[Q] flashing kernel - General Questions and Answers

Dear Sir
I am new to this forum.I have rooted my SGSII & install ICS 4.0.4.Then i installed aokp jelly bean, slimTW 5 jelly bean & now i am using slim thunderTW5.while installing slim thunderTW5, as per instruction i first flash slim thunderTW5 rom, then google application & siyah kernel.
Now it is working fine with no issue.
My question is if i want to try other rom (eg. cm rom or again aokp or slim TW5 jelly bean or any rom), do i have to simply follow flashing instruction as provided or flash new kernel.
Can i flash any rom with this kernel ?([email protected]#49)
Earlier in ics 4.0.4, aokp jelly bean, slimTW5 jelly bean i did not require to flash any new kernel.
Sorry for bad english
Thank you in advance.

Most new rooms come with a kernel ready for flashing. I have personally used siyah for most of the rooms I have ever tried with my SII as I rally like the speed features and battery life and regardless of the from you are using you can flash any kerenl as long as it matches the O.S. i.e. JB or ICS etc

You can always try any ROM by itself and see if it boots & how you like it. Then you can go back to recovery & flash your kernel afterwards. As long as you have a nandroid backup, try flashing stuff & see how it works. If you can't get it working again, just restore your nandroid.

flashin kernel
got it
ya nandroid backup is good idea before flashing any new rom

I want to upgrade from GB to JB slim bean, best path?

I am having to ordin with pit, to unbrick my infuse again. I'll be starting from stock GB rooted with gingerbread boot loader. What ICS Rom do I need to flash to keep my imei and provide a stable stepping stone to flash slim bean 2.6, or 2.7 so I won't lose my imei and have to go backwards again?
Thanks mike

You should be able to use any of the ICS ROMs. Use CM9, then follow the OP instructions for Slim Bean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874000
Instructions at Slim Bean state:
Upgrading Slim Bean
Just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash files in order (Device file first, then Slim Gapps) unless I specify in the changelog
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
I remember mg saying that a small % of people lost imei regardless of following instructions exactly or not. Also someone said somewhere that flashing cm10 restored there imei.
of course I've also been jacked up on pain medication this week so I could be wrong. But I'm 95% sure I didn't hallucinate those statements.

[Q] Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 rom

Hi Guys
Forgive my ignorance whats the difference from EOS3 roms to EOS4 roms
I have just flash my xoom to eos jz054k nightly 155, but would like the very latest stable 4.2.xx the one
that supports panoramic camera, and would to take advantage of using it on forthcoming holidays
looking in EOS4 roms there is lots of nightlys to choose from, would they flash over my EOS3 155 nightly
using TWRP recovery ??
You would have to install a 4.2 ROM on a CLEAN system. Meaning, you need to do a CWM Factory Data Reset prior to flashing the 4.2 ROM along with the correct Gapps.

Unfortunately, you will have to search the threads for that answer. I've switched back to 4.1.2 a long time ago, as I don't particularly care for the JB 4.2.x OS. Sorry.

Cannot flash new kernels!

I am running cyanogenmod10.1 on my galaxy s2. It is a wild for the night (nightly unofficial ROM) with 4.2.2 jelly bean build. I love the new ROM but can't believe the stock cyanogenmod kernel can't be over clocked. Anyways I've been looking at kernels that support 4.2.2 and tried to flash lean kernel(and a couple others) in recovery mode. It does a couple things in recovery then says install complete but when I reboot I still have stock cm10.1 kernel! Can somebody please help and I am also open to suggestions for kernels because I want one that runs like the one I have but can be OC'd. THANK YOU!

Are you wiping cache and dalvik cache? There's really no reason to overclock it dude. I owned an s2 and saw no reason to overclock it ran just fine without hiccups

Yea I wiped both but I wanted to have it to maybe save battery at times(like the lean kernel
) where i can OC at other times. But im starting to think they were bad kernel downloads because i flashed dream kernel and it worked. The site said it supports both JB and ICS but an ICS screen came up in recovery and would not allow reboot or restore to CM10 so I restored to origional s2 rom(running ICS) then reflashed rom and Gapps then restored to CM10 backup so at least I got to where I started XD but thanks

[Q] Recomended stable/for daily use rom?

Hi, I'm new to this device as a friend gave it to me. I've read a lot about flashing, stock and custom roms but I can't see a stable custom rom. As far as I've understood ICS and up roms are still not stable enough, so I may go for a GB rom but don't know what.
BTW if I go to a stock rom is there a way to maintain CWM or would I have to flash it again after flashing stock?
Best & stable Gingerbread rom:

Follow the instructions carefully.
Good luck!

You read a lot and you can't see a stable custom ics/jb ROM??? My advice: Stay at GB... Stock rom is the best for you.

Probably this is a best solution for this moment I'm using this rom. Easy to install and easy to use. I'ts smooth quick and solid on my SG I9003 SCL
Thanks for your recommendations but any of that roms have worked 'cause I'm having this problem. I've installed Bam's Custom Kernel and 4ext convertor script and I'm able to get /data working, so then I flash any of that custom roms but I'm stuck again on bootloops.
this one also very good

GB ROM: The Frankenstein Mod is very good(no bugs and a lot of bloatware removed). I used it for many months and then switched to Alpha 5.
Jelly Bean: Dhiru's Alpha 5
The best of all roms for the SL cleaner faster and 4.2.2!!

Try the new 4.2.2 ROM from master Dirhu with Kernel 3.0
It has some few bugs at the moment but it is working very very smoothly (better than a sock one). My phone is like a new one with this ROM.
It comes with Cyanogenmod 10.1
