[Q] Help flashing kernel - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's up guys? I been flashing roms for a while now, and I have yet to flash a kernel. I wanna flash this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421704
I'm not sure what steps I have to do to successfully flash a kernel, Can I flash it just like I would a rom in rom manager? Or do I need to flash it in fast boot???
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Flash a kernel by going into CWM recovery, wipe dalvik cache and regular cache , install, done or I think you can do it from rom manager, been awhile, but I believe you can install while wiping dalvik
Edit: oops said rom instead of kernel XD

the rom i am currently using is mikG 2.55 and using Freedom0.9 aggressive for my kernel. and i flashed them both with Amon_RA v2.3
what was your method of flashing? did u flash rom, then reboot? Or did u flash both of them @ same time in recovery? give me a run down and i'll see what i can do to help
u prob know all this stuff but sometimes i forget something as simple as wiping diff stuff. Best option might be a fresh install and maybe flashing virus superwipe first.
I disagree with superwipes.
Just go to wipe in Amon RA and wipe every option there is, except SD Card: and Battery Stats, if you're not full ycharged. Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache twice, then flash the ROM, reboot, let it settle for a few minutes, reboot to recovery. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache again, flash the kernel.
Reboot, let it settle a few minutes and start doing your setup

[Q] boot loop

I flashed CM7.1 and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried wipe cache partition, wipe date/factory reset, wiping dalvik cache and reflashing a different rom but still keep getting the boot loop. What else should I try doing to slove this ?
Could be kernel related, are you using an aosp and hopefully not a sense kernel? Need more info, what kernel, recovery are you using?
I'm using ClockworkMod recovery I'm not sure what kernel I using
Easy fix, recommend starting from new. wipe the entire phone in recovery at least 3 times, sd card also, backup sd card to computer if you need to via USb toggle, flash Cm 7.1, flash tiamat kernel, found in development section, reboot, good to go, nandroid once up and running, happy flashing
Thanks, okay I'm glad you said easy fix I'm not as worried now. I'm gonna follow your advice. Whats a roamer kernel ?
sorry swype acting weird, use tiamat kernel 4.1 something in development section
The FIRST Thing you should do is get rid of Clockwork Mod, and get Amon Ra, so you can wipe everything.
Just wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM isn't enough.
Hey thanks again ! ! I followed your advice and got everything working again

[Q] I Need Help

Helo.. i have question about gio.. before want to flash custom rom.. need to flash superuser and cwm right?? if only flash superuser, can? sorry my bad english and stupid question.. i'm tired how to solve my problem camera, everytime i flash custom rom.. i wanna flash xperiatized on my gio.. what i wanna do before flash?? wipe data only??
You have to flash CWM first. After that you have to wipe everything (data, cache, maybe dalvik-cache) and then you have to install your ROM.
If you was on Stock before you have to wipe everything again.
Now you can reboot and enjoy your rom.
PS: There's no need to flash Superuser.

If you are on a Stock-ROM than flash this: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4-rfs.zip
When you have installed the Custom-ROM than flash this: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip

[Q] Custom Roms / Kernel Questions

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-1747) that is running stock with root.
I have rooted my phone using the samsung toolkit located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
Since that toolkit flashed a CWM Based recovery I have installed ROM Manager and flashed CWM Recovery version 6.0.1.2
My questions are..
- with my current setup.. am I technically running the "Stock" samsung kernel?
- why would you want to flash a different kernel to your phone?
- and is it necessary to flash a different kernel in order to use certain custom roms?
- At first I was leaning towards flashing CM10 nightly but the more I look at it.. I want to flash PARANOIDANDROID 2.22 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818199
Is this rom fully compatible with my AT&T phone? and since i'm running stock with root, do I need to do anything special before flashing this rom? Factory reset? Wipe Data? I've already made a full nandroid backup.
Thank you!
- with my current setup.. am I technically running the "Stock" samsung kernel? I believe so
- why would you want to flash a different kernel to your phone? Different kernels do different things.. some have better batter life.. some let you OC and UC..
- and is it necessary to flash a different kernel in order to use certain custom roms?Well sometimes.. Well technically.. most kernels will work with most of the ROMS out there.. as long as you stay withing your phones threads.. But some ROMs have a kernal with them.. and some ROMS you need to flash your own kernel..

Thank you for the reply.
On the rom i'm wanting to flash for my SGH-i747 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818199
The steps for flashing are as follows:
CWM: Install Zip: Rom: Download Here Make sure the file you download is PA-2.22-d2att.zip
CWM: Install Zip: Gapps: Download (These are the new ones)
CWM: Wipe Data/Factory Reset
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot and edit your Apps Dpi & Layout under Settings/Paranoid Settings - DO NOT RESTORE YOUR OLD PROPERTIES FOR NOW
Would i need to wipe data, factory reset, then also wipe dalvik cache BEFORE I install the rom and gapps since i'm running stock with root?
Thank you
i'm also reading that for paranoidandroid you must first flash CM10 then flash paranoid.. is this accurate?
umm.. not sure where you saw that you need to flash a CM rom before flashing the paranoid ROM..
I believe the Paranoid rom is based off CM
The instruction on the link you have, in my opinion, is wrong..
The way that i flash my roms is...
Wipe data/factory reset..
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format/Data
Fomat/System ( i think deletes backups) only do in emergency.aka optional step
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps.
THATS IT
Some people will wipe cache afer flashing a rom..
But if you wipe data/factory reset i believe deletes the ROM...

If you are already running CM10 then you don't need to wipe Cache. Just dalvik and data. Im pretty sure thats what was confusing, since this is based off of CM10.

yeah, I just keep reading and reading.. probably making this out to be more difficult than it really is just don't want to end up with a brick or anything.
I'm already on stock + root + latest CWM so I just need to put the files on my phone and flash but I believe these are the steps i need to take:
1- Download ROM and Gapps to internal sd card
2- Boot phone into recovery
3- WIPE Cache/Delvik/Data factory reset> Mounts and Storage- format system
4- Flash ROM and Gapps

No WIFI/Signal/GPS with new kernel

Hey guys,
since a few weeks now i have some problems if i flash new kernels on sense based roms.
Always if i flash a new kernel WIFI/Signal/GPS does not work...
On AOSP/CM10/AOKP everything works fine.
I also tested some new radios, currently im on 5.1204.162A.29 and on hboot 1.36 (CID VODAP120)
Does someone know how to fix that?

/Edit: I also tried to set APN manually but it doesnt work...
Which ROM are you on currently?
If you flash an AOSP kernel on a Sense ROM, it might break something and vice-versa.... hence the problem...
And after flashing the boot.img via fastboot, you also have to flash the modules via recovery and then wipe cache/dalvic!

I have absolutely no idea about MIUI.. I only know this much that you have to flash a sense kernel... Does it need repack? No clue! Wait for some other person to reply or ask in the MIUI thread...
However, you shouldn't boot into your ROM after flashing the boot.img
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. fastboot erase cache
3. Go to recovery and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvic
4. Flash modules.zip
5. Reboot

Hmmm... try wiping cache and dalvic... Reboot...
Ask ROM related issues in the ROM thread m8! there you will get more accurate answers from the other MIUI users and developer!
The problem is its on all sense roms...
Only on AOSP/CM10/AOKP roms everything works fine.
