[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
You guys flashed the exhilarate or whatever and it flashed ok? if so then bootloaders either arent included or are working with blaze which is awesome. If anything we can use that kernel source and build cm9 and it's varieties from source. :) I wish I had time but should be back soon.

----------------------------------------------

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
No. We discovered the Exhilarate's ICS ROM is for the most part compatible with the Blaze. Not official, but better than nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
It works radio is a little weak though and camera.is upside down.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
vivid i was on irc earlier i left you some tips on what your error could be lol

also said it was lonely on irc lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jamkul:
I can second this report. radio is a little weak rfc is upsidedown, but ffc is right side up. I am so excited to be running ICS again:D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
I know I didn't get em though.comp booted me out before I could read.em. but now I'm just.helping. dwitherell get it flashable since I.don't know what I'm doing in that part.of it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Just an fyi weve been having peoblems with hardware buttons. Updating the hardware button firmware doesnt help. Only way ive been able to get it back is wih restoring a backup . But 3 out of 5 times going into recovery causes them to stop working :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Just to let you guys know, I have a semi official ICS for this phone. But it wasn't working out so well because of the lack of an ICS kernel. Well, good news guys! Now with this find my ROM is working a lot better. But there are still many bugs to work out before I can post it for you guys. I'm going to work on it tomorrow and if all goes well, we chould be rocking a true ICS for the Blaze and we can all send Samsung a big team FAH-Q! Thanks to those who discovered it (I know I read your name, but I am really tired and can't recall atm... sorry...lol)

Some things I need to know. After I flashed this the softkeys didn't work. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, have you found a fix and what was it?

I have created an Odin flashable 1-click that flashes the ROM and includes cwm as a temporary means to gain root access, and to completely flash the entire ROM. Unfortunately, I had to remove the modems for now. I'm going to work on deodexing/majorly debloating the stock version. I'm also going to add su to the kernel as well as some Lightning Zap awesomeness (directly into the kernel).

Once I get the sources built, we will have a good solid base to begin building CM9, AOSP and AOKP ROMs and bring this device up to par with teh rest of them... But for now ladies and gentleman, Goodnight!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Lol just posted about the hardware buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
I saw that...lol Oh well, I'm going to find a fix for it... I'm thinking kernel issues... I'm downloading the source so I can merge the kernels and ROMs to get it working right...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Good luck man!!!! This beyond my capabilities.lol. I just want to try my hand st some ports first. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] afoster1003:
GJ guys get it done. ;) Not my ballpark .. ( almost had a heart attack flashing the ics update not knowing what would come of it . ha but its looking to be worth it
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
It was WAY worth it my friend. You have stumbled upon what we all have been waiting/working towards since we bought the phone. MUCH appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
We had an issue on the exhilarate with the touchkeys prior to the ICS update. Every time i would boot CWM (Blaze version) i would have to update the touchkey fw, but for some reason that no longer happens with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Do you have the zip or process you used to update it? It can prolly speed things up for thomas.raines

*#*#2663#*#* in dialer click the bottom button. Didnt work for me thoigh had to restore an ics back up i had made. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
While I had already gone back to gingerbread - the dialer bit worked for me after a reboot :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
I guess that's only for touch screen or touch keys. Sorry about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
So, let me get these instructions straight... flash the update tar (but not the pit) through odin, reflash CWM through odin, and root through CWM?

If not, can we get a step by step?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Yes but careful as hardware buttons will quit working the dialcode will fix it after a reboot sometimes. And the radio is pretty weak
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
rofl so, funny thing happened... i downloaded the i577 system tar. flashed it via odin, rebooted, got the AT&T boot screen and thought "Ha! Win!" booted up, got to the AT&T setup screen, blah blah blah, soft keys didn't work, did the FW update, and they worked thought to myself "woot" went to system properties andddddd..... fail. still running gingerbread. all my apps still installed. all my call logs, texts, etc

guessing I downloaded the wrong thing to flash. anybody mind posting a link to what they're flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
If you got the at@t screen then you had the right thing. Idk y you'd still show gingerbread though. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
I577system.tar is stock Exhilarate GB system.img and boot.img

I'd be curious to see if the stock Blaze radio files would be compatible and maybe work better.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
The s2 radio worked and gave a little better strength lol didn't try the blaze radio files before I went back to tweaked
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
Not sure if they'd be compatible with ics but probably worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe I have found the root of the soft key failure. It's because we are flashing the recovery.img for the i577, as well as the Odin failure which is caused by attempting to flashing the wrong modems. When you download the .tar file, open it with 7zip and remove recovery.img, mdm.bin and amss.bin. Then if you look at the entire file name of the tar it actually ends with md5. Right click and select rename then delete the .md5 and make sure it says .tar for the file extension. Windows will ask if you are sure... yes you are. Then you can flash it from there with no problems. I haven't fully confirmed if this avoids the soft key bork, but after 10 flashes and 50 reboots to recovery my soft keys haven't screwed up. Also, if you flash this with this method, you will boot into recovery and receive some errors. Simply perform a factory data reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot and enjoy.

With the permissions of the finders of this, I would like to create a simple Odin 1 click and post it in the dev section. Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
is that the good link?

where is everybody downloading this from?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
Unless it has gotten cut off due to traffic, that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Odin immediately crashes when you do that :eek:

that is, if you extract, delete the files, re-tar

if you just try to delete from the *.tar or *.tar.md5, it says "Error Deleting File or Folder - Not Implemented"

this is running from windows 8, so idk if win7/win vista/ win xp/ linux users get the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
I can't wait till this is made into a flashable ROM. You guys are awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
shouldn't be too long as dwitherell(sorry if i mispelled) is on it along with thomas and others helping out the cause :P

i'm slowly downloading kernel source to get y'all a ics cm9 kernel :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
well, flashing with the regular one did me all right. didn't even have to do the softkey firmware update. woot :P forgot that I would lose root/cwm :P so flashing that now
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
well, I can tell you that a carefully crafted defconfig based on the blaze's defconfig doesn't produce a working kernel... will experiment more in the morning. Curious to see what the I577 definition does different than the T769 one :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
ok, so the only thing I cant do right now is flash superuser from CWM.... may be a bad link... gotta find it again tomorrow....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
If the stock odin tar boots, doesn't that mean you just apply whatever defconfig is in the kernel readme and compile? Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I changed a few of the hardware CONFIG_ lines to match what is defined as "our" hardware in the T769 defconfig from the GB sources. for the most part it is basically all the same. I changed the config define of I577 for T769, enabled TZCOM (since we our original config doesn't use the QSEECOM), that sorta thing.

I imagine there are separate sources for I577 from T769 for a reason, and I figured defining our hardware would make more sense towards getting things working properly for a full CM9/CM10 build.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Did you use 7z? If so, I wouldn't think it was an OS thing as more of maybe a bad download possibly. Not to worry. I am on the case. I have an Odin 1-click that is in the testing process as we speak. Check in the dev section in a bit for it along with instructions and details...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] j3r3goss:
I'm not sure why but every time I've tried to tar in windows (7z) it fails in Odin and I end up booting into Linux to tar.

Hey guys,

How is this running?

First impressions?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Funny enough it runs great. Only real issue so far I've noticed is the upside down rear camera which is nothing. Calls, text, data... it all works. Need to flash superuser with it for root so you can debloat it though. CWM now also takes like 30 seconds or so to boot, but it does so reliably. Also, google now works using this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 (make sure and read the third post :))
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
When i did this last night i lost cwm and root. Got cwm back. Do you just Odin the rooted kernel like normal or is there a cwm flashable package?

Found the correct superuser, flashed brilliantly. As soon as I can back up my sd card to my PC, I'll test the one click flash and factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chrisxbell714:
Nice

Backed-up darknight 8, wipe all data and caches ect...

Used the ICS 1-click, installed perfectly, rebooted to cwm, flashed superuser that was posted by 2vivid

Everything went flawlessly and everything seems to be good execpt the obvious upside down camera and both data and wifi are pretty weak like probably around half the signal i had before but i can deal with it

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shaikmonster:
Is video upside down as well? Pretty easy to flip a picture... Not as easy to flip a video.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jamkul:
Yes since the rfc is flipped so is video. Ffc is not

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
kernel rebuild success....

So it seems I may have narrowed down my problem with kernel builds of yore. But it leads me to a question:

Can people test the Exhilarate ICS rom on their Blaze's and verify that the light sensors work as expected? I am referring to auto-brightness levels, as well as potentially flash detection. I know the rear cam is a bit of a known issue for now, but I'm curious to know if it handles lighting detection well (or at all).

Tech Note(s)

:

It seems that gremlin that was causing my ICS kernel builds to crash for the last few months was the GP2A driver. This is a light sensor driver. It appears that our phone(s) have 2 light sensors, one driven by the TAOS driver, the other by the GP2A driver. I don't know why we have two or what they do, but if I had to hazard a guess, one has to do with light levels for the automatic brightness control, and the other has to do with lighting detection for the flash on the camera.

The TAOS driver seems to include proximity detectors as well, so I'm guessing that it's the one that handles brightness and is located on the front of the phone. That would mean that the GP2A driver handles the flash.

The exhilarate kernel doesn't have the GP2A driver built in. The T769 stock GB kernel has the driver built in, and it seems to definitely have the hardware because there's a debug message in the dmesg output that reports getting back a firmware revision for it (scan dmesg output for "[LIGHT]").
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ChefAnt:
How about when you guys get a custom ROM running for the blaze, help out us i577 guys too! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I won't be able to check the camera auto-flash stuff until later today/tonight, but I know auto-brightness was working at least in some capacity. I noticed screen brightness changing at least, but since I'm not a fan of auto-brightness, the noticed changes just led me to turning it off lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
There's no reason you guys can't get CM9/10 on your devices... you actually have kernel sources :)

If I get the kernel kinks worked into the common msm8660 cm kernel git repo, it'll definitely make things easier for you. If I get some CM10 goodness going for the blaze, I can try and extend that to the exhilarate too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chrisxbell714:
i installed the flashable zip by dwitherell and im a little wild i ignored the warning and just wiped caches and installed from previous ics, android booted up saying upgrading and upgraded all the apps and such, everything seems fine no force closes no random restarts, but...there is something weird going on with the cpu frequencies and cores, it seems like it stays in single core mode and gets stuck like that for a while, also i cant set any frequency inbetween 1026 and 1512 it just automatically resets to 1512, is that because its the exhilarates kernel? ive notices this on both the ics roms.

Hi all,

I flashed Sabsa Prime v6.0 ROM today.So after flashing that and keeping it for a while i restored my apps from recovery manager.But after that i am getting constant error saying "Unfortunately,Phone has stopped."

Can i know what i am doing wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Reflash the rom. the restore should be (in titanium backup) restore missing apps with data. If you replace data in a different rom you might mess the behavior. Reflash the rom with no full wipe (just cache).
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
Yes,thanks for your reply.may be i confused myself following this advice
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
That will mess the rom everytime unless is the same rom. Restoring data from one rom to other rom will definitely not work.

Hello Everyone,

I'm fairly new to rooting phones and ROMs so if this question dosn't make sense please destroy my inner child I have a rooted sgs3 using odin and factory verizon build but the problem I am having is with ClockwordMod I think. The samsung update restarts the phone but ClockworkMod starts up right away and won't let the update go through. Is there a setting I need to change to allow all updates to bypass ClockworkMod or is there another way for me to get the update?

Any help is much appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maniac2k:
Sounds to me like cwm just saved you from an auto ota update.

I use twrp so i dont know the answer to your question but if you're rooted, why would you want an ota?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ndjustin20:
Update

Hello and thank you for the reply. I'm not sure that I need/want it though it continues to ask me to update so it's either keep saying defer or just let it update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maniac2k:
Of you download and flash one of the latest and greatest roms, you wont get asked to update. There is a way you can stop the ota but i dont remember off the top of my head. Im sure google knows. I would just flash a newer rom that includes the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ndjustin20:
hmmmm

What would you say is the latest and greatest ROM and can I use odin to flash it? Also, if I flash a new ROM I lose everything that is on my phone right??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Well I have beans 12 and woke up and my phone also was booted into recovery and stopped the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
It is going to keep rebooting into CWM if you don't tell it to until you tell it to stop rebooting to recovery, which is an option in the menu system after flashing. If the OTA update installation is being intercepted by CWM's presence on your phone, then I'm not sure if there is a way around it other than flashing a ROM. Someone with more experience will have to chime in.

With that said, should you choose to install a new ROM, there are a plethora of ROM options on XDA, at least some of which have OTA updates disabled. See the following link for a guide (I'm assuming you are on Verizon):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32079760#post32079760

You can flash the stock, rooted ROM back on with ODIN, and then download EZ-Recovery (which has CWM) and load a custom ROM that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maniac2k:
I use aokp but jellywiz is a nice stock like rom. Just download a rom and flash in cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
If you want the update you should flash back to stock and restore the stock recovery. You can reroot and unlock the boot loader after you update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chickenmon:
Im having same issue. Verizion trying to force my phone to have less features. I was able to ignore it 2 weeks ago but now it keeps trying to force the update and I can keep delaying it. Any good tools you all know of to just block ota updates all together? Pretty happy with stock rom as is no need to fix it minus the copy and paste bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
You can use Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0 and the update will quit downloading. I'm not sure if freezing apps is supported in the free version but the paid version is well worth it of you plan on switching ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
You could also flash Scotts stock rooted Rom with the latest update, then your phone status will say up to date. I flashed the zip right on my phone through cwm but I'm sure you can use Odin too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voigts:
I was in the exact same situation as you. The phone will not update with Clockwork Recovery installed. I simply flashed back to the stock ROM via ODIN (stock.vzw_root66 which a quick search should locate), accepted the OTA update, and then used the beginner's guide in the Android Development forum to get back root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teleblaster:
I use Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0. Like JBO1018 wrote, the PRO version is well worth the price, if only to freeze bloatware. Everything else it offers is gravy.

Because we have a new kernel, those apps don't work...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Yeah we got our speed jacked, sucks. Kind of hoping they release an update that has the 1.5 Ghz and 1.6 Ghz speed steppings back so we can OC using something like EZOverclock again. It was nice to have that little extra juice when needed.

If you have problems with reboot loop because of enabling overclock and you have rootkeeper installed then quickly start rootkeeper when the tablet boots and choose unroot and then you can uninstall the overclock. Worked for me
