How to flash a kernel? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I just wanted to know how do I flash a kernel? I'm on an aosp ROM and wanted to flash a kernel before I applied an update to the ROM. Thanks!

If you don't know how to flash a kernel I don't know how you were able to install a ROM as its nearly the same process.

Yea you just flash it in recovery then typically wipe Cache/Dalvic afterwards. However if you're flashing a ROM update you're going to want to flash the kernel after that since ROMs contain their own kernel that would just wipe out the one you flashed prior.

Kernels don't. Some roms, probably most, do. But it dosen't matter. They don't affect your network or phone.

How did you flash a Verizon rom? What are the troubles that you ran into?
You can flash any carriers roms. Just have to use a sprint kernel. Think the the only s4 roms u cant flash is the i9500. I flashed omega from i9505 s4 n boots fine. You will most likely have data issues and im not sure how to fix. Also there was an update 2 the international s4, not really sure how that plays into compatibility for us.

you're still going to have data issues. I read something about modifying apn, but I don't personally have experience with that.

OK I just tried flashing and I ran into a boot loop. I'm gonna try again later today if anyone wants to try it out and share there outcomes here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650
I'm thinking trying a different kernel but we'll see...
Try a touchwiz kernel and make sure the rom doesn't have a modem file. It will say in the description of the ROM.

What if I wanted to flash the Miui V5 Rom in the link, how would I do that just flash an AOSP kernel after the rom?
Then just flash a aosp kernel. After applying the ROM.

As long as you wipe data and cache after flashing the ROM then flash a sph l720 aosp kernel.

Galaxy s4 help

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it
Ok thanks i just got my s4 like 2 days ago lol i love it its so much better than the s3

If you cannot get to recovery, you should consider doing more research before rooting or any other modding. How would you fix your device should you soft brick it?
Turn off your device, hold down volume up, volume down and power. The menu will come up and then select recovery.
As for kernel... On your phone go to settings and then about phone.

I suspect that recovery.img flash failed during last step of hydrogen peroxide root.
If flash failed completely, you would have older kernel used for rooting, that is flashed over recovery, after rooting recovery is flashed over older kernel.
If you can't get to recovery using instructions posted ubove, I suggest redownloading hydrogen peroxide and go through the steps again.

Thank you, I will replace the battery by Wednesday and see if it makes a difference.

I think its just a bad battery.
Reinstall the ROM, or just kill everything running In the backgorund
Thanks guys, I bought a new battery and everything is working great. And am feeling the use of xposed and modules available.
