Root Hboot 1.15 kernel issues may be a thing of the past soon

S-ON Kernel Installer - xda-developers

It looks like moderator Haus over at Xda has ported a solution for those of us with kernel flashing troubles.

Basically, If S-ON and 1.15 it will install the kernel when the ROM boots.
Hopefully Devs start incorporating this soon

Oh thank Buddha! I don't like hboot 1.15 for this reason.

Haus is just great, always has been.

Curious about how this fits into the food chain with that Dumlock thing...

From what I understand, with this installer script you wouldnt have to mess with HTC dumlock at all.

At least I hope thats what it is

I see - this is an update.zip approach.

I assume devs will add this to their Rom package right off the bat correct?

Or will this be flashed like a theme or mod after the Rom is flashed?

I'm used to seeing updater scripts in themes and mods, never really tinkered too deeply with roms.

Very good news none the less, make kernels that much easier for perm-rooters.

They might make two payloads, one for each situation, not sure though.

From my understanding it tries to flash the kernel normally, and if that fails (hboot 1.15), has a script installed onto system that will install the kernel during the ROMs first boot.

I don't have the coding know-how you guys do though, so that may be completely off
