thinking of trying a kernel flash for the first time and wondering if i can use rom manager to flash it, if not what is recommended? if different steps can you post a link. Thanks guys.
First you need to put kernel on your sdcard by connecting you phone to computer by usb cord or another way is to download with your phones browser.
If you hook phone to computer you have to make sure the connection is selected to connect by disk drive instead of charge only .
place the kernel on the root of your sd card ( not in any folder)
If you download with your phone's browser it will be found in the "download folder" on your sd card.
if you use your phone's browser to download you need to make sure you have check :"unknown sources" so it will download without getting an error.To get to this its : Menu button>settings>applications> and make sure unknown sources box is ticked.
Next you need to get to Hboot
power phone down
Next when you power phone back up hold down volume rocker and power button at sametime
this take you to Hboot
use volume rocker to scroll to Recovery then press power button(to execute)
this take you to Clockwork Mod Recovery
use volume rocker to scroll to wipe cache partition
NOW instead of using power button to execute use trackpad to execute
wipe cache
scroll to advance Advance, puch trackpad to execute
scroll to wipe dalvik cache, again push trackpad to execute
Now push power button to go back a page
scroll to install zip from sdcard, execute by pushing trackpad
scroll to choose zip from sdcard
Depending how you put kernel on your phone depends on where the kernel is at if you hook to computer just scroll down til you see the kernel it wil probably last in the list of stuff showing.Once you find the kernel execute by pressing track pad.Then reboot you may need to press power button to go back to a page til tou see reboot your phone as an option to select
If you install kernel by using your phone's browser it will be in the "download folder" just scroll to you see this folder in the list push trackpad to open folder and you will see kernel, and install by pressng trackpad, then reboot phone
Main thing to remember is when you are in Clockwork Mod you use the trackpad instead of power button to execute
hope i was clear enough , ask questions if you need more answers or if I confused ya
