[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpc91:
Hi everyone..

When I would flash a new Rom..

I should flash the kernel before or after flashing the Rom??

My second question..

Which is the best kernel for (AOSPA PARANOID 3)??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey_oggie:
If the ROM zip you are flashing contains a kernel, it will replace the existing kernel. Same goes for tar files flashed with Odin.

If you are on any stock ICS kernel, then don't wipe using its recovery. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe. After that flash your desired ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpc91:
Thx a lot.. but what about the best Kernel for AOSPA??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] muttonchoppa:
Having trouble getting out of initial boot screen "samsung galaxy s II GT-I9100 with the triangle". I flashed siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-i777.tar using Odin3_v1,85 and had issues using video and camera. Was using galaxys2root.com as guide but no resolve in forum. I tried to factory reset using power vol+ vol- and was still being shown that i was running the siyah kernal... obviously dont know what im doing. I then tried reset using settings and am now stuck at the boot screen. My computer recognized that it was sgh-i777 when bubble popped up but no data is being listed and is showing up as 2 drives in my computer. It shows battery charging briefly but then screen goes black. Is this salvageable, can I get back to a stock ROM? Please advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
ODIN or Heimdall + Download mode will get you out of any situation....

Did you read the stickies or the thousands of other threads that covered this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] muttonchoppa:
Im not able to get phone into download mode. Its stuck at that first screen. I thought I was unable to use ODIN if I cant get the yellow box. If I'm able to use it then what should i flash an unroot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
unrooting?

you dont unroot anything.

just flash a stock rom package using ODIN

do you know how to get into download mode?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Since your computer recognizes the phone, try using adb portable in my signature. It can help you reboot to download mode if you're stuck in a loop.

You can find stock packages in the development section and the stickies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] muttonchoppa:
thanks for the help

I was able to get into download mode... apparently I didnt realize how to do it before. But I used the vol+ vol- plug in usb to enter... just looking for a good stock rom now or willing to mess around with some others... I just want everything to work... for the time being its about as useful as a cerca 90's pager... i can only view missed calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
I like Shostock3 (personal opinion) but if you stick with a stock Rom, make sure it is 4.0.3. 4.0.4 had an issue with a sleep of death problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] muttonchoppa:
what to do first

my phone says im running 4.0.3 and its hardly working so Im thinking that I did something incorrectly when I flashed something from stockrom.com . Im able to get into recovery mode and download mode now with no problems. From what Im reading everyone suggest that I have CWM (but do I need it right now?)... I havent installed it via google play... if it is even there... so is it something I flash? I want to just know how to get it back to normal so I can play around with different roms and find out what I like. I hear that ROM manager is a no no. So... what to do... thanks for having the patience to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
You'll want to get root if you don't have it. Either flash the stock + root package or use the Exynos Abuse app to gain root. If you use the app, do not patch the vulnerability.

Once you have root, download Mobile Odin and flash the Siyah kernel. You can flash Siyah with regular Odin but it will trip the flash counter.

Clearing the flash counter is as easy as a jig or the triangle away program.

For any extra information on any of these topics, read the stickies and look at Creepyncrawly topics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] muttonchoppa:
thanks again

I have flashed AOKP JB on it and everything seems to be working fine... I now understand the appeal of the whole thing... It runs so smooth. Is there a big reason to clear the flash counter? Is that just a warranty thing? I can see why you wouldnt want a huge triangle on the front if youre trying to sell it. What is patching the vulnerability?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Warranty is really the only reason to clear it. When you run Exynos Abuse it asks if you want to patch the vulnerability that allows it to root the phone. This is a permanent fix and cannot be undone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
I have a yakju GNex with stock 4.1 (unrooted). It has the 4.2.0 update on it - it has tried and failed to install this update several times.

I would like to delete this pending 4.2 update, so I'm wondering where I would find the relevant files.

I figure that, once I've deleted them it might automatically download and install 4.2.2 (and hopefully that will install properly), and if that doesn't work then I will try to manually flash 4.2.2. Either way, I'd like to start by deleting the pending update.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
4.2.2 requires 4.2.1, which requires 4.2

you modified system files and thats why the OTAs fail to flash. i swear i'm beating a dead horse by saying that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
Thank you for clarifying about the OTA being dependent on each other. I take it that applies to the OTA, and not to the published Nexus images so I could still download 4.2.2 and flash it to the phone (bypassing 4.2).

I can see why you suspect that I have modified system files, but I have not. It has stock, unrooted, yakju 4.1 on it.

The only thing non-standard about it is that a Canadian GNex, with an unlocked bootloader, and flashed (via fastboot) to the standard Google firmware. But that is extremely common here, and the problem I'm having is not extremely common, so something must have got mucked up on the phone.

Regardless of how it happened, I would still like to delete the update files if it can be done w/o root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
Now I think that is wrong...

I 'reset' the phone - using the option in settings that erases user data.

It appears that this cleared the pending update, as a day later I was prompted with a new OTA install, but now it was for 4.2.2. I confirmed that I was still on 4.1.1 and it was offering me an OTA update to 4.2.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
good, did the 4.2.2 update install fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
No, it did not. But I believe that the problem that prevented it from installing OK is the same problem which brought me here in the first place. I don't think it would have offered me the 4.2.2 if that update was not suitable for me.

In the end, I downloaded yakju 4.2.2 stock from the Android Nexus Images page, and then followed efrant's instructions in post#1 of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

I did each of the fastboot flashing steps, including the optional ones, to get the best chance of overwriting whatever was causing the problem. This worked and the phone is now running 4.2.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
Great man!

Enjoy your perfect Galaxy Nexus now :D :D :D

Have You tried SEUS or PC companion? (I always used to fix all of my problems with flashtool with this ROM)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catalinu:
I also had a DEAD bootloader. It took me arround 4 hours with different tools but nothing. Of course the PC recognize nothing but SEMC flash device in Device manager (only when from poower off I plug the cable USB with back button pressed). Finally I launched Companion (with phone unpluged) > Support zone > Repair phone > X10 and now it asked me to plug the phone (powered off and with the back button pressed), and it started to download and install. It took some time so I was tired, so went to sleep, letting it in update progress. In the morning I found some steps ok, and I think one failed (I can't remember which one). I was started it again the S1 tool and now it says that the bootloader is alive, similar with the report of S! from here: http://i-amhereforyou.blogspot.ca/2012/06/unlock-bootloader-for-xperia.html

But the bootloader is locked, with no ROM installed on it, so FlashTool can't unlock the bootloader because the version of the rom is not recognized, so the option Unlock is not in Plugins...

FlashTool is useless I think because it can't flash a ROM because the bootloader is not unlocked and it can't unlock it because the phone has no ROM !!! What a pain...

I think that the only chance is to have the phone completeley restored to stock rom unloaded bootloader, but at least to have it booting in android, so I can check "USB debuging" to start the unlocking process by FlashTool.

But Companion (neither SEUS) are unable to install the factory image for an error that I can't remember (I am at work now, I will try again when I will go home).

If someone know anything else to try, please let me know.

After hours of tests I advanced a small step (from DEAD bootloader to alive), and I hope that it will still have a chance to be resurected.

Thanks

It's not that people aren't supportive. People get "ticked off" when there's multiple threads asking the same question, especially when people ask how to root a device.

Personally it doesn't bother me, when ever I get a new device, I ask how to root it or what's the best guide to follow to root the device. I don't always think the best guides are "stickied" in the forums, but that's my own opinion.

All in all, it's just whoever ends up helping you out. Some people are willing to help out more than others.

I logged in just to say that while I am not having a bad day by any means, this thread is killing me.

OP, I need to stress that you REALLY need to read more about what you are doing with your phone. These are all fundemental ROM flashing questions. And just so you know, if you post this kind of nonsense in the Develpoment or Original Development sections, they will eat you alive. Then I'll have to come in and clean up a mess and believe me, no one wants that.

Since you are in the midst of flashing Illusion, make sure you read mt3g's Q&A thread. Tons of information in there for you and will most likely prevent you from asking some of the questions that may come up.
