[Kernel][Kexec][aromaKLflasher] Kernel Lighter (KL) Beta 11[Change Kernel WITHOUT PC] - HTC One X

Please Don't Quote This Post,
It's Just way too big and would make any comment look stupid,
Thanks
Just When You Thought Your Favourite Dev Is Out Of Ideas... He Comes Up With This
ok so alot are complaining how we can't flash kernel away from the pc among other things (which ill get to later ), (mostly @One-X-master)
so i looked for a way to get around this and found Kexec as the answer.
Wiki said:
In computing, kexec (kernel execution) is a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows "live" booting of a new kernel "over" the currently running kernel. kexec skips the bootloader stage (hardware initialization phase by the firmware or BIOS) and directly loads the new kernel into memory, where it starts executing immediately. This avoids the long times associated with a full reboot,and can help systems to meet high-availability requirements by minimizing downtime.

however, with that comes managing online hardware which is somewhat problematic,
thus that prompted few people to come up with an ingenious solution called Kexec-hardboot.
Kexec-hardboot:​This works by loading the kernel into memory and force restarting the phone with new kernel.​
All of that with some ramdisk tweak allowed me to set a kernel at boot and restart to it,
avoiding having to flash it in the 1st place
Updating the kernel is called flashing..
A Flash is also what precedes Thunder
its also refered to as Lightning, Thus I came up with the name Kernel Lighter
Lighter= To Set Things On Fire/To Ignite (The Kernel)
Thus this is a kernel igniter
I Know, i've got to much time on my hand.
If you have a smart name, please do suggest.​
Special Thanks:​ @Tasssadar: For His N7 Port, which made this port a breeze and for his help in debugging.
@Alex-V: Currently using his kernel as Base Kexec Kernel.
@Androguide.fr: For his recovery-less flash method.
@amarullz: For His AromaFM Source Code.
@LlabTooFeR: For His Stock Kernel.
@faux123: For His Kernel Source.
@mkasick: For The Original Port.​

Reboot To Recovery --> Flash Modules
Reboot
* For zips to be listed, they must be placed in /sdcard/modules/
* otherwise click browse and happy hunting​
Something Went Wrong:
Let say the phone wouldnt boot during kernel update after using the app,
the best solution would be to go back to stock kernel, look at the recovery flashable zips in Extras section,
If none seem to fit, try another custom kernel
if you still had no luck booting, you should try flashing that kernel through fastboot and see if it makes any difference.​
Warning!!
Note: All the zips provided are flashable through both The App & Recovery... but I recommend recovery
BUT DON'T FLASH THE KEXEC (KL.Zeus.img) KERNEL THROUGH THE APP or Recovery,
as it will continuously boot itself over and over and over again.​

i made a small typo in one of the files..
after flashing zip
do this
adb shell
mount /data -o rw
echo /data/boot/Kernels/Stock/boot.img-zImage>/data/boot/kernel
echo /data/boot/Kernels/Stock/boot.img-ramdisk.gz>/data/boot/ramdisk
Will Fix Zip soon

this works on both sense 5 and 4+
i had this running for almost a week now on sense 4+
and just moved to sense 5 and thought it will be a good time to release this.
The Stock kernel comes from sense 5 ROM

I know, but back to 4.1.1 is not a solution for me (Sense 5 is the dealbreaker with AOSP ROMs )
Another Question, if i change to AOSP, it will work too? or must we flash (an not realeased) Kexec AOSP kernel? (i ask not for me, i ask for everyone on AOSP with ORD xD )

you dont have to go back to 4.1.1, this will work with sense 5 rom
if you want to use AOSP you must follow the custom kernel guide.

Ahh, (my english is bad..) i think we misunderstand each other, i asked for an Sense 5 kernel.zip to try your "Flash kernel in Recovery" Solution, it exists not so many Kernel.zip with the "Flash Kernel Script" to flash the kernel in recovery... I hope its clear what i mean

this wiil be work on maximus 21 ?

Yes

im not 100% sure, but if you're looking for the zip, its in the 2nd post
the 1st time you must flash the kernel through fastboot AND zip through recovery,
later i will make an app that will work to replace kernels.
but even that all will require 1 flash through fastboot.
NOTE:
the zip contains to kernel, one that you flash in fastboot
one that will be copied to /data/boot/
the 1st is kexec which will boot the one in /data/boot/

Not clear enough xD, this (the kernel.zip) was not a request to you, it was an request to somebody to make me a flashable kernel zip, as an example repacked Alex-V kernel for Sense 5, to test this.
Its late here, so my explanation will suffer, sorry for that.

so far as far as i hear,
only trips kernel work with sense 5

Thanks, sorry for my poor english.

EDIT: Now we can flash kernel without a PC, testet and it worked.

So, we can flash kernels through the rom itself by replacing boot.img in data/boot and reboot, can't we ?

[KERNEL TOOL] Multi Kernel installer - ARHD 7/9 - WINDOWS/LINUX/MAC - discontinued

I'm not updating the scripts anymore, only use it for private ease-of-use. Feel free to use the scripts, copy / modify, if you have any ideas or want to work with it. Thanks for the support, but there are more (better) tools available at the time now.
Cheers, Maseo!
==========================================
Hello Folks!
So you're running Android Revolution HD and you want to try a differtent kernel ey?
But you don't know how to flash a kernel, which modules you need or you're just plain lazy (like me ) and want to have it done for you.
I present to you, my Multi kernel installer!
*Works on Windows XP, Vista, and Seven, Linux (Ubuntu tested), Possibly Mac (need testers..)
Want to see a working demo?
Windows:
Linux/Mac:
How does it work?
It's a batch file that uses ADB and fastboot for pushing modules and kernels to your HOX. I've added an option to select different kernels and it will push the matching modules pack as well if neccessary.
The script pushes the modules to your phone, so you dont have to CWM flash them, and writes the kernel through fastboot for you! You only have to run the script!
How to use the file:
If you have dropbox, sync this folder, to your dropbox account. This way you'll be up to date when i add more kernels and/or options.
1.B If you don't have Dropbox, register for a free dropbox here. It's the easiest way to keep the files in sync for updates, plus you'll get free 500mb of extra storage.
1.C Or if you use Google Drive: click on this link
Make sure your phone is on, USB debugging is enabled, and you're on ARHD 7.x
ONLY FOR WINDOWS USERS: Run RUN_ME_WINDOWS.bat, Follow the steps. If done right ADB will push the modules (if necessary) to your phone, reboot, and install the selected kernel.
ONLY FOR LINUX/MAC USERS: Open the MAC folder and run linux_test.sh in terminal, Follow the steps. If done right ADB will push the modules (if necessary) to your phone, reboot, and install the selected kernel.
Done!
If you have any questions, just leave a comment in the thread and i'll try to get to you as quick as possible!
Any tips, remarks or feedback is highly appreciated.:good:
Happy flashing!
Special thanks to:
Mike1986 for making his amazing Rom!
GuyAdams for repacking all the kernels and moduls, tips and feedback.

I'll get right on it. Seems the Rar-file is borked. Should be fixed now.
Which windows version are you running on? It works fine on vista and 7, but could fail on 2K and XP due to 'choice' being left out.
Try running: RUN_ME_WINDOWS-NT-ONLY.bat
- Removed Faux's 003B9 because of the bug in the Kernel replaced it with 003b10
Great work mate, I'll update the kernels thread OP with details.

after kernel flash, why not reboot to recovery and cwm flash modules if required...so that the user will not manually flash it..just a thought

The script already flashes the modules through ADB when you're running it, and flash the kernel after. No need to manually flash the modules

See it like this: your phone is a car. Your ROM and default kernel present the engine.
A different kernels updates and tweak the engine. Giving it more features, possibly better (battery) performance, a smoother experience. Etc.
The good thing is you can always go back to the default kernel by re-flashing your ROM or selecting the default stock Kernel from my installer.

Just a question:
On ARHD 7.1 the Franco_R11 (which I see is 7.0.0) will be fine ?
In case of issues, I just flash over it the stock 7.x , right ?

FreeXperia team for their work on CM
makes it perfectly start does not make any errors
greetings and thanks
yes it boots!
(maybe you can help with my Question here )
Hey, I also have tested several times to include recovery, but withut succes, didn't get any further then a booting kernel without recovery or vibration and LED on to enter recovery but no entering recovery and kernel that doesn't boot.
Please pm me if you want to work together, I saw your kernel is from ICX team? I know nick very well so I'd would be a pleasure to work with you too

Welcome Champ, good to see you mate.
I will leave the thread here as knowing you, you will have a kernel ready for us in a few hours.:fingers-crossed:
thanks for the test guys... so now i'm diving into including recovery....
good to know i could pull off kernel.elf editing in my first attempt lol
@colossus if not in hours, then definitely within 1 or 2 days
EDIT :
can someone send me the kernel.elf from FXP122 cm9 ??
will save me the time to download the whole ROM

Frequencies and governors are one possible customicing for kernels, for the most users the most important thing. also Kernel modifing can allows you init.d support, undervoltscripts and also allows (or denies) MSC support... and, for shure, clean out some tings, make things more efficiently and and and... a dev is nearly totaly free to create a very customiced kernel with or without special Driver support or so

Flash HTCdroid 2.4

Hi All,
I would like to install the custom rom of HTCdroid 2.4 to my HTC One V.
Currently the HTCdroid 1.2 rom is already installed on my phone, but I suspect I'm not using the correct kernel. The opening post of the topic explains how to install the rom:
1. Download HTCdroid_vX.X.zip from the link above.
2. Flash HTCdroid_vX.X.zip
3. Boot into bootloader and select fastboot, and flash the latest CharmKISS kernel.
4. Reboot.
5. You're done =P
I have a question regarding flashing the latest CharmKISS kernel. Where can I find the download link for this kernel. Or is the included boot.img (in the HTCdroid_vX.X.zip file) the CharmKISS kernel to flash? Or do I just need to flash the HTCdroid_vX.X.zip, and the kernel is automatically recognized?
The openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-primou is already installed.
Can someone please explain me how to get the CharmKISS kernel, and if I need to flash this manually, so it's not included in the HTCdroid_vX.X.zip file?
Thanks for your help!

May I ask you what kernel are you using right now? Imho it is really not necessary to use exactly CharmKiss kernel. Some of us (including me) prefer other kernels compatible with a stock ROM (e.g. Titanium Kiss). I think TK kernel is a bit more stable but this may vary case by case and depends on a user experience. You may try both to get your own experience.
Oh yes, here is the link to Charm Kiss kernel if you will decide to flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487113
Look inside the Sense folder. Stable or advanced is your own choice. =)
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
If your phone is S-On (by default): you have to flash kernel using adb command through a usb cable.
If your phone is S-Off (it's not necessary but you can make it): the kernel (boot.img) included within a ROM package will be flashed together with the ROM itself. No extra step is needed to flash the kernel.
By the way, you can use some utilities to flash kernel, ROM, etc..
In example, WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit or OneV All-In-One Kit.

If your phone is S-Off (it's not necessary but you can make it): the kernel (boot.img) included within a ROM package will be flashed together with the ROM itself. No extra step is needed to flash the kernel.
By the way, you can use some utilities to flash kernel, ROM, etc..
In example, WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit or OneV All-In-One Kit.

It seems the current one is already a CharmKiss, but sometimes this one is unstable.
The current kernel is:
3.0.100-Charm-Kiss-Advanced
[email protected]) )
null
I will give it a try with the Charm-Kiss-20131020-stable-3.0.16.img kernel, or do I need the OC variant of it?
Hopefully the stable variant is more stable than the advanced one :laugh:

It's up to you. If you are looking for stability, choose stable versions. OC (overclocked) might be stable as well but there is a higher risk that something will go wrong.
And if you will not get a full satisfaction with CharmKiss you may try TitaniumKiss Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765687) as well.

WorkAround: MultiRom + Kernel Panic on Secondary Rom

Not sure if im posting in correct area,
If Posted in wrong area, my Bad..
Ever since MultiRom come out for D851, People have been experiencing Kernel panics with the latest updates from the CM Sources. (Not everyone, But Most)
The method I used below has worked with no problems with me. I cant say it will work with everyone. But it worked for me..
I know installing a Full Kernel ZIP file on secondary rom can either take 45 mins or longer, or not even work at all. (My Experience.)
But the method listed below, only took 5 secs and worked perfectly..
Now I just wanted to post a work around for the people that are experiencing Kernel Panics when using MultiRom..
Example: you install CM-12 as a secondary rom, Reboot and it crashes with Kernel Panic,
Work around: This awesome Kernel: Optimized SM-4.9.3 Kernel V2.2 for D855/D851/D850/LS990 http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-optimized-sm-4-9-3-kernel-t2976049
Take that kernel and unzip file. Then in Multi rom settings in TWRP-MultiRom goto list roms.. Pick the Rom with the kernel panic and Then remove Boot image..
click on the add boot image now.. and then goto the unziped kernel from above, Find the boot.img and click on it.. it will add it.. takes only a few secs.
Reboot.. Kernel panic is now gone..... (Becides, that Kernel works great)..
Note: that above example is for Lollipop only.. I havent tested it with any other kernels.. Most kernels that I unziped had that bump stuff listed for the locked bootloaders.
and no correctly listed boot.img So.. it wouldnt work...
You can also Make a Backup of your current working boot image and then flash that into it, Havent testing it like that, but should work the same.
The other work around I heard posted is:
Install to primary ROM then move to secondary rom.
Thank you for this. I have been flashing RIN kernel after any cm12 I've installed since installing MultiROM. Seems to work too, but the hour long wait to flash a 7mb kernel really bugs me.
Next time I flash a cm12 as secondary I'll give this a go.

Or you can try the tootsie-pop test kernel. I implemented the multirom patch into it tonight. If everything works fine it'll be been bumped into the stable kernel and be included with bliss pop and Resurrection remix ROMs.

Yes from what I have tested it works with any Compatible flashable Kernel that unzips and has a boot.img..
The above kernel that I listed on post #1 is Stable but is overclockable, If you dont want that.. Then dont use that one, It was only listed as an Example.
I use that kernel with no problems.. I dont OC my phone, but its nice to have the option to do so.
Ill test out the tootie-pop kernel the next time I feel like messing with my phone.
Now isnt a good time, Im sick, and I have already messed up my linux system and my windows system (windows 10 Enterprise build 9926).. Had to do a fresh install on windows.. my linux doesnt want to let me mount my own drives in gnome.. Says I dont have access do to some error, But I am running Ubuntu Vivid 15.04.. so thats to be expected..
So touching my phone isnt a good idea right now.. I might just end up blowing it up the way my luck is going.
Thanks to the OP. This was a quick and simple fix to a frustrating issue.
Sent from my LG-D851
After doing a little research, and finding out that the MultiRom is pretty much dead. I decided to delete it all together and stick with the one rom that seemed
very stable and likable for me. I wont say what rom that was as to respect all developers on this forum.. So I stopped all testing and experiments dealing with MultiRom..
If the Developer once again decides to post updates and fixes. I will again. try it.. but for now.. I will no longer post any workarounds or help with this MultiRom section anymore...
As you know that thread was closed in the ROM Development section..

Sexy kernel question
Hello . Is it possible to create a version of the set selinux permissive . Alternatively, if there is any init.d script that is changing. Greetings

Hello,
I did it and i can share if you want but you better use init.d to do this:
Create a file named 07setpermissive in /etc/init.d folder with inside this simple code, and give 755 permission to this file (with a root explorer).
Code:
#!/system/sh
setenforce 0
Reboot, and it's done (SELinux is set to "permissive"). If you want to disable it, you can tape in a terminal emulator;
Code:
su
setenforce 1
If you really need, i can share the same thing done in ramdisk.
I would be grateful for it
For many people this will be useful . I would appreciate it if he had se linux kernel permessive

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the scripts in the init.d do not work, so it just me . I created a script to test init.di was not a log file . When installed with supermarket universal program init.d script then she began to move. I installed both kernels and nothing

Did you give the right permissions to your script?
What does this script (code)?
permission is ok
Script :
#!/system/bin/sh
echo init.d is working >> / storange /emulated/0/initdsupport.txt
Using the program -> script starts , uninstall the program and stops working script
Sorry for bad english

Try to write in /data, it should work
echo "init.d is working" >> /data/initdsupport.txt
None of this after the change does not work still , but with the application from google play test log appears and init.d works. I give up. If I ask for a hint

with this application works

It didn't work because the path of sdcard is not good in your script.
If you want to write log in sdcard (internal storage) the code must be
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "init.d is working" >> /mnt/sdcard/initdsupport.txt
instead of your
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "init.d is working" >> /storage/emulated/0/initdsupport.txt
I just tested it, and it works well with my moded 20p ramdisk, without need of another system mod.
You just have to use /mnt/sdcard instead of /storage/emulated/0
App you are talking about is an emulation of init.d (not real init.d, as ramdisk supports), it uses install-recovery.sh.

Can I install any of these kernels over one of your previous 5.x ROMs ( such as Androidnow HD). Or do I need to install the entire new ROM ?
If I can install just the kernel then do I need to root it ?
Many thx

Hi,
I don't know if i understand well your questions.
I didn't test all possibles combos (all possibles shared stock or based stock) roms with these kernels (ramdisks) moded, i think you can understand that
You can easily test it and report the result if you want, I (we) 'll be interested to read this.
For that, you need to know how to flash a kernel (custom recovery is the best solution), how to backup the one you used before, how to boot on custom recovery with hard key for eventually restoring this one you backuped before, how to quit a secure boot error screen (removing battery) that you can meet with a bad kernel, and, of course, that root is really needed for doing all of that.

Hi 6ril1 and thank you for your response.
I probably wasn't very clear. What I wanted to know is whether I can install just the 20p kernel on phone which has a rom with an earlier kernel (like 20i or similar). Would the 20p kernel have any issues with a ROM designed for an earlier kernel. Up to know I used Seven's Androidnow HD ROM but unfortunately he has pull out support for newer ROMs due to some asshat distributing his ROMs without consent. The last ROM he had was 14 but it wasn't fully optimised. I am using his earlier 10.3 Androidnow HD ROM. So I was wondering if your 20p kernel will work ok with having to install a whole new ROM.
Cheers

Hi,
Just try it, after the usual precautions (Make kernel backup before in custom recovery. It means backup boot partition)
Flash kernel, and if it doesn't work on your rom, restore the last one you backuped, that's all
I tried it with an older lp stock with succes (these moded boot worked with older stock firmware).
As i answered you before, if you have a security error screen (following by a black screen without any possible acces) on boot with the new kernel, remove battery, reboot in custom recovery with hard key combo (=> buttons power + volume down, release when logo appears, and again power + vol down, until custom recovery acces appears), and restore your previous kernel that worked. As simple like that
Of course, prerequisite is that you have twrp installed.
