[Q] Flashing A Kernel

---

I have read every thing I can find on flashing a ROM but I need some help on flashing Kernel's. I know there is a post on it because I have saw it, but I cant find it now, even with search.

Put the zip on your sd card
Backup
Boot in to Clockwork
Clear cache
Clear Davlik
Flash kernel zip
Reboot
???
Profit

EDIT:
Don't forget to backup unless you're like me and like to live on the edge. I've flashed multiple kernels this way but I grabbed the original instructions from LorDmod's kernel page in the DesireHD forums.

Thanks helushune, that sounds simple enough. You don't know were the thread is on this do you. I have saw a thread on flashing kernels like the sticky above on flashing ROM's. I would love to find it and save it as a favorite like I did the one ROM's for future reference.

EDIT: Just saw your edit, the one I saw was here in the Inspire thread. I haven't never been on the Desire HD thread.

There might be a kernel thread floating around here somewhere but I can't remember the title. The LorDmod one I referenced can be found here.

Thanks Helushune maybe if I keep looking I will find it.

Just literally flash it just like you would a rom. I don't backup, or anything but that's me. It would be safer though to backup just incase, but you'll be fine.

Thanks dilligaf, It will be your 25% rom I flash when you get done testing it.

Jusr remember if you do decide to go for a Rom also, that kernel isn't compatible with any Rom that says it has fugu tweaks enabled, since that kernel is completely stock besides the sound boost as per your request. Fugu tweaks will make it so laggy it will be unusable.

dilligaf is it the one I downloaded night before last (stockkernelSND_BOOST.zip) or is there another one?

capman231

Yup that's the right one, all stock except for sound boost. Only optimization are compiler optimizations
