[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
Hey guys.

I just bought a samsung tab 2 10.1 and want to flash it to cyanogen to get the multiple users that comes with android 4.2.x

I havent flashed in a while since i updated my i9100 to 4.1.2, so i thought best to flash my i9100 to cyanogen first to try it out as my phone is already rooted. I found a few guides for installing cyanogen to my phone using cwm recovery to install from the SD card.

I remember rooting my device back when i updated it to 4.1.2 but when i tried to boot into cwm is would boot into the stock android recovery.

so i figured i needed to flash cwm recovery.

after checking all kies processes were stopped i flashed the kernel "GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4" , but the phone would not boot and hang at start screen.. as a plus side i now had access to cwm recovery from boot... ironic.

so i booted into cwm recovery thinking to install cyanogen mod as i thought maybe the rom wasn't compatible with the kernel?

but noticed that the cyanogen rom was not present on the menu in cwm recovery, must of put it in the wrong place. I was now thinking to get my phone to boot into 4.1.2 that should still be on the phone, since the current kernel wasn't working i flashed "Siyah-v5-MCM-i9100-vsync_sysfs-20130217" in hopes it would be compatible.. still no luck with it booting. but i still have access to CWM recovery.

Any thoughts on how i should proceed? if i can get cyanogen onto the SD card should i install it via CWM?

little lost at the moment. been a while since i done all this.

here is the information i noted down before i started today.

4.1.2

i9100xxls8

3.0.31-863787 se.infra@SEP-115 #3 smp preempt thu jan 31 12:20:07 kst 2013

JZO54K.I9100xxms1

Thanks for reading.

Philz kernel lss flash that through odin. Reboot to recovery, do the wipes and and reboot. 4.1.2 should boot up then. Then move custom rom to int sd and flash away. Philz installs custom cwm. Once you have flash custom rom philz will be replaced with stock custom kernel with cwm built in to it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
I'll give it a shot, is the Philz kernel you mentioned this one?;

<< 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery >>

I'm not to sure what kernel version i need.

how would i find out this information ?

Many thanks.

Edit:

I noticed in my previous notes i made when first flashing my phone a year or so ago. The kernel i used was this;

3.0.15-I9100BGLP8-CL317471 dpi@dell151#3

It is now kernel version;

3.0.31-863787 se.infra@SEP-115 #3 smp preempt thu jan 31 12:20:07 kst 2013

which has no reference to previous kernels. but my current baseband version is: i9100xxls8

LS8 stands out in both... so would using PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSY-ORA-5.10.0.tar.md5 work on my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Lss will work as it for 4.1.2 it just has newer cwm installed.tar is for odin. You could get the zip one and put on an sd card put bk in your phone and flash it like that. Make sure its zip not tar for flashing in cwm.

Thanks

Thanks, that worked. opted for no installing the nightly version of cyanogenmod as i would like something more stable on my phone.

I've been looking at Resurrection Remix 3.1.2 or CM1UI Jelly Bean.

Is the Philz kernel i installed a widely compatible kernel or should i install Siyah ? my last attempt to install Siyah kernel lead me to write this post.. how would i go about installing a more widely compatible kernal with out ending up in a hang screen again ?

Kind regards and many thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
By 'compatible', you mean the kernel works with many ROMs?

Philz is a stock based kernel. So it only works on stock based ROMs, and depends on the android version and the build versions (like LSS, LSJ, LSD etc). Siyah is more compatible, because it only depends on the android version (like JB, ICS or GB).

You had a bootloop before after flashing Siyah mcm kernel, because the mcm kernel supports AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs, not stock JB. :D

To avoid bootloops after flashing a kernel, use these tips:

1. Flash only kernels supported by your current firmware. Suppose you are running stock JB and you want to flash AOSP 4.2.2 ROM. You might be tempted to flash Siyah mcm kernel (because it supports AOSP 4.2.2). But that would end up in a bootloop as Siyah mcm doesn't support stock JB! :good:

2. Use a kernel cleaning script before flashing any kernels. :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
Thanks for your reply, i have a few questions to try and understand.

Would i be right in saying;

When im looking to install a new kernel and/or Rom. My check list should be;

1. Kernel to phone compatability. I.e my phone is LS8 so i look for LSS/LSY/LSD soforth and so-on.

2. Kernel to Romcompatability. I.e Philz is a stock kernal hence why it works with 4.1.2 stock Rom.

So if i want to install Resurection Remixed i believe its a modified stock Rom so it should work with Philz?

As would cyanogenmod as it is modified stock?

Or is even that modified to much?

If i want to change both kernel and Rom, would it work if i installed for example siyah kernel then boot into CWM recovery and installed from there a new Rom?

Im looking to try out a few roms on my i9100, mainly Reserection remix, and other cyanogenmod clones with light modification as i enjoy the stock android experiance.

Also looking to install cyanogenmod to my p5100 tab. Flashing Philz p5100 kernal and then installing superuser through recovery and then installing cyanogenmod 10 stable version?

thanks for reading and taking the time to anwser my previous questions.

Many thanks

Don't worry, things can be a bit hard to digest at first.

Let me make it easier:

1. U are currently using a stock or custom ROM, but you want to change the kernel (without any plans to flash a new ROM). In this case, you need to select a kernel that is compatible with your current ROM.

2. U are on a stock ROM, and you need to flash a custom ROM. You want to flash a kernel to root it and install CWM (to enable u to flash a new ROM). In this case also, u should flash a kernel that supports your current stock ROM.

3. U are on a custom ROM, and you want to try another custom ROM (which may require another kernel to support it). In this case, you DON'T need to flash a new kernel that will support ur new ROM. You can flash the new ROM directly. All custom ROMs come with their own supported kernels bundled in the ROM. So, after flashing the new ROM, your current kernel will be REPLACED by a supported one from the new ROM.

Better?

I dont believe that rr is stock based. Sorry I didnt reply xda app was down. Immortalneo is top man and will guide you down the right path.:thumbup::cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
So my breakdown would be I'm using a Stock ROM with Philz kernel rooted and CWM. I want to Install Resurrection Remix which is a 4.2.x ROM, Philz is a 4.1.x Kernel so i need to install a new kernel to support Resurrection Remix? or would that come with its own Kernel?

And for my tablet. I flash Philz kernel and install superuser to root the device. so now its stock Rom with Philz kernel. So when i install Cyanogenmod Rom it will install its own Kernel or do i also need to install a Kernel that supports 4.2.x?

Or is it Firmware version based Kernel updates that happen when you install and new custom ROM?

i.e Running 4.1.x kernel and installing a 4.1.x Custom ROM will update the kernel, but installing a 4.2.x ROM will not?

vice versa Running a 4.2.x kernel and installing a 4.2.x ROM will update the kernel, but installing a 4.1.x ROM will not?

Kind Regards, I appreciate your time for reading my mind numbing questions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
For you i9100 just flash the rom using philz cmw recovery and once its done you will have a custom rom with custom cm kernel which is rooted and has cwm with it. I would say to format system ,data, cache and preload before you flash it using philz recovery and make sure the rom and gapps is on int sd card were you can find it.

As for the tablet make sure philz is compatible with that tablet first!! Dont just flash it on that thinking because its 4.1.2 it will work.

Btw with philz also come with root access too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
No, you don't need to install a new kernel, because flashing RR will flash a compatible kernel (included in the ROM) by itself. :good:

CM ROM will install its own kernel, so you don't need to do that. :good:

Don't overcomplicate stuff mate. When you flash a ROM, the kernel contained in the ROM will be replace your current kernel. Simple. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
Thanks a lot!!!

I installed RR to my i9100 and cm10.1 to my p5100.

I'm having a little trouble with i9100 device though, I keep getting random sim locks on the device.. Not sure what could be causing it. It didn't happen on stock 4.1.2.

The devices will be locked and when I wake it I get prompted for the sim lock code. I now have the sim lock on my phone deactivated but I'm fearful that even thought I am not getting prompted for the sim code, the sim could be de-activated while the phone is in sleep thus not connect to the network?

Could be a loss of signal activate a security feature of the sim. Or a problem with the kernel?

Kind regards.

Many many thanks for all your advice into helping me understand a little better.

Serathian.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
If you're sim locked, then you want the app 'Galaxsim unlock'. Search for the xda thread, the OP is spocky12 if that helps you find it. It won't be kernel related. And, test it for yourself. See if you get messages /calls / push notifications while your screen is off & phone is sleeping.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathian:
The i9100 was originally sim locked, but I paid someone to unlock it, once I got the phone back from him "unlocking" it. It was apparent that he has flashed the device with a new kernel and ROM in order to unlock it... Not to sure of the process. A couple months later I flashed 4.1.2 as it wasn't available as a update on the ROM he installed. The phone re-sim locked and I downloaded the app you mentioned and unlocked the phone successfully, been happily using it up until I installed RR. Now I'm suffering from random pin locks. The phone connects to the network and functions perfectly, apart from said sim locks.

My only fear is missing important calls if this lock is causing network disconnections. Can I log network functions and connectivity to see what's causing it?

I feel like there has to be a way to mirror the one's screen over wifi or Bluetooth. Why in the world isn't this an option. Is it just not possible over the hardware or is it just that the devs haven't figured out a way yet?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxed4901:
Dear Developers,

First, its a realy good job you guys are doing to develop android.. making 'open source' more 'open space'. This is the only current forum i can say that features MTX android devise customization.. Many of us are not previledged enough to buy expensive originals :rolleyes: Specially where i am from, they are not selling mobiles on installments so it costs a dime to pay in full.. :eek:.

Months ago, i bought an android smartphone, the MT6577 version of it. I will post few details of the devise for your review..

MEDIATEK VERSION: ALPS.ICS2.MP

MEDIATEK VERSION RELEASE: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1

BUILD VERSION: 4.1.1

MEDIATEK PLATFORM: MT6577

SAMSUNG:confused: NOTE 2

Single Sim (because i read that current Zroms are for dual sim 6577 devises)

I want to install a custom ROM with better spex/modifications. I am eager to try and post results..and to start with, I have already rooted the phone! I have also edited the build prop file for better UI and system performance. Its been 48 hours since then and except for battery drain a bit faster, i think its working gr8.:rolleyes: (i think thats density edit):cool:

Which ROM is most compatible? which ROM is compatible from JB sources? Is MUI rom better than JB? since its a copy devise with lesser hardware power, do u recommend a JB or MUI rom?

I am from Maldives- the tropical side :) and my friends also arent so so hacky but i do know a couple of guys who need such updates..

Looking forward to hearing from you hackers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjtd:
Greets.

So, I want to know if it is possible to remove the 72hour Data Retention Time (the one that keeps your data safe even if your battery drain out).

I would love to set that limit by myself. For example, 24 hour would be just enought for me.

We got sprite backup, so everything would be safe, and we would have a lot more battery life (someone talks about 50% more).

So, any way of doing this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Danny-B-:
Its to do with the hardware not the software so it would be impossible i think.

[Xperia SP General] Deleted member 4529355:
Well, almos everybody knows that if you unlock the bootloader you lose the DRM keys, which in the SP means losing the BRAVIA Engine, WALKMAN-Facebook likes and music information download and last but not least you will not be able to share your location via MMS and as I found today, the new Car mode app that shows you a map and some GPS information will not show you the map.

Today I bought a new ST27a (Go) and installed the Car mode app to see if that was true...and It is. The Xperia Go shows the map but the SP dont and keeps saying "location not found" (SP screenshot resized, it was too big to compare)

So the point is that when I listen to some song with Poweramp there is something like volume goes up and down automatically for some higher tones or someting. I was trying to change something in option, but without any succes. Now I've got Replay gain turned off , Music Fx frozen, and thers is only DVC turned on. Anyone have any solution or it would be simply better to change the music player to winamp or something?

Noticed a lot of people online as well as myself are having issues where the phone screen locks up and won't show a dial pad when in a call due to the phone thinking it is being held up to your ear. The solution is to use a can of compressed air on the speaker grill for a few seconds, and like magic it should work.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkimon:
So my phone is flashed with cool rom running NXT kernel , it had been running fine for the last few weeks. Yesterday the battery ran out so I put it on charge for a bit and rebooted it hanged at the boot animation. Left it to charge some more but it only displays the grey empty battery. I know it's detecting the charger because when I unplug it stops cycling the battery graphic. I can't get into recovery and if I try getting into download whilst plugged in it says battery too low.

I figure the charge board is dead? I have ordered a desktop charger and another battery to charge externally with the hope of returning to stock and sending back to Samsung . I have 10 days before its a year old so a bit of a race against time. The phone had been fine til the last OTA update in the uk which made it really sluggish this is the only reason I had changed the rom. Any help over advice will be gratefully taken on board.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] x_Mischka_x:
I haven't really experienced any of the other issues with the 2013 Nexus 7. Wifi speeds themselves are good, touchscreen is behaving fine, GPS seems to work fine. The only problem I am having is that the device's network connection lags for about 3 seconds every 60 seconds when connected to wifi.

I have attempted pinging every other wireless device on my network from my ethernet-connected desktop, and also have pinged my router from each device itself. My Nexus 4 and laptop behave fine, low latency with an occasional 300-500 ms response time at the maximum.

My 2013 Nexus 7 however, does not. It will drop a packet, and then the next two to three packets will be returned at the same time, resulting in response times similar to 2336 ms, 1336 ms, 338 ms for the next three consecutive responses and a pipe recording of 2 or 3. This happens consistently roughly every 60 seconds, almost exactly so.

This behavior results in media streams of anything higher than about 480p (YouTube especially) stopping/having to buffer every 1-3 minutes on my Nexus 7, when my 30mbps down internet can easily handle it, and does on any of my other devices.

Is anyone else having this problem? If not, can I assume it's a hardware issue, or do you think it will be resolved in software updates?

Pics of a few ping test results attached. Screenshots 2 and 3 are from the same ping test.

This is strange. I'll look into this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] x_Mischka_x:
The recent small OTA update seemed to have fixed the problem I had with YouTube and other streams buffering constantly, but I still have the ping spikes like I described. At least it doesn't affect my daily use of the device anymore, it's still rather silly though. Do you think the NIC could just be of poor quality? That was my first guess after software bug.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] x_Mischka_x:
Are ping tests also displaying such spikes, or just the application you're using? I would certainly feel better if I knew it wasn't just my device.

I am new to all this root and custom ROM, but I have spent hours searching forums and need help so thats why I am posting.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 I747. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. I managed to root my android using CASUAL (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189536) and install Clockwordmod recovery v6.0.3.6

I then download and install #SuperUser. Followed by ROM Manager. (My internet research told me rom manager is the easiest to use for mac users)

I run rom manager, flash clockwork, then look to install the latest "stable" build for CM. I select install CM, format and erase, It downloads, downloads gapps, reboots looks to install CM, then I get the below error message:

my phone then reboots into the stock AT&T. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to wipe my whole phone, factory reset, then install a custom ROM like CM using ROM Manager? or should I be doing something else?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The new CM mods require a specific version of your phone's "bootloader." I switched it to: I747UCDLK3 then re-flashed CM 10.1.2-dtatt with Rom Manager and it worked!

You'll need to download and flash the appropriate bootlegger.
