[Q] quick question about flashing kernels - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

OK so I have a quick question about flashing kernels. I want to flash a new kernel for better battery life I know I do that in my recovery like a ROM. But what does it mean to fix permissions and where do I fix them at and how do I fix them?

The instructions should tell you where and what to change. Then use Root Explorer to browse to the file or directory and change it. Although most kernels are flashed via Odin as far as I know and am used too.

What kernels have you been flashing through Odin??? Only one I can think of is the pre-release one for 2 mins while you unlock the phone.
I've been doing all mine through TWRP. So far used faux's and KToonez's kernels

I haven't flashed any yet. The most I ever did was on my S3 trying a few roms with nandroid backups.

Are you using rom manager? If you are then stop. Make sure you wipe system,boot, and caches before flashing the rom. Download and use 4ext recovery instead of cwm. Its much better and don't use rom manager.

I downloaded 4ext I love the recovery on 4ext i will try it with 4ext and get back to you
Use the wipe all except SD card option before flashing roms. It wipes all the necessary things for you with that option.

I would say try ext 4, but I really don't want you wiping the SD out because that could suck if your SD contains things you don't want to use.
Wait for disconnecktie to reply. He knows more about it. I guess this makes my reply pointless. Haha. Oh well.

Go into the wipe format menu and select the option St the bottom wipe all partitions except SD card and that is all you need to do before flashing

I dont remember what version of sense that rom is but to save battery you could try undervolting. Someone with more knowledge of skyraider should assist you there though. I personally have never ran skyraider on the thunderbolt.

I had great battery life with Skyraider 1.3 with the stock settings, definitely better than the stock ROM. It was better with the .9 radios vs the .19 radios - you could try a radio swap.
Did you make any other changes? New apps/sync settings etc?

[Q] Switching Recoveries.

I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance.
What I've been reading on here twrp works best...

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

[Q] Clockwm isnt backing up ics

So i just rerooted my thunderbolt and flashed cwm. The cwm verion is v4.0.4.1
and i read a post about cwm not backing up ics because i guess there are more than 10k files. But i didnt understand how they tried fixing it. Is there an easy way? i have ics and am not sure what is happening. the device hangs at backing up system and the bar is gray with not scrolling indicator. Please help, i want to try the official ics rom debloated and other roms.
Im not sure if i need to update my cwm version.
You need to flash a different recovery. I prefer 4ext personally but twrp is free and up to date as well. There are also issues with CWM not wiping correctly and causing a lot of issues on people's phones.

Usually if I remember correctly from my s3, the stock tar files include the stock recovery. It restores the phone to in box settings

thanks man! thats all i need to know))
this is what ill flash in ODIN right : http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SCH-I605/official/I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_VZW.zip
I believe so but it would be great if someone else who has gone full stock on this device to chime in. My experience going to stock was on the s3.very similar just wanna double check with someone else too. I never Odin ANYTHING unless I'm 100percent sure that it's correct
And as you might know, CHECK md5. A bad tar flash will most likely hard brick your device. It's not the same as a bad rom flash

Installing TWRP

Guys I have a 1/8 2100 which is rooted via framaroot and Supersu installed. I've read loads of posts saying install open recovery script via goomanager, problem is I don't have a menu button in goomanager. So I click on flash rom and it asks if I have recovery installed, I choose no and to search and download one for me. It finds TWRP and downloads it but doesn't flash it. I can locate it in goomanager/downloads but how do I install it

Think need to wait for the boot.img to be compatible with 1/8GB EU 2100.
Thanks mate, I'll keep and eye on that thread.

Yeah...you have to root device before you can flash recovery.
It'll be available in a next few days - I'm sure...

On 2100? Latest firmware?
Why don't you use then goomanager?
Use xposed module to reduce size / layouts of app and you'll see btn.
If course I'm not 100% that's the problem, I still haven't received my watch...but it should be OK

Didn't think of that, but what's with no boot. Img available not sure how that effects me

Don't know but my guess would be -
TS have unlocked bootloader, so that means you can flash custom kernels.
I guess some dev use boot.img (kernel) add recovery in it and you could fastboot that or flash using some other tool...
I repeat - I still don't have my TS, so all this is just something I think they did.
I'm sure there explanation in OP (thread where's that method)
But if you are already rooted, goomanager should work - at least it would work on phones...

I've downloaded the TWRP. Img file through search for it in goomanager. For some reason probably down to dpi, there's no menu option at the top of the app like there is normally, so there's no option to install open recovery script. With this. img file, can it not be flashed via stock recovery

As I said, I'll know more when my watch comes...
It shouldn't be that hard but Omate fuc**d us all...
Develipers editon, yeah right...
Crappie firmware, not rooted...uff...
I think KS will never see me again.
It's one thing to fail but to make fouders or backers total idiots - hmm...I'm not buying that...
But we'll see which firmware will my watch have...it's like kids playing and sending those watches...
I mean...I'm trying to get my tracking nr from them for a three days?!

I cannot make goo manager work for installing twrp. I can't find the script.
Is there another simple way to install twrp recovery ?
