Sorry if this has been asked but does anyone know where I can find or maybe you can give me the original kernel that came with Nero 5. I flashed the DoW kernel and my battery is losing 30% an hour with only texing. I would search but its hard because im at work and am on my phone. Thanks in advance.

I think the dev said not to flash another kernel, on top of dow, odin back and start fresh?
Not sure I think I read it on official nero 5 thread
Hmm. Ok. Ill see. Thanks for the help.

I'm new too the whole rooting deal, but I know I want to. I already downloaded the one touch program or whatever it is. I was really just wandering about overclocking my cpu.
I've read that I will need to install a new kernel but I don't know which one. I just don't want it to change the look or operation of my phone. I like the touchwiz and everything,i just want to speed it up. Does any one know what I should do?
Also if I root will I be able to do the 2.2 update when it comes out?
Thanks for any help I can get.

As a newb myself let me try and help. First off take some time and do alot of research on rooting, flashing roms and kernals. Read, read and read. There is alot of info here. It is possible to mess your phone up if you dont know what your doing. Now thay being said...... Using ryanza root plus lag fix is probably the easiest way to root. If your hard ware locked,well thats another story. And if you want to overclock you will need a custom kernal, remember what I said about reading. Now depending on the kernal you may or may not be able to get the 2.2 when it rolls out. Just take some time and educate yourself, and for goodness sake please make nandroid before you do anything drastic.

Like greggory said, you should check to see if you are hardware locked (cannot access download and recovery modes).
To check:
1 turn off your phone
2 Hold volume + and - and power buttons
3 Keep holding until you see the vibrant screen pop up a second time. Now release ONLY the power button, still holding volume + and -.
4 Keep holding volume buttons until you get to the recovery screen. Then release.
If your phone continues to boot normally, you are hardware locked.
If you are locked, go to the Bible thread and scroll until you see the hardware locked fix. Follow the directions there.
The Bible thread should have everything you need to know about modding your phone.

Thanks alot, I will check out the bible.
And good news for me, my phone is not hardware locked.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thats good its not locked. The bible is a great tool for info. I also read some of the post by bionix , involving custom roms. Check out there website. teamwhiskey.com. Just be sure you make a backup thru rom manager in case you mess something up. This is a awesome forum with alot of knowledgable people. Unfortunately Im not one of them....
Strange.. are only a select unfortunate few vibrants hardware locked?

It looks like JAC's OC/UV kernel would be the best for overclocking. Does that sound like a good assumption?
Would that change the way phone looks or functions, in terms of regular use like touch wiz?

I like the JAC kernel and no, it won't change anything about the way your phone looks. It'll just run faster
Great. Would you suggest the regular kernel or the voodoo one?
And thanks again for all the help.

I'm still learning too, although I know I'll never really dip into programming. I use Bionix 1.9 with Jac's kernal. I did have a problem with Pandora and the media player shutting off, but after adjusting the min mhz to 400, it hasn't frozen yet. I love this stuff. I just wish I could get an asnwer on how to flash some of the mods in the other forum like the clear notification bar. I posted in Q&A and never got a response. Too bad. I can't contribute, but I would still like to learn.....
So you haven't had any of the lag problems?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok, I guess I'm going with bionix 1.9 with JAC OC/UV voodoo. That sounds like a good tried and tested way to go.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
What is the difference between bionix 1.9 w/Jac's OC/UV kernel 1.1 and bionix 1.9 w/Jac's OC/UV/Voodoo kernel 1.1?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The voodoo kernel has the voodoo lag fix already in it. If im not mistaken.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Alright. Now I think I'm going to use bionix fusion 1.1. Do I need to flash that before or after JAC's voodoo kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
so the stock kernel isn't that good?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
From what I've read the voodoo kernel just has the added lag fix to speed up your phone more.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So is there any order to needing to flash bionix fusion and JACs OC/UV Voodoo?

Just odined back to jfd, rooted and used oclf lagfix. Question is can I flash from this point or do I need to remove lagfix?

Remove lagfix.

Thanks a million. I thought so but needed to be sure. P.s. I'm about to flash my FIRST custom rom any pointers.

The two top dogs around here imo are bionex or axura. Each have their own pros and cons (barely cons). I'm personal to Axura myself, although im still on nero v5. Been getting tired of redoing my homescreens over and over again. I suggest going into the release threads, found in developmet forum, for the respective roms and taking a look at screen shots and youtube search video reviews.
You really cant go wrong either way. Check out the rom bible thread for more awesome roms.
I would defantly stick with the Auxura rom or Som's Bionex rom, Ive bounced between the two, Each rom has it's own feel, while Axura's roms are ultra fast, The Bionex rom has more Gingerbread feel and smoothness, Make your own decesion, but as the previous poster said you can't go wrong with either of them.
Just a word of advice, get in the habbit of disabling Voodoo each time you flash, I made the mistake once and ended up softbricking the phone and it was a nightmare for me getting it back to stock via ODIN.
Good Luck
Actually, if you already have voodoo installed and the rom you're flashing to also has it, you don't need to disable it. I speak from experience

This is true, but new. It has only been that way for a little while. Also it ONLY is true if you are going from Voodoo 5 to Voodoo 5 (meaning the one that has the RED recovery).

Anybody can explain me how to enable JFS file system through ULK in Eugene's new kernel?
I have tried several times unsuccessfully, I toggled use JFS then my phone boots onto a loop, and keeps vibrating!
U didn't flash his kernel right.
Go to the dead horse thread.
Go to page 48 I think???
And a guy quoted the tutorial.
I used that after.my phone kept going into a bootloop.
But I also got rid of that kernel when my quadrant scores were like 400 less than voodoo.

Yes I found it... Odined KA6 now flashing Bionix v!
I used the search and couldn't find a clear answer to my question which is why I decided to ask. If the vibrant is updated to official 2.2 is it safe to just use odin to go back to official 2.1 or not? I am wondering this because I'm thinking of getting an extra vibrant of of ebay but most have already been updated to 2.2 which requires a different method to achieve root access and since I have all the necessary files for rooting and moding from 2.1 I just wanted to know.

i dont see why not...
Yes, you can odin back to stock from any ver. That is actually what everyone does when they run into trouble in order to start over and fresh. Also, you can easily root 2.2 now, you don't have to waste 15-20 min.

I've been searching threads for rooting 2.2 but haven't found one as simple as the update.zip file I used to root my vibrant and family members vibrants as well. Could you at least give me the name of the app or link to the thread you are referring to? That would be very much appreciated. But if I do get a used phone I think using Odin to get back to ji6 at least would be a good thing to do anyway since you never know what could have been done to the phone by prior users. I haven't searched for odin files for 2.2, but if they are available and rooting it is as simple as you say I guess that would be an option as well.

Good point I'll have to check for that incase it's been installed.

If it has been installed than the phone is most likely rooted already.

If he don't get back to you, use droidstyles guide in the general section
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I agree about droidstyles guide. I flashed TSM Resurrection and runnin smooth.i do have a small problem. I flashed cmall.tar and have red recovery. Rom manager wants me to flash cwm recovery and prompt me to choose my phone (epic 4g or s-i9000) do I choose one or do something else?
