So I'm here looking for anyone that has flashed kernel after kernel and gets nowhere. I've tried different roms like CM10.1/2 and liquidsmooth and eclipse with 4.2.2/4.3 kernels and I get a heaping helpful of boot loops! Idk what to do I have Odin'd to stock and back and wiped everything and nothing works. I'm on mibox now and flashed the new dkp kernel for that Rom and it worked for 20 minutes and boot loop. Help?
 
Yup. Unroot stock kernel stock Rom and modem. Than reroot and flashed cwm/twrp and than Rom. Idk why it's doing this. It'll take the dkp for a few minutes than I get random reboot. Till it just simply fails to boot anymore and I have to restore a backup of before I had the kernel.
 
Perhaps just run the rom without changing the kernel and see how it goes.
(I'm assuming when you flash a rom for the sprint model, the kernel is included in the rom.zip?)
 
Trying kt747 3.4 right now. So far it doesn't like dkp, kt747 and another I'll remember when it's too late. Lol
 
Weird my thanks button for your second post and the like button are missing... it always works with the original roms kernel... but Oc is a no-no. Any kernel with oc is not booting.
 
Ah, you think it's an overclocking issue? As in, the kernels you flash (and then get bootloops) are overclocked by default? Makes sense :)
 
Well I've never had a kernel that's oced from the start. Intriguing though. So I'm running kt747 but had to write this three times cuz of my new breakfast bootloops. Lol but it's not completely ruined yet. Usually it's softbricked by now.... hmmmm.... idk
 
Listen... thanks for at least listening. Hopefully I'll get this hammered out. I think it because it's a asurion replacement. That's gotta be it. Oh yeah I am on md4.
 
When did this all start? With a kernel flash? Or did you just get the phone and root/flash/kernel flash/ then:

I'm just playin' :( sorry
 
Just like the latter. Root/Rom/kernel.... bootloops. Then back to stock and all over again... love the pic.what are you sorry for? Your right...lol
 
OK one weird thing I've always made it a habit of wiping cache and davlic.. I forgot to this time and kt747 is actually WORKING. Idk why.... I've always wiped after a kernel flash... now I'm more confused than ever...
 
Yup I will report back tonight if any changes happen. BTW tried to reflash and wipe... bootloops! Reflash than kernel with no cache and davlic wipe... here I am.... going strong.... wth?
 
try this for a test...go into recovery, just wipe cache and dalvik....no flashing of anything.
See what happens. I surmise bootloops judging from what is happening.
Up to you tho...just curious:)
 
After all this... I was working with a friend from the rush forum. It rebooted and soft bricked again... had to restore again. Still No solution.
