Is it worth installing the developer preview with their bootstrap tool or will there be a flashable zip made soon for this so I can just do it in twrp

There are two files you have to flash in CWM/TWRP to have it available at any time. You don't even need a computer to install and test it. Be warned, though, it's really not worth it at it's current state.

The flashable zips are in here. I haven't personally tried it yet -- internet in my country is pretty crappy.. download will take a while..

Just to get everything clear, I flash the manta.zip, then the all devices.zip, and it will boot fine? As well can I just get back into twrp after to wipe and restore from nandroid backups?
Thanks in advance for the help

The dev preview installs CWM over TWRP it seems

Flash manta, then flash the armhf, then wipe and you're good to go. That worked for me and didn't mess with my sdcard at all. (obviously it does a 'factory reset' on the device though). Backup with TWRP and you're good to go.

Only if you do it using the Ubuntu install method, where it flashes the .imgs over top. If you install it via CWM/TWRP then it keeps whatever recovery you have on the device.

I flashed them both like you said, but it would just reboot my recovery when about 2/3 the way done with the armhf zip, and i tried just rebooting system but it just boots past google and sits at a black screen. Thinking i might have a bad download but nonetheless it was not a success on my end and im just back on android.
thanks anyways for the help, if anyone else hears of this issue and knows how to solve i would love to know.

Does this OS allow me to run any Ubuntu program? Or is it a different system?

Currently, it does not.

fireflash

This might sound stupid to some but when I am using Fireflash.. it comes up in red letters that Im not on 7.2.3 (expected that) so I therefore tick the flash box. I then add the boot partition in and the recovery partition but do I need to add the zip file at the bottom? I have downloaded the correct zip file just not sure if it's needed yet.
thanks

You can, but you will lose data. Flash it if you cant boot.

ah that's confusing.. at least for me it is. assumed I was going to lose all my data anyway and start fresh.

No, installing the 2nd bootloader and twrp themselves does not erase anything, you can still use the stock rom.

Does anyone have a flashable .zip of the 9.8.1Q-78-1 kernel?

I flashed argghhh's kernel and am having bluetooth stutters (with apt-x headphones). I am not sure it's because of the kernel though and want to test a bit.
Does anyone know how to restore the previous kernel without re-flashing the stock rom?

Just dirty flash the stock ROM, without wiping anything. Well, you could wipe cache/dalvik just to be safe. If you don't wipe data, dirty flashing the ROM shouldn't affect anything.

As sloosecannon made clear a simple solo restore of the boot partition / img is replacing the kernel.

9.8.1Q-78-1 Stock Kernel

Thanks everyone!
And thanks Attack!

Update: Oh wow, that was it. No skips at all now. 2/3 of my audio programs would skip before when starting a song (again, only when using an Apt-X compatible bluetooth headset). Or they'd skip when opening a menu while playing a song, or turning off the screen. Skips would continue for 5-10 seconds and then it would even out.
Not even once on the stock kernel. I guess I'll report this to arrghh

Hmm, I tried this and it installed and all, but my wifi is broken. I wonder if it is because I was on a deodexed stock rom. Will try a dirty flash of the whole thing now.

Weird... I'm on stock deodexed and I didn't have any problems. I used it to restore from arrrghhh's kernel.

Yeah, no idea. A dirty flash got it all back and working.
If I pressed the wifi toggle it would just turn back to off. After a few times I got the 10 fast vibrates and still nothing. Wiped caches a few time, still no.
But I'm back up and running

I was having an issues with my WiFi when using arggghhss.
Flashed the stock kernel from this thread and now I have the same problem with my WiFi not turning on. A dirty flashed fixed this? What's a dirty flash and where can I find a stock ROM?

Dirty flashing is just flashing without wiping anything. Just dirty flash whatever ROM you're using and it will reload the original kernel that came with that ROM. You can wipe cache/dalvik to be safe, but don't worry about wiping data when you're dirty flashing.

Thank you. I am just using stock ota ROM rooted and unlocked. I'm not sure where I can obtain a stock ROM because the one I have I received ota.
Anyone know where I can download a stock ROM? And when i flash, will I have to reroot?

Downloaded and attempted flash twice. It errord both times. Anyone have a stock ROM I can flash?
To clarify, I can't seem to get WiFi working on the stock kernel. WiFi functions somewhat on arrgs.

it should still work via CWM - but I think most folks are using TWRP.
what are your steps in the process?
mine would be:
copy zip file to the root folder of the sdcard (mnt/external1)
reboot recovery
mount system
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe data/factory reset
wipe system
reboot recovery (not sure if this in an option in CWM, if not, then just make sure that system is still mounted)
mount system
install ROM
reboot

Well I got it flashed. I was doing a dirty flash so I didn't wipe data or system. But I guess I didn't realize that you had to Mount system. I assumed that the recovery did that automatically.
After mounting system the stock rom flashed just fine and my WiFi is golden. Thanks to everyone who helped.

yeah, I think what happened was that you were installing a ROM with an incompatible kernel (existing one) or vice versa... in either case, glad you got it working. i almost always mount when tinkering....

What version of TWRP did FreeGee give you? I bet you need to update it to atleast 2.6.3.3
You can find it here - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2att.zip

Don't think the md5 part matters. Sounds to me like you're not wiping completely (/system specifically). Follow these steps and you should be good to go..
Wipe dalvik cache
/system
/data
cache.
DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE

Reason I asked is that I would suggest skipping the factory reset option, go in to advanced wipe and check all except internal storage.

CWM stuck trying to install ROM

OK. Tried to install CM11 on my phone today. Stupidly tried with ROM manager. The flash failed. I tried to go back to recovery but each time I boot to recovery CWM tries to flash the same ROM. So I couldn't get back into cwm to nandroid restore. Tried re-flashed cwm with Odin but still would try to install the ROM at recovery. Had to flash twrp clear everything re-flash my original ROM and titanium backup restore. Any ideas how I can stop cwm from trying to re-flash the problem ROM if I go back to cwm recovery??

Hi,
What phone variant do you have?
i9505 or i9505G?

Maybe you can find where the recovery script is located that CWM is trying to open? Then delete that file so CWM won't be able to take orders from it.

It's the i9505 but with the Google version of 4.4.2

That's what I was guessing but have no idea where this is stored. It's pretty low level so I'd be surprised if it was file based.
