[Q]

I have never flashed a rom to my current evo which is rooted and I love it. My question is how do I go back to my current stock state if I don't like rom. I have nandroid backups and will make another before I flash a rom, I know how to clear everything out before flashing the new rom. Can I just restore the nandroid back to return to the stock rom or do I have to do something else. Also what kernel should I use if I want to check out CM7. I have read that a lot of people use either Tiamat or Savaged-Zen. Thanks in advance.

That is correct, all you would need to do is restore a nandroiid backup, to return the exact point you were at when you created that backup. Simple as that. As far as kernels, either of the two you tried should work great. Every phone is different, so try them out and see how they run. I'd also give the stock CM kernel that comes with CM7 a chance, it ran beautifully on my device, fwiw.

I agree with buckley in regards to just using the stock CM7 kernel. I'm pretty sure Cyanongen and Co. know what they're doing...

Great then I think that I will try to install CM7. Also do I need to do the gps fix now while I'm on the stock rom or do I needed to just wait to see if I have gps problems first. Also will CM7 replace my Amon-Ra v 2.3 with Clockwork recovery.

Flashing CM won't effect your recovery. Also, I think you can do the GPS fix now before you flash. Either way, couldn't hurt.

Flashing kernels

Hey just 2 quick questions in the way of Kernels.
1 what is the best kernel for saving battery available for the galaxy Nexus?
2. How would I go back to the stock kernel after flashing a custom one? (how do I revert back)
Thanks!

I love Francos Kernel, and I think most people on this forum will tell you the same. For now, its the bomb diggity. As for reverting back, you should be making a nandroid backup in Rom Manager before every flash just incase something goes wrong so you dont lose anything. Flashing that nandroid back will give you your old kernel back.

No need for nandroids, if you want to revert to stock kernel, just grab stock from zip, extract boot.img
Reboot phone into boot loader/fastboot, 'fastboot flash boot boot.img', done.

[Q] Do I need to flash boot.img every time? (HTC refugee, so possibly really dumb Q)

So I cut my Android flashing teeth on the original HTC Magic, then to a Desire and Galaxy Tabs on the tablet front. Even cooked a few roms back in the Magic days (although was little more than mashing bits into an update.zip if I'm honest)
Anyway, I'm used to the scenario where, once you've got a viable recovery, you can thenceforth flash and backup/restore whatever you want without any need to plug the thing into a computer and do any messy fastboot stuff. I can't find a clear indication, but the vibe I'm getting is that in Sonyland one must always flash the boot.img of a new rom before going into recovery to install a new update.zip. is this right, or am I taking instructions designed for first timers too literally?

When you flash your first rom, let's say CM9, you will need to install FXP's CM9 boot.img(AKA kernel). Then if you wanna update your CM9 rom(IE. From Nightly 1 to nightly 2), you can use the same boot.img. BUT, if you want to flash stock based rom, like Arconium ICS, you will need stock kernel(Sony stock kernel, DoomKernel), if you want to flash stock based GB rom, you'll need stock based Gingerbread kernel(DoomKernel for GB f.ex).
When you go to the rom's thread, the developer always tells what kernel to use. If you have one of the listed kernels, you're good to go, just flash the rom itself, and no need to flash kernel again.
I hope I was clear enough

No, that's a valid question. I don't recall the explanation (if any) but recovery on Sony's phones can't modify the kernel for some reason.
While on other phones like your old htc, and even most samsung phones, it is possible to update the kernel from recovery.

[Q] Kernels and restoring a nandroid backup

After flashing a kernel, they say to do a full wipe (and then reinstall the ROM?).
My question is whether after the wipe, can I restore a nandroid backup? Setting it up from scratch and just the way I like it is quite tedious if I were to do this each time, plus download the apps from the market etc. My arc is my main phone so I don't have the luxury of flashing ROMs and kernels all the time.
Do let me know if that's possible. If not, can you tell me how you guys do it?
My arc is running Stock ICS 4.0.4 with an unlocked bootloader.

I believe you got it all wrong.... you need to do a full wipe before installing a new ROM (to make sure it works properly and nothing is left from the old one).... not a kernel... You can flash kernels as often you want without any wipes. Just dont forget the WIFI-modules (only of needed by ther kernel).

Just think about it, it would be pointles to delete evrething and then restore it back..
P.S.: sh*t I pushed the wrong button and thanked you instead of quote....

yea..there is no point restoring the nand after flashing a kernel...full wipe and fresh installing rom is highly recommended..
Best way is to tryout a kernel..if everything is well and good then better stick to it.
afterall wat do u look in a kernel? OC,UV, good battery life and smooth UI..once you attain all these then stick to it..
btw i have tried many kernels this month without doing a full wipe..i never faced any problem as such..i just uninstall all OC, UV apps just to be safe

Thanks for the replies guys. And an extra thanks to Antochrist for his mistake. LOL!
Another reason for my question was because one of the kernel developers said to do a clean install.
Let's say I flash a kernel with additional wifi modules. Suppose I want to get back to stock kernel and its wifi modules, do I just flash the stock kernel or do I need to do anything extra to fix the wifi?

Happy new years everyone!
I am pretty new to using custom ROMS and kernels and have made a standard noob mistake
which was forgetting to back up all the original software (ROM, kernel, etc). I realized this quite later
and though I have found the original ROM for my GT-P5110 I seem to have trouble finding the stock Kernel
(the one it had when it left the factory; 4.0.4) I did a search and have found my search-fu to be weak.
Can anyone help me find the stock rom for the GT-P5110 (Galaxy note 2 10.1)?
And one more thing, should I get the Galaxy S3 LTE vs. LG Optimus G vs.your opinion?
(I am in South Korea btw) Is Korean version is any different or any harder to root or to
flash a custom ROM, anyone have any experience?
Many thanks

But I did not get the Right Answer...

Thanks for the info that WIFI modules are included in the kernel and no extra additions need to be made.. I Don't know abt it ..
NOW assuming u now a lot abt Linux/Android could you please answer this for me..
- Does Restoring NANDROID
- Restore 'Stock Kernel' along with 'RIL file', RAMDISK - INIT### n stuff​
Which Hyperion users need to fiddle with..
But kernel and ram disk are stored in the boot partition so does NANDROID back that up too ?
and Can you help me with RIL file related info..
Thanks

NANDroid only backs up ROM. It doesn't back up kernel. Kernel is always flashed externally, it's the same with all Android devices.

[Q] Confused On How To Install A Recovery

I have been looking around for about an hour or two trying to find a solid tutorial on how to install a custom recovery to install new Roms. I flashed my phone onto Virgin Mobile on FH13. It seems to me that there is more than meets the eye to installing a recovery on this phone. I really don't want to mess anything up at all. Could anyone guide me the right way as to how I can get CWM on my phone? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

Recovery is packed into the kernel on this phone. Flash a kernel tar through ODIN if you want, it will trigger the yellow triangle though. If your already rooted you could use Mobile ODIN. If you already have some form of custom recovery and are just trying to switch up you can flash the kernel zip in recovery.
rwilco has pretty much every kernel for every purpose but since your on stock you will either want a repacked stock or custom tw kernel - http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/?dir=Kernels/Recovery Kernels/ICS
If your unfamiliar then keep asking questions. Our phone has a bug in its eMMC firmware triggered during format operations on the stock kernel as of Android 4.0. The specifics are detailed but all you really need to know is grab a kernel with a safe recovery, or even going as far as AGAT's custom kernel which has more work around in place to prevent a factory reset or rom install from turning your phone into a super brick.

Also new to the e4gt, im currently rooted on fh13.
say i want to flash paranoidandroid, which kernel (which includes recovery?) would you recommend?
also this is either flashed from odin (pc) or can be done through mobile odin?
then once kernel is flashed, i can then reboot into recovery, wipe and flash rom/gapps?
sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure!

My phone already has root. Everything else is stock. 4.0.4, build FH13, with no custom recoveries.
I don't understand what you mean in your second paragraph with "repacked stock" or "custom tw kernel".
I am completely lost as to where I should be going. My plan is to install this rom: http://goo.im/devs/Shabbypenguin/E4GT-Nightlies
How would I go around to getting this on my phone?
Also, what about this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810315
I am not sure which rom runs the fastest and most efficient. There are so many kernels for so many things, I have absolutely no idea which kernel to flash and how to flash it.
EDIT: So I have done some more reading up and I THINK I can starting to understand some of it. I assume the steps are to:
1. Install Mobile Odin Lite on my phone.
2. Flash the EL26 kernel on Odin Lite. Link to kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 (first kernel on the page)
3. This part I am kinda lost. Not sure if that kernel installed a new recovery or not. I assume I just reboot and go into recovery.
4. Nandroid a backup of my ICS stock that is on now? Can I even go back to this stock backup after putting on a new Rom? Which kernel would I need to install backup of stock?
5. Wipe data, dalvic, and install new Rom using instruction it came with. My problem is I want to run this Rom: http://goo.im/devs/Shabbypenguin/E4GT-Nightlies and it has no instructions. I assume you just wipe data and dalvic?
6. flash Rom, then flash Gapp? It doesn't have a link for any of the Gapps, so either I have to find a link to download Gapp or that rom already comes with it? Not sure.
7. Reboot into new Rom? Not sure if I missed a step or not.
Another question I have is with the kernels. Can I just leave it on the EL26 kernel for daily use of the phone? Say I want to install maybe cm10 next, do I just keep it on EL26?
Sorry for the spam of questions. I like to be 100% certain.

Best bet if your trying to install CM9 is to go to the EL26 CWM kernel as all of the AOSP rom instructions dictate. Using the EL26 kernel means your phone will only boot to Download and Recovery as it will only boot gingerbread roms.
Download the nightly you want to the device and then flash the EL26 CWM kernel in Mobile ODIN. After its all over with you might need to battery pull if you messed up booting into recovery and then boot into recovery (power + vol up). Install the rom. Install gapps. Wipe cache/dalvik but as I will recommend below you should just backup everything and a full wipe.
You can nandroid if you want but it will be making a copy of the ICS rom you have with the EL26 kernel on it so it is literally a restore to the point your starting from not where you were just before that. Its still a good idea if your afraid of losing things. I would use Super Backup from the market to backup your Contacts, Call Logs and MMS. Wipe cache and dalvik and all that. But realisticly you should backup your apps and data if you have Titanium Backup and start fresh just factory reset after your on CM9. Restore your apps with data (no system data) after that. A clean install will present the least of issues, even the Samsung updates from one rom to another are not without issues.
You can not boot anything but gingerbread with EL26 and once you install a rom you will be on the kernel with that rom. So you will have a Linux 3 android kernel with cwm 6 if you go with a CM9 nightly. From there you can flash the next nightly or the next beta etc. Older stuff will not flash from your new setup as AOSP roms have switched to a new device name in the build.prop.
As far as gapps here it is - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip and don't forget to put this on the device ahead of time or you will have to mount usb and transfer using the pc in recovery.

Ah, I read it twice and now it makes more sense. I have a pretty good idea of what to do now.
Put rom and gapp on phone, install EL26, backup, full wipe, flash rom and gapp, rom will install new kernel for me, then just reboot.
Last question, I just want to make sure. What exactly is a full wipe on this phone. I have done plenty of full wipes on the evo 4g. I am just asking because I hear some people have problems when they do a full wipe.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Sorry if I jumbled everything together in my post by the I was running out the door. But this Hurricanne has stopped that and I regret not taking my time.
Well what I mean is a factory reset which formats /Cache and /Data. When you install the rom its going to format /System prior to writing the new firmware/rom. /Data has all your user apps, their data and your information etc. This does not wipe the Internal SD or the External SD though at times a line saying it was does come up in CWM.
Just don't do a Factory reset on the stock kernel you are on now, its fine on EL26 its fine on the kernels that come with the CM9 nightlies. Super Backup apparently does app's now too. I have never used it since I have Titanium Backup Pro but figured its also worth mentioning.
A note on turning back. As I said before if you flash the EL26 CWM kernel you wont be able to boot the ICS rom installed on the phone. At that point to go back instead of forward you can flash the FH13 kernel in desktop ODIN or the zip in CWM and you will have the FH13 kernel instead of EL26 and be back where you were. But once you flash the EL26 CWM kernel your goal at that point is flashing your rom of choice in CWM and not things like booting the phone.
You should be "okay" coming from a dirty install just wiping cache. But you may never know if a problem your having is the rom or some left over data unless you go clean and factory reset. Its a choice and its also a choice you can make later as you can always reset later. I would back up anything important first before doing any of this. Not so much a worry about bricking, as just about any normal situation will be recoverable, but more so to the point of if you have to wipe the phone and start from scratch.

That clarified a lot, thanks.
So I did it all. I did a factory reset from the new kernel. did dalvic also. I installed the new rom and gapp. Problem is that once I reboot, it shows the Galaxy SII screen, then goes into a black screen. I can't turn it back on again, so I remove the battery and it can restart. Does the same thing though. I followed your instruction and http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
What did I do wrong? I am worried I messed up my phone completely.
EDIT: So I went back into recovery and it was now a new version of CWM. I did everything over again; factory reset, cache, dalvic, and it is doing the same thing. Boots up "Galaxy SII" screen, then a black screen. It seems to still be on in the black screen seeing that it doesn't "turn" on again. I can hold if for 15 second or so for it to reset and does the same thing. Why is there a black screen?

Sorry for not checking back. Your probably freaking right now lol but relax your at a good point everything is fine.
Either a bad download or the nightly you went with happens to be a baddy. I am still on 10/20 I was gonna flash 10/28 today but the weather is screwing with me. goo.im seems pretty slow today.
Download another, battery pull and hold vol up + power until it hits recovery then go into mounts and mount usb storage hook a usb cable to the pc and copy over another build. I would say try 10/20 just because it works pretty good but that won't stop another bad download in which case you have to try try again.
Worst case from here we can just odin you back to stock rooted FH13 or your choice of other. Your phone is fine from what you have told me so far. I can upload one of the builds I have if you think ti would help any.

Phew! I was pretty positive that I could still get back to something working, just my paranoid self was getting tense. I got 10/28. I guess I will do 10/20. Do you know what the other updates have? I would hate to install something that isn't working its most efficient.
Again, thank you so much. You were of great help! Good luck with the weather issue. Hope you're safe!

I stopped following chris's experimentals so i am not sure what the most recent focuses have been. The Nightlies have whatever code was commited. They are built automatically and can range from very stable to not booting at all. I dont have any of the links on me but someone can get it to you. Reading commits is not exactly 100% user friendly especially if your not a developer. But they often have clues. I would follow the CM9 Beta thread and the CM9 User Support Threads - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874374 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720771
I used to DL nightlies from work over 3g or 4g all the time and would get a bad dl and end up in situations where even my experienced self felt like I couldn't fix it till I got home and always got the phone running within an hour without the assistance of a near by pc.
I am uploading 10/20 to my server just in case its in Chicago so if your away from the weather it should be unaffected for the most part. Glad its not in NY anymore.

Good evening all. I hope this is the right forum to post my question about recovery for my e4g touch. I recently rooted my phone and my phone is currently on the fi27 build. Is there a recovery i can put on there now to go ahead and start flashing ruins, or will i have to wait for qbkng77 to post his video on you tube on putting cwm recovery on fi27 rooted e4g touch? Thanks in advance for the help!

I assume you do the same thing as I did. Get the EL26 kernel and flash it with Mobile Odin. I would wait on someone else to confirm that though.

Another really quick question. I want to overclock my phone. I tried using setcpu and the overclocker it came with. It only goes to a max of 1200 but I know it can go higher. I am guessing I need another kernel. What kernel can I use?

You either need a kernel with built in over clock support(you'd see the CPU slider go up to 1400-1600 automatically if it was). Or a kernel that supports over locking in tegrak, which you "load over clock module" with in tegrak.
Both Kuban kernel and some of Agats kernels have built in support, mine you need to use tegrak as I have not added built in yet
You can get them all in rwilco's (awesome) kernel repository stickied in development
