[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DangerIsGo:
I'm fairly new to this so please be nice. There's something I don't quite understand. As the front page article points out to the recent unlocking of the S3

I've been seeing custom ROMs all over the Android Development sub forum (Synergy, CleanROM just to name a few off the top). How can they be flashed if the bootloader is locked? Am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
The bootloader just got unlocked, like, within the hour.

There was a workaround called kexec which allowed kernels and other ROMS to be flashed.

Some ROMS like Synergy only change the system folder which means the bootloader isn't a problem (no custom kernel, etc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mb27:
Those are stock ROMs that only require the phone to be rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathbynukes:
Current ROMs use an exploit that bypasses the locked bootloader. This means that custom kernels had to use kexec, which is now not needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pankajdobariya21:
There is something in the booting of the phone and this article is very interesting and also very informative.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
So what Roms kernels can we use now that the boot loader is unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shortbushemi:
whichever one you wish.. just as long as its a build for the vzw sgs3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
So I unlocked the boot loader is there anywhere to see that this has happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddarvish:
I was already annoyed that the favorites and contacts button did weird wonky switch on me sometimes and even more annoyed that my favorites was the old school gingerbread looking list and not the beautiful huge ICS tiles .. but this outright annoys the the hell out of me and its the fact that when i change my lcd density the ****ing app doesnt resize to fit the screen..HELLO SAMSUNG.. Hear of vector graphics ever? anyway if there are any alternative phone and contacts app that can work exactly like or close to the stock AOSP apps please let me know. too bad the touchwiz framework will not allow for the aosp apps to simply be ported over =(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WhiteMagician:
Hello Guys,

I've visited this great forum for a long time but i couldn't find what i'm looking for, then sorry if it's a noob question or a question that was already answared in other thread.

Currently I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431) on my Xperia ARC LT15i with unlocked bootloader and thinking about overclock it, however, as I said above, I couldn't find a custom kernel that gives me that possibility.

I've researched about DoomLord, Mesa and other ones but I only see custom works for ARC S (LT18) and using ICS 4.0.3.

In case of anybody knows some good kernel for LT15 running ICS 4.0.4 I'd really apreciate if could tell me more about or indicate any research's source.

Thank you folks and sorry if this question is inappropriate.

Regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WhiteMagician:

My friend has been using DooMKernel since May and he says that overclocking has been kind of spotty. Sometimes the phone gets really hot and unstable but for the most part is pretty stable.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFePo4:
I just restored to a previous backup of an interop-unlocked version of Tango with Zune and my phone became relocked after two days. Does anyone know if Zune now puts back the MS internet lock check links in the registry during restores? These are the two http addresses that are to prevent relock and the ones you have to undo for Tango updates to prevent relock.

I am going to restore again with the work around to prevent relock and see if these registry values are modified, but it seems it is not just updating to Tango that causes this but even a restore to a backup (and my backup was made after I edited the registry back to prevent relock). :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFePo4:
Zune Restores Relock now

UPDATE: I have tried going back to past backups I know worked before and everytime the restore is relocked immediately. MS has done something new to Zune where it relocks the phone regardless of the state you backed up. I also confirmed this with the internet disconnected so it is locally embedded in the Zune program.

I am now going back through the HTC IU process (thankfully I still have the v1 drivers) but this might explain issues I am seeing on the forum.

Question - is there any other method to restore a backup without using Zune?

Question2 - can you undo any changes MS does to Zune? How about using an older version?

This is not good
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetaZynK:
Yes, the registry entries responsible for the calling home are restored upon updating to Tango. For more information on how to upgrade without using your unlock see this guide written by Jaxbot.

Also, have you put your phone in airplane mode, too whilst trying this?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFePo4:
Yes, I am fully aware and had been unlocked on Tango. I was messing around some more with hacks on my Tango and I wanted to revert back to my backup from a few weeks ago and found that Zune's restore process locks the phone regardless of any previous unlock saved in the backup. Zune has never done this before and I have restored to unlocked backups many times.

This is new behavior for Zune and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. Unfortunately I don't recommend trying this as if it is new and true you will lose your unlock. However, it makes going back to an unlocked backup useless now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFePo4:
This appears to be related to Chevron Labs token expiring even though I have an AppHub account. I had to unlock the phone again through AppHub and then reapply the IU HTC trick. I read over on WPCentral that even if you are on an AppHub unlocked and came from the Chevron token you can still get relocked when you sync with Zune since the tokens expired. Unfortunately you have to unlock again (and this does not work if you have the prevent unlock hack applied; you have to undo that first).

Pain in the ars....hopefully my rambling and findings come in handy for anyone else in this scenario.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
I wanted to het back to a stock kernel so I flashed stock recovery and kernel back to the phone. Then i tryed to push cwm revovery back to it with the one touch root tool for mac. It reboots but no after i push CWM to it but no clockwork mod. I Tryed to intall my synergy.zip from factory recovery doesnt work. I dont know what to do im really scared.

Flash a full stock Odin image in download mode. Boom it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Can I do this on my Mac??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Honestly i think ODIN is windows only :( You might need to torrent a windows 7 iso and just install it without a key in bootcamp. If your phone is busted it's probably worth all the trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:

Has any1 noticed that the tf201 speakers during video playback seem to be working on a much lower volume? I have searched for a solution on here and the only thing I am seeing is volume + (paid version) but I do not want to risk it as I am not sure if it is only compatible with phones only can any1 suggest a fix (app) for this problem?

Many thanks:)

If any of you have tried to track down Samsung accessories you know it's a pain in the ass. You'd think they didn't want to sell them. I found a place that has 20 of each color (grey and white) due in 9/5. They are $36.03 with free shipping. Their mostly B2B and the website's kind of funky but their cheaper than retail and I've purchased accessories for my OG G-Tab from them before and they shipped promptly. They also have the holder for the S-Pen in stock which makes it the size of a normal pen and a lot easier to write with. They have some other stuff too. I figure if someone actually gets the covers in stock before 9/5 I can always cancel my order.

I didn't want to create new thread for new repack.

I guess we can keep couple of kernels in one thread.

For those of you who would like to run stock kernels with the builds

here are repacked FH13 and FH23 kernels with my recovery and some init.rc edits.

SD card read speed.

Custom boot animation support

init.d support

FH13

1. FH13_AGAT.zip flash in recovery.

2. FH13_AGAT.tar flash with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.

FH23

This repack comes with AGAT tREC_v0.2.2

1.FH23_AGAT.tar flash with ODIN or mobile ODIN Mirror

2. FH23_AGAT.zip flash in recovery. Mirror

I have tested this repack with my tFF18 rom and it works.

So far no problems.

Hope you guys will enjoy it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Will this have the same features as ur FF18 kernel such as overclock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No.

It's a stock kernel with custom recovery and small edits in initramfs.

Some users prefer to use stock kernel with stock builds.

I made it just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah but the custom kernel I have been using should work with that build as well right? Once we get it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It should.

I don't see why it would not work with new build.

It's an ICS and it's 4.0.4. So there is no reason for custom kernel not to work with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:

Love having a stock kernel with recovery...Was using the the other stock kernel on here without the recovery on FF18 for about 4 or 5 hours tonight with no issues...I'm convinced that there's something wrong with that FF18 kernel...I've never had issues like on that kernel...I was back on EL29 for the past couple weeks...so far so good on this kernel...

I'm on rooted stock FF18 with this kernel now...no issues...I used the .tar - odin

thanks for making this!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Not to sound like a douche but yes. I reboot twice after a fresh flash and charge to max. Then I use my phone like normal for an hr meaning screen is on and with 3g. At the end of one hr its usually sitting pretty at 80%. Sometimes 83 or sometimes 75 but that gives me an idea. I get about 10% drain per 30min on 3g with good signal thats my start point. This is how it was on gb and now on ics it has matched :)

I just flashed the rooted FH23 and then over that Agat's repacked FH23 kernel using Odin 1.85 (not mobile odin). On reboot, the splash screen has the dreded 'Yellow Triangle'

Did i do something out of sequence or wrong? How do i get rid of the triangle? Any help is appreciated!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
First of all This rom comes with FH23 repacked kernel as stated in OP.

Second any time you flash kernel via PC ODIN it will trigger yellow triangle.

To get rid of that tirangle you can use "Triangle away" app from play store.

To avoid triangle in the future download and install Mobile ODIN. It's free for XDA member. You can find that app in the forum.

Got a Q. This is a basically stock KERNEL with recovery and some sprinkles (init.d,etc). If I am running a STOCK ROM and THIS kernel would/should the OTAs from sprint work? I am asking because I want to root my wife's phone and I'd like to keep a CWM recovery for 'get out of jail free' convenience of backing up/restoring but I do not want to move my wife too far off of stock.

Will the OTA fail because of the recovery? I'm going to *guess* yes but I wanted to confirm.

If yes, I probably should just root her phone then reflash the fully stock kernel, correct?

Thxx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I never took any OTA from sprint so I can't say for sure but I think you're right and OTA will fail with repacked kernel.

You can put stock kernel tar file on your sd and run repacked kernel till you get an OTA notification.

Than you can flash stock kernel with mobile ODIN and after that take OTA.

This way you will have custom recovery and other options available to you till OTA because we don't know when next update will happen and you might want to back in that time or run some scripts for better battery life or performance.

So you will have the best of 2 worlds.
