Okay so I have been having issues installing a custom kernal. I have rooted the phone through rumrunner and now wan't to install a custom kernal. The problem I have ran into with both the cube kernal and the crpalmer kernal is that once flashed and installed through recovery it goes either into a boot loop or just sits at the htc screen and does nothing. Im wondering if there is maybe something that I am doing wrong or if there is something wrong with the kernals. PLEASE HELP, I would highly appreciate it.
Which ROM are you running and which version of the kernels are you trying to use? Cubed kernel doesn't work on anything except really old 4.1.2 ROMs, crpalmer's current kernel only works on aosp/cm11 based ROMs, and his old sense kernel only works on 4.1.2.

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

I successfully rooted my 1.5 hboot with HTC's official method. All my root apps work fine and I installed steel rom 2.01. My kernel version is
2.6.35.13-g84f8edd
I originally tried to flash synergy rom, this caused my phone to randomly (and frequently) reboot. I flashed steel rom and my phone is stable now. I downloaded the showdown kernel 2 from here at xda and flashed it by itself. I don't believe my kernel version changed; I would think it would say showdown something. My setcpu does not have any overclock capabilities right now.
Is this because I don't have s-off? If so, is there a way possible now to flash kernels on evo 3ds with the hboot v1.5?
Also if anyone has any tips on getting synergy to work I'd appreciate it.
Which synergy are you flashing? If you took the update and are on 2.3.4 you can't flash a 2.3.3 ROM. sounds like you are flashing an older synergy.
Edit: also there are no kernels for 2.3.4 out yet except the stock because HTC hasn't released the source code

The file I downloaded was synergy-evo3d-unofficial-345.zip. It took me a while and some confusion to find it. I think the thread said the kernel was included in the rom. But I think it also said 2.3.4. I would rather be on 2.3.3 with a custom kernel.
I just flashed synergy revision 318 and it didn't flash the ziggy kernel. I cleared data before flashing. I see my vrsion of androi is 2.3.3, and I tried flashing the showdown Kellernel 2. Any ideas? It still says I have the stock htc kernel.
You can't flash a kernel if you rooted using HTC's unlocker method.

HTC's unlock method doesn't let you flash kernels ( not to my knowledge but I could be wrong ) I've read several threads about people trying to flash kernels and it looking like it flashed, but didn't actually flash. BUT, your on 2.3.4, so you can't flash a 2.3.3 kernel. You gotta flash a 2.3.4 kernel. And the only losses kernel we have is freeza's kernel.
From what I understand, HTC's unlock method only allows write access to the system partition.

when i try flashing bcblend kernel and also Rcmix kernel my shooter wont boot up all the way, it go's to the htc screen then turns off??? on offf on off on off?? i dont understand?? maybe them kernels dont like my phone?? any thoughts? thanks
What rom are you using, you have to make sure the kernel is compatible with your rom. Especially, 2.3.3 roms and 2.3.4 roms cannot mix kernels.
im using Infectedrom Eternity?? i thought thats a good rom to run wit rc kernel?? im using twrp 2.0 recovery.. i got 1.40 hboot.. rooted wit revol??
So, I just got this phone ~1 week ago. Does flashing a rom change the Kernel? Or is that what the PH98IMG.zip is for? I'm currently running Bamf ICS with the OC kernel. Will flashing CleanROM pro change the Kernel?
Yep...its the kernel...
if you decline to update it when flashing to a new Rom, I would assume it would be whatever the last kernel you would have flashed/allowed.
Now if they all play nice with the different Roms that'll be trial and error...they should but you never know...
all I know is gb kernel for gb Rom and ics kernel for ics Rom unless you like reboots lol
If you were

Hi,
I've been experiencing a flickering screen for a while on my Droid DNA with Viper 1.2. I've tried to re flash my rom and it hasn't helped and i'm pretty sure it's a kernel issue anyway. I initially had the cubed kernel installed and tried to go back to the stock rom using the file available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024776
That didn't do the trick so I tried installing the kernel that is listed on the viper page but it only has boot.img file listed and no modules so my Wifi isn't working. It looks like the modules are supposed to be included with the ROM but that isn't working for me for some reason. It seems to not flicker now but my Wifi isn't working.
Any idea where I can get the correct modules from?
Thanks!
You can't use kernels based on the new base l, such as cubed, on roms based on the new base, such as viper 1.2
Just flash a different custom kernel, such as beast mode
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
beastmode or cpalmer's kernels should work for you. if you want to go back to the stock one with viper 1.2, fastboot the boot.img and reflash the ROM (the modules are included in the ROM package)
