Hi,
This tool unlock bml5 to allow writing of kernel with a simple "dd" command.
You can find also a basic update.zip for CWM that :
- Make backup of the current current
- Flash new kernel
The bmlunlock tool is in kernel_updater.zip.
How to use :
Put your zImage in the update.zip. Then, use CWM and install zip.
This tool was made by Koush (Thank to him ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767431

Is this hard todo? You just have to open the zip(not extract) and replace it with a new zimage.

[I9003] First attempt to get CWM running / boot image tools included

Hi Guys.
User "rb210" asked me to help porting CWM to I9003.
I've built it from sources and created a correct recovery.fstab with the partition layout of your device.
Since i'm not owning a I9003, i cannot do more for you. Sorry. :-(
Here are my tools to create a normalboot.img and a recovery.img based on stock kernel:
http://www.multiupload.com/5W80N6HOW2
Don't know if it's the right way, because it's very different compared to I9000.
CWM recovery binary is included at root/sbin and recovery/sbin folders.
Read teh README!
Good Luck

Thank you mate for helping us. It would be great, if it works on I9003. We appreciate your work for I9003. Hope now I9003 will have CWR running soon.

How do you proceed from here ?

THANKYOU for your precious work

Can you suggest some reference/guide to proceed further?

Yes, download mode will still be available. I bricked my phone 3-4 times last night while testing the PDA tarballs codeworkx built. In the end he gave me this PDA to restore my phone to normal.

I built it and test it.... doesn't work... the phone hangs on first logo and adb cant see the phone

Lets donate codeworkx for this, and help him buy this phone so that he can help us with recovery. We will need his help again when Gingerbread is released.

Restore the default image with the file I uploaded. Like I said, I tried some builds but I had to revert back to normal. This isn't working yet but it is a start.

I build from source a recovery.img that works... or so i think... now i'm gonna try with normalboot.img.. finger crossed

Can you provide brief explanation, how to compile this? Even I would like to try.

Please wait.... i compiled also normalboot.img in the same way but it doesn't work... maybe my recovery.img doesn't work.... so there's no need to explain you how to make mistake

Sorry repost.

I've done many tests, finally i can say that we must review the mkbootimg method.... if i unpack the stock kernel files and then i repack it doesnt work...

[GUIDE] Internal sdcard not writable? Fix..

Recently many users have been having issues with their internal sdcard not being writable, either due to flashing AOSP and then touchwiz or other reasons. This little guide will help you fix this issue.
Notes-
1. Read all the steps before attempting this
2. I have used this method to successfully fix my sdcard and make it usable
Prerequisites-
1. You will need root
2. You will need terminal emulator on your phone
3. You will need some reading skills and glasses if your eyes are weak..
Steps-
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type "su"
Your screen should look like this
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
3. Now type this command, "restorecon -v -R /data/media"
Your screen should look like this now
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
4. Now you can use your internal sdcard without any issues

Yeah if you typed the command exactly then terminal probably wasn't granted root.

Many many many THANKS ...
I was getting crazy because of this problem..
You saved me from a big headache
BTW..
I can confirm you that i flashed an AOSP rom (carbon) on my Note 3 ..
After that i have flashed the x-note, and no write permissions for the sdcard (very strange.. no permissions only for the 3rd part explorers..TW file explorer worked instead..)
Is that possible to know the reason of this problem?
