I have a EVO LTE running the latest OTA build.
Recently in the last one week , i am facing some random reboots in the night .
The device restarts and it displays a crash report too.
This happens every now and then and its irritating.
What is causing this and Is there a way to fix the same?
Please let me know
Custom kernel?

No its a stock kernel only.
Have you tried flashing another rom?

No Have never tried that ... I wanted to use it as a pure stock, so using the same way.
Does it have to do something with the stock kernal ? .. can i re-install the stock kernal or the boot.img file.
Let me know how to do the same.
I would try a fresh install of the ROM you're currently on, including a fresh install of all your apps. See if the problems persist and report back if they do.
I'd also check the development thread for whatever ROM you're on and see if any other users have experienced issues such as yours.

I am very new to ROM flashing in Android. Is there any guide on how to flash the Stock ROM in this device.
I looked at the development thread, its with way too much information and its confusing

Sorry, I misread your post and thought you were running a custom ROM. You're totally stock, right?
I would take a look at one of the links in Bigdaddy's signature. Lots of useful info there. I also have a guide in my sig that has some useful info

Would it be a good idea to get someone to make this to use between switching kernels.
I keep switching from geekniks and JTs kernel and just want to make sure nothimg goes wrong when switching.
I do a data wipe everytime I switch... Is that all I need to do?

You do not need to wipe data to install a kernel. That would get old real quick.
I use Titanium Backup Pro so its no problem.
I just wanted to be sure before I got a FC loop.

If you make a CWM backup while on stock kernel before changing kernels, does that not suffice?

Stock kernel exists and is downloadable from the "Complete remove Voodoo" thread.
Please keep questions like this to the General section as this has nothing to do with development.

90% of the topics in General are questions regarding Kernels and ROMS...
The fact it is about a kernel is irrelevant. He is not developing one, nor is he aiding others in the development of one.

This is my third Android phone and the first one that its a Canadian one. I used to have GS AT&T and just followed guides here because everyone had AT&T and no problems there. Now that i got Wind Mobile i dont know where to start. I did unlock the bootloader so thats one thing done right. Now all the ROMs i see in Dev section are based on T-Mobile version. Will i be able to flash them?

Whatever ROM you flashed go back to the original thread and look for the kernel.
The ROM i am using recommends CWMFauxKernelv007 but that did not help or maybe i am doing it wrong? I just copied boot file form CWMFauxKernelv007 and flshed it with Easy Kernel Flasher. Did it 2 times and still no Data.
Flashed stock ROM back and 4G is back. Looks like APNs are gone. Is that something i must do every time since i am using T-Mobile ROMs?
Is this rom working in turkey
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.

Hey,
Everything is installed and running, however i am wondering about just one thing.
Whenever i reboot my phone i get, right after imputting my sim code, a Unlock Network SIM message.
What is this and how can i solve it?
Regards,
(oops just realized i made a double post, apologies!)
Hey Guys,
I'm kinda lost and haven't found anything the forum that remotely resembles my problem.
I have a rooted EVO 4G LTE with CM10 JB 4.1. I'm sick of the ****ty camera picture quality and constant freezing while taking pictures (just freezes then the phone reboots) so i'm trying to go to a more of a stock rom that I'll just customize with launchers etc.
My question is, since I can't update the OTA from the rom, do i need to flash the new kernel and the stock rooted rom and if so what order? The other question I had if I do need to install the new kernel does it have to be in the root of the internal SD or external SD?
I tried flashing some of the newer stock rooted roms and none of them would work. I would get the message (bad) when trying to update through recovery. I thought at first that just meant a corrupted zip file but when trying 3 different roms that all said the same thing I thought maybe it could be because the kernel is different then what I have.
At any rate, if anyone could help with a link to some kind of guide (if anyone knows of one) or just some general directions that would be insanely helpful.
Thanks for any help offered!
Download the Rom of your choice. Pull the boot img from that Rom. That is the kernel you need to flash. The fact that your asking this question I would reccomend using the app " flash image gui". You can flash the boot img from your current Rom then immediately boot into recovery and flash the Rom.

Haha, yeah. Thanks! I like to dabble but I wouldn't call myself any kind of pro. I just wasn't sure if the rom would stay stable if I updated the kernel will still in the OS. Anyways, thanks again! :good:
Hey man I didn't wanna come off like I'm some kind of expert cause I know enough to get myself in trouble that's about it, but I have some expierence with a s-on device.
If your not sure just read some more. A good thread is "don't panic" in the Q&A section.

What is a Cubed Kernel? Is it the one that came with Droid DNA? I see version 2.4.2 floating around. Mine is 3.4.10.

You have to have a rooted phone to flash kernels. The Cubed kernel is a modified kernel for root users that gives you the ability to overclock your phone, better battery life and such. It is not the one that came with the DNA, the DNA is the stock kernel from the factory. Don't go by the numbers you see because they are 2 totally different kernels for totally different reasons...

I did root my phone through a very convoluted method involving imei numbers etc. I flashed the boot.ini and the cubed kernel yesterday and was able to verify it. I did not reset factory or anything when I flashed the kernel. Now it has restarted by itself for more than 50 times in 12 hours. I am trying to find the stock kernel.
Have anyone faced the same issue?:crying:

I get random restarts as well on Cubed Kernel - untouched, didnt even change the governors. I guess a lot more optimizing needs to be done to it to support the variations in our devices.

This is the stock kernel but just modified to be able to write to the system while booted. It basically is the stock kernel and will work exactly like the stock kernel does. To switch kernels, just do what you did before when you installed the kernel you're on now. Just make sure you flash the correct module zip in recovery after you flash it.

Does that mean that if we don't flash a cubed Kernel, we won't be able to flash for example a modefied or themed apk or framework.apk to our DNA ?
