Hey Guys!
I have a questions related to kernels. I want to install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065
I saw that I need this custom kernel:
https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_sony_msm8974
I don't know how to build it. I did read that i need Linux ?! I'm not sure about this.
Anyways I still don't know how to realize this. I know that I need a .sin or .img file.
I really need help with that
After that, if I manage to flash my phone with that kernel, does it start into recovery or
is any recovery pre-installed on that kernel ?! If no, how do I install/access cwm ?
I can't find any helpful tutorials for flashing custom kernels on my phone.
I think I have this kernel accidently installed now with flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548092
(how can i check what kernel i have and is there any stock 4.4.2 kernel maybe with cwm ?!)
The main question here is, how do I install a kernel for custom roms like cm or paranoid or togari roms, etc. ?
I am very thankful for every helpful answer!
greets

SOLVED: I found out myself. the boot.img is in the zip files -.- I am pretty dumb (Y)

Hi guys,
I just bought my sgs2 and here is the current configs:
Model: GT-I9100
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I910XXKF1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG2-CL342890 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKG2
1. If I want to load custom rom like Litening or Criskelo, do I have to change the firmware/kernel first? each custom rom is based on different kernel, etc.
2. Any Kernel/firmware is compatible to my sgs2?
3. loading custom rom would require root, cwm?
That's all my queries for now.
I hope to hear from anybody soon.
Thank you.

read the above link and that will answer what you need to know.. also if you are going to flash a rom make sure you read the rom that you will choose thread..What i mean if you are going to flash say VillainRom read through the opening page and all your answers and guide will be there. Installation of rom and how to flash it and what kernel to use etc....When flashing a rom always stay with the Kernel that the dev provides with. Only saying that because what might work for others might not work for you.
But read the guide of the link i gave you and if you need more answers id be happy to help you out...Also on the Q&A forum hit the search button and try searching what you want, and see if anyone else has asked what you are looking for

the kernel is the interface between hardware (CPU, RAM...) and software (OS+applications
wiki
our kernels are linux kernel based : wiki
read this for more info about how to unlock bootloader, and flash kernels >>> here
failing to flash a kernel is more dangerous than failing for a rom, but lots of tools are here to unbrick
a custom kernel allows you to do many things you can't with stock SE kernel
i hope this answers your question
Hello
I want to install villainrom 3.0 but before I do that, I just have a couple of quick questions.
1. Does my current android version matter when i want to install a new rom. I am currently using the 2.3.3 version. Will it cause problems since it's relatively outdated?
2. Do i need a specific kernel? i.e. Will my baseband version, kernel version or build number cause problems?I am using CF-Root kernel with the following specifications:
my baseband version: XXKG2
my kernel version: XWKF3
my build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I know that these are probably noobish questions but i appreciate your help.
1. no, the rom will update your phone.
2. No, you do not need a specific kernal as the rom comes with its own kernel.
first! u need to flash have clockworkmod kernel
I've already rooted it with CF-root and i have the clockworkmod installed. I've read on the cwm-kernel post that he doesn't recomend flashing it if I already have CF-root. Is there any reason why villainrom wouldn't work with CF-kernel as the post above stated that villainrom comes with its own kernel?
Also, Do i need anything else before i flash villain rom?
hi,
i have a new sg2 i9100 version witch came with 4.04 and no brick bug as reported the emmc.
i am searching for days and i am a bit confused .i am not familiar with that kind of softwares and i would like your help.
the goals: i want to root, and to be able to flash any rom i want.
1)if i understand so far i will need a kernel too?
2)i do not have the knowledge to understand what varius kernels offer and i simply choosed the siyah since it is the most popular(??) the s6 version states "This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore).
that means that my ics 4.04 will not be accesible and working anymore and i should flash a rom imidiately after the kernel flash?i do not mind to flash rom imediately after siyah kernel since i do not have anything instaled on the phone yet.
is it posible?with odin?1.86 , 3.04?
3)after the siyah kernel flash from the oficial siyah site , do i have root?
4)do i have cwm? if not what do i need to do?
5) is the siyah consider safe kernel?
thanks
i apreciate your help.

Frist root your phone, everything will be explained in the thread. Check FAQ
If you don't know what you are doing, don't flash siyah and stay with the kernel that gets installed when flashing the rom you want.
Flash a custom kernel with Odin. Another Siyah kernel than v6 will do, just check the changelog.
You will have root, CWM and you're able to flash custom roms. You can choose to try other kernels than the one that comes with a rom, but it's not a must.
And the person above is right: If you don't fully understand all this, try to learn a little bit more. It will prevent you from doing something wrong.
Good luck.

Hello everyone, i know i am really late in the game here by playing with this phone but my friend has one and wants me to fix it up for him. it is completely stock running android 2.3.6. I can't seem to make heads or tails of how to stick a recovery on this thing and flash a rom. can anyone point me in the right direction as how to do this? thanks mates
First thing you need to know is that the recovery is compiled into the kernel, so you don't flash a recovery separately, you just flash a custom kernel and you will have a custom recovery after.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but since the phone is still on the original 2.3.6 firmware, you could flash the old Siyah kernel and use it's recovery to flash custom firmware.
You need to root the phone first. You can root this phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. Then go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
Stable custom Touchwiz based firmware available in the development forum are SHOstock or Cooked. Both are based on 4.1.2, and neither are currently supported but both are stable.
If you want something more recent, there are various aosp based firmwares available in the development forum. You may not be able to flash some of them directly from that old recovery in Siyah 2.6.14, but if you need help, you'll have to try to get some help in their threads, because I don't use those.
Happy flashing, and if you need help, ask.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the benefit of having the recovery compiled into the kernel. Do you think it is better than having them separately, and if so, can you explain why?

You'd have to ask the Samsung engineers why they did that. Since the more common standard is to have the recovery in it's own separate partition, it suggests that is the better solution, I would think.
Having been on a device for a while that has a separate partition for recovery (N5), it's a feature that is extremely comforting in that it is virtually impossible to brick those types of devices.
The way I see it is that having the kernel on the same partition as the recovery is beneficial as more kernels can be built, instead of it being ignored.
