Voodoo lagfix kernel for I897UCKB1

Guys:
Don't follow any instruction to flash this kernel on your captivate running official froyo I897UCKB1. I tried all advices and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily the unbricking method you can find.in xda saved me. But, i had to flash.back to JF6 (2.1 eclair stock) using odin3 and then went back to kies mini to get the official froyo. I am writing this for people who like to use stock froyo instead of any.custom roms. I had to waste my time because.some.people suggested a few methods without knowing it for sure. Most suggestions are great in this forum (thats how i used serendipity.for a while). But, some or one of the bad suggestions can brick your phone real bad. So, ask as many questions as possible before going with a suggestion you see. Preferably look at how to videos. If there are none out there. Then, WAIT!

It does work. Odin works fine. Also if you recovered your phone it was not bricked. A brick is a brick.

Then xda should remove the link for "how to unbrick" link. Brick is of two types. Soft and hard. What you mean is hard. What I meant b was soft. But, even soft.can cause serious issues. Post a video if you can. That will help a lot.

I did the sgs kernel flasher method. Heard voodoo voice prompts at reboot. In the end it said "lagfix deleted". I saw the same stock kernel after that. So, what am I missing. I did everything as suggested. Didn't miss anything. I think there is something missing here. SERIOUS. I HAVE ROOTED, FLASHED CUSTOM ROMS BEFORE. I think this is.crazy.

questions about kangs cm9

Well got another question lol I know I'm a noob to the whole rooting Droid phone's but I changed my rom to euroskank cm9 was wondering why there is a few things in settings I can't get into or there is nothing there, do I have to update the rom, and was wondering about themes for it. Thanks in advance

I was just wondering what the certain things are that you can't get into/select?

When I go into system settings I can't open dock or icon settings but the rom is a great looking rom . There is a few other options that are blank nothing important stuff like themes

time for you to do some reading, if all your using is ROM manager, then you need to read up on NVFlash. without NVFlashing your phone, if you get stuck in a bootloop, you cant access recovery.
as for changing the ROM, just check these forums from time to time. I wouldnt reccomend automatic updates anyway because most updates in roms introduce new quirks and issues, and if you look at the thread in the forum before flashing it youll get a better idea of what those issues are.

I have flashed a new recovery have had one rom boot loop but have tried a couple like the cm9 but missing a few features I would like to have that are not in it, there so much stuff that's possible trying to find a set up I like lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

Read read read and read some more. A little reading goes a long way! You nvflased your phone right? I don't even use rom manager. I boot into recovery each and every time I want to switch roms. As for updates just go to the Site or check out rootzwiki. That is where my buddy dj posts the roms. Here is euroskank Site http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/
Hopefully I don't get heat for this lol

stuck on lg screen after flashing promethius rom

hey guys i just flashed promethius rom and now im stuck on lg screen can get into cwm but thats about it can any one help me think i will have to go back to stock anyway i want to update to gingerbread this lg optimus 3d is still running froyo plz help guy

Try a factory reset from within cwm

i think you cant run prometheus, until you have gb on your o3d.First you need to flash it.Use kdz method or wathever you like to do this.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

I'm pretty sure the fact that you're running froyo is the reason why flashing the rom.did not work. Promethius operates on gingerbread basebands so you need to be updated for the rom to work properly. It would also help if you asked this in the promethius thread lol
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Did you make a back up before you tried flashing the rom?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

hello
Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable
Run Lg Suite
remove the batteries and then insert
you hold the power On end volume up (+)
keep it pressed until lg suite says that the phone is connected
Or you will see the option to upgrade - If yes, update your phone to the basic version
And if it does not display upgrade options
Go to the Emergency Recovery system end typing the IMEI and install - end update your phone to the basic version.

And what exactly did you develop in this thread?
Please avoid creating threads like this in Android Developers section.
Apart from that all necessary information to fix your phone is here
[GUIDES/TOOLS]Making Developing/Flashing/Returning to Stock Easier (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page)
or you can ask for help from Promethius ROM users in that thread.

I think this thread should be moved to general section

Not to be rude or anything but please don't start a new thread every time a single problem occurs. Also, do some searching and reading in the threads that are already there. There's at least 4 guides to do a kdz flash. We shouldn't have to hold your hand every time something happens.
But really, update to gingerbread and that'll clear up 90% of your problems

[Q] TMobile G2X Root and ROM advice for the complete noob

ok so here is the deal. my g2x is crashing like the hindenburg several times a day, very frustrating. Tmobile won't help since it's out of warranty. I need all the help i can get when it comes to doing any rooting and/or mods to the phone to get it to stop crashing so much. i have not rooted the phone yet, so advice on the best way for a numbskull like me to do it (superonecilck?). then, advice on what would be a stable mod or rom or whatever you call it to install on the phone so i stop being so frustrated. now mind you, whatever rom/mod etc that is recommended please make sure it is so easy a 2 yr old could do it, because i know me..i WILL screw it up!
any and all advice is welcomed. i am beyond pissed at this phone now and i need to keep from throwing it at the wall. Tmobile won't budge about helping to replace this, only grant me the full upgrade pricing early, so i can give them another $150-300 for a new phone, while new customers come in and get stuff free.
thanks to any and all who respond.

Have you installed the latest V21y software? That seems to have cleared up lots of the problems some people were having with the g2x.

i have not tried that yet....now that I know this I will try though. Anything is better than giving TMobile more $.

I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
[ Installation procedure: ]
1. reboot to CWM
2. Clear cache
3. Advanced, clear Dalvik
4. install zip from SDcard
5. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Thanks. We have full detailed guides listed for new owners in the development settings. Some people have issues with faux 52 kernel, if so try using 48 or 50 in place of 52.
Sent via G2x on CM7 b135.1 w/faux 52 kernel

Never had arbitrary crash problems with my unrooted stock g2x on either original Froyo or GB update. If your phone still has problems after the GB update you might have an app problem, or a hardware problem. Update to GB, strip all Apps, and see if it works. If it does, add the apps back in one at a time. If not, toss it.

I cant put that feature directly in the rom
since apps are unreliable
but i can make flashable zips for different dpis

It would be nice to have an updated rom for T211 since I saw some people looking for some (including me). Also, we all know that roms for this device are discontinued a long, long time ago.

i see i will make a rom then a working one
since it will be stockbased it will be bug free or hv small problems tht can be solved easily
about updated i dont think i will update whole rom but just some bug fixes by making flashable zips along with some new apps
it will take me some time to start the process
since im very busy with my studies but u can expect it within this week

The infamous tab 3 rom works really well with the blackhawk kernel....The Rom by itself will not run properly,,, boot up is slow and doesn't display the boot animation, various force close issues, but as soon as the kernel is installed, the Rom performs flawlessly(however I have yet to get a nandroid backup as they all fail).....I really would love to see development for this device as a lot of people are going to this phablet because of the cost vs paying for one of the large phones.....this device needs and deserves attention from developers.....I will be glad to test and make donations to further the development of a working 4.2.2 upgrade and further as we are stuck with only one working Rom......

Yo,
I tried infamous but there was a download problem or sumthing it turned out to be an incomplete file
If u can tell me the version u are using...
I can use it as base and remove all the bloat, add some tweaks, add some awesome apps, replace samsung apps , tweak the ui, add a lot of customizabilty, replace the ringtones, add gaming tools,
Rom will be ready with the must have root apps that u install after every rom change etc.
So these things are what i can do
U think tht i should make it?
Or maybe wait for safarikings rom?
