What is this:
This is the Verizon Xperia Play R800x Stock Kernel for 2.3.3 WITH OVERCLOCK TO 1.6GHz.
What works:
Absolutely EVERYTHING!
What doesn't work:
You tell me.
Who deserves credit:
KeiranFTW <-- This Guy
and all our other developers which always have helpful info when I google something!
Story:
KeiranFTW made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400127
but WiFi was broken for R800x.
So I fixed it!
How? Used his kernel with stock ramdisk.
How to use:
1. Download file attached to this post: r800x-stock-overclock.img
2. You must have unlocked bootloader.
3. using fastboot type in the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot r800x-stock-overclock.img
4. This will not erase your data.
5. This has only been tested on R800x with stock 2.3.3.
Note:
The original kernel had recovery added (by pressing back button on boot), this one does not have that recovery.
You can use this recovery instead: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler, after installing press VOLUME DOWN after bot to enter recovery.

Great job! Any chance of getting the recovery back in the kernel tho? Either way, again, great job!
Bravo good sir, bravo, keep up the good work!

Sorry, probably not ... is there anything that the recovery in kernel does that the one that gets installed with the app doesn't?

It's kinda nice having it in the ramdisk, because then you never have to worry about it (because it works on boot, no matter what )

I see, that makes sense ... If you flash a custom ROM and it goes wrong you'll have to get back to a PC to fix it if you don't have recovery in the kernel.
Ok, I can try ... But I've never done that before so any pointers would be great.

That is what I was thinking ... We would be back at square one.
For learning purposes I will go in there and figure out what they change to get recovery on the kernel ... If I can add just that to the ramdisk then it shouldn't break WiFi.

Well, yeah. If the /system directory is wiped you essentially wipe the recovery.img that the app installs, whereas the recovery would still be available (when inside the kernel) provided the boot partition is still there

If you are on gb I am working on a compatible recovery right now. Once I get it done you will be able to use the features in Rom manager but not flash recovery via Rom manager

I just rooted my view last night.. I flashed recovery once, enough to put the SU file on SD card to root. But since then, I've tried to do a backup (through ROM manager) and the white HTC screen pops up and doesn't go away. So then I tried to do it manually through hboot and when I choose recovery it does the same thing .. what do you think might be the problem? I'm very new to this so I'm hoping it is something simple that I missed... Please help
So ive been seeing a lot of how do i use i777 zImage with xx rom for i9100 and make it work... So heres how
Method one
1. Get zImage from aokp if ur doing aosp rom or entropy or siyah with mic swap if ur doing tw. must be i777
2. Flash rom of choice...
3. Push kernel using heimdall or if u can make cwm
a. you can also unzip rom nd replace zImage in rom then rezip and flash
4. Go to market get es file explorer and set root rights
5. Go to /system/usr/keylayout
6. Modify sec_touchkey.kl and make it look like this:
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 107 SEARCH VIRTUAL
key 28 HOME VIRTUAL
7. Reboot
8. Enjoy and hit thanks

It is pretty self explanatory.if you want a 3.0+ kernel, then merge a 3.0+ kernel into your source. Most aosp kernel track from the linux kernel. I am not going to get into the step by steps about it, that you can google.

No, pending your source, and the other source, there are way to many different changes that could take place. I would use a tool like beyond compare and diff the folders to see what files are different, then based on your experience, start making changes, compile test, rinse and repeat.

Before you start working on it, nandroid backup your system. Its just the kernel, so you can always revert via recovery. Though you should already know that.

That is crap the kernel gets initialized during boot, unless your kernel is flashing a recovery as well, or your using a device without a dedicated recovery?
What do you mean by a dedicated recovery? I am using a samsung phone and we have a recovery mode and a download mode. We have both a permanent cwm and a zip fiw cwm(temporary).
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
the dedicated recovery is a partition on is own, so lets say your mtd/emmc is structured like this
boot
recovery (this should be the dedicated recovery)
system
data
therefore you will be able to delete/flash/reflash the boot without affecting the tablet/system/other partitions
There are some devices that have a different recovery structure (tablets based on the rockchip soc)
Thanks for the help you both! I will learn more about partitions in my phone and come back on this thread.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
I guess most Samsung phones doesn't come as a recovery partition, it comes as an extra ramdisk as mentioned here.
Anyways I've flashed boot.img which I've compiled, and the first boot was a bootloop, of course. And after doing some changes, compiled again and flashed, and it was a success. So I don't think Kernels can hard-brick the device (IMO though).
For samsung...as long as you have download mode your in the clear...with download mode you can use Odin or heimdall to flash a working kernel or even stock software to return to stock.
Samsungs do not have a partition for recovery...its its own ramdisk..."recovery-ramdisk.img" so you can lose both recovery and boot with a kernel but with download mode and heimdall all you have to get is a working kernel with a working recovery, open terminal and type "heimdall flash --kernel kernelnamehere.includinganyfileextention" so "heimdall flash --kernel boot.img"
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
You guys rightly said! We have a ramdisk included with a zImage in a boot.img. I have also seen cases where the recovery mode doesnt come but the download mode is still intact.
A guy from our forum once flashed a s2 kernel on my Y and he hard bricked it. No modes were opening on his phone but according to the theory given by you guys, atleast the download mode should have been working! Care to explain me why that happened? I think the same thing will happen with me when I use sources of other phone for my kernel.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
So what I read from this thread, if you don't have a recovery dedicated for your device you would hard brick it???
Coz I tried n tested some kernels
They didn't work out -but it was a soft brick
Not a hard brick
I had not made those
Now I'm willing to try once I get some hold on building kernels
And I have a Sony Xperia Neo V
It doesn't have stock recovery like Samsung so if I make or atleast try to make kernels on my own, would I risk my phone getting hard bricked???
Or just soft brick?

yes, of course
This has been extremely helpful for mods on the S4 Active with a locked bootloader. It is not the same as having a out-of-rom recovery but it is a nice work around as mods start flowing to this device. I have flash MANY mods for the Active and it has been GREAT. The developer is working on ideas for flashing roms but currently this is not for flashing roms, do not even try. This has not been tested yet for the G2 and I would not try it until your carrier has a restore option available (currently Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T have one and they can be found here. All credit goes to the original developer and here is his original thread
Do this at your own risk, by flashing a zip without a nandroid back up this can cause a software brick and you will have to restore
1. Install busy box from the play store (YOU NEED ROOT)
2. Install the apk from the forum
3. download the zip you want to flash
4. Select flash now and reboot
If you have get the error that says the zip is not a flashable zip here are some things that will help:
1. make sure there are NO spaces in the zip name
2. make sure the zip name is short
3. if you still get the error that says this is not a flashable zip reinstall busybox and advance features
4. Flash Gordon does not play nice with AROMA installer so the zip must not have the included
5. Check the download zip, sometimes it can get corrupt while downloading to your phone. Try to transfer the zip from a PC and flashing it. (this has happened once to me)

I was asking if anyone tried to test it how it is, without a backup option.

I have but not on the G2. I do not have a back up... Now I don't know if there are any G2 flashes available right now. But other mods may work just be careful.
It is an awesome tool
Looks like AT&T restore can be found here (untested though)

I'd say to work with @who MIKE D and see if he can make you a theme zip for your specific phone
I don't have the phone yet or else I would also try.

And @who MIKE D
It's not the zip that's in question. I've made enough of them to kill and elephant. It's the recovery. One has not been made specific for this phone yet, that I'm aware of. I'm under the impression that they are not universal.

That is the point of flash gordon... It is a recovery that works inside the OS so it has been working great and tons of phones... Just flash and reboot once it is complete and enjoy. Now the modified apk may crash once you flash but just do a hard reboot and it would be good

You will need to talk to him. Usually they need your framework and sustemui files

I sent him a PM, keep us posted I have no worries it should work, just as long as the zip is made for your phone.
Very interested in this!! Hopefully we can get something going here!!

MikeD said he will make us a flashable zip if no one else does with one of his theme. He is currently away from his PC but will have time in a few days
Something don't add up
Locked, no recovery so no root
