Heya everyone,
I was wondering do we have to flash the kernel every CM update?
Because in the week 42 release, there still was the boot.img you needed to flash in fastboot mode before the CM.zip..
Yes fxp said so

Which miniloader are you using? V1 or V2? Go to miniloader page and download older version.

i think u should try the new CM9 rc1 or Ressuruction Remix v2.5.2 and u will for sure will forget 2.3.X since they also come with lot of tweaks and themes and u have OTA update facility with RR 2.5.2 just check those thread once and then decide
If you are going from ICS to GB with out wipe, you get boot loop
I solved this problem..flashed ics bootloader ,i will move to ics after few weeks...

Hello guys.
At the moment, I'm using siyah kernel 4.0.1 with dual boot of CM9 RC2 and slim ics (2ndry). Now I want to update from CM9 RC2 to the latest stable release.
Can I flash without data wipe/ factory reset and having all apps and settings still there?
Thx for reply folks!
Btw: great platform!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah. there's a guide to dual boot with siyah. I believe you would just go to the dual boot settings in cwm recovery and flash the updated zip to the first/second rom.

Thx. Made an backup via cwm, then flashed the newest CM9 version. Everything went fine. I only had to reflash siyah kernel cause it installed the cm kernel while flashing.
Can be closed!

Anyone der to help me... I wanna flash my rom but am away from a pc... So cant flash kernel
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
I think it's better if you find a pc to use to flash it, 'cause you can't do it from it from the device itself if you don't know or don't have the recovery installed...
you can use but with minor edits to source
I have the recovero.... It seems información will need to flash the kernel from pc..... Cause when i flashed Cm 9 without the kernel that came in it my phone got stuck in boot Screen....... Luckily i had a nandroid backup

i cant excatly guarantee for it to work because we need minor changes in source to fit in the different api so ... this just might be your case why not ask someone to upload the kernel for you
I guess the only way to flash it by using the kernel i got in the rom..... Btw thanx for the reply apprentiate it

You definitely can't use the CM7.2 kernel for CM9.1. There are a lot of differences between the two since one is GB based and the other is ICS based.
boot.img
please can anyone tell me in detail , what is boot.img for??????
Boot.img contains all the files required for the device to boot such as kernel and ramdisk. Without it, the device can't start. Boot.img when flashed, will copy all files to the /boot partition.

Boot.img is the kernel file

but many phones use 2.6 kernel for both ics and gb so just the defconfig differs ...

That's partially true. For example, ICS ROMs for my HTC Desire HD used the 2.6 GB kernel as there was no official ICS kernel update from HTC. But the 2.6 ICS kernels required a lot of hacks, forward ports from various ICS kernel branches and backports from GB to work with ICS. For lack of a newer kernel version, the 2.6 kernel was used, but it was very different from the 2.6 GB kernel. It took months of hacks and hard work for devs to get everything working on the ICS ROMs with the 2.6 kernel. After Jelly Bean was released, it would have taken a ton of work to get the 2.6 kernel to work with it and not everything would have worked properly. Fortunately, Team Virtuous made a custom 3.0.xx kernel for the Desire HD all on their own, effectively making any kernel update from HTC's side useless, even if they did choose to release it. Another dev took this kernel and improved upon it like hell, and now we have perfectly working 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
Of course, I might not be fully right about this because I'm no developer, but I've been following the ICS and JB threads for my phone for a long time and this is the way development was for it.
Im was on Gingerbread stock rom recently.... Then i flashed it with cm 7.2..... But now i wanna try Cm 9.1 so does my phone needs to be in stock ics rom before i can flash cm 9.1 or can i just flash it over cm 7.2???
And one more thing.... Is it neccessary to flash the kernel that came with cm 9.1????

You don't need to be running stock ICS to flash CM 9.1 .But you have to do a full wipe before flashing CM 9.1. And yes you definitely have to flash the kernel of CM 9.1.
All you need is a custom recovery to flash whatever version of Android that's available for your phone. You don't need to be running a stock version prior to it. And you need to flash the CM9.1 kernel before flashing the ROM. Kernels get flashed along with the ROM usually, but some phones need the kernel to be flashed separately due to partially unlockable bootloaders. When the bootloader is fully unlocked, the boot.img can be flashed to the /boot partition in recovery itself. But for phones with only partially unlockable bootloaders, the boot.img has to be flashed separately using a computer.
Thanx for the reply..... I have an u locked boot loader but i guess in Xperia devices kernel cant be flashed with Cwm recovery.......
