[Q] HELP! Problem flashing OC kernel

Hello,
I am running a permanently rooted G2 with the stock rom post the 11/03 update.
I'd like to keep my stock rom - but I want to flash a new over-clocking kernel in order to overclock the processor using SetCPU. When I attempted to flash the Pershoot Kernel for Froyo in ROM Manager, I ran into a boot loop after flashing, which I recovered from with clockworkmod.
Any advice as to how I can flash a working over-clocking kernel onto my stock rom? Did I do incorrectly use ROM Manager for flashing that kernel?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! You guys rock!
Thanks,

*Bump*
Anyone? Really could use some help here. I tried using coolbho3's temporary flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681), and it worked a few times, but now when I try and set it to 1420 Mhz, the phone freezes up.
He mentions that
If there's ever an OTA or if you flash a custom kernel, you'll need a recompiled version of the kernel module, and with different addresses. Any kernel dev can easily do this using the documentation below.

Please help! Thank you!

baconbits is probably the most popular overclocking kernel for stock roms.
give it a shot!

I'll try it out right now! Thanks for your help - also, I've read some of your help to others in other threads that has helped me - thanks for that too! haha
UPDATE:
Worked like a charm. No issues so far. Thanks for the help mate!

you bet just good lookin' out for my android bros.

Hey how's it going? I just perm rooted my g2 as well. I want to keep my stock rom like you and just over clock it. Thanks to your question and pmcqueen's answer I'll try baconbits's kernel too. What speeds are you getting? And any difference with battery life?
Thank you both!

rzm007,
I tried baconbits, but I ran into some flickering issues when I tried to turn off the screen - flickering issues so bad the screen wouldn't turn off.
So, I tried flashing Pershoot's latest kernel - and now I have no problems! And, I can overclock to 1.5 gHz. Awesome. The link to Pershoot's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847672.
I had boot looping problems when I tried to flash Pershoot's Kernel using ROM Manager. I flashed it manually in ClockworkMod Recovery.
Happy with it so far - and Pershoot is continually refreshing it. Cool stuff.
ALSO. I love Android. And XDA. Bought the XDA app today: good investment.

captainreynolds,
Appreciate the update on your status and link! I haven't had any issues yet with bacon bits. I'm using cpu tuner off the market as well.
Let me know if pershoot continues to work out for you. Good luck!
I'm thinking about flashing a rom that's as close to stock 2.3 as possible too. Need to do some more reading first.
(yup, I'm really lovin' xda and the android community)

Few questions

Hello all
I have just rooted my desire using unrevored3. I did a very short research (as I was l8 for work) and got few ROMs.
My question is about data and CM7 as well as one other.
On the ROM topics I could see that CM7 want me to download latest radio, do I need it? And one other ROM gave a kerneldownload link (either villan or oxygen cannot rember) and again do I need it?
I have a desire gsm in uk rooted with clookwork orange recovery (or however it was spelled).
I don't want to loose my data.
If I doubble posted, or it is all explained I'm sorry (again work), and you can remove or point me in a direction to check.
I'll do my best to catch up with research tonight, untill than thank you all for help.
Regards
Kirior

1. It could be that you need a newer radio. But I can't tell from here. If everything works there is no need to upgrade. Flashing a radio won't do anything with your rom, so you won't lose any data.
2. You should do a little more searching about what a kernel does. You can always try a different kernel but you don't have to. Some kernels have a lower batterie drain then others, but not every phone likes it.
Hope this helps a bit. Just search a little bit more about the subjects and then just try it Always make a nandroid so can you restore your rom just in case.

Hi
Thanks for your reply m8.
As I planned after work I did more reading and research and got my answers. Now I have a new question.
As I was looking through all the ROMs CM7 requires a special HBOOT and partition table.
I read about HBOOT a little, and general idea is better hardware support and improvements. Now will this brick my phone or is it secure to use? Will it work with any other ROMs or just this one? If I flash this and than letg say oxygen will it replace HBOOT or will it stay the same or maybe brick everything?
If someone could help me here I would be gratefull.
As well as all this I have just realized that when I am in recovery it says:
E: cannot load recovery/command
E: cannot find MISC
And 2 more simmilar lines (recovery/log and misc again)
When I try to do backup in recovery it comes back with an erros as well.
All help would be greatly appricated!

There are a lot of good AOSP roms. You just need to test it yourself. You can start with Gingervillain and then try a few others. There is an index thread where all the roms are sorted.

HI all
I have a quick question.
When i was scrolling through all the posts in few threads related to AOSP builds some people were saying something about Oxygen HBOOT for some builds and similar stuff so i was just wandering is i can use mine aplharev 1.8 HBOOT S-OFF for all flashing purposes without any fears of bricking or i need different HBOOTs for different ROMs, that is what confuse me :/.
Thanks you all in advance

HI all,
Now i have a question about kernels, which i should use to get the best from my battery??
Or maybe someone can explain me simply and clearly what are the differences between different kernels?
Thank you all in advance for any replies.

[Q] Flashing different kernels

I just came over from a HTC incredible s and I have to say this phone is amazing. The hardware is beautiful and I love the screen! The only thing is the lag that is noticable, not to mention the fluctuating battery life
So I'm thinking of unlocking the bootloader and rooting to get some of the sweet custom rom goodness onto my phone. But I was just wondering how the kernels and roms work. I.e. how can I find out which kernel posted in the development section is compatible with which rom? And if I want to put a custom kernel onto a different custom rom how do I go about doing that??
Cheers all

Just read the manuals. I always use the standard kernel that comes with the ROM.
When rooting, beware to execute every step otherwise your phone will be bricked.

You could just start off by trying a custom ROM to rid the lag. If you still want a custom kernel just read the threads and it'll say what its compatible with usually. Hope this helps, man. Btw, congrats on getting the Hox!

Please avoid using the term bricked. If you don't follow the steps then the ROM will not boot but that is far from being bricked.
The only sure fire way to end up bricked is by simulate battery pull wile updating Hboot with an ruu.

So the kernel dev will say what roms it is compatible with? I had a look at some and they didn't seem to be explicit as to which roms they're compatible with.
And can I clarify that the kernel is in the boot.img? So to flash kernel just fastboot flash boot xxxx.img?

Well for example- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993 This kernel states its for rooted stock and custom ROMs. This kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800603 is for AOSP ROMs for the time being. Those are just two examples but just read through and it'll state what kernels are for what. For installation just read the flashing instructions and all will be good, hope I helped!

[Q] Using htcdev kernel source code to recover htc one x tegra 3

G'day guys,
I should start by saying this is all pretty new to me, I've recently rooted my Tegra 3 Htc One X using Hasoon's All in One (many thanks) and flashed CM10. Rooting went smoothly, and with some persistence, a few noob mistakes and plenty of help from the threads and links from xda, I have CM10 running great (except for a wifi issue). However, I neglected to save a copy of stock and the only thing I can find online for my build number (2.17.980.4, CID Optus001) is a kernel source code from htcdev. Is there any way to use this to restore back to stock recovery? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also in the same boat, would like to return to stock on optus. before restoring from CM10 I think we need to flash the Optus kernal that we had before... although how knows how to find that kernal.

If there is no ruu file for your phone then you need a backup made in custome recovery of the original os. It also includes the kernel (boot.img file).
The kernel source from htcdev is of no use for your problem..

That wasn't what I was hoping for, Thanks anyway.

The only other thing you can do is take a "stock" custome rom with sense, that will give you a stock look and feel if you dont like cm10.
And dont forget the kernel of that rom..

You have to find (make a request) a nandroid backup of your stock rom. There is a thread with many nandroid backups of stock roms in the General forum ask there.
PS. sharing nandroid backups (or HTC Sense software in general) is considered against the consumer license.

[Q] Am I Running A Rom?

So I have been running through the forums for some advice on rooting, and installing rom for my phone. I ran into massive lag issues after following a sites recommendation to install crossbreeder. I reset phone to factory defaults because of this.
I would believe Im still running the custom rom, I did do a basic google check on my rom version but it did not help--
CWM installed- but also when logging into rom manager it staes TWRP as well--
Crossbreeder folder exist in /system as specified in tutorial
Kernal version is-
3.0.46- Titanium- V6
[email protected]
null
I did do a basic search for to find rom versions but just people asking, not a general way of telling, besides the one post indicating that rom dev will put their signature in the rom, which I think is seen in mine.
Just a reminder- I followed the tut for installing Crossbreeder ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150 is where I followed )
on the HTC One V-- Using CWM to initially install the rom- What My main goal of finding this out would be with crossbreeder attached, is it the same thing as say "icebox" or CM10? or any of these, if not, why?
PS: Sorry if this question is previously answered, even pointed into the right directions would strongly help- Thanks for the help in advance

Ok so install "kiss" kernel. Would I just install over the existing? So it's clear what I've installed is a kernel not a rom.

Yes it is a kernel. No need to do anything, just install over existing.

CrossBreeder isn't a Rom, it is only a mod to speedup the device, but it doesn't work on stock Rom

It does if you use TK kernel, I believe.
