That .ko module allows wifi to work with the new kernel, so if you want wifi, you need it.

No need to extract anything, just choose the downloaded cwm zip file in my app and go forward. Piece of cake :)
[Desire HD Android Development] eozen81:
Got it. Thanks a lot for clarifications guys.
[Desire HD Android Development] sHaHiN786:
Just follow the on-screen instructions and everything should work 100% One of the most superb & accurate developer on XDA. Great programs, great work!

Thank You

I found a bug:

If you load a CWM-file and close the utility WITHOUT flashing, it will leave the temp folder...

When you try to load the same file a second time it asks you wether to override the files or not.

Just delete your tempfolder while closing.

And maybe you could create that tempfolder in Windows tempfolder?

Without write access in program dir it will fail.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ok, I found the cause, will come up with a fix soon. Thanks for reporting.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I shot a video about flashing with this tool, check it out!

nvm, i really missed the part where i need S-off /delete post
[Desire HD Android Development] eozen81:
Here it is. You have rescued yourself probably much more questions further with this video:) thanks a lot and you should definetely edit this into your 1st message here.

Thanks again and again.

Hi,

Could someone be kind enough to further explain/advise me on the followings. I am fairly new to all these. I have successfully rooted my phone, S-off and running Leedroid v1.2 and am now thinking of flashing a custom kernel to my dhd.

1. Do I need to sync my phone with HTC sync before using the Kernel Update Utility?

2. Is a system reboot or a cache wipe necessary after successfully installing the kernel to my phone with the tool?

3. I am well aware that the tool accepts both zimage file and cw file, which is a more "comfortable" one (just wanna be sure)?

4. I have both .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and .NET Framework 4 Extended on my laptop, is this fulfilling one of the tool's requirements?

Would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on the above. Many thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] kurosawa79:
Can i flash this update tool if i am SHIP S-OFF? or do I need ENG?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Kshting:

1. Nope

2. Nope

3. CWM probably

4. They should. If the tool opens, you are good to go.

Kurosawa, yes, check first post. It is in the requirements.

Hi,

I downloaded Kernel Update Utility 0.7 last night and wanted to flash Kamma's v1.2 CW package (noUV) kernel on my phone but somehow I bumped into the following problems when using the tool. I am not a real tech kind of person but I try to be as careful as possible in doing all these. Please help.

1. I downloaded the tool and unzipped. I have HTC sync 3.0 on my pc, .NET 4.0 (as mentioned previously), charge mode and USB debugging enabled.

2. I selected the CW zip file, clicked on next and clicked on go to fastboot. As per your youtube guide, a window would quickly popped up and disappeared but mine just "stayed there" in the window's taskbar and eventually my phone got into fastboot mode. I remember seeing something like "adb not up to date" (please dont quote me, it disappeared before I could fully understand what it had displayed).

3. So I proceeded to clicked on flash but it said something like "image not found" and I have to end it and do a manual reboot on my phone. Would this caused any harm to my phone since it wasn't successful??

4. I attempted a second time and still the same and I watched your youtube a few times just to be sure and could more or less confirmed that something is not right. And also a Temp file appeared and I have to delete it before attempting the second time.

Has it anything to do with when I plugged in the USB cable, a window appeared saying "...disk not found...." and I clicked on Try Again to proceed? HTC sync icon appeared asking to disconnect. And it seemed like the tool's .exe file has a different date and time when compared to youtube, is this not the latest update?

I know I may not be making any sense to you but please I hope you could help. Worst come to worst, could I just flash the CW zip file in clockworkmode recovery which I am quite reluctant since I read quite a few encountered boot loops.

Many thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Try flashing a Buzz kernel using this tool, see if it works. If it does, Kamma has done something to his CW packages that has made them incompatible. This tool cannot really do any harm if it does not work.
[Desire HD Android Development] odin13:
hi jkoljo,

first of all thnx for the great tools! rooting my dhd really went very easy..

only thing is..i litterally followed the guide in the first post of your s-off too topic

and i forgot to check the option to set rw on my /system partition :o

do you know a way to set rw on /system ?

thnx in advance!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can still do it with Visionary, but it can also be done by:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
[Desire HD Android Development] odin13:
hmmzz...with root explorer i still can't set the /system/app folder to rw

i've tried to check the option in Visionairy and re-root but that didn't do anything...

also when i press 'Unroot Now' nothing happens
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You should ask this in the modaco Visionary thread, I do not know why Visionary would not work.
[Desire HD Android Development] odin13:
will do .. thnx enniewee
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
Hi jkoljo. im a real fan of your work. I used your tools to get eng s-off, and also radio s-off and now im thinking of using this to flash a new kernel. My only concern is whether i can flash a kernel if im still on stock rom. Can you only flash on a custom rom or also on the rom the phone was shipped with? And if something goes wrong, i can revert to before the flash using nandroid restore correct?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes it is possible to flash a kernel without custom rom. A nandroid backup will get you back to the stock one.
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
great to know.. thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Hi,

Is buzz v1.0.6 a cw file or zimage file (couldn't find it any where that said the file type)? I intend to flash this kernel.

After selecting a kernel in the tool, do I still need to add any modules if the above is a zimage file?

Thank you in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is zImage and a module. Just select them in my tool when it asks for them and you are good to go. No need to apply anything separately, the tool does everything for you.

e: Merry Christmas for you too!
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Ok ,many thanks. I will try tonight.

Merry Christmas!
[Desire HD Android Development] donvale:
Just to share something, I tried using the Kernel Update Utility yesterday to flash the Buzz OC Kernel. Followed the youtube video completely, but Wi-Fi had "error".

Tried both the Buzz OC 1.0.6 and 1.1.4 for sense. Both had such errors.

It was only when I flashed with CWM, everything fixed itself up.

Anyone faced such issues?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you have usb debugging enabled, did you keep screen on to see a possible su request? You aree the first one to report such problem. Did you choose a kernel module in the application, or did you use the cwm zip?
[Desire HD Android Development] y0.o!:
Hi

can you flash radio ing's with this tool? I want to flash the new 26.04.03.30_M radio to my desire HD.

I used your radio tool to get radio s-off :-). thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Sorry, this can only be used to flash kernels & apply kernel modules.

You will, by the way, also need ENG S-OFF if you want to flash radios (and kernels, too). I am glad you got successful Radio S-OFF :)
[Desire HD Android Development] y0.o!:
I've used all of your utils and they worked perfectly. I think I have ENG S-OFF as well.

I just wanted to use this tool as I can't get fastboot to work. the sdk manager doesn't load. I just get a load of errors and then it exits. also when I to fastboot flash radio radio.img I get some adbwindows.dll file missing (can't remember what it's called.

Its quite frustrating really, trying to get the sdk thing installed :/.

Ahh well, cheers any way.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hey, fastboot will probably work in the Kernel Update Utility folder. Just open a command window there and try it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] y0.o!:
Worked perfectly :-), thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe you could update your tool to to flash radio.img files? Just an idea :-D.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Maybe some day when I have too much time :)

I think I will make a separate tool for that.
[Desire HD Android Development] ringrover:
can you please tell me if i can flash kamma kernal with this utility >>>> becouse i tried but all the time give me this message ( there is no kernal )
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I made it for buzz, but I will investigate. You can at least extract zimage and modules (.ko files) from kammas zip, and enter them into my program manually for now.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mr. Kostik:
i had the same problem as ringrover. extracting the files from the fastboot-zip and adding them manually worked.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, I am working on a fix. People who want to flash Kamma's kernel have to do it manually for now.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay, a new version is up. Please give some feedback :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Caste23:
Hi jkoljo,

Do you plan to create a Radio update utlility ? :) ( if it's possible of course)

Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is possible, but I am not sure whether there is demand for it..
[Desire HD Android Development] Caste23:
+1 for me ! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] myksm:
Thanks ..

It is useful for me !!

I will enjoy it !!
[Desire HD Android Development] donvale:
hi, sorry that i took so long to reply. I have USB debugging enabled and saw the SU request. Did it exactly as the youtube video then and somehow the wifi saw errors. I used the CWM zip :)

if no one else faces the same problem maybe it's just some one-off thing. and thanks for the utility nevertheless!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Humm, strange issue, probably driver related. You could try reinstalling htc sync.
[Desire HD Android Development] ringrover:
it is work thanks indeed
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
can i use this tool if i only hv radio s-off but not eng s-off?
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
i gt bcm4329.ko inside system/lib/modules, but still gt wifi error, what should i do?
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
finally works for me, thanks for your tools bro
[Desire HD Android Development] daniello8:
Did I get this right .. that I can flash Custom ROMs (e.g. Android Revolution) with this and avoid boot loops?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nope, you can flash kernels with it and avoid bootloops :)
[Desire HD Android Development] daniello8:
Then I misinterpreted posting #5.

Thanks for the reply.
[Desire HD Android Development] Juevani:
Is there a mac version of this utility? thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Sorry, I do not have a mac to develop and test on, so unfortunately no :(
[Desire HD Android Development] Juevani:
Thank for the fast respond.. anybody with a mac and knowledge in development, please help us mac users get this great utility up and running?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Wrong thread sorry :D
[Desire HD Android Development] :
hi can some1 help. I flashed it buzz kernel 1.0.6, every step was smooth and correct. However, the kernel under the software information did not change while WiFi did not work anymore. What is the reason??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
xahshengx, do you have ENG S-OFF?

Check that in bootloader, read the first line.
[Desire HD Android Development] D3LTA:
This can also be used for the Normal HTC Desire, Correct?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I suppose so, I think nobody has tested it, but it should work if the CWM zip just has the correct structure. If it does not work, try selecting kernel and modules manually in the app.
[Desire HD Android Development] D3LTA:
Layout etc seems the same

See this example, take a look if you want

Maybe you can post it in the Desire Section of the forum also if structure is same.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes it seems good. Maybe you could try if it works, then I could post it to Desire forums when I have time.
[Desire HD Android Development] AKASHIK:
fastboot

Hi,

I have MDJ revolution 2.3 nand rom, MAGLDR 1.11, radio 2.15.

when I follow your intructions I do not have a fastboot option after clicking fastboot but a normal reboot through MAGLDR. So no way to use the flash option.

Should I use flash usb in MAGLDR ?

RGDS
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
This tool is made for HTC Desire HD, not HTC HD2. HD2 is originally a Windows Mobile phone, so it does not have proper fastboot capability.
[Desire HD Android Development] famonaco:
thxs good job, works with windows 7 ultimate???:D
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:

[Desire HD Android Development] Dolphin87:

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:

[Desire HD Android Development] P.I Boy:
it seems i can't flash LeeDroid v2.0.2 kernel using this utility...~
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Lee's kernels are flashed with Clockwork recovery - they're downloaded as flashable .zip files :)
[Desire HD Android Development] P.I Boy:
via clockwork recovery it's a bit difficult instead of this utility, is it..? and do you have a link to guide it.. =)
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
It's as easy as flashing a ROM. Boot to recovery, flash .zip from sdcard, choose .zip file to flash, reboot after flashing is done.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
This supports Buzz and Kamma kernels at the moment, I have to look at the structure of LeeDroid kernel to see if I can start supporting it, too.
[Desire HD Android Development] P.I Boy:
what..? as easy as ABC...? like flashing ROM only, meaning copy that particular kernel .zip into SDcard, boot CWM, choose .zip file etc etc...? damn i'm noobie.. thanx a bunch..~ :D

All right, now i understand.. :p good luck to you...~
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Exactly syuki, just like that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] P.I Boy:
hey, thanx tmh. DONE..~ ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] dena994:
Great job as always..;)
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hi, I know that it isn't the right thread but in the other thread I don't get any answer. So I ask here:

Can I use the current 1,22Ghz buzz kernel with the 1.72.405.3 stock Rom???

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes you can :)
[Desire HD Android Development] lukesky:
that'll be great! when trying to flash lee's kernels, I get a 'image not found' error or something like that..
[Desire HD Android Development] donvale:
lee's kernel is not supported yet. you can use CWM for it, but beware of bootloops. Do a nandroid backup before flash.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
I've flashed a handful of Lee's kernels so far, not a single bootloop. But yes, a backup before flashing stuff is always a good thing.
[Desire HD Android Development] Schiso:
how do i flash Lee's Nutter kernel v3? i tried to use the tool but it says Kernel not found. how do i know if my file is CWM Flashable zip format? idk that. please help!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you look a bit back, you can see that there is no support yet for lees kernels. I will start working on it when I have time.
[Desire HD Android Development] ice cool:
Wifi not working using latest version 20 of kamas kernel... anyone else with sthe same issue? it started with an error not being able to turn it neither off nor on. Now it turns on but although it suposedly is connected i can't get through to the internet...
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If the tool fails to push the modules (did you wait long enough?), it will say error. But then again, it will not fix itself, the error message will remain until you push modules properly. There is probably something wrong with the kernel, or you did some kind of a weird fix..
[Desire HD Android Development] ice cool:
I had to flash the kernel again and push the modules once again and then I was able to turn wifi on and off. The problem is that although I get a connection with full signal strength I'm not able to surf the web. Another problem I noticed meanwhile is that on the sms messages the image of the contact doesn't appear anymore (images associated with the contact, through facebook or manual added photos)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That pic issue is caused by something else than this tool, maybe a bug in the kernel or ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] ice cool:
Can be the kernel then. Only thing I changed was kamma's kernel from 19 to 20 using this tool.
[Desire HD Android Development] damien699:
SUperb tool. Nice work!! Cant possibly be made any easier.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay, I added support for Lee's kernels, have fun :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
On December15 the official froyo is getting released through OTA. If I update my phone which is rooted and has oclf lag fix will it soft brick and is there a way to update without getting soft bricked? How?

Don't comment saying install a froyo ROM I don'tlike roms and I will not use them at least not now.

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Research shows the update folder for root seems to be the culprit for ota brick. I suggest unroot your phone and install the ota. I've done it twice with no issues so far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1ftmfw:
This is a forum built around custom ROMs and such... if you want stock Rom questions why don't you go to t-mobile and ask about your lag fix and rooted phone questions.... moron...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaikey:
where did you got your information on the official froyo release date? Really wanted to know, since I couldn't find it online. You could always odin back to OTA I think.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Ouch... There are plenty of people here who run stock roms. I would assume he rooted for benefits like tethering, metamorph and many others like the lagfix. IMO It was a viable question worth answering.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
OTA is fine for rooted phones. The lag fix probably will be an issue.

I always wait for a developer to take the ota, enable root and make it a flashable zip.much better than ota in my opinion.

Not sure how you think you know the release date... You need to qualify that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeznart:
Wow, seriously.. the OP asked a legitimately question, why did u have to be rude like that? People with attitudes like u should go to the other forums.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
So you were born a genius on rooting android phones right ? Its been a few days since I first rooted give me a break. God.

Thanks guys according to what most of you said...

To be on the safe side I should undo the lagfix then unroot. Then do the ota I'm not comfortable with flashing new ROMS and stuff it gives me a feeling of Miscomfort maybe ill grow out of it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Oh and to someone who asked how I got the release date...

I asked a t mobile Rep. They told me the last ota update was the 1st part of froyo and the full is being released December 15 in the USA

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Ok tell me this. After posting a nonsense thread claiming a rep told you the ota for froyo was coming december 15 you really think he needs another thread asking people if should ota? The rep knows as much as this guy. So yea im with the harsh responses.

It's got a new band and pri. But if you're using the stock, it's probably not worth the hassle. However, if you're spring boarding it to use another Rom, then it's worth the time. I've had no issues with it running on the nightly.
