If you search for 'x10 stock kernel' you should find a stock kernel with xrecovery. I found it a month ago, just don't remember where.

Relocking Bootloader oopsee
Mr, Whitefang, I made a little.. mistake, if you could call it that.. I had a buggy rom and wanted to reflash it, and without properly checking what rom i selected, I accidently selected the "X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf" in the menu, connected my phone, then realized I had just relocked the Bootloader..
The phone still starts up normally with custom Kernel and all, but I cant re-unlock it..
What on earth do I do?
EDIT:
Soo, I flashed it with the Kernel + baseband ftf file. and it started up normally.. I believe I might be able to unlock the BL again.. Im lucky I survived it...
Great guide.. Helped me unlock the BL in the first place...
Great guides, something I was looking for for a while now.
First problem (I'm a newbie), I was at Beginner 2 of 3 and at step 7, but the boot logo is stuck. But I did exactly what you told me to do. And I had the exact specs you defined. What should I do? I can't find a stock rom ftf because they're all down
Edit: Fixed it
HI all , i lunched this thread after weeks of googling and usless search for a new stock or custom rom to update my phone (samsung sgh-i857 doubletime) it's a dual screen phone with querty built-in keyboard it's from at&t and it is stuck on android 2.2.2, i'm very sad that they and after years from lunching it didn't back it up with a single soft update -_- ... and i know that there are users who bought this phone like me and seek help.. i know that it's not this easy but if you are a devloper help us by creating a custom rom for it ....if you are a user of this phone please support this thread by commenting so we can get an update for it :good: ps: i attached informations for it's cpu
Hello good sir, I like you am a noobish Doubletime user who is struggling to update it to Gingerbread. So far I have been somewhat able to use the Cyanogenmod source code and I have built a CWM Recovery for the device but that seems to have hard bricked it... I ordered a new one off ebay for $15 and I'm ready to start cooking. You have my support!
Just an update.
I have a plan I have on how to get this runnin.
1. Port CWM to the DoubleTime through Cyanogemod 6.
2. Get a working version of Cyanogenmod 6 working on the DoubleTime to hopefully free up some space.
3. Find if Gingerbread can run on Froyos kernel.
From there I'll either be building a GingerBread compatable kernel or Cyanogenmod 7 depending on compatability. Any advice or help would be very appreciated.
Being new to ROM building I'm a little lost and hesitant on flashing things but here's what I know so far.
The DoubleTime uses a Qualcomm MSM7230 same as the HTC Vision. I forked it's Github respiratory and I'll be using it as a base as recommended by the Cyanogenmod porting guide.
The partitions sizes (as a accurately as I can estimate them) are:
/cache=21.05MB
/data=176.65MB
/system=194.38MB
I may need to know the recovery partition size but I'm not sure how to find that out.
I have the recovery.img and the boot.img as well as the zImage. So as soon as the repo sync is done I'll be on my way.
I'm back again today with somewhat mixed news, I can find most of the partitions and their names (I've learned a lot today) but I can not seem to find the boot, recovery or ramdisk partitions. I'm already boggled by the what seems to be unconventional naming setup for partitions. Put all of my "notes" in a text docement in the attachments section. Any help with this is very appertiated. I can type and post anything into the ADB shell you need me too.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm talking to myself, I probably am...
Upon reading forum rules and such it has come to my attension that this is the wrong forum for this kind of thread, So I have made a new thread in the Miscellaneous Android Developement Forum that will hopefully be more useful at getting more proffesional and opinionated help.

Is there any Custom Recovery for the Galaxy Tab 4? I tried this but it will not boot into recovery.
Can someone please sent me their stock recovery image please
Sent from my SM-T230NU using XDA Free mobile app
Hi there are a few version of the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 that have no support for a custom recovery.
Source files have been found and are ready to be worked with.
The devices we would like to bring support to are the:
T330NU source file:

T335K source file:

T337a source file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/21kf9dZYce/SM-T337A_NA_KK_Opensource.html
If ANYONE is willing or knows someone who could be willing to port a custom recovery to these devices it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass on the message and spread the word. If we all do work together we should be able to get this done.
There are many people who are willing to test the final work. Thanks in advance.
Custom recovery for sm-t237p??
Any chance anyone is working on a custom recovery for the Sprint Galaxy Tab 4 7"? Idk what it is but the Sprint Galaxy Tabs, including the Tab 3 7" are always cast aside and no one ever wants to put the work into building or porting a custom rom, let alone finish one. Thankfully for the Tab 3(sm-t217s) there is a custom recovery..Great! What good is it without someone finishing a custom rom, i.e. CandyKat, SlimRom, Goodness Rom. They're all unfinished and cast aside. Its sad. But yeah, I'm mostly a n00b when it comes to building or porting. Period. I'd love to learn. I want to finish one of theses roms to fully functionally capacity. If anyone has the know-how on how I can start helping plz don't hesitate to hmu. Thank you.

We really need a TWRP recovery for this model!
Once rooted the LTE bands for AT&T could then be enabled (hopefully).

Help with TWRP for samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 (SM-T230 )
I juts got a new galaxy tab 4 7.0 . Because of its horrible GPU and TouchWiz,im barely able to move through the home screen.

Need kernel file
Hi, i'm trying to port CyanogenMod 12 to the Tab 4 and i've seen that you've used some custom mkbootimg to compile the recovery image, the problem is the Target_Kernel_Config file isn't found inside the kernel i've downloaded from the samsung open-source website, I wonder if anyone have this file on their computer (pxa1080_degaswifi_eur_defconfig).
It would be really helpful if someone could send me the file since it would allow me to continue working on the port.
Thanks again.
Update to lastest version ?

Is there a ROM that works for Tilapia (N7 3G 2012)?
Thanks!
Hey monfro i made an xda account because your work sped up my nexus 7 greatly. I want to say thank you! When i first got my nexus 7 it was really fast, and i rooted it and tried some roms but the stock android was always smoothest. 2 years later now this tablet is really slow, although gaming is still good, internet and scrolling was getting frustrating. I was running 4.4.4 it was laggy then i went to 5.0.2 it was unusable. I looked up how to make it run faster and found out about the f2 filesystem and gave it a try.
I couldnt get it working until i used the info in your thread and rastas rom, tried a couple f2fs roms that i couldnt get working but this thread made it easy. Had it for a few days now and it Runs great now. Im typing this because when it booted today it ran faster than i ever seen it. Was a little confuzing trying to convert the filesystem as some of the info about the custom recovery was outdated on xda, i already had a recovery that supported f2fs and didnt know it. I messed a lot of things up and bricked my tablet after messing around trying to intall a bunch of older custom recoveries and different roms.
Luckily with wuzfresh toolkit i was able to unbrick and reinstall and re root and install newest twrp, once i did that i just converted all filesystems and flashed the rom and supersu and g apps. G apps wouldnt flash on your stock rom as filesize was too large already and i couldnt root it for some reason but rastas worked. Glad i got it here because rastas only hosting his lollypop roms. i dont want any lollipop roms on this device lollypop sucks right now, and is unusable on the 2012n7. Got the rom from your thread this tablets running real smooth now.
Only problem is there is a lot of ads on xda for mobile not sure why but im getting popups and captcha left and right. Im posting from the tablet, gonna stay using xda on my computer from now on. But thanks for your contribution im gonna lock this tablet at 4.4.4 f2fs. Great to have people like you helping all the nexus 7 owners, this is still a decent tablet and a great sized tablet
Wich is the procedure to follow to install this rom and format nexus 7 on F2FS? Is that filesystem really faster? Thanks

Backup with Titanium to internal storage. Clear the data and cache, restore. This should fix the external card issue, assuming your sdcard is not corrupt then you would need to re-format it.
RESPONSE
HI ALL, IM using this rom on my 910h variant of the note 4 with no issues so far, SD card works, 3 mint mod, works, volume boost works. The rom is fast and smooth, the only thing not working at the moment the 4 power menu. I hope this helps some of you.

Stuck on Samsung Note 4 Screen
Hello, guys.
I`m stuck on the Smasung Note 4 screen and nothing happens.
I diid clean install with full wipes of everything, but still no success.
Tried 4 times with different options....
realy want to try this rom but can`t.
Maybe somebody know why this happens to me?
thx.
I a new to this, because just ordered a Note 4 (N910C) which I will be receiving tomorrow, until now I did not know, that it was possible to get it Rooted ?
Looking forward to this, Rom especially according to his (better) battery-efficiency, luckily with a few mods which sounds very good to me, as in being a Noob and therefore no need for + no Bloatware !
Anyone tried Viper4android with masik 2.1? I cant get it working.
I had the same issue but only when I tried to flash the masik rom from a Stok rom, so my solution was install first any other lollipop custom rom and after a successful boot, back to recovery and install the Masik rom
