Root Dumb Rooting Question

[ritzg]

i wasn'r sure which forum to post this question since it is a rooting question, but not specific to any phone.

I've read a lot about flashing ROM's and flashing Kernels. I don't understand what the difference is, or whet one does vs the other. I know I flashed a ROM, but have no idea if I flashed a kernel or if I even need to do so.

I think I successfully rooted my LG Marquee, The specs on my phone right now are:

Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: LG855ZV4-M6600A-SCAUTSZ-3.0.40t
kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-HYPER.v2.0 BD@SS #5
Build number: CTMod 3.68
SW Version: LG855ZVC

Am I where I'm supposed to be? Is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance, as I an very new to all of this.

Seems to me that you've done everything you need to do. When you flash CTMod 3.6.8 , you've flashed a ROM. The author of that ROM, Bloodawn, included Hyper Kernal 2.0 in the ROM. I'm sure more members will weigh in on this subject but again, I think you've done exactly what you were supposed to. Congratulations!

Yes you're good to go. The kernel is included. You must've used the ZV4 version (Boost) of CTMod, hence the ZV4 baseband. The reason the software reads ZVC is because CTMod was built from ZVC to allow a few extra things like Roaming I believe.

For the future, if you want to look inside the ROM, if you see a boot.img file, that is the kernel.
