[Q] Problem Flashing from Recovery with FC22 Kernel

Im running CM9 right now and I flashed caulk's new FC22 kernel without knowing that it doesntt boot right! I know, rookie mistake. Im now trying to go back to my FC18 repack kernel because it has worked great for me, but whenever I try and flash something in this modified stock recovery, it gives me a little android guy laying down with his stomach open and a big red triangle with an exclamation point above him. Anyone have any ideas how I can flash zips with this recovery? Perhaps the permissions are wrong on the zip but I dont know how to fix it, and I need to be able to flash it from recovery because im not around a computer that I can Odin with
Any help would be appreciated, id like to be able to use my phone in the next 2 days before I get back to my home computer! Thanks

I am pretty sure it has been stated over and over to NEVER flash anything with ICS recovery because it is not stable enough yet. You need to Odin back to a gingerbread recovery then flash.

FB21 will give you a recovery to flash from, just use mobile odin to flash it.

Any ics recovery is a risk, especially for cm9. Just Odin back to el26 cmw repack, boot right into recovery, and then flash the right ics kernel for cm9.
Sent from my SPH-D710

My mistake. I have never tried CM9. I have flashed to and from GB on both Blend and Darkstar ROMS with no issue. I have heard that CM9 has issues with that and I must have overlooked that in op's post. Flash back to EL26 then flash to different rom.

Lost Rogue Recovery, still have root

I'm running VeNuM ICE 3.1.1 with FC22 Modem and Kernel. Apparently I used stock on the kernel during my last flash and lost my recovery. What's the easiest way to get it back since I'm already rooted and the Android System Recovery <3e> doesn't give me the option to flash anything?

Odin or mobile odin.

Cool, that's what I was thinking but i wasn't sure. Thanks!

I use mobile odin, it's easy. Download kernel tar to phone. In mobile odin press kernel, find the tar and hit go. It reboots the phone for you

I am a dummy and am in somewhat the same situation. I flashed aokp build 28 ics rom, right in the beginning of the thread it says 'dont flash from stock ics recovery' I had team rouge on ics rom, so I thought I was good. Now I just go to android system recovery.
Will the odin thing work for me too, or will I mess it up further. from what I have read, odin seems like what I am supposed to do.
sorry if I wasnt supposed to ask in this thread, but at least it shows I am searching!

i am rooted. I want to flash a different rom altogether, mainly because I don't know if a kernel I can flash that will let me boot into rouge or cwm.
the aokp that I flashed came with fc15 kernel and I wanted to flash to fc22 and that is when I realized I was only able to boot into android system recovery.

From what I've heard is not to mess with a Recovery while on ICS due to their being bricks... I'd suggest using the ODIN one click to EL29, then use autoroot package with option C, to install Rogue recovery and flash to a newer ICS ROM.

What id suggest is downloading chris41gs stock el26 recovery and use mobile odin to flash it. Then upon reboot go into recovery and flash whatever u want next. Then if u want to switch roms again or update, follow the same procedure.

thanks Febby & rsalinas1, I used sfhubs one click odin to stock, then installed FC24 with cwm and I am good to go. good (cheap) learning experience for me.

Misled... Confused????

So let me try and get this right...I'm on fd26 stock rooted in order to flash a new ROM all I have to do is flash a GB kernel and not go back to GB fully, and if I wanna flash just a theme then I just use el29 kernel also is this correct? If not what are the steps I take to flash a new ics ROM from stock rooted fd26??? Thank You in advance!!!

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash
Jus' Sayin'

Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

Noob Root Questions

Hello,
I am brand new to all this stuff and this is my first post. I just rooted my phone and installed CWM. My question is I want to install the blu kubin rom but is there anything else that I need to do regarding the kernal before I switch from EL29 GB to an ICS rom? Also if I dont like the rom and want to switch to another one what do I have to do so I dont brick my phone? Do I have to flash back to EL29 before switching roms? I am so confused!!! Thank you all so much for all your help!!!

You will need to Odin the el26+cwm5 kernel to flash blu kuban, to return to GB if you so choose, just Odin one click el29, to change to another ICS rom Odin the el26+cwm5 kernel and boot straight into recovery to flash the rom you choose. I've gotten into the habit of just odining el26+cwm5 any time I wanna use recovery no matter which rom I'm on. Make sure you ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS READ EVERYTHING IN THE ROMS OP AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. Also read up on the stickied threads about flashing roms and how not to brick

You can also safely use the format files that avoid the wipe data/factory reset that is so risky instead of the el26+cwm. But both methods are safe, just depends on your preferences.
Calkulin's format_all and/or Rujelus22's format x2 (which is in the OP of the Blu Kuban thread)

For best results, everyone will tell you to flash ICS roms using EL26 kernel. I used EL29 to flash the BluKuban Rom without a problem (not saying u should) I think you are safe as long as you DON'T do a factory reset or reset data INSTEAD use Calkulins Format all file OR Rujelus Wipe 2x file Then flash the Rom.
So; Download the BluKuban Rom.
Download Rujelus Wipe 2x file or Calkulins Format all file.
Place files to sdcard.
Go into GB recovery (hold vol up and power)
Flash Rujelus wipe 2x or Calkulins
Flash the BluKuban
Reboot. First reboot takes a bit.
After reboot go to settings, Rom updater and download part 2 (it finishes theming Talk) that's all.
Alot of helpful people on that Rom. Just ask if u have any further questions.

How do I even get the EL26 kernal? I am sorry but I am so confused! I thought now that I am rooted and have CWM O am good to flash to any rom...maybe I am in over my head....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Also if you want to flash a different Rom, just go into recovery (if the ICS rom that u downloaded has recovery)
Go into ICS recovery. Flash Rujelus wipe 2x file or Calkulins format all file. Then Flash your new Rom.
NEVER go back to GB from ICS (if u choose to go back, flash EL26)

Just do a quick search on xda for el26 tar or use Google.

Do I download the kernal on my PC and then put on my sdcard? And then I use mobile odin to flash to el26? Then I have to install CWM for el26? I am sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I dont brick my phone. Thanks!

I think the search feature has been on the fritz.
You can get the format x2 right in the opening post of the Blu Kuban thread, just use it and you'll be fine.

If you've just rooted but haven't installed recovery then you need to run the autoroot tool. And then you can more forward with flashing Blu Kuban.

officially confused about how to root.

while im not a newbie on getting root on htc phones im new to this phone. i have firmware fh13 which i assume is fixed with the emmc cap erase bug. but im confused on how to root as most methods show up to ff18? do i have to downgrade to root and what custom recovery do i need? i read some pages cwm is not accepted and some that say it is? i read about odin but when i load that up it confuses me more than ever. i have ics 4.0.4 on the phone. thanks for the help.

All you need is the FH13 rooted one click tar file, put the phone in to download mode volume- + power and run the tar file.
There are two versions, the full restore will wipe everything, the no data will keep your apps and data intact.

As for recovery any of Agat63's kernels or the Kuban kernels in original development are safe from the brick bug
If you want to flash A.O.S.P roms then you will need the El26 kernal or Chris41g's Cwm6 also in the other development thread
