For some reason now, my phone won't take kernels anymore. I can install ROM's and everything else, but when i try and flash a different kernel my phone won't keep it. It will reboot fine, but when i go and look in the settings to see if the kernel is there it is not installed. I do the usual clear dalvik and the cache then flash the kernel. It says it installed it, but it doesn't. Has this ever happened to anyone else, and if so how do you fix it? I have also completely wiped the phone and that did not help either. I have a HTC EVO 4g. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Hey Partyman this may sound silly but did you double check that you're not flashing the wrong kernel with the rom you're flashing?

Lewa OS. The kernel is mason gb v15. I never had a problem before until I used gruesome wolfs script that is supposed to clean everything to install a ROM.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
keep in mind not every kernel will work with every custom rom, sometimes it will say installed but it really didnt. other times your phone just will boot loop at the white evo screen
Well just to let you know....Problem solved on installing kernel's. I changed over to Smelkus Mod and it worked perfect. My Anon RA must have went bad or something.
Mod can you please close this thread now. Thanks.

For some reason my messages keep deleting themselves for no apparent reason. I do not use handcent or any other secondary messaging service. I've checked and double checked all of my settings and i do not have it set up to automatically delete anything at any time. I'm currently using Incredibly Re-engineered v2.3.1 and Lou's #8 kernel. The problem didn't ever occur when i was using the stock rooted rom.
So does this happen after a reboot, or just something you notice after putting your phone down then coming back to it...? Odd.
Try flashing another ROM, Lou makes a great EVO based ROM called Incredible Revolution. Give that a shot just to see if it is a ROM based issue.
Its a known issue... really annoying.

Nope. Only full wipe when switching roms. Although if youre switching kernels like u said, if youre going from one made by 1 dev and switching to another by a diff dev i would wipe the dalvik cache under advanced in recovery

Thanks alot, and another quick one, if i were to flash a rosie mod, would i do it just as i would flash a rom/kernel? And would I want to wipe the dalvik cache for that too?
EDIT: Man i have alot of stupid questions, but also how would i remove the old kernel... or do i not have to? lol.

If running cm7, ya gotta flash a gingerbread AOSP kernel - try that.

Invisiblek is the way to goon Gingerbread roms. I've flashed his newest with OMFGB 1.1.1, and it is awesome. No problems snappy, excellent battery too!
Sometimes people (including me) mix up AOSP and Sense, sadly they don't like to play with others if you install them with the wrong rom. Racists, pft.
I have only had the phone about a week now so I have had a lot to learn. So far everything seems good now and I am happy. Now if i could just get better battery life lol.

The link you provided is the EVO kernel. Have you tried the Inc kernel?
Evo: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/evo/Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
The zip files have different contents.
EDIT - I just realized the thread you linked has both the Inc and the Evo versions. I saw that it was in the Evo subforum and jumped to the wrong conclusion. In any regard, make sure you are flashing the right one.
I just flashed
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
and i am still having same problem. Any ideas ?
Edit: Messing around with rooted phones is something I have just started so it maybe something simple I am missing.
Not sure why my cell doesn't seem to like other kernels but
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
seems to be doing just fine so i will leave it alone.
Thanks for all the help.
Have you tried Incredikernel? Kernels are really a matter of personal preference, but Incredikernel seems to be one of the best. (And also my favorite.)
I gave it a shot a while back and had trouble. My issue is that he touch screen doesn't respond. Incredikernel is recommended in several places but i had zero luck with it supporting the screen. I have started to wonder if its support for slcd.
I will try it again and see what happens.
well since i cant flash kernels but i can flash roms that comes with kernels is possible i can customize the kernel in the rom? i mean like flashing a rom and adding my own choice kernel?
Why can't you flash kernels? You do it in recovery the same way you flash a rom - with the exception of wiping data. You only need to wipe cache/dalvik.

i dont know whats wrong with my phone but all the kernels i tryed to flash it end up in a bootloop. i flash sense with sense and aosp with aosp kernels they all go into bootloop. trust me i even used amon ra recovery sometimes backing up with amon ra recovery and trying to restore sometimes it doesnt work. clockworkmod seem to be fine but cannot flash kernels.
Did u try the kernal manager in the market. It might help with getting a kernal to work

you dont know i try everything i even posted it on xda asking for help. i follow all there steps still same problem bootloops. i even had to factory reset twice because i was stuck in bootsceen. i used unrevoked to root but i was thinking maybe if i unrevoked it and using a differnt method to root. but i havent tryed it. so i donno if its phone or the program im using to root i donno whats the deal. i never flash any kernels because i was unable to pass the bootloop. the only way to get a custome kernel is flashing a rom that has a custom kernel.
It def doesnt have anything to do with unrevoked. What ROM are you running and what kernel are you trying to flash? Are you wiping cache and dalvik?

Hello all,
So I am an avid ROM flasher (I try at least 2 a week), and recently when I try to install Sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROMs I have an issue; The ROM flashes and boots up all nice and good, but the startup application that runs by default on a fresh install doesn't show up. All I get is the wallpaper and the notification bar w/ clock, battery etc. but thats it, I can't get passed this to any other screen . After all that the only way I can get back to recovery to flash a working ROM is through a battery pull.
Like I always do with new ROMs, I
nandroid
factory wipe/reset
wipe cache a few times
wipe dalvik cache a couple times
flash GruesomesWipeAll.zip
then flash ROM
The wierd part is that I can flash Stock Barebones just fine along with any other ICS ROM with no issues.
So I guess what im getting at is, is there im doing something wrong i.e. flashing or wiping?
PS. my SD is partitioned
PSS. the ROMs that arent working for me are
The Express
EnergyROM
And one other that I forgot

Hello I been trying to use the ktoonz kernel for some time now and every time I install it after reboot I get a black screen after. The rom is compatible cause a lot of people have it up and running with the jelly bomb 11.0 rom. Anyone has any idea why this is happening? I searched the forums and I can't find a solution any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
I would not think you would need to flash this kernel over the ROM since Jelly Bomb 11 comes with this kernel already installed.
Having said that you should not have a problem flashing the kernel again, as long as you flashed the correct one. Did you flash the TW kernel or the AOSP kernel?

I flashed the from itself and I got the black screen so I downloaded the TW kernel same result then I tried the aosp and the black screen remains I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Jelly Bomb is a TW ROM so you need the TW kernel. The AOSP kernel will not work.
You may need to wipe all (data, cache and Dalvik) after flashing this ROM.

I should probably try the cleaner after flashing the kernel huh? .....brb.
Edit: No dice - same effect flashing the cleaner before and after flashing the kernel.
have to go back to freeza "LJ7 Kernel with bootanimation support" only one that works for me.
Can't understand what would be causing this.
