Custom Kernel and Unrooted Stock - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello. I've tried to find this answer through searching but have had not much luck. I was wondering if its possible to use a custom kernel with an unrooted stock from. I would like to increase battery life but my company uses Good for Enterprise which cannot function on a rooted device. Any help here would be much appreciated.

As far as i know you have to root your phone to install a custom kernel. So you might want to look into getting an extended battery.

I believe that you could. You wouldn't be able to change any of the kernel setting tho unless maybe you could make flashable zips to change them.

A kernel comes way before any user installed app. You can indeed install a custom kernel without root, either by fastboot or cwm. Keep in mind you dont even need to flash cwm permanently, just temporarly to flash kernel zip.

Flash to stock ROM - OTA?

Hi Guys!
I have plan to buy Galaxy S3 in Tmo (in retail) and have a two questions. Is it safe to flash new phone from Tmo to stock android? I don't want to have any Tmo stuff and Tmo's andro version... Question two is, when I'll have stock android on Galaxy, Do I get an OTA when it'll appear? Or I will have to flash manually when new rom will appear?
Thanks for clarification!

Now someone correct me if im wrong as i still call myself a noob but i do have basic knowledge but you can always root your phone/odin a custom recovery and then flash a stock rom with all the bloat removed. You could always just remove bloat via titanium back up as well tobyour liking. Check out the development thread. Theres alot to read but theres very usefull info to get caught up on. Hope this helps. Oh and in regards to ota, im stock with root injection and im waiting for todays update to try the root keeper method.

For android builds, or AOSP, there are options. You won't get a pure stock AOSP unless you compile and build it yourself. Though Cyanogenmod and AOKP are modified builds of AOSP that have various mods and tweaks I have been using Cyanogenmod 9 and will switch to 10 once it releases.
You will not receive OTA updates as these are custom roms and updates need to be manually flashed
There is a lot of lingo to learn and lots of mistakes to learn from. You will become addicted to flashing updates and various roms very quickly

Thanks guys for quick response!
Every flash in Samsung which I'd like to do has to be done via Odin? Sorry for 'noob' questions but before SGS3 I had NexusOne - everything was simpler on it
Flashing doesn't void my warranty, right? AFAIK on Samsung we have something called "Flash counter" and if we'd like to use warranty, Flash counter should be "0", that's right?
After buy, Do I have unlock phone or something like that?
Thanks for patience! I appreciate it
dzordzyk
No, you would want to odin a stock injected rom or odin a recovery, boot into recovery and then flash the super user zip. I dont know anything about odins counter but the triangle away seems to be working well on our phones unless someone else knows otherwise.
Confirming that if your on the stock root injected rom, use rootkeeper, do a temp unroot and youll be able to get the ota installed. Mine just rebooted from installation. Working good and glad it was so easy. Abq nm here. Hope i helped.

so, this is a veeery good question that I've been wondering myself for quite some time...If you flash a stock rom via ODIN, and you are not rooted anymore, will you get that rom's OTA updates when available? Please, someone who's done this, reply with some precise anwser! Thank you very mutch :laugh:

+1 wondering if this is true
If you are running stock do you get OTA updates? Of course.
You will get ota updates if running stock ONLY! You can be rooted, but you must not have a custom bootloader. Otherwise it will not work.

[Q] Is overclocking possible on rooted stock?

I was wondering if the SGH-T999 was able to achieve overclocking - I looked around the forums and found no information about it, so I decided to ask...I know some ROMs have it, but I'd like to stay on insecure rom for the time being.
So the question is: Can I overclock my Galaxy III without flashing a custom rom, using only the insecure rom flashed by the QCom Toolkit? and If so, how?
Download set cpu and find out. Only custkm kernels can over clock and even those dont all the time.

I'm on Custom stock - I don't know the specific name for it, since I flashed it using the QCom Toolkit (the file is called "boot-insecure-tmo-t999uvalem-cwm")...but I know it works since it installed superuser.
That just gave you cwm recovery, root, and you are now able to flash custom ROMs and kernels. So the answer is no you will need to flash a kernel that is able to be over clocked and works with stock
This might work just read the forum

I flashed the Trinity Kernel, and am so far very pleased with it. Sure, it only goes up to 1.75 Ghz, but that's enough for now. Should I feel like going higher, then I might look into Adama, specially since the creator himself warns that it's a bit risky.

Rooting without custom recovery

I just want to change my kernel to Trinity to increase battery life and root my nexus because some apps requires root permission but don't want to change my stock jelly bean 4.2
Is it possible? If yes how?
Please reply
I am new to android and have never rooted my nexus nor unlocked my boot loader
I did tried to search xda forum but all the post have mentioned about rooting with custom recovery
I don't want custom recovery
please help

Follow this guide.
It will involve setting up fastboot and adb (won't take long at all). Then instead of flashing a custom recovery, you can boot into it, flash the superSU zip found in the second link and when you reboot you will be rooted, with stock recovery.

Thanks for the quick reply
Will that change my kernel to Trinity or can you suggest any good kernel for increasing battery life?
From what I have searched on threads Trinity seems to be the best when it comes to getting max screen on time
So can you provide any link of for changing the kernel to any battery saving kernel like Trinity and still be on stock jelly bean?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Mmm, flashing a custom kernel will require a custom recovery I'm afraid, there's no way around that.
You could however do the same thing as you will do to get root (fastboot boot, not flash a custom recovery) and then flash the kernel, but you would have to do that every time you update the kernel as well.
My recommendation is that if you want to flash custom kernels, flash the latest TWRP recovery (2.3.2.1 I think) and do it that way.
For any questions about Trinity, just ask in the thread, I check it often, but people will be happy to help you there, they're an awesome bunch.
Also I would highly recommend Trinity, I've used it a lot. At the moment though I am using stock, rooted 4.2 while the devs start playing around with the new source. Once it's more stable I am sure I'll be back on it though.

[TUTORIAL] How To Root the Sprint Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710)

I was recently asked to post some threads here on XDA with the tutorials I have on my site. As time permits I will be posting a series of threads here to the Q&A section that will hopefully answer most questions that might come up.
If you can't find your answer in one of my threads I would highly recommend BluesRulez One Stop FAQ Thread. It is an awesome resource and has answers to just about every question I've seen come up!
__________________
This thread details the process of how to root your device without having to flash a full stock ROM. This method works for the Sprint, Boost and Virgin Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710, SPH-D710BST and SPH-D710VMUB).
This method uses an Odin One-Click Kernel to install a kernel that includes a Custom Recovery. Once booted into the Custom Recovery you can then flash Superuser which will root your phone and give you Superuser access.
Prerequisites:
A PC running Windows with the Samsung Mobile Drivers Installed. The Samsung Mobile Drivers are available here.
Any One-Click Kernel (preferably from the Android version you will be using, i.e. GB, ICS or JB).
All Sprint One-Click Recovery kernels can be found here.
For this particular tutorial I used the following kernels:
Gingerbread: Chris41g's EL26 Stock CWM5 Repack
Ice Cream Sandwich: Agat63's tFI27 Stock Recovery Repack (rev 2)
Jelly Bean: Agat63's Source-Built GB27 Recovery​
Superuser (or SuperSU, MIUI Security, and etc) in a flashable zip, saved on your Internal or External SD Card.  For this method I used SuperSU v1.25 (but any SU in a flashable ZIP should work). You can download several different versions here.
Although not required it is recommended that you have Samsung Kies installed on your PC as well. You can download Samsung Kies here.
Side-Effects:
This method will trigger the Yellow Triangle upon start-up and will increase your Odin count.
It will also change your startup screen to look like the International GS2 startup screen.
Both of these side-effects are very easy to overcome due to the hard work of Chainfire and Garwynn. You can get TriangleAway from Chainfire's thread here.
For the rest of the tutorial please visit my site: www.rwilco12.com
Enjoy!

First..well 2nd to you!! Awesome work RW ..your time and dedication is GREATLY appreciated my friend!
Will any of these methods work with FL24? I'm new to rooting Samsungs and am used to simply rooting via exploits through ADB. I have the phone rooted (temp rooted?) via the exploit in Framaroot and am trying to get a custom recovery installed next to flash a ROM. Thanks!

The Kernel One-Click flashes the kernel and recovery together. They are combined on the E4GT.

You might have to turn SU on depending on which version you flashed. Open the app and see if under settings you see something like "Enable SuperUser" and make sure it's enabled.
If that doesn't fix it we may need to try another zip with a different set of symlinks. Either way, we're here for you and will get you squared away.

If you're asking - Can I flash VM builds on the Sprint D710, the answer is - yes. Did it when I tested the builds and everything worked properly.
If you're asking - Can I flash a VM build and be on VM service? Obviously you'll need to be activated to their service and provisioned properly. That's when you'd need to make sure that mmsc/apn/nv data is captured. I don't know if VM is a byod provider. (write that shiz down)

Yes. Many, many people have used this method successfully.
There's nothing wrong with a stock kernel, it just doesn't have a custom recovery packed into it or any kernel tweaks.
But I am confused... If you're already rooted why are you pulling your hair out?

Well mostly because I'm a noob lol. I heard also that if you do a factory reset with stock kernel you will brick it. But I want the extra options anyway. and really want to flash aJB ROM. Thank you very much for quick response, I shall give this a go in the morning.:thumbup:

K. Before you dive in too much further I would recommend doing a little more research. This device had had issues in the past that have made it very easy to brick. You should be very careful.
As a side note - This thread is a how to root thread but it sounds like you're already rooted. I don't know that there's any reason to reroot your device. You don't actually have to be rooted to get on JB either. You could just flash a one-click of a JB ROM.

[Q] just got my note 10.1 2014...

looking to root, install twrp, and flash cleanrom.
i saw a root method that says to use a stock recovery, and i also saw the i shouldn't wipe the cache using twrp... can anyone give me a proper procedure to get to where i need? i have two little kids that are keeping me from doing the proper research myself, otherwise i would.
i am on mk1 firmware btw...
thanks!
wow, no one?
I haven't done this yet as I am kinda hoping there'll be a non-warranty killing approach available soon. I am in much the same boat as you, kids and all, too.
But I think the way to do it is:
1. Root the device with cf auto root: http://honai-android.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/how-to-root-galaxy-note-101-2014.html / http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490805
2. Install TWRP via Odin
3. Install cleanROM via TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577389
I hope this at least gets you started. Let us know how you go as I will probably be following in your footsteps as soon as I can't stand this unrooted tablet any more... which will probably be very darn soon, warranty killing or not.
Or maybe someone else will chime in with better instructions.
Good luck!
+1 I'm about to send my warranty to hell. Stock ROM is ridiculously over bloated. The only thing i need is a working ROM with my "exotic" p605m variation.
I really need working radio / LTE.

TWRP is custom recovery so yes you have to flash it using Odin.
read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515656
After that you can download .zip file to storage and then install it using TWRP recovery.
