[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FreydNot:
Well, I did fresh Nandroid and Titanium backups and then let it try to update. The phone rebooted into CWM recovery and attempted to apply the update. It failed due to some kind of signature problem. I then rebooted back and got a message saying the update failed and the previous state would be restored.

Before all this started I did have issues with low free space on the internal card (it seems to give a warning if less than 500MB is free). I also get renotified about a missed call after every reboot (even though I have cleared the notification before rebooting).

Could this be a phantom update caused by low storage space?

You can't apply the new ota updates if you're rooted and running a custom recovery. Devs are working already to get the flash able zip for us rooted people
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
Just to add to this, you can go into titanium backup & freeze software updater 1.0 & software updater 3.0 if you want to stop the update from coming through while your on a custom Rom. You can then wait for your rom to be updated shortly by the dev with the new base incorporated.

Yes that's what I did. I actually had four updaters one was by red the other three I froze

Hi, is the freeze software updater in titanium backup or is it a separate app? I could not find it. If it's in titanium backup could you tell me where it's located? Thank you.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jccovert:
ota root keeper + titanium

Definitely do a titanium backup first! I used ota root keeper to test how easy it was to go back and forth from rooted to temp un-root and titanium backup failed to startup afterwards. So basically I just reinstalled titanium and then it worked fine. So if you're going to use ota root keeper ...

Make Titanium backup first (should be a standard to all)

use OTA root keeper to backup su and then temp un-root

apply patch

then OTA root keeper to go back to root and delete su

If you have problems with titanium again, just reinstall

And if you end up not being able to go back to root...just re-root (but should not be a problem)

hey guys..

so i just used Strawmetal's method of Downgrading my 2.3.4 to 2.2 HTC G2 *T-mobile* and continued to root it. I am able to boot into clockwork and just did a backup. I know its kinda noob, but im coming from a defy, but now.. am i free to flash any rom as i please? specifically Im looking into the G-lite... im concerned about kernel incompatablity and what not..

im not sure what the rules are for the G2 phone.. its been a LONG time since using the G2 and Im coming back to it. So any any help would be really appreciated..

Thanks a lot
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
If your already made a backup with clockwork then you can go ahead and flash the roms/gapps. Make sure you wipe beforehand. The rom should come with its kernel
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustbevick:
thanks yo... ite crossing fingers... first boot...

anything else i need to flash? .. governors? fixes? ... radio? .. gps?

oOOOOhhh WHeee.. just booted... soo pretty :D... thanks again !!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Umm governors are part of the kernel. You should be able to control them either with the roms inbuilt tools or an app like setcpu.

You should upgrade to the latest . 19 radio. There are instructions on how to do that on the forums. Ill try to find the link.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustbevick:
thanks alot.. i just flashed the new radio.. ahh man.. this rom is REALLY PLAIN.. haha but i guess thats the point.. any recommendations for one that looks decent and has good battery life? ... i suspect i will need to jump on that hzboot requirement..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Im not familiar with the glite rom. From what i could read on the thread it is designed to be lite. Im currently running the latest version of mimicry. Its pretty smooth and has amazing battery life for an ics rom. Im not sure what you meant by the changing the hzboot. You can always install the eng hboot for the g2. However you will need to install the desire z hboot for trying out sense roms. Ill also recommend installing 4ext recovery instead of clockwork.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadeye37:
I just downgraded/rooted/installed a new ROM yesterday. I went with Mimicry 1.3.2. There's plenty of cool features with that ROM. My favorites are the customizable lock screen (add up to 4 shortcuts), quick torch (hold power button while screen is off and your LED light will turn on), customizable battery icons (5 choices, 4 of which have percentages), shortcuts in the notifications screen (very useful). The ROM itself doesn't have many apps installed aside from the gapps you had to install.

The Aroma installer made everything a breeze. I also like how the WiFi calling package along with other tweaks were options in the installer. I would definitely recommend this ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prairie-dad:
I am finding Mimicry good, too, and there's 1.4.0 now, just since yesterday

Like Deadeye, and indeed just a few hours earlier, I also rooted and installed Mimicry 1.3.2 yesterday. I am much impressed, and think it's a good choice for starters. Make sure you get 4ext recovery at some point, it makes changing ROMs so easy that you can always try another if you want...I've heard good things about several...aokp and elite mod are being used by people who helped me root, for example.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] own4gepur:
Just do a backup and flash any rom in the g2 developement section, you'll be good to go
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strip419:
If you plan on installing any sense Rom you need to install desire z hboot this will give you more system space and less space for apps 500mb and 1Gb respectively

Just google desire z hboot for g2 you will get it from there for an ics sense 4 Rom try gen y visionX B5 that's the best out there

What is the difference between One X Original Android Development and One X Android Development???

TY.
[HTC One X] Wir3start3r:
One X Original Android Development:

As the name already says is the One X Original Android Development for "real" development (cm10, Kernels and so on)

One X Android Development:

The One X Android Development forum is more for modifying the stock HTC Sense Rom etc.

Viper ROM is also a sense based ROM but it comes under Original Android Development as Jan has made many changes to HTC's framework and modified it a lot to give us awesome customizations

i 've got an amaze 4g t-mobile recently.it works perfectly.but then,i updated to ICS through OTA...

Everything work fine except Wifi,i cant turn on wifi at all.It only show error when i try to turning on ...

I did search the whole forums,trying everthing i can do..unlock boot loader/rooted/s-off/flash 4EXT recovery/flash many cook rom (android revolution,fastrom,energy rom..),kernel(ruby-faux123 v007/v008/v015/v016..)

finally i reverted back to Stock GB with "PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed".

but wifi still shows ''error'' at all,when i try to turning on hotspot ,the phone force to reset .

currently:

Stock GB:2.3.4

thanks sir :)

i try to flashing this kernel into my stock GB:Amaze-EKF-009b-sense.zip

hope it works
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Kernel won't change much, but the wifi drivers being present in the kernel just might help, let me know your results.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ronaldinho_07:
as you have said,i just flashed the above kernel (Amaze-EKF-009b-sense.zip) into stock GB,but wifi error is still there :(

after that,i updated to ICS via RUU and flashed this kernel from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362759 (at #5)

Nothing changes. :(

at the first time,i have flashed the Amaze ICS(v015) kernel via 4EXT touch recovery,flashed kernel successfully .

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359951)

but i think i go wrong somewhere,because the following instruction said:

CWM Flash Instructions: (NO LONGER SUPPORTING CWM METHOD DUE TO HTC's STUPID S-ON UNLOCK!!!)

1. Copy file to SDcard

2. Reboot to CWM recovery

3. Flash the Zip file (if you noticed an error, Flash the same file the 2nd time)

4. Reboot, Done!

i read carefully the second way

Easy Kernel Flasher Instructions:

1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)

2. unzip to a folder then depends on PC or Linux

[ Windows ] open command prompt window and type Flash.bat

[ Linux ] open terminal window and type ./Flash.sh (make sure permission is set to 755 for the Flash.sh)

3. Let the script complete!

,downloaded the kernel,extracted into a folder on my pc.

but i dont see any "Flash.bat'' and dont know how to flash it.

but in the folder that i've just extracted.i found two file:

wl12xx.ko and wl12xx_sdio.ko

putting the whole folder modules into the this kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362759) and run flash.bat...

after flashing,both wifi and bluetooth broken :(

when i try to turning them on,they turn off instantly

Try to run my AIO tool, which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762936

If that doesn't work, more likely than not, it's a hardware issue, as my AIO tool will install a MOSTLY stock RUU with a stock kernel. If that doesn't work, I strongly doubt anything else would work either.

Make sure you follow the directions for the tool.

btw,i try to flashing faux123-kernel via CWM recovery,but i's aborted

btw,when i was in a custom rom with fraux's kernel.it would just stay in dim grey and say "turning wifi on" and freeze there for a while,then saying "Error''

but,when i tried to copying "wlan12xx.ko,wlan12xx_sdio.ko" from Fraux kernel to Amaze stock kernel modules folder.Flashed it.

then,i turned it on and the wifi turned off itself instantly without saying error

[HTC Amaze 4G] rbross3030:
Necro'd.

Anyone have any info as to how or where to repair the wifi chip on the amaze? I'm having the same problem and am quite certain that is it hardware issue as the problem started after dropping the phone and without flashing or changing anything, fixing permissions and flashing stock RUU's, kernels, etc of no help. Hoping that something is possible, would be great if it was as simple as a loose ribbon cable...
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Hello,

Here is my situation. I got S-off, SuperCID, unlocked on my HTC amaze unbranded version. Then got ICS stock RUU to run.

The wifi, bluetooth worked fine. However, I have to compile the kernel for this exact version (matched radio, baseband kernel, etc). I downloaded the source from HTCdev (the one with TI WLAN sources), and compiled it. Then I got the zImage repacked so that it can run on the device. Then I see that the wifi, bluetooth shows "error".

The kernel build "readme.txt" located me to the kernel object files such as wl12xx.ko. So I planned to push them in to the device with command "adb push wl12xx.ko /system/lib/modules" but failed. I got super user permission ("adb shell", "su") but still cannot get the kernel objects to the device with adb command. Is there a way to handle this?

My final objective is to get the compiled kernel (with no wifi, bluetooth error) running.

PS. Doesn't actually matter if it is GB or ICS.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
It's easier if you swap the neccesary files with faux kernel zip and flash it from recovery or make your own flashable zip.. That way the modules and zimage get flashed without having to use adb
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Oh, I downloaded faux's kernel I believe version 31 (from a dropbox someone linked). and failed to flash from sd card! Any suggestions? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Why it failed? The error?
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Well, is there a custom ROM I should be using for faux's kernel? I tried to flash it with 4EXT, TWRP but both gave me same error while installing it from zip (status 7). I have the stock ICS ROM. Sorry if the questions are a little obvious, I am new here. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Great, I tried a custom ROM and faux's kernel is on now.

Oh, btw is it right to just swap the .ko files in /modules in faux's zip? and then just re-zip it?

or is there a script file that will re-zip it for me with swapped .ko files?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
just open the zip delete those ko's and put your ko's and zimage and just flash it..use winrar :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Hmm, here is the status.

I unziped faux's zip file and there sits 'kernel, META-INF, modules, system'. Deleted files in module folder and put my .ko files that I compiled (ruby-ics-crc-3.0.16.a4fb83c-wifi.tar.gz i believe). Then packed that 4 things back and zipped it. But, it doesn't get flashed. Should I put the zImage too? ... help me please!

Thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
The zimage is the kernel image itself, while the tar.gz is the compressed zimage. Without it you can't boot. You need to uncompress the ramdisk and put your compiled image into it along with your compiled .ko files (which are kernel modules / drivers). You must also place the same .ko files into /system/lib/modules of the ROM in which you are trying to install them, either by putting them into the flashable zip, pushing them with adb, or placing them manually with a file manager. Everything must be in its proper place for the new kernel to successfully boot your device.

EDIT: BTW I responded and gave you an in-depth answer to your other question in the thread over at the Cyanogenmod forums.

This really looks as if it's going to turn into 1,001 questions.

Maybe someone can point him to the "Hack The Kernel Primer" so he can start with the basics.
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang:
Yes hello and thank you for the reply.

The thing is, I just want to modify the wireless part. That's it. This means that I just need to switch the ko parts and the zImage when ever I make a modification to the wireless part, right?

And yes I understand that I need to uncompress the ramdisk image file and exchange the zImage part and compress it back. Of course switch the .ko that I have created in too. (I am talking about the faux kernel zip file, other flashable zips haven't been tried yet and my own kernel zip doesn't boot at all)

THEN, I need to put those exact same .ko files into HTC amaze /system/lib/module. But I get errors trying to push these .ko files in. Also, is 'insmod' command needed when I am in 'adb shell'?

Could you direct me to some threads that has the solutions to this? or at least close to this? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Yes I think so too.

I am in need of instructions. I just want to fix the wireless part in this and try it out myself.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
how come you know, how to download a kernel source and make the build environment and compile it with a toolchain but have no idea on how to swap zimage and the kernel modules into a already prebuild zip? :/ ... open the faux kernel zip go to kernel folder and delete zimage and put your zimage into that folder ...then go to modules folder and delete all those modules and put your modules inside that..now flash it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang90:
Thats because I have done it in reference phones like Galaxy series long ago. I remember it was quite simple. But that was long time ago too. And plus a linux compile for normal ubuntu desktop.

Anyways, it keeps on failing to install (both 4EXT and TWRP). I just did what you have stated above 10 times. I used the stock ROM and custom ROM. Am I missing some version compatibility?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
why is it failing? whats the error?? get a screenshot of it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang90:
I can't give you a screenshot at the moment because i am away for the moment but it just fails as soon as i press install. Is it right to compile 4folders in faux's kernel zip file? I have version 31 of faux's kernel zip. Or did i zip it wrong?

The funny thing is that when i flash the original faux kernel zip, it works perfectly and i can see it when it boots up (in the options software informations)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
What are you using to generate your default config HTC, FAUX? What are you using to extract the kernel image and modules, and how are you repacking? Now I'm no expert in compiling phone kernels, but I've got nearly 20 years experience building them for my PC's. What I do know is that the initrd / initramfs varies greatly from different devices and manufacturers. Some are padded to offset the kernel entry point. It's not the same as working on a PC, nor is the procedure the same between devices or device manufacturers. It's quite possible that in the process of decompressing and compressing you're loosing something required to boot as some tools arbitrarily discard pertinent info such as the kernel offset.

There is an outstanding primer at the XDA university page, as well as several guides in the main developer forum. There are also several tools made for specific manufacturers that have been developed here and also available in the main dev forum. Check these out, you'll probably be able to gleam info that we are unable to provide, or reveal where you're stumbling that you haven't been able to properly elaborate to us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
why dont you upload your kernel and modules so we can get look :P
