changing from 1 custom kernel to another - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys. so right now i am running gingerdx v021 with linuxdx v004.
now i want to change from linuxdx to alfs kernel. now is there any special way since i already have a custom kernel or do i just flash it normally?
-wilbso

I've always found that to flash a kernel successfully, Id have to always flash the rom again, to get the original kernel, then clear cache/dalvik, then flash the new kernel. It wouldn't work going from one custom kernel to another, so I'd always flash the rom, then the kernel. And wipe(duh). For me it insures 100% success.

Also this isn't my phone either, but it should help.

_YEa, just have to flash it normally, dont worry , use flashtool

iv had 1 reply saying flash rom (what rom? stock rom or one i already have?)
and one saying i can flash from 1 custom kernel to another
i need a verified answer from experianced people.

just change the kernel normally. its like changing rom, u dont go back to stock rom just to install another rom

Don't forget to clear cache and dalvik-cache. Sometimes kernel seems to be unstable - in that case do a full wipe.

Ok thanks guys. Moving on from linuxdx to alfs

[Q] Stock ROM and Stock Kernel

Hi xda devs,
today I want to flash back to Stock Rom.
Now my problem: I´ve installed MiniCM7 2.1.6 and nAa Kernel 08b. minicm7 requires nAa kernel.
How can I solve that problem? I want stock Kernel and Stock ROM.
Please help.
/EDIT: Problem solved.
1.) I´ve downloaded the Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
2.) Put the Stock ROM on SD card
3.) Installed ROM
4.) Shut down Phone
5.) Open Flash-Tool and select Stock Kernel.
6.) Flashed Kernel.
7.) Turn on Phone and getting "Back to Basic".
Hit THANKS button if I helped.
Or use SEUS, only 1 click and you have stock rom + kernel ;-)

[Help!]WiFi not work when using nAa Kernel

Hi everyone, I've faced a big problem for installing ROM based on nAa Kernel,
actually I'm using PrimeHD Stock Kernel Version since my wifi only works for stock kernel...
After I tried MiniCM9 based on nAa Kernel, I can switch on the wifi,
but it becomes very unstable and reconnect for many time....
I can't download Apps from Google Play and even I can't connect my Google account...:crying:
I believe my bootloader is unlocked because of the result received from s1tool
Is there any solution for this problem?
You flashed them in correct order ?
Kernel > Full Wipe > Flash Rom

You mean that I have to reflash the nAa Kernel? Flash the Kernel for 2 times?

if its still not working the answer is Yes
and the ROM too..
don't restore data from different kernel.
i.e
you had flashed kernel B but you're restoring from kernel A
it make error..
Clear cache,go to partition and click format cache. Full wipe and reflash rom!

Kernel help

Hello. I want to ask is it safe to flash kernel after using the Tom for a few days? Like changing kernel instead of changing it when the rom is flashed? And is squadzone latest cyanmobile kernel the best?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
here in galaxy mini a universal kernel had not been built
but almost every cm rom's kernel is compatible with another cm rom but not with miui or other
#1 Post : Yes
Even stock-roms need to have same base (XWKTN must same to get same kernel, etc)
Will flashing a new kernel wipes everything?

Not really. Kernel could be flashed without wiping anything.

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance
If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

No,users have reported that custom kernels work with stock rom(I remember very clear a user who used naa kernel with stock rom)
Maybe older versions...
If I'm wrong then I apologize
