I assume you downloaded the kernel source but not the whole source required to build a rom. Have a look at source.android.com, which contains the most basic steps required to build Android. Ask here for help again after your first build failed

Following the guide at android.com, I have successfully built a system.img. But I am facing the following issue:
1) When I try to flash system.img on my device (galaxy trend S7392) ODIN reports Fail. I am not able to get any further regarding how to flash it or why the flash is failing.
2) I am googling it since long, but all the guides I can find direct to CM sources or Nexus family of devices, which provide a convenient way of extracting proprietary binaries from the phone. But I can't find a single tutorial/guide/information over how to identify the same and then integrate these binaries into the AOSP source code.
For now, the #1 is more concerning to me. Can you please help?

Thanks for the reply green.
Yes, I have the system folder. You mentioned CWM flashzip. I am currently using STOCK recovery. Will that flashable zip work? If not, I need to have CWM recovery installed on my phone. And as far as I know, CWM is not available for GTS7392 as of now.
Do you have any other solution?

this should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957 (ensure you have an unlocked bootloader)

The second command will back up your system, you may flash it this method failed.
And also make sure that your system.img has no problem (I can't help if this occurred, no experience of compiling sources =P)
anyway, when using dd, ensure you have a backup of the target 'of', and make sure you can flash it back even it fails, and my way may not be the most appropriate way, try out others suggestion too =D

I have the .tar.md5 of stock ROM, so backup is not a issue.
The link you have suggested is merely for making update.zip for Android Applications, not the Android System . I am looking to flash system.img
Regarding system.img has no problem, I currently don't have a way to find out if the package is error free. I am searching for the same.

Although editing a stock rom seems to be easier than that of what I am trying to do, I am quite interested in the learning and gaining experience involved in the Compilation and Porting Android to a particular device. That's why I am trying to compile it from source.
Can you link me somewhere to learn editing stock rom too?

ROM: GingerMod 2.3.6 #7
Recovery: CWM (as stated in the OP) 5.0.0.*
Zip: Root of SD card
Everything else: yep, I've flashed a ton of ROMs on this phone. This specific one (GingerMod) is the only one that's given me problems.
Hi All.
I'm relatively new to all this so go easy on me.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 on T Mobile.
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXLPQ
Kernel Version: 3.0.1 5-i9100XXLPQ-CL223505
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPQ
I've tried to root it using a method I found on here, I think it was by chainfire, the Odin app said it was a success but when the phone reboots it just freezes and doesnt go any further.
I want to have the cyanogenmod rom on my phone with it fully rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have searched this forum for answers but its pretty vast.

This is an insecure kernel for android build UMKK1, which is Gingerbread.
You have an XXLPQ build, which is ICS.
You need to use a kernel that is closer to your build. There is an LPQ kernel in the CF-root thread, flash that. (make sure to use the one labelled as "proper", it fixes some stuff)

Originally my phone had Gingerbread - which is why I used that kernel. However, I then thought it had rooted. So installed ICS. Downloaded Rom manager and it tells me my phone isnt rooted.
Should I still use that one?
Do I need to do anything after that?

Is the information in post 1 still accurate? Is that what is CURRENTLY on your phone? Then use the LPQ "proper" kernel in that thread I linked. Instructions are in post 1 of that same thread, but the short of it is: find the kernel that matches your build, and flash with Odin. (I already told you which one) That should be all you need to do. That will show the Triangle when you boot the phone, but if you don't care about that showing, then you're done.
So you're saying your reason for using the UMKK1 Gingerbread kernel was because you were PREVIOUSLY on Gingerbread? Well, you installed ICS. Your kernel changed along with it. You'd now have to use an ICS kernel to root ICS. Make sense?

Hi there, it rooted, so thanks for your help with that.
However, I tried installing cyanogenmod from the latest one listed in the Rom Manager. It downloaded, the phone re-booted into recovery. I deleted cache and data, then installed the zip file from sd card, however it came up that it had failed and was aborted.
So now it's rebooted and is back to 4.0.3 but with all my data gone.
Man this sucks.
Hope you can help mate

I don't use CyanogenMod, but I would avoid using ROM Manager if I were you. Why don't you just follow the instructions in the CM discussion thread? And which CM are you attempting to install? CM7, or CM9? (one is Gingerbread, and the other is ICS)
BTW - you would have had to delete all data, going to either version of CM anyways, as file system is a bit different between AOSP and Samsung based firmwares.

CM9 discussion thread. Has installation instructions in post 1, which don't involve using ROM Manager at all. As I said earlier, I'd avoid using ROM Manager; it often misbehaves on this device.
Here's some advice... even though I don't use CM (7 or 9), I found that that thread in 1 second by typing "cyanogenmod9 i9100 xda discussion thread" into Google. It was the first result that came up.
I know forum search sometimes is down, but I actually prefer to use Google for my searches anyways. You can even limit searches to a specific site by including "site:" followed by whatever site you are interested in limiting your search to.
For example, if I wanted to search the xda forums for i9100 rooting techniques, I'd Google:
site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 rooting techniques
This will return a Google search for "i9100 rooting techniques" that are within the forum.xda-developers.com domain.
Rule #1 of the forum is to search before posting anyways... I know you're new to most of this, but you'll find people will tend to either not help or will be kind of mean if you post commonly asked questions.
Hope all this helps.

Boot to recovery. You'll know because CWM recovery has MANY more options than stock recovery. Stock recovery you can only wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and maybe a couple other options. I don't exactly remember, it's been so long since I've had stock recovery.

Sometimes it's just a matter of inputting the right search terms.
Anyways, I'd also advise you to follow the "noob-proof" installation instructions only on that CM9 discussion thread. It is the most straight-forward, and involves the fewest amount of steps.

These are really basic and common questions that you are asking and can be easily found by searching. I'm just giving you a fair warning, because you will be flamed by others for not searching.
Creating backups via CWM is not a requirement to flash anything. It is highly recommended that you do create backups though (especially if you're new to this), in case something goes wrong while flashing stuff.

And with that, i will close this here, and advise further searching in the future (if you are willing to do something that can hose your phone, please take 10 minutes, and read the basic guides on what to do... it will be a life saver..)
After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

Just do as Pirate says and you will be fine. Dont worry about the kernel because the rom you want will have the appropriate kernel packaged in

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Thanks, that makes much more sense.
Ok, so for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005266
How do I do an EFS backup? I have searched this, but haven't found anything specific to this phone. Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
The next step is to do a FULL BACKUP. I did a backup in CWM Recovery. Does that work?
When I move the ROM to my phone, do I take the whole zip file? Is there any particular file(zImage?) I point to when flashing through CWM or is it the whole zip file?
Thanks again for all the help.
I successfully flashed SHOStock2.
Thanks for the help guys.

Use any EFS Backup App

Yepp that is a Nandroid backup

Nope just keep the whole zip and select it in CWM
Thanks again for all the help.

Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Yes on the full wipe before flashing the new ROM.
What else are u trying to retain besides apps and their data? If that's all TiBu is fine

It would be nice if I didn't have setup e-mail everytime, but if I can keep my apps and their data with TiBu, that should be fine.

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
Hi i have a problem with my tab SC-01C docomo Galaxy Tab P1000, i cant flash overcome 4.0 with my tablet when i try to use ODIN it keeps on failing and stops in Boot.bin and will bricked, btw its Gingerbread OMKE2 already, i dont know if my bootloader is lock or what, i saw somethread here that if its already gingerbread dont use the loader because it can mess up the system, so please tell me what should i do. :crying:

Put a link to the ROM thread so I can see if you need an ICS boot loader or any other prerequisites... I don't have this device..but I'd be more than happy to help you track down the issue

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...

Edit...I just read that if you trying to flash cm 10.1...you need to restock because of the partition changes...

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..

Read that guide you linked...man. The answers are there for you...I just read some more of it...
But basically...you need to go back to GB...but first you need to flash the pit file from Odin to repartition the partitions...then Odin the GB ROM ...then overcome..its all in that guide...read...read...read.
If you have any questions about the the process let me know...

If you're on stock GB .. I would assume you can flash overcome...that's how I read it...but flash the ROM. It has the kernel in it. I don't know if the overcome kernel will boot on stock GB. I didn't read that far. Maybe its a GB kernel. If it is..you can flash it..I assume.
You know what..give me a second and I'll read a bit more...don't want ya getting messed up..

Man...there is a great guide with pics if you click on the Google docs link...anyway.
You need to flash the overcome 4.0 kernel tar using Odin...let it do its thing..it changing system files. It will boot. After it up...boot to that recovery and flash the wipe all zip( put this on youre device before you flash the kernel )..reboot. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want from this setup..
