2.In some rom they mentioned to wipe data and in some rom they mentioned to wipe cache and dalvik cahce ,so can anyone tell me what are all should be wiped and should i need to do factory reset before flashing rom?

1.Flash kernel using fastboot if there is no flashable zip.
2.You need to wipe all before flashing a new rom,Data,Cache,Dalvik Cache.

Hi There,
I always flashed the kernel right after flash the rom and haven't got any issues.
For a new rom, data factory reset, format /system and format /boot then flash straight away most of the time. For an upgrade, only wipe cache and dalvik cache.
For a kernel it depends, but generally just cache and dalvik cache will be fine.
Wipe cache and Dalvik cache before flashing ROM as well. I do wipes 2 or 3 times..

I always do a double wipe before flashing any new rom and do a dalvik/cache-wipe before flashing a new kernel
For that i use the attached filed. Just flash via recovery (any). Helps to do it a little bit faster like doing in manual
Hi
I just bought my first android phone which is a Google Nexus S, and I guess flashing/installing (I never know which is the correct term to describe this action!) a kernel from XDA can give better performance or some extra features, e.g. BLN
However, I don't seem to be able to find a complete tutorial of how to flash/install a kernel, can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks in advance
First you need root.
Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik cache maybe twice.
Then find the kernal in your SD and install
Reboot

Wiping cache does not delete your data.
Unlocking the bootloader to get a custom recovery will wipe everything.

so in this case, flashing a kernel will NOT delete my data, correct? since I don need custom recovery, and I have already rooted
U dont need to wipe cache. Simply wipe delvik cash then flash your kernel on your sensation.

You don't have a custom recovery? I suppose you could use Flash Image GUI but you're really gonna wanna get a custom recovery. Especially since you want to make a backup before you flash in case something goes awry.
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*
Doesnt matter just wipe dalvik cache and ur good. Through custom recovery

clockwork recovery is the base for flashing anything.

use this guide to install CWM(See Part 3 of the Guide)
once done just wipe dalvik cache in CWM and flash any kernel .zip file
you dont need to wipe dalvik cache, cache, or anything else. as these dont have anything to do with the kernel. you can flash kernels via recovery(in .zip form), or with fastboot/terminal emulator(in boot.img form).
Hi Guys. As my title shows I can't flash any other rom other than the official CyanogenMod 9.1. I do a full wipe of data, cache , and Dalvik Cache before I try a flash and as soon as I reboot I go into a bootloop. Any help would be great.
Boot to bootloader and write down everything from that screen
Boot to recovery and write down what version
Also name ROM you tried

Be sure to flash the boot.img, I currently have KitKatDS and any other rom will black screen on start up without first flashing.
Good Luck, Conner.
If not boot.img, your recovery may be out of date. Have you tried using one of these?
