as I said, your on your own with the leaked release 1.2.
you can only extract the kernel from the firmware image and reflash it.

Hi Titan,

I've reflashed the kernel and am all up and running again.

I'm posting this from a pc so code won't be accurate, but...

apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher

Gives me:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/spkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

And...

apt-get remove -y kernel-power kernel-power-modules

Gives exactly the same.

Any thoughts? Kernel flasher app is no longer in app manager and the uninstall icon has gone...!

after installing, my kernel-flasher-maemo (maemo25) drop to maemo23 version....is this normal? i have kernel-power-settings 0.8 also installed.

everything is working great, a noob is just wondering
I've installed the same thing but haven't enabled them with the commands yet. I'm waiting to be sure. Anyway, since I'm a bigger noob than you are, can you post your settings. That's the part I'm unsure about. I've OC'ed my device before but not this way with Titan's kernels. I just wanna be sure I'm doing it right.

"Reinstallation of kernel is not possible, it cannot be downloaded"
"Reinstallation of kernel-flasher is not possible, it cannot be downloaded"

Any ideas?
only a reflash will do. you cannot download a kernel of the firmware that's not available yet so that is why you get an error

as titan said, the kernel-flasher-maemo is an "old" one and an "empty" metapackage, so as long as you have "enhanced linux kernel for power users" and "kernel power settings" installed and updated, you are good to go.

general question: will flashing a new kernel result in any reset of the phone? (like firmware update via flasher, when programs are gone etc )

No, using titans kernels & settings from the repo's wont delete or reset anything.
For details on what to do check out http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking#I...hanced_kernels
