yeah just flash with the procedure in the 1st post
Didn't try mobile odin, but should work too I guess yeah.

Hanging while trying to update

Try version 004b: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/katkernel/Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.95_004b.zip

 

[idmas]

Actuallay Beerkan is right, it hangs

 

[timduru]

Actuallay Beerkan is right, it hangs

Indeed, now that is puzzling, seems that the tar.md5 file is corrupted while it flashed fine as .tar on my phone.
I've regenerated a new one: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/katkernel/Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.95_004b.zip
Try version 004b

I've tested it after a download from the server just to make sure and it flashed fine.

 

[idmas]

KatKernel 3.4.95 - Galaxy K Zoom C115

​

So I flashed this to my K Zoom and all seems OK. I am grateful for you taking the trouble to develop for this device. I am no newbie but I hope you can give me an idea on what improvements I should expect from this updated kernel

better faster stronger scooter ?
more seriously, it's 2000+ commits merged from 3.4.39 to 3.4.95

errr, yeah, it's a bigger number too ! ;P
a bit difficult to summarize.
Here is the changelog if you are looking for something in particular:
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/katkernel/Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.95_004b.changelog.txt

O3 + Linaro should bring a bit more speed and responsiveness too, that also means better battery life.
In addition to that I've added the few new ioscheduler, bfq is default and governors.
a few parameters changed too.

will see where it goes from here
The Kzoom doesn't really seem to be a popular device though so far sadly.

Yay! Bigger numbers Seriously, thanks for the information though and it does help me a lot.

When you say the K Zoom doesn't seem to be popular, do you mean based on reviews or just inactivity here? I think because there is no dedicated forum to this phone it's difficult to gauge how people are finding the device. I for one love it and from reviews I have read they seem positive. I really can't fault it for the price.

I mean inactivity here, yep,
maybe it will take time and get better if/ when it gets its own forum...

 

[ashouhdy]

thanks so much for the root

about the kernel it has the radio drivers and so on ..right?

because my c115 is on another region Middle East (United arab Emartes) so the root kernel is for europe ?

am asking because in previous galaxy phones rooting with a kernel for another region made my device heat up and drain the battery more untill i flash the stock firmware again with the compatible kernel/region drivers


am i right ??

kernel : 3.4.39-1522600
built no.: kot49h.c115xxu1ane1

 

[ashouhdy]

OK .. i flashed it ... and everything is fine .. brilliant

just had to forget the wifi ap to work again .. many thanks
