this should answer all of the beginners questions to kernels: http://www.vikitech.com/8239/beginners-guide-android-kernels
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
Wow, that explains it perfectly. Thanks a lot for posting this. ROM and Kernel installation advice always includes storing to the sd card. This is a bit confusing for me as the internal card and external card are obviously different (which I understand) however, I am assuming it means the internal card is where it needs to installed otherwise when the media is removed the kernel or Rom goes with it. Is this the correct assumption?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
What should I be considering when I change. Kernels? Deodexed or not, or does it matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] weaselp1:
You are correct on that assumption! Glad you are learning! We all learned the "android way" at some point...feel free to pm me with any questions....I am switching from my HTC evo to a sg3 next week so I'm going to learn how to use Odin and the Samsung way of doing things

Nice job - looks awesome.

I wonder, would it be possible to get it at 100% size? At the moment the screen seems to be about 1280x800px, but it would be great to be able to take a screenshot from the real Nexus 10 and be able to drop it in at 100% (i.e. 2560x1600px).
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ATMOSF3AR:
Soon maybe ;)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] momulah:
How dows this work? Do I just load in Photoshop and add backgrounds/icons to see how a final theme would look?
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ATMOSF3AR:
This works in such a way that you can insert your screenshots within the phone or you can display your own app's screenshots. It looks pretty decent.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
I am planing on buying the droid incredible soon but the only problem i see is root i came before different possibilities on how to root the device and now i see the test device is dead thanks to hurricane sandy i came across this solution to root is someone brave enough to try it?

Requirements

Usb debugging on

Intructions

Decompres the whole attached zip and run the root.bat inside it and also be advised the script will make reboot your phone

Explanation

This is how the one x users got perm root so since they achieved temp root by the local.prop hack(our temp root) why not try it since it is the same thing but modified to stick after reboot!!!

Ps I think the bootloader should show tampered as with temp root

Disclaimer as usual im not responsible for anything but i may help

Ps i named zip mygift because this would try to be my first gift for this forum

Extra Ps if someone could upload me the vold.fstab file in system/etc i can make flashable zip for you to swap sdcards meaning microsd mounted as /sdcard and the 8gb internals of this phone as /sdcard2

Edit: im uploading a second zip trying to get the perm root we need anyone wanting to help try please report back

the instructions are the same
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Sdcard swap mod

Reserved if permanent root achieved to post the sdcard swap mod mentioned above

Edit: andybones sent me the required file so as i promised ill attach the flashable zip as soon as i finish editing it, ill attach it here

Edit: now attached for anyone lucky enough to have his/her bootloader unlocked
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
So... what do you need?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Only a tester all you have to do is enable usb debugging in settings download and extract the zip attached and run the root.bat file inside
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Okay I'll try in the am in guessing there's a risk?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
The same as on the temp root guide as far as i know i read the script many times and i dont see much risk it only modifys the data partition and pushes the superuser app to system\app and also system\xbin and if im not wrong they are the same on our temp root method so dont worry

Ps thanks for being my tester as i dont own the device if something goes wrong(i dont think so,very difficult) flash the ruu
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Rgr thanks bud

restoring first backup...

please authorize the backup on your phone, and

press enter when backup restore has been completed

on my phone the screen says "a full restore of all data from a connected desktop computer has been requested do you want to allow this to happen? if you didnt request the restore yourself blah blah blah this will replace any data on your phone

please enter device encryption password

if restore data is encrypted please enter password"

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

i dont think i have a backup, or can you make backups with stock recovery?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
it means everything is going according to the pan it is your decision to pres yes or no i think it would wipe the data partition(possibly not because htc dev does that part) and get us supercid , with supercid we can htcdev unlock again

Only continue if you want, all htc one x users did the same
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
I've already temprooted, and bootloader says tampered. I will try this too.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Ok now that you see that dont do anything as i think your data would be wiped im gonna investigate if you can make backups that way and remember you contacts and info are on your google account
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
You should only need a fake backup that's basically just the default background. I would recommend you make a real backup first though (adb backup -all).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
You should do what captainrewind says hes correct
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Linch89 you should make the backup and thencopy the files in a separate folder in case the new backup replaces the fake we are trying to get in
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
okay. in order to adb backup all i need sdk installed correct

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] davidetkin511:
So, what exactly is this? This is a working way to get perm root? Has anybody had any success with this? Has anybody been unsuccessful?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
I'm working on sdk now, setting it all up and such. Guess I should've had all my ducks in a line before i started messing with this. After the SDK is set in going to make a back up and then run the script BC it seems a backup is necessary

This thread just confused me a little because on the first post there are files to download but it doesn't really explain what they do. And there is no mention in the thread of weather it works or not. I was just asking what exactly it is? Is it perm root?

Thanks again

[General Questions and Answers] Xenux92:
Okay I'm a newbie, I'm using a Rooted WFS with Rom WildChild 3. (most stable)

I managed to install A2SD and have 1GB internal memory now.

Everything was fine when I started getting the message ' package file invalid ' every time I updated or installed apps, (market/non market.)

Now somehow I realized it's got something to do with Dalvik cache so I cleaned it in recovery but it didn't really help except YouTube getting updated and I still got the same message.

Now the question is, is there any way I can move my cache partition to SD because after I un- installed 10-12 apps it works fine. Plus what's the use of having 1gigs without using it and seeing the delvik cache full after 220mb . Please help geniuses!!!! :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevourDarkness:
com.google.gapps kept crashing so I decided to flash rayman's CM10 v6 rom over b5. Now I'm stuck on the CM10 logo. Cold boot doesn't work, Apx to cold boot doesn't work, and I can get back to recovery but flashing the rom again and/or wiping cache, wiping davlik and factory reset still didn't work.

EasyRecovery appeared to work at first but then at the stage where my device is supposed to reboot it started throwing me a 'device not found' error and it of course continued to be stuck in the bootloop.

What should I do?

EDlT:Easyflasher worked, but I lost all my data
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandroaw:
Apparently the same issue

Well, apparently I'm having the same problem as Devour, I have the Team Rogue Recovery installed into my device and tried to install many different OS but always results into being stuck in the OS boot. I also wiped everything, cold boot but always end up with the OS boot stucked.

Does anyone can help?

Did you fastboot flash the boot.IMG that was included in the .zip of the rom?

I'm not sure. I flashed it from the htc vivid aio kit by hasoon2000 while my phone was in hboot. Sorry if that doesn't help :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lolwutwin:
honestly dude s off ;p. Its alot easier to flash roms and everything ;p. I was pretty scared to do it at first as its my first time having to s off any phone but it wasnt too bad.

also u should probly start from scratch with the ics ph39img as it seems something in your rom has gotten jacked up.

It's not a ROM though, it's a recovery D:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] boomvausstat:
s on and i had a feeling that's what i had to do :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
S-Off isn't necessary. If you flashed WCX ROM without flashing the boot.img in fastboot USB mode, that's why your wifi isn't working. If you flashed WCX recovery, you can fastboot flash a different recovery (again, from fastboot USB), but it shouldn't be necessary.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Or you can get flashimggui from the themes and apps thread and install whatever recovery you want over...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambooze:
Hey,

My Captivate will not boot and goes directly to CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5.

I was on one of the early november CM10 nightlies.

Once there I can see the following from adb:

boot.txt:

recovery.log

(Note: I think recovery says CM10 20121109 as that is the version i attempted to flash from external sd card today. This issue occured Wednesday night.)

I'm not sure how this happened.

I had just finished a call maybe 10-15 mins before picking up my phone to see it in Recovery. Thought it was weird so rebooted. But again rebooted into Recovery.

I did not have an external sd card before this, but just purchased one to see if it would even recognize an SD card.

New external sd card registers as /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 aka /sdcard.

Internal Storage is no where to be found, which seems to mean /data and /system are missing.

There does not appear to be an /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (what is mapped to /external_sd)

When I load a new CM10 nightly on the external card, I can choose the update from "sd card", but the update fails.

Is there anything I can do to recover the internal storage and/or restore my captivate(even it it means losing my files)? Is this maybe a physical issue with the internal storage?

Any help is appreciated. I can also provide more info if it is needed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donclary:
You did not mention that you had a nandroid backup. Given that there isn't one, my suggestion is to find one of the rooted KK4 Odin or Hiemdall packages (without bootloaders) and follow the instructions to get back to GB. You will lose all of your data going back to GB. After your phone has booted GB, reboot into recovery and reflash CM10.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambooze:
I believe I have an older nandroid backup from August.

It's about 163MB in size. It's marked ICS, so I assume it's a CM9 backup.

Will look to see if I have a newer backup(I believe I have one circa early October, before a partition change in CM10).

If that fails, will try a rooted kk4 odin without bootloaders.

Can anything be salvaged (before i do the above) if I still have access to /datadata over adb?

I'll try to make copies of the "mtdblockX".

edit:

Anyone in the same boat as me following along in the future:

KK4 Odin/Heimdall with and without bootloaders

edi2:

Attempted to restore nandroid backup from August. Complained about "error while formatting /system" and "Failed to format /dev/lvpool/system: No such file or directory" and "Error mounting /system".

So will now try KK4, though idk if i will have any luck. This all seems to be writing on the external sd card rather than internal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambooze:
I think my captivate is a total brick now.

My attempted to restore from my August nandroid now has it running cwm-based recovery 6.0.1.1.

I attempted to get into download mode, and now it's stuck in a boot loop. It tries to boot recovery and fails(giving a very quick android on the floor with warning sign out of chest before rebooting, so quick hard to read text).

If I pull my external sd, then it says "waiting for sd".

Edit:

For some reason holding the three buttons allows recovery to successfully go to recovery.

Ok now the mounts all all messed up. /system is now pointing to the old /datadata.

Cannot seem to get into download mode. Will wait to see if anyone can help out.

edit2:

Am able to get into Download Mode.

Attempted to Flash the Heimdall KK4

Got error message:

Unsure of how to proceed. Java process is still going.

edit3:

Attempted odin KK4 one click without bootloader.

After a few attempts of not recognizing the captivate and then just seemingly hanging when it started, finally got a few successful flashes(meaning they went through).

However now, the first time it reboots into Random dot color screen, and stays there for practically ever.

I battery pull, and then it reboots like it's almost stock:

1) AT&T World Phone

2) brief Random colored dots screen

3) AT&T 3G animation screen with noise

4) Samsung Galaxy S

5) Repeat into 2), except 3 now has no noise.

May try flashing other pre-KK4 stocks and looking into this random colored screen.

Also of note is that a few times it would hang when on the cache file in Odin, and the screen would change color to purple or reddish.

edit4:

Flashed KK4 with bootloader this time. Took about 2-3 times to take, but flashed all the way and I am now booted into stock!

My guess is now there was either a partition issue or a bootloader issue or both.

Now to get back to CM10 nightlies.

edit5:

I think my internal storage is dead. It seems my flashing has now made it so that the external sd card holds all the info. This is probably the only reason this worked.

Maybe.

Anyways, I made kk4 into root(superoneclick did not seem to work, had to flash something to get root). Then I installed CWM Recovery (using heimdall method in cyanogenmod wiki for captivate). Then I flashed the latest CM10 nightly.

Problems so far:

Internal Storage is missing.

I only have an 8GB external, which is now partition into a ~2gb and ~5GB partition. Space is now very precious.

Some apps like gallery and camera no longer work, as they demand an external sd card.

Here's what my /dev/block looks like:

mmcblk0 is my 8GB external(now main storage)

I don't remember seeing dm-0,dm-1 before. Nor do i remember mmcblk0p2 existing before.

External SD is trying to map to non-existant mmcblk1p1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shal99:
I'm having a similar issue. I cannot flash to anything except when my external sdcard is inserted, which acts like the internal sdcard. This means that I can't take photos. I guess I can just use this temporarily and will upgrade to the Nexus 4 when it's released.
