Flashing a Kernel

Yesterday I installed a ROM for the first time. Today I would like to try a different Kernel. How do I just install JUST the kernel ?

Kernels are flashed same way you flashed the ROM. Put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvix x2, and install from SD card.

will i have to install the rom also all over again ?

No. You wont have to reinstall the ROM.

perhaps this will be of help. this is for CM6, but the steps are the same for Sense ROMs.

Make sure that if u have a sense rom, u have a sense kernel.. if u ever get bootloops just reflash the rom and the kernel will be replaced

You wiped cache and dalvik, then flashed?

Yes, always end up in a bootloop
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Try this:
-boot into your rom, backup all your apps, home screen, ect
-boot into recovery, do a complete wipe, flash your rom, boot into the rom
-boot back into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, then flash kernel, reboot.
You're also flashing an aosp kernel for an aosp rom, and sense kernel on sense rom, not mixing them?

There's one time I manage to flash taimat sbc on sense the only problem it made graphic flickering so I restore back to stock kernel. The was it after that i can't even flash any kernel.

That's your problem right there. Tiamat is an AOSP kernel and you're flashing in on a SENSE rom; its not gona work. If you want to you use Tiamat, you need to be on an AOSP rom, like CM7, Evervol, Salvage Mod, ect. For Sense, try the netarchy kernels.

Netarchy tried that too same problem.

Did you try flashing the stock rooted zip after wiping cache/dalvik/data?

Ok let me try flashing a tom cm7 then I'm going try flashing a kernel

What recovery are you using? It sounds like something isn't getting properly wiped. When you flashed to a new rom, did you happen to try using Calkulin's Format all.zip? It certainly wouldn't hurt. Then get the new rom flashed and booted, then try wiping cache and dalvik cache again, then reflash your kernel. What kernel are you trying to use and on which rom? Perhaps the kernel has major undervolting and you're phone doesn't agree with it, which is not uncommon. There are options with netarchy kernels to use more, less, or no undervolting. With aosp kernels, there are some scripts you can use to change/alter the undervolting, to adjust it to where your phone is stable. So I guess that it's either because something isn't wiping properly, or because your phone doesn't like to be undervolted, or doesn't play nice with HAVS.

3.5???

Any 3.5 rom I run my apps always disappear anytime I reboot my phone. Any idea why??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well i don't know why that would happen a couple of questions
1 Did you wipe data factory reset before you flashed?
what recovery are you using ? clockworks does not wipe correctly Try using Amon RA! that wipes well
3 if you really want to use clockworks mod recovery then just download a super wipe like kings or viruses or calcks
Link to Kings Format all zip multiupload.com/42OXEA7YFY
No credit to me for anything thanks King for creating that format zip file amon ra and anyone else i mentioned in this post just to help a brotha out lol

Try to shut down the boot up or uncheck fastboot in settings. It's a known issue
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

never had that problem
I've never had the problem with apps disappearing.

I'm using amon recovery. And I'm doing full wipes. It only seems to do it with 3.5 roms. Lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well
Like Stated above go into the settings and turn off quick boot it should do the trick

maybe its something wrong with a2sd?

Turning off fastboot didn't help. Still did it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

ok what HW Version do you have find out by going to settings about phone hardware info....

Specifically which 3.5 Rom are you running?

My device is 003, and it does it on literally all the 3.5 roms available right now. Last night I tried shooters e3d rom and it did it, then I tried miks 3d and it still did it, so idk but it seems to be that sense 3.0 and up don't like my phone

When you say apps disappear, do you mean that the apk is missing from the filesystem or that they don't appear in the app drawer, or the Sense launcher? Is it all apps or just ones you installed from the market, or perhaps ones restored from a backup?

All market apps disappear. Even the market disappears
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Are you using a2sd or is it included with your rom? If so is your SD card partitioned properly?

I switched my memory card n problem solved

Dam, I really feel as though that is my next step I just didn't want to admit it.

Stock with a2sd?

Got an EVO for my wife, rooted it. She wants to keep it stock, but wants more space. Can I use a2sd on a stock root, or do I need to flash a stock rooted Rom that supports a2sd.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I would flash a stock rooted rom. I had trouble with getting root apps to work with the rom that I rooted myself. Then as you flash the rom flash the darktremor a2sd beta 4 and you should be good to go. Make sure to make a .5-1gb ext3 partition on her sdcard with amon-ra 2.3 recovery before flashing it tho
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

If your card is already partitioned you can use an app called 'link2sd' it works well on roms that don't have a2sd baked in and you don't need to flash anything. Its not for some people but its an option.

Can't flash certain roms

I have a strange problem. I like to flash roms... I always wipe everything 3 times between flashes. I currently run DigitalKarma seduction and the latest SOS rom with no problems. I used to run nitrous but lately I cannot get the nanroid to flash nor can I get a new flash to work... It just sits on the white Htc screen forever. It also does this on Decks Reloaded. Why can I flash certain roms while others wont even boot. I'm an using ramonra recovery ang im on hardware version 4. Any ideas?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

When I had nandroid problems, I just re-flashed recovery and it fixed them. Give it shot

Thanks for that but I did flash recovery again... Still nothing. Nitrous and decks reloaded just get stuck on boot and wont load. Frustrating...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Are you partitioned using ext 3?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Yes... ext 3. I can flash sos, digital karma seduction, supermagic but I still can't flash decks reloaded or nitrous rom...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I have the same issue just with different roms. I can't flash Infected roms, Derp3D, or the anthrax kernel no matter what I try. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
SD is partitioned with ext3, hboot 0.97.0000 s-off

Try upgrading your Hboot, also had the same issues at one time. Started useing Ra 3.11 (or smelkus 4.2) and havent had any flash issues since. As far as nandroids, sounds like data corruption.
Once you resolve your flash issues you may have to make new backups.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I've been using ra 3.11 for a long while now, still can't flash certain roms. What hboot should I be using? Currently on 0.97.

Cant really say what you should be. Useing, myself, Im useing HBOOT 6.16.1002 with RA 3.11, check at htcdev for more info about it. I was on HBOOT 1.5 (Ithink). Whan i got s-off it upgraded it to 6.16.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Found a solution... I used rom manager and flashed the clockwork recovery. I was then able to flash Decks and Nitrous. I dont know why that worked but it did. The only bummer is when I want to restore a nanroid from Amonra recovery I will need to flash back to Amonra, I believe.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yes that would be the case, but glad you found something that worked.

I can't seem to flash any roms that have anthrax kernel. Can't seem to flash the kernel by it self either? Any suggestions?

if your hboot is 0.76 ENG you have to upgrade your hboot for anthrax kernel

My hboot is 0.97 and I'm using ra 3.11.

The rom goes through the entire flash process up to the boot.img then flags error or hangs on the HTC Evo splash screen indefinitely. I've waited to over 30min before.

I flashed back to ra 2.3 and have had no problems flashing or restoring at least 4 different roms.
