Kernel Panic

Over the last month or so, I have been getting random kernel panics. Doesn't seem to matter what ROM I am using.
What are my options for fixing this?
Thanks!

OK I'll bite.... What is " Kernel Panic "?

It is about the same thing as a Blue Screen of Death in Windows.
Something went terribly wrong for me to get a Kernel Panic
I just don't know how to see what caused it.

Flash a different kernel?

Had something like this happen before, unbrick to stock and start over, in my case it was hardware issues so I did a warranty replace.

I am thinking hardware as it has creeped into several ROMs

Kernel panic upload mode
I was flashing custom ROMS from couple of months and did dozens of times.
But when I was flashing resurrection ROM an updated version, it completed but when I rebooted it was stuck in the kernel panic upload mode after the boot screen(galaxy s2). It was not going to clockworkmod recovery too. Then using the odin I tried to flash the stock ROM as well as custom ones. But it will finish, will stuck in the boot screen. Then flashed recovery using Odin and tried to flash custom roms. Couple of ROMS worked but most of them failed and stuck in the boot screen. I could able to restore the stock version which I saved previously.
But I cant try most of the ROMs now. CM9 didnt work.. But MIUI worked.
Can anyone help me.???

No it wont work he needs to update to antonx's kernel first. Read his op he has CWM 3.xxx and that will not let you upgrade to cm7.

The wiki says to use 5.0.2.x because 3.x.x.x versions DO NOT work. You're giving the wrong advice again.

Mierkat09 you are pretty new at this....try sticking with learning and less with helping.....this isn't ur first failed help guide.
Not trying to be mean here but really...you keep jumping in over your head.. I understand your only trying to help.

But the first time you flash it,doesn't it update it to blue, and then you can use that to flash cm7, right?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

It flashes directly into the ROM and boots you CM7. Maybe you should try what you're recommending to do before you try giving people advice, you're relaying it by the way you understood it which isn't necessarily the way it actually works.
Go back to stock, try to flash CM7 from CWM 3.
Go back to stock, try to flash CM7 from CWM 5.0.2.X
Come back when you know what happens and you'll see why the instructions in the wiki are the way they are.
When you're in doubt about giving advice, read the official instructions. We try to make it as easy as possible for everyone to do this.

mierkat, to make things simple there are 2 different version of "RED" CWM. The old version was back on Froyo and the early gingerbread leak custom kernels. We have moved on from then, and there is a NEW version of the 5.0.x.x CWMs. This is because bhundven's sms kernel's and fb's sms kernels used them. On all the current-ish GB roms like vb fb and other new ones, you have 5.0.x.x. So you are safe if you flash CM7-CM9-AOKP-AOSP by erikmm-other TKA-other TNo0b-etc... from these newer Touchwiz GB roms. The best way to check is by booting to recovery. If you have 3.x, then I recommend downloading Valhalla-Black by FBis251 which can be found in the general section. After flash, without rebooting, go to the main CWM home menu, then go to advanced, then choose reboot recovery. You should now be in a 5.0.x.x CWM. Here you can have fun!
EDIT: FB beat me to it

I see, sorry about that. Was confused because i thought the red was always 3.x and blue was 5.0.x.x. When i flashed cm7,i just followed the instructions in the wiki

Coming from Nexus s, new to G2X

Hi All,
just got a second line for work and i bought a g2x. got it rooted but haven't flashed a recovery yet.
is it true i can't just flash it via clockmod? on cyanogenmod's website it specifically says its the way to flash recovery but ive noticed in a few posts here that it will not flash recovery. i can really use some lights on this guys.
Thanks in advance.

To flash recovery the correct way, head on over to here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

If by clock mod you mean ROM manager, you can. But you will get your phone bricked if something goes south.
This phone is unbrickable, almost. Nvflash cwm on it and flash roms via it.
Search is your diaper friend.

So yes, and no...but yes. Confused yet?
You CAN use Rom Manager to flash a recovery and do backups / flash roms. The only issue comes up when you bork something up, and by you I mean rom manager of course, and you get a boot loop and have to pull the battery to get into recovery....you can't. It's got to do with the partitions RM uses I think. If you read enough you'll see that RM "fake flashes" CWM to your phone and you can't access it if it gets borked. Soooo you use Nvidia's NVFlash utility to flash CWM to your phones recovery partition. Then you're good to go. If you dig up the old CM7 thread, Cyanogen basically said that NVFlash replaces Fastboot for the G2x, but he uses RM from then on out.
Sooo use TGA_Gunnman's tool linked in the post above to install CWM the first time, then use RM is you so choose too. FWIW I've never used RM.

Thank you! got it now
i've been reading and trying the ICS roms, none seem to be as stable as a gingerbread rom.
what are you guys using?

is v6 built in or do i need to port and flash?

I don't understand why people tell you to use ROM manager.
Only use nvflash to flash clockwork, and ONLY use ROM manager to rename your backups and to boot into recovery. Never use ROM manager to flash ANYTHING.
ICS ROMs are all pretty much betas for this phone. If you want stable stay with stock or cm7.

No, you can find the v6 super charger script instructions in Android hacking and general section I think.

soft bricked? please help

hey guys the other day i was on the nov 12th nightly of aokp. really liked it but it kept vibrating randomly so i reverted back to my rom of slimbean with the instagatorX kernel. the battery life was terrible so today i decided to go to the nov 15th nightly of aokp. and i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and gapps. and then proceeded to reboot. it boots by displaying samsung on the screen then nothing. so i was going to just go back to the recovery and i use TWRP btw. and it wont boot into recovery. the only thing the phone will do is it will display the charging animation when i plug the phone in but only if the phone is off. and i can also go into odin mode. but thats it. is there anyway to save my phone except reverting back to stock? any help is greatly appreciated.

Why not revert to stock!! Then work your way back! Nice way to spend the evening!

Can you flash a new recovery with Odin? Then maybe access that one to restore to a working ROM.

You have to go back to stock and then start over. Why don't you want to go back to stock? You can find the stick Rom at sammobile.com

Reboot Issue

Okay so I bought a Blaze a few days ago and I was messing around with it and I rooted it. When I rooted it I flashed a ROM and when the ROM booted up and got to the welcome screen it instantly turned rebooted itself, so I let it boot up again but it constantly reboots. Then I went back to a backup of the stock ROM and it still does the same thing. So I followed a guide that updated me to the ICS update in hopes of it fixing it but it still does the same thing! Now I don't know what to do with it. I was hoping maybe someone can help or if this has happened to anyone? Thanks in advance

did you wipe data/cache/dalvik in recovery?

Yes I did all of that like a billion times and still nothing

I see you only have ten post so my first question is are you just new to xda and have knowledge and experience with root and recovery and custom roms or is this all new to you?

I was trying to flash the MIUI build and I think it came with a kernel that I had to download but I'm not sure. I flashed CWM I forgot what version it was

Yes, the miui we have has a link to racing's blue lightning. I would try miui or another ROM again, but make sure to format /system along with wiping data, cache, and davlik. Or use black hole wipe. If you don't have anything important on the internal SD (or back it up) it might be worth it to format the emmc also.
