So I've done this before but it was long ago. I don't remember having to deal with having the PH98IMG.zip. I know there are tons of threads on here but I just kind of need a straightforward answer to the questions. I like to install my roms from the sd card. Where does the PH98IMG.zip need to reside? And do those need need to be changed per the rom? Is this actually the kernel? And so do I have to have my rom on a particular spot on my sd card? I've used CMod recovery LOTS, but that didn't work so well, so I put Amon's on, and it's working. But every time I have tried to install a ROM like I used to with my Inc, I end up stuck at the HTC screen.
Someone whos got some time to just answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Yes, the ph98 file is the kernel. Most roms include it in the Rom now and use Cons auto installer, but if not yes the file needs to be on the external sd card. Just remember to delete it after you boot up or else you wont be able to reboot to recovery.
So basically have Rom and ph98 on external sd, reboot recovery wipe and install Rom. Then boot to bootloader and it will automatically detect the file and ask you if you want to update. Select yes, then reboot. Once booted up remove ph98 file from sd card.

Also, if you are getting stuck on the white HTC screen most likely you need to flash the kernel for that ROM. If you are on a GB ROM you need a GB kernel, ICS needs ICS kernel. So if you switch from one to the other without flashing the kernel you will get that issue.
The kernels are usually the PHzip files. They can also be flashed in fastboot by pulling the boot.img out and using the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I have tried both Ineffabilis and BAMF, which I thought they both had the kernel in them. But I still got stuck at the HTC screen. I'm trying to figure out what I am missing. I know how to install thru the manager. I tried it from both the ext storage and then the internal storage. Wiped cache and all that jazz.
I shouldn't have to remove the rom from the card to reboot should I? I never did before. I just checked and yeah they both have the kernel.
I'm perplexed.
Thanks for answering tho. This is buggin the crap out of me.
You know I have had troubles getting my computer to show my ext card...I wonder if that has something to do with it?
I don't have to mount anything in the Amon's recovery do I?

Sorry I didn't see your response, It must have been in between my edits. Thanks for the response too
These two roms tho, they have kernels in them, according to the write-up on them.
I did previously flash a kernel. It would have been a GB one.

So I should be able to just flash those and it should reboot as normal right?
*edit* I just re-read your post and I wanted to make sure I understood..maybe this is what I need to understand. SO if I am on a GB rom, do I need to flash the ICS kernel ONLY before I put on a ICS rom? We didn't have to do that before either with Honeycmb/GB, at least I don't remember....I think I'm gettin too old for this stuff. lol

Yes, you only need to flash a ICS kernel when flashing an ICS rom. I think I read that the kernel autoinstaller isn't working properly on ieffibilis. I know I had trouble and had to manually flash the stock OTA kernel to get it booting . I then installed incredikernel beta 6 afterwards.
Nvm about comment on ineffibilis, I just clicked your links and both are ICS roms that you tried. I bet for whatever reason the kernel didn't flash properly so you still have the GB kernel so it won't boot. Actually, both your links show that the kernel needs to be downloaded separately hence the separate link for the PH98IMG file. Download that separate kernel for whatever rom you want to flash and start over.

I did have one of the kernels but I didn't do it first. I'll try that and see if I can get something running. Thanks for your help guys. It's kind of starting to come back to me now. lol I never did really mess with using diff kernels much, just roms. And using Amon is kind of throwing me off.
So flash the kernel. Then the rom. And delete the kernel off the card after installing it. Got any suggestions on a good kernel? Looking for stable.

I put both files on external SD, reboot to recovery.. wipe everything , flash rom.. then back out to main menu in recovery and choose developer menu.. then select reboot to bootloader. Once,in bootloader select fastboot.. it will then check the sd and recognize the ph98zip file and ask if you want to update..select yes and it will install the kernel then just select power to reboot and you should now have rom and kernel installed and it will boot fully into rom. Then remember to remove that ph98 file off the SD card.
I usually just stick with stock, but I have had good luck on ICS with the overlocked stock unsecured kernel that is overclocked to 1.7 . GB , I have had really good luck with incredikernel and anthrax, but anthrax is a tad touchy.
Thanks so much for all your help. There is so much to read thru.
Flashing now!!
I dunno what the hell is wrong, but I just can not get this thing workin. I followed your explanation to the T. I'm sitting here with the white screen again. I watched it flash the kernel so I know it found it. I've never had this much trouble flashing/romming.
I'm trying a diff rom now. I don't know what else it could be.
Holy crap. Wtf. Still nothing. Tried both the above roms. with BAMF kernel. White screen every time. Damn.
Have any ideas anyone? lol

Here try this .. download Nil's newest ICS rom, put at the root of the external SD card, reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, then flash rom. His rom will automatically install the kernel and reboot you into fastboot so you can update the kernel.
Nil's rom's are as stable and easy to install so if you have trouble with his something is wrong with your install process .

K, I'll try it right now. I'm gonna throw something if this doesn't work. You said at the root of the sdcard...would that make a diff cuz I put mine in a folder. But not the PMimg file of course.
You know, something else I noticed that you mentioned, it doesn't ask me if I want to install the kernel. It just does it.

Yes, don't put it in a folder. Then , the kernel is not being flashed correctly. It would ask you to update in fastboot and you would have to push volume up to select yes.
1. Download Nil's rom and place at the root of the external SD card.
2. reboot to amon ra recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe Dalvik
4. select flash zip menu
5. select the Nil's rom zip and it will ask you to push power to confirm. push power and confirm and the rom should begin installation.
6. Once the rom , is done installing you will be automatically booted into the bootloader then fastboot will be highlighted so push power to confirm. It will then begin scanning your SD card and find the ph98zip file Nil's rom installed.
You should see it parsing.. then it will ask you if you want to update volume up to confirm (yes ) so hit volume up.
It should then show unzipping..installing and done. Only option should show to press power to reboot phone.
7. It will reboot and then should load rom and kernel now correctly.

Yeah see all the other times I installed the kernel, it never asked me, it just automatically went thru the list searching, and would find it and stop when it found it, and install it. Or maybe it stopped and just skipped it?
Now when I installed this rom, I see that it installed the kernel correctly. And yes this rom is working and installed just fine. two things different. Not putting it into a folder, and the way fastboot behaved with the PMimg file.
So do you have any ideas what would make it do that? The PMimg file? There isn't really anything I've done different. I rename it, and put it in the root of the card.
And now I am assuming I can install a rom over this one without changing the kernel, right?

Well, technically you would install a different kernel for the particular rom, but since most of the ICS kernels are basically all the same you would probably be ok as long as its another ICS rom.
Definately have to reflash a GB kernel if you go back to a GB rom though. Not sure why the others didn't work as long as you renamed it correctly to PH98IMG.zip it should have worked the same way.

If you were putting the ROMs into a folder, it wasn't flashing the ROM. It was however flashing the kernel and that left you on a stock GB ROM with an ICS kernel. That's probably why you were getting the white screen.

Now I can't get into Amon. Jeez. I'm gettin too old for this stuff.
Nevermind. My fingers are gettin tired from doin this. lol
You'll want to make sure you go into settings, power, and uncheck fastboot. If it's enabled you'll have to pull the battery to use power and volume to boot into recovery. Or you can use an app that will allow you to boot into recovery from the power menu when you long press power. Some ROMs have this built into the power menu. The fastboot setting keeps the device from powering down all the way.

Yeah, I've always had it built into the power button menu, but especially with the way the Rezounds buttons are I would think they'd make that a priority. Thanks for the tip on the settings. I didn't know you could do that.

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.
Hi,
First of all, im a bit of a noob.
Second, i have rooted my phone, a SG2 GT-i9100 XWLPD.
And no matter what i do, it just wont succeed to install roms, every ones i tried, get stuck on boot screen. i have remembered to wipe.
Then i go to CWM, and install again, cause i read somewhere you maybe should do it twice. nothing.
Then i reverted to stock, that works.
Tried again, nothing.
I have tried
Thebyani_v4.3_ICS
Spike.pure.ics-v7.4
Villainrom 2.4.2
All to XWLPD.
What to do ?
Not sure what happens when you try those roms, but you can try the ICS Reseruction ROM which is the best ROM out there for SG2. Here is the link to the ROM page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
You can install it using the following steps:
-Reboot into recovery (CWM)
-Wipe Data / Factory Reset
-Install the Main ROM
-In recovery go to Advanced
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Reboot
-If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue
-When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot
-When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)
-This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.
Enjoy!!!
Thanks, ill try that..
I really wants a battery saver rom, if you know any better ones.
Edit: Didn't work, starts up, goes to samsung logo, with the triangle, goes to ICS siyahkernel, then it reboots to recovery mode (CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4)
Any advise?

Get used to work with Odin, that's all!
Just read, there are so many descriptions out there!
Second, if your phone was delivered with ics (lpd) do not attempt to flash a GB ROM (vr 2.4.2] since it will not work with an ics bootloader!
Some ROM's are not running as standalone, they are mostly offset roms based on cm9 examples are slim ics or Clean blank ROM, don't know whether the roms you named are like this.
So, all you need is Odin (or mobile Odin) and a ROM in .tar.md5 format.
I recommend litening rom 3.2 which is fully deodexed and close to stock.
Good luck!

Or you can try NEAT. It's stock and has gr8 battery.
I don't think it's the roms... u might do something wrong... follow the steps:
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Factory reset
3. Wipe cache, dalvik, battery stats
4. Install the rom
5. Reboot system
I always do that and never had a problem.
Good luck!

If you really want to save battery, go for phenomenal kernel extreme and use ki3 /ki4 modem, check my sig for bloatware which can be frozen.
Ps: if phenomenal extreme will end up in bootloop, use medium version, best approach, dl them both before flashing extreme

Just DL 5.5 Medium zip and extreme.zip, go to cwm and flash extreme, if boot stucks, wipe cache and dalvik, if its still not working, go to cwm again and flash medium.
if you DL them to the phone directly, rename it after dl cuz on the phone the name will be phenomenal5.zip in all cases!
If you use odin, dl the .tar files
Not too hard or?
Okay, ill do that, i will use odin.
Thanks again

Great, which one ? extreme ? If yes, lucky you!
For further Battery Improvements, use BBS and post a dump in the desired thread.
Please do not use any benchmarks, they will not give you the best results on this kernel, as long as the phone is smooth, everything is fine!
Yes, extreme one

Okay, so I was having phone problems, and decided to give my phone a factory reset. I went onto my TWRP recovery and reset, but I accidentally reset EVERYTHING, including my ROM, Kernel, Android_Secure, and everything else. So basically all I have is a recovery. I am on hboot 2.0.9.
I downloaded the stock ROM and kernel from the internet. I tried plain flashing it to TWRP, but I always get the same error
"Error: Kernel not installed" Nothing installs. I tried installing the kernel (boot.img) from fastboot, but that appeared not to work either. I've tried so many ROMS. After trying to flash I'll reboot and it will say "No OS installed" Then the white HTC screen appears and I have to turn it off manually, because nothing works.
What do I do? I'm pretty sure It's something with the kernel, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please help me?

Your issue is that you're S-on. Depending upon the ROM you're trying to flash you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM (which is why I recommend in that other guide a ROM with a kernel installer built in). Hit the top link in my sig for more info. You need to specifically read the section about S-on kernel flashing.

Your issue is that you're S-on. Depending upon the ROM you're trying to flash you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM (which is why I recommend in that other guide a ROM with a kernel installer built in).

Okay, thanks for all your help. Unfortunately I am terrible at finding ROMs that work with my EVO, do you have any recommendations of one like you said that has a kernel installer built in?

Flash in recovery. When done, reboot to system. The phone will begin to boot, then it will reboot to recovery. Flash the ROM zip a second time, then reboot once more. First boot will take a few minutes. I highly recommend getting S-off once you get up and running.

Got MeanBean installed no problem, and after a short wait, the phone rebooted to normal! Thank you so much, you literally saved me from buying a new phone
Hey guys, Been having issues with my camera and custom roms, I tried to install Cyanogenmod a while back and it had issues then but I just uninstalled it thinking it was the rom, But now that I have tried to flash roms 3 different times with the same issue I am stumped on what this is, The camera refuses to register on the device, the camera app itself just straight up crashes, no other app can detect the camera either, Anyone know any way to fix this? Ive tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes then rebooting, Clearing the data and cache etc etc. I have no idea what to do. I really appreciate any help possible.
Oh forgot to say I tried safemode too.
Any help would be really appreciated thanks!
Could be the Gapps you are using. Some remove the stock camera and replace it with the Google camera and it doesn't work right. Please list which variant of the S5 you are using, which RR update and which Gapps for further assistance.

ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.1-20160712-kltedv Am on the S5 900I, Could it be the Gapps? I tried out other applications like facebook and another camera app which its not detecting the camera at all on that either, and I am using "BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15"
It's either that or the kernel. Now that I am thinking about it, it is probably kernel related since you have a Korean variant and it's a bit different than the US and EU ones. You can try the Open Gapps version to check though. If not that, you might have to see if there is a custom kernel for CM13 based roms that support the L variant or try another rom. Also, make sure you are on the correct bootloader and modem for whatever rom you are trying for best results. The developer should mention if you need something specific.

Im on the Australia phone by the way, And how do I find the Kernal specifics I was looking and couldnt find it on the site, I couldnt find any specifics.
Ohhh...I thought it said 900L. That makes a HUGE difference. lol Anyway, if the Gapps don't help, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3z7nwwq7.../boeffla-kernel-3.0 stable_RR-kltexx.zip?dl=0
Recommend making a backup of boot first, just in case.

No worries. I've done this so many times I can do it in my sleep. lol You would want to wipe system, dalvik cache, and cache and reflash the rom and new Gapps. I'd almost bet it's the kernel though because I think they typically make the roms for the 900F and just change some stuff to get them to boot on other variants. Either way, you won't need to wipe data, so won't hurt to try. Will just take some time as it goes through and optimizes the apps each time you wipe the caches.

If it is the kernel where would I go about getting another, I couldnt find anything similar to this what we are talking about.

When specifically do I flash the Kernel file, I have wiped the system data and cache, Do I flash the rom then the kernal then the gapps?

Hmm. Well, I'd try the Gapps then. Open Gapps > ARM > 6.0 > Pico
Wipe system, cache, dalvik. Flash rom then Gapps. Then test. If not still, then I would wipe caches again and try the kernel one more time. If still not working then that rom just isn't gonna work for you.

Still not working :/ Its weird the rom is specifically ment for the 900I I believe when I got it so I dont know whats wrong with it, Same thing happened with Cyanogenmod 13 too. I found someone having the exact same problem that I am having on here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2521961 At the bottom someone mentions what the exact cause is but not a fix
I was thinking updating the stock firmware might help but didn't help that other guy.
The only way to figure it out at this point would be to do a logcat and post it on put it on pastebin and provide a link on the RR thread so someone cam help troubleshoot the error.
