CM7 Atrix stock kernel? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having some trouble with the Faux kernels, and I want to flash back the default cm7 kernel for testing. Is there a stand-alone stock kernel zip stashed somewhere?
The last link I found no longer works
Thanks

Of course I searched. That link appears to be for MROM kernel. I didnt think that was CM7's default kernel.

I wasnt aware that could be done... good to know. I assume thats flash via adb, correct?
Apparently I asked incorrectly as well... doh. Is there an installable ZIP (like through CWM Rec').
Thanks

[Q] Rom Manager Premium

I purchased Rom Manager Premium so I can install Enyo's latest MIUI rom. The problem is, no ROMs are showing up under the "premium roms" tab. Do I need to add locations to ROM manager somehow? I thought they should just show up after I upgraded....
While donating to the developers is never a bad idea, Enyos Miui rom is free to download? 10.14 is working great for me, but I believe he is getting ready to upload another version that has.a few minor fixes in it. (Although I haven't noticed any problems here.)
Thanks for the response. The link to his rom is not working on his developer page. He said it's available in ROM manager, but I only see 4-5 ROMs in there and none of them are Enyo roms...

My guess is that you don't have your phone setup properly in rom mananger. Your phone is probably being recognized as I9000.
You could fix this, or better yet, just install your roms directly through recovery. Be sure to use the correct recovery for the rom you are installing.

Install this via odin: Odin/Heimdall flashable recovery: hxxp://dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/cwm...r_cm7-ODIN.tar
Open rom manager, select use current recovery.
Pick Fascinate (MTD). Then pick ClockwordMod 3.x

Yes this is almost exactly what I did to get it to work. You have to touch flash clockworkrecovery and set up your phone to use your version of clockwork ...once I set it up.it.immediately shows the Roms

Thanks for the help. I found that all I had to do was open Rom Manager App and flash CWM to choose my phone. From there it was all the same. No need to Odin or anything else.

This was the first time I have ever used Rom Manager to do anything with a ROM. Could not find the last MIUI build anywhere but there. I prefer to boot into recovery and install that way. Maybe cause there is less chance for error. I just used Rom Manager to download the Rom and still installed the old way after I changed out the ringtones and the mms.apk.

CWM Touch Flash Permenent

Hey there!
So I've read a bit lately on rooting my S2 and what not (as I decided to give it a go), and after flashing CWM Touch to my S2 I loved it and found it so much easier to install ZIP's and what not. However, on boot it disappeared, then to find that it was only a temporary Flash and when I rebooted the phone, it simply reverted back to the normal CWM.
Now before asking me to use Google or search for a thread, by god I did that. And after looking for almost 2 hours, I found nothing that gave me a definite answer whether it was possible or not. And so this is why I'm creating a thread.
So is it possible to flash CWM touch on my S2 permanently (like other phones have), or do I have to stick with the volume/power button edition.
Thanks everyone! And thanks in advance.
The recovery, it's part of the kernel so which ever version of ClockworkMod the kernel shipped with that will always be there. If you really want touch recovery, you can flash Siyah Kernel and you'll be rooted and have its touch recovery.

Hmm I hoped that wasn't the case.
But isn't there a way to use ODIN3 to flash the kernel with a custom recovery, such as the CWM touch?
Sorry if that sounds stupid, I just am new to all this.
Not sure if you are allowed to bump this or not, but I just did.
Really want to know if it is possible to flash CWM touch on the kernal guys!

Why don't you just keep a touch cwm.zip file in your download folder and flash that after you flash a new rom?

Thanks for the reply.
And I do have the CWM touch zip in my internalSD but there isn't and point flashing it if everytime I reboot the phone and it goes back to the stock kernel.
I just want to know if there is a method possible to flash CWM touch into the kernel, and make it permanent, or at least fine a .tar version of it so I can flash it using odin
Once again I'll bump this.
Does no one have a solution at all?

Edited. Sorry, I re-read the thread. As already stated, you'll need to flash a kernel that has the version of recovery you want. If you want a different version of recovery with a specific kernel, you'll need to start making your own kernels.

Why don't you just look at the kernels in the development section, specifically for one with touch recovery? You could have found all the available options and tried them out by now.
Or are you just being lazy?

No I'm not lazy, sorry if I came across that way. I am usually one to simply find something on my own, but for this I simply cannot.
I've looked and cannot find what I asked for in the OP, and am still looking and found nothing. So I simply asked a question to make sure that there isn't a possibility that it can be done.
Anyway it doesn't seem possible at the moment, so I guess I'll wait.

[Q] Cubed Kernel

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.
What is the main advantage of flashing a new version of kernel?

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.

Request: Factory Kernel

Good evening all, I've been wanting to flash either ktoonz or francos kernel on my n10, however, for peace of mind I'd like to have the factory kernel on hand to be able to flash back to stock if need be. I've been looking on the forum and github, but it seems all the source kernels are in "decompressed" format and not .IMG. If anyone has kernel 3.4.5-g4e6298b [email protected] in .IMG format or can direct me on how to make a copy of my stock kernel before I flash new ones that would be great. Thanks in advance!

The latest Trickster MOD for Nexus 10 can also back up / restore your kernel. The option to do this is on the Tool menu in Trickster MOD. Fantastic tool for kernel adjustments on my GNex toro, and support for Nexus 10 is catching up quickly. Highly recommended.

Perfect - that was my intention. Have to do this myself. My N10 is unlocked and rooted, TWRP installed, but I'm still on the stock kernel and ROM. Don't really feel compelled yet to try one of the custom ROMs until they mature a bit more. Hoping development gets as active as it's been for the Galaxy Nexus - that will make it fun to experiment on the Nexus 10.

Craig's stock kernel .zip file on goomanager. I just opened the .zip and boot.img was one of the first files I saw. Not sure if its the kernel or not, I just ended up using the trickster mod to backup my most recent kernel from j0p40d.

That BOOT.IMG is based on KTManta with his changes so it isn't a stock kernel. It seems that using Trickster is the only route or maybe the TWRP backup/restore of the Boot files only.
Why don't you just do a backup of your ROM if your on stock .. And do an advanced restore of just the boot .

I have it running on mine, you need to be running the deodexed rooted version of the rom. I had no luck using the gnowhandlebars app. it would say google now installed successfully but it just wouldnt be there. It did work great using Mikey's V7 flashable zip though. I've had zero issues with it since i flashed it.
I am using Google Now on Twisted's latest ICS release. He has a flashable zip file to enable Google Now. It worked for everyone else, but not me. But it still installed just fine with the GNowHandlebars app.
