[Q] kernel flashing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One noob question has been bugging me for quite a long time!
The thing is, do i have to re-flash the whole ROM if i want to change the kernel or can i just flash the kernel over the previous without re-flashing the whole ROM?

If the rom and kernel are compatible you should be able to just flash the new kernel. Wipe cache & dalvik..

IF you are in 4.2.2, make sure that the kernel which you have selected is for 4.2.2. Kernels made for older versions might not work with 4.2.2.

[Q] Quick question regarding updating.

Dear reader,
I've currently been using Cyanomod for 2.3.7 Gingerbread.
My phone is rooted and everything (which took a little while )
Everything is running perfectly fine, but i would like to update my phone to android 4.0+ (whatever the lastest compatible version might be)
How should i go about this?
Do i basically uninstall everything and start from scratch or is there an easy method to quickly update my phone to android 4.
Kind Regards and Thank you for your time!
I believe the answer us first to backup your apps with titanium backup if you need them. Then go to recovery and backup your current Rom. (always be sure to do this). from recovery wipe factory reset and dalvik cache. Then install your new Rom from zip.
You cannot install an android 4.0 + over another version. Always backup and wipe.

Do i need to re-root my phone when i install a new Rom? Or should i just install it through recovery?
Rom's are pre rooted (expect stock, stock BASED roms ARE pre-rooted), once you've installed the rom through cwm, it will be rooted and ready.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can easily flash a custom kernel (Based on ics, so it'll be compatible with ics rom) And boot into recovery, and flash a custom rom based on ics.
One last question, since i'm having trouble finding compatible roms.
Which one would any of you, recommend for me to use ?
I have a ST18i and i'd like the lastest compatible rom.
Thanks so much for the fast reponses and ofcourse the help.
Kind Regards,
Since you're using CyanogenMod 7 I would recommend you to use CyanogenMod 9.1 i.e. FXP 138 is the best in my experience.

If your finding trouble with compatible roms are you saying your getting bootloops when trying them?, because a different Android Version requires a different kernel, So if you haven't or forget to flash the kernel recommended or provided then that would possibly be where your compatibility issues lye as you will get bootloops if you don't and you are changing version. As Mikii suggested earlier.

Ahhh that must be it then.. I've been using the same kernel for quite some time now because it was quite a hassle to flash it. Different roms come with different kernels (at times). I'll have to figure out how to flash kernels again. Gonna check around the forums to see if i can find a suitable thread.
Thanks so much

The fastest way to flash a kernel is to use the program called flashtool, click on the lightening bolt, select Fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash find the kernel you want to flash and it should be done within literally 2 seconds. once Flashtool gives you the all clear, disconnect your phone from usb, restart phone, and there you go, the old kernel will be overwritten, and so will that kernel's cwm version, with the one from the new kernel.
Try FXP138

i would also suggest you to try FXP138 which is CM9.1 Android 4.0.4, Its pretty smooth and the brightness bug seems to be resolved:laugh: in FXP138 here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409053

Reverting back to ICS from leaked JB

Hey guys, need a little help here.
I know this is a silly question but still I wanna make sure, nothing goes wrong
I'm on leaked JB XXLSJ firmware and I want to revert back to ICS 4.0.3...So i just simply need to flash back the 4.0.3 via odin, right?
Because i read it somewhere, few people downgrading from leaked JB to official ICS FW had bricked their phones.
So i just need to flash the .tar file via odin or I need to do something extra?

What most suggest is to use a kernel without brick bug just to be safe, though many say it only occurs when going 4.0.4
When I went from LSJ, I installed PhilZ kernel where theres a function for a clean rom wipe (PhilZ settings i think its called)
Then after that to be safe I did the full wipe, cache partition and manually format /system and /data (don't wipe SDCARD)
Then installed an ICS rom again, its always best to do a clean wipe just to make sure because there will be differences between JB and ICS.
I've gone back and forth from ICS and JB many times now and so far everything is ok:good:

1)Download latest PhilZ Kernel
2)Boot to recovery
3)Flash PhilZ Kernel
4)Reboot to recovery
5)In Recovery - PhilZ settings - Clean wipe for rom install
6)Wipe data/factory reset
7)Wipe cache partition
8)Mounts and storage - Format /system , Format /data, Format /cache
9)Install your ICS rom

Dont be a fricking idiot, That will brick his device. You forgot to tell him install custom kernel after flashing rom.
Just go back into download mode and flash Siyah kernel (.tar) and then you will have custom kernel and ability to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Once this is done rom should boot fine.

Steps are like these..
--Go into download mode after flashing custom rom.
--put latest siyah kernel's .tar file into PDA and then flash.
--Wipe data/cache.
--Reboot.

Actually sorry my bad and apologies. Must have not noticed he specifically wants 4.0.3 not 4.0.4.
No real need to stay on 4.0.3 though when you can get rid of bug by flashing cutsom kernel on 4.0.3.

Im stuck in recovery after trying to flash back to stock and getting stuck in hidden, how do I get out of this dummies guide please.

[Q] S2 not booting. Stuck at start up whenever I want to boot to stock rom

Hi Guys
I just change my kernel from siyah to dorimanx kernel, and then I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 in the 2nd rom.
I made a mistake to install gapps for cm 10.1 in my stock rom (1st rom). After that whenever I want to boot to my 1st rom it just stucks.
I've tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache in my 1st rom but it still stucks at the Dorimanx start up.
My Phone is Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Kernel : Dorimanx v7.47
2nd Rom : cm-10.1-20130221-NIGHTLY-i9100
Please help me solve this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Flash your first rom again.
Rule number 1:
If you dont know what to do, wipe everything and start from scratch.

[Q] Kernel Question

I've looked through DNA Q&A as well as general Q&A but I couldn't seem to find the answer.
I'm running slimbean and saw that there was a recommendation to use a specific crpalmer kernel. I have downloaded the kernel and I saw its .zip so I may just flash it in my recover I'm assuming. Correct?
Also, what if I don't like it? Do I need to retain a copy of my current kernel, is it available here, or is it already in the ROM's zip? I looked at the ROM and kernel zip files and they both appear to have contents for boot.
Finally, is there an order to install the kernel? If my assumption of the ROM also having a kernel then i'm guessing I should install the kernel after the ROM?
Thanks

im stalking you lol.
yes just flash it make sure its the AOSP one if you are running slimbean. if you are flashing a fresh rom, make sure you let the rom boot up first and settle before you flash a kernel (or anything else for that matter). you probably wont dislike crpalmers kernel, but in TWRP you can make a back up of just the /boot partition, not sure if you can in CMW though. you could also dirty flash the rom.
and if you have more questions, just keep asking them on the same thread. dont start a new one, its causes clutter. also you can quote people and it notifies them, so they know you responded.

Well. I "soft bricked" my phone for lack of a better word. I used that kernel in the thread from slimbean and phone went black after flashing HTC screen twice...thank goodness for ADB reboot recovery. But I reinstalled back and all is well. Wish I could post in that exact forum.

Hi,
Can u d/l the latest aosp kernel from crpalmer.
Chk 2nd post of my slimbean thread. It was not updated.
Below steps for installing kernel only ::
1. DL zip file
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash zip file.
Make sure u flash ROM and gapps first. Let it boot up.
Then try with above mentioned steps for kernel

[Q] Im afraid to flash a rom, any tips to do it without pc

I bricked my sgs2 i777 because of rom manager, i paid for fixing my phone and i want to flash Cyanogenmod but im afraid to brick it again, so i'd like to know, an easy way to install a rom without PC step by step please. Thanks
Best advice i have for ya is to do a lot more reading before trying to flash anything.
There is a lot of info here in the stickied threads, etc. And as well in the more up to date threads. U will have to do some searching in the q & a and general forums, but it shouldn't be to hard to find ur answers. But u need to be sure of what u r doin before u do it, so u don't end up with a messed up phone again. There are members here that constantly help, but i think it is best to help urself 1st and then ask ?s later if ya can't find an answer or resolve an issue.

I read about Cyanogenmod but i cant find a post about flashing a rom without rom manager or pc, does someone know how?
Friend, you need to read/research... a lot. I don't know of a way to flash a rom using just a PC. But flashing CM is just like flashing any other rom for your device. Please read the thread of the rom you're wanting to install thoroughly (especially the OP) before proceeding.
And most definitely stay away from Rom Manger; it just isn't completely compatible with the i777.

Isnt there a CWM for i777? I found the app recovery tool that installs CWM but before installing it you see the SCARY rom manager logo, i researched a lot, but i dont know what to do, most of posts and videos are using rom manager.
On the i777 the recovery (in most cases it's CWM) is included in the kernel. So there's no need to install it separately.
The only time you'd ever need to install CWM manually is if you're trying to get from JB to KK. Is this the case? You state you want CM but you fail to list which version. More information would be helpful, such as what you're currently running and what you're trying to accomplish.

Im running at&t 4.1.2, i want to flash CM 10.2
OP,
Ok here ya go...
U can get Root with Framaroot apk (found here on XDA).
U can use Mobile Odin (available on XDA or Play Store) to flash a compatible 4.1.2 dev'd kernel, that includes cwm recovery (see AJK thread in Dev forum).
Flash the AJK kernel (boot.img) initially through Mobile Odin, then reboot into said cwm and flash the AJK kernel again (the whole kernel.zip) so that the capacitive buttons work correctly. Then reboot into recovery and flash ur Rom of choice, per that Rom's OP install instructions. This has been posted quit a few times by myself and others, specifically creepyncrawly. Plz continue to read up thoroughly in the threads i mentioned above and happy flashing. :thumbup:

It's not critical when you wipe. It's probably best to wipe before you flash the rom of your choice, though it can be done after. The worst that can happen is that it won't boot properly before you wipe, but the wipe will fix it.

So first cwm, wipe cache, dalvik, install ajk kernel and rom? Or install kernel, wipe and install rom?

From stock 3e recovery, you should perform a wipe data/factory reset, then install AJK kernel and the rom. You will not be able to perform wipe cache and dalvik from stock 3e recovery as far as I remember. But either way, the important wipe is wipe data/factory reset from within recovery.
Wow guys thank you so so much it worked i admire what you guys do but no i installed cyanogen 10.1 which ajk kernel is compatible because i think Ajk kernel noswap wont work anymore.
AJ has an AOSP kernel in the OP of his [Kernel] AJK thread.
