When I first bought my phone, it had Gingerbread on it, then I got an OTA update to ICS from Moto, and after that I rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs, does that mean my kernel also changed with the OS or am I still running the Moto ICS Kernel?

Can one update the kernel only by Manufacturer OTA? If not, then why is there so much emphasis on going back to stock ICS before trying the leaked OTA of JB or trying any ROM built for JB kernel? if i directly install the leaked JB OTA wont i update my Kernel also?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamessteelforth:
Does anyone have a link where I can get Fastboot files of MotoBlur ICS Asia Retail?

Yes your Kernel also has changed when you moved to ICS. If you have not messed around with your stock Kernel you can directly update to JB , I have done it.

But you better keep your fastboot files and RSD lite ready just in case u brick .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamessteelforth:
No i havent messed up with kernel ever, so can i just flash the zip from safestrap like any other rom file?? Moreover, upon flashing will i lose my root permissions & apps requiring root permissions/ my recovery softwares like SS3/CWM etc etc.??

What do i need RSD lite for?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] strielcius:
yes, you loose everything, your phone will be like aftermarket ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamessteelforth:
Any link that shows a noob step by step process of fastbooting using RSD-lite for GSM Razr? Thanks again for all the replies

I'm thinking about selling the phone and wanted to wipe everything. Can someone tell me a way if its possible without the touch screen being responsive.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Erm, yes, it's possible but it depends where you can get to. If you can get it into fastboot then you can reflash the stock rom and relock the bootloader.

That'll format the internal partition and obviously make it look OEM. That said, you not thinking of fixing/RMA'ing?

unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything. then relock it.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cks1119:
Hi,

I'm trying to boot my galaxy tab2 7 with compiled kernel.

First, I downloaded kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com.

I download GT-P3100_JB_Opensource_Update2.zip file and extract it.

To compile, I followed ketut.kumajaya's thread (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2086996)

I build only kernel, not other modules. Compile was done without problem.

And I extract boot.img from Stock ROM file downloaded from samsung-updates.com (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3100).

Stock ROM version is P3100XXCLJ3 (that's my device's baseband version).

I unpacked boot.img and I got boot.img-kernel.gz and boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz.

(To make sure unpack/repack tool is working properly, I simply unpack stock boot.img and repack it. And the new boot.img was working properly. So I assume my unpack/repack tool have no problem).

So, I replace boot.img-kernel.gz with zImage and repack it.

But this time new boot image does not working (Device stuck in boot logo)

What did I done wrong? Any body help! I've been stuck with this for a week now...

(When stock ROM is flashed, Kernel version in device info is "3.0.31-595683"
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketut.kumajaya:
You must compile pvrsrvkm kernel module as I mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859227 and then you can use KK-Boot 0.5.x core as your flashable zip template (have PowerVR 3D driver binary inside). If you decide to keep the stock PowerVR binary, change:

to

and

to

in pvrversion.h

Do not forget to copy pvrsrvkm_sgx540_120.ko to /system/lib/modules (backup the stock modules first!)

For trouble free development, I recommend you to use GT-P3110_JB_Opensource.zip, apply all my kernel patch and use my android_espresso_omap4430_r04_blackhawk_defconfig as your kernel config file. Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cks1119:
necesriverua

Many thanx.

I really appreiciate it.

I will try this right away.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cks1119:
Dear ketut,

Because I'm behind firewall, I cannot download pvrsrvkm kernel source.

Frankly, I have very little knowledge about android system. so I'm not sure I understand your guide correctly..

What I've done is as follows:

1. Download GT-P3110_JB_Opensource

2. Apply your patch from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859227

3. Modify PVRVERSION_BUILD and PVRVERSION_BUILD_HI and PVRVERSION_BUILD_LOW in drivers/gpu/pvr/pvrversion.h (kernel source)

4. Apply android_espresso_omap4430_r04_blackhawk_defconfig and Build (using arm-2010q1-202..)

5. Repack zImage with ramdisk.cpio.gz (extracted from stock rom file)

6. Replace boot.img in your kkboot-0.5.2-core-p31xx.zip with repacked boot.img

7. Apply new kkboot.zip in CWM and installation failed and aborted.

Am I totally in wrong direction? What am I missing here?

I sincerely ask your help.

(I found that when build kernel after your patch, additional module files (.ko) are generated.

Should I do something with that?)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketut.kumajaya:
Correct.

Correct, all my patch from 01-07.

Incorrect, nothing to do with pvr driver inside the kernel source, it's useless. You can download eurasia_km.tgz from http://www.mediafire.com/?m9te7t4rosp131d . Do not modify PVRVERSION if you plan to use my kkboot boot image.

export CROSS_COMPILE='/opt/toolchains/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-'
export LDFLAGS=''
export CFLAGS=''
export SUBARCH=arm
export ARCH=arm
make mrproper
make android_espresso_omap4430_r04_blackhawk_defconfig
make -j4

Incorrect, use kkboot ramdisk for now.

Correct.

Try to unpack and repack kkboot without modification, is it works?

Unpack kkboot, you will see a lot of modules inside system/lib/modules ;)

Is it require special tools to unpack kkboot image?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketut.kumajaya:
Forgot to mention, my ramdisk packed in lzo format :) You need lzop application to unpack it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cks1119:
You mean only ramdisk?

If so, as my understanding, unpacking boot.img in kkboot-0.5.2 and repack without any change, should be working

whether your ramdisk is packed with lzo or not.

But when I did it, I still got installation fail.

(I used the unpackbootimg in blackhawk tool from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241005)

By the way,

I've searching about lzop compressed ramdisk and found this: https://github.com/trevd/aos-tools/blob/master/scripts/unpack-ramdisk.sh

And with this method, I could unpack ramdisk file.

cat boot.img-ramdisk.gz | lzop -d | cpio -i

But, I think this is not the point.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cks1119:
I simply unpack and repack boot.img from kkboot-0.5.2-core-p31xx.zip

with boot.img-tools in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241005

Then change original boot.img with repacked one and make new zip file in external SD card.

When I go to CWM recovery and try to install new zip file, then I got following message:

Hi,

I reverted my phone from King Kang back to stock then upgraded to 3.17 (Telstra) and hated it. So I tried restoring my King Kang backup and now Wifi won't work, nor does Camera, and it stutters and lags and is pretty much unusable.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the firmware that's part of 3.17.

I've tried running the RUU to go back to 1.89 but it fails with either USB connection error or Battery < 30% (even when fully charged).

Does anyone know how I can get back to a working King Kang?

Also, is there some instructions for rooting Stock 3.17?

Thanks for your reply, but if you look at the other reply it says to flash ics and NOT to do a FACTORY reset and you say to do the factory reset what is the risk of doing the factory reset

Not to sure which version of PHILZ modified Kernel to use Can you help with this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
If you choose GB, it's safe. But ICS kernels have a bug which can brick the phone if a factory wipe is made. What abhinav said was to do a wipe in GB. Which is safe. What I told you was you can directly install the ICS rom but refrain from wiping till you install a safe kernel.

Go to OAD forum of note and you will see Philz thread. Download any ICS kernel like DDLRB and place on external SD. Then boot in to recovery and choose "apply update from external storage". Choose the zip file you downloaded. Once done boot into recovery again. Yubwill have Cwm. Now you have a safe kernel. You can do a factory wipe.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
You have an ICS rom. You can use any ICS kernel by Philz. Use xxlrt or ddlrb

Flashing via odin will increase the counter and yellow triangle at boot. Best is to flash via recovery. Place the zip version of the kernel on ext sd card and boot into recovery

I used modified ICS kernel PhilZ cwm6 XXLRG DBT 3.99 signed zip version but when I boot from SD it stops and says that it can't verify the signature and wont install

Or should I use the tar file in ODIN?

I do appreciate all your time and effort
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
What option did you select in recovery?

This is what you need to follow

1. Download the signed zip version of the kernel and place in external sd.

2. Boot into recovery and choose "apply update from external storage".

3. Choose the file you downloaded.

4. It will do the magic.

This will give you root access and yes apps like TB can be used. Also you will get CWM and it's a safe kernel too.
