[Q] Help flashing SwiftExtreme Kernel - LG Optimus 2x

Hello.
I´m currently running CM7.1, and I wanted to flash the newest swiftextreme kernel for CM, but I get a black screen after the lg logo. I´m not sure if I´m doing it properly. Do I need to wipe cache or dalvik-cache in orded to do it, or both? and also, if i need to wipe something, should I do it after or before I flash the kernel?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

i think u should wipe both n then try rebooting it might fix the problem of a hanging boot screen
as per the steps of flashing , u should have wiped before flashing
but yesterday i wiped after flashing coz my phone was stuck in a boot loop n then it got fixed
hope it helps

I got the same problem
And I had tried your solution, and it doesnt work
However, I notice one thing

Should there be a quote "Installing System Files..."?
thx

No as it is kernel it doesn't concern system partition, except for writing some files for example in init.d folder. Perhaps the dev forgot to put the info line.

the latest version for CM 7.1 stable support is 05112011, above that version is not CM 7.1 stable version

Thanks everyone. I tried everything, and that´s right, i don´t think Cn7.1 stable supports the latest swiftextreme. I´m now on Miui android 1.11.18, it runs very well.Battery life is very good.
Thanks

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?

[Q] Installing custom kernel = boot loop

Hello, when i try to install custom kernel i face a boot loop. I only tried with v10, not tried with v20 though. Tried 3 different kernels and the same. Why is that? It just doesn't work.
And can you tell me some working custom kernel for v20l to try?
Thanks in advance.
What rom are you using?
For myself, usually its an issue of partition beinh ext3 or ext4 that will cause bootloop. I will usually try back2ext3 from paul or ext4 converter.. either one usually fix the bootloop depending on kernel requirements.
Cheers!
Not enough details. Which kernel?
On total stock ROM or on custom stock based ROM?
We are talking about kernel do don't use what is mentioned just above, it will wipe your all system.
I had a boot loop problem after installing a custom ROM based on stock ROM. I didn't wipe the phone before updating to custom ROM. After recovering the original ROM, I wiped the phone from CWM and then updated it and all works well now.
Well i have tried Neoblaze, HorsePower, Spica. I don't wipe after/before installing.
I om on stock rom. Then i must go back with back2ext3.

After installing the kernel try wiping cache and dalvik and see if that helps.
that's your problem, you have to wipe cache and dalvick cache after flashing. hope this can help
Thanks you, im very happy - working now. Flashed HorsePower.
Does Flashing a Custom Kernal Using Orange Fox Recovery Leads to Bootloop ?

Help: CM10 stuck on boot screen since I flashed it.

Before I used CM10 i just used the stock (flashed latest GB) that came with my phone. So I flashed CWM5 and cleared all the three stuff I was supposed to. I installed the CM10 zip and since then its been stuck on the boot animation, not even a loop. Just the animation.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well happened with me once when I had put AOKP ROM in my Galaxy Note.
Here is what I did:
Go to Recovery.
Wipe Cache.
Try reboot
No results?
Recovery again.
WIpe Dalvik Cache Also
Try reboot.
Still no results?
Try to wipe data/fac reset and re flash some other ROM as of now (which you are confident about that it will work)
Now go ahead and let the old ROM boot. (Surely it will, as you would have used prior)
Now, go connect USB and check MD5 of the file you had kept on SD Card (I mean the CM10 file)
I found that my MD5 didnt match.
If you think it didnt match download again.
If you know it matches then go for reflash.
But this time before flashing the new ROM just use some cleaning script such as Ultimate KErnel Cleaning Script. In Galaxy Note I used Jbroid Kernel Script. I aint sure now if you can use Jbroid in Ace.
Goof luck!
Press Thanks
I got it working, what I had to do was flash CM7, then CM9 then CM10 :/ after that it was fine Thanks for the help
Welcome
The problem was with the kernel being different in CM10 and official version.

Problem installing Devil Kernel 1.1.3

Hi, I'm wondering if I'm doinbg something wrong but I can't install the new Devil kernel version on latest Helly Bean nightly with 1.1.2 Devil Kernel Installed. I downloaded the file 3 times so it's most probably not a corrupted file problem. And the first time I installed it gave me major problems and had to revert back to gb, couldn't install HB from there because of status 7 errors wich only stopped when i did a GB-ICS-HB install. I tried to revert to 1.1.2 now but phone is stuck on HB bootscreen so I think I'll have to Odin GB again and then ICS and HB+1.1.2 but I like to have latest rom versions and kernel. Does anyone see where I fail in my installation? BTW I always wipe cache and Dalvik cache between any new zip installation, just in case....
Thanks in advance for any help and I have to say alot of thanks already for all infos on this forum because I went from noob to not so noob in a matter of days by reading all your usefull threads! :good:

Changing from one to another can be tricky, sometimes you need to flash TWICE
But First Backup your EFS folder from GB stock to SD card, do the complete wipes than flash, If it loops, flash again

I do this with roms, thanks for the idea to do it with kernels, I'll try it in a couple of days, enjoying All In One 10/08 for the time being! :good:

[Q] URGENT My Note doesn't boot after flashing HydraCore v7

Hello guys, i have a Note on stock ICS 4.0.4 and i was using SpeedMod kernel untill a few minutes ago, but now i tried to flash HydraCore v7 Standard(From here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tgt862w7t0dbbwf/wtCeOLxSsU/HydraCore 7 ) and after that my phone refuses to boot, it only gets to "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen but after that the screen just turns black and i need to remove the battery to try again or to go into CMW.
I tried to reflash the SpeedMod .zip but it doesn't work(The CMW version changes, but i still can't boot).
I'm a noob, brought my Note two months ago and i am an Android noob(Came from iOS).
Could someone here PLEASE help me?

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Next time read the threads for a new kernel or a new Custom Rom here in XDA and follow the installation instructions carefully. This reduces the chances of error dramatically.
But first try to clean the caches and reboot again.
Just wiped Dalvik Cache and Partition Cache but i still can't boot.

Please try the factoy reset.
As the poster before said: factory reset is a possibility.
But: only if you really sure you're using a recovery in a safe kernel. This should be from what you told before.
Another option I would try first:
So I would search for the Philz kernel for your ICS and install this first in CWM. Maybe you can boot with this into Android. If not this gives you a safe environment for factory reset or installing a new Rom
When you want revert from HydraCore v7 kernel you need to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32806581&postcount=10783
After flashing this .zip, see if it boots properly, then you can try flash any other kernel that you want (speedmod, philz, or other version of HydraCore/Notecore)
Edit: oh I see this file isnt avilable anymore, so try this link:

Thanks dude, you saved me!
Didn't need to do the factory resets, used this .zip and now i can boot. Think i will stay with that kernel for a while now Maybe later i get back to SpeedMod. But, anyway, thank you all for helping me out with this guys, I really appreciate it.
