[KERNEL] ClockworkMod Kernel

I take no credit for this one. @Koush released a zImage for a kernel on the @clockworkmod account. Flash this then install Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager.
Don't know any more details than that. Thats all he tweeted. Don't know about switching kernels back afterwards or anything, but hey give it a shot. I just know flashing a zImage on the Epic isn't half as easy as on the Nexus or Evo and most people can't handle it, so I made this zip to flash via recovery.
Insert typical liability disclaimer here. I'm not responsible. Yada yada.
I can't fix bugs with this one. Not my code. Talk to @koush. I haven't even flashed this yet. I'll be doing so in the morning. Let me know how it works

Cool..I'll give it a try..flashing it now

Do anyone know the new key mapping for the this clockwork? I was just getting use to the other way.

Yay.. Flashed and installed..
No overclocking, but the Kernal is Dumb Fast.. I wonder.. What happens? Do we keep it.. Change it.. Asking Him now..
Quickboot is still out the question on a recovery reboot. The key combo is still needed..

Yes, but since it is only the kernal.. Just rename it to Update.zip and let her do her thing.. I believe that should work as well.. As it is signed and it is a zImage.

Yeah it does but how do you boot out of it?
I selected "reboot" and pressed the home capacitive buttonand had to do a battery pull.
Put the battery back in and it loaded into stock recovery. Selected reboot phone again and this time it rebooted the phone correct way...and i still had root and clockwork.

anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you

You need to match the right kernel for the ROM your using, you can download and put it on your SD card boot into bootloader should be good to go. Worst case reflash ROM.

Go into bootloader (power off, then back on while holding volume down) Go into recovery, choose install from zip, then find the ROM on your SD card and flash.

I think he was asking if you made a Nandroid back ( a complete backup of you ROM) If not you need to place a ROM on your SD card and flash it via recovery (see my earlier post)

Dont hook it to the pc. When the phone is off (hold volume down then hold the power button) it will boot into bootloader, volume down to recovery, hit power to select.

BIG problem

i was hacking my inspire with Ace hack kit, and it somehow froze and wouldnt continue so i unplugged it and it seems like it got bricked or something idk ? like i turned it off took the battery out and back in and when it looks like its loading the screeen fades into a black screen .......... i tryed recovering, reseting and nothing. can any one please help me ? thanks

Grab a rooted STOCK ROM online and rename it to the PG98IMG.zip.
Reboot into bootloader and update the phone with that file.
You're phone should be back to normal. Happened to me once and that's what I had to do!
ps I attached the stock rooted gingerbread. Should do the trick bro

nooooooo. i really think my phone is F***ed up because when i turn it on it goes to a black screen, and doesnt load up

Can you get into hboot/bootloader? If so, you can recover it, following ladiesgod instructions. Youll just need to get the PG98 file onto your sd somehow....using a card reader plugged to pc or laptop or friends phone.

i did what you told me, im in bootloader but how do i load the ROM and install it?

I couldn't attach the file but google for "Stock GingerBread Rooted PD98IMG.zp". Download it. Rename it to "PD98IMG.zip" then place it on the root of your SD card. Go into HBoot. Your phone will scan your sd card then ask if you want to update it. Say yes!
Voila!

would you mind giving me a link for it? all it does is send me to some post here on XDA thanks, n btw i randomly tryed with a Custom ROm, it didnt work is it because of that?

Make sure it is named properly. Very important. I Dont know what the inspire is, ice seen both PG98 and PD98 typed here. I dunno cuz i have an evo. But as long as the file is named properly, hboot will detect it
Good luck
Edit: and MUST be on root of sd card, not in any folder.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yeah, i Dont believe a custom rom will work because of something in the meta-inf folder, or having to do with updater script/binary. Will need a rooted stock ROM, renamed exactly right.

Man, I've been thru several pages of inspire forum, and can't find a stock rooted rom. In the evo forums, there's always several posted when there is official updated. Dont have time to keep looking for ya, gotta get daughter from school bus. Sorry. Good luck

Trust me it is. There is a link in the first post that says in pd98img format. Which is what you need at this point.
My suggestion is to reformat the SD card fat32. Full format not quick.
Download the pd98 I linked and place on SD card(not in a folder)
Boot into hboot and install it

I think I know what message you're talking about. What you have to do is format your SD card.
I've gotten the same message before about a 'bad' image. Formatting my sd card and puttin the ROM on a clean card worked. Good luck!

Evo Shift root

I just have a quick question thats holding me back from rooting my shift. IF i do it will it erase my flash that i have for cricket?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

I believe if your flashed to Cricket your already rooted. Easy way to check, is to power down the phone. Hold Down the Volume Button, then press the Power Button. You should boot into a white screen. At the Top it will either say S-On ( NOT Rooted ), or S-Off ( Rooted ) .

it says speedy xe ship s-on

If it says S-On then your Not Rooted. From the reading I've been doing, it leads me to believe that rooting it should not affect that your flashed to a different carrier. But I would still do more research on the subject before jumping in.

You put the zip anywhere on your SD card. Don't unzip it. Then you flash the zip through recovery. Partitioning your card is not a must unless you plan to download a lot of apps and are low on internal memory

Okay so this time I used shift rootility and got a bootloop, which was a good sign. But when I got to the last step where you boot into the bootloader, the pg06img.zip didn't load. Just said check...[pg06img.zip] and then went back to hboot. I really am stuck
Sent from my PG06100 using xda app-developers app

I don't know if this is the problem or not but I have an sd card that reads so slowly that when I try to change recoveries the bootloader won't pick up the pg06img.zip file. All I have to do when that happens is use a better quality sd card and then it's fine. Hopefully it's as easy as that.

First thing is to make sure the file is named correctly. It should be " PG06IMG.zip " . The other thing is to make sure that your SD Card formatted to FAT32 .

Yeah did so today, and bought a new sdcard, same thing.. but this time it didnt bootloop. Tried 5 times, everything is named correctly and all. I think ima just sell it on ebay because i think its unrootable and its hell of makin me mad. Ive tried all the guides and everything, repeatedly. But i have one question, did it have to run android 2.2 in the past cause my phone was made after the 2.3.4 update?, it says VTO 09/10/12

In order to use the Root Exploit, you must be on 2.2 . I wouldn't give up just yet. I've had Shifts in the past that were difficult to Root. Once done it is worth it. Plus you can then run pretty much whatever you want. There are a lot of Roms for it .

I realize this is an ancient subject & thread, but we have just gotten a very nice EVO Shift that works perfectly.
It was never rooted though and was upgraded.
I have managed to find most of the tools to downgrade & root it, but not the ShiftRR tool.
The site it was originally on is now a fake site that tries to install malware on visitors' PCs.
Does anyone here still have this tool to share privately so that I can proceed ??
Thanks.
