[Q] Possible if only build kernel? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I change my phone to MS2 last week and I want a CM7 port.
Since there's nobody doing so, I decided to do it myself.
Well, I'm still learning about all these things. Because of the locking bootloader, it seems I have to port the CM7 by update.zip.
So what can be done by the update.zip? Only system zone can be flash, isn't it? And if I only build a kernel of CM7, is it possible my phone working?
Sorry for my bad English...I just want some help and guide...

No replies even in the xda forum ?!

[Q] Do I need to mess with my kernal?

You can tell this is a noob question. I will get my Gtab on Monday so I am doing my homework now. I plan on going with the Vegan rom. My question is what determines if you change to another kernal? Is it like the ROm you choose the kernal that gives you attributes you want? I think I can install the new ROM easily with all the great tutorials here but the kernal change has me worried. I have looked at several threads on how to install and it seems way over my head. If someone could please give me a quick and dirty on kernal stuff I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

download the kernel and then flash it like a rom. Its the adding of modules where you need to read. You may not need any of them so it would completely painless
Tks for the response thebadfrog. I guess I will continue to look for things to read up on it.

Is there and clean 1.5 rom and 2.6.27 kernel(links,info, anything ill read it)? Is there anything else i need to do before i give phone back?
Ty for any help
I think that you should give the detail information about your phone, such as the location (purchase or your network provider,..).
The original ROM always go with the kernel.

Hello and welcome to XDA...
First, I recommend reading the stickies posted in the forum and learning as much as you can about the inner-workings of the community... from there, things get easier.
Points of advice...
- Flashing Roms and Kernels can be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be... meaning, if you search the forum well and learn what you're doing, it becomes as simple as ever...
- Never flash anything without making a nandroid backup first... if you don't know what that means, use the search function for XDA and lookup "nandroid"
Lastly,
Most people are going to recommend you flash yourself Cyanogenmod 7. The latest stable build is RC1 and can be found here and other "usual places".
Once you flash CM7 (a "rom") then you can flash a Kernel if you want... I'd be willing to put my neck out and say that faux has the most reliable and most popular Kernel out right now in conjunction with CM7...
The best thing you can do for yourself is read... take the time to read as much as you can and answer your own questions slowly over time... there is no reason to go flashing away until you fully understand what it is that you are doing.
Hope that gets you started in the right direction... good luck and have fun!

[q] radio help!!! :(

hey everyone,
i just updates my desire s with a new rom (not mentioning the name) and my phone is acting kinda crazy... as in the calls are not getting connected properly and half the time people complain they arent able to contact me either... the problem is im not much familiar about this stuff... bt, have a feeling it might be the problem with the radio. i tried restoring to older backups. no difference and realised that the radio doesnt get backed up.
i need help... does anyone know what to do about this...???
thank you in advance...

Relax.
And stop with the sad smileys...
The radio is not affected by a ROM flash, it is on a separate partition and you don't have to fiddle around with it if the problem has presented itself only after flashing a new ROM and was working alright previously.
Also, there is no disgrace in mentioning the ROM name, so please do tell us the following details:
Are you Revolutionary S-off or did you unlock using HTC Dev site?
What ROM are you currently using? Is this the first ROM you have flashed, coming from the stock one, or have you tried out other custom ROMs before this?
Let us know the answers to the above questions and we'll try our best to help.
Yeah, please tell us the name of the ROM, we'll be able to give you better help. Some AOSP ROMs (Oxygen, BlackICE) have calling issues. Also, as enimaamit said, a ROM does not change the Radio, it needs to be flashed separately (something i don't recommend you do). The problem is probably in the ROM

Yup. And thanks for that additional bit of info about Oxygen and BlackIce.
And another possibility is that this could be his first custom ROM (based on an official Sense ROM), and he might be coming from a stock ROM which he just unlocked using HTC Dev, so the kernel could still be stock... (if he didn't flash boot.img separately), and this might be allowing him to boot, but causing other issues like the one he just described.... I have an uncanny feeling that might be it!
I don't know, just letting loose the Sherlock inside
well, this wasnt my first custom rom... i have flashed from stock rom->cm nightly builds->oxygen->icecream sandwich 4.0 alpha builds to the current wp 7.0.4 rom by mmmcfc... i used to use his previous version-wp7.0.2 which was awesome and gave me no problems but, ever since i updated it, i have been having this problem. i tried flashing back to other roms as well and still kinda the same issue. and im on revolutionary s-off...
hope these answers are helpful... thanks for the reply guys...
EDIT: also, i used to have similar issues when i was in the stock rom at the very beginning which got solved later when i recieved an official update...i.e. before i s-off'd my phone...

He He He... guess i'm not much of a sleuth then!!
Are you sure the call drop issue is not a network provider problem {since it is happening on other ROMs as well, and it wasn't there before (your radio has been the same all along BTW)}
Have you tried putting your SIM in a basic phone and trying out whether the problem persists....this could indicate a network problem. I remember a few months ago Airtel service had gone to the dogs and everyone on Airtel (especially in Delhi) was writhing in agony...
Secondly, try using another carrier's SIM card in your DS and see if the problem still persists...
sry...i think u got me wrong der... i used to face the same problem on stock rom while i purchased the phone but, after updating it,it was pretty much and i never faced any problems until now. and i dont think its the carriers problem as im able to use the same sim card on a basic phone without any issues... and other users on the same carrier around me aint facing any problems with the network either... so, i guess im pretty much stuck and back to square one... :S

[Q] Cyanogen: No service!?

Hi, I'm rather new to all of this.
Website, and just about everything to do with flashing my phone and roms.
Onto the story!
I managed to figure a lot of things out for the most part because i was fooling around with this for most of the day. Including how to flash my phone back to the way it was before i even started all of this.
Any time i manage to get any form of Cyanogen Mod onto my cellphone, and yes. I've tried more than one. I can get them up and working... for the most part. My only problem is that my phone just can't seem to find any service!!
I'm using a Milestone A853 and i've installed CyanogenMod's 9 and 7. Neither of which seem to do any good for my service. x.x Any help would be appreciated.
You might wanna try reposting this in the development section thread of the phone you're using. Is CM officially available for your device?

Yeah, Both of them are. Although CM 9 in still in Alpha stages. I'll go ahead and make my way over to the development section and repost this. Hopefully somebody somewhere can help me with this ._.
It's not all bad because i can reflash my phone back into working order, but i'd really like to be able to use CM instead. >_<
