I have the DRockstar one-click root and I use a Mac. I want to flash the Midnight V5 ROM, and when looking at what version of CWM I was running, I inadvertently updated it to 3.0.1.4. I tried unrooting and rerooting, but I cannot get it to revert back. The Midnight V5 ROM says to use 3.0.0.5/6. The other major problem that I have is that I am running stock DI18 with noobnl Andromeda Galaxy Kernel version 1.4.1 and I can't 3-button boot to CWM now, so I'm scared to flash any ROMs at the present time. I also can't do the new CWM3 root, because I'm not running Froyo. I think I've gotten myself into a pickle. Will Midnight V5 run on the newer version of CWM that I now have? If so, how can I safely flash the ROM, as I can't hard boot to CWM? Another option I considered is doing the Daemon deodexed EB13 flash, then doing the proper CWM3 root, then flashing Midnight V5, but I still come back to the fact I can't boot to CWM unless I use ROM Manager. I basically have a mess, in my mind, and I don't have a deep enough understanding of any of this to know what to do now. Yes, I am a n00b that really could use some good advice/help now. Thanks.

Don't Mac users use Heimdall like we use Odin? And just install the EB13 tar?

Thanks, but it looks like I would still need a windows machine to fix the bootloader.

Ok, I dusted off the wife's old XP laptop that barely works and had the balls to trust it to not brick my phone. I used ODIN and got the stock EB13 tar loaded and everything is working. Now, I want to do the CWM3 root, but the ghetto computer is so corrupted, it won't run the batch file. Is there a way I can execute this root on my Mac? I tried using the Linux run command from Terminal, but it starts to run and tells me my phone is not connected. This also happened when I tried to run the Noobl 2.5.5 oneclick root. The only root I can get to run on my Mac is the DRockstar oneclick.
So I've changed my stance on root and I've decided to go for it soon. I'm sorry if this question is redundant but there's a few root methods and even more kernels in the developer's forum now, and this will be my first ever foray into android rooting and flashing so I want the noob friendliest method possible.
My goal as indicated in the title is to end up with root, a clean stock kernel and the latest CWM. So what path would you guys suggest I take based on what the great devs have put together thus far? By the way, I have a good handle on Odin I think so I don't need flashing instructions, just the best path to take to the above based on the kernels available.
Thanks in advance.
I have found that stock kernels work best for me. I would suggest you try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296348 or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099. I am currently using the second one.

Thanks but the LOSt kernel isn't stock is it? Assuming it's not, I've decided to pass on it for now and go straight stock. So since chris41g's kernel doesn't root, would it be best to get root by flashing Zedomax's kernel first, then chris' or flash Superuser via CWM after flashing chris' kernel? I'm trying to find the method with the least potential for problems since this is my first go at it.
Thanks again.
I would flash the stock with cwm and then flash the superuser,zip in cwm.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
Well I had a change of plans and decided to go straight to chris41g's LoStKernel. Gonna run that for awhile and see if I can pull of my first LOS. If not, cool beans. If I do, I can always just flash a stock kernel via CWM now that I'm rooted.
Thanks for the advice guys!
I am using 2.2 and kernal version 2.6.32.17, build number 3.70, this phone is already rooted, but never had any ROMs installed.. how can I upgrade to 2.3.3 and then root that? I assume ill have to back up everything to my pc from my sd card? I hope someone can steer me the right way, and its not as complicated..
If you are rooted, choose a rom that you want that has 2.3.3 there are plenty out there, even the sprint lovers rom or even synergy if you want the new sense 3.0 features.
Download which you want put the zip on the root of your sd card.
Find caulkins wipe zip, which is in one of his threads, put that on the root of your sd card as well.
Load up recovery(can be done by vol down+power when powered off)
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash caulkins wipe zip.
Flash the rom you want.
Reboot.
When i tried to flash the caulkins wipe zip I got this error:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5
it was necessary to remove it when upgradeing to the clockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update- binary) to create working update zip package.
It rebooted. So then i wet in ROM Manager and tried to install the synergy room and i got an installation aborted error and my evo restarted and the stock rom came up as if brand new, all contacts/apps gone. Luckily i made a backup and was able to restore.. what could the problem be?

If you have S-off then you already rooted. Just flash a rooted stock ROM.
**CLICK HERE** and go to post #2. That has links to the latest rooted stock ROMs.
Don't forget the thanks button.
Op I think you should run decks aosp rom. The problem you are having with the amend script is because you're running clockwork mod recovery. Now you have 2 options. If you decide to go with the rom I would recommend, you should go in the link below and follow all of the instructions.
If you wanna flash what you were trying to flash before, go to the link below and somewhere in the first post you will find a link to amon ra recovery. Flash that recovery and then you can follow the instructions you were trying before

He could always downgrade to a previous version of clockwork.
Thanks for the replies everybody, what I did was install a new rooted stock rom and then I installed "Synergy RLS1 + GodMode", so far so good, but my question is how come I dont have HTC Sense 3.0? I checked in system info and it is HTC Sense 2.1.

That may not be a 3.0 version, some roms were sense 2.1 build with 3.0 features, like lock screen, ect.
Ah gotcha, no complaints, still nice compared to the 2.2 stock that shipped out with Sprint..

There are full 3.5 roms in the dev section, if you still wanted one.
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Rooted it withe hercules tar kernel on Android 2.3. When I upgraded to JB the kernel no longer worked (couldn't root). I tried flashing Cyangoen 10.0 and 9.0 but neither wokred (Waited 20 minutes and nothing). Is there a kernel I need to flash with ODIN?
Also, looking for a good place to learn abot kernels in genral.
Many thanks.

Kernel is causing the problem. Flash only kernel which is made for specific rom/android version. follow this if you want to flash via Odin. I recommend you to install CWM because its easy,safe and time saving.
Installed CWM Recovery, tried to flash Cyanogen 9...now it keeps rebooting back into CWM...can't access the Recovery menu. I downloaded the updated kernel. How do I get it flashed?
I was able to connect via ODIN. Can't get recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.tar to flash.
restart your computer log back in and use a different USB port and make sure you have all the DRIVERS for the phone plug it in flash the ODIN CWM file then you should flash an ICS ROM then flash JB to avoid any hiccups 2.3.4 is a big jump to JB might be giving you errors and you are rooted correct ?
Thank you. Yes I'm rooted an runnning smoothly with Juggernaut ROM for now. Want to change to Cyanogen 9.0. I'll flash the ODIN CWM file as you recommend. Where can I find a good ICS ROM and JB? Didn't know the jump from 2.3.4 to JB would be so big.
Many thanks.
what do you prefer the more stocky looking approach or you into AOKP/CM if you like stock then anything from PTMR and JAMISON904 are on point and very stable if you want some options and custom stuff look into the CM/AOKP around here in the development forums since you are rooted i would download a nice ICS you wont be on it long so doesnt matter lol and then finally jump ship to JB give it time for the battery to settle in becuase there was nothin like GB as far as the battery life goes this one guy who has amazing work and dedication http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener anything on there will do you justice when you get to the JB stage good luck and happy flashing!!
C13Kener DOES have some amazing stuff. Thanks. I see that he has a nice ICS stock ROM (Samsung-Stock-4.1.2-Tiberius-Kernel-1.1.zip). Can I just flash that from recovery or do I need to flash a new kernel via ODIN beforehand? Apprecaite your patience and help.

I think there is some confusion here. A ROM is not the same thing as a kernel.
I think thats where I'm having trouble. I have an older kernel (recovery-cwm-hercules.tar) and need to upgrade it before I can flash an ICS ROM. Don't know where to find kernels for the ROMS I want to flash. I thought some ROMs came with the kernel embedded in their zipfile, but finding thats not the case. ODIN is fairly easy to use, but I don't know where to find the right kernels for ROMs like Cyanogen.

Recovery is a tool used to flash ROMs and do backups.
TWRP and CWM are recoveries.
ROMs are the operating system of the phone. They come with a kernel. The kernel is what boots the phone into the OS. You can flash a different kernel if it matches the type of ROM you are on. I hope that clears up some of the confusion.
Hello everyone. I am new to the HTC One (m7wlv) but not new to htc or rooting/flashing etc. I am s-off and my bootloader is unlocked, and i am running the stock rom rooted and debloated. I want to get a custom kernel on here, but i cant seem to get any to stick. By that i mean i have tried several, and they all flash with no errors. But when i reboot, the kernel is still stock and unchanged. I have tried all three different recoveries, ive tried regular flashing and flashing with htc dumlock. What am i missing here? Can you not use a custom kernel with a stock rooted rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The rom is just the ota 2.10.605.1 that i rooted and debloated.
obone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539041, is the latest kernel ive tried. I tried a few others i found, but i cant remember which ones. Not to many kernels to choose from on sense 4.3. Any other kernels you know of that i could try?
Yes i was pretty active on the incredible. Unforrunatley it took a crap finally so i decided to go for the one. Thanks for replying.

You need an insecure Boot.img in your current rom, to allow it to be overwritten.
My Stock rom has an insecure Boot.img in it.
You could fastboot flash that Boot.Img and then flash the custom one.
You should be able to just fastboot flash the new kernel, if it is packed into a Boot.Img.(most custom kernels aren't)
If it's packed in Anykernel style, then you will have to repack it into a Boot.img from your rom, or do what I suggested above and then flash it.
Essentially you are on an unrooted, secure stock Boot.Img that will not allow for the kernel to be overwritten.
Chances are, that the modules did flash though and you probably ended up just breaking wifi...and maybe more.
How are you going about flashing a kernel?

Couldnt have said it better myself. tank you santod.
i would recommend backup up user data and flash Santod debloat stock 4.3 and everything should be good from there.
Thank you guys. Im off to try it out now.
Thanks again guys. I fastboot flashed the boot.img from your rom, and then the kernel and it worked. Time to tinker with some settings.
