You don't need flash player to view YouTube videos anywhere. Plus you won't find it on the Play Store while on JB.

You did before JB, but you're right, won't be in the market on JB.
OP - Do you know if it worked before it was handed down to you?
Perhaps a kernel update could fix this. You have Semaphore 2.4 and it's up to 2.6.6 for JB 4.1.2.
sorry for the delay, i was bussy, but now i'm here again jijiji.

again, i dont know a lot about this world, but i try to learn every moment, i could try to reflash my phone if this fix it, but what do you thing???

Semaphore is the kernel you're using. I would read on flashing before getting into it though.
The process is quite simple, you download the kernel (zip), put it on your sd card, go in recovery and flash it.

If you factory reset, you'll need to flash another ROM (or reflash your current one). Keep in mind that by doing this, you'll lose all your apps and data. You can back them up with a app called Titanium Backup. When doing the restore though, only restore apps and data, NO system app.

You'll need Odin one click KK4 with bootloaders, then flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85. From there, you can flash the ROM you want as per their instructions.
succesfull!!!!!!!!!!
i use odin one click and then use the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

Hello,
Since i heard and readed alot about the cyanogenMod, i wanted to flash my phone to this Rom.After folowing a vid on youtube and some research. I found out that i can't flash to cyanogenMod from android 2.3.3. So my question:
How can i do this?
Grtz
Daan
I just think you can flash it with CWM, as with other ROMs.
But then there is the risk that my phone bricks? witch dont happen if u use nv flash
and if u use nvflash i get an error, and thats because im on 2.3.4
failed executing command 14 nv error 0x120000

no your phone will not brick when you really need to be unlucky, all people in here is using cwm to flash with, i think nvflash is only if you want to flash stock rom,
In CWM perform a factory reset, and to be sure, format /system /data /cache, wipe Dalvik cache, and finally flash CM7.
That had nothing to do with your installed version of android, be sure to have CWM 5.0.2.0 to have ext4 compatibility.
oke ill try that thank you for ur reactions
after trying to install cyanogenmod i have problims with prompting to test.
i did everything it sayed but he still sayed no batch found. so im not sure everything works fine, so stuck at the kdb devices.
any tips ore other ways? ore good simpler guides ore movies?
cause the nvflash way is so mutch easyer!
Tnx allready

What batch are your talking about? In CWM you choose install a zip, select your zip file of CM7, you confirm and that's it... You do it from the phone don't you? CWM is not an external app on the computer... It's a special partition called recovery that you must flash either through ROM manager if you are rooted or through nvflash if not rooted yet (see trymhansen thread in dev section and forget movies and YouTube stuff...)..

well ive do things to mod andoid to make a good usb connection, i saw it in a guide . it sayed if u didnt root yet follow this guide with cwm. so i did something wrong...
i just dont get what root means and how i make a nandroid backup.
thanx for the fast reactions
the problem is the ADB its hard to set up that didnt work out for me and i need it for superoneclick cause when i try this it gets stuck at step 7 it says waiting for device
I finally hot my adb set.. when i try super one click it stops at step 7, and sayed waiting for device.. I really tried every way !
Can close this 1 problem solved, returned to froyo and then to cyanogen.
I use a Optimus Bright L-07C (NTT DOCOMO) same black

In fact thats a question that you also could have found information on by simply READING on the forum...So always use search first, whenever possible, avoids unnecessary post, second i am going to give u some points you can stick to. First of all I would root the phone (attention warranty voids) then install superuser and Busybox (you can find tutorials on that everywhere here) then install ROM Manager or soft similar to it, open the program, install ClockWorkManager, reboot to recovery system, backup, DONE!
As I said you also could have found that out on your own... And learning by doing is still better than not learning by copying
So i hope you manage to do it... also consider to have a look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771

Hello Everyone,
Before proceeding, I have searched my problem, but I couldnt find an answer to it.
I am basically running GingerDX v26 on Stock Kernel, and whenever i try to install (flash) via CWM, it doesnt intalls,
I came to know about this, when I was trying to flash Sound Module by CKKnot, I didnt got the installation files in my respective directories. Furthermore, i tried flashing ICSified settings, but nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong, or there is bug??
Please report me, and I will be really grateful to you guyzz!!!

What error do you get ? Try flashing another ROM. Does the ROM flash ? I had problems flashing ICS-ified settings on my GDx v27 (I finally did it)
So probably , we shared the same problem...
Or just use X8 Toolbox to re-install recoveries.

PS, it completely shows me everything as normal script, but later when I locate the directory using root explorer, I dont have the files.
I noticed this when I was flashing CKKnots sound module, it related that "delete the files from soundfx folder" later when i flashed nothing was installed!! it was clean. rebooted multiple times but no chance, again i flashed, nothing happened.

You should've told the OP about the kernel requirements before suggesting him that and thus leading him to a soft brick.
I am almost sure he is on stock kernel.
and that ROM is NOT for stock kernel.

Under Flashing ROM you can find the instructions.
You must have CWMR to do this. Here are the instructions for downloading and installing CWMR.

Hey changing baseband wont work, i wont recommend you to change your baseband. You mite end up into hardbrick or no network problems.
Try install another rom first (try any)
then flash your desired rom.
Always DO full WIPE.

oops I already changed my basband, luckily its working fine... and autoradio said, if problem persists, try changing baseband..
my problem now
I want to offer you a little fix for those of you who actually experience this problem. On some Samsung based ROMs, some people complain about not working cameras, no matter how often they tried to install a ROM after several wipes. This error may occur in case your camera uses a different firmware.
Most people however won´t experience this error.
I´ve created a little Fix which is actually very easy to apply as a flashable zip. It was intended to be used with my Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM, it may also work with every other Samsung based ROM
Here is the link: Camera Fix for Samsung based ROMs
Simply install this file through your custom recovery
Just in case this patch should not work for everyone, leave me a comment and I´ll see what I can do :angel:
What does it do?
Sent from my CM10.3 Galaxy S3.
This fix includes one missing binary which some specific cameras require in order to be able to be used.
If you don´t have any trouble starting the camera app, using the camera, you don´t need to flash this zip Even if everything works fine and you do install this fix, it wouldn´t harm your system

just flashed it, doesn`t work for me unfortunately. :crying: :crying: :crying:
i have this problem you told of since a very long time and i really can't get rid of it. makes me fckn sick. i could cry on and on.
what else is possible to do? every litte hint is very much appreciated.
There are more binaries available, the one I included is a more common one. Samsung uses 2 different cameras ( Sony or Samsung ).
Does your camera work 100% with a Stock ROM ? If so, have a closer look in /data/cfw and show me what you find inside ( eg. SlimISP_xx.bin ).
Flash a Stock Firmware, make sure to copy the file and add it here as a zip file. By installing custom ROMs, your cfw folder will be empty most the time if these files are not added by the ROM itself.

hi guys,
thx a lot for your words. here is what i've done:
i just flashed a stock rom and the camera works. then i installed cf root and root explorer but /data/cfw is an empty folder. so i can`t copy anything here.
with the custom rom and the cam not working i had a file like SlimlSp00.bin (or something similar) in this particular folder but not now.
what to do now or did i misunderstand something?

There are more binaries available, the one I included is a more common one. Samsung uses 2 different cameras ( Sony or Samsung ).
Does your camera work 100% with a Stock ROM ? If so, have a closer look in /data/cfw and show me what you find inside ( eg. SlimISP_xx.bin ).
Flash a Stock Firmware, make sure to copy the file and add it here as a zip file. By installing custom ROMs, your cfw folder will be empty most the time if these files are not added by the ROM itself.

Just out of curiosity, did you try to remove this file ? Maybe your camera tries to load this binary though it´s not suitable for your model. You can try to create a different folder and first copy the found bin ( just to have a spare copy ), remove SlimlSpxxx out of your data/cfw folder.
Wipe your Dalvik Cache and restart the ROM

hi guys,
thx a lot for your words. here is what i've done:
i just flashed a stock rom and the camera works. then i installed cf root and root explorer but /data/cfw is an empty folder. so i can`t copy anything here.
with the custom rom and the cam not working i had a file like SlimlSp00.bin (or something similar) in this particular folder but not now.
what to do now or did i misunderstand something?

this idea didn't come up of course
but i just tested it. i already had my custom rom backup restored. i moved the SlimlSP_BH.bin to my ext sd, so that /data/cfw was empty, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and it doesn't worked. second try i wiped cache and dalvik and it also doesn`t work.

If your camera doesn´t work with this binary, you may need another one..and there are lots of them to try but you have to chose one which is suitable for a Sony or a Samsung camera Well, there is a easier way out if you try to upgrade your camera firmware.
Before we proceed, I need some details first, which type of camera you have in order to pick up a suitable binary.
1) Dial *#34971539#
2) pick up this option: "Phone/Cam FW Check"
3) Show me what you see
4) Chose this option: "Phone/Cam FW Write"
A short explanation :
GDxxx = Sony
ZFxxx = Samsung

alright, i for sure will give you every information you need.
under "phone/cam fw ver check" i see
rear camera
cam fw ver: GDF
phone fw ver: GDFI02
front camera
cam&phone fw ver: S5K6A3
"Phone/Cam FW Write" isn't available in that form. options with "write" are only "phone to cam fw write (rear)" (but this is greyed out so i can't touch it) and "fw write count".

hi gorgtech, are you still here?
I´m still here but I´m not quite sure how to help you out. There is another way to enforce an upgrade of your Firmware but I´m not sure if this would work out for everyone.
I´ll see what I can do later and prepare a zip file for you

I want to offer you a little fix for those of you who actually experience this problem. On some Samsung based ROMs, some people complain about not working cameras, no matter how often they tried to install a ROM after several wipes. This error may occur in case your camera uses a different firmware.
Most people however won´t experience this error.
I´ve created a little Fix which is actually very easy to apply as a flashable zip. It was intended to be used with my Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM, it may also work with every other Samsung based ROM
Here is the link: Camera Fix for Samsung based ROMs
Simply install this file through your custom recovery
Just in case this patch should not work for everyone, leave me a comment and I´ll see what I can do :angel:

Dude, brilliant, this works on KitKat roms also, I have spread the word and linked your thread to the benefit of all.
Thank you

Well it works perfectly for me, but @Moster2 says the md5 checksum is identical to the files already in place, but it works. I'm both happy but mildly confused! If you get the issue it's obviously with trying! You only need to flash the rom to remove it, so it's of no concern to try

Damn!
Sent from my Linaro SM'd CM11 Galaxy S3, with Archi's kernel. A proud Googy Beta tester.
Well done. Works perfectly.
I tried just about everything I could find regarding fixing the camera in my S3, including manually replacing the Camera2.apk and this is the first fix I tried that actually works. Thanks for putting the time and effort in to solve this annoying problem.
