I would consider "dpkg -P" instead of "dpkg -r" for complete uninstallation. I would also try "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get autoremove" in case something not got installed or uninstalled properly.
And the most important thing.. the one i would do last is.
apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher
To revert back to the stock kernel. In other case he would probably get a reboot loop.

thanks for the reply, apparently its because i installed mobilehotspot, which is depending on the kernel flasher, hence when i try to uninstall it via xterminal, i get a error message.
am i better off uninstalling that as well?
thanks
Just "dpkg -P mobilehotspot" should do it. I am not aware about that program so much.
1. Open Xterminal
2. write: root
3. write: dpkg -P mobilehotspot
4. write: dpkg --configure -a
5. write: apt-get autoremove
6. write: apt-get clean
If you also want to uninstall kernel-power-flasher you could
apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher

oh i see, but when i open up that app. , it definitely says 'kernel-power flasher', and just to point out also, i installed mobilehotspot quite a while ago, and i had no problem with it....but i guess things like these happen when they feel like it?

true to get it in one thing again
uninstall the mobilehotspot (and have a look if it maybe unsinstalls the power-flasher with it ->details in app-manager)
to make sure all is gone and back to stock become root in a xterminal and proceed
reboot
and no apt-get clean! (not needed and not a good idea as long as you do not run out of rootfs space)
("dpkg --configure -a" is not needed and "apt-get autoremove" is not available for this version of apt so ignore those two)

("dpkg --purge kernel-power-flasher" is the same as "dpkg -P kernel-power-flasher" and "apt-get autoremove" are available.. have done it a couple of times. "dpkg --configure -a" where just a precaution)

hi, thanks for the replies.
ok so now im gonna uninstall mobilehotspot, and hopefully it should take the kernal flasher away with it and everything goes back to normal. if not then i try to go through the commands in terminal.
thanks again.
p.s sorry for asking about every little step, only that i would hate to be stuck in reboot loops , especially when i have two exams coming up tmr and the day after. =(
