Please forgive my ignorance - I'm coming from the droid x with unlocked bootloader and never had a Kernel option-
I flashed Beans' Build 6 and chose the Perseus Kernel, and loved it.
I'm trying out the Clean Rom 4.05, and would like to flash Perseus to try with it.
Do I have to wipe anything first? Do I simply flash this in CWM (after a making a nandroid)?
I'm guessing I just flash it from Clean Rom, but would love a confirmation first... Many thanks!
I love having a typo in the title... Teach me to post before my first cup of coffee...
Just wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the kernel . Also if you flash a new rom flash the kernel after the rom. But always wipe cache and dalvik first.

Many thanks!
I just flashed Beans build 6 which has the option of flashing the kernel in Aroma. Nice to know the proper steps if I need them though
I flashed Beans 6 on Saturday and flashed the Perseus kernel today. Wiped cache, dalvik and flashed...piece of cake.
Just installed Beans 6 with Perseus last night...really a piece of cake.

i'm looking for well explained tutorial on doing a fullwipe before flashing new rom.
thanks...
What phone and firmware do you have and what rom do you want to flash to it ?
before you flash it, make sure you do a backup of course in case anything goes wrong.
i believe you just need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
Depending on your phone, there are many ways to do a full wipe. You can do it manually in recovery, you could flash Calkulin's format all, or you could flash Virus Rom's superwipe (which is basically calkulin's format all flashed 3 times)
Thanks, I'm using 1.3 leedroid

Please forgive the noobish question..this is my 1st android product and I am still learning...
I am currently using Task650's rom version 5 along with the current pershoot kernal....If I want to move to Version 6
1. do i only wipe the delvrik cache,then flash version 6?
2. do I need to reflash the kernal after flashing version 6
3. what is the easiest way to backup all my apps if i have to wipe everything and then put them back?
i am using a rooted 10.6 wifi only...just really trying to get the hang of if there is an order to flashing roms and kernals like if i install a new rom or even update if i have to reflash kernal and reset setcpu?..thanks in advance.
download titanium back up ( free one from market), back up the apps you want
get into CWM, wipe/factory reset, clear cache. clear dalvik, flash, and done.
if you are on pershoot kernel, then you have to reflash the pershoot kernel after you flash V6 because V6 flashes a new kernel.
I usually flash rom first before i flash kernel, since ROM overwrite kernels.
you can just wipe dalvich and cache and you'll be good bro
Awesome, ty Task
Hello, im having trouble getting any custom ics rom to boot after flashing any custom ics kernal, I can flash a custom kernal and load up stock ics rom but then as soon as I flash a custom rom I get stuck on the boot animation screen and the rom doesnt boot up. Does anyone have any suggestions why its doing this? its rather annoying being stuck on cm7 when ics is the way forward. Ive tried every custom ics rom and kernal and the only one that works is stock, my bootloader is unlocked, ive ran out of ideas.
if u wana flash a custom rom first flash kernel and then flash custom rom by cwm. and make a full data wipe-factory reset
and also Wipe cache and Dalvik cache before flashing the rom

Hey,man.
Since you've unlocked your bootloader,I think you are able to flash any custom roms successfully.
So,did you fully wipe after flash the kernel?
take FXP rom for example:flash boot.img inside the zip -> go to CWM and fully wipe , install the rom -> reboot and enjoy.
Before flashing a rom, you are supposed to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. If you are flashing roms like ExMIUI or MiniCmSandwich you will also have to wipe system.

Im not new to installing custom roms, I know the procedure in installing a custom rom, the problem is no custom ics rom boots up using any custom kernal.

I do not know if this will work or not, but you can try flashing stock FTF file for your device and then go through the procedure of flashing kernel and rom again.
do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system
believe me I have tried everything and nothing works, cm7 works fine with a custom kernal so I dont know what the problem could be.

Did you follow the instruction:
1. flash kernel
2. go to cwm and do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system + delete from sd card all folders and files with dots
3. flash rom (if rom has the aroma installer follow the aroma instructions)
4. reboot phone (first boot is up to 10 minutes
Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,
Regards,
AJ
I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.
yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?

I don't understand why this wouldn't have flashed for you, other than AJK may not be a supportable kernel for this old rom. Tell me, what exactly happened the first time you flashed this old version of Alliance? I don't see where you mention that, other than you didn't read the instructions and installed CWM thereafter.
I know that the v2 goldieking built for us ages ago featured a kernel that was TWRP-based, so perhaps it's possible that didn't agree with your device.
I would say forget this old version and manually port v9 in the 9100 thread, using AJK 4.9 MicSwap. I can guarantee it works - I was running it myself a few weeks ago, it's a great rom.

i install the rom with ROM customizer with modem and recovery unchecked then install AJK 4.9 AOSP. Do i need MicSwap to make it work?
Update: Flashed the old rom with ROM customizer, Installed AJK MicSwap and i saw the boot animation but thats it

Yes, it has to be MicSwap. The AOSP kernel is for CM-based roms.
The Rom Customizer method should still work, but if it doesn't just flash it in recovery like everything else. If you do get it to boot, stay away from ALL of the mods in the OTA section of Customizer; they're not built for this version any longer.

For the 9100 v9, yes. But you also have to flash one of our modems.

I did that and lost my s959g's CWM recovery and got the i777 modem. had to reflash recovery with Odin.
Update: I installed Biftor's ROM on my s959g and love it so far. but I'm want to know if this ROM has NFC or Android beam since its built on the stock Samsung ROM but I can't find NFC options in the wireless and network side on the ROM. is it somewhere else in the ROM?
