Hey guys,
I know everybody is trying to crack the bootloader to be able to load froyo kernel. But why not get inside the SEUS update Roms, change the system.img and create a new ROM and then let SEUS patch the new custom ROM on it. inside the Opensource Kit from SE Website is basically all information needed to cross compile new froyo or even gingerbread kernel from scratch. And there would be no need to change the bootloader, except just to make sure the correct kernel image is loaded while booting (which should be able by simply renaming). This should work for both, android kernel and linux kernel.
You guys think its worth looking into it? Or am I totally wrong about this?

Thought you didnt know how to get into download mode.... nice edit.
You get to 2.2 or 2.3 by flashing it the same way you would any other file in odin.
Get the odin file from the dev section.
ya you helped me figure out my last problem, and i didnt want to start a whole new thread to ask my next question,
I tried explainig to you in your other thread you need to use odin... you wouldnt listen and here we are lol. read this guide, you can go to and from anything with it.

This is me, using stock ROM GB 2.3.3 v20G, rooted.
After awhile I learned that stock ROM can be overclocked by flashing custom kernel from CWM. So I did it, using paoloM70 and francoV1.1, my P500 now can be overclocked.
However, I want to have a flashable stock kernel for a backup, but I can't find it anywhere
well at least I've already tried googling and thread searching here using keyword "stock kernel"...I don't know the actual code version.
Will someone please help me find stock kernel and post a link in here?
Even better if we have stock kernel files for Froyo and GB, I'd like to see those.
Thanks in advance.

stock kernel is not availible as a zip,, you need to reflash your stock ROM usind kdz in order to get it back... and i'll recommend you to stay with franco.kernel for gingerbread if you're using stock ROM as it's the best.... else you can flash cm7 6.5.8 which is the best ROM for p500.........

DONT FORGET TO THANK ME IF MY ADVICE WAS HELPFUL FOR YOU )
extract it from the official LG boot.img. You'll need zImage and modules. Replace the ones in Paulo's .zip and viola, stock flashable kernel.

Hi every body,
I have been searching about 2 weeks in these threads but i couldn't find my answers.
I have a T-mobile samsung vibrant phone and I am slightly amateur about changing my ROM.
1- Is there any differences between T-Mobile and Samsung vibrant except sim-Lock? Can I use the ROM which mentioned in sasung vibrant thread?
2- I have 2.1 stock- rooted without CWM recovery yet, can I flash 2.2 ? if yes how(I don't have high speed internet connection so I prefer to flash it on my phone)?
3- How can I use CM ROM? Is it required to have special bootloader or something els? what are the bugs of CM Roms?
4- Please help me,
Thank you thank you thank you

Ok
1. The phone IS the Samsung Galaxy S
T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959. It comes sim locked fro tmo but it can very easily be unlocked by an app from playstore, if youd like but isnt required to flash custom roms. So yes Samsung vibrant=T-mobile vibrant.
2. The official 2.2 from Samsung is installed through kies mini but dont do it! There probably is an official odin image floating around as well but again dont worry about that. You are at the best place to begin using custom roms. All you need is to flash cwm recovery and its go time. I will link some threads for you. **You may run into some issue not having HS internet connection as there are a lot of files that need downloaded.**
3.In order to use a CM rom, you must have a custom (CWM) recovery. As far as boots, there are froyo bootloaders and gingerbread bootloaders. Most roms are fine with froyo boots, some recommend GB boots, some require GB boots and all will work with GB boots so its best to install GB boots. Any known bugs on a custom rom are usually posted in op. Some bugs in alpha and beta builds might not have been reported yet. Thus far, cm7 7.1-2=stable, cm9=stable, cm10=stable, cm10.1=beta. I havent used it myself but check the thread for bugs.
Read this thread first! It is the vibrant bible from N00B, a must read.

Hi there,
I recently encountered a very annoying error with the MT15i of my girlfriend and I can't make any sense of it. If the phone is powered down, it usually won't turn on anymore (with rare, unreproducable exceptions). I have to remove the battery for a few seconds and then everything is fine again. Using a "reboot option" in android works fine.
I already tried different kernels (suave, super stock, lupus) and different roms, even stock. Right now I am running Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (because the newest version won't boot).
The bootloader is unlocked.
I hope you can help me find the cause of this error.
Best wishes

strange problem try changing the rom
by the way switching on the phone has nothing to do with rom
it's kernel related
it can be a hardware issue
try locking the bootloader if testpoint method was applied and revert back to ics and sort problems through catlog
First of all, thank you all for your suggestions.

I unlocked the bootloader using the method described at https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/bootloader-unlock , should I still try to relock the bootloader?
As I mentioned in my initial post, I already tried using the original firmware, i.e. stock ICS and sadly, it did not work.
Will a logcat give me information about the shutdown and startup process? Is there any way to get some sort of "kernel log"?
Is there any way to find out, whether it is hardware or software related?

As I mentioned before, I already tried flashing stock ROM and kernel ( 4.1.B.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 ) and both of them didn't resolve the issue. The phone still will, most of the times, only boot after I removed the battery for a few seconds.

OK..from what I see. I'm betting you have a bad download. Try to download the kernel again and flash it. If you're tab is up and running you can grab the zip and flash it from recovery...just wipe cache and dalvik cache...flash kernel..but you need to make sure that kernel will boot with the ROM you have flashed...
If you're looking to just upgrade to the newest version of overcome. I would suggest you to get the zip file..wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system...then flash the ROM zip from recovery...
Also...are you're recoveries on this device separate from you're kernel or tied together...

Second or third paragraph in the guide you linked me to...
Also, based on experience, if you want to upgrade to other ROMs in the future you will have to keep your stock GB ROM file, your gt-p1000_mr.pit, the dbdata.tar and the entire Overcome kit (kernel and ROM). You will need all of them in the future because I've found that to install a new ROM you have to repeat the entire process of restocking to GB, then installing Overcome Kernel and ROM, then installing whatever ROM you want. It sucks, but it's the only way I've seen so far.
My take on this is that you need to go back to stock GB...then overcome...I'll read more to make sure..just thought I'd share this real quick as I just seen it..

You need to flash the overcome 4.0 kernel tar using Odin...let it do its thing..it changing system files. It will boot.
