I guess we can't until sprint lovers makes a new ron. I think the way to root has changed in this version
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
I rooted a friends G2 yesterday with terminal and it worked perfect, no problems. I'm trying it on mine today, did everything exactly the same but terminal keeps saying it can not open wpthis-OTA.ko when doing insmod /data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko.

I think terminal can't read the files. I have them in /data/local so I don't understand what is wrong. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
I would re-download the file and try again. Its supposed to give you an error, but I don't remember which one.

Goodluck
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Yeah I've re-downloaded them like 5 times lol.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Are you temp rooted?

[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Yes
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
Have you tried the new VISIONary?

Not sure what else it might be. Can try an updated version of BusyBox. Use the problems button from within Titanium, to dl busybox.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
Here are the Steps I took to convert the data folder to ext 2. I'm sure we can do more folders but I'm unable to write (anyone?) the update scripts.

Start with a fresh install of Team Whiskey's Rom

Goto to the I9000 thread and follow the instruction on uploading a kernel to be repacked.

I selected all the check marks before re packing and downloaded the new kernel.

Download the ext2 update zip from the thread. Rename the zip file to update.zip.

Grab the kernel(tar file) you downloaded from the site and use odin to install.

After booting back up rename the z4mod.ext2.update zip file to update.zip.

Reboot into clockwork and apply update.zip

After booting back up your data file should now be ext2.

To check use terminal emulator our adb and type mount. The data line should now say ext2 instead of rfs.

Note: When I tryed to use the ext2 update zip file without renaming to update.zip it did not work. I continuously recieved SD mount errors.

I can't stress enough to read the topic in the I9000 development thread titled z4mod breaking free from rfs(link below) so you understand what you are doing and the process that is required.

My instruction does not detail that whole process. I'm not responsible for you or what you do by following this brief instruction.

Very Snappy after this mod. Absolutely no issues for me.

Quadrant = 1700

Enjoy!!!

Credit goes to RyanZA and the z4ziggy ; not me.

Source: [z4mod] Breaking free from RFS [Stage II - version 0.3 Alpha - With online patcher!]

Files I used to get this to work.

zImage.tar (The Zimage I used to repack was taken out of Obsidian V2. (DO NOT USE THIS FOR IMAGE FOR ANY OTHER ROM THAN OBSIDIAN V2)

Also, XDA does not allow uploads of tar files so I compressed the tar into a zip format. Make sure you extract this file and use the .tar file within Odin.

Update.zip - This file was downloaded from the I9000 Z4Mod Thread entitled z4mod.ext2.update.zip. All I did was renamed to update.zip which for some reason allows this conversion process to take place.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
I would highly suggest posting links to the threads you refer to as well as any files you have available. Good post though, I plan on using this.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Thanks - 1632 Quadrant on Onyx 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Does your kernel have the stock or clockwork recovery? Easy way to check is do adb reboot recovery. If it goes into clockwork then the stock recovery was replaced.
[Vibrant Android Development] Greenarcher707:
The file you attached is ready to use or do we need to repack?
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
Ready to use.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
I'm using cwm. But I could not use "select zip option" you can try it though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Bugger, from what I know ClockworkMod has some compatibility issues with JK2 unless the version that z4build uses is compatible.
[Vibrant Android Development] Xencer:
Great, this broke busybox. Now I'm in 2.2 w/o root...
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Use Titanium Backup to fix busybox.
[Vibrant Android Development] funkyu00:
Is there one for ext4?
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
Seconded. It'd be great to get /dbdata, /cache, /system onto ext4 too (I thought that was the main benefit of z4mod?)
[Vibrant Android Development] blinksilver:
Unlikely as the kernel does not support Ext4.

Also, to anyone who has tried this: Is the kernel from the op already patched? I tried throwing it into the the online patcher and the patcher just spit out a message informing me that what I uploaded was already patch. However, when I jump into recovery, I get recovery 2e and not clockwork, which leads me to believe otherwise.

Perhaps odin did not actually install it?
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:
how did u boot into clockwork? 3 button or through rom manger? it doesnt work for me with three button still says can not mount
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
hoipefully someone adds to the script so it can convert more partitions.
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
How did you get into Clockwork recovery if you replaced the update.zip file the stock recovery uses to get into it?
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
I booted through RomManager. It gave the little green Android dude with the download box and got right into recovery. Working great so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
Yes, I figured out that the Z4 patch kernel replaces the stock recovery with clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] jmart211in:
the way this phone is set up has the recovery image packaged with the kernel in the file called zImage. when u use the z4mod to modify that zImage file, the website unpacks the whole zImage file, does its thing with the kernel modding, and now (i say now because this is a newer feature) replaces the standard 2e recovery with clockwork recovery. when you flash the zImage, whether repackaged in a rom or as a tar in odin, the new clockwork recovery is flashed to '/system/bin/recovery' replacing the 2e recovery. i have confirmed this by running the command 'recovery' from terminal while booted after flashing a z4modded kernel. i do not recommend trying to run recovery while booted as the phones display started going crazy.

the problem with having clockwork mod as the primary recovery is the fact that there is a major issue with mounting both the internal sd and external sd (even one at a time as well as both together) as clcokwork mod reports it doesnt recognize device at 'mmcblk0' or 1 when clockworkmod recovery is the primary recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
That's why I backed out of it and went back to the stock kernel - that and the fact there was a weird flicker at the top of the screen when booting.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
i tried both, the zip and the TAR. Neither works im still on RFS, yes im on OBSIDIAN v2...
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
Everything worked but now I can't copy any files to sdcard nor can I use root explorer? anyone have this problem
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
wft now root explorer isnt working for me... God I knew I should have just left **** alone lol Everything was perfect...

GOD DAMN FUKING MODSSSSS
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Do not flash this kernal people>>>> it will fubar your **** all up and doesnt even work>>>>
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
lol was thinking the same exact thing
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Sorry for your luck & sure glad I didn't flash. This is one time where I'll wait for the bugs to get worked out.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Im not mad at OP, hes posting something cool. Im mad at myself for not waiting to see results from other people. I find myself jumping the gun too much when I dont need too. **** perfect on my phone and I had to go and F it up by flashing a fresh mod that hasnt been tested much.... MY FAULT COMPLETELY..

Just another learning lesson for me to wait..

Yea dont flash, also clockwork mod wont flash zip files, it cant mount to the sd, my quadrant was the same, rsf was still there and now I got to ODIN back to JFD, then root, then flash to obsidian v2, then run my backup and leave my **** alone..

Min. 1 hour of waisted life now...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
this is a mod that is best done b4 installing programs

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:
Nah just odin back stock kernel and all should be fine. If not then you are missing root. Just use oclf and root again
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
should have dont that damn. Already ODINed to JFD. Ill just hurry up, root, install rom manager, flash obsidian and run my backup...

NOTE TO SELF> Only flash **** from BIONIX, and if its running good, leave it alonnnnnnnnnne, and dont be a tester
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
Having the same issue as smashpunks but mines actually converted to EXT2 can I odin over this or... I cant flash any zips in clockwork or convert it back to RFS
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
yea you can odin over.. Try just the Kernal stock 2.2 kernal like said before.

Cause I flashed JFD through odin and it keeps rebooting at the S screen, so I had to then go into clockworks and flash obsidian. Worked fine so no biggie but id try the kernal first....

Wierd, never changed mine to EXT2... HMMM.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
flashed installed...does not worked, now i've lost root...doh!
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
Where can I download the 2.2 stock kernel do you know?
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
ditto, the rfs to ext2 zip ran, but it took just a couple of seconds. Now my mounts are off. The revert file did not work either so Odin it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Dude - I know just what u mean. I can't wait for the latest and greatest to come and and I've always "flashed" that **** too quickly also. Then I end up Odin'ng back,starting over again and again - sometimes I wanna kick my own ass for it.

*Yes* - I'm grateful too for the Dev's and guys who put this stuff out too, but I hope I can restrain myself and the newest stuff til it's proven a little at least.....but prolly not ;)

Sorry for the long rant - goood luck!
[Vibrant Android Development] Xencer:
I used the one click root to get root back, however, the adb didn't work.

I just copied the root.zip to the internal sdcard and renamed to update.zip

Reboot into stock recovery and do reinstall packages.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
Sorry you guys are having problems, its been running great for me. It did not run well though until I flashed this directly after a fresh install if the rom.

I only shared this cause it worked for me, I definitely did not intend to waste anyones time.

Good luck with you recovery back to rfs. ;)

Take care
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
ttabbal just posted a converted JK2 kernel over in the other Z4 thread. He said he compiled it using the git source code. Check it out here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822964&page=25

The kernel flashed fine though I have not tried converting yet... but I attached a flashable zip of it. [removed]

Update: I'm taking the plunge and running the script to convert /data, /dbdata, and /cache to ext... will report...

Update2: Conversion did not work. Got to the playlogo and after 5 minutes started vibrating every 30 seconds. I rebooted into recovery and was greeted by a barrage of errors. Doesn't look like the convert back worked either. Might be time to bust out Odin... lol

Update3: Conversion back to RFS worked. Restoring nandroid now. Good luck with this guys...
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
I'm not sure why you guys are having so many issues. I did this flawlessly. User error perhaps.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
No worries, it would have been cool and still could be if you get it to work... Like I said we all know the consequences to flashing things, I appreciate people like you and the others posting this stuff... I'll just let the others test first...:D
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
No need to be sorry. If I wanted to play it safe I'd stick to the garbage TMO gave us:)
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
Ditto!

I ended up reinstalling oclf and re-rooted...all is well again...su is mine!
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
;)

I just wish we could have froyo and no rfs on our phones.

Glad you all made it back to your original setups. I'll stick to this until some other file system fix comes along.

I'm sure ttabbal is working on a sweet little kernel for us.

Take care guys,
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
Just installed this onto Onyx 2.2. Hope it works.

Edit: It installed fine. The OS it seemingly working. However I have lost root rights. Whenever an app requests for superuser permissions it sits there forever. Never actually asks for root. I reflashed the update.zip and still having the same problem. What does do?

I installed OCLF from the market and "rooted" my device again. It works. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Thanks again bro for trying .... You take care as well..
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
Glad to see that OCLF helped someone else... I didn't wanna try to recreate the situation to test it...haha.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
This is a flashable (via Clockwork) zip of the stock Sense kernel for the Vision. It will work on any of the Vision-based phones (G2, DesireZ, etc) but you must be running Sense UI.

Details

Stock kernel binary, nothing touched: 2.6.32.21-gd2764ed

Ramdisk modified with the following:

Property changes: ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=1

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

Support for /system/etc/init.d scripts.

Conservative and powersave governor modules (loaded automatically on startup). These are not active unless selected, which is why they are loaded.

Overclocking module included, not loaded automatically.

Kineto kernel module included (needed for wifi calling).

CIFS module included.

User Impact (i.e. What does this do for me?)

When using "adb shell", you'll immediately be given a root prompt as opposed to having to "su" first.

"adb remount" works and will remount /system "rw".

You can "adb push" or "adb pull" from any location on the system, once you've remounted.

adb runs during boot up, to help diagnose any issues after applying a change (new kernel, mod, etc).

Mock locations are enabled.

Ability to select 2 additional power governors in SetCPU.

Support for CIFS mounts using supported apps (i.e. Astro).

Support for WiFi calling, assuming other support libs/apps are present.

Disclaimer

As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.

Download Kernel
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drumsforjs:
Fifth haha lol. Dude awesome job on the sense port thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hiko36:
Yes. I'm upset you said first because this is supposed to be a serious forum. I posted to point that out. Apparently no one else agrees with me but whatever.

To the OP, thank you for the kernel that I'm sure a number of people are looking for. Sorry for jacking your thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] haensgn:
not a rom its a kernel, thx OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Thanks dev I appreciate your work towards Sense UI. Does anyone mind telling me what this kernel will be good for? It says stock Sense, so does that mean, its like the stock kernel but on sense? or that its the desire z kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I presume it's a modified version of the DZ kernel, because the G2 doesn't come with Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Ok, so what exactly do the modifications offer to the end user?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yggdrasil:
What does this do?

I think by isntalling this kernel it will give you perma root in the rom on a g2.

meaning that root wont get wiped out after reboot.

Even though the emmc is set to s-off the kernel might not have been aware of that.

If i get a bit of time i will give it a shot.

been running the desire rom for a day since i like sense but i noticed i didnt have root even though i could flash stuff (recovery) and hboot was still the eng.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
I could be wrong but does the OP refer to setting ro.secure=0 to disable the wp on /system?

so far even though we are perm rooted with an s-off bootloader /system is still set to ro, at least it is for me.

Can someone confirm or deny and explain.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fryrice8850:
what is this? is this desire z with root?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hgmarcia:
Went back to stock with cyanogen baconbits....it drained too much battery too quick for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Here's a rundown of visible changes:

When using "adb shell", you'll immediately be given a root prompt as opposed to having to "su" first.

"adb remount" will remount system "rw".

You can "adb push" or "adb pull" from any location on the system, once you've remounted.

adb runs during boot up, to help diagnose any issues after applying a change (new kernel, mod, etc).

Mock locations are enabled.

You can drop shell scripts into /system/etc/init.d, which are executed at the end of the boot process automatically.

I'll update the OP with this list.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Updated to include several more kernel modules, still the original binary. Check the original post for details.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
so.... how do I load the OC-module? :D Thanks for the kernel :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Soaa-:
Do you have a public repo I can get the source from? I'd love to compile it with the interactive governor as well, and perhaps BFS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scotolsen:
yeah i second this. i'm kind of scratching my head here...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
To oc you have to:

Insmod /system/lib/modules/z_oc.ko

To get the conservative and powersave scalings you must do an insmod for cpufreq_conservative.ko and cpufreq_powersave.ko in the same folder...

It only oc to 1ghz though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Those are actually loaded for you automatically via initscript in /system/etc/init.d and custom ramdisk which is included with this kernel.

See this thread for more info on the OC module:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813681

Only difference you need to consider from the directions in that thread is the OC module is located in /system/lib/modules rather than /data/local. It will clock all the way up to 1.42ghz if you dare (I don't).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
Oki... I just saw that those two weren't in setcpu, and got them loaded by insmod. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] boygame:

I am in a bit of a pickle. I'm one of the unfortunate souls who's brand new Evo doesn't take kindly to flashing. I am rooted and running sprintlovers Rom, but would like to try some overclock goodness, not to mention having the framerate unlocked. My thought is that, though I can't flash anything from recovery (when you try to flash anything, it just bootloops right back into recovery when you restart), I may be able to flash an OC'd kernel through fastboot. I looked into how to do this myself, but it still seems a bit over my head. Is there a kind soul out there who would make me a boot.img out of either or both of these???
