[Q] My pc broke down lastnight and am not able to use adb. Is there a way to install kernels by just using the Thunderbolt?
If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it sooooo much. I'm just a basic user so I don't know much about installing kernels besides using adb.
Thanks in advance....

which kernel are you trying to install?
there is a new kernel, that you can flash through recovery, all the older kernels out there must be pushed through ADB.

I'm trying to install Adrynalyne's 2.6.32.21 [Latest Version 1.8] [Updated 3-29-2011]. I thought that all kernels had to be pushed by adb or installed threw amon_ra because of scripts. I'm glad these new kernels don't have to be pushed anymore. Thanks for help nosympathy!

Thanks for the information! Would we put the PG05img in the root of our SD card or in our / root directory?
Do these kernals need to wipe the data like installing a ROM did?

Nope. Just install and go! As a heads up: It's usually preferable to make a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery/ROM Manager before installing anything.
Well I have a backup of my stock ROM already. Should I let it back up my custom ROM as well? Will that erase the stock backup?

yeah you should prob take a backup of your current setup. the whole idea is that anytime you install something, you should have a backup in case the install goes bad (rarely does though). having a backup of your stock ROM is fine in a last resort kinda way. but i'm sure you'd rather restore right back to your custom ROM should something happen.
Can anyone do the Amon RA for Vibrant??? My bro have the evo 4g and he told me is better than Tom manager...
its a great recovery, but rom manager does everything we need, and does it well.
hit up amon on twitter, but I doubt he will do it.....
What's wrong with Clockwork?
It's because I don't know how to delete a kernel with the clockworkmod and mybro told me he can do it with amonra... you know how to do it without use Odin to revert to stock the phone???

why would you want to delete your kernel? just flash another kernel instead..

+1,
just flash a new kernel on top using SGS kernel flasher, its super easy.
Also, SGS Kernel Flasher can do a backup of current kernel, in case you want to go back after flashing a new one!
Amon_Ra is great (my N1) but CWMR is an awesome recovery...no need to go trying to fix what isn't broken.
I know that, I just want to delete it without flash another one...

im confused, why would you want to delete your kernel without flashing a new one. your phone would not boot....
One of us is really confused....guessing its not me
Really dumb to delete a kernel...wtf has happened to these forums?
I'd actually enjoy amon RA also, but cwm serves its purpose well...

Every Rom comes with a kernel, if you flash another one and you don't like it, you can't go back, you need to flash another one to change it... that's the point I'm talking about...

That's what you're supposed to do...or use sgs kernel flasher and backup the current before you flash...
you're confused man...what rom are you on?
Recovery is part of the kernel from what I remember. There isn't a seperate partition for it. Delete kernel u delete recovery. CWMR boots off SD if I'm not mistaken. I forget these things after 2days of parties XP

I'm currently using simply honey 4.0 rc3 and I've always heard good things about miui but it sounds very difficult to install. I have gb boot loaders so I'm not sure how to install it since they're aosp. Another thing is I've heard miui had inferior battery life to touchwiz roms so can anyone share any advice?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If u flash with gb bootloaders the external sd wont mount no big deal but I quickly grew accustomed to MIUI because its so customizable and I hated touchwiz and as for battery I flashed the glitch kernel and undervolted and I got about 12 hrs with moderate use and my battery was at 61% but I guess battery varys from person to person
Sounds good which miui and how do I backup my efs
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you can always just flash the froyo bootloader if you switch to miui and you won;t have the external sd problem

Yeah but the complex and tedious work to test a rom just seems a little out there so I wanted to know is miui really worth the big amount of risks I'm happy with my current rom but I've heard good things about miui

Tedious? all you do is put it on the root of your int sd card and flash it...then odin back to stock if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms.

Thanks for the advice although I'm not a noob I've been a root user since they released cupcake on the g1 I just needed to clarify a few things before I tested miui now to figure out why my odin displays mandarin maybe because the boot loaders are chinese?

Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906. Download image, boot phone in Flashmode ( Vol down + USB connect if i remember correctly ) , and flash it. The software is pretty self-explanatory.
It's always good to keep backup, if nothing else but to revert to stock/earlier Rom without losing all data.

One of them is a torrent, I would recommend that, even though I downloaded the Indian ftf. I don't think it makes a difference which one you use, especially if you're going to switch to a custom Rom later.

could someone please make a torrent of .110 (india)?...because in the link above the torrent if available only for the global version.
Does it really matter if its India ? Just out of curiosity, would there be anything lost if we were to flash, say global ?

Technically it shouldn't. There was a huge rush to flash the Indian version, at it was the first of the Sola ICS' on XDA. Loads of people flashed it, irrespective of region. I guess it doesn't matter as in case we ever need to give back to Sony, they'll have bigger issues than checking which version of stock we're on. I'm not really sure though
have kept the global version to download...maybe it will take a day or so and i can flash only then
ftf for .110 is downloaded. can someone tell me how to flash it. i also downloaded flashtool.
