I have been a fan of DJ Steve's ROMs and his dev skills. But right now I am running a deodexed 351 that is otherwise stock, in portrait mode. haha
I love his ability to compile ROMs and Kernels and such, but I really want just the kernel that supports overclocking.
I can get any of the kernels to work from 1.91
no vol, no ppt
no vol, ppt
vol and ppt
vol and no ppt
I even add the proper dhd.ko file for the modules folder and correct the permissions and even the reset.ko file too.
But no matter what I do, I can't get the kernel to work AND wifi to work. It seems like either or for a stock rom. Either you have a plain kernel with no overclocking, or you can use the kernel with no wifi working.
Does anyone know of:
1: If there are other files I should be bringing over from the rom to make the kernel and wifi work together
or
2: What specifically I can edit to allow the stock kernel to allow overclocking?
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for the help in advance.
OK. I guess no one out there knows either.
What I have been doing so far to achieve overclocking is create a .txt file (according to the instructions on setcpu.com) and put that at the root of my sdcard and have setcpu do the rest.
I would prefer to use the kernel method so I can add the volboost and/or ppt tweaks in 1.91.
I will wait patiently for your guidence.
Maybe try this

Ok I figured out which one will work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113256
Ok go to Simple Streak's thread.
1. Download the .zip for version 1.2
2. copy the files in /system/lib/modules to your /system/lib/modules
3. fix permissions, they should be 644, which are rw-r--r--
4. boot into fastboot, and flash his boot.img
Thank you Spidla for a kernel I can use that supports overclocking, that I dont have to use the entire ROM and most importantly, my wifi works.

Hello,
Can someone tell if it's wise to upgrade my Tytung R13 Kernel to R14 or Dorimanx kernel?
I like to have a better battery life.
How do I have to upgrade to a "better" Kernel without losing all my apps and settings?
Hope someone can provide me some answers.
Greetings Matthieu.
Put the Dorimax kernel zip file in the root of your SD.
switch your phone off
switch it on again holding down the power button until the menu comes up
select install zip from SD
navigate to the Dorimax zip and install that.
then reboot your phone!
(if you're using NAND Android!)
I use r14 with Tytung's Gingerbread ROM. Tried several earlier versions of Dorimax's kernel and had terrible luck with them. Lost app linkages mainly and Titanium Backup even though I was using the correct zip file created by a forum user on Tytung's thread. Going to the hidden phone menu I switched my phone to use GSM only and this reduced the battery drain from WCDMA preferred which is the default.
What ROM do you use? The original Tytung kernel thread and included file is for Tytung's ROM. For compatibility, somebody has suggested to replace the initrd.gz file with the one in your ROM before flashing.
You can try Tytung 14. It is good and stable. If you like to do some adventure and something exciting but a little dangerous, try Dorimanx. Dorimanx is a crazy developer. The speed of kernel and ROM updates is high. I will recommend to try Dorimanx kernel v3.3 and 4.1. Both of them work on my Typhoon ROM.
Hello,
Thanks for the answers. I use the NexusHD2 Gingerbread V3.2a rom with Tytungs R13 kernel.
I read something about the initrd.gz file. Do I have to do something with that file before upgrading to Tytungs R14 or is there a complete zipfile and can I install it just as mentioned in the second post without losing anything? Is the batterylife better with R14 or Dorimanx 4.1 instead of R13?
I am just a beginner and want to extend the usage of my HD2.
Thanks.
Greetings Matthieu.
Go to the kernel thread by Tytung http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258110. The kernel is just all you need.
The ROM you use is his work, too. Nothing have to be changed before flashing. Just do it. Have fun.
I am not sure if battery life if better in R14. You can try it. Flashing the kernel you will not lose anything. If you want to do some cleansing work, just wipe cache, Dalvik cache (in advanced setting), and fix permission. Do not wipe system/factory reset.
Thanks!! I hit the thanksbutton for you...
Is it also possible to just put a dorimanx 4.1 zipfile on my sd card and install it without doing extra actions (like installing extra files)? I am a noob with this so....
Greetings Matthieu.
Yes, in Dorimanx v4.1 the initrd.gz files from CM/MIUI/ICS are incl. in the kernel. While flashing you can choose your system. Though the file you are looking for, initrd.gz, is located in your ROM's .ZIP. just open it en you will find the file under /boot, extract initrd.gz en extract the Dorimanx .ZIP and place initrd.gz in the initrd-custom directrory. Last but not least you need to select all the exctracted files from the Dorimanx .zip (incl the initrd-custom folder with your custom initrd.gz) and make a new .ZIP!
Correct me if i'm wrong!? =P
can I flash Dorimanx kernal to sense roms?
Hi and welcome Telus Fascinate T959D Users.
The purpose of this thread was to join a few T959D users together. When I flash a ROM I usually have at least 6 posts open on XDA - on different methods, kernels, etc. So I started collecting information and organizing it here. I have been updating based on feedback and adding more and different content especially when more users found us here.
Special thanks to everyone who has helped with this thread over the past few years - and special call outs to @Matt5606, @iwebsource, @finneginsfast, @moosehead11, @Dayfid, @karmatose, @bucknetbucky.
However, please note that we the contributors take no responsibilities for your phone or anything you do to it - this is simply a collection of helpful posts to get you started and continue having conversations - they are by no means offered as full proof guides, nor do they imply a warranty of any sort.
Now on the fun stuff, but first a simple FAQ.
Q. What is the T959D and what ROMs can I use on it?
The T959D is Telus' Galaxy S phone - known as a fascinate. What is confusing is this phone has almost nothing in common with the Verizon Fascinate - in fact flashing a fascinate ROM will brick your phone. Fortunately for us, our phone is VERY close to the International Version - the i9000 or galaxysmtd. Those are the ROMs we use on this phone.
Q. Is there a place where I can get files for my phone?
Yes - all through XDA you can use i9000 compatible ROMs, Kernels, modems. As well, we have a stock pile of files available to you - as you read the OPs you will find those and how to get them.
Q. Can I brick my phone?
Yes - but from my personal experience it is very hard to do this, and you can always get a USB jig that gets you to download mode (if you are soft bricked) - load one of the stock images and you are right as rain again.
A USB jig is a small piece of modded hardware that plugs into your USB port on your phone and forces it into download mode on start up - EVEN if it is SOFT BRICKED. A necessity for flashing. Lots of 'how tos' on how to create them out there if you have a spare cord, or just order one on EBay
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=usb+jig
For me, the place to use the most caution is using Odin - when placing files into the fields ensure they in the right place (measure twice, flash once ) as that is the biggest risk to flashing your phone. I think this is the greatest risk to hard bricking your phone which I am not sure you can recover from (I have only ever soft bricked my phone in which the USB jig saved my hide).
Q. I put on an ICS/JB ROM and now my IMEI is gone? What is that and how do I get it back?
Your IMEI is the unique identifier on your phone. The number is written down behind your battery - and that is what your phone should be displaying when you go to About Phone in Settings. Something happened with ICS/JB that it sometimes gets lost. To prevent that you need to back up your EFS folder.
1. You must be rooted.
2. You must have a file explorer that has root access (root explorer or ES File Explorer - although, if using ES ensure you have enabled root access and mounted /system in the preferences.
3. Find your /EFS/ folder at root (/).
4. Copy the EFS folder. Ensure you have ALL the files and ALL the subfolders (one will your IMEI). However, there can be hidden files in here, I would not worry so much about those, simply ensure you copy over the EFS folder itself - that should do it.
5. Move this to your removable SD card. Zip it, keep it on your PC, put in dropbox, ensure you have a copy for safe keeping.
And that is it - after flashing a new ROM, if you are missing your EFS or your IMEI number if wrong, just copy back the folder, reboot, and voila!
Q. GPS sucks.
Yes, yes it does. Do a search if you are adventurous there are hardware fixes. There's also faster fix in the play store and there are files here you can load as well - but its a known issue with the Galaxy S family of phones.
Q. What should I run on my phone?
Well, that is entirely up to you. The last official firmware you can get is 2.3.3. If you like very stable and do not need to have the latest, just a stable working phone with great battery - maybe try a good gingerbread ROM like Darky's or CM7.0 - Darky's will give you that Samsung feel (and still have the right firmware for the camera).
There are literally tons of options - go to the i9000 thread and see what the latest is. Most users here in this thread are on SlimICS, SlimBeam, CM10 or CM10.1. I have been running latest (nightlies) CM10.1 for some time combined with my favourite kernel Semaphore.
If you are going to flash a new JB ROM though, I suggest as your first flash stable CM 10.0 - this will be the base of your next ROM and many ROMs such as slim recommend you flash CM first just to set things up for yourself.
Q. So what now?
Read, read, and read. Go through this thread - go through threads of the ROMs you want to install - see what users are saying about it lately. And please - come to this thread and ask questions - we have a small but friendly and very helpful community - and remember if we help you, stay active on the thread so you can help someone else.
Cheers - and happy flashing
ICS/JB ROMS from Scratch (updated May 31 2013)
THANKS to @karmatose and @Dayfid for creating an ODIN flashable 2.3.3 - this means no more KIES (yes!) and creating a fresh stock ROM - here's the steps for this procedure... (Updated September 26, 2012)
Please note that the links below provided by Karma http://t959d.karmatose.org will work BUT you will need a username and password to download the files. Karma or myself can make the login and password available to you.
1. Download the KG2 package from here - http://t959d.karmatose.org/index.php/apps/files/download/Shared/stock_roms/T959TLKG2_Gingerbread.zip
2. Extract the archive to a folder on your PC using your archive app of choice. Mine is WinRAR.
3. Open Odin3 v1.7.exe (the one that is in the ZIP file)
4. Place the PDA, CSC and PHONE and PIT files in the proper boxes. Take absolute care to make sure you don't mix them up. Ensure that repartition is ticked 'on' in this case.
5. Put phone in download mode (vol down + power from off or download jig) and connect it to the PC
6. Click start and wait just under 3 minutes. The phone will restart and you should be back to stock 2.3.3
7. If your intention was to get to stock, you're done. If you want to go to ICS/JB and you *don't* have a backup of your EFS folder, go to step 8. If you do have a backup of your EFS folder, go to step 10.
8A. If you need to backup your EFS folder (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), you need to root the phone. Flash the Speedmod kernel with ODIN (in the PDA field). The phone will reboot and get stuck in a boot loop at this point. Pull and replace the battery and place the phone in Recovery Mode by holding VOL+ and VOL- and pressing the power button. When the screen lights up, release the power button and continue to hold the volume rocker until you see CWM Recovery. Using the Vol+ and Vol- to navigate the menu, go to the Speedmod Advanced Options menu and press the power button to select it. Choose to root your phone.
8B. (Optional) Now that you have custom recovery, would not be a bad idea to make a nandroid backup of your phone. So go to backups, and create backup from the CWM Menu.
8C. Once that is complete, go back to the root menu and reboot the phone. Pull the battery out and put the phone back into download mode. Flash the stock 2.3.3 kernel back (also in the PDA field) in Odin. The phone should now be rooted. Let it boot. Hopefully you're greeted with a lock screen
9. Install ES Explorer from play (or APK), enable Root Settings in the settings menu then navigate up to root and copy your EFS folder to your EXTERNAL_SD card. Power down the phone, remove the SD card and copy this to your PC, Google Drive and some other backup source. Don't lose this folder.
10. Installing ICS / JB - Depending on what OS you want to go to, you're going to need to grab an appropriate kernel to do so. The best option seems to be Semaphore's i9000 kernels. If you're going to flash an ICS rom, grab the 1.3.0s .tar file. If you're going to JB, grab the 2.1.0s .tar file.
11. Download your ROM of choice. i9000 versions of SlimICS/SlimBean/CM9/CM10 work on the T959D. You will also need grab the .zip version of the Semaphore kernel (ICS / JB) you're using and a Modem of your choosing. KG3 works best for me, your mileage may vary. Place the ROM, .zip version of the Semaphore kernel you're using and the ES File Explorer APK on your internal SD card.
12. Open Odin again. Put the .tar'd Semaphore kernel file you just downloaded in the PDA field, ensure Re-Partition is UNCHECKED. Put your phone in download mode, connect it to the PC and click start. In a bit more than 10 seconds, your phone should reboot itself. Pull the battery out and replace it.
13. Put the phone in Recovery Mode by holding VOL+ and VOL- and pressing the power button. Release the power button as soon as the screen turns on but keep holding VOL+ and VOL- until CWM appears. Use the VOL+/- keys to navigate, PWR button to select. Go to "Install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard".
14. Follow the directions to install your ROM. CM9/10 comes in one flashable .zip file whereas SlimICS/SlimBean comes in multiple files. Consult the documentation for your ROM to get specifics on how to install it. Note that if you are installing CM10, CM10.1, Slim 3.x + that the partition layout has changed. This means you will need to flash the ROM at least 3 times - once you will get an error 7, then flash again, and then again - after that you will have latest.
15. Once the ROM is done flashing, flash the Kernel .zip you placed on your External SD card the same way you flashed the ROMs. Then flash your modem .zip. Note that if you are using an 's' version of semaphore, and a non-patched ROM like CM (Slim is already patched) you will want to flash the big mem library patch which is attached below after flashing the kernel.
16. Go back to the CWM main menu and reboot the phone. You should boot into ICS / JB at this point with no issue. It might take a bit so be patient.
17. Verify your IMEI number. Hit the Menu button on your phone and select System Settings > About Phone > Status. Look at your IMEI. If there's a lot of 0's in it, you need to replace your EFS folder. Use Oi Explorer to access your External SD card and install the ES File Explorer APK. Enable *all* the Root options in the application settings and return to the file browser. Locate your EFS folder backup on your external SD (emmc), longpress on the folder and select "Copy To". Hit the navigate up button in the dialog box and select /. Press OK twice then reboot your phone. Your IMEI should be back to normal now.
18. Enjoy the fruits of your labour and customize the heck out of your new ICS / JB rom.

This is an alternate method from @bucknetbucky created this quick 'how to'. This will put you on stock GB and allow you to flash ICS from there.
Why start from GB? The bootloaders. When flashing from froyo you'll see lots of tips on pulling batteries and the first flash always not working - this won't happen from Gingerbread AND you'll get to keep the logo for the kernel for some added bling.
For those looking to flash from GB here is how to do it...
Get back to 2.3.3 stock
1 flash stock froyo via ODIN (tick repartition! - See the 'Essential Files' section above).
2 install samsung kies (should have this if you have this device- AND update it!)
3 update to GB using kies
Root your phone and back up EFS
Backing up EFS is vital. Essentially do this.
4. Download Super1click to root your phone and following the instructions (http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t)
5 Install a file manager with root access and backup your efs folder by copying it to the internal sdcard then your computer (instructions in OP)
Note: this is one way to root your stock GB phone - you can also use the speedmod kernel (the version I use is older --- but works --- and is attached below) which has a root option under 'advanced' but has more steps. If you already have backed up your EFS though, you really do NOT need to do this step and skip to the steps below to flash your ICS ROM.
Finally INSTALL your ICS ROM
Now to flash the latest super duper ROMs from the super duper devs you will need to do the following...
1 copy glitch v14 kernel and the rom of your choice to your internal sdcard (The version linked below is the BEST version to accomplish this with)
http://www.box.com/s/tov06pvzkkqbmui6tcmi
2 flash via ODIN the speedmod kernel (gives you a custom recovery)
3 when it tries to boot pull the battery and then boot to recovery
4 flash the glitch kernel from recovery (again you are boot looping)
5 pull the battery and boot to glitch recovery and wipe data, clear cache and such then flash your ROM
6 copy your backed up EFS folder back to the phone to restore yout imei
Just some notes
Most ROMs will come with a compatible modem, however, if having modem issues - please see a few posts down on getting modems.
A complete list of ROMs for the I9000 by Android version can be found here (as well as kernels). Please note the update dates as that will indicate how much active support there is for the ROM.

Gingerbread ROMs (Updated 03/11/2012)
In terms of loading GB ROMs I have had success with a few - namely Darky ROM (up to 10.4.2).
Credit to the original poster, but I always start with this how to on loading a ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
I do not execute every step, but essentially use it to get to stock along with the custom voodoo kernel which will give you root and custom recovery to load your custom ROM.
ROM and Kernel TWEAKS (Updated 08/28/2012)
GPS Tweak
This how to can you help you tweak GPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413
Note the multiple GPS.conf entries you can have for country (Canada) as well as region (North America).
Darky ROM tweak
When installing Darky ROM you will find the buttons for home and back no longer work. There is a simple fix for this as long as you have a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and a text editor.
Open up /system/usr/keylayout/melfas_touchkey.kl in a text editor.
Make sure that your 'keys' look like this:
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 105 HOME
key 106 SEARCH
Keep VIRTUAL as part of the keys and you will still have vibration as well.
Alternatively (Thanks @finneginsfast !) you can flash 'keylayout.zip' attached below from recovery.
Flashables (Updated June 29 2013))
This is reserved for flashables such as modems and kernels.
Ultimate Kernel Cleaner
Before flashing a kernel, you should run a kernel cleaning script. Matt (THANKS @Matt5606) gave me this one - it handles cache cleaning, etc. See the attached file for ultimate kernel cleaning script.
Modems
Lots of modems out there, and get Perka's file store for a ready list (see recommended apps). My favourite for a long while has been the i9000UGKC1 modem - it has GB versions as well as ICS - just make sure you get the right one!
You can also download modems diredctly from Perkas Site (/Samsung/ICS_CM_Modems/850_Modems_CM) or the android app (available in Play). Ensure you get the right modems for your ROM or Android version.
For Gingerbread: /Samsung/I9000/Modem_850_Enabled
For ICS and JellyBean: /Samsung/ICS_CM_Modems/850_Modems_CM
@finneginsfast provided me with this graphical link to help give you an idea of what modems work where: http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-location-map.html
Gingerbread Kernels

Essential Files
Before we get started wanted to make available some essential files. These are from my public dropbox folder, so I may switch it in time, but felt they should be here.
Need to get back to stock, then here is the Stock Telus Froyo 2.2. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2069701/T959TLJL3.zip
Want stock with a CWM kernel on 2.2, then here is the VooDoo Kernel http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2069701/voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar
Remember when flashing back to stock to tick the re-partition box, and place the files as follows:
- s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"
- T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"
- T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"
- SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"
Additionally, Karma has some core files he is posting as well (Thanks @karmatose !!!) and you can find those files at:

To access the files, you will need a login. @karmatose or myself can make the login and password available to you.
Starting Fresh
Buck provided this a while back. This is recommended after many flashes and you want to start out fresh without lingering script files and other crap we're all guilty of installing/flashing
WARNING: This clears up EVERYTHING - even TB backuped programs - so if you want your TB backups, change your backup location to the REMOVABLE SD Card.
If you want to start fresh and i mean bare bones this is how i do it.
1. Remove the external sd card (the one you put in the phone)
2. Go into storage under settings and unmount then format the sd card (the partition the phone makes that you see if you do not have root)
3. Flash stock rom via odin and repartition ofcourse.
4. When you are done the phone will be like you just took it out of the box.
5. Backup the card you took out and format that. Leave it out.
6. Grab some beers and start flashing whatever you want (except the neighbors they dont like that)

Do I have to root my phone after installing GB . Or I can wait
And witch app is the better to backup the EFS folder
You need to root to back up your EFS... so for that. Then use root explorer or ES to copy that folder over to your SD and computer.
If you ES make sure turn on root explorer and mount /system.

If you remembered to copy your efs folder before the flash, just copy the original folder back into your phone replacing the old files and reboot. You should have your number back.

Hi
Can anyone help with upgrading my P1000 to ICS?
I have read it can be done via flash and sd card but I am far from confident doing that.
I am happy using Odin and have upgraded to gingerbread ok.
Can anyone tell me is it now possible to install ICS easily just using Odin?
Any help would be fantastic
Go the Dev section.
Look through the ICS threads.
They are mostly available as zip files to flash using Clockworkmod recovery (CWM).
CWM is available as part of most non-stock ROMs - i.e., Overcome, Hyperdroid, etc.
Some features don't work, like camera and lockscreen. The Devs are doing great work, but it's not complete yet.
Good luck.
Hello I am using right now the last ICS ROM posted in vthe forum. Is fantastic and the people here is mking a great work. All you can imagine is working pretty well. I had tried anothers, like for example for my galaxy note but none is working as good as the one I am referring to. You can have a real experience of ICS in the Galaxy Tab through this ROM, smooth, fast and expect more as it is a workjg in process ROM. I advise you to try it. BTW I have set the dpi to 120 for me is the best one.
Regards. Sorry for the mistyping.

I first read the Overcome Guide as it was very helpful in learning how to do this. Then I obtained a copy of the gb5 rom as it has the ClockworkMod for the tab included.
I installed the GB5 rom using Odin 3.17 using the files included in the GB5 file. Rebooted and then downloaded the Humberos ICS files. (There are three files from Humberos.) Copy the Humberos files into the internal SD. Reboot into receovery and found the menu changed where you can flash any rom you want.
I flashed the rom + kernel and then the Google apps file.
The results are:
Model number: GT-P1000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 SGT7-ICS-TE4M #20120307
CyanogenMod: 9.0.0-RC0-GalaxyTab-HumberOS
Build Date: Qua Mar 7 01:17:36 BRT 2012
Build Nunber CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307
Everything on my tab is working great. I find new features such as panoramic photos great, the network and bluetooth work flawlessly, both cameras are working (front one is glitchy but back one ok).
I am very happy to have upgraded but took about one month to make sure I read about the process first and obtained the necessary files.
@Repoman: Both cameras work for you? With stock camera app?

Hi
Can anyone help with upgrading my P1000 to ICS?
I have read it can be done via flash and sd card but I am far from confident doing that.
I am happy using Odin and have upgraded to gingerbread ok.
Can anyone tell me is it now possible to install ICS easily just using Odin?
Any help would be fantastic

p/s: forgive me for my bad english. This guide I made it myself based on my research at google, xda-developer, Humber OS, all the files need to be download you can find it at the website given. Just dont forget to add www at front of the link. I repeat again I will not be responsible for any damage happen to your tab. Make sure you follow the steps carefully as it may brick your tab. Make sure you already have backup every important documents before using this tutorial guide. IMPORTANT!! make sure the backup files is NOT in your SD Card/Phone.
Thank you for the replies.
I am not confident flashing from sd card.
Will it be possible just using Odin?
I am happy using that and successfully upgrafed to gingerbread and root with it.
If not guess will stick with what I have as just too iffy for me to do other.
You will be missing out a lot.
For many years we have been flashing roms and radios and kernels using recovery.
I first use AmonRa recovery in my HTC Magic to backup and flash roms from sdcard, never once connecting the phone to my pc during those 3yrs.
Same with my Gtab. Only when I restock to Overcome ROM I use Odin.
Try to step out of your comfort zone.
Theoretically you can't brick your tab by flashing rom, unless you flash a bad bootloader.

This actually is easier than using Odin. Besides, the ICS images seem to come in this form at the moment. You can even flash a kernel this way. The only drawback is that this is only possible with a an enhanced recovery mode that will install any Zip from any location, so you need Odin the first time to flash a kernel with it included. After that you put the files on the phone or on the SD card, boot to Recovery mode, and install the Zip.
