Any insight into what may have happened then? Because it was all there before I flashed the kernel, and then it was gone afterwards.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Did you do a data wipe or something? Did you install a new rom?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I actually had the same thing happen to me. Almost all my apps were missing one I installed the kernel. It was odd

[HTC Rezound] con247:
Fixed the issue. It was in the PH98IMG.zip it just happened to me also. Sorry guys! Files in 1st post are fixed!
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
complete noob!!!!!

CON247, you are a huge help with all this and I appreciate your work. Your step by step directions are helpful but sometimes still confusing for noobs. Are there step by step instructions for this that explains what each steps does and why it need to be done? I want to flash a kernel but I'm not sure how to perform all the steps listed here but wish to learn.

Even better knowing so much of this is being done by a fellow Wolverine fan.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Thanks Con. I knew it couldn't have been something I did...I've done my fair share of flashing and I hadn't done anything different, I just wanted to make sure it didn't happen to anyone without a copy of their files.
[HTC Rezound] liquidraven:
Thanks for the hard work on this, one question..what does boot into Hboot mean exaclty? this is not recovery right? is this remove the batter and hold down volume down and power boot thing?

thanks

nvm got it
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yessir. It will ask you if you want to update then you hit yes
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Just had my first issue with mismatching ROM and boot.img.... all the current roms are based on the original kernal, so if a user has flashed Ziggy's kernal then flashed over any of the existing rom's, functionality becomes lost (such as Wifi in my case). The fix is easy just flash Ziggy's kernal and not touching the boot.img in hboot, but this did cause some confusion.

Anyway, this is a great idea, and I believed it should be stickied (and the title changed from [idea] to [boot.img Standard] !!!!
[HTC Rezound] mxair2001:
Found this from your reply on the other post and followed these instructions. I happened to get my issue fixed and I am back up and running! Thanks!

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Just noticed that the Amon Ra recovery has an option under the Developer menu option to build a boot image from a zimage. Anyone tried that, and does it also fix the ramdisk files too?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
That would be awesome, but we can't flash the boot image from recovery. I have a newer version of this tool coming soon I think (assuming it works lol)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
New version up. It is really easy now. It is only a few clicks.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Thank you for making this a little easier. I used it flawlessly to try ziggy's kernel again

sent from my newly unlocked Rezound
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Are the instructions clear enough? I wish this would get stickied. People who keep flashing a boot.img from the stock roms on a custom rom will eventually boot loop.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I had a bootloop last night from flashing a Rom and not reflashing the kernel. I actually used the previous tool then too. Now I have a spare sd card with the stock kernel on it just in case and I am planning on keeping ziggy's on this card.

The instructions are easy enough to understand I'm not totally new to flashing though

[HTC Rezound] retepdgp:
The first two steps are throwing me off. Haha to me it seems as if you want two versions of the same Kernel.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes, basically. The zip from ziggy will flash the components that the kernel needs to function, but won't actually flash the kernel. My automatic zip does the actual kernel flash.
[HTC Rezound] bozidar0:
I think out of all the times I have flashed the Kernel, this is the first time I did it right. Every other time I seemed to only be doing half of the process, but looking under kernel you saw ziggys name, so I stopped at that. No wifi problems whatsoever! If you were having wifi problems it was not due to the ROM or the Kernel! It was due to how you flashed.
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
No luck flashing kernel here. Did you follow steps from op? What Rom r u running?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
Ok Just want to be sure before i do this, I can use this on the stock rom right?

Going to wait to flash other roms to see if we get s-off. ( I am unlocked)

But think I can benefit from ziggy's kernal now.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It works with any Rom. But just ignore step -1
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
Sweet thanks, One other question, not clear in instructions, do I reboot the phone after step 0 (flash the kernal zip) or go straight to flashing the flashthis zip?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It shouldn't matter, but I have never tested it with a reboot in between.
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
Ok done, did it with no reboot everything went smooth Thank you

Great tool made it easy :D
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I'm still getting the Wi-Fi error. Not even having the option for a new governor (lagfree) or the option to overclock to 1.8GHz, so I don't even think it flashed at all.

I flashed Ziggys kernel zip in AmonRA recovery, ran the script to build a flashable file (didn't change zImage because it's already using Ziggys), flashed flashthisimage.zip in recovery (created in the Automatic Kernel Installation folder (which I extracted)), took me to fastboot, went to bootloader, told it to update, then rebooted.

I'm on the stock ROM too.

I feel retarded not seeing the problem... Especially since it says it's extremely simple lol.

Any help trying to figure this out would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Ok not sure what I'm doing wrong. Flashed ziggy's kernel file in recovery, then flashed the flashme.zip from your tool, phone booted into hboot and flashed the zip, press power to reboot (which for me never reboots, I always have to press power button again to boot up). Still have the stock kernel. I'm also trying to do this on the stock ROM.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Go to settings>about phone>software information>more and post what the kernel version is
[HTC Rezound] Zoolu.Taylor:
Ziggy's kernel is definitely super-fast, but how do I go about reverting to original. Perhaps I did something wrong, but my battery life royally-sucks now.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
It still listed the htc kernel from Oct #144, but I got it installed via adb...dunno why that changed anything.
[HTC Rezound] afmracer6:
That's buttonwillow....good times
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
Does not work. Breaks wifi. Does not show new kernel in about info...

Cpu freq still same as before. I tried all the different methods and none of them work.

You might need to teamviewer me lol.

This sucks. This is so frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
At least I'm not the only one who hasn't figured this out lol...
[HTC Rezound] con247:
This is really strange that it works for some and not for others. Some things that I would like you guys to try for me to narrow down the bug (if there is one)

1)Make sure there isn't already a PH98IMG.zip on the SD card before this process starts

2)Make sure you flashed ziggy's kernel zip in recovery BEFORE flashing the one my .bat makes

3)Don't reboot in between the kernel zip flash and my zip's flash

4)Flash the PH zip attached to this post, then start from flashing ziggy's in my tutorial

If someone who has ADB installed and working with their rezound and is having trouble with this would like/allow me to teamviewer them, I will be available until 3AM central time. Send me a PM. Ill be available staring 1:30AM central time so send me a PM whenever between now and then and ill see whats going on.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
My god, success :D. The two things I did differently here was clear out the PH98IMG.zip I had on there from before and flash the PH98IMG.zip you provided before going through the whole process.

Thank you for your help!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Now did you flash the one I just sent you, then delete it, then use my tool?

In other words, was the one that I just uploaded removed from your card before you ran through my tool again?
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Yes, I deleted it off of my SD card after I flashed it, then ran the tool.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Lol.. since you did that I still don't have the issue narrowed down.

A. This only works if you have an unsecured boot.img to start with (which sort of defeats the purpose of this)

B. Doesn't overwrite a PH98IMG.zip if there was an existing one on the card.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Ouch lol... Hopefully droidel can chime in and help you narrow this down.

Thanks again for your help.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ill probably just look into it myself wednesday night. Rosebowl and Sugar Bowl (Go Blue!) parties take priority
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
That works too lol. Good luck! Also, I agree with said priorities :D fun then work lol.
[HTC Rezound] yardi4life:
If you are having problems with this try Amon-RA Recovery. I was using ClockworkMod with two different roms (bamf and mikmik) and none worked. Then I loaded Amon-RA, did the steps again and now WIFI is back (meaning it was broken after flashing with ClockworkMod) and I see SETCPU can go up to 1.83.

Thanks Con.
[HTC Rezound] Clamster:
Thanks for your work on this. It was easy and straight forward. Just flashed Ziggy's and everything is working properly.
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
Couldn't get this to work and I *think* I managed to get back to stock kernel.

One thing to note is it has to be the ext SD...I couldn't get it to build the boot zip when I had it "flash" from the internal SD.

EDIT: followed the "flash 500 files" method and got it to work. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
DSB over at Team BAMF just released an overclocked Kernel.
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
Same result. Wifi error. No kernel change. PM sent.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
replied to it :)
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I don't get it at all, I did everything and it still will not work.

I already had cleanROM so I skipped step 1.

I then rebooted into recover and flashed the z471-VIGOR-GB-CK3-CFS-122911-2139.zip file which it said was successful.

Then I ran the buildflashable.bat on my pc, got the flashme.zip it made and adb pushed it to my sd card and flashed that.

I went into bootloader pressed volume up for yes and it said it worked, but it didn't so I don't understand what went wrong at all.

Any help?
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
I don't think u can have reboots between the recovery flash and the hboot flash, try doing it that way and see what happens.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I didn't.

The only way I know to put the flashme.zip file on the phone without rebooting it was to adb push it while the phone was still in recovery.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Hmm...I'm not sure then. I know the instal setup that dsb did for his kernel worked perfectly...which is basically the same thing.
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
Follow THIS

Then reboot, remove the PH98IMG and follow the original instructions
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Please excuse this if it is a dumb question... But I have my phone unlocked and rooted. All bloat has been removed, Sense has been removed and the phone is running rock solid. No issues, Beats Audio still works, battery life is good, etc...

I have not seen a ROM that is enough of an advantage to get me to take the time and effort(and risk of hosing something) to flash it, but what about this Ziggy kernel?

What is the benefit of that, and can I just flash the kernel with the rooted/de-bloated/de-Sensed stock ROM that I am running and pretty happy with?

I am happy with how the phone runs, but if the benefit is substantial, I will give it a try. I like to tinker, but what I don't want to do is mess something up, or spend hours of my time for something that isn't really any better than what I have now, or might have annoying bugs, etc...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
SquireSCA, I'm a tinkerer too but I'm not seeing a true benefit to the available kernels. Overclocking 300mhz and slightly undervolting are not big enough for me to bother with yet. If you're going in for it, just remember to backup first.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
How to I put the flashme.zip on my phone without rebooting or do I reboot, put the phone in storage mode and put it on there?
[HTC Rezound] PokerMunkee:
Does this kernel have TUN compiled into it?

I want to get OpenVPN working, just like on my rooted DInc.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I did backup, and when I did a restore(Nandroid) it didn't overwrite the Ziggy kernel.

Seeing how many people are having issues, it just seems like a fail. Just being able to brag that you overclocked a phone to 1.8Ghz doesn't seem worth the hassle.

Had to RUU completely back to stock and start all over. No more kernels for me.

I ran a ton of ROMs on the DX and the TBolt. The only one that was ever worth the trouble was CM7. Of the dozen or so I tried, all but CM7 had more bugs, more glitches, and were more of hassle than they were worth. If you are a tinkerer and like to spend hours a day working on the phone and don't mind all the issues, they are great. For anyone just wanting a working phone, most of the ROMs cause more issues than they ever solve.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am trying to look into the issues that people are having. If someone who is on the STOCK kernel currently (even if your wifi is broken, doesn't matter) please run the flashable zip created by the .bat file and then send me the PH98IMG.zip it creates. (Please use amon ra recovery)
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
For you guys (like me) who were getting boot-loops or random lockups with Ziggy's kernel, this one works awesome, is OC'd, has all the governors and has NOT locked up once. Ziggy's locked up on me quite a few times per day and boot-looped once.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Had that kernel do the same thing on me this morning as well. Charging over night, woke up to my phone burning hot and locked up on boot graphics. Unplugged charger to see it just boot loop. I'm back to stock kernel now until some of this stuff gets figured out.
[HTC Rezound] bdaman80:
Does anybody know if this with other devices?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I can add compatibility for other devices if you PM me and will get some info for me from your device.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Con - could you possibly post steps for returning to the stock kernel, just in case anyone needs to do that? I nabbed the rooted stock ROM from from Scrosler's site, I'm assuming I could pull the boot.img from that and use it some how... I don't anticipate any problems with Ziggy's kernel, but you never know. If I can't use the boot.img from the stock ROM.zip, where can we get the stock zImage or what other method can we revert to the stock kernel without completely RUU'ing back to stock or anything like that?

EDIT: Can I take the PH98IMG.zip that your flashthisimage.zip creates, remove boot.img from there and replace it with boot.img from the stock ROM, then flash this PH98IMG.zip from Fastboot?

EDIT again: hmmm well I followed the steps exactly from the first post (flashed the kernel's zip in recovery, than flashed the flashthisimage.zip, then PH98IMG in Fastboot), everything worked as expected/described, but I still seem to have the stock kernel. Except now my wifi is borked like so many others...
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am trying to figure out the issues others are having. I have reflashed the stock kernel/libs and started from step one. It worked without issue.

Could you please upload the PH98IMG.zip my script created? I would like to analyze it.

Also, have you made sure you didn't have a PH98IMG.zip on the sd card when you started?

If you can let me teamviewer you now I would like to take a look at your phone remotely, with your permission of course. PM me if you want to.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Here is the PH98IMG.zip that flashthisimg.zip created. I'm trying to use this to "create" a stock kernel by dropping in the stock boot.img and /system/lib/modules/bcrm49ko from the stock rom... trying to get wifi working again, I'll be surprised if it works...

EDIT: LOL nope didn't do squat :p Wifis still not working. Hey at least it didn't brick or bootloop! Next I'm trying to delete the bcrm49ko and replace just that with the same file from the stock ROM...

FINAL EDIT: Yes, nabbing the bcrm49ko file from the stock rom and dropping this in to /system/lib/modules via Root Explorer, then rebooting, fixed wifi.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Interesting. The boot.img it created does not seem to be valid. Have you flashed ANY boot.img's in the past?

Can you try to flash the attached PH98IMG.zip, reboot, delete it from the sd card, then rerun my scripts? If it works then, I know what the issue is.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Nope, yours was the first attempt I made at flashing the kernel/boot.img. Unfortunately, I am out of time as I have to head to work in 30 mins. If it's slow at work I can try out the PB.zip you posted a bit later. Either way, no harm done, I got wifi working again and phone works normally.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ok. Just let me know. I believe that will fix it for you. If it does, ill just add that as step -2 or something
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
Had the same problem, Followed all instructions to a "t" throughout the thread post#1, #39, etc no luck, but now this last post worked on the second try.

Dont know if that helps but thanks I now have the correct kernel and wifi is working.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Apparently abootimg does not like signed boot images. That PH98IMG.zip that fixes your issues is an unsigned stock boot image. This seems to only be a problem if you are trying to flash a kernel over the stock boot.img. This problem will not occur if you attempt to use my installer with a rom that uses a custom boot.img which is the intent of the program.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I have been up since 6am(had to drive to Indy for a damn VA appointment... sigh), so I may just be delusional right now. Anyways, I literally just read this thread from OP to bottom Con. I am lost in the sauce bro. Do we need to keep the kernel in the zip when it is flashed onto the device? If so, when we use your tool does a copy need to be saved in the PC, or can we extract the zimage and place it where you stated and not even flash that with the full zip?

I don't want to be a PITA, but possibly elaborate in the OP? I came from a dumb phone, AKA Motorola, lol. So I am not familiar with half of the terminology being thrown around. Not to mention I am roming it up on my GF Nexus at the same time.

Thanks bro! BTW, how was the celebration this week? Or is it still coming this weekend? GO BLUE!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
When I have more time I will attempt to rewrite the instructions. I have tried to make them as basic as possible. You don't need to understand what you are doing, as long as you are doing it correctly. Since this program is relatively complex in the sheer number of things it does to get you a working boot image. I know it is a bit confusing now as I made this in the last few days of my winter break and I am already back starting classes. I pretty much finished the final version of this the day before I went back to school and haven't had much time to do the user support half of the work.

I will try to get around to it this weekend.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Cool cool man, much appreciated. Not sure if you saw the thread I posted in the General forum about maybe getting some continuity in the way the kernals are flashed. Check it out, give me some feedback. I would be more than happy to help out and see what we can come up with. I am currently attempting my first kernal, but for the Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I may have found a solution to it not working for some people. I am currently testing now.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Awesome man.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Well I finished testing it. I am uploading now. It uses a different way to rebuild the boot image based on koush's anykernel updater.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Sweet, I will check it out Sunday night or Monday. I have to go to Grissom Aeroplex 2 hours away at 5am tomorrow, then come all the way back home, then go back down Sunday morning 5am. Might pick up a job with DOD or the VA ;)
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
If you are having wifi issues after a rom change or update, reflash the flashme file. it fixes it. Had the issue with ziggy's for a second before i read the first post of this regarding the wifi module.
[HTC Rezound] CyanideJack:
Ok, dumb question time: Does this only work with the Rezound, or will this work with my Incredible S?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I wouldn't apply a kernel that wasn't developed with your device in mind. You can try but you can also do some damage. So if you really want to try, as the dev to compile with your phone's source.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It won't. You guys have S-OFF though right?
[HTC Rezound] CyanideJack:
S-off is possible for my device, yes. However I unlocked my bootloader via the HTC unlock methods, so I'm currently stuck on S-on, hence why I thought I'd check whether this would work with my device. Obviously I'd use a kernel made for my phone/ROM. Therefore, to clarify: are you saying this won't work with the IncS?
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
Is there a way to make PH98 zip flashable in the bootloader

FROM a boot.img?

Does the boot.img carry a mainver text file?

If I flash an ICS boot.img, then attempt to go back to Stock (after restoring a nandroid backup, then reflashing the original kernel), am I going to get a mainver error?

I want to use this tool, but don't have a zImage, just a boot.img
[HTC Rezound] con247:
download the program 7zip. Then take an android-info.txt from another PH98IMG.zip. Just zip the android-info.txt and the boot.img you want together in zip format with compression set on "Store"
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
First off, sorry for my noobness. This is my first HTC device, I just got it yesterday. I am not an android noob, I had the D1 for 2 years and compiled many things for personal use. I got the bionic in november and since then was very frustrated, so I fell off. I eventually got verizon to trade my bionic for this phone with an unlockable boot loader. I am once again happy with android. Long story longer, Lastnight I flashed the ICS leak and kernel. I had success in reverting it back to android 2.3 with some kernel I found on this site. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21442702&postcount=3. Trying to flash an OC kernel now gives me an error about it being an older version, and it won't flash.

How do I get my phone to flash a kernel with an older mainversion. Can I push an older kernel version from my pc console?

[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this easy script. I was having problems with fastboot command, but your zip made it SOOOOO easy to hboot the boot.img. I can't thank you enough. I will seriously donate. Thanks Con247. Also hit the thanks.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am glad it worked as intended! Thank you for the PM.
[HTC Rezound] diamond jinx:
I'm still rather new to this but I was able to overclock awhile back with the autoinstaller. Now when I click that link its gone. How in earth do I use these two files provided? Are they to be flashed in recovery or do I need a installer for these?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I have discontinued support for this because S-OFF is available. There are directions in the OP. This was mainly for use by ROM developers.
[HTC Rezound] diamond jinx:
Thanks con247. I love your work by the way. I did manage to overclock my rezound again.

Glad you got it figured out. I am going to lock this thread now.
