is it the boot.img-kernel do i need to rename to zimage?

or is it in the boot.img-ramdisk??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
ramdisk and zimage are in the boot.img just read the link I gave you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl:
it talks about turn it back in to an img file but i want to make a flashable zip with zimage that why i just need the zimage

so after i unpacked the boot.img i dont see anything call zimage so is it called something else

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl:
so do i just rename it and add it the zip?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Your initial post asked how to extract the zImage. I showed you how to do that and change the name in the shell. What are you asking now? If its how to create a zip google "any kernel updater"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl:
its the same post... i asked how you extract the zimge cuz i didnt see it in the unpacked boot.img

sorry i guess i should have said its unpacked but dont see anything called zimage...

but in a later post i asked if the boot.img-kernel i saw just needed to be renamed to zimage..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Yes I attached the entire shell commands to get there. As well as the split_boot python script. Alls you have to do is run that script and rename to zImage and pull any modules /system/lib/modules/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl:
so i have to run script its just cant be renamed .. i was under the impression it could just be re-named ...

sorry for any misunderstanding
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Yes just rename the file if you used the "split" script.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karl:
ok heres a another dumb question if i used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to unpack the boot is that the same as using the split script ?

Честита Нова Година
[G2 and Desire Z General] reedcusa:
First I want to thank all from this site for all the work you've done!

OK, got a G2 few days ago rooted it using rage method, updated radio to 26.04.02.17 (read that solved some problems with cyanogen's 6.1.1 ROM), installed 6.1.1 ROM and all was well... Then I decided to upgrade hboot (for no particular reason) to 0.85.005 with fastboot. After install it rebooted and noticed I now have SHIP S-ON ...and it wouldn't boot..got stuck on HTC splash screen. So I say oops...pull battery and go into recovery and do a restore to a rooted stock ROM. Was successful but was hoping it would give me root back but no joy. Then tried to install 6.1.1 from ROM manager but no joy. (no surprise with S_ON) So I'm wondering:

Why did hboot update change it to S-ON?

Why didn't my restore restore S_OFF? ( thought restore re-wrote everything)

AND..where do I go from here? Should I just use rage again to get root?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Again, thanks to all!!

Edit: OK just realized I still have root access threw terminal emulator???

How can this be with S-ON??

So I guess I still have root so I tried to install cyogen 6.1.1 from sd card using revovery.

all seems to go well, says its complete but when I reboot, it gets stuck on HTC splash screen

Also tried gfree and this method http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29

got to 2nd to last command:

# /data/local/tmp/root

and get

# mkdir failed for /system/xbin, file exists

Anyone??
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That sounds like the stock *DZ* hboot, not the G2 one. If so, you're lucky you didn't brick your phone. I wouldn't switch hboots between DZ/G2 unless you were flashing the whole ROM.

The fact that it's a stock one explains why you have S-ON, if you only had S-OFF via the eng hboot before.

What you need to do is run gfree, as you say, to get proper radio S-OFF.

S-ON/S-OFF has nothing to do with root. So you can still be S-ON and have root.

If you did a nandroid restore through Clockwork then as far as I'm aware that doesn't include a restore/backup of hboot.

You won't be able to flash another custom ROM/recovery until you get S-OFF back again.

That "mkdir" error message is normal, just ignore it. But gfree doesn't work with CM 6.1.1. It will work on 6.1 but there are some incompatible kernels too.

I suggest installing the eng hboot (the correct one for your phone, see the Wiki) to get S-OFF (but be careful doing this, e.g the checksums). Then revert to a ROM that is compatible with gfree and run gfree to get radio S-OFF. Then you can revert back to 6.1.1 or whatever you want.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reedcusa:
Thanks for responding! Especially after this post has turned into more of a rambling blog as I learn more. :)

I tried to run gfree to get s-off and it doesn't work, stays s-on. Thought it was because of the "mkdir" error message I was getting. Then tried to install eng hboot using the whole G2 ROOT INSTRUCTIONS here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834228

Everything goes smooth except for the"mkdir failed for /system/xbin. file exists"

When I reboot, still have:

VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

hboot-0.85.0005

Any ideas??

Again thanks for any help and suggestions!

Just noticed the first commands in the G2 ROOT INSTRUCTIONS have a "$" sigh ie: "$ adb push su /sdcard/su"

Does this mean you should run "adb shell" first? If that.s the case, I get "adb: permission denied" although I do see su on sdcard.

(I know I'm really grasping here :))
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
No, you don't run "adb shell" before running those adb commands, because "adb shell" will give you a command prompt on your phone, and those adb push commands need running from your PC's command prompt. That "$" prompt shown in the guide can be confusing, because it's being run from a PC running Linux, which has a $ prompt. If you have Windows then you will have some sort of "C:\" prompt.

If you are only installing the eng hboot though, you don't need to do all that, since you already have root. Skip to the "Perm Root" section in that guide that you linked, and do everything up to and including the "dd" command. Then the sync and reboot bit (skip over the "root" script).

Although check what message you get from the insmod command. We might have a problem here, because if you're on CM 6.1.1 (that's what you're on, right ?) then gfree won't work and I don't know if either of those wpthis modules (OTA and pre-OTA) will work properly on CM 6.1.1.

The insmod is crucial because unless that command gives you the "right" error message as shown in the procedure, it won't disable the NAND write protection and so won't let you write the hboot permanently.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keinengel:
A bit offtopic, but maybe someone will find this helpful: in many tutorials for *NIX (Linux, OSX, BSD etc.) users you'll find that what you need to type in a command prompt (terminal) starts with either $ or #.

While that may be confusing for Windows users, it is a hint as to whether you are supposed to run the commands as a simple user (the prompt shows a $) or as the administrator (or root) user (in which case, the prompt shows a #).
[G2 and Desire Z General] reedcusa:
ahhhh..thanx for clarifying "$" issue for me.

I am NOT on CM 6.1.1

I have stock OTA rom right now (with root), sorry for the misunderstanding

OK,this is exact error message I get:

insmod: init_module '/data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (function not implemented)

After I run dd=..... I get

2048+0 records in

2048+0records out

1048576 bytes transferred in 0.079 secs (13273113bytes/sec)

So all looks perfect to me, but I still get stuck with:

....S-ON

hboot-0.85.0005

does the "insmod" being in error message mean anything?

In any event, at least I still have a working phone and learned alot more

(like you said..I'm very lucky I didn't brick it flashing this hboot update)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That's the "correct" error message from insmod. But weird stuff is going on here, which isn't too suprising if you have the wrong hboot for your phone.

I'm getting confused, I thought you were on CM 6.1.1. I also thought your phone was stuck in a boot loop, but you seem to be able to still run commands as root, so presumly it boots ok now ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] reedcusa:
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I had CM 6.1.1 on when I flashed wrong hboot. After that it would get stuck on HTC screen when trying to boot up into CM 6.1.1

So I booted into recovery and did a restore which luckily worked. Which now I have no idea why that worked looking back other than because it was a legit stock ROM, so it allowed it. Is this the case??

Last night I actually tried to un-root and get everything back to stock (including hboot) via this method:

ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/

but got stuck on "dd if=/sdcard

/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" with a read only :permision denied message

which I wasn't surprised because I have S=ON
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
For those who don't know BSE=Blame Something/one Else.

I have just messed up my phone by installing and running an App. The App didn't do it I did it. So this is not a thread whining about an App/ROM messing my phone up nor is it a thread whining about my phone being messed up because of faulty hardware that has become apparent through my hacking. There is enough of those elsewhere.

So this is simply a heads up for others not to make the same mistake I just made. I though I would try to speed up my boot time by stopping some of the startup apps. Not system ones but user installed ones. So I installed Startup Manager 2 and duly selected the apps I wanted to stop starting at boot. The problem was that they all then started to FC and had to be un-installed and re-installed to correct this. I have not found them all yet as I now have same lag that was not there before and the phone seems to be getting quite a bit warmer. So I still have a way to go to get back to where I was.

So be warned, Don't fix what ain't broken and if you do and it goes wrong then grow some, put your hands up in the air and say it was your fault. Lets kill all the BSE in 2011. HNY all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Just about got everything back to how it was after factory reset. I think I must have set it to stop Say My Name or Executive Assistant from starting and this caused a black screen loop after the S logo. So be warned all. Perhaps there is one out there that removes the startup command instead of closing them as they start. Seems a good idea to me and this is how it is done in Windows.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimma:
Guys, I know this has been discussed before but this problem is subtly different to previous requests so I'm posting again.

So this is an X10 running 2.1

I have a car charger which is a 2.1amp ipad charger. I also have a 1amp standard car charger. I do not have an SE branded car adapter, but both of the above adapters trigger the charging on correctly as far as i am aware.

If I just leave the phone on charge with the screen off it charges up just fine.

If I leave the screen on with no apps running it charges fine (slower than above)

If I run Copilot with APN Data enabled the battery slowly discharges, even though the charge light is on, and the battery indicator indicates charging.

If I run Copilot and disable APN Data the battery just stays at the same level and neither charges nor discharges. It seems to meet a state of equilibrium.

I ran Copilot with APN enabled and SetCPU limiting the CPU to 225MHz and the battery still discharges (albeit at a slower rate than without SetCPU).

I have the phone screen on minimum brightness and I am not running anything else unnecessary. I have checked battery temperature and I have never seen it above 32 degrees.

The same applies for Google navigation instead of copilot. Both discharge the battery whilst on charge.

I also noticed the other day that something went a bit mental on the phone and was consuming high CPU while the phone was on my branded SE AC wall charger and the battery ran down until the phone turned itself off whilst on charge.

So, does anyone else experience the fact that the phone does not draw enough power via the USB port to cover the current draw on the battery. I have 2.1 amps available on the car adapter and its clearly not drawing anywhere near that. Running it on the 1 amp charger also makes no difference. The SE branded AC adapter is rated at 750mA.

Is this normal?

Any clues?

At the moment to complete a 6 hour journey in the car using satnav on my X10 I have to take 2 or 3 fully charged batteries with me, in addition to having it on the charger.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikin:
My phone came with JI6 stock and wifi and gps were both working (not too good though). I flashed a few roms such as axura and nero and my gps got better with each flash. In JL4 I saw the most improvement in my data connection as well as my wifi and gps. However, as soon as I flashed Nero v3 (JL5), I can't connect to any access points, even though i can see them. I thought it might have been a bug, so I odined back to jfd, then ji6, redownloaded nero (jl5) and flashed it, and it still wasn't connecting.

I then thought it was nero that was causing the problem, so i flashed axura 2.2.5.6, but the problem still remained. I even flashed the jl5 modem itself (from scrizz's thread) but no luck. anyone know what could be causing the problem?

And is it possible to flash a jl4 modem on axura's rom?

[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - Lets Get Small Edition - Upd. 12.30.10

can you guys explain this root methods warning(its Disclaimer and and 4g warning)

Disclaimer:

This has been tested on many phones and it worked fine...but if it breaks your **** dont come cry to me about it...you knew the risks! No one here is responsible if you break, brick, set fire, punch, smash, stab, destroy, your self, computer or your phone. The only person responsible is you! Just because it worked for me and others does not mean it will for you. Anytime you flash something its a risk.

and this one(if you want u can just explain highlighted part, but i perfer idf you explained the disclaimer and the one below)

STOP HERE READ THIS

Update: Yes I am aware that Koush now has a new version of his recovery out (Clockwork Mod). This has been reported to fix the issues with his other recovery. However further testing needs to be conducted. If you wish to Install Clockwork MOD Recovery AFTER you complete the entire root process you may. My only suggestion is to make sure you did the optional WIMAX RSA KEY backup prior to doing so. I still heed my oringinal warning until further testing though. Clockwork posted on his twitter that the new recovery doesnt work right for the older evos...so I again maintain my original position. Which was....

Not to use clockwork simply because it was not coded for the new partitions for the newer evo's and using any other recovery other than the one included in the package could render your RSA keys destroyed and break 4G forever. This includes other versions of Amon_RA as well.

these warnings is what is keeping me away from rooting:confused:

also what is a recovery,i already know what a rom and kernal is?:confused:

Although this is my first post, I am not a n00b. I've rooted and unrooted several phones. Now, I'm trying to help a friend out of a jam but his device is seriously hosed.

Here's the current state of the device:

Hardware version - 0001

S-ON

Stock ROM version 3.30.651.2

HBOOT 2.02

Here's what it's doing:

It will not boot into the ROM or into a recovery.

It WILL boot into the bootloader and fastboot.

Fastboot USB works fine. ADB Shell does NOT work.

It will attempt to load PC36IMG.zip files from the SD, but not being rooted, they don't process correctly.

Here's what I have done so far:

I have all the shipped ROM RUUs going all the way back to 1.32. All of them except the two most recent (3.30.651.3 and 3.70.651.1) fail with error code 140 - bootloader version error. The last two fail with error code 170 - USB comm error.

It appears he was trying to root the device himself and botched it. I have not seen a scenario like this one before (not rooted with no recovery and RUUs fail).

Anyone out there with more experience who can offer me some guidance?

You'll want to hide the IMEI number too.

Everything looks normal, you should be able to run the 3.30 ruu with your phone in the same place you got that info from. You may want to turn it off and let it charge for a half hour or so first though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkh1969:
Yeah thought so too. That RUU craps out with EC 170 - USB comm error. However, I know there are tons of threads on that topic so I will go review those (again). I've done lots of RUU re-loads for folks with the system config I am using for this phone too. The most critical thing seems to be having HTC Sync 2.0.33 installed, which is the case. I'll try some other versions. and report back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Make sure your ruu version is not older by a revision or any thing like that and letting it charge for awhile with the phone off would be a very good idea. The battery is pretty low

Good news and bad news...

Good new is that that with HTC Sync 2.0.31, I was able to reload the phone successfully to 3.30.651.3. Or more specifically, the RUU update process completed successfully.

Bad news is that now the phone will not turn on. Pulling the battery and waiting a few hours has not helped.
