not having a custom voodoo kernel to make CWM 'stick' in the system is what causes overwrites after flashing

Can you give me an example of what that could be to cause this rom set up etc

I know that Infinity rom doesn't come with a kernel so recovery will be overwritten after the phone boots up the first time.. also I think some roms come with kernels (Gummy and Humble) but CWM isn't bundled in for whatever reason so you may need to flash it again afterwards
flashing CWM over and over will not harm the phone but honestly other than not having a custom kernel I have no idea why it would go to stock recovery every time and it hasn't ever happened to me

If I understand correctly its strictly a kernal issue I would flash gummy 2.0 then wipe cache and dalvic cache then flash kernel and then reboot

[Q] CM7 boot problem!

I flashed nightly 58 on my g2x and now the cyanogen skateboarder keeps coming on the screen, loading for a few seconds and then the screen shuts off and the process repeats, help?
First try reflashing. Second, did you wipe and then flash?
Tried, and did wipe before. Problem persisting.
Did you come from a custom kernel? I was having boot loop issues until I flashed a nan of an old backup I that had an ext3 compatible kernel... then 58 went on like a glove(not OJ's glove... leather shrinks if gets moist! Geez way to miss that one chris darden)...

Ext4 cwm

My droid charge sits in the blue recovery and I cannot get it back to ext4 cwm or flash anything regardless. I recently had ext4 and I think I somehow tried to flash an rts rom.
I read somewhere its as easy as pie to fix if you flash a red cwm recovery but I don't have one. Any clues. Btw I can't boot into any rom

Have you tried using ODIN and flashing the latest Gingerbread?

Run Odin and pull your Battery. Hold down the Vol Down button then flash GB with ODIN follow the directions to a T. They are posted on the post for the leak.
I'll try this.

sounds like it's connecting fine.. and you described it right, flash the stock rom in Odin first and boot up to make sure it works or do some minor set-up, then flash the latest 8/17 CWM in Odin and immediately boot into it after, make the backup then flash whatever rom/kernel you want (Gummy 2.0 has one included and will enable voodoo lagfix on first boot)
not that hard once you do it once or twice and kinda learn how it all works and whatnot
do you. mind shooting me a download. link. of stock rom and cwm what about kernals do I need to. flash a kernal or is. that included in stock. rom as well as gummy charged

and no the stock rom does not include a custom voodoo kernel but the Gummy 2.0 package does so it will install the kernel and rom and enable voodoo lagfix on first boot (the Gummy rom package includes version 2.2.5 of that kernel I linked so it's a bit old, you can update it if you want by flashing the new one in CWM afterwards)

you don't really need to format the sd card as everything android related (not phone #'s or pictures or anything *you* put on there) will be wiped when you do the wipes in CWM

no no no stock rom in PDA first, boot up after the flash, power down and connect to Odin again and put CWM in PDA (everything goes in PDA) and flash then unplug phone after it passes and immediately boot into CWM no regular boot up.. then wipe data, dalvik (under advanced) and cache then flash Gummy or rom of your choice (custom rom build must match stock build like stock EP1W with EP1W Gummy 2.0), select reboot phone option and let the kernel activate voodoo lagfix when it boots up (may take a while)... once it starts you'll have a rooted voodoo custom rom, then you can hold the power button down until the reboot options menu comes up and select recovery to proceed to flash the updated kernel if you want
also the modems will be the ones installed with the stock rom, but you can flash new ones in Odin in the PDA section if you want

probably because the rom didn't include a custom kernel or for whatever reason it didn't make it work.. flash or reflash a custom kernel and there won't be any more problems

Yes, there was a thread about this already. Same problem. I was on Valhalla black, tried a full restore, and for some reason everything stopped working. Couldn't get into restore or download mode without a jig or computer.
You can restore data only, or try to minimize your mistakes.

Looking to flash a new kernel.

I rooted my phone with the quick root tool from noxious Nina. I want to flash a new kernel so overclocking is capable. can I just install and run the vzw ez unlock from the play store or do I have to completely flash a new Rom and all on my phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
The EZ unlock tool works great!!! Just make sure you flash the correct kernel.... AOSP kernel for AOSP base ROMs and a stock/touchwiz kernel for stock/touchwiz ROMs. Most of the ROMs floating around have a kernel built in specific to that ROM. Happy flashing and make a nandroid before anything!!!!

I have everything backed up with TB. do you know of a good stable stock Rom kernel that can be overclocked.
Synergy is stable and good. I have been running that since the beginning. I am gonna jump to ParanoidAndroid this weekend since most of the bugs have been worked out. You can search around for the most compatible OC apps and methods. I normally leave things be unless I need to change them.

Ok soooooooooooo I have another question. I'm looking at flashing clean kernel. I want to use vzw ez recovery. Has any one done just a kernel with this app and how did you do it. Just select your image and click flash or reboot recovery. I have done research on this but I have yet to find a solid answer on how to do it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I normally just reboot to CWM and flash away.... I don't use EZ for anything other than choosing recovery and unlocking the bootloader. If you're not on a custom ROM you can use EZ to boot into recovery after flashing the recovery of your choice.

So if I use ez and flash into COM 6.0 then I can go into download mode with vol up home and power then just boot to any Rom that way?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if it still applies but you aren't supposed to flash kernels with ez recovery.. I did that once and got stuck in a boot loop. That should be used for recoveries only. Use that to flash cwm and go to where you downloaded your kernel..most likely your download folder and flash it. But as stated before make sure your kernel applies to your ROMs tw=tw aosp = aosp no crossing. I personally still use cwm 6 although that was a recovery for kexec methods..it can still be used...for flashing ROMs make sure you know if you have to wipe data and cache as well. You can get into some nasty boot loops and bricks if you don't. I personally do a nandroid and then wipe everhthing then flash a new ROM...just a force of habit. I hope this helps..hit the thanks button if this helps you at all.

Also to add to your question..you flash ROMs from cwm recovery. Download mode is used for Odin to flash stock ROMs and stock rooted ROMs. To boot into cwm from an off state its power volume up and home at the same time. From there back up using the backup option and once that is complete wipe data/wipe cache then go to install zip from SD card or ext SD card wherever you downloaded the new rom and flash that and don't panic if your phone doesn't boot up right away (hanging at the boot animation screen) the first boot always takes the longest.
