[Q] I need help on flashing kernel - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, So i have a Sprint HTC One (M7) I wanted to get Sense 6 using the InsertCoin ROM. So first i had to unlock the boot loader once i did that i needed to root it. I accidently installed Clockwordmod as my custom recover, i installed TWRP recovery instead, i forgot to make a backup.(Stupid me, I know. -_-) But it was working then, i was able use the device, i flashed this zip that would turn SU off so i could flash the rom i wanted. Now my phone wont even let me use it. It turns on, displays the HTC logo and goes straight to fastboot. Does anyone have any ideal to fix it? Please i have no clue. ^~^ I think its the kernel, but i don't know. I'm new to this. .-.

if you still have recovery installed, try to flash another roms, if it's still not help you, go the m7 thread, then find out how to go back to stock rom

sorry. i don't know that, then last step is back to stock rom, find the toturial on your device thread

You should be able to get to recovery. If so, then you can push files to the phone via adb.

How to boot into recovery?!

Okay so I installed a gingerbread ROM that keeps getting stuck at the boot screen. Yes, I installed the radio first and took all the correct steps.
But now I'm trying to simply boot into recovery to flash my backup of my other gingerbread ROM that actually worked. I boot into bootloader and it automatically tries updating the radio and there is no possible way to boot into recovery.
I don't know what to do.
When it asks you to install update, what if you say no, then you should be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader.
Sucks you're having issues.

Can't we do this in adb?
"adb reboot recovery"

Like g00s3y said, you must first remove the file you were trying (or successfully) flashed off your sd card. It's always best to remove this file once youre done with it. In your case you will probably need to use a sd card reader unless you can get your phone to mount.

I got the exact same problem
I ran into the same problem last night. I hooked my phone up to my laptop which has adb installed. When you're stuck at the start up screen, in a command prompt just type:
adb devices
You should see your phone show up under devices. If it shows up, then just type:
adb reboot recovery
This will get you into your recovery, and I just started the whole process over again. The 2nd time through everything worked great.
Hope this helps. (my phone wouldn't hard boot in to recovery, which I'm assuming is your problems also)
To hard boot into recovery, just hold the volume up key and turn the phone on. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Now I went and did it!
OK, so I was loading a new ROM and something went terribly wrong. I got stuck on the HTC, quietly brilliant screen. I then tried to boot into recovery thinking I would just restore the back up I had made and for some reason it jumped right to the HBoot and ran through some sequence of commands. Next thing I know I don't have root! So I'm screwing around trying to get adb to work on my computer and having problems with that. I try to recover again on the phone (power button and down volume) and notice that I still have s-off. Doesn't that mean I have root? But I also can't find a super user on the phone and none of my 'rooted' only programs work, they all say I don't have root. What do I do now?
Hboot is vol down and power.. not recovery. What that did was look for an update file on your SD card and flashed it. When you rooted your phone did you use the 1 click root? If so you probably just need to do step 3 again.. which gives you root and the super user app.. hopefully that's all it takes. When your done go into your SD card and remove the PG05 (there's more to the name don't have the whole file name memorized) zip file that's on there so it doesn't happen again

You will have to re-root now. This should teach you to be more careful and not just go randomly flashing and updating things. Read up some more before just trying things.
Yeah probably like he said your best bet is to re do the whole process.. Idk what you flashed on your phone or anything so just be careful and do your research before jumping into things.

When flashing a new rom make sure you check the md5sum. You can do this in adb or dl a program, just google it. If the md5sum comes back with the correct number then you know the dl isn't corrupted and you have the correct dl.
But as far as your current problem, you need to re-root.
Research your steps before you do them. I'm NOT a fan of 1-click. If you do it manually, and one step seems not to go right, then stop and ask on the forums. Someone should respond.

[Q] Wont Boot or Go into recovery PLEASE HELP

Hey guys, I hope you can help, I have a motorola atrix (At&t), and this is what happened:
My phone is rooted, and i was running Alien rom, but things went wrong when I installed Grey Blur.

Why don't u flash recovery through adb, so the recovery will work and then you can install a Rom next...
You think you can walk me though it, im still a noob at this

You certainly can enter the boot loader ryt?
I actually own HTC incredible s so can't say much about it, nut then android OS works around the same way with bootloaders and recoveries, so hope I can get u some head start....
What exactly happens when you turn on the phone?
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!
Can you get into "Fastboot" mode? Wait.. are you just rooted or rooted and unlocked? If you are unlocked or even not unlocked and can get into RSD Mode, you could flash the Pudding 2.3.4 sbf. Or you could go to the "Fruit Cakes" thread, download the zip file extract the boot.img and system.img and flash them via fastboot...
The issue has been resolved...
It seemed that he could flash roms with sense 2.0 or 2.1 without any problems, but then he couldn't flash the 4ext recovery, as it did not seem to work, all it would do is give a blank screen, wherein the recovery would run but the text wasn't visible at all...
He first formatted his SD card...
Flashed 4extrecovery 2.1.0 final version. And it worked...
Next he flash VU 2.35 ROM. And power off the device after the flash from the recovery itself.
Went back into recovery again (keep in mind he hasn't started his phone, it actually ends up in boot loops) and flashed the unity v3 kernel.
Power off Tue device again and power on... Voila!!! It worked....
Some cpu's tend to be a little diff. than others. So some can bare the alterations made to their frequencies and voltage while others can't. Hope it goes well with all the IncS users....
EDIT: sorry posted this on the wrong thread... This is how another incredible s user had a problem like, so solved his one....

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.

AT&T Htc One X - Bricked and need advice

One of my friends BRICK his phone and he has no idea how. He has a rooted HTC ONE X on AT&T network with Viper XL (Not even sure what version of the ROM) probably from last december.
It is now stuck on the Booting animation screen and won't get passed that. I am able to access TWRP recovery, but there is not zip files or backups any longer. When I originally flashed this phone for him I had a zip file on the root of the internal SD CARD. It no longer is there and i have not rooted/flashed a phone for almost a year and can't remember.
I tried to fastboot oem lock and it fails (was thinking i could some how get it to boot and install stock jelly bean)
I am able to mount the SD card via TWRP and throw a rom in there via zip, but when i unmount i and go to restore or install i do not see any zip. When I mount again the file i put in the phone no longer exists.
Is there a work around or another way to flash any custom room. I was thinking of CM10 nightly evita... I don't care what rom as long as i can get the phone working again for him.
Is there a way to flash a rom the way we flash boot.img via fastboot where the files can reside on the PC and not the phone? Any assistance/tips would be great. Again i don't care which rom I flash and i have TWRP recovery access. Currently i have CM10 downloaded if hat helps. Thank you in advanced.

OK i found it sorry about that guys.
Glad you found the correct forum eventually. However, if you con boot into recovery, I'd suggest using adb to push a rom to the phone and flash that. I've always had Samsung phones, and this is my first HTC, but I would imagine the same theory applies to all vendors. If your phone can boot into recovery, and you have the right drivers installed, you can push a file to the phone and flash that.

Yeah but I would need a ROM that allows to be installed via FASTBOOT Opposed to zip file thrown in the sd card. Do you know of any Jelly bean rom? I haven't been on these forums for a while and have no idea what i can use. If you do please let me know if not thanks anyways and for your recommendation much appreciated.

Ah, was doing to many things at once, just re-read and saw your dilemma. I don't know of such a rom, but I'm still learning the ropes for HTC so I can't make a recommendation. Best of luck to ya!

[Q] Will there be any custom Rom for Alcatel One Touch Fierce?

Will there be any custom Rom for Alcatel One Touch Fierce? Just curious...planning to buy that
How did you get recovery for the phone??? I've been looking everywhere for one!!
Sent from my rooted ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fierce running stock Kernel and ROM. Android version 2.2.2.
Step 1: Turn off your Android phone, and boot it into bootloader or fastboot mode.
Step 2: when in bootloader or fastboot mode, scrolling down to "Recovery" option using volume keys, trackball or optical sensor. Done. Your device will enter Clockwork recovery mode then.
help?
Im actually wondering that myself. i want to install a custom rom, i recently bought the phone and i dont like the default one
pretty sure he's referring to the stock recovery. I am working on hijacking the init and booting to a 2nd init recovery. Keep holding out guys, we'll be running all kinds of sweetness on this phone soon enough.
edit - Aaaand, there's my third "brick"
fixed my brick
Even tho it says not to remove the battery i did. I had no other choice, i tried just about everything. only way i was able to get a sign of life from the phone was by plugging it into a usb. then the led at the top left of the screen would turn on and nothing more. i bricked mine by using motochopper somehow, first it would say the root failed then i tried changing some things and eventually i got a device not found error. i gave up on that method of rooting but the phone was still working. then i found framaroot. i think i used the first exploit and it bricked. i took out the battery VERY carefully, waited 10 seconds(cant be too safe), reinserted the battery, and it rebooted and was rooted. now im just worried it might have not fully rooted. going to do some tinkering and if it bricks ill let you all know.
goodluck
Yeah the battery is super easy to take out without it looking like you messed with it. I have used both bohomir and faramir with no problems. If you're worried about partial root; do a full unroot with superSu, reboot, unroot with framaroot using the original exploit you chose, reboot then reroot.
