Kernel/ROM install order

Probably a pretty stupid question but I'm doing some flashing today and I'm curious. Does it matter which order I flash the Rom and Kernel in? Or should the Kernel come first?

ROMs usually have a kernel with them, so install the rom, then the custom kernel you want.

Rom first, Kernel second! I don't know if it matters but I have never done it the other way. I always allow a boot up first when the rom installs and then reboot into recovery again and install the kernel Good luck.

Thanks, guy!
Will do.

when you install a new kernal, is there anything you need to do or does it replace the old one and most things should just work?

Provided you installed the correct one fo your phone it should work fine. You may notice things like longer battery life, enhanced speed on mobile networks and also the ability to change the frequency of the phones processor. I use an apex kernel on my GNex and it is really good.

If you install a kernel and then a rom, your kernel will be overwritten considering roms come with kernels

[HELP] WiFi not working on any ROM but CM 10.1

WiFi is not working on any rom except CM. I have wiped everything clean and done clean installs of Liquid Smooth 2.9 and AOKP MR2 and still nothing. I have event switched recoveries from CWM to TWRP and the GAPPS im using are 20130301. I am totally out of ideas here. I can live with CM but I really want to try AOKP MR2 as I hear it is quite good.

Sounds like you might have flashed a newer Kernel with update WiFi drivers. I've read where that's happened and you have to revert (somehow?) to the old drivers for compatibility. I think this was an issue in KT's kernals, but you might want to do some reading and research on your own.

I did download a bootloader package and flashed it with CWM the zip was titled boot_CWM_I747UCDLK3 could this be the source of my problem?

Could be. I'd go back and read the instructions and changelog for it. If it loaded a different driver, you will need to re-flash the stock wifi driver, not usually included with other ROMs. Not sure if flashing the modem files would include those either.

So where would I score the default driver?

I dunno. I suppose you could flash back to stock using one of the "toolkits" available and go from there. That would probably be my choice, but is probably the long way home, too.
Where have you looked so far? I don't use CM, so I haven't read those forums for you, but I would assume you aren't the only one to switch from CM to some other ROM.

[Q] Brand new sprint gs3

I recently bought, and finally rooted my sprint sph-l710. I have flashed two roms, hyperdrive, and moar roms. My problem is that i cant flash anything else, only those two roms. Is there a fix?

What do you mean you can't flash anything else? When you flash, are you wiping everything clean each time before flashing ROMs or are you dirty flashing?

yes, i'm wiping everything, whenever i try to install any other rom i have some type of error. i'm new to this so please excuse my noobness. i've tried to flash a stable cm10, among others with no luck.

Do you have the md4 boot loader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The new S3 have been modded by Sprint /Samsung and require a modded recovery in order to mount storage. The other issue is that you can not flash an aosp style rom. You should be able to flash any TW rom but it won't allow aosp roms to flash. None of the developers have a new S3 so until someone gets one ir someone volunteers one this won't be solved.

I believe so, but i'm not sure is that @ the end of the build number? If so, yes

If your getting a status 7 error that is the bootloader error flash this in recovery it will update all your firmware and bootloader. http://db.tt/Qt6NcH0a
After flashing this make sure you reboot the phone then try going back into recovery and flashing the rom you want.

strange because bootloop is related to corrupted rom or you are not wiping (3wipe) before installin new rom or old, i already test the kitkat Slimkat and to return to the 4.3.1 dirty unicorn the most cutomizable one and very good stability also, am using the classic CWM not the TWRP full touch version
so try to flash a CWM again then another rom

i cant even boot on 4.2.2... i want to go back and i cant, im stuck in 4.4.2 ._. plz help

You guys will probably have to Odin back to stock and then flash from there. Seems like something got corrupted with your upgrade into 4.4 I've personally gone all the way back down to 4.1.1 from 4.4 and had no issues. This was just to test a ROM but still.

Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?
Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?
I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.
I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?
Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.

well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings

did you check if the MD5 sum matched? the numbers on the download page and the numbers shown on Philz right before you flash anything...

yes an all matches up. Im starting to think its my device. i was sent a refurb from sprint an im wondering if the previous owner messed with it...

so i gave wicked x a shot an its way kool and the camera works. still clueless as to why aosp roms camera wont work. Let the fun begin lol. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it

I got the same problem with my GS3. Tried several different roms and different builds of those roms that people reported having no problems with and still no fix.
Going to try Wicked X see what happens.

Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol

camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device

I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS

Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.
I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
