[Q] Flashing a nexus 7 with an older kernel version (fastboot) - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
First time poster here. I built the kernel 2.26.* (instructions found at source.android.com) and it worked great with the emulator. Now I would like to test it on nexus 7, however, I only have the zImage file.. worried about using fastboot flash boot pathTozImage. Must I use the lunch command?

Sir, since your a first time poster, please read thru link below. And post questions in the Q&A sections. Thread Moved, Thank You

Guidelines
Some general guidelines (not rulles!) to follow -
1. Dont post in the wrong forum. Any development thread goes to development section. Any stuff related to themes, apps, games, shares general mods etc, go to themes and apps section. Any query, obviously, shall go to q&a section. Rest go to general.
2. Searching is key to a happy life on XDA . Never post without searching. If you are sure that what you want is not there on WHOLE of XDA, then post it.
3. Refrain from making posts like "thank you dev/ great work man/ thank you/ good luck/ best wishes" in development threads. Keep the development threads as clean as possible.
4. Questions will not be entertained in the development thread.
5. ETA (Estimated time of arrival) will not be entertained in any development thread. Asking again and again will not make it better, but may make it worse.
6. If you post in threads without following the above guidelines, you are actually putting yourself and others in trouble.
7. Use the
Thanks button to thank the dev/member, dont write it as a post.
SOME BASIC STUFF RELATED TO GALAXY 3, WORTH KNOWING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE !!
ROOTING -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS - Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Use the app Z4Root from market
Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Link
Android 2.3/4.0/4.1/++ (Gingerbread/Ice cream sandwich/Jelly Bean) - No need, if you are on one of these, you are already rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT WHY TO ROOT ?? - Link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING -
1. STOCK ROMS can only be flashed via ODIN. For a guide on how to use ODING, head HERE
LINK : TO GUIDE ON HOW TO USE ODIN FOR FLASHING STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS !
2. CUSTOM ROMS can be flashed either via ODIN or via CWM Recovery (Once you have it - see 2nd post) depending on the type of the file provided by the dev. .tar files need ODIN. update.zip files can be flashed via CWM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMS -
For any stock ROM (2.1/2.2) go to LINK

Reading through the development threads is how you learn what those terms are and what the bugs are.
This is just a listing. EDIT: If a thread was made about aries and what bugs are current, I'd be happy to add it to the listing.
The hard part for users, understandably, is having to read.
I know it's hard, but it's part of how the forum works.
I don't mind reading, but even after a search and reading tons of comments I still have not found an answer. But thanks for responding anyways. Maybe once I get a solid answer I might just make that happen.

I'm saying, this thread is not an informational thread. If there is a thread on what aries is and what the bugs are, then I would link to it here.
Any contributors around feel like starting a thread?
Tracking the bugs is half the battle.
So far I know that: GPS and tvout are broken (tvout is my fault)
I know that we're all discussing moving /data to the sdcard.
Other things like that should go into that thread. Not here. Just sayin
I hate it when I suggest something, and end up doing it any way.
I'll start an informational thread in the general forum and link to it here.

Hi, I know this isn't the right thread, but its the closest I can get to having my question answered.
So basically I have a DROID RAZR HD XT926 rooted, with android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.42 and system version 182.46.10 which is downgraded using instructions from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/root-droid-razr-hd-xt926-183-46-15-t3062040
So what I want to do is unlock my bootloader. I have been trying for a few days and searched many forums but with no success. I didn't find any other method other than using motopocalypse. I have tried using the apk version from my phone and the app says bootloader is unlocked but when I check in fastboot mode it says device is locked and status code 0. When I use the pc method ( I have windows 10) it just shows daemon started successfully... and then u nothing.
If anyone could provide any assistance I would really appreciate it.

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. Most developers have given up and moved on to newer devices, so finding a way to unlock the bootloader is effectively impossible.
Help updating an old XT926
Hi
I have an ex-Verizon XT926, although I am in the UK. When I first got it I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader (and changed some obscure setting so that it would potentially work on GSM in the US). But I never actually updated the ROM or took any OTA. So it is still on Android 4.1.2, 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.
Although I'm being offered 9.18.79.en.US OTA, it won't successfully take that (presumably because I've rooted it, or because it doesn't like the version of TWRP I have installed).
I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.
What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow, if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

You cannot install updates unless full stock
You will need to flash a official (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

latest official rom is Kitkat 4.4.2,
Marshmallow may available in a custom rom like CyanogenMod 13 (cm13)

I wouldn't use Rom Manager, Twrp version does matter, find a rom you would like to try, then ask in the rom ask in the Rom thread which TWRP version works best.
You will most likely need the Kitkat bootloader
I would just flash a official kitkat 4.4.2 (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

are you installing gapps too, if so what version?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs
I used the cyanogenmod app to download cm12 and the Gapps nano package for cm12. Also tried cm11 with and without its corresponding Gapps...just hangs on the duel core logo, cm12 hangs on the blue alien logo? Should I factory reset? Or will I lose my cm downloads and be screwed? Thanks for the assist
Solution to my problem was to wipe internal storage,dalvic cache,system data and cache, the went great I have cm12.1 running smooth all gapps from nano package running well. Thanks for the help, cm12.1 is really nice.
Hello,
Thanks to many threads here I was able to fix my non so well working xt925 and installed a working CM 13, but right now I face a little issue :
Everything works fine (android, apps, ...), but when I restart the phone, instead of following the restart I ask it always goes into fastboot.
I can force reboot recovery, normal, whatever, it goes to fastboot.
I have then to type fastboot continue, or to reset into bootloader to hit the command Normal powerup to start launching android.
I haven't found much info about this as everytime I looked for it, I only got people stucked onto fastboot with broken recovery/os.
I am with a jellybean bootloader.
EDIT : I actually found the solution, get into fastboot mode, and type fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The device will then restart normally. I guess I hit factory mode at some point in my previous operations. Sorry for the useless question.
Martin
No custom ROMs work?
I have an XT925 with an unlocked bootloader and it was stuck in AP fastboot mode for some time before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0. RSD Lite still won't flash 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and just returns:
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I can however flash stock 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 ROMs to my Razr HD using the Razr HD Toolkit (thread here), and flash a modified Canadian 4.4.2 OTA (from here) using RSD Lite.
For some reason though, no custom ROMs work. Many others (such as PACMAN) were hosted on GOO.IM or some other dead site (such as the unofficial Resurrection Remix), so they were impossible to download. I've only tried Dirty Unicorns, MIUI, CM11, CM12.1 and SlimKat, and only Dirty Unicorns could get to the boot animation. All other ROMs don't boot past the Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen (which has now been replaced with a Motorola Dual Core Technology one).
Any ideas?

I have moto xt926. It was working fine but now it's not accepting Sim Card. But sometimes it Accept Sim Card.
In Morning when i Turn ON my mobile sometimes sim works. But after 5 or 4 minutes it disappears automatically. Mobile phone is Rooted. I Rooted Phone 6 months ago but this problem came just a month ago.
How can i check that this is problem of hardware or Software?
( Sorry for Bad English)
Here are some Screenshots of my mobile while working sim card in Morning and then it disappearing.
I did Flash firmware after this problem but nothing changed.
Help me I'm very upset. I can't afford another mobile.

[Completed] Error while porting ROM

Hello Everybody !
I've started to work on my phone which is the Archos 45 Hélium 4G to port ROMS from his clone , the K-touch 2
I ported some ROMS, but now, i want to port MIUI V6 from the K-touch 3, which has the same CPU-GPU. The only difference is his screen, battery and camera
So I followed a small guide en.miui.com/thread-70745-1-1.html
I encountered some problems: - There is not BOOTCLASSPATH row in my boot.img, so i've just replaced the Device Tree from the stock ROM
- While flashing the zip, i have an error : " flash zip failed 'pathofthezip ' "
I did a logcat to understand where is the problem, the first logcat gave me: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) - ( I couldn't enter ADB shell because shell was deleted while installing the ROM )
So i flashed the stock ROM ( cM11 ), and tried again to flash my ported ROM, same error but the logcat gave me this: /system/bin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found ( but i could use adb shell command )
I thought that the problem was the updater-script, but i didn't see any errors.
I've also tried with a different update-binary, same error
If you want the ZIP, ask me i'll give you the link, thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. At XDA Assist we are not a technical help desk so I can't help you with your specific question. But there are many guides on porting roms on XDA. I assume you've probably found some of them I would suggest asking in some of those threads. If you need to find the threads just google rom porting xda.

[Completed] Acer Liquid Z630 root (Linux)

Hi everyone! Looked at the threads about rooting the Acer Liquid Z630, but couldn't find any of these discussing exactly what I need.
I'll provide as much information as possible, but please let me know if I missed something.
- I'm running Android 5.1 on this device,updates seem to have stopped there.
- On the bootloader the terminal continuously says waiting for device, like not recognizing it. The phone has very little information on it (2 lines actually not saying anything useful imo).
- Found a link about the bootloader part using Windows on following page (due to being new I can't post the link in a BB tag yet, I'll be working on that later, promise!).
unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-acer-liquid-z630/
- On my laptop I'm running Arch Linux, which I will be using for the root process.
- Trying to unlock the bootloader - rooting the device - upgrade to Android M.
Thanks in advance for your help!

@Vatsal Thanks for your attention! I did read the thread you mentioned before, but it doesn't seem to mention anything about the bootloader loop. As I'm stuck with that particular piece in the puzzle, do you have any manual specifically aiming for that part?
