Noob kernal question
I gave up my Touch pro for my new Moment. Very happy so far. I have flashed my TP many many times, no worries there. So, I'm new to "rooting" and I don't want to mess it up. A few noob questions..
What is the latest Kernal? I see 14.3 but the wiki ways 14.4? Did I miss the link? Also, there is a ton of SPH_900 files on megauploads. "update" ones, "patchnoob" ones? Which is the proper link for rooting from a stock CL14 phone? Is there an easy way to flash back to stock for the upcoming 2.1 update? Thanks Jeff |
Re: Noob kernal question
you need to read the HOW TOs that are stickied
kernel versions change rapidly and usually the wiki shows the new version before it is posted for download the how tos will answer your questions. |
Re: Noob kernal question
YES, I did read the "HOW TO" which I see your wrote and , actually, it does not clearly say what file it is.
There are 59 files on the list. Some I can see are older versions. Some look like complete ROMS and others (the smaller ones) are the kernel I guess. I don't want to brick my phone. For example I see.. ZE14.3_update.zip SPH-M900_ZE14.3_KERN_SPR.tar.7z (I'm guessing its this one - but I don't want to guess) |

From that information find the latest Kernel listed For right now ZE14.4 is the most recent as of 3/14/2010 at 612PM then go to this link http://www.megaupload.com/?f=HMZJZUQW and search for ZE14.4, if you do not see it there that means Zefie hasn't made it available yet so you'll have to get ZE14.3. It does take a little bit of effort to find the recent kernel because they change so rapidly. You can usually find the latest kernel on the last page, just click the NEXT at the bottom until you get to the last page and start from there.. Good luck! |

That is exactly what I was asking. Also, glad to know it's tougher to brick the phone then I thought. I have zero android experience, and I don't want to learn the hard way! |
Re: Noob kernal question
BEFORE YOU FLASH
make sure cl14 is out of the folder, first time i tried to flash to joey's 1.8 i left cl14, and though it was renamed it still flashed it instead of the kernal, so i lost all my files, apps, etc. and was left with stock cl14. best to be safe and move it out. |

Thanks skyj635. I already rooted my phone but during the process was left wondering what the "update" files were for.
