Abyss kernel not flashing with ICS custom roms

When I go into CWM and install abyss kernel.zip, it hangs on 'Installing update...' then after a while the phone reboots, no kernel is installed, why is this?

Are you flashing the kernel from stock recovery ?

Try CF Root gingerbread kernel.
I assume you want a safe kernel to flash/restore something right ?
I managed to flash it using ODIN PC, when I do it this way my phone hangs at the Galaxy Note logo screen with yellow triangle, the only way to get out of it is to reflash a rom.

Are you trying use abyss as kernel for ics? Because abyss is for gb, use speedmod k3-3 as kernel for ics. It is a safe ics kernel.

You have tried to cook up a Rom yourself and yet do not know that GB kernel cannot get an ICS Rom to boot up? C'mon man.

To be truthful...I never knew that, really! the main purpose of flashing Abyss kernel was because I was following instructions to flash a custom rom so I can 'Full wipe'.

And that's it: full wipe. After that you immediately flash an ICS Rom/kernel of your choice and it overwrites Abyss; you don't try to boot up ICS on Abyss.

flash rom with stock recovery?

simple question. can i flash flexreaper rom with stock ics 4.0.3 recovery? or do i have to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery first? i have limited access to a pc and just got rooted this morning
You should be able to. Be sure to flash the honeycomb kernel parts immediately after flashing the ROM.

simple answer: no you cannot flash much of anything with the stock recovery.
If you want flexreaper then yes its best to flash the patched bootloader. Have the rom on yr sdcard ready to install once you've flashed the bootloader/custom recovery.
You can use the locked bootloader (3.01) with some of the flexreaper roms but be warned, its not the optimal solution. If you go this route you will need acer recovery installer to flash a custom recovery first.

If you really want the ring you'll need to update the BL
Do you have yr cpuid from HC or an old HC backup??
any reason you're not too keen to flash???
No I never had the Hc uid I updated to ota straight out of the box. I have my current uid tho. it's not that I'm against flashing I just have limited access to a PC and to install programs and go through the whole process with someone elses PC is basically unreasonable.

yeh fair enough. I ran stock OTA ics for a month or so and was reasonably happy with it...civato's stock ics rom was better though...and as far as his flex series of roms go they are the absolute best!!

I know it. I can see the features and the overwhelming recognition on YouTube and any Google search of a500 room. I'm just looking for the magical update.zip file that will cure all my shortcomings as far as the iconia goes. Thanks for the help friend.

Stuck on recovery can't flash roms

Hi, im using cwm recovery v5.5.0.4 and i tried to go from cm7 android 2.3 to cm10.2 android 4.3. Flashing the rom wouldn't make any change and i got an error which i searched on it and found out that i has to be on ics stock to flash any ics custom. I downloaded from huawei site the ics original and tried to force upgrade, when in step 2 i got an error -> Update failed. Then i tried to force upgrade to 2.3 orginal gb and got the same issue. Now im actually trying to boot in device and flash my old rom of gb custom cm7 but after update completion im stuck on recovery. Any ideas? Its immerse to fix it.. TY

format system data cache in cwm then mount system data cache then flash the rom zip
this is for stock based roms
if using cm based roms you have to flash percys or black reactor kernel first then reboot to recovery and do above
you can always change your stock rom baseband by flashing a different stock rom if you have problems

i have tried jelly blast not the v3 and its now flash
thanks
Sorry if i am rude but this guy gave me heart attack in my knees !!

I don't even know lol

Its been a very long time since I've had to dig this deep into flashing and I've always been a Samsung user so I'm somewhat use to the less difficult route. I'm running the 4.4.4 mokee ROM with the kitkat boot loader. Im trying to get miui running on my phone. The miui ROM is on 4.2.2 and I'm guessing requires a JB bootloader to flash. So my question is, is there a pre-rooted rsd package to get back to 4.2.2 so I can flash miui or do I have to flash back to stock, re-root and re-flash a custom recovery? Honestly I'm trying to get back for stability also. Unless someone knows where a KitKat miui ROM is for our phone? Other than the "V6" tablet ui ROM. It isn't no where stable enough.

simplest route for you: install rsdlite, flash stock 4.4.2 which will upgrade you to kk bootloader. then install supersu from play store, then towelroot and root your phone. thereafter, use motocalypse to unlock bootloader.
after that you are free to pick and choose which rom you want to install. if you wish to install a jb rom, you will have to downgrade to jb bootloader. otherwise, you're free to install your favorite recovery followed by your favorite kk rom while still on the kk bootloader

You don't have to be rooted to flash custom recoveries, so just downgrade to stock 4.1.2 (there was no 4.2) and then flash a custom recovery for the old bootloader.

I flashed the JB file but it failed to flash a 4.2.2 ROM...since it flashes back to 4.1.2 would I have to flash a 4.1.2 based ROM and then flash a 4.2.2 rom?

If meant for 4.1.2 kernel then use flash back 4.1.2 then when recovery reboots flash the 4.1.2bl rom. Which 4.2.2 ROM are you trying?
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

Miui. I'm gonna try the 4.1.2 miui and then after it boots see if it will flash the 4.2.2 ROM.
I can't get any jb ROM to flash using the flashback zip... I guess rsd it is
