i recently have tried many kernels like(sesh kernel)(lowrun kernel)(optimus drunk kernel) the problem is while iwas using one of them i restarted my device , to stuck at the brand name(poco)while booting up, i went to twrp many times and flashed many other kernels but got the same issue, only the stock kernel(miui offical kernel) worked and the phone booted up normally, iam so confused, i hope you help me with this issue or provide me info if u had countered this issue before on poco f1 device!
thanks for all your hard work developers!!!
Did you dirty flash the ROM zip in between flashing custom kernel? Shouldn't flash one custom kernel over another one. That can cause issues.

dirty flash i dunno wat dirty mean here but yea iwas flashing kernel over kernel, also iam using miui offical rom no custom roms! if i need to flash rom zip everytime then its useless, i dont need to wipe my data everytime!
Yep, that's the problem, you don't just flash kernel over another one and expect your device to behave normally. Atleast dirty flash your rom so you have the original kernal back and try different kernel after that (though I wouldn't recommend). If you don't clean flash and encounter issues, it's your fault, don't whine.

i have nerver whined over this as you can see above, iwas clueless, that is why i asked in the first place, the thing iam bothered about it now is, if i need to (dirty?) flash my rom then i need to reset and delete allmy data again, never expected the need to do that, thx for ur reply and be assure i won't whine since i knew the issue and it's consequences!
Do you have the fastboot flash archive file on your PC somewhere? Of the stock rom you are currently using. You can check what version of official rom you are currently using and I can send you the boot.img file from the archive (that is the partition that contains the stock kernel). Flashing that is what reverts you back to stock kernel.
All of this is a requirement for flashing a different custom kernel. It goes like this : you flash a custom kernel >dont like it>flash the stock boot.img through recovery>reboot to system>go back to recovery>flash the new kernel you want to test. If I wasnt clear, contact me, I think I can help.

about boot.img yea i have that system on my pc, but i already backed up the stock boot.img before installing my first custom kernel, but after that i didnt work as ur talking about reflashing stock kernel then boot then return to recovery then flash another custom kernel, instead i flashed custom kernel after another, didnt include between each custom kernel a stock kernel flash process, that is why iam having this issue, now even if i tried to flash custom kernel(although iam using now the stock kernel)i will end up soft bricked! but iam now need 1 help if youcan answear me bcs i dunno why icant make another thread,
if i used twrp backup process and created a restore zip for my system(nandroid backup for reflashing stock rom ) then i wiped my all data, then if the zip file is in my phone the it should be wiped out so, how can i then restore my zip or use it through twrp to restore my old system and everything(if the new rom wasn't good for me?????)
and if i moved the zip file i created using twrp to pc and my phone while flashing new rom got soft brick then how will the pc be able to recognize the phone to be able to move the zip file to it and then flash it through twrp??? i never found an answear through xda yet and hope ucan answear my questions and assure me before flashing my stock rom again! i dont want to lose any info about these process before flashing, if i lost, it would be too late for my precious data you knew!

First rule before flashing anything to your device - Always backup your data to your pc, cloud ,etc. You never know what can go wrong. Now for your kernel issue as crazy_4_and1 said you have to be on stock kernel to try a new kernel. Just flash boot.img to your boot partition through twrp. You don't have to flash the whole rom. Flashing boot.img doesn't wipe your data. And about your soft brick issue as long as twrp recovery is accessible you can restore your created backup. MTP works in twrp. You can flash your stock rom again without wiping internel storage to resolve any system related problems. Just wipe system, cache, data and dalvik/art. Your app data will be gone but your internal storage will be intact. You can also dirty flash without wiping data but it usually causes problems. If recovery can't be accessed you can flash fastboot rom. Fastboot rom will wipe everything.

Which version of Android u use 9 or 10 please update Android 10 then
After flash any kernal flash Dfe zip then u must boot
But if u are want a best kernel with great performance and less heating than others then u must use amog787 kernel if u use once u stick with it always believed me this kernel is used in oxygen os if you use any oos rom then u know what I am talking

i did a process took 6 hours of my time, faced many errors but went out victorious, so the summary of my work is:
when u back up dont backup 'system' but backup everything its fine,
why?bcs when u want to restore using ur nandroid backup(its twrp backup) during the restore process when flashing 'system' it will give you error, just when u restore make sure system isnot the one beside others, also backup system image it is the system itself.
second, my poco f1 when was soft bricked(i bricked it) if u went to fastboot(if twrp recovery suddenly stopped appearing) in my situation adb didnt recognise the phone, so iwas almost hopeless, also miflash tool whenever i give it rom to flash it gives me errors, but somehow i went back to twrp and flashed the stock rom using usb(otg) thqt was my way to break through this issue, so ( never ever lose twrp, if u lost it, and adb drivers didnt recognise ur device while in fastboot(maybe it was bcs my old drivers or bug) ur doomed)!!!! and nandroid wont backup everything u need, just the apps and ur old system, all ur interneal storage(if u didnt wipe it like me) will still as it is, it isnt backed up with the backup zip!.
i tried many sites (including xda forums) to find solutions for my errors but none of them helped me out, so this is my experience and if someone need help ask me i will try ti help him, and i ask all of who sees this post to share his poco f1 experience bcs no matter developers says, the testers know the situation better!!

Well, I use Pitch Black Recovery, as it patches the installation of stock roms so I does not get erased by stock recovery. Then, the softbrick you are talking about is probably caused by flashing a kernel but not disabling dm-verity (that's a requirement if you want a stock rom/custom kernel combo) someone correct me if I'm wrong. So, the order, for a custom kernel install would be 1. Clean flash your ROM, 2. boot it 3. Reboot to recovery and flash the custom kernel 4. Flash dm-verity disabler 5. Reboot to system.
You just need a boot.img file on your sd card/pc, so you can flash just that file if your rom fails to boot.
I keep my phone unencrypted, so i use DFE/DM-verity disabler zip (literally just google it and it will point you to a thread here on XDA). I had a ****ton of proble.s booting a custom kernel/rooted official MIUI. And it was all due to flash order.
In my case it is : 1. Clean flash ROM 2. Boot it 3. Reboot to recovery 4. Change file system to f2fs (data lartition) 5. Flash Kernel/Magisk/DFE (in that order). 6. Reboot to recovery. Done. If you run into more problems booting, i bet it is due to a flash order mistske. So write here, Ill reflash, stay encrypted and check which order it is that these files need to be flashed in so it boots every time.

nice reply and thanks for your concerns, i use disable file encryptions but only when flashing magisk ,never expected to use it with custom kernels, but i have one thing bother me, u said that i need "clean flash rom" but i restored my rom using nandroid while i already had broked my phone(if i flashed any custom kernel other than stock kernel)so is my rom ok or not, do i need to flash a new stock rom? and is it recommended if iwant to change the custom kernel later to another custom kernel to flash stock kernel between them? do u have the flash order between custom kernels over stock rom without causing issues? i would like to know if u have any info, and
thanks for ur info that will help me in future!!!

Not that you need to flash a stock ROM every time, I'd just do it the first "next" time (if you want to be sure you did nothing wrong, once, you NEED to flash a clean installation). I wouldn't know if your backup is fine if I dont know exactly what partitions did you backup and if you backed your system right after the installation.
It is not recommended it is OBLIGATORY to flash the stock kernel between the flashes.
If changing kernels, only, I just flash the stock boot.img, reboot to system to see if all is good, then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel+magisk (I cant remember exactly, but I think you lose root if you flash the stock kernel). Ill make a reminder to check.

With flashing the stock kernel, it does.
Newer custom kernels apply a patch so magisk stays intact
Stock ones do not.

Hi, I'm running a stock P500 and I'm a bit disappointed with its performance. I'm looking for a ROM which is feature-complete, i.e. no missing features such as Bluetooth calling, etc. and minimal to no deviation from the stock Android UI. Any suggestions?
use megatron ROM it is the closest in my opinion and has very good performance but i would suggest trying the other ROMs that have gingerbread like miks cm7 they are not missing much and what they are missing you can get back

Do as what you are told on their page.. I or the dev will not be responsilble.
Ok, so this is all kinda new to me so I wanted to make sure that I have the basics covered:
1. I need to root my phone. I'm running Android 2.2.2 so I guess that means I need to use gingerbreak. It's an .apk file that I need to install on my phone and then I run it to gain root access. Are there any command line actions needed for gingerbreak?
2. After rooting, I need to install a ROM manager such as CWM or AmonRA. If I'm not mistaken, the program itself will install the custom recovery, right? And how do I boot into that recovery mode?
3. After booting into recovery mode, I need to do a nandroid (?) backup of my current ROM, right? And the backup of my stock ROM is restored through the same custom recovery, yes? Would restoring the stock ROM unroot my phone and remove the custom recovery as well?
3. After backing up, I need to flash the custom ROM which should be saved as a .zip file on my SD card. Do I need to worry about the kernel as well?
Sorry if I have a lot of questions.

1. Install it, open it and select "Root"
2. No, the root program won't install the recovery. You need to do that; the easiest way is by Rom Manager (download from market); boot in recovery: turn off the phone and start it by pressing at the same time: home + vol down + power key and release at lg logo to enter custom recovery or just select boot into recovery from ROM Manager
3. Yes, make a backup and to restore it just select "restore" from the same place. No, you will restore the backup you just made so your phone will be exactly the way it was when you created the backup (including apps, settings etc)
4. Yes, you will enter "install zip from sdcard -> choose zip". Don't forget to wipe cache, dalvik cache, data/factory reset and format /system before you flash the rom. Other kernels are not mandatory but highly recommended (the differences are big) - also wipe just cache & dalvik cache before flashing the kernel

The chaces of bricking the phone are very small.
What can happen:
- some people reported that their phone got bricked when they installed the recovery with ROM Manager (this can be easily undone, there is a thread about this). Never happened to me, everything went smooth & fast. There are other ways to install a recovery if you don't want to use ROM Manager, just check the Development section.
- the ROM you choose can be uncompatible with your recovery (all the new roms are compatible with clockworkmod recovery (this is the recovery you will install via ROM Manager); there are some older roms which are compatible only with AmonRA)
- after flashing a custom kernel the phone might not boot (no panic, just flash the rom again or restore backup); check if your ROM is compatible with the kernel you choose
Flashing with recovery is very safe because everything can be easily undone. As long as the phone boots into recovery there is no panic.
But most of the time if your cautious and do everything as told your fine~~
hahaha.. Enjoy..
Rom manager give Cwm.. So no hassle..

Your backup will appear as a folder on the root of your sdcard (/clockworkmod/folder with the date of your backup). You need to save that folder on your pc just to be safe.
Yes, gingerbread supports unrooting

Thanks! Is it safe to do all the flashing/work from within ROM Manager? It just seems too easy to be true.
Also, is there a 'compatibility matrix' of some sort for the different ROMS and kernels available? Since I want GB, I'm planning on flashing Mik's CM7 mod. Is Franco's kernel compatible with that?

I say it's pretty safe. As I said, worked like a charm for me.
mik_os's rom is flashable via clockworkmod recovery and compatible with franco.kernel (bfs version).
If you are interested in a froyo stock rom with just the root and a performant kernel like franco's one, I could cook a rom for you...

But now rom manager doesn't let us download any Rom(Only for premium) anymore except for Gapps.
download at the Dev page at XDA is the best. cause it shows all the steps required

Thanks. I was able to gain root as well as install CWM. I'm currently backing up my current ROM. Now I'm not sure if this is a stupid question but when I install a custom ROM, wouldn't that overwrite CWM? How do I go back to recovery then, say, to reflash my original ROM?
Flashing a rom through recovery does not overwrite the recovery.
And you can always boot into recovery by pressing and holding home+volume down+power when the phone is off till the recovery menu boots.

I'm just about to flash my first custom ROM. It's all quite clear up to this point. I'm not so sure about the kernel though. Is it all done via the Recovery console? Which options/commands should I take? And what about the ZRAM initializer?

For flashing rom : wipe everything, partition SD card only of you want to use a2sd or data2sd (check ciaox's REPO thread for more info about these two) and then choose flash from zip. If you are wiping battery stats then do it when you are fully charged.
For flashing kernel : wipe cache,dalvik cache and battery stats. No need to partition SD card.
EDIT: yes you need to flash zram initialiser. Keep in mind to flash Cfs version for froyo and bfs version for gb roms. Also always reboot between multiple flashes.

whenever i wipe my phone, and then flash a new rom via CWM.
It seems so good at the begining,
(If I flash mega wipe.zip, the message will pop out right after new rom flashed)
But, if I flash new kernel, the CWM will pop out a message after selected reboot:
Are you sure you want to disable stock recovery?
I always click disable.
But, when boot succesfully, my ROM is recover back to my previous style.
The wall paper has changed, some apps restored.
WHY?
anyone can give me some guide?I want to disable it
Greatly appreciate cuz it so annoying.
I just want a FRESH ROM.

Because I believe you are flashing recovery.img along with the boot.img..just check what is there inside the zip file..
before flashing kernels make sure you have wiped data,cache,dalvik...
If you want a fresh ROM..just flash the ROM after a full wipe..almost always it has the kernel with it ..dont need to flash it later..

Hello.
I'd like to give MIUI a try, but, of course, I'd also like to switch back to my stock ROM if things go wrong or if I don't like MIUI.
How can I backup my entire phone (rooting, Recovery Mode capability and other on-power key-combination-activated features etc etc) and 100% failsafe restore it at any time?
Thanks in advance.
Rooted stock = do a nandroid (CWM) backup which is essentially an 'image' of the phone at the time you make the backup. Try MIUI; don't like it ? Restore the nandroid you took of your rooted stock setup. Sorted (You will need to ensure you backup the contents of your external SD card separately if you have one).
Be careful you don't 'overthink' this, it's really very simple both ways (backup/restore).
My Recovery Mode doesn't have a backup option

Thanks for prompt response. I took a look at current Recovery Mode menu and it doesn't include a backup/restore option like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery. It shows only the above:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
test redbend fota[FS]

I've already downloaded Recovery from clockworkmod.com but didn't do anything with it yet.
Sorry if it has already been detailed in another thread, but I didn't find it and I don't know how to make such nandroid backup.
Thanks.
OBackup
I've just downloaded OBackup app from Play store and am doing my backup.
My question is: after I flash MIUI, what are the tools/steps I'll need to restore my backup?
Thank you very much.
That's the stock Android recovery.
OK...
What you need to do is not install CWM separately. That will only persist until you reboot & is designed to allow you to flash whatever rom/kernel you want which will have it's own version of CWM baked into the kernel.
That backup program you're using; no idea as I've never used it.
What I recommend you do is find a custom kernel you like (actually, any custom kernel will do given you're going to flash Miui) which will have CWM. Flash that into your stock setup, then make a nandroid (CWM) backup of your stock setup so you can go back to it if you don't like Miui/whatever else you try (If you restored this & wanted to go back completely stock/unrooted/etc, all you'd need to do is flash a stock kernel). This is what you asked for in your OP. I warned you not to start overcomplicating things, and this is exactly what you're doing.
The kernel supplied with Miui should have CWM, so if you find you don't like it, you should be able to simply restore the backup you made of your stock setup in CWRecovery.
I also very strongly recommend you learn 'the basics' as you seem to be lacking in this knowledge. Flashing stuff/etc without knowing these things leads to busted phones. Read the tutorials/guides stickied near the top of the General section; there's a wealth of information in those.
Hi!
I've a similiar problem with my GT-i9100!

Hi and tnx for reply!
I've try to do a restore of my sock rom from recovery but it's says to me that there is an error on md5 check sum...
I've install the RootBox ROM in my gt-i9100...but I can't come back to sock from recovery because the stock kernel dosen't work with RootBox's Kernel...
so I've to use odin to flash the stock firmware.......at the origin, my idea didn't comprised use odin because of download mode counter (so that why I did a backup!)...but now I don't have any other way...!
...what a sad story.. XD

You can't restore your backup because of a different MD5 SUM which means that your backup has been corrupted.
Flashing a stock ROM or Kernel via ODIN will not increase your flash counter.
Flash NeatROM Lite, this is the best ROM ever, it like stock with additional things.

You can't flash a stock ROM from recovery by changing .tar.md5 to .zip .
You want to change ROM to Stock, use Mobile Odin to flash a Stock ROM or Flash NeatROM v4.8 Lite.

Hey guys,
I want u to tell me step-by-step how to correctly flash a rom on my phone cause I made so many mistakes on my previous attempts..
I actually only wanted to update my rom (ViperX+ 2.0.1) via OTA, but it didn't work cause I ****ed up (sorry for the expressions) all the
system fileswith Lucky Patcher, no way to solve these problems (I installed a modded playstore with it). I tried so many things to find a solution but now I'm just tired of it.. That's why I just want to install it all from the beginning on.
What I have:
Unlocked phone with ViperX+ 2.0.1, wifi and signal not working cause I failed at pushing modules.
TWRP Recovery
The ViperX+ 2.0.2 Rom
Do I have to place the Rom on the Internal Storage and if yes where?
Do I have to flash boot.img via fastboot, and if yes explain me step by step how to do it (I only remember that I had to use cmd for it)?
Is boot.img = kernel?
EDIT: Succesfully flashed the rom
Do I have to place the Rom on the Internal Storage and if yes where?
I placed it in the Roms folder and installed it from there using TWRP. The reason I asked for this is because when flashing a rom for the first time
I flashed the wrong boot.img before even copying the Rom itself on the sdcard (had to push it on the device using adb sideload)
Do I have to flash boot.img via fastboot, and if yes explain me step by step how to do it (I only remember that I had to use cmd for it)?
No, I used the Kernel flasher provided by the ROM developers, when flashing the first time it didn't work that way, mabe they fixed the flasher
Is boot.img = kernel?
Yes

Thx for the reply although I already did it on my own, I'll keep that thread in mind when I'm going to flash something again
Hai.
I have a galaxy note 3 sm n9005. Have already rooted by finding forum from xda and even install twrp recovery following the guides given.
But im trying to install custom rom. And tried all the roms tat is given from xda for note 3 and could install single one.
Please help to resolve this problem. Im confuse.
Tq.
Not enough details.
It's probably the version of recovery you're using.
Which version of TWRP and what errors are you receiving?

Im using twrp 3.0.2.1 and everytime i try to install a rom it stuck at samsung screen.
And it show md5 not found.
What roms have you tried? What firmware were you on before you started flashing? Sometimes newer roms need the newest firmware like the bootloader and modem to run correctly. Are you wiping system, data, and both caches? If you are going from a Touchwiz rom to, say, a CM based, it might also be necessary to wipe the internal storage. Of course you should back all that up to a PC first, if you do that.

I have my stock rom n internl backed up. I try all. And still it always stuck on samsung screen.
Are you installing the kernel after the rom flash? A lot of newer Samsung roms don't have the kernel built in like CM roms.

How can install kernel after. Everytime i install it reboots its self to samsung screen. Or should go back to recovery and install the kernel back. And thank you for your help till now.
That's definitely why it's not booting, if you didn't do the kernel. If the rom has the Aroma installer, typically the last question asks if you want to reboot now and has a check mark in by default. Just uncheck and it'll go back to recovery. But you can also just go back and flash now and should be good.

Hi
I tried as said and it didnt chnge.
Can i ask bootloader should be at bl and modem should be at cp. Is it correct.
Hi
Thank you for your help.
I did the change on bootloader and modem.
Now im i need to know two more thing.
I download 2 dffernt kind of bootloader n modem.
I flash blxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxboj1..this 2 files were tar.md5 files
Another one which i didnt flash. Blxxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxxxbpb2..this 2 files are tar.tar files..
Can i know whats the different with this 2 files.
One more thing is when i chnge the bootloader and modem will the kernel changes. Or is it different.
Please guide me..im confuse.
Someone might have just mislabeled them. Flashing those will not affect kernel. Different partition of the phone.
Hi
I did change the bootloader n modem.
And even change the kernel as told in the forum. It was note5 port kernel.7.1.0..
After trying to install the darkwolf rom.it was still the same..it did not work.

This is the recommended kernel
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242687310
Recommended recovery is TWRP 2.8.7.0 not the newer 3.0+
Flash other recovery. Boot to TWRP. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik. Flash rom. Wipe caches. Flash kernel. Reboot. Should work according to lots of people on the thread for that rom.
Hi.
How flash kernel.
just flash the tar.md5 file or the tar.zip file
