I know there is a CWM flash for kernel back support, and i know we have a stock JFD kernel CWN flash file. My question is, could someone get a JI6 Kernel CWM flash file like we have for JFD?
I know the back support kinda renders this request useless, but still, it's be nice to have the new JI6 kernel in case people are nandroiding between JI6 and JFD for tests and for future uses.
really? no one knows how to do this? Hell, if i have instructions on how to do this, i'll do it. i just don't know where to start.

Flash one of the custom ROM's. i.e. bionix 1.8
It's very easy to create your own flashable zips for any kernel of your choice.
For the JI6 stock kernel pull the zImage from one of the JI6 based ROMs (note - don't use the ones that are packaged with JAC's or KK's kernel). Unzip the stock JFD kernel flashable zip you have (i.e. from the Frankin-Twiz thread) and replace the zImage with the one you just pulled. Rezipp everything and voila you have your very own recovery flashable kernel.

Not what i wanted. the custom roms do kernel back support, which i already have the flashable zip for. That gets me no closer to having a flashable JI6 kernel, only JFD kernel.

Thank you very much for this. i'll work on it a bit today and test it out. thanks!

I've tried to keep my Vibrant as close to stock as possible because I don't want to lose the OTA update capability. I don't want to have to flash to stock via Odin before I update my phone because it is hardware locked. So far, I've only done minor mods (metamorph, removed bloat).
So if I install a custom kernel such as JAC's or KK's overclocked kernels, will I lose the ability to OTA update? Will the update simply overwrite the existing kernel on my phone?

Most likely the devs in this forum will have a working and better version of any OTA you will get. Also when you get the OTA you will loose root and most likely get the bloat back. In my opinion you are better off waiting for one of eugene or bionix roms anyway.
To be more specific, my question is whether updating to any future ROM/OTA update will overwrite the existing kernel, or do I have to flash the stock kernel back before any of this?

You have to flash the stock kernal in order to be able to receive an OTA
Frankin-Twiz Final, awesome
can a stock kernal be flashed right over a custom kernal? (jac oc/uv)

I think so, unless you have any kind of lagfix installed. I say so because I have flashed ROMS like Bionix (which has its own kernel) over stock and vice versa. MAKE SURE NO LAGFIX IS INSTALLED!
is there a link for a stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork recovery as a zip without ODIN?
Im assuming there is as I flashed the OC/UV Jac kernel though clockwork, so assuming that stock should be able to be flashed through clockwork.
Thanks
EDIT:
Can someone confirm that this is the stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork? If I flash this (just stay rooted and with mobile AP) I should go back to be able to receive OTA updates, correct (I have not flashed any custom roms, just kernel)??

I flashed JAC's kernel w/ voodoo & colorfix last night, using the back support files, and everything is good. However, I had previously flashed the JI6 modem for the better reception, and the back support files revert the modem back to JI2. Does anyone know for certain if the JI6 modem can now be reflashed without any ill effects? The thread in the Dev. section is silent on this question. TIA.

Shouldn't pose any issues at all... Ahhh, I see what your referring to. I'm not sure why the official back ported files zip contains the kernel or modem. If you'd like, here's a stand-alone flashable JI6 modem.

Pass. Thanks. Now it's perfect, pending FroYo when it shall be more than perfect...

Thanks much for the advice and the link. Works well.
I got a Telus Note today, and of course first thing I do is try to root it. But I didn't read the directions well enough so wound up flashing a GB kernel and softbricking my phone.
I couldn't find a stock ICS kernel, so I downloaded a stock rom and extracted the kernel. If anyone needs it, here it is in an odin flashable tar so you don't have to download and flash 500megs of firmware...
(Hope this isn't in the wrong forum, if it is let me know and I'll move it)

Hello do you still have the original ROM or the link to it? I'd like to flash back to complete stock. Thanks!
SO I have been tinkering a little with kernels and whatnot, but forgot to take a nandroid backup of my stock setup.
Just a quick question to ask, if I want to return to my stock kernel, is there a download link for it or am I sorta screwed in that respect?
Having said that despite not really being sure of the Perseus benefits, it does seem quite better on battery!
Thanks

You can get the stock kernel from downloading an odin package.
From the odin package, rename the I9300abcdf.tar.md5 to 19300abcdf.tar changing the extension.
Then you can extract the tar file and get the boot.img which is the stock kernel.
Then, you can drag and drop it and replace the existing kernel in any rom.zip file that you are going to flash.
Now you have stock kernel. :good:
Sorry if this is complicated. :3
If you're using an official firmware with custom kernel, just flash the same firmware via odin. Stock kernel replaces whatever was there.
If for custom roms, most will use stock or maybe slightly modified so just flash the rom again in cwm. The kernel in the rom will replace anything you had.

Quick question, hopefully easy for someone far wiser than myself, how do I rip the zImage from my currently installed ROM. And, from what I read from other threads, I can simply inject it into another kernel's flashable zip?
I have no copy of flappp's ICS kernel. I'd like to rip it off my phone for safe keeping. Someone in general posted links to his JB kernels. If I just replace the zImage in one of those with the zImage from my phone, it would then be the same difference -- it would work if I was to reflash BS in the future?
There was an app that I used back in the captivate days that would do this but no idea if it works but it was sgs kernel flasher. or you could just go download his kernel from rootdev.org
