kernel tester(s) needed - Sprint LG G3

normally i would NEVER ask someone to flash a kernel that i make before i get a chance but i dont get my hands on the phone till tomorow or so. all i did was build a stock kernel and unify it so vzw and spr have the same dt.img if you want here is the DOWNLOAD just report back here. please have a back up kernel just in case.

Tested, it didn't boot for me. Was booting, then restarted into recovery.

Got kernel to boot, using different ramdisk. Wifi and Bluetooth don't work.

[Q] Need Help With Kernel Boot Screen

I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S T959. When it turns on, it says "Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000", then the screen changes to "Samsung VIBRANT" I reflashed back to stock using odin, but it still shows the same gt-i9000 boot screen.
Does anyone know how to change it back to normal? So far, I have rooted the device, installed clockwork and flashed to the bionix rom, and installed sgs kernel flasher from the market.
I watched some videos online that showed the kernel boot screen changing after flashing a new kernel through sgs kernel flasher, but I dont know much about kernels or which one needs to be flashed.
Does anyone know what needs to be done, or have any ideas I should try?
Thanks
Well theres nothing wrong with that but it seems like it bothers you so which kernel did u used to odin???

This is happening because the phone in the past was flashed with an I9000 based kernel. Eugene I beleive used to make some back before we had Froyo. I also had that bootup screen for a while. I don't have it anymore.
I believe I lost it through one of the many kernel flashes I have done. Just flash some of the latest kernels. It MAY clear this issue for you though it really is not an issue.
It is just the wrong picture stuck in some folder on the phone. There is no harm done to your phone nor is there anything wrong or defective with it. The only thing is that it may bother you. If it does bother you, go on a flashing spree and flash some kernels and roms. I think sooner or later you will get rid of it without even trying when you upgrade your ROM/Kernel.
Thank you, I appreciate your replies.
I bought this phone from someone online, so it was like this when I got it. Therefore I am unsure of which roms/kernels were flashed onto it in the past. I have flashed many roms, but those only seem to change the boot animation. The kernel boot screen is staying the same. Like I said, I dont really know much about kernels.
Would there be one which you recommend I try that might fix it?
I know its not really a problem, but for some reason it just annoys me seeing it say gt-i9000 at startup.
My ultimate goal is to be running the latest build of team whiskey's bionix rom. I have no clue which kernel I should flash or that would work with it.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Try the bullet kernel.
http://edtdev.com/forum/topic/86-kernelbullet-1420ghz-4202011/
It is the fastest kernel for the Vibrant to date (1.42Ghz STABLE on most phones, outstanding battery life, all features and tweaks). It also has a custom boot screen which MAY replace your I9000 one. I'm saying MAY because I am not fully sure. In either case it is either the best or one of the best kernels for this phone to date.
As for ROMs, Team Whiskey quit Vibrant development around late February. They have moved on the the Nexus S and G2X so I'm not sure their latest ROM is the best. It's certainly an amazing ROM but there may be more recent ROMS which have more features or speed. Choice is yours.
You may try flashing some Froyo kernels from Eugene. Since his kernels likely introduced the I9000 boot you have now, flashing newer versions MAY get rid of it...who knows. Alternatively, there is another option if you are SET on getting it out.
If you flash with ODIN and also check repartition, I beleive ODIN will WIPE everything off the phone completely. Yes, all backups...everything will be gone but it should in theory also take that I9000 with it. It's a bit more risky than normal ODIN but the choice is there if you are set on it. Try the other options first and if you decide to do a repartition, READ on how to do it properly first.

Thank you, I tried to flash a few kernels and it seems to me like what you said about the wrong picture being stuck in the phone is what the problem is.
I Re-flashed with Odin and did a re-partition as well, but the image is still there. After rooting and flashing the bullet kernel, it still shows the gt-i9000 screen and then it switches to the bullet screen instead of the vibrant one it used to be.
After trying a few kernels, they all seem to replace the screen after the i9000 kernel screen.
Im going to keep trying to get rid of it, but i wanted to thank you for your response as I am one step further now.
Ah. Dumb-stuck image problem then huh. I thought the kernels would flash it right out. Well...you can ask someone above me about how to get it out.
Go to the EDT dev website. www.edtdev.com and join their IRC. See if a developer there can help you out with getting rid of it.
Also try the Team Whiskey IRC chat. They have more devs and people in their IRC that may be able to help. Their chat is located here:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=teamwhiskey&uio=d4
I'm sure someone at those IRC chats will help you out.
try flashing the stock "param.lfs" file through odin
Okay I have had this problem and know exactly how to fix it. What happened was whoever had that phone before you flashed an I9000 gingerbread kernel with I9000 gingerbread bootloaders, that's why it shows that every time. Here is what I did to fix it. I don't know if it has to be done this way, this is just how I did it.
Step 1: download both of these files
PDA:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23420259/Eugene_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5
PIT:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23420259/s1_odin_20100512.pit
Step 2: Flash those files through Odin, but make sure you uncheck repartition, as I have read that if you leave it checked while flashing those files you might end up with a hard bricked phone. It will boot straight into recovery after it's finished flashing and will have some errors, that's okay just click reboot system now.
Step 3: Odin back to stock 2.1 like normal.
After you do that and Odin back to stock 2.1 wait like 10 minutes and then flash whatever rom you like. After step 2 though you should be rid of that awful GT-I9000 boot screen. I just Odined back to stock 2.1 to get rid of the broken recovery. I don't think you have to do this.
Let us know if this helped you, so that if it doesn't work someone might have an alternate way to fix it.
Oh also before I forget, I have to give credit where credit is due. Those are files are Eugenes files and I am in no way saying that I developed or had a hand in developing them.

not sure...but if you are properly rooted, perhaps just reflashing whatever current kernel you are on will cure that (and the proper modules). Not 100% sure that is the cure, but from flshing various Mods, kernels and rooted applications which "killed" my phone, whenever I used my nandroid to get back to a normal place I have had to reflash the kernel to make WiFi work
I'm having the same problem. I'm running a stock kernel, please reply if that works for you.
I've searched the problem the only thing I could come up with was to re flash the kernel but since Im running the stock kernel and haven't flash another in the first place that doesn't help me much.

Ok, i got a LOT figured out with this phone last night. It seems that if you flash a custom kernel WITHOUT flashing the modules that go with that kernel in recovery, then you'll lose wifi and possibly some other stuff.
I had flashed a custom kernel and not correctly flashed the modules with it so therefore i lost wifi.
To fix this, simply reflash the kernel in fastboot and then go DIRECTLY into recovery from teh bootloader and flash the modules, then simply reboot. There's no need to wipe and cache or dalvik cache.
If you HAVEN'T flashed any custom kernel then just look for the stock kernel modules on this forum (a simple search will yeild results) and ket the unsecured stock kernel too and flash them and you'll be set to go.
Hope this helps you guys out

[Q] Stuck in Boot Loop not able to enter download or recovery modes

Ok...so flashing and rooting is not new to me. However I may have found myself in a pickle. I have an S3 that I gave to my wife. She did not like the CM nightly that I had on it. So I downloaded the original stock rom that came with it and flashed it with odin. Everything seemed fine, but on reboot, it loops. Can't get into recovery or download mode. Any Ideas. And yes....I have searched and thus far, I have found nothing that matches my scenario. I was reading somewhere where there was a sticky in the general forum about this stuff, but did not see anything.
Could use some help. I don't mind buying the wife a new phone....may do that anyway. But I have one more daughter that I could give this to if I could get it fixed.
Peace
When you first flashed it with oden, did you flash an insecure kernel (flash recovery)?
If so, do so, then enter recovery and select factory reset & cache clean, so it may boot.
It generally happens when data is left over from a different/incompatible kernel.

The first time was with CM and everything was fine. I used it for around a year with CM. I did a few updates from them. Then when i used odin to flash back to original I did NOT flash a kernel separately, if that is what you are asking. The kernel came with the rom. Perhaps I don't follow. At any rate I can't do anything atm because I can't get into recovery or download modes.

To clarify, cleaning (factory reset & cache) is for the kernel, all roms for this model come with a kernel. But they are different. A CM kernel for 4.4 is not going to downgrade well to a stock 4.3 (example version) kernel, without doing this. The boot loop is a pretty common result of not doing this, happened many times when upgrading (depending on how extensive the update).
So how do I get into tje phone without being able to go into recovery or download modes?

Need ideas to revive dead phone

I am having an issue with my note 2.
I was running custom rims since day one and never had any issues.
This past week I got stuck on aosp roms. It wouldn't boot touch whiz roms. So I wanted to try to Odin flash it back to stock. I used the mj9 file and it flashed ok (so says odin) but now all the phone does is flash the note 2 screen on start up amd thats it.
I can't boot into recovery and odin now fails every time.
The only thing I can do is get into download mode. Any and all help is appreciated. I am going to be upgrading soon to either the galaxy s6 or note 4 but would definitely like to get this one working in the mean time.
Bump
Load a custom kernel on the touchwiz based ROM. AGNI should work to make it boot. I am in the same situation.
Ill give that a try and report back.
It seems that the kernel gets flashed in recovery.
I can only get the phone to go into download mode and nothing else.
It either will flash the boot screen forever or will go into download mode. I can't get into stock recovery or anything
