Very simple, flash through CWM just like you would any other ROM.
1. Download
2. Place in Root of SD
3. Go to CWMR
4. Install zip
5. Choose zip
6. Yes
7. (Optional) Wipe All
8. Reboot
Wipe all ....do or don't? What are the benefits of wipe all?

I personally don't wipe, but people say that it ensures a safer more proper flash. My phone's just fine and I didn't wipe when I flashed the modem and kernel.
Can I download the new kernel to my phone I don't have a laptop at the moment?

Probably... but over 3g? it's probably gonna take HOURS.
I have wifi that's pretty fast will that work?

I've downloaded a whole rom with poor signal in less than an hour so I don't see why a kernel would take so long.

Wait, you're downloading a kernel...you'll be fine then.
Just move it to the root of the sd card.
Another Question when u say download to the root of sd does that mean my external sd card?

yes........i believe
Does this method apply for flashing a modem too?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
yea it should be just like flashing a rom
Modems and kernels both flash in CwMRecovery just like a rom. Both need to be placed in the internal sd just like a ROM to flash. Although I keep a copy on my external sd and my pc for backups and recomend u do as well.
You can download them directly onto your phone but your chances of getting a bad download go up. To ensure a good download always use a pc with a known good internet connection. Good luck!=)

Im trying to flash a kernel from faux the latest one but from my understanding I have to have a custom kernel so do I have to get a new Rom I'm on stock ics soff unlocked n rooted ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
just download the kernel zip, go to recovery and flash it as you would a rom. You do not need a custom kernel or another rom
I downloaded it like 3 times n I did do that n nothing
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
did you do anything to check if the kernel flashed right? get "no frills cpu" from the market and check if it lets you go above 1.5ghz
Are you also sure that you downloaded the ICS Kernel and not the GB one?
When its about to install or before install it say faux ics kernel so I know for sure its version 007

I am Verizon ics, s-on, rooted, I have installed twrp. I became rooted by flashing the super user .zip... And I've also flashed kernels successfully... But I have not been able to get any roms to boot. I've tried atleast 5 different roms!!! What could I possibly be doing wrong? I am no noob soooo....

Have you tried a different recovery? Just to rule out that possibility

Yes.. cwm.. am.. I'm stumped. They all stick at HTC logo.. but all restore successful backups.

You sure you're using
fastboot flash boot boot.img
to flash the boot image?
Have tried counter strike 2.2? I I am so on with amon recovery and I have no issues
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Like scy said, you have to extract boot.img from the Rom zip and flash it in fastboot

If youre having the same problem I am, then none of this will work sorry. The problem seems to be the kernel, it installs but phone bootloops. The only kernel that works from me is zhp pilot' s 360. Give that a shot. I've given out on flashing any other roms than sense 3.6. This all started after I ruu to global firmware and flashed cm 9...

Probably really dumb...but how long are you waiting ? Most roms can take a minute to boot the first time ,which seems forever sometimes. I usually just put it down and do something else until its done.

Also some roms put a ph98img on Sd card, but you have to boot to bootloader after flashing Rom.

Make sure you launch your custom recovery through the command fastboot boot recovery.img Before trying to flash your roms boot.img
If you have permanently flashed a custom recovery to your phone, it cannot write to the /boot partition.
Also, after flashing rom from amon ra, reboot to bootloader, then use fastboot to flash the boot.img. After that, then you can boot to your home screen.

Like bigandrewgold said. Kernel and modules. When you flashed viper it has the modules for dsbsrw kernel, so you need to flash the modules for lk's kernel

If you want to use lk kernel then flash the ROM. Then flash the boot.img in flash image GUI. Than go back to recovery and flash the modules for lk kernel.

I am trying to flash stock recovery on my 32 GB SIM Unlocked HTC One? Can someone tell me which recovery to flash? The only ones I see in the sticky are for the DE and carrier branded models.
They are all the same

thanks for the reply. I am able to flash recovery via fast boot, but when I try to boot into it, it brings me to a screen with a phone and a red exclamation mark.
