When you load the kernel are you flashing the zimage manually or using a packaged update.zip that includes the wifi module for that kernel?

all im doing is using flashboot to flash the .img.
no idea how to flash it properly, could use your help

Are you building the kernel and boot image yourself or pulling them from somewhere?

I just downloaded netarchys 1.2.4 cfs, and extracted the .img and fastbooted it onto the phone.
What i think you're saying is that this is not the correct method to flash the kernel because the other folders are not being put on to the phone (hence broken wi fi)
If thats the case just need help to flash the kernel properly

Ah, indeed
So, that zip is meant to be applied via a custom recovery (CWM). It will flash not only the boot image, but also copy the newly build kernel modules, create a custom /etc/init.d and install busybox.
By flashing just the boot image you are missing the rebuilt modules and the custom init.d (which mounts /data with noauto_da_alloc, etc and sets windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=72 for better scolling performance. As a result of not having the rebuilt kernel modules when the network module tries to load (bcm4329.ko) the version number won't match the kernel and it will fail to load. If you check dmesg you'll see it complaining
Flash this via a custom recovery and you should be fine (just place the entire zip on your device and then chose it from CWM).

right, thanks that clears that up.
however, i have another problem now!
Basically i flashed the netarchy kernel, realized i had no wifi, did a factory reset thinking ill get back to stock, however im stuck with this netarchy kernel AND ive lost CWM.
3G is being a pain and not downloading properly etc.
Is there any way for me to reset and just flash CM7 and Netarchy 1.2.4
im outta ideas :/ thanks for the help!

When you reboot on a stock rom there is a script that checks recovery and if it is not stock it will reflash the stock recovery. This is an easy fix though. If you want to stay on stock you can flash CWM through fastboot, flash the SU binary and then rename/delete the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh or something like that).
If you want to just flash CM7 then just download the full zip and place it on the phone. Flash CWM through fastboot, boot into recovery and flash CM7 as desired (RC or nightlies). Then go ahead and apply the appropriate netarchy kernel - there's a separate version for CM IIRC. Make sure you do a full wipe before you flash CM7.

Ok so im downloading rom manager onto my phone, downloading CM7 on pc, then will transfer to phone (whole zip right?) then i just reboot in recovery, wipe and flash CM7, and THEN start on the kernel lol
Ok thanks ill keep ya updated really appreciate it
edit
Thanks a lot booted and rooted running CM7 and Netarchy

[help] wifi problem after flashed custom kernel

Hi everyone, i'm running viper 2.4.1 with hboot 1.14 on my phone right now. However, when i tried to flash other custom kernels , i have a weird problem with my phone as it can't re-connect to wifi ( i set my phone to turn off wifi when screen is off). It's always says error and i have to reboot my phone to get it work again. Here what i've did
- flash elementalX 3.2 kernel=> wifi problem=> re-flashed kernel& boot.img=> still have wifi problem
- switch to beatmode 4.4 kernel=> same problem=> reflash kernel + boot.img from elementalX ( beatmode kernel doesn't have boot.img)==> problem still there
- flash stock kernel=> doesn't work, i guess i have to flash stock boot.img but i don't know where to find it
- fresh re-flash viper rom + beatmode kernel/elemenatalX=> wifi problem
- re-flash viper rom only ( with stock kernel comes along with it) => everything works perfectly
===> so i'm stucked right now. i tried to search in kernels thread, viper threads but there is no answers. Can someone help me to solve this problem?
P/s: i always wipe cache/davik cache before and after i flashed things

The kernel is the boot.img
Are you fastbooting the img
WiFi issues almost always are caused by the boot img
Try and fastboot the boot.img from the kernels that you want to use...and make sure their compatible with the Rom you choose

Viper Tom Is compatible with elementalx /beatmode kernels I believe. I also always flash boot.img (comes along with kernel) in fastboot mode.

[ROM BML GB 2.3.6] HebrewBarebone

What is it ?
Plain BML stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 AntonX Barebone ROM.
Deodexed, so can be applied with tweaks.
Fully added Hebrew translation (in addition to English), applied with Right-To-Left tweak (when needed).
Debloated : WiFi Calling, T-mobile my acount and my device, Talkback, ThinkDroid Office, Android Keyboard (put Samsung keyboard instead), Voice dialer.
Added : Audio DSP Manager, Memo, Sidekick KD1 modem, ICS boot animation.
Optional Odexer script attached.
Why ?
If you speak Hebrew and you want the latest stock firmware for SGH-T959V with full Hebrew support and UI, this is the ROM for you.
To get even faster results flash the odexer script right after the ROM and you'll get your ROM odexed.
It should be more stable, clean and reliable than HebrewValhalla.
Oh, and WiFi tethering, TV Out, soft keys - all work...
How to apply
Requires BML file system with GB bootloaders.
If you're on MTD file system (CM7/ICS/JB) or Froyo - use Heimdall One Click back to stock with Root and flash via CWM (followed by the odexer script).
Please note : if you booted to the deodexed ROM without flashing the odexer script later
and you want to odex the ROM now - wipe dalvik cache before applying the odexer.

Tried to flash your rom like this :
1. flashed stock kg4 via odin
2. rebooted
3. Flashed AntonX 1.1.3 kernel via odin
4. Rebooted while partition were converted
5. got into cwm and flashed your rom
Wifi does not work. Tried it AT LEAST 3 times.
Please advise,
Thanks
Update : also tried it with the KJ6 you posted on iandroid and the wifi still doesnt work
The wifi DOES WORK with stock rom
Update #2 : flashed antonx 1.1.3 barebone rom with the rtl patch i kept from while ago and the wifi works
BTW after flashing the Heimdall package - in it's CWM menu you cant delete dalvik cache (it like fast reboots/restes the CWM mwnu)

Just checking... have you tried flashing the rom again after wifi fails?

Hi
Yes, But not on top of the non wifi working rom, but of fresh stock rom installation

Reflash it on the non-wifi working. Sometimes the wifi module doesn't flash quite right the first time, and it takes another go. Since everything else basically sticks around, as long as you don't wipe between your non-wifi-working and the reflash, sometimes that makes it work... when that happens, it usually ends up being that your recovery turned off the system mount before it actually was done. Oops.

Hi Fish
I have been using this ROM for weeks. You are doing things wrong. Leave Odin aside.
Use Heimdall package posted in OP (verify everything works) and just flash the ROM (you can skip the Voodoo lagfix procedure, it's automatic).
It will all be to your satisfactory.

Ok Itzik,
Although i did it, I will do it now once again and will let you know wazzup.
Update : After flashing heimdall - wifi does not work Will try to flash some other stock or find other rom as a base
Update 2 : I give up for now.I'll try to make the cm9.1 work since it's really frustrating to me and I can mess too much with the phone and miss sms and calls. maybe will try it late at night in one of the upcoming days.
Thank you

Hi Fish
OK, we know now that the ROM is not the problem. I'll tell you what you can do; try to remove the battery, press the power button for 10 seconds and then leave phone untouched for 15 minutes. Return the battery and get to download mode.
Now make a 2 steps Heimdall. The one by Lumin (stock unrooted) and the AntonX kernel Heimdall package. Verify that you have WiFi and flash this ROM (followed by the odexer). Good luck!

Well....What i did is :
1. Flashed stock KG4 2.3.6 rom via odin
2. rebooted system
3. Flashed Antonx 1.1.3 Kernel via odin
4. Rebooted
5. Flashed via CWM one after the other : anotnx deodexed 1.13 rom AND 0.93 hebfix patch itzik2sh made a while ago which i kept
Now it's on antonx 1.1.3 rom + hebrew support and wifi WORKS

Hi Fish
You keep doing things not according to instructions and what you post here is not even this ROM.
This ROM is full UI Hebrew enabled, already includes RTL fix and I do not recommend using Odin any more.
You can now take a nandroid backup and flash this ROM (and odexer), otherwise I don't see the relevance of this post.

Hi Fish
You said the problems you had came on Heimdall flash, even before ROM flash itself.

Then, You say what "worked" for you is flashing another ROM after an Odin..

So, I saw no relevance to that post, unless you now back up and flash this ROM (and optionally the odexer), as I already suggested and find a problem there.

[Q] Changing Stock kernels

Hi,
I have managed to put on a kernel that's not working. Is there a way to revert back to the original kernel? I do have a nandroid backup, but re-installing that didn't put on the old kernel.
I am using Liquidsmooth ROM. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

if you can boot into the rom use flashimagegui, if not do the normal fastboot the boot.img then do it again with flashimagegui to get the modules.
what kernel did you try to flash? the only kernel that will work with new liquidsmooth is cm10.1_vz-oc-linaro.3.zip. it contains modules, if you aren't s-off then you need to flash boot.img in fastboot then flash again in recovery for the modules.

I did exactly that, presuming that it was working... But I have been facing issues. The phone restarts every once in a while and I have managed to get to this condition after multiple wipes and restoring a backup. Anyways I don't know what the issue is I was just wondering how to revert back to the original kernel.

im running Liquid-JB-v2.1-RC2-evita.zip and cm10.1_vz-oc-linaro.3.zip. there seem to be some general issues with the rom that present as basically glitching and gets worse overtime atleast for me. im pretty sure it isnt related to the kernel. but to revert kernel just load the liquidsmooth zip into flashimagegui and itll pull the needed files, let it wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.

yes, Flash Image GUI

Thanks I'll make sure I do that..

also new stable build of liquidsmooth just got released. you should flash it. imma flash it with a clean full wipe. but you should s-off first so you dont have to flash boot.img separately every rom.

Ya, I saw the new version wanted to try that which is why I wanted to got to the old kernel version. I had tried installing it with the linaro kernel but it gets stuck on the boot screen.
Update: - I installed the flash gui image, then extracted and installed the kernel , factory reset the phone, then installed the latest liquid smooth build. But it is still not going ahead of the boot animation.
Update 3 :- Got the old kernel back. Did a restore. Working fine now . But still for some reason I cannot install the new ROM yet.

you need everything. you don't need to extract the kernel. just load the whole zip file.

I did load the full file and the flash gui image extracted the kernel. The thing is I have the kernel now, but still I can't seem to be able to install the new version of the LiquidSmooth build. I am doing a nandroid backup of this thing and try installing it again.

well new liquidsmooth is nice, im using cwm now as recovery since ive had tons of issues with twrp since version 2.2.2.0

[Q] Xperia L kitkat wifi not work

Its a common thing when you first time flash kernel.
My solution. (and it works)
Flash kernel true flash tools.... ( thunder icon then flash fastboot then flash kernel.....you must extract the kernel zip then flash only his ,,boot.img,,)
IMPORTANT: BEFORE WHIPPING YOUR ROM PUT YOUR ZIP KERNEL FOLDER INTO YOUR INTERNAL DATA!!!
When you flash the kernel turn on your phone...wait while LED lamp is on then start tapping or hold volume button up on your phone.
Then you will enter into recovery.
True recovery flash new custom rom.....
When ROM install you wont have wi fi (not yet)
SOLUTION PART: Turn off your phone again then on,enter recovery and FLASH KERNEL AGAIN!!!
FIXED!

Make sure you're came from that firmware
