You just flash it the same way you do with a ROM. Remember you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the kernel and if you dirty flash roms, you have to reflash the kernel each time because the stock kernel overwrites it. You revert back to stock kernel by flashing the ROM again or finding the kernel zip and flashing it separately. You can undervolt and overclock with a different kernel that allows it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiddyKhan:
Hi friends

Iv been a long time reader on xda forums and have always found answers to my queries.

My brother tried flashing a rom but unfortunatley he flashed the wrong rom for his device which resulted in his phone to become hard bricked. no download mode or recovery mode. been doing some reading on the forum and it seems that i might be in for a chance to revive the phone with the UnBrickable SD necromancy mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2023069 thanks to Adam. i have followed the steps which he has outlined, iv disassembled the phone, flashed my sd card with the image file and placed it into the phone. Now this is where im stuck. do i need some sort of a jig to power on the phone or can i use a usb cable attached to my laptop for power? also does the battery have to be connected? iv tried the above but im not getting any response it seems. i short the resistor with tweezers and let go after a couple of seconds from pressing the power button but no response.

i would have posted this in the above link but my post count is low

can someone please point me in the right direction

thanks

How would any operation be possible without a connected power source? Rig the battery to the motherboard before you start, otherwise nothing could happen. The process sounds like a desperate long shot to me, but you've got nothing to lose I suppose.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiddyKhan:
sorry i guess i didnt explain myself properly. ofcourse i will be needing a power source, i just wanted to ask if my normal usb cable hooked up to my laptop sufficient enough or would i need a rig.

okay im going to try and rig the battery to the mother board and see what happens, i dont need the usb cable attached in this case do i?

htc evo 3d - virgin mobile

1. A small sectioin of the touch screen was not working for 3rd party apps. So, I thought a factory reset would help, however, I can't set the phone up b/c the sector isnt working.

2. Was hoping that if I root/flash that perhaps that sector will work - I have no idea what I'm doing/never done it.

3. So I can only work with the screen that you get when you hold the power button and volume down.

4. I have unlocked the phone using the htc development tools but I have no idea what to do next.

5. I go to mini-adb vigor ...use the command line adb devices .... but The adb devices command line is not showing any device

I've read so many damn tutorials on how to do this and they all have different routes and none of them seem to work, ie I cant figure them out.

So, can anyone help me figure out this issue ... what do I do next? The phone is unlocked using the htc dev tools ... I've downloaded a rom...Cool ICS ... what do I need to do in numberical order? Recovery ? (how do I do that) .... flash the rom (how do I do that?).

Thanks ...
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
1. :(

2. I suppose it's possible but I'd say unlikely as it sounds more like a hardware issue.

3. That is the bootloader :)

4. First step done!

5. Might be wrong here but there are a lot of possibilities. I will start with the one I think it probably is. After you htcdev unlock it factory resets your phone. You need to go back into your settings and enable usb debugging and disable the fastboot setting.

If that doesn't work we can troubleshoot other things but considering you were able to unlock with no problems (meaning you have the proper drivers etc) I'm guessing it's just your settings.

You are dead on with the order.

-Unlock bootloader

-Flash recovery

-Flash Super user (or a rooted rom)

*Unlock bootloader (done)

Download sulerSU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

*Flash recovery: http://db.tt/1QYlMnp5

Download that, rename to recovery.img

Put in your adb folder and use command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then use command: fastboot boot recovery.img

*Flash superSU While in recovery. That will root your phone. Alternatively flash cool ICS that you already downloaded.

That's basically it. That's pretty much the procedure for any htc phone. Unlock, recovery, root...

Let me know if you have any more questions :)

Thoughts?

I've been noticing that there doesn't seem to be much activity around the Sprint Version of the HTC One. Correct me if i'm wrong. I did manage to get the recovery changed and the device rooted.

Recovery didn't go too smoothly because i didn't realize there was a different TWrp for sprint and i assume the same goes for clockwork. I tried using both and wouldn't work until i found a very brief mention of a sprint TWRP file that ended in wls.

I really wanted to try the Revolution HD ROM but quickly noticed that it seemed like most all version of the htc one are supported except the sprint version. There is a v9.4 but i have yet to find it.

Question: Is the sprint version that different from the others? That difficult to work with? or is the interest just too low?

I was thinking i'd try to have this thread (easily searchable for sprint users) with some quick info on how to deal with those devices. Though i will admit i'm not that skilled in software mods. Just a member of the community that appreciates all the work you guys put in on all these devices and supporting the freedom we enjoy to use our devices as WE please.

If anyone want to join in and commenting about Sprint specific devices and issues.. feel free.
[One (M7) General] syaoran68:
Sorry the sprint version tends to lag behind others because of the cmda chip. Since all international leaks are probably going to be from gsm models, they are only going to be usable on gsm versions of the phone. Until someone leaks a cdma version of 4.2.2 there's not much we can do.

Recovery Experience

Step 1 - Unlocking Boot Loader

I used the Revolution HD thread as a start point. It is very detailed and easy to follow. It directed me to this flashing Guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618... The bootloader process is easy and pain free.

Step 2 - Flashing to a more advanced recovery

The guide doesn't suggest which to use. I went to the Device essentials (sticky thread of the forum). The choices seem to be TWRP and Clockwork ... (if there are more feel free to suggest). Unfortunately this didn't go as planned because I was unaware that the recoveries for a sprint device were different ... So for you ... if you are using TWRP you must use the recovery specifically for Sprint devices .. currently the file name is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img". I will try to find a link or anyone can volunteer it.

1. The first thing it allows you to do is save your current recovery. I was unable to do this because i had the wrong recovery and by the time realized it i had tried to flashboot flash. However, you can flashboot boot .. which basically allow you to load the recovery and save your current recovery. then you can flash and replace your recovery with the new one.

That is it.. that is kind of where i am at for now. I haven't flashed a ROM .. and i will say i am having some difficulty with both "superuser" it keeps asking to update but then fails and Wifi Tether .... so i'll return with answers to that when i find them.

Hope this helps someone

SuperSU worked and then i tried Wifi Tether and it started to work as well .. FYI "settings for Wifi Tether" that i use

1. Device profile "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)". 2. Wifi-Driver reload (checked).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG9:
Hi,

Some days ago, for an unknown reason and like some other people on XDA, my I9100 lost his IMEI number for a generic one ("0041blabla"). A post on XDA helped me to restore my /efs/ folder to get my IMEI back. It worked successfully, but I'm now facing a new issue : my phone is not asking for a PIN code anymore. I tried to downgrade to Gingerbread and PIN code is asked well, but when I update to ICS (nor JB) PIN code isn't asked anymore. Result is the same updating OTA, with Odin or Kies, after full/wipe or not, reflash, re-partition (with PIT file) or flashing one of the 4~5 different modems I tried. I also tried to boot my phone without SIM card and reboot with the card, still with no results :( .

I found two temporary solution : disable PIN code or change PIN code for the same one. Disabling PIN code is unsafe and change PIN code for the same one everytime the phone boots up is boring and not even satisfying.

Does that mean that PIN Code screen has been disabled for any reason since ICS on the SGS2, as it seems to be for the I9000 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357012 ) ? But I do remember that I entered my PIN code when I was under ICS before the IMEI issue. Is there any way to get it back ?

Do you have any informations, ideas or tricks about this issue ? Any help is welcome.

Thank you !

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG9:
Hi,

I finally found the solution on XDA.

Run this commands through a terminal emulator with a rooted phone :

$ su
# echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
# chown radio:radio /efs/imei/keystr
(if this step doesn't work, it's usually "chown 1001:1001 /efs/imei/keystr")
# chmod 777 /efs/imei/keystr
# sync
# reboot

Each step is needful, especcially the "chmod" one that stucked me for a while because it's not mentionned anywhere, even on XDA.

After reboot, you get your pin code window back, your lockscreen and the poweroff menu (phone was shutting down just after pressing poweroff button during 1 second).

Thank you XDA !

You saved my life (... my phone ...) one more time.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] insomni:
Where to start... So I Flashed a stock rom "M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar" with Odin to my M919 3 times with the same result.

Used Odin 307 with PDA and only Auto Reboot checked each time. Flash went fine completed successfully with Pass each time. Unfortunately that's where the

success ended. The phone rebooted with the TMobile Logo and Samsung logos flashing on screen and immediately went "Samsung is Upgrading 155 applications."

After this process it rebooted once again Flashing the TMobile and Samsung logos. Once booted, the phone screen is black with no icons. At the very top of the

screen, I have a battery icon, the time, 4 bars despite having no sim card in and that little eye icon. At the bottom, the back and menu buttons light up when

touched. The phone is recognized by windows and does allow me to browse the file folders. On the off chance that my file was corrupted somehow, I downloaded it

from a second source the 2nd and 3rd times I flashed it. Now I'm stuck. Nothing I do changes this condition.

Please Help!

** After several attempts I managed to get the phone into recovery mode. Unfortunately the phone Is still having issues. The TouchWiz is back and all the icons, it goes through the setup process but it's unable to turn wifi on and it doesn't seem to see my sim card. Aside from a hardware failure of some type, I don't know what this could be.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: error fixes

Have you tried going into recovery and doing a "Factory Reset" and reboot, it might fix the problem.

Also if it does not fix all the problems you can try to boot the phone up just to get into the SETTINGS

screen, then goto settings>accounts tab>backup and reset> and select "Factory data reset" then

reboot the phone if it does not reboot on it's own.

Good luck!

Does anyone else have the problem where the recent apps/task switcher doesn't actually show the latest app? It usually does if I back out and then hold the back button again. For example, if I'm in Internet and switch to Messaging then hold Back, Internet doesn't show up in the switcher. If I tap back and then hold back again, it does.

Also, most of the apps don't show actual screenshots. They just show a black square.

Do you mean the popup? that tells you a text has been sent.

This happens on all iMate jams, if you dont click the box to close it right away, if you click the background the box will disapear but will still be open in the background, if you click the info button again it will say text sent, and from that point you cannot close it at all until you soft reset.
