I'm going on and trying my best to root here.... but I just can NOT for the life of me, after about... damn... three hours of searching, find anything about how to flash or install (whatever you would call it) a kernal. Through the XDA guide, here. Thing is, I THINK this guide is for basically rooting your phone and putting a stock 2.2 rom on it, and...from what I understand... it's the uhh.... nand unlocked version or something??
I know from reading that means it's full root and allows me to do essentially everything I want to... without altering, ruining/breaking any major phone functions (WiMax radio, FM tuner, GPS, WiFi, etc.). However, it does NOT unlock the framerate cap that I'm trying to escape. I've found a kernal here that I think is what I need to do what I want; escape the FPS cap without fudging up anything else on the phone.
My question is as follows.... through the whole video and text guide of rooting stock 2.2 on my phone courtesy of XDA, no where does it mention any way or how to flash/install a kernal. I can't find a guide anywhere on how to do so either, there are no posts here that I can find, from an hour of searching and desperately reading, for anything and everything related to kernals or roms for the Evo or any phone.
Can someone instruct me, please, on how to flash a kernal? I can't root tonight, as has become apparent to me because I've spent about 9 hours today trying to figure out how to do anything, primarilybecause nowhere I go to seems to give me any help. I have full on intentions to get my root on tomorrow, I feel I've got about 60% of it understood of what I'm doing, but I just can NOT find how to flash a *sparkling jesus* kernal anywhere!!!
Any help is appreciated, links to a guide, a PM on how to, an e-mail, anything!
I'll continue to bump this until I can either:
a) find the information on my own
b) someone aids me in locating said information
c) someone helps me out via instructions
I think I'm the only one who thought rooting was gonna be a one day thing....
