Question:

I am using this kernel currently: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756776

The OP states that to go back to a different kernel, one must flash a stock kernel image (since that kernel uses updated bluetooth and wifi drivers). However, since that was originally written as an AT&T kernel, the stock kernel they have is (obviously) an AT&T one.

Therefore, would flashing this kernel work to return my device to normal? The OP of that posts states that the drivers are in /system/lib/modules folder, so if this overwrites that I would think it would be an adequate fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
Im pretty sure if you post a kernel, you have to post source code. I just dont want you to get into trouble. Correct me if im wrong.

EDIT: My bad, i didnt realize the link went to your site. Sorry about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Nope, this just overwrites the boot.img file. Does not touch the /lib folder.

If you need the lib/module folders then let me know. I can post those after work tonight.

his is a stock kernel with unsecure boot image. What are you talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
If you have them available, I would really appreciate it. Is it simple enough to have a cwm-flashable zip to rewrite that section for switching to other kernels? Or would I have to put it in the phone manually? Either way, I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Nah, its easy. Its just CWM Zip file. It just copies some files from the zip to the /lib/modules folder. I will redo the boot.img with them as I never thought about people who may be coming from a non stock base using this to flash back.

You sir, have enlightended me! lol

I'll make a Version 2 when I get home tonight. It wont take but 15 seconds...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
Haha cool! Glad I inspired you. Thanks for the work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cadams122593:
flash this in clockwork right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
Yeah im a loser. please disregard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I prefer and recommend twrp but CWM shoudl work.

Nah, not at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Version 2 posted with /system/lib/modules folder for those that need / want it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
FYI for those interested...

Posted v3 - Corrected incorrect adbd in /sbin for proper colors when using screen capture while in Dalvik Debug Manager. Does include modules as well.

If you dont know what Dalvik Debug Manager is then you dont need to worry about this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arh2o:
Hi Scott,

Thanks for this. Quick question, can I flash this over Synergy's rom? They're using Ziggy's kernel but I prefer to use the default kernel with their ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I would beleive so because we are all using the same VARLG1 Base but you might want to just double check with them. They may have other enhancements in the RAM Disk that make there ROM function. This is an otherwise stock Ramdisk other than the addition of root level adb access and init.d scripting (run-parts) addition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
I feel stupid for asking but what are the exact commands to flash this kernel thru adb or terminal emulator which ever is easier for you. I've only ever flashed kernels thru recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This kernel flashes via recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
I threw this together for ya Scott. If you want me to pull it I will. But it's the latest kernel from VRALG7.. Well.. Here it is. I just grabbed it from Scotts new ota stock Rom along with the modules folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good thinking! I will evenutally get it in the OP. So busy right now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Does it work good? Or at all? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
Been running it for about 5 hours. Seems to be good thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
This new stock kernel works extremely well, thanks for posting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
I know. I'm actually pretty impressed by it as well, battery is very good and I don't know if kernel helps signal but I seem to get better 4g at my parents place. Love it
[Android General] bsuhas:
Maybe most of us already knowing this, I am making a note of this technique so that it will be helpful for others.

It's a windows batch file script which will install all the applications to phone in single shot. Phone is not necessarily rooted. Only if you are pushing system app then root is required.

You need apk files on your computer, kept together in a folder.

Connect your phone to system using USB cable.

Make sure adb.exe is in the system 'path' environmental variable. (If not replace adb with fill adb path of adb.exe in below script)

Create a batch file with following contents in the same folder where apk files are kept -

adb wait-for-device
@echo off
adb remount
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.apk') do call adb install "%%a"
echo now phone will reboot.
pause
adb reboot

Save and run the batch file. It will install each app one by one.

If you want to speed up the installation, you can install apps using push method. Below is script for that.

adb wait-for-device
@echo off
adb remount
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.apk') do call adb push "%%a" /data/app/
echo now phone will reboot.
pause
adb reboot

Also if you want to install system application, replace /data/app/ with /system/app/ in above script.

Can u help me guys, after flashing cmrex v1, i've got same problem with u :D, my gallery n my music cannot read sdcard, I did full wipe twice, n when I explore my device using rootexplorer, there is two directory sdcard n storage/sdcard0/do u guys get the same problem with me ???

Sorry for bad english :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
I deleted the .nomedia file but google music still doesn't see the 5gb of music on my phone when i check the box that says on device only. It gives the me message saying to see my full library to uncheck on device only. I'm running the 8/2 build of JB with the built in kernel on my NS4G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peepee999:
Same here, i deleted nomedia files but still no music, no pictures
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snuffalofagus:
Did you guys update rom manager? If you're stock, I don't believe there's anything you can do (nothing I've heard of anyway) If you're running a custom ROM, try reflashing the ROM and gapps and they should show up. (Read in another thread that it worked) Rom manager really screwed us over.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikex:
this happen to me and i solve it.

del ".nomedia" at the root path of sdcard, and then reboot. the media service will scan you sdcard, after a few minute you will find you media files again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
What I did:

Update Rom Manager -- delete any .nomedia files from your sd card -- clear cache/data on gallery/music/etc -- clear data on media storage --wipe cache/dalvik -- reboot Flashing won't get rid of the .nomedia files on SD

Maybe some unnecessary steps but worked
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
Found another instance of the .nomedia file. Found it by going in the Android folder then into the Data folder. Deleted it, cleared cash in gallery and music, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik then rebooted phone. It now sees my music with the on device only box checked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gravtec:
Hi all, why my neo always force close when playing HD game? I have download real racing 2 game and i can play the game but always force close. How to solve it? My neo is official ICS with rooted. Tq
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] F.A.I.S.A.L:
real racing 2 is not properlly optimized for ics ,needs bit higher RAM

I had same issue, but after enable 128mb of ZRAM game works.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gravtec:
Do u suggest me go back to GB or u have another solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
try this.. (assuming you haven't tried it)

install link2sd from playstore.

make a partition on sd.

link all apps to sd.

now,a lot of internal memory is free. RAM also.

now try the game and tell me.

p.s. I played a few HD games. All work fine. No FCs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] munzirhussein:
GB is always recommended for better gaming! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gravtec:
I will try, and report the result. Tq for suggestion..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
you don't have to move to GB for gaming. From my view, GB looks ugly ;)

And once I started using link2sd, games were smoother than they were on GB..for me.

here is the step by step procedure.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] F.A.I.S.A.L:
Link2sd sd somehow helps to increse RAM, but games like Real Racing 2, Call of duty black oops needs more then that...

so I am using zram and every thing is fine..

and about gb, gaming is better on gb, becouse most of games are well optimized with it...

but I dont like gb

Flashed slim pics 4 2, awesome rom but cannot get radio signal no matter what I do.

What can I does?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKoolkid:
Well its either that you flash a new radio, like KB5 or try toggling flight mode. That worked for me when I had ICS.

I had this same problem with the aokp milestone six. The only way for me to fix it was for me to use a linario build
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
what is a "linario" build? Can you link me to one that worked for you?

All I want is a stable ICS ROM to run on this thing....

I have never used a Vibrant before, I am doing this for a friend and I am kinda playing it by ear. This phone is so crazy, coming from a Galaxy Nexus this thing is so complicated, lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
airplane mode thing didn't work, it cannot find network.

It is doing this with any 4.0+ ROM I try, and every time I flash a new ROM it keeps changing recoveries on me, I've gone thru like 5 recoveries...

Not only that but half the ROMs won't flash, and I cannot find a GB ROM to try out to see if I can get radio working again.

And how the hell do I get into download mode? vol dn + Power just bootloops the splash screen.

This phone is so insane.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKoolkid:
Download mode is first holding both volume buttons then inserting the USB in while holding then down.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:

Thanks a bunch man, here goes nothing.

I got into a bootloop of Doom in recovery, so ODINed stock 2.2, now I have to root/flash again :s will report back :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
sigh....

did an Odin stock flash, used the toolbox to root, then used the toolbox to "flash custom ROM" selected this ROM,

it starts to flash then reboots, then gets into a recovery mount error, and restart loop, so now my recovery is borked, looks like i have to Odin AGAIN.

Is there a better way to flash this ROM than the toolbox? I feel like it's using a bad version of CWM or something. Once i root it, what do I do?

edit: I'm going to Odin stock while I wait for reply
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
Usually when you get into a boot loop all you have to do is go back into recovery in reflash the rom. that should take care of the problem but if it doesent you can always just re wipe and reflash the rom again then reeboot recovery and flash again. don't forget to flash the gapps I c s version
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
I can't get recovery to load, it crashes and reboots. the actual recovery got borked.

maybe I'm missing something here?

From stock 2.2 I go to root -> flash custom blah, it flashes/loads cwm and I do the ROM.zip thing, then bam recovery is borked... :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
If you odined back it should have taken away root so you would need to reinsrall packages. Km not gonna be able to help anymore till around d four. Sorry I have band camp

[HTC Sensation] Sad Sensation:
I did a bad, bad thing. I thought I understood the process much better than I actually did and quickly found myself in over my head. Now I'm worried that I have a permanently bricked, very expensive paperweight on my hands. Is there any hope for recovering my Sensation?

My goal was to install CM9.

These are the steps that led to this problem:

Did the HTC Dev Unlock through the HTC website.

I used the KGS Utility v6.6 to root the device. The script told me it was successful, but I opened a terminal on the phone and couldn't tell if I had root priveleges.

Tried Juopunutbear to S-Off, but the script said it couldn't find device. “Connect Device and Install Drivers.”

Stupidly following directions I found online, I used the One X All In One Kit v1.0. I thought this was specifically for the Sensation at the time. I hit the button to flash the kernal and that's where my troubles begin. Couldn't get past HTC loading screen.

Power Button + Down volume to get into boot loader, instead. “Recovery” and “Factory Setting” in Fastboot wouldn't load anything at all.

Tried using Fastboot in a command line. I attempted to install a recovery image, but it wouldn't take. The bootloader was in “relocked” mode.

An online thread I found said that you can't flash a recovery unless your bootloader is unlocked. I took the advice in that thread and told Fastboot to use the Unlock_code.bin file once again. The phone said it was about to unlock. Then it completely shut off.

The phone will not turn on, and I can't even get it to boot into recovery mode.

Is there any hope for me? Thanks in advance for your help.

(HTC Sensation 4G, T-Mobile, US, Was Running Stock ICS)

S-Off, Was trying to get S-On.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thats a brick all right. You can always try the unbricking method by dexter in the dev section but for this specific case, dont get your hopes up because I dont think it will work but its worth a try.

If it doesnt work the only way to unbrick is to find someone who can JTAG it
[HTC Sensation] Sad Sensation:
Thank you.

That's unfortunate, but I didn't even know about JTAG until today. It's good to know at least that there is a silver lining. I was worried that there were no possible solutions to get it back up and running.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
One thing I will say about JTAG is dont do it yourself, it is too easy to get it wrong and besides the jtag box costs a lot of money so its cheaper to send it to someone who does it for buisness than to buy the hardware
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Wow now thats crazy

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Can atleast boot in to boot loader
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
First and foremost, contact HTC. They don't check bricked devices.

Also, it doesn't matter if you bought the phone used because the warranty is traced by the serial number of the device.

Contact them & say that the phone randomly switched off & never came back on.

If they find the device to be in warranty, which is most likely, then they will replace the mobo on the phone.

You shouldn't have any hardware modified on the phone & all the warranty stickers should be present.
[HTC Sensation] blackcell1:
Try using dexters HTC sensation unbrick tool, if that doesn't work then try looking for a jtagging service. If your from the UK then try fonefunshop.com
[HTC Sensation] Sad Sensation:
I used the HTC Dev Unlock tool through their website. I was under the impression that doing that voids your warranty? Does anyone happen to know?

Also, a question about JTAG-ing the phone. Does that process also restore the operating system or just get you into Hboot? Just curious if I'll end up with a fully functional phone through a JTAG service (in case HTC can't help).
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I don't think you will have problems.. With htc-dev unlock... As it said it may void the warranty but not it Will void the warranty.. Also your issue seems like hardware side.. So hardware issues will not be voided even if you do htc-dev unlock afaik
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
JTAG forces the correct files onto the partitions of your phone however it wont do it for boot, system or data partitions because that would make the resurector dll enormous to download, as it is the resurecter is already over 15mb.

After JTAG then I would suggest flash an RUU or custom ROM immediately because after JTAG phone boots but is unstable.

source, riffbox site and my own experiance ;)
[HTC Sensation] Sad Sensation:
Not sure if anyone would know this, but do JTAG services (such as mobiletechvideos.com) typically do that for you?

And again, just want to say thanks for everyone's comments so far. I truly appreciate all of the help.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Doubt it but dont know for certain

[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
JTAG will not solve any hardware faults & this seems like a hardware fault. Remember, once you try JTAG, warranty is void even if you had it before.

Talk to HTC support first. They will not check anything at all on the phone. If you don't try, it's your loss.

There's no need to mention anything about what happened. Just say it happened randomly.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
sorry but I disagree, he flashed something meant for One X which seems to have messed the partitions up so its not a hardware issue therefore JTAG should fix it. Ofcouse he could always try contacting HTC aswell...
[HTC Sensation] atrako1973:
i would send it to htc first before i do anything , if you are still in waranty, sorry this happened to you better read and concentration needed when doing this sort of things but than again it happens....
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
The phone bricked after flashing the unlock token. The one x kernel has nothing to do with it.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with beats audio
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes but the unlock token is still software, not hardware and from what I can gather the One X kernel thing is flashed to a different partition on the eMMC chip than a sensation kernel so this looks to me (I could be wrong if course) that a kernel was flashed to a partition containing other data which resulted in that data being erased/overwritten

This phone is newer and has a longer life cycle.

If they updated our phones first...where would the motivation to upgrade be?

This is how big business works today. Ive studied various engineering cycles in different fields...you would be surprised how often planned obsolescence is used to encourage greater consumption.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
That be the truth. I also think they pay close attention to the dev community and have taken note that those with the means, will pay any price to get the latest version of Android, even if that means a new phone at full retail cost..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] farandel:
Don't get me wrong... I'm well aware that controlling demand is their game.. but I mean really, its just silly at this point. The beautiful thing about open source is that its open... let the devs play! :cool:
