[Q] How can I install a kernel? (please don't kill me)

Hi everybody!
I tried to search everywhere, but I can't find it.
Does anybody know where can I find a tutorial/guide to install a kernel (voodoo if possible) un our SGS flashed with darky's 8.1?
Every info i found is uncomplete or requires certain things I've never done before.
thanks in advance!

Flash .zip(kernel) with clockwork mod recovery like you flashed darky's rom.

Every kernel developer writes installation instructions in first post. Well,
*if you have rooted phone with ClockWorksMode recovery you just download one of CWM zip files of kernel of your choice and go to recovery and install zip file from there.
*If your phone has 2e recovery do the same as above but rename your zip file to update.zip and place it in root of sd card and flash update from recovery
*if your phone has 3e recovery you need to use Odin - download odin version of kernel of your choice, unzip it to get .tar file, add this tar file to PDA field of Odin, start your phone in download mode and flash it from Odin.
You can also use "SGS kernel flasher" from the market. It is simpler (recommended). Use CWM versions of kernels or unpack zImage somewhere.

You do understand that Darky's Rom comes with a kernel (Voodoo Advanced without OC/UV I believe).
You can check it's enabled by enterring recovery mode on your phone by turning it off and then turning it back on with the combination of Vol-down + Home + Power and then the appropriate sub-menu.
If you want to install a new one, download the CWM (ClockWork Mod) version of the kernel and flash it through the same Clockwork Recovery.

three excellent responses, each one better than the other
Thank you, thank you very much !

Sorry to be picky but its vol up, home and power.
Vol down gives you download mode.

Yes, as Zeroundead said, if you already have Darky's ROM, you just reboot into recovery, and enable it.
Darky's Version 8.1 has Speedmod kernel.
Here's a video of enabling the lagfix in version 8.0.

i9000 soft-bricked (+ microUSB jig), i'm not sure what to flash first, please help

Hi, i'm kinda new to this forum and a newbie with Android.
• First, the details:
I recently bought a Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Vodafone Romania (eastern Europe), locked to Vodafone, with Eclair. I updated to Froyo via Kies, and after that i had:
Firmware version
2.2
Baseband version
I9000XXJPP
Kernel version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number
FROYO.XFJP7
My phone does NOT have the 3-button-combos for recovery mode / download mode.
• What went wrong
Everything was fine so far, my problem occured when trying to install Voodoo lagfix 5.5 for Froyo.
1. I first tried the /sdcard/update.zip method, i got into recovery mode with "adb reboot recovery" command (only way i can do that), but when i applied update.zip, it said ''signature verification failed, installation aborted''. I googled and found out i have recovery 3e, and i must have had recovery 2e for this method to work (whatever that is).
2. I then tried the Odin method as PDA, repartition unchecked (just like on installation instructions), got into download mode with "adb reboot download" command, pressed start, but Odin FAILED, gave me the error ''Complete(Write) operation failed'' (i didn't save all the details). I panicked a little and unplugged the phone (is the first time i was flashing like this, on any phone). I guess this also happened because i have recovery 3e (?).
Since then, my phone won't start, every time gives me the Phone--!--PC symbols (i guess it's called "soft-brick").

First i freaked out a bit, until i googled and found out it's not that serious, and i can still un-brick it
To add to this problem, i can't put my phone into download mode with VolDn+Home+Power, but i've read here about the microUSB jig, and now i have one myself to put it in download mode.
But I still can't put it in recovery mode.
• What i want to install
1. a basic stock froyo version, 2.2 or 2.2.1, with no customisations, i like the phone just the way it was, except for the lag (and maybe the ascending ringtone...)
2. a good, fast reliable lagfix (like voodoo for example). I don't want to brag with Quadrant scores, i just want my phone to perform faster and snappier on a daily basis, that's all.
3. a bootloader with the 3-button-combos for recovery mode / download mode.
4. a kernel with recovery2e, not 3e, to be able to install unsigned update.zip files (i guess i'll be needing that from now on)
The thing is i don't know in which order to install them, and first of all, exactly which ones to pick.
I'm a newbie and I'm afraid something might go wrong with Odin again, and that this time i can brick my phone for good. That's why i want to ask first, no more trial & error.
For example:
If i generate a ROM from RomKitchen, i'm not sure which ones to pick. Is this combination good for me (considering what i previously had) ?
-Base Rom: *NEW* ZSJPJ v10 WIPE ?
-CSC: JP9 Multi CSC (Default) ? or COA - Cosmote Romania ? (i will be using a Cosmote SIM from now on)
-Kernel: Hardcore's Kernel (SpeedMod K13D with HZ=500) ? or Supercurio's Kernel (Voodoo-stable-5.4.2-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000) ?
-Modem: not sure (?)
And, most of all, if i generate a ROM this way, how, and in which point, can i fix my last 2 problems ? (3-button-combo & recovery 2e)?
And also, which Odin shall i flash with, Odin 1.3 or Odin 1.82 ?
I'm a bit confused right now.
I even don't know if i am missing something...
Sorry for the long post.
Thank you in advance!

Rom kitchen roms aren't flashed with ODIN. They're flashed with CWM.

Can i flash with CWM in my situation ? If so, how ? And what do you recommend me to pick from there ?
If i can't flash with CWM, what else do you advise me to flash ? And how ?
All i want is this
1. a basic stock froyo version
2. a good, fast, reliable lagfix
3. 3-button-combos fix
4. recovery2e, not 3e
I'm asking because i'm unexperienced, and i don't want to try for myself and risk making the situation worse than it is.

I'd flash JPU because I'm pretty sure the modem supports the Vodaphone Bands. You'd flash it with ODIN.
You can find it here. http://www.fileserve.com/file/zMHmnhv
Then if you want a kernel with recovery 2e and a good lagfix speedmod is probably the best. You can find it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547850&d=1300708313
Just flash speedmod using odin AFTER you flash JPU. It'll have CWM and 2e recovery. I don't think you'll need CWM and 2e until you read more about how to flash and troubleshoot though.

Thank you for your answer!

One thing about this modem - will it lock my phone to Vodafone ? Although i bought it from Vodafone, i'll be using my phone with a SIM from another carrier, Cosmote, from now on.
Long story short, i'll want my phone unlocked.
As for the 3-button-combo, can i flash this bootloader simultaneously with JPU, all in one flash with Odin 1.82 ?
Or leave it for later ? (the 3rd step, after 1:JPU and 2:speedmod ?) Or just ignore it for now ?
Once again, thanks a lot for your answer!

No as long as current network is on CSC it wil work if not you have to manually set the APN etc

If its broke just flash stock rom to get it working before doing any modifications . You ned a rom for your area .
Once you have got stock working you can build your own upgrade in rom kitchin .COA is the csc file for that network .

So i'll have network signal, make calls, right ? Just for internet i'll have to manually configure APN (user, psw) ? If so, that's not a problem.

Well, i'm not sure what else i might need from the kitchen.
All i wanted in the first place was a stock Android version & a good lagfix.
When applying the lagfix, all my problems started, and then i discovered that i don't have 3-button-combo and or recovery 2e. I didn't even knew i needed them. And i don't think i'll need them again.

It worked! My phone is back working again!
Thank you for your help!
I flashed as advised by Furry Atom in post #4, JPU and after that, speedmod.
Just after flashing JPU, the three button combos worked! I didn't expect that, i thout i'd have to install a different bootloader for them to work. Now i can quickly enter in recovery mode without "adb reboot recovery" command.
And no problem with the SIM either.
After flashing speedmod, it took me a while to figure i have to manually enable the lagfix and do the conversions from recovery mode.
I searched the speedmod topic for more details from another users, and for now i've done these settings:
1. enabled the first 4 tweaks from TWEAKS section.
2. converted system from RFS to EXT4 (and reboot)
3. and the rest as following
data_fs =ext4
cache=ext4nj
DBDATA=ext4
DATA_LOOP=EXT2
CACHE_LOOP=EXT2
DBDATA_LOOP=EXT2
BIND_DATA_TO_DBDATA=False
I did a Quadrant test just to check. Before enabling the ones above i scored ~1100, and now ~1600.
In real-life preformance, i didn't have time to test the phone enough, but it feels ok with no more freezing lags ...so far.
I also didn't have time to see how the battery performs.
There are some bad things though (that i also experienced before, with JP7 and i hoped speedmod would fix them)
1 - Sometimes when i begin a new game, it's smooth, sometimes it's really choppy for 1-2 minutes or so. In games with ads, (like Klondike Solitaire or Four in a row).
Is it because of the ads ?
2 - With some launchers (like Go Launcher EX or Tag Launcher) scrolling through the app drawer feels really choppy and jerky. What may cause this ? Especially when i have a live wallpaper.
Or that's the way the launcher is optimised ? (i'll upload a video if you want)
It's a shame because with other launchers (TouchWiz, Launcher Pro, Gingerbread launcher), scrolling through the app drawer feels way smoother.
But i liked so much the way you can sort apps into folders/categories with Go Launcher or Tag Launcher, but scroling is far from smooth.
I'm forced to choose between style or functionality. Why can't i have both ?
It might be a dumb question - but is there a method to make Go Launcher smoother when scrolling through the app drawer ?
Once again, thank you for your answers!

I9000M Bell Vibrant Root

Hi XDA members! Very excited to join this community and expand my knowledge or rather learn about development. I know NOTHING so please bare with me. I'm trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant and I've been reading about rooting for months now with the hope of installing a custom ROM(?) like Cyanogenmod, but when I actually set out to do this I've been more confused. I guess there's different ways of rooting depending on carrier, version number, build type, os version, etc. I've tried to read the step by step processes of doing it, but I can't find links or the proper files to do it. I'm such a noob to this that I'm finding it discouraging. I'm not sure exactly of some of the terminology that is being used on these forums so that's why I need a walk through with all the links of what I need to do. I know that there's a learning curve and I'm willing to go through it, but I don't even know where to start. Can someone please walk me through this step by step on how I can root my phone and I'll worry about installing Cyanogenmod later?
Some phone details:
OS version: 2.3.3
kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3

Why stay on 2.3.3 when you can upgrade to 2.3.5? There are next to no custom roms available for your version of firmware. Your phone is basically the same as an I9000 international. Pretty much everything made for the i9000 will work on I9000M, the only thing that I do after I flash a new rom is flash my modem back to UGKG3, which is the modem you are using right now....check your phone in settings>phone>baseband version and you will see this is so. Go to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You want to use the one that says CODE. Now download 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You will use the ones that say CSC and PHONE. Now download (from the same link) Odin and pit files. Its under How to flash (you should read all of that about 5 times over) extract the files. You will have your Odin tool and 3 pit files. Your gonna use the one that says 512pit. So open up Odin...put the file from XXJVT that says CODE in the pda section....where it says phone use the file from UGKG3 that says PHONE...where it says CSC use the file from UGKG3 that says CSC...where it says PIT use the file 512pit.
Next you need to put your phone in download mode. Power it down and wait for it to vibrate about 10 seconds after screen goes black. Now hold down all together volume down + home key + power button. You should see download mode. Hook your phone up to your computer...you will see a com port on Odin go yellow...that means your connected. Press start....Its will take about 10 minutes. After Odin will say Pass, and reset...your phone will begin resetting. Once it reboots you will be running the XXJVT but with the North American modem.
Now you want to root...You need to choose a kernal that is made for XXJVT. I currently use Semaphore 1.8.0, there are newer versions of this kernal available and many other XXJVT kernals available. This is just my preference. You can find the download here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 Its at the bottom of the first post.
semaphore_kernal_jvt_1.8.0.tar....this file does not need to be extracted.
Power down your phone again and put it in Download mode....reset odin to remove the previously used file...now put the semaphore download in PDA....connect phone....com port goes yellow....press start....after 10 seconds it will say pass, reset...phone will reset and voila you have rooted your phone.
There is a tone of information on this site, just read up and learn...Its almost impossibe to mess up your phone beyond repair....Just read everything 3 or 4 times before doing anything.

what do you mean by flashing back to the UGKG3 modem?
also, are there any other kernels beside the Semaphore one that you mentioned? Cuz i'm reading the changelog and it saids that the 720p video recording is broken and I really rely on my phone for videos....
I thought CM7 runs its own kernels ... can I use that instead?

After you are rooted, you might flash a rom on your phone like me Im on Simplicity rom, once I flash it, it changes my modem, so I flash my UGKG3 modem back in odin, since that is the north american modem that gives me the best signal.
As for the semaphore kernal I suggested, yes there are many. The one I suggested does not break 720 recording. Your are talking about semaphore 1.8.0bm...the bm means big memory, it has a bit more ram. I suggest semaphore 1.8.0...without the bm it does record 720 no problem, I use it all the time. As for CM7, I dont know...But I do know you need cwm in order to flash it.
Like I said there are more current versions of Semaphore available, just make sure you get the one that doesnt say bm at the end. The reason I suggest 1.8.0 is because it comes with superuser app and cwm app. Although Im hearing 1.9.1 is very good, I dont believe it has thes apps included so you would have to go and get them seperate...not a huge deal, Im just trying t make this easier for you.

ok... got rooted and new kernel....
time to play around to see if I can get CM7 on it
thanks again for all the help

How did you do it so quickly? I read all of vanis' stuff, which was very helpful, but since I'm a noob I don't even know where to start. I was passionate about doing this, but every time I re-read what I have to do I get confused, frustrated and give up. It seems overwhelmingly enough that it would take me an entire weekend to do

Well, lets get something clear first... i got it rooted and flashed the kernel, i'm still having problems flashing to CM7 ... for some reasons, i'm having a boot loop during the installation process. So everytime, I need to re-ODIN with vanisleryan's instructions again just to get the phone to stop bootlooping. Since it doesn't look like ppl on this thread is familiar with CM7, i've gone looking for help on anther thread.
As for the ODIN part, i know it does seem overwhelming, but this is not the first 'droid device i've rooted, this is just the first Samsung device i'm rooting (hence my problems )
If you read vanisleryan's instructions, its really as straight simple as that.
Just download the 4 files that was indicated:
1) 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC)
2) 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC)
3) Odin tool and 3 pit files
4) Semaphore 1.8.0 (this is optional because there are other suitable kernels, but I'm using this one too just for convenience)
get that done first and we can take it one step at a time.
first big question before you start:
- do you know how to get your SGS into Download Mode and does ODIN recognize your phone?

I learned how to use Odin the hard way (issue following a Kies upgrade), so I'll pass on what I've learned. Hope this will help.
If you have the abomination known as Kies installed, you already have the USB phone drivers on your PC.
As noted in vanisleryan's post, download the JVT, KG3, Odin, and Semaphore rooted kernel files.
The JVT, KG3, and Odin files are self extracting archives, so just double click and indicate where you want them to extract to.
Leave the Semaphore tar file as-is.
Locate the directory where Odin unpacked itself to and run Odin.
Click on PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit from the directory where Odin is extracted to.
Click on PDA and select PDA_XXJVT_Sbl.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000_XXJVT_XXJVT_OXAJVT_Sbl directory
Click on PHONE and select PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
Click on CSC and select CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
After you have selected the files, your Odin should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Put your phone in download mode (You should see this guy):
connect the phone to your computer, wait for Odin to recognize the phone (yellow coloured background in ID:COM box) and then press Start.
After you have performed the initial flash and it succeeds, disconnect your phone from your computer and close Odin.
Open Odin again, click PDA and select Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0.tar
Do not select anything else. Put your phone in download mode again, connect to your computer.
When Odin indicates it has recognized your phone, press the Start button.
Once complete, you'll be running a rooted i9000m with JVT codebase and will be using the Bell modem and related info.

Hi,
so i have a few kinks with the instructions provided here....
flashing to ezbase was straight forward, no problems there...
however, when i rebooted into recovery, i noticed that it was the 3E recovery and not a CMW recovery...
I've never flashed a CM7 ROM w/o CMW, but I gave it a try anyway...
and of course, i got an error ... "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed"
any suggestions?

To add another voice to the chaos:
The JVT modem is working well for my Bell gt-i9000m. I'm on Telus but they share frequencies so Bell should be cool too. If you're on cm7 check out siky_dude's modem thread in the developer forum.
Beware ... once you start flashing roms you're going to be doing it constantly. Get to know your backup/restore tools....
roboticly yours

Did you need to do anything special to enable the 850 frequency, or is that what the KG3 CSC addresses (still a noob at some of this myself)?

To add another voice to the chaos:
The JVT modem is working well for my Bell gt-i9000m. I'm on Telus but they share frequencies so Bell should be cool too. If you're on cm7 check out siky_dude's modem thread in the developer forum.
Beware ... once you start flashing roms you're going to be doing it constantly. Get to know your backup/restore tools....

You're right the jvt modem will work but you'll find your reception a hell of alot better if you use the KG3 modem.

would you happen to have a copy of the EZbase MD5 files that you can share?
i dunno what else i can do.. every link I find is either broken or it leads me to the same place that I d/l it from yesterday
also, a couple other questions
1. can i flash a different kernel with while running ezbase (ie: Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0)
2. in ODIN, i know PDA = kernel, but when ppl say flashing the modem, does the modem = PHONE .... or does modem = CSC?

modem = PHONE

Hi,
for some reason, the DJBROM wouldn't flash successfully. I was still getting the 3E recovery and nothing flashed properly with the stupid recovery.
anyhoo, i ended up flashing ezbase 4.0 with TalonDev 2.2 kernel
finally, using that combination, I was able to get CWM3 onto the phone
and from there, I knew what to do and now I finally got CM7 nightly running
thanks again for all your help

[Q] Stock Recovery Problem

Hello,
First, i install a cwm for galaxy s advance here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 and i did everything according to what the developer instruct us to do, like pressing vol up+ power button + home button for stock recovery and apply update from sd card and find the update.zip(which is the cwm). While installing it stops and says that:
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
i'm not sure what's problem: is it my phone, or the cwm file itself. My galaxy s advance android version is 2.3.6(gingerbread).
Is there someone who can help me?
Regards,

OMG ... You did not read carefully you buddy. That you install the CWM for the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) or [Recovery] CWM 6.0.2.8 [JB Compatible]. :crying: Not for OS Gingerbread. If you want to do you have to do the firmware update first to stock ROM Jelly Bean (4.1.2) via Odin.

No, you can not flash CWM from GB. Because CWM can only be flashed with JB. So you need to update the system prior to JB.
Or read how to guide here how to do a system update from GB to JB.

Hm .. Well.
first:
Why do I have to recommend you to install CWM to go through the stock ROM JB (4.1.2)?!. Coz SPECIAL S ADVANCE DEVICE that using OS GB till now still haven't found a thread is in this forum, and in other forums outside of this forum. And this is in accordance with the suggestions from those users advanced level, up from the creator of the application. If you still contains hard, want to install CWM in GB, are welcome, but I would not recommend it, of course, do at your own risk.
second:
If you look at the friends that you can install CWM, confirmed the developer has given his support to the device in order to install CWM via OS GB. I hope it's understandable.
For more details information, please consult the the advanced level users such as:
1. Senior @shut_down
2. Senior @R_a_z_v_a_n

Simply, we do not have CWM made for GB, we have TWRP. We have recovery embedded in same partition as kernel, so if we want permanent CWM we MUST flash kernel with CWM. - Is it more clear now?
Some phones has separate partition for recovery, so they can install it that way. And our phone is not compatible with ROM manager, Mobile Odin and all similar stuff.
Do not compare other phones options, because it is differed.
Most important thing is - what do you want to do? If you asked that in first place, we would cut to the chase and save you a lot time.

I guess you have to guide him to do the installation Stock ROM JB, Senior.

Maybe he do not want Stock JB ROM.
BTW to save time:
Download JB firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, DOWNLOAD IT FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL - IF YOU HAVE I9070 THEN I9070, IF YOU HAVE I9070P THEN I9070P FIRMWARE - OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE.
When you downloaded it unpack it if it is zipped, if it is in tar.md5 then you can use it without unpacking.
Guide for using Odin (with Odin link) is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398 zip of it is password protected, you do have password on that page.
After that do factory reset if you get in a bootloop.
For CWM, download CoCore with CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, transfer kernel.bin.md5 to phone, install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer like ES file explorer. Install kernel.bin.md5 from Universal kernel flasher reboot, and you have CWM on JB.
That is if you want JB and CWM on it. For GB - we do not have permanent CWM, only TWRP.

[Q] Unable to boot normally after installing CWM

On my note gt-n7000 device, I have installed cwm using hiemdall. Now I am only able to go to the recovery mode by pressing the vol up + home + power keys, but when I try to boot normally, it stops at the boot screen. Please help me how I can come out of this boot loop. I have tried things like removing cache but they didn't work. I want to know what can be done to boot normal to my android. Or alternatively if I install CM from my sdcard will it boot normally to CM or it still continues to struck with CWM?

Start by telling us how you installed cwm

Try flashing a custom ROM and see if it boots
Just mount USB storage from recovery and flash the zip file

I downloaded the cwm for my model (samsung galaxy note gt n7000) and flashed it when the mobile is in download mode using heimdall suite with the following command
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot
I don't know whether the no-reboot has caused such error. But when I have gone through the readme.txt for heimdall suite help, it says that the no reboot only prevents it from automatically getting it rebooted but should work fine when we use the power button.

By flashing a new rom, u basically rewrites existing program and commands of your device, so if not due to wrong flash procedures or bad download, there's no way your phone won't boot.

Okay, but I have one more doubt about how to flash. I am thinking of flashing it with CM 10.2 and hence downloaded the zip. Now can I copy paste the zip file on to my external sd card, put it back to my mobile and flash it or is it better to use adb commands to transfer the file and flash. I just want to know whether the difference in these methods can cause any problem?

Thats incorrect...You cannot flash the file you got from CWM site on N7000. Now do not flash using CWM.. Flash a stock rom using Odin or download Philz kernel tar file and flash it usiing odin...
I meant which firmware... if it was JB, after flashing Philz XXLTA or XXLSZ kernel try to boot the phone...

I got that the error is due to samsung kies which is trying to interfere with odin. I unchecked "Run Samsung Kies automatically when a device is connected" option from tools -> preferences in kies and tried. It worked and I got the phone booted normally back to JB now.
