I decided to try my hand at making a rom, but honestly am not sure i know what I'm doing lol. I would like someone who does know to take a look at it (?) and maybe offer a pointer or two? I haven't done anything special to it, it's stock based, no real add ons except I attempted to add some tweaks (kobridges) and a recovery (which I also got from kobridges thread) I don't dare flash it without someone seeing if I didn't totally bork it lol.

Thanks :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I might be brave and test it on e4gt with cracked screen and broke no charge port
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Just stop there... if you don't dare flashing something that you have created, I don't think anyone else should risk their device for you. As long as you didn't make any major changes, it should be fine... but just seeing your lack of confidence, I would not flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You misunderstood me, I don't want anyone else to flash it, just look at the build prop and tell me if I did everything right.

I'm in a 12 step program for Flashaholics, I relapsed...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
The build.prop shouldn't really change if it's stock based. Maybe a few minor tweaks, but those shouldn't affect whether it boots or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Thank you, like I said I just needed someone to help me figure out if I made something workable :beer:

I'll flash it now and post results :thumbup:

Ok, and it opens package and aborts install, so I screwed something up. Any idea where to start? Sorry I really don't know much about this :banghead:

Maybe the recovery is in the wrong place?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
You don't need to do that. Just use a custom kernel like rujelus' which has a safe custom recovery and delete that file. You'll have to edit the updater script to do it though.

It'll be like this:

ui_print("Flashing Kernel");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");
package_extract_file("zImage", "/tmp/zImage");
write_raw_image("/tmp/zImage", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");
write_raw_image("/tmp/zImage", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");
delete("/tmp/zImage");

And then place the kernel zImage in the root of the zip.

Also, the aborted install is most likely from your updater script.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
ok, I've modified the updater script and replaced the zimage, but still aborting the install.

I've no idea whats causing the install to fail. Obviously I'm not a coder lol so this is all kind of alien to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
What's the error it gives when trying to flash it? Also the format of mmcblk0p5 and 6 are unneeded. And will probably break lots of things if you do by chance get them formatted because they have no filesystem.

If I use twrp to "wipe" my memory cards is it a true reformat or just erase existing files. I can see no reference to reformatting within the JB rom..just erasing.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nour826:
Currently I am stock rooted UAE ROM.

As I am willing to flash the French stock rom in order to have the split screen features which are not available in my current rom, the only major loss for me will be to lose the Arabic support in Samsung stock keyboard.

In similar experiences with Galaxies, I used to depend on SwiftK keyboard for Arabic language typing support. But with the new Note, I need also to use the strong advanced handwriting recognition features available only in Sam keyboard & using Spen! Seems confusing! :)

Ok simply my question is:

Is there anyway to get back only the Arabic language in Sam Keyboard after flashing the French ROM? I am already rooted so I thought there might be anyway through Titanium Backup forexample!

Appriciate any useful ideas!

Thank you,

Have tried flashing via recovery with no luck I end up getting stuck on white htc screen then tried through ROM manager and no luck I got the 7.2 release from cm website not sure what went wrong I'm rooted on android 2.3.4 and was not on any other ROM before trying this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jamminjon82:
Might be better off with goo manager and installing twrp. Also when you have an issue, give as much detail so people can be more helpful
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Well okay what more detail needed ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Trying Goo manager although when I try to load twrp it forces close, someone help me I want to ROM this up. I'm rooted and have clockwork but have no luck flashing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
Check the md5 sum and see if it matches up, or if ur lazy re-download the rom, just make sure its for incredible 2. It could be a bad download. Also I believe you have to flash the kernel after the rom as well

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Okay some help here I know it was right ROM, how do I get right kernal ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
Roms have the kernel included no reason to flash different kernel unless you are wanting to change clock settings or voltages or fix problems such as volumes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Thank you, okay so can anyone link me with a ROM reliable one ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
When i go into recovery my screen says revolutionary but it is clockwork mod, anyone know what I'm talking about would this affect flashing ?.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
ClockworkMod is the recovery I started out with, it should work just fine and will not affect flashing a ROM. After a few weeks I switched over to 4ext recovery. But I would get a little more familiar before jumping around to much. Have you successfully flashed a custom rom yet? One other thing you may check is the radio version, I recommend upgrading to the .312 or .320 radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Not on this phone done rooting on nook color and my first Android so I need to flash a radio and a ROM ?

I haven't seen this answered (or I'm blind)...Are you S-Off, or HTC Unlocked?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
I am s off :) help me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Okay sorry correction I am only unlocked do I need to s off ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Now everything makes more sense...The preferred method for flashing roms here is s-off. It can be done without. I believe the method involves extracting the boot.img from a rom then after flashing the rom, flash the boot.img with fast boot. I haven't done it, so I can't give you better details on that, however it is covered at length in many of the rom threads, so I think a search for "boot.img" should get you on your way quickly. You'll probably want to search with the desktop version of xda.

Edit: However, I think the consensus is that getting s-off isn't terribly hard and saves a lot of headache down the road, so I would recommend that. Again, there are threads with all the info you need.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Thank you, looked at s off method and going to try that tonight then I should be churning through Roms :) thank you !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
No problem. I do have one more suggestion. When you are s-off and comfortable with things, find the twrp thread in development. It's my opinion, and I can't say I've tried all the options, but twrp is way easier to use than the normal CWM. There are other options you could consider; 4ext and CWM touch. It's all about the research around here.

Hello I have Galaxy S2

I have rooted it & been using it perfectly for about a year.

Now suddenly out of nowhere it just starts rebooting by itself, I don't know what the problem is.

I m not able to use any application

Nor m I able to boot into recovery

Nor I m able to shut it down

It just stays awake for about 10 secs & then reboots

I had to pull of the battery, when I insert the battery & push the power button it once again starts rebooting itself.

Pls help me

Ok

-So I had root until manual update to 4.1

-Used OTA Root Keeper + Busybox which worked about as well as Catholic Birth Control

-Checked Kernel / still 3.1.10 #1android @uranus

So I have partial root.

-THE PROBLEM-

I'm on my frigging honeymoon....(!!!!), with zero access to another pc I trust. I dont want to plug our tablet into a strange computer...

Is there ANY way to regain full root from onboard the tablet only, without unlocking and voiding the warranty?

Nope, without a PC you are doom for now. But once you're home, you can downgrade to .30, use PC to reroot, install superSU,voodoo OTA root keeper to keep root, OTA upgradeto JB, then restore root using OTA root keeper.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] hd2Raz:
I received my new Reiko Wireless hybrid case/holster combo. This is a massive but very solid case. I actually like it. I was never a fan of giant cases like Otterbox but found this one on amazon for 10 bucks so decided to give it a shot. It is a three piece case, consisting of a silicon case, belt holster with swivel clip and kickstand, and a hard snap on shell that goes over the silicon case. Like I said it is very solid and appears to be built well. I needed a belt clip as carrying this big phone in my pocket is sometimes annoying. But at the same time I wanted something solid that would offer some protection should the inevitable drop happen. So far I am pleased with this case, and for the price you really can't ask for more.

Only complaints so far: Pen a bit hard to take out, no access to charge port or headphone jack when it is in the holster.

Photos attached.
