[Q] Problem installing Franco.kernel - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody! I am quite new so please show some understanding recently I rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed rasbeanjelly ROM and trinity kernel. After a couple of days using it I decided to install Franco kernel.. So I downloaded it and installed it (thought so). When I boot up my nexus 7 the boot animation was still from trinity kernel, so I installed it again but same results. Please help :/ I install the kernels with CWM touch. Thanks in advance

i installed mine with fastboot because as far as i know the kernel file was an .img file and not zip (which it has to be for using cwm).
but donot forget to wipe your davlik cache after installing the new kernel.

It's beacuse the Franco kernel doesn't have a boot animation but you can flash the file i added to this post.

There is both ways to install the kernel, also with .zip! I cannot post the link right now because I don't have posted 10 times but I can send it by pm . thanks though

What is "Error flashing zip (Status 7)"?

I got this twice lately, flashing different ROMs. Does anyone know what Status 7 means? Thanks!

Something to do with your recovery I think. Do you have a custom recovery? If so try flashing a new recovery and then try again ?
Hi, I use the latest version of TWRP. What do you recommend, CWM?
Edit: No, actually I use the last but one version. Will update and hope for the best.

So you have no backup or another file you can flash? If not, install drivers...
This also belongs in QA.

Install correct drivers and flash stock rom with adb. Else use the toolkit.

We can't debug your windows pc... Fast boot drivers can/will install fine. Try another computer and see if the toolkit will get you going.
Edit: all you need to do is read, read the stickies and read tutorials on how to return to stock. The drivers will install without being inside Android

Remove the current n4 drivers with device manager in windows. Then find the proper drivers here on xda in the n4 general section. After that you should be able to use the toolkit to boot to recovery or flash a stock build.

Haha
i managed to install the drivers. Now im downloading the stock image and i'll flash it with the toolkit

I know why it went into bootloop. To flash other kernals aside frmo Francos...you need to flash stock boot image. Francos kernal has you flash his boot image in order to flash his kernal. I dont know why this is the case on the nexus 4, maybe because he is building blindly without a nexus 4 present with him.
The Gnexus wasnt like this but.....thats why you went into boot loop. I just skimmed his thread and found out your case was due to the above.

Think the op should change the title of the 3d as it is misleading and blame faux for nothing

3d? Funny way to spell thread
you were supposed to flash reset kernel first then faux kernel!! read the op!!! >.<
You can't brick a Nexus LOLs. Just download the toolkit. Easy way to fix your phone.

Franco uses his own ram disk. Other kernels do not. This is why you need to flash back to stock first.

[Q]Multirom kezec hard boot install?

I posted about this a couple of times in the multirom thread but I never got and answer so I thought I might post about it here in the q&a.
My question is when/how do I install the kezec hard boot kernel during the multirom setup /install? As in do i install it before i install multirom? Do i inject the boot.img after?
I didn't really get how to do it from the instructions and I'm quite wary about doing things I don't understand.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There isn't a kernel in the Multi-boot package, so are you referring to installing a 3rd-party one? It's probably most convenient to have that installed beforehand, because you will need to do the installation differently otherwise.
He says in his post that from multirom v3 onwards multirom uses some kexec-hardboot thing and that u need a patched kernel. Thanks for youre reply anyway

Right, pretty sure most devs have patched their kernels so most should work.

my nexus 4 is bricked :(

Hey guys,
I've recently updated to android 4.3
I've installed franco kernel on top of the os and it seems to screw up my phone
the phone restarted and its stuck on the google logo
I've tried to use nexus root toolkit of WUG to install stock + unroot in the soft brick mode
and its still stucked on the google logo
tried factory reset from bootloader and now it tells me I dont have OS hehe
mmm dont know really what to do from here and not sure
I did the above mentioned steps as I should.
I dont have problem to delete everything and to do a factory reset if possible
Also I'd like to have 4.2.2 .. loved it more as I could work with franco kernel
would much appriciate any guidence on to follow up from here
as I am preety lost.
thanks alot mates!
That is soft bricked and there is like a million ways to fix it.
If you want you can sideload a custom rom of your choice or you can just use the Nexus Stock Images which allows you to install 4.2.2 or 4.3.

Since it is just Soft bricked then yes, just boot to recovery with volume up and power, scroll to recovery, select and restore your backup.

Choose your android version here, choose the Mako/Occam type.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
From the looks of it there is no Fastboot binary in it so you need to copy them over to that folder making sure your in the bootloader and you have drivers.

And now you will laugh any time you soft brick the phone again because you'll realize how easy it is to fix it. I was in the same boat as you and learning how to use ADB/Fastboot really changed the game for me.

Make sure you are downloading the correct version of franco if you still want his kernel.

No problem here with latest TWRP and stock Rom.
Cwm has some issues though.

TWRP works fine.. thanks..
One more quick question, if I install TARDIS mod patch, will it affect when I move to another kernel on the same ROM?
Kernel patches need to be re-applied each time you change the kernel.
