[Q] Forgot to flash the kernel before installing ICS beta rom with xperia arc

Hi all,
My phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader, but I tried to install this rom today:
MooDeD ICS ROM v.4.0 / xUltimate v7.0 Engine [ROM]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717
But I forgot to flash the new boot.img (new kernel), wich I had to install using flashtool. Now I can't normally boot my Arc (I can understand why), but I also can't get into CWM recovery! So do I know have to flash the new kernel wich I had to do before.. or can I get Android 2.3.4 somehow back on my Arc? And if I flash the new kernel for ICS can I flash it back to the kernel for Gingerbread afterwarts? The new kernel is based on ICS beta btw.
I hope you can help me
Everything is working very well since I flashed the ICS kernel I am now running Mooded ICS rom v30.5 without any problems (few bugs in the rom, but overcomable)

I figured that flashing ICS kernel and install the rom again worked when I had flashed the kernel I could get back into recovery again Thanks for your reply

does the DoomLord Kernel work on a ICS rom? Or does it has to be the ICS kernell by DoomLord?! on other words on ICS Roms the kernel has also to be based on ICS?

That's correct as far as I know has to be ics

I don't recommend doomlord because it's a bit buggy, but there are plenty of usefull kernells. To make ICS work you will need ICS kernell

[Help] Stock ICS Kernel with AOKP JB KXP for Arc S

Hi guys,
I don't understand if the ROM KXP need a custom Kernel or if works also with the stock ICS Kernel, with bootloader locked...I'm referring to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859518
Anyone can help me about this? Thanks and sorry for my bad english

The ROM will not work with stock kernel. If you want to flash custom kernel you should unlock bootloader.

[Q] stuck on boot screen after changing fonts via font changer app. Need help

Hi, I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC one v (GSM).
After successfully rooting, i installed font changer app, and made a backup before trying out anything (backup from app's menu).
I tried a couple of fonts successfully and finally thought of going back to stock fonts. Hence i did a restore (restore option from font changer app) and then during reboot, the phone just gets stuck on htc one screen.
Since i never installed custom rom, i didn't take any backup of rom. I tried various options like factory reset and recovery options, but problem still persisted. In recovery mode, i the screen gets stuck with red triangle with exclamation mark.
Can you please help me out of this problem?

No reply from anyone

Which is the kernal ? boot.img in rom's zip or Hellboy (provided seperately in link)
Hi, i just downloaded Shpongle Rom and Hellboy kernel (HELLBOY-2013-06-29-4.2.img) from a link next to it.
Now my question is, the Rom's zip contains a file name boot.img
Is boot.img in rom's zip the kernel to be flashed or the HELLBOY-2013-06-29-4.2.img kernel to be flashed ?

[Q][Acro S] going from 4.4. back to 4.1

Hi,
I'm now on Kitkat 4.4 and want to go back to a 4.1 customs rom.
do I have to flash stock rom with flashtools or is it possible to install the zip with recovery?

Flash stock based kernel with recovery using fastboot and then you can flash the custom 4.1 rom from recovery.

Flash stock .96. For rooting flash .211 kernel, and then run Doomlords script and then install CWM before flashing the .96 kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417672
For .96 kernel and .211 kernel Google is your friend.
My advise is for stock 4.1.2.
God luck!
May I ask why you want to go back to Jellybean? Have you tried Mekoo? I have flashed Jelly bean more than I can count (I can only count to ten ) after trying KitKat, but after I tried Mokee I have been satisfied.

I tried mokee, cm11, beanstalk. They are really good... In mokee is a little bit to much in chineese... But in all Roms i Miss the FM radio... So i think i will go back

I don't notice any Chinese in Mokee beside in TWRP, but with Google that's manageable. Running the latest 4.4.2 version. Will install 4.4.3 Nightly today. I don't use the FM cause my favorite channel is only on DAB.

[Q] Noob questions about Kernel

Hi there!!
I'm about to unlock my phone bootloader, and i wanna know some things about kernels:
Can i "downgrade" the kernel. For example from a KitKat kernel to Stock (Jelly Bean 4.1) Kernel?
Can i use a KitKat Kernel in a Jelly Bean Rom?
If Kernel have CWM recovery, it still working even if ROM stop working?
I know that in Linux you can update to the lastest kernel in same distro and don't matters, but Android is "special"...
Now i've CWM for locked bootloader and it is installed in ROM instead in Kernel, then if ROM is damaged CWM can stop working. I think if is included in Kernel then don't matters what happen in ROM, but I want to be sure.
Thanks!!

I'm not really sure about question 1 & 2.
Answer for question 3:
Yes, the recovery should work even the rom is messed up.
Thats when bootloop happen .

1- Each rom has a specific kernel so if you want to install a kitkat kernel you can't install a JB rom so if you want to downgrade you can only downgrade the version of the kernel !!!
2-As I mentioned above you can't
3-Yes because the kernel is not damaged in your case so CWM will be working with no issues !!!

Thanks!!!, for now i'm still using a JB kernel with JB Rom. Waiting for a full working port of xLoud

If You are going to unlock Your bootloader in future, do remember to backup Your TA partition.
