in init.delta.rc I found the text

sevice kexec-tool /system/bin/kexec-tool -p /system/xbin/capk --initrd=/system/xbin/capk_root

and the source code is config file

in /kernel/arch/arm/configs/semc_shakira_capk_defconfig

I did not compile it

there are errors during compilation

If, after compilation will file capk_root. can try to run it on the phone !?

sorry for my english
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
That kexec command is made to load new kernel in case of kernel panic. So maybe we can load new kernel with that -p option and produce kernel panic so new kernel would be loaded... Would that work?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
Dontpanic folder is located in data folder.

Maybe will work try some panic kernel andvif mobile will not turn on that mean you did it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
try flashing x10s kernel.sin that will probably produce kernel panic
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
That wouldn't work because phone would be off - we need working turned on system, where we load new kernel and then produce kernel panic... unfortunately, when I have to, I don't know how, but when I "had" to crash Ubuntu installation, it was very easy :p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
Change modules.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Tried this. Used capk_root and capk with kexec, triggered kernel panic.

Nothing special happens. Devices just hangs.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Hi all,

I was attempting to install Darkys Extreme Edition on my brother SGS (running Froyo 2.2.1) last night and had a number of issues, i am an experienced techy and familiar with flashing etc but i am still new to Android.

I managed to flash the Speedrom kernel onto his phone using Odin, i rooted with "super one click root tool" and installed Clockwork Rom Manager from the marketplace,i then dropped the "Darkys rom Extreme Edition v9.1.zip" onto the root of the SD card and entered recovery using the button combo and received the "could not verify whole-file signature" installation aborted, the file had not been opened as i read this will break the signature but instead i downloaded the rom again from a different source and had the same problem.

I then attempted the same process by asking CWM to install the rom on the SD card, same problem and then attempted it again by entering recovery through CWM and again the same thing happened. I did some searching online and managed to find out that he needs recovery 2e (he currently has recovery 3e)

So i figured it would be simple enough - download and flash eclair 2.1 through the phone, however when i checked his "about phone" i find i9000JPW and cant for the life of me find ANY reference or firmware online for "JPW"

So with that i have the following questions - can the experienced users here spot something i am doing wrong?

and

would i be able to achieve the recovery process by flashing ANY stock, Eclair 2.1 ROM through the phone (like JPY for instance) and then be able to install Darkys Rom?

I am grateful to anyone that could shed some light on this for me, i am not currently with the phone but if i can get some solid info i can go over tomorrow and have another crack at it, ive Googled this a lot and cannot find a solid enough answer as to whether the above suggestion will help or hinder in this case.

Cheers to all
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0utkast:
Not sure if this helps as i am not much of a wiz but i think darky rom needs the darky app from the market to tell which modem and kernel to install.

Not sure if that's actually the problem but worth a try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gongshow:
Stock recovery changed from 2e to 3e from eclair to froyo which is why cwm is having problems. I had the same problem with a vibrant that had been updated to 2.2. I flashed a TW Bionix ROM and soft bricked the phone. Find the right pit and tar files and Odin back to 2.1 and you should be fine. Check out Shorty's locker on Team Whiskey. He has lots of stuff in storage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Thanks guys ill be sure to give this a go, gongshow how will i know which tar and PIT files to use? is there a repository somewhere where i can get them for JPW? or can i use any eclair 2.1 rom (and the tar/pit files) and flash that using Odin?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ehtoeh:
Download hardcores latest speedmod kernel and flash via Odin. That's all you need to get recovery 2e. Then install your favorite rom and enjoy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Thanks dude, would that be "speedmod-kernel-k9a-256hz"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ehtoeh:
No k13c. Released Feb 20 I believe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Thanks so much for that mate, ill download it now and have a go at flashing it tomorrow in Odin and will report back here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aerobomb:
if you are still on stock rom you can download darkys 9.2 resurrection rom. it has all the files you needed to flash it through odin. and your recovery will change to 2e. and also, there is a procedure guide how to flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aerobomb:
after flashing resurrection download darkys 9.3 final put it on your internal sd card and flash it through cmw.. use Vol UP+Home Button+Power Button
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Ah, this sounds like what i was looking for, thank you! i'll download that ROM and if i can get over there tonight ill attempt it tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow, ill go look up a tutorial for flashing roms in Odin too, since i have so far only flashed a kernel with it, thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it, especially since i'm hoping to get an Android phone myself soon and i wont be able to leave it alone til its all custom!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Therev86:
Ok, all done! last night i flashed Darkys Resurrection 9.2 using Odin on my brothers SGS, downloaded Darkys configurator from the market and made any necessary changes and installed the speedmod kernel k13c total time taken from start to finish: 30mins

everything is running smoothly and exactly as he wanted it, a huge thanks to all who contributed help to this post in particluar:

ehtoeh - for putting me onto the K13c speedmod kernel and

aerobomb - for putting me onto the idea of flashing the Resurrection rom to lower recovery to 2e and then flashing Darkys 2.3 final.

You guys are awesome and i could not of done this without you, when i eventually make the move to Android ill be back and hopefully ill be able to help you guys out!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ehtoeh:
No worries bud. Hope your brother enjoys his phone. What quadrant scores did you get with darkys 9.3? I hit 1499.

Btw, you could have done it all in under 10 minutes. Speedmod k13c has CWM built in and gives you 2e recovery. Then just flash 9.3 directly. No need to go from 9.2 to 9.3 unless you really like flashing ;)

I had similiar problem and found some file .exe which allowing install under 3e, but this is in my computer so i will edit my post 2morrow

The only way i can get rid of the error is by wiping and reinstalling

Salutations to all.

I am currently running a NC updated to 1.1.0 and rooted with autonooter. I have created an CWM bootable microSD to use to flash roms/kernels and what not. I am interesting in installing dalingrins OC kernel. I know I have to use the eclair version on emmc.

However, i was wondering if i flashed the OC kernel but then decide to go back to stock is the 1.0.1 kernel the same as my 1.1.0 kernel :confused:, so i could use the link for the 1.0.1 kernel on the screamer kernel post to revert back to a stock kernel on my 1.1.0 rooted nook?

Thanks for any responses, and i truly did try searching around the forum before resulting to post this question.
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
Before flashing the new kernel take a backup using the CWM bootable microSD. You can restore from that backup in case you want to go back to stock in future.
[Nook Color General] dabiddabird:
I have already done a backup in CWM but from what I have read it does not back up the kernel, unless I have misread something?

Meh, if you bought the evo you would be thinking I should have got the epic, I am so sick of not having a physical keyboard..

Life is full of shoulda woulda's, I probably will stick to a HTC or a Motorola smart phone next time for the exact reason you listed. But the devs here keep me happy with my epic, I have no buyers remorse only because of them.

OP the Evo is a good phone, but with all phones you're going to get tired of them eventually! No, the Epic's GPU doesn't suck, and yes it took awhile to get a update, but it takes a while with every phone maufactuer! And lastly Evo vs. Epic is old already we're not going to flame each other.

both are great phones...i was on the fence but i chose the epic. and i dont regret my choice. thankfully for me the epic is my first and only android (only been an android user for almost 2 months) so i didnt know what i was missing as far as 2.1 and 2.2. also when the official froyo came out i was lucky enough to get the .zip update via samsungs website with zero issues. my phone is even better with froyo. i have messed with the evo a great deal as my husband has it and it really is a great phone as well. i just like that i have the option to use the screen or keyboard.

[Epic 4G General] alexnaoumi:
it has a different processor... correct me if im wrong, the epic has an A8 hummingbird processor and the Evo has a snapdragon.. i agree about sprint rushing it, but samsung is working on fixing the update. look on the bright side, with a few minor fixes, you'll have a 100% functional Gingerbread ROM....so f$%#k froyo, lol.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
What I mean is HTC uses the same processor across the board for a year so updates are nothing for them, the galaxy S was the first and only phone with the hummingbird so it was all from scratch.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Exactly. HTC makes 30 versions of the same phone and everyone is surprised when they update quickly. They all use the same SoC. Wouldn't be surprised if they all used the same bluetooth/wifi/gps/etc. Of course they are going to update quickly.

[Epic 4G General] pkny:
Even after 4 months with the epic i am still on the fence with the EVO. After 2.2 my epic battery life is astonishing and even impresses them apple folks.

What the evo has is the extra 0.3 inches of which i sure could use. Most folks here will deny it or decides to not see it but reading emails and documents on small text on the epic screen causes me eye strain. Sure i can zoom in but i don't want to constantly zoom around. It is just the limitation of the OLED screen but the nexus seems to have fixed that issue.

I still have a choice to changed to the EVO but would i? Probably not. I rely on the keyboard way to much for long emails.

We all love our phones but can't just denied its short comings. Sometimes and i mean sometimes, the forum here feels like the touch pro 2 forums were everything still thinks their phone is the best and there is no reason to change. Since we are on top of the android food chain it is not as apparent.

Irrelevant... Both processors use the ARM architecture, they use a similar instruction set. The difference in processor want the problem. The real problems stem from the fact that different radios are used, which all have proprietary divers on the samsung and htc side.

I've had my phone rooted since I got it for christmas. I've been on Froyo since around then. And that buggy POS froyo that came out in that time was a worse phone experience then probably 1.6. The Hero I replaced had better froyo support.

I'm glad a update was finally released. Even if it is still a bit buggy.

At this point I don't know if we'll ever get Gingerbread or what comes after it.

I went from a moment to the transform to the Epic.

I played with my buddies Evo I liked it, but the screen resolution and keyboard were my biggest sellers, except I barely use my keyboard.

Amoled sold me on th epic. The screen on the EVO is fine but inferior. The screen on the epic is darn near holographic with dead blacks. Epic is definitely more fun to mess around with. I like the beefy gpu, if there's nothing really out to test it. Yeah, I actually love my epic - the first "phone" I can say that about.

To the OP - what were you hoping to accomplish by posting that in an epic forum about improving the phone? Where's the constructive part of the post? This belongs in an EVO forum so that they can go pump eachother.
