long enough on boot. After a few cycles it booted into CWM Recovery. The phone itself doesn't boot, but that's not a big deal because I'm going to put CM on it anyway.

## End Edit

My problem sounds very similar to the OP and the problem quoted above. I was following the i777 instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki (can't post links yet... wiki.cyanogenmod [dot] org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i777). Running heimdall on Ubuntu, I was able to flash codeworkx's ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3 (and I checked and double-checked the md5sum) to my phone. As advertised, a blue bar appeared, Terminal told me "KERNEL upload successful", and the phone rebooted.

Unfortunately, at this point, I can't get past the initial Samsung splash screen; the boot just hangs. I also can't boot into recovery, but I can boot into download mode. From the reading I've been doing, it sounds like I should flash a different kernel. Does it matter which one? My phone was originally running the most recent OTA update (4.0.4), if that matters.

Sorry for the noobish questions, but at this point I'm scared that making changes will bork the phone more than I already have. Any advice is very much appreciated!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbuckham:
Yeah, that was my bad. Bit late though on never using that site. I still will pass your (and now my) advice on!

Before I went there, I had looked around the XDA forums. I had read many of the questions I was researching on XDA but continually found a "go do your research noob" type of answer. It was AFTER the fact, that I found what I needed. I guess the "uh-oh" feeling produced a more intense desire to research below the surface. Live and learn!

I still have the triangle and I'm booting into AOKP 4.1.2 (build from 12/2/2012) fine. I have read about Triangle Away and it seems that previous versions worked with i777 but the most recent version does not appear to list i777 so for now I'm just dealing with the tripped flash counter. My phone is out of warranty anyway, so I'm not that concerned about it.

Huge thanks for the response. For me, it really seems I flashed the wrong kernel (thanks to the aforementioned website). Outside of that "alert" at boot, phone functions the way it should.

Cheers!

I went for it and used Triangle-Away 2.5. All done. Bootscreen warning is gone. Happy phone. :D

i777 stuck on triangle boot screen

Hi,

I am fairly new at this

I am on Shostock 3 v1.4. (rooted on zedomax gb kernel from galaxys2root). It worked pretty well until I tried to back up current ROM

I downloaded ROM manager from play store and flashed clockwork mod and went to back up current ROM and my AT&T i777 got stuck on triangle boot screen

I could not get into recovery mode to fix the problem (tried vol + and vol - and power button)

phone will not power down, I pulled the battery several times

after putting battery back in, tried powering back on and got the triangle boot screen again

any help would be appreciated

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
You are kidding. Why the hell would you download ROM manager after all the warnings in the forums? To top it off, if you were already on a custom ROM, you already had cwm.

I can't believe that you would risk your device without familiarizing yourself with the intricacies of it. Astonishing.

Try doing some legwork and reading the forums, as your fix has been posted before

Does this work with the iPhone 5?!;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbuckham:
Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. You need to flash a different kernel. More than likely that is the problem...at least that was my problem. Can you get into Download Mode, not Recovery Mode? You'll need a computer to do it. Seems to be easier on PC...or maybe more people use a PC to do it.

ROM Manager currently will work with i777. It went through a VERY bad period where it screwed up a bunch of phones. But ROM Manager is NOT necessary or recommended as it is in many kernels.

The Triangle issue is something that seems to be connected with the root method used on that other website. Triangle-Away worked for me...but you need to get your phone working again.

Hope this provides some help.

I installed it. It works. I did uninstall it after 2 weeks of use with no problems. I uninstalled after I read several people who had issues. I assumed it was a fluke and I should probably get rid of it plus it is unnecessary. I can confirm it worked as of 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Long Time Reader first time Poster !

I have rooted my phone and flashed my phone a bunch of times. All of them went great. When The gingerbread OTA came through I flashed back to the Orginal Build Number of Sph-d700 Eclair.dI18 and then updated the phone through the OTA froyo and then to the gingerbread. Then the phone was rooted and all was good for months. Then an update came for the phone that Could not be done because of the root.

Finally after months of saying no to the message of installing an update I figure , I ll flash the phone back to the Eclair with the tar and pit file I have always used and then update it fully just using the wifi.

Heres the problem. Everything went great and I am using the orginal Eclair again but no update has been sent to the phone for 3 days when normally it was instant ?

So I look through the forums for the Froyo update.zip and every link I find is Dead ?

Any thoughts on the next step ? any help would be amazing, Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JavaJunkay:
So I'm thinking of getting a new device, and my top 2 candidates are Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note (probably Note), but give me a few reasons why Note and not Nexus when Nexus is cheaper

Btw, Note has better and faster processor, yet Nexus scores better on most benchmarks. Please tell me that on some ROM Note does better.

Also, which one is better in shooting 1080p video? That matters to me, and I suppose Note has better pics but its not all about megapixels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MinnesotaVikings1961:
The reason I brought the Note was because of the big screen. This was the big "wow thing" for me.

But if you are a big rooter, and tests all ROMs, then I should go with the Nexus, just because of there is so many more ROMs etc. on the Nexus than the Note.

Please hit the "Thanks" if this helped you a bit!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
there is no other "similar device"...

:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LemonPowerForce:
does it? I the first few videos I looked at seemed to suggest that the Note benchmarked higher, as you'd expect from better specs. >.>

I bought the note for the unmatched screen size, and the potential of a stylus. which remain good reasons to consider one.

neither phone should have issues playing 1080p video (although both are below 1080p resolution) although a larger screen is possibly preferable.

I'm told the note does indeed have a better camera, but neither are professional camera quality, so it's not something I worry about.

This is also true. x)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukeinchina:
Big screen and S-Pen. I have fat fingers and had a hard time clicking internet links on my old iPhone 3G, and the S-Pen makes surfing the net and clicking even on small links very easy - it's a lot more precise than a finger, that's for sure. It also makes entering text in Chinese very easy.

The large screen is fantastic for web surfing, games, and videos too. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JavaJunkay:
As for the ROMs I don't exactly like flashing all of them, all I want is one fast nice ROM. Having a Nexus device atm everyone tells that every ROM is awesome and it sucks finding the best one because not all rumors are true, that is why I wanna settle for a bit less developer device.

I'm probably gonna order Note now, I still have to check out the GNex in real life, Note is amazing my friend has it and I have no problem with its size considering my average sized hands.

Thanks everyone, I hit the thanks button to all of you not sure if it worked on Tapatalk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] marevalo:

Its size, and s-pen, since palm times i've been waiting for something like that.

But the size was what really close de deal for me.

This was both for my poor eyes, and fat fingers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kyrirhcp:
I had a HTC HD7 and a HTC Flyer and sold both for the Note. I loved WP but I hated having to keep 2 devices synchronized and the Flyer was awkward and geavy to carry.

The S Pen was the reason I chose the Note, as well as that it was a small tablet with phone capabilities.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psionic11:
The Note is the all-in-one solution for me:

-- gaming device (with S-pen Defender and Draw Something are more fun)

-- handheld movie watching, YouTube videos

-- email and web surfing

-- music player w/ Bluetooth headset

-- 32GB removable SD for movies and tons of songs, ebooks, apps, pics, films

-- radio

-- GPS (good as a TomTom)

-- Skype phone

-- eBook reader

The removable battery and SD card, bigger screen, and bonus stylus are what sealed the deal for me. As for benchmarks, my boss just got a Sprint EVO 4G LTE, and we're still neck and neck for benchmark scores, with his "Eagle" just edging out my Note. No one else at work has a faster phone other than the just-released EVO.

Who needs a tablet when you have a Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
If I didn't love my note so much I'd take the s3 before the Nexus any day. Although I wouldn't change my Note for either.

I find the bigger screen makes it a lot more usable as a multimedia device. Web browsing is great and you don't need to bring it to your nose to read - i can read from the phone at arm's length.

I do think the s-pen is really underrated. At first I found it a little awkward to use as it's a little small but soon got used to it. Using the pen for notes, drawings and scribbles are a much more natural way to work especially when you're trying to record down abstract concepts. With the ICS update most of the issues i had with it are gone.

I've you've ever tried to sign your name or draw with your finger you know touch interfaces have their limitations. The s-pen allows a level of precision, accuracy and more natural pen feeling that is not found anywhere else.

It's probably why the great painters weren't finger painters :)

I found playing 'Draw Something' was a great way to learn and get used to the pen :) The only annoying thing is playing against people with 3.5" iphones - it's really hard to see what they're trying to draw!

about CG2.smg

Hey man I'm interested in the thread and i can help you extracting the CG2.smg

Here you are my tut. [for windows] it worked for me

1- unrar the file in the attachments

2- make sure that your file is named to 'CG2.smg' without quotes for sure, and in the same folder..

3- just run the .bat and wait for cmd to finish the job then you will find a folder called 'CG2-extracted' in the same place you extracted my .rar file

Note: you will find in the folder called 'CG2-extracted' some mbn files, systemsec.mbn is the /system folder in the xt311/xt316

extract it easily using unyaffs like a system.img file, if you need help in this PM me. i can help you extracting systemsec.mbn only, i dunno about other files also to repack systemsec.mbn you'll need mkyaffs and i think it's usable on ubuntu only and i can't help you with it

sorry for long reply but press thanks if i helped.

Is there any custom rom for XT316/XT311?
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
Unfortunately not yet.. Neither custom recoveries

Anytime Sir ! I just want to help in anyway getting this device better, By the way here's a list of useless applications so far !

- 7x27_FQC.apk

- Arabware.apk < 7 megabytes and useless

- Wifipowersavingmode.apk < I think it drains the battery faster -.-

- i also removed all motoswitch APKs, And installed go launcher instead in the system. And removed pre-installed live wallpapers

Also if you have errors like "preparing sd card - checking for errors" in the status bar you can delete system/bin/fsck_msdos since i deleted i get no errors for my partitioned sd card

Q/Request: Do you know how can i customize Notify led ? Like changing color and speed ? also it doesn't work with whatsapp!

Thanks anyway ! Ps. led works by Notifyled.apk.. of course you know xD

And Yeah, i found some srs files also, time ago, i thought it would be awesome to have a panel for it ! but maybe it's the normal speakers at the back and it's drivers..
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
No, i don't know, srry!

And we cannot use the control panel with the file incluided in the ROM. Needs a lot of files...

And i'm trying to por XT300 Toggle Widget to XT316. It will be harder but... it's beautiful!
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
It's weird how motorola build their phones and drivers, unlike samsung they give full customization !

And good luck man i wish i could help but i'm not really helpful in porting and modding :D
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Yeah, Motorola lock the bootloader, locks the customization and much more. We need a CWM. FASTER!

Edit: before 2.3 versions, Motorola odexed the roms. All of the files were odexed. But Motorola now deodexed everything. So it will be easier.

And i think we can port the CWM from XT300. So, let's try!
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
I didn't know that there was cwm for xt300, but i think, if there is cwm for xt530/xt531/xt532 it'd be easier to port, since xt53X is to close to our xt311/xt316 and it also have 2.3.5 while xt300 2.1 only

Edit: i think xt311/xt316 users will never have custom recoveries/roms unless the bootloader is unlocked, and it'll be so hard to unlock such bootloader since the phone is not popular
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Some guys tried to do an 2ndInit to maybe try to get CWM work. But didn't worked. A file from the battery (when you turn off the phone and conntect the charger, the big battery icon) was missing. But works without this file.

AND I FOUND WHERE WE CAN ACTIVATE SRS! Is in cda.prop, it's configured to false.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
So what happens if i changed the value to true ?

i don't think cda props apply actually i tried to change the value of lock screen support rotation to true and nothing changed.

And Yup i read something about that battery icon too but i didn't understand fully how does that relate to unlocking bootloader

i think the bootloader must get hacked easily since as i see it's a common bootloader in many fones for ex. xt530 xt531 xt532 xt300 xt311 xt316 xt317 or am i wrong ?
