Flashing Kernels ? - Kindle Fire General

I have a question, if we do not have a working clockwork recovery how are we able to flash kernels and such ? Is there an alternative to clockwork recovery ?

Do some reading in the kernel threads and you will figure it out. Everyone is using fastboot to test kernels.

It has been done and you can read all about it in this thread:

How to install kernals?

New kernal, how to? Please forgive my ignorance. I had a buddy root my phone cause im not that sharp I am comfortable flashing new roms... Is it the same process with new kernals flash through clockwork or different

Flashing a non voodoo kernel is done the same way. There are several good kernels to chose from. Download, backup and install using clockwork. Flashing a voodoo kernel is also done that way with the major difference being in flashes after voodoo. You should read up and make sure you fully understand voodoo before flashing one of those. Hope that helped.

okay so i just flash the rom over the kernel and then re-flash the kernel?
yes. Full wipe then flash the rom. Reboot. To flash the kernel after, wipe cache and davlik then flash kernel. you might have known this already but thought id throw it out there.

Rooting apk for galaxy 2.3.4

Looking for an apk that will do this for me as z4root and gingerbreak won't work.
If you want root, why don't you flash a custom kernel, then boot into recovery and you will find an option for root built in, most will even install superuser for you too, with one click.
Tried using rom manager, 1 click speedmod but cant unless the phone is rooted
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You need to look at the threads in Dev section for the likes of speedmod or Galaxian Kernels, you download the kernal and Odin, connect the phone in download mode and then flash the kernal as PDA (i think), then reboot your phone, reboot again into recovery and you will have CWM built in with root options, no need for rom manager...
Just make sure you pick the right Kernel for your current rom!!!
Yes but the point is i want to know if its possible via an apk . I know how to flash

Since 2.2.1 it's been impossible to root the SGS without outside tools.
What are you hoping to accomplish?
I dont know maybe a portable root unroot apk for gingerbread, I can do it by pc but it would be good to do it via apk
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
seriously man. you are dumb. ukdtweak already give the clear answer for you.
Download this pacakage http://www.4shared.com/folder/sMLqbTXo/_online.html and istall via Odin.
Best
I think he know to root via install custom kernel, but he want to find another root menthod using app on the phone, doesn't need PC to flash custom kernel
this is the apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
so it DOES exist. seems some i9000 users were able to make use of the apk successfully, while most were not. and this is with 2.3.3. i suppose the chances of it working on 2.3.4 are even more unlikely.
Thank,you very much guys i would thanks you all but cant from the xda app

think best will be root with odin...
Does SuperOneClick work with 2.3.4?...

Gingerbread
I know of no apk.
Unfortunately the first root has to be done via Odin. All other rooted roms can be done via clockwork mod. Rom manager screws up when using it from desktop. 2 roms come into my thoughts: Cognition and Insanity. I downloaded a 3.3.4 rom, in the past and flashed via Odin and totally bricked my other phone. You can use Samfirmware.com for the latest secure rom and then find a rooted rom , of the same number and flash via Odiin.

Super 1 click must have a kernel which is unlocked to root the rom.

How to get back to stock kernel via adb? Wanna try Franco.

I am stock and rooted and I don't want to flash a custom recovery. I'm cool with using adb if someone tells me the steps.
Can anyone give me the steps via adb to install Franco and come back to stock if I need it?

You need fastboot. Not adb.
fastboot flash boot boot-r32.img

Why don't you want to flash a custom recovery? That makes no sense.

Any custom recovery will get overwritten upon reboot unless you patch the file. There are no risks to using a custom recovery to flash stuff. However, El gave you the correct fastboot command if you plan on going that route.
Alternatively, you can try fastboot boot boot.img [insert filename]

Check out number one. That should fix you up :thumbup:
Thanks.
I'll use the fastboot command. I keep getting adb and fastboot mixed up.
So I know how to flash franco's kernel if I want to. What about going back to stock?
I remember reading it's not as easy as simply finding the stock kernel and fastboot flashing that, because Franco's kernel also changes some other things. Is it?
It's easiest just to use a custom recovery do a nandroid backup flash the kernel then if you want to go back to stock just restore the nandroid
I know you don't want to use a custom recovery but this is the easiest way.

It's just as easy as flashing Franco. Just find stock kernel and fastboot flash it. Franco had its own ramdisk if that's what you mean but boot images overwrite them so no worries

Go to faux's kernel thread and download the kernel reset zip. That way you can go back to Franco's kernel without the need for your computer.
