[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mighty_Rearranger:
Here's the deal:

I rooted my phone a long time ago, and have been using CM since ICS. Mostly nightlies.

A few weeks ago I decided installing a Carbon nightly (4.3), and everything went smooth as usual.

Then new nightly came, so I decided flashing it. (Dirty flash, but it's that way from what I read in the Carbon thread)

The thing is, my phone boots up correctly, but I can't get into recovery mode. Whenever I try booting recovery mode, the logo appears, then the screen flashes gray. I have tried both the advanced reboot menu, the button combo, and ROM Man...jk :p

I think something might be wrong with the recovery included in the kernel. If that's the case, would it be OK to flash just a new kernel or do I have to reflash the whole thing?

I have already seen some guides on flashing kernels with mobile ODIN, but they're either ancient or for another model. Also, I don't know if that's the right thing to do under this situation.

I'd appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction. I don't wanna frak up my phone. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can install a kernel to see if that will solve the issue, but as far as I can see, the Carbon devs do not provide a stand alone kernel for their rom. You could use AJK or one of the other kernels though. Or you could just reinstall the rom to see if it would clear up the problem.

Or, you could extract the zImage from the full rom and use Mobile Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
I didnt want to create a new thread for this and get yelled at.. so I am asking the question here:

I had to do the ODIN method and returned my phone from ShoStock 3 to Stock Gingerbread, because for some reason my phone was getting stuck at the "samsung galaxy s2" boot screen.

So I am back on Stock Gingerbreak Rom and trying to install ClockWork Mod Recovery, so that I can restore the backup of ShoStock that I had created.

I am doing the Mobile Odin Lite method and I downloaded the i777 kernel. When I try to install it, I boot in the Android System Recovery (3e) and get the following errors:

Installing package...

Finding Package...

Verifying Update Package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed.

Before I get yelled at, I searched google and came up with the solution -- all of which say that the issue can be easily fixed by toggling the setting in ClockWork Mod Recovery Mode, but I have to install it first, and whenever I try to install it, I get the above error.

Can someone help please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
3e recovery is the stock recovery. It means you have not installed a custom kernel yet. Please look at the links in my signature and use the guide information there, which will help you understand what you need to do to install mobile odin lite and then install a custom kernel.

Also, remember that you will need to have the correct version of ClockworkMod Recovery to restore your backup. If the backup and the version of CWM recovery are not compatible, it will not restore.

If you have questions, ask them here, but be aware, I only come on line usually two or three times a day to check the forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
I followed Step 3a on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18576627#post18576627

Unfortunately, for some reason, ODIN Lite was not recognizing DD_03042012.zip file. So I went with Siyah and downloaded the TAR file used ODIN to get the clockwork mod. It worked.

Now the problem is I cant restore my backup. I know the same backup has worked before, not it is giving me an error "Error while restoring /system". wth!

I dont remember what version of Clockwork Mod I had. I know it was an older version, becuase it didnt have touch.

How do I get a previous version of CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mighty_Rearranger:
But my problem isn't even remotely similar to this guy!

I'm trying to ask if there's some way to flash a new kernel/rom without using recovery, taking advantage of the fact that my phone boots fine but I can't boot recovery. That's the reason why I mentioned ODIN.

Also, go make your own thread. My question didn't even get answered >:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
Actually,

Creepyncrawly, thanks for your help.

I downloaded ShoStock 3 and flashed it to get the previous version of CWM, and then was able to do a restore.

Sigh.. no harm done.

You can have your thread back... good luck!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Yes, as stated by creepyncrawly, u can use mobile odin or regular odin to flash a kernel.

But i would suggest doing a MD5 check on the Rom u downloaded, because the Rom u flashed may be that of a corrupted download. If MD5 doesn't match then redownload, check MD5 and if good, reflash the Rom.

.....or maybe the nightly is messed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I can see why you could be upset that someone hijacked your thread.

I only see one question in your original post, which I believe I answered. You also requested assistance which I thought I provided.

Let me be a little more specific for you. Yes, you can flash just a kernel without re-flashing the system. However, you will need either an Odin flashable tar of the kernel, or you will need to install Mobile Odin and then you can flash a kernel directly from a zImage file.

However, I think 4-2ndtwin has the right of it. It was probably a bad flash, even though the phone booted normally. You should consider re-flashing the entire rom.

If you are not clear about anything, please ask questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mighty_Rearranger:
Never mind.

I concluded it wasn't worth it just because I was lazy backing up stuff.

I used this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525821, then flashed a clean ROM.

Thanks for the help, you guys are awesome.

Hello all, been looking threw the forums and do not see a how to root thread? Been debating on rooting, can you unroot if need be?? Havent been on android since the original evo. Just got myself the white s4 in replace of my iPhone 4S so haven't flashed or rooted nothing in a few years beside jailbreaking which is boring... Thanks!

[LG Optimus G Pro] Bucika:
Hello,

I see a lot of work being done in Original Android Development and that is really exacting to see!

I'm planing to buy a new smartphone and I was waiting to see what the Note 3 has to bring to the table, and I don't think we need 3gb of ram in any near future, and Super Amoled on Note 3 is pentile.

So for me there are only 2 options Note II or G Pro. I really like the G Pro because of Full HD screen, 13mpx camera, and Snapdragon 600 processor.

No matter what phone will I buy I will install custom rom on it (Pure Android AOSP, cm10.1 / 2...)

Now I have one question for you and one request;

Do you believe that G Pro will get fully stable 4.3 rom, and as far as the roms are at the moment are they fluid, and fast? I would totally buy Nexus device but it has to small screen for me, so speed and fluidity is a factor for me. Note II has Exynos processor but we all know how is Samsung with the source release, they just don't release it so the Note II will newer get used to the full potential...

How is LG in that department?

And I have one request. Can someone make a video of any pure Android based rom running on G Pro, so i can see that phone in action?

Thank you from hope to be soon user of G Pro! :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] spiderx_mm:
even when I'm typing this, we're already having SlimBean 4.3 Beta. that's we can stay pretty stable. But what version u gonna buy? that's the big question. Development is in quicker pace fro E980 version, but the pace is still very slow (or can I say no go) for other variants such as E988. So, check out which version is compatible with the carrier you're using, and how many custom roms available for that version of handset. :) just my 2 cents
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMTN:
Help, I'm slowing going out of my mind. I've been trying to figure out the problem but no joy here so far.

I think I've successfully upgraded to KissKat 4.3 from EOS 118 . Everything loads, asks me to set up tablet etc but I keep getting the " AOSP keyboard has stopped" so I can't actually finish the set up or see if I've actually upgraded properly.

I use TWRP 2.5 version, all the Gapps and version 20 from the 1st page. I've reflashed and rebooted many times changed the keyboard settings but ended up the same message. I also get the google text to speech has stopped as well and I've disable that as well.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
I am pretty sure there is an issue with the GAPPS not being loaded properly. Boot to recovery, wipe cache & davilk, flash GAPPS then wipe caches again. It should boot fine.

If that does not work, try downloading the GAPPS from the first post again. Using any other GAPPS could cause issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMTN:
Hi frederuco, I actually followed your guide but I'll try the gaps once more. If that doesn't work then I'll try ver 19.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMTN:
LOL. I can tell you I've done that 4 different times with 4 different download all from the 1st page but it worked on this 4th and I'm not sure why.

Now to see tomorrow if this ROM lives up to all the troubles ( 3 hours worth ) and praise . Thanks for your guides by the way.

Hi guys,

Here's something i did with the help of others here on the forum :silly:

As a lot of others, i like the AOSP application icons better over the Samsung themed applications..

I really do like the Touchwiz launcher though, its really clean and simple.

By using a guide (link , btw give him a thanks for that.)

- Just flash the attached zip file with a custom recovery.

- Should work on ANY Samsung device, running Android 4.x !

- To remove the icon pack, delete /system/csc/appresource/* folder + content.

- Adding/Removing Applications

(NOTE: to add more custom icons, you need to decompile/recompile it etc etc link)

I totally forgot you can do this very easily yourself :p

Open up the zip file you want to change, in /system/csc/appresource/ there is a file called CSCAppResouce.xml

Open this file, and remove line 18 (in case you're using Notepad++) which says this:

:good:

Also, if you want any installed app to use a different icon (only the one's which are in my package)

You can add a line like above, and change the package name.

Example, if you have Boat Browser (free) add this:

Easy way to check the app's package name is by checking on pc with browser ;)
