Why it says:

Android Magic not found in ./boot.img ????
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jimRnor:
are you extracting kernel.elf?

this tut was not working on kernel.elf, or maybe your cygwin got problem :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nostix:
No i tried with a boot.img :/

Currently I'm trying to install the perl and cpio packages...

Nice guide but I was just wondering, currently my phone has 3 boot images

1. logo.bin which is somewhere in /dev

2.boot_logo which is in /system/media

3. And the usual bootanimation.zip

My question is if I follwed these steps would it show the image??? Currently I dont know if kernel boot logo is enabled in the kernel config file since the config file is not available and the oem doesnt give out the sources for its kernel

[MENTION=5022578]Great_Geek[/MENTION]:

So I did try on Linux (installing Cygwin is too much hassle, really), but I get the 'Android Magic not found' error (or something like that).

I also tried doing it like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680526 With 7zip, that is.

But this method doesn't work for me, because even if I repack the kernel, unmodified, I get a bootloop (only the bootlogo flashes, no recovery light).

Any ideas what I can do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
To be honest, I like downloading the kernel source, modifying that and compiling.

Are you making sure the permissions aren't all screwed up when you repack?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Yeah, I did download the source (CM 10.1 kernel sources from OpenSEMC), tweaked it, and compiled. Works magic with the CM10.1 kernel ramdisk...

Anyhoo, I found out that, for Sony (specifically the Nozomi) kernels, this is the correct way to do it:

1. Extract the .elf or .img file with 7zip. You'll get three files out of that: 0, 1 and 2. 0 is the zImage, the kernel, so to speak, 1 is the ramdisk (which you'll be editing) and 2 is the RPM manager.

2. Do one more "7z e 1". You'll get a file named '1~'.

3. That file, '1~', is the ramdisk image. To extract it, execute this command:

gunzip -c your-ramdisk-file | cpio -i

Now you'll get your ramdisk extracted

4. Do your changes to the ramdisk. In this case, you'll want a .png image, with as low compression as possible. You'll need DoomLord's tools for converting pictures into raw files.

5. Replace the logo.rle. Execute this command:

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > 1

6. Repack the new ramdisk (named '1') with the original zImage and RPM file with Sony's mkelf.py file (found on their website).

For all this, you'll (of course) need Linux. :D

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr*scot:
I cannot unlock my bootloader. I have a Nexus 16 wifi with 4.2.1 and no other hacks or mods applied. Bone stock.

When attempting this through the Nexus root toolkit or Nexus 7 tool kit or through a fastboot command line device says unlocking now but does not reboot afterwards. When manually rebooting device is not unlocked. I will also add that my device is encrypted through the software provided on the device. Also I cannot factory reset the device through the UI or through the bootloader. Again it says it's doing these tasks but upon boot up I am still asked for my storage unlock password and the device is still back the way it was pre wipe attempts.

Other strange behaviors indicating a wipe attempt are random reboots, Andriod OS process consuming > 40% of my battery. Also device installs the same app updates every time I reboot or if the device reboots on it's own.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGingerSage:
I would try un encrypting your device and then try to factory reset and then when you go to unlock the boot loader do not do it through the tool kit instead download android SDK and then unzip the download and then go SDK -> platform-tools and then once inside that folder hold the shift button and right click in the blank space in that folder and then click open command window here, also be sure you have correctly installed the nexus drivers from within the tool kit and then put your nexus in fastboot mode and connect it to the computer and then in the command window type a adb OEM unlock and then follow what it says on the nexus

Sent Via Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr*scot:
No dice

Unfortunately the only way to un-encrypt device is to reset it to factory spec again which it will not do no matter the method tried. The drivers are correctly installed via the toolkit. The tool kit shows that device serial number. I have installed the SDK and have tryed that method via fastboot 'fastboot oem unlock'. I then follow the directions on device and press the power button. Device is stuck at 'Unlocking now.....' However nothing happens. It does not automatically rebooot or wipe device. When I push the power button the device boots normally as if nothing had happened. Also bootloader is still locked. If I can get it unlocked I think I should be able to wipe it.

Sort of sounds as if the $64,000 question is whether or not the "device encryption" is doing it's job, or whether it has a back door. :o

I can see why people might actually want the behavior you are describing - so long as Google was making it abundantly clear that such behavior was part of the bargain.

I don't know the answer - looking around ATM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr*scot:
Wondering too if this is an unintended consequence of encrypting the device. So now that it is encrypted if the device is lost or stolen it's no good to anyone as there is no way to reset it back to a functional device. There has got to be a way to around this. I travel quit a bit for work and that is the only reason I chose to encrypt was in the event it was lost or stolen.

I have an RMA number open with Asus in the event that this cannot be figured out. Really though it is not a hardware issue, it's definitely software related.

[Nokia Lumia 800] tao77:
It's not possible yet..

It would have been nice to be able to send text messages in Hebrew.

The only way to do this is if you have an unlocked phone(Registry access required). If its an old phone that has never been updated and when you plug to the USB you see "Qualcomm" and not "DLOAD" then it is possible by replacing the Spanish keyboard with a Hebrew one.

If you have a DLOAD bootloader, which you do, you can look for "Test Points and ATF Flasher" but I wouldn't waste too much time on it because the Windows Phone 7.8 does not support right to left properly in controls and does not support Hebrew charset and proper right to left when you surf the web.

On the Lumia 800 for now we use the Tao WP7 Hebrew Keyboard.

With no choice, we upgraded to Nokia Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8 which supports all languages.

Installation Suggestions

- Disable the ripple effect for Lock screen prior to installing the theme, it has been known to cause boot loops and other problems if left checked/enabled, also keep un-checked, seems to have issues with the theme and ripple effect. sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thanks bro, once I got it made on one touchwiz ROM, it's not too time consuming to bring it over to another TW ROM, but still takes quite some time testing and everything by yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jucytec:
I read it...

hence why it was disabled... it read as if it only needs to be disabled during installation... you should update to

You cannot enable the ripple effect when using this ROM. it will cause boot loops.

dude it's clear as day and night

"it has been known to cause boot loops and other problems if left checked/enabled, also

, seems to have issues with the theme and ripple effect. sorry."

I don't know about you but this means to NOT enable the ripple effect..

but I'll try and make it easier to understand I guess

and this isn't a ROM dude, it's a theme..

the ripple effect works fine on the ROM, but not this theme, I'm still working on finding the cause..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Re: SynergyROM r326 AOSP theme v1.0 - 2/2/13

Even in the ROM it clearly states to disable ripple effect when using aosp lock screen. Hence it should be obvious that it needs to be disabled using this AOSP THEME!!! THE AOSP LOCKSCREEN AND THE RIPPLE EFFECT DO NOT WORK ON ANY ROM OR THEME. I also didn't mean to make it seem like it Was easy, I figured it was just easier knowing the basics of the stock based TW ROMs. I know it's still a lot of crap to go thru as every one is different. Good work. Do you actually know how to get rid of Verizon Wireless on the lock screen and drop down notification bar? Or do you know where it is located and I'll do it myself? Can't seem to find it anywhere.. Thanks.

Re: SynergyROM r326 AOSP theme v1.0 - 2/2/13

You have to disable ripple effect in settings lockscreen. It will EFF up if you don't. Same as on the latest synergy. Disable all lock screen options to be safe before using the aosp lock screen. I have had no trouble with it. Just have to follow the directions carefully. It won't fix any mistakes you might have made.
