How Can I Switch/Update my Kernel/CWM/ROM?

With the recent update of CWM/PBJ kernel I'd like to update to the latest ones and I'd also like to switch ROMs to test some other ones out. Can someone guide me through this? I've never switched before I just followed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657), that's it(as far as flashing and such goes). I'd just like an easy to follow guide on updating the Kernel/CWM and installing a new ROM(If and when I'd need to disable Voodoo, if flashing something will reset all my contacts/apps, etc) I'd really appreciate it and thanks will be in order for anyone and everyone who is helpful :]
Info: I'm running 6/15 PBJ OC kernel with 1.8.5 Gummycharged ROM

There's not much to it. kernel and Rom can be updated in CWM.
Download the rom you want to flash to /sdcard (root of your sdcard)
reboot into recovery. If you do not have the option holding down the power button and hitting restart. Dl a terminal emulator and type:
Code:
$su (to gain root)
#reboot recovery
Wipe Cache and factory data reset
Go to advanced: Wipe Dalvik cache and battery settings
scroll to flash with a zip
choose: select zip from sdcard
choose the zip that you downloaded
once the install is complete reboot phone. let rom install
Follow same thing for Kernel. Just make sure you remember what the name of your kernel is.

That works a treat thank you.

Easier way to get into CWM: hold down Power+Volume Up+Home until you see SAMSUNG, let go, and you'll boot straight into recovery. No need to mess around with terminal commands.
Also, when flashing a kernel only (not a ROM), there's no need to wipe data.

after doing your nandroid backup,
DO A FULL WIPE:
1) wipe DATA
2) wipe CACHE
3) wipe DALVIK CACHE (in advanced menu)
4) do this at least TWICE, just to be on the safe side.
after wiping:
flash ROM.ZIP first, then REBOOT
after reboot and setting up, reboot the phone again into clockworkmod recovery and WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE.
then flash kernel.zip.
reboot and enjoy. oh, and also hit the thanks button

So when should we be mounting system. Is it not necessary?

after your full wipe, then you do install from zip, that should do everything needed to install/mount/whatever magic goes into installing that ROM on your phone
i've never consciously done anything to my memory of manually mounting anything. Just wipe -> rom install

EOS4 won't install on my tf101

Hi there,
A few weeks ago I rooted my tf101 and installed clockworkmod 5. Installing the rom from Raymanfx isn't a problem, but it doesn't run very smoothly. So I wanted to try the ROM of EOS4. Installed both nightly's .93 and .92, but both don't work. I've wiped the cache, but it still stays stuck in bootscreen. I'm wondering, how can I find out the problem and how can I solve it?
Thx in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Anderverhaal

Any time you flash a different ROM (from a different DEV), for best results you should wipe:
Cache
Davlik Cache
System (ROM)
Factory Reset (will not wipe the /data/media/ aka /sdcard/ directory, just the apps installed in the /data/ directory).
Failing to do a factory reset, there may be some system settings from your previous ROM that are still lingering and causing issues with the TeamEOS 4.
Also, I would HIGHLY recommend using TWRP 2.3.2.3 for EOS 4. The new multi-user file structure does not work well with CWM 5.X.
If you want to update, you can boot to CWM, connect to your tablet via ADB, push the latest TWRP blob and use the ADB shell command to dd it to the recovery partition.
Otherwise, install a ROM that boots, then install GooManager and then choose the Install OpenRecovery Script.

[Q] Tf 101 can't change ROM or install Clock work Recovery

Hello
I am new to this forum, I could not find any answers, so I desided to register and ask.(I am a noob in this stuff)
I have a Transformer tf101 which I have roted with Revolver some time ago (I think it was Revolver, how to check that?). My goal now is to overclock the tab.
I have been trying to follow some instructions begining with installing Clock work mod recovery, but when I start the tab with volume.down+power and than push Vol.up I get a picture of android guy with open stomach and warning triangle.
Am doing something very wrong? Where should I begin istead?
Will be very thankfull for anwers

You don't have a custom recovery installed, and don't use CWM
Use TWRP recovery
Install Goo Manager from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
Open Goo Manager, tap the top right menu dots, choose "Install OpenRecovery script"
That should install TWRP for you, then you can do your vol down and power to enter recovery

Thanks, that worked!
So I backed up my System, Boot, Recovery and Cache now.(Do not need Data)
What do I do now? Should I install some custom Kernel now? I wish to go to 1,5 Ghz, which one is the most popular out there?

No need to backup Cache, Cache and Dalvik cache are basically just temp folders
Now you should find a decent jellybean ROM and Kernel and Gapps (Google Apps)
Obviously I suggest the latest Team EOS4 Jellybean Nightly #116
Kat Kernel #103 too for lots of nice tweaks and OCing ability
And grab the latest Gapps from the 1st post in EOS4 thread (See my sig for links)
1. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
2. Wipe System (and Data if you're coming from and old ROM)
3. Flash ROM
4. See 1.
5. Flash Kernel
6. See 1.
7. Flash Gapps
8. See 1.
9 Reboot and enjoy Jellybean 4.2.2

So after wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache and System, I inserted SD card With "EOS4 Jellybean Nightly #116", went into install menu in TWRP and flashed it. TWRP gave suggestion to clear Cache/Dalvik Cache and I pressed that button too. I am not sure now which kernel to download because there is "KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip" and "KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch_CM10.1.zip" for JB 4.2.2. Which should I take?

KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip
You're running EOS4 not CM10.1
And you'll need these Gapps
http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/gapps/gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip

Thanks for help! Now my CPU benchmark at 1,5ghz is integer=1953; floatpoint=1703 vs 1ghz where integer=1280 floatpoint=1129. Tested with Antutu. It actually allows me to go up to 1,7ghz, but I bet it is not safe.

No problem, I haven't heard of many running at 1.7, I leave mine at 1.4, seems a good mix of performance and battery life
If you goto Settings > EOS Control Centre > Navigation > UI Mode
You can change the UI back to Tablet Bar and get 100% smooth homescreens again too

I tested 1.7ghz but it restarted immediately. I missed the UI mode:good:

Did I make a mistake while installing lineageOS 15.1 + MindTheGapps 8.1.0?

It's an ASUS Nexus 7 2012.
I installed 'lineage-15.1-20200706-UNOFFICIAL-grouper' and 'MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm-20180808-grouper' (is this the right file?) successively before rebooting while first wiping Dalvik/ART Cache, System, and Data.
It boots, but Gapps don't work. I managed to enter playstore but only once before it froze and since then, I can't enter it no more.
Here, they tell you to change filesystem from EXT4 to F2FS first and also to sideload the OS and Gapps instead of placing the zips in the root folder and installing from device. Does that make a difference?

see nothing is wrong or right it is just about compatibility use default instruction as much as possible
well regarding gapps flash it after setting up phone

Just make sure all the tools you've downloaded are compatible for your device.
