check out the stickies at the top of this forum.

you can get the kernels from the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/284413-roms-kernels-download-page.html sticky.

and here is the kernel guide sticky:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/389360-kernels-dummies.html

there is currently only two kernels for gingerbread sense roms, but there are aosp kernels for gingerbread aosp roms.

just make sure that you have sense kernels for sense roms and aosp kernels for aosp roms.

What about froyo kernels with aosp are they universal with gingerbread aosp

No they are not, but most of the big ones have been updated to Gingerbread. If you are going with AOSP I would suggest using Tiamat 3.3.7.

kind of behind on the tiamat i think it is up to 4.0.6 now.

kernels are very specific. so make sure that you know what you are downloading. froyo goes with froyo roms and aosp kernels go with aosp roms. some kernels are universal. main thing is to know what you are about to flash. do some reading and research. also i would check the changelog as well.

Sbc or plain

Sbc or plain

i would use sbc when we get one for gingerbread sense roms.

 

[Krubag]

But plain if I'm running cm7

ahh aosp roms are different then the tiamat sbc 4.0.6 is what i would recommend that you try out first.

 

[Krubag]

rooting with revolutionary gives you clockwork mod. if you want to switch recoveries ( i highly recommend amon ra 2.3) you can check out the guide. i added a how to switch recoveries section.

Also do you have to have you phone on or off when plugging it into the PC for beginning root

it needs to be on and plugged in as charge only.

from what i hear the key is very specific and it is also case sensitive. write it down or make sure everything is how it should be. not sure other then that at the moment.

Make sure it is exactly PC36IMG.zip . Windows hides extensions so be careful not to name it .zip.zip by accident.

it worked but now when i backup first three and wiwax it says, oops something went wrong check recovery log helpppp

Try and do just the wimax partition. You might have something corrupt in the rom that is stopping it from backup up a certain partition.

 

[Krubag]

not working either

 

[Xtremedays]

not working either

Odd, I have not run into issues with it before unless something was corrupt. Try and backup without the wimax partition selected.

 

[Krubag]

will i loose 4g, i had clockwork mod before

 

[Krubag]

it wont backup either if i unselect wimax
