Hi,
I've got a One X with ViperX 2.7.0 and the ncx 0.99b kernel, but I recently had a bug where I didn't have to enter my SIM-card PIN and had no signal. So I thought I could restore my backup from a fresh ViperX 2.6.0 via CWM, but I just landed in a bootloop... again. Because this happens every time I want to restore a Nandroid backup or flash the ViperX rom again but have the kernel already installed. So, do you know, why this always happens? My only option is then to install the stock kernel and flash the ViperX rom again. But why I cannot restore my system although the backup is the same rom and had the same kernel, too? I hope you understand my situation - my English is not the best ;D

Extract the boot.img from the backup and flash that.

Hi guys, i have a backup of my stock rom (The software that it comes with outoff the box) and im currently using charmander rom which ive flashed a kernel for, so if i flashed another rom, say for example cynagenmod9, could i restore back to charmander? Even if i flashed another rom after it with a different kernel? Or am i getting confused? Thanks.
When you restore a backup in ClockworkMod, it doesn't restore the boot.img (which contains the kernel).
So whenever you restore, you must also re-flash a boot.img that matches the ROM in your backup.
For example, if you install CM9, you could get back to charmander like this:
1. Connect the phone to your PC and reboot it into bootloader
2. Use fastboot to flash the charmander boot.img file
3. In the bootloader go to hboot then select recovery
4. Restore your charmander backup
Ahhh okay, thank you

Hi
I backed up my stock rom with the correct boot.img.
I then flashed the boot.img supplied with the insertcoin rom and then flashed the rom itself.
When I wanted to restore the backup of the stock rom I also had to flash the boot.img again - is this normal? I was expecting that when I did a restore of the stock rom it would also have backed up the correct boot.img?
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks

Because the phone is currently s-on you can't flash boot.IMG from.clockworkmod has to always be done from fast boot.

Hi Guys,
I have a (dummy) question... I hope you can answer me...
I run 'Venom Flasher' for changing from FAUX 010VF to NCX 2.17-6.
After reboot the cell stoped in white screen.
I tryed all wipe, including factory reset, and there is no way to launch system.
I decided to restore a Nandroid backup, beliving this backup will restore all system, including kernel (FAUX).
After reset the system launch... but... For my surprise the kernel running is the NCX...
How is it possible?
For me a Nandroid backup should restore including the kernel...
Am I crazy or what did I do wrong?
Thanks all!!!
Ps.: the nandroid backup was done with Rom Manager.
You have to extract the boot.IMG from your nandroid and flash that in fastboot, then restore your nandroid. Without s-off, recovery can't flash the boot.IMG

Since we don't have soff, kernels must be flashed manually from a pc/mac using fastboot. Just make sure you flash that from your nandroid backup and no other version.

Hi there
I just installed venom on my one x successfully and now I'm looking at kernels
Mainly the Bricked kernel
I'd just like to ask if I flash this kernel, and want to restore my phone with my original sense backup (the first nandroid backup I took), do I have to flash another kernel before I can restore the back up or does the Kernel only affect the rom currently installed?
I'm extremely sorry for the unclear language, I'm not exactly sure how to put it
Thanks,
Yadash
When you restore the backup , you have to flash the boot.img (kernel) from that particular backup. It's located in the backup folder

Thanks man!
So basically if I install another rom now, and want to restore the backup I made of Viper
I find the boot.img of Viper and flash it and then restore the rom?
Also when I factory wipe to install the next rom does it clear the kernel too?
Let's make it simple, if you flash a rom you also always flash the kernel from that rom !
The same for a backup.
If you flash some other kernel to a different rom , it won't boot !
If you completely wipe your phone the kernel will stay. The kernel will only be overwritten by flashing a different kernel.
Thanks again
I completely understand now, and thank you so much for the help!
No problem. :thumbup:
Sorry one last one
If I install the bricked kernal and want to go back to the original one that viper came with
Do I just run the boot.img that came with Viper?
No, let's say you flash the bricked kernel
Flash the boot.img with fastboot commands and then enter the recovery and flash the modules from the bricked kernel.
If you want to go back and flash the boot.img that came with viper x you will get a bootloop because the modules do not match.
Or you flash the boot.img from viper and reflash the rom without a full wipe
Or you can use the venom flasher to install different kernels of your choice. The custom (stock viper) is also included in that tool
Oh awsome sir, thanks so much again!!
I'm still a Huge Noob at this sort of stuff
No problem :thumbup:
Hello,
This is probably a silly question but I was just wondering if I had to reflash the correct kernel when I restore a ROM. Let me give a scenario as I don't think I can find a decent way to word it.
Lets say I flashed PACman last week and that runs on Hellboy CM10 kernel but then I fancied a change so I did a Nandroid backup in CWM, flashed a Sense kernel (Like Titanium Kiss) then flashed a Sense ROM such as SuPrimo. If I decided to switch back to PACman would I have to flash the boot.img (Hellboy CM10 in this case) before hand or is the boot.img stored in the Nandroid backup?
I'm just curious.
Thank you,
Curtis.
Hello Curtis,
The boot.img is backed up in the nandroid backup.if you open the backup using winrar,you will be able to see it.
you will need to flash the Hellboy kernel again or Pacman will not boot.
If our device was s-off,there would be no need to flash the kernel as it would automatically flash it.
It(boot.img) is stored in the backup,but you must flash it.
U must flash boot.IMG while restoring pacman... that's what while restoring ROM first u should flash boot.IMG
