Can someone point me to a step by step guide on how to flash a new kernel to my HTC Hero? I currently have the following when I look under kernel:
2.6.49-bc0d2cff

I want to flash HoneyBun's kernel so I can achieve overclock on the nfinite stock 2.1 ROM.
Thanks..what I tried doing was completely wiping my phone, then flashing HoneyBun's kernel via recovery on my phone then flashing nfinite ROM, but I still cannot overclock when I try to use SetCPU (it still only lets me go up to 528 Mhz)
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. I was flashing the kernel then the ROM over it, which basically overwrites the kernel anyway. So, I flashed the ROM first then the kernel, and now it works perfectly.

i am trying to flash a rom on my cdma hero by sprint and i keep getting these bootloops. Any idea what i can do to correct this?
A little more info please. Which ROM? Which recovery version?
1. Make sure you totally wipe your phone in recovery before you flash any custom rom to it.
2. Depending on what rom you are trying to flash, it may have an uncapped kernel in it that boots at overclocked speeds that your Hero can't handle. You will need to find one of the 691mhz max kernels in the Development section to flash after you flash the rom.
Hi all
I possess one o2x at present there 1035.21_20110218 on mckr12 Roma fr16 beta 4.
I noticed that when I flash a capable kernel oc / uv, my phone stuck on the log's logo...
Anybody has already met this problem?
Thanx
No but if you reflash the rom it will remove the new kernal and put the original one back on and you will keep all your apps etc aswell
I have this problem too, i flash the new Fr17 & Fr18 mcr can't boot. If i just flash the older Fr16 kernel, it booted...............
soo. no way to have a uc/uv kernel on my o2xs ? :'(
If you flash vork then it won't work cause it was meant for CM7
just reflash back the ROM in recovery
Back to Stock Rom.
Try to back to stock rom as said dusitmon123, then Wipe everything, and reinstalling custom rom will work...

i was using ICS RC2.1, and i used the glitch kernel, then i updated to rc4.1, but i nstalled Devil kernel, after installing it each time i go to recovery, all i can find clock work recovery mod not the new kernel, from settings, the installed kernel is:
3.1.10-galaxys+telus-257255-g0b9d335-dirty.
so how can i change it :S, even i tried to install many kernels, each time return to the original..
thank you
U have the devils kernel only. What's the issue??
nooo, i mean each time i install new kernel and reboot the recovery i cant find the new kernel , i only find the old sticky one...
Hi,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sa...te_Guide#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery mentions a "hardcore's kernel". What kind of kernel is that? Is it the actual system kernel used by the ROM one is installing afterwards or is it just some sort of boot kernel for the recovery application?
It also mentions hardcore's even though the kernel logo during booting refers to Semaphore.
No one?

It is not the Stock kernel, it is a customized kernel which can be used for the custom ROM installation via ClockworkMod_Recovery.
thanks.
Thanks forupeople but that was not exactly the question. I would like to know whether the mentioned kernel is the actual kernel on which a ROM then is running on or whether all ROMs come with their own kernel and this is something else.
Really no one?

All ROM's have kernels included in their package, without it your phone wont be able to boot..In this case Hardcore ( its actually a speedmod kernel, maybe tweaked by Hardcore) is being used to give you CWM recovery on Stock ROM's which do not have CWM recovery but only 2e recovery., after you flash CM, its removed and the new kernel from your update, is used
Instead of Odin, CWM recovery is used for ICS and JB installation

Thanks. I have to admit I am not really very familiar with the boot process, however I was under the assumption that CWM is just a replacement for the stock's basic boot/recover loader and both do not need an actual Android kernel as they both come before it in the boot order.

To make it simple.
Boot loaders are generally locked, hence needs to be rooted (unlocked), in oder to add CWM to it.
Custom kernels or kernels that are customized, do this function of rooting (unlocking the boot loader) as well as adding the CWM (customized recovery features) to the boot loader.
Only customized kernels will work with custom ROMS.
Hence when you flash a custom kernel on top of a stock ROM/with stock kernel, it is replaced and gives the added features (that stock kernel lacks) that is needed for flashing Custom ROMS
The reason being Gingerbread stock kernels will not work for ICS ROMs..hence must be replaced and this is vital for phones operations, since one main function of kernel is to control the hardware.
If I flashed a rom that has a different kernel and then went back to a rom that has a stock kernel do I not have a stock kernel anymore?
I went from Poprocks to texodus then back to poprocks.
If the new rom you flashed included the stock kernel, then that's the kernel you have now. Kernels don't survive a rom flash, they get overwritten by whatever kernel is included in the rom.
Thanks
