Hi guys,
Is it possible to change the kernel of a nand build at all?
I am an Extended Battery user and find only NAND builds with Hastarins kernel work at all..
Is there a way of mixing and matching Kernels with builds?

Just made something for you, note: haven't tested it:
Kernel Theiving
How to:
- Install Nand version which has the kernel you want.
- Run "extract_kernel.bat"
- Install Nand version you like, and want to keep.
- Run "install_kernel.bat".
- Et voila!
Now, you only have to use "install_kernel.bat" if you flash another rom.
Note: You need adb installed on your PC
Quickie on how to install adb:

You need adb:
-Get this installer: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Go to Available Packages, Expand Third Party - Google - select USB Driver
-Update adb driver, if not already installed from: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver
-Copy "adb.exe" and "AdbWinApi.dll" from "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" to "C:\Windows\System32".
-Run the batch file.

I read the batch file and
you have created a folder called boot under data folder and pasted the zimage
so everytime when we boot out Hd2s it going to replace the zimage with the one in boot folder, so i guess its going to delay the booting process (correct me if im wrong) so is it possible to delete that folder after booting our Leos?

No, that's not what it does. it mounts the boot partition temporarily to /data/boot, and after it's mounted, adb copies over the zImage file, and overwrites the preexisting kernel image, after this, the partition is unmounted. So it's not repeated at each boot.
works a treat...
I just used Android commander..
made sure it was connected..
then ran the extract batch file
installed the nand build i wanted...
then ran the install Kernel.bat
and it works a treat!!!!

Is all that done on the phone? It seems you installed the kernel on the phone somehow. I'm clueless about adb, I tried to use it before but was dumbfounded by it all.
Do I need Eclipse? Downloading the SDK stuff...installing JDA SE and it talks about Eclipse.
Moon2 the links dead it says file has been removed anybody re upload it????

so you mean it should be 644 or not?? and what about other files there are some files too which don't have 644..

I'm currently trying to make a new build to see if things have changed.
Could anybody please tell me how I can open/edit the *.img files? I have to do this on Fedora Linux because I have no other operating system.

Why do you need that? Files should be next to the .imgs when build finishes

I thought it was useful if I have just image files. But that's not so important because after 4 hours syncing sources my internet disconnected so I'm a bit angry now. So all over again...

i suspect the proprietary binaries are culprit here.try comparing the kernel size of android and B2G. this may give idea.
or else try what all binaries are pulled in B2G and are they same as Android ?
i didn't faced any issues in Nexus 4. code sync + build + flash in single attempt.

Hey guys, today I downloaded the updated Phoenix OS and decided to root it. I'm kindly sharing my image for anyone who would like to download it:
Instructions:
Install Phoenix OS v2.0.6 and do not restart your computer
Download the correct system rooted.7z file provided in the Download section and extract it
Go to C:\Phoenix OS (or wherever your Phoenix OS installation is) and replace the system.img file that's already there with the one you just downloaded
Reboot your computer now and boot into Phoenix OS. Complete the setup wizard
Install the latest version of SuperSU. Since Phoenix OS v2.0.6 comes with Play Store already, sign in with your Google account and update SuperSU that way. If you for some reason cannot use the Play Store, you can find SuperSU on the official thread. Download the flashable zip, extract Superuser.apk from the common folder, and install it in Phoenix OS by opening the .apk file with the default file manager that comes with the OS.
Update the binary by choosing Normal and your Phoenix OS should now be fully rooted

[Request][Root] Phoenix OS x86 v2.0.6
Hey first of all finally i found the way to root Phoenix OS but there is a problem i have x86 bit version of Phoenix OS so i was hoping you could help out so could you kindly provide a rooted Phoenix OS x86 bit system.img please or tell me the method to root it i would appreciate the help.
And by the way i have a question i have a 64-bit operating system but when i installed Phoenix OS it said it is recommended to install the x86 bit version so i installed the x86 bit version so should i use the 64 or 86 bit version ????
Well the x86 bit version works fine but some glitches can be seen and it gets stuck if i leave it inactive for some time.

Hey, I can work on getting the x86 version of the rooted image for you The method which I used could be found here.
Also, that suggestion sounds incorrect. What OS exactly are you running? Tell me more about your computer specs (CPU, Windows version, and especially how much RAM you have). If you have 4GB of RAM or more, I would go for the x64 version of Phoenix OS. Try it out and let us know if it works better for you, though there might not be much difference in performance. If I remember correctly, my Phoenix OS also causes my screen to go black after it's been sitting inactively for a while. I think it's a common issue with Phoenix OS.

The inactive black screen bug of Phoenix OS has to do something with the lock screen in android which auto locks screen if inactive for some time.
Thanks for the extensive info. It looks like your computer should be able to run the 64-bit version of Phoenix OS just fine. Why don't you give it a try? Also, I posted the x86 version of the rooted image if you still need it.

Good point, I will try to fix it. I'm assuming this issue can be eliminated by disabling the screen lock timeout timer.

Root is working fine, but the one app that won't install successfully for me is Google Plus. It claims my "device isn't compatible with this version" which is weird, given that it worked in previous versions of Phoenix OS. Any thoughts on this? Chinese localization or something maybe?
Edit: I can't even install it if I download it from APKMirror btw.

Hmm thanks for bringing it up. I haven't tried the app on Phoenix OS. Does it work on the original non-rooted version of Phoenix? Give it a try and let us know.
I've noticed that there are several apps that don't work for some reason. Some of the apps I use often give me an Error 501 when trying to install from anywhere. I've tried everything and still haven't gotten them to work. Hopefully more compatibility is coming soon.

Yea, it doesn't work in the non-rooted version either. Probably a build.prop issue with whatever the device is being identified as. I tried to modify it several ways, but couldn't get it working. It worked in previous versions, so I'm hoping they'll correct it soon. I'll report it in the official forums too.
Hi
After installing the PhoenixOS, the Windows Boot Manager(the blue screen one) did not appear when booting,it will boot into the windows 10 directly and I cant select to boot into the Phoenix OS.So I need to press the F12 button everytime i power on my laptop to choose whether i want to boot into windows or phoenix OS via the bios boot manager.Is there any solution to make my Phoenix detectable by Windows Boot Manager?

Chances are, Windows Boot Manager got moved up in the boot sequence. Using EasyUEFI, you can move the Phoenix OS entry back up so it starts booting:
Download and install EasyUEFI.
Open it, click OK, click Manage EFI Boot Option and post what you see here. This is your boot order. If Windows Boot Manager is above Phoenix OS, that means that Windows is being loaded using its default boot loader. What you're trying to do is use the Phoenix OS GRUB loader.
Click on Phoenix OS and click the green up arrow until the Phoenix OS entry is at the very top.
Restart the computer and see if it boots to the GRUB loader.
If it doesn't work, let's investigate what's inside your EFI partition.
First, open command prompt as admin (press start, type in cmd, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then press yes). Type in:
Code:
mountvol X: /s
Then type in:
Code:
cd X:\EFI\Boot
And then type in
Code:
dir
and press enter. It should list all the files in that boot directory. Post here on the forum what you see. You can use the command
Code:
dir >>C:\xda-efi-output.txt
to output to a text file and then it would make it easier for you to post it here. The file is located on the root of the C:\ drive. Open it and copy-paste what's inside on the forum, preferably inside code or hide tags to keep it neat. Assuming it's there, you can type in
Code:
grub.cfg
which will open the file with your default text editor. Feel free to post what's inside your grub file.

The solution is to add it yourself.
When in EasyUEFI:
1. click the add button.
2. From type list select Linux/Other.
3. Add a Description (this is what it will be called in the UEFI menu).
4. Select your efi partition (the FAT32 one with the light dot).
5. Click Browse
6. Select \EFI\PhoenixOS\bootx64.efi and click OK.
7. Click OK
8. Use arrows to reorder list to your needs.
And that text file you put up seems to be nothing to do with your EFI. It's a list of your windows directory.

Thank you so much to reply this.

What kind of laptop do you have? It sounds like your bootloader is locker. Try going into BIOS and disabling "Secure Boot" or whatever is available from your motherboard. Also, since you couldn't find the Phoenix OS entry, maybe you should try reinstalling Phoenix OS.

There is no possible way to flash it, you need Odin and windows system. I saw you can't install windows why so?
Because I tried Unetbootin and other programs on Kali Linux to install Windows 8.1 32 bit on USB but when I boot from USB the PC says that there is no system mounted on USB
You can try using Heimdall. It's a linux program for flashing samsung firmware but, if i'm not wrong, you have to separate the firmware in different files like one for the boot, one for the system ...
