I've just installed the Kernel first, then the ROM, and just to be sure I re-installed the kernel after the rom was installed and I rebooted (without booting in the ROM).

It's my 2nd attempt and now it's stuck at the SE text logo AGAIN.

Screw it, I give up :rolleyes:

Here is detailed process for both bootloaders

=> Things you need...

1. Download the Feralab 13.5 from http://hotfile.com/dl/152191000/10dc0f3/FeraLab_2.3.7_v13.5.zip.html

use IE or FIREFOX.....

2. Download the Kernel

DooMKernel for locked BL. - http://www.mediafire.com/?yvu93yb784k4o70

DooMKernel for Unlocked BL - Full OC - http://hotfile.com/dl/140881137/2ca86a3/X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-BootManager-v2.0.ftf.html

3. Rooted X10 and working Xrecovery
Medium OC -
http://hotfile.com/dl/140882840/37a957f/X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-1113-BootManager-v2.0.ftf.html

that's it you don't need anyother files...


=> How to?

1. Take Backup of your memory card to your PC (Both Bootloader)

2. Format the memory card (Both Bootloader)

3. Put necessary files in SD card- ROM (Both Bootloader) + Kernel (locked Bootloader) + contact backup files (Optional for both bootloaders) + Application backup files....

4. Backup of your current ROM (Both Bootloader)

Locked Bootloader skip step 5 and continue with step 6

5. Unlock Bootloaders Only

(Download latest flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/)
Flash the DooMKernel using latest flashtool

6. Flash feralab v 13.5 via xrecovery as said it will take 4 to 5 minute
follow the command on screen...(Both Bootloader)

UnLocked BL skip step 7 and continue with step 8

7. Once u finish flash the kernel via xrecovery(only for locked bootloader)

8. reboot your phone
wait for 5 minute....
play with your phone
don't install anything, not even connect to wifi... (Both Bootloader)

8. Reboot your phone ......
open smanager and install the script as directed by feralab
still don't install anything, not even connect to wifi... (Both Bootloader)
and reboot your phone...

9. Wait for 2 minute after 2nd reboot .....
now u can install anything and everything you want.....(Both Bootloader)

ROM will take around 1 day to get settle as of my experience
u will get good battery life and improvement on battery after 1 day...
(Both Bootloader)

Cheers....


this is the thing as of my experience of installing the feralab from very 1st version i never got any problem untill now while installing fera's ROM hope this will help you....

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Locked BL, I chose the medium overclock (1113 Mhz) version of the DoomKernel.

Good thing is that I can access xRecovery even if the ROM doesn't boot up (I've waited over 20 minutes for it to boot up but nada, it stays at the SE text logo screen)

for locked BL there is only one kernel not any medium OC or full OC for feralab so just download the one which is provided in the instruction.....

I think there is a few people having issues installing rom on locked BL phones, I would suggest to just unlock BL and use unlocked version, it's pretty easy and I think it's less problematic, if you are installing custom roms, kernels, and other stuff just unlock it and it will make your life easier...

LoL :D:D:D:D:D okay I dont think it was that easy but I remember I had to downgrade kernel then unlock it and then flash new kernel, but I have seen somebody was working on something, something like with an 'unlock' button? I definitely saw that somewhere?

If I had to unlock it again I couldnt remember it, I remember using 'plugin' feature in flashtool

Ok...lets start...
HOLY F****NG SH*T!!!!
I made it!!!!! :DD
Today i was'n sleeping even if i have exams... but i made ****ing crazy invention!)Ok.
v14 now will run on EXT4 file system,..yeah!:D finaly made it work...being dealing with it more than 3 hours ) I dont think it will work on locked bootloaders...i need one crazy tester who dont scare to brick his phone :D so... for those who dont know.. our phone is running yafffs2 file system by default...and ext4 is the latest **** which supports journaling so after i applied some tweaks for ext4 i got my I/O speed boooosted...yeah!))
Also.v14 has no more swap.. I implemented JIT v2 with Compcache. This stuff is much faster than swap and it dont consumes any physical memory..it actually compresses the used ram... so every 100 MB of used Ram will be easily compressed to ~76MB without any harm!!
Also. v14 will have fully working link2sd , fixed swiftkey, fb and i sholld test maps.
Also reduced rom size t 254 mb
tried to fix all issues...all libs are updated...rom is 2.3.9 now and shouldt be any issues with audio..
Also to free up data partition I moved some part of java sh*t to cache) (it will automatically free up and fill cache on usage) I got 62 F***ING FPS on boost script!!! Rom is rebuilt from 0 and heavily tweaked... i am testing it now and fixing small bugs..) Thanks. have fun!.

Next time asking for help please mention which kernel exactly you are using and which bootloader.
Seems that you're on locked bootloader.. So v13.5 is buggy for locked bootloaders. (but not v14)

    Hello everybody. v11 will be a bit delayed cuz i'm a bit busy and i have toi study and feeling a bit thick and also i want to fix all bugs and due to i'm still trying to import lockscreen music widget. but rom is already rocking. new beautifull effects and overall view.. trying to make it stable with all the things it have also doing some experiments with kernel and bttery. was reading linux wiki a bit).
    about the discussion of my rom.
    I don't f***ing care what you say about it.First and first of all I make this rom for myself..to make it loved by me firstly, because when you do something for yourself, you will do it much better then for anybody else... so after i make any version for me), i juxt share it with you.. share with my work... but of cours i don't make it completely for me. I'm reading every post and try to make this rom good for all (including me) using your suggestions and wishes..watching to your bugreports. and i want to thank you all for that.Of course after every release i'm being nervous reading every post refreshing the page and waiting for users reactions..if they like what i've done or not. and of cource i'm getting sad when see that someone is not satisfied or got wlods for ex... or simply can't install properly...and also i'm gettig happy and glad when i see happy people. i like to make people happy...not sad... and not only with making roms... in real life...just go and smile to the stranger outside and make him a bit happy. So I share my work with you not to make you sad. some peaple when flash rom..start to find firstly bugs..not it's advances..and they start to think that's buggy rom withiout continuing to try. I wanted to leave xda and i already left it...but for one day :D cuz i miss you guys and i miss my work..i like the thing i do and it gives me some kind of pleasure..and every work you do with love will be a good work.
    In v11 there will be superb sound improvement...f***ing cool design and animations. keep trying to port Pdroid and make charging led to off on full charge. also keep trying to port media plyer lockscreen widget...xperia s keyboard and mms bug fix(keep on trying to fix) and more and more tweaks and improvements. so please be patient..this release gonna be i thenk the best i ever released... so it will take time to test it and improve. hope you like it. thank you.

    wtf...

    If you're asking yourself or me...WTF maan? why your rom is paid... I will tell you here...
    If you say that paid rom is not a good idea and you always make or download rom for free..i will say that it is your business.. Also rom will be free for all in 3 days from release.
    v13.5 version of my rom was a realy hard work. I made some unique for stock roms things in this version and it was pretty hard to do but I succeed. So firstly please respect my efforts. The other reason is...that rom is extremily stable and fast...the perfect rom... I think you can remember my previous paid rom..it was also very cool.. and i dont make sh*t paid.. i make it paid only if it realy deserves it.
    The other and mostly main reason is that i'm poor..realy... i'm a simple student studying abroad alone ...4000 km far from my home and i can't work here somewhere in mc'donalds cuz they asking turkish passport which i don't have sure.. I extremily need money. I hoard it for my plane ticket which is very expensive.. (529 f****ng dollars) and it is very big miney for me..my family is not rich also...my mother is housewife and my father is simple carpenter..and we have 3 children(including me :)) and the only reason i could study abroad is my brain and efforts..otherwise..i couldnt study at all..
    So please respect my work..if you don't have money or can't donate just wait 3 days..not so much..

    Thank you very much...have fun.
