@GeeckoDev

so what will be the next changes in kernel,
1. oc/uc - we need performance and battery
2. uv - need battery life
3. exfat - for big files
etc like your hellworld kernel.

i think we need a kernal like hellworldmake

What you should do is;

- Bear in mind that flashing a kernel and a Rom is totally seperate things. You can flash a kernel without a Rom and vice versa. The only problem would be booting problem.
-Any Rom will not work with any kernel (wait a minute. everyone knows that ). The trick is you can boot into recovery comes with the kernel even if you cannot boot into the Rom.
- Most of the time, Roms come with a compatible kernel and we change these kernels with a more preferrable ones. This is what we should do here as well.
-The only trick here is that we do not have a properly working recovery. (BTW, recovery and kernel are also not related to each other . But whatever, let's skip this part now.) Therefore, you should first flash a kernel containing a compatible and fully working recovery.
-There are couple of ways doing so. You can use Mobile Odin, HCkTool, Odin (PC), etc.
-To do this:
1. Flash the Lollipop Rom. A7,1. Let it boot and then settle.
2. Flash any other kernel onto existing Rom. AND DO NOT LET IT BOOT.
3. Boot into recovery.
4. Flash Raw Kernel 7 L.
5. Now Boot and rock'n roll

well I would say...
If you are on KK or anyother ROM or fully working recovery from where u can flash this ROM...
1. Flash ROM 7.1... flash gapps...flash Raw kernel r7.
2. Now Boot system and rock n roll

This is a shorter and easier guide only for those who are not on Bauner Lollipop Rom

What about TRIM support? (see @Lanchon work at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...kernel-trim-speed-cyanogenmod-galaxy-t2875730)

(today seems to be one of those ****ty days)
I've flashed the @GeeckoDev kernel by using MobileOdin, if I remember well, the defaut settings were
- inject Supersu
- inject MobileOdin
Some kind of error came out during flash (cannot open archive or similar)
Now it reboots but the CWM is still the alpha7.1 one
The problem is that it seems I have lost root, thus I cannot use MobileOdin again to flash a good CWM/zimage
Moreover Heimdall cannot talk with the device in Download mode, complaining about a "ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!" (I'm a Linux user)
(lsusb says "Bus 003 Device 007: ID 04e8:685d Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II] (Download mode)")

Suggestions to get root back to use MobileOdin again?

 

[abhiparab23]

I get the same error with latest heimdall on arch linux.
For me the trick is to klick on detect in the utilities tab before start flashing

you need an kernel with cwm 6.x to flash my rom. with cwm 5.x the installation will fail

I was in Alpha 5.1 and was unable to flash the zImage with MobileOdin.
I've flashed the zImage with Heimdall. Rebooted to recovery and installed Alpha 7.1, Gapps, and raw r7 kernel.

Changes from previous versions:
- Youtube works

NOT Working:
GPS
Recovery
Charging when switched off
Videos (record and playback)

Bauner, is it your phone (before the brick, sorry) overheated when running the alpha? Cause i have faced the heating issue even in light use. And also ALL the kk rom. Do you think its the rom or my phone. Do you have the same problem?

Mine was overheating (45 to 48 degrees easily) with KK when doing something in the phone (youtube, facebok, etc, with 3G)
Now, with alpha 5.1 and alpha 7.1 it's not overheating, however, from time to time i feel it a little bit laggy.
I'm not using SetCPU to set frequencies, it's the standard raw r7 settings.

I dont use a gui and didnt have any problems. You could try

heimdall flash --KERNEL path/to/recovery.img

do you check the forum before posting ? please do some research . at least read the posts of the man who made this forum . you'll have your answer . no offense . . .

 

[01000010]

At last fixed...
Odin + old chainfire recovery + @GeckoDev kernel + alpha 7.1 + triangle away


BTW, @GeckoDev's TWRP recovery rocks!

Sorry guys if it sounds a bit newbie but I was just wondering if we want to upgrade CM12 from alpha 5 to 7.1, do we have to full wipe or flash over it is fine just like CM11?

And also what is the best way to get the root? KingoRoot?

Cheers!

It is fine to dirty flash, and its pre-rooted.
