[Resolved]Can you use Clockworkmod recovery to flash a kernel instead of Odin? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Coming from a mytouch 4g, I'm not too up to speed on flashing my t989.
I have the stock tmobile jellybean rom on here, and I'm trying to flash the Team Infamous Kernel.
So since I have Clockworkmod Recovery on here, can I just flash the kernel .zip and call it a day?

Short answer yes.
Long answer make sure you're on the latest cwm. Also if it is an Odin package then no. But I'm sure its a flashable zip so yeah. Should be good.
Also make sure its for uvmc6 and not aosp/older firmwares.

Thanks, this is the kernel I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645985
It says: T989UVMC6 Offical 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
ARC KERNELâ„¢ by default
So I guess i'm ok?

Infamous s2 isn't a kernel, its an entire ROM. The arc kernel is the kernel included. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset and cache before you install the ROM. Now there may be an arc kernel exclusive. But I don't know

Sorry, should have mentioned that if you scroll down a bit they offer links for just the kernel and state it works with all TW JB roms as well as stock rom.

Then you should be fine. Just follow the typical steps. You don't really have to wipe anything, just make a backup just in case

Go get TWRP, its more frequently updated and has better flashing scripts, better wipe capability, and above all, its all touch screen, no more button presses lol, I guess its all preference though

+1; twrp is the way to go. But if you want, you can use cwm. But honestly twrp is much better once you get used to it.

Clockwork touch is more polished IMO, since I've used both, I like the file browser on TWRP though, my only reason for sticking with CWM is because all my nandroids are in that format.

[Q] Kernel question.

I'm going to replace my T989's stock ROM with Jugg 5.0.
How do I go about replacing the stock Kernel with Mr. X's Synergy. Only reason I want that Kernel is to have the flashing capacitive buttons for notification purposes...
Do you recommend these two together? Is that possible (since the Kernel is based off Jugg)?
I know how to install the ROM...just not the Kernel.
Also, what is the purpose of replacing the "stock modem?"
Thank you!
my two cent
Edit::: yes you can have Synergy kernel and Juggernaut 's
Rushing said:
Juggernaut 5.0 install directions state that you shouldn't flash something over Jugg 5.0 unless it is states that you can but it doesn't say that you can flash anything over it so no. The rom is fine without a different kernel. Thanks to Team Kang for Juggernaut. You wont need to replace the modem just flash the rom you probably already have so dont fu*k it up here is what I read
"Wanna flash something over this rom? Does it say it will work with this rom? No? and you flashed it anyways??? *sigh* WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Correect me if I'm wrong thanks

CM10/Kernal question

Hi, and thanks to whoever takes the time to help out,
I would like to make the jump to PhantomPhreak53 CM10, and i am currently using a GB rooted ROM nothing special, and i'd like to know which kernel to download from Chris41g's list of kernels, he has so many and all have similar/different names, Please Help
Those kernels are only for cm9. Won't work with cm10. Just use the one that's packaged with the rom.

I was curious because he specifically said to make sure to have a safe kernel and then links to the page so i assumed he intended for Chris41g's kernel to be what he had in mind for flashing his ROM, so your basically saying, i'm good to go without installing a kernel for good measure ?
No off you want a safe kernel download el29 direct boot and install it via Odin and then use that to flash cm10.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
All GB Kernels are inherently safe so flash away. The new Kernel will be installed as part of the new Rom install

El29 direct boot was made specifically for flashing ics based roms. You can find it on the epic touch cm9 blog. Just do a Google search for it.

Radio options??!???

I'm coming from cm10 and I'm going to flash zedomaxs high on android rom and I read I needed a stock modem to go along with it since it's basically a stock rom and there's so many which do I chose since coming from cm10??? Any help appreciated
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.
If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.

[ROM] Red Line by RomChicago [Alpha 2][09.03.12] [JB4.1.1]

As many of you know, my goal with Rom Chicago has always been to build the simplest and most functional rom. The original Rom Chicago was based on tmobile's release products. Red Line is the culmination of everything I have learned so far: It is built from source, based on AOKP, with the intent of making the Rom fully AOSP over time. Thus, some AOKP features have been removed. The goal is SPEED, STABILITY, and FUNCTIONALITY.
When I figure github out finally I'll push the source.

Does wifi calling work on this ROM?
im not sure about this but i would say no. wifi calling is a tw feature and being that there is no source code yet for our phone all jb roms r aosp which dont support wifi calling
Can you (or someone else that desires to be bothered with it) give a quick overview of which features of AOKP haven't been included?
I assume things like Tablet Mode aren't in this build, or...?
I think asking for flashing instructions are valid for a couple reasons...
You won't have a thread full of asking how to flash
And every dev has a flashing method

I flash enough to know every rom has a different flashing method. Thanks for the helpful post btw.

Ehh I'm more a blue line person.....
I haven't checked out the rom yet but. Love the name.
Flashing all roms is basically the same UNLESS otherwise listed with the Posted rom. Clear what normally gets cleared and flash from a fresh install is what I would do. If no special steps are liisted I would assume that no special steps are needed?
No theirs a apk floating around

As to not get into a debate on flashing lets be honest...
*wipe/data factory reset(TDJ script if on old CWR 5.0.2.x)Also works with TWRP
*flash rom
*flash gapps(if applicable)AOSP based roms
*wipe cache/dalvik(TDJ script if on old CWR 5.0.2.X) Also works with TWRP
*fix permissions(if applicable)
*reboot
*wait 5-10 minutest to settle
*reboot sign in
I have not seen too many variations of this simple flashing method but I could be wrong :good:
So what works and what doesnt in this rom ?

Do you have a link to Embryo 7 that works for T989? All i found on our forum is 6.11. I found and downloaded 7 from the skyrocket forum but it wouldnt boot, even after flashing tiberious.
Embryo 7 is only the att skyrocket forums, so if you flash that ROM you would need a tmobile radio and a t989 kernel for our phone if you want you can grab it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275630 and im sure @soupysoup would be happy to help if you have anymore questions about the ROM as if im correct he loves that ROM

Did you wipe system and data? Do you have newest radio installed? You flashed rom, then t989 4.1.2 kernel before rebooting. Make sire you flashed proper kernel. Nora 4.2.2 kernel. And wipe cache and davlik after flashing those 2 then reboot? And no gapps required.
