I am having a bootloop problem - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

How to flash new kernel

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.

[Q] Different Kernels?

Sorry I am new with this so don't laugh at the noob question
Is there a way to flash a different Kernel onto the phone? What would be the difference between the ROM and the Kernel?
I have rooted my phone and installed a recovery and loaded a ROM but is there another process to load a different Kernel?
Thanks!

It goes over what's different between each Kernel and how to flash them
Flashing a kernel is generally done the same way as a rom

Hi guys I'm new to the N7000 forums, but I am no means new to the android and flashing scene. I'm just a bit confused as to how to safely install ROM's on the note.
I've attached a screenshot of my "about phone" so you guys can tell me what kernel I should flash before installing different ROMs
The ROM(s) I'm interested in flashing are Jellybam, Sweet ROM (JB version) and Ultimate jellybean. Can these roms work with any safe kernel? i.e. once iv'e flashed philz or franco kernel I can let the flashing begin.
Also do I need to flash a safe kernel in order to install cyanogenmod or other, not based on stock roms?
Forgot to mention that I am rooted. Any help at all would be appreciated, if I am wrong about anything so far, feel free to set me straight.
Thanks to all who responded, if anyone else wants to reply feel free but i'm going to mark this as resolved so their won't be any confusion.

if you are on stock kernel then download Philz kernel for LP7, flash that in recovery, should give you root again aswell. then you can flash away to any of the ROMs you listed above. just every time you flash a ROM or think of factory reset or data wiping make SURE you're on a SAFE kernel. that's all
as you are rooted, just install any safe kernel like hydracore or philz. thats all. then you can try out any rom. Just make sure you follow the instruction to flash the rom in the OP
I saw that the Philz kernel has a lot of different versions, which one do I choose, am I right in saying the UBLPC one, as that is my build number? Or any one can work, I also read that you should not flash with the temp CWM, I will admit though I used the temp CWM to flash the root files and i'm still ok but I don't want to take any chances, how do I flash with the stock recovery?

this is the one you use - PhilZ-cwm6-UBLPC-UUB-2.7
http://www.mediafire.com/file/35d4kd...2.7-signed.zip
the zip file mentioned above can be flashed using stock recovery. Put the file on ext SD card > boot into recovery > apply update from external storage > thats it

First, forget about the franco kernel. The franco kernel for the Note is outdated and thus useless. Second, if you plan to flash a JB leak the only kernel you should use is PhilZ. And especially important with the JB leaks is to stick exactly to the instructions how to flash. Otherwise your phone won't even boot.
Have fun with your device! The Note is still an outstanding phone.

Thanks guys for the quick replies, i'm gonna flash the philz kernel now and give the leaked version of JB a try.
make nandroid backup 1st..

[Q] Do kernels always include recovery?

The first thing I had to do to root this phone was flash a kernel which put on CWM.
Then I flashed CM10.1 which put on a newer CWM.
Then I flashed on kernel which put on a branded version of CWM.
On my previous phone, the recovery partition was flashed separate from anything else. This seems a much safer idea as no matter what you flash onto the phone you can always go to recovery to mend it.
The way this is on the SGS, if I flashed the wrong thing I could surely break recovery as easily as the rom and be stuck. Is this a technical limitation in that the SGS doesn't support recovery as usefully as it might or what?
This presumably also makes it impractical to have the recovery I want? If I flash a touch recovery for instance then it's just going to be removed next rom update.
