Just rooted my Kindle and I was wondering what rom I should flash. Any help?
what are you looking for in a rom?
I'm just looking to make the Kindle into a full tablet.
I was thinking about CM 7 but I was wondering if there were any better ones.
this is my favorite very stable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773

this is how you flash it:
place the wipeall zip on your sdcard but dont put it in a folder along with the gingerbread gapps in the thread do not unzip them leave them in zip form. in recovery wipe factory reset,cache,dalvik and system flash rom flash gapps reboot enjoy

Thanks man,I was thinking about this or ICS but I saw that netflix didn't run well on it so..... yeah thanks
netflix works fine but there are more pressing issues with ics battery life how it charges things like that this is the ics I presently run I have tried them all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682567
Take a look at gedeROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550), very stable, working Netflix, youtube, etc. Battery life leaves a bit to be desired, but with the custom kernel and SetCPU underclocking is a breeze, keeps the battery life up. I would recommend hash's JB ROM, but it's the first build and requires a bit of workaround to get Wifi up and reroot the device using ADB or TE. Keep an eye on it though, I think it's going to be a great ROM soon.
I've got a Virgin Mobile Samsung S II.
I followed this guide to root my phone on my macbook. Following it exactly gave me this error message in terminal: ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
After thorough reading of the old root guide thread, I thought it was a case sensitivity issue since I was using a newer version of Heimdall. In terminal, I entered: heimdall flash --KERNEL zImage to start the process rather than all lowercase "kernel."
Now my phone won't boot beyond the startup screen that says "Samsung GALAXY S II" with a yellow error triangle. Can anyone please help? I know very little about these things, so the simpler the answers, the better -- any and all would be greatly appreciated.
If it's helpful, here is what the terminal screen displayed:

I can boot to ClockWork Mod Recovery. Which I believe means that something took, because that's not something that would be on the phone otherwise, right? I tried using it to wipe the cache and dalavik cache, but it didn't work.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can I flash a ROM? If I can only load the download and CWM screens, is there still a way to get a ROM onto the phone to flash it?
Thanks for the reply!
@monsieurblue .. might be that kernel you flashed isn't compatible with the rom you're running. Try a different kernel that you now is compatible.

OK. Maybe the problem is that I'm not running a ROM right now? I was on the stock 4.1 that came on the phone when I bought it before this process. Now that I'm done this kernel thing, do I need to flash a ROM before the phone will boot up?
I can mount the phone with CWM to add/remove files from my computer. Can I add a .zip of a rom to install that way?

Because you now have a custom recovery ( I think ) you can use adb or something to get a rom on the phone.. I'm not sure as I've never looked into it, but I will.. hang tight. Also I think you can use heimdall to flash a rom.. right.

Yep.. that's what I thought.. just make sure you flash the rom correctly. A lot of the roms require you to flash from el26 or el29 direct boot kernel's. Since you can't boot, el29 is out. But you can put the rom of choice and gapps and el26 kernel on sdcard. Then wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then flash el26.after the flash go to advanced and pick reboot recovery. This will boot you back to recovery but the el26 recovery. Then flash rom.. then flash gapps.. you might want to wipe data, cache, dalvik again to be sure. You can also go to mount and format system.. only system... this will ensure a super clean flash..

This is incredibly helpful; thank you so much.
I'm sorry for the ignorance, but can you explain to me what el26 is, and what ROM I should flash? When I started this process, I wanted to install this one, but there are warnings saying not to install on a Jelly Bean Modem and I don't know what else to use or how to install on a different modem.
And just to make sure I understand, when you say "flash" el26, that means it's a .zip that will be on my sdcard, which I install by using the "install zip from sdcard" option on CWM, right?
Thanks again!

Ok.. I can't find a zip file for el26 or el29..you can go about this by getting one of these recoveries. They are in rwilco's repo..el26 is at the top of the page.. don't get a stock one.. lol. As it will have stock recovery. Get the. Tar version of the file and use heimdall to flash it and then proceed with flashing rom, gapps.. but I don't know how heimdall works, I'm a windows man. Or you could flash a rom with heimdall.. Or yet another way is to try to flash the rom from that recovery you have.. I'm not sure about it.. if I was you I would download the tar el26 kernel and a JB rom based on touchwiz from Android development thread and the gapps.. put the rom and gapps on sdcard. Then figure out a way to flash the tar el26 with heimdall..
Yes.. flash means install... and the modem thing is because CM/AOSP/AOKP roms need an ICS modem to get data working. That why I suggested the JB touchwiz rom.. it will work with the modem you have. I'm assuming it's gb27modem(jb modem)..

Cool! So I download the el26 .zip and put that onto my sdcard, then flashed it. Now, what ROM and Gapps should I put on there as well before following the rest of your plan and booting the whole thing up? My intention was to install something with Jelly Bean 4.2.2, but now that I'm all turned around, I'm not sure what the best ROM for that is.
@monsieurblue ..
After you have the kernel on you sdcard(not in a folder). And you have the rom/gapps you want.... wipe cache and dalvik cache(under advanced). Then click install from sdcard. Pick install from internel.. just thought you might have been able to put it on ext.sdcard.Anyway,go to el26 zip file and install. After install is done. Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery and phone will boot to the el26 recovery(you might have to push volume up.. volume down.. volume up) to get you're power button to work as the select button. It's like that on el29..
Now wipe data, cache, dalvik.. then flash rom. After it's done flash the gapps the rom op thread suggested. If all goes well after this.. you can reboot..
I think this will get ya home.. Let me know.

Ha, it's no problem! I'm just glad for the help. I think I've got the hang of what to do once I've got the ROM/Gapps picked out, I just don't know which one to pick out. Which do you mean when you say the ones OP thread suggested? The "Liquid Smooth" one I linked to in my thread starter is what I want, but since I haven't changed my modem, I think it will harm the phone (it says in the instructions not to install on a Jelly Bean modem, which is what I believe I have right now).
Just saw your recommendation for project X and paradoX -- I'll check them out now, thanks!
If you dead set on 4.2.2...I love slimbean4.2...4.3 has no 4g. Also you will need slimgapps for slimbean as it boots at 182 dpi for the screen size. You can also use the lz kernel in the slimbean thread.. But I would stick to touchwiz until you get you're feet wet,, lol..Because flashing slim or other cm/aosp/aokp roms will require the ICS modem flash and then a temp boot flash to update you prl and profile.. You can boot a tw rom tonight then tomorrow get mobile Odin and flash an ICS modem(FL24 is the newest)then update prl and profile. After this you could use el29 direct boot kernel to flash any cm/aosp/aokp rom you want.. and have data.. wheww.. lol. Let me know if you need a guide for mobile Odin. I wrote a little one up here in q and a.. awhile back.

That's cool.. flash it tomorrow. After we get ya back up.. and about the op.. sometimes rom Devs will suggest you flash a certain gapps pkg.
FYI.. it won't hurt you're phone.. you just won't have data.. also you know you will have to change you're APN settings to get mms working.. unless you're on sprint.. I'm a boost boy.
You could flash the one you want. Then get an ICS modem and flash it in recovery.. wipe cache/dalvik..flash modem.. reboot. But you're signal might be buggy without the prl update.. and you can't update prl's from cm/aosp/aokp roms.. as of yet..

[/COLOR @monsieurblue ..I just thought of this.. I've read where sometimes you have to flash an ICS one-click first.. if you're going from JB to AOSP roms.. or it won't boot past splash screen.. I haven't had this issue.. but it's out there.. just a heads up.

This is incredible, it worked! Thank you so much!
My concern now is getting to a ROM that I like -- this Project X one is good as a temporary measure, but I really want something that's 4.2.2 and highly customizable (and, most importantly, able to be installed from a mac).
@Gil81
Last question, I promise! To install Slimbean 4.2, which you recommended, it looks like I can follow this guide. Only problem is the Odin One-Click ICS Root: I can't follow those instructions because they're exclusive to Windows and I'm on a Mac. Any idea on how to install Slimbean 4.2 onto my device from where I am now? And do I need to change the modem, like you mentioned earlier?

alright...youre back up...good job man...:good:
ALWAYS...I MEAN...ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTALL DIRECTIONS IN THE ROM'S THREAD...:fingers-crossed:..
That being said..now that youre up and running follow the guide i linked to in the above post...its a mobile odin guide for flashing roms on our phone..it will work will almost all roms. it is how i have flashed every rom but a couple one-clicks..
BUT BEFORE YOU GO TO THAT LINK....download fl24 or another ics modem and flash it in recovery on the rom you have now..after the flash and you reboot back to the rom..update the prl and profile. just remember after you do this you wont have data....but it is the right modem for slimbean or the rom you really wanted..FYI..the mobile odin guide will work for that rom you first wanted...just follow the links in it and the directions to the letter...it is a proven way to flash...
Dont worry about the ics one-click...i never have any problems..if you do. you can always go back and just completely wipe youre phone and sdcard. then use heimdall to flash the rom.. the one click just clean slates youre phone and changes the partitions...i believe heimdall would do the same if you where to use it to flash..but i think youll be fine..
@Gil81
Awesome, I'm going to follow this exactly later tonight! Thanks again for all of the help!
In the guide you linked to, you say:
First...you will need to get all the needed files( ROM, Gapps( for the rom you pick ),EL29 direct boot kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1662295 ..this is the link to rwilcos repo..scroll down to gb-touch wiz based kernels. Then look for EL 29 direct boot/tar.. You will need the tar.md5 format. Place this tar and the ROM and Gapps on the root of you're internal sdcard( not in a folder ).

when you follow thw link...it will take you to rwilco's repo.. Scroll down the page (almost to the bottom of the kernel listings)and you will see a link for the el29 direct boot kernel..get the tar version because you will be using mobile odin..The el29 direct boot kernel is a safe gingerbread kernel we use to flash roms(it will not boot up on the rom youre flashing)..
you see..we just use that kernel and recovery to flash...once you flash the rom it will install the kernel made to run with that rom. Our recovery is funny on this phone...it is part of the kernel,thats why we use that kernel to flash..it is safe and has a safe recovery..
I just prefer el29 direct boot ( instead of el26 ) because when you flash it with mobile odin it will boot straight to recovery for you...no pulling the battery and then putting it back in and holding power button and volume up to get to recovery..:laugh:..
remember to get the slim gapps for 4.2...and after you get slim bean booted up and let it settle in for a few hours...you can flash the lighning kernel for slimbean linked in the slimbean thread...to flash it you just boot to recovery...wipe cache and dalvik and install it..then reboot..:good:...it is really the only tweak i run with slimbean..great battery life..
if you need any help...dont hesitate to ask...thats what xda is all about...Good Luck.

I've hit a roadblock! I was following this list I made based on your instructions:
MODEM
1. Add FL24.zip to sdcard and flash in recovery.
2. Reboot.
3. Update the PRL and profile.
ROM
1. Place ROM, Gapps, and EL29 boot kernel on the sdcard.
2. Open mobile odin > kernel > internal sdcard > EL29 direct boot kernel > flash firmware > check md5 > flash
3. Once in recovery, push volume up, volume down, volume up (this will make the power button the enter button)
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Wipe dalvik cache
7. Mounts/storage > format system (only system)
8. Install from internal sdcard > ROM zip file
9. Install from internal sdcard > Gapps
10. Reboot
I finished step 2 on ROM, then the system restarted and the phone didn't boot past the "Samsung GALAXY SII" screen. When I hold the power and volume up buttons to get into recovery, it goes into a recovery screen that says "Android system recover <3e>" at the top. I have four options:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I wiped the data and cache based on your instructions, but there's no option to wipe the davlik cache, and when I go to "apply update from sdcard" it says: E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
Help!

That's because you got the el29 kernel...not the el29 direct boot kernel....you just flashed a stock kernel that will not boot with anything but a gingerbread rom...
i think i warned you about that...now you will need to heimdall a recovery back on to the phone...
So I wanna Know If anyone can help me with this issue I have.I know, from YouTube video's, that the hosts file isn't supposed to look like the screen shot I took.Does anyone know how to fix this? I think it's from The Adfree Apk, that I installed before I Factory reset My Samsung Galaxy S3.&that has me thinking because I reset it and its showing that in the hosts file.Help anyone? I dont want to reset my phone again
Copy one from stock rom. You need root to access it. Factory reset won't affect the hosts file as its on the /system partition.

Download a stock rom. Unzip and copy its hosts file over your current one.
Or have you tried reinstalling the app? I'd expect it would be able to restore the original...
Factory reset only wipes the data partition. Hosts is in the system partition so factory resetting will have no effect.

If all else fails you can reflash your rom, or flash stock firmware via odin.

Im sorry but can you give me a link to download The rom ? I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3
StockMod is a good one to use. Usually on page 1 of development section.

Unzip it, copy the hosts file from inside over the one on your device.

otherwise just search for next app sdfix in the playstore
hope that helps
tried this app earlier today to day no luck it tells me permissions is already fixed
maybe try getting yourself titanium backup? If you cant afford it try searching for lucky patcher apk and titanium backup apk. i think it would be able to do what you need, also why do you want to use omni rom? The b510 update is much more stable, nothing is broken,you can also change the default storage location(just my thoughts)(if you would like to try it use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/help/best-rom-battery-gaming-t2842238 note that the actual version is b510 not b512 also maybe try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389
will try the moded one tonight can i flash with twrp.
btw are in RSA :laugh: so am I.
Rom
I would advise you to use these mods they really help allot,( install them with twrp after you installed b510 or whicever b5x rom you chose and remember to clear cache)

(i also used omni till i discovered b510) to start the process of installing b5x
( you need to have b132 firmware already installed get it here
