flash this boot into your mini5
then you can use baseband 3xx in android 2.3.3 without button flashing
but it will bring another problem ：wifi couldn't turn on
I have tried it in DSC 0.6、1.1 ，it works well except wifi
it couldn't work in miui or cm7
New baseband without wifi....What is the benefit?...

manics, would you pull and share config from this kernel?
adb pull /proc/config.gz
this boot was not builded by me
it is from a modified version of streakmi
i found it in BBS.ZHANGKU.COM
i am trying to ask the poster
but i guess maybe it is using kernel of streakmod recovery

N0p. Want me to flash and pull?
I dont use wifi.
I try to do it tomorrow (will be near pc, so can unpack everything without flashing).

WiFi simply needs corresponding driver and I might blindly guess that dhd.ko from 407 should do.
the poster says ,this boot is from the earliest 2.3.3 roms of dj_steve, but he could not remember from which one.
Checked kernel config vs 407 kernel - nothing changed except resume speedup. I wonder what code in kernel could control blinking.

Got my tablet 2 weeks ago.
I went from stock ROM->Vegan 5.1.1 (2 weeks ago)->Vegan Ginger edition 7.0.0 (yesterday)
so far so good.
However, when i tried to update to the latest kernel (see below)
"ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):
boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-042411.zip
Download: boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-042411.zip"
I get "wifi error" upon startup. Wifi is not recognized, nor can i add my wifi manually.
Tried going back and forth between base ROM/kernel from this forum "VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1" and the latest kernel (with the usual clear data/cache/davlik cache post-install). Base kernel has wifi no probs, but any later kernel and i get wifi errors
Tried to cycle airport mode, but nothing happens - just goes into disabling wifi networks and stays grayed out
Also tried to clear cache "before" flashing kernel, as suggested by member TEK112 in the same thread. Any help will be appreciated. thanks!

Usually wifi not working means you flashed the wrong kernel, but it sure looks like you got the right (gb) one. You sure you're on gingerbread?

hmm...wonder what's wrong then ?
I'm positive about Ginger edition though - Followed instructions from this forum - "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031250"
Downloaded and installed "VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed.zip" from http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads/
Home screen confirms Vegan-Tab GingerEdition - do not have the tablet with me at the moment, but can post "About Tablet" info later.
Sounds more like you forgot to take the lib-2632.39_gb.tar.gz from pershoot's webpage or failed to take the correct version of the lib. That lib tarball contains the bcm4329.ko (wifi driver kernel module). You have to untar the lib and adb push the bcm4329.ko driver to /system/lib/modules/, reboot after pushing the module over.
Try that and see if you have any better luck bringing up wifi with a newer pershoot kernel.

Thanks terrypchan...never played around with adb before, and couldn't get it to work last night, but will definitely give it a shot and post my results.
However, in previous version, when I had Vegan 5.1.1, and upgraded the kernel, i didn't have to go through the adb push of bcm4329.ko install. Even with the upgrade kernel for gingerbread7.0 (the noted issue here), there is base bcm4329.ko driver is already sitting under /system/lib/hw/wlan folder, so the adb push of this module under lib/modules will override the base ?

I'm wondering if he's stuck in airplane mode now that I've re-read his first post.
This is from the old version, but suggests that getting a widget that can toggle flight mode may fix it:

FYI - no need to use flight mode on a tablet, just turn off all the radios.

Can you tell me how to do that??
I am having exct same issue on Samsung Wave..
hi all!
Here s the story:
I went to flash VR 2.3 yesterday, which welcomed me with a blank screen at boot. Tried another rom, got same result.
A little scare and backup restore later, i was back on track and understood that those roms are KG3 based and a new kernel was not "recommanded" but NECESSARY
So, my question is this: if I update to KG3 Kernel, can I still run other stuff? If not, is it OK to flash an older kernel just for another older base rom?
Thanks!
EDIT:
[A]: Yes
Yes and no.
The actual kernel code itself has close to 0 changes from FW version to version.
(Though, there HAVE been some changes from 2.3.3 based ones to 2.3.4 ones).
Usually a 2.3.3 kernel works on most (if not all) 2.3.3 based FWs and same goes for 2.3.4.
However, there is more in the zImage than just the bare kernel code, there is the initial ram disk that takes care of booting up the OS.
Some ROMs depend on certain things to be or not to be in there (usually goes for custom kernels).
But there is really no problem just flashing a matching kernel for ROM/FW you're going to install.
Thanks a lot!
I just went ahead anyhow, and flashed KG3, then just let the phone reboot in VR 2.1 (which is KF2, I believe). it booted just fine, so I guess it might be, as you say, on a case by case basis.
I ll talk with VR dev so that he can edit the install instructions, which are a little misleading since he states this step is optional
Thanks for getting back to me!
Hi there,
since LPH Beta I got the problem that my SGS2 won´t boot after I modded the build.prop.
GokhanMoral said, with his Siyah-Kernel this bug is fixed, but it´s not!
What can I do? I don´t want to use the workaround with backed-up build.props
What exactly did you do? I modded my build.prop slightly and everythings fine. I'm running Hydrog3nics + Siyah 3 a5
It´s in the thread-title: I modded the file on ICS i9100XXLPH. Then it stuck on the bootlogo.
I know, that´s a general failure, but GM said (or prooved) that it´s fixable. So now I want to know: how???
1st, can you get into recovery?
Do you have either of these:
-Backed up build.prop before the boot looping. (On your PC or on the phone itself.. maybe a build.prop.bak in /system?)
-Original working build.prop from the ROM.
-Exact line you changed (before/after)
If you have either I can make you a flash able zip to restore it.
Meh.. nvm.. didn't see you didn't want to restore the file..
I changed ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung to ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-vf-de so that I can use the Vodafone-Market in Germany.
Since LPH the error occures.
But if you could build a flashable .zip of build.prop with the new line, that would be greatly appreciated
Ok,
This will ONLY change that line on the existing build.prop file in /system:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-vf-de
for that line:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung
Nothing else.
Try the zip, or if you have adb access..
adb shell
#
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.broken.bak
sed -i 's:ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-vf-de:ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung:g' /system/build.prop
reboot
Let me know
Didn´t work: stuck on boot-logo... (tried the .zip)
Try reflashing the rom without wiping. It did the trick for me and I didn't loose any data.

I don´t need help to flash or anything, I want to edit my build.prop!
I think what pikesmatrix is suggesting is that by reflashing the ROM without wiping would restore any broken system file.. including your build.prop without touching your data, pics, music, etc
I know. I did that a couple of times.
But the question still is: how to make it work? Shall I try a kernel of ICS-builds, where it worked?
Tried CF-Kernel for LPB - Softbrick.
What exactly are you trying to edit? Bearing in mind the build.prop file is a very delicate file. Editing the wrong thing (regardless of what kernel you have) will cause your phone to bootloop.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
he tried to edit the
"ro.com.google.clientidbase"
setting. To pay via vodafone germany billing
But after changing the setting and a rebooting the device stucks on the SGS2 boot logo.
I also have this problem with Omega Version 3.2 and up
so i'm currently running Omega ROM 3.1 (XXLPH Android 4.0.3) and here it works
Version 3.2 and 4.0 are also XXLPH but do not boot after changing build.prop settings :/
Got arround this issue ...,
I have downloaded latest Omega (5) unpacked the 'zip' and changed the settings in the build.prop, then re'ziped' it and flashed it
it boots up fine and also the market is working for vodafone users
After multiple boot loops and rom re flashing i used rom tool box from app store and solved it for me
Usually re-installing and cleaning the dalvik cache solves this kind of issue...
I have a bell Galaxy S2. Today I rooted it and after hours of confusion, I finally managed to install resurrection remix 4.04 ICS on my phone.
So far I've run into tons of issues:
1) No GPS
2) No wifi (stuck on 'obtaining IP address, unlikely that this is my network's fault)
3) No software buttons, so I can't multitask (have to use task killer to kill unused apps right now)
4) Rom Control crashes everytime I go into the Navigation bar page
The phone in it's current state is useable, but I will go back to stock settings if I can't fix these problems. Maybe there is a better ROM out there? Though I heard resurrection remix is the best one. Also, could it be that I installed the wrong kernel? The one I installed is:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
Can somebody help me out? Any tips would be appreciated.
EDIT: I just realized that USB connectivity (file transfer) doesn't work either - not even in clockwork menu!

Sounds like you might have flashed the wrong kernel for your phone.
did you first check what was the original kernel on your phone? acutally, run me through your root process so i can figure where you went wrong, because the Resurrection remix rom is just about perfect
I know it was KG2 kernel originally. Don't remember the other numbers.
I'm now on a different kernel because when I used KG2, the phone wouldn't work at all (the buttons were screwy).
The process went something like this:
1. Rooted KG2 kernel installed
>Phone still works like before, but rooted
2. Put Res remix rom on my phone's storage
3. Go into clockwork recovery
4. Flash/Recovery
Format /system
Wipe Cache
5. Install ROM from SD card - twice (since the video I was watching told me to do it twice)
>Phone turns on but the buttons don't work so I can't navigate menus
6. Install CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
>Buttons sort of work now but lots of problems
>All of my old files/music are still on the phone despite all that format/recovery stuff. Is that normal?
Now when I try to install KG2 kernel phone doesn't even turn on. If it helps, the phone currently tells me the baseband is I9100MUGKG2
k, yep you missed the gapps install. did you make a backup in CMW recovery before you flashed remix?

whats wrong with you brother? installing CF-root on an AOKP rom???? CF-root is matched with the Kernel not with the Baseband.
Yourself dont know what is being flased on what.....did you make sure of your model before flashing there are many S2s I9100 /I9100G / I9100M / 9100T many more...
please read all the instrction first before attempting anything my friend...There is no substitute for reading and learning for comprehension .it is not like that any thing can be applied on anything.
I have a bell s2 and i did this
Google: how to root galaxy s2 kg2. Use the one that comes up. Will show the right cf root.tar to flash through odin

It's the I9100M (bell) and the Kernel before I started was KG2. I already mentioned this.
@kilometers4 that's the exact kernel I tried the first time (from that tutorial) but it didn't work.

Ok, some good news.
I installed the CF-ROOT KG2 kernel.
I went into recovery, formatted/wiped everything that needs to be done. (Then USB connectivity began to work!) so I put a 2.3 Cyanogen Mod on there and now everything seems to work (USB, WIFI) except for the home button. I still can't exit out of applications.

Yes but I can't find any other rooted kernels out there that will work for my phone. I've googled it but all the GS2 rood/mod tutorials I've seen use CF-Root.
If you can let me know what kernel or rom to install that would be great. I'm not going to touch my phone until I figure out what to do.

Why not start with a working phone + a nandroid backup before you start playing with roms .
Stock rom + CWM and root kernel = Nandroid backup .
If CM does not work then read the CM thread faqs and instructions .

first of all get into reserection remix thread and ask whether this ROM supported for I9100M or not, if yes ask somebody can provide CWM flashable CM9 kernel (if it is the original kernel of your rom) then flash from CWM and try..

It does work with 9100M.. I have the same phone and am running v1.4 flawlessly
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I was previously using MIUI latest ROM and NightElf kernel for stock (my mistake). Due to instability and lag I wanted to move to CM9. So today I downloaded mt11i BB72, NightElf kernel for fxp and latest (126) fxp ROM. First I installed the BB using flashtool, then installed the kernel using fastboot and at last installed the ROM via CWM. But after that I am unable to boot into OS. I can boot into recovery, but not into OS. The phone just reboots.
As recovery still loads, I think the device is not yet lost. Will anyone help me out please?
Flash the original .431 ftf using flashtool,then install new kernel and after that flash the CM9 rom.
It was, just that I was searching a shorter route. But it seems that the long way is to go. I am not even sure if Sony has released 4.0.4 with new baseband for my handset in India.
Another thing: did you wiped cache and dalvik cache? If no,wipe them and make a factory reset from cwm.

And about your problem in OP, if by "NightElf kernel for fxp" you mean on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468043 you are using kernel for GB.
yes I have done all the wiping and resetting. I remembered that I had not mentioned those in the post after I had hit the post button.
Madfysh yes I was using that one. So, is that the error that is causing this bootloop? Can you provide link of a proper kernel for me?
This one?
OK solved
I installed the proper kernel and now device boots into OS. Thank you Madfysh for pointing out the error.
CM9 is so smooth!
Update: And now wifi does not work!
They just keep telling me to flash kernel in instructions [- new wifi init (if you dont flash kernel and wipe wifi will not work properly)], but sorry to be a noob: which kernel?
Found kernel: inside ROM zip. LoL. Madfysh you knew that?
Much ado about nothing. I kept weaving a tale of wrong kernels when the proper one was always there hiding inside the zip.
