HELP: Instructions to update Kernel

Hi,
I'm trying to update kernel on my At&T Nexus one.
I'm noob and I'm a little lost as what to do.
Instructions I pulled from the net(_hxxp://iq0.org/story/nexus-one-1113mhz-stable):
1. Root your Nexus and install whatever rom you so choose <- Rotted with stock EPE54B. Ok
2. Download SetCPU from either XDA for free, or support the developer as I did and buy it on the market <- Bought from the market. Ok
3. Reboot into fastboot and type "fastboot flash zimage zImage" <- Help - I'm in the Fast boot, cant see where to type this. Help
4. Push the .ko file to /system/lib/modules <- Push - How is it done? Help.
5. Once your phone boots, open SetCPU and tell it to autodetect your CPU (Don't choose Nexus from the list!)
6. Set the max clock to the highest and tell it to set on boot.
7. Enjoy
If that matters, here is the kernel:
_hxxp://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
boot-cm_2633.2-oc-uv-xtra-btn-aud-ram-vfp_fp-042210.zip

If ur using CyanogenMod, simply pop that zip file onto ur SD card, and flash the zip via Amon RAs recovery...
If you use any other mod or stock, read the 101 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153) for how-tos for adb & fastboot

If you're running windows on your computer - do this.
Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode. Have usb debugging mode on too.
Start -> Run -> Type " Cmd " ( without the quotes )
Which will bring up command prompt.
Depending on where you saved your fastboot, the kernel, and .ko file... ( In my case, I chose C:/N1/Tools as folder of choice ) I would have to type these commands on command prompt...
cd \ < press enter> This command is to go into c drive
cd n1 < press enter> This command is to go into n1 folder
cd tools < press enter> This command is to go into tools folder in n1 folder
( But...you would more than likely have to enter something else, since you probably saved it somewhere else )
Then, type this:
fastboot flash zimage zImage-cm_2633.2-oc-uv-xtra-btn-aud-ram-vfp_fp-042210
If you succeed, lets proceed to the next step.
Unzip the tar.gz file and then place the bcm4329.ko to the folder of your choice. Choose reboot phone from fastboot menu, and wait until your phone loads up. Then... type this on the command prompt:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
& if you succeed, restart your phone.
Run set cpu on your phone.
Pick autodetect speed.
You should be able to slide the bar and choose 1.113 ghz speed.
Let me know if this works for you.

My successful saga with [CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station 5.0.6].
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I followed advise from craigacgomez "....If ur using CyanogenMod, simply pop that zip file onto ur SD card, and flash the zip via Amon RAs recovery..." and was able to install the ROM and then install this kernel.
On my 1st attempt I did install Cyanogen over the current ROM (no wipe), without wipe, but it did not work. Phone was stuck on the loading screen where, while in the boot, you see the elctrofying blue cross...I then tried to revert to standard ROM (I think there is an option for this)...It did not work...I mean it successfully installed, but upon loading the screen went black and that was it...On my 3rd attempt I did a full wipe and flashed Cyanogen zip file and it was success! Phone took a little longer to boot up, but then no problems using it. I went back to the recovery screen and flashed this kernel that I wanted...
So, I'd say it is sucsess!
The only problem now is that, in the settings I've selected Apps2SD but the apps are downloading to the internal memory. I'm not sure if if my current partitioning is the issue (64mp for hot swap, 512mb and the rest is FAT32).
Any quick advise?
Repartitioning?

lets start with the simple fixes first. Did you ENABLE apps2d before installing the apps ?
You can also manually move your apps from internal memory to SD by going to settings>applications>manage apps, click on the app it should tell you where its currently saved, then just click on the "move" button...
If this don't work then you can partition your SD via recovery.
Good Luck!

Wow! Thanks. This is great tip. How I don't have to go
guess the storage location of the app. I downloaded 1 app and I see the location of it says SD card. So I can be sure that apps2SD is functional.
BTW, Do I need to have my SD partitioned 2>3 then 3>4, or basic partitioning will suffice?

No need to partition if its working. I believe the apps2d option does that automatically.

You just need to bring up cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.

ahhh ok ill try that

Haven't tried a nandroid yet. Will try it shortly though.
See my post above. You don't need anything with adb. Open cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.

yeah, works fine through command prompt... in my desire to get CWM and Nandroid, I didn't realize that the instructions were less than clear on that step... should have remembered.
To Confirm... Nandroid works... though it did hang for a bit, it did finally wake up and complete.

When you extracted it puts it in a folder called fastboot or something like that. I just took all of the files out of that folder and put them in the main folder I was using or you can just navigate to that specific folder. I hope that made sense. I'm fairly certain that is your problem.

Not in its full capacity, but I just use it as a way to get to recovery mode quickly and easily while not on my computer anyway.

Unable to flash root_recovery.img
I was able to root my HTC Raider using the HTC Super tool. However, I am unable to flash the root_recovery.img in order to have CWM. Every time I try to flash it, I get the following error"
unknown partition 'root_recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'root_recovery.img'
Any help would be appreciated.

[TUT] HTC Unlock/Recovery/Rooting *Noobs*

​
The Ultimate guide on how to do everything for noobs
Anyone taking these steps please be aware, you do this as your own choice/Risk....If you have anything important on your phone, back it up right now before you proceed....as everything will be wiped by the bootloader unlock!
Bootloader unlock.
Download this >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uma19r3pysr93dr
Unzip into a new folder on your c: called Android (C:/Android)
Plug your Phone into Computer/PC and select charge only.
Follow the guide precisely on HTC

5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.
so you have updated the HBOOT and unlock bootloader....
Good now for the next bit.
If by chance you cannot unlock via HTC Dev please tell me as i maybe able to help you on that.
I require knowing which RUU you have installed, this u will find out by using HTC Dev.
Using HBOOT 1.0.7 and updating should be easy and fast.
Installing CWM 5 (Recovery Menu)
Please also read my orther thread on recoverys...it hold same details with extras >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main things are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
Here is the recovery file >http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=852074&d=1326296914
Save the recovery.img and flash_image in the root of your adb folder.(this means C:/Android)
Now using DOS CMD window
goto C:/Android
*hint, copy the txt in these windows into your DOS window and press enter....it saves time and spelling errors*
DOS txt
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
it should now reboot and show Fastboot USB mode
DOS txt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from the hboot menu, go to recovery.
now if above doesn't work and you cannot get into bootloader to flash the cwm. follow this
pull out battery
insert battery
hold volume down key and press power at same time
Hboot will appear
scroll down and select bootloader option, press power.
and your ready now in fastboot usb mode
Rooting
Please note, this method is old, current methods are simply just flash a new rom!
All roms come Pre Rooted with all apps required to run with root (Superuser)
For details in these check out the Android Development forum in our salsa section.
or go here>http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1043
Download this file >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?pypn6v69o0vnvl9
(This is outdated somewhat and requires updating via Google Play)
place this file on the base of your sd card.
Now goto your new recovery menu.
use this cmd from DOS Windows
Code:
adb reboot recovery
it will reboot automatically
1-Select Install Zip from SDcard
2-Choose Zip from SDcard
3-Find Root.Zip on the SD card
4-Scroll upto Yes-Install Root.zip
it will now flash the root.zip
5-Go back
6-Reboot System Now
Now from here you will have done the following
Unlocked your bootloader
Flashed recovery system
Rooted your stock device.
if by any chance you make a mistake which is not very likely, but odd chance u do...redo the steps per section till you get it right.

Root-2 meanings
System root giving superuser access pr SU
Root of SD - meaning base of sd no folders
ADB Android debug bridge - used with dos commands when phone is plugged into computer via USB cable
extra Utilities are Java SDK
>http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Download and install accordingly to instructions given.
this gives access to more functions via ADB

thanks
thank you sir, you are a genius. i was stuck in 'adb'. and dont know what does it mean. got it cleared from geek.com . would like to suggest that please also add things like 'installing utilities from android sdk platform, root means the root directory of system(usually c:\ )for amateurs like me.
nevertheless it's really a useful post.... hats off to you and developers of this site!!!!!!

SuperUser?
Hi BBE,
Followed your tutorial and was successful at every step. But one thing that is bothering me (or maybe I messed up at some step) is that I still do not have the Superuser (Su) rights. I used "Root Check Basic" and it says I have Root access. But when I try to run "Link2sd" or "Titanium Backup" it says I do not have Superuser rights. Is this method supposed to give us Superuser rights? If yes then what should I do now? If no then how can I get Superuser rights for my HTC Salsa?
Thanks.
Zaeem

Look in the apps list and you should see a pirate like app icon. If you do open app up and update it. This should rectify the su problem. If not.gimme a shout

Yea I did update it myself and now I have Su on my Salsa . However the binary is out dated and when I try to update it, it gives me 'failure' status. Downloaded the SuperUser binary installer fix from Market but still getting the error. Any help with that? (I think I am good even with the out dated binary though)

ok goto market, download, SuperSU looks like a large blue hashtag lol.
install that, update it etc, see if that runs, if you get successful updated binary, reboot the phone. u can run with both SU apps, but you would be better removing the old Su in favour of the new one...im gonna look around for a root.zip with new Super Su in there

[2/9/12] Updated All in One Noob Guide For Downgrade and S Off

Hey guys, I have had a lot of requests for how to S Off and Downgrade HBOOT etc.
So here it is! The most easy guide! Read the key first! Also if you are on a custom rom, it will be deleted but then you can install it after this process.
Update: I have updated the Downgrade Toolkit thanks to nonverbose
People who have already completed my guide WILL NOT have to do it again. Also I cant promise that phones shipped with ICS and Sense 3.6 will be compatible with this guide!
Key:
If you have HBOOT 1.13.0000, S On = Follow from Section 3 but if you already have Root Access skip Steps from 13 and onwards
If you have HBOOT 1.16.0000, or HBOOT 2.00 S On= Start from the top
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device! But if you follow word to word, nothing will happen!
*Note if you haven't, install HTC Sync for the drivers then uninstall before doing anything!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1
1. Make a new folder on desktop called 'Downgrade'
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1254644&stc=1&d=1344674749
3. Make a new folder in 'Downgrade' called 'Downgrade Kit'
4. Extract the download into 'Downgrade Kit'
5. Now you should have a folder called 'Downgrade' on your desktop, inside that should be another folder called 'Downgrade Kit', inside that there should be a folder called 'files' and a program called 'runme.cmd'.
6. Make a new folder inside 'Downgrade' called 'RUU'
7. Download this and save it to folder 'RUU': http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
8. Connect phone to computer, and choose ‘Charge Only’ not ‘Disk Drive’. Enable USB Debugging, and disable Fastboot (If you don’t know how to, ask Dr. Google)
9. Open runme.cmd, it will ask questions! Answer according to your phone not mine! The questions are (If I can remember) i) Do you have root? I answered n. ii) Have you unlocked through htcdev.com? I answered no. iii) Do you want to create a goldcard? I answered y
10. After it successfully completes (if it doesn’t post below) run the RUU in the RUU folder (Remember it erases all data so if you need to, backup everything) , it will take around 10 mins. BE PATIENT!
11. After it installs check if your HBOOT has been downgraded! It should be 1.13.0000!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2
1. Go to (revolutionary.io) and scroll down to hit ‘Downloads for Windows’ (But keep the website open)
2. Download and extract the .zip to a folder
3.Fill in the boxes for the beta key (on the revolutionary website)
You should fill it out like this
Your Operating System: Windows/Linux (Depending on yours)
Your Device: HTC Incredible S
HBOOT Version: 1.13.0000
Serial Number: (Your serial number)
4. Copy and paste that beta key into a notepad file and save it to the desktop! Beware copy and recheck if it matches
5. Connect phone, choose ‘Charge Only’, enable USB Debugging and disable Fastboot
6. Run revolutionary.exe
7. When it asks you to input beta key, do it!
8. When it asks you whether you want to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, type y
9. Once it is done, the cmd will close
10. Confirm that you have S – Off in the bootloader!
11. So far so good!
12. Reboot into bootloader if you are not and then open up recovery, it should go to Clockwork Mod Recovery
13. While phone is in Clockwork Mod, connect phone to computer
14. Select Mounts and Storage by using the volume buttons to move and power to select.
15. Then select mount sdcard (the sd card directory should pop up on your computer screen)
16. Download the root .zip file and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it) (http://d-h.st/yzV)
17. Copy the root .zip file to the root of your sdcard and wait for it to transfer (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).
18. On your device, select unmount sdcard.
19. On your device, select go back.
20. Then select Install zip from sdcard and choose the root .zip file.
21. Wait for it to flash, once done, select reboot system now.
22. Once your device reboots, open the app drawer and you should see Superuser permissions there. If so, you are all set, you are rooted, have S-Off and a custom recovery image.

Hey guys, I have had a lot of requests for how to S Off and Downgrade HBOOT etc.
So here it is! The most easy guide! Read the key first! Also if you are on a custom rom, it will be deleted but then you can install it after this process
Key:
If you have HBOOT 1.13.0000, S On = Follow from Section 3 but if you already have Root Access skip Steps from 13 and onwards
If you have HBOOT 1.16.0000, or HBOOT 2.00 S On= Start from the top
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device! But if you follow word to word, nothing will happen!
*Note if you haven't, install HTC Sync for the drivers then uninstall before doing anything!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1
1. Make a new folder on desktop called 'Downgrade'
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1121595&d=1339391278
3. Make a new folder in 'Downgrade' called 'Downgrade Kit'
4. Extract the download into 'Downgrade Kit'
5. Now you should have a folder called 'Downgrade' on your desktop, inside that should be another folder called 'Downgrade Kit', inside that there should be a folder called 'files' and a program called 'runme.cmd'.
6. Make a new folder inside 'Downgrade' called 'RUU'
7. Download this and save it to folder 'RUU': http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
8. Connect phone to computer, and choose ‘Charge Only’ not ‘Disk Drive’. Enable USB Debugging, and disable Fastboot (If you don’t know how to, ask Dr. Google)
9. Open runme.cmd, it will ask questions! Answer according to your phone not mine! The questions are (If I can remember) i) Do you have root? I answered n. ii) Have you unlocked through htcdev.com? I answered no. iii) Do you want to create a goldcard? I answered y
10. After it successfully completes (if it doesn’t post below) run the RUU in the RUU folder (Remember it erases all data so if you need to, backup everything) , it will take around 10 mins. BE PATIENT!
11. After it installs check if your HBOOT has been downgraded! It should be 1.13.0000!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2
1. Go to (revolutionary.io) and scroll down to hit ‘Downloads for Windows’ (But keep the website open)
2. Download and extract the .zip to a folder
3.Fill in the boxes for the beta key (on the revolutionary website)
You should fill it out like this
Your Operating System: Windows/Linux (Depending on yours)
Your Device: HTC Incredible S
HBOOT Version: 1.13.0000
Serial Number: (Your serial number)
4. Copy and paste that beta key into a notepad file and save it to the desktop! Beware copy and recheck if it matches
5. Connect phone, choose ‘Charge Only’, enable USB Debugging and disable Fastboot
6. Run revolutionary.exe
7. When it asks you to input beta key, do it!
8. When it asks you whether you want to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, type y
9. Once it is done, the cmd will close
10. Confirm that you have S – Off in the bootloader!
11. So far so good!
12. Reboot into bootloader if you are not and then open up recovery, it should go to Clockwork Mod Recovery
13. While phone is in Clockwork Mod, connect phone to computer
14. Select Mounts and Storage by using the volume buttons to move and power to select.
15. Then select mount sdcard (the sd card directory should pop up on your computer screen)
16. Download the root .zip file and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it) (http://d-h.st/yzV)
17. Copy the root .zip file to the root of your sdcard and wait for it to transfer (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).
18. On your device, select unmount sdcard.
19. On your device, select go back.
20. Then select Install zip from sdcard and choose the root .zip file.
21. Wait for it to flash, once done, select reboot system now.
22. Once your device reboots, open the app drawer and you should see Superuser permissions there. If so, you are all set, you are rooted, have S-Off and a custom recovery image.

Your radio will only change if you change it manually. Changing roms doesn't change the radio.

I know my device(From the Netherlands Sim Unlock) is on WWE firmware. Is yours carrier branded?
My advice would be to try Reinstalling CWM through HTC One AIO toolkit and then place the backup back in the CWM folder.
Maybe that will work.

clockworkmod is the installed recovery.
it just doesnt want to start the restore function. i can however select install from sd card fine, proofing that it has no problems seeing the data....
mine is not carrier branded.

So when you attempt to do the restore from CWM it lists the date/name of your backup but fails? Or can you not even get CWM to start the restore because it doesn't see the backups?

no it does not list anything.
tried moving the backup folder but i have no idea where to place it. already tried putting it in root, triying to put it in /backup and in /clockwordmod or something.
the error i get is: couldnt open directory, no files found.

Sorry this part can be tricky because folder path is slightly different on 4.1.2 than 4.2.2. Also I haven't used CWM in a long time since I switched to TWRP.
Did you try putting the entire clockwordmod folder in:
/data/media
Then try the restore.

You didn't use the correct folders. I am not talking about folders on the root of your sdcard, I am talking about root of file system.
You should have a file explorer tool that will allow you to navigate to root and have R/W permissions so we can move files if needed. If not go to the play store and install https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEwOSwiY29tLmVzdHJvbmdzLmFuZHJvaWQucG9wIl0
Open the application and on the top left there is a small icon, click it and should open the fast access menu. Choose Root Explorer and then Mount R/W when prompted, click ok (keep defaults).
Now you should be at the device root and it will say Device in the top middle of ES.
Now browse to /data/ then /media
If you do not see a clockwork mod folder in media that is where we need to move the CMW backups in order to be able to restore them from recovery.
So move the clockwordmod folder from media/0/clockworkmod to the root of /media folder so it looks like
/data/media/clockworkmod(folders within here have your backups)
Then boot into recovery and try the restore.

tried to do exactly what you told me.
there is a data folder in root, but there is no media folder inside of that.
and if i try to create it it fails and says i should try giving the folder another name.
edit: never mind a restart of the app fixed it.
EDIT: didnt work.
my backup folder is inside /data/media/clockworkmod/
and clockwork recovery still gives desame error.

First confirm where CWM is actually putting your backups. Do this by booting into recovery and choose to do a backup. Then uncheck all partitions but the smallest and allow it to backup.
When you reboot navigate through the folders we have been talking about and see the exact path of where it put it. Then compare the contents of the backup folders to make sure it is not your original backup that is messed up.
As long as you place your backup(inside its folder) in the folder where CWM put the test backup, then you should be able to see it from recovery and restore it. If not your original backup may not be any good.
Going offline for about hour for lunch. Be back around 1:30pm EST.

grrrrrr...
made a backup for testing where clockword puts them.
they are in /data/media/clockwordmod/backup
my backup is placed in /data/media/clockwordmod.
when i try to move my backup folder to /data/media/clockwordmod/backup it says successfull, but nothing happens. i cant seem to move the folder.
EDIT: ok copying pasting worked instead of cutting pasting.
i now restored...but for some reason recovery is still clockwordmod, and it still shows tampered and unlocked on first screen before recovery.

Well you probably backed up with the custom recovery installed, right? You'll have to flash the stock recovery manually.
If you want it to be locked, you'll have to lock it. revone will do that for you, after you've flashed stock recovery.

Odd.
Have you tried looking for the stock recovery? A high proportion of the posts here are about returning to stock.

That is all normal. All you have done is reset the ROM back to default. You will still need to restore the stock recovery and then relock the bootloader to get to 100% stock.
I am trying to find all the info needed for you to finish up and I will post it.

Back in post number 4 you state that CWM is your installed recovery.
So it seems correct that you have a custom recovery installed. However since you are S-Off, before I put together something for you to go back I need to know:
Did you upgrade your firmware?
Did you flash a new hboot (to get rid of the red warning lettering)?
Did you flash a new splash screen?

If you answered no to all three of those questions, you should be able to get back to stock by performing the following:
Download the ResetRecovery zip I made for you here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36946918/ResetRecovery.zip
Unzip all the files into a folder. (examples will use C:\temp)
Install the HTCDriver.exe to make sure the device drivers are installed on your PC.
Make sure that USB device debugging is enabled on your device.
Open a command prompt and navigate to that folder - Start>Run>cmd Enter
Code:
cd c:\temp
Connect USB cable to phone and PC.
With the PC booted type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the bootloader screen appears:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot phone and go into recovery to make sure that CWM has been replaced by HTC stock recovery. If HTC recovery appears then reboot phone.
Now relock the bootloader:
Use the revone file that you probably used to get S-Off. (If needed it can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582)
Push revone to your device:
Put the downloaded revone (rename file to just revone) file in your adb/fastboot folder (c:\temp) and push it using this command:
Code:
adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
open a adb shell by typing:
Code:
adb shell
Now change to that directory:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
Now set permissions
Code:
chmod 755 revone
Since you have the tampered flag run this to remove it:
Code:
revone -t
Now do this so it will show locked:
Code:
revone -l
The newer revisions of revone don't do the actual locking any longer but it may output the command you need to run to fully re-lock:
Type exit to exit the adb shell session and issue the command to re-lock the device:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Now verify that it worked by booting into the bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You should see it say Locked at the top and S-On, just like it was out of the box!

i have no idea if i upgraded firmware. i was from stock to android revolution wich is the newest android version.
but now i am back on stock.
software number 1.29.401.16
i didnt try to get rid of warning texr and i didnt flash a custom splash screen.

Yes, you would know if you flashed firmware because it has many warnings and a few steps. Your version number is stock, the thing that worries me is that you are S-off and originally you thought you only unlocked bootloader.
Did you use revone or moonshine to achieve S-off?
Do you see the red warning lettering on the splash screen when booting?
AS long as the custom recovery is back to stock and you see the red warning letter on splash then you should be ok to proceed with locking now.
