sorry if this have been ask before.i tried to do a search on the topic but return empty.
question is if i'm using a custom kernel (redpil kernel) and i like to tried out others kernel .the correct way to do it is to flash over it as how i flash over the stock kernel in the first place? do i need to do any wipe.thanks

Flash using your recovery as you did. After flashing do a wipe cache/dalvik and you are good to go.
For kernel, need not wipe anything. Just flash over according to the dev's instructions ie. cwm/odin(pc/mobile) and ensure you don't have any (previous) kernel tweaks ie. in the init.d. Recommended to wipe cache & dalvik if you change rom to refresh the vm dexopt...:good:
and to reset the tweaks to default setting before flashing new kernel right?
Doesn't matter.

At what point do I install a new Kernel?
I'm about to flash a new ROM and it is recommended to use a particular Kernel. At which point do I do this? Just before the first boot? After the first boot?
Thanks!
Kernel comes with the ROM you are flashing. So my suggestion is to try the one that came along with the ROM. If for some reason you are not satisfied with it may it be high battery drain, undervolting, overclocking, or missing governor options, that's when you look for another kernel.
There are 2 types of kernel for Desire, Sense based or AOSP based. You can't use one with the ROM based with the other.
You install new kernels the same way you flash a ROM. Kernel comes in a flashable zip. ONLY wipe dalvik and cache before flashing a new kernel. No need to wipe system at this point. Yeah flash it after the first boot, although flashing it right after the rom wouldn't hurt I believe.
Just flash it right after you flashed the ROM.

Hey all can't post in the rom's thread so here will have to do hope someone can answer this.
Got the rom working fine. The issue is A.) I lose CMW
why? and is there a guide for installing cmw standalone without flashing a kernel?
B.) gapps don't appear even though i def flashed them as OP said to.
Permutations tried so far:
- OP verbatim
- OP + F10AOKP kernal as recommended in OP
Thanks to any and all
using cwm with an ics kernel has been causing bricks. It happened to me once already had the have best buy replace my phone. Most devs aren't packing cwm with ics kernels for the time being this may change but for now its safer this way. When I need to flash something I use mobile Odin to flash back to el26 then I wipe cache flash what I need then flash an aosp kernel : ) and boot

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Also I figured out my gapps issue some trial and error led me to follow CM9's gapps link and that did the trick.
you lose your recovery because of two related reasons:
1) on this device (not sure if it applies to all samsung devices, though i think it does apply to most), kernel and recovery are packaged together and therefore always flashed at the same time. when you flash a kernel, you always lose whatever recovery you had before.
1.1) since you flashed aokp, which includes a kernel, you therefore lost your recovery because of reason 1. no big. next time you need to flash something over AOKP or make a nandroid, just odin el26 kernel which includes cwm (search for it, not gonna link it), and do your thing. just remember to reflash the ROM before rebooting cuz el26 is a gb kernel which wont work with aokp (because it's ICS).
Also you should read the first couple post in the thread....it explains what is what with the ROM and that it doesn't have cwm ...etc

Hey guys,
I'm new to the Xperia Arc development and need some help with installing a custom rom. I've done quite a bit of reading but still can't figure out what is wrong and why it's simply not working.
So from what I gathered the steps to ensure a successful flash are:
Firstly flash a stock rom via flashtool ie LT18i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf
flash LT18i_4.1.A.0.562_Kernel > root the device > flash back to LT15a_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel
Then now that the device is rooted, I need to install a recovery such as CWM via RecoverX
So, so far so good as I can access CWM, stock rom works fine as well
So then next step is to unlock the bootloader
pretty sure this worked, as when i tried to unlock it again, it said it failed as it was already unlocked
Now flash a custom kernel, in this case i flashed the 146 FXP CM kernel
This also seemed successful as I was presented with a custom splash screen
So then after custom kernel is installed I enter recovery, wipe the cache and reset factory settings, format the data system and cache as well as wiping the dalvik and battery stats.
After, I installed the custom rom zip file, in this case it was aokp_anzu-ota-eng.kxp_build5 and then google apps and then reboot.
So my problems begin here.
My phone seems to be stuck in the boot process (sometimes), on the "initiating swagger" splash screen and it goes crazy. I've tried flashing this rom with other kernels (fusion 3.9) and sometimes it actually loads up into the rom. But the rom is extremely laggy, applications freeze and close and the wifi never works
So my question is, is there any steps or procedures that I am missing, not doing right or in the correct order?
I don't think it's any hardware issues as wifi works in the stock rom, and it's fairly smooth and fluid.
Also, is there a better way to flash roms so that I don't need to do this entire process of flashing a stock rom, rooting, unlocking bootloader, installing recovery every time I want to flash a new rom? And when I flash a custom kernel first, then flash a custom rom that has a kernel inbuilt (cm10) does the custom rom's kernel replace the one i just flashed, reason for asking is that the instructions say to flash the custom kernels and then the roms, but yeh just hasn't been working for me so not really sure how to do what.
I'd really appreciated any help or insight!
Thanks

Thanks! I've read your guide (what I based my flashing on) and it seems consistent with what I have done, on the surface of it anyway. If you think I missed or overlooked something, would it be possible to point it out?
If your boot loader is unlocked it's as simple as this...
1. Flash kernel
2. Wipe cache etc
3. Install ROM
...I always reboot before installing anything else as I've found it can break the installation of the ROM.

As ExpirienceD says,just one more thing flash kernel modules if you need to.
So:
1.Flash kernel
2.Full wipe data/cach...etc...
3.Flash ROM
4.Flash kernel modules

I can't seem to find this kernel on XDA or google.
Im on my SGH I747M 4.1.1
with kernel 3.0.31-538866 [email protected]#1
Where can I get this kernel to flash?
Reason why I'm asking is i'm trying to flash new kernels and want this as a back up to have it stored so i can restore it.
Unless....TWRP recovery images can recover the kernel when you restore that image?
Thanks!

When you restore your backup, it will restore the kernel as well.

It's in your ROM zip. Named zimage. Extract that file and you can flash it using Odin.
You can also dirty flash the ROM (without wiping) and it will reflash it.
Btw, reinstalling the kernel doesn't do anything if it's already on your phone. It won't fix anything. If you flashed another kernel though, that's another story.
May we know what you're trying to fix?

look what this member write in the Hiperdrive RSL11 rom :
Venom0642 said:
I would reflash the rom again clean make sure in aroma you chose full wipe system/data and make sure you don't select S Note and flash again once you do that don't reboot from aroma take check mark off aroma so you don't reboot then in recovery flash your kernel which ever your going to flash after that wipe cache davik then reboot do not set up Google account let it sit for 5 to 10 mins after that reboot one more time then let it sit 5 more min after that then start setting up your google account you should not get that popup or any other issues.

I bought a device with Android not original
After about a week appeared "Camera Failed"
A friend got me a rom filled - and the problem is solved :angel:
But then again, back to the problem, (I think because the game stuck in the machine) :crying:
I tried to install the original Rom - problem still exists,
Is there a proposal for reconstructing damaged file?
And how can I find it?

Flash stock kernel or perseus 35 or older, see if it works,then flash another kernel of choice.
If your camera is acting up when flashing different roms/kernels, wipe everything with zooks script or use clean rom in philz recovery, do fresh install check camera app on first boot, then change kernel. I had same issues and following these steps solved it for me

i don't want to sound like a douche but i just did ,
flash stock>check camera>flash custom kernel if you want
when flashing new rom perform mega wipe>flash rom>check camera>install custom kernel if you want it
the problem for me is if i don't wipe everything and flash kernel without previously opening camera app the camera app will always fail.
for wiping scripts search note 2 forums.
also if you are having problems following these simple steps maybe it would be good option to ask your friend to do it for you, takes 3mins max
