i'm planning on installing GLaDOS kernel today, and i'm currently running codename android.
if anything goes wrong, or i want to switch to another, how do i go back to the stock kernel.
Also, does a CWMR backup backup the custom kernel as well?
yes, the CWMR backups everything, including the kernel, so that would be your best bet
oh okay. so i could do a backup before i flash the kernel, and then if anything goes wrong, just restore that backup. correct?

Correct or to go even farther you can just restore that kernel only. In that advanced section on the restore menu, restore boot.img

very awesome. thanks!
Great posts guys!
Question, is it best to reset the kernel every time change you change it? I've had some issues with kernels and this may be the problem.
I feel like in theory there's bits and pieces of things in there that I need to clean. Haha. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

I would check /system/etc/init.d; If there are any scripts from previous kernel there, delete them through adb or prefered method.
Also, in that folder, you may find other scripts, for example voltage settings @boot from 3rd party apps like setcpu, you should also remove those (if you use them at all)
You're asking about when changing custom kernels, right? When I switch kernels, I don't reflash stock kernel first. I just flash one custom kernel on top overwriting the installed one.
Oh ok thanks man.
I've only ever set min and max cpu stuff. Never any voltage settings. So I van probably go over with no worries yeah?
So you know what the build number is for stock kernel on 4.0.3?
Thanks again man.

sorry, setting min/max cpu freq at boot time also places a script in /system/etc/init.d/, so I'd look out for those as well, forgot to specify those, as they may also cause conflicts with your current rom/next kernel. as always, you can open those scripts in a text editor and see what they're doing or will do on boot.
not sure on the release version/numbers though..my guess is that the easiest way is to repo sync 4.0.3 tag from aosp, that will have stock kernel version planned for that release.
Can someone post a CWM flashable file of the 4.0.2 kernel please.

what? doing the nand backup? that's just in case the kernel doesn't work you can restore to the previous condition your phone was in (so do it before you flash baked's kernel)
I'm not sure if his kernels will work on other roms though, I think I tried once
I've used it on my ROM what ROM are you using that might help.

How do you guys do it? Your not shopping the images are you?
This is a newb question I know, I have searched all over the forums. i have the stock rom and am not interested in any of the roms since most of them seem to not have 4g working or some other things( cant wait until they do!). My question is how do I flash just the kernel? i have never flashed anything before and I just backed up everything with rom manager. thanks!!!

Wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flash like you would a Rom. Don't forget to nand first.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Edit - I'm assuming there's a specific kernel you have that you want to flash, and you didn't mean how to extract the kernel from a full Rom - also just noticed that you said you already backed up with rom manager. You may want to consider backing up manually through recovery or using amonra instead - nobody seems to know what exactly rom manager wipes when you tell it to wipe.

i think you're misinformed (or haven't searched hard enough) - most, if not all, sense based ROMs have everything working and some (i.e. wireless/usb tether, performance/efficiency tweaks, etc.). it's the cm/aosp roms that don't have everything working (yet).
flashing kernels is similar to flashing roms. there is a plethora of threads on the topic. read some of the stickies and many of your questions will be answered to get you started with flashing roms/kernels.

here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653
all roms are there. aosp roms are usually the roms where everything is not working.
general steps to flashing (but always read the post from the developer for any special instructions):
1. download file to sd card
2a. get into recovery (either via quickboot app or via powering down then holding volume down button while powering up)
2b. navigating in recovery - volume keys to change selection, power button to select
3. nand backup
4. wipe data, cache and dalvik (only wipe cache and dalvik if you're flashing a kernel)
5. flash the rom/kernel you downloaded
6. reboot
7. drink beer
if something goes wrong, get back into recovery and restore your nand backup.
hope this gets you started.... but read, read, read.
good luck.
sorry OP - back on topic. did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel? what's your up time and awake time (found in settings>about phone>battery). do you have any monitoring apps installed (i.e. system panel, android system info? you may have rogue app.

Thank you quocamole, that helps.
I'm running AOKP and for awhile, things were working great. Then I think I must have gotten a little over-zealous with undervolting because I would boot all the way up and as soon as widgets started loading, the phone would freeze and crash.
I tried a handful of things to fix this and ended up just reflashing the AOKP ROM over the top of everything. Cool. Got everything back to normal, EXCEPT:
I now have the stock AOKP kernel (whatever that is) and no longer have the option to adjust voltage settings. When trying to flash a new kernel (I've tried franco, leankernel, and matr1x), I get the boot loop again.
I've tried uninstalling SetCPU, using the SetCPU safe mode toggle, as well as flashing the leankernel tweaks, but still no dice.
Any ideas on how to flash a new kernel? I don't mind trying different things and have a good NANDroid backup to revert back to if necessary.
had the same problem and did what you did plus additional wipe cache and installed kernel before UV was possible which is 12(still have a backup if you want ) after that I've applied 13.1(latest at that time) and everything was fine
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Read up on fastboot. It will allow you to either flash a kernel+ramdisk (boot.img) or only the kernel (zImage). It also allows you to fastboot both, as in you dont need to flash the kernel to test it.
If that doesnt work, revert back to stock then reflash AOPK, then your custom kernel of choice.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this (I've only had an Android phone for a few days now), you wiped your cache, flashed an older version of a kernel, then flashed the latest version and it worked?
Which kernel was it? And yes, I would definitely be interested in the backup if you have it.

It appears he's talking about the franco kernel. You can find old versions here: http://world-of-nexus.com/download-section/category/4-franco-kernel
You're looking for franco.kernel-nightly12-120112.zip. So, wipe cache and dalvik then flash nightly12, then wipe cache and dalvik again and flash whatever kernel you want.

Unfortunately, yes. I can't boot into SetCPU to disable the "Set at Boot" option. I can only boot into the OS at all if I use an old kernel that doesn't have UV enabled and also no options for it anywhere.
I used both the SetCPU safemode zip as well as placing the SetCPU_safemode file in the appropriate places and still no dice. I think this may be because I used the ROM settings to play with UV and not SetCPU.

Lol. Thats what you get for not listening to my advice: read up on fastboot.
But my guess is that you should adb shell when in recovery, browse to /system/etc/init.d/ and delete relevant script (which setcpu might have placed there), which loads uv values at boot.

Because now setcpu applies your recorded settings on top of the rom uv settings. Why use two ways of acomplishing the same thing at the same time i'll never know.

Try wiping the data from the app(s) you're using to under volt. Go to Settings, Apps, All and navigate to SetCpu, press it and choose Clear Data. Do the same for the other app. After that's done, install the kernel with UV and see if that works

Maybe try clearing the data for the "ROM Control" app, as well as setCPU, since that's what you used to uv (if I'm reading your posts correctly...)? I've never done that so I don't know if it will mess anything up or not... Other than that, I would try a full stock recovery as it seems some setting somewhere isn't getting cleared.

Is the kernel rooted? That is not normal AFAIK, you should see much more in the /etc dir. Also, what kernel/rom are you trying when you get the boot loop? I know you mentioned AOKP and franco, just double checking.

Just to clarify, which program did you use to uv, setcpu or the ROM Control menu?
If you've wiped data from all the programs you've used to under volt your only other option is most likely to start all over and perform a data, cache and dalvik cache wipe and reinstall. In the future, if you are experimenting with UV NEVER select set on boot unless you're sure the voltages are 100 percent stable. You say you have a good nandroid so restore that and reinstall the kernel (unless you had the bad UV values set).

If I've read what the OP said correctly, he has the bad UV values set in the backup somewhere. If he does a restore and then flashes a UV capable kernel he gets stuck at boot (right OP?).

no need to wipe data or anything like that (cache and dalvik cache can be wiped though)
Exactly. It's so easy to get back to stock conditions (and/or your previous setup, with a nandroid), there's really no reason not to try out a different kernel, particularly when the added features (like CPU speed control) have real life implications for improved performance.

Okay so I downloaded Lloir's version of cm9 alpha build.
Currently running adi_pat's titanium kernel build 4.
So I extracted the zip and flashed the boot image thru fastboot.
Then wiped the dalvik, cache, system and data,.
Didn't boot at all.
When I went with the original titanium boot image it got to the boot animation and got stuck there.
I guess this is cm9's way of being stuck at the HTC dev screen.
All other ROMs have worked perfectly on my device. Don't know what is going wrong this time..

stock kernel and Titanium and KISS
Stock kernel will have its modules in /system/lib/modules
Titanium based kernels have them in the ramdisk of the
boot.img in /lib/modules. So the modules will come with the kernel
Titanium or KISS kernel is NOT abel to load modules
from /system/lib/modules
You can try by doing e.g
insmod /system/lib/modules/fm_drv.ko
And you will get the error
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/fm_drv.ko': invalid module format
So when you use Titanium or KISS make sure /lib/modules contains
the modules from the boot.img. Else e.g. WIFI will not work since the
module cannot be loaded

Your welcome
Actually I havnt found the exact reason why there is this "invalid format" error
Since the file has the correct format
bcmdhd.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
You can of course als replace the stock modules in /system/lib/modules with
the ones from /lib/modules if you use Titanium kernel
Regards

EDIT: Ok I know the reason - was just stupid
10 years of linux knowledge - should have known better
fm_drv: version magic '3.0.16-g42caf24 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '3.0.16Titanium-KISS-svn322 preempt mod_unload ARMv7'
The reason is that Titanium or KISS use a different version "magic" which is compiled into the kernel modules
I've got some graphical glitches in settings menu, app drawer, etc., I wiped everything and formatted /system. Used TitaniumKernel and built-in kernel from zip.
Did anyone experienced that?
P.S. an insmod of /lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko worked for me, but wifi didn't work as far as I could have seen with these glitches...

yes it's a problem the glitches....btw i've just pushed a new git that needs testing PM me if it needs to be reverted
btw DONT EVER EVER USE the built-in kernel....im pretty sure that's what caused my device to die...only use Titanium dude
Also try using the EGL folder from the CM9 in the DEV Thread and let me know if that removes the glitches

I haven't flashed the built-in kernel, I just booted it via "fastboot boot" - normally there should happen nothing if I use it that way. I think it's a prebuilt kernel with just another ramdisk, so there shouldn't be any issues... but as long as we don't know what's the reason I flash as less as possible maybe the built-in kernel hasn't started and rebooted so fast that it booted with titaniumkernel. I don't know.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me undervolt my Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE running on Cyanogenmod 10.1.
You need to install a kernel that allows for undervolting, such as KT747.

Do you know if Cyanogenmod will allow you to undervolt in the future? Is there some way I can undervolt WITHOUT uninstalling Cyanogenmod?
I have no idea of CM's plans, but you can UV with any ROM as it is dependent on your kernel.
Install the kt747 kernel and after you do that you'll have an app in your app drawer called ktweaker. Go into that and under volt away.

Be sure to download the one that corresponds to your ROM.

This will work with my Cyanogenmod 10.1, right? What exactly is a kernel?

If you are sure to DL the 4.2.1 JB version, yes it should work. I say should as I don't use CM and can't be certain you won't run into issues.
As for the explanation of a kernel, I think you should do some reading up before flashing them without proper knowledge. This link is worth reading and bookmarking for later use.

Read,read,read if you're still not sure read some more the kind folks here at XDA have vast amounts of knowledge and I can guarantee you that you'll find Answers to most if not all of you're answers.

Could you please help me with these steps?
1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions
I think I know how to clear the cache with clockwork recovery but I do not know how to do the other steps.

I haven't used CWM in months, but I believe both options are located under "advanced" on the main menu.

Friendly advise:
As it has been mentioned before, you should really read more on what you're about to do here. UV can make your phone unstable and if you don't know what you're doing at the first place and/or how to recover from a unstable state, you'll have a paperweight in your hands.
Please use the search button, read and learn more on what you want to do.
After installing the kernel, do I need to update the kernel when I update cm 10.1? And how do I "fix permissions"?

Fix permissions by going into advanced in clockworkrecovery, should be the last option. Don't know about your other question but you can check what kernel your running by going into settings--->about.

Every time you reinstall or update your ROM you need to reinstall your kernel of choice. This is because the ROM will have its own kernel that overwrites the one you install.
To fix permissions, you need to boot into recovery. From there it depends on your recovery software. In TWRP, you select "Advanced" and then "Fix Permissions", swipe to confirm and reboot. I forget where it is in CWM but poke around a little bit and you should be able to locate it.
