Hey!
I downloaded Heimall but CANNOT seem to figure it out.. Don't want to do anything wrong and brick the phone.
Sorry, but can you give me a step by step, once Heimall has been downloaded?
Thanks so much!
I have a post in the development section.
Try reading before screwing with your phone.

The one-click is super simple. It only requires that you have Java installed. There are three different ones here:[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. Whatever you're getting from samfirmware.com is old, as I recall. I don't think they had anything past KI1 or KI3...something like that. The one-clicks are all based on KJ6.

THanks man.. but on quick look it seems this is for a PC...?
if not, how do you know if you have JAVA installed on a mac or not?
Also, is this something that I can download from the android market via my phone?

It's OS-agnostic because it uses Java. You can execute that command on Windows, Linux, or MAC OS. I also want to say that you can double-click it from Windows and/or MAC and it will execute. I have not tried that method.
If you want to see if Java is installed (I don't know MACs) open a terminal and issue the command: java -version
It should return the version of Java you have installed, if it's there.
The one-click kernels are not available on the market; you'll have to grab 'em from here

hmm ok.. i think i'm going a bit over my head on this...
Basically all I want to do is to install a custom ROM on my phone. I dont really know all the terms bootloaders and kernals and the like (the one click on the VIbrant was super easy.. just plug and play..)..
But I don t want to download the wrong thing and brick my phone either..
So a couple of questions:
1. So on the link, which one am i supposed to download?
2. As per instructions on the link, do I type the commands in the terminal window? And if so does it download automatically into my phone?
thanks man

Get the kj6 beta 2d file. It includes root and a custom kernel with cwm (this is what you need to flash a custom ROM).

Hey I think this was one of the problems I was having with Heimdall.. some files are missing or I can't find them:
On 4B (on your instructions page) it says "Open the unziped heimdall folder then open the the "drivers" folder and run (double click) the "zadig" application"
But there is no "drivers" folder (I downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 (Binaries) from the glassenchida site)

My guide is for windows installation. if you did it right you got the Mac version. It sounds like you already un zipped it so Try putting your device in download mode and opening the one click you downloaded or heimdall front end. It should auto install drivers or prompt you with on screen instructions to do so (if not drivers whatever Mac calls them).

its been going for a bit now, like 7 min. how long is it supposed to take?
btw, I had the app open before I put the phone into download mode. then i clicked "detail", then "flash" on the app

Earlier today I decided I wanted to try Gingerbread through the Android Emulator. It required several updates and the SDK was update to v8. It seems that v8 does not contain adb.exe. For anyone who will be working on their phone using adb, this is obviously a problem.
I've provided v7 below for those that need it.

Yeah.. I was kinda scared. I messed with Gingerbread, then started messing with my phone. Had to pull build.prop through android commander and it said ADB wasn't working. I redirected the path and it said not found. ADB wouldn't work in cmd. I was worried others might have the same problem.

Hi guys i was changing my phone from the octane 2x to a stock 2.3.3 , everything went good on the change except that now my phone doesnt let me rooted via superclick or go to download mode and i cant do nothing now with it, just use it, with the stock 2.3.3 that i flash via Odin. Is there a possible way to root it again and install other roms??? any help would be very appreciated!! and another thing that i see is every time i plug the phone to the computer the Usb connected appears but the usb debbugin doesnt =S strange!!!!!!
I'm commuting home and can't give active help (I'll loose coverage here and there) and don't know what stock 2.3.3 ROM you are on. But,
All you need to do to root is Odin one of Drhonks Kernels. KI3 is what Devs are using in their Gingerbread ROMS. His Kernels are in the Development Section.

Yeah, the KF series were funny about stuff. Try shutting down the phone, take out the battery, plug in the USB cable, hold down VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time while you put the battery back in.
If that doesn't work, download the Android SDK from www.android.com & install it. Then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, and issue the command: adb reboot download

Once it's installed, open a command prompt (Start --> Run --> cmd & press Enter)
Typically it installs in Program Files on 32-bit OS's and in Program Files (x86) on 64-bit OS's, so the the 'cd' command you use depends on your OS:
32-bit: type this, followed by Enter: cd \Program Files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit: type this, followed by Enter: cd \Program Files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
type this, followed by Enter: adb reboot download

Awesome, glad you got it. All you should have to do is put one of drhonk's kernels on it. Make sure it's the same version. If you're going stock GB I'd suggest installing KJ6 then drhonk's KJ1 kernel.

I didn't want to clutter up the dev thread with these questions, but I've never used any CM build on any phone.
I unzipped Bryan's CM7 build to see what was inside and noticed it didn't seem to have a launcher and didn't seem to have any market app. Ok so does that mean you have to pre install Google apps from the SDcard to be able to access the market?
In reading the instructions, it seems like Bryan's CM7 build uses the same kernel as his regular beta kernel thread but that can't be right, can it, with the discussion on the thread....
I noticed that the Google apps were all modified for CM7, so does that mean that ordinary apps won't work unless they're modified?
Can I still use the TW4 launcher on CM7? Used to it.
The business about USB storage not working in Android. I assume that means you can't put anything on the SDcard using the USB cable after Android has booted up so that you have to push everything on there with ADB, is that it, in recovery mode?
1. It does contain a launcher; Its called ADW Launcher.
2. Yes, you would need to flash the google apps. I use this one
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
and this one http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
3. You flash the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file then the gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip google talk with video chat support.
4. Its a different kernel. CM7 is using the MTD version. While regular stock roms use BML.
5. I believe you can use the google apps on those files on any rom. But most roms already bring them integrated.
6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.
7. As mentioned in 6, you cannot use TWLauncher on cm7.
8. Yes you would have to push everything through ADB in the meantime. Pushing/puling through adb does not require rebooting to recovery though.
Can someone make a video on how to install the rom?
Just follow the written instructions on the thread and you'll be fine
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Honestly they confuse the crap outta me. A video would dumb it down for me and im sure a few others.
IDK how the heck I made my efs backup.
But if anyhow, you manage to make some sort of a tar file with your efs files, you should be fine.
After that,
do the erase_image
and mount /efs
and cd /efs
and tar xf anybackupname.tar
you will install. That is if you get your.

My suggestion is to wait until the install procedure is easier.
In the CM7 OP, Bryan said (twice) to re-read OP after updates.
Making a video will give you proper instructions for this build, but if Bryan updates the install procedure users following the video are going to have a mixed bag of results, and possible bricks.

I have a question as well. Yes, I know that this isnt exactly high priority, but I'm wondering if later there will be a build with Wifi calling. I was trying to install it myself, but it kept force closing, and I don't wanna try anything that'll mess up my phone any worse than I have before.
Wifi calling is basically a must for me since I basically live in Smallville, KS. I get little to no service here, and without it, it usually takes forever to get anything. And yes, I've tried every modem I could, KG4 works best, since I can sometimes get one bar.
I'm trying to complain or anything, and I thank Team Acid for bringing us CM7.
Neo I'm sure at one point bryan will get that working.

So does that mean that NONE of the apps will work unless modified to run on CM7? Or are you just talking about certain Samsung issued apps? I'm in the middle of an old Tarzan novel on my e-reader program on the phone...
I have a question with the process flash boot.img with heimdall...when i open heimdall front end and put boot.img into the flash local package..i get a error the tar header contained an invalid file size..on the flash tab, it only takes pit files..also when i just use the heimdall ..a black screen happens similar like a command prompt and just exits..
how do i flash the boot.img with heimdall?
This is using fbs instructions that I am using and i am stuck on step 7. flash the latest boot.img from bryans op..

Are you on windows? If so open command promt. Cd into the heimdall suite directory. Put your phone in DL mode and connect to usb. From command type "heimdall detect". Should say device detected. Then just put the boot.img in the same directory and follow the OP.

That's just Samsung-specific stuff like TouchWiz that require Samsung's modified frameworks and extra libraries.
Just use FB's install guide instead. I was going to wait until it was installable through CWM, but this is essentially the same thing with a few extra steps.
What will this do?This will install CWM recovery on your bootloader unlocked HTC One XL (AT&T, Rogers, Asia, etc.)

Don't thank me. Thank Paul O'Brien of MoDaCo for creating a usable recovery image.

Yes right now. If someone wants to create a Mac/Linux version, that'd be awesome.
You can manually install by doing the following:

It's no harder than for the linux crowd. If you're familiar with Terminal, then adb commands should be second-nature.
That being said, if you look at the contents of the install.bat, you can see which commands are being run. Use those same commands from Terminal on your Mac, assuming you've already setup the Android SDK tools (adb and fastboot).
Here's where you get the Mac SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You needn't worry about setting up the Eclipse plugin or anything like that. Once you unpack the zip, you should find an "android" binary, which when run, will launch the SDK Manager. From there you select the Android SDK Tools. That will install adb. Select Android SDK Platform Tools and that should install fastboot.

We definitely need someone that can do these conversions for mac on board. Hard out here for a mac user. LOL

Just download zip and place in system/media using a file manager like Root Explorer is the way to go...simply press and hold on file to extract all...then copy and paste the animation in the system/media folder. Make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--

Try and not use root explorer... It is 100% safer to use adb and the command line to do things like this.... If you want the commands to run to do the job then PM me, and I will give you a rundown.
Too many people with this phone and other phones have had a TON of trouble with root explorer and other file manger apps making more than just permissions changes to files, things like corrupting the files, and even changing their file type bit.

Ah! True, adb would be foolproof to do this. Didn't think to do it that way, but indeed much safer.

Yep, I always try to use adb, I am faster with command line. Today I was using windows for a while after being on only linux for weeks. I kept trying to do things with command prompt that were impossible on windows, like "rm" and even more "chmod"

Are you running a dual boot Windows/Linux machine? Maybe that's what I need to do, something that can give me options at boot which OS to use. What about Ubuntu vs Linux, which would you recommend?

Yep, I have multiple OS's. Ubuntu, Windows 7, Chrome OS, and others at times.
Ubuntu IS linux. It is just one of many builds of it. it is one of the easiest to use, and most supported for android, so for a new user/android developer it is probably the best.

Along with working out my rooted stock 2.3.6 CWM backup this evening, I'll install Ubuntu afterward. I've found an easy enough tutorial on how best to install, so even a knucklehead such as myself should be able to follow it. Lol

LOL, it's not that bad, just make sure you have a windows recovery disk with you incase you screw up the MBR. I have done that, then nothing boots at all. Scary as hell. it's super easy to fix, but you need a windows restore disk. Ignore this and don't be scared unless something bad happens, then run to google and be calm. There is very little you can do that is not easy to fix. Just don't format your whole hard drive or something if you want it working with windows.

Partition the hard drive with the recommended size, right, and that's it? I think I have a recovery disk made, but if I don't or can't find it I'll make one first - before doing anything nutty...

yep in the setup you can choose manually partition hard drive and resize windows down and create a new partition for ubuntu. It will need to be pretty big if you are gonna get into development. mine is 30GB and I am running out.
