Editing bootloader / kernel image

Hi there.
I have a rooted Acer iconia a500 running android 4.0.4
This information is off the about tablet screen under settings.
Kernel version:
3.1.10-digetx-thor-4.6
[email protected]) )
#411 SMP PREEEMPT Mon Jun 11 23:56:23 EEST 2012
CyanogerMod Version:
Tegraowners ICS ROM v170 (thor & digetx)
Build number:
full_a500-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.thor2002ro.20120612.10401.8 test keys
This information is off the recovery screen.
CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digetx rev1.7.3) Iconia A50x
Kernel:
3.1.10-digetx-thor-4.4micro
Bootloader: 0.03.14-MUL
What I am wanting to do now is change the kernel image that shows up as soon as you turn the tablet on. (NOT the boot animation - I have disabled this)
Have got the acer usb driver installed on PC (windows 7) and can see the tablet fine.
Any help would be mint.
Thanks :good:

You can't do anything but contacting the kernel developers and ask them for changing the kernel image for you. However, I doubt they'll do that. You are using their kernel for free, which is presumably the best available for the A500; to my opinion, it is a matter of politeness to accept that they want to document the use of their kernel by means of a kernel image, which is visible only during boot up.
WIth best regards, maris

You want to change the kernel name on boot?
Sorry, but I have to think about this.
Are you referring to the Skirlx_CZ bootloader?

The 1st screen you see is all green and only lasts for about 2 seconds with text at top that says Skrillax_CZ's Bootloader V8. Booting primary kernel image. I will keep that, Its the 2nd image that shows up for about 20 seconds before the lock screen shows up.
Here is a photo of the screen I want to change. Would like a Acer logo or Android logo there.

Get the ramdisk seperated of the zImage . And look into the ramdisk , probably you find the image there. But how to do that , read and learn as I don't want to write the whole thing up.

@bluezone09..... Not 100% that this is what you are wanting but if you look at Post #5 by "jdgM3NT4L" at the attached link, it might help you out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753097

Thanks both of you. will read it up and give it a go.
Will let you know how I get on. :good:

Go doing that tut on that link and got to the part dump your BCT in blackthund3r and I get a popup Microsoft.net Framework Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Contine. the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediatly. Cound not find 'bct.dec'.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks

Dont worry I sorted it. I didnt have debugging enabled on tablet.

Ok finished the tut on that link all went fine. This is my new screen.
But still getting this screen popping up after the one I just edited.
Any ideas?
Thank again for the help.
Also here is a screenshot of my setup at moment.

@bluezone09..... Glad you were able to achieve what you have done. At the risk of putting some people's noses out of joint and without pointing fingers at anyone ... If you have followed the TUT faithfully (and from what you have published it seems you have) then I would suggest your one remaining problem is a result of using the Tegraowners ICS rom. I installed Skrylax's v.8 unlocked ICS bootloader then flashed Civato's "Flexreaper RF1" rom and have had no problems installing several different "boot screens". Several people on the forum who I have spoken to using various ICS custom roms (excluding thor's ICS rom) have also had no problems after following the TUTORIAL. Seems to me you may have to live with it or flash a new rom.

Thanks metpolds.
Is this the right one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181
Download this? http://www.theandroidcollective.org/civato/FLEXREAPER-RELIX_rev5.zip
Still wanting to have the overclocking options in settings like I have at moment.

This is what you want. It's a superb bootanimation thread started by metpolds.
Returning the [email protected] at the same time too, priceless.
Be sure to browse through the thread. There are a ton of really sweet ones. And...
Don't forget to hit the thanks button when you get there. Those guys have invested some serious time making that thread as great as it is.

Thats for boot animations. I have disabled mine under settings/system/performance Disable boot animation for fast boot.
If I enable it I get the cyanogemon9 blue man animation. Like this. Loads slower to.

@bluezone09..... Your last two posts raise a number of questions and I apologise in advance if my answers seem overly lengthy and convoluted but I tried to make them understandable so as not to raise further questions in your mind.
(1) The first rom reference you quote (Civato's "Flexreaper RF1") is the one I am currently using and I find it does everything I want, by default it overclocks to 1.2 Ghz. Now if you wish to overclock further then my advice is somewhat suspect because I am not in any way an expert on overclocking... but I believe you have a choice of either installing the app "SetCPU" or if you use thor's recovery then there is an option in the recovery for overclocking. If you read what Civato has written in the rom thread I believe he makes comments and suggestions regarding overclocking his roms.
(2) The second rom reference refers to Civato's "Relix" rom which basically seems a variation of his RF1 rom and is stripped of many "bloated" features. Your web reference refers to "theandroidcollective.org" site which is probably great however I prefer to use Civato's own XDA thread in the Development Section. Again in the thread there are suggestions re overclocking etc.
(3) Just a reminder... if you are still using a HC bootloader then replace it with an ICS bootloader before flashing a new rom.
(4) A lot is written about bootanimations delaying or holding up the boot time. I personally don't believe this to be true or at least if it happens at all it is only a delay of 1 or 2 seconds at most. This I have proved to my own satisfaction by running a big animation with several parts and finding that the "start/boot screen" will display even though the animation is still running, it stops the animation without waiting for it to end and the tab boots. You mention using "settings/system/performance" to kill your animation... of course you can do this but I prefer to delete the file "bootanimation.zip" from either ... /data/local...OR... /system/media. Of course instead of deleting it you can rename it "oldbootanimation.zip" or something similar and put in your own animation.
(5) Not to teach you how to suck eggs but remember to rename any animation to bootanimation.zip (exact wording) and place it in either... /data/local... OR... /system/media
(6) "jdgM3NT4L" kindly refers you to my thread in the "Themes and Apps" section. If you look there for possible anims you might like, may I suggest you start at the last page and work backward in that way you will see the most recent offerings that have been posted. "jdgM3NT4L" is too modest to blow his own trumpet but if you look at Page 45 Post #441 you will see an anim he posted with a "Star Wars" theme which is really cool.
Please note that I have never flashed thor's roms so I can't guarantee that all I have said above will apply to his work.

If you dont like to test dont leave kalo for now...although 928 is very good i dont recomended to ppl who don't want to test things..if you want although i found this version much better than the previous and no i dont have problem with titanium i used 5.4.0 and restore is working properly..and yeah root is out of the question we don't post custom roms without root only officials!!

Don't use for U8800-51

You have an U8800-51, forget ANY Rom with number B927 or B928. For ICS, only use the Aurora 4.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532662):cool:

[I9305][ALPHA]Clockworkmod Recovery Guide - I9305 ONLY!

EDIT: After more testing I am not happy with this version. I will put up a new version soon
Clockworkmod Recovery Image - I9305 Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G howto
What is it?
Clockwork mod recovery allows you to load custom OS images (like cyanogenmod and others) to your device
Things to note
This version is super-duper alpha, meaning that it is mostly untested and may not work!
I am not responsible for any damaged caused by using this recovery image.
It will increase your flash counter in odin
What do I need to do?
1. Download Odin (you might be able to use heimdall, however I have not tested this!)
*removed*
2. Download the image (1 part, tar file)
hotfile link;
https://hotfile.com/dl/174141057/71a063e/i9300_XXALI5_CWM.tar.html
3. Unzip Odin to an easy to access place (such as your desktop)
4. Copy the image file to the same directory.
5. Boot your SGS in to download mode
(power off... then press and hold the power + volume down + home buttons at the same time)
6. Connect your phone to your PC using the cable that came with it.
If you are using a laptop make sure you connect it to a port on the machine not the docking station (if you have one). If your machine has USB3 try to avoid using the USB3 ports.
7. Open the Odin application
Make sure your phone is detected, there will be a yellow square in the top left corner (see below screen dump)
8. Make sure it looks similar to the below screen (same options ticked, the .tar file in the 'PDA' section)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9. Press start and wait. Your phone will be flashed and reboot when it is finished.
10. When the phone re boots, power it off again.
11. Put the phone in recovery mode
hold down power, volume up and home when the device is turned off and unplugged

Well done Mick. Root and now cwm.

This is the only downfall of the 9305, lack of a large user base for development. Tip my cap to you guys.

So CWM runs and the file system table / mount points are all correct (just as a note they are COMPLETELY different to the non LTE SGS3) however it is unable to mount as a flash drive or apply update zips.
The way I got this far was taking the CWM recovery image for the I9300 and hacking it to boot on the I9305.
I will probably have to build cwm from source for it to work properly. stay tuned

Awesome!
This is awesome! The S3 GT-i9305 is going to be my first real Android phone (I currently have a $80 Samsung Galaxy Y now, but it sucks and doesn't count). I can't wait for it to be available, I'm probably going to travel to Singapore just to buy it (I currently live in Thailand, so it's quite close).
Let's hope the admins can create a separate S3 GT-i9305 forum soon, that would boost interest and development I think. I don't think development with the i9305 will be any less than with the US S3 editions, concidering that i9305 is the new international model that is going to be sold in most of Europe, Asia and Oceania.

You boot to recovery because you change the kernel but not the ramdisk.
You cant do anything cause the partition on I9305 is different from I9300.
You have to unpack ramdisk and add recovery.fstab from the I9305.
As i told yesterday to mick.wheelz i will try to do that job but i dont have the time.
Also i already send a test recovery.img to mick.wheelz to test it.

good work boys... I am missing all the fun by the time i get this thing in just over 1 week, all the fun bit will be over... haha oh well .. keep it up!!

Give it some time its not even out in most countries

OK, made a new cwm image, its a hybrid of the build cwm ramdisk from the cwm builder, and the stock i9305 kernel... this was the only way I was able get the file systems to mount proplerly.
USB support is non-existent (because of the kernel) and I am still having trouble getting zip's to load.
I was able to make a system backup and I will soon test restoring it.

well it now can load zips, but i manged to hose my file system (oops...)
re flashing and trying something else.

I still can't get my own update zip's to load... so if someone would like to help me create a zip that would be nice.
I will upload my cwm recovery image too, it does *work* but its not 100%

I remember getting cwm touch working on the i9305 from one of the i9300 roots, although it may also have been the one that caused my IMEI data to die.

Guys please can anyone with i9305 rooted and already backup EFS image test that recovery.img?
Is made from original Cfroot from i9300 the kernel is from i9305 i only make changes to ramdisk image so 99% is ok but i whant to test the recovery function's if is all working.
Thank's

I'd be happy to test but since my EFS is already dead I assume I wouldn't be of any help to anyone.

Aospa rom 6.0.1

it's finally released for our z3c!!!
http://get.aospa.co/official/aries
I believe need to unlock bootloader first before flashing so take note.

AWESOME!!! Thanks for the information!

Same process then? flash boot.img and zip from TWRP?
Edit: Everytime I do that, my phone doesn't boot. Be it with CM or other ROMs, and I have to flash a stock tft. I'm currently on Concept, since I've never managed to get CM working.
Edit2: tried to install but had to modify the install-script. My device was being recognized as "z3c".
Edit3: error flashing, same thing as CM. Flashing stock MM to see if it has something to do with using Concept before.
Edit4: can't enter recovery after flashing stock MM. Going back to Concept and not sure what to do next
Edit5: that's the error I get in TWRP

Edit2: tried to install but had to modify the install-script. My device was being recognized as "z3c".
Edit3: error flashing, same thing as CM. Flashing stock MM to see if it has something to do with using Concept before.
Edit4: can't enter recovery after flashing stock MM. Going back to Concept and not sure what to do next
Edit5: that's the error I get in TWRP

I actually have no idea what to do. I'm on a locked bootloader and I have never unlocked and flashed a custom rom on my z3c.
Was just, sharing some info and hoping people would test

I believe need to unlock bootloader first before flashing so take note.

Thanks for info.

For anyone who already running this rom, how is it? Does the baseband and camera work (no fisheye effect)?

Neither one nor the other. All other things seems working fine.

I get the same error 7 when trying to install PA. Ive tried modefying the install-script as you did but then i get error 6.
I flashed stock D5803_23.5.A.0.575_R11D_Nordic Generic_1288-5411.ftf and then flashed recovery to TWRP via fastboot but i still get the same error 7 when trying PA after that.
My next attempt is to install that NUT dual recovery and try flash PA after that.

Camera and modem not working

Got it installed (finally...). You need a working TWRP recovery.
What's working:
- WiFi
- Paranoid OTA seems to work; no further build available to try (doubt that it will work without recovery though; see below)
Not working:
- RIL (so no phone or SMS)
- camera
BT and GPS not tested yet.
To be able to flash you need to
- modify updater-script located in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script (which is actually a text file) of the ROM zip
- open it in a text editor
- replace "aries" with "z3c", save it somewhere (delete .txt if it's saved with this extension; filename must be "updater-script")
- open the zip with 7zip (recommended; dunno if it works with other archivers)
- replace the updater-script with your version in the zip
- place the zip onto your device
- enter recovery
- Factory Reset (no need for a full wipe)
- flash it
- flash MM Gapps directly afterwards (OpenGapps not recommended - use Slim Zero Gapps instead)
- if you want root, flash SuperSU BEFORE rebooting (see below)
Recovery will be lost and can't be installed with TWRP Manager or Rashr after flashing (Didn't work for me - please report if you got it working and if so - how. Maybe with fastboot, didn't try that yet)
Happy flashing...
I'm sure issues will be fixed quite fast in later builds as everything works already in latest Carbon ROM (find it on testing.myself5.de). Maybe @Myself5 can help with that...(?).

I flashed and it's same with you.It's not okay for daily driver.Also it overheats a lot.

Nice, they said they already fixed the mobile radio bug internally and will be releasing a new build soon

radio is fixed and currently fixing camera

From PA's official Google+ post:
We are also announcing that with the help of Sony and their Open Devices Project we will be able to support all 22 Xperia devices on the SonyXperiaDev GitHub Instance. This initial Sony release is for the Shinano family, but the Rhine, Yukon and Kitakami platforms are expected to follow shortly. This is really exciting news for us and it allows us to give you the Android experience we all love on a much wider range of devices.

If this is the case, maybe the camera will actually be usable? What do you think guys?
P.S. We should contact a moderator to move this thread to General forums, this is not development.

where is the zip file ?

It's removed for the meantime
That's because it had so many bugs
Wait for some more days for a better build

Anyone have mirror for last version?

Amazing work! EVERY ONE OF US NEEDS TO LEARN command line, but it's always excellent to see amazing devs make an all in one like this for the guys that refuse to learn the hard (right) way, and for vets that aren't quite smart enough to make a tool like this themselves, like me, but appreciate the **** out of this little gem making my first custom Oreo ROM from stock rooted a breeze! Perhaps a little bold, but im still calling it, OG PIXEL XL NOT DEAD just when I was losing faith! Bravo!
PS:. Donation incoming once my current "being a broke ass" sit-e-ation ends here in a few weeks.

Just peeped them briefly,. Mad props!

Damn dude, this is amazing. Will definitely give it a shot in the next few days!
Question about the install/uninstall apks feature: how does this work? Is it batch or one at a time?
EDIT: Also, to flash TWRP, do I need to be in bootloader mode and do I need to disable security on my phone before flashing? Will I lose root when flashing it? I'm using the latest Magisk.
Sent from my Google Pixel XL using XDA Labs

Finally i got a solution for Nexus and Pixel Factory Image flash, now it works perfectly

Thank. I've been using the Unified Android Toolkit from Skipsoft for a while now, but a lot of functions are blocked. I'll give this a go.

Thanks, remember to give me a feedback

I saw now that i forgot to unlock the flash factory image option for all 4 Pixel, i have released an update to solve that, tell me if it works

I'm running purenexus 7.1 ROM and would like to go to Oreo stock but retain root. Is this the right tool for me?

You can't retain root after flashing a factory image. You can root the oreo factory image after you have flashed it

I take it this is for windows only?

Thanks
Thanks for this toolkit
My phone was loop in no command screen . And you save me
I have questions about this toolkit
- can I use it to flash any custom rom or just original image
- can I root my phone with toolkit
- there is another virgin of toolkit can be use in a pixel book
Best wishes,

You can't directly flash a custom rom with this tool, you need a TWRP already flashed on your phone and you can use "Recovery Zip Flasher" ( I do not recommend it ), i think is better to put the rom on your phone and flash it from your phone.
This tool can't root directly your phone, but gives all you need to root it (Bootloader Unlock and the flash of a TWRP).
Pixel book? This tool is only available for Windows, maybe you can use it on pixelbook with a virtual machine, but i don't know how pixel book works

With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works
