nandroids have never backed-up kernels i dont think
i was guna say kernel flasher
you on cm7 or miui or a normal GB rom ??
theres only like 3 kernels for normal GB roms so could just download one and keep it on your sd, could maybe do the same for cm7 or miui but i know nothing about them though so dont know

Nandroid have never backed up kernel on our Samsung phones when using a Samsung rom. But had we had the partition layout like we have in CM7 based ron's, it backs up the kernel just fine. But you can't just go and restore a nandroid of CM7 any old time, you must be running CM7 based rom first.

I'm not sure if you can install it with the stock recovery because I use the ClockworkMod. You should just get Rom Manager from the market and flash it. It's simple. For Ext2 you can use it on a stock kernel fine with OCLF in the market. For Voodoo (Ext4) you need to flash a kernel that comes with it on a Rom that supports it. Like Bionix.

So, he can just flash Voodoo on any ROM, including stock?

Whoops. Learn something new everyday. It didn't work for me on stock JI6 though, so I figured you needed a compatible ROM.

Bionix fusion 1.1

To run bionix fusion 1.1 do I install bionix rom and the fusion 1.1 kernel? Or is the kernel part of the rom? Or is the kernel the samerthing as the rom?

If you downloaded it from the team whiskey website, it should come with the kernel designated by the name of the file (Stock, JAC, or KK). If that's the case, you don't have to flash a kernel separately.
All Bionix roms come in kernal flavors....they are built into the roms themselves.
Pick the version you want--BE CAREFUL OF VOODOO--for future flashes you will need to disable it. Don't forget or you will be in a world of hurt to fix it.

I have been told that yes, the nandroid backup will backup the kernel as well. My wife's vibrant has the hardware lock fix and it didn't overwrite it when I flashed Bionix 1.9.1 so I would assume you won't lose the fix either, just try to get into recovery or download mode via hardware after the flash to see if it stuck.

[Q] Restoring nandroid backup

Hi,
I made a nandroid back up before flashing entropy's kernel, and I have not made a backup after flashing the kernel. Is it possible to perform a nandroid restore even with a different kernel?
Thanks in advance for the help

Yes, but then you will not have entropy's kernel anymore.

I actually often use this method to easily go back to a kernel if I'm not satisfied with the new one.
I did it and it works perfectly!!
Thanks!!!

or if something doesnt work out for you, just reflash the rom without wiping...it will load the kernel on there for you...

Lol yeah prob not huh For some reason I was thinking he was on a custom recovery and wanted to backup whatever kernel he's got on his rom now.. oops
Oh look at that he was..

There are UCKH7 and UCKK6 stock kernels floating around. No need to back them up, they're out there already.

Reflashing rom

hi, i have a noob question, i dont know so much about repartitioning and other things, my question is, when upgrading a rom it does at normal procces (wipe data and install zip) . im taljking about for example ,i'm now in shostock 3 , it is android 4.1 and if i would back to cm9 , could i do that?. i have a nandroid backup of cm9, can i just restore this backup and i wont have problems without matter the rom i'm coming?, sorry for my english and thanks for the understanding.:good:
I'm not familiar with CM9, but the only issue would be if the ClockworkMod Recovery in the SHOstock3 kernel is compatible with the backup made with thebackup made with CM9. I'm thinking it might not be because the Jebo kernel in SHOstock3 backs up a pre-load partition.
Do You think then that is better flash again cm9 instead of the backup?
