How am I meant to install a kernel?

if its a flashable zip, flash it from recovery.
if its a boot.img, fastboot it from bootloader
you can find softwares to do it too

with CWM or with fastboot app at PC (hh at fastboot mode) ..
"Install from ZIP" option (i.e. flash) using CWM.

Are kernels very difficult to find? I've searched a lot for kernel 2.6.38.8 and I just can't find the kernel in zip format after looking at a series of error 404 thinking that this kernel is out of date.

After flashing the success kernel my phone won't boot? I'm on 10/2.
You haven't specified which is your phone model, as some device's bootloader is locked and some not.
Installing kernel in Samsung devices (Unlocked bootloader) is pretty easy, you just have to flash the zip from CWM recovery. Or if you have got a boot.img make a flashable zip (There are many tutorials over here for that) and flash it.
Another option is, replace the boot.img of your Custom ROM zip file and flash.

You cant just flash any old kernel. It has to be for your device.

Oh my.. I think you should go into the forum for your device.. go to the q&a section and read.. then read more and when your all done reading... read again! Because I'm thinking if you don't your going to end up with a paperweight.

This is the correct answer to every question asked in here so far!!!!
There is no "generic Android way" to do what you're asking for. It can change for every single phone. And if you flash the wrong thing, you may permanently destroy your phone! And if your phone has different variants, be sure to get the version specifically for your exact phone! For example, flashing something for the wrong Galaxy S3 can kill your device in an unrecoverable way because where the kernel goes for one variant is where the bootloader goes for another variant!
If you don't know exactly what you're doing, then don't do it and go learn more! Experiment first ONLY with step-by-step tutorials for your EXACT scenario! If something's different, don't do it!
yeah read into this a good bit more before you do this. look in your phones forums for a guide. you mess this up you phone becomes pretty useless.
I'm a little worried now, and a bit rushed this morning as I have a funeral to attend this morning.
Bottom line, my phone has a blank screen now. It gets past the boot animation, but goes blank after that. I cannot get into recovery or boot loader by pressing the power/vol down buttons. I have done a couple battery pulls, but of no help. When I connect it to my PC, it does not show up as a disk drive, though it did say installing drivers.
Google flashable kernals and put in android sdk folder then go to cmd andtype fastboot flash name of kernal.img. I 90% sure.

This is the kernel I need for the rom I downloaded,
Team-Hydra / android_kernel_htc_msm8660. It is for the new rom CyanogenMod 10.1 - Android 4.2.1 - Jellybean.
So what is being said is that I need to put this on my sd card in the android sdk folder, the flash it through the command prompt. Is this correct so far?

You need to flash via fastboot like u said Android SDK Folder. Just need to flash the boot.img follow what ROM u flash.
Extract the Boot.img from the ROM.zip u flashed.
Put the Boot.img at SDK folder which is same with fastboot locate.
Boot ur phone to BOOTLOADER -> Fastboot, then using command promp fasboot flash boot boot.img, then reboot your phone..
Here is where I'm at with this.
After letting my phone sit all night without the battery in it, I still have the same problem. After the boot animation, the screen is black. I tried to connect the phone to the pc, but my computer does not see it. I also tried to use a card reader, but still my computer does not see the card either. The reader is working because I put another sd card in it and it saw it.
The thing is now, I can get into the bootloader and recovery, though I now seem to have Clockwork instead of 4ext, which is what I had before I started having problems. Clockwork sees the card as well.
I don't know how to get anything on the card now since I cannot connect to the pc, either through the phone or through a card reader.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have the HTC EVO V 3D. It's rooted and S-off.
A long while back I used the HTC official unlock ( cant remember what it is called ), I installed clockword recovery (5.8.1.5) and rooted but didnt mess with my rom beyond that.
Today my daughter was playing a game and the phone suddenly rebooted (saw it happen) it reboots to recovery. I tried clearing the cache and factory reset still wouldnt boot. Decided to try a ROM to see if that would fix it (did CG ROM Jelly Bean) no change. Not really sure what my next step should be.
It does say "E:unknown misc partition fs_type "ext4"" at the bottom of the clockwork recovery page.
still working on this to no avail, not really sure what to try next. I am worried the tablet may have died proper like.
Halp please!

Sorry for the long reply, I spent a TON of time figuring out how to do all this stuff for the version of stuff I beleive I have. At any rate the problem I am consistantly encoutnering is that I cant get to hboot at all. I also cant find advice on how I might repair hboot from recovery. I do have adb access from recovery and can do adb reboot-bootloader but it just thinks for a bit and comes back to recovery. I also tried many times doing the vol-down + power button to get to hboot.
So what is the next step if you cant get to hboot?
so have you done something like
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash zimage zImage
fastboot flash zimage zImage
fastboot reboot

Yes, when I do adb reboot-bootloader it just reboots into recovery again. fastboot gives the <waiting for device>. I also tried copying the rom.zip from the ruu to an sd card and then using recovery to flash to it. It starts to try then ends with "Installation Aborted".
Not sure if there is a small easy to flash to rom that I could try, even if it wouldnt have much in the way of function. Not sure if this whole thing implies my flash is partially dead or something.
Thanks

Only thing I can think of is grabbing a proper RUU executable, there might be a thread in the view dev area that links to some, plugging in your view and try running that. You'll loose root and all but it may bring it back to life

Thanks for the idea Gersto but I cant get to fastboot so I cant use an RUU (Unless there is something I dont know). I experimented a bit trying to get the errors about the misc partition and ext4 to go away but nothing I did to that stuff seemed to persist. I do have root and can access it from adb shell.
Not sure if it is the culprit but if anyone knows how to fix the problem wit my misc partition I am all earsl.

I found this phone today without a sim or sd card in it today. When I tried to boot it it just sits at the LG logo. I'm not new to MODing and rooting androids but I can't get this to work.
What I've tried is the 3 button rest with no luck so I went to the S/W Updater. I'm using the AIO tool I found in these threads. I've installed the lg drivers and was trying to flash the ICS V10G_00.kdz cause I'm not sure what version of andriod was on it.
I followed the guide but when it starts to flash it gets to 15% and says the phone is not connected to my PC. I attached a screenshot of the error I'm getting. I'm pretty sure I installed everything else I need except I'm not to sure if I have the correct drivers or maybe I need other drivers with them.
Anyone know what I can try to get it working? I haven't messed with many LG's so they are pretty new to me.
Any help would be awesome.
Remember I was never able to boot the phone on so I wasn't able to install any of the drivers that would normally install them selves by plugging in the usb and I couldn't change any of the usb settings in the developers settings.
TIA for any help.
So you "found" phone eh? Maybe they're is a reason no one wanted it anymore.

Yeah I figured this not booting was why they through it out but thought I might be able to recover from it. I've got phones to come back from worse. I just hate these updaters, thats why I never got another Samsung. I didn't even know LG had them. I rooted the optimus s and marquee and never seen an updater. I'm a HTC guy my self.

To check if its working, select the option for just fastboot.
Once in that window, type
fastboot devices
This should let you know if it's working.
I like to run the commands manually, Lol it's more reassuring, that everything was done properly.

Since you have fastboot running now, just follow the direction on the third link.
After flashing in fastboot, run the offline flash program.

Just find a ROM specific for your phone (search xda for desire x) and put it on sdcard. Either with an external SD reader or through recovery. Then wipe all in recovery, then flash ROM and gapps if needed
Then reboot

Long story short: I think i bricked my HTC Desire X. After rooting (succesful) i tried to remove stock T-Mobile apps. They were re-installing after reboot. I did some research and found many solutions, one of them was to install custom kernel. So, i grabbed neXusKERNELv3 and using WinDroid HTC Desire X Toolkit (Fastboot Commands > Flash > System Image) i flashed .img file to my phone. After rebooting nothing happens - HTC quietly brilliant logo, vibration and blank black screen.
One of the solutions of this problem i found in the internet was to install custom rom, but to do so, i have to acces my sd card, which i cant.
I have acces to bootloader and recovery (phillaz touch 5).
Anyone can help me? I'm noob, i just wanted to get rid of those annoying T-Mobile apps!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, im not native english speaker.
Update: I turned on the phone and left it alone for some time - after HTC logo and black screen nothing happens for some time and then htc logo appears again, and there is black screen again.

Dude one thing, your phone isin't bricked and you said you have Phiz touch recovery right? You can mount your SD card from there (I believe) then...
Before you do any of these make sure you have an unlocked phone (I know you said it. Rooted and unlocked bootloader), java and hansoon 2000's toolkir (optional, if you don't want to use CMD.) and an updated phone (you should have the 1.25 Hboot by now.)
1. Download a ROM and extract the boot.img to the folder where you have "fastboot.exe"
2. Boot your phone to recovery then mount your SD card from there.
3. Copy the ROM on to your SD card. (Oh you know that.)
4. Reboot back to bootloader and select fastboot
5. Plug your phone to your computer using a USB cable and open a command prompt window (CMD)
6. Type the following codes...
Code:
fastboot devices
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache
And finally
Code:
fastboot flash boot (name_of_image).img
7. BACK UP YOUR STOCK ROM
8. Do a wipe data/factory reset
9. Wipe dalvik cache.
10. Flash the ROM that you placed in your SD card.
I hope it worked lol. Goodluck bro!
In addition if you don't have card reader
1. Flash TWRP or CWM recovery
2. From recovery open "ADB Sideload"
3. Flash the rom.zip with ADB sideload
For more info: http ://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com.tr/2013/12/ow-to-use-adb-sideload.html
4. Flash kernel (boot.img) via fastboot

You can't flash this yet (I'm working on that, I promise) but you can boot from it!
NOTE: THIS IS A WIP. Not a lot has been really tested yet and this is posted merely for your enjoyment atm.
I don't suggest flashing anything yet, not that there is anything to flash heh.
Also, I take no responsibility if you break your watch, yada, yada.
To do this, make sure you have Android's tools (for fastboot), an unlocked bootloader, and the watch connected to your computer in Debug mode.

This is all off the top of my head and missing some random files you had to hack around with, of course. Hope you get it working and more progress is made because I can't get to it for another day!

Heh, don't worry, you didn't seem like you were shooting me down at all! Anyway, I tried TWRP but it wouldn't boot for some reason (it's extremely hard to debug at the bootloader level). So, I went back to CWM and got swipe control working! Here's a build of the recovery image
NOTE: To boot this do NOT flash it; you need to "fastboot boot" it. Also, don't blame me if your watch breaks, yadda, yadda.
As per the source, I'll tell you the truth, it's pretty ugly and I'm deathly afraid of git so give me a few days until I get around to uploading it.

Nope, though I'll try to get to it tomorrow after work! If you want, I can give you an overview of what I did:
1. Pull the source for CM11.
2. Dump boot and recovery images using dd.
3. Ran makevender.sh using lge and dory.
4. lunch'd it up.
5. Replaced the recovery.fstab with the fstab from the recovery ramdisk.
6. Ran makerecovery.sh.
7. fastboot boot'd the recovery.img
This is all off the top of my head and missing some random files you had to hack around with, of course. Hope you get it working and more progress is made because I can't get to it for another day!
I explained in the post that I thought CWM had touch built-in and have since switched over to Philz.

Interesting.
I was/am working on TWRP, but my first build wouldn't boot.
EDIT: Where did you get that strap? I really like it.

Heh, don't worry, you didn't seem like you were shooting me down at all! Anyway, I tried TWRP but it wouldn't boot for some reason (it's extremely hard to debug at the bootloader level). So, I went back to CWM and got swipe control working! Here's a build of the recovery image

Awesome! You can technically flash mods; I flashed the iOS emoji mod so now my hangout messages don't have the ugly Google ones :victory:

Same, and I gave up; TWRP's UI won't really work out too well at 280x280, IMO, and CWM swipe is already working heh. I got the watch strap from eBay. It was super cheap and easy to adjust!
Why just booting it via fastboot instead of flashing it?
and have you push your device tree to github??

just zipping your device tree and uploading it would work too.
And how you build a recovery and git look skeery?? lol

This is exactly why I've rooted my watch! Well, that and the Gohma ROM.
The issue I'm having is pushing the .zip file to the sdcard. Getting an error saying it's read-only. Can't do it via adb because the second I boot into CWM my laptop forgets it's connected to anything.

It's only booting because it doesn't work when flashed to recovery. The file size is around 8 mb whereas the legitimate recovery is 23 mb, which I'm sure is an issue. Is it possible that I'm only creating a ramdisk that gets paired with the watch's kernel and I need to make an image with both of them? Sorry, this whole uBoot stuff confuses me a bit.

Heh, I'm not actually afraid of git, I guess, I'm afraid of the whole "making a device-specific git repo that can be easily pulled while building CM." I guess I just don't have the time atm to set it up properly, but dw, I'll get to it this weekend! :fingers-crossed:

Well, the iOS mod is something I downloaded awhile ago for my N5. I'm afraid I don't have the link anymore. Sorry, man.

Try pushing the zip to the sd card while it's normally booted and then restart. I think that's what I did, IIRC.

Getting:
Code:
C:\fastboot>adb push emoji.zip \sdcard
failed to copy 'emoji.zip' to '\sdcard': Read-only file system
This was just done while the watch is booted normally and plugged in via USB. It almost seems as though the root permission hasn't worked. I'm at a loss.

Weird... I don't even think you need root to push to /sdcard/ but I could be wrong. I'd suggest trying /sdcard/emoji.zip so it knows where to resolve. Also, I don't use Windows, but does the backslash work on adb as a file separator?
what happened to development on this?
