[Q] help. Modem and kernel won't change!

Hi. I was running CM7 fine and then flashed MIUI last night and now i can't change the kernel or modem no matter how many times i try and flash in clockwork or clear caches or factory reset. I've lost cell network completely. Wifi works interestingly. Any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this so I can actually flash new modems and krnels? They show as successfully flashing in CWM but About Phone doesnt change!
Would love to avoid going to sto ck via Odin if I can.

what modem and kernel are you trying to flash. you need the update .zip to be designed for gingerbread, different scripting for gb. so the kernel shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to revert to 2.2.
im not sure if gingerbread is weird but maybe you can extract the zimage and modem.bin you are trying to flash and archive them in .tar files and odin flash. as long as you are not flashing anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin it shouldn't break the ability to odin back to stock.

A word of caution: If u get on GB kernel, and go to recovery, and try to use these kernel zips to flash back, they won't work. I realized this the hard way last night.

if you read any cm7 or other gingerbread thread they say you need 3 button recovery/download. this is one reason why! i think there should be a generic froyo kernel in the proper type of update file to revert. but maybe they are trying to scare away newbs till they complete cm7 or atleast have a release candidate.

Sorted in the end.
I just formatted every partition in Mounts and Storage first before a reflash.

(Q) Continuum 4.1 & GB Bootloaders

Is it safe to flash continuum 4.1 (Froyo version) while i have the gingerbread bootloaders on my phone? I ask because I have recently learned that some roms will change the second bootloader while flashing (cognition) which is no bueno if I still have GB bootloaders.
Thanks

Should be. I know v4 is safe to do, I did it myself. I also know that Cezar doesn't like messing with bootloaders, so I font think he would add one to 4.1,IMO

I want to see the difference between continuum 4.1 and 5.5 (mainly battery life)
For the install I figure I will flash the Onix kernal though odin with reboot unchecked then boot into recovery and flash the 4.1 rom. I reckon this should be safe eh?

Both have totally different bootloaders....Dont try this method u will hard brick your phone...try flashing stock using various methods written on the OP of Continuum 5.5....Dont be lazy and flash to stock to go back to froyo....u will have less chances of bricking ur phone
Also Onix is froyo kernel...I am sure it wont be compatible with GB rom

I don't think you read my post correctly. GB bootloaders work fine on froyo roms and really, the easiest way to hard brick the phone is while odin is flashing the bootloaders.
BTW you can flash a 2.2 kernal with reboot unchecked, pull the battery and boot directly into recovery mode to flash the 2.2 rom without issue. Continuum 4.1 does a full wipe anyway.
Thanks for your opinion tho.

Cezar has a "safe"method to return to stock (jf6). It is jf6 tar, without bootloaders. It had its own thread in development, and its also available in the op of the 5.5 thread. If you follow the op, you should be ok.

Why would you need that actually, it's the biggest downgrade you can get.

Maybe hes going to give it to his warranty.. so he wants it as it was before

I want it because i dont want flash with odin (mess imei) if i want my warranty back.

ODIN does in no way mess up our IMEI

There is always change to mess imei with odin. My odin stucks every 9/10 times to flashing system img. So reverting back to stock with nandroid backup and cwm flashable stock recorvery image would be definetly faster and safer.

Odin has nothing to do with your IMEI.. (/efs folder)

+1.And if you want your waranty back you can flash a stock rom via Odin ....(i think)

hmm. I have heard peoples losing imei's after odin flash. I would be happy if someone could make cwm flashable stock recorvery because my odin stucks so often.

and btw.... for which stock ROM? I made one a while back. This was for XXKPU I think. But should work with every stock ROM I guess.

I guess he wants a cwm recovery zip to flash from stock recovery?...(english is getting harder and harder theese days)
Even if he puts stock recovery back, he still needs ODIN to flash a stock ROM for warranty

Nope. A CWM flashable file that restores the stock recovery. And that's exactly what I attached.

Flashing that zip does not effect anything.
Also tried with mounted system data

But now it does. Didn't add the line to extract the actual image to flash Had better days I guess

Now it works perfect. THanks

Hi,
can you give an example how to convert an stock image to an image flashable by clockworkmod. My problem is, that my USB port is brocken, therefore i can´t use Odin. Mobile Odin seems not to support repartion - is this a problem - is repartion needed for stock images ?
So what can i do with an active clockworkmod to install an stock I9000XXJVR_SWC.zip ?
Thanks

[Q] Go back to stock kernel

We can many find impressive custom kernel like franco kernel or speedmod in Note. I want to flash one of those great kernel, but just in case, I want to back up my stock kernel because maybe I need to flash It back. Could you tell how to back up my stock kernel and flash my phone back to STOCK kernel ? I have Mobile Odin but never used It yet. I think this thread is about ROM not Kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Thank you
PS :I use N7000DXLP9

As far as I know you cant backup just the kernel. But you can download it from one of the threads in development section if you ever need it again.

Does install ROM from this thread through Mobile Odin

Will bring my phone to stock kernel ? I think ROM and Kernel is different think in Android because we ROM (for example CM 9) can be flashed with different kernel.

Yes installing one of the roms you linked will also install a stock kernel.

You can try ChainFire's CF-Root kernel. That's about as closest as you can, in getting back your stock kernel without flashing back the whole ROM itself.

still the answer is not clear !
would any professional help us ?

Yes, stock kernel can alone be flashed without flashing the whole rom, you can download your stock kernel from this thread and then use pc odin (in .tar format) or mobile odin (if in zimage or .tar format) to flash it.

My Cappy is freakin out !!!!

OMG, I had CM7 on it for about a year now, it's been great. Now I tried to flash a different (corn) kernel recovery to it and it's flippin out. I can't get it into recovery mode anymore, the 3 buttons or anything else I do just puts it into download mode. I've flash it back to a stock rom UCKK4 using a 1 click program and it'll boot up but I get all these weird colors on the screen before and after the AT&T logo, like the boot partition is corrupted. Oh man, I just wanted to put the corn recovery on it with cm9, plzzzz help. p.s. I really spent ALL day yesterday reading and trying to figure this out, hoping there was an easy fix.

Don't worry, it is an easy fix.
1. You can't use corn with CM, corn kernel is based off stock KK4 gingerbread.
2. The garbled screen you are getting means that you are trying to boot a gingerbread kernel without having gingerbread bootloaders. You need to flash a stock gingerbread package that includes them.

They meant gingerbread boot loaders because they are backwards compatible with froyo and eclair stock ROMs. Just download a one click stock gingerbread ROM with boot loaders and flash. I'd go for UCKK4 package provided by 4-2ndtwin with boot loaders and repartition
