[PRJ] CM6 system 8/27/2010 ALPHA

Here is the CM6 system built last night by me. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it. This is for those having issues building. Here it is
www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/froyo.tgz
This is not a ready to flash ROM but just the system folder from the CM6 build for people to play with.
This is for devs looking to play with CM6 which was compiled for the vibrant and not just a generic build. This is NOT A READY TO FLASH ROM. I just built went to sleep and threw this up for people.
Enjoy!

?
can we flash this through odin? pda?

The CyanogenMod Wiki Full Update Guide for the Samsung Vibrant
The CyanogenMod wiki has the instructions for the Full CM6 update. I am unable to post the link since I am a new member! I haven't flashed the ROM since I just got my phone last night.

Where was that indicated? There are only two how-tos on the Wiki for CM6 of relevance for Galaxy S/Vibrant: building the CM6 kernel from source, and updating the Galaxy S/Vibrant to CM6. However, the "Full Update Guide" includes the following caveat: NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Vibrant.
There are no full instructions on the wiki for building CM6, nor for truly updating a Vibrant since CM6 has not been built for the Vibrant. You will also not find even an alpha release, nor any nightlies.
For those who don't understand why this is the case, or why flashing a ROM through Odin is different than through the recovery console, it's probably best to wait until there is a "one-click" for you ...

so many people are going to download this without realizing that this is for development only and not even for use yet

I semi understand that stuff but know my limits... But a huge THANKS!!! to those who do!!!
Patiently waiting for "one-click"....

Sorry if you took that as a genuine offer of advice, but it was meant as a sarcastic retort. People who don't understand what is technically involved in "rooting", what it means to "mount" a device or where the line between Linux and Android lays really have no basis in asking for aid when things go awry. (Sorry if I offend you, but seriously, you're asking for help in a development thread without knowing about which what you're actually asking for help? Really? Seriously?!)
No one has created a reliable method to fully supplant the Vibrant's recovery console, the OTA package that is normally used to flashed Android devices cannot be properly compiled and packaged for the Vibrant, users are still having issues building an AOSP directory structure—let alone a truly usable boot.img—and a complete system replacement is expected?! It really is no wonder why those really building apps and systems for various Android platforms avoid XDA, and leave it to those merely "cooking" as was previously the standard with WinMo.
(When is the interrobang going to be finally accepted as a true form of punctuation?! Really?!)

nice work, seems like a lot of devs are finally on this

People don't stay away from XDA because of the sometimes foolish questions people ask. They stay away because of the way they get treated by pompous d*cks like you that have no tolerance for people trying to learn and enjoy their devices more.
Everyone starts out without a clue and without help from others we'd all still be drooling on ourselves and sh*tting in our diapers.
Grow up and help out... or just go away.

[Q] dump rom from phone

Hi All,
Please would someone be so kind and explain how to make a rom from a phone using anything would be good, but preferably flashable via odin
What i am asking is how to dump an I9000 rom so that I can flash it via Odin on a I900 once again, not porting just a basic dump.

i'm interrested too

Really dude? Read stickies, search, read up a ton before posting stupidly pointless threads like this. Sorry, but this is a busy forum and people like you asking baseless questions aren't a part of it.
In case you didn't know, porting ROMs from devices is extremely hard. There is progress going on porting HTC Sense from the Desire HD but it's extremely time consuming and difficult even for very experienced devs.

Did you do a search? well there is FA info at all on this topic, and I am not looking at porting a rom, i simply want to dump my rom as is as a image.
dd i guess could work, but how the hell do make it odin friendly?

"this is a busy forum and people like you asking baseless questions aren't a part of it"

Which am I, the one asking the baseless questions or the one telling others not to? =P
Dumping a ROM is definitely different than porting from another device, but the way your question stated you wanted to take a dump from another phone (Desire for example) and then magically stick that in Odin and make it work or something. Sorry for misunderstanding.
I take it you want to dump your current ROM and then publish for others to use, like Nandroid backup style? I guess that might be interesting although I'll personally stick to cooked ROMs like Docs that are ready to flash with all optimizations and changes applied at the get-go.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life. Cryptic as it may be, but I guess the OP is interested in trying to make a backup.
I know samfirmware has most of the firmwares, but it would be nice to know how to create a flashable rom.

Some of us really would like to know how to do this. Samfirmwares does not have all the roms. They do not have the ntt docomo rom for japan on their site. The phone was just released the 28 October with the official 2.2 froyo rom on it. I would like to walk in the store dump the rom from their demo phone to sd card. Put the rom on my phone. I really want get my sp mode working. I have rom mananger. Does rom manager do rom dumps with the back rom option.

I agree this seems like a good idea, my bad for not understanding the Cyrptic OP lol
I don't think we get nandroid backups right now. I don't think anyone has taken a dump from a running SGS and turned it into a flashable ROM. I just know that Doc, Tatyuma and others have taken Samsung's packages and cooked them into their nice flashable zips.

[Q] Interested in rooting and flashing a custom ROM for the LGOB. [Q]

Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.

I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?

Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community

Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!

I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?

Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

Flash CWM10.1 Rom - Coming from DjangoManoucheX1.6.5_AdiosAmigos_30A

Dear all,
I am aware about other threads.
During yesterday and today I studied and tried to follow instructions.
Actually the regarding mobile is flashed with DjangoManoucheX1.6.5_AdiosAmigos_30A ROM.
It works fine but still old.
I just wanna change this MobileROM to Avatar ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167192
I understand that there might be an issue with Bootloader Old and New.
Here my understanding goes to hell.
I am not able to get my Mobile, which is for my son, to start the flashed ROM from above thread.
It always stays with running circle around CyanogenMod Logo.
There is no different if I use the nightly or RC version. Both shows the same.
But a ROM with new Bootloader runs perfect. I found the same through other threads.
Can anyone be so kind and help me by sending an instruction to get back the Bootloader for GB.
I used a NVflash tool but it always flashed the ICS again
I believe actually flashed is ICS.
Many thanks in advance for assit and help.

My dear friend,
I did not want to quote your post. But, flashing the GB (old) bootloader partition can be done with one of the CM+stock Hybrid combination ROM by Stefan (you can actually search it in the development section)....it should be in the first page or the second page.
There are two links....one to be done with recovery and the other with NVFlash method.
Use the NVFlash method and you will be in the GB bootloader + Baseband and you will be ready.
Hope this helps you
FORGOT TO MENTION: this is a Q&A section post and no meaning in opening a new thread in the development section. Please ask the MODs to close this. I have been a newbie....but its good to understand and correct this. THANKS

Thanks SREEPRAJAY for fast reply.
It seems that I am to silly to understand or to explain.
Whatever you mean with Q&A section and close of this thread, it may also possible to move him to right place.
But back to my issue.
This is exact what I have had yesterday.
I am able to understand the problem but the solution is a secret for me.
I had now searched fpr Stefan Gündhör and it the result left me in darkness.
I did not get the link fpr understanding what I have to do or easier for my mind, which ROM I have to use.
The bellyache is creating problems and my frustration is getting on critical level.
Close this thread if you would like.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504280 check the last post incase the link is not working from the OP
It is right there in the first page. This is one of the best GB ROMs ever cooked. So you will be happy mostly....but the evaluation depends on user's needs and choices.
Nevertheless, if this solves your issue, I am happy.
\Moving is a good thought....please ask the MODs by yourself.
Thanks for taking it in the right spirit my friend
EDIT: PM me if you need more help to avoid more irrelevant OT posts here in dev section. Thanks

Many Thanks Sreeprajay,
with the last post everything works.

CM7 (Android 2.3.7) for N7000 must of existed, at one point?

Hi All,
In my quest to try find a pure clean Gingerbread rom for the N7000 for old times, and nostalgic memories (from other devices).
After hearing there was no source, and it never happened... I've just noticed this post from another website, that claims it did... right up to Android 2.3.7 (the last of the Gingerbread) as all the bloated roms I see on GB are based on 2.36.
It appears the rom came from our very own, this site.... XDA. http://www.landofdroid.com/2011/samsung-galaxy-note-gets-unofficial-cm7-treatment/
Does anyone know anything about it, where I can find it...?? If you have it, can you please upload it.... And why is it so elusive?? As I thought GB was safe from the eMMC, and that it was only stock or leaked ICS kernels that were unsafe??
Thanks, Lister

Hi All,
Anyone know anything about this rom? Apparently it originated and was born from XDA forums...
If anyone has this file, would be very very interested, thank you... Lister

Same here but it seems it has disappeared...

well if someone have a backup please upload it, this is a legendary rom

Hi All,
Ok guys, a bit more research on the CM7 rom that was built for the Note (N7000) via someone here on the XDA forums....
I have since found these websites, giving more info about it...
http://mobiputing.com/2011/11/unofficial-cyanogenmod-7-build-for-the-samsung-galaxy-note/
and,
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ml+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a
And the file we are all seeking is called.... update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyNote-kang-signed.zip
If anyone has the above file, please could they let us know... I can't believe this rom, its thread, and the many users who may of flashed it back then, have all disappeared...???
Or was this the reason behind the eMMC BrickBug? (even though GB was supposedly safe?)
Thanks guys, hopefully we can find it...
Cheers, Lister

best way is to PM the rom creator netchip for the file.
could you do that i am too interested!

Hi ASMI1,
Aye, that would be good... but looks like it might be "easier said, than done" as it would appear NetChip has been banned from this community...
So not sure how else we can find out any more about this rom, I would of thought someone who had this phone in the earlier days might of had a backup of this rom... we just gotta hope someone who has, read this post....
Thanks, Lister

yeah that's our only hope for now
even google show no trace for this rom

Hi ASMI1,
Trust me, I've totally exhausted the Google searches.... Tried every kind of possible variant to try and find it....
N7000, i9220, i-717, Galaxy Note....
Thats how I got and found as much as I have so far... I just can't believe who ever uploaded it, only loaded it ONE SOURCE ever.... As that source is now dead, the link just takes you to spam / malware post...
Can't believe the thousand's who have this phone, neither remember it, backed it up, or are showing no interest in recovering it....
Sure, its a dated firmware, and with Lollipop just round the corner... But surely, everyone wants to step back in time once in a while, for old times sake... CM7 was a fine rom, even has powerful stuff in it, thats missing from all future builds...
Hopefully someone might come to our aide soon...
Cheers, Lister

Whats up with GB? Didnt the phone come with stock install

Hi @drulo222,
Yes, it did... But it only got as far as GB (Android 2.3.5 or 2.3.6) and was some 600 - 900Mb download, full of bloatware, lacked features other than TW stuff... and was badly optimized....
At least with the usual CM stuff, CM7 was only around 100Mb rom for this device, was running the latest and last GB build (Android 2.3.7) and so it would be nice just to see a polished version on our Device.... Esp for all those who grew up with CM7 on other devices (ie: my original ZTE Blade). It would appear at least a build was made for this device, but was only ever uploaded to one filehost, which now gives you MALWARE when visited... And all the users of N7000 appear to have never seen it...?????
Cheers, Lister

I thought cm is open source project; each one being incremented. I'm not sure if any cm would 100% percent be build for any particular version, yet this type of phone? Take the builds and see that there is always a newer one... but sure, that doesn't guaranty compatibility. I am saying cm7 probably isnt as expected from people... especially on more sophisticated phones. Anyway. id install one for test purposes.

Hi All,
Whilst still on the ever (elusive) hunt for CM7 for our Note/N7000.... I've uncovered more evidence that it did at one time exist...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/m1ai2/cm7_makes_it_to_galaxy_note/
So please, please, can you cheack your HDDs, or ya SD Cards, those who may of played around with it in the past (before I got my phone) and if ya have a copy of it, please re-upload it...
Many thanks, Lister

The more I see on this, the more I am starting to think this is bullsh*t.... and that no one here ever did manage to get CM7 working on the trusty Note!!!
Lack of posts, refences leads me to think we have more chances of finding Elvis alive than this elusive CM7 rom???
http://www.landofdroid.com/2011/samsung-galaxy-note-gets-unofficial-cm7-treatment/

Hi All,
Finally, I have found the thread where CM7 once existed for our Note. Even if NO ONE is aware it ever existed....
It appears it was almost complete, but then got pulled because it did not boot.... / Much like the build of CM7 on the i9100... that never booted on it's own, yet got published all over the place, inc the official CyanogenMod website back in the day... I managed to get the CM7 for i9100 with a custom Gingerbread kernel.
I feel that's all that's needed for the Note/N7000....
If anyone has this ROM, I don't care how complete/dangerous they think it is... 99% of failed flashes are fixed by official firmware and Odin. Grew up on CM7 with my first Smartphone, would be cool to see it on the Note.
I know we have CM14.1 these days, which is even more awesome that the old Note is still living strong even today... But would also be cool to see the old times too on it... lol
/ someone must have the rom? lol
Cheers, Lister
