We have 3 major works here... So I gonna to make it seperated

-1st post is HOW TO EXTRACT kernel.img (boot.img)

-2nd post is HOW TO CONVERT PICTURE FILE to BOOT.RLE

-3rd post is HOW TO REPACK THE KERNEL PAKAGE into boot.img

Requiredment

-Window machine

-installed cygwin

-the full boot.img/kernel (some kernel won't work because there is no full pakage/ i mean we can't)

-bootimg.zip (tool for UNPACK and REPACK kernel)

-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

Thank and Credit

i- Credit to DooMLoRD Recognized Developer over most of XPERIA devices for his own tool and tutor that I learned before

ii- Credit to jimbo77 Senior Member for his tutorial that I used and learned and tool for unpack and repack

ii- Don't forget to give them a thanks meter

=============================================================================

Here we go

1-This section I will show u how to unpack and repack the boot.img

just see from original thread by jimbo77 from here and download the UNPACK and REPACK tool by him HERE

this is a fast guide from me:-

1-extract the bootimg-tools.zip into new folder (name it 'boot' folder)

2-move it into cygwin directory (cygwin/boot)

3- move your fav kernel into same directory

4-run cygwin.bat

5-Now, unpack your boot.img by running the following command:

If your output looks like this, then the extraction has worked correctly! Note that the Command Line string has also been read from the source file, this will be used later when you go to re-pack your file.

Your script folder should now look like this:

boot.img-kernel is the compiled kernel blob that was inside the source boot.img, if you want to replace the kernel with another compiled kernel image, you can replace this file with another one (but leave the file name the same)

boot.img-ramdisk.gz is the gzipped ramdisk image which has been split from the boot.img, you should leave this file alone.

The “out” folder contains the EXTRACTED ramdisk, and this is where you should make your changes to the ramdisk.

Important Note!

Remember, when editing files in the ramdisk through Windows, such as init.rc, Windows notepad will not format the files correctly, making them almost impossible to read, wheras Wordpad will LOOK like it is formatting the files correctly, if you save one of these files from the Wordpad application it will BREAK the file and it will no longer be able to be read correctly by Android. To edit these files you MUST use an editor such as Notepad++ which you can download for free.

AGAIN...

Special thanks/credit to jimbo77 for his excellent guide

So.. NEXT step to change a kernel logo is here

Requiredment

1-a picture what are u like to look into the 1st boot screen (kernel logo) (make sure it size/resolution same your device resolution)

2-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

3-some infos and knowledges here

4-window machine like i explained on 1st post

My quick guide

-extract the tool.rar

-move extracted files into new folder (name it 'rle' folder without quote)

-move into cygwin folder (to make it easy to follow my simple guide)

-copy your own logo.png (a picture u want to use on a kernel) into same rle folder

(for 4 steps above it shold look like tis)

-now launch cygwin.bat

Ah...my mistake..don't forget to move/copy/replace new logo.rle into

C/cygwin/boot/out/ramdisk/here

if you done good...follow next step on next post (to repack your moded kernel)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nelikp:
Last step before you flash a new look kernel (boot.img) is

Repack your moded kernel

One thing to note that people may mention in other guides, is that when packing boot.img files, you will usually have to declare a base address, and a command line to the packaging tool. This set of scripts reads the existing command line and base address from the boot.img file you originally provided at the time of repacking, so always make sure you leave your original source boot.img file in the folder and do not re-name it after extraction, your newly created boot.img file will be named boot_new.img and will NOT overwrite the original.

Done! If your screen looks like the image above, then you should now have a freshly created boot_new.img file, ready to be flashed to Android for testing, you can now go ahead and flash it through FASTBOOT one thing I'll recommend though is to first do

Thanks for this tutorial. But how about when the ramdisk is lzma? I tried changing commands from extractboot and packboot (from "gzip.... " to "lzma........." ) everything works well, the phone boots, but I don't have recovery mode anymore. In rest the kernel is perfect. But I need recovery mode, for installing things. I guess changing the command "gzip - or gunzip, whatever" to "lzma" is not all I have to modify. Any chance for a help?:crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yamin8000:
same problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dzol Cp:
Nice and awesome tutorial brother! :good::fingers-crossed::highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LaShto34:
Finally. I made it. For lzma ramdisks use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659584&highlight=lzma but I modified it to something like this (see attachment). All credits must go to the original developer, I only changed some "gzip -c" word to "lzma -dc". And I managed to modify any kernel with lzma compressed ramdisk. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
So all the step is the same with the one on the OP except we need to change gzip -c into lzma -dc?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LaShto34:
Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't work with this tutorial (at least for me, because I lost recovery - In rest the kernel behaves normal, but we all need cwm recovery). It only fully works (again, for me) with that modified version of android kernel kitchen 0.3.1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
Will this method work with LOCKED bootloader?

mine can't be unlocked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dzol Cp:
No it will not working because this is tutorial about to change a kerenl bootlogo (Sony Ericsson) word on startup phone..

Your phone cant be unlocked and no chance to change/flash custom kernel with custom bootlogo.

I have my GS3 I9300 for a couple months now. For the several time I tried to use it as a hotspot, it wouldn't connect to my laptop wirelessly.

It shows up on my laptop that is available, and when I connect to it, I get an error. Connecting the tether through USB works fine, I just can't seem to find out why the wifi isn't working.

Anyone have the same problem?!?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
can other devices connect to your SGS 3 ?

have you tried to manually add the network that you've created?

i would also check if it works when you set your device as an open hotspot without a password/

Did you set it to allow connection from any device. At the top of the tether configuration page you can change it.

If you enabled it but did not add your laptop to the white list then nothing will be able to connect even without passwords.

I have a Verizon Trophy that has been GSM unlocked (I use it on ATT). After a factory reset, CDMA mode is my only option. I can't even find a way to enter the unlock code again. Is there a way to re-enable GSM mode? Thanks in advance for any help
[Trophy General] michaelboothe:
nevermind. I fixed it by flashing a custom rom on it. I still don't know why it was only cdma after the factory rest.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Where you using a default Verizon factory rom? That's just plan weird. The default option should always be Global Mode unless the SIM Card wasn't seated correctly.
[Trophy General] michaelboothe:
yeah it was the original firmware. It happened after a factory reset. The option under cellular settings would not change to anything other than cdma. it possibly could have been related to the sim card. Who knows? I guess it just gave me a reason to flash a new rom.

Hello, I bough Tianji GT-I9300, android 4.1, MTK6577

I had an iphone before and I haven't ever used Android before so it's my first experience. However the interface looks pretty, it's easy to use and so on. The phone works very fast in my eyes. However the battery drain is extreme, is it because it is new? or it will stay as it is now? It drops from 100 to 80 very fast you can count it as seconds.

from about phone:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kRel:
Forgive me, but unfortunately my native language is not English ... So .. my research on this forum are very complicated.

After several attempts and with great difficulty I managed to download from droidbasemment "cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip."

At the same address I see that there is a file "cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip.md5sum" which I think is the MD5 of the ROM file of 152.52 MB.

If so, how can I verify the MD5 to make sure that the downloaded file is not corrupt?

Many thanks to those who want to answer. Hi
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuckMercury:
most recoveries will verify the file automatically if that md5sum file is in the same place as the ROM when you flash it. If you want to make sure now, just open the md5sum file in any text editor to see the correct md5 and then look at the properties of the ROM zip file and look at the calculated sum there and confirm they match.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillfever:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kRel:
Thank you for your quick response ...

The problem is that ... if I open the zip file "cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip.md5sum", inside there is nothing!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kRel:
Thank you ... this applet I also have in my computer. It integrates in "explorer" and is called "HashTab v3.0.0"

But the problem is that inside the file: cm-10-20121030-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip.md5sum nothing!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillfever:
If you have the Wifi 7510 tab that is the wrong md5, you want the p4wifi md5

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Do you have winzip or 7zip, you need a file extractor to open the md5 zip?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notfaded1:
also...

search market for md5 and you'll find a ton of apps the will calc the md5 from a file you can compare that to the hash inside the md5 file posted by pershoot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phasma343:
md5sum -c /path/to/file.md5

The *.md5 file and the file it corresponds to must be in the same directory together. This works from your device in a terminal as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kRel:
I discovered the mystery ....

Opening the file from linux (ubuntu) shows a normal text file containing the MD5!

CWM is also able to read and verify the MD5. But I have not understand how to.

Maybe you need to copy the file to your tablet also MD5??

If I choose GPS tag on in camera the device resets it to OFF status when I exit the stock camera app. What should I do to store it after leaving the app?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afflux_ashish:
If you disable the GPS settings after exiting the camera, the GPS tag setting gets reset to off in camera (as per what I have noticed). So for your GPS tag setting to persist you have to keep your GPS on. Let me know if this works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kutniy:
I tried that and can prove your words, thx. But I wished the camera to switch on the GPS when i run it in order to avoid forgetting to store the coordinates in the photo. Probably i have just get to used to it and remember to switch on manually in some weeks but i was willing even for a modification. I saw some similar settings in the file system/csc/feature.xml but don't know what lines i should add.
