is there any way to flash kernels without connecting our phones to pc?
a friend of mine had an HTC incredible s that could flash kernels on it by the phone only. is the same thing possible on SE mdpi's?
I think no.
Unfortunately, certainly not.
Hi
If you have a zip format flashable package containing a kernel, way shouldn't you?
When you flash a ROM, you flash also its kernel.

ROM isn't same as kernel. Kernel is medium between hardware and software. Same as you can't change ROM while phone's turned on.

Wrong, when you flash a rom you don't even touch the kernel, I guess you were talking about flashing a ftf file via flashtool.

Is it possible to extract the ROM from the stock firmware? In particular..
I9100PBVLP6_I9100PORALP7_ORA.zip
or has anybody already done this?

What?
ROM = Firmware.
Do you mean kernel?

No, I want to be able to flash the ROM as you would a custom ROM from CWM
I am currently trying the dual boot function in Siyah and wanted to use the stock ROM as a primary ROM. I have cloned my primary ROM (Dragon ICS 2.4) to secondary and wanted to have the stock Orange ROM as primary.

I see. So you're asking for the Orange branded stock ROM in a CWM flashable zip file?
A would not the answer to the q be to flash stock rom via mobile Odin .

That looks interesting.....don't think it will have the ROM i'm after, however I only really needed the signal boost apk. I can live without it!
This thread you linked to will definately come in handy
Thanks
Hello all. I decided to install Hybrom on my Xperia mini pro (sk17i) but i'm little confused at the moment and don't know what to do. I have installed CM 7.2.0 rom with FreeXperia kernel. If i want to install the Hybrom, i just need to flash stock firmware via flashtool, install Clockwork once again, then install some custom kernel like Rage and then install the rom? Or do something else? And do i need to relock the bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Install stock firmware, install kernel, install ROM. That's all. No relock needed. Custom kernel already includes Recovery so it is not needed.

And when i flash firmware, wipe is automatically done so i don't need to do it manually?

Flashing stock firmware - if you choose it in Flashtool, then yes.
Custom - no, you have to do it yourself before installing the ROM.

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer, but I have one last question. Does the firmware already include rom and kernel, or rom only? And do I have to install newer baseband to it to make the custom rom work?

Stock firmwares in .ftf file already include ROM and kernel both.
Most custom ROMs have their own custom kernel that you need to install yourself. Sometimes it is written in the topic as separate download link, sometimes it is included inside the .zip file, then you need to extract it and flash via fastboot. Check my tutorial, if you need help with it.
Baseband will depend on the custom ROM.
If I'll delete the modem file from the any ROM's zip file, it will install everything fine except the modem?
Same thing with the kernel file into the zip?
There is no problem to delete the modem file (where is kernel file @ the zip?) and flash it without modem - cuz I want to keep the modem I've got instead of flashing again the modem.....
thanks!
I assume you are talking about stock firmware here.

Not absolutely sure but this should work. However it is probably better or easier to go the other way: flash the entire firmware and then revert to the kernel/modem you prefer. Kernels and modems can be individually downloaded either to be flash with CWM or ODIN.
The kernel of a stock firmware can be found in the corresponding I9100_CODE.... tar file. If you look into this tar you will find a file named zImage, this is the kernel.
Thanks mate, I'm talking about a custom ROM (AOKP based)
if its possible to do this ,,, ?
[VIA CWM]
If you flash a custom rom and you end up with a modem you don't like you can re- flash preferred modem separately after you have installed the ROM. There are several threads here that have many downloadable modems to choose from. All the best.

yeah, i know mate, but just curious to avoid this action (of flashing other modem again, even though its a pice of cake) if i'll delete the modem.bin file from the ROM's zip file // or kernel file .... if it will flash the ROM without any issue (without the modem/kernel file that i've deleted from the zip)
I see, I'm sorry I can't advise you on that as I'm a noob myself and have not started at altering ROMs prior to flashing. Sorry.

Most roms do not include a modem. (Well all the proper roms). And like previously stated, just take note of what modem you have and just reflash it in cwm recovery.

I have reinstalled the rom several times using default settings. Wifi will not turn on. Wifi works fine with Stock DNA debloat Rom. 3g/4g works fine on Viper Rom..
I am sure this is something unique with my particular phone' Any suggestions?
I am prob considered a noob. But can read and follow direction.
Thanks for any help

have you flashed a different kernel (Boot.img), then you should use the flash is included in the rom

Had the same problem, even with s-off need to flash it's boot image in fastboot with adb-it will then work fine..
and you have to flash the kernel "modules" to get wifi to work

Right. The boot.img is not the important part. If you want a different kernel, then flash the boot.img for that kernel. You only need to do this once. BUT! When you flash new roms, you need to reflash the wifi modules for "EACH" kernel, everytime you flash a new rom. So, save the wifi modules on your phone somewhere, and when you flash a new rom, just flash the modules again after the rom finishes before rebooting system.

Perhaps true but flashing the boot image if you have not done so worked...at least it did for me.

So root, you are saying that the ops need to make it clear to flash the selected kernel (boot.img) before flashing the rom? I'm under the impression that most have already selected a kernel and flashed that before flashing the rom. Sorry if I assumed wrong.

Most roms have a kernel included in it. And if it hasn't been updated since s off came out then you will need to flash the boot.img in the thread to get everything working.

This is what I understand to be correct and what has worked a few times for me. S-off was supposed to eliminate this but not if the rom was written before that process was available or not specifically updated after-which is most of them at this point.
thanks
thanks for your help. all i needed wast the correct kernel. thanks again

thanks, i found the correct kernel, flashed and now wifi is fine. thanks
To echo the above (for future searches). If you have WiFi problems reflash the kernel and they should go away. This worked for me (and others obviously). The ROM does include the kernel but for whatever reason I just had to reflash it. The kernel can be found in the ROM's thread (separate file).
i want to change kernel lupus to mesa, do i fresh install the rom again after flashing kernel or just flashing the kernel?
No need to fresh install the rom, just flash the kernel in fastboot.
But make a backup though just in case

But should i delete files in data/local/temp folder first before changing the kernel or not?
