Used this tool to flash the Buzz 1.51GHz Kernel. First off, congrats on such an easy to use tool for noobs like me. It's really simple and straightforward. However, I now have a problem with my wifi not working (just shows 'error' in wifi settings). I'm guessing this is because the module didn't apply properly? I've tried it a couple of times now with the same result...although I fully accept it could be stupidity on my part.

Further info:

I have root (permenant, via visionary+) and S-off (Eng HBoot installed) but not installed clockwork recovery yet.

I start the app, set my DHD to 'charge only', tick 'I understand the risks' and click next.

Browse to the file I downloaded for the Kernel (this one) and click 'next'.

click 'go to fastboot' (phone reboots in fastboot mode) click 'Flash' and something about 'writing zimage' flashes past. Click Next. (phone reboots)

When phone reboots I enter my PIN, unlock the phone and select 'charge only' for the USB connection (this isn't mentioned, but I figure it needs to be connected like this for the adb stuff to work) and press 'apply modules'. Something on my phone requests superuser access (not sure if this is just co-incidence or something the app is doing) so I allow it. Loads of messages flash past on my desktop (I assume this is applying the modules) and the app says 'modules pushed and applied'.

My wifi status shows 'error' so I try a reboot. Still shows error.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Same issue here, does not push the wifi module
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Strange, it does push it for me. I'll investigate. It may have something to do with root rights, does bcm4329.ko appear to your sdcard?
[Desire HD Android Development] Deicist:
Nope, doesn't appear in sdcard.

For further info I tried it with 0.3 as well, same result.

Also, none of the modules get pushed, it's not just the wifi one.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
My app removes the files from sdcard afterwards, so they might not be there anymore when you check it. I have now uploaded a new version with completely new SuperUser access code, also a lot of the code has been optimized.

This version works for me 100%, I just flashed from Apache14's kernel to kamma's kernel and back, wifi worked every time.

Also keep in mind that you should wait for the Android system to fully boot up before trying to push and apply the modules. So wait for "Usb debugging connected" and "Charge only" :)

Please give feedback!
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Nope, will not push wifi module, all phone settings are as per instructions
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Which rom are you on? Do you have HTC Sync 3.0 on your computer?

Try pushing modules manually as per Apache14's thread first post, if it works then the problem is propably in my tool, if it does not work, the problems is at your end.
[Desire HD Android Development] ringrover:
magic man ...

how r you ???

it is better to flash the kernel by yours tools than from the recovery ???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I am fine, thanks for asking. Well, some people have had bootloops when using CWM to flash kernels, so I prefer this way :)
[Desire HD Android Development] lampz:
agree mate :D

just keep updating thos kernel utilities! ^^

theres lots of rom coming this days :D so please hehe
[Desire HD Android Development] atticusmas:
XP!!

um xp... really? REALLY?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Windows XP, yep :)

Just get .NET framework and it will work.
[Desire HD Android Development] chardd23:
after flashing a kernel using this my wifi seems to have an error. i cant turn it on
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You applied modules too soon. You should be more patient, wait until system has fully booted up as it says in the instructions.
[Desire HD Android Development] chardd23:
i did not apply the module...is that the problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
yes.. you must apply it bcm4329.ko
[Desire HD Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
AMT will do that for you! Look in the dev forum.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
May it works on windows 7 x64??

I have and unhandle exception when I try to load the zip file.

Thanks mates.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It was developed on W7 x64, so yes it does work :)

Can you post the error here? Make sure that you have completely unzipped the app folder, and that you have both .NET 3.5 & 4.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Sure I will give me a few mins.....
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Here is it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEzi-186V78

Sorry for time, was busy :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Oh!! I forget it:

All ready installed NET 3,5 and 4.

Sorry about my lag to much work today ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay, the unzipper library that I am using seems to be fail. Are you sure that you have .NET 3.5 installed?

edit: ah, okay. Then can you try some other zipped kernel? Maybe your download is corrupt.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
I will.

A few minutes again... XDD
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Ok here is the new production:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9zRkDRhgC0

Soon in selected theatres. :)

Ty for your time mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hmm, it seems that new Catalyst drivers broke my flash support. So I cannot see your video :(

Could you try another PC? To make sure that your downloads are not corrupted.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Ok, i will.

Be care with new drivers and.... change to Nvidia mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
Well, you was right mate.

On my com at work it works fine.

But kernel was not flashed succesfully.

May be my noob com at home makes a noob flash at phone. ;)

Ok, thanks for your time.

Be happy.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay.. So how wasn't it flashed properly? Remember that you must have ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditronics:
I don´t know yet.

I already flash serveral DHD with diferent roms and them works fine.

Mine is different (S-OFF and bla, bla, bla) probably because I am checking things on it everyday.

No problem I will fully reset it start again from zero, that´s life.

Thanks again.
[Desire HD Android Development] dd4285:
Can this tool be use for flashing kernel on miui rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hmm, I cannot see why not :)
[Desire HD Android Development] dd4285:
Great.. thanx dude...

successfully flashed latest lee kernel :)
[Desire HD Android Development] vickyclewis:
Hi,

Is there a possibilty to boot into a Kernel using Kernel Manager? Instead of flashing. If not can it be integrated into Kernel Manager Pro? I'm asking this cause I want to flash a Kernel temporarily to use a HDD or Pendrive. As per the USB Hosting Thread once the kernel is updtd and rebooted it goes back to what it was.
[Desire HD Android Development] ufucunu:
Pls Help me,

sorry little english my kernel version lee 2.6.35 but my phone charge very low end bery bad orgınal kernel update download htcdev orgınal kernel bu .tar and kernel updater software dont support .tar where is the .zip kernel ? pls help
[Desire HD Android Development] stev32k:
I just tried using this utility to flash the HTC sensation stock kernel without success. I flashed Mike's 3.6.2 ROM and am having some GPS issues and wanted to try the stock kernel.

The utility appears to go all the way to the point of applying the kernel, but will not reboot. The phone has been stuck on htc splash (white screen with green "htc" letters) for over 15 minutes. I downloaded the kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16419842#post16419842

Do I need to wait longer - 15 minutes seems like a long time.

The phone is a T-Mobile US, HTC sensation 4G. I have S-off and successfully installed the Android Revolution 3.6.2 ROM and the recommended radio.

P.S. I waited over an hour then had to pull the battery and do a restore. Next I tried a different kernel with the same results. The phone gets stuck at the htc screen and will not boot up.
[Desire HD Android Development] mydanny:
Flashed the latest LeeDroid Kernel.

Now my wlan problems are gone i had with 6.1.5 arhd kernel.

but i have to add i tested the other recent remixed kernels: wifi error!

[Desire HD Android Development] wickedmanny:

hey mate, thank you for making flashing Kernels so god damm simple.

ur a legend.

Your other tools have also helped me to get ENG-off and s-Off in a flash
[Desire HD Android Development] meeru:
i just wanted to ask .. how do i know that a specific kernel is compatible with a ROM?

like leedroid kernel with runnydroid or smartdroid roms .

Thank You .

[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
absolutely no.

(or i'm wrong? anyway, DONT TRY!)
[Desire HD Android Development] wh4g:
Thanks! I asked because I was brought to the post after clicking on a link in the sensation forum.

delete this post please (mine) wrong thread
[Desire HD Android Development] slawomir123:
why should not work on sensation? in the Android Revolution HD thread ((http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849)) is written that it works (this is a rom for sensation) - "If you want to flash different custom kernel, you can do it easily using kernel Update Utility by jkoljo "??
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Leedroid 2.1, HTC Sync 3.0 is on the PC and yes manually pushing the module through adb works fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Please try the 0.5a version, it does things a bit differently :)
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
OK this version works, cheers.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I am glad it works now :)

Sorry for the trouble.
[Desire HD Android Development] Giloux1:

No success for me to flash a new kernel before.

Now it's easy and successful! Thanks!!!;)

[Desire HD Android Development] htctouchelfin:
Yes I also have problems with wi fi, but with realese no more :) tahnks for your awsome realese :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Rixsta:
I have to say a BIG thank you for this...before I flashed using CWM and it would go into a bootloop so I had to flash via fastboot...this works like a charm and has made flashing kernels so much easier...Im really happy..thanks !!
[Desire HD Android Development] Rixsta:
Just to confirm that pushing bcm4329.ko works 100% with this utility !!

Thanks again
[Desire HD Android Development] sanosuke1861:
Would you be so kind to tell me how you do it? I can not seem to get it to work.

I select the Kernel (Zimage) and the bcm4329.ko, let it go into fast boot, bootloader. Click on flash, after that, it tells me it was successfull.

Now it restarts, there is a button that tells me to apply the moduls. When should I press that button? (On boot up process or when entered Pin code?)

I have a feeling it tells me on my CMD that it fails, but I can't read it because its too fast ^^

Any help would be appreciated
[Desire HD Android Development] Rixsta:
Ive always used the CWM.zip file (buzz 1.5ghz 1.0.4 kernel....never used the fastboot kernel (zimage/bcm4329.ko)

Selected the zip file

put phone in fastboot mode

press flash

phone reboots..

wait until the phone is fully rebooted

apply modules..

Finish

Reboot phone..

Wifi + kernel now works fine..

If you cant get the bcm4329.ko to push then you can do it manually using root explorer...(very easy) ..£2.50 app but is very useful and its saved me so much grief..
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
As rixta said, you should wait until your system has completely booted up. There is no time limit in my app, so wait until your phone says "USB Debugging connected" and "charge only".
[Desire HD Android Development] sanosuke1861:
I did get it to work now using the root explorer. thx
[Desire HD Android Development] Rixsta:
opps forgot that bit :(

Your app is awesome !
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
V0.6 out!

Now that this tool seems to work well, I brought it out of beta stage. I also hid most of the cmd windows. This is not a bugfix release :)

Have fun!
[Desire HD Android Development] MariusOX:
Thanks a lot Jkoljo! For this Awesome, working flash tool!

It has worked on all my tries and no error with wifi, no bootloops or anything.

Btw, you know what i want in the final release as well=)
[Desire HD Android Development] Black1982:
Thank you for this great, very easy to use app! I just flashed Buzzz 1.05 with your app with no problems, where I failed to do so with CWM!

I should have tried this earlier!

I can recommend for all!
[Desire HD Android Development] vimto25:
Do I need to perm root my phone and s-off before I use this. Any reply would be most helpful as starting to feel like a parrot.

[Desire HD Android Development] paulus_01:
Nice job jkoljo, although I did not use it yet ;)

Just to test my understanding: is the app more or less issuing the adb commands you normally would enter yourself in cmd prompt?

In my case, both fastboot CWM and adb work perfectly ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, it does just that with some automated parts, and filesystem functions at windows side to unpack zip etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] paulus_01:
Ah, very useful utility you have created then ;)

Although I must say, probably I'll stick with issuing the commands myself so I can see exactly what is going on ;)

Will help a lot of people I am sure....great job!
[Desire HD Android Development] MariusOX:
I asked jkoljo about that yesterday, he wont make a version for linux:/

But could you test it in Wine?
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
anybody want to mirror this for me. cant get on mediafire/rapid etc links at uni.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Added as attachment to first post :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
Thanks alot. Is there anyway this can be adapted to flash whole ROMs? or is that a completely different kettle of fish?
[Desire HD Android Development] Kroutnuk:
I tried it this morning and it worked liked a charm.

Thank you very much !

Much easier than tiping the commands myself.:D
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
getting an error when trying to flash.

" AdbWinApi was not found"

any suggestions?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you have HTC Sync installed? USB Debugging enabled?

And it is possible to make this program flash roms, but flashing is more convenient in clockworkmod, which has been made for the job.
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
I have the HTC Sync drivers installed and usb debugging is enabled. It successfully boots the phone into flashboot, it fails when i press the flash button.

I'd disagree that it was more convenient to install ROMs via clockwork because i first have to transfer the ROM zip from my computer to my phone and then go through the procedure of installing via clockwork. If I could just hit flash on my computer and then the ROM be installed on my phone that would be a great deal easier.

EDIT : Reinstalled HTC Sync and still no joy.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
AdbWinApi.dll is included in the Kernel Update Utility folder, make sure you have extracted the whole folder.

Also try to copy AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to c:\windows\syswow64, if you are using 64bit system.
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
In my folder i have the following: adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and Kernal Update Utility 0.6.exe

Im using xp if that makes a difference.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Your usb drivers are propably broken. Try to install them again manually from the attached package.
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
If the drivers were broken would is still be able to put my phone into fastboot mode with the program?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, you never know with these kind of problems. Nobody else has reported the same problem you did, so the problem is in your computer, most propably the drivers. Try to google AdbWinApi, it seems that a few other people have got the same problem with adb that you have.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
i have the same problem 32bit winxp
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Using SP2? You both should try the manual fastboot method described in Apache's thread, to see if it works.

And hey, try to copy AdbWinApi and AdbWinUsbApi dll's to the system32 folder. I will start investigating this thing now.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
SP3

when its in the bootloader mode and i press flash it gives me an unhandled exception error

htc sync is working perfectly, how do i install the usb drivers?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ok. Did you try that manual fastboot flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
i have my HTC fastboot usb driver installed, here is the error log

i dont know how to manually install via fastboot can you point me to the thread? thx
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ok, so it does not find a system file. I just installed a XP to my old laptop, will test this thing..

I have fixed the XP problem. The cause was XP's way of handling application.startuppath variable in my code. I will make a fix for this tomorrow, but for now, everyone who is having problems with AdbWinApi or file not found, copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to Windows/System32 folder!

Please give feedback!
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
thanks it worked now and i was finally able to flash both Buzz v1.0.7 and 1.0.6 without bootloops

what is the cause of bootloops?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
CWM fails to unpack/repack the kernel according to Apache14.

I have now uploaded a new build 0.7, which should work out of the box with XP also.
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:

I flashed Buzz 1.07 (1.5ghz) on top of CyanogenMod RC1 using the your kernel update utility 0.7 (instead of CWM Recovery). Flawless. Thanks mate.

[Desire HD Android Development] maoten:
does it works on other devices? like Galaxy S?

thanks for your great effort
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You have to ask somebody if dhd and sgs respond to the same system remount command. If so, then it should work. Also keep in mind that not all CWM flashable zips have the same format, kernel itself should be in *.zip\kernel\zImage and modules in *.zip\system\lib\modules\

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

[Desire HD Android Development] eozen81:
Sorry for a rookie question here.

Lets assume that I want to use @Apache14's kernel here by flashing it with this tool.

If we download the zip file from this link there are these folders in it.

- system

- META-INF

- kernel

There is also an information saying that :

1) So from my understanding, to flash this kernel via our tool I should extract only two files from the zip file which are zImage and bcm4329.ko right?

2) I know that we should start with "Select a kernel" option and select the file zImage that we have extracted from the zip file, did I understand correctly?

3) If these 2 steps above is ok, why do we need to flash bcm4329.ko (I gues with "Add a module" option)?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] oldmanofskye:
Wrong. All you need to do, is to click on "Select a cwm zip" and choose downloaded zip.

If you are using HTC Stock rom, then download the "Sense" version of the kernel, otherwise the other one. Make sure you follow all the instruction and you will enjoy custom kernel in no time.
