Is flashing a kernel the same as flashing a rom? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Sup everyone. Merry xmas to a
i want to flash franco.Kernel-nightly5. is it the same method as flashing a custom rom? do i just place the zip on the phone and still in bootloader? or is do i have to do it on the computer? if so is it possible to do it on a mac?
thank you

You can do it in different ways. If you have a zip file you can use Recovery Mode (or programs like Kernel Flasher), if you have a .tar file you can use Odin.

The flash thru cwm is the easiest method. I haven't seen odin with the nexus. If it had odin things would be a lot easier when it comes to switching roms.

Does flashing the kernel wipe the device or does it need wiping after flashing a kernel

No, flashing a kernel won't wipe your device. I know there are scripts to clean the phone when you change kernel but I'm not sure.. because I've a Galaxy S2

THX, been wanting to take it to the next level but really didnt feel like redoing everything

I believe it is recommended to wipe your cache when you flash a new kernel also, as said above cwm is the easiest but you can flash in fastboot as well.

Also wipe dalvik cache. You can never be too safe!

well i just looked at the OC kernels and they need 4.0.3 but all those builds are buggy and experimental so i guess ill have to wait. i need a fully functional device

No? they aren't buggy or experimental. What are you talking about?
4.0.3 is compiled off AOSP sources. It's stable.

[ROM][CDMA][4.0.3] CM9 Kang *Updated 12/24 3:45pm*
[ROM][AOSP][4.0.3][CDMA] GummyNex 0.2.9 - 12/23/11
I looked at both of these and seems they are both WIP

some devs also recommend to mount system before flash also

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

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.

new e4gt owner with questions about roms

i just picked up an e4gt today, i had one back in december that i rooted then sold. so im back and now there's a ton of stuff out there for this phone.
i just came over from the evo design where there is pretty much nothing happening, and before that i had an evo shift. i had cm7 installed on that and loved it.
so what rom do you guys suggest i use? i see there is cm9 available in alpha form, which has me very tempted.
im looking for a stable rom with no bloatware. and id love some advice.

Go with cm9 that darchstar has posted. It works great and I use it as my daily. After you do the base install I recommend nightly 7/24 and using the chris41g kernel b3 version with it. Great battery life and full functionality.

Does cm9 wipe out cwm?
I'm paranoid to do anything without an option for recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Here is your safest bet (as in super safe):
1. Download the el26 safe cwm kernel from the kernel repository in the sticky for this phone
2. Download cm9 6 and gapps
3. Follow cm9 6 download instructions
4. Let it boot
5. Use mobile Odin if you have it (highly recommend as it makes flashing so easy) and flash the el26 kernel that you downloaded in the kernel section from external sd...always check md5 sum first!
6. Once u see the blue light on ur phone in the LED, hold power+volume up to boot into recovery, once the sgs2 logo shows you can lay off the buttons
7. If you didn't do it in time or held too long, just pull the battery and go to recovery via power+volume up
8. You should be in cwm, flash the nightly of cm9, clear dalvik and cache, then flash the chris 41g b3 kernel and reboot
9. Enjoy
10. From this point forward you have a bomb rom and working recovery that will allow backup/nand/flashing safely.

at this point i want a debloated stable rom. im back to a rooted stock rom with el29.
i just dont want to brick my phone, i have insurance and can take it in to swap it out. its just a waste of time if i can avoid it.
any other suggestions?

To Install
Boot to recovery
Make an NAND Backup
Wipe the phone (with the Format All X2 script)
Flash Part 1
Boot the phone
Go to the updater (Under put things back to stock) and install Part 2 (Two part install is to finish theming Talk)
Reboot and Enjoy
When I did this I went to CWM to flash this through odin. Rom works very smooth. There is a ton of information in the thread but that should get you started.

[Q] Will someone update the multiboot fuction to work with CM10?

I am running CM10 nightly 24. When I try using the cm9 utility it wont flash in CWM, it errors. Will someone please make a new version that will boot the Epic from SD on CM10? If not, does anyone know how to make the cm9 version to work?
CM9 Multiboot Utility:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
At the risk of raising your ire, are you sure you're doing it right? I don't think the utility cares which CM version you're running (unless the repartitioning that's part of CM10 interferes with it??).
You need to download and untar the utility tarball onto your PC first, then copy the boot_FC09.zip from your PC to your SD card's /sdcard/multiboot/FC09 directory.

No, he's correct. The current multiboot utility won't work from CM10 due to some undetermined incompatibility between the kernels. I intend to post a workaround soon, which basically has you flash a 2.6 kernel so the multiboot will work, then flash back your proper CM10 kernel after you're done. Bit of pain with the extra steps, but it's faster than restoring all the way back to CM9.

You can try that yes.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Do a backup, if you don't already have one with your current kernel.
3. Flash a 2.6 kernel (I tested with a CM9 kernel)
4. Reboot to recovery (since you won't be able to boot CM10)
5. Flash the boot_FC09.zip
6. Do whatever you need to do
7. Boot back into recovery
8. Advanced restore -> boot (or reflash CM10, reflash your CM10 kernel of choice, full restore, etc.)
How you restore your proper CM10 kernel is up to you. Advanced restore seems like the easiest way if you remember to backup first, although I haven't tested that method yet.
thanks. i used cleangb kernel and then multiboot worked.

I have a proper fix for using the multiboot from CM10. Stay tuned.

Safe Recovery?

Greetings,
I've goofed around with rooting, and flashing kernels and modems so far with my device, but now I want to get into looking at different ROMs.
I keep seeing that it's critical to use a "known safe kernel/recovery" to avoid bricking, however very little information about what those safe kernels are.
I'd like to try the Re-Calked ROM. Would Agat's FI27repack with recovery be a safe kernel to use for this ? That's what I've currently got on my device.
So sorry for a noob question, but I've had a hard time figuring out a definitive answer for this as information seems to become outdated quickly, and it's difficult to determine what supersedes what.

I only use el26 to wipe and flash, the only thing I flash from "safe" ICS recoveries in the el26zip and then reboot recovery. I've been too lazy to use mobile Odin lately so started just flashing el26 via recovery only wiping cache and dalvik before install. I've had issues with cwm 6 hanging while doing backups

Yeah like Miguel said try wiping manually, from a "safe" recovery. I personally prefer el26+cwm. I've had issues with the wipe all scripts not grabbing everything. I typically wipe manually then flash a format all x2 script from rujules then flash my rom and gapps then wipe cache and dalvik again then boot to system. Then after system boots I go back to recovery and install my inverted gapps after my account is set up and any mods I wanna install wiping cache and dalvik before and after and i rarely have issues with FCs or reboots. Usually I get em from testing something that ends up not being compatible :thumbup:

Flash kko-t989 or hotcakes aosp kernel. Wipe dalvik , wipe cache then reboot. Try sk8erwitskils cwm recovery its in the thread for development

I can't find the sk8terwitskills cwm recovery. But I have tried to flash and wipe dalv/cache still getting the bootloop.
Its aosp so either should work.
Can you get to your recovery?
I have always had to use the darksidecachewipe zip after flashing with cwm recovery.
Twrp does NOT require the use of cache wipe scripts.
Try getting the darksidecahewipe onto your device, and run it from recovery after you flash.
I soft bricked a phone the other day with the hotcakes kernel because I didn't make sure I was running a post-oct14 build of cm10. So make sure you meet all criteria for installation.

Tried everything, not working, What build are you using? Maybe Ill try it. Please
Update your recovery to latest TWRP or CWM. If your flashing properly and still having issues then that's all it could be.

I've used these kernels on various JB ROMs
KKO

Hotcakez

Base Firmware
Would it matter if I started at a 4.0.3 Firmware or a 4.0.4 firmware Stock? I have been flashing from 4.0.3 Stock firmware
I'm running the stable release of cm10. I've tried lots of ROMs and I find I always go back to cm10.
The liquid ROM is cm10 based so anything that will work with cm10 should work with liquid ROM.
Try flashing cm10 stable from scratch. Full wipes. Follow instructions on cyanogenmod install instructions page.
Backup.!!! If still on cwm,...........use darksidesuperwipe to factory reset device. I like to flash radio then cm10 then DScachewipe and reboot. Wait at least 10mins after first boot.
Then I like to reboot, and flash gapps then kernel, then DScachewipe.
In my opinion, definitely get onto twrp. No need to DScachewipe before reboot. Also nicer UI.
After cm10 is running good, flash till your hearts content.
Although I think you will find cm10 to be an excellent daily driver.
Good luck.
