Yes, also some other users had this problem. Unfortunately this can't be fixed, i just made a workaround for that. But, don't know why, seems to work only on I9000/B. I have to search the correct mtd partition for EFS in other variants, maybe it's different :/

Flashing 1.0.8v zip with the latest Hellybean will cause a bootloop. Had to flash 1.0.7v thru odin (no power button)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
O_o try to reflash it, maybe something went wrong. Kernel is correctly built

Click Thanks if I helped you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
If u flash my s version rom will be automatically patched for hugemem. Flash jbplus s ;)

EFS Backup/Restore Workaround FINALLY FIXED!!!! I will release next kernel with this update. Now works great and at second reboot all will work as should :D (first boot, if u see imei problem u must reboot).
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
All GearKernel versions updated to 1.0.9 :D

Biggest bugs fixed are EFS Backup/Restore Workaround and Recovery for ICS :P

Enjoy!!!!!

[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
damn, read first post xD MIUI versions are located in variants folder with "m" at the end :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] boypower:
I installed the new Kernal from viberantm folder on my vibrant with miui by Alberto..... But it doesn't boot.... Stuck on vibrant screen ...
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Ehm strange....try to redownload and reinstall kernel. This isn't normal. Here boots on Galaxy S
[Vibrant Android Development] boypower:
Tried re download and flashing... Still no luck...
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
ehm...recovery works?
[Vibrant Android Development] selmandeli:
Same here. Recovery works, but no boot. :( Downloaded twice with same result. I stuck on Gear logo.
[Vibrant Android Development] boypower:
Yes... I flashed the ROM again and the fixed vibrant patch from the form and back in working condition...
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Ehm....I will check what causes this.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Fixed Boot Problem on some roms (ultra tested :eek:) and Fixed ICS Recovery. Building all kernels (1.0.9v2)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel v1.0.9v2 released for all devices and android versions with boot problem definitely fixed and ics recovery full working :D

Enjoy!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
A word of warning, if you're running Slim 4.3 do not attempt to flash this kernel. It bootloops, it kills the modem and most importantly (and regretably) it kills the IMEI.

I can see no reason why I kernel should do this, but there you have it. Also to the OP please do post the Roms you've tested this to work because it is rather dangerous to say that it works with everything (AOSP, AOKP or CM)...
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
I tried latest slim rom 4.3 :eek: I use it as my 4.3 test rom. Gamerzrom for 4.2. Slim and miui for 4.1. Fk ics for 4.0 ...
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hmmm, that's doubly weird then.

Here's the slim rom I've used: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/news/378-slimbean-4-3-build-1-released

The kernel I downloaded from here: http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Developer/Alberto96/GearKernel/vibrant (1.0.9v2sv)

Did I do anything wrong, because I don't think I did. First I flashed slim+slim-gapps then your kernel and *bam* everything went black. Anyhow now I'm back to stock, reverted my IMEI and I'm hoping to start over again. Any pointers? (I'm thinking to go stock->CM7->Slim->Your Kernel, is that a good route?)

edit: Same as before. Installed it, killed my IMEI. There's something seriously wrong either with my phone or with this kernel. I would recommend caution to would be flashers though.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
I have trouble with this kernel wiping the imei. Not sure if it has to do with the efs backup. But it is problematic.

hi Albert, is it safe if i flash your miui rom with Sephamore kernel without any issues ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Something awesome is coming ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
New GearKernel 1.1.0 Universal & ICS is out!

Universal means that this can be used on 4.1/4.2/4.3 and MIUI Roms without flashing different kernels, just flash one kernel for all JB Android Versions :D

ICS Kernel is separated since it have different GPU Drivers and Partition Layout

"s" version of Universal Kernels doesn't patch automatically rom when you flash zip package via CWM. You need to patch your rom as indicated in first post manually. (ICS "s" Kernel still patches automatically rom :) )

Enjoy and leave here any feedback (negative or positive ^_^) !
[Vibrant Android Development] omnifarious:
Initial flashing of universal 1.1.0 sv thru odin caused bootloop on hellybean 10/24. Fixed by flashing 1.0.9v2sv. Will try hugemem patch before flashing again.

EDIT: Still in bootloop. Reverting back to 1.0.9v2sv
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Ehm....Samsung logo bootloop or just bootanimation bootloop. If its the second one just wipe data/factory reset. New Kernel have different mount options for speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Are you enjoying latest kernel version? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel Universal & ICS 1.1.1 Released :D

Enjoy!!! (and also eat a KitKat ;) )

I lost mi BASEBAND after flashing this kernel on CM 11.0/Android 4.4.1 Build date 12/09. Tried rebooting, kopying efs folder, reflashing modem and cleaning init.d without success. What should I do?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Reflash Modem and check
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
Again the problem with the communication module and the IMEI. Well, what is? Say, can you release a separate update.zip (Gear Recovery 6.0.4.5) without kernel? So I do not keep the phone CM 10.1.3 + CM 10.2 + CM 11? You have a great Recovery, but problems with the modem glow ...
[Vibrant Android Development] selmandeli:
I did it several times with different Modems. As I said I tried everything I know so far :(
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
I too had problems flashing a new build after I flashed this kernel .

I tried restoring my backup and it did not get restored properly.

Had to restore my backup again to get back to the original.

Seems like something needs to be fixed.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

I lost my Baseband too. I restored it from /sdcard/backup/efs folder.

1. Copy the nv_data.bin and nv_data.biin.md5 from the backup folder

2. Paste it in the /system/efs folder.

3. Answer yes for replacing.

4. reboot the phone.

If the above does not work, try flashing Fluid kernel and then redo the above steps.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] selmandeli:
Only flashing Fluid kernel fix my IMEI and BASEBAND. Thank you Sada!
[Vibrant Android Development] martinez5241:
I should of tried this before I used Odin to go back to Stock and re-do everything again... Next time I guess :good:
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
Another option is advanced restore your boot portion of nandroid.

[Vibrant Android Development] binniebin:
Well after last flash I got wrong IMEI, but network work, wheres backup? I thing after flashing GearKernel after last CM11 build it overwrites the good one
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Unfortunately CM11 flashing after kernel formats system partitions so also backup is removed. Reflash gearkernel after ROM flashing to get it back.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
I am not complaining just curious. What is going on in gearkernel that is effecting the efs folder at all? It seems to be very contained to gear (but not exclusively).

[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
Guys, what is it? When GearKernel will not cause problems with a modem, imei and error Status 7 in CWM?:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] livbean:
Have wrong IMEI have tried all solutions suggested short of ODIN. Do not have access to my computer at the moment. Any suggestions? I have several nandroids, both Gear and Fluid kernels on sd and several different ROMS available on SD.
[Vibrant Android Development] binniebin:
I tried to restore backup but nothing, on oldest one I got null, when Im flashing to newer I have 3G, data transfer works but imei is wrong, and I get allert from provider. Also tryied to use some service box that I used on S3 but when Im trying to push imei and serial I get error
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
I would like to know it but i don't know. I haven't touched anything about efs :(

Status 7 Error?? Never had this while flashing a modem or something else :confused:

Try to flash Fluid Kernel then Flash GearKernel. For some users this is working
[Vibrant Android Development] binniebin:
doesn't work, I tried this way yesterday
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
So i don't know. Next time i will add efs backup to sdcard for more restore possibilities.
[Vibrant Android Development] binniebin:
That is good option, cause my mistake overwrited working backup after another flash...

Anybody know how to edit nv_data.bin with hex and where to find imei numbers?
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
When I installed the update CM 11 through Gear CWM they filed an error and Status 7. After rebooting cwm standard and a new build of the firmware cm 11 was successful.

[/COLOR]While on wall charger... My motherboard fried...didn't even overclock it...:crying:

I don't know what to say, maybe the phone was just old?

I've been flashing for years.... so, i know what I'm doing.

I flashed cm11 build 12/09 reboot then 1.1.1 & patch. Everything was fine. Put it to charge over night, went to grab the phone this morning from dresser... it had to be about 95+degrees. I unplugged it right away, took out the battery. waited till it cooled down to put it back together... nothing. Went to a phone shop to buy a new battery thinking that was the problem, nope. I had them diagnostic, motherboard fried.

It's been great being a part of the Vibrant development but I think it's time I pay my phone insurance, to get my replacement Note 2.:cowboy:
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Oh :( Overclock doesn't matter, while charging phone uses powersave governor so low cpu frequencies. I think something went wrong in Voltage Regulator (MAX Chip).

I hope you'll enjoy your future Note 2 ;)

Coming fron Avatar ROM how to install this KK 4.4 ROM?

good day guru's, i'm using Avatar ROm right now and i wanted to tryn this KitKat ROm. how will i install it? please help and thankyou in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Flash it via Recovery. Nothing else ;) Like a ROM but without partitions format.
[Vibrant Android Development] Martezgarki:
I like this kernel a lot, very responsive but like many others, I suffer from the IMEI problem when updating build....
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
GearToolchain Compiled :D Better performance!

Temp. Changelog for 1.1.2:

- Data Corruption definitely FIXED!

- Added EFS Backup to SdCard

- Smaller Kernel

- Fixed some minor stuff

- Fixed 4.4 ROMs compatibility recovery

1.1.2/1.1.1 Recovery can't flash 4.3 roms zips, u need to flash before 1.1.0 Kernel (older recovery) and then update kernel to 1.1.2. Other android versions works without problems :P

New Kernel coming maybe today ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel 1.1.2 Universal & ICS Released!

Enjoy :D

P.S.: Test EFS Stuff, maybe now we won't lose anymore /efs with GCC 4.8.3, who knows ;) EFS will be backupped on sdcard when you flash the kernel so now we don't have anymore to worry about it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Galaxy3HELL:
Problems with data and imei solved so i cant use it in my ROM? :)

Thank you :)

Bye :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
You can use it in your ROM xD
[Vibrant Android Development] waihung0626:
Thanks a lot,very good:D
[Vibrant Android Development] waihung0626:
4.4+ use 'sv' or 'v' versions??
[Vibrant Android Development] selmandeli:
Use "v"version. "s" is for SlimKAT and other Slim ROMs.
[Vibrant Android Development] waihung0626:
Thank you:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Martezgarki:
So can we say that the IMEI/Baseband issue is solved now? Or we still have to restore from backup when we face this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Still have to restore EFS from backup if you face this issue :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Martezgarki:
Any detailed instructions on how can this be done, just in case?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Use root explorer, copy sdcard/GearKernel/efs contents to efs folder. Nothing else.
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
****!!!

Disgusting! This is the core poor. If you install the ROM after installing the Gear formats etc, datadata. Explain to hell, that is the core forgotten in these folders, and why no other kernel so does not??? Just change the voltage of the processor leads the phone to hang, reboot does not help! Do not install. Gear - ****!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
??? If you explain better your problems i can help you ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
I'll show you. I installed the ROM v.1 -> GearKernel -> Rom v.2. After this I wipe imei and folder /datadata! Сбросились traffic for all applications, purchase them and the results of games. With other nuclei such a thing, I checked.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Do this : Restore EFS and reflash Modem (efs is backupped in sdcard). Install ROM v.2 and install my Kernel. Now all should work.

You got just datadata corrupution maybe caused by restarts (too high OC).
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
I have fixed. I tried so: install rom v.1 > cm-kernel/fluid > rom v.2. And all is well, the data on the spot!!! I watched your kernel. Why are you Packed all the boot.img and made a custom installer? This is nonsense.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
Custom installer? Maybe you mean the all-in-one kernel (4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4)? This isn't the cause of your problem. My script is working perfectly, no one ever had this problem. You can have problems just if you set a fake android version in build.prop. Something else happened, and i'm sure that it is related to reboots for high OC.

A log could have helped me before but you wiped all now. If you don't trust this kernel, just don't use it ;) XDA is a free forum where anyone can choose at its own risk everything for its phone.

If you want to retry, before wiping all send me useful logs instead of useless posts ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Martin_Devil:
I'm not one of those who just fool with build.prop. Where are the logs, I will send.

P.S. Your kernel has the same problems still have about 10 people per 4PDA.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
Hi,

I'd like an explanation on some Gear Tools features:

CMLED: What is it?

LIVE OC: I don't want to overclock. Now it's set to 100%. Target low is 400mhz and Target high is 1.2ghz. How does it work? Why using this instead of overclocking using "MAX CPU FREQUENCY"?

DEEP IDLE: What is it? I've been told it caused sudden freezes, but that was over 1 year ago.

INT VOLTAGE: I usually undervolt the CPU a little bit, it helps saving battery. Do I have to touch INT VOLTAGE, too?

Thanks in advance.:good:
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
CMLed: capacitive buttons notifications (managed by ROM)

Live OC: if you don't want to OC, leave all as default

Deep Idle: test it and if you experience SODs disable it. (Better battery drain when screen off)

Voltage: touch it only if you want to OC. Undervolt causes almost always problems
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
I have a safe set of voltages that work great with my CPU, so it'll be fine.

I'm not sure about the difference between CMLed and BLN.

I've set Backlight notification (BLN) to last 120s and blink every 1000ms. It works as it's supposed to be.

What kind of notifications does CMLed handle, if the capacitive buttons notifications are already controlled by Backlight notification?

Thanks for the answer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alberto96:
If you have a safe set of voltages then use it ;) Just don't blame me if phone reboots or crashes using them :P

The real difference is that BLN isn't handled by the ROM but by GearTools. CMLed is handled by ROM/System like a standard led. :)

You're welcome.

I've downloaded the flash plugin from macromedia but it does not good on my IIs. I read in another forum that the flash player doesn't work with 2003SE. Can anyone suggest a solution? Is there another plugin/program I can use?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cayotte:
Try using "Bryht Flash Player". It can play flash files very well in either portrait or landscape mode (full screen).

[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
This kernel is based on Semaphore Sources ( [MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION] ) with lots of optimizations and updates.

I'm working on all android version (4.0.3>). Of course this is based on official CyanogenMod partition layout. (Standard MTD/MMC for 4.0, LVM for 4.1 and newer)

Features ICS/Universal (updated for 1.1.2 Build)

You can find all other minor features in changelogs.

My Kernel Builds are divided in 2 Groups with 2 Versions each one:

Normal versions without s: for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 38*MB - 39*MB

's' versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs (patch here for KK 4.4, here for JB 4.3, here for JB 4.1/4.2, here for ICS 4.0) with hugemem configuration, available RAM 39*MB - 41*MB

"s" version will automatically patch rom when you flash kernel via cwm :) (Only for ICS)

NOTE: Enabling BigMem (using GearTools) in all kernel builds will break 720p Recording/Playback

Based on your android version you can choose your kernel build :)

I would like to say this is awesome kernel it making my phone run fast so far guess I'll see what happens all week with it love the work thank u for sharing this with us
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
It works! Can't say if it brings any performance advantages for now, will be testing it for an extended period first. Nice boot logo in B&W, clean and simple. No zRam options in Performance Settings (not an issue for me, I always turn zRam off), no Step OC in Performance Settings (this is an issue for me, I run 1200 step OC by default), In-Call Volume Controls in Advanced Settings (very useful, the reason I was always flashing Unofficial Semaphore), KSM enabled by default in Performance Settings, default CPU governor - ONDEMAND, default I/O scheduler - NOOP (exactly what I prefer and what gives best performance on my i896).

Thanks Alberto96 for sharing your work with us! :good:

Not sure why though but I'm getting SOD's almost immediately when screen goes off.

I'm running CM10 latest nightly (no SOD with stock kernel). No OC.

p.s. I'm new to captivate so i could be doing something wrong...

EDIT: played with a few settings and seems to be ok now. Might have been deep idle enabled causing it...?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Yes, deep sleep is not stable on all phones.
[Captivate Android Development] oswade:
Thanks, good to know :)

So far this kernel rocks!!! Been running it since yesterday and its been super smooth with no bugs.

The only thing I need to figure out is a way to reduce the amoled saturation (Ariesparts.apk doesn't seem to be able to do this...)
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Well v04 is the stuff love it well fast and smooth all I got to see now is battery life and that takes a day to test man your work is off the hook

[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
I just notice that the 100mhz it's not working. My config are sioplus, bigmem, smartassv2 steps from 100 to 1200 and live oc 105. The ROM is Cyanogen 10.2 nightly. I also notice the issue with C 10.1.2 rc2 and the previous week nightlys

I check the usage of the steps with cpu spy
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Default min cpu freq is 200 mhz and 100 mhz is disabled. I disabled it because 100 mhz uses more power than 100, so its useless.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
What you said is that 100 uses more power that 200. Sorry to ask, but why the 100 uses less voltage. Or is that is slower and the phone stay awake a lot more time before go to deep sleep.

For now on I leave the minimun at default 200. Thanks

Other question can we configure a swap on the external sd to use as virtual memory? and why?
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Alberto96 is right, no significant battery usage difference between min 100MHz and 200MHz.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
For external sd swap u need a script (u should find it in i9000 android dev. thread)
