Virtuous Quattro beta question

Since I'm unable to post in the developer thread I must ask here.
Is there anyway of getting Quattro beta 6 kernel for the newer betas?
My InS freezes with the new kernels all the time if CPU O/C is higher than the standard 1.0Ghz. With beta 6 kernel I can get it up-to 1.6Ghz and it's working flawlesly.
Also if anyone can provide me correct or better answer why the beta 7 and 8 freeze my phone I'll be more than glad to hear them (I'm not total noob, i've been flashing roms since 2010 but right now I'm little confused )
Thank you in advance and sorry about my English

you can try extract boot.img from 6th beta and flash it manually

So just flash the file boot.img from the zip in recovery?
I will try that, thank you

Thx so much!
I flashed the boot.img manually and now it works perfectly with RC1 and up-to 1.7Ghz O/C!
Btw, RC1 seems to have the wifi problem again..

You have to flash the new boot.img everytime you change to a higher beta. If you forget this, the ROM wil still boot but Wifi won't work.

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.

Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.

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....

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.

Set CPU to higher MHz

Kinda new to the android os, coming from windows 7 and windows mobile before. First, i have a HTC Vivid.....I am currently still running the vivd stock rom...I have rooted it with S-off, and have flashed a few different Kernels. Doesnt matter witch kernel i use, if i try to set the CPU to a higher MHz it seams to only show 1188 as the max. A couple of the kernels are suppose to run little bit higher than that, like for one, the KangBang kernel is rated at 2.0 with S-off, but i still only get 1188 option as the max. Now, with these apps like SetCPU really able to change and or adjust the CPU frequency?
Thanks!!

Before flashing a custom kernel you have to first flash an insecure boot.IMG. if you want oc. Go to my kernel thread and down load the stockish kernel. Extract the holiday.IMG from the zip and flash it in fastboot.
It may be flashable in recovery selecting the holiday option when the installer asks. After doing this you should be able to flash any oc kernel of your choosing. You only have yo flash the insecure boot.IMG once. Afterwards you shouldn't ever need to do it again.

Thank you! Didn't see anywhere about having to do that, will try that when I get home today. I'm guessing that after I flash that .IMG I need to reflash the kernel too? The kernels work really good without oc but just wanted to tinker...boy I tell ya, I'm really liking android over windows that's for sure

Yes sir that is correct....i went ahead and wiped my data after i couldnt get it boot. So i guess i got to start over now.. I downloaded your pegasus rom, but not to sure how to install rom yet but am working on figuring that out. Do you have instructions to install your rom?
All the other stuff , unlocking bootloader, perm root, and s-off was pretty simple...

You just flash my ROM in recovery. I'd advise selecting stockish kernel when asked as the installer can be picky about what recovery you use for kozmikkernel.

[Q] Soft bricked X8

Hi guys. Today I tried upgrading GingerDX from v030 to v031b but I mistakenly downloaded (and flashed) Alfs/nAa instead of Stock kernel.
Now the phone screen won't pass the Sony Ericsson boot scree... I can't find the key combinations to enter into CWM recovery menu. Is there any other way I can flash the proper ROM using Flashtool? I found this guide but I don't want to go back to the stock kernel (if possible).
Thank you!

You mean to. Say stock rom??
You are already on stock kernel...
& no other option you must follow that guide if you can't unlock bootloader!
see boot animation without rebooting

Right, I already have the stock kernel, but I flashed Alfs/nAa ROM instead of the Stock one (from the download options) and now the phone won't pass the bootloader... Will try that guide since I can't enter CWM recovery using the key combinations I found

Well, when I softbricked my X8, I never used my PC to unbrick it. I will just go into the recovery and flash a working rom. Problem solved..
But I can't figure out why he is sayig he can't go into the recovery. The button patterns remains the same no matter what rom you are on or what kernel you use. But I can be wrong.
Anyway did you do all these steps:
# Wipe Full System
# Wipe Cache, Dalvik-Cache
These steps are very important. But we often forget them.

We dont see the sony ericsson logo on custom kernels..
it is seen only on stock kernel.
so there is a high possibility that op downloaded the wrong rom..

if you use rom for stock kernel you can see the GDX logo...that is part of boot animation. alfs shows WLAN version not GDX. the Sony Ericsson logo is of stock kernel. so if you flash a rom for custom kernel you will still see that logo
it is possible (as dagger said) that OP downloaded rom for custom kernel.

[Q] Flash only custom kernel

I have an Incredible S. I have flashed the official rom 4.0.4 with kernel version 3.0.16 g2271fd09. I was able to go over 1Ghz. Even though i think that 1Ghz CPU is more than enough on Android 4.0.4, it is very laggy and the situation is terrible. I need to go over 1Ghz like I did on other custom roms. I do not want to install a custom ROM because I do not know what they contain and I dont trust them. I just need to flash a custom kernel, and boot up the phone with the ability to go over 1Ghz (overclock). Any custom kernels (not ROMS) that you have tried and work with Android 4.0.4 ??
