changing from 1 custom kernel to another

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

No, try once more. I experienced it too. It was solved by pulling the battery, waiting a full minute, then entering recovery (whilst booting).
If that fails:
- Flash stock ROM via flashtool
- Root (or not) [oneclick or flashtool]
- Flash nAa 11via flashtool
- format /system & do full-wipe
- flash miniCM7 2.1.9
- wipe Dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats (optional)
- reboot!
Trust me, 2.1.9 is a great improvement over 2.1.8

Yes
I have this problem too...It just comes without knocking the door
i think that it is a problem about kernel...
actually i'm waiting for the next update of minicm7 and nAa kernel...

Here is what you have to do.
If you still have your MiniCM6 backup, restore it using a recovery. Full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache then power off your phone. Then, use Flashtool to flash back stock kernel.
If you do not have the backup, download MiniCM6, boot into recovery, full wipe, wipe cache nd dalvik cache, then flash MiniCM6. Power off and use Flashtool to flash stock kernel.
Done (hopefully)

I don't know. I think the question should be more clear

I'm sorry for that, I don't know and don't understand about flash tool or flash kernel..I'm really don't understand, I try to find answer and still don't know...could you explain me? Why do we do??
Sent from my E15i using XDA

First tell me which rom do you want to flash ?
We do the flashtool stuff if we want to install a kernel or sometimes rom.. But you can install rom through recovery also.

Look we use flashtool to:
1-flash new kernels
2-install recovery on stock kernel.
3-rooting the phone
4- unlocking the bootloader (last version)
5-installing apps.
6-creating bundles if we want to restore Eclair
----------//-------
To flash a new ROM:
if your bootloader is unlocked u flash a new kernel and then using recovery u flash the Zip file which is the ROM.
If u cannot unlock your bootloader then u cannot change your kernel and must use ROMS which support stock kernel.

Well he can use xrecovery if unlocking bootloader is not possible (?)

Did I tell anything wrong?
Yes he should use Xrecovery to flash new ROMs.
But he can't change the kernel or the phone will be bricked (softly)
Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.

Oh yes..Lets see if he can unlock his BL or not
You didn't say anything wrong

If u don't know about flashtool this means that you are in stock kernel....
Two ways
First if you had made a backup with cwm you can restore it with cwm,that will replace the current rom with the one you had backed up
second,if you haven't made backup then install your old rom just as you installed it first time,put it in SD,go to cwm or xrecovery ,full wipe,wipe dalvik, install zip from SD....

Maybe he never tried to unlock bootloader...and that's the reason he doesn't know anything about flashtool

Yes,what did I tell?!
If he is on stock kernel there is no need to tell him how to flash kernels......
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

I mean if he can unlock his bootloader he can flash kernels.
And I say maybe the reason his bootloader is unlocked is that he never tried to unlock it since he is a noooooob.

[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!

Have you fix your bootloop now?are you on stock?
Go to "about phone" and see what it tells. If it isn't 15 upgrade it with pccompanion
Have you ever flashed any custom rom before?

Ok guys,If you are sure that you are doing the installation right then there may be a problem with the rom,wait for an update and meanwhile try another rom
