[REQ] Need help/someone to change the kernel image in existing ROM

mechadream · Nov 11, 2012

Hi,

I won't give you the long story so here's what happened:

- TouchscreenDigitizer & LCD broke
- Replaced both
- Got a different rev of the Digitizer, result: X-Axis is inverted
- Someone (darksawa) built a patch for this by editing the touchscreen driver but you need nvflash enabled to replace the kernel image the easy way
- Was on JB Stock without root/unlock until now so I'm not able to enable nvflash
- There is a way to get it done anyway: Get the edited kernel image into another rom and install it via TWRP
- Tried to extract the stock rom (unpack blob files etc..) and replaced the kernel image - then pack all together again but wasn't working (flashing procedure abrupted, no brick)

Could someone of you do me and some other guys a big favour by replacing the original kernel image of the stock rom WW-10.4.2.15 with this kernel image?

Thank you!!!

No I can't but I can go one better for you

I have converted it to a blob file and put it into an installable zip. Just flash this in twrp and your good to go.

This is for Jellybean.

Thank you very much for you help but I got the following problem:

I flashed the file via TWRP and now I'm stuck at the ASUS Boot-Logo with the tegra logo on the bottom right.

I tested the kernel myself before uploading it for you mate.. It worked fine. Everything was reversed for me when I booted back into the rom.

You could try doing a factory reset and a cache and dalvik wipe to see if that is your problem.

I was running hairybean 1.3 on jellybean when I tested it.

What rom are you running ?

I am on Stock. Installed Stock from Asus website, installed TWRP via fastboot and then flashed your file.

EDIT: factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe does not help, you suggest I install hairybean too?

After you flashed my zip did you see a blue progress bar go along after you restarted the prime. If you did then the kernel definately flashed.

You can also try holding down the power button and volume down button until you get to the place where there are 4 icons and then going over to the wipe data icon and selecting that. That should factory reset your machine.

If that doesn't work let me know.

Got that blue progress bar the first time after I flashed your file, then it went away and thats all.

Just did the wipe the way you told me, no change, still stuck @ splash screen. I think I have to install another complete rom to get over the splash screen again.

Well you're definitely not bricked so don't panic.

I think the next step would be to install a rom like you say. Try installing Hairybean 1.3 and follow all the steps in the original post. If you are still stuck after that I think the next step will be to run a full wipe script on your prime and then install a rom.

Try the rom first and let me know how you get on. We will get this sorted soon enough

Also before you install the rom, factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and system then install.

You need to be unlocked to install TWRP. Once installed you can flash the zip. Root is not required to install TWRP.

Stuck at the ASUS Boot-Logo. FW US

My problem started two month ago when the repair assistance sent me back my tf201 with reverse axis. I broke the glass and they this but the didn't do the reversed axis. They wasted my time and money. I realy need help.

I am on Stock US-10.4.2.15 unlocked bootloader with TWRP and I have same problem that "!mechadream" had. I'm stuck at the ASUS Boot-Logo.
Maybe I shouldn't flash this WW(I don't know if this make some difference honestly) but I had some hope that finally solve my problem and fix it.
Now I am stuck. What should I do now? I can I do? Can you help me please? Thank you for your help.
