[warning] Don't rush for new kernels

[Sheepdog Elite]

Figured I would throw it out there since we have numerous new rooters here.

Unless you are confident you can recover don't flash new kernels without reading post about them. There are so many things that can go wrong it's not even funny. Wait a little while for some of the kernels to get ironed out. JT's kernel seems to be the most stable currently.

Thankfully i did not dive in on those other modded kernels soon after. I was a lil hesitant at first when JT's came out but I flashed away knowing Adrynalyne's kernel used it as a base.

Could not agree more. Thanks Sheepdog Elite.

There are updates to imnuts (voodoo and non-voodoo) kernels this morning - flash cautiously. Root remains intact, but boot sound is no longer there and reports are trickling in that the phone may not sleep when it is idle.

Sheepdog is running JT's kernel, (& Landshark is also) and I have been running times_infinity's (ComaVolt) non-voodoo. - no issues to report.. appears stable.

There will be more additions/updates to the available kernels. Please do research on the kernel by reading posts and be cautious before jumping in.

Agree completely! I have only tried Adry's Kernel_Update and JT's 0327-2. From all I have read, they seem to be the most stable as of right now.

I can say that times_infinity's ComaVolt voodoo is running stable for me so far. I also ran JT's for a while at it worked fine.

You can loose audio recording if you use voodoo sound though. So make sure to go into Voodoo Control and set "Recording Preset" to "Original". Until it gets ironed out. I missed out on a cool video at a concert because I didn't know about this bug until after.

I now have a bluetooth pacemaker that's running from my phone. So if I flash a bad kernel, I could literally die. This kernel tomfoolery is all fun and games till someone drops dead! :'(

I'm running Adry's voodoo Kernel as well, and everything is working perfectly, no issues so far

Sorry I didn't update, I'm running adrynalyne's kernel. I wanted to try the further undervolted one. It loses battery life quickly right off charge, but then levels off. No problems to report with it. I will try times_infinity's comavolt next.

Says the guy who's married so he doesn't spend as much time unbricking peoples phones. Lol. Welcome kiddies, to the gunner mike "hold my beer and watch this!" school of flashing.

The line: "I saw this in a cartoon once, hang on!" is usually preceded by alcohol consumption as well. Coincidence? Methinks not.

I also recommend never doing nandroids too. They take too long.

I use titanium backup exclusively. Lets me slip all of my stuff back into whatever rom I decide to build. I've had roms go bad that made me decide to just flash something totally new It's fun, if you're sure you can get everything back up and running.

Besides taking too long, we also can't restore themed nandroid backups right now. Check out my thread in the rooting, roms, and hacks section.

I actually switched to My Backup Pro over TiB, It's faster and simpler imo
