In the next tutorial I am going to teach you the correct way to change kernel in our Samsung Galaxy S model GT-I9000 with rom cooked with Android 4.2.1 base.
The Kernel that we are going to use for this tutorial is the new Neon V 0.3 from elite which will also enable us the function of USB On-The-Go, OTG.
What is OTG or USB On-The-Go?
OTG is an extension of the norm USB 2.0 which allows USB devices to have more flexibility in managing the USB connection.
With this option, we can, for example, connect a pendrive via an adapter to our USB input / output of our Samsung Galaxy S, to use it as well as extraordinary storage and copy files in it or download some of its contents to us.
El OTG makes our device act like HostIn order to use various devices such as USB memory sticks, hard drives, USB modems, keyboards or even pointing devices such as our PC's mice.
Requirements to meet
Having a Samsung Galaxy S model GT-I9000 with flashed rom Android 4.2.1 in any of its available bases, Cyanogenmod, AOKP or AOSP.
Fully charged battery and USB debugging activated from the settings of the terminal to be flashed.
Required files
I suppose that in the Kernel itself is the script that allows us to change Kernel without using the kernel cleaner, but as it is not indicated in the original thread, I recommend downloading this file which is a Kernel cleaner to be completely sure that the Kernel is flashed correctly.
We will also logically need the elite Neon Kernel V 0.3 zip.
Once both files are downloaded, we will only have to copy them directly without decompressing in the internal memory of the Samsung Galaxy S and reboot in Recovery Mode to proceed with the kernel installation.
Kernel installation method
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Go Back
- Install zip from internal sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the Kernel cleaner and confirm the flashing.
- Go Back to the initial recovery screen
- Install zip from internal sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the Neon Kernel V0.3 and confirm its installation.
- Reboot system now.
