[Q] I can't install a new kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have VK rom v5.1 installed running Siyah kernel 3.3.1 with some tweaks (I mean using extweaks app) and I've tried to install a new kernel, just to see which one is better batterywise and there's no way, just no way. After wiping cache, dalvik and also clearing init.c folder (which is usually done by defect when installing a new kernel, well, moved), I have tried with NEAK 2.0.5x and 2.0.6x and nothing. I've also tried with speedmod k3-20 and nothing either, it wont boot past the first Samsung logo!!! What can I do??? Any ideas?
I've also done factory reset and reset the extweaks profiles that I've changed, but still nothing, It won't pass the Samsung logo.
(Just another thing. I did change the dpi from 240 to 210 on the build.prop which was worked like a charm and updated from Siyah 3.2.8 to 3.3.1. Thinking that it could be a problem of any kind and desperate as I was I tried as well changing it with no improvement at all).
Cheers

Yep, I was with that one already. Nah, it's not working. It flashes and everything, but when I flash the new kernel it gets stuck on the samsung logo again. I'm starting to think that the kernels are corrupted or sth, but I've tried 3 already and all of them with the same problem. Is it possible I am using the wrong kernels? I mean, the rom is ICS standtard, custom samsung rom, is it not?

Yea i believe so. Have you tried flashing a completely new rom altogether? With a full wipe.
You can also try to fix permissions in cwm

Full root box AOKP? I'm not sure what that is...just flash the entire AOKP ROM. It will flash over the i9100 Fluxii, then you can download and flash the correct version.
I downloaded the root box aokp rom which is what I thought was the i777 version. I'll re-download this version when I get back home.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
Are you talking about Task's AOKP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718 If so, just reflash it in recovery. Reflashing AOKP uses Task's CM9 kernel and it'll overwrite the i9100 version of Fluxii you installed.
reflashed aokp rom. now im getting numerous process errors. android keyboard has stopped working, rom control has stopped, process.android.phone has stopped. have went into CWM recovery and re-installed zip and wiped davlik data, partition data. only other thing i havent done is factory reset. i even unrooted and re-rooted to get it back. now im getting the i-9100 boot logo with the yellow triangle.
Yikes. Did you happen to make a Nandroid before flashing? If not, you may have to return to stock. You also might want to get on IRC and try to get someone to help you real-time.
i just connected it to my computer, removed the other roms that i had and some other unneeded files, like the i9100 files, did a factory reset, re-installed the rom from recovery, reinstalled gapps. so far i havent gotten any process errors. still have the i9100 boot icon but i can fix that with the triangle away from the market. sucks that rootbox isnt going to be made for i777, i checked the thread and bajee confirmed he's only doing it for the i9100 or the s3. so im s.o.l on that. is there a way to get the fluxi kernel though? or is it stuck with whatever rom ur using?

Um, how about going to the fluxi thread, downloading it, and flashing it? If you don't know this stuff, you shouldn't be flashing anything at all.

You did ask a very simple question. And the very simple answer to your very simple question is readily available in the forum stickies.
If you think flashing kernels an flashing roms are completely separate processes, you don't understand as much as you think you do. Did you know that every time you flash a rom, you flash a kernel too?
And no, I don't know everything. But having knowledge isn't the key...the key is knowing how to acquire the knowledge you need.

Update: after installing the ROM, phone told me my sim card couldn't be found.. Same problem which made me root the phone in the first place. I mean the stock ROM had very same issue on my phone. I tried few different modems, no luck. On top of that I got extended battery kit and the new ROM ate battery from 100% to 0% in one night in idle mode. Went back to cm10.1, now all working again

[SOLVED][Q] Will re-flashing a ROM return the kernel to stock?

I am running Paranoid Android 3.0 and today, flashed the 'Siyah S2 v5.0.1' kernel with the hopes of overclocking.
After rebooting, I am just getting 'com.android.phone has stopped' and my phone completely freezes.
It wasn't until then that I read on the paranoid-rom forums that PA only really works with the stock kernel.
Therfore, I am just wondering if I re-flash PA, will the kernel return to the stock kernel?
Also, will I have to do a factory reset when re-flashing?

Yes if you gonna reflash the rom it will return to stock kernel .
And it'll not gonna erase your data only if you wipe something like data or a factory reset.

[Q] WIFI doesn't work in XXEMD3 firmware

i tried wanam XXEMD3 and stock deoxded XXEMD3 with Googy-Max 1.4.6 kernel
i don't think its problem of kernel because i used it on XXEMD2 which is all fine.
today i flashed wanam XXEMD3 and when i running setup and connecting WIFI it keeps reports "Authentication error" or something , i think that's translation.
i thought it could be problem of ROM , and then tried stock deoxded XXEMD3, same , i figure maybe WIFI password i typed wrong ? although it's highly unlikely
and then i restored back to XXEMD2 with recovery , WI-FI works all fine ...
any idea ?
You should look for a wifi fix for your kernel or your ROM. This should to it. If there isn't any you should go to support of kernel or ROM. They should be able to fix this if no wifi Dix patch exists

first of all i thought it might be some MOD or kernel causing the problem so i only flashed ROM but problem remains ...
even same ROM , this time i flash it might be fine but next it could go wrong ...
It's an intriguing one. I assume you've tried full format of /system etc so I can't think what else it would be. Please update us if you work it out

Port i9100 ROM to i777

Hi, I know various methods to "port" i9100 ROMs to the i777 (stock-based ROMs), but now I don't know because I want to port an AOSP-based ROM and Stock method doesn't work. So can anyone help me?

Quickest and easiest method is to flash the rom first, then while still in recovery flash a compatible kernel, then flash one of our modems.
Remember to do the necessary wipes, and follow any other instructions a kernel might need for its own installation.
That's it.

I did this:
Wipe data
Install AOSP i9100 ROM
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Install AJK 4.9 MicSwap Kernel
Reboot Recovery
Reset STweaks Profiles
Fix permissions
Install MODEM AOSP 4.1.2 i777UCMD8
Reboot System
And the ROM didn't boot up.
Also tried with AJK 4.9 AOSP and the same.
Am I using the wrong kernel?

You're not doing the factory reset and formatting /system. Those should be done before flashing ANY roms, let alone 9100 ones. It's making me a bit nervous that you didn't do this; you shouldn't be flashing things on your phone if you're not sure about the proper steps.
In any case, AJK AOSP is the correct kernel for AOSP roms.

Wiping data is not the same as performing a factory reset, and you shouldn't always trust a rom to format things for you.

That usually means you're using the wrong kernel for the rom you're on. What are you trying to port, let's start with that.

That's an older version, might not work with our current kernels, but the one to try would be AJK 4.9 mic swap (which I think you've tried already). MIUI roms are notoriously finicky to port, btw.
Still, why port this yourself (with lots of trouble, it appears), when there's already a v5 MIUI port in our own forums?
