I have tried to flash apollo kernel into my samsung s2 neatrom 4.4.4 today in order to fix the FP bug of this ROM.

It is written in apollo thread that before flashing apollo kernel Im supposed to do kernel wipe by using of Gs2KernelWipe. This wipe was obsolete and I was redirected here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/cwm-twrp-util-hawkernelwipe-kernel-wipe-t3064146

I downloaded from there the file HawkernelWipe.zip and copied it into my device. Problem was that my recovery wasnt able to find that file.

I found out that it is in reality HawkernelWipe.zip.exe and I thouht that I have to first unzip it in my computer so I run that HawkernelWipe.zip.exe and the result was that my nod 32 antivirus found 15 infiltration in my comuter, my brosers were attaced and various software was installed in my computer.

I thought that XDA developers is trusted site. Why do you put malware into your files?

The Blue Download now is the correct link.

Btw with any filter on your pc you wouldn't be able to download it at all.

Never download a zip file that ends with a .exe
[General Topics] Darth:
That is not from XDA's site, it's from the download link, Dev Host. Yes, Dev Host has become spammy. But there are 2 download buttons, and one takes you directly to the download file. The other has spam. It's not an ideal site these days, but as it does have a safe link to download from, it is permitted.

You should be able to uninstall/clean anything that was installed. It's not viruses, it's malware. Can be easily cleaned with a virus scanner or malware remover.

And as said above, be very careful ever clicking an .exe file you download from anywhere.

The blue Download Now button on Dev Host should be fine. :good:
[General Topics] KennyG123:
As stated xda-developers has nothing to do with external links that you click. Xda-developers host is only that which you find under download tabs of DevDB threads. Some host sites like Dev-host have a download button that includes an installer that installs extra programs. If you are supposed to get a zip and end up with an exe beware. Go back and use the other download button. XDA cannot protect everyone from every possible issue. Instead of blaming xda, ask the OP of that thread to please switch to a less confusing host.
[General Topics] thereassaad:
[MENTION=786351]Samu[/MENTION]elgentl u can download from Dev Host by CM browser & this browser is the best for downloading from this host .

here is link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksmobile.cb

U should click on blue tap then its will download mate & from ur PC/Laptop u can download by using firefox browser just mate tap on blue icon then the file will downloaded completely okay..
[General Topics] Samuelgentl:
All the files I have downloaded from the links which I have gotten from XDA developer site including Apollo kernel 7.3, HawkernelWipeV1.02 and GS2KernelWipeV2.09.zip were blocked by mozilla firefox like potential threats. Because I believe that XDA developer is trusted site I had to switch off mozilla block an also my anti-virus. Who could have anticipated that links on XDA developers site could be so dangerous. Why anybody upload his files to such malicious file hosting servers in the first place.
[General Topics] Samuelgentl:
I had 20 different malwares in my PC from that one infected file which was supposed to be kernel wipe. I have performed full scan using nod32 antivirus and housecall antivirus. Now it seems to be at 90 percent OK except browsers in which is not possible to change homepage.
[General Topics] Samuelgentl:
I understand now and I will be more cautious next time
[General Topics] PalmCentro:

[General Topics] levio:
There is this danger if I download from xda?
[General Topics] Darth:
You need to use common sense and good judgment with anything you download online. Even links that members use on XDA.

And if they upload something to XDA directly, it's a safe direct download.

Members choose their download host.... XDA tries to be sure those links are safe... But Moderators can't be everywhere.... So we rely on members to report anything suspicious.

But again, common sense, good judgement, an ad blocker, pop up blocker and virus scanner are all good ideas when downloading anything on the net. But at the end of the day, we are all responsible for what we flash or install, and where we download from....at our own risk. That's how it is in this hobby. :good:
[General Topics] Darth:
I also think the OP has got his explanation. No need to beat a dead horse. ;)

Thread closed now.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
Yes, just keep in mind that the spinning android takes a while if you factory reset

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crkdslider:
Are you going back to stock ROM, or a custom ROM? I went from Chroma ROM to M and then just flashed Chroma ROM again in TWRP and all was good.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
i flashed android M bootloader and radio and rom, now I want to go back to stock VZW radio/bootloader, and t-mobile 5.1.1 rom. (verizon hasnt posted theirs yet).

edit;

i flashed android M on my device using adb fastboot flash, device is fully stock unlocked atm but all updated to android m stuff.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
I have VZW coming from android M and I want to flash 5.1.1 Z build seeing how its the latest....... (international), however I want to stay on vzw bootloader and radio from (5.1.0), can I pull those files out of that zip and adb fastboot flash them with the 5.1.1 instead?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't know if it is possible. In would leave it alone if I were you.

Adb and fastboot are 2 different things. You use fastboot for this, not adb.

I did suggest in your other thread if you remember, to only flash the system and boot image, leaving your bootloader alone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
I reverted back without issue
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The bootloader? Thats good to know. If you downgrade 5.1 to 5.0 Bootloader, you were almost pretty much bricked. It was brave of you to try knowing that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
Well I did both actually, I flash 5.0.1 first through fastboot, then stupidly locked the Boot loader. Then I got a spinning android when I went to boot and thought I screwed up. Then I tried to unlock the Boot loader and the screen froze on the unlock selection. I rebooted and it happen to be unlocked to I was saved! Then I flashed 5.1, and got the spinning android again. I finally decided to wait and sure enough after 8 minutes the android spinning stopped and everything booted normally.

For some reason though when I relocked my boot loader it wiped my data again so I guess unlock and relock wipe data now not just unlock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Did both what, sorry?

Locking wipes, correct.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
I tried to flash 5.0.1 first then 5.1

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

I actually flashed 5.0.1 then locked my BL and thought I almost bricked because I saw the spinning android and didn't know it wipes on relock. So I reboot while the spinning android was going and tried to unlock BL again and the screen froze after I choose unlock. So I waited the held power for 5 seconds and booted to BL and it was unlocked! Then I finally figured out locking wipes and let the spinning android spin after flashing 5.1 D.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh ok, sorry I was getting confused. Upgrading is fine. Can't downgrade from 5.1 (BL)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
I don't remember what happened when I flashed the 5.0.1 BL maybe it failed to flash. I know I tried and that's the boot loader that froze on unlock. I immediately flashed 5.1 after without booting up or anything

This is a NEXUS phone built by Motorola. It is not A Verizon phone built by Motorola. You can downgrade your bootloader.

Kernel : 3.4.0

with safestrap installed

And I wanted to help my uncle with giving him a new rom but I have failed and he's sort of mad.... But I followed everything... Let me start off the story with which rom I started to flash.

Okay, so I wanted to flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301724

and before I flashed it, it told me I needed to follow this: [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868]

"If you are on 4.3 rom, you must update your base to the NC5 Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware before flashing this rom: Please READ and follow the thread by Surge HERE to do so! :"

And flashing the .zip files went good but when I hit the odin and try to select the AP/CP/ whatever it won't recognize the .md5 and then I did research and found that if you remove the .md5 and just have .tar should work but doesn't.... It will not display in the direction menu at all!! & I even directed it.(example: C:/destop/file.tar) and then that worked but when I pressed start it failed right away...

I've done all the research I could do for about 4 hours or more now and I'm going crazy I need PEOPLE who can HELP me because I'm really fed up.... If I can just even get it past the verizon screen I'd be happy! thanks!

EDIT:

I GOT IT NVM!!! I would like to tell you what you got to do though if it is messed up..

I added a folder on the desktop then took the full url of the file: C:\Users\User\Desktop\APP and then pasted it to the odin and it saw the .tar file!!!! PRAISE GOD!!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do OEM packages from different wm6 kitchens work interchangeably? I've been experimenting with the CORE Kitchen, however it seems like from time to time when I add in some of the OEM packages that are floating around the forum for wm6, I can find their checkbox in BuildOS, however during the process I constantly get an error message. (Most notably, when I try to use the OEM packages from the HTC Touch that are found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311225)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Well, basically its as you're finding...

Many of them can be interchanged, and many of them can't. Sometimes packages have been extracted and combined and so problems can occur when another kitchen or cook has packed them differently. Some kitchens or kitchen makers expect an options.xml file in the package to provide the "checkbox", others don't bother with it. The thread you're pointing to is extracting packages from a newly released device, and they are still in the process of refining what should be in the packages and what does not need to be. This is complicated even further by the fact that the device has different hardware than the Wizard. You'll need to work with it awhile to get a feel for all the issues involved. Hope this helped.

Regards,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
I've actually pulled two OEM packages from the WWE AKU 3.3 ROM and bastardized them to run on WM6. That's all they did anyway in porting WM6 to the Wizard. I've pulled the Office 2007 package from the 1413 build to use in the 318 build and it worked with a new .rgu file. Like Ed said, it's a crapshoot sometimes, (paraphrase), but you have to know what you're doing.

Hello, I just installed CM on my S3 via the one-click install. Now I have problems powering off or rebooting my phone. I select "Reboot" from the power menu, and click OK. Then it hangs displaying the "Reboot phone" window, displaying the busy animation and saying "Rebooting...". Power off does much the same thing. Is there any solution to my problem? I have to take the battery out to shut the phone down. Once turned off, it starts up just fine.

Sometimes, though, the phone restarts properly. I don't know what would make the difference.

Hi everyone,

New GS6 user here (got it like an hour ago :) ), and my initial impressions are very very positive (switched from an iPhone 6).

But, the one thing I've noticed during my time with the phone, when I'm watching a Youtube video (720p, 1080p) I notice a certain lag with video playback. The video loads pretty quickly (no buffering or any of that stuff) and it is definitely not fluid as on the iPhone, maybe a more accurate description would be "dropped frames", but it is very noticable to me.

So I just wanted to ask is this normal? Phone's software is 5.0.2. currently and other than this minor thing with the Youtube app, I really don't have any complaints.

Hope you don't mind me oppening the thread because of this.

Thank you for the help.
