How To Install DoomKernel

Hey clever guys on XDADevelopers,
I want to know how to install doomkernel for the xperia play. But I have no clue what this fastboot exe and drivers are. My Xperia Play has got an unlocked bootloader and is run 0.42 baseband which is rooted. I want to install 0.62 baseband then install doomkernel but dont know how to to.
Thanks in advance,
zeshansajid

Use the command window that you used to unlock the bootloader.
Download dooms Kernal and rename it from. ??version?? .img to boot.img for ease, place that file in the fastboot folder that is on your pc from unlocking.
Now type this code into command window with the device unplugged.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It will then say waiting for device. Now connect device holding search button it will then flash doom Kernal
When ok type
fastboot reboot
Your device will now boot up with doomkernal, recovery and pre-root installed.
You will need to install the modules.zip in recovery (doomkernal press back key when booting) to get WiFi working on the Rom you choose to flash if you do install one that is.
Hope this helps don't forget to say thanks

1. unzip the folder
2. place file in C:\Flashtool folder
3. startup flahtool, click the "thunder bolt" icon, and then click fastboot mode
4. click "select kernel to flash"
5. you should then see the desired kernel you have placed in flashtool folder from step 2 click on it then click "ok"
6. it will flash in about 2 point something seconds
7. read the log when its done then click on the "thunder bolt" icon again and select fastboot mode
8. click "reboot device into system"

Download the zip file for that rom, place in sd card boot into recovery, depending on what rom you are flashing, you might have to wipe data. Then just flash it using CWM

Is there any actual reason to use DoomKernel except for overclocking? Does it have any other advantages, performance- or featurewise?

Before you select 'select kernel to flash'
You must first reboot into fastboot via ADB.

wifi issues
Ok so I know that im a bit late with this but I just flashed doomkernel v14 with modules and now can't get my xperia plat r800at to connect to the Wi-Fi. When I try to c onnect it tries to aquire ip and then just continues scanning. This is a continuous loop. I tried deleting the cache and data along with a factory reset trying to fix this with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] no working rom; acces to SD from bootloader?

I have tried to install CM9 to my One X, but appearantly something went wrong (after installing it tries to boot, but doesn't pass the nicely done/animated 'loading' screen).
is there a way to acces the SD-card from the bootloader (which still works, unlocked etc). So i can copy over the .zip again incase that was faulty.
Also; when going into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots the phone (go into CM9 again). so that wont work :/
any thoughts?
edit1:
oh yeah:
C:\Users\username\Desktop\HTC\onexroot>fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-end
eavoru.img'
wut? ^^

try using fastboot erase cache first
might fix everything
this command is wrong
C:\Users\username\Desktop\HTC\onexroot>fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
it should be fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
and you can use adb push to send files to your phone

Yeah, noticed the command was wrong. Fixed that, got a working recovery now.
However, clearing the cache didn't fix the issue. My 'guess' is that the CM9 .zip is just faulty.
Ill look into that adb push thing now, to find out how to push the img to the phone.
TY so far

might want to check the md5sum of the file you downloaded
it used to give me trouble back then. Some internet issues corrupted the file.
Hmm, btw, did you flash the kernel?
I mean the cm9 specific kernel?

My guess is i did not flash the kernel
im still quite new to all this, have rooted/custom rommed my desire before; but that was all 1 click
How does one update the kernel and what is the main purpose?

U need to extract file "boot.img" from the rom ZIP. put it in your fastboot folder.
Then use fastboot Command:
'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
erase Cache recommended before first boot
Edit: oh yeah ... and the purpose is, that the Rom needs the appropriate kernel to run. Its like the heart of the System.

devs are usually supplying both the rom and the kernel for the hox.
There is an issue that prevents the kernel to be flashed from CWR so you have to flash it yourself.
use flashboot boot kernel name.img on fastboot
kernel is the bridge between hardware and software or something like that

The issue is caused by the device being s-on.
The command is fastboot flash boot boot.IMG after do fastboot erase cache.
But yes the kernel sits between applications and hardware.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Fixed the problem
i DID update the kernel; so that was fine (just didn't know the boot.img was in fact the kernel)
Fixed the recovery after which i could access the SDcard to update the CM9 zip file.
This time it installed fine and despite some known bugs seems to do the trick.
Ty for all your help really needed a push in the right direction ^^

How to flash a custom kernel

Hi guys, I am stock rooted and want to flash latest xm kernel 115 on my phone. I downloaded the repacked boot image for my Rom but don't know what to do now, can someone guide me through the process
Can someone also tell me what the smartmax govenor does and how it compares to interactive, which is better for gaming and which for battery life. Finally I presume deadline is the best schedular for perfomance, am I right?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

For flash the kernel:
1) Copy the modules into sd card
2) reboot in recovery
3) Flash modules
4) Return on recovery home
5) With prompt write: "adb reboot bootloader"
6) Erase cache: "fastboot erase cache"
7) Flash the kernel "fastboot flash boot name_of_kernel.img
8) Erase cache
9) Use "fastboot reboot"
10) Enjoy
Smartmax is the best governor for battery life.
Performance for gaming

Thanks mate. I assume the modules are the kernel zip folder. What do I so with the boot Img that is already in the zip folder thanks for your help

Mate,
That's Ok since we don't have S-OFF the boot.img in Kernel zip will not flash through recovery it will only flash the modules. So you can flash the repacked boot.img then reboot to recovery and flash the Kernal.zip. Then wipe cache and reboot.

Actually it doesnt matter, but i always prefer to flash the boot.img first and then i install the modules .....dont ask me why

And I do the opposite

If you use CWM, it makes sense to flash boot first 'cause hboot has direct linking to recovery. If you flashed modules first, you would have to boot to bootloader the "hard" way.

It makes me feel safer to know that
Fastboot erase cache
is the last command i use before rebooting the phone.
And step 6 is not required.

Well either way....it works. And its not so difficult when you install the modules first....then open the fastboot command window and type
Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img and reboot
TT did you ment with the hard way by holding the buttons ? If so....its not needed
Edit : like guich said already ....

Thanks for you helps guys, I may do it do boot img first just as it seems simpler

Yeah, sorry but not really what I meant by step-by-step. Sorry to bother you but I really don't get this stuff.
The instructions there say:
1. get hellboy kernel cm10 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1954967
2. Boot into bootloader
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot erase cache
3. Boot into recovery - select install zip from sd card..then selct miuiv4.zip
after that reboot again into recovery flash gapps
I do know how to get in recovery, did it before (a year ago), select fastboot, but my computer doesn't do it. I can type fastboot devices but the computer doesn't recognize it. Do I need a program for that?
Also it says: note-fulll wipe is recommended if coming from any rom or else ul get stuck in boot loop. Is this prior to installing the updated ROM or afterwards? Because it is stated afterwards. I also read the WIKI but to me it looks like this is meant for people doing it for the first time, not an update.
Anyways:
I'm not super stupid, managed pretty well last time but I don't get the differences and don't want to mess up my device. I would love some help

[Q] Will installing new ROM wipe X-Parts CWM?

Hi, question: I failed time and again to get CWM working, but finally got it to work using x-parts. However, x-parts is keen to point out that it is not a fully fledged recovery and that "if you wipe the system partition for any reason, it will be gone!".
Does this not mean that if I boot into recovery and install a new ROM (Going for the FXP CM10 one, if it matters), then when I wipe the phone beforehand I'll also wipe my CWM install, thus completely bricking the device? Would appreciate any thoughts, thanks

Yes, if you wipe the system partition there will be no more CWM. For CM10, you need to flash a custom kernel for it to work. This custom kernel will usually come with a CWM recovery so it will not be wiped when you flash a new ROM.

Thanks. But, to clarify, once I flash new CM10/Jellybean Kernel, my current Gingerbread install will also completely cease to function right? And I'd need to flash back to something earlier to get it to work, if I so desired?

Is your bootloader unlocked?
And yes you will have to flash GB ftf using flashtool
Sent from my LT18i

Yeah, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it ages ago, but have since neglected actually updating the ROM, decided I can't live in a GB world anymore though.
So, as I understand it, process would be flash a new GB kernel to get CWM > Wipe Everything > Install the relevant ROM and GApps > Done? Does this ROM installation include the update to JB kernel then? Thanks

If I am not mistaken the kernel boot img should be inside the ROM zip. Check the ROM zip. Just flash the boot img using fastboot, boot into CWM recovery and flash ROM & gapps.

Ah, ok, well this brings me full circle. Because I'm trying to follow the boot instructions to do so, but:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
doesn't work. I've taken the boot.img out of the ROM, and put it in the platform-tools folder. But whenever I try this line, it says it can't boot it, and quotes "no error" (no longer at home so can't quote the exact error, but it's something like that). I assumed the problem was me lacking CWM, hence was trying to install that first. Fastboot devices DOES show the device, and both fastboot and adb commands work in a terminal, but I just can't get it to boot into the ROM recovery for Cyanogenmod. Driving my crazy! Thanks

I've got the right boot.img in my platform-fools folder, the relevant CM build on my SD Root along with GApps. Drivers are definitely installed correctly as fastboot devices shows the device, as do adb command when it's on - anyone got any suggestions?
