Well I'm very pro-RTFM guy and I actually saw the video tutorial before updating the kernel, so I clicked on 'apply modules' button every time I tried to flash. I'm glad to hear that other people's DHD works fine when applying the zip kernel and I'm glad that I found the solution to flash mine. BTW the kernel is amazing! 80% after 12 hours with 3g, WiFi and bt on. True, I didn't use it that much today but still...
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
I eat up my battery and its not a surprise that it empties quick. But I tried the 1.0.6 and kamma's latest and to me they both have the same effect. If I recall, kamma's doesn't work too well on non sense roms :) now I'm getting average of 50 flops in linpack :) will upload image of url ASAP

[Desire HD General] Software Guru:
Thanks for the tip, will give it a go
[Desire HD General] spookamiester:
Thanks guys

Just want to thank everyone in this thread for the questions and answers. After having a good read through I managed to get everything right first time with no issues and didn't even have to ask. My DHD is flying and Quadrant Benchmark is looking Great.

:D
[Desire HD General] cenedra:
hi everyone.

I just flashed this buzz kernel. I understand this kernel will overclock the CPU. Do i need to manually set the min and max CPU clockspeed, or does the kernel does it automatically?

Thanks :)
[Desire HD General] Nadeo4441:
download setcpu and start it, it sets the maximum to 1228MHZ automatically
[Desire HD General] cedriccheah:
Hi,

I just updated Buzz Kernel v1.0.6 using kernel update utility.

WIFI unable to use as MAC address not available.

I installed SetCPU v2.1.0, but not sure how to proceed for DHD.

I read the article abt SetCPU but still quite blur.

at Main tab, I set Scaling to ondemand but no matter which one I choose, it only able set max 1024.

I did Perflock Disabler but still the same.

Anyone mind to share the lights?

At Advance Tab:

I leave it default-

Sample Rate-50000

Up Threshold-95

Ignore Nice load-0

Powersave Bias-0

In Profile, I set:

Screen Off:

Max-768000

Min-245760

Scaling-ondemand

Priority-50

Is this kind of setting recommended?

My DHD info:

Stock ROM Build 1.32.707.5

Buzz Kernel v1.0.6
[Desire HD General] dxdestiny:
To save your battery, its better to set max 368 min 245 for screen off
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
why not max 245?
[Desire HD General] xp79:
Interested in this for the extended battery life, can anyone comment on it?
[Desire HD General] :
need help... everything seems to work perfectly.. all the steps executed correctly.. however there isn't any change in the kernel under the software information.. what am i doing wrong??
[Desire HD General] :
Sorry FYI, I'm using the kernel update utility..
[Desire HD General] Crimson_Moon79:
Hi all, I too ran into the same problem for the WiFi not working, I tried both MrYuiM & tkolev ways of flashing it but still couldn't get the WiFi to run again. Any other ideas I can try ??

Edit : O.k, got it fix, in my case for some reason, the WiFi has to be turn off while your flashing the kernel. Luckly I did a backup with Rom Manager before I 1st flash the kernel, so i just restore from the backup & turn off the WiFi then flash it again, now everything's working fine. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] dxdestiny:
Because by using 345 as max, my music would stutter at some points so i had to make it higher for the max value. Maybe thats just me. haha

I have android revolution hd 2.0.7 with kernel buzz_1.1.4-2.Can i move on 1.0.6??And how?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
1.0.6 unfortunately isn't compatible with the latest 1.72 firmware and this includes both the latest keedroid and revolution roms

by the way I'm running stock kernel in 1.72

its fast and never lags seems HTC improved its code

my settings

screen on: ondemand min 368 max 1017

screen off: ondemand min 245 max 368

music never stutters when the screen off, stock music player
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
hi mate. how did you manage to go back to the stock kernel? did you restore a nandroid or is there a link floating around here for stock kernel? I need it because these custom ones don't play nice with my DHD's CPU apparently.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
yo ill upload it for you tomorrow, right now I'm away from my pc

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
thanks dude. but i must say i think we've found a solution over in the buzz thread about the problems some of us have been having.. so i think i'll be sticking with buzz for now. The smartass govenor is the culprit to the random reboots and force closes. I just set it to ondemand and so far all is well.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
interactive is always best for me, i don't know if it has problems with the latest buzz kernels
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i never knew what exactly interactive does. Could you explain what it does?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
What is the 'Interactive' CPU Governor:
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
thanks mate, understand it much better now. I thought i would give it a try after reading that but it looks like buzz doesnt have that governor lol. And i was getting my hopes up to :p
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
weird it was there in previous buzz kernel, maybe because its a patched kernel
[Desire HD General] umiss:
So I see some of you were talking about "going back to stock kernel of 1.72".

My question, as I am running 1.72.405.3 (unrooted), is there any improvement to get by switching kernel as proposed or should I just skip rooting for now?
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Just came across this thread and I have to agree. I have been running v1.0.6 for pretty much since it was released, with stock ROM. Same setup with interactive as it seems to be flawless. To me this reallt seems to be the perfect setup, so far. If only Apache14 would use the 1.0.6 OCUV and work on it for any future versions this would be perfect (especially if we could apply the camera fix

only

from update 1.72)

Haven't been too bothered about upgrading to latest 1.72 as my device is amazing with the 1.0.6 OCUV kernel.
[Desire HD General] gabrielfx:
WiFi usage about 100 mA

I rooted my phone, S-Off and installed the recommended kernel 1.0.6. All seems to be working fine, no problems. Even the wifi. If wifi is off I have a comsumption shown in curent widget of about 3ma(screen off), which is great.

But, if I leave the wifi on, and turn the screen off, current widget shows a current consumption of about 100mA. I've read a lot of threads and I'm going crazy. What in the world could keep my wifi busy?!?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
for those running firmware 1.72.405.3, buzz kernel 1.2.2 is amazing

i've updated the OP and included some needed files
[Desire HD General] markerpen:
What do you recommend to use for screen off to screen on? i am using smartass. And for normal usage, the suggested governor to use is "interactive"?
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Smartass is fine. It's actually the bastard offspring of interactive and adds the feature of automatically reducing clock speed when the screen is off. You don't really need setcpu profiles anymore.

-----

Someone Swyped my idea.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
like said smartass is similar to interactive but rewritten to try and save battery whenever possible, its more efficient but it can be slower to react then interactive governor in certain situations

if you choose the best possible performance go for interactive and add a sleep profile like min 245mhz and max 422mhz conservative governor

if you prefer more battery saving go for smartass and disable sleep profiles since its built in within the smartass governor
[Wildfire General] Fei_Fong_Wong:
Hey All,

I think I have bricked my Lil Bro's Wildfire it only boots to HBOOT. I can get into psfmod recovery but when I flash any new ROMS it boots straight back to HBOOT/Fastboot menu.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Edit 1: Just in case anyone is having this problem you can find the RUU files here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz

They haven't worked for me but that doesn't mean they wont for you.

Edit 2: I managed to fix this fault by using the update.zip included in a pack named r1-buzz-root.zip (Google it and you should find it pretty easy). Just flash it using any Recovery tool i.e Clockwork Mod or psfmod.

Thanks to all who tried to help me.
[Wildfire General] sdevos13:
Did you tryed to flash a RUU Rom already?

Download one @ shipped roms.
[Wildfire General] Fei_Fong_Wong:
Just tried one and got an error. Customer ID fail.
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
what did you do with your phone before it "bricked"??

Had you flashed anything?! .. or tried to root?..or anything else?!

Did the phone work well with the original stock rom?
[Wildfire General] Fei_Fong_Wong:
The phone worked fine. I used Unrevoked to flash psfmod to the phone and the first rom seemed to take. I noticed the touch screen was unresponsive so tried to restore a nandriod backup. Then the phone just started looping back to HBOOT.
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
i have searched for psfmod, and found ... it's a play station 3 hack utility?!

..and it seems .. it doesn't supports Wildfire :/

http://www.ps3-hacks.com/2010/10/14...eedom-recovery-mod-for-select-android-phones/

..am i right!?

is it possible to wipe factory sets, and cache ... or anything in recovery?
[Wildfire General] Fei_Fong_Wong:
The psfmod recovery installed was for Wildfire. It's on thier download page. I don't understand why I can flash ROMS but once it's finished it just boots HBOOT/Fastboot.

I got a question, once I get the phone, do I have to root it and stuff first and get that backup manager thingie? then start flashing the ROM and stuff?

thanks
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Cognition us built on froyo leaks with improvements

Assonace, perception and a couple others are built on i900 base froyo but optimized for the Captivate

Axura is based off of a Vibrant leak but is solid

I would suggest reading the threads in captivate development and finding what you feel comfortable with.

I am currently using assonance and axura, obviously not at the same time but going back and forth

To do a backup you will need to root but you do not need to root to flash roms
[Captivate General] nappent:
If you plan on flashing your phone with a custom rom. I would suggest getting insurance or make sure you only do it within the 30 day return policy. It's nice to have insurance incase something goes wrong and your brick it.

Also make sure you get a case. This is typically the best one to go with. http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Captivate-Commuter-Series-Case/SAM4-CAPVA,default,pd.html?dwvar_SAM4-CAPVA_color=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-captivate-cases
[Captivate General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
thanks

thanks!!
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
All I can say is to go through the different ROM threads, look at the screen shots,get a feel for the thread itself and check out the change logs. One of the most important things is to ensure you are happy and that the ROM you choose is one that will do you good. Keep in mind you can always flash back to stock and choose a different one.

PS. I am the dev of Axura and it is blazing fast, GPS works great and the animations are to die for.

Have fun on the Captivate.
[Captivate General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
thanks alot for the input!

i'm dying to get my phone now!!

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
But does it have root? Bad reading.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Absolutely. But no busybox. So if you plan to enable JIT, you have to copy busybox to /system/bin by yourself.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
of course it is rooted.

now we know what to do with unyaffs.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] csengoi:
2 things:

1. I've bought the phone with 1.6 android, but I was unable to root it with any method, then I've upgraded to 2.1 update 1. Is there any way to root it?

2. I have Hungarian language. Does it contain Hungarian language?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
1: There is no way to directly root a phone with 2.1. You need to go back to 1.6, root it and then follow the above steps.

2: I guess so. As far as I know the firmware is the same for all countries.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gpolydoros:
Works like a charm! I removed the /system folder contents one by one though, using the method from the previous thread. Anyway, the first time I tried, unyaffs exited before extracting all the files (maybe the phone ran out of memory?). I didn't notice it and went on to flash the phone, ending up stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. So, make sure that unyaffs reports that it has reached the "end of image" before moving on to the next step!

Thanks!!

cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox invalid lenght

how to proceed?:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
in adb shell:

enter su and you have to look your mobile screen because it will ask you to allow su. (if you rooted well your phone)

i had this problem when i didn't press the allow button in superuser confirmation. :)

cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox invalid lenght

cat /sdcard/unyaffs > unyaffs invalid lenght
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] WARR10r:
does it mount data.img on sdcard???

or i'll need to use chargemon from previous way?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
This has nothing to do with App2SD. Also the ROM gets loaded from internal flash, not from sdcard. The result is the same as with the official update, but with root.

If you want to have /data on sdcard, use the modified chargemon or neptun2's method.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gully666uk:
I'm totally new to android but somehow i managed to get to number 8, and I have no idea how to switch to busybox shell, can somebody explain this bit in lamens terms please.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sectoras:
try adding ./ before
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
You should still be in "/data/local/tmp" as the working directory (check with "pwd"-command). If you followed the steps correctly, you should have a working busybox-file in there. So just type "busybox sh". If it looks like it does nothing, it's all right :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
try to use another su. i rooted my x8 with superoneclick 1.5.0
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sectoras:
I got stuck at SE logo for at least 10mins, it doesnt re-boot cycle although..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
That's way too long, something isn't right there. To start over again you have to flash back to 1.6.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gully666uk:
Ok I had not realised the superuser permissions was not popping up on my phone that's sorted now. I get to number 8 again and it said permission denied
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
It says "permission denied" when entering "busybox sh"? Then you probably didn't chmod it correctly before: "chmod 755 busybox". Also I hope you entered "su" at first.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sectoras:
Sweet, it worked. I also followed one by one commands deleting /system
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] vegasphinx:
Thanks, it works! A little note , don't insert your sim card when doing this, or you'll get error on deleting /system (happens to me, yes I'm a noob ><)

And sorry for not giving thanks, cause the thanks button don't show up on my browser ><..

You can get it from

or

http://pashkovsky.com/x8/x8-2.1-rus.rar
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Please ask here. This is an issue with root and has nothing to do with this topic.

i don't know. but when ./ is not written, it says not found.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
$ su
su
# cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/local/tmp/busybox
cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/local/tmp/busybox
# cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
# chmod 755 busybox
chmod 755 busybox
# busybox sh
busybox sh
/data/local/tmp #

Works fine here. But just to make it absolutely sure that it works for everybody, I will edit the first post.

EDIT: Damn, you could be right! When I just type "busybox" I think it uses the busybox I have at /system/bin/busybox. I still think it should work anyway, but "./" makes sure it uses the file in the current directory, not another one in the PATH-variable.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sectoras:
Your operating system?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Win7 x64, but that surely doesn't matter, because adb shell is merely a "remote control" for your android device. It has nothing to do with your local OS.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gully666uk:
When I use x10 flasher with that kernel it said file loader.sin not found skip, sorry for all the questions i have no idea what i'm doing to be honest.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Yeah, I had this problem, too. Just copy the loader.sin from the 1.6 firmware to your 2.1 firmware.

And don't be ashamed to ask as many questions as you like. It may help others.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abefly:
i believe that is a right way to have a clean rooted x8

but i followed the steps and when i reboot the x8, it stop in the se logo

i will try it again.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gully666uk:
Mine also got stuck at the logo.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
It can take a few minutes at the logo (with the green ball after the boot animation).

I am sure this method works. It's basicly the same as with the X8 custom ROM, which took me 3 tries before it worked. But with the clean ROM in this topic it worked at first try for me.

Also, if it doesn't work for you it could be a good idea to show us the contents of your "adb shell"-window, so I could spot a possible problem.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:
thank you very very much. it's works for me, but only then i did "If it should be important to copy busybox and unyaffs to /sbin, then you have to use busybox to remount /sbin as writable:". but all wonerfull. now i got a rooted 2.1
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
Where i need to paste this commands?

Sorry for this stupid quastion.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
You have to connect to your phone with "adb.exe" by entering "adb.exe shell" to a command line. You can use the adb.exe provided with SuperOneClick.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sectoras:
You have to copy loader.sin from 1.6 firm and paste it to 2.1

yes, it's rooted. and nothing else changed
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abefly:
i did it exactly as that way, did it all over again 4 times, still stop at SE logo.

i give up.

what if i use this x8rooted.img, change the old one(former thread), and do it like former thread ?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Won't work. x8rooted.img is in yaffs-filesystem. x8.img from the other thread is in ext2. You can't mount the x8rooted.img using adb (as far as i know). If you are using linux on your computer you can create a new ext2-image and use a linux-build of "unyaffs" to extract the x8rooted.img to a new ext2-image, which can then be used instead of the x8.img.

But if you still can't do it with the way I provided, then it could be helpful to show me the log of your adb shell-session.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abefly:
yes, you were right, i did it use the old thread, before watch you reply.

i will do it again and show you the pic.

thanks for the concerning.
