[Q] i777 Rooted with stock ATT OTA 4.0.4 compatible kernel with CWM Recovery

[BeenAndroidized]

Before I go into flashing kernel I have a question to ask. Which kernel that is compatible to the att 4.0.4? Just want to make sure before I flash it through Odin Mobile Lite.

Are you wanting a kernel to use in place of the stock one for everyday use? Or are you wanting a kernel with CWM to flash a new ROM?

With CWM to flash a new ROM that also compatible for stock one. If any.

Your best bet is the Siyah kernel.

You should be able to flash this zip in mobile Odin.

I just noticed you said lite. Lite won't flash the zip. You will need to unzip the zimage file first.

help please

I have an i777 that absolutely refuses to allow CWM. I have tried Siyah kernel on both GB and ICS stock roms, as well as AJK kernel on JB stock from. I am far from giving up but this has caused me so much headache and I've never bricked a phone as much as I've done this. Needless to say, I've learned a lot but I have yet to figure it out. If anyone could offer some advice or things to try I certainly would appreciate it.
I am currently running stock 4.0.3 with Siyah 4.3.3 kernel.

Assuming your phone is in fully working condition, then there is evidently something you are missing in your understanding of how the phone works. The SGH-I777 is different in that the recovery is built in to the kernel, and *not* installed separately in it's own partition. From reading the above, I'm wondering if your are trying to install a separate recovery, or if you art trying to install ClockworkMod from the play store by installing Rom Manager?

To help you get through this, I need to know exactly what you are doing that is not working for you, in a step by step explanation.

Thank you for your reply. I had feared this was a dead thread.
I am aware that custom recovery is embedded in the kernels themselves and not a standalone as I have encountered with my Hercules.
As for what I have tried. From manager from play store will flash 100% but never give me a complete notice which, I believe, is a successful download but not flash.
As far as kernels are concerned. I have used ones that are compatable with stock rooms. I've tried a couple that don't. All have failed to yield me with my desired result.

Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?

Thank you for your reply. I had feared this was a dead thread.

The phone is pretty old, and not many people hang out here any more. I still check in every once in a while. You would get more attention in any forum if you post a new thread with your question, rather than necro-ing an old thread.

I assume you meant to type "Rom" manager? Rom manager should not be used on the I777. For reference, see the very top sticky thread in the Q&A forum (this forum) [A] Rom Manager ******WARNING READ THIS BEFORE******

All custom kernels built for the I777 come with a recovery either based on CWM recovery or TWRP recovery. These kernels are usually compatible with the stock system which matches their version number. Once you install the custom kernel to replace the stock kernel, you will be able to enter recovery and it will be CWM (or TWRP in a few cases).

For Gingerbread, you can do this without rooting the device, since there is a Siyah kernel for Gingerbread that is available in tar format that can be flashed with Odin. To do this, flash the I777UCKH7 full distribution, which you can download from the Download Repository (see the link in my signature), then flash the tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash each one in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning. You will now be able to boot into recovery and you will have CWM recovery where you can flash many types of custom firmware.

Another route you could take is to flash the I777UCMD8 full distribution from the Download Repository, then use the Framaroot app with the Aragorn exploit to root the device, and then use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin lite to flash the AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel which is compatible with the stock system. If you need additional instructions on how to do that, just ask.

Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?
