Sorry I've been reading forums after forums, but I still cannot figure out how to flash custom kernels over. I'm interested in flashing Trinity 15 1.04 Froyo. Would I do this through cwm? If so then I would have to rename it to update.zip correct? I read somewhere that you have to flash your new rom and this kernel at once so I don't think I can name both of them "update.zip" While I was searching on google I read a forum that said to flash the kernel through Rom Manager... what should I do?
Thanks advance for any input!
Have you done the Nvflash with cwm ? If so you just place it on your sd card and shut down the phone. then hold volume down and power. It will boot into cwm. then select flash .zip and find the file that you wanna flash.
As in setting up cwm?

This one?
Update: Ahh! Ok thank you very much! I didn't know you can choose a specific .zip file... I guess I was used to rooting the G1 a long time ago where you can only install update.zip files... or maybe that's what I told myself..... -.-
No worries. glad you got It worked it!
yea i would def use the new recovery that is the red lettering especially if ur going to be flashing kernels the one it sounds like u want is ext4 so if u want no problems with backing up ur stuff look into that
yes and remember when flashing a kernel hazard is rite but when ur in cwm and u want to flash one over ur rom wipe cache then go to advanced n wipe dalvik then flash kernel.....now if its a rom with the kernel in it.... wipe data cache and dalvik
Just a quick question to double check.. I rooted my atrix 2 and installed CWM and took backup of my phone thru it. So two questions:
1.} Now to install custom rom, what should i do? directly now download and install thru cwm or need to flash any other thing?
2.} I accedently changed my stock battery icon thru rom toolbox pro and when i restore my stock rom thru cwm it says md5 check failed.. What should i do?
To install a Custom Rom only need access to CWM Recovery, and follow the installation steps of the Rom you choose, as there are two forms, one is restored and the other is flashing, so you should read the instructions.
thanks buddy!
I did not use rsd or did not flash fast bootfiles, are these necessary for installing custom rom? I guess not i am trying custom roms now..
And what abt the second question?

No rsd and fastboot files are for flashing back to stock in the case of u messing up your phone (soft brick or bootloop)

for restoring. do a few things. first, make a backup right now and try to restore it right away. If that works, something went wrong with your old one. you can open up the nandroid.md5 file within the backup folder and delete everything, that will make it restore, but it could cause some issues if it really was broken. Or it could not even boot, but that is what the fxz is for.
If it also fails, most likely there is something wrong with your sdcard. that happened to me. try formatting it WITH THE PHONE (backup anything that you need to since it will be wiped). if it fails both times the backups are most likely fine, so just delete everything in the nandroid.md5 file and do it. Keep in mind it may still have issues so be familiar with the stock restoring process just in case.
As always, i don't take responsibility for anything that happens.
All right, my issue is I have no clue in following directionshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970 that are listed here, I understand how to get to command line, but I am unsure from there, I would love a good detailed instructions or something to help me out. I'm trying to flash a custom rom that requires me to have an updated cwm. Thank you so much and sorry for my noobish question!

its simple man if you have a custom recovery already all you need to do is flash the zip file like any other file you would in CWM.
if you dont have a custom recovery already use odin check out vincoms stickie in the developement page and flash the recovery thru odin and that it . pretty simple

the issue lies in that the only way to install the custom rom is to upgrade my custom recovery to the latest one, and thanks for your response!
EDIT: I researched online and found a method with fastboot and the recovery image, I will try this, is this a wrong method or is it possible?
You don't need fastboot at all if you already have a custom recovery installed. Just download the cwm flashable zip and flash it just like you would a rom (install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal/external > choose the cwm zip and choose install, then choose the recovery option to reboot recovery to boot into the new recovery.

If you have CWM or ClockWork Mod installed on your phone.
----- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT THE CWM TOUCH ZIP FILES ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD AND NOW GO TO RECOVERY MODE AND FLASH IT, GO TO INSTALL FROM SD CARD, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW IT? OR IF NOT MESSAGE ME I'LL HELP YOU STEP BY STEP.
If you DON'T have CWM.
----- download a cwm and flash it through odin and after having cwm, do that instruction above.

You're all jacked up, dude. Just grab the zip file, place it on your sd card, and flash it in recovery.

Hello!
I've got a problem. I flashed PACMAN rom from berni witho Gapps and...
All works fine. But when I try turn on my phone I've got booti:mmcread0... I don;t remember.
What can I do? After this mmcread... screen becomes many colours.
What should I do? I'm coming from 28b normal rooted with CWM recovery.

Come one man.. stop this smartflash ideas. and bootv21e.
first smartflash give you many problems asi IMEI lost, then you go back to GB with this 21e.
So... now to Karim Kahale
Explain us what you had before PACMAN
1. Bootloaders?
2. Recovery?
3. GB or ICS?
4. was this mod ROM or stock?
5. How did you flash it? Did you clean any thing. Did you read all on the first page?
6. Is this PACMAN on dual boot or not?
Then we can start thinking about that.
some ides
- if you had stock ICS before with locked bootloader - probably the kernel has to be changed
- if you had GB - look the first page
- go to recovery and flash another Rom if you have - before that keep the power button for 20 sec to be sure that you stop the phone, and then start it for recovery.
.
But do not use SmartFlash.., if you go for such a big system change... let use LG Flash Tool and use 28b big partition.
edit: someone with the same problem like you link

The Fact You see booti:mmcread0 (AFAIK Stock loader does not display anything~) means you wkparkbootloader but which version if not 1.25a flash it then reflash the rom i also got that with a previous version of pacman just reflash your rom or try another think it has something todo with the kernel
Before PACMAN I had the same problem with MIUI by OptimusRS. But I couldn't enter recovery mode. Then, when I boot in recovery, i couldn't boot phone in normal mode! Flashing with CWM didn't work.
Then I flashed normal v28b (without fls file, only bin) with normal partitions from xbsall. Than i flashed bootloader and CWM using All-In-One by OS-hacking version 1.2 (in the first post of this tool there is an information "6- ICS Bootloaders (wkpark's 1.25a Bootloaders)"
PACMAN I downloaded from there and read all on the first page.
Version pac_p920-nightly-20130613 but I couldn't flash it because when I tried it in CWM was: assert fail Status 7 instalation aborted so I delete updater script assert and then flashed rom and gapps. Before flashing I did "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache". Anything more.
Then I wrote this thread. I boot in recovery mode (to see does it work) and now I can't boot normal. Only CWM mode. Flashing rom with CWM doesn't help. That same as it was with MIUI. What should I do now? If I flash 28b with flashtool what should I do next?

probably you are in recovery "Recovery Loop". take the file of the fires post form this threat. Then you flash new recovery.
And read the whole first post there. hope this work for you
Thank you bro! I'll try this today. Now I am on another computer but second is in my neighborhood. There I have all needed files. Today I'll edit this post and tell you does it work.
EDIT:
I've got a problem :/ When I try: mounts and storage>mount USB storage it doesn't work. I can't mount sdcard because my sd card reader is damaged. Why? I don't know.
When I replaced my digitizer in phone reader stopped working. Before it works. I was on ported acura (korean based on port from xbsall). After that I flashed v21e Gingerbread and reader didn't work.
What can I do? I want use my sdcard but I can't.
EDIT 2:
I couldn't copy file to phone so I flashed v28b normal partitions by xbsall. Please tell me, what should I do now? I don't wanna flash next time with LG Flashtool.

Do you want ICS or JB?
In both cases you should do that:
1. Download this tool. Probably you have it already.
2. Flash with it EXACTLY:
(8- Flash ICS BootLoader)
(6- Flash TWRP Recovery (version 2.3). - Yes... this one. not the one for ICS.
3. Start the 28b that you have and format both internal and external card - make a copy before that
4. Reboot in recovery and install the custom Rom according to the instruction
Unfortunately you install the normal partition so many roms will not work. I suggest you that you install the big partition 28b. with it all roms work.

OK. I'll try it. But why my sd card reader is damaged?
Do you know how can it damage?
EDIT:
What do you think? Phone will work better with ICS or with JB?
Which one is better?
I don't need 3D, but smooth. Only smooth and fast.
And should I install v28blarge only bin or bin + fls?

JB Kernels are still not mature for O3D. And there is where you get more battery and speed. Look in my signature what I use. For me is the best combo. if you delete around 40 apps that you do not use form Darkroom V4 XXL ROM and put Acura Next Level V4 KERNEL and tune it good - you can get around 2-3 days using your phone in light condition. I could not get more than 24h with any JB and tunings.
Edit: only the BIN. take the fls form 30a

Thank you one more time. What do you think about this rom?
And:
How can my sd card reader damage? Is this problem of system or hardware problem? When I was on ported ICS I didn't flash bootv21e. At once I flashed normal v21e. Maybe it's the problem?
it is not damaged. probably you have to re-format it within the system you use. search around the forum - i do not have in mind in the moment. Was s.t. about ported ICS and P920 ICS file system.
OptimusRs is a good developer. I have not test his rom but is based on 30A so probably is OK for you if you are from Europa.

have you search around the forum? have you try to format the card on your phone or computer?
with this tool you con format your card (on the computer not inside your phone) to be Fat32 - just delete the partition and make a new one in fat32. put it back in the phone and try again.
I'll try it. But problem is the any sd cards don't work on phone but on other phones it works.

Can someone help?
I think this has basically been said before, by defcomg and others, but it could be from a bad flash due to incorrect driver install or incomplete flash. Yes, you will need to use LG Flash Tool to reflash. Follow 1-2 here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
then install whatever rom you wish. Just be aware that some custom roms require wkpark bootloader to be installed first, as has been said before.
I have not tried installing Pacman.

Sorry that I haven't replied. I was in Italy ;D
So, if i flash it, will sd card reader work?
If it was working before, it should. Mine is working. I have heard of this issue before with Pacman; I think it is a bug with some versions of it, but don't quote me on that. There is probably some other way to fix it, but flashing a ROM known to work is one way.
So i don't know if this has been asked or tried before but i always notice that when people flash new roms or go back to stock they sometimes lose root
or even custom recovery.
I could be wrong but before you reboot your phone,
after you just installed that rom couldn't you just flash the recovery.img and then flash the superuser.zip?
i mean shouldn't it at least work?
just curious.
