P5 is the kernel. P6 is for recovery.

Permission denied means you didn't allow root access. Did you get a root prompt when you opened terminal? Try the su command and see what happens.

Dont know yet. i tried $ su (enter) --> SUaccess granted

$ dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 (enter) permission denied

then I tried it as $ su dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

All it said was access granted but i didnt get a permission denied message. Just another dollar sign command prompt

Going to flash siyah again and see if it worked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
If it worked it would said something like

xxxx records in

xxxx records out

xxxx bytes transfered

I haven't done this with terminal emulator so I can't confirm it working. I can confirm that it works with adb.

DO NOT CHANGE THE COMMANDS IN ANY WAY... spacing, punctuation, and capitilazation all matter also. Changing the commands could potentially BRICK your phone. su is a seperate command. Also this command is for flashing from the internal sdcard not external.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
well im inclined to say its not working because ive done everything exactly how you said including capitalizing the I in zImage and the best I can get is permission denied. I downloaded adb from the link you posted and installed it on my computer but i havent figured out how to use it yet. I can get the command prompt up but where i go from there is a mystery to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
You need to have usb debugging enabled in settings, and your phone connected to your computer (do not not mount mass storage mode). Open a command prompt in adb and type- adb devices, if everything is installed correctly is should have a number under list of attached devices. If not you need to go back through all your instructions, if it's listed continue.

command-

adb shell (it will come up with a # or a $)

su (you must then grant it root permission on phone screen if it's the first time)

then issue your dd command.

I haven't tried the new 4.2.1 version yet, but I'm sure it's great. The 4.1.2 was very nice. Fast, clean, and looks nicer than anything else I've tried. It's definately worth a try.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I personally used apn manager app to switch mine when I was still on stock. ROMs are just a personal preference. I am using SHOstock3 right now.

I just tested this on my phone with terminal emulator, and it worked just fine (I realized I had mixed up # and $ when I had written it but thats just a line marker). Can you pm me exactly what your doing and typing in terminal emulator?

I flashed CWM with Odin, worked perfect, installyed the i777 Nightly Rom, all systems go, but now however it boots with the animated CM10 bootlogo but it never boots into the phone! I've been watching this animation for close to 15mins :(

Any help?

did you wipe the cache in cwm before you flashed cm10

Factory reset * Wipe cache * Wipe dalvik cache before you flash cm10

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] d-weenie:
no you should be able to just go into cwm and do it now then reboot and it should boot into cm10 cause when i first did mine it was told to wipe and all that after the flash and i didnt have any issue but some ppl do it before some do it after

Go into recovery do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Reinstall CyanogenMod and gapps. Reboot. Let it sit for a couple minutes, if it still hangs at the CyanogenMod boot animation just reboot if it does it again reboot. This has happened to me before were I've had to reboot several times before it would start for the first time after flashing a new ROM.

you might wanna click the `thanks` button there for mr.cook seeing as he could`ve just told you to read and follow the instructions in the OP:good:

Flash GAPPS zip in CWM as angelj73 said.

usb debugging is in the developer options in settings. To enable developer options in your settings menu-

go to settings- about phone and tap on the build number section several times, and then it will appear in your setting menu.

I dont understand why you have to do this but mt internet WILL NOT work if there is another apn in there...at least not with this rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
That post is incorrect. Thats why the OP says that it's the only valid post in the thread.

I can personally guarantee that the two apps I said earlier will change your apn. I used the app " APN Manager " , and tested " Offline SIM APN " which also worked on my phone when it was just rooted with stock ROM. So this may be a case of user error- not saving it, not enabling it, wrong app, not rooted.

Also to use that service you may also need to unlock your phone if you haven't already. You can use app- galaxy s unlock.

Telcel sim chip

Am I posting my question the wrong way or wrong place. Somehow answers to someone else questions come. I've used APN manager, remove ATT Apn, installed new Telcel APN, stock ROM, unlocked and rooted, APN manager says Telcel APN, phone still dials using ATT and I have no use of Internet- The dialing and phone settings seem buried somewhere-? If I flash the ROM, will I be able to set the Telcel sim for use of phone and Internet- or does the Track/Straight talk SGH-S959G phone (out of the box)use a kernel or someway to just use ATT- I hope flashing the ROM is my answer to my problem- Thank you greatly! newby

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
What happens when you put in the new sim?

Yes on a custom ROM you can add, remove and switch APNs in the APN menu.

I am currently using a Straight Talk byop sim card, not the one that comes with the phone with no issues.

Flashing a custom ROM will completely remove tracfone. You would then have an unlocked unbranded gsm phone that should work with all compatible gsm carriers.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Ok.

Heimdall uses it's own drivers that aren't compatible with odin. If heimdall detects it odin won't. Download the samsung drivers from the link in the op to use odin.

If you want to use adb there are also instructions in the op under CWM. For the CWM from CM10.1 (the one in the odin package) use the boot.img thats in the CM10.1 zip. Or if you prefer touch recovery use the zImage from SHOstock3 for PhilZ's touch recovery, or for Siyah recovery use aj newkirks latest kernel (zImage) with the CWM adb instructions in the op.
