The question is, i have a custom rom installed now, if i download and install a new kernal that didnt come with the rom. Will i have to reinstall the rom and all of im data, or will it just reboot as it was before the kernel change ?
Are you soff or son?
If your not soff you will have to flastboot flash the kernel. Than you will have to flash the kernel to get the correct kernel modules (needed for WiFi)
If you are soff then just flash the kernel zip and your good to go
It wont delete the ROM...as long as you don't wipe data, I usually don't wipe anything but some people wipe cache and dalvic cache

You should always wipe cache and dalvik-cache after a flash

THANK YOU
I am s on. I just wasnt sure if i could do that and not loose everything. Thanks for the help !
Use a program from the play store called flash image GUI. It works great on S-on devices. I changed kernels and what I did was use the program to flash the boot image for the new kernel and then I booted into recovery and installed the kernel zip. Worked great. If you have any WiFi issues afterwards, you might have to move some files to a system folder. I'm sorry, I can't remember the files right now, but if you had problems, I could look for them for ya. The program is just much easier than flashing through fast boot on a computer.

hi guys, i have modified Ohsaka Superwipe V2 to work on our wildfires.
original thread and info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
I have tested it and it seems to clean out the phone and ext partition.
Flash from recovery, then reboot back to recovery. REMEMBER to do a backup of your cureent rom before using this, as you will lose everything.
Enjoy

Sorry. What does this do?

It's for formatting your phone and ext before flashing roms. Check the link in OP for more info

men, we are so confused with all those recovery stuff..
this looks useful though. all I have to do is flsh it from clockwork recovery and then use its benefits? As soon as I read your post I tried to find some instructions how to use correctly SuperWipe but I didn't find much. I am under clockworkmod 2.5.0.1.. I don't know if that's a prolem. So, after SuperWipe we firstly flash latest Radio, then Gapps and finally ROM?
Only flash radio if you need to for that Rom. This cleans out your phone in one swoop. This is meant to be better than any recovery wipe aswel as fastboot wipe.
Superwipe then reboot to recovery then flash Rom gapps etc
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
we can already clean everything before we install a new rom on wildfire im sure, is this really needed?
I know you can already wipe. No obligation to use it
Some roms can have problems when you only factory reset this solves those problems by wiping everything

Thanx stevendeb25,

I am deaf. i am able understand about android sdk fastboot cmd thing on youtube. do i have to rom zip moved to internal sd then wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, and System in cmw then flash rom img fastboot? i wanna install borked rom. my phone is vivid.
To flash a Rom if you are s-on
1: download the Rom
2: backup everything ( apps sms.. )
3: extract boot img from Rom
4: power off your vivid, pull battery, hold down power button and volume down button and when the bootloader screen pops up use the volume buttons to navigate to fastboot.
5: connect vivid to pc and flash boot IMG with fastboot flash boot boot.img command
6: reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik, cache, and do a factory reset.
7: flash rom

Most of the time all you'll need to do is flash the new Rom.zip in recovery and wipe dalcik cache and cache. If more steps are necessary ill make sure you all know. If you're running into trouble or weird stuff. You'll need to full wipe (data cache dalvik and system), and then flash the Rom.zip

I just got a nexus one for $35 that i plan on using mostly as an mp3 player. I rooted it using the one click method but it's still S-on. Part of my issue is that booting into recovery using CWM only works maybe 25% of the time. Not sure why that is. A couple times I've been able to flash a rom via recovery but after seeing the X screen, the phone bootloops on the next splash screen. This has happened on two GB roms - MIUI and CM 7.2.
Any guess on why this happens? One reason I want to flash a rom is that the camera doesn't work so I'm curious if it would work in a different rom.

Before flashing a ROM, clear cache/ dalvik-cache from recovery. If you don't do these, then you will see bootloops.
I had been doing that through rom manager but just did it through recovery. still bootlooping.
I wiped cache but did not factory reset

If you are changing ROMs, its always advisable to do a factory reset in addition to clearing cache and dalvik. Try it
Sent from my Nexus One
Best advice is to skip ROM manager and always do everything manually in recovery, this has never been a problem for me
And just because, I would suggest using 4ext recovery as in my opinion it is by far the most superior recovery... Just saying
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Unfortunately, I've tried flashing manually via recovery too...still bootloops
Check md5sum of ROM (maybe bad download)
Make sure you wipe fully (manually in recovery or with fastboot)
Make sure you meet requirements of ROM in op (as in you flashed gapps if needed or you have a large enough system partition etc)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
yeah, i haven't checked the md5's but it's odd that it's happened with both official miui and cyanogenmod. i did wipe cache and dalvik. i think i'm just going to give up. i'd do a factory restore but don't want to do that because then i'd have to root my phone again. i rooted the phone using a Vista computer but now I'm back home and my computer runs windows 8. from what I can tell, installing the android SDK is kinda complicated on W8.
Factory reset is needed and will not mean you have to reroot your phone, this is something that would be done before each flash, in fact the cleaner the wipe the less chance of an issue.
Also there is no need for the SDK to root (but its easy to get for windows 8 anyway and tools such as fastboot and adb are very handy... Also there are other ways to get these tools without the SDK) but all that besides the point, these are your steps
Nandroid backup
Wipe everything as clean as possible
Flash ROM and anything else needed (gapps etc)
Reboot
This is the procedure you should follow for any ROM flash for any android and never a need to reroot in between
Best of luck
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I really appreciate the help. the reason I mention the SDK is that my computer doesn't recognize my phone unless I install the SDK and the associated drivers. So I'd hate the wipe my phone so that I can flash a rom, but then be unable to flash a rom because I'm not rooted!
But you feel confident that if I factory reset, I won't loose root?
I factory reset daily! You'll be just fine, when you factory reset and wipe all partitions you are following the proper procedure to change roms. When you flash the new one you are sure to still have root access
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
well, did a factory reset last night but i'm still having the same problem. I'm at a loss.
Hi.
After unlocking my HTC, installing recovery and a custom ROM (ARHD 13.3) I have a problem with flashing kernels through recovery. Every time when it starts, phone reboots into system, just after the flashing starts, withough flashing the kernel. Any ideas?
Anyone? :-\ tried reflashing Rom with full wipe, tried other roms, changed the recovery...always the same.

Sounds strange! What kernel are you trying to flash? Did you also make sure your download's MD5 is correct; could be a bad download.
Yes, md5 sum is correct. I'm trying to flash anything strange is that after full wipe and reflashing Rom I can flash anything before first boot. After first boot can't flash zip files, like Rom cleaner or kernel. Phone always reboots just after flashing starts.
Once I've found that someone had such problem and formating something through adb helped...but can't find this info again
I tried flashing almost every kernel available.

I think Rom Cleaner should be flashed before first boot anyway, but not the kernel. Are you clearing cache and dalvik before trying to flash?
Yes. I even clean cache through sdk :-\ yep, the Rom cleaner should be flashed before first boot, but anyway it shouldn't reboot even later as I think.

Weird
Just for the sake of trying, a couple of ideas:
1- wipe the cache from recovery (not fastboot) and also wipe dalvik, then immediately flash kernel
2- perhaps there's a permission issue with the zip(s) / folder(s)
EDIT: perhaps you need to update recovery?
I reflashed recovery, tried CWM, TWRP...same on both think about going back to stock with RUU, then trying everything again from the start:-\
First advance...tried.
Second...U mean fixing permissions? Don't know if it's related to that problem, but of course will try.

Though I don't think custom recovery would have issues with permissions (since it's su privilege), it could be the folder where your zip files are doesnt have rw permission, and the recovery attempts to access the folder, is unable to, and therefore just reboots.
Try putting the zip file in a different directory (or maybe even the root folder) and try again.
In root folder? Don't understand where exactly...tried to place it on different locations in storage.

Obvious question, but the kernel is for your version of Android isn't it? You're not flashing a 4.3 kernel on to 4.2.2?
of course not I'm on android 4.2.2 and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel version
---------------------------
as for now everything's ok. Frankly speaking I didn't do anything new. reflashed recovery for the third time i believe, did the full wipe also few times, flashed arhd, rom cleaner and the kernel one by one and it works...for now
---------------------------
and no..it's still the same. After first boot, I rebooted into recevery, tried to flash different zip and what....and reboot just after flashing:/ it makes me sick...:/
Thanks to one and all. I was facing the same issue of being unable to install the Bulletproof kernel on my HTC One having ViperOne 4.2.0 custom rom and TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery.
I followed the advice here and wiped 'Dalvik cache' and 'cache' and (without rebooting) directly dirty flashed the Bulletproof kernel which did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else too.
Got the same problem. Tried with TWRP 2.6.6.3, 2.6.6.4 & actual CWM with failed tries to flash kernel,bootscreens,themes & the 360 camera fix.
Also tried to flash these recovery via fastboot and at least the m7&m7ul versions.
It happens suddenly
Btw: i'm on an tampered,unlocked hboot 1.54
Any help or ideas are much appreciated

Hi Guys. This is the link for Android Revolution HD 30.0 for HTC ONE with Sense 5.5 and Android 4.3. I have an international HTC ONE with android revolution HD 12.1 by mike1986 and android ver 4.2.2 . I would be very grateful if any one gives a tutorial on how to flash this rom on my htc one. I am asking for a tutorial because last time (when flashing my previous rom) my phone got nearly bricked (no wifi , no storage were the least of my worries) . I managed to unbrick the phone somehow but this time i want a proper tutorial. PLZ anyone post this tutorial. I will give a thanks to one who posts it...(I have already downloaded Android_Revolution_HD-One_30.0zip file) And i have a TWRP recovery..
You need to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, makijg a preliminary assumption you have done so. Download the file. It will be in the download folder. Once downloaded boot up recovery CWRM or TWRP, whichever you installed. Make sure you have a NAND backup of existing ROM yoyu are currently using, safety measure.
Wipe data/ factory reset via recovery
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvic/cache
Install zip from sd card
Search for Android_Revolution_HD-One_30.0.zip in download folder
Follow Aroma Installer Option
Reboot
Wait for full boot may take a few minutes, be patient
BTW if you experience boot loop which you shouldnt just hold down power button for 15 seconds. Once phone turns off hold down volume down and it will boot into bootloader.
From there volume down to recovery option and try again
