Instead of taking the risk of flashing knight elf just hotboot it using fastboot! Type the command fastboot boot boot.img( the kernel name!)

Fastboot reboot

The kernel will be booted just once, so directly open the recovery n flash the rom !

P.s. I am not sure if ice cream Pureness can be flashed from gb! I think u first need to upgrade to stock ics....

First at all, if you unlock your bootloader you should know what you are doing. Unlocking bootloader is not like rooting, rooting can be easily undone, unlocking the bootloader not.

There is something you should know regarding to phones and computers: If you don't know what you are doing then DON'T DO IT.

There are plenty of topics about rooting and installing custom ROMs just read.

According to the pureness rom thread it even works on locked bootloaders.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunangirash:
My bootloader is unlocked

my bootloader is unlocked what to do to go to bootloader recovery mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Turn off phone.

Hold menu key

insert usb cable

You should see blue LED on the side of the phone

You now have fastboot access via cmd window in PC

Run this

fastboot devices

to check your device is connected
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunangirash:
no no you got ut wrong bro i dont have pc but i want to open simple recovery mode and i have galaxy y and i can easily open recivery by pressing home nd volume keys but i dont how to open it neo v
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
No,

I answered your question correctly,

It appears you asked the wrong question!

If you want to get into recovery mode you keep pressing the back key (Or if that doesnt work the volume down key, or if that doesnt work keep pressing the screen) when you see the sony logo after turning the phone on.

Of course you must have installed a RECOVERY to do this.

Rooting is not the same as unlocking bootloader.

You mean recovery mode and you probably mean you have rooted your phone and NOT that you have unlocked the bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunangirash:
bro i have rooted my phone and unlocked too i want to ask you which button us to pressed to get factory recovery because i wabt to install your icecream pureness rom but i dont know how to do it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
There is no factory recovery, you have to install it yourself.

Goto the sticky threads in the dev section and start to read,

First, download flashtool, found in the first sticky thread in the dev section.

Second, Install recovery via flashtool or by flashing a custom kernel (Which you can do if you have unlocked your bootloader and can get into fastboot mode)

Third, install pureness via recovery.

PS, if you have NEO V you dont need a custom kernel for pureness so you can install recovery via flashtool and then the rom, but if you have NEO then you need the alliance kernel which requires unlocked bootloader, fastboot and a PC
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunangirash:
is overclocking works in iccream pureness
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Switch off your phone , press the power button and keep pressing the volume down button when you see Sony Ericsson for the first time until you see CWM(not the logo/boot animation , the SONY ERICSSON screen which appears first) task COMPLETE
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Yes, but you need a custom kernel for that, and that means unlocked bootloader and fastboot and PC

ffs, read a sticky thread
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] darcpyro:
I have been trying for the past few days to compile my own kernel for the GS3 (without any modifications just to prove it works) and have finally succeeded in both compiling and flashing to my phone.

The whole reason i attempted this was i was aiming to get the phone to act as a HID keyboard so that it could be used for text entry on a PC.

Anyway, after successfully compiling the kernel i ran make menuconfig and started looking threw the options. When i found

Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Gadget Support -> USB Gadget Drivers (HID Gadget)

I got my hopes up that the device may support this right away, but after enabling this and attempting to compile the kernel i received the following error :

arch/arm/mach-exynos/built-in.o: In function `midas_machine_init':
<PATH_REMOVED>/GS3/Kernel/arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-midas.c:2756: undefined reference to `s3c_device_android_usb'

I have attempted to research this but can find no one that has experienced this error (just searching for s3c_device_android_usb with just about any other key words returns 0 results on google).

So my question to you is firstly, does HID Gadget do what is expect or is it a wast of time straight away (if so can you suggest which USB driver to compile with to allow HID functionality or if that is not available, the best one to be able to expand and add the functionality). Second if this is the correct driver then any help with the above error would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for you time

Adrian
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] darcpyro:
Sort of solved

After a lot of mucking around i found that if i set the kernel config file to build the gadget HID driver as a module then ran make modules it worked.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dud3me:
Hi!

So I was thinking of getting this phone or the Galaxy nexus. I was wondering if I should still get the gs2 or wait a while for the galaxy nexus price to drop to the same numbers.

GS2 costs 350€ and nexus is 450€ so that makes the galaxy s2 more appealing. Also the nexus might have screen that's a little too big already, but the concern with gs2 is the resolution, were it qHd I would have already gotten it!

Anyway i wouldn't want to spent more than 375€ on the phone, 350€ would be best. And if you have ordered from ebay etc. I'd also like to now about that since could probably get them cheaper from there. Are the phones in ebay UK international versions that work here in Finland too?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: So everyone tell me why I should get galaxy s2 instead of galaxy nexus since you can probably best answer this question! ;)

*Galaxy SII (GT I9100) over Galaxy Nexus*

-Better camera performance, still imaging and video

-Better Raw processing power. Galaxy SII blew galaxy nexus or of water in every benchmark possible, after ICS upgrade

-Better graphic performance

-RGB screen vs Pentile

-Expandable storage. Galaxy nexus doesn't have SD card slot and 32g version is not common

-Better battery performance

-I love my home button

-Excellent developer support. This compensates for lack of on-time updates as compared to nexus e.g I'm presently running a very stable jellybean ROM on my galaxy SII just like galaxy nexus thanks to developers

-very compact size, thus easier to handle

-cheaper outside US

***Galaxy Nexus over Galaxy SII***

-720p HD screen resolution

-extremely fast updates/upgrades

-Larger screen (4.65 vs 4.3)

-cheaper in US

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomsDear:
In my opinion, u should go for GS2 coz its just awesome....

Em lovin it..♥...:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dud3me:
All right thanks a lot! The camera isn't that important for me so don't really consider that as a plus. I prefer 4.3 over the larger display though but the resolution is making me uncertain. Is it large enough? I have a htc wildfire now so any phone will be a huge improvement :D

And even though i trust Di Matteo's opinion, I'd still like to hear what other people think. If a Milan fan agrees with this I'm sold! ;)

i just got my s2 had it for a week and its amazing just wish the screen didnt drain so much battery have to have it turned down if you want you phone to last a long time.

i also have the same rom that comes with the nexus on my s2 its awsome and fast
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dud3me:
Okay thanks for your opinions! Thinking of getting it tomorrow if the stores are open! Though I should probably ask this same question at Galaxy Nexus forums since you guys might be a bit biased :D

Coz me too never had Nexus.

And don't forget to post here what u concluded...

I hope u'll decide to buy S2 finally:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alarmmy:
You will be amazed by S2 screen. Nexus with 720p looks like a joke when you compare it to S2. S2 has super amoled plus even though the resolution is just 480x800, it still blows the Nexus 720p screen away!

Hi all !

I'm trying to release a custom kernel for the P6810 7.7 samsung tab with bootanimation support. I managed so far to enable init.d scripts support, undervolting and governor's stuff which is a good start.

However, I don't get why the bootanimation method is not working. I tried to take bootanimation.zip from cm9, cm10 (from Locerra which work with his kernel) and others. All I have is a black screen.

This is what I did (I took this from the eZnow) :

I copied bootanimation and samsungani from the cm10 bin folder to mine : I tried with stock files and theses one but none of them worked.

I added this to the init.rc :

service samsungani /vendor/scripts/bootanimation.sh
class main
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

and this is the bootanimation.sh :

#!/sbin/sh
if [ -f /system/media/bootanimation.zip ]; then
/system/bin/bootanimation
else
/system/bin/samsungani
fi;

Permissions' files have been checked and are 755 for all of them.

What am i missing ? Should I enable some option(s) in the kernel's configuration ?

Thanks for your answers !

So you're flashed to Vodafone service? Try this:

1. ##3282#

2. Choose Edit.

3. Enter MSL

4. Choose "Others"

5. Choose "Multimedia"

6. Change both RTSP and HTTPPD proxies to "0.0.0.0"

7. Change both RTSP and HTTPPD ports to "0"

8. Back out to home screen and restart phone

9. Try it now :)

I'm not sure if this works on the GT-I9300 version. I am using Sprint's L710 version. I am flashed to a different carrier and this is how I got my streaming to work. I think it should be the same. If not, I'd look around to see how to access the DATA programmIng menu and start there.

What do you mean by flashed to Vodafone? My network provida is Vodafone and that's who I'm using

Also gte ##3382# doesn't work, says unknown command
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
So your device says Vodafone on it or is it flashed/unlocked for use on Vodafone's network? It's ##3282# not ##3382#. If that doesn't work then it's different on the i9300 variant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbubba999:
The device was bought direct from Vodafone, but has no Vodafone branding on it at all.

A little bit more digging and it may be down to my Voadafone APN, but I can't edit it as its greyed out in the settings for some reason. Adding a new one with the same settings doesn't seem to work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
I've been trying to do some research to help. Here are a few different things I have found out that you might want to try:

1. Are you able to access your APN settings? If you are able to access your APN settings, make sure you are using the one that says "live.vodafone.com" if it exists. Also, if it gives you an edit option, make sure the username and password are blank.

2. There might be a so-called "universal age restriction" on your account. If so, according to Vodafone, age restrictions are available as a setting that blocks any kind of streaming (probably for porn reasons lol) Maybe access your account online or give the company a call to see if you can remove this.

3. Also read somewhere that Vodafone has a service you have to pay for called "Vodafone Live!" so they are blocking regular streaming access to encourage users to sign up for this service.
