question

well since i cant flash kernels but i can flash roms that comes with kernels is possible i can customize the kernel in the rom? i mean like flashing a rom and adding my own choice kernel?

Why can't you flash kernels? You do it in recovery the same way you flash a rom - with the exception of wiping data. You only need to wipe cache/dalvik.

i dont know whats wrong with my phone but all the kernels i tryed to flash it end up in a bootloop. i flash sense with sense and aosp with aosp kernels they all go into bootloop. trust me i even used amon ra recovery sometimes backing up with amon ra recovery and trying to restore sometimes it doesnt work. clockworkmod seem to be fine but cannot flash kernels.

Did u try the kernal manager in the market. It might help with getting a kernal to work

you dont know i try everything i even posted it on xda asking for help. i follow all there steps still same problem bootloops. i even had to factory reset twice because i was stuck in bootsceen. i used unrevoked to root but i was thinking maybe if i unrevoked it and using a differnt method to root. but i havent tryed it. so i donno if its phone or the program im using to root i donno whats the deal. i never flash any kernels because i was unable to pass the bootloop. the only way to get a custome kernel is flashing a rom that has a custom kernel.

It def doesnt have anything to do with unrevoked. What ROM are you running and what kernel are you trying to flash? Are you wiping cache and dalvik?

this rom im running right now (Rom)Ava-Froyo Z3 heres a link to direct you see.

How did you root? May just be something wrong with your phone.

i had the same problem a while back. couldnt flash anything at all tho. had to unroot and wipe completely, and go stock for a day or two. everything has been flawless since.

Changing Rome from virus gengersense

I flashed the kernel and Rom virus gingersense and was thinking about flashing a different Rom but was wondering if i make a backup before i flash do i still have to do all the steps i had to do to flash this Rom or will it automatically be done?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

You need to backup that rom in recovery [in case you want to go back to it.]
To flash new rom:
-after backing up the current rom, wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache
-flash rom in recovery
-if its a gingerbread rom, wipe cache and dalvik again, then flash the latest gapps.
-if you flash a custom kernel with it, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then flash kernel
-reboot

Thanks i was asking cause i wanted to try out the miui roms and if i don't like them i would like to go right back to genger sense wit the kernel without going thru all those steps again

No problem. Just follow my steps and it'll bring you back to the gingersense. [after flashing miui, and if you want to switch back, just restore the backup of gingersense]
I would recommend naming them with a file explorer/mounted to a pc, because if you have multiple ones, you'll forget. Just don't use spaces in the names of the actual backup, and do not name the folder the backups are in.

quick kernel question

i apologize for my noob question in advance.
i'm new to the whole flashing ROMs/kernels and what not scene. im interested in flashing the newest energy rom and i have seen a lot of people saying that the anthrax kernel is amazing with the energy rom. i know how to flash a ROM, I'm just not sure what to do about the kernel. so i was just wondering if somebody can give me a quick tutorial on how to flash anthrax's kernel with the energy rom.
again, i apologize for my noob question. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

You flash a kernel like a rom.
Wipe, Flash the rom, flash the kernel, reboot.
Should be good after that.
Make sure the kernel is for Sense if you are using sense or AOSP if you are using AOSP.
SetCPU will let you configure the kernel.

thanks for the quick response xnotta. i just want to make sure, i wipe everything, meaning dalvik, cache, and data, right??

On energy wipe ONLY dalvik cache mount data in recovery flash kernel unmount data reboot

If you are already running the rom(Energy) then you can just wipe Cache and Dalvik then flash the kernel(anthrax).
You only need to wipe everything if you are installing the rom(Energy) fresh.
Sorry for the confusion.

If you don't do it exactly how I stated your WiFi will break and you'll lose alot of apps ect
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

so let me get this straight because i am doing a clean install of the energy rom, i should wipe everything, flash rom, flash kernel, then reboot? i also read something about mounting/unmounting to prevent breaking wifi, do i need to worry about that?

A little ICS flashing help

A bit confused...
I'm on CM9 alpha 1 and want to get to alpha 2
The CM9 install page says to just use CWM5 to flash the ROM and I dont have to wipe anything...
But I see several things that seem to say flashing ICS stuff through CWM can brick the phone...
Some clarification please?

number 1 do not use rom manager!
number 2 it safe to flash using clockwork mod, upgrading ics roms. but to go back to gingerbread you need to use Odin.
at least that's what I understand. if I'm wrong someone please correct me

Ok, that's sort of what I was thinking but I think I'll wait for at least another person to confirm... since you didn't sound real sure of it.. but thanks for the input

im on calks rom and to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 i only deleted the cache and dalkiv (sp?) cache and installed the rom and worked great.

It's not safe to do any thing with a ics kernel .even wiping data cache etc can brick a phone ..... Always use A GB kernel to flash anything until we get source and they can fix it.... U can use mobile Odin to flash the el26 cwm kernel and then flash the rom without wiping data .... Make sure to flash rom twice and then flash gapps and you are good ....

AOSP roms are quite a bit different then TW roms . Also I don't recommend wiping on ICS unless you like shiny bricks

Are you saying dont wipe anything while you have an ICS ROM installed... or just don't try to wipe when you have the ICS recovery installed?.. Like if I have an ICS ROM installed and flash back to an EL29 kernel, I can wipe then right?

yes in theory with a gb based kernel you should be able to wipe but I personally recommend odin'ing a full gb from and kernel then using recovery. I also recommend using calk's wipe zips because they seem to be much safer than CWM wiping directly.

[Q] Flashing A Kernel

Hi everyone; forgive me for the N00B question - I have been having a great time with different ROMs on the SIII - I have never before flashed just the kernel and am interested in trying out ktoonsez kernel. I just want to make sure that, should something go wrong or I'm not happy and want to go back to the kernel I'm already using, can I just do a restore from CWM? Not entirely sure if restoring through CWM also restores the kernel that was installed at the time of the backup.
Thanks very much.

Yes you can do one of two things. Restore a nandroid from cwm or reinstall the ROM your on. If you restore a nandroid you will lose any apps installed or changes made to your phone. If you reflash the ROM your on wiping only dalvik cache/cache then the oy thing that will change is the kernel, you will get back the one that came with the ROM.

I just DoD this with my S3 for the first time and it was.fairly easy. I was updating to a new Rom and flashed it right afterwArds. One thing to remember when flashing the kernel is to
Clear the cache and Calvin and then fix the permissions.
What Rom are you using?
