I wanted to root for a while, just looking for a rom that looks and feels stock, but has better battery and all..
well I followed
watch?v=-hPSrzRqtX4&feature=player_detailpage (cannot post link as I'm new)
and successfully got to supra rom.. well I don't like the vanilla 5 screen non sense homescreen, though I do like the crt visuals lol...
Anyways, I can't even use my wifi, it just says error, and I NEED wifi, I use it at home non-stop as I have horrible service.
Well I tried to switch to viperRom - I did the reset in bootloader, then full wipe, then cache and all that..
well, once I installed the viperRom .zip, I started my phone and its just the same as before... I can't switch roms! I know this is prolly some nooby thing I don't understand but I've been searching all night and just want to get everything working and need to sleep haha
any help GREATLY APPRECIATED
What do you mean about not being able to switch roms?

I figured out that I was trying to flash to viperRom using only the update
I'm now on viper, with stock kernel and still cannot get wifi to work, any ideas? Any searching turns up kernel issues, and to revert to stock.. well I'm on stock kernel

unless you're having hardware wifi issues, which the best way to determine would be through running a stock rom and stock kernel, my guess is you have a kernel and rom mismatch issue.
the way htc has their kernels compiled includes two things: kernel and modules.
the modules include a wifi module.
if you flash a kernel and then load a rom, chances are the rom might overwrite either the kernel, the kernel modules, or both.
the best way to avoid this scenario is to flash the rom first and then flash the kernel. the kernel flash will load the kernel itself and its modules. i.e. if you're on a rom you want to stay with now, flash the kernel again and then wifi should work.
hope that helps!
Thank you, o figured this out myself, but you were right lol I was using 2.3.3 roms on 2.3.4

Hey everyone, this is thread is meant to centralize all of the information and questions about the kernels for this phone. I feel as though information about peoples issues, and their "triumphs" with certain kernels are scattered everywhere, so finding useful information can be tedious. I have noticed that most, if not all of the ROM threads specifically say, "No kernel questions". This is what this thread is going to be for. I also thought it would be neat to have some general discussion about kernels. for example, what kernels work best with what ROM, what are some of the issues that people run into, what works, what doesn't work, etc...
I know there is only a few kernel options now, but hopefully that list will grow and as it grows this thread will be become more useful.
there are only a few rules for this thread:
1. No flaming-one of goals for this thread is to help noobs, this thread is meant to de-clutter the ROM threads of kernel questions, (seemingly stupid or intelligent).
2. This thread is for talk of kernels only, there is a "off topic" discussion thread for everything else; and ROM threads to specifically talk about ROMS
So far i only know of three kernel types:
Faux's kernel
Stock kernels
X boarder's kernels, (different variants to go with different ROMS).
From what i understand Faux's kernels work with pretty much all of the ROM's but seem to cause boot loops.
I do not know too much about X's kernels and the issues they cause, so it would be nice if some one filled me in.
Ill start the thread by saying, I have used the stock kernel that shipped with my phone over the quick sense ROM, and the Bullet proof 2.4 ROM. the weird thing with that was, my WIFI worked. its weird because X, and everyone else says to flash one of X's or Faux's kernels or else wifi will not work. I have been apprehensive about flashing kernels because of the boot loop issues people have reportedly been having. however i went ahead and flashed the kernel that was included in the Bullet proof 2.4 ROM. i haven't used the phone all that much so no bootloop yet. the phone is fast and smooth. X's kernels are able to be overclocked and have three governors. i am very curious about Faux's kernel because he did some amazing things on the Mytouch 4g when i had it.

so ur sayin we can flash most of these roms & still have the stock htc kernel wrking but wifi might break? so how about NRG's modified stock kernel on the Energy rom,will it wrk on all amaze roms & will wifi not break?? im coming frm a mytouch 4g so this phne is a lil complicated..sorry for actin like a noob lol..i havent used that easy kernel flasher,i been using flash image gui & heard that fauxs new kernels cnt b flashed with it?

Idk about the WiFi question, I'm not educated enough on that, but what I've found to be successful is flashing the boot.img from xboarders ROM's .zip file with easy kernel flasher to get the best results. But with Energy ROM, I flash the stock kernel he provided with the stock kernel flasher. That method has worked flawlessly for me. I've never had a random reboot and I've never had a broken WiFi or BT. I've never had to flash a kernel more than once due to failed flash either.

Thanks for the response.. i just wanted to read up on all this more before i flash another rom..Ive been on Energy rom since i got the phone but at first i had the wifi issue,then i went & dwnloaded his stock kernel & flashed it thru flash image gui..i dnt have access to a computer unless i go to a friend house so i rely alot on flash image gui lol.. thats why im askin if its fine to flash roms without flashin another kernel..
I'm not sure why, but the stock kernel worked just fine On quick sense and on bullet proof. I never had a wifi issues on those but the wifi on the energy rom didn't work. I'm using faux's kernel on bullet proof 2.4. I guess fauxs kernel is included in the bullet proof zip. I have only had 1 reboot in the past week. Also faux's kernel can be over clocked which is nice if your into that. I came from a mytouch 4g also so learning all this stuff can be a pain but once you read over everything its really not that difficult

I finally relocked and forced the RUU (newest official version of our phone software) which puts you on the stock everything (ie kernel), and am running just fine on Energy ROM. Wifi works great, I haven't tried Bluetooth. So a far as I can tell, the stock kernel from TMo RUU 1.43 runs great and wifi is perfect. FYI.

I bet most of the kernel issues in this thread would be from people having issues with flash image GUI. Not a fact, just a strong uneducated hunch

2 kernels that im aware of is flashable with flash image gui,the amaze stock kernel frm Energy rom & the faux kernel frm fast amaze rom before the new update i guess.. Other than those 2 kernels i heard EKF modules or something like that cnt b used with flash image gui.. People gotta read before flashin things lol

I'm probably just educated enough to be way off-base, but it seems to me a kernel with a wifi problem would also have a BT problem. Do people tend to experience those 2 together?

I'm pretty sure it had to do with the official build each rom is based off of. I know the official update to 1.43 changed the kernel around so if people have a stock kernel from an earlier official ruu the wifi and bt break when updating to a build based off 1.43. Most all roms past xboarders beast mod 2.0 are built off 1.43 at least. I think there are some ones newer than 1.43 but I'm not sure if the kernel had any updates in those builds.

I've got the day off and nothings really going on so I'm looking to root my SGS III. Still in the preparation phase but I'm basically looking to find the quickest, easiest way to obtain root.
What I've come across is the tool kit and CF-Root methods of doing this. Basically what's the difference between these? I'm also reading about flash counter? And triangle away gets rid of it? I'm not too sure on that really..
Ideally I think I'd prefer using Odin but I cant seem to extract the CF-Root file to get the .Tar PDA file. This is why I've stopped and decided to post before proceeding to **** it all up, as I once did with my SGS...
Any help would be appreciated thanks all
..... Should also say I'm running stock with the latest OTA update if that's any worth
I did it via CF-Root and Odin. Quick and easy

The issue I'm having with that is I cant seem to get the .tar file when I extract the files. I only seem to get the .img files, what extraction program do you use may I ask?

As it turns out using 7 zip was messing my extraction up so got rid of that and job done got the .tar file I needed, literally took 10 seconds..
Cf-root because I didn't want insecure boot image thing. Also like SuperSU
Another quick one, any one have recommended roms, I've just installed JB on my S1 and it looks good, but do I install it on my S3? Or pick something else?

Can't really comment on "best"
But I've had good experience with AHD, WanamLite (2.0) and Omega. All with stock kernels. But Siyaah 1.4 is a good kernel to start with if you want a custom kernel.
Currently my daily driver is Faryaab's AOSP JB Build 3. Loving it!
Sorry, poorly phrased.. should have said, what rom do you use and why?
I confess at the moment I have gone back to a stock de-odexed Rom just to see what Samsung is like after 2 years of being on aosp/cm9 roms, just running siyah kernel over it and removed a bit of bloat.....quite enjoying it

I have done the exact same thing as of this morning!
I enjoyed my journey through cm9/10 and aosp JB but I have to say I'm liking the latest Sammy FW, its a lot smoother than it was when I left it to flash CM9 back around when I got the phone.
So ya, I'm gone back to the darkside, not-as-crap-as-before-wiz.

Flash then do a nandroid, can't really go wrong them!
Hi all. I'm relatively new to rooting, and was wondering how to flash a decent, stable Kernel, which is compatible with Omega. Baseband is: I9300XXEMV1, ROM details: Omega v44.3 XXUFMB3.
I have tried a few starting with Siyah, but I had skmilar results including instand forcd closes of most apps.l, and sometimes the phone wouldn't even boot. I figure I'm more than likely doing something wrong, considering other users don't have these issues after completion. I have been downloading the Kernels from Omega files and from there I use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. I then flash the kernel which then triggers the issues mentioned above. My gut feeling is that I probably need to use Odin on my pc to avoid these problems. I've heard good things about Siyah kernel which drew me to it. Is it compatible with Omega? Or is downloading and flashing using just my phone a bad idea?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If I have posyed this in the wrong topic I do apologize! And please if there is already a topic regarding the above essay please guide me to it and I'll leave you alone.

There are no compatible kernels for Omega 44.3 because is based on the leak 4.2.1 version of jelly bean. I think that until Samsung doesn't release a new version, more stable and with 4.2.2 version, there will be no compatible kernel.
Such a shame. I'll have to start from scratch then I suppose. Thanks for the help!

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?

Backup, backup, backup. If TWRP successfully installs then backup. If something goes wrong you can revert everything or just the boot partition. (Kernel)
