I am using ziggys kernel and seem to be experiencing battery drain, Ive been using for 3 days. Can someone explain how to restore to stock kernel. I have searched through forum, sorry if this is already posted. I have the stock boot.img, can I rename this to PH98IMG and then but the .img file on the root of sd card and boot into fastboot? Thanks in Advance
Flash PH in bootloader, flash the other one in recovery. it will still say ziggy's kernel while installing, but it is actually reverting it. I was too lazy to change the text.
Thanks! Im trying it now.
Edit: It worked Perfectly! Thanks again.
Just to be clear on this one, you should flash the lib file first THEN reboot and hboot the PH file correct? I tried the reverse and it locks up if I just update the PH since you can't go into recovery afterwards because it keeps finding the PH file.
But if I do the reverse seems to work solid.

Thanks much. Finally I am able to sleep at night without worrying about my phone bootlooping and not waking me up at 7:00AM.
I have unlocked, rooted, made nandroid backup before flashing ziggy's kernel with cwm. I have seen to diferent answers on here about getting back to stock kernel. I have heard all I have to do is reboot into recovery and restore nandroid. I also have heard I have to flash the stock kernel. How exactly do I go back to stock kernel?? Also if I wanted to try another kernel, do I have to get back to stock kernel before flashing another one?
Download the stock kernel located at the bottom of the first post HERE.
First, and most importantly, make sure you have no PH98.IMG files on the root of your Sdcard, if so delete them. After your nandroid restore, go back to the main menu in recovery and power down the device.
Extract the Boot.img from the Stock kernel downloaded and flash via fastboot. Reboot the phone and you should be good.
sorry i'm a noob with the htc devices. Ok so i've downloaded the stock rooted kernel. after that, I erase that PH98.IMG from my sd. shut my phone off, pull battery, put battery back in, hold down power and -vol, select recovery with power button, go to back up/restore, then run nand restore, go to main menu and power down. after that i'm lost!! I downloaded stock rooted kernel on my computer, where do I extract the boot.img to and how do I flash it with fastboot? I'm sorry i'm a noob!!
Thanks in advance
Unzip it to the same folder you have fast boot in. Open cmd window and CD to that directory. Then fastboot flash boot boot.img

what about the boot.img thats in my nandroid backup folder? couldn't I just flash that with fastboot? still not sure how to flash with fastboot.

I don't see why not...should be the same file if it is indeed a stock nandroid.
ok thanks!! sorry i was thinking I didn't need to se my computer. think I got it now. So from now on if I want to try diferent kernels I have to do this to go back to stock before switching to another kernel right?

It's cool. In order to flash kernels/recoveries we need to do so through fastboot from the PC because we are not S-Off. We just have to deal with it but it's not all that bad.
You don't necessarily need to go back to stock, you can flash a modded kernel over an existing on, however, you need to make sure to flash the modules that come with the boot.img from that kernel as well. Otherwise you may have issues such as wi-fi not working.
thanks so much. what exactly is or does s-off and s-on mean? I'm used to my ogdroid and droidx

The S stands for "Security". While we have an unlocked bootloader aka. S-On we cannot flash new/leaked radios or kernels in recovery (.img or image files). Only S-Off devices can do that.
The HTCdev unlocked bootloader allows us to almost anything to the phone except flashing radios that are not signed by HTC. For kernels, we need to flash them in fastboot which is essentially a workaround.
That may not be the best explanation but it's time to leave work . Searching will provide you with more detailed information.
To those that responded to the op, I commend you. This was about the most civilized conversation I have seen in quite awhile, along with giving out the info requested. This is what I signed up for on XDA.

Yeah I am very happy with the fast and polite answers I got. I have seen some other people post questions like mine on here and get nothing but rude comments back with no answers. So I was a little hesitant to even ask,but i'm glad I did. Thanks again to everyone that helped me out!!

Those are the files you would need in order to run the stock kernel if you don't want to restore your nandroid. Flash the stockmodules.zip in recovery and place then flash the PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader.

Does anybody need rom images of uninitialized bell Canada notes?
Yes, but I kind of get the feeling that Bell Note owners are somewhat of a pariah on here....

I wouldn't mind getting the images, if possible. Actually only need the recovery image. I haven't touched any of the others yet.
I have a Bell Note and am planning to try and pull the system.img, kernel, and recovery before I try ICS. Just trying to figure out how to get all three. I'm thinking from what I read that I can only get two of the three. Flash Da_G's 3e recovery +adb root and grab the system and kernal but lose the recovery. Or (and I'm not as clear on this one) flash his pre-rooted kernel and grab system and recovery and be missing the kernel. Catch 22 I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you look on this thread below, there is stock kernel link there. So flash rooted kernel, grab the two others, and then restore the stock kernel from the link below.

I had found that, but the part I'm fuzzy on is does flashing Da_G's pre-rooted kernel change anything about the stock ROM that would make pulling it irrelevant?

I don't know. I just got the Note this saturday passed. Soo excited. But I'd suggest, if you haven't flashed anything yet, get a hold of braway. He seems to need raw data from Bell Galaxy Note to help restore flash counter to 0.
Check out this link if you would like to do that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24349492&postcount=109
I found that link too late, and had already flashed CWM.

So braway got back to me. Long and short of it is one person Note can't give all the data. Some data needs to be lost so the rest can be pulled. On the up side, between two people, we can get all the data we need. One person to pull kernel, modem, mdm, and system by flashing CWM, and one person to pull recovery and flash counter data by temp flashing mashi's rooted AT&T system. This way we'd have everything. I volunteer to grab the former (kernel, etc). If someone else would grab the recovery and flash counter, we'd be in business.
Thank you so much to braway for the help, and marshals for pointing me in his direction!

I've already lost the original recovery due to me installing CWM and my flash counter is at 1. So no help from me. Sorry. But everything else is untouched, so if anything else is needed, i'll be glad to help.
Just a little warning. If you flash is, you will loose youth stock bell modem. If you are doing a system pull. Do a modem pull with adb as well

Okay marshal, braway suggested we work together on this. Assuming you've done nothing else to your Note (root etc), if you can pull kernel, modem (amss), mdm, and system, I'll grab recovery and flash counter data. Braway already showed me how to pull kernel, etc in PM. See quote below. Let me know if you're able to do this. Otherwise, we'll need to find another person and different division of labour. Thanks!
braway said:
so, the easiest is probably to simply install cwm through odin
that will increase the counter, but doesn't touch system, kernel, modem...
then, boot to recovery
cwm provides you with root shell access through adb, so you can pull all the data you need...
I think the important data is:
kernel, modem (amss), mdm (part of modem?), system
commands (would dump the data on your internal sd, the sds are mounted differently in recovery):
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/emmc/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/emmc/amss.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/emmc/mdm.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/emmc/system.img.ext4
Note: that would dump it on your internal sd, replace emmc with sdcard if you want it on your external sd

I did root it, but it didn't touch the kernel. It was a video I watched from zedomax. The superuser-3.0.7-efgi-signed.zip. All it does is remove existing su, copy over superuser, change modes and thats basically.
I will do the commands you suggested and zip them up and dropbox them.

Ok, its syncing to dropbox as I am typing this and it says an estimated time left is about an hour. Speed 120 KB/s. File is 527MB. Should I PM Braway with the link or post it here? If its got personally identifying data (account info etc) I'd rather just PM Braway.

Braway only wants the flash counter which I can give him. But I can't give it to him if I don't have a backup of stock, kernel, etc for my own use. The whole reason I'm doing this is so I can revert to stock without AT&T stuff on my phone if I decide to go back (e.g.: for OTA update when Bell releases ICS in May). As I understand it, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a rip of the ROM doesn't have personal info in it. If it does, I apologize for you doing all that.
Oh, ok.. I wouldn't think there would be info either. Any of that stuff would be in /data I suppose.
Essentially, I'm trying to make a stock Bell ROM so that anyone can go back to stock without having to use the stock AT&T ROM that some Canadian Note owners have been running into issues with.
Now that the new hboot doesn't allow S-ON devices to flash kernels I went ahead and adapted this for the LTE. It's something I started for the Evo 3D back in January, but when a new way to get S-OFF was found I sat it aside and had forgotten about it.
When used it tries to flash the kernel like normal and doesn't do anything special if able to, otherwise it will copy a script to the system partition and install the kernel when the ROM tries to boot up. All that's needed is for a few lines to be added to the updater-script and it can do the rest.
I'll update this with more information at a later time, but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped contribute ideas and tested. As always, any help with improving it is welcomed.
How To Use It
This is mainly for ROM and kernel devs to use before releasing, but it can easily be added to any that don't normally use it. For more detailed instructions see Page 3.
Download and add the "kernel" folder to your update zip
Edit your updater-script and use the following when you are ready to install the boot.img
Code:
ui_print("Installing Kernel, please wait...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
package_extract_dir("kernel", "/tmp/kernel");
set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0777, 0777, "/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/kernel/install_kernel.sh", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/bootready.tmp");;
ifelse(file_getprop("/tmp/bootready.tmp","kernel.ready") != "READY",(
ifelse(file_getprop("/tmp/bootready.tmp","kernel.ready") == "STARTUP",
ui_print("Kernel Will Be Installed On Startup."),
ui_print("ERROR: Kernel Not Installed!")
)
));
Sign the zip and it can then be installed like normal from any device with a custom recovery
Changes
v0.57
flashboot.sh - Fixed the case statement that verifies the kernel flashed properly
flashboot.sh - Moved the call for DD to save the old kernel so that it always gets used
Downloads/Sources
Kernel Folder on DevHost (MD5: 27eB86aae3562e147d86b8dfe7a04786)
Google Code
Github - All files including the flashboot binary source
How Can I Test It With S-OFF?
If you comment out the dd command that writes the boot.img it will act like your device has S-ON.
Edit install_kernel.sh and change:
Code:
echo "-Trying to write the new boot.img and verify it's MD5"
$BBDD if=$BOOTPADDED of=$BLOCKBOOT; sync
rm -f $BOOTOLD
to:
Code:
echo "-Trying to write the new boot.img and verify it's MD5"
#$BBDD if=$BOOTPADDED of=$BLOCKBOOT; sync
rm -f $BOOTOLD
Where Are The Log Files?
In the recovery it uses: /tmp/recovery.log
On boot it uses: /data/local/bootinfo.txt
What Does This Need To Work?
A custom recovery
A valid kernel already installed with init scripts to start either /system/bin/app_process or /system/bin/netd
What Recoveries Does It work With?
Most of my testing has been done with TWRP, but it should work just as well with any other recovery
Why Did My Phone Reboot Back To The Recovery?
If it is unable to flash the kernel it will leave the old one in place and reboot back to the recovery. If you are able to, please pull the log file from /data/local/bootinfo.txt and send it to me so I can see what needs to be fixed.
What If I Get A Bootloop?
Either the kernel you flashed doesn't work with your ROM or there was an error and it's unable to reboot back to the recovery. If you hold volume down it should bring up the bootloader, from there use the volume and power buttons to select 'Recovery'.
Why Does My Phone Boot Straight To The Bootloader?
You either managed to wipe your boot partition (kernel) or sometimes this will happen when upgrading hboots. If you are S-ON you will need to flash a new boot image from fastboot.

I used Flash Image GUI on my NS4G all of the time. The last 2 updates were to add this phone and the Nexus 7. It takes about 10 seconds to flash a kernel or recovery img. Its a JoeyKrim app...so you know its legit. It actually saved me last night when testing a N7 kernel overclocked over 1.99. . The kernel somehow made my N7 not boot to recovery no matter what I tried so I stuck a different kernel in that app, flashed it and once it booted I flashed the CWM 6.0.1.0 and I was completely fixed. Money well spent.
Edit..XhausX, I bought my first 2 HTCs ever about 2 weeks ago. They are both s on 1.13 but I need to either return on to full stock or use your rooted stock. I need to help my mother out. She's using a Samsung Moment! Ouch.... I am downloading that now. Is it a simple wipe and flash? If its more difficult, I will gladly shoot a donation your way if you can help me. I think I prefer her to be rooted stock so your odex version is the call...should have mentioned I know squat about the HTC methods. Regaw_Leinard got me where I am now

Since the kernel is only writeable from the rom this does something similar, except it does it after you flash the rom and it's automatic.
You could look at it as the rom itself installs it's own kernel. That's one of the reasons why it may look so convoluted, but for a rom/kernel dev to actually implement it is easy once you know how it works.

If you no longer need it rooted personally I would get s-off first and then run the latest RUU to restore it to stock. That way you'll always be able to re-root anytime without hassle, but the device can still be completely stock and used normally.

Usually it's best to run it last so everything else is already in place. It will also check the recovery for the mount point, so that line won't be needed with it.
For your paranoid android rom you could use something like this: http://pastebin.com/rGVDKK2u
I'm not able to test it atm though so you'll probably want to verify it's good first.

And of course the Dropbox link is now dead too .
I am super frustrated right now, because of the fact I rooted my phone a year after I got it and there aren't enough devs supporting this phone anymore.. :crying:
Anywhoo, I have Unlocked my BootLoader and I have set up my custom recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0 since the latest doesn't work for my phone. I have Access with SuperSU going through the pain of updating the binary. Now, my latest problem and only problem that hinders me from using the Roms I desire is, I'm stuck at BootLoop. My phone shows the HTC logo and then reboots.
I super wiped, I did wipe before and after, I tried all methods of wiping, unless wiping isn't the same anymore from the OG EVO days.
The ROMS, I would like to install is Paranoid Android, BeanStalk, CM Nightlies 10.2, & SuperNEXUS.
I have Tested only BeanStalk and SuperNexus and they both do the same exact thing which brings me to bootloop. The great thing about it is, which is kind of strange but i'm very thankful is that, I can still Restore my phone with my back up! =D
So far I have used TWRP, I don't really feel comfy with using Clockwork. Due to previous experiences, It just doesn't give a clean wipe IMO.
YES, I have S-ON.
Do i really need S-OFF to run these Roms? My phone is updated with 3.17, and everything from the last update a week ago, I believe.
I just did everything within the last 24 hrs.
PLEASE HELP ME! =(

If this works for my phone and I end up running the Beanstalk or which ever ROM.
Do I need to Run another Boot.img to Restore my Rom from Backup?
Or Will it back up on its on, Because its the Stock rom?
Thank you, again.

It's always a good idea to have at least one backup on your sdcard.
No you won't need to flash the boot.img if you restore your backup.
You will only need to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a new rom for the first time

Fastboot flash the boot.img from bootloader or use FlashimageGUI from the playstore then boot into recovery and flash the rom

I know I'm going to have to do it myself. Just trying to avoid it. I already relocked once this week to test BabyRacun (which I also requested be updated, btw).
Onandroiding now in prep for full stock mode. I'm hoping someone steps up and I don't have to do it.
