[Q] Help flashing kernel

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

[Q] HELP!!!

i have a unlocked & rooted galaxy nexus....i flash the rom open kang build 22 & flash the gapps 4.0.4 after i rebooted. i stocked in bootanimation & hang up & appear the google logo, always like that...cannot start.....HELP please....

Wipe and reflash the ROM then Gapps, then boot.

Did you do a full wipe. Wipe factory/data, cache partition and in the advanced menu wipe dalvik cache. Then flash rom and gapps

After you flash the rom, wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash gapps. You cant just flash rom than the 4.0.4 gapps you will get the bootloop.

i already do full wipe & still the same problem?

1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps
6. Reboot

In addition to doing what Eddy says, re-download the rom and Gapps.

I always flash like that never have a problem. Never reflash after flash. Try to flash another ROM OP to see if it was the ROM or not.

Factory reset, format /system
Flash rom
Edit: this is how I flash roms and I NEVER had an extra issue by doing so.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.

after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.

Thanks for your answers

[Q] Full wipe stock rom

So..
AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

Hi, to make things easier for you. Download Zoot's Super Wipe Script at the Android Development Section. It's a few pages back but it's worth a look

Was searching for Zoot's Super Wipe Script at Android development.. Cant find it...
p.s. and if i do full wipe before and after flashing rom, wouldn't that erase my rom because of system wipe ?

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

Thanks mate !!
But one more thing i have to ask you :
If i do full wipe with script before flash (including system wipe) would i be able to flash 4.1.2 via odin then ?? I mean, ive heard that it is only firmware update.. Thanks again

Are you trying to go back to stock? Or flash a custom ROM? Sorry, didn't get you there.

Im on 4.1.2 french stock dll4 atm.. And i have pinch to zoom lag when zooming pictures.. A lot of ppl told me to do full wipe and then flash again 4.1.2 dll4 via odin and it will go away... I did wipe (without wiping system) before flash... And it is there again... So ppl told me to do wipe before and after flash..
So, im trying to do full wipe, flash 4.1.2 again via odin, then wipe after flash...

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

Dirty flash

sorry for the noob question what is dirty flash

Flashing a rom without wiping /data first. A "filthy" flash would be to flash without wiping even cache and Dalvik
You can dirty flash between minor version updates of the same rom. Whenever you flash a major update (let's say from bestromever JB 4.3 based to bestromever JB 4.4 based) or if you flash a rom from a different developer you need a clean flash, meaning you need to wipe data, cache and Dalvik in your custom recovery.
If in doubt: clean flash
