NOTICE: I am changing the title of my kernel thread to be clearer. ALL FROYO AOSP ROMS:
Froyo MIUI (Evil D and Gr8Gorilla Ports),
Liquid Metal Ports,
CM6,
G2 and any other Froyo AOSP ROM series
All Froyo Sense ROMs should use my Froyo Sense Kernel
All Gingerbread ROMs should use my Gingerbread Kernel
Hi XDA members and fellow MT4G users:
This is my THIRD kernel hack. I want to thank Grankin, Gr8Gorilla, Erasmux, dumfuq, Cyanogen, Zinx, Snq, Pershoot and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
Updated Note: Newest ClockworkMod Recovery VERSION 3.0.0.6+ IS COMPATIBLE with this Kernel.
(NOTE: My Froyo kernel DOES NOT format EXT 4 file system directly -- Orange Color Text -- ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.4 or 3.0.0.5, so if your existing kernel is using using EXT 4 file system, you need to restore back to ClockworkMod Version 2.5.1.2 -- Green Color Text --, then WIPE EVERYTHING include Cache, System and Data)
My goal for this Sense Based Kernel is to provide maximum Sense ROM compatibility, and only apply updates/patches/enhancements once I understand how they work and their cost/benefit to the kernel as a whole...
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
My kernel is based on the HTC source code directly from developer.htc.com.
MinMax Governor (Battery Saver)
This governor will try to minimize the frequency jumps/changes which cause voltage spikes/changes which supposedly drains more battery life... Supposedly designed to work with SetCPU... so give it a whirl...
SmartAss Governor (Balanced)
This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Interactive Governor (Performance)
This governor is designed to put more priority to User Interface (UI aka Apps) tasks, therefore appears more responsive then the traditional OnDemand governor. So if you want the smoothest UI interaction, this governor is for you...
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers). CM7 main line is using this as its default scheduler, now I bring you the same performance as CM7 with compatibility to Sense Series ROMs.
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.
Installation Instructions:
Here's a step by step instruction to install this kernel to work with Froyo based ROMs:
[ Aurum Edition ]
[ CFS-Smartass ]
The File ==> Version 2.0.0 CFS Low Voltage <==
The File ==> Version 2.0.0 CFS Stock Voltage <==
[ BFS-Interactive ]
The File ==> Version 2.0.0 BFS Low Voltage <==
The File ==> Version 2.0.0 BFS Stock Voltage <==
[NOTE]: If your WiFi driver is working but somehow are are UNABLE to connect, you need to apply the following Patch:
Patch 1: WPA_Supplicant
Post your problem IN DETAIL:
A [good example] of error reporting... (from vinsane)
Here's a template to use if you don't know how to report your issue
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient (rebuilding cache structures)... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...[more detail]
NEWS BULLETIN:
Version 2.0.0 is OUT! Completely rebuilt from scratch from CM source code. Added many technologies back, added LOTS and LOTS of optimization.
BFS is BAAAACK...

edit: first to download yay
Anyone having wifi issues?? I was able to connect using .9.1, flashed this and now it won't even find it. I'm running the latest miui and have wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, did it all over again, reflashed, and still nothing. Checked my router and internet connection on my laptop and its all good there. Not sure, kind of stumped.

First is an O/C kernel that I built from the HTC source. This kernel is stable and with the right profiles setup in setCPU has given me very good battery life. I'm giving coolbho3000 credit here as his post in the G2 forums is what helped me to do this. I am also acknowledging gr8gorilla who helped me several times through this process. Second is a kernel built from the latest CM kernel zource from zinx. It has proven to be very stable (after tweaking the voltages).
Now for the boring part ... If you choose to flash this you do it at your own risk. I am in no way, shape, or form responsible if you flash this and your phone turns into a paperweight. Once again, flash this at your own risk.
There, now that that is out of the way we can get on to the good stuff.
Make sure you choose the right kernel. The stock kernel will break your CM install if you flash it.

I have packaged this into an update.zip format that you can flash through your custom recovery. Simply choose to install a zip from the sdcard and pick the update package to install it. It will install the wifi driver at the same time so you don't need to worry about that. Everything works with this kernel so far for me if you have any problems please post them and I'll see what I can do to fix them.
Remember that you hardware is not the same as your neighbor's so while he may be able to max the settings out and run stable your device may need to be set to a lower clock speed to run stable.
Source code for both kernels has been added to github. If you want to play around with them download source from here: https://github.com/grankin01
Happy Modding/Devving!
wow, thank you sir
I was just about to start testing kernels with Zinx's CM6 anyway. Looks like yours is first.
hmmm... could not run update.zip through clockworkmod. I was looking to extract the files and push them manually, however, I don't see a zImage file to push.
No luck with the miui rom. Cant get past the splash screen.

Not yet. It will work with the rom that you have installed right now though.
hey guys. im a noob to android. every other phone i have had has been winmo. i wanted to try this oc kernel because it seems easier to install than the gorilla one. however i ran into a problem when installing. i have a stock rom 2.2.1, perm rooted s=off, using clockwork recovery. i backed up my rom and flashed via rom manager. it then began to send me into a boot loop never getting past the first screen. just kept turning off and rebooting. soooooo i rebooted directly into clockwork and tried to do it from there and the same thing happened. so i restored my recovery and now everything is back to normal. can anyone point me in the right direction? i did notice that in clockwork it gave me two options to flash the kernel or to flash an update from the sd card. should i have flashed the update zip instead of the kernel or flash both.. sorry im a partial noob. i know how to use adb a lil and the emulator, this is the first thing i flashed on my phone and nearly had a heart attack from thinking i was bricked! any help is appreciated
Do you already have setCPU installed? Not everyone's phone will be able to reach the maximum speed without bootlooping or locking up. Just the nature of the beast. Try setting your speed down in setCPU (if you already have it installed) and turn set at boot off and then flashing and rebooting. Then you can test the speeds one by one to know what is working for you.
Edit: New kernel for CM and MIUI is nearly ready. 1.8Ghz with over 3200 on quadrant!!!

Only in the lower frequencies. The higher frequencies weren't stable running lower voltages.
Thanks OP. When you say the lower ranges, at which MHz did you not UV? Just curious. I am thinking of not OC'ing more than 1.4MHz and didnt know if I would get the UV benefit.
*EDIT* Meant GHz

This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.
Installation Instructions:
Here's a step by step instruction to install this kernel:
Warning Version 2.6.3+ is COMPATIBLE ONLY with Android 2.3.4 ROMs such as latest CM7 nightlies, MIUI, RoyalGinger.
All Android version 2.3.3 ROMs such as older versions of CM7 including RC1, RC2, RC3, CM 7.0.1~7.0.3 should use version 2.5.2!
[ FINAL VERSION ]
[ CFS-Smartass ] (Mainline)
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 CFS Low Voltage #162 <==
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 CFS Stock Voltage #163 <==
[ BFS-Interactive ] (Enthusiast Edition)
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 BFS Low Voltage #164 <==
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 BFS Stock Voltage #165 <==
Low Voltage - Under Volt the processor, therefore uses Less Battery, but NOT ALL CHIPS can handle Under Volt.. If you experience instability, try the Stock Voltage Version.
Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.
There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the 2 versions!
[Optional CFS kernel ONLY]
If this is first time you FLASH my kernel or you just recently FLASHED any ROM,
To use my CFS-Tweaks from version xxx, you must FLASH xxx first, then FLASH the latest version.
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...
NEWS BULLETIN:
Version 2.6.6 is OUT!!!!
This is most likely the FINAL VERSION for this kernel. CM7 is moving to a real 2.6.35+ kernel from very soon. Once that happens, this 2.6.32 kernel will be made obsolete!!!
Please don't hesitate to talk among yourselves and help each other out... The MT4G/XDA community is what inspired me to hack kernels for everyone since everyone here is nice and helpful to each other... Keep helping each other.... Famous proverb: It's better to give than to receive...
BUGS:
[ Android 2.3.4 ROM ]
If you experienced WiFi issue, it means the bcm4329.ko modules was NOT installed properly.
Extract the bcm4329.ko from the same zip file, then
[ with ADB ]
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
[ with Root Exploror ]
1. touch Mount R/W
2. copy bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules
3. long press on the bcm4329.ko and select Permissions then check read, write for owner, read for group and read for others, click ok
4. long press again on the bcm4329.ko and select Change Owner, then pick 0-root for owner and pick 0-root for group, click ok
I will investigate to see if I can fix the updater script so this would be done automatically with 2.3.4 ROMs
Not All CHIPS ARE CREATED EQUAL
[NOT REALLY A BUG, when OC'ed, everything is questionable]
Interactive and OnDemand Governors will freeze the phone when the delta / difference between the Max and Min frequency is too large..
Ie, Max 1843MHz~Min 245MHz -- will lock up, but Max 1840MHz and Min 1000MHz will NOT...
TO DO:
version 2.x.x -- Haven't thought about it yet...

I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in its entirety, I kindly ask you to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you

Hi XDA members and fellow MT4G users:
This is my Fifth kernel hack. I want to thank Cyanogen, Zinx, Erasmux, and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON HTC Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH HTC Gingerbread Sense Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
MinMax Governor (Battery Saver)
This governor will try to minimize the frequency jumps/changes which cause voltage spikes/changes which supposedly drains more battery life... Supposedly designed to work with SetCPU... so give it a whirl...
SmartAss Governor (Balanced)
This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Interactive Governor (Performance)
This governor is designed to put more priority to User Interface (UI aka Apps) tasks, therefore appears more responsive then the traditional OnDemand governor. So if you want the smoothest UI interaction, this governor is for you...

Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.
There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the 2 versions!
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...
NEWS BULLETIN:
Version 1.0.7 is OUT!!!!
Updated to allow Max overclock to 2.03 GHz... REMEMBER NOT EVERYONE can OC to 2.03 just keep in mind. My own phone can run @ 1.94 Stable but will experience random freeze @ 2.03. I enabled it just in case some of you have even better chip than mine.
Speaker Volume Boost, Headset Volume Boost and Bluetooth Volume Boost.
Please don't hesitate to talk among yourselves and help each other out... The MT4G/XDA community is what inspired me to hack kernels for everyone since everyone here is nice and helpful to each other... Keep helping each other.... Famous proverb: It's better to give than to receive...
BUGS:
[ Android 2.3.4 ROM ]
If you experienced WiFi issue, it means the bcm4329.ko modules was NOT installed properly.
Extract the bcm4329.ko from the same zip file, then
[ with ADB ]
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
[ with Root Exploror ]
1. touch Mount R/W
2. copy bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules
3. long press on the bcm4329.ko and select Permissions then check read, write for owner, read for group and read for others, click ok
4. long press again on the bcm4329.ko and select Change Owner, then pick 0-root for owner and pick 0-root for group, click ok
I will investigate to see if I can fix the updater script so this would be done automatically with 2.3.4 ROMs
Not All CHIPS ARE CREATED EQUAL
[NOT REALLY A BUG, when OC'ed, everything is questionable]
Interactive and OnDemand Governors will freeze the phone when the delta / difference between the Max and Min frequency is too large..
Ie, Max 1843MHz~Min 245MHz -- will lock up, but Max 1840MHz and Min 1000MHz will NOT...
TO DO:
version 0.x.x -- Haven't thought about it yet...

Are you gonna update your rom or no?? Because you know me miss you...lol
Omg, Jesus Christ you can totally tell the difference with this on CM7. Feels WAYY SMOOTHER and more fluid. FAST!
No wonder I'm having so many sluggishness/lag problems... I wasn't aware the kernel changed with nightly #91.
Apparently everything works with the old kernel, it just runs like poo and is draining the crap out of my battery.
Going to update this now.
Yesss....do your thing Faux!!
Thanks Faux. Much appreciated.

Version 0.0.4 is out. Reverted back to my older (and better) version of smartass Added even more optimizations for ARM/NEON chip such as the one for Glacier. Enjoy!
Damn Faux ur really busy. This looks pretty sweet. I'm going to flash this on my sisters phone and will post results.
On a side note. I also use your LG-P999 AOSP 2.3.4 rom, Beautiful!! I was wondering. Do you think the Tegra 2/A9 can be pushed to 1.8-2.0GHz+. I know we are awhile away from that just wanted your thoughts

Thanks for all your work on these kernels.
The wifi on the new kernel is scary good. Doesn't fluctuate at all like the others did.
That being said, tried this on miui and it was great!!! Except the camera didn't work any fix for that? Would LOVE to use this on miui rom.

So if I am coming from ck's kernel can I just download and flash the CFS-stock voltage? I'm a little unsure because of the 'optional CFS kernel' instructions...

Why this GB Kernel for our old I9000 device ?
Answer: I still use this old device and i developed a new DMORE 3.6 ROM (link);
So I take some time for build this kernel and now i finally condivided with you; After a year with Cyanogen Jellybean, I turned back with GB: I re-love the amoled bright screen, the stock Samnsung Camera performances, but above all , the low battery drain !!!
Of course, Performances are not equal to a Galaxy S2 or a younger devices but for all people that do not have the possibility to change phone, this my work could help them !!
I merged Stratosk, Hardcore, Mialwe git's repositories and the last official Samsung GB Kernel release (GB_Update3) for all roms based on stock JW5/6/7/8/9/B firmware;
I continued thier hard work with my little knowledge and skill and now i condivided it with you.
NOTE: This Dmore Galaxy S-i9000 kernel can used as base with your ROMs if you like.
I personally tested it with different devices using also other kernels;
OVERVIEW – DMORE.Kernel#rev03 GingerBread GT-I9000 Galaxy S Device
- Based on latest GB Samsung base kernel (GT-I9000_Opensource_GB_Update3)
- compatible with all Samsung GT-I9000 GB ROMS (JW5/6/7/8/9/B based firmware)
- support for RFS and EXT4 partitions
- autoROOT, init.d support, su binary
- OverClock using script with recovery (1000MHz default – range 1300/1200/1.128/1000 Mhz)
- User Voltage control for CPU and Core
- backlightnotification (use*BLN Control), VoodooSound10 (use*VoodooControl)
- some tweaks, Useless debugging removed.
- for ADB users: adb shell remount
- All stock features are supported
- Tweaked ramdisk: optimized mount options & VM settings
- Compiled with last Linaro gcc 4.7.4 toolchain optimized by Christopher83, flags opt (-O3)
- I/O scheduler SIO / BFQ / Deadline / NOOP (default*SIO)
- Read ahead tweaks (512Kb cache)
- CPU governor tweaks:Governors – SmartassV2 (default), Ondemand, Smoove
- Kernel compression mode GZIP
- ARM RWSEM optimization*
- Added optimized CRC32,AES,SHA1 algorithms*
- CWM v5.0.2.7 Semaphore Recovery
- 364 MB - 367 MB available RAM (download Dmore.Kernel-revxx-BM version for 367 Mb)
- Reworked cpufreq driver. cpu states 100-200-400-800-1000/1128/1200/1300.
- automatic cleaning of old "su" binary and busybox (if you coming from Semaphore or Chainfire)
- busybox 1.20.2r2 linusyang
- hardcore gamma and RGB profile
DEFAULTS
CPU 1000Ghz by default, SmartassV2, SIO 512Kb .
For change IO Scheduler, Cpu Gevernor and for manage OC/UV use System Tuner app from PlayStore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&hl=en
INSTALL
(Dmore-Kernel-RevXX-CWM.zip for installation with ClockWorkMode or DMore-Kernel-RevXX.zip Odin/Heimdall)
Flash from recovery using CWM files or flash extracted zImage using*Heimdall*or flash downloaded TAR archive with Odin*
For change Cpu Freqency clock simply install DMore-Kernel-CPUXXXX.zip (XXXX = 1000,1128,1200,1300)
Personally i use 1200MHZ like Freq CPU
Tips & Tricks:
If you want change the Cpu Frequency manually, you can also using Adb shell commands instead DMore-Kernel-CPUXXXX.zip CWM file.
Simply type this commands on a DOS/Linux terminal shell
adb shell
su
mount –o remount, rw /system
echo 0 > /system/dmore-cpufreq.conf #cpu= 1000Mhz
reboot
(for clocks CPU 1128,1200,1300 use echo 1, echo 2, echo 3
echo 1 > /system/dmore-cpufreq.conf #cpu= 1128Mhz
echo 2 > /system/dmore-cpufreq.conf #cpu= 1200Mhz
echo 3 > /system/dmore-cpufreq.conf #cpu= 1300Mhz )

Amazing, an updated GB kernel has been needed for so long. Can't wait to try new rom. Well done

A captivate version, pls
Welcome back David, I've used your old DMORE GB ROMs & they were really good! It is amazing that there are still devs out there which believe in good old GB for a good old phone!
Thank you & cheers!
Thank fron kernel friend
Well done David! :laugh:
Waiting for Your new Rom.
Cool , a new GB Kernel.
A few weeks ago, me and Fishears was having this discussion about how nice it would be to have a new updated GB kernel.
You just provided a solution.
This kernel is based on JWB kernel source right ?
Also , if you have the source on github, I would like to tweak some governors for the best performance, I used this setup when running GB.

Yes kernel is based JW9-JWB kernel source; In this moment i'm uploading git repository;
Link here: https://github.com/dmore70/kernel-GB-I9000
I'm working for a new cpu-freq.c module where there are 5 different frequencies level (100-200-400-800-1000-1200MHZ) coming from CM10.1 github repository. Dmore-kernel rev03 use 4 different levels (stratosk kernel) , so it uses a higher battery drain; Actually I have a problem with /sys/devices/system/cpu/ directory governor interface , but i hope to solve it in the next days.

I can be your tester
nice, I'm using Saurom right now, so this kernel will fit perfectly
How do I flash this with Odin? I don't see any .tar files in the download page
MIUI
I wish you could make a MIUI Gingerbread version or even better teach me how to do it my self
Could you made another version of your kernel with bigmem like in semaphore? (384.5MB - breaks 720p video recording, front camera pictures) I used to use this, when I was on GB.

Added DMore.Kernel-rev03-BM.tar or CWM file
Here's Bigman(377MB - breaks 720p)
Here's more 3MB (364+3 = 367MB) - 720p video recording works
For 384 Mb i 'm searching on web the mach-aries.c good module
Ok... I've flashed this - DMore-Kernel-rev03-BM.tar - after reverting to stock rom from CM11 and now I am stuck in a bootloop... Any ideas?
LE: I reverted back to stock with Odin following this guide:
Step 1: Start Odin
Step 2:
a. Select PIT file as 's1_odin_20100513.pit'?
b. Select PDA file as 'PDA_DXJV9_Deodexed_Zipaligned.tar'?
c. Select PHONE file as 'PHONE_DXJV9.tar'?
d. Select CSC file as 'CSC_OLBJV9.tar'?
Step 3: Under Options: Check Re-partition, Check Auto Reboot and Check F. Reset Time
Step 4: Start the phone in the download mode
Step 5: Once ID:COM/phone is 'Added!!' click Start
Step 6: You will see a lot of red text after the flash is done, don't panic, just do a 'wipe data/factory reset' and reboot the device when done.
Step 7: Let the device boot all the way then turn it off.
Step 8: Re-enter Download Mode and re-flash only the CSC file [Step 2 d] without pit and without re-partition.
I had the files on my computer from previous revert. If anyone has the same issue and has trouble downloading all the files, just let me know.
Now, being back on stock I really want to try your KERNEL. Should I make sure of any steps before attempting to flash it with Odin as PDA? Thanks!
