Hey guys. Ive been looking around and can't find much. I was trying to flash fauxs kernel through cwm and I just get stuck at the boot screen. In cwm it says flash successful have fun and then nothing when I reboot. It is the d00 one or whatever and I checked through terminal emulator. I'm running cm7 on bell. Thanks in advance.

unless things have changed in the last 2 days, you shouldnt be flashing any other kernels yet on CM7. you havent specified which kernel you were trying to flash, but you should be using the one that came with CM7 for now.

Actually, fluax has a 1.3 kernal for the cm7 rom. another thing, the rom comes with his 1.1oc kernal. so yes you can flash it, i can give you a link to the kernal if you want, and to flash a kernal you need to be sure its meant for that rom or it wont boot, if it is then just clear catch, some say dalvec or something in advanced but i didnt do that when i flashed the 1.3 for alien.
Yup the 1.3 was the one I was trying to flash.. I'm pretty sure I'd have to check. And I wiped only the cache a couple times, and also both cache and delvik. Does it usually take a lot longer on first boot?

The kernel that comes with the ROM has bug fixes that aren't included in the 1.3 GHz kernel. It's not suggested that you flash over it.

I was running miui 1.7.1 and tried to flash the .3 update and went into a bootloop. I odin'd back to stock using the atlas pit and eclair stock image and checked the re-partition box. Everyrhing went fime but now i cant go back to miui or the gb cyanogen tests!!! I try to flash and it starts then says instalation aborted everytime. I love the aosp roms and want to go back to miui if possible. Can anyone help? Comrom is awesome but im hooked on the aosp roms. Any help or ideas are welcome. Please and thanks.

My bad. Just realized what you asked. Im using red. The same one that installs with comrom 2.0. Do i need to switch to orange? And if so do you have a link possibly? Seems like i used red the 1st time to flash but maybe im having a stupid moment and forgot i switched to orange?

I can't seem to get the link to stick so go to jt1134's post on cm7 and in the first post at the bottom are 2 new cwm files...1 odin version and 1 zip file...these are to be used if having problems getting cm7 Or miui to install..if you don't have your pc handy download the zip file...flash it with your current cwm and then select reboot recovery and you will have the fixed one...then wipe data/cache/dalvik and try to install cm7 or miui...not sure what one you wanted to go to?

Pretty weird....but installing the new recovery isn't what actually did the trick. I did that, tried to flash and got the same error. Then was Finns try again and accidentally flashed the new otb kernel instead of cm7. Rebooted then said, what the hell, and tried cm7 and it worked. Thanks for all your help man. I really appreciate you taking the time to give advice!

Yeah, I tried flashing the "fixed" CWM as well and when I booted into it and tried to flash CM7, it gave me an error as well.
I ended up using CWM red (i believe) to start the install of CM7 and then that rebooted me into orange and did the install (if I recall correctly).
...all I remember is that it wasn't like my previous installs, and it wasn't like the steps that had been presented to me on the forums.
Yeah. Its odd. The 1st time I did it I did it from red cwm with no problems whatsoever. Then flashed my orb kernel afterwards. And from previous experience I always flash the rom 1st and then the kernel. But I'm just glad I'm back to aosp goodness for now. Lol. Don't care how I got there....just glad I'm there.

yeah its weird. i had a heck of a time getting back to aosp also. something about juggling red and orange and wiping in between all flashes that finally got me back where i needed to be.

As this is an mtd rom, you should be fine flashing this over CM7 in recovery. You may be able to get away with just wiping cache/dalvik, but you may need to wipe data, unsure about that. Probably best to wipe all 3.
Great job on this build. This rom is ridiculously fast and I usually replace Launcher2 with any new rom install, but this version is so smooth I may just keep it.

I definitely agree with you usually I wipe data. I notice less issues when I wipe data. I know people just don't want to reinstall their apps but if you got a backup with titanium it takes like five minutes to reinstall apps.

It comes with its on kernel. Just odin JT's fixed CWR for CM7 and flash away.

if you don't have it down to quickly rebuild your phone from scratch, what have you been doing all this time flashing roms? titanium backup all apps and app settings and restore after you set the phone back up, takes 10 minutes!
Is the glitch kernal compatible with this?

Hello everyone , now I know that there might be a topic on this, but im incredibly paranoid and I need an answer to my question . I have rooted, unlocked the bootloader installed RomRacers recovery and installed faux123's kernel (enhanced 1ghz no OC ) and I'm international (England specifically tmobile). I would like to know if I can install alien.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
This is posted in the Q&A section for the ROM:
"I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not yet designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel."
Now, from what I understand, you will need to pull the AT&T kernel from the build and replace with the international kernel prior to flashing.
So, in essence you can flash it, but not AS IS when you download it.
Don't install Alien. Its old, outdated, buggy, and there are many better ROMs that are being constantly updated and work with international.

personally I didn't think alien was buggy at all, but there are plenty of other newer roms out there. I'm currently on the current CM7 weekly , and have no issues.

It is possible to use alien unfortunately I am far from home and can not upload you my costume alien rom for international but you should be able to search for how to change kernel in ROM and make your own build but alien is far outdated I suggest either darksides rom (very stable very fast and very user friendly) or a cm7 build I personally liked the darkside with 1.3 oc cpu
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
thanks everyone!
and by the way, i flashed Alien, it was REALLY buggy, so i flashed Darkside
Or why don't you try WetDreams. This is his new ROM based on 2.3.6 instead of 2.3.5 on DarkSide.

By really buggy, what do you mean? Alien was one of the most widely used, and best ROM's when it was released. What was not working properly with it?
Also, you should give SUPEROSR a try. It's my daily driver right now, and has been the smoothest of all the ROM's for me.
I mean buggy because when I clicked settings, It didn't show. Manage apps, CRASH! it did not work well. And also just wanted to ask, if I download wet dream, do ihave to wipe cache dalvik cache and full wipe my phone? They are by the same dev right? (Same question For superosr )

It really depends on the ROM. You dont HAVE to wipe for most of them - HOWEVER - You'll have a much cleaner install if you backup all your apps (not system data/apps - NEVER do that) using Titanium Backup, and wipe everything afterwards. I use fastboot to wipe everything before a ROM install.
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Then boot into recovery and install your ROM (should have already placed it on your internal SD before wiping)
This eliminates most problems with a ROM install before they happen.
Since you've unlock the bootloader you can install any rom

Hello,
I dont know if it's really silly to post this,
but flashing CM9 and using three key recovery can lay you into recovery to recovery bootloop.
before, I use to flash [EH03] stock rom to overcome the problem.
I just notice a simple way, maybe some might be aware of this.
Here it goes,
First flash the following recovery from odin :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=556634&d=1301538947
and then once you are in recovery then flash a glitch kernel from recovery :-
dowload link :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488976
This breaks the loop.
I dont know how it works but seriously it worked for me.
if it doesnt then flash ths build, and you are done. this can also be use to switching cm9 roms easily rather then again going to stock.

If you are in a boot loop where recovery does not come up, how do you get to a point to flash?
hello,
you need to flash recovery from odin, so that you can flash a rom. it is mentioned on first post.
My Photon is rooted, unlocked, CWM 5.0.2.8, Running CM 7 NIGHTLY 7/22. I wanted to switch to MIUI 2.7.27 Official Port for the Photon. Downloaded the Zip and GAPPS for the ROM, Nandroid Backup, Cleared Data/Factory Reset, Formated /Data, /System, /Cache, Cleared Delvik Cache and The Flashed The MIUI zip TWICE... went REALLY fast only showed MIUI Logo froze and then said rom completed. Flashed The Gapps and Rebooted... it stayed on the Motorola logo with Unlocked on the top for a whole day... i really want to switch to the MIUI Rom.... what am i doing wrong?
miui uses an installer that requires a rom to be installed on the phone. you wiped the system. don't wipe anything before installing. you can do that in the installer.
there are three files to flash. base, options then themes. it's a great rom. you'll enjoy it.

The zip on miui.us is only the ROM. You should be able to flash it but you have the wrong version of cwm. You need to have either jokers recovery v3, twrp, or cwm 5.0.2.7. 5.0.2.8 is from ROMmanager and doesn't work for any ics roms

Why don't you flash a rom that you can flash from CWM and then flash MIUI?
You could reinstall CM7 or AOKP.
Once installed run the MIUI installer (without wiping anything before starting the installer), and then install Gapps. You should then be good to go.
Also, I think you should spend some more time reading about what you're doing. It seems that you may be on the edge of not knowing what you're doing. I'd suggest (at a minimum) the first 3 posts in the MIUI thread should be understood in detail before doing this again.

I'm not sure. I run AOKP. I think if you've got jokers revision 3 of CWM that you're fine.
I'm on 5.0.2.7-photon3. I think you're one release newer, but make sure it's joker's version and you should be alright.
